Port lotniczy Belfast-City George Best lub port lotniczy City im. George'a Besta w Belfascie, ang.: George Best Belfast City Airport, irl.: Aerfort Chathair Bhéal Feirste, kod IATA: BHD, kod ICAO: EGAC) – międzynarodowe miejskie lotnisko (ang.: city airport) obsługujące Belfast w Irlandii Północnej w Wielkiej Brytanii. Port lotniczy City jest oddalony  3,2 km od centrum miasta. Posiada jedną utwardzoną drogę startową o długości 1829 metrów.

Dawniej, lotnisko było znane jako Belfast Harbour Airport, a później – Belfast City Airport.

W 2006 nadano mu imię George Best Belfast City, upamiętniając słynnego piłkarza George'a Besta.

Port im. Besta jest drugim lotniskiem Belfastu. Głównym portem lotniczym miasta, a zarazem Irlandii Północnej, jest port lotniczy Belfast-International, posiadający długie drogi startowe, obsługujący loty transatlantyckie.

Historia i właściciel portu City
Lotnisko wybudowano w 1937 i nazwano Sydenham Airport. W 2003 lotnisko zostało sprzedane hiszpańskiej firmie Ferrovial za £35 milionów.

Ferrovial jest bardzo dużym inwestorem światowym z naciskiem na ruch lotniczy. Po niedawnej częściowej sprzedaży swoich udziałów w najruchliwszym lotnisku Australii – porcie Sydney-Kingsford Smith, nadal posiada 79% tego portu, a jako właściciel nowonabytego zarządcy brytyjskich lotnisk, BAA, włada dużymi portami lotniczymi w Wielkiej Brytanii, w tym Londyn-Gatwick i Londyn-Stansted, jak i również dziewięcioma portami lotniczymi w Meksyku oraz jednym w Chile.

Zmiana nazwy

Władze lotniska w marcu 2006 postanowiły zmienić nazwę portu lotniczego ku pamięci piłkarza George'a Besta. Wywołało to kontrowersje w Irlandii Północnej i gdzie indziej, jako że sam George Best był osobą kontrowersyjną, a poza tym, część społeczności wyraziła w sondażu życzenie nadania patronatu piłkarza raczej nowemu stadionowi piłkarskiemu. Przychylnych było 52% respondentów wypowiadających się na temat nadania patronatu Besta portowi lotniczemu Belfast City. W tym samym czasie, lokalna linia lotnicza Flybe umieściła podobiznę George'a Besta na kadłubie samolotu Bombardier-Dash 8 o numerze rejestracyjnym G-JECL.

No, "Sō desu ne" is used to represent "Ya, it's true". For example : This apartment is expensive (Kono apa-to wa takai desu) and you may use "Sō desu ne" to answer him/her because you are agreeing to what he/she has mentioned.
Where "Sō desu ka" means "Is it?" like the above lesson.
Could you help me understand something??? In this sentence (Hai, Mado mo ka-ten mo shimemashita), why are there two "mo"s? What do they represent? Thanks for everything! Your web site has helped me beyond anything I've ever found!
In direct translation, it is "The window also (mo) closed and curtain also (mo) closed".
Cool! Thanks for that! I just gotta remember…"mo" represents "also".
For me, Did you close the window? and Is the window closed? are the same. Both also use the same.
Thank you for your reply, Tony. I was curious because in English they don't necessarily mean the same thing. For example, when you ask "Is the window closed" the person would answer, "Yes" even if someone other than the person you're asking had closed the window. Whereas if the question was "Did you close the window" the answer would be "No" if someone else had closed the window. I was just wondering if there was such a distinction in Japanese as well.
In Japanese both use the same. The closest to your question would be to add "Anata wa" in front. ie.
Anata wa mado o shimemashita ka? means Did you close the window? However I can still use the sentence without placing "Anata wa" in front since I am talking to that person directly.
hmm.. i beleive that it would be mado wa(ha) shimemashita? as the window is the subject rather than the the person who closed it..
wa would be translated as 'was'.
[anata wa] mado o shimemashita ka? for did you close the window, anata wa can be dropped from the sentence without changing the meaning as long as the subject (topic i.e person not window) is known.
mado wa shimemashita ka? – Was the window closed?
[anata wa] mado o shimemashita ka? – Did YOU close the window?
"What do you WANT to drink?" is "nani o nomitai desu ka?" – that is we use tai form of the verb.
train in japanese is densha right?
Do you want to eat some bread?
Where at did you eat?
Hi burritoboy, yes, they are the same. With the "desu", it is a polite form.
with "ka" = You want to eat or not?
with "no" = You want to eat?
It's being explained in comment 22. Both can be used.
I think that there is a mistake in conversation 2.
"Uchi wo karimashitaka?" can have a meaning of renting a "home/place for living" in general. Answering "iie", when you actually rented an apartment is probably a mistake.


I'm also seriously considering continuing to study once this course ends in June, I'm really loving it and I just don't think I have the energy to go back to the unknowns of unemployment at the moment. At the start of the course my plan was to look for work for 6 months after I got my Cert. 4 and if I hadn't gotten a job then do my Diploma in Community Services the following year but the more I think about the more it makes sense to just continue studying. It's a year course compared to 6 months and a few of my classmates are wanting to continue to study it too so I will already know people, along with the campus and all in all it will be much less anxiety inducing if I just go straight from doing my Cert. 4 to doing the Diploma.
I don't need to enrol for a few months so for now I am praying about it and focusing on finishing my Cert. 4.
I've finally booked in to the see the physio next Monday about my ankle, so hopefully I will get some exercises to do and I will see some improvement.
For those wondering I have tiny (pin prick) avulsion fracture, the treatment is the same for a sprain; keeping it strapped, staying off it as much as possible (so my morning walks are out for the time being) and doing some exercises from a physio. So while it is technically broken its so small, so its the best case scenario for a fracture. I do notice a huge difference in how it feels on the days I keep off it, last Friday I was baking all afternoon and that night it really hurt, compared to Monday when I kept off it and the pain was minimal.
I've also been watching bits and pieces of the Commonwealth games, mainly focusing on the Gymnastics! I am always in awe of what gymnasts are capable of and just how effortless they look when you know it must be super hard.
Rylee Luxe Stripe Batwing long sleeved top - I can't believe I am already thinking about my Winter wardrobe. I always like Autumn and Spring as its not too hot or cold and I get away with jeans, tops and flats but come Winter I break out the long sleeves! I always have trouble finding nice long sleeved tops but when I saw this top at Jeanswest it was love at first sight. It's such a flattering print and fit plus the fabric feels amazing.
The Detail - this show is so good! Its from the people who did Saving Hope and it's so nice to see a crime/police show based around 3 strong women. The first 2 episodes have been amazing and I know it will only get better and better.
Over My Head by Echosmith - music always makes doing assignments less boring and Echosmith is often on repeat. I loving all their new music of course I manage to have their new song Over My Head stuck in my head throughout the day but I'm not complaining.
Kikki K Everyday Gen Pen Cat - this is my current pen of choice for assignments and study, I love the gel ink and it rolls so smoothly. I actually now have 4 of these pens because I love them so much. The cat print is super cute too and it's a great way to show your love of cats when you're studying.

A Coffee-Table Discussion of 'the City of Heritage'
» Preserving Hue culture and personality
» Opportunities for tourism
» Submitting dossier to UNESCO for recognition of Hue Singing as an intangible cultural heritage
» Making Hue a culinary capital Part 3: Menu for Hue dishes
» Signing cooperation agreement to bring cultural heritage into schools in Hue
Hue is always changing. Despite the old stories and documents mentioned, this talk with Nguyen Dac Xuan, a researcher, has been about the new goals for a model of the heritage city.
In particular, the heritage city of Hue will be a municipality, detaching from the provincial governance to develop and motivate the provincial growth, in response to the desire of Hue lovers.
Thanh Tung, the reporter (left), and Nguyen Dac Xuan, the researcher
According to you, why does Thua Thien Hue need a special mechanism in developing it into a municipality?
Hue deserves it. In addition to the internationally recognized Ancient Capital with its five heritages, both tangible and intangible ones, Thua Thien Hue has many more heritages that have not been applied for the recognition, not to mention the valuable people of Hue. The recognized heritages have not been well promoted, and those on the way to application for recognition are being threatened and degraded, or even wiped out.
All these heritages are under the management of a district-level institution-governed by the authorities of a province which has 70% of its population involves in agriculture. These are national concerns that provincial leaders as well as Hue locals and Hue lovers want a special mechanism to preserve and promote the values of a unique heritage area before it is too late.
Why do you advocate the expansion of the city five times larger than the current size to establish a central-governed heritage city?
For the past ten years, I have always raised my voice regarding the expansion of the city into a central-governed heritage city. I am happy to know that the idea has been agreed and supported.
I have not known much about the bases from which the expansion to five times larger than the current size is developed, so I would rather not make any comment on the size. But from my point of view, there is a necessary investigation of the locations of valuable heritages, including the heritages in the time of the Nguyen Dynasty, the Nguyen Lords, the Tay Son and the Champa.
Once the information is gathered, it will be the basis for the expansion plan. For those heritages that is so distant away, such as Hai Van Son (in the far south of Phu Loc district) and Hoa Chau Bastion (in Quang Dien district), that cannot be included, there must be special policies for appropriate preservation.
The expansion of Hue to respond to the need of a city with many heritage sites in Vietnam is an appropriate policy, but there will be mixed opinions. How should the issue be dealt with?
This has been the first consideration. People in Quang Nam and Da Nang are under two separate administrative systems, but they share a common tradition and spirit. Likewise, people in Thua Thien Hue and the locals of the city of Hue are (as) one.
Hue people and Thua Thien Hue people are a unity. People from Phong Dien or Phu Loc often claim themselves to be from Hue with pride when they go to other cities or provinces. The reason behind the disagreement over the establishment of the heritage city is that some people have not had the sense of honor in having their hometown as a heritage city, nor have they seen through the benefits that the heritage city brings to them.
The provincial leaders need to explain to the people. As I experienced the war and the war-time hardship for many years, I well understand the truth about the mass power: "the easiest can be unsuccessfully achieved without public support, but the hardest thing can be done easily with the help from the public."
It is said that the establishment of the city of heritage aims to develop the tourism economy. Do you think so?
The heritage restoration is for tourism exploitation. Without exploiting it, there is no interest in the heritage, even the most valuable. Normally, when there is a hot trend in tourism, different products and services will be made to satisfy the demands.
The establishment of heritage city is associated with the development of tourism economy in Hue and Thua Thien Hue. But this is different from the building of big temples for spiritual tourism. The establishment of the heritage and the development of tourism in Hue and Thua Thien Hue are mutually beneficial one the one hand, but independent from each other on the other.
A heritage city has a mission to manage, preserve and promote the value of the great complex of heritages, which is spiritually valuable to a nation with a millennial culture and civilization.
All the heritage must be properly managed, preserved and promoted in accordance with the Heritage Law. It is an invaluable resource that the tourism industry can select appropriate value for their tourism products.
The value of Hue heritages is like a beautiful lady. If the lady wants to participate in a beauty contest, she must be taught more about the ethics, fashion, manners in public and even English, as well as taken good care of and promoted. Likewise, the "beautiful lady" of Hue heritages must be well promoted by the tourism industry.

On the picket line
Thousands of school teachers and support staff rallied at the Minnesota State Capitol on the second day of the Minneapolis strike, March 9.
Teachers take bosses to 'Strike School'
Teachers across the country are still reeling from the topsy-turvy pandemic world of virtual classrooms, COVID-19 outbreaks and mask naysayers. It's no wonder these essential workers are giving out failing grades to school administrators and the lack of coherent policies to protect students and teachers. Minneapolis teachers just ended a 13-day strike after winning "major gains . . . on pay for education support professionals, protections for educators of color, class-size caps and mental health supports," according to the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers. The union is expected to vote on the contract in the very near future.
Sacramento City Teachers Association and support staff began a strike just as the strike in Minneapolis ended. Low staffing seems to be the primary grievance, as a sixth-grade teacher on the picket line asserted: "Jobs are posted but they stay posted. [Administrators] are not following through to get those people interested in being teachers in our classroom or support staff in our classroom. We need that. Our students need that." (CBS Sacramento, March 24)
Coffee shops are waking up the labor movement
Salute to all those baristas out there who are giving a caffeine-infused jolt to the U.S. labor movement. The Starbucks union drive started in Buffalo, New York, with the first union vote win in December 2021. Since then, over 150 Starbucks across the country have begun or won union organizing campaigns. OTPL reported recently on the drive at the five Pittsburgh Union Coffee Tree Roasters shops. There are still more small coffee shops jumping into the worker-led movement to gain bargaining rights and a voice determining workplace conditions.
Baristas at Colectivo Coffee at 15 locations in Chicago and Wisconsin just won a NLRB decision, when the Milwaukee-based company attempted to challenge the union vote. The majority of the 400 employees, including workers in the production and shipping facilities, voted for representation by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). After the NLRB decision, the corporation folded with this statement: "We have decided not to continue our legal appeal and will commence to prepare to bargain in good faith with the union." (Wisconsin Examiner, March 25)
Finally, let's support the baristas and cooks at Great Lakes Coffee Roasters in midtown Detroit, who began a strike in February after the company ignored worker complaints, including safety issues following a COVID-19 outbreak that infected 20 out of 24 employees. Calling themselves "Comrades in Coffee," the workers organized with UNITE HERE Local 24. The strike demands that management recognize the workers' union affiliation and their bargaining rights as union members. Great Lakes Coffee Roasters workers are demanding a fair wage and benefits, proper safety measures and sick time to protect workers, stable working schedules and a "seat at the table" to better communicate with management.
Workers using strikes to communicate their demands
Workers at Chicago TV station WTTW went on strike March 16. IBEW Local 1220 represents around two dozen workers at the station, including technicians, graphic artists and floor crew members. The workers have filed multiple grievances over the past four years against management's attempts to hire nonunion labor. Arbitration through the NLRB resulted in decisions that favor the union, but the tone-deaf bosses refused to listen.
Maximus call center workers chose March 23, the anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, to walk off the job. Communications Workers of America was involved in organizing the strike. Maximus employs around 10,000 people who work at 11 federal Medicare and ACA call centers in nine states. The irony is that these workers are fighting for a living wage and health benefits.

The killing of Forest Defender Tortuguita in Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia Public outrage, resistance and sadness at the senseless killing of a Forest Defender…


Welcome to Penn's Grove! It is with great enthusiasm that I introduce myself as the 7th grade Sycamore Team social studies teacher. I have been with the Oxford Area School District since 2005.
I am anticipating an exciting year of growth and learning. I'd like to provide a brief overview of some of the requirements and expectations for my class this year.
This is an online curriculum program for instruction and student assignments. Students will use their school iPads in class and at home to access material and complete assignments.
Not more than 10% - Homework - For classes where Homework will count less than 10%, the remaining percentage will be added to Performance Assessments.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STUDENT TO RESCHEDULE ANY MISSED QUIZZES OR TESTS DUE TO ABSENCE FROM CLASS.
STUDENTS WILL HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF DAYS THEY WERE ABSENT TO MAKE UP MISSED WORK.
A positive classroom environment is necessary to foster learning for all students. Students are expected to follow Penn's Grove PRIDE and demonstrate respect, integrity, dependability, and empathy at all times.
The Student Handbook provides a detailed explanation of the Disciplinary Code.
I usually contact home at several points throughout the year with positive comments, updates, and concerns as they arise. Please feel free to contact me at any time with questions or concerns.
or by phone: (610) 932-6615.
We are going to have a great 7th grade year here at Penn's Grove!

Q: How to get file list in a directory with webpack 5 at compile time The question is clear but I would like to give my use case for better understanding.
I'm creating a personal blog app and my blog posts will in .mdx format. These blog post .mdx files reside in a directory in the code base called posts. I can render any .mdx file in the following BlogPost component for each url like /posts/post1.
import React, { Suspense } from 'react'
import { useParams } from 'react-router-dom'

export const BlogPost = () => {
  let params = useParams()
  const Post = React.lazy(() => import(`../../posts/${params.postId}.mdx`))

  return (

      <Suspense fallback={
Loading...
}>
        <Post />
      </Suspense>

  )
}

And my file structure is like this:
/posts
--post1.mdx
/src
--/views
-----BlogPost.tsx
-----BlogList.tsx

So, whenever I want to add a new blog post I basically add a new .mdx file to the repository. However I don't want to edit any component. I mean, I don't want to have a variable that keeps list of the list of blog posts like following.
export const listOfBlogPosts = ["post1", "post2", ...]

Because it will need to be updated every time I add a new post. Instead I would like to get list of files dynamically in BlogList component.
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom'
import style from './BlogList.module.css'

export const BlogList = () => {
  const listOfBlogPosts = ['post1', 'post2'] // get somehow dynamically

  return (

      {listOfBlogPosts.map((post) => {
        return <Link to={post}> {post}</Link>
      })}

  )
}

How can achieve this? Is there a logical problem with my approach(i.e keeping dynamic files in the repo)? Any suggestion or comment would be appreciated

Google has just reminded us of the two most popular games on original Windows 3.0 desktop—the 'solitaire' and 'tic-tac-toe'—with the search company added the two games into their search results.
Starting today, now you can play two of the oldest and most popular games for all ages, on desktop and in the Google moible search app, the company stated.
According to the announcement, now when you search for "solitaire" or "tic-tac-toe" on Google, the search results page on both desktop and mobile will deliver the two games for you to directly play.
In this game of naughts and crosses, you can select your level of difficulty or even go head to head against a friend. Xs and Os to the winner (hugs and kisses, that is!).
Additionally, Google also shared some fun tips with teasing its previously released Easter eggs, and asking users to search on Google, 'what sound does a pig make?' Or 'flip a coin'.
"These are just a sample of the delightful surprises that await you on Google," stated Google.
After all, Search is for so much more than research and practical matters — it's for fun, too!


If memory serves me correctly it was one of those sweet, sunny, blue-sky days that serves to accentuate the trees and shrubs sporting their last explosive hurrah. Steve was home from work so it must have been a weekend. While he attended to the kiddos I took some uninterrupted outside time.
Situated on 10 forested acres, our surroundings felt like a perpetual camping trip with all the amenities. If I listened closely I could hear an occasional car on the highway down the hill and sometimes at night animal sounds might echo off the trees and wake us but mostly it was deafeningly quiet and I felt like there was no world out there, beyond our brier-clad borders. Just me, my family back at the house and nature.

A pile of bricks lay discarded under a tangle of brambly grasses on the far side of the gravel driveway. The day of their discovery was a mood-booster as I contemplated their future utility as flooring for pathways and edging for raised beds.
But presently, I only needed one member of that obscure pile. One damp, muddy brick would suffice. Fueled with equal parts defiance and stupidity, I was sure that it would do the trick. With it grasped within my palm, I traipsed through the leaning, knee-high grasses over to a clearing where upon closer inspection, one could witness the indisputable opening to a thriving yellow jacket tunnel. But those little monsters had met their match!
I began my verbal eviction notice. "You might hold some kind of obscure purpose on this planet," I told them in no uncertain terms, "but you were mistaken if you think that you can make my garden your permanent residence!"
And so, as self-appointed Ruler of my dominion, coupled with all the bravado I could falsify, I stepped closer to the opening, gingerly stretched out my arm and held the brick over the opening about 4 feet up. Eyes focused on my target, I began to squat and loosen my grip on the brick.
Fire! My middle finger...burning, directly underneath the very spot where a fearless Nest Protector just perched its brazen self. I shook my hand to get it off which caused the release of the brick. Where it landed, I wasn't sure because I was running like hell.
As I got closer to the house, I stopped, turned around and once I was satisfied that the dang bees weren't chasing me, (like that black cloud would always do on those cartoons we watched as kids, remember?) I heaved a sigh of relief.
My finger healed. And eventually it got cold and the yellow jackets either died or moved on or did whatever yellow jackets do, and that was the end of it. Lesson learned.
OH Grace your title sucked me in and I had to find out what you were talking about.
I can just see you know! Why is it that yellow jackets seem to protect their nests from the property owners?! I've had the same issue but I can't tell the story nearly as well.
Ouch! But sorry I had to laugh at your lesson learned. LOL! It is one of those moments when we ask ourselves, "Now why in the world did I do that stupid trick?" LOL!
Oh that must have hurt....whoops.
We all do those things, hopefully just not over and over again.
Oh my!! They are savage little critters for sure! We've run across them while repairing fences; their nest would be right underneath the post.
It was a pleasure to visit.
I do wonder their reason for being. Rusty has had them chase him from the far back of our property to our front porch!
I tired to extricate or bury ground bees once...woops big mistake... they flew inside my t-shirt and stung me...I have had many earlier encounters with bees and wasps and they always win so I steer clear now and give them a wide berth in my garden!!
Ouch is right! The first house Larry and I bought, when we were in our 20s was an old farm house that was now part of the city, but retained 3 lots. I had 2 huge veggie gardens. One one of them, we had piled grass clippings down the edge, about 18 inches high. I think it was toward the end of the season, I decided to spread the clippings over the garden with a rake. I didn't know some kind of bees had taken up residence there. I sure made them mad! I don't remember if I got stung. I just asked Larry, and first, he said, "Yeah, you got stung 3 times", then he hesitated, and said, "I think you did." I guess he's losing some of his memory, too. It was over 35 years ago.
I did remember to be careful when working on the compost pile across the street yesterday. The texture of it was reminding me of those grass clippings.
Yellow jackets are the meanest, nastiest critters on earth!
Sorry you were stung, but thankful it was only once.
My very first memory of my life is being stung up with bees (aged 3). Traumatic stuff, I hear ya.
I like 'all the bravado I could falsify.' That's certainly me and wasps. Great tale.
Dear Grace---first, so lovely of you to visit us...I love your two blogs.
You were lucky, Grace. I have a very good friend who opened the door to his deceased grandparent's home and was stung 36 times. 911 was called and he now has some type of emergency kit that he must carry with him. Now whether he does or not is another story.
Nasty little critters!! We run into them sometimes when building fence; they will have a nest directly under the post!

Israel's Health Minister To McDonald's: 'Not In Our Country'
By Daniel Estrin
Published April 22, 2016 at 12:37 PM EDT
McDonald's is super popular in Israel — the chain even offers potato-starch hamburger buns, like this one, that are kosher for Passover. But now McD's is fighting back against the Israeli health ministry's accusations that it's "junk food."
"Junk food? Not at McDonald's!"
At least, that's what the fast-food chain hopes to convince Israel's health minster.
The gutsy slogan appeared at the top of full-page advertisements in Israeli newspapers last weekend after health minister Yakov Litzman called for a boycott of McDonald's in Israel – part of a new push to combat ballooning obesity and unhealthy eating habits in the country.
"You shouldn't eat junk food. McDonalds: Out. Not in our country," the minister said at an April 12 conference for cardiologists.
McDonald's is the largest fast-food chain in Israel. There are kosher branches in the country, and on the weeklong Passover holiday, which begins Friday, McD's substitutes its usual hamburger buns with potato-starch buns, in line with the Jewish custom of not eating bread products on the holiday. (It's a dietary commemoration of the biblical story of the Exodus, when the Israelites were in such a rush to flee Egypt that they did not have time to wait for their bread to rise.)
Israelis tend to be healthier eaters than the average American. A Mediterranean diet is the norm. The country's staples of falafel and hummus make it a vegan's paradise. People frequently eat salad for breakfast. Yet, about half of Israeli adults are overweight, according to 2013 health ministry statistics.
The way McDonald's sees it, the health minister is picking on the wrong fast-food chain.
/ Daniel Estrin for NPR
The message at the bottom of the Israeli newspaper ad by McDonald's is directed at Israel's health minister: "When unhealthy food is defined scientifically and not according to slogans, you will be able to prove that McDonald's Israel is the exact opposite of junk food."
In response to criticism about the nutritional value of its food, McDonald's has made changes to its menu worldwide in recent years. In Israel, the chain says, McDonald's reduced fat from unprocessed meat from 18 percent to 9 percent, eliminated trans fats from its French fries, cut saturated fats from its fried food by two-thirds, and reduced sugar and sodium in all of its offerings.
It also began publishing the nutritional value of all of its foods, the first fast food chain in Israel to do so, McDonald's in Israel says.
In Its newspaper ad campaign, McDonald's challenged the Israeli health minister to set a "scientific" definition of junk food. It printed a list of criteria. What amount, it asked, of calories, fats, carbohydrates, sugars, sodium, cholesterol, protein, fiber, fruits and vegetables per 100 grams would qualify as junk?
"When unhealthy food is defined scientifically and not according to slogans," McDonald's ad reads, "you will be able to prove that McDonald's Israel is the exact opposite of junk food."
Will Israel's health ministry take up McDonald's challenge?
Einav Shimron Greenbaum, the health ministry's spokeswoman, would not say. But, in an interview, she stressed that no country's nutritional board has issued a scientific definition of junk food.
In the health ministry's position paper against eating fast food, the ministry defines fast food as food that is eaten in 7-10 minutes without fork and knife, needs little chewing, and makes the eater feel satiated only after 20 minutes, pushing the eater to consume more. High consumption of fast food, according to the health ministry, leads to diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and heart complications.
The health ministry's spokeswoman says these criteria apply to McDonald's, despite the fact that the chain has added healthy items to its menu in recent years.
"No one goes in there to eat salad," Shimron Greenbaum says.
Meanwhile, earlier this week, the Israeli health ministry held the first meeting of its new Regulatory Committee to Advance Healthy Food.
Among the ideas raised, according to the Israeli daily Haaretz: levying taxes on soft drinks; limiting advertisements of food targeting children that is high in salt, sugar and fat; providing discounts of healthy food for the poor; requiring healthy eating education in schools; building gyms in schools; and funding obesity treatments.
Shortly after Israel's health minister made headlines with his super-sized attack on McDonald's, Israeli media reported an embarrassing statistic: according to the health ministry's budget, the minister's office staff spent some 70,000 shekels (about $18,600) on soft drinks in 2015.
At Wednesday's inaugural meeting of the government's healthy food committee, the Haaretznewspaper reported, committee members were served fruits, vegetables and bottled water.

McGregor, Mayweather bout could end up biggest pay-per-view ever
Last week's boxing bout between Conor McGregor's and Floyd Mayweather Jr. was a hit not only at Las Vegas' sports books who pulled in a massive win total, but at the box office. Early estimates indicate that the event could end up the biggest pay-per-view ever, with an estimated 50 million people watching in the United States alone.
Showtime PPV figures released Friday showed the fight was tracking in the "mid to high" 4 million range, threatening the 4.6 million record set by Mayweather's 2015 fight with Manny Pacquiao.
Showtime's Stephen Espinoza, Showtime Sports chief, said the number will likely rise some as more firm figures come in.
He said, "It's a little soon to be predicting a record, but the record is definitely within reach."
Some estimates indicate that 50 million people, or nearly one in six Americans watched the fight. Domestically, at $99.95 a buy, the pay-per-view generated at least $450 million in revenue.

Johnny is proud to endorse and use Eden amplifiers and speakers. That's because no other rig can give him the pure, aggressive tone he demands. Currently he's touring with a WT550 amplifier driving a D215XLT cabinet. In addition, his first Eden, a WT405, still serves as a backup. Johnny also uses a D410XST. Why Eden? "They're fat and warm," says Johnny. "Recently, I checked out a bunch of other heads, just to see what was out there. Nothing even comes close. If you want tone, you want Eden." Just for kicks, go to Eden's site to check out this interview. "Another make I've used, and liked so much I had to buy one, is Mark Bass amps out of Italy. Mine is 750 watts RMS and weighs 6 lbs! Someday you'll be able to finish the gig, put the bass amp in your shirt pocket & go home! Makes all those years lifting an 80 lb. Ampeg SVT out of your hatchback seem like a looong time ago!" Oh, he's still got one of those, too!

How bad can a referee get?
The box score: SJ 2, NE 2. Both of the Quakes' goals at 90+ minutes. Dayak ejected for "serious foul play" and Donovan cautioned (and later suspended) for getting on the ref's case. They say he threw a finger, and probably he did, although I saw the ref whipping out his card on seeing the Golden Boy applauding the linesman sarcastically for not calling back the final goal.
Just when you think referees in the MLS can't get worse, a new low point is reached. The report from the second row of section 107, with a fine look at events in question is this:
Dayak was shoving at Franchino in the box, true. Franchino was shoving at Dayak. I was watching them in particular, given that they had been going at it pretty well and the ref had given them a stern lecture not 30 seconds previously. I didn't see any elbow get thrown, nothing more than what happens every time someone goes up for a header in the box, but I could believe it of Dayak. Didn't see it, but I could believe it. And given said stern lecture, Dayak was asking for trouble, and a yellow (for persistent misconduct, if nothing else) was warranted. A straight red seemed very harsh indeed, but it is something Dayak seems to be making a habit of in his first game back from injury, and frankly if he hadn't been sent off the Quakes would probably have sleep-walked through the rest of the game too.
The referee blew the call on DeRosario's first goal three times over. Here's how it played out: Franchino threw a deliberate elbow at Mullen's head, sending him sprawling. Under the principle previously established, and for the fact that he was generally laying waste to everyone in sight, Franchino should have been sent off right there. The AR frantically waved his flag to report this gross infraction to the CR, who (a) should have seen the infraction himself, it was so blatant, and (b) should have seen the AR and made an advantage/no advantage decision then and there. I was watching the CR the whole time so see when, if ever, he would acknowledge the foul. He didn't look at the AR until DeRosario's shot was past the goalkeeper. At this point he blows his whistle and starts back upfield to acknowledge the goal. After several steps, he notices the AR, mainly because New England defenders are whining at him and they all apparently labour under the fond delusion that it was an offside call. So CR trots over to AR to chat about the weather. It is at this point that fate takes a diabolical turn and the ref's mind wandered into a poppy field: (1) he calls back the goal and (2) he doesn't give the red.
I would have sworn DeRosario was a step offside on the second goal and I was looking straight at him as the play developed saying "get onside, get onside". My son says he was played on by someone on the far side. Mebbe so.
Capsule summary: I'd say that the ref robbed us of two points and a burrito, but the Quakes didn't start playing until they got mad about the one-two punch of the sending off and the blown call on the goal. Memo to Quakes: Next Game, Start Mad. Memo to Dom: Next Game, Start DeRo.

Whenever I attend an event, I'm always dragging more than I can reasonably carry. So I'm always hunting for good / sturdy / transportable period-appropriate baskets. While there are wonderful sutlers who recreate them, their price point tends to be more than I can justify spending. And the few repro baskets I've bought that are affordable are far from sturdy.
So where can we find decent baskets that won't break the bank? Below I have matched the appearance of several modern baskets to 18th century prints.
There are lots of baskets in this print! I can't find a circa date but am guessing that it's earlier in the 18th century, which seems reasonable to use something similar for reenacting purposes.
Ten Thousand Villages sells this $10 Oval Date Palm Basket, which looks similar to the basket above the woman's left hand. But the primary source example only has one handle.
This Fruit Basket by Joanna's Collections ($36, in the solid color) looks similar to the one the woman carries under her right arm.
For a splurge, there's this Bushel Basket from English Basketry Willows for $150--which is a close match to the basket in the print above.
Ten Thousand Villages sells this Laundry Basket for $39. If you remove the lining, it's relatively similar to the one in the print.
Though this basket isn't as deep as the one in the print, The Jealous Maids, I'm fond of this Round Storage Basket from Joanna's Collections ($60).
There's also this Apple Basket by Amish Wares ($48) which is closer in shape to the basket in The Jealous Maids.
For nearly half the price the Container Store sells a Round Date Leaf Basket ($39.99). Given that the other examples all have attached handles and not open handles like this one, this might not work for the authenticity stickler. However this basket offers the best value relative to the large amount that can transport for this price point. Over investing in something that will be outdoors at events and could get wet / ruined, might be worth disguising the top with a blanket or cloak.
Lastly there's the basket that's sold everywhere--especially at Easter. One version I really like is this Williamsburg Market Basket from Joanna's Collections for $42.
This French Market Basket is similar to one that I have (which I blogged about in August). It's an affordable price ($40) for a big basket that's easily transportable at events.
Soaringspiral Designs on Etsy sells lots of beautiful baskets, like this Medium Storage Basket for $42.
And then there's the super splurge basket from English Basketry Willows; they sell this Laundry Basket for $175!
Naturally these are just a few of the many options available...there are oodles more vendors to shop from and period prints to match them to. If you find sources for well priced period-appropriate baskets, I would love to hear about them!
Baskets are a huge favorite of mine too. I can occasionally find okay ones at the Christmas Tree shop, but it is hit-or-miss there. My favorite place to get baskets is the Peterboro Basket Company. They have big sturdy hampers that take a lot of abuse, and they have cooler baskets! I love my big cooler basket, it is very sturdy acts as a table or stool as well as keeping things cool.
Thanks for sharing your source for cooler baskets! I saw photos of it before but couldn't figure out who manufactures it.
I would avoid those coiled baskets. The shape might be correct, but the baskets in those prints are willow. Stick with willow or split wood or if your budget is limited, something that resembles split wood. That Soaringspiral Designs Basket is very good...and a great price. Any of the ones from the English Basketry Willows are appropriate also.
When purchasing a basket - you need to look at the weave of the basket, some of those posted were constructed different and therefor the weave and look are different. Split and woven baskets are constructed different than those that for the period.

Gay Musical 'Jamie' Dazzles With Cinematic First Trailer

20th Century Fox have released the first trailer for its upcoming feature, Everybody's Talking About Jamie, an adaption of the acclaimed musical of the same name.
Based on true events, the film follows a 16-year-old gay teenager, played by new comer Max Harwood, who plans to come out as a drag queen to his prom.

Entertainment Weekly (EW) reports the first trailer reveals the story on a cinematic scale. The feature is directed by Jonathan Buttrell and written by Tom MacRae with music composed by Dan Gillespie Sells.
"I'm just excited for people to see how much joy we've managed to pack onto one screen: an unprecedented amount of joy," MacRae, who also wrote the book for the original musical, tells EW. "And I think it's going to just make people smile from ear to ear, and then shed some tears as well, because you have to earn the big smiles at the end. The trailer really just shows what we've been boiling up in our little secret cauldron for all these years."
Adds Buttrell, "[The trailer] delivers the absolute scale of this [film] and the kind of fabulousness, hopefully, of it. But I think it also delivers the emotional heart that's at the very centre of the story as well."

Originally set to debut this year, 20th Century Fox has confirmed a new release date of February 26 (still in time to qualify for the 2021 Academy Awards, should it emerge as a contender). But for all the frustrating delays, the team behind Jamie argue the movie's feel-good vibes will resonate more than they previously thought possible.
"That's another thing we miss: We need to be taken on these journeys, we need to go on these rides, because it takes us out of ourselves," Gillespie Sells says. "It's a spiritual thing almost. It's been a real joy, and that joy's going to come across out of the screens and out of the speakers into these cinemas, and ideally it will be something that moves everyone and takes everyone on a beautiful journey. I think we need it. You know what: It's time to party."

There is a reason that airplanes don't have "fender benders". When anything on planet earth is taken to an extreme, like moving 500 mph. at 30,000 feet, or exercising with intense and extreme movements, the results are likely to be either amazing and spectacular, or horrifying and destructive.
If you're interested in how to start exercising, consider this, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This is Newtons third Law. This is science, but it's also wisdom. Exercise is as much a sport as eating or driving a car. Food nourishes the body and cars are designed to get you from point A to point B, and that's it. Anything else beyond that is purely for mental satisfaction and the human desire for MORE! The reality is that exercise is no different. It's purpose is to improve the health of your heart, joints, and muscles, not to put your body through grueling, intense routines. How to start exercising = Not starting with intense cross training.
Wow! Are you on a tactical operations team? How about a champion martial artist? As a physical therapist who sees 1-2 patients a month just from cross training programs, I am here to tell you that there is another, more upsetting side to these routines. Learning how to start exercising certainly doesn't start here. Just like the airplane idea, there are those who get to there destination and those that don't. I hear and see the side of intense cross training you never want to see. It's the before and after picture, the only difference is the after picture is a 40 year old in a sling after having rotator cuff surgery from working out! Check out this you tube video if you need to see it to believe it. P.S.. Pay close attention to their amazing technique and form! (wink wink) Click Here.
I had to see inside a cross training studio for myself. In part 2 of this blog post, find out why I never even got past the lobby.


Consumer-facing home valuation tools, especially Zillow's "Zestimate", have long been a source of consternation in the housing industry.
While Zillow describes the Zestimate as simply a "great starting point" for determining the value of a home, homebuyers and sellers often believe that the Zestimate is the true market value of the home.
And while Zillow's tool is mainly designed for people looking to buy or sell a home, there's a new home valuation tool on the market for people looking to buy, sell, or mainly to refinance their mortgage.
The new valuation tool is from LendingTree, which announced Wednesday that it is rolling out a new home valuation feature within its financial intelligence platform, My LendingTree.
According to details from the company, any of My LendingTree's 5 million current users (or anyone else who signs up for the service) will now have the ability to get a valuation of their home within LendingTree's system.
So why is LendingTree offering this service, beyond increasing consumers' knowledge about their financials, of course?
To boost home equity lending, it appears.
LendingTree, which bill itself as "nation's leading online loan marketplace," connects lenders with consumers – and the company views its home valuation tool as a way to provide its users with "actionable" information about their homes and mortgages.
My LendingTree utilizes existing mortgage balance information to estimate the user's home equity, and through real-time marketplace data, informs users when there's an actionable opportunity to tap into home equity.
According to details from the company, My LendingTree users that have a mortgage have an average home value of $310,000 and an average mortgage balance of roughly $178,000, which translates into roughly $132,000 of "untapped home equity" on average.
And the company wants to help its users "tap into" that home equity.
My LendingTree also displays information on a user's existing financial accounts and loans, including credit card accounts, mortgages, home equity loans, auto loans, personal loans, and student loans.
Through My LendingTree, users are also provided with completely free credit scores, an analysis of their credit report that highlights important changes, and grades for the six primary factors that influence their score, LendingTree said.
My LendingTree then alerts users when an opportunity emerges to save money, based on real-time marketplace data on the LendingTree network.
My LendingTree users will also be able to into the system to get a valuation of their home and compare it to their mortgage (as seen in the image below).
As seen in the image below, users are then shown the total equity they have in their home and encouraged to get a home equity loan, if they are interested.
And if this new valuation tool is successful, there will undoubtedly be a few more home equity loans for some of those lenders.
