Industry experts: Tilapia market has room to grow
January 23, 2020 — Few low-price finfish species have the ubiquitous recognition of tilapia.
The species, primarily farmed in Asia, has long been associated with inexpensive entry-level seafood, based on the low cost of production and the low price-ceiling for both buyers and consumers. A perennial staple for the seafood industry, the species has seen relatively flat pricing coupled with a rising supply in recent years.

China's tilapia exporters holding onto US sales with price cuts
December 2, 2019 — Exporters in China's key tilapia producing region of Hainan have been able to hold onto their sales to the United States despite ramped-up tariffs now reaching upwards of 25 percent, according to Alno Wu, head of overseas sales at Hainan Sky-Blue Ocean Foods Co (SBO).
Wu said firms like his, a vertically integrated firm processing tilapia in Hainan Province, are doing so thanks to lower prices, which they have been able to offer due to a surge in production across the province. Projections of stricter enforcement of environmental regulations leading to lower production have not come to pass, as thus far, Hainan has gotten greater leeway in implementation than other regions, according to Wu.
Groups praise updated US government seafood guidance
July 9, 2019 — U.S. seafood groups are lauding an updated government guidance that encourages pregnant and breastfeeding women and children to eat more seafood.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is updating its 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, released in 2017, which recommends that Americans eat at least eight ounces of seafood per week, based on a 2,000-calorie diet. While FDA did not increase the amount of seafood adults should eat, it is emphasizing the nutritional benefits – particularly to pregnant and breastfeeding women as well as children – of eating at least eight ounces of seafood weekly.
The agency also aims to help consumers who should limit their exposure to mercury choose from the many types of fish that are lower in mercury – "including ones commonly found in grocery stores, such as salmon, shrimp, pollock, canned light tuna, tilapia, catfish and cod," the FDA said in a press release.
However, "it is important to note that women who might become pregnant, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding – along with young children – should avoid the few types of commercial fish with the highest levels of mercury listed on the chart," FDA said.
FDA study finds "forever chemicals" in grocery-store seafood
June 4, 2019 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has released the results of a wide-scale study investigating the presence of so-called "forever chemicals" in U.S. supermarket food.
The FDA found levels of per- and polyfluoroalykyl (PFAs) and other fluorocarbon resins – which are grease-proofing agents used in non-stick cookware, fast food wrappers, microwave popcorn bags and numerous other foodservice and food retail applications in many foods, including seafood – in market basket sampling done at grocery stores and supermarkets in three undisclosed U.S. cities in the mid-Atlantic region.
The FDA found PFAs at levels ranging from 134 parts per trillion to 865 parts per trillion in tilapia, cod, salmon, shrimp, and catfish, as well as numerous meat products, according to an FDA presentation at the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry in late May, the Associated Press reported.
FDA spokesperson Tara Rabin told the AP that her agency rated PFAs as "not likely to be a human health concern," but the levels of chemical contamination found in the seafood tested were more than double the FDA's recommended 70-parts-per-trillion limit for safe drinking water.
It's Time to Be Honest about Seafood
May 28, 2019 — Demand for seafood is increasing across the globe, and the United States is no exception. Aquaculture, or aquatic farming, is increasingly meeting this demand and now supplies just over 50 percent of all seafood globally. In fact, it has been one of the world's fastest growing food sectors for years.
The U.S. is the largest importer of seafood in the world, and some of Americans' favorites—including shrimp, salmon and tilapia—are predominantly farmed these days. Yet, we contribute less than 1 percent of the world's total aquaculture production. This means we rely heavily on other countries to satisfy our appetites for seafood.
If the U.S. does not increase its domestic production of farmed shellfish, seaweed and finfish, the divergence between what we consume and what we contribute to the global seafood market will continue to widen. This gap may make it harder for our seafood diets to be sustainable. It also means the U.S. won't have a hand in shaping the standards or economies that contribute to the seafood sector as a whole in the future.
A brand-new bill that proposes a moratorium on commercial permits for marine finfish aquaculture facilities in U.S. waters could serve to widen this gap, and it represents another divergence: between public wariness about domestic aquaculture operations and the science showing aquaculture's potential for sustainable growth.
While wild-caught fisheries have hit "peak fish" domestically and globally, with limited potential for additional sustainable growth, there is mounting scientific evidence that the U.S. could dramatically increase domestic aquaculture production and do so sustainably, as we did with our fisheriesbefore they peaked. And this growth does not have to come at the cost of our wild-caught fisheries or other priorities for our oceans, especially under careful management and planning.

Tilapia, a fish to feed the world, and the deadly virus that may destroy it
May 6, 2019 — A small African fish called the tilapia may be vital for meeting the future food needs of humanity, according to scientists, but they are also concerned that a killer disease discovered in recent years could wipe out the species. That, they warn, would have devastating social and economic consequences for China and the rest of the Asia-Pacific region.
Although its name may not be widely known, the freshwater tilapia is second only to carp as the world's most widely farmed fish, and China is the largest producer. With global production of farmed tilapia reaching 6.3 million tonnes in 2018 and an estimated market value of US$9.8 billion, the little fish is big business. That's because it is an essential source of protein, revenue and employment in the developing world.
An advantage of farming tilapia was once its resistance to disease, which is a constant problem in intensive fish farming. But a new virus has caught the industry off guard. Tilapia lake virus, or Tilapia tilapinevirus, was identified in 2014.
Scientists know little more about it, except that it has a morbidity rate of up to 90 per cent, depending on the strain, and is highly contagious. The first indication of the virus on a fish farm is lots of dead tilapia.

Record year for China M&A sees little investment in seafood deals
April 1, 2019 — Seafood seems to be way down the list of sectors attracting investors in China, as agriculture and fisheries investments accounted for just 1 percent of the USD 377 billion (EUR 335.5 billion) invested in 1,866 deals monitored by leading international mergers and acquisitions watchers Mergermarket and Merrill DatasiteOne.
Industries and chemicals accounted for 19 percent of deals in value and 24 percent in volume, topping the list of categories for deals in 2018 in a new ranking compiled by the two financial firms. The technology, media, and telecommunications [TMT] category accounted for 19 percent of value and 10 percent of volume, followed by financial services, with 13 percent and 7 percent, respectively.
Despite the U.S.-China trade war, foreign investors accounted for a record USD 49.1 billion (EUR 43.7 billion) – up 51 percent on 2017 – or 13 percent of the deals done, with nearly half that cash coming from the United States. Foreign investors appeared to be cheered by China's pledge to lower restrictions on foreign investment into various sectors, a pledge necessitated in part by the gradual slowdown of China's economic growth.
Taking the sea out of seafood
March 15, 2019 — Land-based aquaculture can sound like a mirage — shrimp farms in the desert, salmon swimming "upstream" in an alpine village tank, tilapia swishing over the plains. And for a long time, ample production of sea delicacies in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) has been more dream than reality. Yet the technology and its innovators steadily have gained momentum and finally may be hitting their tipping point.
The allure of fish grown on land is easy to understand: Like all aquaculture, it reduces demand for wild fish, but unlike with sea-based pens, closed-loop RAS farms (PDF) run no risk of fish escaping to dilute the native gene pool, spread diseases or discharge waste and antibiotics into the wild. RAS farmers have near-full control over growing conditions, so they can optimize for growth and quality. And with its amenability to unlikely locations, RAS can sit near major consumer markets, providing fresh local seafood even when the shore is hundreds of miles away.
So why aren't we eating it already? RAS entrepreneurs face three big challenges: energy; contamination risks; and money. Mimicking a natural system within strictly regulated parameters is an energy-intensive endeavor, and sustainability (not to mention costs) demands locating RAS facilities next to cheap, abundant energy sources. A pathogen let loose in a closed system can be a disaster, so RAS farmers have to be extra scrupulous about avoiding contamination.
Money may be the biggest hurdle: RAS operations need high volumes and relatively long ramp-ups to reach profitability, and the pile of patient capital needed to build and grow large, high-tech facilities can be as elusive as Moby Dick.

Seafood mislabeling common across North American supply chains, study finds
February 7, 2019 — New research completed at the University of Guelph in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, has found mislabeing is prevalent throughout the supply chain.
Researchers found that 32 percent of fish overall were mislabeled. The highest rate of mislabeling was at retailers (38.1 percent), followed by processing plants (27.3 percent) and importers (17.6 percent).
Conducted in collaboration with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), the study was published in the journal Food Research International.
"We've been doing seafood fraud studies for a decade," Robert Hanner, the lead author of the study and associate professor at the University of Guelph, said in a press release. "We know there are problems. But this is the first study to move beyond that and look at where the problems are happening throughout the food supply chain."
"If you can see the name is changing across the supply system, that's a red flag," Hanner told SeafoodSource.
Hanner said he could not definitively prove whether some of the mislabeling is intentional, but found a "pretty significant price differential" in certain substitutions, such as farmed salmon labeled as wild salmon, tilapia labeled as red snapper, and basa labeled as haddock and cod.
While global tilapia production increases, US imports fall
February 4, 2019 — Tilapia production globally has steadily increased over the past decade – with 2018 production estimated at nearly 6.3 million metric tons (MT) – yet U.S. imports were forecast to likely be at their lowest level in several years.
The data, shared at the Value Finfish panel during the 2019 Global Seafood Market Conference in Coronado, California earlier this month, estimates that the U.S. imported around 300,000 MT of tilapia in 2018. That's significantly lower than the 500,000 MT high in 2012.
"Through October, through 2014, things have been on a pretty steady decline," Todd Clark of Endeavor Seafood said.
The declines are clear in U.S. broadline sales, with virtually every commercial category having a steady three-year decline in sales. Commercial medium chains, representing chains with between 100 and 249 units, fell the most with a 46 percent drop in sales. Non-commercial restaurants, which make up the largest share of tilapia purchasing at over 14 million pounds, dropped six percent.
"Each one of those categories has been on a steady decline," Clark said.

Prison visiting has long played rehabilitative role
A newspaper illustration of visiting at San Quentin, published in the San Francisco Call, Jan. 21, 1900.
Prison visiting has been an important part of rehabilitation for more than a century, maintaining family connections while incarcerated. The experience for friends and family has evolved since the early days of the California prison system. Around 1900, incarcerated individuals were allowed 15 minutes once per month.
Even so, prison management recognized the importance of trying to make the experience positive. This installment of Unlocking History captures the essence of visiting at a time before automobiles, airplanes and paved highways.
Variety of visitors at San Quentin
In 1900, a reporter from the San Francisco Call was allowed in the visiting area. The reporter documented how the prison handled the overall experience for the families. The newspaper described a variety of people who visited inmates such as religious advisers, friends, siblings, mothers, fathers and spouses.
The reporter took a horse-drawn long wagon from the train to the prison. Other riders included visitors and a Salvation Army volunteer.
San Quentin Warden Martin Aguirre.
Tempers could flare between inmates and visitors, such as this married couple as illustrated in the San Francisco Call published Jan. 21, 1900.
Red tape, railing and nets
"Arriving at the prison, the vastness, the stillness and the 'red tape' of everything made me feel as if I had come to a funeral. In the reception room, every one sat around looking solemn and talking in an undertone.
"Adjoining the reception room is a large apartment divided in the center by a wooden railing about three feet high. To both sides of this railing is fastened a closely woven netting, which extends to the ceiling.
"Behind (this) double screen, (incarcerated people) are placed. Here, for 15 short minutes, they talk across three inches of wire-enclosed space.
"I subsided rather uneasily into a corner, feeling I was intruding on emotions to which I was a stranger. But these people were absorbed in their own affairs and despairingly indifferent to all else," according to the newspaper.
"The prisoners of San Quentin are permitted to see their friends only once every month. (Therefore) it is not surprising that long pent-up grief (expresses itself through) bitter tears," the article stated.
Prison visiting staff described as 'genial'
"Even the tall genial guard, whose long years of service have made him familiar with such scenes, has to speak harshly sometimes to clear away a (lump) in his throat."
The warden ensures there is music and a printed program.
"As the door opened and closed to admit the visitors, the blare of brass instruments danced into the room. … I went in search of the band. (Finding them, they were) clad in new, trim uniforms, plentifully sprinkled with brass buttons. The 'Ess Que Bee' were standing in a circle, cutting the cold air into harmonious slices.
"Warden Aguirre believes 'music hath charms to soothe' and since the convict band was organized, he has had ample opportunity to note its efficacy for good. The interest prisoners take in the band is marvelous. When a man, criminal or otherwise, has something good to think about, there is that much less room in his mind for mischief."
Making the prison visiting experience special
"On visiting days a special program is printed, and Becker, the notorious forger, devotes all his inventive genius to making the tiny, folded square as artistic as possible. At 2 o'clock, the visiting hours are over. The clank of the iron doors reverberates and echoes down the long corridors and the prisoners go back to the daily treadmill of convict life, nursing in their hearts the little sunshine that may have filtered in through the gloomy, mysterious looking 'screen.'"

Suicide is one of the most prolific killers in the UK and world. At the same time there is an immense and resounding silence. Those bereaved are reluctant to talk about it
August 3, 2015 Health9, Albums, Anna Christian, Clarke, CLARKE CARLISLE, Human activities, Human Interest, Internet culture, Michael Mansfield, MICHAEL MANSFIELD QC, Project Chanology, ROBERT RINDER, ROYAL LEAMINGTON SPA, Social change, Social Issues, Sociology, United Kingdom, YVETTE GREENWAYsmbale
An emotionally charged discourse on Suicide and the stigma surrounding it with public figure input and general public participation featuring tragic & harrowing real life stories from those who've attempted suicide, those who've survived and the bereaved. Organised & promoted by Michael Mansfield QC and Anna Christian Events.
SHOWS: ROYAL LEAMINGTON SPA, ENGLAND, UK (ANNA CHRISTIAN EVENTS) – MICHAEL MANSFIELD QC WITH ANNA CHRISTIAN EVENTS DELIVER GROUND BREAKING & UNIQUE EVENT . SOS – SILENCE OF SUICIDE
YVETTE GREENWAY,
"This absolutely unique and groundbreaking event, SOS – Silence of Suicide, which was, well is, the brainchild of Mr Mansfield and er, unfortunately he lost his daughter Anna to suicide not very long ago at all and I know from the emails we've received that so many of you are in the same position and for a lot of you you've actually maybe attempted suicide yourself and the aim tonight is to get people to talk, to remove the stigma, so that people realise it's ok, it's ok to talk"
MICHAEL MANSFIELD QC,
"Well when it started, it started because of my daughter who committed suicide almost 3 months ago now and then I discovered when talking about it that people were cautious to the extent of being silent, that they had sat on all these feelings and for me, slowly to open up to other people and they'd do the same to me and then find actually there's a ground swell of people out there"
"It constantly crops up. Fortunately for us, Clarke failed (BACK TO CLOSE SHOT OF YVETTE GREENWAY CONTINUING) in his suicide attempts and I think it's going to be really useful, I hope it's going to be really useful for all of you here today to try and understand, if you're bereaved, maybe what was going on in the minds of the people you've lost"
CLARKE CARLISLE,
"You know, there's just a distinct lack of understanding and there's little appetite to get into this conversation because people feel awkward about it, you know, people feel a real sense of discomfort about it and we need to break that down, because if we don't make people feel comfortable about talking about these issues, then how are we going to be able to comfort the sufferer when they're on the walk that can potentially lead to suicide"
" It would definitely be that people feel like they've been given permission to open up about not only how they feel, but to engage with someone else without that being accusatory or judgemental, just the freedom to discuss your state of mind, your mental well being just as easily as we discuss the weather outside"
"Now I feel today that I'm as free to talk about suicide and depression, another dirty word, as I am to talk about the weather outside and that's because er, I've dealt, I've dealt with the shame and guilt, there's no shame and guilt involved with depression and with mental ill health as long as you're willing to acknowledge it as such. You know, the shame and the embarrassment and the guilt comes when you're still connected to that thought that you have an element of control over it, that it's something that you should do something about, or as someone who is married to, a child of, a parent of someone with, someone suffering from mental ill health, you still have that ownership, that there is an element of it that you control, you've done something wrong and that's why my son, my daughter, my, my husband, my wife, is depressed – it's not, it's an illness.
ROBERT RINDER,
"It's only by talking about suicide, it's only by talking by mental health that we start, um, finding a way of finding a remedy and um, it's one of the last ever meaningful health taboos"
ROBER RINDER,
"For us to start having a louder conversation about it, you know, um, everybody knows the numbers but seemingly nobody wants to talk about it, it's the largest, one of the largest killers of young men especially, yet nobody talks about it. Um, it's a postcode lottery like other health issues"
ANONYMOUS MALE SPEAKER,
"The GP didn't understand that you can be relatively successful and still have an amazing sickness"
"So this is a process of turning up the volume it seems to me on an issue which has been too quiet for too long"
ANONYMOUS FEMALE AUDIENCE SPEAKER,
"Sometimes, when so many things are happening, and I feel really, really, hurt, I'm not able to process the pain and the only way that I think that I can, it's not even thinking, it's just being driven, a compulsion, to ram my head against the wall or just think of what would happen if I stood in front of a train"
FEMALE AUDIENCE SPEAKER,
"She was beautiful, quirky, funny and we miss her desperately. I haven't had a voice. There's no-one to listen. I just hope we can move on and I don't know what else to say"
ANONYMOUS MALE AUDIENCE SPEAKER,
" I'm not quite sure what I want to say, um short of thanking Clarke and Michael and all the others for their contribution. Um, but I sat there saying, thinking to myself, er, we're coming up to ten o'clock, wouldn't it be a shame if we all walked out out
"of here and this is the end of this. At the age of eight years old, and having two younger brothers, seven thirty one morning, I heard my father singing. And the song that he sang was God be with you till we meet again. As I say that, I can feel some of the tears welling up in me. Sixty years ago. The evening, later in the evening, my father was found dead, he had poisoned himself . No indication about why and the trauma of an eight year old facing this, trying to put the pieces together, the why. First and foremost some, some of you have reflected that question. What did I do or what could I have done to actually avoid that?
"I also want to thank Clarke because that was a real insight to possibly what my son was going through and that was just amazing, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. But what I really wanted to say, is from personal experience, I found that, um, that the whole subject of suicide is so taboo"
ANONYMOUS PERSON,
"I think the outcome will be that people will leave the evening having had a meaningful experience"
"There are two aims I want to achieve tonight, one is that people go away feeling they have listened and learned from other people with similar feelings and that in fact they"d like to, as it were, not necessarily create an institution, but create a network, so that they can come together again, not online, but come together in a place and exchange these feelings again and begin to build a body of knowledge and experience which will help people, either people who are contemplating suicide or who have tried suicide or are the relatives of people who have. That's the real objective"
"The real benefit of last night was that the BBC themselves were overwhelmed by the number of people who were tweeting"
"But we're also grateful to actually the hundreds of people who responded, who couldn't make it tonight, but have responded by telephone, by email over the past weeks and remarkably over the last twenty four hours, because as some of you may know, the BBC very kindly invited me on last night to Newsnight to talk about it"

Miller earlier said that the documents attached to the letter Hodge sent did not prove that his clients were ever told that using the cards for professional services, such as attorney feeds, was against city regulations and could result in the cards being revoked. One of four sheets in Hodge's letter included had the elected officials' signatures, but it said nothing about professional services. One of the other sheets contained more detailed regulations, such as the professional services prohibition, but it was not signed. Miller said there is no proof that the sheets were included in the original email and that they could have been added later to bolster the city's case.
Documents obtained Wednesday through an Open Records request indicate that all of the sheets were included as attachments in emails sent to all city card holders in 2013 and 2014.
Miller and Christopher Balch, co-counsel for Countryman and Bishop, released a written statement concerning the emails to their clients.
"Judge Hilton Fuller, who has now been assigned to hear our Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order, has scheduled a hearing for Monday, Nov. 24," the statement reads. "As the subject matter of our motion includes issues involving the credit cards it would be inappropriate for us, or any lawyer, to comment further at this time. We do, however, stand by our previous statements and look forward to having a judge resolve these issues."Hodge said that all of the documents attached to the emails were sent to every city cardholder, including Countryman and Bishop, and that their credit card privileges remain suspended.
City Attorney Clifton Fay said that to his knowledge neither Countryman nor Bishop has repaid any of the money nor submitted a plan to repay the money, as they were directed to do in the letter.
Fay said he expected a judge to hear Miller's motion for a temporary restraining order soon.
Because Muscogee County judges also are subject to city budget restrictions, an outside judge had to be appointed to hear the civil suits, including the motion for a restraining order.
Joe Baden, court administrator for the 3rd Congressional District that includes Columbus, confirmed that District Administrative Judge Edward Lukemire has appointed Stone Mountain Superior Court Judge Hilton Fuller to preside. The hearing on the motion for a restraining order has been tentatively set for Monday at 10 a.m.

Q: Repeating the question if user input is empty in C# I'm having a basic problem with my school code here. The code needs to ask user input as a console program, but I need it to repeat the question when entered an empty field before proceeding. So far I've tried a lot of while-loops, !isStringNullorEmpty, string.lengths, tried to create a function that checks it and some if-statements. I can't get it to work on either one of these. The program proceeds to the end all of the time.
System.Console.Write("Give first name");
String firstname = System.Console.ReadLine();

System.Console.Write("Give last name");
String lastname = System.Console.ReadLine();

System.Console.Write("Give date of birth");
DateTime = dt = DateTime.Parse(System.Console.ReadLine();

A: You could try
string firstName = null;
Console.WriteLine("Give first name");
while(string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(firstName = Console.ReadLine()))
  Console.WriteLine("OMG you had one job as a user of this application, to put in the right value!");

You can do the same for DateTime
Console.Write("Give date of birth");
while (!DateTime.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(),out var dob))
    Console.Write("OMG you had one job as a user of this application, to put in the right value!");

Centennial College turns 50 years young this month! We've had a long, colourful history, and we've been celebrating it with a number of different events across all of our campuses. Becoming a student here means becoming part of a vibrant international community. It's important that you know what kind of community you're joining, so here's the first half of 50 facts about our history, connections, buildings and people.
1. We call ourselves "Ontario's First College" for a reason. We're the oldest publicly-funded college in Ontario.
2. We are a diverse college. Almost 100 ethno-cultural groups are represented on our campus, and 80 languages are spoken.
3. Centennial College operates the country's largest transportation training facility, with more than $30 million worth of aircraft, vehicles and equipment onsite.
4. We were here first, so we're the first Ontario college to hit the 50-year mark, which we celebrated with a series of special events, including Paint the Town Green, an ambitious campaign that saw the college close for one day to enable thousands of students, faculty and staff to fan out across the city and lend a hand with community initiatives, such as planting trees, rejuvenating community resources, and cleaning beaches, among many other volunteer tasks.
5. Since our very first convocation in the 1967, some 2,000,000 learners have graduated from the Ontario college system.
6. The TV show Degrassi High was filmed at the Story Arts Centre in 1989, before the East York Campus was renovated.
7. Several other movies were filmed at our campuses, including the 2014 Robocop remake, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Man of the Year with the late Robin Williams, and an American Pie film.
8. When Resident Evil: Apocalypse was filmed in 2003 at our old Warden Woods campus, it made use of our Hospitality Management Centre kitchen, dining room and gymnasium. A wood and styrofoam duplicate of that kitchen was then created, just so it could be blown up at the end of the scene!
9. The late comedic actor John Candy is counted among the college's distinguished former students.
10. Ernie Coombs, better known as CBC Television's Mr. Dressup, had a personal connection to Centennial's groundbreaking Early Childhood Education program (ECE). His wife, Lynn, was a member of the program's advisory board, and her own child care centre in Scarborough provided Centennial students with rewarding field placements. Their daughter, Catherine, graduated from the Early Childhood Assistant program in 1984.
11. Today, students can receive the Lynn Coombs Memorial Award, a Centennial College scholarship given to a student of the full- or part-time ECE programs each year.
12. In November 1966, Centennial College's students marched on Queen's Park for the first time. They weren't there to protest, though. Instead, they came to thank Ontario Education Minister William Davis for opening Centennial College.
13. With the Cold War still on, Centennial College participated in a groundbreaking show of peace in 1973 when a group of Russian students arrived for a formal visit.
14. Sometimes, we've directly helped with a bad economic situation, like when General Motors announced it would close its massive van assembly plant near Ashtonbee Campus and lay off 2,700 workers. We stepped in and teamed up with GM and the Canadian Auto Workers Union to help GM Canada employees land on their feet and develop new career skills, with something called the "labour adjustment" initiative. 257 GM employees enrolled in part-time courses at our Ashtonbee campus in 1992 as a result, with more to follow.
15. Our current method of teaching, established in 2008, is called the Signature Learning Experience. It sets us apart from other post-secondary institutions in the GTA, because it builds your understanding of diversity, equity and social justice issue and gives you the cultural competency to prepare you for a changing global environment and workplace.
16. The SLE also led to the creation of Centennial's Global Citizenship and Equity Learning Experiences (GCELEs), to give students the opportunity to travel overseas and broaden their horizons on global social issues.
17. Speaking of global social issues, Centennial was the second postsecondary institution in Canada to join the United Nations Scholars at Risk Network, which supports international scholars whose work is threatened by displacement, discrimination, censorship and harassment, by allowing them to continue their work in a safe learning environment in Canada.
18. We don't just bring in diverse students. We take our education to the global stage. In 2006, we partnered with schools in mainland China, India and elsewhere to make the Canadian college experience readily accessible to international visa students.
19. Noticed the unique street lamps around Progress Campus? They actually rely on a combination of wind and solar power, and stay totally off the electrical grid. They were created when Clear Blue Technologies partnered with Centennial's Energy Institute faculty and students to develop small, renewable energy systems.
20. We're a green school for a reason. In 2011, we opened the new Library and Academic Facility at Progress Campus, taking a big step towards reducingits carbon footprint. In addition to providing a much-needed new library to facilitate students researching and studying, the LEED Gold-certified building is an on-site teaching tool for the School of Engineering Technology and Applied Science. The new addition also provided 22 classrooms, a large lecture theatre, an art gallery and more communal space for the benefit of students.
21. The building also contains a four-storey Living Wall biofilter (a.k.a that giant wall of plants) that purifies and humidifies indoor air to create a healthier and more comfortable indoor environment, as well as minimize heating and cooling costs.
22. A popular annual event at our School of Community and Health Studies is our disaster simulation, which tests the skills our emergency and health care students with a new scenario every year. Our first one took place in 2005, and involved Toronto's HUSAR (Heavy Urban Search and Rescue) team. Here's the details from our most recent disaster simulation event.
23. Every winter for a few years now, Centennial's Environmental Student Society has been creating an outdoor natural ice rink in Morningside Park, just south of Morningside Campus, with the support of the CCSAI, City of Toronto, Princess Auto and the local Home Depot store. International students are invited to try ice skating for the first time, with 50 pairs of skates available for loan.
24. Before our current residence at Progress Campus opened, students used to live in a hotel! We purchased the Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel Toronto across the street in 2001 to serve as our residence, before building a new one. It even had an indoor pool!
25. Our current Student Centre at Progress Campus opened in November of 2000. It's owned and operated by the Centennial College Student Association Inc. It even picked up an award for architecture in 2002!
26. The name "Centennial" comes from the fact that the school was named in anticipation of Canada's Centennial year, 1967.
27. The college opened barely one year after the community college system was created by the Ministry of Education in 1965. At first, people weren't even sure the school would be ready to open on time.
28. The college campus itself was established, renovated and opened in four months and 12 days, on October 17, 1966.
29. Warden Woods campus, our first site, began its life as a military factory, the radar division of Canadian Arsenals Ltd.
30. That first year at Centennial College, tuition for our most expensive courses was $190, plus a $10 activity fee.
31. During our first year at Warden Woods, some lectures had to be held in the cafeteria, since the lecture hall wasn't even complete.
32. Our early faculty had to do multiple jobs, including Journalism teachers acting as student councillors, Architecture profs drawing up plans for a new dining hall, and an Electronics instructor doing some of the schools' electrical repairs.
33. Construction at Warden Woods was still ongoing during the first six months of operation, and teachers had to contend with the sounds of "power saws and jackhammers" and the lights periodically going out.
34. Also unfinished that first year: Our library, which opened with barely 1,000 available books. We even approached other schools to loan us parts of their collection!
35. A long time before the Observer existed, Centennial's first student newspaper was called the Arsenal, established on March 22, 1967. The issues of the day? "Dope, sexual permissiveness, and making love, not war." The community-oriented Observer would be established in March of 1972.
36. Our first graduating class consisted of only 14 students, since one of our early programs, Secretarial Science, was only eight months long.
37. Even in the beginning, we were dedicated to making career connections. Every one of those of the 14 graduates had at least one job offer by the time they graduated.
38. Our first orientation, held in the College's second year, featured a school dance that students could get into for 25 cents per person, or 35 cents for a couple. How the times have changed!
39. Our first athletic activities were in 1967, when we'd rent out high school gyms for volleyball and basketball. Fortunately, we began building a gym later that year.
40. Our first Alumni Homecoming happened on our tenth anniversary, in 1976.
41. Our first campus radio station was called CKCC, and it operated our of a professional studio at Warden Woods Campus.
42. By 1984, desktop computers were becoming commonplace on Centennial's campuses, and JANET-Micronet labs allowed students access to networked IBM computers. The college purchased an IBM 4381 mainframe computer in 1985 at a cost of more than $600,000 to run these networks, at a time when tape drives were still the preferred means of data storage.
43. Our current president, Ann Buller, is the sixth one in the College's history, and assumed the role in 2004, though she first worked for us all the way back in 1989, when she made high school visits to talk about Centennial College.
45. Our third major campus, Progress, opened in 1977, and our fourth, East York, in 1979.
46. Before the current School of Hospitality building opened, our original Hospitality Management Centre opened in 1985. Like our current one, it featured a fully licensed restaurant, open for the public to enjoy, and for students to learn in.
47. Our Centre of Entrepreneurship first opened in 1988, thanks to a boom in small business in the 1980's. We were the only college to receive its own centre without a university partner. The Centre of Entrepreneurship remains in operation to this day, serving small businesses throughout the GTA.
48. We finally bid farewell to our original Warden Woods campus in 2004, with a humungous barbecue and party. The property was sold to a townhouse developer.
49. We just opened our new Residence and Culinary Arts Centre at Progress Campus this year, an eight storey building that houses students, and is the home of the School of Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary Arts, complete with seven kitchen labs, eight new classrooms, a teaching restaurant and a conference and events centre located on the top floor.
50. In 2018, Centennial College will open a new campus focused on aviation, aerospace training and research at the former de Havilland aircraft manufacturing site at Downsview Park.

POM Wonderful sent me a box of pomegranates. It's pomegranate season and I have been enjoying making different recipes that incorporate pomegranates.
The holiday season is here and I welcomed it with open arms with this festive loaf.
This bread is definitely different with nutty taste of pistachios, the unique tartness of the pomegranate and the familiar scent of banana.
2. Grease one 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan.
See step by step pictures below on how to open a pomegranate.
4. In a large bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl stir together bananas, oil, milk and egg; stir into flour mixture with arils and the chopped pistachios just until moistened; do not over-mix.
5. Spoon batter into prepared pan. If desired, sprinkle a few whole shelled pistachios and a few additional arils over the batter for garnish.
6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes; remove loaf from pan and cool on wire rack. Store bread tightly covered; or wrap tightly in foil and freeze for up to 1 month.
(Optional – I brushed homemade pomegranate jelly on top for additional glaze).
My homemade POM Crimson Jelly.
This loaf is thick but moist. It's not very sweet (you can add more sugar if you like a sweeter bread).
The additional toppings of red pomegranate and green pistachios looks a lot like Christmas.
Taste great paired with your morning coffee or afternoon tea.
Store until ready to serve.
Do you have a traditional bread or dessert that you prepare during the holidays? I usually make brownies and cookies, but now that I have this recipe, this will definitely make it in my baking rotation.
This recipe makes me giddy. Pomegranates AND pistachios? YUM. A must-try.
Hollie, if you don't want to make it in bread form, you can also do muffins too. That's what I'm going to do next time when I'm planning to give it away as gift baskets.
Just lessen the cooking time and watch it carefully towards the end of the cooking time.
I've never seen or heard of bread like this, it makes me really curious about the flavor.
And no, I haven't changed my name to Food Loving Polar EAR 😀 sorry for the typo!
Anne, your comment made me laugh out loud this morning, thanks!
i love how colorful that bread is!!
How fabulous are you? That bread is a beauty!
I am, I am…j/k 🙂 It seems like we both have been on a baking kick lately, ha ha ha!
This bread looks crazy good! I wish I wasn't allergic to pistachio!
Karin, you would have loved it because of the banana. I'm sorry you're allergic to pistachios, you can substitute with almonds?
Hi Jackie, festive is the right word to describe it.
That whole loaf looks like christmas!
Yup, it was so pretty as a whole loaf, I took my time cutting it into pieces.
This bread is gorgeous! You made such great changes to the recipe – that's pretty much what I would have done. I bet this would make unique french toast.
Coming to you via Baking is Hot. What a great presentation. I have some frozen red currants from the summer in the freezer. I might have to try this recipe with those.
Just when I thought I have had it with bananas. It just got interesting again. Thanks.
I am definitely going to try baking this tomorrow – I will post it on my blog (www.moreoatsplease.com) & tag you. I don't have pomegranate on hand, so I'm thinking about using cherries and whipping up something that way. This is the first time I've been to your blog and it's awesome!!!

2 critically injured in east side apartment fire
Posted 10:34 PM, November 2, 2019, by FOX59 Web, Updated at 11:01PM, November 2, 2019
A fire on Indy's east side leaves two in critical condition.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Two people have been critically injured in a fire on Indy's east side.
According to the Indianapolis Fire Department, the fire occurred shortly before 9 p.m. at an apartment complex located in the 9800 block of E. 25th Street, not far from the intersection of E. 25th Street and Mitthoeffer Road.
Authorities say multiple 911 calls prompted firefighters to the scene where a single story apartment complex was reportedly under heavy fire when fire crews arrived.
Upon arrival, firefighters found two adult men outside the apartment complex in critical condition, according to Battalion Chief Rita Reith of the Indianapolis Fire Department. The men were transported to Eskenazi Hospital.
The fire was put out in roughly 30 minutes, Reith said, but it is not clear at this time what started the fire.
"We really don't know what was actually happening inside… before the fire broke out," said Reith.
A female occupant of the apartment complex was also injured trying to break a window to get into the two injured men's apartment, Reith said, but her injury was just a minor cut to the hand.
Four people have been displaced due to the fire, according to the fire department.
Fire investigators were at the scene and are beginning their investigation to try and determine a cause to the fire.

Chopova Lowena and the reality of owning a brand
Emma Chopova and Laura Lowena sit with their former intern Alexandra Armata and talk frankly about the realities of owning a business
Interview Alexadra Armata
Words Natassa Stamouli
For many aspiring designers, a fashion brand with stockists, orders, and press recognition comprises a life goal. What else would you want if you manage to get to a point where people are wearing your clothes? Chopova Lowena is in this "dream" space: They graduated from CSM, set up their brand right away, and followed their own steady path to running a sustainable business without compromising their artistic ethos, not even a bit. In an industry where designers have to change their work to fit into what consumers want, Chopova Lowena created a product that made consumers change their wants.
Suddenly the whole industry started wearing long pleated skirts that hang with hiking hooks from their belts and online stockists started selling out of dresses with puffy sleeves and Bulgarian vintage charms. Their process every season is unique and specific: Combining Bulgarian folklore references with sports is the starting point for every collection. It all seems effortless and fun, two best friends doing exactly what they want and being their own boss, but the reality is that running your own business in fashion is hard to a point that design might even come second after administrative tasks and housekeeping.
How do the two designers deal with orders, factories, and showrooms? What are the biggest challenges and what helped them when they felt like giving up? Emma and Laura's former intern and recent CSM MA graduate designer Alexandra Armata sat down with the duo and they answered all her questions about what it really means to be an emerging designer in London.
Laura Lowena and Ida
Alexandra Armata: Can you take me through what you do on a day to day basis? And in which stage of the collection are you at?
EMMA CHOPOVA: We are just about to start production and getting all of our orders in. So we are at the production stage. I'm thinking about the next season too.
AA: Oh, yeah. Have you started designing for the next season?
EC: No, no!
Laura Lowena: We've been looking at fabrics.
AA: I remember there was one season when I was here at the studio, the show hadn't even finished and you guys were already sure about where the next season was going to go…
EC: But that's only because we had nothing to do. Right now, we're producing hundreds of pieces, across over hundred styles which we're producing almost all ourselves. There are lots of bits: gloves, socks, bags, so many skirts, necklaces. It takes a month just to get them all to the stores and under control. Ordering all the different things, all the different little bits. We use 500 kinds of charms and snaps and that takes a really long time.
LL: I had to source nearly 500 tea towels this season for one skirt style!
"You need someone that's always on top of the numbers otherwise the business doesn't function." – Laura Lowena
AA: Who comprises your team? Including the people that you employ in Bulgaria.
EC: Our team is me and Laura. Laura's Mum, who does our accounting. Laura's sister who works for us part-time to help Laura's mom with the bookkeeping. She will hopefully take a bigger role and overtake Laura's mum's job, we couldn't live without her. We also employ Vanya in Bulgaria, who handles our textile development and is sort of our production manager. My mom, who does sourcing for fabrics on a seasonal basis. Daniella, who's in charge of the atelier, does the distribution of the garments to the makers and puts all the textiles together. She employs, through subcontractors, the beaders, the jewellers, and the leather makers. This is the whole team.
AA: Your work is about reconnection with your heritage. You ended up employing so many people that you are related to, which really aligns with your brand. Was that a conscious decision?
EC: It was a conscious decision because, in the beginning, accountancy is very expensive. Laura's mom had been doing this for her whole life, she is extremely knowledgeable about how to own a small business in the UK, so we got really lucky. She started for free when it was less work. Then all of a sudden, it became pretty much a full-time job.
LL: She takes care of the cash flow, projections, figuring out finances, how many orders we can take on, the financial side of things that I and Emma just can't deal with at the same time as everything else. You need someone that's always on top of the numbers otherwise the business doesn't function.
"It's also really tempting, in the beginning, to take on all the orders. It seems like a lot of money, so you immediately want to say yes and you don't understand the fact that they don't just give you the money. " – Emma Chopova
AA: Can you explain how a showroom works?
EC: Showroom handles your sales and represents you to stores, like a middleman. It's really helpful, because having a brand that has a lot of followers and hype at the beginning, which is how a lot of brands grow now, but having no showroom or no actual sales strategy and targets is very dangerous. The showroom coming early into our business was really good because they actually made a plan for us. When you graduate, you don't know any stores, besides the basic ones: Dover Street, Selfridges, and Net A Porter. You don't know your 50 target stores in Italy, which has the most luxury stores in the world.
LL: You also don't understand things like terms and shipping. What do you do when someone doesn't pay? They know who would pay on time, who's trustworthy, they pitch you to people that they think you're good for. It's good and bad. It's really scary to sign a contract, especially when you're young. It always feels like you're signing yourself away. But you need to. I think a lot of us don't have that bigger business mindset. There is a point when you have to invest to grow. It is a really slippery slope. You need to know when to do it. When you know that it's 100% right for you, do it. It's really worth it because even though they take a commission, that makes you so much more visible and it massively increases your sales.
EC: Doing it on your own is possible. Some people do it really well. You need to have a lot of sales contacts and have a strategy for yourself.
LL: If you take on an order when you first start with someone that isn't going to pay on time, that can completely ruin your business. If you don't get paid on time, you're in debt, and then they can just cancel the order…
EC: It's also really tempting, in the beginning, to take on all the orders. It seems like a lot of money, so you immediately want to say yes and you don't understand the fact that they don't just give you the money. There's a lot of time in between when you need the money upfront to produce clothing. You need to be on good terms with the store so that they pay you the deposit so that you can pay for your factory.
LL: When we first got Matches [Fashion] we made all those skirts they ordered ourselves as we didn't even know how to find a factory at the beginning. We said yes to everything. Only then we realised how much work it was to make it all.
EC: We can't make them perfect on our own. I'm not a leather maker, I had to cut out the belts all with scissors. You can't just do that. But your first buyers understand that your product is still being developed. Buyers and customers know that sizing doesn't come in the first season. Perfection doesn't come in the first season, you need a business to do that.
LL: We're still figuring that stuff out.
"Getting feedback from buyers is so important. It really helps you develop the product. Having a fashion brand is a lot of business, design is a very small percentage." – Laura Lowena
AA: The more I watch you guys progress every season, the more I realise that the key thing is to start building a relationship with the buyers. It is almost as important as the product.
LL: Getting feedback from buyers is so important. It really helps you develop the product. Having a fashion brand is a lot of business, design is a very small percentage. We followed pretty much every primary technical advice, such as making the belts black and thinner. A 10-inch belt is a perfect size for you to be able to pee. [laughs] They're all 10 inches now.
AA: What is the hardest thing about running a brand today?
EC: Everyone's gonna say cash flow but I think the hardest thing is…
LL: Doing 100 jobs…
EC: Being incredibly overworked. It is also really difficult to know when to hire people. It needs to be the right person, but it takes a really long time for you to be able to pay them properly, so you end up not paying yourself properly. People management is also very hard. I deal with the Bulgarian team and it's a constant stream of communication, which I find really difficult.
LL: For me, the hardest thing is doing everything. But it's also the best thing, because you have control of your whole business.
AA: But I feel like there's creative problem-solving in dealing with factories and all that stuff. So even though you might not draw or sew, there's some creative problem solving going on when you're doing all the other stuff, which seems really exciting to me.
EC: It's always problem-solving.
AA: And a little bit of drama with the production facilities?
EC & LL: That's not fun!
"I don't want to be told that we should be making four collections a year when I don't need or want to." – Laura Lowena
AA: Have things changed because of the pandemic?
EC: The way we work has changed a little bit. I like things to be slower. When we were working from home, it wasn't as intense and as stressful, and you end up producing the same amount and quality of work. You just don't put that insane pressure on yourself to be here for 14 hours drawing the same thing over and over again.
LL: I agree. We never let ourselves have weekends or slow down in any way. It has taken us three years of extra time to realise that we can do what we do and have a more relaxed life.
AA: What would you change in the fashion system If you could? And what would you keep?
LL: I think how fast-paced everyone expects everyone to be. Some people make four collections a year, I don't know how we would do it. We make two. I don't want to be told that we should be making four collections a year when I don't need or want to.
EC: I hate that we are all meant to sample everything in a small size. We're sampling everything in a medium next season. We did most things in a medium this season too.
AA: If you could look back at the beginning is there any advice you would have given yourself or something you really wish you knew?
LL: Just do it. And keep doing it for as long as you can. The first half of the battle is staying in the game.
"It is not about being the best out of your class or whatever, the best of the show. It's about having a good product that's gonna sell." – Emma Chopova
AA: I remember you were saying this since I was here. That the key is longevity and just persevering.
EC: Yes, it is not about being the best out of your class or whatever, the best of the show. It's about having a good product that's gonna sell. I wish we could give advice to ourselves during our first year on the MA. We were putting so much pressure on ourselves, it was not fun.
LL: It wasn't healthy.
EC: It wasn't healthy! We were not good mental health-wise, we were just struggling. And it was all or nothing constantly. That feeling is crippling. We thought that we had to make something of it right then, and the fact that it didn't come right away felt like it was just the end of it.
LL: It is not going to happen instantly. But if you can figure out your life to keep doing it for as long as possible, then, I think, if you've got the good products, it does happen.
EC: I think a lot of the reason why we didn't burn out at the start was that we met Charlotte Wales. Charlotte gave us a reason to keep doing it. She gave us something to work towards [The Kukeri book]. We had Olya [Kuryshchuk, 1 Granary founder] and a few other people behind our back. But this gave us a project, this gave us something to work towards.
AA: Could you tell me the story behind the casting for the lookbook you released during lockdown?
LL: It was our five collaborators, our intern, and a model, so we had a bit of everything. I find it so annoying when you see lookbooks with models that are six-foot, really slim. You just don't connect to them. We wanted people to see that If you're tall or short, of whatever size, you can wear the clothes and you can enjoy it.
EC: Agata [Belcen] did such an amazing job styling it. They always look so real, like they're going somewhere and doing something.
AA: Since your first season, has your design process changed a lot?
LL: We have always had the traditional side and the sports side. The relationship between the two sides really inspires us still, and it makes the story of each collection.
EC: I still draw a lot and Laura still collages.
AA: When it is the two of you, do you divide the labour in specific ways or is every piece a collaboration?
LL & EC: Every piece is a collaboration.

The house that I am to build will be great, for our God is greater than all gods. But who is able to build him a house, since heaven, even highest heaven, cannot contain him? Who am I to build a house for him, except as a place to make offerings before him? So now send me a man skilled to work in gold, silver, bronze, and iron, and in purple, crimson, and blue fabrics, trained also in engraving, to be with the skilled workers who are with me in Judah and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.

Jacob lived in the land of his father's sojournings, in the land of Canaan. These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was pasturing the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought a bad report of them to their father. Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a robe of many colors. But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him. Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they hated him even more. ... Christian Art and Gifts

He made 300 shields of beaten gold, using three hundred shekels of gold on each shield, and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold. There were six steps to the throne and a footstool in gold attached to the throne, and arms on each side of the seat, and two lions standing beside the arms. Twelve lions were standing there on the six steps on the one side and on the other; nothing like it was made for any other kingdom. All King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; silver was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon.
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

You shall speak to all the skillful, whom I have filled with a spirit of skill, that they make Aaron's garments to consecrate him for my priesthood. These are the garments that they shall make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a coat of checker work, a turban, and a sash.

This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created. When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters. Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died. ... Scripture Image
Solomon the son of David established himself in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him and made him exceedingly great. Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to all the leaders in all Israel, the heads of fathers' houses. And Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon, for the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of the Lord had made in the wilderness, was there. (But David had brought up the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place that David had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.) Moreover, the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord. And Solomon and the assembly sought it out. ... Scripture Image

Q: git svn wont rebase anymore after svn repo renaming I recently renamed my svn repository with which I was working via git-svn. I thought if I rename the folder in which my git project is living and update the git config where it says url = svn://foo/bar to the new name it would just work, but instead I get following error:
Unable to determine upstream SVN information from working tree history
What is left to do, to get it working again??

A: the name of the SVN repository is part of the git svn id (and thus part of the commit hashes), so you cannot just rename your svn remote.
The easiest solution for this problem, is to do another clone of your svn repository, and replay any changes not committed to the old repo:
/tmp/oldclone$ git format-patch origin/trunk
/tmp/oldclone$ cd /tmp
/tmp$ git svn clone svn:/new.remote/ newclone
/tmp$ cd newclone
/tmp/newclone$ git am /tmp/oldclone/????-*.patch
/tmp/newclone$ git svn dcommit

as for tracking svn rename of directories within a single SVN repository, you can use the --trunk option to acchieve that.
Assuming you had originally a directory /project1/ in the root of your repository, and you renamed it /projectA/ (using something like svn mv project1 projectA), you can do a partial checkout of the repository containing the full history with something like:
/tmp$ git svn clone --trunk=/ svn:/new.remote/ newclone

Welcome September. Even without school in our lives, September is always incredibly busy. As we're still shaking out the tired from our wonderful unschooling conference experience (not to mention processing it all), we find ourselves scrambling out of beds and rushing out doors and writing hurried notes on the calendar. Today I must take a look at our activities and get them all organized.
It's all the better that I went through, edited, organized and posted the 215 photos I had from our trip, wrote that NEUC post, oh yes, and Alex picked fifteen pounds of grapes, and has begun to process them.
In my previous post I mentioned that we stopped by the Platts-Bradstreet House in Rowley, MA on our way home.
Alex and the kids are direct descendants of Simon and Anne Bradstreet and though I understand this house is part of the Humphrey Bradstreet line, it's still interesting to visit such an old building and one that may be connected to us through genealogy.
We didn't expect a tour, but as it happened, there was a Rowley Historical Society caretaker there, a Mr. Hazen (and incidentally, with just my brief poking around on the interwebs, we may be related to him, also). He was very kind and struck the perfect balance in explaining a few things, asking questions without being patronizing and he didn't go into expansive detail, which was great, as we were all dog tired.
He also told us about the Bradstreet Farm, just up the road, so we went to see that too. It's the old farm, established in 1635 and it's being restored, both the buildings and agriculture, by the historical society. It was lovely--and hot, so no photos. Did I mention we were tired?
So. September. Lots going on and much of it begins this month. The kids want to do the biology and nanotechnology labs offered locally, the teen library events, they'll both take the Intro to the Holocaust course Alex is facilitating and we have a Not Back To School picnic middle of the month. Choir for all of us starts mid-month, plus extra rehearsals for the kids who will be singing with the PSO, again. And the Common Ground Country Fair at the end of the month, plus some homestead-sitting. And lots of other things I know I am forgetting at this moment. It's not too much, but it's plenty. I just have to get it all down and get organized. Funny how quickly those calendar pages flip, is it not?
Busy busy! And a local nanotechnology course? My 7 year old can't wait until he is 'old enough' to do those classes. One of his favorite subjects.

Pamela Anderson Heats Up Valentine's Day With New 'Vegans Make Better Lovers' Campaign
Robin Goist 202-483-7382
Norfolk, Va. – Pamela Anderson's huge heart for animals has the Baywatch icon and PETA honorary director launching a new Valentine's Day campaign that features her on a giant 3,400-square-foot billboard in New York's Times Square and a huge 25-inch-wide limited-edition heart-shaped box of vegan chocolates in four melt-in-your-mouth flavors that shows a steamy boudoir photo of the beautiful blonde bombshell.
"I believe that having a big heart is the sexiest thing in the world," says Pamela. "And a whopping 67% of people report a boost in bedroom performance after going vegan."
Researchers have found that vegans are more empathetic than meat-eaters. That may be why vegans are a more intriguing romantic prospect—and why more people than ever are choosing to go vegan and spare the lives of nearly 200 animals a year, including cows on dairy farms, whose calves are taken away from them shortly after birth so that their milk can be sold for human consumption instead.
The limited-edition gift box includes 110 dark chocolates in cherry, lavender, raspberry, and green tea lemon flavors.
PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that "animals are not ours to eat"—opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview. For more information, please visit PETA.org or follow the group on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.
