Montréal, Québec, Canada: Champion Iron Limited (ASX: CIA, TSX: CIA) ("Champion" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company entered into a letter of intent (the "Champion Letter of Intent") with Ressources Québec Inc. ("Ressources Québec"), acting as mandatary of the Québec government, and that the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Québec Iron Ore Inc. ("QIO"), also entered into a letter of intent (together with the Champion Letter of Intent, the "Letters of Intent") with Ressources Québec, acting as mandatary of the Québec government and acting on its own behalf, regarding partial funding of QIO's acquisition (the "Acquisition") of the Bloom Lake Mine and related rail assets (collectively, "Bloom Lake") and the Quinto Mining Corporation mineral claims (the "Quinto Claims") in Québec from Cliffs Québec Iron Mining ULC, Bloom Lake Mine Iron Ore Limited Partnership, Bloom Lake Railway Company Limited and Quinto Mining Corporation (collectively, the "Bloom Lake CCAA Vendors") and related costs.
Ressources Québec intends to invest, acting as a mandatary of the Government of Quebec, C$6M in the form of common shares in the share capital of the Company at a price of $0.16 per common share issued pursuant to the private placement financing announced by the Company on December 11, 2015 of up to C$30M (increased from up to C$25M as previously announced). The proceeds of this investment are to be contributed to QIO to finance the Acquisition by QIO, and to secure up to 24 months of care and maintenance and the planned upgrade of the Bloom Lake assets.
Ressources Québec also intends to invest, acting as a mandatary of the Government of Quebec, C$14M in the form of voting and participating shares in the share capital of QIO, and also intends to provide, on its own behalf, financing in the form of a term loan of a maximum amount of C$6M. The proceeds of this financing will also be used to finance the Acquisition, and to secure up to 24 months of care and maintenance and the planned upgrade of the Bloom Lake assets.
The investments and the making of the loan are subject to, among other things, final approvals from the Government of Québec and Ressources Québec decision making authorities, the negotiation and entering into of definitive transaction documents between the parties which will provide for conditions to closing, including, as applicable, satisfactory due diligence being conducted by Ressources Québec on the Company, QIO and the Bloom Lake assets, the closing of the private placement financing of ordinary shares of the Company announced on December 11, 2015, the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange and of the Australian Securities Exchange, and the approval of the Company's shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company. The ordinary shares to be issued under the investments will be issued pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws and will be subject to a four-month statutory hold period from the date of closing of the offering. The terms and conditions of the private placement financing and the Acquisition will be further described in the Company's management proxy circular (Canada) and Notice of Meeting (Australia), which is expected to be filed on SEDAR and mailed to Champion shareholders in the coming weeks.
On 11 December 2015, the Company announced that QIO had entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") in respect of the Acquisition.
On 27 January 2016, the transaction was approved by the Québec Superior Court under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada).
The Asset Purchase Agreement provides that the Bloom Lake assets and the Quinto Claims are being acquired for a cash consideration of C$10.5 million and the assumption of certain liabilities. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, QIO will become responsible for environmental obligations which include environmental reclamation liabilities presently assessed at approximately C$41.7 million by the Government of Québec, as well as the replacement of certain bonds securing certain obligations of Bloom Lake totalling approximately C$1.1 million.
The Asset Purchase Agreement contains a number of closing conditions, including the obtaining of the approval of shareholders of Champion in connection with the aforementioned private placement financing, which will be sought as part of a shareholders' meeting expected to be held at the end of March 2016.


That spirit is the spirit of a determined nation willing to defend our freedoms, no matter what the cost. (Laughter.) That American spirit says loud and clear that we're willing to serve something greater than ourselves. We're willing to serve people in need, a community we love. And part of the American spirit is for our citizens to exercise their duty, and their duty is to cast a vote on November the 5th. You have a duty. (Applause.) You have a duty in this country -- if you believe in freedom, if you believe in the values that make this country the finest nation on the face of the Earth, you have a duty to go to the polls. That's part of what it means to live in a free society.
I want to thank Dr. Hilpert for opening up this beautiful facility for this rally. I want to thank the university staff for putting up with the President's entourage. I want to thank you for your hospitality. I want to thank the Mayor of Aberdeen, Tom Hooper for coming out to say hello today. I appreciate -- Tom Hopper. I appreciate very much his hospitality. I want to thank all my citizens for coming.
And there is a reason why. Mike Rounds has got a vision for education for this state that says no child will be left behind; a vision which says every child can be educated. There's a reason why to vote for him, besides the fact that he's a good and honorable man -- it's because he's got a vision that's positive for the future of this state.
He knows if you're good at something we ought to promote it. We're good at raising crops, and we ought to be selling them all around the world, for the sake of South Dakota farmers and South Dakota ranchers. (Applause.) He's a common-sense fellow; he understands good practical policies can make a large difference.
So I look forward to working with Senator Thune and Congressman Janklow on the issues that relate to the -- our citizenry. Issues like economic growth and good health systems and education. The biggest issue we'll be working on together is to protect the American people. That's the biggest issue. The biggest challenge we have in America is to protect our citizens from killers. They're nothing but a bunch of cold-blooded killers. These people have hijacked a great religion, and they kill innocent life. See, they don't like America; they don't value life like we do.
We say in our country, everybody matters, everybody is precious in the sight of an Almighty, everybody counts. (Applause.) That's not the ways these folks we're chasing down think. You just got to know that. But the nation is -- we've been warned. We understand the stakes. We understand our life is changed. And so there's a lot of good folks doing everything they can to do our number one job, which is to protect you. A lot of good folks at the federal level and the state level and the local level doing everything we can to disrupt and deny, to run down every hint, every lead. Any time we've got any kind of inkling that somebody is thinking about doing something to an American and something to our homeland, you've just got to know we're moving on it, to protect the United Nations Constitution, and at the same time, we're protecting you.
But we can do a better job. And that's why I went to the United States Congress and asked them to join me in the creation of a department of homeland security, so we can get all of the agencies involved with protecting you to have as their number one focus your protection, and if need be, be able to change cultures within these agencies. The House of Representatives passed a good bill. I want to thank John Thune for his vote. This bill is stuck in the Senate. It's stuck in the Senate because some senators are trying to extract a price from the President, and the price is -- is that I will give up the capacity to suspend certain bargaining rules in the name of national security, the ability that every President since John F. Kennedy has had.
But the best way to protect you is to find these killers, one at a time, and bring them to justice. And that's exactly what we're going to do. (Applause.) It doesn't matter how long it takes, it just doesn't matter how long it takes to defend our country and defend our freedoms. There's not a calendar on my desk that says, on such and such a date you be hauling them home; on such and such a date we quit. That's not an America I know, and that's not the America you're a part of. You see, when it comes to defending that which we hold dear, our freedoms, it doesn't matter what the cost, it doesn't matter how long it takes.
And secondly, we're sending a clear signal to friend and foe alike that this is a determined nation. I'm determined to make sure that that doctrine that says, either you're with us or with the enemy, is still clear in everybody's mind around the world. It still stands, by the way. (Applause.) If you harbor a terrorist, you're just as guilty as the terrorist -- that doctrine still stands, too. And that defense bill -- (applause) -- and the defense bill shows we mean what we say.
And we're making progress. We're making progress. Sometimes you'll see it on your TV screens, and sometimes you won't. See, it's a different kind of war. In the old days, we destroy tanks and ships and airplanes, and say, look, we're destroying the enemy's hardware and we're making progress. This bunch we're fighting is people who hide in caves and send their youngsters to their suicidal deaths. It's a different kind of war. But we're still making progress, one at a time. We're hauling them in. We've got a coalition of people on the hunt.
We've got to be clear-eyed, we've got to understand the risk that our country faces. We've got to be realistic, particularly in Washington, D.C., when it comes to setting priorities to defending our homeland. It's important that we not see the world the way we hope it is, but we see the world the way it really is. The world changed on September the 11th, 2001. It used to be when a lot of us were growing up that oceans could protect us. Oh, if there was a conflict overseas, we could pick or choose if we wanted to be involved, but the threat wasn't really real to America. It might be real to some Americans who were overseas, but it wasn't real to our homeland. It was not a threat. But that all changed. And it's important for those of us who are responsible for your safety to be clear-eyed about the threats, to see threats as they are, not as we hope they are.
There is a threat in Iraq. And the threat exists because a leader there not only has denied and deceived the world about whether or not he's got weapons of mass destruction, but this is a guy who's used weapons of mass destruction. He not only has them, he's used them. And he's not only used them in his neighborhood, he's used them against his own people.
This is a man who cannot stand what we stand for. He hates the fact, like al Qaeda does, that we love freedom. See, they can't stand that. This is a guy who has had connections with these shadowy terrorist networks. As I said in Cincinnati, Ohio, a while back, he's the kind of fellow who would love nothing more than to hurt America and not leave any fingerprints by using a surrogate army on his behalf. He's a problem. He's a true threat to America and our friends and allies.
I went to the United Nations a while ago because I want the United Nations to be effective. It's a different kind of war we face; we face different kind of threats. It makes sense for there to be an international body that has got the backbone and the capacity to help keep the peace. And so here is my message, a message, by the way, resoundingly supported by members of both political parties in the Senate and the House: The message to the world is that we want the U.N. to succeed. We want those resolutions you pass to be listened to. You have told Saddam Hussein he must disarm; do your job.
There's no doubt, there is no doubt that we have got a chance in this nation to bring some great good to our country and to the world, out of the evil done to us. You know, I kind of wonder what was going through the enemy's mind when they attacked us. They probably thought we were so selfish and that our true religion was materialism, so self-centered that after 9/11, 2001, oh, we might file a lawsuit or two. I guess they've been watching too much TV. (Laughter.) They don't understand the country.
This country is tough, and it's strong, and it's determined. And by being tough and strong and determined, we can bring peace to the world. You got to know, amidst all the talk, please tell your kids that amongst all the talk that you're hearing, the vision is peace. And I believe it's going to happen. I believe it's not only peace for Americans, but because we value every life, everybody is important, each person matters, there can be peace in parts of the world that have given up on peace. I believe it's possible to have peace in the Middle East. I believe it's possible to have peace in South Asia.
The enemy has given us a chance, after our grief, not only to be alert here at home, but to work hard to keep the peace elsewhere. And we will. And here at home, we can be a better America, too. And that's important for you all to realize. That out of the evil done to America can come some incredible good.
And that's happening in this country. And that's happening in neighborhood after neighborhood, after neighborhood. No, the American spirit is alive and well. Part of that spirit is serving something greater than yourself in life.
Today when I came to the airport, I met Clay Crawford, father of four. He took it upon himself for the past couple of years to mentor at-risk youths. I'm confident that amongst you there are hundreds of people who are doing the very same thing. Being a part of that movement to make sure that the American experience is alive and well in every corner of our country. It doesn't matter whether you're going to see a shut-in, or running a Boy Scout troop or a Girl Scout troop. It doesn't matter whether you're a youngster wanting to be involved with the USA Freedom Corps. My call to you is, in order to fight evil, is to do some good.
You see, it's the gathering momentum of millions of acts of kindness and decency which define the true character of the greatest country on the face of the Earth.

Labour MP Godfrey Farrugia has announced that he will not be contesting the next general election on a Labour Party ticket. In a Facebook post, Farrugia said that he had decided not to contest the election because he no longer felt he belonged in "what is calling itself the Labour Party".
"Tomorrow I turn 57. This afternoon I have decided that it would not suit me to contest the election on the ticket of what is calling itself the Labour Party. I am a Labourite and I don't feel that my place is there," wrote the Zebbug doctor.
Four days ago, Farrugia announced he would be resigning as the Labour Party's Whip in the wake of reports that the Prime Minister's wife owns an offshore Panama company, adding that he would stay on as a member of the Labour Party in order to try and change it from within.
Farrugia was appointed health minister upon Labour's election 2013, but stepped down a year later and was replaced by Konrad Mizzi. He was appointed Whip of the Labour Party's parliamentary group in 2015. In a brief reaction to the resignation, Joseph Muscat praised Farrugia for his work as Whip and announced that Anthony Agius Decelis has been appointed acting whip.
In a strongly worded open letter to Joseph Muscat, Farrugia warned that the Office of the Prime Minister had started centralising power after the Panama Papers scandal erupted last year, and that some Labour officials and supporters had done their utmost to deny him media coverage.


Bandmates, family and friends are getting together to hold a second benefit for legendary Australian alternative rock and blues bassist, Brian Hooper, after he was diagnosed with incurable lung cancer last year.
Brian's illness has devastated his many friends in the Australian music industry, who are rallying to support him and his family.
On Friday April 20 Perth alumni will band together with Ken "Squasha" Knight to organise a hometown show for Brian. The benefit will feature Kim Salmon and Friends, Gareth Liddiard (The Drones), Kill Devil Hills, King Pig (Brian's brother Alan has reformed the band for the show), Teenage Dreamers (Kim Salmon and James Baker), as well as The Beautiful Losers, The Floors, Polite Society and The Painkillers.
Added attractions include Velveteen Rabit creating some live art and DJ Rhys (The Firm).
It's not the first time misfortune has knocked Brian down. After a freak balcony fall in 2004, doctors said he would likely never walk again. They were wrong.
Now, Brian faces the toughest fight of all to get back up again.
Bandmate and Beasts lead singer Tex Perkins said, "Despite being told that he would never walk again, Brian determinedly rehabilitated himself to a point way past expectation. His recovery was a true Phoenix rising from the ashes episode and was an inspiration to the rest of us beasts. Brian's accident really showed what he was made of – true grit.

I think it goes without saying that Bachelor Season 21 contestant Taylor Nolan hasn't gotten nearly as much screen time as some of the other more outlandish contestants (like Alexis "Shark-Dolphin Girl" Waters and Corinne Olympios) and obvious frontrunners (like Vanessa "Mrs. Nick Viall" Grimaldi), but that seems about to change. On the Jan. 23 episode, Taylor and Corinne's growing mutual dislike of one another morphed into a full-blown feud. Week 4's cliffhanger featured the two women practically screaming at one another via fireside. Unlike Corinne — who we arguably know too much about — the show has focused far less on Taylor. For instance, what is Taylor's job?
At 23-years-old, Taylor (along with Alexis) is among the youngest of any of the 15 contestants remaining in this season's quest for Nick's heart. But despite her young age, the Seattle native has accomplished a lot professionally in only a short amount of time. As is indicated in her Bachelor chyron, Taylor is a mental health counselor. Taylor has also mentioned a bit about her educational background and her career to Nick during her brief one-on-one time with him during group dates and at the cocktail parties, including that she feels more of a mental connection with Nick.
Taylor's educational background is just as advanced as her career. According to her social media accounts and her LinkedIn profile, she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Stevenson University in 2014 and a Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University after that, in 2016. She's also certified as a "QPR Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper," as of 2012.
During her time at Johns Hopkins, Taylor apparently also belonged to Chi Sigma Iota, an "international honor society of professional counseling and for professional counselors" established in 1985. At Stevenson, she made the Dean's list and belonged to Psi Chi International Honors Society. Clearly, Taylor's got plenty of those "book smarts" she was talking to Corinne about in the latest episode, when she was attempting to explain the difference between various "types" of intelligence.
The only work experience listed for Taylor on LinkedIn is the six months she spent, post-undergrad, working as a counselor at Key Point Health Services from May 2014-October 2014 (at which point, presumably, she returned to school for her Master's degree). Since she only graduated this past May, it's possible that she hadn't yet gotten a job at the time — The Bachelor began filming sometime in September.
Taylor's career path makes a ton of sense, given how much time she's spent psycho-analyzing Corinne — much to Corinne's chagrin. Fingers crossed that they'll be able to defuse the tension between them before it gets too ugly.

Kevin Boyle Says 'half the league' has called about Ben Simmons
By Josh Newman | Dec 10, 2015 | 1:07PM
(Derick E. Hingle)
LSU freshman sensation Ben Simmons is the projected No. 1 pick in June's NBA Draft by DraftExpress. In turn, teams have begun calling Montverde Academy coach Kevin Boyle asking questions about the 6-foot-10 Australian-born lefty.
This isn't Boyle's first rodeo, having fielded calls about current NBA players Kyrie Irving and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, among others. At this point, he has a piece of advice for NBA personnel calling.
"There's a bunch of teams that have called, probably half the league has called so far asking questions about Ben," Boyle told SNY.tv Wednesday afternoon on the 4 Quarters Podcast. "At this point, my basic thing to them is, if you're not the first or second pick, it's probably not worth your time to invest to be honest."

In what could turn out to be a George Costanza-style worlds-colliding moment, the current and former coaches of The Patrick School could square off later this month in the prestigious City of Palms Classic in Fort Myers, Fla.
The current coach is none other than former Rutgers coach Mike Rice, while the former coach is Kevin Boyle, now the head man at Montverde (FL) Academy, the No. 1 team in the nation according to USA Today. The two schools are on opposite sides of the bracket for the event which runs Dec. 18-23.
"The interesting thing is that there is a chance we play them in the City of Palms," Boyle said Wednesday on The 4 Quarters Podcast. "We're on one side of the bracket, and they're on the other side of the bracket and I think they have an excellent chance of getting to the championship. We probably have a harder road than them."

A college AD should think outside the box and hire Montverde Academy coach Kevin Boyle. (Rob Foldy-USA TODAY Sports)
INDIANAPOLIS -- Five years ago, Wagner college AD Walt Hameline made a big and bold move by hiring Danny Hurley to coach the school's basketball team.
Hurley had spent nine years as a high school at St. Benedict's Prep and made the rare jump to the Division level.
How'd that work out?

Polenta has a long tradition in Ticino and has been a staple food for a significant part of the population for centuries.
Today, a genuine Ticino polenta cooked on an outdoor fire or in a fireplace is no longer very common. Fortunately, throughout Ticino, there are many grottoes and restaurants who offer customers this traditional dish, prepared from the crackling fire as tradition requires.
Polenta is not a dish suited to those who are impatient: cooking polenta on a low flame requires approximately two hours, while stirring the polenta frequently.
Those who are patient enough to wait will be rewarded with a genuine dish of a splendid golden colour.
Polenta can be served with various Ticino specialities such as: Alpine cheeses, 'mortadella' (Bologna sausage), braised meat, stew and many other tasty side dishes.

Q: How to style default map marker in Google maps angular plugin I am using 2.0.X version of angular-google-maps.
All the markers are typical Google Maps style (red pointer) by default. While I what to style it a bit - either have the same shape but different colour or choose another shape. Without any custom images/icons involved, just basic but different colour.
Plugin documentation marker directive has a options attribute, which is referencing Google maps API docs where is says google.maps.MarkerOptions -
icon
Type:  string|Icon|Symbol Icon for the foreground.
If a string
is provided, it is treated as though it were an Icon with the string
as url.
I've tried applying this like this
var pointObject = {
//other props
options: {
  draggable: false,
  icon: FORWARD_OPEN_ARROW //here
},
active: false
};
$scope.points.push(pointObject);

but this didn't work.

A: This is my solution to change marker:
in HTML:
  <md-whiteframe flex="grow" layout-margin>
    <ui-gmap-google-map center="map.center" zoom="map.zoom" options="map.options">
      <ui-gmap-marker idKey="1" coords="marker.coords" options="marker.options">
    </ui-gmap-marker>
    </ui-gmap-google-map>
  </md-whiteframe>

in Controller.ng.js:
uiGmapGoogleMapApi.then(function(maps) {

$scope.map = {
  center: {
    latitude: 43.6091569,
    longitude: 57.4442909
  },
  zoom: 13,
  options: {
    scrollwheel: false,
    streetViewControl: false,
    draggable: isDraggable,
  }
};

    $scope.marker = {
      coords : {
        latitude: 47.6091569,
        longitude: 33.4442909
      },
      options: {
        icon: '/marker.png',
      }
    };

    $scope.window = {...};
  });

Remember to inject uiGmapGoogleMapApi in controller

A: Google provides some constants that you can use for your icons here.

In your controller, use this:
uiGmapGoogleMapApi
  .then(function (maps) {
    $scope.map = { center: { latitude: 47, longitude: 33 }, zoom: 14 };
    $scope.personMarker = {
      id : 'personMarkerId', //must be unique
      options: {
        // more options: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/3.exp/reference#SymbolPath
        icon: { path: maps.SymbolPath.CIRCLE, scale: 10 }
      }
    };
  })

And your HTML:
<ui-gmap-google-map ng-if="map.center" center="map.center" zoom="map.zoom">
    <ui-gmap-marker coords="map.center" options="personMarker.options" idKey="personMarker.id">
    </ui-gmap-marker>
 </ui-gmap-google-map>

NEW YORK (AP) — Two impoverished Mississippi men who say they were sexually assaulted by Franciscan missionaries filed a federal lawsuit Thursday claiming that Catholic officials pressured them into signing settlements that paid them little money and required them to remain silent about the alleged abuse.
The lawsuit, filed in New York, claims the church officials drew up the agreements a year ago to prevent the men from telling their stories or going to court — a violation of a 2002 promise by American bishops to abandon the use of nondisclosure agreements, as part of an effort to end the cover-up of sexual abuse within the church.
"The confidentiality provisions contained in the disputed agreements were intended to silence" the two men "in direct contradiction" to the U.S. Catholic Church's Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People, the lawsuit says.
The suit was filed by two cousins, La Jarvis Love, of Senatobia, Mississippi, and Joshua Love, of Greenwood, Mississippi, black men from the Mississippi Delta, both 36 years old.
The men say they were repeatedly abused by Franciscan brothers Paul West and the late Don Lucas while they were enrolled in a Catholic grade school in Greenwood, Mississippi.
The accusations made by the Love cousins and a third relative, Joshua's younger brother, Raphael, were first reported by The Associated Press in August.
West, who voluntarily left the Franciscan order and lives in Appleton, Wisconsin, did not return a call seeking comment. The Rev. James G. Gannon, leader of the Wisconsin Franciscans, and Stephen J. Carmody, an attorney for the Jackson Diocese, also did not return messages seeking comment.
In the lawsuit, the Love cousins say West also abused them while on driving excursions from Mississippi to New York, where La Jarvis attended Camp Alvernia, a summer camp founded by the Franciscans in Centerport, New York. The lawsuit says West also abused them at a hotel in Manhattan.
"West separately abused" La Jarvis and Joshua Love "raping and sexually assaulting them, making them perform sex acts on him, and encouraging them to perform sex acts on each other," the lawsuit says.
Although clergy abuse claims are often filed in state courts, Paul J. Pennock, a New York attorney representing La Jarvis and Joshua Love, said the lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in New York City because of alleged violations of the federal Mann Act, which bars anyone from transporting minors across state lines for the purpose of having sex.
John F. Hawkins, a Mississippi attorney who also represents the Love cousins, said: "These guys have never received anything resembling justice. I'm hoping this lawsuit will bring these matters to light and provide them with a full measure of justice."
La Jarvis and Joshua Love reported their abuse separately to the Catholic Diocese of Jackson, Mississippi, within the last two years. Like many other dioceses, the Jackson Diocese has issued a list of credibly accused priests and brothers that includes West and Lucas, though the diocese does not list the names of accusers.
According to the lawsuit, Gannon, the Franciscan leader, and Valerie McClellan, the victim assistance coordinator for the Jackson Diocese, met with Joshua Love last year and "and encouraged him to initially settle his claims for $10,000."
During the meeting, the lawsuit says, "it was understood among the group that Joshua could not read and, therefore, was not able to understand the terms of the settlement other than the settlement amount."
After Joshua Love objected to the amount, Gannon agreed to increase the settlement to $15,000.
McClellan, who is not named as a defendant, previously told the AP she never encouraged Joshua Love to take a settlement. She said she maintained appropriate boundaries between her dual roles as victim assistance coordinator and Joshua's therapist.
The lawsuit says La Jarvis Love was also encouraged to settle his claims for $15,000 "and discouraged from hiring a lawyer."
During interviews with the AP, La Jarvis said he met with Gannon at an IHOP in Senatobia last January, accompanied by his wife and three children, and told Gannon he wasn't sure $15,000 was enough.
"He said if I wanted more I would have to get a lawyer and have my lawyer call his lawyer," he said. "Well, we don't have lawyers. We felt like we had to take what we could."
Victims of Catholic sexual abuse who are represented by attorneys generally settle for much more than $15,000. In 2006, the Diocese of Jackson, Mississippi, settled a handful of lawsuits with 19 victims, 17 of whom were white, for $5 million, with an average payout of more than $250,000 per survivor. More recent settlements have ranged far higher, including an average payment of nearly $500,000 each for survivors in the St. Paul-Minneapolis Diocese.
Mark Belenchia, a clergy abuse survivor and the Mississippi leader of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, said he was heartened by the lawsuit.
"These brave men were denied the opportunity to have a normal, healthy childhood and were further harmed after coming forward as adults by the Church leadership," he said. Belenchia hopes "they can receive justice and reach some closure to a lifetime of fear, doubt and shame."

For years there was only one reputable method to keep info on a pc – utilizing a hard disk drive (HDD). Having said that, this kind of technology is by now showing its age – hard disks are actually noisy and sluggish; they are power–ravenous and frequently produce a great deal of heat throughout intense operations.
SSD drives, however, are fast, consume a smaller amount energy and are also far less hot. They furnish a brand new solution to file accessibility and data storage and are years ahead of HDDs with regard to file read/write speed, I/O operation and power effectivity. See how HDDs stand up up against the more recent SSD drives.
SSD drives give a fresh & progressive solution to file storage using the use of electronic interfaces as an alternative to any sort of moving parts and rotating disks. This brand–new technology is considerably quicker, making it possible for a 0.1 millisecond data file accessibility time.
HDD drives still makes use of the very same basic data access technique that was originally created in the 1950s. Despite the fact that it has been considerably improved since that time, it's slower when compared with what SSDs are providing. HDD drives' file access rate ranges in between 5 and 8 milliseconds.
Caused by the new radical data storage strategy shared by SSDs, they furnish swifter data access speeds and swifter random I/O performance.
During The Web Hosting Team's tests, all of the SSDs showed their capacity to handle a minimum of 6000 IO's per second.
All through the very same tests, the HDD drives turned out to be significantly slower, with simply 400 IO operations managed per second. Even though this may appear to be a good deal, when you have a busy web server that hosts lots of popular web sites, a slow disk drive may result in slow–loading websites.
SSD drives do not have any kind of moving parts, meaning there's far less machinery inside them. And the less physically moving parts you will discover, the fewer the probability of failing can be.
Since we have mentioned, HDD drives use rotating hard disks. And something that takes advantage of lots of moving elements for prolonged intervals is vulnerable to failing.
HDD drives' common rate of failure ranges among 2% and 5%.
SSD drives are much small compared to HDD drives as well as they lack any kind of moving parts whatsoever. Consequently they don't create so much heat and need less power to operate and fewer power for cooling down reasons.
SSDs consume amongst 2 and 5 watts.
HDD drives are notorious for being noisy; they're prone to heating up and if there are several hard drives inside a web server, you have to have an extra cooling unit simply for them.
As a whole, HDDs use up in between 6 and 15 watts.
As a result of SSD drives' greater I/O functionality, the leading server CPU can work with data requests more rapidly and preserve time for different operations.
Compared with SSDs, HDDs allow for slower data file accessibility rates. The CPU will need to wait around for the HDD to come back the requested data, scheduling its resources meanwhile.
The average I/O delay for HDD drives is approximately 7%.
In the real world, SSDs perform as perfectly as they managed throughout The Web Hosting Team's checks. We ran a complete system backup using one of our own production machines. All through the backup process, the typical service time for any I/O calls was basically below 20 ms.
During the very same lab tests using the same web server, now equipped out utilizing HDDs, overall performance was significantly slow. All through the server data backup process, the average service time for any I/O calls ranged between 400 and 500 ms.
You can easily feel the real–world potential benefits to using SSD drives each and every day. By way of example, on a hosting server pre–loaded with SSD drives, a full data backup can take only 6 hours.
Alternatively, with a hosting server with HDD drives, an identical data backup will take 3 to 4 times as long to finish. A full backup of any HDD–powered server normally takes 20 to 24 hours.

Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about the history of cocaine, how it became illegal, and how it affects society almost a hundred years later. Central Idea: Although cocaine was once hailed as a cure all drug, the general population failed to see how addictive and destructive the drug can be.
Introduction I. In 1972 there was a test done on monkeys where they were injected with cocaine. II. When given a choice of interacting with other monkeys or living in isolation with unlimited amount of cocaine, they chose the latter. III. They also chose the drug over food, so much so that it led to starvation. IV. Today I would like to inform you on how cocaine became illegal as well as the affects it still has today.
Transition: However, before I do that I would like to give you a little history on cocaine and how it became the cure all drug in America.
I. Cocaine has not always been the taboo drug that it is today. A. As a matter of fact, natives of the Andes Mountains used the cocoa plant for medicinal and recreational uses for over 15 centuries. 1. The Incas would chew the leaves to enhance their mood and productivity.(1) B. However, the drug itself didn't hit mainstream until in 1859 when an Italian chemist named Albert Niemann isolated the active ingredient in the cocoa plant and called it cocaine. 2. Several patent medicines, laced with cocaine, were prescribed for ailments ranging from depression to hay fever, and was incorporated into wines and colas.(4) 3. These self-medicated medicines claimed to cure everything from sexual dysfunction to cancer. (2) And all of these were easily accessible at your local drug store. 4. You could go to the local drug store and get a shot of Coca-Cola Classic for just a nickel. Transition: Now that I've given you a brief history of cocaine, let's talk about how it became illegal.
II. Cocaine did not become illegal until the Harrison Anti-Narcotics Act of 1914. A. Ever since the late 1880's, employers would supply cocaine to African American dock workers so they could endure the long hours of working on the dock.(2) 1. Often times it was given to them as part of their wages. 2. It wasn't long after that they began to use the drug for recreational purposes.
Transition: While that may have affected the availability, it did nothing for the addiction.
III. Almost 100 years after the passing of The Harrison Act, addiction to cocaine still affects our society today. A. Cocaine usage hit its peak in the mid-1980's.
Conclusion I. In conclusion, what was once hailed as the cure all drug for any ailment, has now become one of the most addictive and taboo drugs of the 21st century. II. Racial tensions in the south actually assisted in passing laws regulating cocaine. III. And while the government has tried to keep the drug in check, the battle of addiction is still being fought today.

The 2020 BuckeyeThon raised more than $1.6 million
Scenes from BuckeyeThon 2020
Scenes from BuckeyeThon
Dance marathon at BuckeyeThon 2020
Students celebrate BuckeyeThon 2020
For the kids, BuckeyeThon sets records in fight against pediatric cancer
Organization has raised over $11 million for Nationwide Children's Hospital
Update: BuckeyeThon students raised $1,606,087.99 For The Kids at Nationwide Children's Hospital.
For Nina Ryan, service is second nature. The current president of BuckeyeThon was part of a similar youth philanthropy organization at her Columbus-area high school and joined the BuckeyeThon team when she arrived at The Ohio State University as a first-year student.
"I've really been a part of it since my sophomore year of high school, and my brother was a part of BuckeyeThon as well. He was on the executive board, so I think it's a part of my family," she said.
Now as a third-year public policy major, Ryan is helping to lead the largest student-run philanthropy in the state of Ohio as it kicks off its busiest weekend. BuckeyeThon's largest event is the dance marathon, the fundraising year-culminating event that brings together thousands of Buckeyes in the Ohio Union. The marathon starts Friday night and runs until Saturday evening.
"This event is a culmination of an entire year's worth of events and planning and fundraising," Ryan said. "This event is important because it is celebrating the kids who are with us at Ohio State and is also celebrating the kids that we're fighting for."
BuckeyeThon raises funds and awareness for the Hematology/Oncology Floor at Nationwide Children's Hospital, with the ultimate goal of ending pediatric cancer. Since its founding, BuckeyeThon has raised over $11.5 million for Nationwide Children's Hospital.
For Kristin Oliphant, those donations make a real difference for the lives of families confronting a pediatric cancer diagnosis. Oliphant, an Ohio State alumna and digital fundraising specialist for the Alumni Association, first learned about BuckeyeThon when her sister, Lauryn, was receiving treatment for leukemia.
"Because of BuckeyeThon we were able to stay at Children's. We were able to get care. It was care for the patient, care for the siblings, all of those aspects," she said. "Because it's mentally exhausting, it's physically exhausting, it's emotionally exhausting and it's spiritually exhausting. But just knowing that all of these people are behind that same goal of ending pediatric cancer is phenomenal."
Lauryn lost her battle with cancer in 2016, but Kristin keeps fighting in her honor. She remembers speaking to the students at BuckeyeThon and feeling a connection and a shared purpose.
"I made a promise to her that I was going to do whatever I could to help end pediatric cancer in any way I knew how," she said. "Looking around and seeing all those students, I pull them in to remind them that their presence and their passion in this movement is just as important as mine. This wouldn't be possible if they weren't all here."
This year's dance marathon consists of two 12-hour shifts, with approximately 2,000 students dancing in each shift. Students are required to do their own fundraising to participate. Ryan said they have become increasingly creative in their efforts to raise money for BuckeyeThon.
"People will create TikTok videos for donations. They will post funny pictures of themselves from when they were young for donations," she said. "People will sell bracelets, they'll make art, they will walk your dog for you."
For Ryan, two moments help her appreciate the community connections of BuckeyeThon: one at the beginning and one at the end of the dance marathon.
"I love to stand at the opening ceremonies, looking out over all of the people who have not been to the dance marathon before, because for about 80 percent of those people this is their first time, and I love watching their faces as they're confused in the beginning and then they realize the gravity of what they're a part of, that this is our community and that it is something amazing. It gives me chills," she said. "And then, of course, singing Carmen Ohio, after the [fundraising] reveal, no matter the total number that we've raised before or what we will raise, the community behind it's just beautiful."
Dance, dance, dance. @BuckeyeThon sets records to end pediatric cancer #OSUForTheKids I @OhioStateNews @nationwidekids

Q: What is the nested tables limit for major browsers? Backstory: When working with Microsoft Dynamics CRM, I discovered a document from Microsoft stating that every browser has a specific limit of how many nested tables you can have.

There is a limit to the number of nested steps you can use in a dialog. The limit depends on the browser you're using and isn't a limit in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. The nested steps are rendered in the browser as nested tables. Some browsers support more levels of nested tables than others.

Source
I have read this question but it is more generalised into ANY element, rather than a table in a table, which is what I am seeing.
What are the real-world limitations for major browsers?
From my real-life example, I am looking at approximately 61 nested tables. Although, I am unsure, as copying the entire page source reveals 6 opening
 tags and 61
 tags

A: As noted by @Alex, Firefox is currently limited to 33 nested tables. Cross-browser, this represents the current practical nested table limit. Your 61 nested tables will not currently render in Firefox.

Let's go further and make a real-life test. We can open a new nested table on each line and let the browser fill in the closing tags:

1

2

3

4

5

Results
I tested Internet Explorer 11, Firefox (Windows + Android) and Chrome (Windows + Android) — Edge and Safari would be useful to test as well.
Most nested tables rendered
Internet Explorer 11 managed to render 262 nested tables correctly. Any more would be rendered briefly before crashing the browser.
Runner up
Google Chrome (Version 53.0.2785.143 m (64-bit)) manages to render 378 nested tables, but only the first 127 are rendered correctly, with the rest breaking out of the outermost table. Any further nested tables caused the tab to crash. This behaviour is the same on mobile.

Firefox (Version 49.01) only managed to render 33 nested tables correctly. The following nested tables were simply not rendered and the browser did not crash even when 1000 nested tables were given to it. This behaviour is the same on mobile.

Why are aldehydes more reactive than?
Is alcohol more reactive than alkanes?
Which ketone is most reactive?
Why is LiAlH4 a stronger reducing agent than NaBH4?
Why are anhydrides so reactive?
Why are primary alcohols less reactive?
Why are alkanes least reactive?
Do alcohols react with NaOH?
Which of the aldehyde is more reactive?
Are alcohols acidic or basic?
Aldehydes are typically more reactive than ketones due to the following factors. … The carbonyl carbon in aldehydes generally has more partial positive charge than in ketones due to the electron-donating nature of alkyl groups. Aldehydes only have one e– donor group while ketones have two.
Reactions of Alcohols. … Indeed, the dipolar nature of the O–H bond is such that alcohols are much stronger acids than alkanes (by roughly 1030 times), and nearly that much stronger than ethers (oxygen substituted alkanes that do not have an O–H group).
That is why, acetaldehyde is more reactive than benzaldehyde and acetone is more reactive than benzophenone. (2) Electrophilicity of carbonyl carbon: Due to electronegativity of oxygen the double-bonded carbon attached to it acquires partial positive charge, which makes the attack of nucleophiles easier.
But LiAlH4 is a very strong reducing agent than NaBH4 because the Al-H bond in the LiAlH4 is weaker than the B-H bond in NaBH4. This makes the Al-H bond less stable. The reason for this is the low electronegativity of Aluminum compared to Boron. … As a result, LiAlH4 is a better hydride donor.
THIS IS FUNNING: Does Pet Nat wine go bad?
Anhydrides are less stable because the donation of electrons to one carbonyl group is in competition with the donation of electrons to the second carbonyl group. Thus, in comparison to esters, where the oxygen atom need only stabilize one carbonyl group, anhydrides are more reactive than esters.
Primary alcohols react via SN2 mechanism which involves the carbocation formation but the secondary and tertiary react via SN1 which is elementary and no carbocation is formed. hence it appears that both primary and tertiary alcohols should react rapidly but it is not so. thats why tertiary alcohols are more reactive.
Alkanes are saturated and have stronger intermolecular forces of attraction. Thus, a lot of energy is needed to break their bonds. Therefore, they are less reactive.
NaOH when reacts with water forms ethoxide ion but due to its basicity it abstract hydrogen reforming alcohol. hence alcohols does not reacts with the base.
Smaller the alkyl group on an aldehyde higher its reactivity. This is also why ketones are less reactive than even aldehydes.
By the Arrhenius definition of an acid and base, alcohol is neither acidic nor basic when dissolved in water, as it neither produces H+ nor OH- in solution. They are generally weak acids. Alcohols are very weak Brønsted acids with pKa values generally in the range of 15 – 20.
THIS IS FUNNING: What is the best alcohol to use in French onion soup?

Dispersed Vectors 1
November 7, 2019 · by ||| · in Bateson, Dean, Deleuze, Guattari. ·
For Gregory Bateson, it is a "pathology of epistemology" (1973) that causes us to overlook our connections to the broader environment, threatening the very existence of humanity and causing the ecological crisis.
Writing in 1989, Felix Guattari recognizes that what is called '"the ecological crisis" is not just a crisis of the environment, but also of both individual and collective human life. In an ecosophical approach to subjectivity, it behoves us to think not of subject, or even of subject and environment together, but of dispersed vectors or "components of subjectification".
In explaining this, Guattari states that
"Vectors of subjectification do not necessarily pass through the individual, which in reality appears to be something like a 'terminal' for processes that involve human groups, socio-economic ensembles, data-processing machines etc. Therefore, interiority establishes itself at the crossroads of multiple components, each relatively autonomous in relation to the other and, if need be, in open conflict" (Guattari, 2000:25)
This reminds me of Jodi Dean's comments:
"How is it that the subject remains reduced to the individual, as if there were an individual who is subjected rather than a collective, exercising the power of its own self-determination, that becomes fragmented and desubjectified, pacified as it is divided up into ever smaller portions?"
So the question becomes from us patchers: 'how to weave such diverse vectors to begin enacting more ecological viable socio-political prospects, given most institutions and modes of production in the global North remain mired in the cultural swamps of neo-liberalism?' What media and social habits can we mangle together for future viability in climate chaos ecosystems?
Arran Crawford:
"We live in a time of ruin and decay. This is true of our subjective formations as much as it is of our infrastructural relations. We have to build from those ruins, assembling anything that we can find, whatever is at hand, turning it into a means of coping, of surviving, or, if possible, into a weapon."
Guattari and his friend Gilles borrowed heavily from Bateson, but didn't have a lot to say explicitly about that. Here is someone who reads well and investigated that jankyness:
"Bringing Deleuze and Guattari down to Earth through Gregory Bateson: Plateaus, Rhizomes and Ecosophical Subjectivity" (2015), by Robert Shaw
Abstract: While Deleuze and Guattari described themselves as 'geophilosophers', researchers are just beginning to explore the influences on their writing which lead them to this conclusion. Gregory Bateson, who is dismissed by Deleuze and Guattari as living "une carrière à l'américaine", contributed to the development of several concepts which Deleuze and Guattari later used to build up their vision of the relationship between earth and subjectivity. Perhaps because of their dismissal of him, there have been few attempts to construct a Batesonian reading of Deleuze and Guattari.
This paper begins to offer two central ways in which we might do this. First, it explores the concepts which moved from Bateson to the two-volumes of Capitalism and Schizophrenia. In doing so, Bateson is used to develop an understanding of Capitalism and Schizophrenia as an attempt to create new non-schismogenic formats of social relation. Here, the earth is a necessary 'grounding' for plateaus. Second, this paper then builds on this through Guattari's concept of ecosophical subjectivity, arguing that through further engagement with Bateson, Guattari builds up what he refers to as the 'ethico-political' dimensions of his work. It concludes with the claim that as a key influence on several elements of their work, exploring Bateson in relation to Deleuze and Guattari can open up new understandings of their ideas, particularly with regards to the forms of 'earthliness' that they develop.

Despite the cold weather starting to draw in, many of the sides around Marlow were on red hot form. Big wins for Marlow FC and United, as well as some stunning displays from Marlow Hockey club feature in our round-up this week.
Let's kick it off with the football news – and after their 1-1 friendly draw, last week both Marlow United and Marlow FC enjoyed positive weekends.
United thumped Burghfield FC 6-1, meaning they are just two games away from a Madjeski Stadium final in the BTC Senior Cup.
It was goals galore in the first half as Darren Rockell got the scoring going inside the opening ten minutes and from there, Marlow dominated. Goals from Alan Mackie, Liam Bushay and Ollie Flint gave United a 4-0 lead heading into the break.
Second half goals from Hurst and O'Meally showed United's dominance, as they went 6-0 up, and even Burghfield's late consolation couldn't dampen the spirits of brilliant team performance.
United face Mortimer this weekend away from home.
Marlow FC continued their impressive form and grabbed yet another clean sheet as they won 3-0 against Ashford Town.
Kameron English got the ball rolling in the 13th minute for Marlow – but the away fans would have to wait until the final 10 minutes of the match to see any more goals.
Isaac Osei-Tutu doubled the Blue's lead – grabbing his second in as many games before Adam Richards rounded off the scoring with two minutes to play.
The win puts Marlow 3 points clear at the top of the table and will hope to stretch that further when they take on Hertford Town on Saturday.
Marlow men's first team beat Wallingford at home 2-1 with two excellent goals from Chris Sewell and James Ward. It was a tougher match than might have been expected with Wallingford forcing the pace in the first half which was goalless.
The ladies first team had no match, so Guildford went top of the league by winning the match they had in hand.
The Marlow juniors put in some convincing displays at Hampton at the weekend as they came away with four category wins – showing just a glimpse of what's in store for the rest of the season.
This weekend also saw the Leap BMK sports awards take place in Buckinghamshire.
The award aims to recognise and thank individuals and organisations who work so hard to help play sports happen and in turn contribute to improving the lives of local residents.
Marlow Hockey club had two nominees in highly successful coach Kate Porter and Hils Farrar-Hockley, ex vice chairman, and honorary life member of Marlow Hockey Club, who sadly passed away at the age of 63 recently.

I just moved to a new town and it is magical – infused with art and nature. I came with a strong intention of healing. I am more and more curious about the importance of interdependence and intentional community in this healing process. And the way that involvement in community arts can play a key role in healing for self and community.
I look forward to sharing some projects that are exploring these themes in the next couple blog posts.

I Cannot Wait To See What's Next In The Store For Me: Steve Smith After Winning The ICC Men's Test Player Of The Decade
Australian run-machine Steve Smith may be going through a rare lean patch currently but it is fair to say that the champion batsman has impinged himself as one of the greatest Test batsmen of all time.
Smith was recently adjudged the ICC 'Test Player of the Decade', an award he so richly deserved given his astounding consistency in the longest format of the game in the past 10 years.
During the time frame, the run-machine masquerading as a Test match batsman racked up as many as 7040 runs from 69 Tests at an average of 65.79 (Yup! That's right. Freeking 65.79) with the help of 26 hundreds, 28 half-centuries, and three double centuries.

These numbers look even more ridiculous given the fact that Smith wasn't a regular member of the Australian set-up till the 2013 Ashes and also because he lost 12 months of international cricket due to the ban he coped for his involvement in the ball-tampering scandal.
On Thursday, the Australian cricketer posted a heartfelt message on his Twitter account where he thanked everyone who supported him during the last decade besides adding that he is looking forward to the challenges that lie in front of him in the forthcoming years.
"Humbled to be named Test player of the decade. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me throughout my career so far," Steve Smith wrote.
"I've had a lot of fun, faced many challenges, learnt so much and now I can't wait to see what the next decade has in store for me," he added.

Meanwhile, Smith would be looking to kickstart the new decade with a bang by shrugging off his poor run-of-form in the ongoing Test series against India where he has thus far managed scores of- 1, 1*, 0, 8.

Briskly Italians
Alexander Weißgerber
May. 18, 2008 at 4:02 PM
The title of this news talks for two cars in the same way.
Both have been released today and are available here at games.reveur.de, too.
First of all I'm talking about an Alfa Romeo SZ. This car was already an addon in Mercedes-Benz World Racing but, until today we had no conversion for WR2. To change this TomWin converted this car but this time it's for World Racing 2.
Combined with a dash, high resolution textures and an all in all very good quality this addon also looks really nice in WR2.
The Alfa Romeo is one of the primary rocks in automobile history. There were only a limited number of cars built between 1989 and 1991 from the SZ (Sprint Zagato).
With its transaxle architecture and a V6 engine with 3.0 liter the car has 210 bhp and is definately not a bad one in World Racing 2.
And here we come to the second addon. This is also about Alfa Romeo and because of that also a brisky italian.
Known for his special and well done modifications and addons Stew2000 improved the stock Alfa Romeo 147 from World Racing 2. This means new rims and tweaks with the materials. The rims are available with and without brake discs to make them also able to plug on another car as addon rims.
Beside all those italian stuff there is also something interesting for all fans of car styling.
Again we got a nice vinyl from adamraga, which must be a part in our download section.
His former vinyl was inpired by a Porsche and this time the idea came from the Nissan 350Z Veilside from the movie "The Fast and The Furious - Tokyo Drift".

Scientists believe the next generation of radio telescopes being designed in New Mexico could watch planets form.
The Very Large Array (VLA) astronomical observatory gathers data about the universe that's light-years away. But newer models will be able to do much more than the existing ones.
"If we really want to hone in and zoom in on the formation of planets like our own, we really need a new facility with 10 times the sensitivity and 10 times the spatial resolution," said Chris Carilli, Chief Scientist at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO).
Carilli described the current Very Large Array's ability to view phenomena like planet formation as an out-of-focus television. The next generation of radio telescopes will be 10 times more powerful, with greater sensitivity and resolution.
"It's the difference between going for a jog and getting on a highway at 60 miles an hour, or getting on the highway and getting on a Boeing 747 at 600 miles an hour. So you can imagine how having an instrument 10 times more powerful really opens up opportunities for the scientists and how they want to use it," said Robert Selina, project engineer for the ngVLA.
Selina said the antennas of the ngVLA will gather 13,000 petabytes of data per month, equivalent to about 10 percent of the monthly global internet traffic.
The current Very Large Array was made famous in movies like "Contact" starring Jodie Foster, and "Terminator Salvation" starring Christian Bale. The iconic white antennas stand out for miles in the bright New Mexico desert.
The astronomical observatory sits atop a plain that's 7,000 feet above sea level and is located in a dry climate, which improves distant visibility. The telescopes can scan 80 percent of the sky at that line of latitude. They are also located in a remote area, away from major cities, which have cell phone and radio towers, airport air traffic control, and other signals that can interfere with the telescope's receivers.
The antennas are about 82 feet in diameter and weigh 230 tons each. The next generation telescopes will be 20 feet smaller in diameter. The 27 antennas will also expand to 250, but will spread from their current site to other locations in Texas and Mexico, which will allow it to have significantly higher resolution.
"It's kind of like a zoom lens on a camera. You can choose to zoom in on your camera and see fine detail and zoom out and get a very broad view. One of the things we want to do with ngVLA is get all those views at once," Selina said.
The current VLA site has captured stunning moments in our universe and many right here in our galaxy. One image shows hot gas erupting from a black hole as other galaxies twinkle in the background. Another shows the Crab Nebula, which is 6,000 light years away. It is images like these that prompted scientists to push for an upgrade to see what else in the galaxy they can find.
The NRAO has about $11 million to improve the telescopes in the next two years. But the expansion, which could happen in 2025, could cost about $1.5 billion.

You are here: Home / Condiments / Miso: The Rural Japanese Condiment
Miso can be made from different grains but the most common type is made with soybeans. It is a soybean paste fermented with salt. Miso was first made in ancient China according to some sources, while others say that it originated elsewhere.
The historians who believe that it comes from China say that it dates back to 4 BCE and began as a paste called jiang. This paste was the product of fermented soybeans and included animal proteins. The use of jiang began to spread to neighboring countries in 7 BCE. When it got to Japan, it became miso but the word miso did not appear until 800 CE. Miso evolved in Japan, with multiple regional variations. The industrial production of miso began there in the 1800s.
Another theory posits that miso came from Korea and that it was first made with tama, which are fermented miso balls. Still another theory is that miso originated with salt production during the Jomon period. Historians who advance this theory believe that the culture of making miso began and evolved naturally in Japan.
In the year 927, miso was mentioned as an ingredient in soup for wealthy people. Because it was expensive, it was used sparingly and was prized as a seasoning for fish and vegetables.
The miso soup that we know today became popular during the 14th and 15th centuries. Parties for making miso soup were a tradition at that time. At these parties, the host would prepare the soup and the guests would bring sides to be consumed with the soup.
Soy sauce became a more popular condiment in Japan's urban areas by the 1900s with most miso being limited to use in soup. Miso remained the more popular option in rural Japan throughout the 20th century. In recent years, it has become popular all over the world for the flavor and aroma that it gives to food.
Miso flavor profile
Miso gives food a rich umami flavor along with a strong dose of saltiness.
Health benefits of miso
Miso is world-renowned for its health benefits because it contains important nutrients like the following:
Minerals: Miso is a good source of important minerals including zinc and manganese.
Protein: Miso is a complete protein source because it contains all the amino acids your body needs for good health.
Probiotics: Because miso is fermented, it is full of bacteria that are beneficial for health.
Vitamins: The bacteria in miso make vitamins in your gut. The main vitamins that they synthesize are vitamin B12 and vitamin K.
Miso may be useful as a remedy or preventive measure for certain health issues, including these:
Cancer: Compounds found in soy are believed to lower cancer risk, especially stomach cancer. Other cancers that might be treated or prevented by consuming miso include lung and breast cancers.
High cholesterol: Bad cholesterol (also known as low-density lipoprotein) may be lowered with a diet containing miso, according to some animal studies.
Miso is very high in salt and should be consumed in moderation to avoid health issues associated with excessive salt intake.
Miso's strength is in its versatility. The traditional ways to use miso include as a flavoring for broths but some varieties of miso are great in salad dressings while others may be used in stews and marinades.
