Had a brief go at this but don't think I can really give it a rating since I haven't tried it in VR as intended. It is pretty though, are you considering doing a non-VR version?
Thanks for having a look at it anyways, much appreciated :) Coming in I knew there won't be a lot of reviews for this VR entry but just wanted to join and support the Jam as I like its purpose & message, plus its heaps fun and always a learning experience.
No plans for converting the project to a non-VR one as the core mechanics are tightly bound to VR interaction.

Chester, England rightly takes its place in horse racing history, the first recorded race dating back to 1539 during the reign of King Henry VIII. Known as the Roodee, the course is the oldest one still in use in England. The 2013 season ends this Saturday with a series of class 3 and class 4 stakes with prizes ranging from £8,000 to £50,000. Situated in the heart of Chester and easily accessible by road or rail, the course is signed from all the major routes into Chester on race days.
The nation's first memorial to SOF (Special Operations Forces) dogs is in place at the Airborne and Special Operations Museum in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Over 2,000 dogs serve in the U.S. military today, a tradition that began during World War II. Our canine soldiers participate in military operations around the globe, including combat zones where their skill in detecting bombs and attackers is indispensable. A life-size bronze of a Belgian Malinois in combat gear stands sentinel at the museum's parade grounds, opposite a statue of paratrooper Iron Mike.
Best family vacation. Best restaurants. Best nightlife. These are just a few of the sought-after superlatives for American cities. So how dismaying it must be for Wichita, Kansas to rise to numero uno on this list: the allergy capital of America. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, Wichita rises to best in show this year for autumn allergies due to very high pollen. To make matters worse, experts predict a longer and more severe allergy season because of heavy precipitation levels this past winter and the subsequent surge of warmer weather. Break out those hankies.
The Goldsmiths' Company, founded in London to regulate the craft and trade of the goldsmith, received its first royal charter in 1327. Thanks to its efforts you can be assured of the quality of gold, silver and more recently, platinum. The guild is housed in Goldsmiths' Hall, a hidden gem just northeast of St. Paul's Cathedral at the junction of Foster Lane and Gresham Street. The palatial-style building is never open to the public except during exhibitions and designated open days. That's why the Goldsmiths' Fair is a great opportunity to steep yourself in its long history. Taking place from 23 to 29 September and then from 1 to 6 October, the fair gives discerning collectors the world over a chance to meet the up-and-coming designers of jewelry and silverware design.
For nearly 185 miles the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, a National Historical Park, runs adjacent to the mighty Potomac River, winding its way between western Maryland and Georgetown. Used to transport goods and people prior to the advent of the railroad, its lock gates were an adaptation of a design by Leonardo DaVinci dating to the late 1400's. Today the C&O Canal is a peaceful refuge, offering activities like a mule-drawn canal boat ride from the Great Falls Tavern Visitor Center, private boat tours, hiking and biking opportunities, camping, nature walks and ranger programs.
Recently named in a travel magazine survey as the world's friendliest city, it isn't hard to see why the stretch of beaches comprising Brazil's Florianópolis earns it the nickname, the island of magic. About 450 miles southwest of Rio de Janeiro, this beachy destination easily gives glam spots like Ibiza or Punta del Este a run for their money. Originally renowned for its surfing holes like Joaquina, Praia Mole and Praia Brava, its cosmopolitan flair can't be missed on Jurerê Internacional, Canasvieiras, and Ingleses on the north end of the island, where domestic and international tourists mix and mingle in trendy beach bars and nightclubs. For a little more peace and tranquility, witness the traditional Azorean customs still practiced on the island's south end or visit the city centre for ample remnants of its colonial past. Whatever you do, prepare to be spellbound.

Wolfowitz to Advise on Iran's Nukes? Tell Me It Isn't So!
Arms control role for Wolfowitz
By Jane O'Brien BBC, Washington DC
Former World Bank chief Paul Wolfowitz has been appointed head of an influential panel advising the US government on arms control.
Mr Wolfowitz was ousted from the Bank last year over a scandal involving payments to his girlfriend, who was also a bank employee at the time.
He has long been a controversial figure in US and international politics.
As the Pentagon's number two after Donald Rumsfeld, he was one of the leading architects of the war in Iraq.
Sensitive issues
Mr Wolfowitz's insider status at the White House made him many enemies at home and abroad.
After a stormy two-year tenure at the World Bank, he was forced to leave because he authorised a large compensation package for his girlfriend.
His departure was further clouded by claims that he had tarnished the bank's reputation and strained relations with other countries - particularly in Europe.
His return to government comes at a time when many key figures of the Bush administration are leaving.
The State Department has confirmed his appointment as chairman of the International Security Advisory Board which provides the department with independent advice on arms control and disarmament.
Mr Wolfowitz will report on a number of current sensitive issues such as nuclear deals with India and North Korea, and Iran's contentious nuclear programme.
He is currently a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute - a conservative think-tank in Washington DC.
______________________________________________________________ Paul Wolfowitz has been wrong, seriously wrong, co-conspiratorially wrong in every job he has held in the Bush administration. He is as wild-eyed a supporter of Israel as probably anyone other than Louis Rene Beres and is a dangerous man to have chairing any committee that has the power to advise on Iranian-Israeli relations. Wolfowitz has been quoted on pre-emptive war, the unprovoked attack against suspected adversaries as follows;
"I think the premise of a policy has to be we can't afford to wait for proof beyond a reasonable doubt. That is a way in which any number of terrorist regimes have, over the last 20 years, gotten away with doing things that I think encourage more behavior of that kind. You can't wait until you have evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that somebody did something in the past, you know that people are planning to do something against you in the future and that they're developing incredibly destructive weapons to do it with and that's not tolerable."
If you parse those statements carefully, they all but freeze your blood. Wolfowitz sounds very much to me like the man Dick Cheney sees as giving him the argument he wants to go ahead and invade Iran. Why, one must ask, would any right-minded administration official appoint a guy with Wolfowitz's dead-wrong record at the Pentagon, to chair a committee as sensitive as the International Security Advisory Board? Is this some bizarre plan to confront Condoleeza Rice with the last still-standing (albeit on shaky legs) Cheney mandate? Wolfowitz no longer has any remaining scrap of international reputation, after having misled, misunderstood, misinterpreted and mismanaged the Iraq War as Donald Rumsfeld's co-conspirator. Although his girlfriend's employment contract was the cover for his being kicked out of the World Bank, the not-so-behind-the-scenes reasons were mismanagement, misleading and misunderstanding the Bank's role in the world--not made any more palatable by an extreme of arrogance. To say that Paul is not a team player is to understate the case. To say that he is the most dangerous and unbalanced choice possible for the position to which he has been appointed is an understatement as well.

8 Reasons Why Your Content Marketing Strategy May Suck
In the digital age, content is currency. Governments, brands and personalities the world over leverage content in a myriad of forms to shape opinions and shift paradigms.
It's no wonder then that content marketing is the most established form of digital marketing, even in the BB space, where % of BB companies said they use content marketing to engage with prospects and clients. And yet, the very same study shows that only % of companies are either having no success at all, or "minimal success" with content marketing. Furthermore, % consider their marketing efforts to be just "moderately successful."
Some industry experts reveal the five most common mistakes content marketers make — and tips on how to overcome them.
. You're Not Listening to Your Audience
First things first, be sure that you aren't producing content aimlessly. Identifying the right people to target is critical to get right as it will have a big impact on the content you create. Too many BB marketers are producing content for the sake of producing content, said Andy Zimmerman, CMO at Evergage. He believes many content marketers overlook how the content they produce will drive engagement and convert customers. Even if you re producing a ton of content — and even if it s great content — it doesn t matter if the right people aren t seeing it when they need to, Zimmerman said. It s essential that you focus on creating content that s relevant to your audiences.
While it may not be glamorous, organizing and tagging content — based on topics, categories, products, pain points, stages of the sales cycle, etc. — is critical. He said combining well-tagged content with behavioral analytics is essential to match assets to specific visitors effectively.
Article: CMOs discuss what the Voice of the Customer Means to Them
. You're Selling Too Much
Ensure you are creating content for each part of the buyer s journey. Creating content that converts is important but so is addressing each part of the sales funnel. Alex Birkett, senior growth marketing manager at HubSpot, sees far too many content marketers focusing too much on content with hard sells. You often see small businesses leaning too much on bottom of the funnel content, he said. …they only want to produce content that drives sales.
Topics at the bottom of the funnel explain why to buy your product or why your product is better than competitors. These are really bottom of the funnel topics that no one is really searching for, Birkett said. You also need top of the funnel content like thought leadership pieces that are interesting and informative enough to bring in readers. He said hard sell topics significantly limit the outreach potential of your content.
. You're Not Selling Enough
On the other hand, and far more common, said Birkett, there are content marketers who focus way too much on the top of the funnel. These topics may be informative and bring in readers, but they barely touch upon the fact that you re selling something. He believes these content marketers are driven by this apprehension or this fear of being too pushy or salesy .
That s why Birkett said, It shouldn't be a well-guarded secret that the company is trying to sell a product or service. You need bottom of the funnel content to convert readers and drive real results.

. You Don't Have a Content Strategy
Before you publish a piece of content, you need to know who you're targeting, which keywords you'll include, and how that content fits into your sales funnel. One of the most common pitfalls we see in BB content marketing is a phenomenon that I call blind blogging, said Chris Mechanix, CEO of WebMechanix. Many content marketers produce a lot of content, but see minimal SEO gains because they don t have a content strategy.
Mechanix said, you have to start with a strategy and the basic building block of any strategy is keyword research, so before you ever put pen-to-paper, you should be doing pretty extensive keyword research. From there, he continued, you want to categorize them in certain themes, and then focus on one theme for an entire month working top-down along the sales funnel. If you follow this strategy, you send a really strong signal to the search engines that this website is very relevant for this topic, he said.
. You're Not Repurposing Content
Your content's lifecycle shouldn't end when you hit the publish button, it should begin. If you re not repurposing your content, then you re not investing your time and money very wisely, declared Zimmerman.
If you follow the content strategy Mechanix revealed earlier, you can go back to those four or five pieces and stitch them together and repackage or repurpose them into a more premium content piece, which you can then promote and advertise on each of the individual pieces.
Birkett, on the other hand, thinks rehashing content adds noise and it s generally not as effective as case studies make it seem. While reusing content may be essential, he believes you need to use your best judgement and doesn t recommend doing it just because everybody else does.
. You're Not Using the Latest Tools
Marketing technology martech alone won't make your content succeed, but it can certainly help. Birkett recommends taking advantage of the latest tools, which leverage predictive analytics and artificial intelligence AI, and can comb through all available content to surface the most relevant items for each individual visitor. Rather than sharing content with your audience indiscriminately, Zimmerman adds, you can drive better engagement and more conversions by using AI to figure out, in milliseconds, which items to present to which audience members across channels.
This is the future of content marketing — applying leading-edge technology to map the type of content and even the format of the content to the individual visitor, Zimmerman said. Follow these strategies, and get on board with new technology, and you can avoid the most frequent content marketing mistakes and provide a better digital experience for your audience.
. You Don't Have C-Suite Buy-In
As Paige O'Neill explained during Sitecore Experience , C-Suite buy-in, communication and support are absolutely vital to content marketing success. Yet, "% of CEOs either don t trust or are unimpressed with their CMO," she said.
So, before you worry about martech tools and bottom-of-funnel content, ask your C-Suite about each department's commitment to content marketing, their take on the content marketing budget, and ensure they're aware of how content can help them achieve their departmental goals.
. You Simply Haven't Done Enough Yet
The Content Marketing Institute study mentioned earlier also found that as an organization grows in content marketing maturity, its level of content marketing success is likely to increase.
In other words, you may need to factor in the age of your content marketing campaign. Have you been publishing content for more than a year? Have you experimented with video content, , webinars and other forms of content marketing? Do you have dedicated team members or agency partners producing, distributing and repurposing content regularly?
If you're responding negatively to the questions above, the answer to your content marketing woes may just be, "do more."
So, take more time to mature your content marketing strategy by publishing more content, experimenting more, getting serious about your investment into content marketing and analyzing the results.

Pastors have an important ministry of interruptions. We should never be too busy with the important work of ministry to minimise contact with our flock.
Are You Too Busy for People?
Does anyone ever say to you, "I don't want to bother you; I know you're busy"? Sometimes, we can get so bogged down in doing what we perceive as the important work of ministry that we give off the sign that we cannot be interrupted by the pastoral needs of our people. I have to admit this is something I struggle with. There is always so much to do: sermon writing and delivery, leading worship, teaching Bible studies, praying, attending business meetings, administration and so on. Often my response to an interruption is too often impatience, defensiveness and even fear that I will run out of time.
Productivity gurus will suggest we should try to eliminate interruptions. Deep work requires focus and interruptions destroy that focus. Research tells us it takes 25 minutes or more to recover from an interruption. Those the emphasise pastoral ministry might suggest it is wrong to try to eliminate interruptions, that it is a dereliction of pastoral duty to set appropriate boundaries around your time.
I believe that for certain work, especially deep work like sermon and worship preparation, eliminating interruptions is a good thing. I try to do this work at home in my study if I can, to give me an opportunity to focus and concentrate. But if, like me, you agree interruptions can have a negative impact on your work, then you may be tempted to place boundaries around other kinds of work. The problem with that is that you end up being "too busy" for people. Is this a case of a rightful concern for your ministry as a whole, or simply a way to avoid people?
The important ministry of interruptions ensures that our own hearts are not captured by the "important" tasks of ministry at the cost of failing to lead like Jesus, who put into practice ordinary, unglamorous tasks like showing hospitality, washing feet, sharing meals and just talking with people.
My prayer is that God will guard my heart against my own sense of self-importance and help me to grow in love, compassion and hospitality. Help me not to react to interruptions with impatience and defensiveness, but to see the important ministry of interruptions in just stopping and listening and caring for people. Will you join me in this prayer?

Is The Binding of Isaac Coming to the 3DS?
Eder Campuzano
December 30, 2011 5:00 PM EST
News3DS
Well, cry me a river: Team Meat's The Binding of Isaac could see a Nintendo 3DS release. According to game co-creator Edmund McMillen, if another developer wants to take on the task of porting the game for the handheld, it's all theirs. In fact, he says there's a company that's already asking Nintendo if it would be okay to do so.
In a game where you defeat enemies with your tears (no, seriously) and the maps and enemies generate randomly for every playthrough, it seems like this would be quite the task for anyone willing to try and make the game work on the 3DS.
John reviewed the game when it became available on Steam. He also hasn't stopped talking about it since.

The #1 guide to the subtleties of French roulette!
In a previous article, we talked about the characteristics and subtleties of American roulette. Now were going to take a look in the same way at another variant of the popular game of roulette, French roulette. If you consider yourself an aficionado of this particular casino game, then this is an article you do not want to miss.
French Roulette is the earliest form of roulette, originally devised by Blaise Pascal. Born in 1623, Pascal was a French mathematician, physicist and inventor. He's famous for inventing the first calculator the 'Pascaline', having a unit of measurement named after him and of course the early form of the roulette wheel, which was originally designed while he was researching perpetual motion. It was this design that would later come to be used by the casino operators and loved by millions of players all over the world. This original version of roulette is the most widely seen variant throughout popular culture, famously featured in the 1942 cult film 'Casablanca' as well as television shows such as 'I love Lucy' and the original 'Mission: Impossible' series from the 1960's.
French Roulette has a 'plate' in the shape of a wheel, embedded into which are thirty-seven non-chronological slots numbered from 0 to 36. Just as in American roulette, French roulette slots are also colored alternately red and black. French Roulette is also particularly well known for a certain special slot on the wheel too.
Does it have Zero influence on the game?
French Roulette differs from its American counterpart in that there's no double zero slot. It still has the single zero slot, coloured green to distinguish it from the rest, and it works in the same way as bets placed on numbers 1-36. A bet on or including the zero slot will force the dealer to repay the players initial bet and/or profit if it lands.
In French roulette, casinos also offer 2 different types of chance to win back your money if the ball lands on the zero slot. These chances are only applicable to what are known as 'even money' bets e.g. even/odds, high/low or red/black. These chances or actions are known as 'La Partage' (the split) or 'En Prison' (in prison) and the casino or table you play at will offer either one or the other.
La Partage (The Split): If you were to place an 'even money' bet and the ball was to land in the zero slot, then 'la partage' (the split) is enacted. This automatically gives you back half your initial stake and the dealer takes the other half for the house and the game continues. This is particularly interesting because it reduces the house edge on these 'even money' bets to 1.35% and can be of benefit to someone using the 'Martingale' betting system.
En Prison (In Prison): Alternatively, if you were to place an 'evens bet' and the ball was to land in the zero slot, the dealer will invoke the 'en prison' (in prison) rule which is essentially 'double or quits'. You get a chance to recover your initial stake. The dealer will leave your half of the previous bet where it is and on the next spin if the ball lands in your favor then you claim back your initial wager in full, if not then you lose it all.
Playing French roulette can be advantageous in the sense that it allows for a wide range of actions and bets, some of which are only specific to this particular variant. The most lucrative bets in French roulette are bets on the 'final' numbers (0, 10, 20 and 30) and 'orphan' numbers (1.6, 9, 14, 17, 20, 31 and 34). The full bet, 'horse' and 'cross' are also attractive as they can generate wins of between eleven and thirty-five times the amount of the initial bet. Beware though because betting on the 'tie' or the 'dozen' numbers is not as productive in French roulette as in other variants. Thus French roulette really requires a sound understanding of knowledge and experience if you want to get the most benefit.

Stagione

Verso la Serie B
Nella primavera del 1928 i fascisti si convinsero a dare il via libera a quei due aspetti delle riforme progettate quasi tre anni prima che avevano bloccato per dare priorità all'inserimento del calcio meridionale nel pieno sistema calcistico nazionale. Se da un lato si prospettava il girone unico dal 1929, dall'altro si ampliavano gli organici dei gironi in modo da occupare un numero più consono di domeniche, aumentando gli incassi. Venne ripreso lo schema a tre campionati a gestione nazionale concepito dall'Assemblea federale del 1925, modificandolo solo portando a girone unico anche la cadetteria e inserendo in ogni torneo la propria rappresentanza meridionale.

Se in una prima bozza la Prima Divisione avrebbe messo a disposizione otto posti per la Serie B di cui sei per il Nord, la decisione finale di selezionare già nel 1928 tutti i club per la Divisione Nazionale lasciò alla Prima Divisione Nord solo 3 posti per la cadetteria. Degradato già di fatto il torneo, si procedette quindi già anche ad allargarlo, passando a gironi da 14 squadre per un totale di 42 club; ciò permise inoltre di recuperare nel DDS quasi tutte le squadre della ex Lega Nord che ne erano state escluse nei convulsi cambiamenti del 1926. L'organico di questo di fatto nuovo torneo ebbe dunque natura perfettamente mista: 21 club dalla precedente Prima Divisione, e l'altra metà esatta dalla Seconda Divisione.

Formula
Quarantatré squadre suddivise in tre gironi interregionali costruiti su criteri geografici. Le vincitrici dei raggruppamenti accedono alla Serie B e si contendono il titolo di categoria. Nel regolamento originale le ultime due di ogni girone, le ultime tre in quello col Grion in sovrannumero, dovevano retrocedere scambiandosi con le vincitrici dei 7 gironi della Seconda Divisione.

Abbott Sued for unconstitutional DSHS deal
A lawsuit has been filed by 5 people against the Texas Governor Greg Abbott. The original Complaint is to invalidate the contact tracing contract between MTX Group, Inc. and the State of Texas.
The first complaint to invalidate the contract is that DSHS did not follow bidding rules in rushing to award the MTX contract. Secondly, to invalidate the contract is that the Texas Constitution requires a separation of powers, and that separation leaves policy-making decisions with the Texas legislature, stating "These decisions are not changed by pandemics". The Texas Supreme Court recently stated, "The Constitution is not suspended when the government declares a state of disaster."
The Constitution is not suspended when the government declares a state of disaster
Mike Lang, Kyle Biederman, William Zedler, Steve Toth, and Bob Hall have filed this law suit.The Texas Legislature had no opportunity to review the final proposal before Abbott authorized it in May. Bob Hall questioned MTX's ability: "You don't go from a $1 to 2 million contract company to managing a $300 million contract just because you want to do that," he told KTVT.
Other news outlets have reported on privacy violations associated with MTX: in May, it "mistakenly uploaded" job training documents. The Contractor MTX CEO Das Nobel also lied that he held a doctorate from Colorado Technical University on his LinkedIn bio, a statement he then redacted. Abbot should have enough sense to not deal with this contractor, but, the question is, "does Abbott not realize what this looks like".
Mike Lang is one of the group suing Abbott. First Abbott endorsed Mike Lang then he flipped to endorse Lang's opponent Jack Wilson. Lang said, "someone needs to stand up to Abbott and "tyranny." (Hood County openly defies state health orders, claiming a loophole.) Most of Abbots recent endorsements have not won elections.
Many are calling governor Abbott, a Rhino. His is certainly making enemies on both sides of the aisle. The Texas Federation of Republican Women (TFRW) called Abbott's Mandatory mask order "an overreach of power".
we reported on this MTX contract, when we pointed out that this contractor is authorized to inflate the Covid-19 cases


Celebrate back to school with a field trip! We can bring a field trip to you, or you can join us on a field trip near Santa Barbara and Ventura, just an hour from Los Angeles. Hands-on field trips are a great way for kids to learn and grow with one another as the school year progresses. Santa Barbara Adventure Company has been running group trips and outdoor education for over 20 years. All of our trips have a large learning component, we love the outdoor classroom! Field trips can be customized to meet Common Core standards, CA standards, or any curriculum. Trip options are completely customizable to fit your needs, let us help you take care of the details.
what they'll learn: The real question is what WON'T they learn? The Channel Islands are home to some of the richest biodiversity on earth. Guides will give interpretation regarding the Santa Barbara Channel, one of the most biodiverse and productive ocean systems in the world, as well as the national marine sanctuary in our backyard. Students will have a chance to get a close-up look at marine invertebrates and other sea dwellers.
Santa Barbara's Refugio State Beach is a great spot for a short paddle, and super fun beach day. Located on rural and undeveloped coastline, this is a beautiful area rich with marine life. This activity will give the students the opportunity to learn first hand about kelp beds, the coastline, marine environment and California's State Park system. We often see dolphins, sea lions and other marine life while on the water. This is also one of the closest state beaches outside of the Malibu/L.A. area — and it's a beautiful one!
what they'll learn: Kelp Forests are one of the most productive and dynamic ecosystems on the Earth! What better way to learn about this biome than to see it first hand? The Gaviota Coast provides an excellent backdrop to discuss marine life. Guides will also discuss California's natural and human history.
Through various individual and group challenges, students will build confidence in themselves and others and learn skills that will translate well into many life experiences, teambuilding and challenge skills. This is great for problem-solving and stepping outside of their comfort zone. Everything is challenge-by-choice. This is also one of the closest ropes course options to L.A. and Santa Barbara.
what they'll learn: High Ropes Course consists of a series of group initiatives focusing on the development of communication methods, trust and problem solving techniques. Through active experimentation, reflection, and application of skills, participants explore the complex and transformative meanings of trust, cooperation, and thinking outside the box, all of which culminate into a unique bonding experience. Throughout this challenge-by-choice program, skilled facilitators guide discussions that directly address parallels to school, work and life.
The most epic of them all – sea cave kayaking at Santa Cruz Island in Channel Islands National Park is a full day adventure full of fun challenges.
what they'll learn: They'll be able to challenge themselves by going in and out of sea caves, exploring the marine sanctuary, playing kayak games and more. The sea caves have been created over 1000s of years and guides explain how the islands came to be the way they are today. See the endemic island fox, marine mammals and more.
Release their inner Californian! Our certified instructors are great with kids, and most people "get up" within their first hour of learning. Instructors focus on providing students with the fundamentals: reading the water, paddling, and standing up. Combine this with lunch and other beach activities and it's the best field trip activity.
what they'll learn: A new sport that they can enjoy for a lifetime. We provide all the gear and instruction, students just have to come ready to learn and have fun.
What are some of your favorite field trips or games to play on a field trip? Let us know in the comments!

Russian Minister Sergei Lavrov leaves G20 after disdain for photos
Louie Daves July 8, 2022 3 min read
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stormed and returned home early after being scorned by other diplomats in G20 Summit – Who refused to take a group photo with him about his country's invasion of Ukraine.
The foreign ministers who met in Bali, Indonesia, this week, did not take a group photo along the lines of the traditional "family", after several of them reportedly refused to take a picture with Vladimir Putin's top envoy.
Japan's Kyodo News Agency She reported that US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken led the photo boycott.
Blinken and other Western officials also decided to skip Thursday's reception because Lavrov was there. Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said she understood and respected their decision.
"We are talking about trying to create a comfortable situation for everyone," Marsudi told reporters.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken ignored Lavrov during the meetings, then publicly accused Russia of stealing Ukrainian grain.

When journalists asked him why there was no group photo, Lavrov snapped: "I didn't invite anyone to take a picture with me."
The high-level summit in Bali was dominated by the Ukrainian war and its impact on food and energy security, and was discussed in almost all bilateral meetings.
At the beginning of the day's events, shouts of "when are you going to stop the war" and "why don't you stop the war" were heard as Lavrov shook hands with Marsudi, marking the ominous beginning of his rudeness.
Lavrov has walked out of the session at least twice and was planning to leave the summit on Friday.

Lavrov complained that Western ministers "almost immediately got lost, as soon as they took the floor, because of the rabid criticism of the Russian Federation regarding the situation in Ukraine."

"Aggressors", "invaders", "occupiers" – we heard a lot of things today, "said Lavrov.
Despite sitting at the same conference table for the first time since the invasion of Ukraine on February 24, Blinken and Lavrov visibly ignored each other.
Lavrov – who was speaking here to Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi – complained that Western diplomats had engaged in "frenzied criticism" of Russia.
"As you know, it was not we who gave up all contacts," Lavrov told reporters after the first session. It was the United States. That's all I can say. And we don't run after anyone who proposes meetings. If they don't want to talk, that's their choice."
When it was his turn to speak, Blinkin openly accused Russia of stealing millions of tons of Ukrainian grain.
Addressing Russia directly, he said to our Russian colleagues: Ukraine is not your country. His pills are not your pills. Why are the ports blocked? Said an unnamed Western official.
The official said Lavrov was not in the room at the time.
Reportedly, Blinken (left) led a boycott against taking a traditional group photo because he and other diplomats did not want to take a picture with Lavrov.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba addressed the meeting virtually, claiming that Russia was playing the "Hunger Games" through its blockade of Ukraine's Black Sea port.
Ukraine's ambassador to Indonesia said Lavrov left the room again during his speech.
After a chaotic fit of taking photos, Lavrov indicated his intention to leave the summit early.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told the German news agency (dpa) that Lavrov will be absent from the afternoon meetings and the official dinner on Friday evening.
The EU foreign policy chief said Lavrov was not present for most of the afternoon session and left the room after making his remarks.

Josep Borrell told reporters that Lavrov spoke and did not wait to hear further remarks, in a behavior that "was not very respectful."

Sansevieria roxburghiana is an evergreen Perennial growing to 1 m (3ft 3in) by 1 m (3ft 3in) at a fast rate.
See above for USDA hardiness. It is hardy to UK zone 10.
Suitable for: light (sandy) and medium (loamy) soils and prefers well-drained soil. Suitable pH: neutral and basic (mildly alkaline) soils. It can grow in semi-shade (light woodland) or no shade. It prefers dry or moist soil and can tolerate drought.
Acyntha roxburghiana (Schult. & Schult.f.) Kuntze Cordyline roxburghiana (Schult. & Schult.f.) Merr. Sansevieria zeylanica Roxb.
It has various traditional uses and recently various pharmacological uses are pursuing. Traditionally it is used as a cardiotonic, expectorant, febrifuge, purgative, tonic in glandular enlargement and rheumatism etc. The plant is known to possess antitumor, antibacterial, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant and analgesic activity. It contains carbohydrates, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, carotenoids gallic acid, palmitic acid, caft aric acid, isorahmnitin-3-O-ß-D glucopyranoside, buphanidine, diethyl ph thalate, 6-methyl-1-octanol, 3,3-dimethylhexanal, proteins, and phytosterols. It also contains a rare homoisoflavonoid Cambodianol.
A good quality fibre is obtained from the leaves[454 ]. The fibre is pliant, soft, and silky[454 ]. The natural elasticity of the fibre makes it suitable for making bowstrings[454 ]. The fibre is used for the preparation of cordage and matting in the regions where it occurs, and is much valued in Europe for ropes used in deep-sea dredging[454 ]. It has been used for making paper, but is too expensive a fibre for this use[454 ]. The fibre is usually prepared by taking the fresh leaves and placing one of them on a smooth board which is raised at one end. The lower end of the leaf is then pressed down by the toe of the workman, who squats on the plank, and with a blunt knife, or piece of iron plate scrapes upward along the surface of the leaf and thus deprives it of its fleshy pulp by successive scrapings, turning the leaf over and over, as may be necessary. When the pulp is thoroughly removed, the fibre is washed for three or four minutes, and dried in the shade[454 ]. Washing in brackish or salt water, or continuous soaking in water is said to destroy the glossy white appearance of this fibre[454 ]. Industrial Crop: Fiber.
Industrial Crop: Fiber Management: Hay Minor Global Crop
Subtropical to tropical climate in semi-arid to humid locations. Requires a sunny position in a well-drained soil[200 ]. Prefers a pH in the range 6 - 7[200 ]. Established plants are very drought tolerant[200 ]. The plant can spread freely at the roots.
Industrial Crop: Fiber Clothing, rugs, sheets, blankets etc. Currently, almost none of our fiber are produced from perennial crops but could be!
Management: Hay Cut to the ground and harvested annually. Non-destructive management systems maintaining the soil organic carbon.
Minor Global Crop These crops are already grown or traded around the world, but on a smaller scale than the global perennial staple and industrial crops, The annual value of a minor global crop is under $1 billion US. Examples include shea, carob, Brazil nuts and fibers such as ramie and sisal.
Seed - Division of the rootstock. Leaf cuttings. Cut the leaf into sections about 5cm long, place in a 2:1 mix of sand and peat in a propagating case with a bottom heat of 18°c[200 ].
Common name: Indian Bowstring Hemp, Bowstring Hemp • Hindi: Marul, Murahri, Murva • Kannada: Heggurutike • Malayalam: Hatukapel • Marathi: Murhari • Sanskrit: Muruva • Tamil: Marul-kalang • Telugu: Ishaura-koda-udr

Last week, on a surprise visit to see family, Mom made a couple of dishes that I normally don't cook myself. One of them is this Chinese Fried Sticky Rice Cake Noodle dish (long name!) In Chinese, it's called 炒年糕 Chǎo Nián Gāo.
The recipe is from my Dad's hometown of NingBo in China.
Nian Gao can also mean sticky rice cakes that are fried in egg (savory) or fried with sugar (sweet). The Shanghainese and Korean version (TteokGuk photo) of nian gao is this recipe, where they take the glutinous rice cakes, cut them into ovals 2 inches long, 1 inch wide, and stir fry them like noodles.
You can find these rice cake noodles at Asian markets, either dried form (in the dried noodle section), frozen or in the refrigerated noodle section. Mom likes to buy frozen rice cake noodles, as they keep well in the freezer. They have to be soaked for 2 hours up to overnight in water. Purchase either the Korean or Chinese version, they are the same.
Mom used mustard greens that she had salted overnight, but I've given easier instructions in the recipe to use Napa Cabbage.
and Pork marinated in soy, rice wine, pepper, cornstarch and a pinch of sugar.
The pork is first stir-fried until almost cooked through.
Then add the Chinese mushrooms.
Add in the bamboo shoots.
Season with a bit of soy sauce. Taste first and add more if needed.
Add in the drained rice cakes.
Pour in 1/4 cup of chicken broth or vegetable broth, cover, turn heat to low and let cook for 2-3 minutes until the rice cakes are softened.
1. In a large bowl, soak the rice cakes according to the instructions in the headnotes. If you are using dried Chinese black mushrooms, in a small bowl, soak the dried Chinese mushrooms for 2 hours or up to overnight until softened. If you are using fresh shiitake mushrooms, skip this step.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the 2 tsp soy sauce, black pepper, sugar, rice wine, cornstarch together. Mix in the pork and marinate for 20 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
3. When you are ready to cook, have all of your ingredients ready. Drain the rice cakes. Drain the mushrooms and slice into very thin slices.
4. Heat a wok or large saute pan over high heat. When hot, swirl in the cooking oil. Add the pork and cook until browned and almost cooked through.
5. Add in the mushrooms and the bamboo shoots, stir fry for 1 minute. Add in the cabbage and stir fry for 2 minutes. Mix in the soy sauce.
6. Add in the rice cakes and toss very well. Pour in the broth, cover and lower the heat to medium-low. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the rice cakes have browned a little and are softened. The sticky rice cakes will be just slightly chewy (but not hard to chew) similar to pasta cooked al-dente. Taste and add in additional soy sauce if needed. Serve immediately.
Can't wait to try this recipe! Had a similar dish at a restaurant with my eldest niece; since then, we've both been dreaming of making it ourselves. I'd love to make it for my parents; my Mum's Chinese, but this wasn't in her repertoire when I was a kid. (I bet it's because these rice cakes weren't easily available in Canada in the '70s and '80s.) Thank you so much for including the prep info whether dried, frozen or fresh! As well, the comments are so helpful with other ideas!
Question, though: what rice wine would you suggest? Mum never used that either, so it's not part of my own pantry… yet. Would Kikkoman Aji Mirin do the trick? Thx!
Hi Janine – Rice wine is a spirit, and can be found at any Asian market. If you cant find, you can substitute with dry sherry cooking wine.
Aji Mirin is SWEET rice wine (which is used in Japanese cooking), and is not the same!
Happy New Year! We eat this regularly. Would love to connect with you and others whose families come from Ningbo like mine!
I'm making chao nian gao for a lunch potluck on Friday for work, but I have to make this the night before. How do I prepare it so that they don't stick together the next day? My plan was to cook them, add extra sesame oil, and then reheat them in the microwave in the office?? Any tips??
Hi Stephanie – You'll be fine, no need to add extra sesame oil. Microwave is perfect!
I am Chinese American and worked in Korea for a couple of years. I never encountered these noodles growing up in Hawaii (Cantonese cooking dominates) but it was a staple in Korea. Tok is the noodle and Guk means it is a soup. I buy fresh but freeze to make it keep. In soup I just through it in. I encountered this fried in a Chinese restaurant in Boston and my son who lived near Shanghai said it was a chinese noodle. I think when I used it fried I boiled it for a couple of minutes before draining and frying.
If you don't have time to wait for the rice cake you can also boil them for about 10 few minutes. I'm korean and i put them in soups, we just dump them in the water..
I haven't had 年糕 in YEARS!
I was at my local Korean market and for the life of me, I could not find Chinese rice wine. I looked in the cooking section next to all the vinegar and even the booze section. Nope! Asking them? That made them confused and then it confused me even more. I read you can use Shao Xing rice wine, which they don't have either.
Where can I find dry sherry? Can I find it at my local grocery store? Will it be okay if I just omit it all together??
CORRECTION. Just read what I submitted and found the last line needs correction. 年糕 sounds like "Year High" but really and actually means (New) "Year Cake". sorry.
I've just prepared a similar dish using green beans, dried chilies and a mushroom flavored soy sauce mixed with Black Bean and Garlic sauce. A very fine meal!
As a shortcut when using the dried cakes, I soak them for two hours in hot water and then boil them for 15 minutes before stir frying. It makes for a dense, rubbery chewiness that isn't perfect but still very good!
Like the other Koreans who have commented, I also had only used rice cakes to make soup (tteokguk), so I'm thrilled to find another use for them (since my freezer is always stocked with rice cakes). I tried this recipe tonight and true to Jaden's form, it was quick, easy, and delicious. Unfortunately, my two picky-eater toddlers didn't like the mushrooms or cabbage, so next time I'll have to substitute with vegetables they DO like (not many!).
BTW, the Steamy Kitchen cookbook has become my "go-to" cookbook in the house. It is my absolute favorite among many, many cookbooks I own. When is the second one coming out?!
This was delicious. Thanks for the recipe, I've been craving it since I had it at my favorite restaurant.
eeks! you're right – I misspelled!
Would love to connect with you and others whose families come from Ningbo like mine!
My husband is Chinese, and he says this is just as good as — "if not better"–than his mom's nian gao. We actually prefer the fresh shiitake mushrooms to the reconsituted black Chinese mushrooms. Thanks for posting this delicious and deceptively easy recipe!
I'm looking forward to trying this. I bought the rice cakes, so I'm good to go. But, I was wondering if you could explain how your mom makes it with the salted mustard greens? I love any kind of greens, and I think this way sounds extra delicious. Thanks!
I soaked my noodles for hours and when I stir fried them they got harder and harder as I cooked them instead of softer. What did I di wrong. I was using the frozen Korean type. Help!
Hi there – hmmm, they should have been just fine. I wonder what the directions say on the package?
Thanks so much for developing this recipe because it gave me the courage to cook a dish that I normally order in a restaurant, but do not make at home. Admittedly, I'm accustomed to the way the dish tastes in the restaurants and found your recipe to be different than what I've been used to. Not to fear, I truly enjoy your recipes and will continue expanding my horizons with your help.
This is my favorite Chinese dish and my grandma taught me how to make it before I left for college! I try to make it at least once a month it is just so delicious and you can play with different ingredients/variations!
Thanks Katherine, nice to meet yoU!
We had the same plates growing up, too!!!!
I try Shanghainese "nian gao" before, but I still prefer the traditional sweet "nian gao". Specially wrap with batter and deep fry together with sweet potato.
My local "supermarket" (though it's not so super) is lacking. If I used chicken broth, will that alter the flavor drastically? Or can I get away with it?
Yum! This is one of the favourites of me when my husband's father visits. Your pictures recall good memories and are making me very, very hungry, hehe.
I have only had these rice cakes in Korean soup and I love them…somehow they remind me of my grandmother's dumplings. I have never had them fried though; that should take them up several levels!! Thanks for the recipe!
Would love to make this vegetarian. What would be a good substitute for the pork? Tofu? Portabella mushroom?
Looks delicious! Rice cakes are always a hit!
I love this dish! My parents know it's one of my favorites so they always make it when I go home. I love the slightly sticky, chewy texture of the nian gao.
So pleased to see our paths will cross again this May at the Blogher Food conference! Looking forward to breaking bread with you once again.
OMG. My parents have the same plates. Yum! Can't wait to try this.
Rice cakes are one of the things I miss most from living in Chinatown! Thanks so much for reminding me of them and teaching me how to make them.
Quick question: why would fresh ones have to be soaked first? Is it to start cooking them (but then I assume the water would have to be warm?) or just to rehydrate them?
The fresh rice cakes still need to be soaked because they are so dense and thick. The soaking water should just be regular cool tap water. You could cook them in hot water for a few minutes instead of soaking them in cool water for 2 hours, but the texture would be just a bit different.
That's it. I want to meet your mother.
Growing up Korean, I've had tteokguk countless times, but I never knew the Chinese used this kind of rice cake. This will surely become another way to use them up in my house….thanks!
Thanks, my husband's family is from Ningbo as well and it's a favorite dish that I don't know how to make! I'm excited to try your recipe.
I love rice cakes but never tried making them at home. Now it looks like I'll have to at least give it a shot! Looks great, thanks!
Wow, Jaden this sounds delicious. Have to try this one with a little twist of course because I have to be careful of my sugar levels. Looking at recipe i think most of the flavor must be coming from the veggies and pork rather than the minimal spices. Thanks for sharing.
odd… never seen this kind of dish here in manila… we usually have nian gao during CNY… fresh, dipped in scrambled egg and fried. they are made sweet. i've never seen then dried or frozen here, even off season.
LOVE,love your website,the step by step instructions,so easy to fallow!Thank YOU!!
This has to be one of my favorite dishes, comfort food for sure. My chinese mom who makes most things from scratch and cooks elaborate 8 course meals thinks it's much easier to order this when we go out than to make it at home for some reason. I just had some from Joe Shanghai's in NYC along with some delcious soup dumplings of course.
After having a dish similar to this at a local Shanghainese restaurant I was hooked. Rice cakes are so much fun to eat as they are tasty! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe! Also thanks to your mom!! Yay!
Thank goodness I have you! This sounds amazing!
Can you believe I've never had this? My mom never made this sort of this. I've seen it in the stores and restaurants but for some reason there were always other noodles that we picked over these. They're kind of chewy, aren't they?
Jaden, this reminds me of the nian gao my mom made when I was growing up. I love homemade Chinese food, and miss a lot of the foods my parents used to cook, including this dish. During my recent visit home, I made copies of a bunch of my mom's hand written recipes, many for Chinese homemade rice and sticky rice cakes of all sorts, what a treasure. The older my mom gets, the more I treasure all those recipes and the ones that are in her head. I'm trying to get her to write down as many as she can so I will have them for generations to come.
My favorite dish next to beef chow fun. Got to pick up the nian goh now…mmmmmmm…can't wait. Thanks for the recipe!
Bet we could find those rice cakes at one of our local markets. It looks like a really filling meal but with lots of veggies. Like that a lot!


What is the position of the SDA church concerning abortion? What is done with gestational tissue when an abortion is done at Loma Linda for example?
In light of the Planned Parenthood selling body parts what is the SDA's stance?
Their distinctive rites include worshiping on Saturday, the seventh day of the week as opposed to Sunday, an emphasis on the Second Coming of Christ and an emphasis on following Jewish dietary laws concerning abstinence from pork, shellfish and other foods proscribed as "unclean" in the Old Testament. The denomination is known for its emphasis on health. Alcohol and tobacco are prohibited and many Adventists are vegetarians.
But the denomination may be the only theologically conservative Protestant group that allows elective abortions. Many of their own members didn't know that their worldwide hospital network performed the procedure, which has been quite the discussion on the Adventists for Life Facebook page. A number of posters were shocked to learn the denomination's stance.
Without offering any proof, Richards repeatedly told Stephanopoulos that Daleiden's group is part of the pro-life movement that has murdered abortionists and bombed abortion clinics. She also accused Daleiden's group of editing the 2.5-hour videos, as if news organizations like ABC only ever run raw footage of interviews.
The first video, released only two weeks ago, showed a Planned Parenthood doctor casually eating her salad and sipping wine while talking about baby body parts. The video shocked the nation. The second video from last week showed another Planned Parenthood executive haggling over the price of baby body parts and joking that she wanted "a Lamborghini" in exchange for baby organs.
Most medical devices in use today did not exist in EGW's time, she would not have been in a position to recommend them.
World-wide average lifespan has close to doubled since 1900, something is going drastically right.
Have you ever thought about what could have been if we had followed what the Bible says instead of those humanistic ways.
I have not found the text but it says that a man a 100 years would be like a youth.I know it was a conditional Prophecy but we can see what God could do if we but follow Him and forsake the humanistic ways.
Isa 65:20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.
The Bible says nothing about lasers and MRIs. Even the few of us who follow Bible health principles still could get in an auto accident and need the diagnostic and surgical equipment. Holistic medicine can only go so far. Anyone is free to abstain from modern health care if they choose. As a church we embrace modern health care and do research to continue to make it even better.
True Shannon because we have painted ourselves in this humanistic corner and its to late to get out of it. But Isaiah points to what could have been, If we had followed Gods advice instead of our own self serving ways. Sometimes Shannon I wonder if we are not able to see past your nose.
Ian as usual you are flourishing in ignorance.
Ellen White was not a physician nor a medical expert. She relayed and good advice that she learned from other health experts, but it needs to be examined carefully. Abortion is sinful, and we should not be advocate s for it. It may be necessary in rare cases but never for birth control.
EGW Got her enlightenment From God not from worldly Health gurus. who was many times shown to be false. You say Abortion is sinful Congratulations you have one thing in common with the Bible and the RCC.
Ian as much as many want to ignore the evidence/truth, her health message.was taken from others. So there are truths and errors. You can choose to believe whatever you desire, but truth will set you free.
I am glad you find abortion wrong but given any occasion you really have it in for Ellen White. Do you have an Ellen White dart board at home?
No Raymond not dart board, just a wall that I hit my head on occasion.
I have no issue with Ellen White, but serious issue with how she is used by many to justify error.
LOL, Leon you do keep your message on target. God bless you hope you come around some day to peace with Mrs. White.

On 8th of December my solo show "Kaleidoscope" opened at Kolly Gallery in Zurich, Switzerland. I have never worked on a show that long – almost 2 years!
I had the idea for this show in 2014 already, when I created my Kaleidoscope cans (check the link). Back then I cut the calligraphic elements of my canvases in thin, coloured glass and put them into a kaleidoscope. Endless pattern pieces where created with the elements of just one canvas. But not just the patterns were special in my kaleidoscopes, but also, that they would look different depending on the light and background, thanks to their transparent elements.
In my latest solo show, I took the elements of a painted canvas, put it into a kaleidoscope and re-created the resulting pattern by painting it on wood. But I also wanted to re-create the many visual possibilities offered by the type of light. The only way to do this was by using an unusual material – Crystals.
Each of the crystal pieces is compiled out of thousands of Swarovski and Preciosa stones, each took weeks and month to finish and all of the pieces look very different, depending on the light and point of view. It is almost impossible to catch the pieces in just on photograph. So you better go and see it in the flesh. In the exhibition you see each time a calligraphic piece and a corresponding kaleidoscope piece made of crystals. The show is on view until 7th of January. The exhibition catalogue is available at the gallery.
Thanks to Marco Prosch for the photos!

Мерцедо́ний () — тринадцатый дополнительный месяц древнеримского республиканского календаря.

На протяжении истории римский календарь несколько раз менялся. Около 700 года до н. э. Нумой Помпилием лунный календарь Ромула был изменён таким образом, что в нём было 355 дней и 12 лунных циклов. Около 304 года до н. э. Гнеем Флавием был введён дополнительный тринадцатый месяц, который должен был привести календарь в соответствие со сменой времён года. Такая необходимость возникла из-за того, что лунный год короче солнечного года на 12¼ дней. Этот дополнительный месяц был назван мерцедонием в честь богини-покровительницы товарообмена и платежей.

Дополнительный месяц вводился после  раз в два года и имел протяжённость поочерёдно в 22 или 23 дня, то есть существовал четырёхлетний цикл лет по 355, 378, 355 и 377 дней, что отменило соответствие года лунному циклу. В скором времени обнаружилось, что существует ошибка в календаре Флавия, и введение дополнительного месяца стало происходить по решению великих понтификов, которые злоупотребляли этой своей привилегией, удлиняя или укорачивая год по своей прихоти. Таким образом, в момент введения нового календаря Гаем Юлием Цезарем, начало года пришлось сдвинуть на 67 дней.
