How to Start a Plant Nursery?
Plants are considered as the most significant basis of the food chain. Every living organism relies on plants for its survival either directly or indirectly. The value of vegetation is highly unappreciated in many ways. Most of the human beings consider gardening a tiresome and boring activity. However, there are some of those that find it relaxing and rewarding at the same time. If you own a chunk of land, you can turn it into a lovely garden by starting a plant nursery. Not only will you manage to grow food for you and your family, but also sell it commercially and make some profit. This article will discuss how you can start a plant nursery.
For any individual to run a plant nursery, some states require that they should have a license and legal permit. You should carry out enough research to understand which regulations apply in your area. However, if you plan on starting a commercial nursery, you will have to apply for a business license. Additionally, you need to know the requirements for building permits. You may be required by law to build a greenhouse depending on the regulations of your location. Moreover, you could be planning to build a storage facility for all your gardening equipment. Check the rules governing planting in your area according to state agricultural inspections.
For you to decide what plants to grow, you will need to analyze the demand for your product. Find out what type of plants your potential customers would prefer and available opportunities in the market. Plant nurseries produce different plants where some could be used for landscaping, backyard gardens, reforestation among others. This will help you determine if you should grow plants in containers or bare in the garden. You need to know the quantity of plants you should produce. Producing more plants that the market can accommodate will lead to wastage of resource as you will be left with the surplus. On the other hand, being unable to meet the need of the customers will affect your relationship negatively.
The site you choose for your plant nursery should serve all purposes effectively. Firstly, it should be close to a reliable source of water which will be used for irrigation. Note that to install an irrigation system from a river or lake, you will require a permit from the water department. Ensure that your site is easily accessible. Sometimes customers may want to visit the nursery and have a general idea of how it operates or buy products from it.
Before growing any plants, you need to know the weather and temperature variation of that area all around the year. This will help you prepare in advance in case of extreme weather conditions. You must also identify any pests, diseases or insects in that area that may affect your plant. If need be, you should apply for a chemical applicators license.


The diary and terrier of the vicarage of Brotherton gives detailed descriptions by the various vicars relating to the church and vicarage.
It also notes social and economic changes that affected village life but most significantly, this unique book gives us some of the thoughts and feelings of a succession of incumbents of St Edward the Confessor, which are both amusing and at times quite scathing of the people of Brotherton!
'I would recommend it to all my successors to have their cows brought home from ye town pasture to milk. Because many young men and children in ye town make a practise of duly attending ye maids when they milk ye cows' John Law, vicar, 1779 commenting on his milk cows and milk maids!
In 1946, 50 German prisoners of war attended Midnight Eucharist on Christmas Eve. The diary goes on to tell us that there were approximately 100 POW billeted in Brotherton Hall. It also notes, quite scathingly, that since the end of the war, attendance at church was down and that perhaps people believed that the 'millennium has arrived and that there is no further need for God'.
It is quite rare to find a diary spanning so many years that gives us a glimpse of the changing attitudes of incumbent's towards their congregation whilst at the same time showing how national affairs affected village life.

It was the tweet heard 'round the world
This tweet racked up 3,900 retweets and 16,500 likes from around the world in 72 hours.
Stay away from me – I've gone viral on Twitter.
It began simply enough. During a late lunch Friday after filing my California Jam II column, I was reading the L.A. Times when one story out of Washington caught my eye. It was about the latest involving Stormy Daniels. (It's important to stay abreast.) I read the first few paragraphs, far enough to get to where the reporter sought a comment from the president's lawyer, Michael Cohen, as follows:
"In a brief phone conversation, Cohen said questions should be submitted by email. He did not respond to an email."
I don't know that the average person would find this hilarious, but it seemed like a deadpan encapsulation of the journalist's lot.
I pulled out a pen, highlighted that portion, took a photo of it and tweeted it from @davidallen909, my account, with this explainer: "The life of a reporter, in one paragraph." I tagged the reporter by his Twitter handle, hit "send" and went back to my enchilada combo.
The life of a reporter, in one paragraph. pic.twitter.com/uZ5t8CTYBS
— David Allen (@DavidAllen909) March 16, 2018
The reporter retweeted it to his 4,102 followers. Other journalists who follow him retweeted it.
From there it snowballed.
As of Tuesday at 10 a.m., my tweet had 4,179 retweets and 17,227 likes. As I probably average under two retweets per tweet, this is a startling development.
Explains the Union Metrics blog in a post titled "What happens when a Tweet goes viral": "… a viral Tweet will continue to earn retweets for hours, even days after posting. In fact, you know a Tweet has gone viral if the rate of retweets actually accelerates after a few hours, instead of slowing down or stopping completely."
This was my experience. Since Friday afternoon, every time my Twitter feed updates, I have fresh notifications involving retweets and likes. It's like being a Kardashian or pro athlete, only without the money or fame or followers.

Why so popular? Who knows? But the scenario of having our time wasted by sources happens often. The most common version would go like this: "Smith referred questions to his attorney, who did not return a phone call." This means it's now escalated from one person giving us the brushoff to two, all on the same inquiry. A twofer!
And sometimes, yes, a source asks for questions to be emailed, and we go to the trouble of typing them in question form, with subjects and verbs and everything, even though we're on deadline, and then we get nothing in response. Or they ask our deadline, we say 5 p.m., and they send the answers the next morning, after many of the newspapers with the story in them are already in subscriber's recycling bins.
To be clear, sources have every right to say "no comment." Happens all the time. But Cohen didn't say "no comment." He ducked an interview by asking that questions be typed out and emailed, and then didn't respond, even with a "no comment." That's impolite.
The situation obviously struck a universal chord. In the span of few minutes Monday, for example, the tweet was liked by people from, in order, Manhattan, Maryland, Colorado, Detroit, St. Louis, Connecticut, Paris, Seoul, Virginia, London and Los Angeles.
Journalists from across the country responded. Many were quote-tweets where the person wrote "Yep," "Yup," "Yes," "THIS," "So accurate," "Real life" or a string of laughing-face emojis with tears coming from their eyes.
Among their comments: "It's only the life of a reporter when (the source) then complains about having no chance to put his side in the story." "This exact thing happened to me Thursday. I wish I'd written it like this." "And then they complain that reporters never get it right." "I love calling Serious Important People on their cell and having them blow up at me about calling their cell." "Just in the spirit of politeness, they should at least reply with a 'LOL' or 'bwahahaha.'"
More pithily: "This is the majority of my work flow," "Story of my life" and "The struggle is real."
The tweet went international thanks to journalists abroad. Among their reactions: "Hahahaha this resonates!" (from Australia), "¡Qué descorazonante es a veces esta profesión!" (from Argentina), "… surtout en France" (from Paris), "In Italy press staff of government does not respond to anything as there is no staff" (from Rome), "Every. Single. Day." (from Ireland), "Soll verkommen, ja" (from Austria) and "La vida" (from Spain).
It was heartening, in a world seemingly so divided, to learn that sources brush off reporters in every country, in every language. It's a small, rude world after all.
From Asia alone I heard from journalists in both India and Pakistan – apparently my tweet was a unifying force on the subcontinent – and from Hong Kong, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Singapore.
I was hoping to be big in Japan, but no such luck.

Kirk St.Amant is a Professor and Eunice C. Williamson Endowed Chair in Technical Communication at Louisiana Tech University (USA) where he is also a Research Faculty member with Tech's Center for Biomedical Engineering and Rehabilitation Science (CBERS). He researches how cognition affects usability and the design of technology with a focus on international health and medical contexts and international online education.
Usability is determined by how quickly our users can identify a certain function of our product and use it – a process strongly linked to our users' experiences and expectations. Here is how understanding cognitive processing can lead to better, more usable designs.
Nothing is inherently usable. Rather, usability reflects how our minds process sensory input to identify and categorize objects. If we understand such processes, we can create materials that match them and develop more usable designs. Doing so involves learning how the brain organizes information and designing materials that address these processes.
Cognition describes how the mind identifies, organizes, and responds to information. While our brains operate with amazing speed, there are limits on how much information we can process at once. This is often referred to as cognitive load, which is connected to short-term memory.
This process begins in our short-term memory, where the brain holds initial sensory input to identify and categorize it. Our short-term memories, however, are limited in the amount of information they can hold at one time. This limit is 7 +/- 2 units of information or 5 – 9 units total. How those units are defined depends on the individual's prior experiences. Understanding how the brain forms such units is central to design and usability.
Our senses continually take in large amounts of information – seemingly more than we can process at one time. This situation creates challenges for our short-term memory and cognitive load. For this reason, our brains need to minimize this data. If they don't, we experience information overload – the paralysis of encountering too much information at once. To manage input, our brains use a specific strategy.
We don't perceive all sensory input as individual items for processing. Rather, our brains combine smaller bits of sensory data into larger units – or "chunks" – of information. This chunking reduces how much information our brains need to process at one time. It is what allows us to engage in a variety of complex tasks without feeling overwhelmed.
The process works as follows: When we look at a pen, we don't view it as its separate parts – cylindrical tube that holds ink, tip for writing, clip for attaching it to a pocket, etc. Instead, our minds combine these parts into one unit or chunk of information we process as "pen". This chunked concept of "pen" occupies less mental space and is easier to process than thinking of a "pen" in terms of its individual parts. It allows the brain to manage sensory input.
This chunking of information has important implications for usability. Designs that organize information into a limited number of easily identifiable units allow our minds to process them more easily. Such designs reduce cognitive load and seem easier to understand and use. An interface containing only five distinct elements (five chunks of information), for example, addresses the limitations of how our minds organize information and will be easier to use. Note: This does not mean the interface can only contain five items in total. Rather, it involves having the text, images, and other features on a site organized into five readily identifiable, self-contained elements – such as the number of menu bars, grouping of icons, and separate blocks of text that appear on a site.
To illustrate this, take a look at Figure 1. The image appears overwhelming. This is because it presents too many separate units of visual information – more than our minds can effectively process at one time.
However, if we use design features to clearly organize that same information into a limited number of units, we can more easily process it, and we feel less overwhelmed, as you can see in Figure 2.
If we provide prompts that help contextualize and clarify the order in which to use data, our ability to process that information increases even further (see Figure 3). Such features help our minds organize the information for processing vs. spending cognitive energy to determine how to assemble the individual parts (the five elements with red borders) into one overall chunk for "interface to use."
By limiting the information our minds need to process, we can transform a seemingly overwhelming visual design into something relatively easy to use.
The brain does not chunk information randomly. It learns how to combine different kinds of information into certain chunks based on our experiences. The more we encounter a pen and observe that it consists of certain parts, the more our minds learn to chunk that information into one unit for processing. In this way, our experiences help our minds develop design expectations.
This is why we expect items to look a certain way in order to identify them. We expect pens to have a certain shape and have certain features, because our experiences have taught our minds to look for specific input (features we associate with a pen) and chunk this input into a unit for "pen". When we look for a "pen" or we hear the word "pen", our minds expect to encounter this information. If certain features (information) are missing, the brain will have a difficult time determining what the object is. This is because the sensory input the brain encounters does not match existing mental models it uses to identify objects. These experience-based relationships have important implications for design and usability.
How the brain learns to chunk information helps explain why new designs can confuse users. With no pre-existing model for chunking input, new designs require us to view each element of a design as an individual unit of information for cognitive processing. This situation means our short-term memory needs to hold large amounts of information as we try to determine what this new item is and does. Doing so can lead to feelings of information overload where the design seems overwhelming or too complex to understand. This is because our short-term memory is struggling to accommodate all of the new information it needs to hold for our brains to process.
A similar situation occurs when we encounter revised or modified designs. If the revision of a product involves changing its features, the resulting design could affect how we chunk sensory input. In some cases, a revised design could involve adding, removing, or altering a certain feature. This can affect how our minds match the new design to prior models we used to chunk information in short-term memory. The results are similar to how the mind processes new designs: It views the item in terms of all of its different parts as it tries to chunk those parts into smaller units for cognitive processing. Again, this situation can result in feelings of information overload that could cause confusion or frustration.
To consider these cognitive factors for better usability, we need to research our users' expectations for design. The key is to categorize how individuals process sensory input when they identify items. If we can determine such factors, we can create designs that match the cognitive structures individuals associate with certain objects. The aim is to create a map of how users organize information and to use this map to guide the design process.
Designing effective materials involves understanding how users chunk information to identify objects. Gaining such an understanding requires us to identify the design elements users expect when they encounter an object. In other words: What features make a "pen" a "pen"? The aim is to determine the features users associate with a certain thing. These are the features users expect to encounter when identifying objects.
Verbal mapping – asking the user what an item should look like, e.g. "Tell me what an email login screen looks like."
Visual mapping – asking the user to draw an example of what the item should look like, e.g. "Can you draw an email login screen for me?"
In each case, the user notes the features he or she combines to create the cognitive chunk used to identify an object – in this case, what features he or she expects from an email login screen. This process isolates the specific features individuals actually use to identify an object vs. all of the possible features that the object could have.
so users can recognize and use items more easily.
We then need to compare responses from multiple users to determine what features seem most common. These common features establish the foundation – or prototype – for what these users expect to encounter on a particular object. We can use this prototype information to create an example object/design and test it with our audience. This testing involves users commenting on how well a prototype meets their design expectations.
"Is this where the 'username' prompt should appear on the email login screen?"
"You noted the 'password' prompt was in the wrong place. Where should it be located on the email login interface?"
Again, the objective is to identify the features individuals include in the chunk of information used to identify an item. We can use this testing to revise a prototype design to better meet user expectations. We can then retest this revised design to determine how well it meets user expectations. This iterative process can continue until we believe we have created an effective, usable design for the related audience.
We can use this design map for modifying existing designs or designing new items that users can easily identify and use. Such design maps can also help the members of a team focus on common design elements when revising materials or creating new items. This can help avoid confusion or debate over what constitutes the most effective – or usable – design for an audience.
Usability is a matter of perception. The more readily we know what something is, the more effectively we know how to use it. Such factors are connected to how our brains process information and perceive items. By understanding how cognitive aspects work, we can design materials to meet user expectations and enhance the usability of items.

10 Essential New Zealand Artists to Watch
by Tom Cameron
Ben Woods
Daily J
Jonathan Bree
Lawrence Arabia
Same Name Confusion
Soaked Oats
For a country with a relatively small population, the amount of musical talent New Zealand houses is staggering.
We're all familiar with their most popular forces, from pop dynamos Lorde or Kimbra to the more wildly unique Connan Mockasin or Unknown Mortal Orchestra. A little further down the ladder, however, there are a score of artists who bring the same untethered sense of creativity to their work.
Here are 10 musicians who are currently leading the charge in the Land of the Long White Cloud.
A band of three North Island teens, Alien Weaponry are being hailed as one of the most groundbreaking contemporary artists in the global heavy music scene. Their name and indeed a few of their songs reference the Musket Wars, an especially brutal period in New Zealand's history triggered by the first Māori tribes obtaining muskets from British settlers.
They sing in Māori and play a furious breed of thrash metal, their overall sound coming across as powerful and demanding. Alien Weaponry use their voices to address the history of their people, never shying away from the bloodshed that built their country.

The Dunedin sound is alive in Soaked Oats, a three-piece crafting laid-back guitar anthems with startling consistency. 2017 album Stone Fruit Melodies and 2019 EP Sludge Pop are both wonderfully coherent releases – whether they're concerned with fruit or life in general.
Witty, sometimes philosophical lyrics and simply gorgeous guitar melodies come as naturally as breathing to this group. Top it all off with a cheeky attitude, and you've got yourself one of New Zealand's most exciting rock bands.

A bright and charming force in Kiwi hip hop, Randa has a rep for bouncy beats, bitingly efficient lyricism, and some of the best damn music videos you'll ever see.
In 2019 Randa seems to be back with gusto, dropping two incredible new tunes named Rock Bottom and Toughen Up. The latter showcases a grungier side to this artist's sound, happily denouncing the outdated 'suck it up' mentality too many men are raised on.
"Everyone's saying toughen up/but I feel more like a buttercup"
Johnathan Bree is pure melancholy, distilled into a formless white substance then pumped into a human-shaped bodysuit. His rich baritone most often overlays ever-so-slightly disconcerting string melodies and razor sharp percussion, creating an air of old-world charm and new age experimentalism.
2019 single Waiting On The Moment is the first we've heard from Bree since his formidable debut album Sleepwalking, hopefully the herald of something new entirely. Whatever else is due from this corner, we'll be listening intently with our blank, white ears.

"We were never going to be a band that's easy to categorise. All I can do is be authentic to myself. But also, I'm not the kind of person who sits and broods over lyrics for days and days. I normally go with the first thing I write and stay on that track."
That's what Miss June's Annabel Liddel said when we spoke to them in Sydney this year, shortly after the release of their debut album Bad Luck Party. A furiously genuine four-piece echoing the punk bands of yore, Miss June have quickly earned a reputation for explosive shows and rambunctious rock albums.
A reputation which, quite simply put, they deserve.
Same Name Confusion write the kind of lyrics 99 percent of indie bands wish they could write. Bitingly forward and endearingly satirical of band and fan culture, their 2019 In Theory EP contains that many pinpoint observations, your brain will hardly be able to keep up.
"In Theory isn't meant to make you laugh, but if makes you feel better about yourself we'll let it slide."
What started as a trans-continental bedroom recording project has become Yumi Zouma as we know them now; a brilliant indie pop band with two albums and a trilogy of EPs to their names, now properly based in Christchurch.
Latest single Bruise is yet another cut of too-cool-for-school indie gold, supposedly the first of many new songs to come. Though Yumi Zouma have been kicking around for a few years now, we still find ourselves devotedly hanging upon each new release.
A four-piece from Auckland, Daily J craft a pristine brand of soft psychedelia echoing early Mac DeMarco with a touch of Foxygen – New Zealand's own answer to The Ocean Party.
2019 single Left Me Like Summer is as rose-tinted as they come; the perfect compliment to five minutes in a hammock, or the perfect antidote to a long work day you straight-up want to forget about.
Ben Woods may be a relatively new name, but these tracks are something else. His debut single, Lozenge, came out with guns blazing; a ruthless cut of nostalgic grunge peppered by some vocal melodies we still can't get out of our heads.
Come 2019 he has an album out to the world, simply titled PUT. Self-identifying as an 'Antipodean Gothic', a term ascribed to outsider musicians based amidst the "desolate, xenophobic, flat" Christchurch, the album seeks to capture a city's story from Wood's own darkened perspective.

Lawrence Arabia has been around for over a decade now, but his records never fail to stop us in our tracks. A musical chameleon through and through, the artist known to his friends as James Milne has played in more bands than some people have ever even seen live.
His latest, Lawrence Arabia's Singles Club, is simply a wonderful rock record – though the same could be said for everything he's released under the Lawrence pseudonym. If you haven't started paying attention yet, consider this your open-armed invitation.

TEY is Temple Emunah's (Community) Youth! At Temple Emunah, we realize that there are many different ways children, tweens and teens might choose to connect with their Judaism. We support our teens in their Jewish journeys and make sure they are aware of the variety of possibilities for engagement that exist in today's Jewish world.
At Temple Emunah, we have three USY groups: Kadima (grades 3 through 5), Jr. USY (grades 6 through 8) and Sr. USY (grades 9 through 12). We run minyanim for children in grades 2 through 12: Mini-Minyan (grades 1 through 3), Junior Cong (grades 4 through 6) and Teen Minyan (grades 7 through 12). Mini-Minyan and Junior Cong are usually followed by K.N.I.S.H. (Kadima-Noar Interactive Shabbat Hang-Out ). There are Shul-Ins for children in grades three and four, and children in grades five and six, and our Religious School Retreat. There are Rosh Hodesh groups for girls and Shevet Achim groups for boys, and our Madrichim Program for high schoolers interested in working in our Religious School. There is also our Next Dor Corps and for high school seniors, College Bound.
Along with the many programs run through Temple Emunah, many of our teens also connect to Jewish life through Gann Academy, AIPAC, and a multitude of other programs.
We also run a number of "stand alone" opportunities for teens in our community: Shabbat Dinners, Fall and Spring Youth Day.

Q: Using loop to create the new variable from the ratio of the existing variable in the data-frame I have recently learning loop and would like to apply it to my data analysis. I would like to use loop to create two new columns from the existing data frame:
Assum this is my dataframe
var1<- c(10, 12, 15, 34)
var2<- c(11, 17, 26, 45)
var3<- c(14, 16, 46, 78)

df<- data.frame(var1, var2, var3)

I woul like to write a loop to create the two new columns which are the ratio of var4= var1/var2 and var5= va2/var3.
Write a for loop
df$var4= ""  # create empty column
df$var5=""   # create empty column

for (i in df) {
  var4= df$var1 / df$var2
  var5= df$var2 / df$var3
df.final= as.data.frame(df, var4, var5)
}

##Code not work at all.
Can anyone suggest how I can use loop in here. I would like to stick to loop not sth else. Hope you can guide
Kind Regards,
synat

A: To traverse the rows of a data frame in R, you need to change the for loop in your code.
Instead of i in df it should be i in 1:nrow(df).
The code will look like this:
for (i in 1:nrow(df)) {
  df$var4 = df$var1 / df$var2
  df$var5 = df$var2 / df$var3
}

df.final <- df[c("var4", "var5")]
df.final

The output will look like this:
      var4      var5
1 0.9090909 0.7857143
2 0.7058824 1.0625000
3 0.5769231 0.5652174
4 0.7555556 0.5769231

EDIT: As Limey has suggested, there is no need for a for loop to achieve this result as it is redundant to do so. One can simply do this using following:
df$var4 <- df$var1 / df$var2
df$var5 <- df$var2 / df$var3

It will give you the same result.

Red Chile Peppers
Red chile peppers widely vary in size and shape depending on the variety and environment the pepper is grown in. The pods can be small to large, elongated to short, and have a conical and tapered to multi-lobed, creased, and gnarled shape. The skin may be smooth or wrinkled, waxy, glossy, and taut, transitioning through shades of green, ivory, yellow, orange, purple, and red depending on the variety. Underneath the skin, the thin to thick flesh is aqueous and crisp, encasing a central cavity filled with membranes and round and flat, cream-colored seeds. Red chile peppers may have earthy, sweet, fruity, or smoky flavors, and the spice levels will vary dramatically between cultivars ranging from mild, moderate, to scorching.
Red chile peppers are available year-round, with a peak season in the summer through fall.
Red chile peppers, botanically a part of the Capsicum genus, are pods classified as fruits that belong to the Solanaceae or nightshade family. There are thousands of varieties of Red chile peppers found around the world with varying shapes, sizes, flavors, and spice levels. Red chile peppers are often considered "the universal spice" as they are used in almost every cuisine. Originally from Central and South America, the history of Red chile peppers has evolved with the expansion of global trade routes and was one of the spices that revolutionized the culinary industry. Red chile peppers are the mature versions of peppers that have been harvested once the pods are fully developed, and the flavors are at their peak intensity. Each variety of Red chile pepper has varying spice levels, and depending on the amount of stress that was placed on the pods during development, each pod on a singular plant may have differing levels of intensity.
Red chile peppers are a good source of vitamins A, C, B, and E, potassium, and calcium. Some varieties of Red chile peppers also contain capsaicin, which is a chemical compound that triggers the brain to feel the sensation of heat or spice and has been shown to help stimulate the circulatory system and contain anti-inflammatory properties.
Red chile peppers are best suited for both raw or cooked applications such as sautéing, roasting, frying, simmering, stir-frying, or baking. When utilized fresh, the seeds and inner ribs should be removed to help manage the spice levels depending on the variety being used, and the peppers can then be sliced and tossed into salads, chopped for appetizer plates, or stirred into soups, stews, chilis, and casseroles. Red chile peppers are also popularly incorporated into Asian cuisine, including stir-fries, curries, or noodle dishes, and in Mexican cuisine, they are used to flavor enchiladas, dry-rubs for grilled meats, or bean dishes. For larger and sweeter varieties, Red chile peppers can be stuffed and baked, roasted as a savory side dish, or blended into pasta sauces. In addition to being used fresh in culinary applications, the peppers can be dried and ground into a spice for meats, grains, and vegetables, baked into cheesy pasta dishes, whisked into egg dishes, blended into hot sauce, or mixed into burger patties for extra heat. Red chile peppers pair well with eggs, meats such as beef, pork, poultry, lamb, and fish, other seafood, aromatics such as onions, garlic, and ginger, tomatoes, potatoes, herbs such as cilantro, basil, oregano, and thyme, and fruits such as orange, mango, and pineapple. The peppers will keep 1-2 weeks when loosely stored whole and unwashed in a plastic or paper bag in the refrigerator.
In India, Red chile peppers are an integral part of the national cuisine, culture, and economy. There are many different varieties of Red chile peppers that are grown in India for both local and international use, providing a large source of income through exporting, and some of the world's hottest pepper varieties were first discovered growing wild in the humid, tropical jungles. Red chile peppers represent intense flavoring that has been a part of Indian cuisine for hundreds of years, and specific varieties are often considered a symbol of prestige and status. The peppers can be used in traditional dishes such as curries, dals, chutney, and a sauce-like paste made from peppers blended with white wine vinegar and salt. The sauce is primarily consumed with roti, also known as flatbread, and paratha, which is a flakier, layered, fried bread. Another traditional Indian dish is stuffed Red chile pickle, where the peppers are washed, dried, left to sit in the sun for an hour, and then split down one side and stuffed entirely with spices. In addition to cooked applications, Red chile pepper deterrents have been used in India for hundreds of years and were primarily rubbed on property fences to keep wild elephants from entering into farmland. The Indian military is also utilizing the high amount of capsaicin found in peppers for pepper sprays, pepper balls, and smoke bombs as an alternative to tear gas to help control violence.
Red chile peppers are native to Central and South America and have been growing wild since ancient times. The peppers were spread throughout the Americas via migrating peoples and tribes, and then in the 15th and 16th centuries, the peppers were introduced to Europe and Asia via Spanish and Portuguese explorers. Through the explorers, the peppers were transported across spice routes and rapidly grew in popularity as a culinary ingredient and ornamental home garden plant. Today Red chile peppers are available through specialty grocers, farmer's markets, and through online seed catalogs for home garden use in Asia, Europe, Australia, North America, Central America, South America, Africa, and the Caribbean.

Thanks to peer pressure, I was able to convince Josh to order a beer name "Old Engine Oil".
Who wouldn't want to drinking something with a name like that?
When asked to rate it, he shrugged and gave it a non-committal vote of "eh" — much as how I'd rate the second beer I tried, which was some sort of Scottish elderberry black ale.

Uber Gets Investment From Baidu
Published December 12, 2014 Dow Jones Newswires
Gerry Baker on Uber, Markets
Wall Street Journal Editor-in-Chief Gerry Baker discusses Uber's $41B valuation and gives insight on the markets.
Chinese Internet giant Baidu Inc. will invest in ride-hailing app Uber Technologies Inc., a person familiar with the matter said Friday, in a move that could help the U.S. startup's business in China.
Details of the investment amount weren't immediately known.
Baidu said it plans to announce an investment in a U.S. startup on Dec. 17, but didn't provide further details.
The Baidu investment will give the San Francisco-based company a strong partner in a market that it entered last year but hasn't gained much traction in due to stronger local competitors.
Baidu competes with Internet giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., which has an investment in taxi-hailing app Kuadi Dache. Tencent Holding Ltd. also has an investment in cab-booking app Didi Dache, which said Tuesday it raised more than $700 million in its latest funding round led by Singapore state investment firm Temasek Holdings Pte. Ltd.
Uber's road to $41B valuation
Morgan Stanley not interested in chasing Uber?
Car-booking apps are just one part of China's quickly evolving Internet-services market, which is drawing competitors seeking to win over the country's 500 million smartphone-wielding consumers and the revenue they control.
For Baidu, the deal could allow China's dominant search engine to expand its mobile Internet offerings to attract more users. Baidu has a popular map application that could be able to offer users the ability to book Uber rides.
Earlier this month, Uber raised $1.2 billion in a new round of funding that valued the company at $41 billion.
But Uber has also had its share of difficulties as it seeks to expand. Allegations that an Uber driver raped a woman in India last weekend has triggered a nationwide ban on smartphone-enabled taxi services in India that could stifle the company's ability to operate in its largest market outside of the U.S.
Also this week, Thailand barred all app-based taxi service operators who use personal vehicles; a Spanish judge ordered a temporary halt to the company's operations in the country; and the city of Portland, Ore., issued a cease-and-desist order and filed a lawsuit against Uber.
Uber also faces a legal challenge in its own backyard. On Tuesday, the district attorneys of San Francisco and Los Angeles sued Uber for allegedly misleading consumers and said they are seeking a permanent injunction of the business until it complies with California law. The suit alleges, among other issues, that Uber is misleading customers into believing it screens out drivers who have committed criminal offenses.
News of the Uber investment was first reported by Chinese state media China National Radio.


Charles Francis Nash was born July 24, 1942 in Jersey City. His bright white hair as a boy earned him the nickname Cotton-Top, or Cotton for short. When Cotton was a boy, the Nashes moved to Texas, and then to Indiana. His father was an engineer for DuPont and thus the family relocated several times.
Baseball was Cotton's favorite sport—he had a live arm, strong body and great hand-eye coordination. However, after arriving in Southern Indiana as a sixth grader, he got hooked on basketball. Cotton played two seasons of basketball for Jeffersonville High School . His coach was Ralph Barker, a member of Adolph Rupp's championship teams of the 1940s. Barker told Rupp to keep an eye on Cotton.
The Nashes moved again after Cotton's sophomore year in high school, this time to Lake Charles, Louisiana. Cotton grew to 6–5 at Lake Charles High, and earned another nickname, the Bayou Bomber. He was recruited as a basketball and baseball player, even though his school did not field a baseball team. Cotton also played receiver on the football team. Cotton's most ardent suitor was John Wooden, the coach of the UCLA Bruins. Cotton decided to stay local, however, and accepted the scholarship offered by Kentucky (at the urging of Barker, his coach back in Indiana).
Cotton was a major star from the moment he joined the varsity, scoring 25 points in his first game. He spent the bulk of his time playing center, but could handle just about any other role on the floor. He was an All-American all three years in a row and averaged 22 points a game for his college career. Cotton was the quintessential scorer, with quick moves, a dependable outside shot, and a lethal left-handed hook. He was unfazed by the defenses his faced, including double- and triple-teams. He reached the 1,000-point plateau in his 45th game—faster than any Kentucky player before or since.
In 1964, Cotton was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 12th pick in the NBA Draft. He also signed a baseball contract with the Los Angeles Angels, choosing them over the Yankees and Mets. Cotton had continued to play baseball at Kentucky, and in 1963—after his family moved to Massachusetts—he competed in the Cape Cod League, leading his team to the championship. Cotton played in the Angels system starting that summer, and was a feared minor-league slugger during a nine-year pro career. He blasted 185 home runs, including three seasons of 30 or more. He reached the majors in 1967 as a member of the White Sox, and played for the Twins in parts of the 1969 and 1970 seasons. In 1969, manager Billy Martin used Cotton as a pitcher in a game.
In all Cotton appeared in only 13 games as a big-leaguer. The highlight of major-league career probably came in the ninth inning of Joel Horlen's 1967 no-hitter. He entered the game as a defensive replacement at first base and recorded all three putouts. The victory came in the midst of wild September pennant race.
Cotton's pro basketball career consisted of two seasons. He began the 1964–65 season with the Lakers but was released after 25 games. He was picked up by the Warriors in February and saw a decent amount of action. He did not make the club in 1965–66. Cotton got a second chance when the American basketball Association was formed in 1967. The Kentucky Colonels wanted his star power and he made the team as a power forward. He started for the Colonels early in the season, but after a coaching chain he was relegated to second-string duty and quit the team so he could get ready for Spring Training.
Many fans believed that Cotton could have found stardom at the pro level had he picked one sport and stuck with it. An ankle injury suffered at Kentucky plagued him during his baseball career. His long summers of baseball made it hard to play at a high level for an entire basketball season.
After his sports career, Cotton chose to go into the investment field instead of dentistry. He and his wife, Julie, also got into the thoroughbred business in the Lexington area. Still a revered figure in Kentucky sports, he spends more time watching his grandkids' games than he does attending Wildcat hoops contests.

For episode 2 of "Long Underwear", Amie has a chance to sit down with Michael "Bird" Shaffer in Portland, Oregon, who filmed in Chamonix this year for the new film, Face of Winter, presented by Volkswagen. Bird says filming in France was special because he took the "Cham pill" years ago and it has been his second home for a long time.
Once the no S-word rule is enforced, Bird explains the derivative of his nickname and tells Amie about what it was like being raised in Northeastern Washington on a hippie commune with 7 other families. He says he still has Christmas breakfast with this large, multi-generational family and that it'll always be a part of who he is.
Amie asks Bird if he has any life hacks and he says that though his response may be cliché, it's simple: take the time in the morning to squeeze some lemon into water, make your bed, stretch and visualize how you'd like to your day to look. This keeps him centered from the start and able to go "full wingspan" throughout his day.
From there, Bird tells Amie about the high of being lost in the mountains this last winter and how instead of giving into fear, he was able to harness a sense of calm and find his way out of what could have been a very dangerous situation.
In the end, Bird tells us why breaking his femur was a blessing in disguise and how realizing he can shape his own reality has changed his life.
Keep up with Bird here.


The best job I ever had was working as a Stitch Fix stylist. It was fun, creative, flexible and had an amazing culture. I really felt like I mattered, even though I was just one of many stylists. And the relationships I built with some of the women there (Hey, Lindsey, Ashley, Erin and Tiffany!) genuinely made my life better. To top it all off, I had some incredible clients with whom I had formed a sort of pen-pal friendship. Needless to say it was a job I'll never forget.
Why did I quit? Well, because of my Endometriosis, actually. While I had managed before my surgery this year, post surgery was surprisingly super rough. I'd be in intense pain for days on end and was having a harder and harder time meeting my deadlines. The docs had no way of knowing whether my pain would improve. But they feared it might only get worse from there. So, with a heavy heart I walked away from the job I loved.
It sucked. I cried, a lot. But something that I did take away was that life is short and should be lived to the fullest. Which is the very thing that drove me to start pouring my heart, soul, and fullest efforts into this blog. I knew I couldn't quit and do nothing with my time, which would drive me into a full on depression. So I promised myself I'd finally make this blog I had been dreaming of happen for real.
To say it's been a joy would be a vast understatement. It has been one of the only things to keep me afloat since my diagnoses. I think about it right when I wake up in the morning. And with every day that passes I only get more passionate about it. It's a major blessing too in regards to me having some serious flexibility. If I'm having a particularly bad endo flare up I can just take it easy for a couple days, or work slowly in bed.
But as happy as I am with my new blogging journey, I'll always look back on my days at Stitch Fix with a full heart.
As a stylist there I used to style myself, but now I can finally have the true client experience by getting styled by a total stranger, which I must say, has excited me more than a little.
I went ahead and signed up, got my first Fix and holy cow, it was good. My stylist listened to everything I said and really put a lot of thought into each piece.
I told my stylist I like trendy pieces, and love neutrals for versatility's sake. I also mentioned that I have a bajillion skinny jeans so was interested in a different denim.
First, she sent me this lace up sweater by Rails. It's ridiculously soft and so adorable with jeans or even a skirt. I already wore it to one holiday party and will probably wear it to another before this season is over!
The third item she sent was this Noisy May corduroy faux shearling jacket. This one was such a pleasant surprise! I'm truly obsessed with it. I love 70s fashion and this one gave me all the 70s feels.
Fourth was this pair of McGuire jeans. Not only are they freaking comfortable, but right up my alley as they're a trendier option. Plus I'm a sucker for good quality denim.
Last was this handmade metal clutch/bag by From St. Xavier. It's absolutely gorgeous and the inner lining is velvet. WUT.
Of course I had to keep all 5 pieces but each one was absolutely perfect. I can't wait to keep getting Fixes! I had no idea this was so fun!
Have you checked out Stitch Fix? If so, what do you think?

Jerrold Tarog just finished the script for 'Quezon', the the final film in 'Heneral' trilogy
We may still have to wait for a few more months or perhaps even a year before seeing the final film in the historical "Heneral Luna" trilogy. But According to its director, Jerrold Tarog, he already finished writing the script for the historical biopic about former President Manuel L. Quezon.
Kakatapos lang script. Tingnan natin kung i-aprub. https://t.co/cTo3H8UoAt pic.twitter.com/bwwVyjTdPB
— Jerrold Tarog (@JerroldTarog) January 20, 2021
The third film, "Quezon" will take a different route from the first two films and be on comedy realms. The script is co-written by veteran playwright and theater director Rody Vera.
The biopic "Quezon" will be the final installment in TBA Studios' historical trilogy following "Heneral Luna" in 2015 and "Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral" in 2018.
As of writing, there's no official date yet for the film, and Tarog is still waiting for the script's official approval.


Planet X's music, audible on debut CD "Universe", takes the listener on a journey rich in melodic soundscapes. From the awe-inspiring intricacies of "King of the "Universe"" to the untamed power of "Supernova," the album, recorded at Sherinian's Leopard Room studio in the Hollywood Hills, is an auditory feast for progressive fusion fans. Guitarist Tony MacAlpine sees Planet X as the perfect combination of the right music and great players, with a secret weapon: "All of us are composers," he points out. "This band is a vital entity for today's music lovers and enthusiasts. It's quite original." Drummer Virgil Donati states, "The interaction between Derek Sherinian, Tony and myself is very creative," he says. "Our use of dissonance, consonance, modulation from one key to another, changes of tempo, orchestration, and other rhythmic devices, contibute to the listener's experience." "Universe" certainly marks a return to virtuoso-based music.
Recorded and mixed at the Leopard Room, Hollywood Hills, CA.


Building upon last month's blog, we have an update on our plans to ship breaking changes across Server Products. While plans often change, we do our best to be open about our work so the Atlassian Ecosystem can plan ahead to ensure a smooth experience for our customers. We've consolidated these updates into a single, easy to digest, post and will provide monthly updates until the end of the year.
The final version of AUI 8.0 has been released. Consult the changelog for a consolidated list of differences in this release, and the upgrade guides for more detailed information.
AUI 8.x will receive development and maintenance throughout FY19. AUI 7.x will receive occasional updates and maintenance throughout FY19.
We have some exciting new features lined up for the Bitbucket Server 6.0, with a planned release in late January, 2019. We also plan to release an Early Access Program (EAP) Bitbucket Server 6.0 release, including all breaking changes, in the first week or so of 2019.
For one of the features in Bitbucket Server 6.0, we need to deprecate direct access to repositories on disk for apps. You can find all the necessary details in the API changelog. We're also going to remove the notification handler plugin point, and the related notification API. When you need to send notifications just listen for the event you are interested in using a listener based on that specific event, and get the recipients via com.atlassian.bitbucket.watcher.WatcherService to send notifications.
We're going to add support for Java 11 in Bitbucket Server 6.0, as Java 8 is reaching end of life in January, 2019. After Java 8 reaches end of life, unless an Oracle Java 8 subscription is purchased, no further fixes, including security patches, will be available for it. As a core dependency for Bitbucket Server, such patches are critical, so we're adding support for Java 11.
We'll also end support for PostgreSQL 9.2, which has been deprecated since the Bitbucket Server 5.7 release (see the supported platforms page for details).
Versions prior to Bitbucket Server 6.0 support Git 2.2.0 and newer, excluding Git 2.12.2 on Windows (see the supported platforms page for details).
Starting from Bitbucket Server 6.0 custom file handlers will no longer be used for rendering diffs, only for source views. For adding extra information to the diff gutter we will no longer support DiffView.registerGutter. Instead we recommend using Code Insights to add extra information to the diff.
Confluence 6.13 is nearly here, and will bring with it support for AdoptOpenJDK 8. This will ensure that customers have an alternative to the paid Oracle JDK from 2019. Full Java 11 support is planned to be delivered with Confluence 7.0 sometime in 2019.
We have also added the ability to permanently delete a user account and anonymise the personally identifiable information associated with it. If your app displays people's names or usernames (think places like mentions, or the page byline), you should test how it behaves when a user has been deleted. Check out the Beta release notes and Preparing for Confluence 6.13 for more details. Confluence 6.13 will also be the next designated Enterprise release.
We are continuing our work on Jira Software 8.0. The release has now been moved to end of January 2019.
If you haven't started following our Jira Software 8.0 EAP program, we highly recommend taking a look at the most recently released version. More information on the 8.0 Early Access Program can be found here.
The beta version of 8.0 is expected to be released in the first week of December. This version will be feature complete but as we discover and fix bugs, some changes might still happen.
We expect to release a Release Candidate version roughly two weeks before the final release. This will be the same build we plan to release as the final version, and will give an opportunity to app vendors to test with the final release build before it goes out to customers.
Jira 8.0 will be working with Oracle JDK 8 and OpenJDK 11. This means that Java 11 features will not be supported in the source code (Java 8 compatibility mode). Hence, we will only announce limited Java 11 support without making Jira officially compatible with Java 11 until a future 8.x release. This will give app vendors time to update their products before we announce official compatibility with Java 11. Most likely, this will take place sometime in Q1 2019. After we announce the official compatibility with Java 11, we will also strive to have OpenJDK 11 bundled with the Jira installer.
The teams continue work on Jira Service Desk 4.0. This shall be released along with Jira Software 8.0. We do recommend taking a look at the most recently released Jira Service Desk EAP versions, here.

At the state level, the Chargers compete in the North Carolina Independent School Athletic Association (NCISAA). As a member of the NCISAA, Providence Day also competes for the annual Wells Fargo Cup.
The Wells Fargo Cup, presented and sponsored by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., recognizes overall excellence in high school athletics among NCISAA member institutions. As such, the Cup has become the single most valued athletic achievement award in North Carolina.
Since 1985 the Wells Fargo Cup has been presented to the schools in each classification. Beginning in 1999 - 2000, the Wells Fargo Cup has been awarded in three classifications, 1A, 2A, and 3A, with awards being issued to the school with the most combined points. The winning schools in each classification receive an engraved silver cup and a banner. Both awards are provided as permanent recognition of that year's athletic excellence.
The winning schools are determined by point totals earned through competition in state championships. Each school that finishes in the top eight of a state championship tournament receives Wells Fargo Cup points. Wells Fargo points are awarded as follows: 50 points for first place, 45 for second, 40 for third, 35 for fourth, 30 for fifth, 25 for sixth, 20 for seventh, and 15 for eighth. In the event of a tie, the point total for that finish is divided evenly among the schools involved.

The Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) goes to great lengths to investigate allegations of child abuse, neglect or abandonment. In addition, Florida law requires certain individuals to report suspected child abuse, neglect or abandonment. As a result, many good, caring, parents face severe, life-changing accusations. If the DCF has taken your child away from you, you need a lawyer immediately. It is critical to hire a lawyer who understands DCF cases and the specific legal procedures that are involved.
I am Lake County DCF attorney Robyn Hudson. From my office in Tavares, my law firm serves parents across Lake County and Sumter County. I understand that the outcome of your case will have a major impact on your relationship with your children. You can depend on me to provide aggressive representation aimed at helping you achieve the best available outcome.
If your child has been removed from your home, you have the right to a hearing within 24 hours. This hearing, known as a "shelter hearing" will determine whether the DCF has enough evidence to keep your child. The sooner you get my law firm involved in your case, the more we can do in your case.
Any case involving a person's alleged fitness to be a mother or father is going to be an emotional event; I understand this. When you work with my law firm, you can count on me to answer your questions and give you the attention you need during a very hard time. At the same time, you can rely on me to do everything in my power to help you reunite with your family.

Ex-Lakers Big Man DeMarcus Cousins Signs With Championship Contender
Heavy on Lakers
By Austin Boyd
Updated Nov 30, 2021 at 4:00pm
Getty DeMarcus Cousins with LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
It's been a tough road for DeMarcus Cousins. He was once considered among the NBA's elite players before an Achillies injury derailed his career. He's failed to recapture his early career success and continues to bounce around the league. When the Los Angeles Lakers signed him in 2019, the hope was that he could rehabilitate his career on a good team. Unfortunately, he got hurt again and never played a game with the team.
He then went on to spend time with the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers but didn't receive long-term deals from either. Cousins is now going to try his shot with the reigning NBA champions as the Milwaukee Bucks announced that they've signed the former All-Star.
Welcome to Milwaukee, @boogiecousins!!

— Milwaukee Bucks (@Bucks) November 30, 2021
Starting center Brook Lopez hasn't played a game since opening day as he deals with a back injury. He should return at some point but bringing in a veteran like Cousins makes a lot of sense. He can fill in for Lopez while he gets healthy and also provides good depth at the position. This may not be a long-term home for Cousins but there aren't many better situations for the big man right now.

Bucks GM Praises Cousins
GettyDeMarcus Cousins.
The Bucks haven't gotten to the best start but are now just 1.5 games out of the top seed in the Eastern Conference with a 13-8 record. General manager Jon Horst believes that Cousins will help the team's depth.
"DeMarcus is incredibly talented and his size, toughness and experience will help us," Horst said. "He will provide added depth to our front court rotation and we look forward to working him into our system."
Cousins will likely never reach the heights that he showed with the Sacramento Kings and New Orleans Pelicans, but he's still a capable center.
Anthony Davis Talks Playing Center
Speaking of centers, the Lakers have an issue at the position. The team is 11-11 and continues to start DeAndre Jordan despite calls for him to stop seeing playing time. When they traded for Russell Westbrook, the hope was that Anthony Davis would take over most of the minutes at center. That hasn't been the case so far.
Davis has always preferred to play power forward but that hasn't always been where he's most effective. However, he's leaving all decisions up to the coaching staff.
"I think my two threes came when DJ was at the 5 because I play on the perimeter, and let him be down there. We don't want two bigs in the paint when these guys are attacking," Davis said, via Silver Screen & Roll. "When I'm at the 5 … then Melo is usually the other guy out there who is spacing the floor. So it just all depends on what we're looking for. I think both have helped us win games this year, and it's up to coach to decide what he wants to continue to go with."
Eventually, the Lakers may have to just put Davis at center full-time. The floor spacing is already bad enough with Davis and Westbrook being two of the worst shooters in the NBA. Putting Davis at center would open up the floor and require less shooting the two superstars.

The former Los Angeles Lakers center has found a new home in the Eastern Conference.


Forest Lawn was a town in Alberta, Canada. Today, it is mostly a lower to middle-class neighbourhood of Calgary.
The area was first settled in the early 1900s. In 1952, the districts of Hubalta, Albert Park and Forest Lawn were incorporated as the Town of Forest Lawn. In 1961 the town was dissolved and incorporated in the city of Calgary, and now it is a neighborhood in the city's south-east quadrant. The community has an area redevelopment plan in place.
The multicultural International Avenue defines the southern border of the community, and it is bounded to the north by Memorial Drive. The community of Radisson Heights lies to the west, while Penbrooke Meadows lie to the east.
The community is served by Forest Lawn Senior High, Patrick Airlie Elementary and Keeler Elementary public schools, as well as Holy Trinity Elementary, Holy Redeemer and Fathert Lacombe schools (catholic).


From the iconic paella to more fine dining options, here's a look at the best food to try when in Valencia, Spain's third most populated city.
There are two iconic images associated with Valencia, which immediately spring to mind when we think of Spain's third most populated city and capital of the autonomous Valencia region on the east coast of the country.
One is the Calatrava City of Arts and Sciences erected for the Expo event and captured in hundreds of tourists' selfies. The other is paella. Two images that well represent Valencia today: a city comfortably at ease in its provincial dimension, proud of its traditions and unwilling to give up its leisurely attitude. Nonetheless, this city is evolving at a steady pace – also with regard to its restaurants.
One of the best known and widely exported dishes of Spain, paella has its roots in Valencia. And, contrary to the widely held belief, it contains no fish, but only meat: chicken, rabbit, mangetouts, beans and peppers (snails are optional).
There are many addresses worth mentioning in the city: one of the best is certainly that of Casa Carmela. Somewhat off the beaten track of the city centre, this restaurant first opened in the twenties on the beach of Malvarrosa and is still run by the same family.
Here, paella is strictly cooked over a wood fire for a restricted number of customers every day, using spanking fresh ingredients: when it gets to the table with its perfect layer of "toasted" rice sticking to the pan bottom (called "la socarrat"), and its subtle aroma of saffron mingled with that of the wood fire, you realize that any other paella you ever tasted before was nothing but a pallid imitation.
Our research on paella, however, is not only accompanied by the sound of wooden spoons (the traditional utensil for serving it). To learn more about the essential role played by rice growing in Spain in general, and in the region of Valencia in particular – when visiting the Natural Reserve of Albufera extending to the south of the city - drop in at the Rice Museum, housed in an old windmill restored by the Municipality and University of Valencia.
If your trip includes excursions out of town, it is worth going as far as the fascinating Cullera lagoon. Here you will find Casa Salvador which, for sixty years – without a closing day, as the owners like to recall – has been serving traditional paella, along with other more recent interpretations like the one with seafood, with duck and eel or with sepia ink.
Don't miss tasting the Fideuà, which is made with a sort of fine spaghetti. The starter selection is superb so start your dinner with a glass of cava accompanied with anchovies and jamòn, as the sunset lazily tinges the waters of the Cullera: a postcard-like experience you will not easily forget.
Paella is just one of the delights to be experienced when eating out in Valencia. The best way to start exploring the ancient town centre is make your way to a horchateria to taste the city's typical beverage, a sort of milky drink made from water, tiger nuts and sugar.
In Plaza Santa Catalina stands the time-honoured and highly popular establishments Horchatería Santa Catalina and Horchatería El Siglo. The former is more touristy while the latter has a more intimate feel but both serve an horchata worthy of tradition: creamy and very sweet. Should these calories fail to satisfy you entirely, dunk some fartons into your glass, by which we mean giant breadsticks of leavened dough coated with sugar or even chocolate at times.
One of the tourist attractions of Valencia is certainly that of the Mercado Central. In its 8,160 square metres, housed inside a modernist building dating back to the early 1900s, 300 producers sell gourmet products from every corner of the country. You risk entering out of curiosity and leaving so loaded with Cecina de Léon (dried beef) and cheese that you need to buy an extra suitcase to return home.
Another market that is highly popular with tourists and locals alike is that of the Mercado de Colón. If you are looking for a quick, affordable snack, try the Central Bar in the first and the Habitual in the second, both owned by Valencia's starred chef Ricard Camarena.
Finally, no day out in Spain would be complete without ordering a round of tapas. At Casa Montaña, in an enveloping atmosphere of times gone by, you will find the better known specialities from Patatas bravas to fish Berberechos (preserves) and a marvellous selection of wines.
At a 30' car drive from Valencia stands Dénia, a seaside town which rose to fame thanks to its most illustrious citizen, Quique Dacosta. With a career of 29 years behind him and three Michelin stars conquered in 2013, this chef occupies a foremost position in the Spanish avant-garde fringe, proudly expressed in his interviews - "To eat is one activity in the restaurant, but it's not the only one. Avant-garde cuisine should be free from the responsibility of feeding people" he told us here.
Once seated in his restaurant – which reveals all of Dacosta's passion for art, design and architecture – you are taken on a guided tour in which the Valencia region and its products, from the red prawn of Alicante to Gleva rice D.O. play a part, but are never the only protagonists. The theme of the gourmet menu changes each year to offer an experience with a high emotional content, devoid of arid conceptualism and heightened by moments of pure poetry or stimulating provocation.
If budget – or logistic – restrictions prevent you from going any further afield than Valencia, Dacosta has opened three more venues in the city: the starred El Poblet, the informal Vuelve Carolina and the fantastic Mercat Bar, an international street food experience in the form of tapas, from the Cuba Libre of foie gras to the Pekinese duck taco (gourmet menus priced 15, 22 and 30 Euro).

Operatic Outlandishness: "We Will Rock You"
The Ahmanson's summertime treat brims with songs, style, and glow sticks.
By Alysia Gray Painter	• Published July 23, 2014 • Updated on July 23, 2014 at 8:24 am
What are the great dashboard songs?
We're talking about those percussive, power-deep ditties that a passenger, and occasionally a driver, will pound out on a vehicle's dashboard (here's hoping the driver parks before dashboarding).
Journey tunes are up there, and Rush, but the number #1 tune, forever and ever, in this arena, is Queen's "We Will Rock You." Thank you. Goodnight. Nothing else to discuss. A fact, through and through.
Read: Tam O'Shanter Gets Traditional
Which makes it the perfect title, and theme, for the musical of the same name, which is summering-up summertime with a stylish sound blast at the Ahmanson Theatre.

The Portland Trail Blazers fought their way through a pressure-packed playoff race to earn home-court advantage in a series, then lost it in one game.
The Toronto Raptors know that problem all too well, so they want to take advantage of playing from ahead for a change.
They try for their first 2-0 playoff series lead ever Tuesday night against Washington, while the Trail Blazers try to even things up in against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Boston and Milwaukee play the other Game 2 on Tuesday after the Celtics pulled out a 113-107 overtime victory on Sunday.
The No. 3 Trail Blazers were the highest-seeded team to lose so far, falling 97-95 on Saturday. Anthony Davis was dominant, Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum were slow-starting, and the Pelicans got a couple big defensive plays down the stretch from Jrue Holiday to hold on after the Blazers nearly came back from a 19-point deficit.
"I think it puts some pressure on us," Lillard said. "You know, you come in with home court, the first two games on your floor and you lose the first one, and now they're saying in their locker room we got one, why not go get another one. And our job is to defend the home court.
"We've got to tighten up, come back sharper, and take care of home floor."
Toronto had lost Game 1 at home all six times it had home-court advantage in a series, part of an overall 10-game losing streak in series openers, before beating Washington 114-106 dropped on Saturday. Finally, the Raptors could enjoy the start of postseason play.
"And for me, this year is finally a year I can be happy watching other games and not be like `Damn, I lost Game 1,'" point guard Kyle Lowry said.
Toronto leads 1-0. Game 2, 7 P.M., NBA TV.
NEED TO KNOW: Toronto's only other 1-0 series lead was in the 2001 Eastern Conference semifinals against Philadelphia, which won Game 2 and ultimately the series in seven games.
KEEP AN EYE ON: The 3-point line. The Raptors made a franchise-record 16 in the opener, twice as many as Washington for a 24-point advantage behind the arc.
INJURY UPDATE: Raptors reserve Fred VanVleet (right shoulder) went through most of practice Monday after missing the opener but remains day to day. Lowry was fighting a cold but joked he was "out tanning" Sunday during an ice storm.
PRESSURE IS ON: Washington's bench. The Wizards' reserves probably aren't going to win the battle against Toronto's highly productive second unit, but need to produce something more after getting next to nothing beyond Mike Scott's 14 points in the opener.
Boston leads 1-0. Game 2, 8 P.M., TNT.
NEED TO KNOW: Giannis Antetokounmpo has scored 20 or more points in eight straight games against the Celtics after scoring 35 before fouling out in overtime of the opener.
KEEP AN EYE ON: Boston's balance. With Al Horford (24 points), Terry Rozier (23), Marcus Morris (21) and Jaylen Brown (20), the Celtics had four 20-point scorers in a playoff game for the first time since Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, Reggie Lewis and Brian Shaw did it in a 1991 game. Throw in Jayson Tatum's 19 points, and the Bucks let too many players get hot in Game 1.
INJURY UPDATE: Celtics coach Brad Stevens said Marcus Smart is getting some shots up and working on lower body and conditioning as much as he can, but has been told by the training staff that April 27 is the earliest the guard could begin basketball activity.
"We're still a ways away from that and a lot of games away from that," Stevens said.
PRESSURE IS ON: Eric Bledsoe. Milwaukee needs more from its starting guard who had more combined fouls (6) and turnovers (5) than points (9) in a bit of a Game 1 dud.
New Orleans leads 1-0. Game 2, 10:30 P.M., TNT.
NEED TO KNOW: Anthony Davis had 35 points in the opener and has scored 25 or more in his first five postseason games. He can tie LeBron James for the second-longest streak to begin a career, behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 14 straight, according to Elias.
KEEP AN EYE ON: Rajon Rondo. A 17-assist, eight-rebound opener was another reminder of how much the Pelicans' point guard can elevate his game in the postseason.
INJURY UPDATE: Portland's Maurice Harkless is nearing a return from late-season left knee surgery, but may not be available until later in the series.
PRESSURE IS ON: The Blazers' backcourt. Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum combined to shoot just 13 for 41, and their three combined points on 1-for-15 shooting in the first half doomed Portland to a big hole from which it could not recover.

Just thought I'd share my shopping buys of the week with you ladies. Afterall, it's almost like my readers and fellow bloggers are my girlfriends. And that's just what girlfriends do, right?? So here we go!
Something that always amazes me is how often someone so little can be in need of new clothes. Even if he hasn't grown out of his clothes, it just seems like we are always running out of decent options for him to wear.
I have a few favorite places to shop for his clothes. These are Baby Gap, Janie and Jack, Gymboree, Marshalls and Old Navy.
Janie and Jack is great for "dress up" clothes. They have high quality pieces that are perfect for any special occasion. Regardless, I have to say that my fave place of all time to buy Cruze clothes is Baby Gap. Their items are comfy and so so cute. And this mama? She only shops from the sale rack.
There's nothing I love more (baby style wise) than seeing Cruze in clothes that are cozy enough to sleep in yet look pulled together.
Have you entered my Apothederm Skin Clarifying Treatment giveaway!?!?!?! That stuff is so awesome at clearing up blemishes FAST.
However, as I was reviewing the product I realized how bad my skin has become. Sure, I can clear up a blemish in a days time with Apothederm but my overall skin texture and complexion is dry, dull and not so smooth.
I've been considering taking the plunge and getting the Clarisonic Mia2 but at over $100 I'm a bit hesitant. I've been reading a lot about the Olay Pro X brush and the reviews are great! It's under $30 so it's a great way to see if this kind of cleaning tool is worth it for me.
The last three are just samples. They have great reviews though soI'm hoping to see a change. If so, I'll definitely be buying the full size.
Any tips for great skin? I wanna hear it!
