Today will be spent getting ready for a day full of family celebrations for Dex's birthday tomorrow! We will be doing (and eating) all of Dex's favorite things! And speaking of Dex's birthday- don't forget to enter the giveaway! Dex will be choosing the winner on Sunday! It's easy: just fill in the form at the bottom of this post with your name and email address- then you will get my post sent to your email starting next week!
Bryan has been eating strictly vegan for the last month for some health reasons and we are excited to try the new Upbeet restaurant in midtown Atlanta this weekend. They have smoothies, salads, grain bowls, etc. Plenty of great options for those of us who are vegan in our home and those of us who aren't.
We also tried a little Gluten Free/Allergen friendly bakery to get cupcakes for Dex's birthday celebration tomorrow. Dex doesn't do dairy or nuts so we were looking for a good option for him, as well as a cupcake Bryan could eat. The cupcakes are delicious, and Dex will get to taste his first sunbutter/chocolate cupcake tomorrow which, if he is anything like his momma, will spark a love for the peanut butter/chocolate combo! Check them out if you need a yummy treat that is allergy friendly!
I am super excited to have been selected to be on the launch team for Church of the Small Things by Melanie Shankle. (You can pre-order your copy now) This is my third launch team this year- I have gotten to read and promote 3 of my favorite authors this year which is such a huge honor for me. I have read all of Melanie's other books, and have laughed and cried all the way through. Stay tuned for a book review coming soon.
Lastly, at the Espy Awards last week, Tim Shriver accepted the Arthur Ashe award on behalf of his mother, Eunice Kennedy Shriver. She was the founder of the Special Olympics. Michelle Obama gave a beautiful tribute and presented the award. It was such a beautiful speech of inclusion. I have watched it multiple times, and I am encouraging everyone to watch it. There is still so much more to be done in the way of inclusion! I'm serious- Tim Shriver for President anyone?
That's it for today! I am off to buy as many balloons as will fit in my house!

Ancient-Pathogen Genomics: Coming of Age?

DOI: 10.1128/mBio.01676-14
The potentially debilitating zoonotic disease brucellosis is thought to have been a scourge of mankind throughout history. New work by Kay et al. [mBio 5(4):e01337-14, 2014] adds to evidence for this by exploiting the huge advances in next-generation sequencing technology and applying shotgun metagenomics to a calcified nodule obtained from a 14th-century skeleton from Sardinia. While not the first DNA-based confirmation of Brucella in medieval DNA samples, Kay et al.'s study goes much further than previous reports based on single gene fragments in that it allows a full-genome reconstruction and thus facilitates meaningful comparative analysis of relationships with extant Brucella strains. These analyses confirm the close relationship of the genome to contemporary isolates from the western Mediterranean, illustrating the continuity of this lineage in the region over centuries. The study, along with recent studies characterizing other ancient-pathogen genomes, confirms that shotgun metagenomics offers us a powerful tool to fully characterize pathogens from ancient samples. Such studies promise to revolutionize our understanding of the nature of infectious disease in these materials and of the wider picture of the emergence, evolution, and spread of bacterial pathogens over history.
The views expressed in this Commentary do not necessarily reflect the views of this journal or of ASM.
Brucellosis remains one of the world's most significant zoonotic diseases still widely distributed globally in both animals and humans, with effective control and/or eradication achieved in only some of the most developed countries (1). While over 500,000 new human cases a year are reported globally (2), the nonspecific clinical picture of brucellosis, as well as low disease awareness and poor diagnostic capabilities in many parts of the world, means that this figure is likely a gross underestimate. Ten species of Brucella are now recognized as members of a largely genetically highly conserved group (3), but the most economically significant are Brucella abortus (responsible for bovine brucellosis), Brucella melitensis (brucellosis of small ruminants), and Brucella suis (swine brucellosis). All of these three species are also highly pathogenic for humans, with B. melitensis thought to be responsible for the largest human disease burden. Human infection usually occurs as a result of occupational exposure (abattoir workers, farmers, hunters, and veterinarians) or as a result of consumption of unpasteurized dairy products, reflecting excretion of the organism in the milk of domesticated animals.
Brucellosis in animals is associated with abortion, retained placenta, orchitis, or epididymitis, and abortion causes a massive release of the organism into the environment. In humans, initial symptoms are nonspecific and can include an undulant fever, tiredness, night sweats, appetite and weight loss, and headaches, all of which, without treatment, can become severe and debilitating. Left untreated, the infection can become chronic – in such cases osteoarticular manifestations, such as arthritis, sacroiliitis, or spondylitis, are frequent forms of localized disease. Osteomyelitis caused by brucellosis most frequently affects the lumbar and lower thoracic vertebrae, and an important differential diagnosis in cases of osteomyelitis or septic arthritis is tuberculosis (4).
How long humans have been living with brucellosis is unclear. Being an insidious and often nonspecific disease that debilitates, rather than kills, there are no dramatic epidemics in historical records, unlike for diseases such as plague. Writers have tried to link outbreaks of disease reported in ancient literature and historical records, such as in ancient Greece (5th century BC), with brucellosis based on the descriptions (5), and it has been suggested that brucellosis was endemic in Roman society (6). More-direct evidence has come from a number of paleoanthropological studies that have identified vertebral lesions consistent with brucellosis from Early Bronze Age samples in the Middle East, from skeletons of adults fleeing the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, and from later European samples (6). Further, it has recently been hypothesized that the macroscopic, microscopic, and radiological appearance of lytic lesions in lumbar vertebrae of an australopith (Australopithecus africanus Stw 431) from the Late Pliocene site of Sterkfontein in South Africa is consistent with skeletal pathognomonic characteristics of brucellosis (7). This observation raises the possibility of the presence of brucellosis in hominids 2.3 to 2.5 million years ago.
The above-described studies all rely on potentially challenging differentiations of lesions characteristic of brucellosis from those of other infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis or staphylococcal spondylitis, which can cause superficially similar, though less discriminate, lesions. The earliest laboratory-confirmed cases, thought to date from between the 10th and 13th centuries, have been described from the ancient Albanian city of Butrint (8). Here, lesions on thoracic and lumbar vertebrae of skeletal remains of two adolescent males were identified. While pathologies suggested brucellosis or tuberculosis, genetic screening of skeletal samples for tuberculosis was repeatedly negative. However, two Brucella-specific DNA markers, IS711 and bscp31, could be amplified by PCR from the affected vertebrae but not from unaffected individuals or control samples. Subsequent sequencing confirmed the presence of IS711 and provides strong direct evidence that brucellosis has been endemic in this area, which still reports some of the highest incidences in Europe today, since at least the Middle Ages.
The study described above is typical of those undertaking molecular examination of ancient-pathogen DNA until recently (9). Since the emergence of the use of genetics in paleomicrobiology some 20 years ago, studies have relied largely on PCR amplification of small fragments of DNA from historical material. While much has been gleaned from such studies, they are limited in many respects, particularly by concerns about cross-contamination with modern material, either in the laboratory or environmentally, and by the limitation that the small fragments of DNA obtained restrict the ability to place ancient DNA in context with modern bacterial strains of the same group. However, paleomicrobiology, at least for some microorganisms, now promises to be revolutionized by the emerging field of ancient-pathogen genomics driven by the astronomical pace of advancement in next-generation sequencing technologies.
The field has been driven largely by application to three organisms, Yersinia pestis, Mycobacterium leprae, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, for which pertinent samples are more easily identifiable through historical records or pathological markers; in addition, the biological properties of these organisms mean that genetic material may be better preserved. Given the historical impact of the Black Death, caused by Y. pestis, application of paleomicrobiology to provide concrete evidence of the causative agent and to understand the evolution of the organism has been of substantial interest. In 2011, the genome of Y. pestis was reconstructed at 30-fold coverage from the teeth of Black Death victims from a London graveyard dated to the mid-14th century (10). Phylogenetic analysis at the time showed the strain to be close to the ancestral node of all strains that cause human disease, suggesting that contemporary Y. pestis epidemics originated in the medieval period. Compared against modern genomes, no unique derived positions were detected in the medieval genomes, indicating that the perceived increase in virulence associated with the Black Death may not reflect bacterial genotype but other factors, such as environmental or social changes, the impact of concurrent infectious disease, vector dynamics, or changes in host susceptibility. However, an alternative explanation that cannot be excluded is that the virulence of the organisms may be affected by areas of the genome other than those currently recognized (9). This reflects the fact that this study, as well as a further recent study confirming that the Y. pestis associated with the plague of Justinian in AD 541 to 543 is an independent emergence into humans from rodents that may now be extinct (11), utilizes capture techniques in which modern sequences are used to drive hybridization and "enrich" for DNA of interest. Thus, inherent weaknesses of these approaches are that one finds only what one is looking for and that they may fail to detect sequences present in ancient strains but absent in contemporary ones.
Shotgun metagenomics addresses the above issue by allowing an unbiased sequencing en masse of DNA extracted from a sample without target-specific amplification or capture. In 2013, what was believed to be the first full de novo assembly of a genome via shotgun sequencing alone representing an ancient pathogen from skeletal material held at ambient temperature was reported (12). From one sample, the tooth of a woman who died in a leper colony in Denmark in the 1300s, the finding that an astonishing 40% of sequence reads mapped to M. leprae allowed the de novo assembly of an M. leprae genome with 100-fold coverage and with 169 contigs separated by gaps corresponding to repetitive regions. This genome, along with four others obtained following enrichment by traditional capture approaches, was compared with modern M. leprae strains, revealing remarkable conservation over a millennium. These data suggested that the decline in leprosy in 16th-century Europe likely did not reflect a loss of virulence of the pathogen; they also suggested a European origin for leprosy in the Americas and showed that strains currently circulating in the Middle East likely originated in medieval Europe. The authors concluded that the study implied the real prospect that the prehistoric origins of M. leprae might be traced by de novo genome assembly. At around the same time, a shotgun metagenomics study applied to mummified lung tissue from an individual who died in Hungary in 1797 allowed genomic reconstruction of another Mycobacterium species, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and suggested infection with two genotypes (13).
Turning back to brucellosis, Kay et al. (14) applied shotgun metagenomics to calcified nodules from the skeleton of a 14th-century male excavated from the medieval Sardinian settlement of Geridu. Although the authors had initially once again suspected tuberculosis, they instead were able to recover a B. melitensis genome. While coverage (6.5-fold) was somewhat low, the use of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data in comparison with draft genomes emerging from an ongoing international Brucella whole-genome sequencing project sampling the global diversity of the genus (https://olive.broadinstitute.org/projects/brucella_ii, last accessed 18 July 2014) allowed phylogenetic placement of the genome. The genome was placed within a clade that includes the well-studied B. melitensis biovar 3 reference strain Ether, originally isolated from an Italian goat in 1961, two other more contemporary Italian isolates, and two additional isolates, one from Egypt and one of unknown origin. This placement was also confirmed by further analysis of deletions and IS711 insertions, which were found to be confined to Geridu and the five other strains in the clade in a comparison with all other B. melitensis genomes available. In support of the work truly reflecting recovery of an ancient Brucella genome, sequence reads showed signatures typical of ancient DNA, and it was confirmed that work was performed in a laboratory with no history of work with Brucella cultures or DNA. It has been suggested that the initial success of shotgun metagenomic approaches applied to Mycobacterium might reflect the unique properties of the cell walls of these organisms in the form of a robust hydrophobic layer of mycolic acids that may protect mycobacterial DNA from damage (15). A particularly important aspect of this study is therefore the evidence that, under the right conditions, whole-genome sequences can be derived from organisms with more fragile cell envelopes at least hundreds of years postmortem.
Although these approaches are not without controversy (16), shotgun metagenomics applied to ancient material represents a powerful new tool with the potential to shed light on the emergence, evolution, and spread of microbial pathogens, both contemporaneously and stretching back into history and perhaps even prehistory. The technique has the potential to add new perspectives to our understanding of historical events where the causative agent may be unclear; in addition, it will be invaluable for understanding relationships between pathogens today and those in the past, providing clues to the causes of increases or decreases in virulence over time and possibly enabling calibration of the rate of evolutionary change. Specifically with regard to Brucella, if even older genomes could be recovered in the future from human and animal remains, these might add to our understanding of how Brucella evolved into the ecotypes seen today and shed light on the historical and prehistoric associations between animal and human brucellosis.

SpaceDraft launches cloud-based SaaS platform
SpaceDraft's Lucy Cooke (L) with Martin Porebski and Mary Bowman. Image Supplied.
Perth-based award-winning startup SpaceDraft has launched its cloud-based SaaS platform that allows users to plan a space in 4D on a digital, shareable canvas – the first of its kind in the world.
Founded by 32-year-old Lucy Cooke – who spent close to a decade in Hollywood working in visual effects for an array of productions including Game of Thrones and Pirates of the Caribbean – the idea came about when she realised how much was spent on pre-visualisation and planning of shots.
"It sparked an idea to build a really simple technology to help anyone (without any technical skill) visualise any physical or virtual space and show how characters could interact with these spaces over time," she said.
Although the idea was conceived with the film industry in mind, the technology can be applied across various sectors including mining, education, oil & gas, physical mapping and events.
One lucrative sector where the platform is set to make an impact is the video game market – which is expected to double in value to $300 billion by the middle of the decade.
"SpaceDraft was initially designed as a virtual collaboration tool that was more efficient and cost-saving for film producers, and enabled virtual and physical spaces to be effectively planned before production," explained Lucy.
However, now that we've built SpaceDraft, one of our first markets is the video game sector. It's an enormous global market and we solve a major problem for the industry.
Lucy Cooke, SpaceDraft
A hit with Curtin
The idea sparked interest with Curtin University, especially given students could use this to design video games. They invested $50,000 of a recent $1.2 million seed round to grow both the team and design the 3D and sound capabilities.
Once the pandemic hit, staff and students at Curtin started using the platform as means of communicating ideas in other disciplines ranging from how to navigate around a submarine to designing hospital evacuation plans.
Along with edtech, the logistics, resources and emergency services are also employing the platform.
Given SpaceDraft now has over 60,000 BETA testers – some paying customers – along with 16 strategic partnerships, a provisional patent filed and growing in-house developers, Lucy believes her platform is poised well for strong growth.
"We know that we have a world-first product that intersects with a whole range of industries," she said.
"SpaceDraft solves a real problem. We are in a great position to grow and capitalise on our position into the future."
After working as a child actor in Perth, Lucy was trained as a film and television producer at the WA Screen Academy before moving to Sydney, where she worked on Gods of Egypt.
"I became the director's assistant for this $140 million film and all of a sudden I was given a car and corner office at Fox studios," she said.
Later she moved to Hollywood, where she worked on various productions and EA'd for Mel Gibson.
"Being a behavioural scientist also means I see things through a different lens – I can jump between software engineering conversations while being client-facing," she added.
"I could see problems which needed to be solved, particularly in relation to collaboration and the planning of sets and virtual spaces before production."
The company, which was last year's Startup of the Year at the Lateral INCITE awards, is currently raising $1.5M to supercharge growth both in Australia and overseas.
Curtin University is a sponsor of Startup News.
Listen to Lucy's story on episode 42 of the Startup West podcast (recorded in Sept 2020).

Q: Getting excluded variables between 2 tables I have two sql server 2005 tables like so:
Table A
varName  varStatus
AGE      Text
AGENDA   Text
TEACH    Text

Table B
varName   varDesc
ACT       Text
AGE       Text
SAT       Text
GPA       Text

I need one or two queries to get all the varNames between the two tables that are not in both tables. For instance, above example would use:
Table A:  AGENDA, TEACH
Table B: ACT, SAT, GPA

This is correct since AGE is the only varname that appears in both tables.

A: This query will give you all records that in A, but not in B
SELECT A.* FROM
A LEFT JOIN B ON A.varName = B.varName
WHERE B.varName IS NULL

Similarly, this query will give you records in B, but not in A
SELECT B.* FROM
A RIGHT JOIN B ON A.varName = B.varName
WHERE A.varName IS NULL

And finally, all you need to do is just to UNION both queries together
SELECT A.* FROM
A LEFT JOIN B ON A.varName = B.varName
WHERE B.varName IS NULL
UNION
SELECT B.* FROM
A RIGHT JOIN B ON A.varName = B.varName
WHERE A.varName IS NULL

A: If the variables can be in the single list, use a UNION with NOT IN
SELECT 'A' AS sourceTable, varName
FROM   tableA
WHERE  varName NOT IN (SELECT varName FROM tableB)
UNION ALL
SELECT 'B' AS sourceTable, varName
FROM   tableB
WHERE  varName NOT IN (SELECT varName FROM tableA)

A: (SELECT varName FROM tableA EXCEPT SELECT varName FROM tableB)
UNION
(SELECT varName FROM tableB EXCEPT SELECT varName FROM tableA)

Thousands of middle-class women in Boris' constituency mark their 'ex' on the ballot
by Charlotte Stofford
In a promiscuous turn of events, Boris Johnson's parliamentary seat in Uxbridge and South Ruislip is hanging in the balance after an unprecedented number of ballots were spoilt.
According to reports from the polling station, swathes of the country's most privileged women have misinterpreted the instruction to mark an 'x' on the ballot and are instead marking their 'ex' on the ballot – in this case, the Conservative party candidate Boris Johnson.
To try and make sense of the widespread confusion, we spoke with Tilly Boddington, who has come out as a contributor to Johnson's potential demise.
"Boris' name really jumped out at me as soon as I entered the polling booth," she told us in an exclusive interview, "I knew him all too well from our days of courting.
"Bo and I must have been in our late twenties when we first got together. We met at a not-so-conservative party, if you know what I mean," explained Tilly, winking saucily.
"It all ended when I overheard him talking to one of his pals about my best friend, Janine. He was going on and on about how his 'negotiations' with her were progressing well, and that he could tell a 'deal' was definitely on the way. I mentioned it to him and he broke up with me immediately. He said he had been meaning to 'get it done' anyway so he could 'unleash his potential'.
"Anyway, it was easy to cast my vote and mark an 'ex' – I would never have gone out with any of the others. I'm still in the process of getting over Boris, to be honest. I've tried to forget about him, but my son looks so much like him that it's hard not to think of him every day! So does Janine's for that matter."

Scored block is used to simulate the mortar joints of the units above and below. The scores are essentially false joints in the masonry unit. Scored block is manufactured by using a mold with the score already in place. Scored block can help you transform a plain masonry wall with little extra cost into a more pleasing design and add extra visual appeal without sacrificing any load bearing capability. Gray scored block is available in many sizes and shapes. Also available in color on a special order basis.
Splitface block provides an appearance of natural stone. Splitface units are molded with two units attached face to face, then mechanically split after curing to expose the natural beauty of aggregates. Splitface block has a rough texture to it. The broken aggregate provides both unique texture and appearance. The aggregates used in the splitting process will give each block its own distinct look; therefore, no two units are exactly the same. Quality Block is manufactured with black cinders. The natural rustic texture of a splitface block is a durable, economical, and virtual maintenance free alternative to many facings or veneers that are available today. It easily sets a design tone, mood or context and makes a dramatic statement. Gray splitface block and scored splitface block is available in many sizes and shapes. Also available in a variety of colors on a special order basis.
Sonoran block are units that are molded in rectangular patterns. The numbers of ribs is usually four per sixteen inches of unit length and have two-inch square projections from the face of the units seen in plain view. The Sonoran block are molded with two units attached face to face, then mechanically split after curing to expose the natural beauty of the aggregates. The broken aggregates provide both unique texture and appearance. The aggregates used in the splitting process will give each block its own distinct look; therefore, no two units are exactly the same. Gray Sonoran block is available in many sizes and shapes. Also available in a variety of colors on a special order basis.
Concrete block has high R-values for energy efficiency and will provide versatility and aesthetic appeal to any project. Design and creativity have no bounds when combining size and shape. Best of all, we can still benefit from the structural properties associated with traditional concrete masonry. Gray construction block is available in many sizes and shapes. Also available in a variety of colors on a special order basis.
Interlock fence block are manufactured in a tongue and groove fashion; therefore allowing the block to interlock with each other without mortar being used at the vertical joints. This process will allow for a quicker and easier installation process. In using a 4" wide interlock fence block, a column block must be used for vertical reinforcement. The column block will give stability at specific intervals. Fence block is available in two colors, Gray and Earthtone brown.

Fourth year Visual Arts UVic student Brandon Poole's show The Principle of Original Horizontality runs until Nov. 6 at the fifty fifty collective off Douglas Street.
Piecing it all together
UVic Visual Arts student Brandon Poole talks about his show The Principle of Original Horizontality
Sara Wilson
Nov. 4, 2016 10:00 a.m.
As the ground violently shook beneath the feet of terrified bystanders on June 23rd 1946… it set events into motion that would take a young, inexperienced sailor on a path of transformation into one of Victoria's emerging artists.
But, it's been a long time coming for Brandon Poole.
With a few detours through journalism, photography, sailing, philosophy and carpentry –– Poole finally feels at peace with his craft.
The naturally shy, soft-spoken, fourth year Visual Arts student at the University of Victoria, can seem uncomfortable with the spotlight at times, but the walls start to break down when he talks about his latest work, currently being showcased by the not-for-profit, volunteer-run, fifty fifty arts collective.
His show – The Principle of Original Horizontality – runs until Nov. 6.
"It's kind of a mad science project," he said.
It's similar, but a bit more sophisticated.
The project centres around a streamlined modern house built in 1946, the same year the largest earthquake to ever hit Vancouver Island occurred with an epicentre bullseyed on Campbell River. The exhibit features a flat-screen TV mounted to the wall in a semi-enclosed area at the back of the white-walled gallery.
The TV plays three video clips on a constant loop.
The first clip shows a house on Denison Road in Victoria's south.
As Poole's research progressed, the links between the house and Francis Denison — Victoria's first seismologist — takes an eerie turn.
"It seemed everywhere I turned, something would pop up. Like for instance … this house was being renovated when I encountered it and it was being seismically upgraded," he said.
"A hundred and fifty metres from this house is the Gonzales Hall Observatory that was Denison designed and built, and where Victoria's seismograph equipment was housed. Francis Denison also died a day after the 1946 earthquake. So there's this odd sort of oscillation of events. … all this weird stuff that just kind of kept falling on to each other."
The second clip is simply just a black screen, with a red laser level running across the middle of it.
Until the floor rumbles.
And then that precise red line jumps, like a heart beat on a monitor.
"The laser level line that is projecting into the space on top of the projection screen is playing out the earthquake that I got the seismogram information from the Geological Survey of Canada," he explained.
There's a contact microphone picking the vibrations in an eccentric rotating motor that's attached to a subwhoofer, causing the space to shake.
The third clip is of a military green steel production machine, feeding and prepping blood red crepe paper through production. The vibrancy of the paper is carried through on to a large wooden frame, where it's hung to create a laternesque look.
The exhibit showcases Poole's creativity, intellect and philosophical sides, and challenges viewers to piece the puzzle together on their own.
"This is the first work I've done that I've made use of skills that I studied," he said. "When I went to journalism school I was too shy to be a good journalist. I didn't have the confidence to really get into other peoples stories, and I felt that this work is the first time I've chased leads. But that is the great thing about art; it doesn't have to add up in any sort of coherent way. You can just gesture towards coincidences rather than have to state them out right. That being said, I have a lot of people come in and they want to know how it all connects, so I do end up talking about the connections."
Poole's vision caught the attention of judges who short-listed him for the Presentation's House Gallery's Lind Prize — a $5,000 award that supports emerging artists working with video, photography and film.
As this exhibit winds down, Poole looks to new inspirations for his next piece and merges more into the cinematic world of video.
"I'm interested in the relationship between images and objects … that really fine line that makes the jump from a photograph to a video. So many early work was just all set up the camera on the tripod and film and then let things happen in the space in the composition and so that work there that you saw of the Christmas cracker machine, is the most cinematic work I've done so far," he said.
Poole will be part of panel discussion Nov. 5 from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Open Space for a panel discussion with Victoria artists Trudi Lynn Smith, Cedric Bomford, Brandon Poole as well as artists from the current exhibition The Absence Of The Origin Of Its Likeness, Arnold Koroshegyi, and Laura Dutton. Each artist will introduce his/her own practice and will then engage in a discussion around contemporary photography. Lynda Gammon will moderate the panel and audience participation will be encouraged.

The timing was pawfect, so I happily agreed to woof about TTPM - Toys, Tots, Pets, & More (recently launched by the PET channel). TTPM is a one stop website for reviews, price comparisons, one click shopping, and availability at major retailers.
Screen shot of my visit to the TTPM pet product page.
TTPM reviews are mostly video reviews so you can see the product in use. My biggest whine is that humans do the talking - BOL!
Screen shot of a TTPM review I visited.
TTPM is a great website if your human is looking for a present to get you for Pet Appreciation Week. Now that I know your humans have another place where they can check out some fun pet toys, I won't worry when my human can't type for me.
I still have dozens of products to pawsonally review for all of you, but like I mentioned earlier, I can't test every pet product on the market. I even a woofed a few kitty pals into helping me test products this year. TTPM helps me share information about more products - many of which are not on my testing list. Plus, TTPM makes the shopping part really easy. Y'all know this Pommie princess loves to shop!
Disclosure: Pepper's Paws is being compensated for sharing this information. Pepper's Paws only shares information we believe is relevant to our audience. My opinions are my own and not influenced by others. Pepper's Paws is proud to be a TTPM Pet Paw-tner.
That looks like it would help you immensely in your reviews. This is a website that ma would check out to see what she wants to buy me for Christmas. Glad you're back to blogging. I was starting to worry about you.
Thank you. Mom is still taking a break it seems, but she keeps telling me she will type for me eventually. I guess she is a little burnt out and needs to be in the human world more. LOL!
I woulduke to follow your blog but I do not have face book.

Seal of Approval: Outsider Design Stirs Controversy in Independence County
Flags are generally supposed to be simple and clean, while seals are allowed a bit more flexibility and complexity, at least up to a point. When a new seal for Independence County, Arkansas was announced back in August, it drew a lot of criticism. Commenters wondered at what looked like a winged pizza, lightning bolts with questionable historical associations, as well as other details of the unveiled winner.
Eric, an area resident and 99pi fan, wrote in recently to explain how this design came to be, reporting that this controversial-yet-competition-winning seal was the product of a simple problem: few knew there was any competition to begin with.
For many locals, seeing the "winning" seal in the local newspaper was a surprise. And "it was a huge flop," writes Eric. He recalls seeing "a blurb about it back in May," but that "otherwise there seemed to be no promotion" of the contest. He describes the winner as someone "from Norway who just enters flag/seal design competitions for fun, hoping to one day cross 'design an official seal' off of [their] bucket list."
Whatever their motivation, the designer seemed to have gotten their wish. In the weeks that followed, however, the design proved so contentious that the county agreed to revisit it. Meanwhile, the tension was not one-sided — some community members were flattered that someone from another nation would put time into learning about their county and researching relevant symbols for their seal. Also, to be fair, the seal did reflect a number of common design conventions, including peripheral text and a series of symbols arrayed around a central icon.
The Brief and Tumultuous Life of the New UC…
In a recent press release, Independence County Judge Robert Griffin wrote: "No one knew the seal was sent from Norway and none of us could have suspected it would have been possible since it mentioned so many things about our county." But he praised the designer's enthusiasm: "The truth is that he put in an effort that was remarkable." Griffin also defended the contest, noting that while it only generated two submissions, various public announcements had been made. Regardless, the seal had stirred conflict, so a resolution was needed.
The final version of the new seal is a hybrid creation. Griffin's letter went on to explain it as "the result of a Norwegian's view from Norway of Independence County, coupled with a local design that was considered and brought to life by a local designer." Looking back on the process, he muses: "I would have never thought that a seal competition would have traveled that path but truly, we have something unique." Whatever one thinks of the original or revised seal, it was the product of an international collaboration, which few counties can boast.

This feels similar to the branding fiasco of Frederick, MD (where I live). The town, which previously only had a traditional seal, decided to brand itself last summer, but instead of engaging a local design company (of which there are many), they engaged a large design firm in Florida, which produced a brand that, at least judging by public response to the unveiling, had no local supporters. The outcry was so immediate and loud that Frederick reversed course less than 10 days later and decided to abandon the branding and just stick with the seal.

"I'm not allowed to have layers?"
(SPOILER) Jane Espenson's commentary on Torchwood: Miracle Day. It'll be a regular Monday feature at AfterElton for the duration of the series. And yes she was thrilled to see youknowwho in the first episode.
Simon | Cast&Crew | 13:45 CET | 43 comments total | tags: jane espenson, torchwood
I watched, but who is youknowwho? I didn't see anyone surprising except for the guy who used to be on Greek!
Brierly | July 11, 13:46 CET
Robin Sachs! I was pleased as punch to see him.
Simon | July 11, 13:48 CET
I had to wiki him. I had no idea he was Ethan Rayne, nor do I know who he played on Torchwood.
The article states both of those things, however.
@theonetruebix | July 11, 13:55 CET

It was only a few seconds, but so great to see Sachs. Wish he got more work.
Caroline | July 11, 14:26 CET
Missed him, must go back and find him.
The earmuffs scene was my favorite. It was well done and not so hokey. I totally believed Gwen would grab them and put them on her baby.
Will this be linked weekly? I know that I'll forget this by next Monday.
hann23 | July 11, 14:43 CET
Probably not. I think a heads up about the series of articles is enough coverage.
Follow her on Twitter; I'm sure she'll tweet when they go up.
Thanks, Jane! I'm not going to register over there just to comment, but know that, by hook or by crook *winkwinknudgenudge*, I WILL be watching this show from Korea.
RobinInSeoul | July 11, 15:18 CET
Was it any good? This is coming from a big doctor who fan who never could quite enjoy Torchwood.
Sparticus | July 11, 15:57 CET
I'm actually a fair Torchwood fan, and I love Jane without reservation, but I think she was watching a different show than me. Everything she found delightful, I found to be bad writing/acting and full of logical holes.
I still liked the ep, but Torchwood:Children of Earth hit such high quality standards that this new season feels a bit of a let down so far. Hopefully it will improve drastically.
But YAY Jane for at least doing the commentaries.
mr_bigpileofdust | July 11, 17:32 CET
I thought the first episode was pretty great, but I have been in TW withdrawal mode for 2 years now so I am gladly eating everything they serve me---and even licking the plate!
Didn't immediately recognise Robin Sachs (I just knew that I knew him) but great to see him on there.
Liked the episode just fine largely for the reasons Jane points out. It was a lot of setup but then there was a lot to setup and I did smile at RTD's underlining of "So wait, Wales is separate ?" and the bridge thing (note to the CIA expenses office: if he'd flown into Manchester he could've just driven down across the border for free). Gwen with ear-defended baby in one hand, gun in another was hilarious and cool at once, Jack's reveal and when he realises that when everyone else's switch went one way his was toggled the other was cool (though I thought they maybe belaboured it a bit towards the end, not to mention were really indiscreet in front of a complete stranger - and agent of a foreign power - re: the whole immortality thing).
And wild Wales looked lovely of course, particularly the beach and Old Rectory at Rhossili (though NOT making pretty much anywhere on the Gower Peninsula look lovely would be the real achievement). You can stay there BTW, it's a holiday cottage for rent (prices start at about �2000 for a week right enough ;).
Saje | July 12, 02:20 CET
Wait, growing up I thought that house at Rhossili was haunted. I mean, that's the story we've always been told, and so consequentially told everyone else.
Well, on the basis that every single thing I was told (or told someone else) while growing up was 100% true then it must be. Which is probably how Gwen found out about it (some sort of Torchwood investigation). Nothing else even remotely makes sense.
(google tells me one of the reputed haunters is one Reverend John Ponsonby Lucas who rides up and down the bay doing stuff. Being restless i'd imagine. There're others but none with quite such entertaining names - Ponsonby Smythe would've been even better but that's hardly his fault. I blame his parents)
Is that the same stretch of beach that was used in the original Prisoner show or is that another part of Wales? Sure looked familiar. I know the Village is Portmerion (sp?).
I have to agree with mr_bigpileofdust. Another big problem for me was the editing. That whole sequence of the CIA guys trip to Wales while having a conversation on the phone was just a mess. And the tone of the episode was all over the place and it didn't feel like they got a good balance between the drama and humour. It'll be interesting to see if maybe the extra 9 minutes of the UK version smooths some of that out. But I guess those are pretty nit-picky type of complaints and I'm still looking forward to the rest.
Kaan | July 12, 04:07 CET
Is that the same stretch of beach that was used in the original Prisoner show or is that another part of Wales?
Not sure but I doubt it. Portmeirion's quite a way further round and up the coast (it's in north Wales) so i'd imagine they just filmed the beach scenes of 'The Prisoner' there or thereabouts (e.g. White Sands Bay, Portmeirion's own - smallish - sandy beach).
I'm excited for the UK version to air so we can find out just what was cut and what was added. Since this is on Starz, I'm hoping for Spartacus-esque full frontal nudity! Cap'n Jack nekkid? Please please please!!!
There are lots of beaches like that, and actually ones that are easier to film on further north. Rhossili bay (the Torchwood beach) is a bugger to film on I imagine because it's relatively busy and hard to get a vehicle down to. North Wales has more deserted ones.
"Is that the same stretch of beach that was used in the original Prisoner show or is that another part of Wales? "
No I believe that was shot elsewhere in Wales ( Portmeirion) and what you saw on TW was shot in an area called the Gower.

Wait, why are the UK and US versions different? I wasn't aware of that...
Raeven7 | July 12, 09:43 CET
Raeven7, Starz! shows are around 50-54 minutes long and BBC shows need to be close to the full 60 minutes. There has been talk that some of the more graphic stuff from the US version will be toned down for BBC and that there will be extra (mostly filler I assume) time of other stuff added to the BBC version. I seriously doubt a casual viewer would be able to tell the difference. They won't put actual additional plot points in either version.
IrrationaliTV | July 12, 09:59 CET
Except for that startling bit about Gwen's baby being made entirely out of chocolate.
Nah, that was foreshadowed in series 2 when Owen ate that Yorkie. The cottage cheese aliens were a surprise though (I mean, it's among the least intimidating of all the cheeses).
The US and UK versions of many shows are different Raeven7, usually just for time, sometimes also for content, it's not at all a new thing or unique to 'Torchwood'. The extent of it will be interesting to see first hand though - apparently when 'Spooks' first made its way over to the US (as 'MI5') entire subplots were jettisoned in order to make up the 15-ish minutes of advert time and it's hard to see that not making a significant difference to the show but I never watched 'MI5' so had no way to tell. Curious whether the 8-ish extra minutes of 'Torchwood' will add anything worthwhile (it's kind of odd to think of Starz creating an extra 8 minutes they know their viewers won't get to see but I guess that's a consequence of the co-pro deal...io. Or maybe they'll stick it on their website as extra scenes ?).
Saje, I have a hard time believing that there will be entire extra scenes rather than just tighter editing on the Starz! version. Ad supported US shows have around 41-44 minutes runtime. Premium pay cable (like Starz!) shows can be anywhere from 50-55 minutes.
[ edited by IrrationaliTV on 2011-07-12 22:46 ]
Whatever the case, I hope the eventual DVD release features "expanded" episodes with nothing cut out. I don't want to see the new UK stuff as deleted scenes, I want it fully integrated into the episode along with what would have been cut from Starz.
Yeah, i'd think the DVD sets will have the whole shebang (presumably subject to certification concessions for the appropriate regions/countries). I don't own any 'Torchwood' on DVD because in the UK BBC DVDs are overpriced IMO (which I particularly resent since i've already paid for the shows once) but series 4 may be one I have to buy if I want to watch it in its most complete form.
Ad supported US shows have around 41-44 minutes runtime. Premium pay cable (like Starz!) shows can be anywhere from 50-55 minutes.
Episode 1 is 51:12 including credits and 'Next time...' preview, BBC hour shows are usually about 59 ish (also inc. credits/preview). I dunno of course (until I see it) but 7-8 minutes seems a lot to just be trimmings from scenes without it initially being written "flabby" (and whatever we may think of RTD as a writer I don't see him sitting thinking "And now to add the pointless crap so that we can cut it for Starz" ;). Agreed though, it obviously won't be essential plot stuff, presumably it'll "just" be character beats, extra dialogue, fleshing out backstories and so on (maybe the odd culturally specific reference ? Though id've thought that'd be part of its appeal too so maybe not).
As I say though, we'll see, should be interesting.
^^ On iTunes, the running time for episode is 54 minutes and some odd seconds. What's that about?
** episode ONE
54:01. Huh, weird. Beats me (FWIW the ever reliable - *cough* ;) - Wikipedia also has it down at 50 minutes. Which, credits and preview aside, seems to match).
Is there a "Previously on..." with it maybe ?
It's on iTunes? Where? I haven't been able to find it.
MissKittysMom | July 12, 15:34 CET
I can't find it on iTunes either. Maybe it's only on iTunes in the UK or Canada? It makes sense that Starz! would limit its availability in the states since the way they make money is through subscriptions not the tiny amount of money iTunes brings in.
^^ It's on iTunes Canada and the episode runs 54:01. Perhaps they are using the BBC version?
The episode I watched in Canada on Space on Saturday night, I have no idea if it was the Starz or BBC version. Since Space breaks into British or cable shows with commercials, the show was broadcast from 9:10-10:20 PM. I have emailed Space to try to find out which version they're showing.
Not sure exactly how the spoiler policy works, but can I just say that the UK broadcast is several days behind the US, so any extra caution taken over spoilery things in headlines would be appreciated. (This post is perfect in this regard.)

Well, I couldn't see a blind bit of difference, anybody else ? The BBC broadcast seemed to air without cuts but also without anything extra that I could tell - it ended at the same place about 50 minutes after starting, no scenes seemed longer, no extra scenes etc. The time between the end of the episode and the 10 o'clock news was filled with an entire series preview about 5 minutes long (viewed through squinty eyes, sound down) and then trails for other shows (mainly The Apprentice which, y'know, whatever).
Maybe other episodes'll have significant differences but Episode 1 not so much (didn't expect cuts right enough since there wasn't really much in the Starz version that the BBC wouldn't show).
I think the scene where Gwen and Rhys kissed in the hospital was longer. Come to think of it, I don't remember those two kissing in the Starz version.
But we Starz viewers were promised all the sex!
Some people say the preview of the entire season wasn't included in the Starz version (instead just a preview of the next episode).
They're also saying the picture quality is different.
I still wanna know which version Canada is getting!
Nah, Rhys and Gwen kiss in the Starz version too, dunno whether it's longer/shorter/the same length but they definitely kiss (and in both versions it's long enough that it's more a snog than a kiss, no mere peck on the cheek but more the apparent prelude to kicking an ICU patient out of bed and going at it ;).
And I didn't watch the preview at the end of the Starz version either but it was certainly much shorter, just based on elapsed time, more like a "Next time..." whereas the BBC one explicitly said "This Season...".
I know this topic is probably long dead now, but just wanted to pipe in with my opinions on the the opener.
Reading Jane's commentary, she does manage to pick out the bits I did like. Basically, the Wales scenes and the moments with Jack. So, everything with the old characters. The new characters I was less involved with. Everything seemed to just be diving headlong into the story, without much consideration of letting the viewer get the new characters. Rex is possibly the one this applies least to and he comes out of the episode as the most interesting on the CIA people (I did enjoy the bit with the pills that Jane points out, although I agree with Kaan that editing for travelling to Wales sequence was pretty horrific.)
Still, I like the concept that suddenly no one can die and perhaps once the Torchwood team reach America things will pick up on that side of the pond.

Long-lost American remains retrieved from Pacific WWII battlefield
Dec 7, 2022, 12:30 PM | Updated: 2:25 pm
BY MIKE VALERIO, CNN
(CNN) — On a remote Pacific sandbar, replete with the ravages of war, a small group of veterans, volunteers and archeologists are doing their best to keep the enduring promise of "no man left behind."
According to the Department of Defense, nearly half of the known American casualties from the Battle of Tarawa were never recovered. Approximately 1,000 Marines and sailors lost their lives on the small sandbar November 20-23, 1943, in the US military's first offensive of the war in the central Pacific.
Graves remained lost for decades, Pentagon historians write, because of bad record keeping, poor memories, and in some instances, war infrastructure inadvertently built over service members' unmarked final resting places. DOD records show by 1950, a military board declared hundreds of Americans who fought and died on the island "non-recoverable," leaving families without words, images or ideas of where the young men rested.
After excavation efforts paused during the pandemic, teams will return to the lonely atoll, with the goal of returning as many remains of US service members as they can.
A WWII history buff, vets, and archeologists find lost 1943 graves
"This is not a normal thing for somebody to be doing," said Paul Schwimmer, a retired US Army Green Beret who searches for American remains with the non-profit group, History Flight, who added a new chapter of history is unfolding along the isolated and idyllic shore.
"Don't tell us these men are not recoverable, give us a chance to go after them."
Government figures show 72,627 Americans are currently classified as missing in action from World War II. There are more US troops missing from 1941-1945, than from all other wars with US involvement combined.
In 2003, commercial pilot and World War II history aficionado Mark Noah founded History Flight. The group's initial aim was to preserve American aviation history, an outgrowth of Noah's love of antiquity, aircraft and his family tradition of scholarship.
"My father was a diplomat for the State Department, a Harvard and MIT-trained sinologist," Noah said in an interview with CNN. "I was born in China, where my dad was posted, and I was able to see the lingering effects of World War II up close. That was the beginning of a fascination with the Second World War."
Noah relates the multitude of missing service members to those missing in his own life.
"Four of my close friends in Beijing disappeared during Tiananmen Square," Noah said. "And I've always wondered where they fell into, this deep void, the unknown. And at a subconscious level, it's one of the reasons why I'm driven to find our missing Americans, especially when we know where they are, on an island."
Noah said 2008 was a turning point, when History Flight's mission changed from aviation to recovery missions.
"I was doing research about a missing airplane that crashed in the lagoon of Tarawa, and I was shocked at just how many people were missing on this small island," Noah said.
"So, I self-funded what became our first Tarawa excavation, and with all of those people missing in such a small place, we chose Tarawa because we thought we could deliver a project with a high probability of success." The cost was $25,000, with a team of 10 people.
A cadre of veterans, scientists and students interviewed residents who found bones underneath their homes. The non-profit also used ground-penetrating radar on the atoll, ultimately finding scores of American graves buried within a working commercial seaport.
In the decade since its first dig, History Flight has led to the identification of 96 American service members killed on Tarawa, according to the branch of the Pentagon charged with finding US military remains, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency.
"That number undoubtedly will go up," agency spokesperson Johnie Webb said.
'I thank them eternally, and forever'
In a cozy East Wenatchee, Washington, living room, twins Don and David McCannel held the crumbling and corroded helmet buried with their uncle, Gunnery Sgt. Arthur B. Summers, a Tarawa Marine once considered missing in action.
Summers' near-complete skeleton is among the latest remains discovered by History Flight. His return home for burial in America followed a now familiar ritual of repatriation: Delicately-handled bones are discovered on Tarawa, then flown to the US for positive identification, and finally, re-buried with full military honors.
The McCannel twins are now 76 years old, born three years after a telegram told their mother Summers was killed in action, his body missing on a faraway Pacific island.
"My most vivid memory is, when I was about 10 years old, my mother said to me, 'my brother was killed in Tarawa and his body was never recovered,'" David McCannel described in an interview. "She didn't cry. She just said he's gone forever."
Schwimmer, the retired Green Beret with History Flight, said he was within the Tarawa excavation site when Summers' remains were discovered in 2019, and attended Summers' Washington funeral in August 2022.
"To see this, to look over my shoulder, to put my hand on the casket and say, 'Hey bud, I saw you in 2019. I took you from Tarawa to here.' For me, that's great," Schwimmer said. "Now, put me back on an airplane, get me in the field, I got work to do."
Summers was killed on November 23, 1943, the final day of fighting on the island, and according to military records, the day Summers' second enlistment extension was to expire.
"I thank them eternally, and forever," Don McCannel said of History Flight and those responsible for Summers' identification. "My uncle Arthur did his duty, and these men and women today did theirs, truly."
No margin for error
The Pentagon agency tasked with finding the remains of an astounding 81,500 Americans missing since World War I, contracts Tarawa excavation work with History Flight. But the agency itself is solely responsible for the process of DNA identification.
There is no margin for error. Scientists and military personnel from Hawaii, Nebraska and Delaware finish the process of uniting stories, names, and family histories with the skeletal remains of US troops.
Dr. John Byrd, the agency's laboratory director, explained the challenges of dealing with DNA from that era. "They're highly degraded, there's only a tiny amount of DNA left in there at all. And our DNA lab is the best in the world at extracting what little bit is left in there."
Byrd said the average time to identify an individual is 2.5 years, but can be as quickly as two weeks.
"When none of the stars are aligned, it can take several years. We have ID's we've made after more than 10 years, when we finally got enough evidence together to be able to prove the identity."
For Summers' remains, delivered to the agency's Pearl Harbor laboratory in July 2019, the DOD agency was able to make a positive DNA identification in a matter of months, on October 17, 2019.
The identification process explained
First, remains arrive at an agency laboratory in Honolulu, or Omaha, Nebraska. "They come from a variety of sources, from our own excavations, and from excavations from our partners … We also do a lot of disinterments of unknown remains, right from our national cemeteries," Byrd explained.
Next, as the remains are assigned to evidence managers, scientists determine which tests are needed to identify the remains. The majority will involve DNA testing, but other methods, such as dental records, can be used.
DNA testing and other identification work then begins. Samples are sent to the Armed Forces DNA Identification Lab in Dover, Delaware, and a type of identification known as stable isotope analysis can also be performed at the agency's Pearl Harbor lab. The isotope testing is used to trace remains' geographic origin.
Finally, test results are evaluated, and perhaps even more testing is needed.
"You love it when the test results come back in, and they clearly direct you to one individual that these remains should be," Byrd said. "But we also sometimes get results that aren't strong enough to point to one person only. And then we have to find another way to try to resolve the case other than the testing we did in the first round … that is one of the most difficult steps for many of our cases."
Work is still to be done
History Flight estimates their Tarawa excavation efforts are halfway finished.
"We believe about 250 sets of remains can still be found, and we want to keep going," History Flight founder Mark Noah said.
The non-profit's vice president, retired U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Maj. Justin LeHew, is currently walking across America, from Boston to Newport, Oregon, to donations for the group's ongoing work in the Pacific.
LeHew served in the 2nd Marine Division, the same (albeit modern day) combat element which engaged in the Battle of Tarawa in November 1943. His previous chapter of military service includes receiving the Navy Cross, awarded for his 2003 role in rescuing ambushed soldiers in Iraq, including Pfc. Jessica Lynch.
"Team members are putting in the work for the missing," LeHew wrote on Facebook, as his walk on U.S. Highway 20, America's longest road, approached Yellowstone National Park.
"This specific road was selected to highlight the long journey home that over 81,000 missing U.S. Servicemembers have been trying to make since World War II," LeHew said.
"We know that we can fulfill this promise of 'no one left behind' on Tarawa," Noah added. "We simply need people to know we're there, to know about us, put the financial resources in place, and help us carry on this sacred mission."

Stop scrambling for clients and blending in with everyone else. Use inbound marketing to grow.
You're a service provider in a cutthroat economy. One of your biggest challenges is to find new clients consistently.
The rules have changed. Not just with the marketing tactics and platforms that are available, but in clients' expectations. Service providers who reach them in the right places and times will thrive.
OneIMS operates at the intersection between technology and winning marketing strategy. Our biggest priority is to create a client-generation system for you that's both consistent and effective. Partnering with us gets more clients in your door, and frees up time so you can focus on serving them.
For the huge pool of service providers competing for limited business, differentiation can be challenging.
How can your law practice or architecture firm stand out from all the others? Without differentiation, you give prospects nothing to go on besides the fees you charge. You become a replaceable commodity.
OneIMS helps you recognize the attributes, skills, and philosophy that make your business uniquely valuable. We meld the visual with the messaging to convey this value to potential clients consistently across every platform you interact on.
Having a clear brand identity makes you someone worth paying attention to and doing business with. Think about people waiting in line overnight for the newest iPhone. Wouldn't it be nice to inspire that kind of loyalty?
Networking events, professional associations, and word-of-mouth referrals are the traditional lifeblood of service businesses.
Those strategies can still work very well. But relying on them too heavily makes it impossible to predict how much business you'll bring in. It's feast or famine – and tough to schedule the workload.
OneIMS helps you harness the power of digital marketing. Reach wider audiences and build relationships at scale. Most importantly, shift your strategy to where your clients are already looking: online.
Clients are more empowered than ever before. They're on forums and review sites, reading articles and social media. Working with us helps you meet them early and often. This gives you time to build credibility and relationships that last.
One of the biggest dilemmas for service providers?
Juggling client work and marketing.
At OneIMS we understand that time is your most valuable asset. That's why we help you develop a system to find the right leads, nurture them, and move them toward becoming clients – whether you're working or not.
Wrack up those billable hours and focus on serving clients. Rest easy knowing that our strategies are appealing to new leads at every stage of the process.
The competition for service providers has never been tighter. But with the right marketing partner's help, your opportunities to stand out are endless.
It's time to stop "binge marketing" and then neglecting it whenever you get too busy. Instead, develop a system that consistently attracts new clients. Free up time to focus on serving the clients you have right now.

Last year, the much-vaunted Iran nuclear deal fell apart when President Trump pulled the United States out of the agreement, imposed new sanctions, and pressured American allies to stop doing business with Iran. With Trump's policy now seemingly settled, what is going to become of Iran's relations with Europe and other major powers, such as Russia and China? On this episode, Dina Esfandiary examines the challenges Iran faces with regional and global powers following the United States' withdrawal from the Iran deal.

With the holidays fast approaching there will be numerous parties and gatherings. These Spanish Rice Stuffed Mushrooms are the perfect appetizer to serve at your own parties or to take to one you're attending.
We have a homecoming, a wedding and a baby shower all within the next two weeks. I'm pretty sure that these will be making an appearance at at least two of these events.
I'm always looking for recipes that are short on prep time but big on presentation and flavor. This recipe fills all of these requirements! Your friends and family will think you slaved over these little beauties but in reality the most time consuming part is waiting for your rice to cook.
As written this recipe packs a huge amount of spicy as in spicy hot! If you don't care for a lot of spice you can always dial it back by reducing the amount of peppers or even omitting them if you prefer. If you decide to omit the peppers all together then add bell peppers and/or celery in their place, for crunch and color.
Here's a little tip if you want to get more bang for your time. Double this recipe and use the remaining Spanish rice as a side dish or in burritos for the next day.
My family loved this rice mixture and it's definitely going to be a family favorite for us. We eat a lot of Mexican dishes so I can see this as a staple in our house.
I really loved cooking with the Mahatma Basmati rice. It takes the dish from everyday to something a little extra special. The grains do not puff up or clump like your typical white rice and they keep their shape while still being soft with great flavor.
Do you have a favorite rice dish? What are your go to recipes for the holidays?
I've added some process photos for you. I hope you find them helpful.
Cook basmati rice according to package instructions.
Clean mushrooms and remove stems. Dice mushroom stems and set aside to use in filling.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a skillet and heat over medium heat until hot.
Add serrano, habanero and garlic to skillet and cook until fragrant.
Add mushroom stems, corn, diced tomatoes, salt to skillet and continue to cook until heated through.
Fold in cooked rice and cilantro.
Place mushrooms in a 9x11 baking pan and fill with Spanish rice mixture.
I've got to make these! Yum!
I love these stuffed mushrooms! love the spanish rice!
I could make a meal from these tasty gems!!
Perfect appetizer idea for a night with friends and wine! Love everything about this recipe, thanks!
This is the best idea yet! Love spanish rice, love stuffed mushrooms...perfect together!

COVID-19: New Brunswick education minister hoping for normal school year
Education News / By Frigg
FREDERICTON — New Brunswick's education minister said Wednesday he is hoping for a "reasonably normal" school year as students get ready for another academic term with COVID-19 still posing a threat.
COVID-19 will continue to present challenges, and the government has put some measures in place to help keep the virus at bay, Dominic Cardy told reporters. Teachers are "strongly encouraged" to have children outside as much as possible and use air filtration systems when inside the classroom, he said.
Schools are set to reopen from the summer break next week, and masking is no longer mandatory for students or staff.
Adam Bowie, spokesman for the Health Department, said everyone has a role to play in keeping schools healthy and reducing the spread of germs and illnesses.
Public health officials are asking students, staff and their families to do their own risk assessment to determine how they would be affected by COVID-19 and to take appropriate precautions, he said in an email. Vaccines and general hygiene such as hand washing and covering one's mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing remain the best ways to fight COVID-19, he added.
"Students and staff will also be asked to be patient and kind with others, remembering that everyone has a different comfort and risk level," Bowie said. "If someone wants to wear a mask, that's OK, and they'll be supported."
Dr. Mark MacMillan, president of the New Brunswick Medical Society, said physicians want people to remember that COVID-19 is still around. "We still have to be cognizant of that," he said. "That it is still present in the environment."
People should consider wearing a mask when they are in an indoor space such as a school or a public library and when around those who are vulnerable or have a weakened immune system, MacMillan said. "We need to continue to think of others as we think about ourselves, and try to protect ourselves and those around us."
There has been a "slight increase" in COVID-19 infections over the past few weeks and more people have died because of the virus, he said.
The province reported an increase in hospitalizations due to COVID-19 from 21 to 33 for the week of Aug. 21 to 27. New Brunswick health officials also reported four fatalities related to the virus.
MacMillan said public health is working closely with the Department of Education to monitor COVID-19 numbers. If the number of infections rises, he said officials will consider making changes.
"Whether that be temporary closures of a classroom, or you know, temporary masking mandates depending on the situation," he said.
He emphasized the importance of students getting back to school and being with others of their own age, noting it will help children in their mental health. "It's been two and a half years of pandemic time and many students are very excited with the idea of getting back in the classroom."
Cardy said there may be some room to accommodate home learning for students with weakened immune systems.
"But we have to maintain that's a fairly strict line," he said. "We'll do our best to accommodate where we can, but it is limited by resources."
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 31, 2022.

Trump may have just ceded the peace issue in 2020 to the Democrats. If Sanders emerges as the nominee, we will have an election with a Democrat running on the "no-more-wars" theme Trump touted in 2016. And Trump will be left defending the bombing of Yemeni rebels and civilians by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia. Does Trump really want to go into 2020 as a war party president? Prediction: by the primaries of 2020, foreign policy will be front and center, and the Democratic Party will have captured the "no more wars" political high ground that candidate Donald Trump occupied in 2016.
Because he is such a true believer in the classic Eric Hoffer sense, Sanders can be an effective campaigner. He never shows, probably never even experiences, doubt, even when the facts are radically against him. The ends justify the means, don't you know? It's mean to say this, but by repeating this long-discredited socialist cant until he is blue in the face, Bernie Sanders is a kind of child abuser, injecting his meretricious swill into our all-too-gullible youth who have nowhere near the education to analyze it. We saw that in action on Monday night. The Fox town hall should be a good training ground for Trump. He should pay close attention to it, keep it close by as a training video.
They are too old to occupy the nation's highest office, not because they are out of touch or because their records are out of line with today's sensibilities, but because they are just too old. For those who respond, "Well, what about Trump?" remember: If the president serves two terms, he will leave the White House at 78, the oldest ever in office. But that is the age Biden would begin his presidency. And Sanders is a year older. Will Democrats will realize that and will nominate a candidate who draws a clear generational contrast with President Trump?


This weeks cover story for Newsweek, written by fake conservative Andrew Sullivan, asks the burning question: "Why are you so dumb?"
Apparently, the unwashed masses do not see how Obama holds out an extreme leftist view, gets attacked for it, then actually implements some moderate idea that the people with brains all sing and dance around or.....something.Unfortunately the entire article is full of liberal "facts" that just dont add up. It's basically the same 'ole line "BUSH DID IT!" and Obama had to clean it up.
That line isn't working any more kids. Obama has no idea what he is doing-the out-of-control debt, soaring unemployment, business killing regulation and a housing market that has NEVER in history been so bad, show us that.
Enjoy your fantasy Mr. Sullivan, the time for waking is near.
