Spice of the Month: Star Anise
Filed under: Spice of the Month — ggrieser @ 7:52 pm
Star anise (Illicium verum), with its sensual curves, firm body and alluring scent, wins the spice beauty pageant! And it's beauty is more than skin deep.
The perfect 8-pointed star with slender pods, each pod cradling a seed, is the sun-dried fruit of native Chinese evergreens. Its most noticeable characteristic is it's licorice aroma – much stronger, sweeter and denser than the more common Spanish anise seeds. This licorice taste comes from anethol, just one of this spice's compounds that have been shown to possess healing powers for a wide range of maladies, such as fighting infections, relieving arthritis, colic, cough, indigestion and more.
Buying and Storage
Buy whole, broken pieces or ground. Intact stars are more for aesthetics than a matter of taste or freshness; broken pieces most likely indicate aggressive handling during shipping or packaging. A whole star should have no more than 8 points (carpals). You don't want to confuse it with Japanese star anise which has more points and is poisonous – AND is not sold on the open market! The Japanese version also smells like turpentine or denatured alcohol, not licorice, so it's quite easy to distinguish.
Best test for freshness: you should be able to detect its aroma immediately. No aroma means it's past it's time. Whole star anise has a long storage life: 5 years if kept in a glass jar with airtight lid in a cool, dark place. Ground keeps for less than a year, if stored in the same conditions.
Medicinal Properties
Infection Fighter: For thousands of years, star anise has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to fight flu by clearing mucous from the respiratory tract. Today, science has confirmed this capability. In fact, shikimic acid, one of the compounds in the spice, is a key component of Tamiflu, the most commonly prescribed drug for treating flu.
Studies have shown that the spice is effective in viral, bacterial or fungal infections and inflammation, including septic shock, an often fatal, system-wide infection; herpes simplex 1, reducing cold sores; eliminating 99% of streptococcus mutans, the bacteria found in cavities.
Coughs: Star anise enjoys a considerable reputation as medicine in coughs and chest infections. A common ingredient in medicinal teas, cough medicines and lozenges, it's especially effective in hard, dry coughs and whooping coughs.
Anti-Cancer: Various compounds found in star anise kill cancer cells and, in lab research, reduce damage to brain cells.
Rheumatism and Arthritis: The spice helps reduce painful inflammation. The Chinese prescribe a star anise tea to bring relief.
Digestive Aid: In Chinese medicine the seeds are chewed before meals to spark appetite or after to relieve gas and bloating. The spice is also used to combat colic, which may be caused by gastrointestinal problems, such as gas brought on by overfeeding or intestinal spasm. The seed pod can be chewed as a breath freshener. To make a tea: put 1-1/2 cups of cold water and 6-8 stars in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, turn off heat and let sit for 10 minutes. For digestive problems, drink a cup several times a day, if possible after each meal.
Star anise provides that je ne sais quoi – that intangible quality that gives a distinctive flavor to certain Chinese dishes, like Peking duck and spare ribs. The traditional Chinese cook wraps star anise in a muslin sack and puts it in "master stock" to which new ingredients can be continually added over months or even years. A master stock recipe is generally kept as a family secret, passed on through generations. In Europe, where the spice was unknown until the 17th century, it's a popular flavoring for confections, jams, syrups and cordials.
This spice has a strong licorice flavor with a slight suggestion of cinnamon and clove. A little goes a long way! One whole star, or a pinch of ground, is enough to enhance a vegetable stir fry. Too much makes a dish bitter. In whole form the spice is not edible, so many cooks remove the star from the pot after cooking and place it on the platter or plate as garnish. The powder and seeds are edible and have an intriguing nuttiness.
A few ways to use star anise:
In soups, stews and casseroles requiring long cooking, especially with beef or chicken.
Place in pan when making roast chicken or duck.
Add to stewed apples or plums.
Add to the liquid when poaching chicken or fish.
Rub the ground spice into poultry or game before cooking.

The decision to take photos of the outfits I style for my daughter in an effort to remember my favorites was a natural one. My experience designing for children's fashion only intensifies my tendency to covet tiny pieces of clothing since my baby has been born. I find keeping an "outfit journal" makes it so much easier to let go when she eventually grows out of the items we (okay, maybe just I) love most. All of the images are photos I take in my home, and are of clothing that we own.

Much ado about bishops: time for a more humane dispensation?
There has been much ado about bishops of late. First, the Church of England's House of Laity rejected the consecration of women, to the consternation of a majority in their own communion and the incredulity of wider society. Then the Catholic Archbishop of Westminster soured the Nativity season - perhaps the tenderest of all our celebrations of the mysteries of faith - with negativity about same sex love and marriage.
Uganda archbishop highlights Anglican differences on sexuality
Archbishop Stanley Ntagali of Uganda has condemned the decision by Church of England bishops to allow celibate clergy in civil partnerships to be bishops, claiming this violated biblical faith and Anglican agreements.
The Church of England and gay bishops – has sexuality policy shifted?
Clergy in civil partnerships can become bishops provided they are celibate, the Church of England House of Bishops agreed. Though this falls far short of full equality, some have labelled it a major shift in church policy.
Leading Catholics line up to debate priestly celibacy
A major debate about the Catholic Church and enforced priestly celibacy will take place in Central London tonight, ahead of the Pope's visit to the UK.
Catholics want all priests to have the option to marry, not just converts
Following news that the Roman Catholic church may accept more married ex-Anglican priests into its ranks, the grassroots network FutureChurch has called for the option of a married priesthood in the Latin rite of the Catholic Church too.

We will see the application of price targets when we explain the different types. Expiry times can be as low as 5 minutes.
How does it work? First, the trader sets two price targets to form a price range.
If you are familiar with pivot points in forex, then you should be able to trade this type. This type is predicated on the price action touching a price barrier or not.
If itrade forex price action does not touch the price target the strike price before expiry, the trade will end up as a loss.
Here you are betting on the price action of the binary options trading using price action asset not touching the strike price before the expiration. Here the trader can set two price targets and purchase a contract that bets on the price touching both targets before expiration Double Touch or not touching both targets before expiration Double No Touch.
Normally you would only employ the Double Gw trading system trade binary options trading using price action there is intense market volatility and prices are expected to take out several price levels.
Some brokers offer all three types, while others offer two, and there are those that offer only one variety. Usiny addition, some brokers also put restrictions on how expiration dates are set.
In order to get the best optoons the different types, traders are advised to shop around for brokers who will give them maximum flexibility binary options trading using price action terms of types and expiration times that can be set. Most trading platforms have been designed with mobile device users gw trading system mind.
So the mobile version will be very similar, if not the same, as the full web version on the traditional websites.
Our reviews contain more detail about each brokers mobile app, but most are fully aware that this is a growing area of trading. Traders want to react immediately to news events and market updates, so brokers provide the tools for clients to trade wherever they are.
So, in short, they are a form of bijary return financial options. Call and Put are simply the terms given to buying or selling an option. As a financial investment tool they in themselves not a scam, but there are brokers, trading robots and signal providers that are untrustworthy and dishonest.
Our forum is a great place to raise awareness of any wrongdoing. Binary trading strategies are unique to each tfading.
Money management is essential to ensure risk management is applied to all trading.
Different styles will suit different traders and strategies will also evolve and change. Traders need to ask questions of their investing aims and risk appetite and then learn what works for them. Binary options can be used to gamble, but they can also be used binary options trading using price action make trades based on value and expected profits.
The situation is different in binary options trading. There is no leverage to contend with, and phenomena such as slippage and price re-quotes have no effect on binary option trade outcomes. This reduces the risk in binary option trading to the barest minimum.
The binary options market allows traders to trade financial instruments spread across the currency and commodity markets as well as binary options trading using price action and bonds. This flexibility is unparalleled, and gives traders with the knowledge of how to trade these markets, a one-stop shop to trade all these instruments. A binary trade outcome is based on gw trading system one parameter: The trader is essentially betting on whether a financial asset will end up in a particular direction.
In addition, the trader is at liberty to determine when the trade ends, by setting an expiry date. This gives a trade that initially started badly the opportunity to end well. This is not the case with other markets.
For example, control of losses can only be achieved using a stop loss. Otherwise, a trader has to endure a drawdown if a trade takes an adverse turn in order to give it room to turn profitable.
The simple point being made here is that in binary options, the trader has less to worry about than if he were to trade other markets. Traders have better control of trades in binaries.
For example, if a trader wants to buy a contract, he knows in advance, what he stands to gain and what atcion will lose if the trade is out-of-the-money. For example, forex rates hsbc india a trader sets a binary options trading using price action order in the forex market to trade a high-impact news event, there is no assurance that his trade will be filled at the entry price or that a losing trade will be closed out at the exit stop loss.
The payouts per trade are usually higher in binaries than with other forms of trading. This is achievable without jeopardising the account.
In other markets, such payouts can only occur if a trader disregards all rules of money management and exposes a large amount of trading capital to the market, hoping for options insurance brokers big payout which never occurs in most cases.
In order to trade the highly volatile forex or commodities markets, binary options trading using price action trader has to have a reasonable amount of money as trading capital.
For instance, tradinh gold, a commodity with an intra-day volatility of up to 10, pips in times of high volatility, requires trading capital in tens of thousands of dollars. The payouts for binary options trades are drastically reduced when the odds for that trade succeeding are very high.
Of course in such situations, the trades are more unpredictable. Experienced traders can get around this optlons sourcing for these tools elsewhere; inexperienced traders who are new to the market are not as fortunate.
This is changing for the better though, as operators mature and forex trading platforms download aware of the need for these tools to attract traders. Unlike in forex where traders can get accounts that allow them to trade mini- and micro-lots on small account lrice, many binary option brokers set a trading floor; minimum amounts ibnary a trader can trade in the market.

Large fire at Daphne Recycling Center facility
by: Blake Brown
DAPHNE, Ala. (WKRG) – The Daphne Recycling Center caught fire Friday around 1:55 p.m. an official tells News 5.
We're told crews are working to put out "flare ups" as of 3:15 p.m.
Public Works Director Jeremy Sasser says it was fully engulfed.
More Baldwin County Stories
by Chad Petri / Jan 18, 2020
DAPHNE, Ala. (WKRG) -- We are less than two months away from Alabama's presidential primary election. There are a lot of big seats up for grabs including an opening in Alabama's first congressional district.
Five candidates took the stage in Daphne and also did a little meet and greet with potential voters. Members of the Baldwin County Republican Party hosted a debate Saturday for the five candidates for Alabama's first congressional district. They talked about trade, taxes and marijuana among other issues. The talk was civil and nobody seemed to attack another candidate. Most candidates tried to talk about their conservative credentials to strike a chord with Republican voters. Whoever comes out the winner of the primary could likely take the seat.
by WKRG Staff / Jan 18, 2020
MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) -- A beloved Navy Veteran on the Gulf Coast has passed away. Hal Pierce, the man known as the "Sea Lord of Mobile" has died Friday after an illness.
Pierce served 31 years in the U.S. Navy during the Cold War. After his military career, he was a vigorous advocate for veterans. Friends describe him as a tireless worker. There was hardly a flag-raising ceremony or patriotic event where you couldn't find Pierce in attendance. In addition to his work for veterans, Pierce was also involved in preserving the Middle Bay Lighthouse.

New rules turn GOP race from sprint into marathon, early nominee unlikely

New rules turn GOP race from sprint into marathon: Unlike '08, early nominee unlikely
by Ralph Z. Hallow, The Washington Times
This time, Republicans may have to wait till spring — or later — to learn who in their party will challenge President Obama next fall.
In 2008, the GOP presidential nomination battle was effectively over by February, when the revived campaign of Sen. John McCain triumphed over the moneyed war machine of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
But a quick knockout may not be in the cards this time.
Many of the states that jumped to the front of the Republican primary calendar in January and February have had their delegate totals to the nominating convention docked by party officials.
In addition, the 2012 version of Super Tuesday falls on March 6, a month and a day later than its 2008 counterpart. New York and California, both of which held primaries on 2008's Super Tuesday, won't weigh in on this cycle until April 24 and June 5, respectively.
With a primary calendar and nominating process that makes it tougher to amass quickly the delegates needed to clinch the nomination, "this year's schedule will make our nominating process more of a marathon than 2008's sprint," said former Hawaii Republican Party Chairman Willes Lee.
Even apart from the structural issues created by the calendar, some Republican analysts also are predicting a long, drawn-out primary based on the specifics of the 2012 candidate field. The poll numbers have shown considerable fluidity, months before Iowa's first-in-the-nation contest on Jan. 3. There is not a clear, well-liked front-runner, and all of the major candidates have obvious shortcomings and are polling poorly in at least one early state.
"The diverse field, drawn-out process and big differences between the candidate leanings of voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina likely mean the nomination won't be resolved quickly this time around," said California GOP Chairman Tom Del Beccaro.
Craig Shirley, head of the Washington-based Shirley and Banister Public Affairs and author of biographies of Ronald Reagan, agreed. He called the 2012 nomination race "probably the most wide open since 1940, when Wendell Willkie came out nowhere to seize the chance to challenge the incumbent, Franklin Delano Roosevelt."
Mr. Shirley and GOP strategists cite the fact that virtually all the top-tier candidates — Mr. Romney, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, businessman Herman Cain and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich — have records that are at least somewhat problematic for conservatives, making it harder for the party base to coalesce quickly around an early consensus choice.
Hawaii's Mr. Lee noted that a long, drawn-out race has become more plausible because of actions by a number of state parties — including in Florida, Arizona and Michigan — to ignore Republican National Committee guidelines and move up their primary dates to early in 2012 in hopes of playing a kingmaker role earlier in the nomination fight.
But jumping the gun will cost them half their regular delegate numbers — and make it harder for a hot candidate to run up the delegate count and drive others from the field, as Mr. McCain did in 2008.
RNC rules also call for subsequent primary and caucus states after the first wave of states to divide their delegates among the candidates instead of adopting the winner-take-all format that Republicans historically have favored.
As a result, it is mathematically impossible for any candidate to accumulate the requisite 1,142 delegates for nomination before March 24, even if that candidate won every vote in every contest from Iowa onward. Unless one candidate emerges to score an early knockout, the earliest practical date anyone can reach the magic number is well into April and possibly later.

HFP: Hawaii Republican Presidential Vote Set for March 13


Probably the two greatest words in the English language. As a child, those two words always brought excitement in the soul, especially if they were spoken by my Grandmother.
Over the last few years, I worked a traveling job and continued to receive recommendations on places to dine. Before any vacation, I have always tried to seek out the recommendations of others who have gone there before. About a year and a half or two years ago, I began tracking two maps with google maps, (1) recommended restaurants that I have yet to try (Suggested Restaurants) and (2) the places I have enjoyed dining (Good Eats).
I have had several requests to share these two maps, so here they are. Feel free to send me your recommendations to add to the Suggested Restaurants map.
Rolled out of the sack at 8am, donned my UnderArmour, tshirt, jeans, fleece, chaps, jacket, fullface helmet, winter weight gloves and rolled out the Road King. The weather station said 32F and the wind was blowing but the sky was clear and the sun was shining. This is as good as it is gonna get for a while, so its time to put it in the wind, side stand up and turn onto GA 369.
369 is a pleasant two lane highway cutting across what used to be rural North Georgia before the urban sprawl brought the flood of big builders and subdivisions galore. Now it is a mixture of subdivisions, dilapidated chicken houses, an occasional cow pasture, and a good many PVC farms.
What is a PVC farm? When a developer begins a new subdivision, they perform a good deal of grading, creating streets, curbing, installing storm and household sewers, and putting in underground water lines. Before a single house begins construction, there is hundreds of green PVC pipes sticking up out of the ground about 3-4 feet high. The moniker "PVC farm" denotes this stage of development.
When the housing boom came crashing to an end two years ago, there were numerous subdivisions across Georgia SR 369 in this stage of development. They have been sitting in this state ever since.
I soon come upon a grey haired gentleman driving a 90's model Crown Vic behind a semi hauling feed. The older gentleman seems vexed by the slow moving semi. 369 is again, two-lane and there is not much opportunity for passing in these situations. Several times the older fella pops out across the center line to see if it is safe to pass and swerves back into his lane to avoid oncoming traffic. I put a few more car lengths between him and myself in case he has a head-on collision with this maneuver. He then drops the right side wheels off on the shoulder a couple of time sending a hail of small gravel showering behind him. I continue to give him lots of room to avoid being peppered with the debris.
Suddenly a gold minivan comes charging up the left lane as it is running out and stops accelerating as he is about up to my rear wheel. I look over twice and finally decide its my job to keep him from running into me when the lane ends. I roll into the throttle and put three or four car lengths between us. When I check the mirrors a quarter mile or so and the gold van is now 20-30 car lengths behind me. Weird! I continue to check on him in my mirrors. A couple of miles later, he turns into McDonalds. Maybe he was rushing for an Egg McMuffin?
A few miles later, I observe a truck sitting at a stop sign on the right side of the highway. As I approach, I continue to watch his front tire. I am thinking that he has been sitting there for quite a while, and he is gonna get itchy to pull out just about the time I meet him. Just as I was thinking, about two car lengths from reaching the intersection, he pulls out in front of me. I grab a significant amount of front brake, drop a few gears and successfully avoid a collision. As I begin to regain a bit of speed, the driver of the truck throws up his hand inside the truck and gives me a friendly wave as if to say "Thanks for not hitting the side of my truck with your motorcycle." I wonder what he would have said or done if I had not been expecting it and if we had collided.
SR 20 is an enjoyable motorcycle ride, as it heads West towards Canton there is a lot less urban sprawl and more acres of pine trees, rolling hills, and a few water crossings, and winding turns that are easy to maneuver. One has to stay alert because it is also prime deer crossing country.
Outside Cartersville, I pickup SR 41 and then SR 411 and head towards Rome. Yes, Rome was not built in a day. 411 is a four-lane state highway with a grass median divider. The country side is more rural with occasional used pickup and used Jeep dealers, older one story hotels, an occasional group of utility sheds for sale, and gas stations that seem to be from pages of yesteryear.
My route into Rome takes me past the Rome Braves' baseball stadium and then Berry College which seems quaint enough. Not too often one sees a college sitting right next to a pasture with cows grazing.
The purpose of my ride was to meet a few friends for a meeting at the Landmark Restaurant in Rome, GA. And, it was a pleasant find. A sparkling clean restaurant that reminds you of a diner from years gone by complete with a large glass case packed with pecan pies, cheesecakes, and lots of other scrumptious desserts. I had pancakes and eggs with copious amounts of coffee and was very pleased with the experience.
After tall tales and the general enjoyment of commiserating with friends, it was time to head home. The return trip was about 14 degrees warmer and reminded me why I enjoy riding motorcycles. I am thankful for sunny days even in the middle of winter.
After working on his Ninja this weekend, Bill Dwyer (Atlas Rider), longtime rider and ATGATT advocate from the Phoenix valley area, decided to take it on a test run around parking lot of his apartment complex.
And before you send my your sarcastic comments about why AGATT is for sissies, watch his video, look at his hands, face, and legs and consider that he has been riding motorcycles for four years and thousands of miles. No matter what your skill level and no matter how many years you have in the saddle, it can happen to anyone in a moments notice.

Indian company to build UAE factory to make wiring harnesses/other products
Motherson Sumi Systems (MSSL) reports that one of its subsidiaries, Motherson PKC Harness Systems, is building a new factory in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Per an online announcement by MarketLine, a ground-breaking ceremony at the Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) was held recently for the launch of the project. "We are very glad to have taken this important step of setting up our manufacturing facility in the fast-growing emirate of Ras Al Khaimah mark the beginning of factory construction and operations are expected to commence in the second quarter of 2020," said MSSL Chairman Vivek Chaand Sehgal. "This provides us great opportunities for larger exposure to the global markets."
The story said that the factory is being built on a 21,000-sq-m parcel. In addition to wire harnesses, the plant will also produce rear view mirrors and have injection molding capacity.
MSSL was established as a joint venture partnership with Japan's Sumitomo Wiring Systems. Its scope includes wiring harnesses, high tension cords, battery cables and high level assemblies. In 2017, it acquired Finland's PKC Group Plc, a global tier 1 supplier of wiring harness and associated components to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the heavy and medium duty commercial vehicles and locomotive segments across North America, Europe, Brazil and China.
RAKEZ, one of the 45 free economic zones in the Gulf nation, has 14,500 companies from 100 countries operating in 50 industries.

By themselves, these vegan chocolate avocado cupcakes are a perfect representation of a delicious, moist cupcake with the perfect crumb. But with the avocado buttercream?
Game changer. This combination is absolutely lethal. The avocado taste in the buttercream is subtle, yet present, and has such a fantastic natural coloring. I would seriously take this avocado buttercream over the traditional buttercream any day. Any day. It is that good.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set that aside too.
In a large bowl beat together the sugar, applesauce, mashed avocado, water, vinegar, and vanilla until well blended.
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet with all at once and and beat with a whisk (by hand) until smooth.
Pour batter into cupcake tins and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting with avocado buttercream.
Peel and pit the soft avocados, scraping the contents into a medium bowl. If the avocados have brown spots, avoid those spots when you scoop the meat into the bowl. You want nice and green avocado meat.
Add lemon juice and beat the avocados with a mixer on medium speed until the avocados are slightly lightened in color and smooth in texture, about 2-3 minutes. The lemon juice prevents the avocados from turning brown so you will have nice green frosting.
Add the powdered sugar a little at a time and beat. Add vanilla extract until combined. Store the frosting in the refrigerator until ready to use.

NBC12 Reporter Sarah Bloom, accompanied by representatives from sponsor organization Henrico Federal Credit Union, came to Goochland High School last week to surprise Mrs. Melissa Black, GHS athletic trainer and dance instructor, as the winner of the NBC12 Excellence in Education Award for November. Mrs. Black was nominated by a member of the Goochland community and selected by the Excellence in Education selection group from NBC12 and HFCU.
Mrs. Black was surprised and overwhelmed to be recognized. Mr. Christopher Collier, Goochland High principal, arranged for the surprise with a meeting scheduled under false pretenses. "Mrs. Black is one of our most positive, dedicated, and versatile staff members. She is recognized in every area of our program-athletics, arts, and the classroom. I am not surprised at all that she is being recognized".
The nomination received by NBC12 described Mrs. Black as inspirational: "she has inspired many to continue their education in dance, sports medicine, athletic training, and even other medical fields by always being there for her students".
The NBC12 segment is scheduled to air Tuesday, November 7, at 4:00 p.m.

Alternative payments are causing a major disruption in retail as customers look for faster and convenient ways of paying for products, and a majority of stores are now diversifying their payment methods to eliminate the risk of being faced out. However, even as the number of retailers adopting alternative payment methods increases, most are still losing customers at the critical check out stage.
Consumer behavior has rapidly evolved, and the purchasing experience is now as important to customers as the products you are selling. The modern consumer is looking for excellent customer experience and convenience, and if they fail to get it from you at any stage of the purchase process, then you risk losing them forever. However, most retailers still don't understand how much impact these two aspects have on their businesses.
In a recent market survey, 95% of consumers confirmed that good user experience is of essence when it comes to making purchases. Excellent user experience does not translate to a fancy website. It also takes into consideration how easy it is for customers to make payments to your store, even when they are in-store. It is therefore vital that you evaluate your checkout point to ensure that it delivers a seamless experience to consumers.
Mobile wallets and mobile payments are increasingly becoming popular with consumers due to convenience, and customers expect you to replicate the same level of service at your POS terminal. They want to be able to make their payments fast and spend as little time as possible at checkout. Delivering this experience may seem a difficult task for retailers, but emerging technologies that enable contactless payments are making it easier than ever.
One such technology is Netclearance's smart payment beacon technology which gives consumers a lot of payment freedom because they can pay for purchases without having to interact with sales associates in a store. Beacons cover a wireless range from few inches to up tens of feet, which gives them a competitive advantage over any other proximity payment method. With this technology, users can connect to your POS terminal from any location in your store hence they don't have to wait in long queues to make payments. All the customers needs is a BLE enabled device -- which now comes with most smartphones (98% of smartphones compared to less than 20% with NFC) -- and your POS beacon.
To learn more about beacon technology and how our mBeaconPay and mBeaconSAM solutions can help you deliver seamless experience at your POS terminal, visit our website today.

Q: How to convert timespan to pm or am time? I'm storing user time in UTC time and when I show it I need to convert it to am pm time.
Here is example in database I have 17:00:00 convert to 5:00 pm
Here is the code what I came up so far but it's not working
var time = DateTime.ParseExact(object.Time.ToString(), "HHmm", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture).ToString("hh:mm tt");

A: TimeSpan is a duration "17 hours", not a time. Maybe add this to a date (only) and use the existing datetime formatting options? (although watch for daylight savings)
i.e.
string s = DateTime.Today.Add(duration).ToString(specifier);

A: Don't forget to specify appropriate culture, e.g.: CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.
var time = DateTime.Now.ToString("h:mm tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

See also: Custom Date and Time Format Strings

A: I just needed to display static html with my TimeSpan. So in my view I used,
DateTime.Today.Add(StartTime).ToString("%h:mm tt")

"StartTime" is my TimeSpan, it converts it to a DateTime and then displays it. My time now displays as "3:00 PM" instead of "15:00". The "%h" eliminates a leading zero for time that is between 1-9.

A: Based on your comment, first convert the TimeSpan to a DateTime:
var dtUtc = DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime();
dtUtc.AddHours(timeSpanObject.Hours);
dtUtc.AddMinutes(timeSpanObject.Minutes);

Once it's a DateTime, you can convert it from UTC to localtime:
var dtLocal = dtUtc.ToLocalTime();

Only when you display it would you include AM/PM, like:
dtLocal.ToString("h:mm tt");

A: var time = DateTime.ParseExact("17:00", "HH:mm", null).ToString("hh:mm tt");

returns 05:00 PM
DateTime.ParseExact is returning DateTime
Edited:
Include CultureInfo
var time = DateTime.ParseExact("17:00", "HH:mm", null).ToString("hh:mm tt", CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US"));

/**
 * A data representation of a Hermite Curve (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_Hermite_spline)
 *
 * A Hermite curve has a start and end point and tangent vectors for both of them.
 * The curve will always pass through the two control points and the shape of it is controlled
 * by the length and direction of the tangent vectors.  At the control points the curve will
 * be facing exactly in the vector direction.
 *
 * As these curves change speed (speed = distance between points separated by an equal change in
 * 't' value - see Hermite.getPoint) this class attempts to reduce the variation by pre-calculating
 * the `accuracy` number of points on the curve. The straight-line distances to these points are stored
 * in the private 'points' array, and this information is used by Hermite.findT() to convert a pixel
 * distance along the curve into a 'time' value.
 *
 * Higher `accuracy` values will result in more even movement, but require more memory for the points
 * list. 5 works, but 10 seems to be an ideal value for the length of curves found in most games on
 * a desktop screen. If you use very long curves (more than 400 pixels) you may need to increase
 * this value further.

More typically than not people who don't have any background on what private investigator and private detectives do always ask of them astronomical results, this indicates clients ask too much of the private detective agency in terms of results and deadlines. The reason for asking such impossible outcomes could be due to the client basing his or her concept of a private investigator or a private detective in accordance with what they see within the movies. In the movies a private investigator is portrayed as an individualistic individual, operating alone on situations, not afraid of something and confronting criminals straight-up with no hesitations. To be able to give you an understanding of a private investigator or perhaps a private detective it's important to know the truth inside the life of private investigators or private detectives.
Initial truth is that in contrast to those becoming portrayed within the movies a private investigator or private detective does not function alone, we need to realize that a person has his or her limitations and that he or she may not know every single aspect inside the field of investigation. This is the reason why private investigators works hand-in-hand with other folks that have their particular field of specialisation including the field of law, medicine and forensics. Further, within the field, private detectives and private investigators does not work alone, this is specially true when private detectives conduct surveillance, for the easy explanation that one individual cannot be in two locations at the very same time.
Second truth about private investigators and private detectives is that investigations would last for several days, months and worst-case years. In contrast to what exactly is portrayed within the movies or Television shows investigations can conclude as effortlessly and rapidly as one day, the investigations might last for numerous days because of numerous factors such as careful surveillance along with the time consumed ahead of obtaining the actual result in the different lab tests done.
These two reasons amongst other reasons are essentially the most frequent trigger why private investigators have to be given realistic and not impossible expectations or output.

Australian government moves to deport Tamil refugees despite mass opposition
By Oscar Grenfell
The federal Coalition government has pressed ahead with its plans to deport a Tamil refugee family to Sri Lanka, where they face state persecution, despite an outpouring of mass opposition from workers, students and young people around the country.
Last Thursday night, the family was taken from the Melbourne detention centre where they have been incarcerated for 18 months and put on a flight to Sri Lanka. The deportation was only halted by a last-minute federal court injunction.
A further injunction, secured on Friday, prevented the youngest of the family's two children from being dispatched to Sri Lanka prior to 4:00 p.m. on September 4. The family's fate is set to be decided at court hearings today and on Wednesday.
In a deliberately punitive move, immigration authorities transported the family from Darwin, where the flight bound for Sri Lanka had landed, to the offshore Christmas Island detention centre in the Indian Ocean, north of the Australian mainland. The facility was re-opened by the Coalition government earlier this year although there are no other refugees detained there.
The family thanking supporters (Credit: @HometoBilo)
Angela Fredericks, a long-time advocate for the family, told the WSWS yesterday that the family had arrived at Christmas Island at 1:00 a.m. on Saturday morning. She reported that the husband and wife, Nadesalingam and Priya, and their daughters, Kopika, aged four, and Tharunicaa, who is only two, were "traumatised" by their treatment.
Fredericks, who was present when the family was snatched on Thursday night, stated: "I spoke to Priya as she was sitting in a van having been separated from her husband and children. She was terrified. Priya has previously been diagnosed with complex post-traumatic stress disorder and I witnessed that being activated on Thursday evening as she fought to not be put on the plane.
"Instead of being treated appropriately, she was manhandled and sustained significant bruising. Her children witnessed this. During the flight, Tharunicaa was crying and wanting her mum, and the guards would not let them be together. The whole family was traumatised from the experience, and then 24 hours later they were put on another plane and sent to Christmas Island. Absolutely barbaric. "
Fredericks stated that when they arrived at Christmas Island, the family was placed in a "dusty room" that triggered the children to have allergic reactions. She explained: "Priya said the rooms are so small and the children don't have space to move around. There is inadequate food for the children and the food they have been given has not been properly cooked. On their first day they were given an expired loaf of bread. They have also had problems with mosquitoes and flies."
The conditions are part of a brutal government policy abrogating the family's right to claim asylum.
Speaking on Channel Nine's "Today Show" this morning, Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton declared that the government "won't take a moral lecture" on the plight of the family. He again stated that their case was "without merit in terms of their claim to be refugees" and that they "have to return back to their country of origin."
Prime Minister Scott Morrison similarly declared that he could not "in good conscience" allow the family to remain in Australia, as this would undermine "strong borders." In a cynical attempt to whip up anti-refugee xenophobia the Department of Home Affairs claimed today that six boats carrying Sri Lankan asylum-seekers had attempted to travel to Australia since May, but that they had been intercepted by immigration authorities.
The government claims that it is safe for the family to return to Sri Lanka are a lie. As international rights organisations have documented, Tamil workers and youth continue to face state harassment, imprisonment and "disappearance" at the hands of the military and police apparatus that waged a brutal communal civil war for over three decades.
Dutton revealed that the family had been moved to Christmas Island so that Border Force agents could deport them to Sri Lanka without being put in a "difficult position" by protesters. He branded supporters of the family as "liars."
Dutton's statements are a warning that the attack on the Tamil family is part of a broader crackdown on democratic rights, directed against political opposition and the working class. He made the comments after sizeable demonstrations across the country demanded that the family be recognised as refugees. The protests followed an outpouring of support on Friday, with hashtags defending the family on Twitter among four of the five most popular throughout the morning.
Part of the Melbourne protest
On Sunday, over a 1,000 people rallied in Melbourne, while hundreds more joined demonstrations in Sydney and capital cities and towns across the country.
In Melbourne, Megha, a student, said she had attended because "I'd seen about the situation of this family in the media particularly since they were sent to the Broadmeadows facility. It made me so angry seeing the two children having to go through that. I feel like the political parties are all complicit in this. Both of the major parties have policies that actively support the funding of deportations.
Megha (right) with her mother
"I think the reason this is happening is that it's a type of scapegoating. We are seeing it more and more. There is economic instability and less jobs, so governments seem to hold no sympathy for boat people at all."
Emma, a student teacher, stated: "It's a systemic problem what's going on with refugees. It's back to colonialism, and fear of others. They say we have to 'Keep Australian jobs.' This ideology has really been around a long time, it's called White Australia."
In a bid to divert the emerging movement behind the political establishment, the pseudo-left Solidarity group, which organised the protests through a number of front groups, provided Labor and the Greens with a policy to fraudulently posture as defenders of refugees.
In Sydney, the keynote speaker was Kristina Keneally, a senior federal Labor parliamentarian. She appealed for Morrison to "open your heart, understand what the gospel tells us as Christians to do." Labor leader Anthony Albanese has made similar cynical calls for "compassionate" treatment of the family.
In reality, it was the federal Labor government of Julia Gillard that in 2012 decreed that all Sri Lankan asylum-seekers who arrived by boat would be repatriated. Hundreds of Tamil refugees were handed over to the Sri Lankan military-backed regime, as it carried out mass arrests and killings of Tamil civilians and political opponents.
Morrison's policies are a continuation of attacks initiated by Labor, which for the past two decades has spearheaded the assault on asylum-seekers. For their part, the Greens were in a de facto coalition with the minority Gillard government as it carried out the deportations.

Bikini Pirates (Review)
Bikini Pirates
aka Harlots of the Caribbean
Written by Fred Olen Ray
Directed by Fred Olen Ray (as Nicholas Medina)
You would think that one day we'll get to the end of the Retromedia Bikini films, but you are wrong. They are being made faster than I've been getting copies of the films, so they'll continue to appear on TarsTarkas.NET forever! Luckily, they are pretty entertaining, hence why they continue to appear and I haven't given up and started reviewing The Dead End Kids films. (Okay, the Dead End Kids films are pretty good, too… Some of them.)
Bikini Pirates features a small cast, and thanks to moving the action to the remote woods, the small cast feels natural and not like they're avoiding plot points on purpose to hide from hiring a bunch of extras. So a good call there, though it does keep people like Ted Newsom from popping up, which is sad. The opening credits play over stock footage of diving scenes set to a Pirates of the Caribbean-ish theme song. As most of these Retromedia Bikini tales open with credits over cgi effects or stills that have been run through Photoshop filters, this is a colorful and interesting diversion.
To keep from listing the prior Bikini films over and over again in the roll call below, we've switched to linking to the actor's tag so you can just click that and see everything they've been in that we've covered so far:
Dustin (Voodoo as Alexandre Boisvert) – A wreck diver who tracks down sunken galleons in search of treasure. He finds more than he bargained for when he discovers the diary of Morganna the Pirate Queen in the ruins of his latest salvage.
Jill (Nicole Sheridan) – Dustin's girlfriend, who becomes possessed with the ghost of Morganna the Pirate Queen thanks to a magical necklace. She's the center that the quest for the buried treasure revolves around.
Joe (Randy Spears) – Dustin's friend and partner in the wreck diving business, who enjoys diving wrecks almost as much as vacations in the woods and having threeways with his friend's girlfriend.
Susan (Beverly Lynne) – Joe's girlfriend who is along for the treasure hunting ride. A bigger believer in seances than Joe or Dustin.
Morganna the Pirate Queen (Rebecca Love) – The terror of the seven seas and the lover of the seven seas, Morganna the Pirate Queen ruled the waves and made waves in the bedroom. And now she's back in ghost form!
Captain Tygus (Evan Stone) – Morganna's loyal captain who has returned with her to help find the missing treasure and help their souls rest once and for all. So they'll be free to get it on in the afterlife!
Dusting and Joe are diving into wrecks in the ocean thanks to the magic of stock footage, while talking to Jill via radio. Just ignore the fact that they're using diving equipment that you can't really talk on the radio while using. We will not be over-thinking Bikini Pirates too much.
Time to head home, as it's Sex-in-the-shower o'clock! Dustin and Jill have sex in the shower to celebrate this historic time.
When they're all clean, Dustin gives Jill a necklace made with a gold coin he found in one of the pirate wrecks. Neither notices the necklace give off a flash when it is put on.
Dustin, Jill, Susan, and Joe agree to go to Dustin's cabin in the mountains after they're done with the wreck so they can have a dive-free vacation. Joe and Susan celebrate by doing the type of packing that doesn't help get things ready to go on vacation…
Dustin's cabin is an often used exterior in Retromedia flicks, probably best referred to as Jack's place from Tarzeena.
They prepare for a barbeque, and Dustin shows Jill another thing he found on the wreck – the diary of Morganna the Pirate! And the cover looks like the Necronomicon from army of Darkness! The diary also has a very detailed map to Morganna's treasure, featuring locations such as Cape Fear, Mosquito Swamp, and Morganna Lagoon. The landscape looks just like the land the cabin is on, coincidentally enough! Coincidentally on purpose.
Jill begins to read the diary, and we flashback to Morganna and her female captive/lover (Cassie Young) who stole her pearls. The captive gets the lashing. The tongue lashing! Jill enjoys herself while reading this saucy tale.
Jill later reads a passage about contacting the spirit of Morganna and Tygus the pirate captain. So she wants to hold a seance. Not sure how Morganna wrote about contacting her spirit after she died, unless she was so dedicated to her diary that she wrote entries while a ghost! Takes a new meaning to the term "ghost writer"…
It's seance time! "This is stupid" says Joe, and I agree. Joe and Dustin break into mocking mode as the women totally get into it and attempt to contact Morganna. Lo and behold, it works, and Jill is possessed by Morganna! She threatens to haunt them if they go after the treasure! When Jill wakes up, no one tells her she was possessed and she remembers nothing.
That night, Jill reads more of the journal and Morganna's sexcapades, while Dustin drifts off to sleep. Morganna repossesses her, and finding Dustin in slumber, goes into Joe and Susan's room to have sex with them instead! Joe and Susan know what is going on, but go with it anyway.
Dustin awakens when they're done and sees them sleeping. He's mad, but says nothing.
Morganna and Captain Tygus teleport back into the world of the living in the middle of the forest. Two Captain Jacks off the port bow! They're going to follow the group so they can claim their treasure.
The quad squad go in search for the buried treasure at some park in the LA-area—I mean, in the woods by the cabin, as the music that is totally not the Pirates Of the Caribbean theme plays. So we get a lot of shots of them wandering around. Eventually, they start bickering and fight over the threesome from the night before, but everyone agrees to let it slide because Jill was possessed.
The gang gives up for the day and heads back tot he cabin, where Jill is quickly kidnapped by Captain Tygus. He takes her back to Morganna, who "interrogates" Jill in a lesbian sex way. Tygus tells the rest of the group about Jill's capture, and that they will trade her back for the map in 1 hour.
They make the trade…and Tygus gets the treasure box, which was buried right where the trade took place! He doesn't dig it up, he uses magic to zap it to the surface. Convenient! The treasure…is a teddy bear! Holy Bobo, Batman!
The group then buries the necklace Dustin gave Jill, as it has the souls of the dead it in. That's actually respectful, and it works, because the ghosts leave. But not without giving Jill a parting payment…a bag of gold pieces!
Back in the afterlife, the ghost pirates have sex…ghost pirate celebration style!!!
And now you know the true story of Bikini Pirates! Be sure to tell your friends and neighbors!
Rated 9/10 (magic coin, Captain Jack's, shock, boredom, magic bridge, confusion, oh really?, the treasure, Hmmmmm…..)

Fungal diseases can be a real problem for gardeners, especially when weather is warmer and wetter than usual. Copper fungicides are often the first line of defense, especially for gardeners who prefer to avoid chemical fungicides. Using copper fungicides is confusing, but knowing exactly when to use copper fungicide is the key to success. However, fungal diseases are difficult to control and results aren't guaranteed. Let's explore these issues.
That said, its effectiveness is limited against late blight of potatoes and tomatoes. Because copper is toxic, it can also cause serious damage by killing plant tissues. If you are considering using copper fungicide, be sure to read the label carefully. There are many formulations of copper products on the market, differing widely in the amount of copper, active ingredients, rate of application and other factors.
It's also important to note that copper doesn't break down in the soil and can become a soil contaminant in time. Use copper fungicides sparingly and only as needed.
Don't expect copper fungicide to cure an existing fungal disease. The product works by protecting plants against development of new infections. Ideally, apply copper fungicide before fungus is visible. Otherwise, apply the product immediately when you first notice signs of fungal disease.
If the fungus is on fruit trees or vegetable plants, you can safely continue to spray every seven to 10 days until harvest. If possible, spray plants when you'll have at least 12 hours of dry weather following application.
Typically, fungicides are applied at a rate of 1 to 3 teaspoons per gallon of water. However, it's critical to read the label directions carefully to determine rate of application for each specific product. Reapply the product every seven to 10 days because fungicides degrade after application.
Fungicides are generally not harmful to bees. However, it's best not to spray when bees are actively foraging on plants. Never apply copper fungicide on very hot days.
Never mix copper fungicides with other chemicals. Never over-apply fungicides.
Note: Contact your local cooperative extension office to learn specific information on copper fungicide uses in your particular situation. For example, some diseases are best treated in fall.

Biotherapy Services raises funding from Foresight Group
Biotherapy Services raises funding from Foresight GroupMelissa Dainelli2019-11-12T12:37:52+00:00
HMT LLP advised specialist pharmaceutical biotech company Biotherapy Services Ltd ("BTS") on their Series A fundraising. Foresight VCT ("Foresight") invested £3 million to support the growth of the business supplemented by further investment from existing and new private investors.
BTS is a clinical stage, Biopharmaceutical company developing and delivering novel autologous regenerative therapies, currently in clinical development for complex and chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers and pressure sores.
The company has developed proprietary expertise and a unique clinically integrated GMP operational service model to provide their proprietary RAPID™ Biodynamic Haematogel supporting clinicians with an interest in wound care to have additional treatment options.
Foresight invested £3 million in BTS to support the business and accelerate growth.
HMT, led by James Thomas acted as lead advisors to BTS on the transaction which included assessing the strategic options for the shareholders and management, identifying suitable investment partners, negotiating detailed investment terms and project managing the deal to a successful completion.
Janet Hadfield, CEO of BTS commented:
"Regenerative biological therapies are at the vanguard of innovative clinical applications and we are delighted to have the Foresight Group as our strategic partners to assist us in the development of our product that we are hopeful may provide a new treatment option for patients, physicians and other healthcare professionals.
The experience and expertise of the HMT team led by James were essential elements to the conclusion of the investment into BTS from the Foresight Group.
BTS' novel, innovative and ground-breaking proprietary technology required a deep understanding of the regenerative biological market and HMT not only were able to articulate a complex scientific proposition but were able to find the appropriate investor partner for the company.
The guidance that James provided was exemplary and his unflappable demeanour, attention to detail and strategic insights when dealing with complex situations, helped BTS successfully navigate and conclude its first major institutional fundraise.
We would thoroughly recommend HMT and James as a great choice for fundraising."
Nick Mettyear, Investment Manager at Foresight commented:
"Diabetes is a large and growing problem that causes patient suffering and puts immense pressure on healthcare services both domestically and internationally. Foresight is excited to be working with Biotherapy Services and to support them through the next phase of the trials and regulatory authorisation processes to bring the RAPIDTM Haematogel product to market. James and HMT provided key support in getting this complex deal over the line."
James Thomas commented:
"We are delighted to have advised Janet and the shareholders on this fundraise. BTS has developed the world's first blood medicinal product and are pioneering tissue regeneration in complex and chronic wounds which offers a new treatment pathway for the complications arising from diabetes, the treatment of which costs the NHS more than 10% of its budget each year."

Q: How to get gsl_matrix pointer from from RcppGSL::Matrix I am trying to write a R package that is a wrapper for a C++ library that uses RcppGSL. I have successfully installed gsl and the package check stops at the Rcpp function compilation:
#include <Rcpp.h>
#include <RcppGSL.h>
#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
#include <config.h>
#endif

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "graphm-0.52/graph.h"

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <gsl/gsl_matrix.h>
#include <gsl/gsl_permutation.h>

using namespace std;
using namespace Rcpp;

// declare a dependency on the RcppGSL package; also activates plugin
// (but not needed when 'LinkingTo: RcppGSL' is used with a package)
//
// [[Rcpp::depends(RcppGSL)]]

//
//
// [[Rcpp::export]]
Rcpp::List run_graph_match(const RcppGSL::Matrix & A, const RcppGSL::Matrix & B, const Rcpp::List &algorithm_params ){
  graph graphm_obj_A;
  graphm_obj_A.set_adjmatrix (((*A)));
  graph graphm_obj_B;
  graphm_obj_B.set_adjmatrix (((*B)));

The function graph::set_adjmatrix (const gsl_matrix* A) takes in a const gsl_matrix pointer.
My question is what would be the right level of referencing I need from going from const RcppGSL::Matrix reference to const gsl_matrix pointer. I would think just one, but I get the following error
graphmatch_rcpp.cpp:31:34: error: no matching function for call to 'graph::set_adjmatrix(RcppGSL::matrix<double>::gsltype&)'
   graphm_obj_A.set_adjmatrix((*A)));
                                  ^
graphmatch_rcpp.cpp:31:34: note: candidate is:
In file included from graphmatch_rcpp.cpp:9:0:
graphm-0.52/graph.h:52:9: note: int graph::set_adjmatrix(const gsl_matrix*)

         ^

   graphm_obj_B.set_adjmatrix((*B)));

which suggests I should reference it once more and cast to const pointer. There is some implicit conversion from RcppGSL::matrix to gsl_matrix, so I am not sure I understand the details. Can anyone more familiar with RcppGSL, Rcpp give an answer as to how I could pass RcppGSL::matrix & to 'const gsl_matrix*' ?

A: RcppGSL::Matrix is a proxy for a GSL Matrix; it is not the same as a GSL Matrix.  If the "graphm" you are using expects one I would instantiate one first.
In fastLm.cpp we do this, and it passes a RcppGSL::Matrix on 'down' to the GSL:
// [[Rcpp::export]]
Rcpp::List fastLm(const RcppGSL::Matrix &X, const RcppGSL::Vector &y) {

    int n = X.nrow(), k = X.ncol();
    double chisq;

    RcppGSL::Vector coef(k);                // to hold the coefficient vector
    RcppGSL::Matrix cov(k,k);               // and the covariance matrix

    // the actual fit requires working memory we allocate and free
    gsl_multifit_linear_workspace *work = gsl_multifit_linear_alloc (n, k);
    gsl_multifit_linear (X, y, coef, cov, &chisq, work);
    gsl_multifit_linear_free (work);

    // assign diagonal to a vector, then take square roots to get std.error
    Rcpp::NumericVector std_err;
    std_err = gsl_matrix_diagonal(cov);     // need two step decl. and assignment
    std_err = Rcpp::sqrt(std_err);          // sqrt() is an Rcpp sugar function

    return Rcpp::List::create(Rcpp::Named("coefficients") = coef,
                              Rcpp::Named("stderr")       = std_err,
                              Rcpp::Named("df.residual")  = n - k);
