Ground officially broken at UE's German American Bank Field
By Bethany Miller | November 7, 2019 at 6:42 PM CST - Updated November 7 at 7:01 PM
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - If you drive down the Lloyd Expressway you may do a double-take. Charles H. Braun Stadium is almost unrecognizable on the University of Evansville campus as the renovations are well underway to transform the baseball diamond into German American Bank Field.
The project, first announced in July, has officially commenced to install a state-of-the-art astroturf field, padded walls throughout the stadium, an update to the dugout and bullpens and a new LED Scoreboard.
On Thursday, officials from both German American bank and UE were on hand to take part in the offical stadium groundbreaking.
"It's great to see the dirt being moved, kinda seeing it come to light has been a lot of work in the making and for it to finally happen, everybody realizes it's coming," said UE head baseball coach Wes Carroll.
"It's so transformational for our department, it's something that we've been working towards for so long," said UE Athletic Director Mark Spencer. "This really is just exciting to see that movement, it's like Christmas come early for us."
Spencer told 14 Sports the stadium renovations are set to be completed within 45-60 days depending on the weather.

How to improve your Telesales process and make sure sales goals are met and costs are reduced? Telesales calls are an important part in the sales process of FMCG or food manufacturing groups. When handling orders for these large companies who revolve around fast and precise logistics, many aspects of call management must be taken into account.
How can you ensure your order taking department is not only registering sales orders, but also supports commercials and promotional actions that are vital for the success of your company? And how can you do this without compromising speed of order taking?
Many FMCG and food manufacturing companies face similar challenges, as their point-of-sales call in to place their orders in the morning and expect delivery the following day. As such, orders need to be in the system by noon to guarantee that logistical processes can be executed in a timely matter.
The solution is simple: these companies need a telesales solution that is specifically designed for their industry, and which is tightly integrated with their ERP environment.
So how does such a solution look like? It has to meet the expectations in 5 main areas.


Every time I've been there the employees have always been very friendly and professional my food has always been good and hot and I would recommend them to anybody.
Service at Arby's is not the fastest, especially at their window. But there food is good, the servers are courteous and friendly. The prices are reasonable, so I can't really complain too much.
Remind me if u have an Unhappy Customer as the MGR is it not at UR own descretion how u fix the problem? Well i went to this mcdonalds as i do continuously ordered a milkshake and bc i Dont drive, didn't notice until i was home,and was in a hurry , my milkshake was strawberry instead of vanilla and i called and told the MGR, he said he couldn't do anything (No Authority) which he could've and when i told him he was gonna loose a CUSTOMER OVER A. $2 milkshake he said " I AM SORRY ABOUT THAT" which he could've given me the milkshake but no he would rather loose someone who spends hundreds of dollars a mth over something so small . When i know under these circumstances things like that its at the MGR'S Descretion... I think what he did is wrong and now i will be going to BURGER KING!!!!
I have never been dissatisfied with Chick-Fil-A service. But this young man name Josh at the cashier area have left me astonished! I understand the season is getting busy and more employees are needed, but this young man shows the lack of qualification for his job. And rudely did not take my order until he was directed to. I think they should think twice about hiring such a young man in their fine establishment and long lived good service.

Q: Angular Material Datepicker - Month & Year ONLY I want my angular material datepicker to only show month/year. NO days.
Here is my datepicker:
<mat-form-field>
    <input matInput [matDatepicker]="picker" placeholder="Choose a date">
    <mat-datepicker-toggle matSuffix [for]="picker"></mat-datepicker-toggle>
    <mat-datepicker #picker></mat-datepicker>
</mat-form-field>

I saw previous threads stating setting the mode to:
md-mode="month"

The above does not work anymore. What is the solution now?

A: The requirement is to show "MMMM YYYY" format on the input element.
"MMMM YYYY" format is "Month Year".
Want to create custom date format and apply to the mat-datepicker.
in the HTML
<mat-label>For the Month</mat-label>
<input matInput [matDatepicker]="picker1" name="CalMonth" formControlName="CalMonth">
<mat-datepicker-toggle matSuffix [for]="picker1"></mat-datepicker-toggle>
<mat-datepicker #picker1 disabled="false"></mat-datepicker>

in the .ts typescript
want to import material-moment-adapter ,material/core and
moment
To install the material-moment-adapter

npm i @angular/material-moment-adapter

npm i angular-moment

import {MomentDateAdapter, MAT_MOMENT_DATE_ADAPTER_OPTIONS} from '@angular/material-moment-adapter';
import {DateAdapter, MAT_DATE_FORMATS, MAT_DATE_LOCALE} from '@angular/material/core';
import * as moment from 'moment';

export const MY_FORMATS = {
  parse: {
    dateInput: 'LL',
  },
  display: {
    dateInput: 'MMMM YYYY', // this is the format showing on the input element
    monthYearLabel: 'MMMM YYYY', // this is showing on the calendar
  },
};

after that add to the component
@Component({
  selector: 'app-monthselector',
  templateUrl: './monthselector.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./monthselector.component.scss'],
  providers: [
    {
      provide: DateAdapter,
      useClass: MomentDateAdapter,
      deps: [MAT_DATE_LOCALE, MAT_MOMENT_DATE_ADAPTER_OPTIONS]
    },

    {provide: MAT_DATE_FORMATS, useValue: MY_FORMATS},
  ],
})

after that add the format to the relevant controller
this.UIForm = new FormGroup({
      CalMonth: new FormControl(moment()),
    });

follow above steps one by one and you can customize the date format to "Month Year" .
you can change anyother date format as well, only change this

dateInput: 'MMMM YYYY',

Thanks,
Indika Pradeep

A: I have worked out a solution, fully relying on the example given in the official Angular Material documentation :
https://material.angular.io/components/datepicker/overview#watching-the-views-for-changes-on-selected-years-and-months
The example with code works fine but there is still a navigation to 'month' view in the calendar when user clicks on years in the header

Here is a turnaround : in the TS of the custom component where the
<mat-datepicker #dp startView="multi-year" (yearSelected)="chosenYearHandler($event)" (monthSelected)="chosenMonthHandler($event, datePicker)"></mat-datepicker>
is declared as in the Angular Material link, I add :
@ViewChild('datePicker') public dp;

ngAfterViewInit(): void {
  this.dp.openedStream.subscribe(async _ => {
    while (this.dp._popupComponentRef.instance._calendar == null)
      await this.__delay__(100)

    this.dp._popupComponentRef.instance._calendar._calendarHeaderPortal._attachedHost._attachedRef.instance.currentPeriodClicked = function () {

        // redefine here calendar navigation in header

        if (this.calendar.currentView == 'month')
            this.calendar.currentView = 'year'

        this.calendar.currentView = this.calendar.currentView == 'year' ? 'multi-year' : 'year';
    }
  })
}

That way you can customize the navigation from the header...

A: This is surprisingly not straightforward.. I have found the "official" way here
https://stackblitz.com/angular/ekjvrbglvnb?file=src%2Fapp%2Fdatepicker-views-selection-example.ts

A: You can use these two handlers (chosenYearHandler & chosenMonthHandler) , and the formatting to show only month and year :
TS :
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {FormControl} from '@angular/forms';
import {MomentDateAdapter, MAT_MOMENT_DATE_ADAPTER_OPTIONS} from '@angular/material-moment-adapter';
import {DateAdapter, MAT_DATE_FORMATS, MAT_DATE_LOCALE} from '@angular/material/core';
import {MatDatepicker} from '@angular/material/datepicker';

// Depending on whether rollup is used, moment needs to be imported differently.
// Since Moment.js doesn't have a default export, we normally need to import using the `* as`
// syntax. However, rollup creates a synthetic default module and we thus need to import it using
// the `default as` syntax.
import * as _moment from 'moment';
// tslint:disable-next-line:no-duplicate-imports
import {default as _rollupMoment, Moment} from 'moment';

const moment = _rollupMoment || _moment;

// See the Moment.js docs for the meaning of these formats:
// https://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/format/
export const MY_FORMATS = {
  parse: {
    dateInput: 'MM/YYYY',
  },
  display: {
    dateInput: 'MM/YYYY',
    monthYearLabel: 'MMM YYYY',
    dateA11yLabel: 'LL',
    monthYearA11yLabel: 'MMMM YYYY',
  },
};

/** @title Datepicker emulating a Year and month picker */
@Component({
  selector: 'datepicker-views-selection-example',
  templateUrl: 'datepicker-views-selection-example.html',
  styleUrls: ['datepicker-views-selection-example.css'],
  providers: [
    // `MomentDateAdapter` can be automatically provided by importing `MomentDateModule` in your
    // application's root module. We provide it at the component level here, due to limitations of
    // our example generation script.
    {
      provide: DateAdapter,
      useClass: MomentDateAdapter,
      deps: [MAT_DATE_LOCALE, MAT_MOMENT_DATE_ADAPTER_OPTIONS]
    },

    {provide: MAT_DATE_FORMATS, useValue: MY_FORMATS},
  ],
})
export class DatepickerViewsSelectionExample {
  date = new FormControl(moment());

  chosenYearHandler(normalizedYear: Moment) {
    const ctrlValue = this.date.value;
    ctrlValue.year(normalizedYear.year());
    this.date.setValue(ctrlValue);
  }

  chosenMonthHandler(normalizedMonth: Moment, datepicker: MatDatepicker<Moment>) {
    const ctrlValue = this.date.value;
    ctrlValue.month(normalizedMonth.month());
    this.date.setValue(ctrlValue);
    datepicker.close();
  }
}

HTML:
<mat-form-field appearance="fill">
  <mat-label>Month and Year</mat-label>
  <input matInput [matDatepicker]="dp" [formControl]="date">
  <mat-datepicker-toggle matSuffix [for]="dp"></mat-datepicker-toggle>
  <mat-datepicker #dp
                  startView="multi-year"
                  (yearSelected)="chosenYearHandler($event)"
                  (monthSelected)="chosenMonthHandler($event, dp)"
                  panelClass="example-month-picker">
  </mat-datepicker>
</mat-form-field>

CSS:
.example-month-picker .mat-calendar-period-button {
  pointer-events: none;
}

.example-month-picker .mat-calendar-arrow {
  display: none;
}

For more explanations : https://material.angular.io/components/datepicker/examples

A: Here is a code that worked for me. I see you are trying something similar. Hope it helps.
The .html file:
<mat-form-field>
    <input matInput [matDatepicker]="dp2" [min]="sixMonthsAgo" [max]="today" placeholder="Select a Date" (click)="openDatePicker(dp2)">
    <mat-datepicker-toggle matSuffix [for]="dp2"></mat-datepicker-toggle>
    <mat-datepicker #dp2 startView="multi-year" (monthSelected)="closeDatePicker($event, dp2)"></mat-datepicker>
  </mat-form-field>

The snippet from .ts file:
  this.today = new Date();
  this.sixMonthsAgo = new Date();
  this.sixMonthsAgo.setMonth(this.today.getMonth() - 6);

  openDatePicker(dp) {
    dp.open();
  }

  closeDatePicker(eventData: any, dp?:any) {
    // get month and year from eventData and close datepicker, thus not allowing user to select date
    dp.close();
  }

A: Code in .html
<mat-form-field>
  <input matInput [matDatepicker]="picker" placeholder="Choose a date">
  <mat-datepicker-toggle matSuffix [for]="picker"></mat-datepicker-toggle>
  <mat-datepicker #picker></mat-datepicker>
</mat-form-field>

Code in .ts
import {MatDatepicker} from '@angular/material/datepicker';

 @ViewChild('picker') datePickerElement = MatDatepicker;

  ngOnInit() {
    console.log(this.datePickerElement)
    console.log(this.datePickerElement['opened'])

    setTimeout(() => {
          this.datePickerElement['_datepickerInput']._dateFormats = {
  parse: {
    dateInput: 'LL',
  },
  display: {
    dateInput: 'MMMM YYYY',
    monthYearLabel: 'MMMM YYYY',
  },
};
    },1000)

  }

This is working fine for me.
Date format will display like below screenshot

A: In my case I hade a dynamic amount of inputs so I couldn't insert the data into the form control like in the documentation:
https://material.angular.io/components/datepicker/overview#datepicker-views-selection
this was my solution:
  setDateHandler(dateEvent: Moment,datepicker: MatDatepicker<any>) {
datepicker._selectedChanged.next(dateEvent);
datepicker.close(); }

Ionic 2 Vs. NativeScript
Written by: Michael Vano
Posted on Jun 27, 2017 July 18, 2019
The popularity of iOS and Android apps has only been increasing, and with it, the need for creating apps efficiently is in more demand.
In this post, we look at two options that utilize the Angular Framework: Ionic 2 and NativeScript.
Side Note: NativeScript does have a setup to use JavaScript alone, but for this post, we'll be looking at the Angular setup.
Both have many great features available, so we will be doing a very high-level comparison of them.
Now despite both using the Angular Framework, they both have some significant differences, which can factor into our decision for choosing one over the other.
What We Need To Know Before Starting
Ionic 2 utilizes Cordova (https://cordova.apache.org/), a "webview" or hybrid application. It's essentially a browser inside of a mobile application. Ionic 2 compiles together a website and that website is then displayed in the webview and uses cordova plugins as a bridge to access a devices hardware.
As for NativeScript, the build we get is that an actual native application, as if it were written in Objective-C (iOS) or Java (Android). No browser or web view.
So why is this important? The main thing would be performance. Having your app wrapped inside of a browser that is inside of an app means more resources needed to run and needs extra code to bridge the webview with the devices functionality. But an app written in native code uses fewer resources and has direct access to device features.
The HTML Templates
Let's look at a typical component in many applications: a list.
Ionic 2 takes advantage of the ES2016 standards and creates their own custom Angular components, so we end up seeing the HTML template code look like this.
<ion-list>
<button ion-item *ngFor="let item of items" (click)="itemSelected(item)">
</ion-list>
Ionic 2 has custom HTML tags to create these components, which already have functionality and styling added to them, granted, you follow the structure laid out in their documentation.
With NativeScript, the templating code looks like this.
<ListView [items]="countries" (itemTap)="onItemTap($event)" class="list-group">
<ng-template let-country="item" let-i="index" let-odd="odd" let-even="even">
<GridLayout class="list-group-item">
<Label [text]="country.name"></Label>
</GridLayout>
</ng-template>
</ListView>
(sample code take from https://docs.nativescript.org/angular/code-samples/ui/listview )
This looks more like XML rather than HTML, but NativeScript has set up the templating code to make it act like HTML tags in Angular, utilizing the "class" property and other directives. But as we can see, it does not use the familiar *ngFor directive Angular to loop through the list. Instead, it uses custom attributes like "let-country='item'" and "let-i='index'".
Side Note: If we weren't using the Angular Framework in NativeScript, and just JavaScript, we'd be creating XML files for the UI elements of our app.
Ionic 2, being wrapped in a webview, can use almost any JavaScript library out there. But with NativeScript, because it is not inside of a webview, it does have some restrictions. It would not work well with any JavaScript libraries that call upon Internet Browser functions or properties. Things like "window", "screen" or "history" would not work within a Native Application as each platform has their own way of handling these kinds of actions and properties.
What You Get In The Framework
If we look through the documentation of Ionic 2 and NativeScript, we get a sense that Ionic 2 (the two right columns in black text) has a lot more to offer out of the box. Thankfully, with Angular's ability to build and compile only the components you use, also known as "tree shaking", it means that the finally build won't get over bloated with all this extra code it comes with.
Another thing we should note is that Ionic 2 does not necessarily cover everything that NativeScript has out of the box and vice versa. NativeScript has a "Gestures" directive, that is not present in Ionic 2, but Ionic 2 has social media plugins, like "Facebook" and "Twitter" available that NativeScript does not have. These features could be very important; depending on the type of mobile app we wish to build and the timeline in which we need to build it.
Even though we've just scratched the surface of these mobile app frameworks, we can start to get an idea of what they're capable of and some of their differences.
If we are more comfortable working with HTML elements or common Angular directives and are not planning to do an app that requires high performance, Ionic 2 maybe the better choice for us. This is especially true if we are looking to integrate social media like Facebook and Twitter into our app.
If we are planning a mobile app that is concerned with performance, then direct access to devices core functionalities is important and NativeScript maybe the way we go.
But always keep in mind that we don't just have to be limited to just these 2 options. There are still many other mobile app frameworks out there as well, like ReactNative and jQuery Mobile. We always need to keep searching for the right one for our project. Hopefully, this blog post has given you something to work with.

Turkey, Russia to Play Stronger Roles In Syria After US Troops Pullout - SNC

https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201812191070836583-usa-syria-turkey-russia-troops-pullout-settlement/
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Russia and Turkey will play a more vigorous role in a political settlement of the Syrian conflict after the US troops withdraw, a member of the Syrian Negotiation Commission and a member of the Political Committee of the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, Hadi al-Bahra told Sputnik Wednesday.
"As for the stabilization, reconstruction and refugees return, all of these cannot be achieved in practical and non-reversible way, without reuniting the Syrians through a political settlement that leads to the full implementation of the UNSC resolution 2254," al-Bahra said. "Now Turkey and Russia have to play much more active role to achieve that."
Meanwhile, Coordinating the US troops pullout from Syria with Ankara will empower Turkey to have a stronger role within the Astana group, Hadi al-Bahra told Sputnik.
"Empowering the Turkish role in this withdrawal operation and having full coordination with the US will empower Turkey to play a stronger role with in the Astana group, and in pushing for a political solution," Hadi al-Bahra said. "At the end, Turkey has no ambitions in Syria and does not aspire to remain there after a political solution leading to the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2254 has been reached."

Earlier in the day, the White House announced the removal of all service members currently on the ground in Syria, the Pentagon said they have already started the process of returning US troops home. All State Department staff will evacuate from Syria within 24 hours, according to media reports.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that the United States is moving on to the next phase in its campaign in Syria against the Daesh terror group, and will continue to work with its allies to fight the radical group.
Pentagon chief spokesperson Dana White confirmed that the pullout of US forces from Syria had begun, and stressed that the US-led coalition's fight against Daesh is not over.

"For us we consider that any improvements in the relationship and understandings between Turkey and the US will serve Syria and our cause better, we should never forget that Turkey is our neighbor and we share the same concerns regarding the integrity and unity of Syria, and the same security concerns," Hadi al-Bahra said. "Also Turkey is hosting the largest number of Syrian refugees in the world more than three and half million, also it invested heavily in the Northern part of Syria to stabilize it."
Moreover, The United States made the decision to pull out its forces from Syria in full coordination with Turkey in order to avoid unintended clashes, Hadi al-Bahra stressed.
"After Turkey patiently waited for a long time for the United States to deliver on the agreement for Manbij, at last it found itself due to its own national security concerns in a position that it has to act military to secure its borders, and it did inform the United States about its planned operations," al-Bahra said. "In order not to complicate the situation and risk unintended clashes, the United States has decided to pull its troops out in full coordination with Turkey."

The US military presence, he added, was always limited and aligned with Syria's Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD), which created conflicts of interest with Turkey, Washington's main NATO ally. US troops were solely focused on countering the Daesh terrorist group and not Syrian President Bashar Assad's government, al-Bahra said.
"To set the record straight, the American presence in that area was only in line with its fight against Daesh and in support of its local ground proxy the PYD, it never was against the Assad regime nor in support of our quest for democracy," he said.
However, the US forces pullout from Syria will complicate the ongoing fight against the Daesh and will add more pressure on Turkey and Russia to defeat them, Hadi al-Bahra pointed out.
"This move will complicate the fight against ISIS [Daesh], as no one can claim that this fight is over, still few pockets exist, and the area not stabilized to make sure that ISIS [Daesh] and other terrorist organizations will not make a comeback," Hadi al-Bahra said. "This adds more pressure on Turkey and Russia to finish what the US did not."

Pentagon Aims to Train Up to 40,000 Local Stabilization Troops in Syria
Syria has been in a state of conflict since 2011, with numerous opposition groups and terrorist organizations fighting the Syrian Arab Army in an attempt to topple the government of Bashar Assad. Russia, along with Turkey and Iran, is one of the guarantor states of the Syrian ceasefire.
The US-led coalition of more than 70 countries is conducting military operations against the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. The coalition's operations in Iraq are conducted in cooperation with the Iraqi government, but those in Syria are not authorized by the Syrian government or the UN Security Council.

We understand that many professions do not fall neatly into any standard classification.
We know that as a miscellaneous profession the activities that you perform and the way that you trade can be unique to you, and subsequently obtaining the correct cover for your needs takes time, understanding and expertise. It is important that insurers understand exactly what your firm does, how exposed to potential claims you are, and how your risks need to be managed.
The business description is crucial. Whereas for a chartered accountant the PI wording covers most of the activities that one would expect an accountant to do, due to the nature of miscellaneous professions a standard miscellaneous wording just can't take account the countless unique requirements that each individual business might require cover for.

The Toyota Avalon is a four-door sedan that was recently redesigned for the 2019 model year. It's longer, with more rear-seat room, than the Camry—though the two cars share an architecture and some running gear.
With the Avalon, Toyota has a flagship sedan to take on vehicles such as the Chevy Impala, Chrysler 300, and Kia Cadenza.
Toyota introduced a new Avalon for the 2019 model year. It plans to add a more sporty Avalon TRD for the 2020 model year.
A new Toyota Avalon made its debut in 2018 to go on sale for the 2019 model year. It takes some of its styling cues from the Camry and others in the Toyota lineup, but the new Avalon strikes out on its own with a more subdued approach.
The new Avalon is incrementally longer than the outgoing model and visually lower for a sleeker shape. The Avalon's wheelbase is two inches longer than the last-generation version, which opens up the interior space more. A 9.0-inch touchscreen is standard, top trim levels get premium audio and wireless cellphone charging.
Like the outgoing model, the Avalon is powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 or 2.5-liter inline-4 hybrid powertrains. An 8-speed transmission is standard on all versions, and shuttles power to the front wheels only. Top trims get an adaptive suspension to smother pockmarked roads.
The Avalon comes equipped with a long list of standard active safety features including forward collision warnings with automatic emergency braking, active lane control, blind-spot monitors, and automatic high beams.
The first Avalon arrived for 1995 and replaced Toyota's Cressida sedan. It was based on the Camry and was assembled at a Toyota plant in Kentucky. Although it shares a lot underneath with the brand's mainstream family sedan, the Avalon has always offered more in the way of luxury and space, with a lot of features trickling down from Lexus to the Toyota brand and arriving in the Avalon first.
Early versions of the Avalon received the same engine as the Camry and looked quite similar to the Camry—if you squinted. A redesigned version, introduced for 2000, changed that. The new version was genuinely roomier and featured options not offered on the Camry, including a navigation system and electronic stability control plus brake assist. At that time, the 3.0-liter V-6 made 210 hp. These Avalon models were extremely smooth and comfortable, but not particularly rewarding to drive.
The Avalon was completely redesigned for 2005, with a sleek, very aerodynamic new shape and new 280-hp (later 268 hp) 3.5-liter V-6. Toyota tried to satisfy those who wanted more performance, with a slightly sportier Touring model that included a firmer suspension calibration along with larger wheels and spruced-up trim. In these models, the V-6 and 5-speed automatic shifted almost imperceptibly, in Lexus-like fashion. Their ride was just as composed as in the previous generation, but handling was better—but nothing close to a truly sporty feel. A huge trunk and space to sprawl in the backseat were the Avalon's hallmarks, and layers of sound insulation and acoustic windshield kept it whisper-quiet inside.
Offered in a range of models from XL and XLS up to Touring and Limited models, this generation of Toyota Avalon offered more technological features than any Toyota model up until the 2010 Toyota Prius. Rain-sensing wipers, xenon HID headights, remote engine start, and the Dynamic Laser Cruise Control System were all available. Top-of-the-line Limited models received heated and ventilated seats, a smart-key system, power rear sunshade, and high-end JBL sound.
This generation of Avalon was recognized for its smooth ride and high build quality. Toward the end of its run, in 2012, it went in for a slight redesign. Changes included the addition of Bluetooth audio streaming as well as a reworked interior with more comfort for rear-seat passengers thanks in part to reclining seats.
For 2013, the Toyota Avalon was fully modernized, with a redesign and re-engineering that yielded a sheen of sophistication in everything from its control interface to the way it drives. The sleek, curvy new exterior and bolder interior design—with capacitive controls for climate and audio—are meant to appeal to a relatively younger crowd (of 40- to 60-year-olds) than any previous Avalon.
For 2014, all models received a rearview camera, while blind-spot monitors became optional on the Avalon XLE Touring and Avalon Hybrid XLE Touring models.
Toyota updated the Avalon in 2016. Styling changes were subtle and include a lightly reworked front end with a widened lower grille, a tighter upper grille, and turn signals moved to the edges of the fascia in place of fog lights, as well as chrome trim for the rear and revised taillights. There are two suspension setups on the revised model: a more dynamic calibration for the V-6 Touring model and a comfort-oriented tune for the rest of the V-6 models and the hybrid versions. Standard equipment sees a boost in most models, and trim levels are being rearranged slightly, with the Hybrid no longer available in the Touring grade.
Slimmer and sleeker now than in the past, the third-generation Avalon was more interesting to drive. Standout advanced-tech features included rear cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and automatic braking, while the new Avalon gets Toyota's Entune system for running smartphone-based apps, as well as a magnificent 785-watt JBL sound system. The 2013 Toyota Avalon was also the first car to offer wireless charging for mobile phones.
The latest Avalon is available in a new Hybrid model for the first time, and based on early drives we found it the most compelling package. With a combined output of 200 hp (from a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine and Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive system), the Avalon Hybrid accelerates quietly and confidently, while returning an EPA rating of 40 mpg city, 39 highway, 40 combined. We saw roughly 40 mpg in a real-world test drive.
The Avalon has an excellent reputation for safety reliability and has held its resale value well. But in recent years, the model's price has increased. A new Avalon Limited can reach beyond $40,000, well into luxury territory, where the related Lexus ES anchors that franchise.
Beautiful,safe smooth riding car never feel a bump in the road. Quiet and very comfortable.
This is my 6 Avalon (2008, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2012) and those are in order. You'll notice I had a 2013, which I quickly (3700 miles on it) traded for a new 2012.

You'll notice I had a 2013, which I quickly (3700 miles on it) traded for a new 2012. I traded because the 2013 was Rough, loud and uncomfortable, I can say, that they have done a great job of getting it close to what earlier Avalons were known for, Smooth, Quiet and Comfortable.
There are things I and my passengers would like to see brought back, the reclining rear seats for one, although those who have experienced the heated rear seats, like those a lot, and if they had to give up one for the other, it would be a tough call.
I would love to see a bigger Nav screen, and easier talking direction to use the system. I for one, think a simple command of "New location" seems pretty easy, but it's not one of eh commands that works.
The Sirus radio fades in and out more then I'd like, and the HD service (weather and traffic app's) don't work here.
Now these are all small issues that I'd like to see changed / fix, but none make me wish I hadn't traded or purchased the 2016 LTD. I (Almost) love the car - maybe an 7.5 or 8 out of 10.
I did order the car special, with all the bells and whistles. These included the optional 17" wheels, Illuminated door sills, Mats & Carpets, Door moldings, door edge guards, bumper appliqué, lower body panel chrome trim, Blue with Tan interior.
I can say, to anyone who tried or has a 2013 - 2015 Avalon, this model is Much nicer, smoother and quieter, IF these are issues for you.


The first step in buying your dream property in Costa Rica is to identify which area or town is right for you. Despite is size, Costa Rica is very diverse country and has a lot to offer with several regions worthy of consideration.
Are you someone who likes the fast-paced cosmopolitan lifestyle with all its conveniences? Do you prefer to sip margaritas at the beach from your balcony? Or do you like the idea of a cool weather mountain town with lush foliage, beautiful vistas and a thriving expat community?
The variety of Costa Rica is part of its appeal. Many feel an exploration trip that includes visits to more than one region of Panama often excites the visitor. It becomes easy to envision a rich life knowing that so many options are a short drive, flight or boat ride away. Yet, most potential residents know up front which type of home base would be best for them. In brief – If you are a city person, you would likely enjoy living in Central Valley area. A beach person yet eager for lots of amenities and a short drive to the big city would focus on the Central Pacific beaches. If you prefer a quieter, more pristine beach region near a regional town center but with fewer crowds, great fishing and gorgeous islands, you might prefer the beaches of Nicoya. If you prefer worm yet not too hot climate combined with peaceful country living, lake Arenal might the best choice for you. There are many other options in Costa Rica.
The investment decision differs a bit from the lifestyle decision. While most Costa Rica areas have the potential to provide great gains, choosing a region for real estate or business investment in Costa Rica is a matter of understanding the market, clarifying your objectives, identifying a business or business model and buying right. Costa Rica Real Estate Hub is pleased to provide potential real estate investors a greater understanding of the developments occurring in Costa Rica that could affect investment and provide opportunities to investors.
The next step is to identify a real estate agency that will match properties to your needs, help you understand the real estate market in that area of Costa Rica and guide you through the buying process. It is important that you select an agency with a track record of success and a reputation for honesty. When receiving recommendations or referrals to a real estate person it's a good idea to be aware of any referral fees that might be influencing someone to send you to a particular agent.
A quality agency will inquire about your particular needs and make sure that properties you are shown closely match your needs. Are their listings under signed agreements or do they have only verbal agreements with the Sellers? Listing agreements should be in writing to ensure a clear right to sell as well as protections for buyers. Be wary of agents who post properties on their sites to make it look like they have a lot of listings without even having a verbal agreement with the owners of the properties.
Are the listings on their site exclusive or nonexclusive? Lots of exclusive listings can be an indication they have earned trust in the market.
Are the listings on their website up-to-date or were some of the properties sold years earlier? Less professional agencies sometimes use old sold listings on their site to attract new clients. It is understandable if a property remains on the agency website if it is under agreement and not yet completed transfer or if the property closed very recently, but some real estate companies have very old listings still up that sold long ago.
Are they a single person or do they have a staff to assist in the closing process? Completing a real estate transaction in Costa Rica can be a team effort even if you have a capable attorney.
Do they help with the agreement of sale drafting?
Do they help with the closing process or do they just hand things over to an attorney? What specific help do they provide after the agreement signing? The agency should be actively involved in ensuring that all the necessary documents are obtained including the appropriate clearance certificates from a variety of government agencies.
Are they receiving referral fees from attorneys, surveyors or builders? It's a good idea to be aware of their financial interest in any referrals.
Truly professional real estate companies provide a consultative sales approach without pressure and can be of great assistance to you as a buyer. A good agency will also be crucial in navigating the offer and contract process as well as the bureaucracy and issues that emerge as you attempt to complete the transaction. The right one will protect your interests, help ensure that you have a fair and level contract, and facilitate the entire sales process until completion of the transaction.
There are some buyers who decide to look for properties without the help of an agency. Those buyers are at risk. In our experience, they often see fewer properties that match what they are looking for and make offers with a limited education about the pricing and availability of the market – especially with regard to actual sale prices rather than asking prices. They are at a big disadvantage when it comes time to make the offer forgetting to address key contingencies. Sales contracts in these cases can be lopsided for the seller giving the seller subtle out-clauses and direct deposit payments without an escrow or escrow type protection for the buyer. A good agency will help to protect the buyer as well as the seller. Those agencies know how to work with attorneys to prioritize the transaction, help get problems solved through hard work and knowing the system and watch the backs of the buyers throughout the process. A good agency also has a clear and detailed listing agreement signed by the seller that includes clauses that protect the buyers such as requiring notice to the agency of any liens, liabilities or deficiencies associated with the property being offered.
Our honest experience is that buyers who work with a quality agency have the fewest issues and the smoothest transactions. They often wind up buying a property that more closely matches their needs and pay a lower price by being educated about what is really happening in the market.
Don't be at risk – it serves buyers' best interest both financially and logistically to utilize a quality real estate company in purchasing their property.
After selecting your real estate agency, the staff will ask you some questions about what you are looking for and what's most important to you. Once they have an understanding of your needs, they will provide you with photos – usually by computer screen – and some comments about properties that match. Discussions of the properties should include details about the climate or microclimate and the surrounding area or development. Viewings of the properties often occur the same day though some property owners do require a day or more advance notice. While just walking into an agency office and starting the process from there is fine, it is a good idea to set an appointment with your agency prior to arriving there to ensure a qualified person will be ready to greet you. Giving as much information as you can as early as possible prior to the appointment either by phone or email will give the agency additional time to identify properties that will work for you.
After identifying the properties to see, you will go out and view them. If all goes well, you will find your new home or dream property.
Once you find that right property, it's time to make an offer. The offer sheet will provide the basic terms which usually include the price, the payment schedule, which party will pay for closing and other expenses, how the funds will be held or paid prior to the closing, and any contingencies as well as how long the owner has to respond. The offer usually becomes binding when accepted and deposit paid.
Sometimes the offer is accepted as it is, but often there is some negotiation between the parties; primarily over price and sometimes over other terms of the offer such as the number of days to closing. At this stage, the agency is actively working to bring the parties together to arrive at a signed agreement.
Once the parties have agreed to the general terms, then there is a contract drafted for review by the parties. The contract should be specific about the detailed rights and obligations associated with the sale. This is called a promise to purchase agreement which is a legally binding contract subject to the specific terms cited in the document. Before signing, there should be an attorney or attorneys who review the contract, participate in the final draft of the agreement and help to advise the parties regarding the transaction.
After the fine print of the contract is agreed upon, then it is signed by buyers and sellers and an initial payment or deposit is made, commonly to lawyer's escrow account.
Part of the deposit is often used as detailed in the agreement to pay expenses due by the seller prior to completion of the transfer with the balance released at the closing. Usually, the deposit is nonrefundable as long as the seller complies with the agreement and subject to any agreed upon contingencies specified in the agreement.
Due diligence will include an attorney checking the property (and corporation that owns the property if applicable) for any liens or liabilities.
Sometimes the buyers choose to do an inspection in the initial days after signing to ensure the safety and function of the structure if a house or building is part of the purchase. In most cases, the inspection is to check for major issues or dangers to the property, not for minor repairs that do not endanger the property.
Some buyers also feel more comfortable when there is a resurvey or confirmation of the property size and boundaries. There is often an allotment for a small margin of error in the contract given that surveys can differ slightly between surveyors depending on their methods and equipment available at the time of the survey.
During this period the buyers are readying the funds for the purchase and making the payment arrangements per the agreement. The payment arrangements should protect the buyer and ensure that significant payments do not go to the Seller prior to the transfer of ownership. There are several ways that payments can be handled to mutually protect buyer and seller.
The purchase agreement should be specific and include the timelines for the closing and the method of transfer. Factors that help determine closing time are the status of the paperwork of the sellers, how quickly the buyers can have the funds in place, and how the property is being transferred. The typical closing time from when the agreement is signed is 30-60 days, but in usual cases, some transactions take longer and others have happened just a few days or a week after signing.

The High Performance is an imposing award that will not go unnoticed. This award is to recognize those that are consistently operating at a higher level. This award comes in three sizes and includes custom etching on the top and base.


The first C&C Grand Prix Series is now complete, pending some possible adjustments from today's race at Ely. The overall table was won by Karin, followed by first male Noel. The age/gender adjusted standings were topped by Simon B followed by John F; first female was Karin. Well done everyone who took part; the fixtures for 2009 will be posted when they're decided upon.
Alan has a hill session planned for Friday afternoon (2nd Jan). See the Training section.
The first Frostbite of 2009 is almost upon us already - this Sunday (4th) at Ramsey. We really need plenty of C&C runners there - things looked up at Huntingdon in December, but given the time of year and the prevalence of the Lurgy, absolutely everyone can make a big difference to the team. And it's great fun too. Just turn up in your C&C vest, no registering or entry fee. 11:00 seniors, 10:15 juniors. Travel directions and race information are at the Frostbite League website. If anyone wants to organise a meet (at, er, let's take a random example, maybe Wilberforce Road at 9am?), please let me know and I can put the word out.
As usual, there was a huge C&C turnout at the excellent Ely New Year's Eve 10K at Little Downham. On an absolutely freezing day, Alessandro starred for us, running 35:25 and finishing first Vet. There were plenty of other good individual performances too - have a browse.
A couple of sets of results for you from the festive period. Amy G led the C&C challenge at the Buntingford Year End 10, and Ultra Katie clocked a PB at the Sale Harriers Festive 5. I'm sure some of you, like Katie, must have raced back home over Christmas - let me know if so.
Results are up from the C&C Boxing Day race (thanks, Noel). Congratulations to Will and Nathalie. Olympian Will pipped his winning time of 2007 by one second to record the quickest time for a quarter of a century with 19:31. Only Ian W was able to live with the pace, but finished half a minute back. Emerging talent Nathalie won the women's race in 27:16. Some impressive times show us all that it is possible to survive Christmas in decent shape.
Dave Y and I (Phil G) share the same birthday (just a couple of years apart - ish!!) on Xmas Eve. All welcome to help us celebrate in The Old Spring from about 8.30pm onwards. Hope to see you there, but if you can't make it hope you have a Merry Xmas!
A few of us will be meeting on Tuesday to do a slowish run of about an hour leaving from Wilberforce Road at 6.45pm. Please feel free to join us but this isn't a training run as such rather just a pre-Christmas run for those around.
A late result from the Herts Sunday League cross-country at Southgate: well done Sue and Diana, third and fourth in category.
Don't forget to work off the excesses of Christmas Day in the traditional way. The annual C&C Boxing Day Race starts at 11am at the Newnham Green end of Fen Causeway. It's free, four miles to Trumpington War Memorial and back, and you can bully your non-C&C Christmas guests into taking part too.
Come and help Glyn celebrate - eight-ish onwards this Friday (19th) in the Free Press.
Elsewhere on a busy Sunday for racing, a gaggle of C&C cross-country specialists took on the monthly Ryston XC event, all of them with excellent placings, and Mike D raced on his own at the Bedford Half.
Well done Kim and Phil A for pleasing results at the one-off Centenary Marathon in Hastings, a town notorious for its hills. Kim's run placed her third in the V45s.
News in from the third Frostbite League race in Hinchingbrooke Park, Huntingdon, on an excellent, testing and often horrendously muddy course. The juniors were again one short of a full team, but managed seventh place thanks to some excellent runs. George S was again first girl, finishing fourth in all, just behind the boys' winner. The team remains in eighth place overall. The seniors were next up; particularly noteworthy were Noel, Mike Salt, the long-lost John Bowstead (all placing top 20) and Carol, first C&C female. A creditable fifth place on the day kept us in fifth overall.
This was the eighth and last-but-one event on the C&C Grand Prix 2008 - tables are now up. The final event is the Ely New Year's Eve 10K.
There's a superb set of photos at this link, one of them stolen for the pic on the right.
An excellent time was had by all at Jesus College last night - many thanks to Chris B for making it possible.
The draw for the club's London Marathon places was held, and the 'lucky' winners were Phil G, Caroline P and Mary J. Congrats to them.
Well done Sue B, first female vet 55 in the third race of the series at Stevenage.
Was provisional for the 4th Jan, now definitely off.
For those of you at CCAC, who are interested in the Swaledale Marathon, you need to be on the ball for getting your entry in on the day the entries open and most importantly post it the same day as the places go very quickly.
See the Swaledale Outdoor Club website for full details (or click 'read more') - you will need to act on or before the 3rd of January. The slightest delay means missing out.
Entry forms requested by post will be sent out from 1st January 2009. They should arrive from 3rd January thus ensuring that everyone has the same chance.
What better way to recover from the C&C Christmas do than to don the famous vest and compete for C&C in the Frostbite? The next race is at Hinchingbrooke Park, Huntingdon, and full details and directions are given on the Frostbite League website - please take a quick look as there's some important info there. Should be a lovely run, about five miles, mostly off-road.
Last weekend's racing results are in, from the dry, civilised and fast Nene Valley 10 in Peterborough and the wet, filthy, slow and well-named GRIM 8 near Aldershot. Alessandro topped the C&C standings up the A1, with an awesome 58:47 ten-mile time, beating Olivier, Tim and Craig. Steve T, Dave Y and Phil G avoided drowning on the GRIM's assault course-stroke-tank-testing track to finish 17th team.
There are four team prizes for the Cambridgeshire Road League and after wide discussion we've decided to award the prizes firstly to those who turned out most frequently for the team and then to the best performance for those who competed the same number of times. This means the winners of the prizes are Steve Thoday, Simon Redfern, Mike Smith and Noel Carroll. Prizes will be given out at the road runners party at Jesus College on 13th December.

EA has confirmed updates and new games that will be released in 2019 and 2020. According to the company, it will not only be introducing more content to current games but will also be adding new titles. This includes more content for Apex Legends, a new free-to-play battle royale game that just came out and has already got a million players. Now that EA and Respawn are working on a battle royale game we might be rapid updates in order to keep the players busy. Upcoming games include Need For Speed, Star Wars and more.
Need For Speed is a very successful franchise in general and we have not seen a new game in the series for a while not. That is most likely because the latest title was not very popular due to the microtransactions and odd card upgrade system. Need for Speed Payback launched in November of 2017 and it is about time that we got a new game in the series. I hope that EA can do a better job this time and avoid putting microtransactions in every game as it does spoil the experience.
Anthem is the latest game from EA and Bioware and is going to release later this year. We played the VIP demo and the open demo as well. While the VIP demo had some major issues the open demo was much better and I hope that the launch version of the game is perfect.
Let us know what you think about this announcement and which game you are most interested in playing.

In everything, He is good. God has promised to never leave us or forsake us, and He is so good!
As a child, I sang this song over and over again and in His goodness, He inscribed the words onto my heart and into my life.
My friend Haley, who is in second grade, came to my after-school music class last year. Haley definitely has a testimony to share of God's goodness in her life. She is a light to all around her. Her voice is so pure and sweet, and she wants to use her gift for the God who has been so good to her. Haley is living and thriving with a hearing impairment, and she is proving to others that God uses us in amazing ways when we make ourselves available to Him.
Take a listen and sing along with Haley and me!
God is So Good, arranged by Paige Givens 2016. Sung by Haley McAdams.

Q: Merging cluster of points into polygons This is my project:

I want to convert all points that touch each other into polygons, something like this (I know I missed some of them):

I tried using dissolve and convex hull to do that, but they didn't work as intended. Also, this is just a fraction of the whole project, so I don't know how many clusters there should be. Hence, I can't run k-means.
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about PostGIS. Does anyone know how to do this?

A:
This will work when each cluster has an attribute that defines it.
If there is no such attribute, you can achieve it by means of "DBSCAN clustering" geoalgorithm.
Clusters point features based on a 2D implementation of Density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) algorithm.
The algorithm requires two parameters, a minimum cluster size ("minPts"), and the maximum distance allowed between clustered points ("eps").

Let's assume there is a point layer called 'pois', see image below.

Use the "Minimum bounding geometry"` geoalgorithm from the QGIS's Toolbox and get the output

A: Managed to do it with the "Rectangles, Ovals, Diamonds (Variable)" tool. I used a rectangle with a small width and height (0.7) and then dissolved the result.

Q: Use of "do we" in the sentence "Only after 10pm do we actually sort out the mess." Consider the use of the words "do we" in this sentence:

Only after 10pm do we actually sort out the mess.

Can someone give me the technical name for this usage of "do we"? Is it called something? Is there a webpage which explains when this is used?
Thanks

A: "Do we" is called subject-auxiliary inversion. This occurs in declarative clauses only when certain types of element are put in front position. Negatives are one very obvious type of element that trigger subject-auxiliary inversion when fronted:
"Never had I seen such chaos".
"At no stage were they in danger".
"Only" is not negative, but it is semantically close to a negative, in that "Only John liked it", for example, entails 'No one other than John liked it'. The inversion is also found with some items that are not similar to negatives:
"John enjoyed it and so did Robert".


Zach Miller, at a recent DU practice, is the first American Indian to play for Bill Tierney, who has been a highly successful coach for 29 years.
Standout freshman attackman Zach Miller leads the Denver Pioneers with 20 goals, 29 points and a .645 shooting percentage.
University of Denver lacrosse coach Bill Tierney is in his 29th year of coaching and fifth with the Pioneers. Six of his Princeton teams won NCAA championships. He has taken DU to the Final Four three times.
His proudest moment as a coach? That's yet to happen, but he envisions it to be the day Zach Miller graduates. Miller, a standout freshman attackman, is the first American Indian to play for Tierney, and likely his next All-American.
Miller, 19, is from the Seneca Nation of New York, a founding member of the Iroquois League that also includes the Mohawk, Onondaga, Oneida and Cayuga tribes. He grew up on the Allegany Reservation, the oldest of Dawn Colburn's five children.
Zach was born in 1995 while Dawn was a sophomore at Cornell University. She is the longtime director of mental health for Cattaraugus County, which encom-passes the reservation.
As good as Miller's back story is, Tierney wouldn't have recruited him if he couldn't play. Believe it, the kid can play. Miller had five goals and two assists in a recent 9-5 victory over Ohio State. He leads the fifth-ranked Pioneers in goals (20), points (28) and shooting percentage (.645).
"He's a special lacrosse player, forgetting his uniqueness as a person, uniqueness of his home life," Tierney said.
Lacrosse originated in the 17th century. It's a sport first played by Indians in what is now Canada, and Miller grew up learning the Canadian game. The "box" game, dubbed "indoor" in America, is played inside a gymnasium or on a hockey rink. Miller played that since age 3 on the reservation, then began playing field lacrosse in high school at The Hill Academy in Vaughn, Ontario.
Zach's father, Chris Miller, played the game through high school before joining the Marines and coached Zach through the eighth grade. Virtually all the tribe members of the Allegany Reservation grew up playing lacrosse.
In order for Miller to reach his potential, his family raised more than $120,000 for Zach to attend The Hill Academy. Quarterly annuity checks from seven people — Miller, his parents and four younger siblings — amounted to about $9,000 and were devoted to Miller's education for four years.
Miller stood out at The Hill Academy, and most major college lacrosse programs showed interest. Miller had ties to Denver as former Hill Academy teammate Jeremy Noble is a standout senior midfielder. Pioneers associate head coach Matt Brown has successfully recruited Canada for seven years. Miller was drawn to Brown, who grew up in Canada with the box game, and to the outdoor life of Colorado.
"I like Denver, the city, the mountains, and it's a great group of guys. Never a dull moment with them," he said.
Zach once asked his mother if he could go hunting. She said yes, thinking he would chase rabbits or other small game. Zach came back with a black bear.
"He's always been fearless," she said.
She wishes Zach were living closer to home but is supportive of his decision to move across the continent.
Tierney is seeing more Indians play at major Division I lacrosse programs.
Which is why Tierney is so excited to see Miller succeed and hoping to see him graduate. He wants to contribute to more Indians playing elite-level lacrosse.


Yom Kippur breakfast at my sister-in-law's is always a dairy meal, so I first made a version of this cake with real butter and cream. Now for other holidays and especially dinners where some kind of meat or turkey is served I need a dairy-free version of this cake.
To satisfy my goal of getting away from margarine, shortening, and chemical infused dairy-free milk substitutes, I have been experimenting with baking dairy-free, using pure organic coconut oil, almond milk, and other liquids, fat, and flavor substitutes. It turns out that many members of my family are lactose intolerant and it is just a relief to be able to bite into a dessert or dish relatively care free, no chemical aftertaste, no pill popping, and no stomach ache.
Heat oven to 350º F. Peel apples (you could also use Pink Lady or Honey Crisp), cut them half, and core them. I find it easiest to core them with a melon ball tool. Dice apple halves into 1/3 inch cubes. Place apples in a medium bowl with sugar and cinnamon. Stir and set aside.
Combine sugar measured for cake, eggs, vegetable oil, orange juice, and vanilla in a large bowl. Whisk to blend. Combine orange zest and dry ingredients in a separate medium bowl. Stir dry ingredients into wet. Mix until just combined and smooth, do not over-mix. Gently fold in diced apples, using a rubber spatula. If any juice has accumulated in the dish of diced apples, leave it behind.
Spray a 12 cup Bundt pan with a non-stick spray. Pour apple cake batter into Bundt pan to about 2/3 to 3/ 4 of the way up the sides. The batter should be well below the top of the pan if it is a true 12 cup Bundt pan. If there is to much batter, spray one or two mini loaf pan molds and pour extra batter in them.
Many fancy shaped Bundt pans are not really 12 cups and you will have left over batter. Bake about 55 minutes to 1 hour and 5 minutes or until tester comes out with barely moist crumbs on it. I prefer to use a long tooth pick or skewer for a tester. Remove cake from oven when ready and set on a cooling rack.
Cool cake in pan for 15 minutes. Turn the cake out onto rack, so air circulates underneath and it continues to cool. Cake can be stored after it is completely cool. Wrap in plastic wrap for freezing, or store in a cake keeper for the next day.
To make caramel place room temperature coconut oil in a small heavy saucepan and add almond milk Place pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer, do not boil, stir. Turn off the heat and set aside.
In another small but deep heavy bottom saucepan, heat sugar and corn syrup on medium heat. The sugar will slowly dissolve and blend with corn syrup. Do not stir; do not try to scrape down the side of the pan. You can swirl the pan a bit now and then. Do not walk away; all of a sudden, you will notice the edges of the melted sugar starting to turn gold. Watch mix very closely. Bit by bit the syrup will turn golden caramel color and all of sugar will be melted. When syrup is all rich caramel color, turn down heat to lowest setting. At this exact moment, add heated coconut oil and almond milk blend, stir in salt and vanilla using a wood spoon. The mixture will foam up almost to the top of the pan, keep calm, stir and it will settle down into rich opaque caramel. If caramel is foaming past the top of the pan, using a mitt, pull pan off the heat for a moment and stir with a wooden spoon. The caramel will go down immediately. Turn heat to medium-low and cook caramel for about 1 minute, it will thicken a little. Set the caramel aside to cool. For this cake I used half of this caramel. The rest I stored in a glass bowl with a lid in my refrigerator. Caramel keeps for several weeks and is delicious on other cakes, ice cream….
Peel and core three Honey Crisp or Granny Smith Apples, (Pink Ladies work well also but I don't believe this is their season). Slice apples in 1/8 inch slices, place in a medium bowl and squeeze orange over top of apples. Toss to mix with juice. Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, add in coconut oil. As coconut oil melts place apples in skillet with as many touching the surface of the pan as possible. Sprinkle cinnamon on apples and dump on brown sugar. Let apples sit for a moment and when bubbling and very hot, gently turn and toss apple slices to distribute brown sugar. Again make sure as many apple slices as possible are flat against the surface of the pan in order to caramelize. Leave apples to cook for a few moments and then, toss and redistribute again. Apples should become soft while coconut oil and brown sugar start to add color to apples. Turn off the heat when apple mix is caramelized and gooey. Place apple cake on the serving plate you are going to use. Fill center of cake with apples and distribute the rest around the cake plate. Ladle approximately one half of the cooked and cooled caramel over the top of the cake, allowing it to run down the sides and pool here and there on the cake plate. Serve. This cake will be fantastic for Thanksgiving, along with pumpkin pie or Chanukah or any party you have coming up.
even if I eat it in moderation.
I look forward to seeing more health recipes.
diabetes and all the rest of the maladies that follow.
Just a little bit once in a while!
HI Linda! Found your blog through the Washington Post. Absolutely love it. You've given me so many delicious ideas for Thanksgiving here. This cake will absolutely be on my table on Thursday! Thanks again!
i am a friend of Francine, we knew each other in high school briefly and we both went to our h.s. 50th reunion and as a result through her i found your Boreka site! I love it and enjoy sooo many recipes and share them with my family, as we too are Jewish and love your recipes.
this cake means a lot to me as i try to eat as much dairy free as possible. and most of my family is lactose intolerant as well, though we take lactaid when we cheat.
i also have an allergy to wheat tho my immunologist/allergist allows me to cheat on holidays and special occasions. i will also try to to substitue the wheat for another flour, and experiment with your recipe.
the last recipe i made was a major success, Nona's special recipe for cookies. and i cannot wait to try this cake on the holiday!
thank you ever so much for all the recipes!!!!! and my family thanks you too!


With the help of my history-focused brother, Bill, I have finally come up with names for each of the three under-construction suites being added to Lesmeister Guesthouse. I'll report on one suite in this blog post, and the other two in future posts.
I've named the all-on-one-level suite that opens onto Marr Street the Jeff Thompson Suite, (see the suite floor plan below) for Confederate General Jeff Thompson, who was captured by Union forces just around the corner from the Lesmeister building, on the Pocahontas town square, August 27, 1863.
Meriwether Jeff Thompson was born in 1826 at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (now West Virginia) into a family with a strong military tradition on both sides of the family. At the time the Civil War broke out, Thompson was serving with the Missouri State Militia in command of the swampy area of southeast Missouri. Know as The Missouri Swamp Fox, Thompson chose to enter the Confederate Army, and he was working out of the St. Charles Hotel on the Pocahontas court square at the time of his capture.
and captured there, great choice!
The other two suites will be named for Pocahontas-connected people just as prominent, or more so! Stay tuned.

Malleus Maleficarum Discussion
Bonus points may be earned by responding thoughtfully to the posts of your classmates.
RILEIGH'S POST:
In Malleus Maleficarum, the first conclusion made by the author is that witchcraft comes from lust. Meaning women are clearly more likely to be a witch than men being a warlock because as the author says, "women [are] insatiable." This is tied back to the story of Adam and Eve based on the fact that Eve was the insatiable one who partook of the fruit of life from Satan himself. The author even states it clearly from proverbs: "There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, a fourth thing which says not, It is enough; that is, the mouth of the womb." Another resemblance to the bible is made when the author describes women as an incomplete animal. The author says "there was a defect in the formation of the first woman, since she was formed from a bent rib," referencing that Eve was made from Adam's rib and that is why all women are incomplete. A resemblance can be found between Malleus Maleficarum, the story of Adam and Eve, and the story of Persephone from last week. Both Eve and Persephone took the fruit that tainted them from the devil giving it them.
You can clearly tell that Malleus Maleficarum is written by a man based off the assumptions in the essay. The author's very first descriptions of women is that they are more superstitious and impressionable. When I continue to read, I have to look more in depth to the descriptors he gives women, such as "slippery tongues, and are unable to conceal from the fellow-women those things which by evil arts they know," meaning that women gossip. Continuing through the essay, the women is described as an incomplete animal with more sexual needs than a man. The author continues on this thought by saying women are "formed from a bent rib, that is, a rib of the breast, which is bent as it were in a contrary direction to a man." In comparison of even women and mans ribs, they are different which taints the women for not being like her male counterpart.
