In these divided times, it is important that we refrain from personal attacks and overheated rhetoric. So when I say that the Democratic Party is filled with bloodthirsty lunatics, understand that I do not intend it as an insult. It is just a description, and it is the most generous possible description I can muster at this point. In fact, I am doing them a big favor by calling them lunatics. But I believe in seeing the best in people.
To demonstrate the bloodthirsty lunacy of the modern Democratic Party, let's look at the events of just the past few days. Last week, Democrats in New York legalized third trimester abortions, allowing women to abort fully formed, fully viable, healthy infants for any reason. The woman need only claim that her "health" — which includes emotional and mental health — is in jeopardy, and she can have her infant child, who can survive outside the womb and has to be delivered anyway, killed via lethal injection to the skull.
Not to be outdone, Democrats in Virginia are now pushing for their own third trimester abortion law. A Democratic House Delegate defended the law at a committee hearing. During that discussion, she clarified that the law would allow a woman to abort her child up to, and even during, labor. In other words, if the baby is mere minutes from coming out alive and healthy, it can still be killed by lethal injection and then tossed into a medical waste dumpster.
Rhode Island Democrats have joined the race to Hell. At the moment, they might be in the lead. The bill they proposed, and that the "Catholic" governor of the state has pledged to sign, would legalize all abortions, at any stage, for any reason, and would overturn the state's partial-birth abortion ban. For those unfamiliar, partial-birth abortion involves delivering a healthy child alive and then killing it as it emerges from the mother's womb. With half of the child's body hanging out of the birth canal, a vacuum hose is inserted into his skull and his brains are sucked out. Now, there is still a federal ban on this form of savagery, so Rhode Island Democrats will not be able to fulfill their dream of debraining infants, but they have lent their moral support to the practice.
But the story doesn't end here. Democrats in Alaska, Colorado, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington D.C. have already legalized third trimester abortions. Support for late-term abortion is not a fringe position that only a few soulless maniacs in the party hold. It is a mainstream position that a great many soulless maniacs in the party hold. It's no wonder that the Democrats who have so far announced their intention to run for president are all pro-abortion radicals. Pro-abortion radicalism is required for membership.
Indeed, Kamala Harris, who might at the moment be considered the frontrunner for the Democrats' presidential nomination, is a lifelong minion of the abortion industry. As Attorney General of California, she sent law enforcement to ransack the home of the undercover journalist who exposed Planned Parenthood's sale of aborted baby parts. Harris had a message on her website urging supporters to "defend Planned Parenthood" even as she led the legal charge against the abortion company's enemies. In saner times, this would be considered a serious political scandal. But to most Democrats, her abuse of power is a badge of honor. It was all for the sake of protecting baby killers, and Democrats love baby killers.
UPDATE: After this piece had gone to publication, and as if to prove my point, the Democratic governor of Virginia openly advocated infanticide in a radio interview. He explained that the abortion law, which he supports, would allow a woman to deliver her child then decide if the child will be "resuscitated." Even after resuscitation, she can have a "discussion" with her doctors about the next step. The obvious implication is that the next step might include killing the child. This, again, would happen after he is already born. I don't know if the Virginia law actually would legalize infanticide, but the governor of the state seems to think and hope it does.

Faribault Foods issues recall over compromised seals on beans
Faribault Foods Inc. is recalling certain cans of S&W Organic Black Beans and Chili Beans sold at Costco stores because the cans may have compromised seals that could lead to botulism poisoning.
The compromised hermetic seal may affect can integrity and may cause the cans to leak, bloat or allow bacteria, such as Clostridium botulinum, to grow inside the product which could lead to serious illness
The recalled products were distributed to retail stores across the nation.
The recall was initiated after the firm had received consumer and customer complaints regarding the failure of the hermetic seal.
Consumers should check their homes because of the long shelf life of the beans, which do not expire until 2023.
To identify recalled products consumers should look for the following label information:
Product Lot Number Distribution Dates
S&W Organic Black Beans, 15 oz. Best By JAN 31 2023 1329A 032 21 February 2021-April 2021
S&W Organic Black Beans, 15 oz. Best By FEB 01 2023 1329A 033 21 February 2021-April 2021
O Organic Organic Black Beans, 15 oz. Best By FEB 03 2023 981A 035 21 February 2021-April 2021
O Organic Organic Chili Beans, 15 oz. Best By FEB 04 2023 978A 036 21 February 2021-April 2021
Consumers who may have purchased the recalled products should return them to the store where they were purchased for a refund or replacement.
About botulism poisoning
While a variety of illnesses can result from eating under-processed food, one of the most dangerous is botulism poisoning. Untreated, botulism can paralyze the muscles needed for breathing, resulting in sudden death.
Anyone who has developed signs of botulism poisoning should immediately seek medical attention, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
"In foodborne botulism, symptoms generally begin 18 to 36 hours after eating contaminated food. However, symptoms can begin as soon as 6 hours after or up to 10 days later," according to the CDC website.
The symptoms of botulism may include some or all of the following: double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, difficulty breathing, a thick-feeling tongue, dry mouth, and muscle weakness. People with botulism poisoning may not show all of these symptoms at once.
These symptoms result from muscle paralysis caused by the toxin. If untreated, the disease may progress, and symptoms may worsen to cause paralysis of specific muscles, including those used in breathing and those in the arms, legs, and the body from the neck to the pelvis area.

It has been the tradition of St. Thomas and the Diocese of Kansas that when a youth is entering 8th grade in school, it is time to consider taking part in the sacrament of Confirmation. Before committing to the sacrament of Confirmation, St. Thomas youth program provides classes to better understand this sacrament and the sacrament of our Baptism. We also learn more about our church's history, structure and scripture.
Our classes will meet weekly for a number of weeks. In our Confirmation class we take most of our material for the book My Faith, My Life, by Jennifer Gamber. This is a great program that covers many topics for teenagers to discuss related to faith and allows for many guest speakers and trips all aimed at deepening one's sense of their relationship with God.
If you or a youth you know who is entering or close to 8th grade that would like to participate, please contact the Rev. Kelly Demo by calling the church at (913) 451-0512 or kdemo@stthomasop.org.


True reform can only occur when The Holy Book of Mormon is used as THE STANDARD along with The Holy Bible by which all Mormon doctrines are measured and retained; or removed.
We suggest the Church form a Working Group that will compile a list of doctrines not in line with The Holy Book of Mormon and Holy Bible who will then propose a Plan of Implementation for having them removed and submitted to a Committee of the Brethren.
It is further suggested that a committee of qualified historians meet to write new Church History curriculum that recognizes where the forks in the road occurred, who caused them, who attempted to prevent them, and what Joseph's original call was, etc. Historical events like the "Missouri War" and destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor press should be revisited and explained from a true cause perspective, etc.
After reforms are complete, the Church will find acceptance among Christians with greater opportunities for sharing the Good News from The Holy Book of Mormon with Jews and Christians. Other churches will no longer feel threatened that missionaries are coming to "steal" their members away. The Church could become the leading missionary force of Christ's Good News throughout the earth and fulfill its role in uniting all people in love, not religion.

Q: How to wrap echo div in  I'm running into two problems transferring a Wordpress archive page into a page template.
<?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'casestudies', 'posts_per_page' => 12 );
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();

echo '
'.get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, '180,180' ).'
';

First I need to wrap the echo for the thumbnail with a link in order to trigger a css action:
'';

When I add that a href line it only prints the link, and doesn't wrap the echo.
The a href should then print the title and excerpt over the thumbnail box:
 '
<?php the_title(); ?>
';
 '
<?php echo get_post($post_id)->post_excerpt; ?>
';

endwhile; ?>

A: In wordpress, you have two type types of functions.  One's that return the results, and one's that echo the results.
You are using the_permalink(); which is already echoing out it's result.
You need to be using get_the_permalink(); since you are trying to echo it in your template.

A: get_permalink worked for that a href, thank you, but how can I get php the_title() and php echo get_post($post_id)->post_excerpt to show up on the cursor hover?
This code should be working if you are in the loop
<a href="#" title="<?php echo get_the_title() . ' - ' . get_the_excerpt(); ?>">LINK

The method get in WordPress will give you the string only.

coming out (thing)
See all of coming out, there are 3 more in this node.
(thing) by Jennifer Mon Mar 05 2001 at 21:04:54
I attended my coming out party in 1999.
No, I'm not gay. Rather, in Southern Pennsylvania we still do that whole debutante thing.
The modern-day prom held at the end of high school was originally started so that middle class girls could also participate in this ritual.
The figure of the debutante originated in Europe during the 1700's, when young women were introduced to court gentlemen, ladies, and the monarch. The purpose of this was the coming of age-- transformation of a girl to woman, letting others know that the woman was now eligible for marriage.
This sociological phenomenon is mostly based on biology and the instinct to find the 'best' possible mate to carry on one's genes. It's found mostly in advanced, higly stratified societies such as the ones found in Europe or Asia, where both men and women have status to confer on the other upon marriage.
Though now, it's just a huge money bath.
Tradition says that a girl should be escorted by two men-- one civilian and one military (usually a cadet from a military preparatory school). It's hard enough to get guys to come to these things as it is-- so nobody really does this anymore.
There are two types of debutante parties, both traditionally a dinner ball. Earlier, such as in the 50's to 70's, it was appropriate to throw a small luncheon or tea, but with the advent of 80's excess, the dinner ball became another vehicle for conspicuous consumption. The mass coming out is often an event to show off to other families, and it takes some of the pressure off of the debutante. The most presitigous is the International Ball, held each year in New York and Vienna, which allows the girl to come out not only in American society but European society as well. The other is the private debut favored by snobs in Boston and Philadelphia, who view public parties in poor taste.
The public parties are usually done for benefit of a charitable organization or part of an 'Assembly' like in Philadelphia, and can cost thousands of dollars a plate-- private parties can run much, much, higher.
However, nobody really cares anymore.

Q: How can I maintain a C# process open? I wrote this:
class Script
{
    [STAThread]
    static public void Main(string[] args)
    {
        SpeechRecognitionEngine _recognizer = new SpeechRecognitionEngine();
        // I do many thinks with this _recognizer
    }
}

My applications starts and stops immediately. What should I do to so that my application remains open and responsive to my _recognizer ? I don't want to write a Windows form or console application. I would like to keep my voice recognizer as background application.

A: Is this a Console Application, I do suppose..
Console.Readline();

will wait user to type enter, and then exit.

UPDATE
Look at this thread Developing a simple Windows system tray desktop app to consume a .NET web service.
Maybe this is similar to your needs.

A: When the main-method returns, the application gets closed, yes. In that event, all background-threads are aborted. What remains are foreground-threads. They keep the process alive. That's what the Message Loop does.
So, you must have any kind of loop in a foreground-thread (either in the main-method or any newly created thread with the IsBackground-property set to false).
That could look like:
SpeechRecognitionEngine _recognizer = new SpeechRecognitionEngine();
while (_recognizer.IsActive) // or something similar
{
    Thread.Sleep(100);
}

That is fairly not a beauty, since it wastes resources and makes usage of Thread.Sleep. When SpeechRecognitionEngine has an event when it likes to quit, you could have something like:
ManualResetEvent reset = new ManualResetEvent(false);
SpeechRecognitionEngine _recognizer = new SpeechRecognitionEngine();
_recognizer.Quitting += new EventHandler((sender, args) =>
{
    reset.Set();
});
reset.WaitOne();

The ManualResetEvent allows you to wait for the Quitting-event. After Set was called, WaitOne returns and your application/process ends.

A: You should write
class Script
{
    [STAThread]
    static public void Main(string[] args)
    {
        _completed = new ManualResetEvent(false);
        SpeechRecognitionEngine _recognizer = new SpeechRecognitionEngine();
        // I do many thinks with this _recognizer
        // Add an exit event that should call _completed.Set();
        _completed.WaitOne();
    }
}

implementation and tutorial found here
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    _completed = new ManualResetEvent(false);
    SpeechRecognitionEngine _recognizer = new SpeechRecognitionEngine();
    _recognizer.LoadGrammar(new Grammar(new GrammarBuilder("test")) Name = { "testGrammar" }); // load a grammar
    _recognizer.LoadGrammar(new Grammar(new GrammarBuilder("exit")) Name = { "exitGrammar" }); // load a "exit" grammar
    _recognizer.SpeechRecognized += _recognizer_SpeechRecognized;
    _recognizer.SetInputToDefaultAudioDevice(); // set the input of the speech recognizer to the default audio device
    _recognizer.RecognizeAsync(RecognizeMode.Multiple); // recognize speech asynchronous
    _completed.WaitOne(); // wait until speech recognition is completed
    _recognizer.Dispose(); // dispose the speech recognition engine
}

void _recognizer_SpeechRecognized(object sender, SpeechRecognizedEventArgs e)
{
     if (e.Result.Text == "test") // e.Result.Text contains the recognized text
     {
         Console.WriteLine("The test was successful!");
     }
     else if (e.Result.Text == "exit")
     {
         _completed.Set();
     }
}

A: Maybe You want a Windows Service to run? You can check out it here.
In the
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
    eventLog1.WriteEntry("my service started");
}

part of the tutorial You can insert the SpeechRecognitionEngine _recognizer = new SpeechRecognitionEngine(); code inside. I assume that will listen to some events. You set the callbacks for those events also here.
When You fully close the application You take care of the _recognizer here:
protected override void OnStop()
{
    eventLog1.WriteEntry("my service stoped");
}

Where I cannot say what the exact origin it, I can confirm that Joan did not invent it, nor do I think her family did; though, she may have popularized it and capitalized upon it for marketing purposes. The Golden Birthday is something that is celebrated in many parts of the world, not just America. For instance, it is a long standing tradition in the country of Georgia.

A new study comes to a very surprising conclusion about what it takes to make yourself more attractive.
Want to know the secret to seduction? Scientists think they have the answer — and it's as simple as standing next to an ugly friend. If you're looking to hook up, it pays to hang out with people who are less attractive or less interesting than you, although that would certainly be a pretty cynical reason to keep a friend around.
Scientists from Royal Holloway at the University of London came to their conclusion by asking volunteers to rate pictures on how attractive the person in them was. They then asked them to rate the same faces alongside faces that were uglier, and noticed that the original faces immediately became more attractive in the eyes of the respondents, according to a Royal Holloway statement.
It shows that while we may be obsessed with attractiveness and beauty as a culture, our ideas about beauty are not static.

Mysterious Encounters and an Alien Contactee in Mexico…..
By : Brett Swancer ……
For decades there have been those certain individuals who seem to draw UFO phenomena and alien encounters to them. Called "Contactees," these people, for whatever reasons, seem to have such high strangeness gravitate towards them, their stories running the range from odd to downright bonkers. Some of these reports stand out as even more unusual and others, and some even manage to gather photographic evidence, with one notable such case being that of a photographer in Mexico who one evening would have a bizarre encounter that would mark the beginning of a weird relationship with supposed alien entities.
In January of 1981, photographer Carlos Diaz was on assignment for a magazine and on his way to meet a journalist at Ajusco Park, near Mexico City, Mexico. Diaz arrived quite a bit early, and so parked his car and waited for his contact to arrive. The minutes ticked by, the journalist did not arrive, and the impatient Diaz stared out the window wondering when they would arrive. It was then that he noticed a bright orange, oval-shaped object emerge from a nearby valley, which then approached his car to hover over him nearby. Considering that he had set up all of his camera equipment, the quick-thinking Diaz was in a perfect position to start snapping pics of the surreal sight before him, but as he took his photos his car began to shudder and shake, to the point that the vehicle was spasming and jumping wildly and violently. Diaz exited the car and allegedly still kept snapping photos as the mysterious object shot straight up into the sky to disappear. The startled photographer was at a loss as to what he had seen, wondering if any of the photos he had taken would actually turn out, and at the time he had no way of knowing that his strange experiences were far from over.
Diaz would become obsessed with what he had seen in the sky that morning, turning it over in his head again and again and returning to the same spot on numerous occasions in the hopes of seeing it again, mostly without success, but this would change in March of that year. On this day it was apparently foggy and rainy, and Diaz had little hope that he would find anything, but then he would notice a yellow glow from the valley, and creep closer. Once again, the bright orange object appeared and began hovering nearby, and this time Diaz was able to see more details of its appearance. He would describe it as "dome-shaped with a smooth ring in its center," and "covered with a number of half spheres, each around one meter in diameter." As he stared on in astonishment, Diaz claims he felt a sensation as if someone had grabbed him from behind, after which he lost consciousness. When he awoke, he found that his clothes were completely dry, despite the fact that they had been soaked with rain earlier, and the mysterious UFO was gone.
Dazed and confused, Diaz went back to his car, and this was where he would notice another car parked nearby, from which walked a tall, blonde stranger who allegedly told him to come back the following day if he wanted to learn more. Overcome by curiosity, he went back as instructed, to find the same blonde individual sitting there waiting for him. This mysterious figure then admitted to Diaz that it was he who had grabbed him by the shoulder, and that he was in fact the one piloting the UFO. This enigmatic stranger would not divulge anymore, only to say that Diaz would slowly regain his memory of what had happened, and that it would change his life forever. That seemed to be the end of the meeting, the blonde stranger stalking off into the woods to leave Diaz there alone and afraid.
Over the next several months, bits and pieces of what had happened after his shoulder had been grabbed would come back to him, until it formed a full picture in his mind. He would claim that the UFO had come to within touching distance, and that he had passed through its surface to seemingly merge with it, after which he had seen a cave, of which he says "'It was full of stalagmites, some of which were carved into what appeared to be Mayan sculptures. I saw many people in the cave, some of whom waved to me and, in a state of shock, I waved back." Then the blonde humanoid entity had appeared beside him to guide him to another cave that supposedly "contained seven glowing, egg-shaped orbs." The being told Diaz to enter one of these orbs, and things would get even more surreal still when he found himself within some sort of forest, of which he would say:
"I could see all the details of the forest as if I was walking through it. I couldn't touch anything, but I could feel the temperature and moisture. I could see and experience everything, yet I wasn't physically there."
He was then brought back into the original cave and brought back to his car, after which the being told him that he had received some mysterious knowledge and then left. After this, Diaz would claim to be frequently contacted by these entities, and that he would step into these orbs on numerous occasions, traveling all over the earth through them and even through time, being taught by the aliens that everything was interconnected, and that his mission was to help the ecology of the earth. German author Michael Hesemann, who interviewed Diaz, would give more information on these meetings, saying:
"Not only is he contacting these beings through encounters on the ships, but he claims to be meeting these beings socially, since he believes some of them are living among us. Apparently, they explained that they have been visiting Earth for thousands of years, and are particularly interested in our evolution which, compared to their own, has happened at a much faster rate. They are trying to learn why."
As the story of Diaz's alien encounters got out into the news, the photos he had taken of the alleged UFO would come under scrutiny, with many Mexican ufologists touting them as among the clearest they had ever seen and several analyses supposedly coming to the conclusion that they were genuine at the time. One professor Victor Quesada at the Polytechnical Institute of the University of Mexico supposedly analyzed the photos and said of them:
"We were shocked to discover that the spectrum of light from the object was unlike anything we have ever seen, it broke all previous parameters and didn't match anything in our data banks. The light was extraordinarily intense. There was no evidence of superimposition or a hoax. We estimated the object to be around 30 to 50 meters in diameter."
These photos were also apparently studied by other experts, including even Dr Robert Nathan at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, who allegedly concluded that they were genuine. Diaz would later even allegedly take video footage of the UFOs, which have gone on to be picked apart and are generally controversial. In the meantime, there was much said about Diaz's reliability, and that he seemed to be a particularly lucid and believable witness to the events he was describing. One UFO researcher and Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, John Mack, has said of Diaz:
"Out of all the experiencers I have worked with, it is Carlos Diaz who seems to have developed the richest understanding of the interconnected web of nature. Diaz's experience of connecting with living creatures is so intense that he seems literally to become the thing he is describing. The Carlos Diaz case is the most important case of documented alien-human contact to have emerged in modern times."
Diaz has continued to insist on the reality of his photos and his experiences, calling himself a "messenger" working to save the earth from the imminent destruction the aliens have told us will befall us if we don't change our ways. It is all a very weird case, largely unknown outside of Mexico and Spanish-speaking sites, but it does go to show that the contactee phenomenon can get pretty weird, indeed. Whatever one makes of this case, it is all certainly strange at the very least.

Alberta may use Sovereignty Act to oppose Trudeau EV mandate
Rachel Emmanuel
The Alberta government is considering ways to push back on the Liberals' "absurd" electric vehicle mandate, including employing the province's new Sovereignty Act for the first time.
On Wednesday, Liberal Minister Environment Steven Guilbeault announced that every major passenger vehicle sold in Canada must be electric by 2035.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's office says the mandate is a clear violation of Alberta's right to freely regulate its economy.
"Our Cabinet and Caucus will discuss this issue and what tools we will consider using to push back on this absurd federal policy, including potential use of the Alberta Sovereignty within a United Canada Act," the premier's office said in a statement to True North.
The premier's office also said the announcement is "exceptionally tone-deaf" as Albertans and Canadians struggle with inflation.
"Not only will this Ottawa edict cost taxpayers and ratepayers tens of billions for needed grid upgrades, it will drive up the costs of purchasing vehicles, and erode Albertan's freedom to choose what vehicle they need to meet their and their family's needs."
The legislation would add requirements to car manufacturers and importers to meet annual sales targets beginning with the 2026 model year, meaning 20% of vehicle sales must be electric.
By 2030, that target will grow to 60% of all sales, until 2035 when all vehicles sold will be required to be electric.
Per the regulations, manufacturers or importers who don't meet the sales targets could face penalties under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. Penalties under the act range from a fine $15,000 to imprisonment for up to three years for first offences.
Smith's Sovereignty Act legislation passed the Alberta legislature earlier this month, just ten days after being tabled.
The government says Bill 1 allows the province "to stand up to federal government overreach and interference in areas of provincial jurisdiction, including… private property, natural resources, agriculture, firearms, regulation of the economy and delivery of health, education and other social programs."
The bill lays out a legislative framework for Alberta to formally defend its provincial jurisdiction while respecting Indigenous and treaty rights, Canada's Constitution and the courts.
When it was introduced, Smith said she hopes the province will "never have to use this bill."
"It begins the conversation with Ottawa so that they do not continue to pass aggressive policy targeted specifically at our industry and specifically at our development of our natural resources," she said.

The pumpkin, along with other squashes, is native to Americas. The stems, seeds, and parts of the fruit of the pumpkin have been found in the ruins of the ancient cliff dwellings in the southwestern part of the United States. Other discoveries in these ruins indicate that the pumpkin may even have been grown by the "basket makers", whose civilization precedes that of the cliff dwellers, and who were probably the first agriculturists in North America.
Present varieties of pumpkin have been traced back to the days of Indian tribes. One variety, the Cushaw, was being grown by the Indians in 1586.
Botanically, a pumpkin is a squash. The popular term pumpkin has become a symbol, or tradition, at Halloween and Thanksgiving. The tradition dates as far back as the first colonial settlers.
Pumpkin can be served as a boiled or baked vegetable and as a filling for pies or in custards. It also makes a good ingredient for cornbread.
Pumpkins are grown throughout the United States and are used in or near the producing area. They are classed as stock feed and pie types, some serving both purposes. The principal producers are Indiana, Illinois, New Jersey, Maryland, Iowa, and California. They may be found in stores from late August to March, the peak months being October through December.
Pumpkins of quality should be heavy for their size and free of blemishes, with a hard rind. Watch for decay if the flesh has been bruised or otherwise injured. Decay may appear as a water-soaked area, sometimes covered with a dark, mold-like growth.
THERAPEUTIC VALUE
Pumpkins are very high in potassium and sodium and have a moderately low carbohydrate content. They are alkaline in reaction and are affair source of vitamins Band C. Pumpkins are good in soft diets.
Pumpkin can be used in pudding or it can be liquefied. One of the best ways to serve pumpkin is to bake it. Pumpkin seeds and onions mixed together with a little soy milk make a great remedy for parasitic worms in the digestive tract. To make this remedy, liquefy three tablespoons of pumpkin seeds that have been soaked for three hours, one-half of a small onion, one half cupsoy milk, and one teaspoon of honey. Take this amount three times daily, three days in a row.

The beet has been cultivated for its roots and leaves since the third or fourth century B.C. It spread from the area of the Mediterranean to the Near East. In ancient times it was used only for medicinal purposes-the edible beet root we know today was unknown before the Christian era. In the fourth century beet recipes were recorded in England, and in 1810 the beet began to be cultivated for sugar in France and Germany. It is not known when the beet was first introduced to the United States, but it is known that there was one variety grown here in 1806. Sugar beets are usually yellowish-white, and are cultivated extensively in this country. The garden beet ranges from dark purplish-red to a bright vermillion to white, but the most popular commercial variety is red.
Beets are available in the markets all year. Their peak season is May through October. They are primarily grown in the southern United States, the Northeast, and the vest coast states. When selecting beets, do not just look at the condition of the leaves. Beets that remain to the ground too long become tough and woody, and can be identified by a short neck, deep scars, or several circles of leaf scars around the top of the beet.
Beets are wonderful for adding needed minerals. They can be used to eliminate pocket add material in the bowel and for ailments in the gall bladder and liver. Their vitamin A content is quite high, so they are not only good for the eliminative system, but also benefit the digestive and lymphatic systems.

Chicory is closely related to endive. There are many varieties to chicory. They include green chicory, which is leafy; and radicchio, also a root chicory, which is red and white. Chicory is best when tossed in salad with other vegetables.
Green chicory is cultivated primarily in Europe, although varieties grow wild in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Unite States. Belgium endive is primarily cultivated in Belgium and is prized for its delicate flavor. Radicchio is native to Italy and primarily grows there.
Radicchio is often sold with the root attached. If possible the root should be eaten because it is very good.
When selecting chicory, look for a fresh, crisp, green vegetable. Belgium endive, which looks like a tightly wrapped stalk, should be white or near white. Radicchio should be crisp and fresh.
Chicory is an alkaline food that is good in elimination diets. It is high in vitamin C.
Tea made from chicory roots and used as an enema is a wonderful remedy for increasing peristaltic action and getting the liver to work.

One of the first things a child learns is the alphabet, and almost always, "A is for apple". The apple has been around for so long that it can be called the first fruit. Hieroglyphic writings found in: the pyramids and tombs of the ancient Egyptians indicate that they used the apple as both a food and a medicine. It not only has been at the beginning of alphabet songs, but has been the center of legends, folklore, and even religion, for thousands of. years, from Adam and Eve to Johnny Appleseed.
The people of the United States love apples. The state of Washington produces 32,000,000 boxes of apples a year. Washington's orchards supposedly began from a single tree that was planted in 1827 from a seed given to Captain Simpson of the Hudson Bay Company by a young woman from London. That tree is still standing!
Years ago, apples were used to relieve gout, bilious constitutions, skin eruptions, and nerves. They are so popular around the world that they have all kinds of superstitions and traditions at· tached to them. The peasants of Westphalia used apples mixed with saffron as a cure for jaundice. There is also a legend in Devonshire, England, that an apple rubbed on a wart will cure it. On Easter morning, peasants in a province of Prussia ate an apple to insure against fever. The Turks gave the apple the power of restoring youth.
There are so many varieties of apples that almost ai1YOne can find an apple to suit his palate. Since there are summer, winter, and fall varieties, apples can be had fresh all year around.
Today, doctors use apple therapy for stubborn cases of diarrhea in patients of all ages, including babies. Raw apple is scraped in very fine slices or used in a specially prepared concentrate. This treatment is often used for what is called the "lazy colon," and is also good for babies who are ready to begin a solid diet. Because so many of the essential vitamins and minerals in apples contain a predigested form of fruit sugar, it is an ideal fruit for infants and invalids.
When you cook apples, be sure to do so over a very low flame. It is best ·to cook them in a stainless steel utensil, so that the delicate pectin, vitamins, and minerals will be preserved as much as possible. Apples, of course, are best raw and are good in various kinds of salads.
Apples are an alkaline food. They are also an eliminative food, and contain pectin, which has the ability to take up excess water in the intestines and make a soft bulk that acts as a mild, nonirritating stimulant. This stimulant helps the peristaltic movement and aids in natural bowel elimination.
The iron content of the apple is not high, but it has a property that helps the body absorb the iron in other foods, such as eggs and liver. It does contain a generous amount of calcium, and this calcium aids the system in absorbing the calcium in other foods.
Apples contain 50 percent more vitamin A than oranges. This vitamin helps ward off colds and other infections and promotes growth. It also keeps the eyes in good condition, and prevents night blindness.
Apples have an abundant supply of vitamins. They contain more vitamin G than almost any other fruit. This is called the "appetite vitamin," and promotes digestion and growth. They are rich in vitamin C, which is a body normalizer and is essential in keeping bones and teeth sound. The vitamin that is so important in maintaining nerve health, vitamin B, is also found in apples.
Apples are good for low blood pressure and hardening of the arteries because they are powerful blood purifiers. They also benefit the lymphatic system.
The juice of apples is good for everyone. It can be used in a cleansing and reducing diet, but speeds up bowel action, and can produce gas if bowels are not moving well. Apple juice or concentrate added to water makes a solution that heals bowel irritation when given as an enema.
Raw apples should be used for homemade apple juice, which should be consumed immediately after preparation. Save the peelings for health tea, which is excellent for the kidneys. This tea is simply made from steeped apple peelings. It is especially tasty when a little honey has been added to it.

In case you are limited by house in entrance of the toilet, consider a round bowl; in any other case use an elongated bowl. Can you take away the linen closet and use that house in a different means? The simplest way so as to add some zest to your bath is to install dimmers on the lights, my favorite being the Lutron Maestro. How a lot entry is there to the plumbing and electricity and HVAC?

This book has been expanded and split into two books: The ToneWay Music Method and the Family Tradition Songbook. Check 'em out!
This book is an ultra-concise, comprehensive resource for playing by ear. It is ideal for folks who play a string instrument already, even if minimally, and wish to learn how to play it by ear. Interestingly, folks with less musical talent tend to do much better when they switch from sight playing to playing by ear. For folks already playing by ear, the ToneWay Method can deepen their understanding—the "what, how, and why" of it all. Such understanding allows one to easily and quickly pick up and play any of the other string instruments as well.
Briefly, the ToneWay Method demystifies music by showing how all the string instruments, and singing, share fundamental principles. Our ToneWay Picking Patterns and ToneWay Notation help to tie it all together and launch you into a more intuitive 'playing by ear' approach to music. Finally, the book offers a lifetime supply (300+) of commonly-played traditional songs. Each song is annotated with key-independent chord changes, 'jammability', and tonal information useful for playing by ear and for singing lead and harmony.
We have expanded this book and split it into two: The ToneWay Music Method and the Family Tradition Songbook.

Louisiana televangelist Jesse Duplantis wants donations to purchase a $54 million private jet so he can spread the gospel around the world. USA TODAY
Falcon 7X Business Jet on the Ramp.(Photo: JamesReillyWilson, Getty Images/iStockphoto)
Jesse Duplantis, a televangelist with viewers across the globe, says God told him he needs a new jet.
Specifically, God told Duplantis he needs a Dassault Falcon 7X, a three-engine private jet capable of carrying 12 to 16 passengers at speeds up to 700 miles per hour. The Falcon 7X, which would be the fourth plane owned by Jesse Duplantis Ministries, has a range of almost 6,000 miles and costs about $54 million new, according to SherpaReport (although used ones are listed online for as little as $20 million).
"Now, some people believe that preachers shouldn't have jets," Duplantis said in a video posted last week. "I really believe that preachers ought to ... have every available outlet to get this Gospel preached to the world."
In fact, Duplantis said that "if Jesus was physically on the Earth today, he wouldn't be riding a donkey."
"He'd be in an airplane preaching the Gospel all over the world," he said.

Duplantis said God told him he needed the plane "in one of the 'greatest statements the Lord ever told me.'"
"He said, 'Jesse, you wanna come up where I'm at?'" according to Duplantis.
"And I said, 'What do you mean?'"
"He said, 'I want you to believe in me for a Falcon 7-X."
"So, I said, 'OK.' But the first thing I thought of: 'Well, how am I going to pay for it?'"
More: Minister asks congregation for $65 million luxury jet
Duplantis said he then recalled something God told him in 1978. "'Jesse, I didn't ask you to pay for it, I asked to believe for it.'"
The preacher explained that he was interested in full transparency.
"I like all people to know exactly what I'm doing in this ministry," Duplantis said. "We don't hide nothing whatsoever at all."
Duplantis explained that he wouldn't personally own the plane. Rather, the plane would be owned by the ministry and would be used by the next person to take it over after his death.
God instructed Duplantis to "preach the Gospel to every creature," he explained.
"Now how we gonna do that?" he asked. "I can't live long enough to travel by car, or by ship, or by train, but I can do it by an airplane."
"All it's gonna do is touch people," Duplantis said of the plane. "It's gonna reach people. It's gonna change lives, one soul at a time. I don't want to learn how to fly it, I'm not interested in that. I'm interested in preaching the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ."
He showed off a photo of the three planes currently owned by his ministry, bearing the caption, "It's not about possessions, it's about priorities."
Duplantis also said he was excited about the U.S. moving its Israeli embassy to Jerusalem. He said that tells him that the end time is "coming fast ladies and gentlemen."
In 2015, Duplantis appeared in a video with fellow televangelist Kenneth Copeland where they defended their need for private jets.
Copeland explained that because they are famous, they would have people coming up to them and asking for prayers.
"You can't manage that today," Copeland said. "This dope-filled world, and get in a long tube with a bunch of demons. And it's deadly."
"And it works on your heart," Duplantis agreed. "It really does."

At the same time, it is helpful to determine a general style of the ring and cut of the center stone. Great ideas can be found looking through auction catalogues and visiting websites that cater to estate jewelry. With a good idea of style and budget, a bridal specialist will be able to better assist the purchaser with choosing the perfect ring.
HB: Is it best to find a setting you like and bring your own diamond?
TB: When buying vintage estate jewelry it is always best to buy a ring that is original in all its parts. That is part of its beauty. Sometimes, however, a diamond has been handed down for generations and it can be very sentimental to create a beautiful ring by matching an older-cut stone to a vintage setting. I do not recommend pairing a modern-cut stone to a vintage setting as the ring could lose much of its charm and beauty.
HB: Does changing the setting of an estate piece at all de-value it?
TB: It depends, in most cases the mounting — whether it be vintage or contemporary—makes up for only a small amount of the actual dollar value of the ring. Like any vintage object, however, it does lose some value when it no longer remains in its original state.
HB: What are the cons of estate pieces? Pros?
TB: The main downside of buying is an estate piece maybe issues with condition. A ring that is 50 or 100 years old may have seen considerable wear which may now affect its durability and appeal. As long as you have a well-educated and reliable specialist assisting you one can easily find an estate jewel that is in very good condition. The benefits are too many to list. The type of estate ring chosen says a lot about a couple's taste and values. An estate ring can symbolize the uniqueness and sincerity of a couple's love for each other while also being a standout from other engagement rings among their contemporaries.
HB: What's the best way to make sure you're getting a legitimate piece?
TB: Work with a reputable and established jeweler or auction house. Engagement ring shoppers love to visit us at Christie's as they not only get expert advice, but they get a great variety of estate rings from which to choose—many of them with great stories attached.
HB: Is the price generally higher than a new diamond of the same size?
TB: Price is always relative and mostly depends on the size and quality of the diamond, regardless of whether it is a diamond that was cut 100 years ago or one that was cut in recent years. Cutting techniques have been perfected over the years to maximize a diamond's fire and brilliance, which may result in a higher price. On the other hand, older cuts such as an antique cushion-cut or pear-shaped are highly sought after and can bring a greater price than a similar modern cut stone.
HB: What can a buyer expect of diamond quality?
TB: What a buyer can expect is really a function of their budget along with the size and quality for which they are looking. For some people size is the most important criteria, in which case they may sacrifice some quality to obtain the larger size. Others may prefer a higher quality stone in a smaller size in a price within their budget.
HB: What are some of the popular eras in estate jewelry now?
TB: People love the delicate micropave work in settings from the early 20th Century, as well as more geometric designs from the 1930s and even more bold settings in yellow gold and colored stones from the 1960s and 70s.
HB: What should buyers be wary of?
TB: Buyers have to make sure they are getting exactly what they pay for. In other words, diamonds and other precious gemstones are a big investment and they are priced based on size and overall quality. Make sure the center stone is accompanied by a gemological report which accounts for the technical qualitative details of the stone.
HB: We can't all get Elizabeth Taylor's jewelry, but can someone know the progeny of their ring?
TB: Many times in our auction catalogues a ring will be designated in some fashion, such as Property of a Prominent New York Family or if the owner is a known figure it may be designated under their name. Part of the intrigue when purchasing estate jewelry is not knowing the exact story behind the jewel but to imagine all the great stories and travels it has been on over the years.

Launched over two decades ago, Brownbook is a Dubai based bi-monthly publication dedicated to exploring the contemporary Middle East and North Africa – focusing on design, travel and other culture– from the music of Kuwaiti pearl divers to the Iranian diaspora of Los Angeles.
This issue of Brownbook is a magazine within a magazine; an in-depth exploration of one of the finest cultural publications of the Middle East – The AramcoWorld Magazine and the legacy it has built. From the carpenters of Dehran in 1960 to the first Arab in space in 1986 – BrownBook's latest issue features a carefully curated selection of archives retracing AramcoWorld's 68 years of publishing, alongside interviews from its editors and veteran contributors.
Also in the issue: a paleontologist putting Sahara on the archeological map with a discovery larger than T-rex, an interview discussing the golden age of Tehran's art scene and a look at megacity Cairo.
