Going to the beach is surely exciting. But there are things that you need to prepare for like the sun, the sand, and the shore. So better pack these beach essentials up to ensure a great swim and more.
Most activities at the beach are done outdoors and during the day. This means that you'll be exposed to the sun's harmful rays for a long period of time. Thus, it is a must to have these products: lotion with SPF, lip balm with SPF, sun glasses, hat, and umbrella. For maximum protection, reapply the lotion and lip balm after every two hours.
What you're bringing should reflect what you're going to do in the place you're heading to. For example, you are to attend a beach wedding or a luau. You'd be required to bring a beach dress then. But if it's just a typical leisurely trip, here are the must-haves: swim suit, cover up, and extra clothes. Plus, make sure that you bring a container, like plastic bags, in case you need to take home some wet bikini or trunks.
Whether you aim to capture every moment of your excursion or you simply want to beat boredom, electronic gadgets are now important when going on a getaway. Hence, you better get a water-proof (and dust-proof) pouch and put these gizmos in it: phone, camera, music player, and charger.
You should also anticipate that there would be no place to plug your charger in. Therefore, take with you a power bank to guarantee a full battery of fun.
It is not just your electronic devices that would need enough energy to keep up with the party—also you. So have yourself regularly hydrated with water and filled up with at least snack bars and nuts. Bringing your own food and drink not only secures your taste and the health of your tummy, but also lets you save from spending away your pocket money.
After all the strolling and swimming, you will need to be washed and dried up. Stock the following, together with a towel: tooth brush, tooth paste, shampoo, conditioner, soap, and facial cleanser.
You'll never know what can happen in your beach adventure, but you can prepare for the worst scenario by carrying with you some money and medicines. You can also add a first aid kit to be extra prepared.
With all the other things that you wish to fill your beach bag with, it is best to choose them according to form and function. That way, you'll be able to maximize the space in your back pack or hand-carry. In the end, it is all about knowing you have everything you need that makes you enjoy the trip.


In a reversal, Premier Christy Clark announced plans Tuesday to restore direct ferry service from Port Hardy to Bella Coola by the summer of 2018.
The B.C. government scrapped the seasonal route two years ago, prompting widespread criticism from tourism officials on northern Vancouver Island and in the Cariboo-Chilcotin region.
The West Chilcotin Tourism Association later commissioned a study showing that the closing led to a drastic decline in visitors and a loss of $3.9 million in gross tourism revenue in 2014.
Clark said the "new" service will support aboriginal tourism and the mid-coast economy by improving access to the Great Bear Rainforest.
"We want to have it up and running for the 2018 summer tourism season so that all the aboriginal and non-aboriginal businesses on the coast get out there and start selling your tickets," she said.
Claire Trevena, the B.C. NDP's spokeswoman on ferries, said the reversal was a clear admission by Clark that the provincial government should never have closed the route in the first place. "It's a complete U-turn," she said.
Trevena said Clark is manoeuvring in advance of the 2017 election to shore up government support in the Cariboo-Chilcotin riding held by Liberal MLA Donna Barnett.
Tourism operators have hammered the government for shutting the service, which was previously known as Route 40.
They considered it a key leg in the Discovery Coast Circle Tour that visitors follow from Vancouver to Vancouver Island, Port Hardy, Bella Coola, through the Cariboo-Chilcotin and back to Vancouver.
Transportation Minister Todd Stone said at the time that Route 40 lost $7 million in 2013 despite operating for only 13 weeks. It was replaced with a two-vessel journey from Port Hardy to Bella Bella to Bella Coola. The second leg featured a nine-hour trip on the MV Nimpkish, a 16-vehicle ferry that travellers and tourist operators ridiculed for its size and lack of amenities.
Bill Van Es, owner of the Escott Bay Resort in Anahim Lake, said he was "pleasantly surprised" by the government's decision to restore the direct route.
Walt Judas, chief executive officer of the Tourism Industry Association of B.C., credited a coalition of First Nations and tourism groups with pressing the provincial government to reconsider.
The Queen of Chilliwack, which used to make the run, was sold in 2015. Clark said it was the "wrong size" and that its replacement will offer a "very different service" — including the amenities that foreign visitors expect.


EVEN in kitchens where fresh is king, the freezer remains a handy tool. There's no easier way to deal with a bounty of meat from a big-box store or a butchering class or a C.S.A. share, or the haul from a fishing trip, or the unpredictable sighting of partridge and other rare birds in the Chinese market. In my house, the freezer is essential for drawing out the enjoyment of the prime mail-order meats that my mother sends for my birthday, and that arrive rock-hard under a block of dry ice.
Less handy, however, is the thawing process, which often requires planning a day or more ahead of the cooking. Food thaws slowly in the refrigerator, especially when kept in its plastic packaging, which is the method recommended by purveyors and the Department of Agriculture to minimize bacterial growth and the loss of juices. Thawing in cold water, 40 degrees or below, is safe and much faster — water transfers heat far more efficiently than air — but it can still take hours. I've never had much luck with the defrost setting on microwave ovens, which can start to cook one part of the food while the rest is still frozen.
Now there's good news for last-minute cooks. It turns out that we can thaw frozen steaks and other compact cuts in as little as 10 minutes, without compromising their quality, and with very little effort. All you need is hot water.
This information comes, surprisingly, from research sponsored by the Department of Agriculture, though the methods aren't yet officially recommended. The studies have been published in the Journal of Food Science and in Food Control.
At the U.S.D.A. labs in Beltsville, Md., Janet S. Eastridge and Brian C. Bowker test-thawed more than 200 one-inch-thick beef strip loin steaks in three different groups: some in a refrigerator at 37 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit, some in a constantly circulating water bath at 68 degrees, and some in a water bath at 102 degrees.
Air-thawing in the refrigerator took 18 to 20 hours, while the room-temperature water bath thawed the steaks in about 20 minutes, and the hot-summer-day bath in 11 minutes. These water-bath times are so short that any bacterial growth would remain within safe limits.
The water-thawed steaks actually leaked less juice than the air-thawed steaks. The researchers grilled the steaks, too, and found that all the thawed steaks lost about 26 percent of their original weight once cooked, while never-frozen steaks lost 21 percent. The study found no significant differences in tenderness between slow- and quick-thawed steaks.
Eleven minutes is pretty quick, but Brian A. Nummer and colleagues at Utah State University in Logan shaved away another couple of minutes by heating the water bath to 140 degrees, the standard temperature of steam tables in food service kitchens.
The Utah State group found that chicken breasts about a half-inch thick thawed in a little more than 3 minutes, and inch-thick breasts in less than 9 minutes. Although 140-degree water would eventually cook the chicken to medium-rare, they saw no signs of cooking. The quick-thawed breasts did lose slightly more juice than the refrigerator-thawed breasts, but when the chicken was grilled and served, a panel of 18 tasters was unable to tell them apart. And based on their mathematical modeling, the researchers concluded that any bacterial growth would remain well within safe limits.
So there's no downside to quick-thawing steaks, chops, fillets and other relatively thin cuts in warm water right before cooking. Large roasts are a different story. They take long enough to thaw that there may be time for significant bacterial growth on their surfaces. Prompt cooking might well eliminate that problem, but until this has been studied, it's safest to continue thawing roasts in the refrigerator or in water under 40 degrees.
Quick-thawing is easy to adopt in the home kitchen. But don't expect your thaw times to match the lab times I've quoted unless you have an immersion circulator or another method to keep the water in motion and at a constant temperature. If the water is still, a cold zone develops around the food and insulates it from the remaining warm water. And without infusions of hot water or heat from a burner, the icy food cools the water bath.
Unless I'm in a rush, I'm happy to let the thawing proceed more slowly on its own while I take care of other tasks. I fill a large pot with 125-degree water from the tap, immerse the plastic-wrapped meat, weigh it down with a slotted spoon to keep it under water and stir the water occasionally. The water temperature drops, but stays above 100 degrees for a half-hour or so, depending on how much food is thawing.
So when you scan your larder to improvise a quick meal, don't forget to look in the freezer. The makings of the main course may be just minutes away.
In this Wednesday's Curious Cook column I write about using a pot of hot water to thaw steaks, chicken breasts, and fish in minutes, rather than the few hours required in cold water or the many hours in a refrigerator. According to recent research funded by the USDA, rapid thawing can minimize the freeze-thaw damage to meat tissues, and taste panels couldn't tell the difference between meats that had been cooked after gradual or quick thawing.

In my June 30 Curious Cook column, I write about the challenges of genuinely low and slow cooking on home grills, and provide a recipe for reliably moist ribs cooked in the oven, with smokiness provided by pimentón chilli powder.
Many readers have pointed out that simple rib racks help keep more than one slab suitably distant from the hot flames or coals. This is true, and the column would have been better for having included that option.
In Wednesday's Curious Cook column I write about the new wave of fine American hams, cured with salt and eaten uncooked, like Spanish jamón iberico and serrano and Italian prosciutto.
Last month I attended the 5th World Congress of Dry-cured Hams, which was held in the Spanish town of Aracena, near Sevilla. I enjoyed some remarkable jamón there and learned a great deal from producers, scientists, and ham lovers. I'll be writing more about this later on.
In the meantime, if you like ham and haven't read David Arnold's brief and brilliant treatise on the subject, published a couple of years ago in Food Arts, get it here. It's packed with information and beautifully written.
In this week's Curious Cook column I write about how brining produces a moister roast, why I still don't like to brine the Thanksgiving turkey, and how to moisten the turkey breast after cooking it, not before.
My column in today's New York Times food section is about the redness of red meats and how it's maintained in both fresh and cured cuts. Check back for some other interesting findings about meat pigments and nitrites.
Nitrite reacts in the meat tissue to form nitrous oxide, which bonds firmly to the iron in myoglobin and stabilizes it.
"nitrous oxide" should be "nitric oxide."
Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is N2O, and nitric oxide is NO.

My post last August about the weak claim of grass-fed beef to healthful quantities of omega-3 fatty acids has drawn a skeptical response from Robert Buxbaum, who found a contrary view in Michael Pollan's important new book, The Omnivore's Dilemma. I'd like to dissect the discussion a bit, because I think it's a cautionary example of how easily speculations about food and nutrition can stray from the facts, become accepted as fact themselves, and end up being unintentionally misleading.
Good Fats In Grass-Fed Beef?
My friend Daniel Patterson, the chef and owner of Coi in San Francisco, recently told me that some of his meat suppliers have been promoting grass-fed beef as a good source of healthful omega-3 fatty acids, both the linolenic acid found in walnuts and canola oil, and the very long chain fatty acids characteristic of fish oils. Beef, the archetype of foods laden with cholesterol-raising saturated fats, as a health food? I took a fresh look at the numbers.
Sure enough, grass-fed beef has substantially more omega-3 fatty acids than conventional beef raised on grain or a combination of grain and other concentrated nutrients. This makes sense: green grass doesn't have much fat or oil, but its membranes are rich in linolenic acid. When the grass is cut and turned into hay, the linolenic acid tends to be oxidized and converted into other molecules, so hay is a poorer source, and grains contain little or no linolenic acid.
Once it gets into cattle, the grass linolenic acid meets several fates. Much of it is hydrogenated by microbes in the animal's rumen, and turned into more saturated, less valuable fatty acids. Some of it enters intact into the circulation, and ends up being deposited in both muscle and milk. And a small portion of it is converted by the cattle tissues into the longer-chain fatty acids found in abundance in fish.
So is grass-fed beef a meaningful source of omega-3s? No. An entire grass-fed beefsteak contains hundredths of a gram of long-chain omega-3s, and less than a quarter of a gram of linolenic acid. You can get the same quantities from a couple of walnut pieces and a few grams—a very small bite—of salmon or oyster. Beef is wonderful stuff, and grass-fed beef is especially lean and flavorful, but it's still beef.

While I was writing this article, my husband was inhaling his e-cigarette, and I was secretly thankful that he has made the switch (it has got to be better for his health, right?). The step to quitting smoking altogether is too big for now, but I am hopeful.
Smoking cessation has been a large contributor to improving mortality over the past few decades and tobacco use, amongst adults and teens, is at an all-time low. However, the trend of vaping and e-cigarettes has exploded, bringing back nicotine in a fun-filled, flavored way.
I scanned a news article the other day on the proposed tighter South African smoking regulations (the Tobacco Products Control Amendment Act) and immediately thought of the potential increase in e-cigarette usage locally.
At the bottom of the article, however, I spotted that the proposals look to regulate e-cigarettes, which, up until now, have been largely unregulated.
In many countries, there is little if any regulation of e-cigarettes. While our vapers will not take kindly to greater restrictions in public places, regulation may provide benefits in ensuring effective quality control in the production of e-cigarettes, and possibly address concerns regarding advertising, packaging and health claims.
There is a general global debate about the benefits and potential harm of e-cigarette usage. Those in favor of vaping claim it is much healthier than tobacco smoking and a successful cessation tool, while others believe there is uncertainty in the risks and a new generation of tobacco users is becoming hooked.
Since smoking habits begin during the teenage years and early twenties, there is a major risk that e-cigarettes will help to revive the popular smoking culture that has taken decades to dismantle.
So while this global debate unfolds, what does this mean for insurance premiums for those that have switched to e-cigarettes?
One would think that from a health perspective, alternative forms of smoking cessation such as nicotine patches and Nicorette gum and lozenges are a better option for stopping smoking than e-cigarettes. From an underwriting perspective around the world, those using nicotine replacement therapies have long been considered to still be smokers by the insurance industry and e-cigarettes, therefore, are treated the same way.
One study has found that e-cigarette use is not necessarily associated with higher rates of quitting or reducing smoking and hence a large proportion of e-cigarette smokers are still smoking tobacco cigarettes. Meanwhile there is a trend, due to marketing efforts, for those who have never smoked to use e-cigarettes. This is mostly confined to the very young population (16- to 25-year-olds); this "healthier" pool is typically not buying life insurance yet.
Putting aside the younger population, studies in the United States show that e-cigarettes are mainly used by ex-tobacco smokers. This suggests that the insurance pool of e-cigarette users still has a higher underlying mortality which may be similar to those of smokers, at least initially.
There is a lot of literature about the make-up of e-cigarettes suggesting that e-cigarettes contain significantly fewer chemical ingredients than tobacco; however, Poznanski et al. (2017) indicated that various analyses of particles in e-cigarette vapour have shown its similar composition to regular cigarettes.
One of the concerns around the latest e-cigarette devices is the fact that they have adjustable features (such as variable voltage and air flow), and users may modify these at home to alter the delivery of nicotine. Having a good understanding of the implications of this on health is very difficult to analyse.
One recent medical study looking at the immediate impacts of smoking on blood vessels and e-cigarette users does show altering effects when vaping, which has created concern around cardiovascular risks. Most literature generally concludes that there is still uncertainty and more time is needed for data and experience to emerge.
The challenge for insurers is verifying whether someone at the underwriting stage is an e-cigarette only smoker, tobacco smoker, or both, and to determine the exact amounts smoked. Cotinine tests, performed at the underwriting stage, don't prove whether someone is a smoker or a vaper, since they show positive for tobacco and all forms of nicotine replacement including e-cigarettes. That means we are back to relying on policyholder disclosure. The next consideration is that data suggests there is a higher risk of vapers transitioning back to tobacco smoking. As vapers could potentially access cheaper insurance premiums, measures need to be taken to develop a new approach to testing in order to avoid the incorrect identification of tobacco cigarette smokers as vapers.
This got me thinking, what did my husband declare on his insurance application?

MANCHESTER UNITED could capitalise on Chelsea's mistake not to include a buy-back clause in Romelu Lukaku's contract.
Lukaku was sold to Everton two years ago for £28million.
The Belgian has gone on to become one of the most feared marksman in the Premier League, netting 18 times this campaign.
United and Chelsea have both been tracking the 22-year-old very closely, although Everton aren't prepared to budge on their £65m valuation.
Reports earlier today emerged suggesting Lukaku had been given a tour of Borussia Dortmund's training ground ahead of a possible summer move.
But it seems Chelsea could pay the price if they don't get their hands on the striker.
The Daily Telegraph claim former boss Jose Mourinho advised against inserting a buy-back clause when Lukaku joined Everton, which meant they could have re-signed him for a cut-price fee.
Mourinho, the report suggests, thought it would be pointless to include such a clause when Lukaku joined Everton, as he wouldn't reach the required level to bring him back to the club.
It is thought the west London outfit rue letting Lukaku leave and think Mourinho was too quick to let him go.
However, ironically Mourinho could profit should he take over the reins at the Red Devils next season.

By creating a 3D model of their packaging, we are able to change the color of the contents, update labels, and make their product look its absolute best.

Lost Stories: The Mitchel Family's Daring Escape from the South
portsmouthhistorynotes Bristol Ferry Area, Portsmouth History 3 Comments
Cora Mitchel as a suffragette
When we think of Portsmouth and the Civil War, we usually focus on Lovell Hospital or the local men that went to war. I'm beginning to discover that a prominent Bristol Ferry family, the Mitchels, had a unique history of escapes from the Confederacy. I had come across a newspaper article about Portsmouth resident Colby Mitchel and his daring escape from being kidnapped from school and impressed into the Confederate Army. ( I wrote an earlier blog about this story.) With further research I came across a first hand account by his sister, Cora Mitchel, of how the rest of the family escaped from Florida and traveled to their summer home in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Cora related her story in a book in 1916 – Reminiscences of the Civil War. It was published in Providence by Snow and Farnham and it is available digitally online. The information in this blog came from Cora's book.
Why was the Mitchell family down South when the Civil War began?
The father of the family, Thomas Leeds Mitchel of Groton Connecticut, was a cotton merchant in Apalachicola, Florida. Cotton was shipped down river to be compressed and taken down to the bay where steamers and sailing vessels would carry it to England and New England. There were a number of Northerners in the community as well as families from the South. Mitchel did not believe in slavery. He employed blacks, but he did unwillingly own three. These three had come to him and asked him buy them. Otherwise they would be sold on the open market. Cora remembers them as faithful, valuable servants who were like family members.
Cora's mother was Sophia Brownell of Providence. The Brownell family was one of the earliest families in Portsmouth. The Mitchels had their summer residence in Portsmouth in the area where the first Brownells held their land. It was not uncommon for Southern planters to spend their summers in the milder climate of Aquidneck Island.
What happened to the family when the Civil War began?
Cora remembers the excitement when war seemed imminent. Her father was convinced that the war could not be long and that peace would be restored. He had large properties in the South as well as his business, so he decided not to go North. Everything he had would be confiscated if he did.
After Ft. Sumter, the town began to prepare for war. Defensive companies formed and drilled. Sandbags armed with canon lined the bay and the town was considered to be in jeopardy. In the Spring of 1861, Cora's sister, Floride, was to be married. Mother Sophia was allowed through lines and she went north for daughter's trousseau!
A blockade shut up the port. Business was at a standstill. Cora's sister and brother-in-law went to Columbus, Georgia. Fifteen year old Cora was sent to stay with her sister and go to school in Columbus.
Young Colby Mitchel sixteen or seventeen years old at the time) was taken from the schoolhouse in Apalachicola by a detachment of soldiers and conscripted into the Southern army. How his father rescues him and brings him North is another interesting story.
The family was beginning to realize the gravity of the whole situation they were in. Neighbors began to resent Colby's desertion. Mother Sophia was left with four small children and almost no food or money. Son Thomas was around ten, Sophia was about six, Louis was four and Gaston was about three.
Mrs. Mitchel's Dangerous Journey to get Cora
Mother Sophia did not want to leave Cora behind. Columbus, Georgia was three hundred miles away and Sophia left her younger children with their Aunt Ann, their nurse. She set off on a perilous journey to get her daughter. The Confederates had obstructed the river with fallen trees, debris, etc. Sophia had to get around it. She rowed against the current as far as the obstruction. She was able to get a boat for the rest of the journey, but she was exhausted when she arrived at Columbus.
When they traveled down river to get back to Apalachicola, they needed to get a passport to get through the Confederate lines. At first the soldiers Sophia approached wouldn't give it to her. Cora tried approaching a young soldier and he helped them even though he had orders not to let them pass through. A boatman who was originally from Italy was waiting for them at the obstruction. They found a route through a bayou to get around the obstruction. They had the necessary passport to get through the guard posts and the Confederates let the women and their boatmen pass. Their little boat was leaking badly as they reached a deserted wharf at Apalachicola.
Times were tough in Apalachicola. The town was built on a sand bar and could not grow food on its own. No food shipments were coming. There were no cattle or poultry. What rice they had had spoiled. Everyone lived on corn meal. The situation was getting worse, but Sophia was waiting until Spring to get the transport ship to go North. It was a dangerous time. The men who had helped their father and Colby escape had been shot by a company of soldiers.
The Journey North
The Captain of a Union ship said he was given orders not to accept refugees, but mother Sophia persisted. They waited for the transport ship on the Somerset – an old ferryboat. The crew was good to the family. The ship's tailor even made clothes for the boys. The crew missed their own families so they enjoyed the Mitchel children. The Captain even insisted on giving Sophia $500 for trip (their confederate money wouldn't do them any good getting up north). The family transferred to the transport ship, Honduras. They stopped at Tampa and Cedar Keys before they landed at Key West. Key West was crowded with refugees and blacks that were trying to escape from the South. Yellow fever was spreading throughout the town. Ten days later a steamer came from New Orleans. The Captain told Sophia there was no room, but Sophia pleaded. The Captain reluctantly allowed them to stay in a room that flooded each morning. Seasick and uncomfortable throughout the trip, the family arrived home to Rhode Island. They were reunited with Colby and father Thomas.
Many of the Mitchel family continued to spend time in the Bristol Ferry neighborhood. On his eighty-ninth birthday, Colby received the Boston Cane as the oldest resident of Portsmouth. Cora Mitchel was one of the founders of the Newport Women's Suffrage Association and served as President and Vice President of the Association. Sophia was a noted artist and had a studio at Bristol Ferry. Floride made her way to Rhode Island as well. The "Mitchel Sisters" were a force in the Portsmouth community in both the arts and social reforms.

Reblogged this on PCT History Theater and commented:
Could be Cora's story or told by her mother who is also buried at St. Pauls
ED Catterson
Recently bought a stampless letter with a note and an autograph of Thomas Leeds Mitchel , posted in Apalachicola, Florida in 1846. Very interesting story, thank you for the information.
The Mitchel story is indeed very interesting. Thomas Mitchel's great great grandson still lives in the area.

This the wrong forum, but anyway, i downloaded "OWASP Mutillidae II" from Sourceforge, unzipped the ZIP file, copied the folder "mutillieda" to the htdocs folder of Xampp and then entered http://127.0.0.1/mutilllidae into the browser.
That results in an error page which shows up and told something about Database problems, there was a link on that page to setup / reset the database, i simply clicked on that link, it took a while and tons of informational messages were shown about creation of an mutillidae database, finally a message box popped up and i clicked "Ok" in that box, and then the Mutillidae Menu shows up in the browser. I used Linux and Xampp 7.1.1 (there is no 3.2.2, please provide correct information about your environment). That wasnt difficult nor many error messages.
What did you do exactly, which errors did you receive and how did you react?
HTML 5 Local and Session Storage cleared unless error popped-up already.
Thats a pretty bad idea, instead find out the blocking process and stop it. Port 80 is meant for HTTP. I cannot reproduce any of these errors, you should ask in Mutillidae forum, we cannot provide third support here. My installation did not went wrong, thats all i could do for you. I dont know anything about Mutillidae and havent ever seen it before.
That is ok for phpmyadmin, but it does not help Mutillidae. You of course have to apply your data to Mutillidae configuration as well (and the error messages above shows, that you did not do that). Dont ask my where to put all that stuff, as already said, i dont know Mutillidae.
P.S.: I think its a bad idea that you changed the passwords and user of MySQL. I installed Mutillidae into a fresh Xampp "out of the box" without any changes and it worked. I think that all problems are due to your changes.

A Pocket Guide to The Unheralded Artists of BC Series

edited by Mona Fertig, introduction by Marsha Lederman
canadian, modern (late 19th century to 1945)
A valuable art history guide to the in-depth Unheralded Artists of BC series.
This small attractive full-colour book, will gather thirteen forgotten and accomplished artists from the acclaimed Unheralded Artists of BC series (ten books), in one place, for the first time. A summary of each artist's life and art from the early 1900's to the 1980s, will tempt art and history lovers to investigate the in-depth series more fully. In British Columbia between 1900 and the 1960s over 16,000 artists worked and lived. It was the height of an immense creative surge in the province. Beyond the handful of names of successful artists there is little documented evidence of the other artists of those times. Art was made invisible by socioeconomic or political forces and also by a lack of public galleries. "Those artists that worked the system got recognition and those that didn't, disappeared from view."–Lorna Farrell-Ward, former curator at the Vancouver Art Gallery
Mona Fertig's father, George Fertig (1915-1983), was one of the unheralded artists of BC and she grew up acutely aware of the politics of art. The Life and Art of George Fertig took her 15 years to research and write. This led her to publish the UABC series, written by authors; Adrienne Brown, Peter Busby, Claudia Cornwall, Christina Johnson-Dean, Eve Lazarus, Kerry Mason, Wendy-Newbold Patterson, Sheryl Salloum and Monika Ullmann. Fertig was made a Vancouver Literary Landmark in 2017. There was a retrospective of George Fertig's work at the Burnaby Art Gallery in 2010.

"The Pocket Guide provides a capsule history of thirteen artists who made contributions to the Canadian art historical cannon. The individual stories offer insight into the lives of the artists, the forces that drove their creative output and the challenges they faced in order to pursue their chosen profession. The collection as a whole is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to better understand the breadth of the art scene in Canada during the first half of the 20th century." —Ellen van Eijnsbergen, Director/Curator, Burnaby Art Gallery
"This beautiful publication brings together the wealth of art previously published on these individual unheralded artists of the West Coast. Above all it tells the stories of lives LIVED, euphoric breakthroughs, debilitating self-doubt, acceptance and rejection. Their art speaks to us intellectually, philosophically and spiritually, through the multiplicity and evolvement of their visual language. It shows the diversity in the collective rather than the individual in revealing the story of art during a particular time, the power of which we as future artists can build on in the knowledge that 'life is short but art is long.'"—Deon Venter, Artist
"History is what keeps up alive today. These biographical accounts of some of Western Canada's respected visual artists show Mother Tongue Publishing's skill in piecing together the wide range of talent and creativity that is woven into the fabric of BC life. Wonderful accounts of their struggles and successes leaving us a legacy and record not to be forgotten." —Matt Petley-Jones, Petley Jones Gallery, Dealers in Contemporary and Historical Art

LITTLE ROCK — The House on Friday gave final approval to legislation calling for the creation of a new state veterans home to replace the one that closed in Little Rock after failing building and health code inspections last year.
House Bill 1013 by Rep. John Edwards, D-Little Rock, was approved 95-0 and now goes to the governor.
The bill had previously been approved in the House, but because the Senate added an amendment it had to return the House for final consideration.
"We want a home in a safe place and a convenient place," Edwards told House members, adding that the location of the home was still to be decided and would not necessarily be Little Rock.
The Legislature has already approved Senate Bill 3 by Sen. Jane English, R-North Little Rock, which would create a legislative task force to develop a plan for a new veterans home. Gov. Mike Beebe signed SB 3 into law as Act 38.
Edwards has also filed HB 1299, which would appropriate up to $14 million in federal funds, up to $7.5 million in surplus funds and up to $7 million in cash funds for construction of a new state veterans' home.
That bill, which also would allow the director of the state Department of Veterans Affairs to accept donations for the project, has yet to be considered by the Joint Budget Committee.
Also Friday, the House voted 61-19 to approve HB 1251 by Rep. Warwick Sabin, D-Little Rock. The bill would establish regulations for partnerships between public and private entities.
"I think we all respect and want to encourage government to take on more of the positive principles of private industry," Sabin told House members. "We all know that the private sector oftentimes can do things more efficiently and with more expertise and more innovation than government, and what this basically does is it provides a framework to do that."
In a 94-0 vote, the House passed HB 1328 by Rep. Hank Wilkins, D-Pine Bluff, which would require the state Division of Youth Services to appear before the General Assembly for all contracts and contract changes and to require that notice be given before changes are made to community-based provider contracts.
"In this era of term limits, we as a Legislature need to make sure we have every opportunity to assure that the taxes of the people of Arkansas are being properly spent," Wilkins said while presenting his bill. "There have been several cases recently within DYS where contracts were modified (and) moneys were redistributed in a way that was not in accordance with what had initially been agreed to."
The House voted 90-4 to approve HB 1386 by Rep. Terry Rice, R-Waldron, which would allow some business owners to opt out of utility-sponsored energy conservation programs and direct their own conservation efforts.
Rice said many companies already opt out of the programs, but under his bill they could avoid the expense of repeatedly proving to the state Public Service Commission that their own conservation programs are working. He said the PSC is neutral on the bill.
Elsewhere Friday, the House State Agencies and Governmental Affairs Committee endorsed HB 1412 by Rep. Matthew Shepherd, R-El Dorado, which would make prosecuting attorney elections non-partisan, as are judicial elections.
Under the bill, prosecutors would be elected at the same time as the May primary election, which is also when nonpartisan judicial races are currently held. Runoffs for prosecutors and judges would be held on the second Tuesday in June. Judicial election runoffs are currently held at the same time as the November general election.
The bill was approved on a voice vote and goes to the House.

Baudelaire Poem "The Cat", Bio, and Decadence
October 17, 2016 By Servant_H Leave a Comment
Charles Baudelaire (google.com)
Charles Baudelaire was a French poet, art critic and pioneering translator of Edgar Allan Poe. His best-known work is highly controversial volume of poems, Les Fleurs du mal (The Flowers of Evil) (1857). And the poem Le Chat (The Cat) shows his admiration for cats.
Baudelaire was born in Paris, France on April 9, 1821. His father was a senior servant and amateur artist. As a young man, he studied law at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand.
Dissatisfied with his choice of profession, he began to drink daily, hire prostitutes and run up considerable debts. However, obtained degrees in law, he turned to a career in literature instead.
His first published work was an 1845 art review, which attracted immediate attention. Many of his critical opinions, including his championing of Delacroix, were bold and prophetic.
In 1846, Baudelaire wrote his second art review, establishing himself as an advocate of Romanticism.
Throughout his adult life, Baudelaire struggled with poor health and multiplying debts. He escaped from creditors by moving frequently. Even with frequent moving, he managed to produce translations of stories by Edgar Allan Poe, whose work he greatly admired as well as write his own poetry.
Baudelaire Poem: Le Chat (The Cat)
a cat in paris (ivesti.com.ua)
We can get to know how Baudelaire saw cats and what he found in cats. It's obvious that one human being who was mesmerized deeply by an ever-alluring feline creature.
My beautiful cat, come onto my heart full of love;
Hold back the claws of your paw,
And let me plunge into your adorable eyes
Mixed with metal and agate.
When my fingers lazily fondle
Your head and your elastic back,
And my hand gets drunk with the pleasure
Of feeling your electric body,
I see in spirit my personal lady. Her glance,
Like yours, dear creature,
Deep and cold, slits and splits like a dart,
And from her feet to her head,
A subtle atmosphere, a dangerous perfume,
Swim around her brown body.
— Geoffrey Wagner, Selected Poems of Charles Baudelaire (NY: Grove Press, 1974)
Charles Baudelaire (The AMERICAN READER)
As for theme and tone, in Baudelaire's works we see the rejection of the belief in the supremacy of nature and the fundamental goodness of man as was typically espoused by the romantics.
He was never afraid of showing an interest in decadence, refined sensual and aesthetic pleasures which had been taken as vice.
And the use of urban subject matter, such as the city, the crowd, individual passers-by, all expressed in highly ordered verse, sometimes through a cynical and ironic voice.
Baudelaire's work regularly received much critical discussion include the role of women, the theological direction of his work.
Much of everything, his experience of drug-induced states of mind, the figure of the dandy, his stance regarding democracy and its implications for the individual, his response to the spiritual uncertainties of the time, his criticisms of the bourgeois.
He made Paris the subject of modern poetry. He would bring the city's details to life in the eye's and heart's of his readers.
We are weighed down, every moment, by the conception and the sensation of Time. And there are but two means of escaping and forgetting this nightmare: pleasure and work. Pleasure consumes us. Work strengthens us. Let us choose.

The book helped to create an appreciation for new literary art forms, bring once-controversial issues out of the dark and create a surge for truth and impressionism among writers and readers alike.
Front piece of the first edition of "Fleurs du mal" by Charles Baudelaire in 1857 (Wikipedia)
Baudelaire was prosecuted along with his publisher and the book's printer for creating an offense against public morality.
Six of the poems suppressed. Gustave Flaubert and Victor Hugo and many other notables of the era rallied behind him and condemned the decision.
Victor Hugo: Romantic Author's Bio, Books, and Cats
Baudelaire died on August 31, 1867 in Paris. His influence on the direction of modern French and English language literature was considerable.
In 1895, among many others showed their respect, Stéphane Mallarmé published a sonnet in Baudelaire's memory, Le Tombeau de Charles Baudelaire .
Many of his works were published posthumously, allowing his mother to resolve his debts.
There exist only three beings worthy of respect: the priest, the soldier, the poet. To know, to kill, to create.

It's Not the Stuff of a Playful BuzzFeed Quiz

By Jaclyn Peiser
"Do You Still Have a Job at BuzzFeed?"
For about 220 BuzzFeed employees, the answer to the question posed by that quiz, which was posted on the BuzzFeed site on Monday, is no.
Managers started laying off the site's staff members last Friday, when 43 journalists at the company's news division were cut. By Wednesday, all of the employees who would be put out of work, totaling more than 15 percent of its staff, had learned their fates, with the exception of certain workers in Australia and Britain, a spokesman for the company said.
The "Do You Still Have a Job" quiz was contributed by Jason Sweeten, who worked in the company's branded content division until a separate round of layoffs in June. "I felt helpless knowing that a bunch of my friends were going to lose their jobs, so I hoped that this could bring some levity to everything," he said in an email. "Also, I assumed the quiz would be deleted immediately."
It's still on the site's Community section, which is filled with posts from contributors who have signed up for BuzzFeed Community Member accounts to publish unpaid material on the site.
Since BuzzFeed's chief executive, Jonah Peretti, and its managers started delivering the bad news, the company has faced criticism for dragging out the firing process, and employees who were let go have publicly criticized their severance packages. In addition, the suddenly jobless journalists have suffered the attacks of online trolls from corners of the internet darker and colder than BuzzFeed's typically sunny climate.
Complaints about severance pay started bubbling up in an internal Slack messaging channel last Friday called AJA, for "Ask Jonah Anything." BuzzFeed workers — those still employed and the newly laid off — questioned why the company was not going to include pay for unused vacation and comp days as part of the exit packages (except for employees based in California, where such payment is required by law).
A group of current and former employees who called themselves the BuzzFeed News Council published a letter on Medium concerning the issue of paid time off, known as P.T.O. It was signed by 600 current and former employees and addressed to Mr. Peretti; the company's chief people officer, Lenke Taylor; and the BuzzFeed News editor in chief, Ben Smith.
"For many people, paying out P.T.O. will be the difference between whether or not bills and student loans will be paid on time and how their families are supported," the letter read. "It is unconscionable that BuzzFeed could justify doing so for some employees and not others in order to serve the company's bottom line."
The hosts of BuzzFeed's morning show "AM to DM," which is produced in association with Twitter, addressed the issue on Monday. "I think it is embarrassing and absurd to work for a company that puts such an emphasis on this idea of all of us in it together, all of us as a family, and then refusing to pay out P.T.O. — paid time off — except where it's law," Isaac Fitzgerald, a co-host, said.
The pressure worked. Mr. Peretti met with the council on Monday and sent an email to employees hours later, informing them that the company would include payments for vacation and comp days as part of the severance packages.
The same day, The New Yorker published a letter to the editor by Mr. Peretti. It was his response to the magazine's recent article on the state of the journalism business by the historian Jill Lepore. In the piece — whose tenor was summed up by an illustration of the Grim Reaper holding a newspaper — Ms. Lepore wrote that "speculation is that BuzzFeed is trying to dump" BuzzFeed News. In his letter, Mr. Peretti wrote: "This speculation is incorrect. Whatever challenges we face in this difficult environment for digital media, BuzzFeed News remains a key part of the future of BuzzFeed."
Adding to the turbulence were the public complaints of BuzzFeed's quizmaster, Matthew Perpetua, another victim of the layoffs. On Monday, Mr. Perpetua published a blog post informing readers that a number of the site's most popular quizzes were created by unpaid contributors. One so-called community user, whom he identified only as a college student in Michigan, was "the second-highest traffic driver worldwide" among BuzzFeed's quizmakers, Mr. Perpetua wrote.
This came as news to the quizmaker, Rachel McMahon, a 19-year-old student at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Mich. After writing on Twitter that she felt "horrible" that BuzzFeed may have been emboldened to lay off staff partly because of the popularity of her unpaid work, she had a moment in the media spotlight when she was interviewed at length for New York magazine's Intelligencer site.
A BuzzFeed spokesman complimented Ms. McMahon's work but disputed that she was the second most popular quizmaker in 2018, adding, "We'd be all too lucky to hire her when she graduates from college."
Over the last week, many of the laid-off BuzzFeeders found themselves the recipients of ugly messages and tweets sent by trolls and alt-right Twitter accounts. The messages included some variation of "learn to code," images of nooses and insults. One message sent by email included death threats, NBC News reported.
"I believe there is a special, dedicated section of Hell just for people with anime twitter avatars who tell laid-off journalists to 'learn to code,'" Patrick George, the editor in chief of the automotive site Jalopnik, said on Twitter.

We all know that there is a lack of women in technology. But of those who pursue the field and persevere, there are a number of young women achieving incredible levels of success.
Over the last couple of weeks, Business Insider accepted nominations for the most important women under 30 in tech. They combined those nominations with their own research to come up with this definitive list.
These women hold a variety of roles in the industry: founder, CEO, engineer, venture capitalist — you name it. We're highlighting a few here.
About: Ruzwana Bashir is a rising star in the startup industry. Her startup Peek attracted investments from two top-notch tech execs: Jack Dorsey of Twitter and Square, and Google chairman Eric Schmidt.
Bashir started her career at Goldman Sachs, and then went over to Blackstone. She got her first taste of the startup world when she joined Gilt Groupe, working under Kevin Ryan. She later went to Artsy where she was a member of the founding team.
About: Samantha John founded Hopscotch in 2011. The startup recently launched its flagship app, where kids program their own games and animations. Before Hopscotch, John worked as a developer at Pivotal Labs.
About: Callie Schweitzer oversees corporate brand management and awareness, and audience growth for SB Nation, The Verge, and Polygon. Prior to joining Vox Media, Schweitzer worked as deputy publisher at Talking Points Memo. While at Talking Points Memo, Schweitzer played a key role in the company's efforts to increase traffic through distribution deals with Google and Yahoo. Last month, Time magazine named her Twitter feed one of the world's best last month.
All of these women are fantastic role models for young girls. Keep up your great work ladies!!!

Top four-year colleges and universities for nursing in Alabama
Nursing employers are demonstrating a growing preference for applicants with a bachelor's and/or master's degree in their chosen field. These advanced nursing degrees can be obtained through a four-year college or university. Four-year colleges confer a bachelor's, or baccalaureate, degree as their highest undergraduate honor. A bachelor's degree typically requires four to six years to complete. In addition to bachelor's degree programs, many universities offer graduate nursing education including a master's of science in nursing (MSN) degree program.
Alabama has an abundance of education options for individuals pursuing nursing careers, with over 20 four-year colleges and universities across the state. Roughly half of these schools are public institutions like The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, University of South Alabama in Mobile, and Troy University. These public universities offer a broad array of bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree programs with a wealth of nursing specializations. The other half of these schools are private colleges. Private institutions often focus more squarely on baccalaureate education, and several of Alabama's private schools also provide two-year associate's degree programs as an intermediate stepping stone.
A bachelor's or master's degree from a top four-year institution can qualify a candidate for employment at one of the state's major nursing employers, including Brookwood Medical Center or the Department of Veteran Affairs. Job openings are frequently available for the positions of registered nurse, RN care coordinator, and nurse practitioner, and these spots are often filled by candidates educated at the state's best four-year colleges and universities.

This story seems to be repeating itself quit frequently. If drivers knew they could face a prison sentence for assault with a deadly weapon, maybe they'd think twice about using their car to attack cyclists. A friend of mine had a driver chase after him with his SUV and when he went to get onto the pedestrian path, the driver DROVE UP THE PATH after him. Cops eventually came out and the driver claimed my friend had hit his car, damaging it. Which was false. The cops took the driver's side and issued my friend a ticket for fleeing the scene.
Rewind a bit; the driver DROVE up the pedestrian path to block my friend's path. The safety zone for pedestrians in this city. What should the NYPD do to drivers engaging in this behavior?


The Government should establish a national food waste reduction target to drive efforts to reduce the food waste costing the average person in the UK £200 per year and supermarkets should publicly report data on the amount of food they bin and relax rules that prevent the sale of "wonky vegetables" to combat food waste, the Environment Food and Rural Affairs Committee says in its report.
One-third of food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted globally and in the UK over £10 billion worth of food is thrown away by households every year. Food waste has grotesque economic, social and environmental costs. Economically, food waste costs households hundreds of pounds a year and causes increased disposal costs to local authorities, pushing up council tax bills.
Socially it is a scandal that people are going hungry and using food banks when so much produce is being wasted. And environmentally it is a disaster, because energy and resources are wasted in production only for the food to end up rotting in landfills where it produces methane—a potent climate-changing gas.
We commend Tesco for publishing its food waste data from across the supply chain. Sainsbury's is moving in the same direction, but needs more transparency. The fact that no other retailers have followed their lead shows that a voluntary approach is inadequate. The Government needs to step in and force other major supermarkets to be transparent about food waste. We welcome the will shown by retailers to redistribute surplus food. However, we believe that more must be done. There is a huge amount of surplus food that is currently not being redistributed."
A priority must then be placed on awareness raising work. In 2015 alone, £13 billion of food was wasted in the UK, costing the average household £470 a year—or those with children £700. The MPs believe that awareness of food waste should start at an early age and they recommend that the Government examines how lessons on food and food waste can be incorporated into the curriculum.
The committee also raises concerns that Defra's funding for WRAP has reduced over recent years, despite the waste body's significant achievements in spurring food waste reduction through UK wide voluntary initiatives. It is essential that the Government provides WRAP with sufficient public funding so that—alongside investment from other sources—it has adequate resources to enable it to maintain its food waste reduction programmes.
The report also concludes that local authorities should remain responsible for addressing the specific challenges and barriers to increasing food waste collections that they face at a local level. However, guidance and best practice should be shared at a national level in order to move towards a standardised approach and to assist local authorities to improve their individual performance.
The MPs say that the incoming Government consider a national strategy to ensure a consistent collection of waste and recycling across the UK.
The Committee is also calling on the Government to work closely with WRAP and Local Authorities to ensure that separate food waste collections are offered to as many households as possible within the UK. And Local authorities must look at the opportunities to introduce separate food waste collection when new waste contracts are put in place.
"The Government should drive progress on food waste in England by setting a national target for food waste reduction. In the way that Scotland, the USA and many of our European counterparts do. And supermarkets need to do much more. It's ridiculous that perfectly good vegetables are wasted simply because they're a funny shape. Farmers supplying fruits and vegetables to UK supermarkets currently get their produce rejected on the grounds that it fails to meet cosmetic quality standards set by the big retailers. Knobbly carrots and parsnips don't cook or taste any different. It's high time we saved them from the supermarket reject bins!"
The incoming Government should continue the current review with WRAP and the Food Standards Agency on food date labelling, with a view to issuing guidance to industry by the end of the year. The review should specifically look at whether there is a need for 'best before' dates at all. The Committee also calls on supermarkets to make improvements to their packaging, such as increasing the use of split and re-sealable packets, to help consumers reduce food waste.
The Government should mandate food businesses and retailers over a particular size to separate food waste.
"The best thing we can do is to prevent raw materials, ingredients and products from becoming waste in the first place. If surplus cannot be prevented, then redistribution to people in need or as animal feed is the next best option. Once it is thrown away the best way of dealing with food waste is to recycle it by sending it to anaerobic digestion or composting. The worst way to deal with it is to send it for disposal through waste incineration without energy recovery or to send it to landfill."
