Flers er en kommune i den nordvestlige del af Orne departmentet i det nordvestlige Frankrig. Indbyggerne kaldes "Flériens".

Geografi

Nord for Flers ligger kommunerne Saint-Georges-des-Groseillers og Aubusson. Mod nordøst ligger Ronfeugerai, mod vest ligger La Lande-Patry og Saint-Paul, mod sydvest ligger La Chapelle-Biche, La Chapelle-au-Moine og Messei og mod sydøst ligger La Selle-la-Forge.

Kommunen gennemløbes af floden Vère som udmunder i floden Noireau i Pont-Erembourg (i Saint-Denis-de-Méré kommunen).

Klima
Flers tilhøren regionen som strækker sig fra Bocagen til Écouves skoven, den mest nedbørsrige del af Orne departementet, der har forholdsvis milde temperaturer på grund af den korte afstand til Den engelske kanal og virkningen af havet. Det har glæde af et kystklima med milde vintre og tempererede somre..

Historie
Den første omtale af Flers optræder i slutningen af det 12. århundrede som Flers (1164-1179) eller Flex (1188-1221). Nogle forfattere mener, at byens navn er afledt fra det germanske stednavn Hlaeri, i betydningen fælled mens andre mener at det stammer fra de tyske Fliessen, fra det hollandske vliet eller det latinske fluere latin Fluere, antyder et vandløb, sø eller marsk. En anden mulighed er det latinske flexus, der betyder et sving på en vej eller en flod. Endelig er der det bretonske ord fler eller flear der betyder dårlig lugt, en indikation af stillestående vand.
Alle etymologier lader imidlertid til at være enige om at byen er opkaldt efter sin topografi og vandet i nærheden af den.

Middelalderen
Fra det 10. århundrede og frem var de Flers familien ledere af et baroni. Ifølge overleveringen var de to brødre Foulques d'Aunou and Guillaume de Gasprée gift med to søstre, som var baronesser af Flers i det 11. århundrede . Foulques d'Aunou modtog Flers som sin bryllupsgave..

Bygningen af borgen i Flers begyndte i det 12. århundrede som en befæstet stilling af træ og sten omgivet af vand. Kilderne fra Hundredårskrigen omtaler ikke noget befæstet sted i Flers, så det var ikke af større strategisk interesse på daværende tidspunkt.

Det nuværende slot i Flers stammer fra det 16. og 18. århundrede.

I 1790 under den Franske revolution blev Flers en kanton i distriktet Domfront, i Orne départementet.. Hertuginden af Flers, Jacqueline Le Goué de Richemont, som var gift med Pierre-François de Paule de La Motte-Ango, støttede de kontrarevolutionære. Slottet i Flers blev hovedkvarter for hertug Louis de Frotté, en af lederne af den normanniske Chouannerie.

I 1901 købte borgmesteren i Flers slottet, og det har siden været i kommunalt eje.

Transport

Flers has a train station on the line Paris – Granville. It has a local bus system for Flers and the surrounding communities, and departmental lines connecting it with other major towns in Orne and Calvados. Flers also has a small airstrip

Monumenter og seværdigheder
Slottet stammer fra det 16. og 18. århundrede. Det rummer et museum med ældre og 19. århundredes billeder og skulpturer, brugskunst (møbler og dekoration) og lokalhistorie.
Andre seværdigheder er den neogotiske Saint-Germain kirke fra begyndelsen af det 20. århundrede og den neoromanske Saint-Jean kirke fra det 19. århundrede samt det overdækkede marked fra 1883.

How Do I Choose the Color Temperature of an LED?
The LED lighting market has grown to include all types of choices. One of those choices is the color temperature of the lighting. Color temperature is measured in Kelvins (K) and indicates how warm or cool the color of the light appears. Despite common belief, "whiter" LED light isn't always better!
Lighting that's in the 5000K color temperature range is blue-white in color. The quality of this light is bright and crisp. Small details stand out under this type of light because of the color contrast this crisp light offers. This LED color is best used in industrial spaces, such as factories, or other workplaces where details are important, such as surgery and exam rooms.
The 4000K color temperature range for LEDs is neutral white. This color range produces a balanced color tone, not too blue and not too yellow. This creates an environment that can keep employees alert through the day. Spaces that would benefit from this type of light would be commercial spaces, retail spaces, hospital offices and hallways, and office spaces.
LED lighting in the 3000K color temperature range is yellow-white in color. The slight yellow warmth adds coziness to an interior space. This creates an inviting environment perfect for commercial spaces. Places that would benefit most from this color temperature include spas, hotel lobbies, and other areas that need a welcoming touch.
Color temperature can create a certain atmosphere in a commercial setting, energize employees, or add the ability to see details clearer. Depending on your space, you may need a different color temperature than you might have thought.

Home Blog Is CS:GO Running Out of Steam?
Peter Wassenberg
With the latest CS:GO Major, Dreamhack Cluj Napoca, in the books, those looking back are met with a rather disappointing picture, as – despite the top quality action – the numbers generated by the event were quite dismal. Indeed, the Dreamhack Cluj Napoca numbers were poor, prompting some to ponder whether the hype around the game is slowly beginning to settle. The players may be burned out as well as the audience, and considering that the Cluj Napoca major came only 2 months after the last one in Cologne, fatigue could indeed be a factor.
Is CS:GO really on its way out though? Is it really losing viewer interest (which would certainly be the death-knell of the title's eSports ambitions) or was the Cluj outing but a fluke? Despite the gloom and doom some people are so eager to disseminate, CS:GO almost certainly hasn't run its race yet. The reasons behind the poor Cluj numbers are numerous, but relatively easy to pinpoint and thus to avoid in the future.
First of all: the timing of the event couldn't have been poorer. As said above, it came only 2 months after the last major, at Halloween, at a time when a number of other high-profile eSports events (like the LoL World Championships, the HearthStone World Championships and the Nanyang Dota 2 finals) were running and hogging the lime-light.
Secondly, and this one's quite obvious: the location. Cluj Napoca isn't particularly well known for anything in the realms of competitive gaming and labeling it a "backwater" for all eSports purposes would probably be quite accurate if somewhat rude. In addition to all that, there are no high-level Romanian teams involved in the eSports scene and thus the locals – not particularly keen on the genre as a whole to begin with – had no extra reasons to show up.
The format of the event left some room for improvement as well: although everything was professionally executed and although there were even some improvements in Cluj from a technical perspective, the event was dragged out over 5 days. It is widely known that viewer interest peaks on the very first day of a multi-day event, and it slowly tapers off afterwards, so making this major 5-days long was obviously not a good move.
Certainly, there will be some who will argue that CS:GO has lost its credibility after last year's streak of bans following a Valve Anti-cheat scandal, but common sense says the Fat Lady hasn't sung for the game yet, far from it. All it will take to get those prized Major numbers up again is probably to move the next event to a more "happening" location and to pay its timing a little more thought.

World AIDS day 2015: Key to successful prevention is reducing risky behaviour
Slovenia still remains a low HIV epidemic country, but the number of infected is however rising. A new preventive measure will be introduced, namely testing of pregnant women, with the intention preventing HIV transmission from mother to child.
27 years ago December 1st was chosen as the World AIDS day. According to data gathered by the National Institute of Public Health (NIJZ), during last 30 years 726 people infected with HIV virus have been detected in Slovenia. The occurrence of HIV virus in Slovenia is less than one HIV-positive person per 1000 inhabitants. In the last decade 112 people developed AIDS, and 23 died after being diagnosed with AIDS.
Slovenia has been actively dealing with AIDS for 30 years. NIJZ warns that discrimination and stigmatisation remain the main obstacles for successful awareness-raising, early detection, and early treatment.

How to plant perfect borders
borders picture
The spirit of place can be difficult to articulate in a garden, being a result of history, objects, plants and people, but one of the most compelling ways a gardener can achieve it is in the choice of plants and how they're arranged together. Nature's floral tide generates an effortless succession of seasonal effects; take a stroll through Sissinghurst's bluebell wood, for instance, and you will see a close-knit and balanced community of plants that co-exist in harmony, emerging, flowering and fading, to be replaced by something else.
In a multi-layered, complex and completely artificial flower border, however (containing species from various habitats around the world), the subtle and successful relationship between perennial partners is more difficult to maintain. Achieving a harmonious balance here requires continual critique and reworking of the component parts.
At Sissinghurst, both Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson were surprisingly well-organised gardeners, always keeping copious notes and lists. Vita's garden note-books demonstrate what a perfectionist she was, never satisfied with a planting that could be improved. Two of the things that Harold said he most admired about Vita were her 'courage to abolish ugly and unsuccessful flowers' and her 'extraordinary taste in plants'. Vita experimented all the time with shapes and colours, moving whole groups of plants. She rejuvenated the garden every season, with new varieties or fresh ideas.
The Nicolsons deliberately engineered each garden room at Sissinghurst to peak at a certain time, such as the magnificent crescendo of flowering bulbs in the Lime Walk during April, the Rose Garden in June or the White Garden in July. In this way, they achieved a succession of climaxes throughout the garden, with each space peaking in turn and then allowed to rest when another area of the garden would take over.
However, Sissinghurst's change of use to being a public garden brings an expectation that every part of it should be of interest, whenever you visit. And I can think of few other gardens where, over the past 50 years, more successful combinations of plants have been realised than here.
It now falls to me to continue orchestrating these sophisticated multi-layered plantings and one area I'm currently working on consists of four beds at the garden entrance that we call the 'Donkey Beds', named after Abdul the donkey, who used to graze the lawns here.
My preferred way of gardening is hands-on and intuitive, but, whether planned on paper or not, all of my schemes follow the same process, whereby the plants are grouped into several categories, as follows. Keynote plants, providing structure and character, are placed first. They act as anchor points and don't have to dominate; however, their personality and presence must be sufficient to hold a scheme together. Accent plants follow. Their role is to give unity and they work in two ways. When woven through a scheme, their effect is of rhythm or, if planted at intervals, the effect is of punctuation and potency.
Finally, the filler plants. It's at this stage that many schemes fall apart, for as much care should be given to the choice of filler plants as the structural ones. I want to keep the four Donkey Beds simple as they lie outside the garden gate. However, I want to provide them with year-round interest. My keynote plants are musk roses, which were loved by Vita. They will be added to by accents of alcea, delphinium and lilium, all emerging from a foaming froth of Ammi majus, grown from two sowings in autumn and spring. Seasonal highs will come from my choice of experimental filler plants, from which we will refine our selection.
In my first clutch, I'm growing a wonderful annual Lunaria- acquired from a gardening friend on Guernsey-with intensely blue-purple flowers, Campanula persicifolia, Dictamnus albus, Crambe maritima and Berkheya purpurea from South Africa.No one said this kind of gardening was low maintenance or easy, but it is rewarding.

I MUTO (acronimo per Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism, letteralmente "enorme organismo terrestre non identificato") sono una coppia di kaijū (mostri misteriosi) apparsi nel film Godzilla e nel  suo seguito uscito nel 2019.

Quadro generale

Nome
"MUTO" è un acronimo per Organismo Terrestre Massiccio Non Identificato (Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism). Il regista Gareth Edwards li descrisse come "gli UFO dei mostri". Il primo abbozzo del film nominava il MUTO maschio e femmina come Hokmuto e Femuto. Sebbene il termine viene usato nel film per identificare i due mostri, origina come designazione per qualsiasi organismo gigante non identificato. Tale è il caso nel fumetto prequel Godzilla: Awakening, dove un superorganismo collettivista risalente al Permiano viene nominato MUTO prima di essere infine battezzato "Shinomura" (sciame della morte).

Sviluppo
Dopo aver acquisito i diritti per Godzilla, Legendary Pictures decise subito d'includere due antagonisti nel film. Il primo abbozzo di David Callaham includeva dei mostri stabiliti come antichi nemici di Godzilla, ma senza spiegazione per la loro inimicizia. Quando Gareth Edwards fu incaricato a lavorare come regista, compose un retroscena per rendere il collegamento fra Godzilla e i MUTO meno ambiguo. Gli venne l'idea che, nel passato remoto, le creature uccidessero i simili di Godzilla per poi covare le uova nelle loro carcasse, così facendo che, nei giorni d'oggi, i MUTO avrebbero una motivazione per scontrarsi con Godzilla.

Edwards rivelò in un'intervista che ci volle un anno per decidere il look finale dei MUTO, siccome voleva creare qualcosa di più contemporaneo dei nemici precedenti di Godzilla. Gli artisti del film trassero ispirazione da varie fonti, inclusi Jurassic Park, Alien, Starship Troopers - Fanteria dello spazio e King Kong, riflettendo su che cosa rese i mostri di questi film così iconici. Edwards diede il merito del look finale dei MUTO all'artista Matt Allsopp, dichiarando che "80-50% del loro DNA" proveniva da lui.

Il film raffigura i MUTO come una specie ottopode sessualmente dimorfica; la femmina è la più grande, mentre il maschio è più piccolo, con arti modificati in ali. Sebbene abbiano un aspetto da artropode, l'artista Guillaume Rocheron li paragonò ai vertebrati. L'angolarità delle ali del maschio sono basate su quelle d'un velivolo stealth. Come effetto collaterale delle radiazioni che assorbono, i MUTO sono capaci di emettere impulsi elettromagnetici dagli artigli.

Apparizioni
Una coppia di MUTO appaiono come antagonisti nel film Godzilla (2014), e un secondo MUTO femmina fa una breve apparizione nel sequel Godzilla II - King of the Monsters (2019). Il termine MUTO viene anche citato in Kong: Skull Island (2017). La super-specie Madre dei MUTO, Titanus Jinshin-Mushi (soprannominata anche MUTO Prime), compare nel romanzo grafico Godzilla: Aftershock.

Event-related oscillations in mice: Effects of stimulus characteristics
Ehlers, Cindy
Criado, J. R.
Journal of Neuroscience Methods Journal
Event-related oscillations (EROs) are rhythmic changes that are evoked by sensory and/or cognitive processes that influence the dynamics of the EEG. EROs are estimated by a decomposition of the EEG signal into phase and magnitude information for a range of frequencies and then changes in those frequencies are characterized over a millisecond time scale with respect to task events. EROs have been demonstrated to be sensitive measures of both normal and abnormal cognitive functioning in humans but have not been fully described in mice. The results of these studies demonstrate that EROs can be generated in cortical sites in mice in the delta, theta, alpha/beta frequency ranges in response to auditory stimuli. Oscillations in the 7.5-40 Hz frequencies were significantly affected in the 0-50 ms time range in response to differences in tone frequency. Whereas, changes in tone loudness produced changes in oscillations in the 7.5-40 Hz frequencies in the 350-800 ms range. No significant changes in EROs were found to differences in tone probability. These studies suggest that EROs are an electrophysiological assay sensitive to tone characteristics and as such may be suitable for the exploration of the effects of genetic or neuropharmacological manipulations on neurosensory processing in mice.

Angelic tones grace øjeRum's elegant "He remembers there were gardens". Throughout the singular serene piece the way the sound is sculpted gives it a symphonic feeling. Indeed, it is by imposing this classical structure onto glistening electronics that the work becomes quite emotionally resonant. Evolution feels naturalistic with an adherence upon a carefully built up, gradually shifting series of lovely drones. By choosing such a path the piece emerges as becoming deeply beautiful as it explores the smallest facets of sound. Without saying a single word narrative forms, that feels at times yearning, wistful, and nostalgic. Melodies are aching in terms of their careful balance.
Hushed sweeps of sound introduce the piece. For a while øjeRum chooses to simply explore the spacious of the sound. Slowly but surely øjeRum incorporates an ever-growing series of layers that help to fully flesh out the sound, at times even referencing drone music. Upon reaching something of a fevered pitch about five minutes in the piece suddenly returns to its initial quieter pastures. Around the eleven-minute mark øjeRum even touches upon the ambient bliss of early Warp Record releases, only with the ambience extended off into the infinite. Gradually øjeRum strips the sound down to the absolute essentials as the sound appears to nearly evaporate into the distance about halfway through the piece. For a moment a woozy, yearning melody emerges out of the near-silence to fill the void. Easily the best part of the piece it represents a struggle of sorts. Towards the finale all has been resolved with the song slowly melting away.
"He remembers there were gardens" shows off the impeccable pacing and arrangement work of øjeRum.

Alumni stories; Inspiring the next generation – Dr Samantha Fox
Dr Samantha Fox joined the John Innes Centre as a Research Assistant two decades ago.
After roles in the Phil Dale and Clive Lloyds labs, Sam joined the Professor Enrico Coen lab in 2004, going on to spend 16 years contributing to their world-renowned research on plant shape.
As well as an active RA, Sam played an integral role in setting up a number of initiatives and events aimed at inspiring the next generation of scientists.
Earlier this year, after completing her PhD, Sam left us to focus on one of those inspirational projects, moving to become a full-time Director of the Youth STEMM Award, a not-for-profit organisation Sam co-founded during her time here.
We caught up with Sam to hear the story of her career and check in with how it's going. First, we asked her, what is the Youth STEMM Awards?
"The Youth STEMM Award is a skills award for students in years 9-13, designed to support and inspire the next generation into STEMM, which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths and Medicine.
Students take part in STEMM-related activities at school, online or at home and log them to our e-portfolio, creating a record of achievement great to help with applications for higher education and employment.
Taking part broadens horizons, evidences skill development and raises confidence through a sense of achievement.
Running the awards requires a lot of different skills. Since there are so few people in the organisation, I do most things myself and it means my role is quite varied.
Thankfully, through my time at the John Innes Centre I worked in three different groups on many diverse topics within plant science. As a scientist I became proficient at many laboratory techniques but it is those other skills such as organisation, communication and teamworking that have really helped me move away from the bench and into business.
Communication is probably the most important skill I use. I have virtual meetings most days with collaborators to discuss projects we are working on or with others who might want to collaborate in future, there is a lot of networking.
I create all our marketing and design materials, so I have had to become a bit of an expert user of Adobe InDesign. I recently launched a monthly newsletter and create and curate content for that that I think will be of interest to our readers.
I also do a lot of presentations, these might involve pitching for investment, showcasing the YSA to teachers, or training those who will be running the Award in their school. Being able to put together a really good presentation is incredibly valuable (thank you Rico for the years of Coen-lab training).
Digital skills have also played an important role and the fact that I know my way around an excel spreadsheet has certainly come in handy for managing the finances.
If I am also working on a consultancy project I have to balance my time so that nothing gets forgotten. I used to have lists all over the place, now I have one notebook with a daily list that either gets completed or the items carried forward to the next day, so I never lose track of anything.
Working for myself is great but I miss the people and community at the John Innes Centre and across the Norwich Research Park. It is a unique place and very vibrant. There was always someone to talk to over a coffee break and someone to share ideas with.
My career path began at the University of East Anglia, where I was inspired as an undergraduate by lectures on plant science by Caroline Dean and Des Bradley.
After graduating from UEA I stayed on for a Master's by research studying plant disease resistance. Fortunately, I received a scholarship from the Gatsby foundation and this really helped me to secure my first job as a Research Assistant at the John Innes Centre, in what was then the 'Brassicas and Oilseeds Research department.'
What was initially a two-and-a-half-year contract extended into a 20-year career.
My research focused on how plants generate their amazing leaf shapes through coordination of cell division and orientated growth according to an underlying biochemical-based polarity system. I was part of the team that produced the first computer model that explained leaf shape transformation according to biologically validated observations.
Each new project provided me with the opportunity to learn new skills and develop my role, gradually becoming more senior with additional responsibilities. Alongside my research I found enjoyment in communicating science and taking part in school engagement and outreach.
I developed numerous school outreach events including the Women of the Future Conference and the Year 10 Science Camp as well as founding what would become the Youth STEMM Award CIC, which I launched as an independent community interest company in 2016.
In 2012 I became a champion for equality and diversity and later was part of the team who helped the John Innes Centre achieve the Silver and Gold Athena SWAN Awards.
As my list of publications grew so did the niggling feeling that something was missing. It was thanks to senior colleagues who first suggested that I look into undertaking a PhD by Publication and I am hugely grateful to the John Innes Centre for funding me to undertake this and the support of my supervisor, Rico Coen.
It was far from easy to find the time to write up my thesis alongside my role in the lab at the same time as running the Youth STEMM Award.
As the end of my 5-year project loomed I decided that rather than apply for another role I would take a break from research to write up my thesis and have a go at making the Youth STEMM Award my main job and a sustainable enterprise. So, I booked myself into a library carrel and for three months and focused on little else but writing. I loved the experience and though it was stressful at times, the effort paid off and I passed on viva day without corrections.
Now, some 10 months later, I am working for myself as the director of the Youth STEMM Award with sponsorship from high profile organisations including UEA, the Wellcome Genome Campus and the wonderful John Innes Centre who continue to support our mission to support and inspire the next generation into STEMM.
Graduating with a PhD is without doubt the highlight of my academic career (that and the first author Science paper that I hardly ever mention…) and something I am proud of having achieved.
In my 'other' career as a social entrepreneur, having transformed what was initially an idea (emailed to Dale one afternoon), into an organisation that is helping young people across the UK is something I am incredibly proud of. The YSA would not have happened if it were not for the support John Innes Centre."

Norwich Research Park is today a bustling international research community with a small secret


As readers of this blog or really any personal finance blog are aware, there are 3 particularly large expenses (housing, food, and transportation) that account for over 60% of household spending. We're focusing today on the madness occurring in the transportation category of the budget for many Americans.
For those of you that follow my Twitter account, you may or may not remember a tweet from several weeks back about how the average new vehicle loan is $31,099, while the average used vehicle loan is $19,589. Furthermore, Americans on average spend 16% of their income on transportation. Although I do realize the necessity of a car in many areas of America (try getting to work in a small Midwestern town in the middle of January without a car), I also don't believe it's necessary to take on this kind of debt when purchasing a vehicle or to spend this much on transportation. Maybe I'm a bit biased as my father is quite handy with cars, and we have always purchased cars that were in collisions, and then restored them back to road condition. This has allowed us to use our cars for over 10 years at a relatively low cost in comparison to many Americans. I realize that this isn't something that is an option for everyone, but many Americans without a doubt would benefit from carefully considering their options when it comes to the transportation category of spending.
I am fairly lucky to live 7 miles/10 minutes each way to/from work. The average American has a commute of 16 miles each way to/from work. With gasoline prices at an average of $2.85/gallon at the time of writing this, I spend $356/year on gasoline assuming working 50 weeks/year and 5 days/week, while averaging 28 miles per gallon. The average American would spend $814/year on gasoline with the same assumptions. Of course, the amazing part is this doesn't even factor in the other expenses that are magnified when one lives further from work. For instance, you'll need to replace your tires sooner, change your oil more frequently, and your car will depreciate at a much more rapid rate the further you need to commute to work. The other not so obvious cost is the added commute time that results from living further away from work. This cuts into your time to relax or pursue side hustles.
Remember how I assumed that other Americans were also driving vehicles that averaged 28 mpg? It actually turns out that the average fuel economy in the United States is somewhat lower than that at 24.7 mpg according to Reuters. You're probably thinking "Kody, that's only a difference of roughly 13% in terms of fuel efficiency." However, when you drive as much as the typical American drives, it's that extra 13% in fuel efficiency that I'm getting out of my 2012 Chevy Impala that really adds up (I drove mostly highway miles, which is how I arrive at an average of 28 mpg for my commute). Of course, the average fuel economy of SUVs and trucks are still noticeably lower than that of subcompact and compact cars. With the strengthening US economy, stable gasoline prices, and improved design, the uptick in demand for SUVs and trucks has been drastic. Since 2008, the share of SUVs/trucks sold has increased from 49% of sales to 65% in 2017. Before purchasing a vehicle, be sure to evaluate your needs. Nothing is more illogical than to buy a spacier vehicle than you really need. It senselessly drains your wallet and leads to more carbon emissions in the process.
One of the most useful things that I learned from both the online personal finance community, and my economics class is to incorporate opportunity cost into any decision you make. This will help you make an informed decision, and you'll ultimately feel confident in whatever decision you make after analyzing your options. For instance, let's say that you stumble across two barely used cars that are in nearly identical condition in terms of miles, model year, etc. The only difference is that one car is less desirable and perceived as "uncool" by society, whereas the other is viewed as a "status symbol" by society. The "uncool" and undesirable car costs $14,000, whereas the "status symbol" car costs $20,000. When determining which car to pick, it essentially comes down to how much you value validation from your peers. The $6,000 difference when invested for 15 years at a 5% inflation adjusted return turns into nearly $12,500. So at the end of the possible lifetime of both cars, we can see that one choice leads to you having $12,500 in extra wealth, and the other leads to $0.
Live as close to work as you can provided it doesn't materially impact other spending categories like housing. This will save you time, and money provided you don't spend more on housing (living closer to work) than the reduction in your transportation expenses. If you are really lucky, you may even be able to work from home part of the week depending upon your job. Secondly, be sure to be mindful of your needs when evaluating what vehicle to purchase. How much space do you need from the vehicle you're looking to purchase? What is the fuel efficiency of the vehicle as measured by mpg? What are the safety ratings of the vehicle? All these factors should be taken into account prior to pulling the trigger on purchasing a vehicle. Lastly, be sure to weigh the opportunity costs of one vehicle against the other. Is a prestigious or unnecessarily spacious vehicle that is priced higher than a reliable, workhorse vehicle worth amassing substantially less wealth 10 or 15 years from now?
What are your thoughts on the transportation expenses of the average American household? Do you have any tips that you can think of to reduce transportation expenses?


How do you do a point of view POV camera shot in *newer* MMD? What cool new camera effects are made possible with it? How do you lock the camera's POV in MMD?
It's *personal* for me… FIRST-personal!
Last year, Arizona made a post about an amusing technique allowing to make the camera look through the eyes of your character. It could produce impressive results… but what was really impressive was the amount of shovelwork necessary to achieve something noteworthy. Even with extremely clear instructions outlined in that article, making the camera follow the character doing anything more complex than strolling from point A to point B meant some pretty heavy data crunching. In other words, exactly the kind of work that computers, not people, are meant for.
Starting from this version, the camera manipulation panel was updated with one more control – model/bone selector. Now you can assign the camera to any model's bone – and the camera will follow it wherever you go! With this setting, making POV shots becomes a breeze.
Just select a character you want to enliven and a bone – "both eyes" would be a logical choice. Wait… for some reason we're looking backwards. No worries, you still can adjust camera's position and angle and new numbers will stick as you move. Reverse the Y axis to 180° and place the camera slightly in front of the nose bridge using Camera Manipulation mode – and that's all the setting up you really need to make your character go first-person. Walk, jump, crouch, bow, wave your hands – all that will be properly registered by the camera.
When working with this technique, you will appreciate the "View/Camera lightning tracking" menu option. With it, you can manipulate the model and at the same time see how it looks from the character's POV – instant camera-view-in-model-mode. You can plan rather than guess your movements in full regard of how they will look in first person.
You also may consider playing with the view angle setting of the camera. By default, it is set for 30°. Most FPS games, though, use higher settings – 60-90 depending on monitor's aspect ratio. Of course, FPS are also meant to play on full screen – if you don't plan your video to be high-def, higher FOV settings would be meaningless.
Of course, you don't have to limit yourselves to FPS genre with this technique. Place the camera behind character's back instead of the nosebridge, and Doom just as easily becomes Tomb Raider. On the other hand, you can also place it on a Dummy Bone instead of the character, and plan camera's movements seeing its supposed position while having your own "camera" completely separately. Ability to glue the camera to an arbitrary bone opens quite a new set of possibilities.
And… this is all, folks! It's really *this* simple!

Kennedy, Boustany, Fleming lead in Louisiana US Senate money chase
By Lou Gehrig Burnett
SENATE RACE MONEY
The campaign finance reports are in for the U.S. Senate candidates, and it's not surprising that the race has gotten into millions of dollars for some candidates.
Louisiana more competitive for Clinton, Trump's campaign $ dwarfed
Clinton closes gap in Louisiana
RealClearPolitics is reporting on a poll conducted by JMC Analytics which shows that Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is closing the gap with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in Louisiana.
Trump has a seven-point lead in the poll, which is down from 10 points a month ago. Here are the results:
Clinton-Trump polls: 1995 Recording, debate surge?
Clinton surges in new polls
As Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's aggressive comments about women sinks in, a new poll shows that Democrat Hillary Clinton has opened a double-digit lead.
The poll, conducted by NBC News/Wall Street Journal, has Clinton with 46% support among likely voters compared to 35% for Trump.
Libertarian Gary Johnson had 9% and Green Party Jill Stein 2%.
While some GOP jump Trump train, Louisiana Republican leaders on board, but
Standing by Trump?
Republican politicians all across the country began jumping off the Donald Trump train once a video was released with the Republican presidential nominee bragging in vulgar terms about his exploits with women.
The list is a long one, with some Republicans urging Trump to step aside for the good of the party. However, a defiant Trump said that he would never abandon his bid for the White House.
But in Louisiana, not so much. GOP elected officials and party officials have remained eerily quiet. Some have even reaffirmed their support of Trump, like Tony Perkins, head of the Family Research Council, one of the leaders of the right's evangelical movement, who said Trump is the better option of the two.
Duke, Maness don't make new CABL debate threshold; Edwards-Landry at odds, again
Maness, Duke left out
As we have said, the U.S. Senate contest appears to be a five-person race. Louisiana Public Broadcasting and the Council for a Better Louisiana (CABL) agrees.
For the first statewide televised debate, retired Air Force Col. Rob Maness and white supremacist David Duke did not make the cut, both Republicans.
Louisiana U.S. Senate Race polls: The House of Shocks
Another shocking Senate poll
On the heels of one shocking poll comes another. Last week we reported on a poll conducted by Baton Rouge pollster Southern Media and Opinion Research (SMOR).
Now comes a poll from JMC Analytics and Polling,, headed up by John Couvillion of Baton Rouge. But there is a big difference. The SMOR poll was an independent poll, paid for by businessmen, lobbyists, and others.
The JMC poll was apparently paid for by the John Fleming campaign, according to Steve Sabludowsky of Bayoubuzz.com and Tyler Bridges, a reporter for the Baton Rouge Advocate.
That shocking, competitive Louisiana US Senate race poll
Shocking Senate poll
A new poll on the U.S. Senate race released last week by Southern Media and Opinion Research (SMOR) of Baton Rouge has sent shock waves through the campaigns of some candidates.
Keep this in mind. Bernie Pinsonat of SMOR says the poll was paid for my business people, lobbyists, and others and that no campaigns were involved. So the poll is considered an independent one.
Battle brews between Boustany, Fleming in Louisiana US Senate Race
Fleming hits Boustany on two fronts
The alleged prostitution scandal aside, U.S. Rep. John Fleming, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, took a couple of different swings at U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany, his fellow GOP Senate candidate.
Murderous US Senate campaign on the Louisiana Bayou
There have been some punches thrown by some of the Republican candidates for the U.S. Senate, but with recent developments, the gloves are off. And, yes, that dreaded word "prostitute" has surfaced in this race just as it had in the governor's race.
Louisiana U.S. Senate race poll breakdown by region
Senate poll revisited
We reported last week on a recent poll on the U.S. Senate race in Louisiana conducted by the Hayride website in conjunction with Remington Research Group.
This week, we will look at the support the various candidates in the poll are receiving in different areas of the state as well as from political party respondents.

Q: When calculating the percentile manually, the 25th percentile is 14 for the dataset but when using NumPy it is 14.5
Image for reference.
When calculating the percentile manually, the 25th percentile is 14 for the dataset but when using NumPy it is 14.5.

A: As you yourself found, the 25th percentile of your data corresponds to element 2.75, which is not an integer. You explicitly chose to round the index rather than to interpolate the values.
Numpy, by default, linearly interpolates. You can pass a different choice of interpolation method using the method kwarg of np.percentile.

Q: Setting WooCommerce next/prev slider buttons to show products in Alphabetical Order A client of mine is asking me to make all products that are shown on the next/previous buttons on single product pages to show other products in alphabetical order.
I, of course haven't been able to make that happen and i have tried a lot of codes around.
I came across the pagination.php file which looks like this:

    <?php
        echo paginate_links( apply_filters( 'woocommerce_pagination_args', array(
            'base'         => esc_url_raw( str_replace( 999999999, '%#%', remove_query_arg( 'add-to-cart', get_pagenum_link( 999999999, false ) ) ) ),
            'format'       => '',
            'add_args'     => false,
            'current'      => max( 1, get_query_var( 'paged' ) ),
            'total'        => $wp_query->max_num_pages,
            //'prev_text'    => '«',
            //'next_text'    => '»',
            'prev_text'    => '',
            'next_text'    => '',
            'type'         => 'list',
            'end_size'     => 1,
            'mid_size'     => 1
        ) ) );
    ?>

Is there a way to edit this so the products that will be shown when clicking the next button to be on alphabetical order.
Here is a screenshot to show you what i mean:
check it out
From screenshot you will see that the next product show is something that starts with letter F when there is another product with letter A.
Thanks!!!

A: I think you should hook woocommerce_product_query to suite your needs.
function my_custom_product_query( $q ){
    $q->set('orderby', 'title'); // default 'menu_order title'
    $q->set('order', 'desc'); // default 'asc'
}

Let me know if it works, i cannot test it right now.

How Much Does A Colocation Server Cost?
What Is A Colocation Server And How Much Does It Cost?
A Colocation server is a web server that is located at a dedicated facility and has powerful resources. Those resources include a cabinet, regulated power, Internet connection, security, and support. The colocation server can help any organisation or company with their existing data. In fact, it deploys data and organises it in the data centre facility. The customer can operate the system on its own from afar by using the server services and applications. On the other hand, the MSP (Managed Service Provider) provides the space as well as the network resources for the customer.
So, how much does a colocation server cost? The answer is based on a few factors, such as the rack space, internet, support, and setup. Rack space is the amount of space that the server will occupy at the facility. Most of the time, rack servers take about 1-2Us of space. One unit equals 1.75 inches or 4,45cm. This is one of the main reasons why companies choose to go with colocation servers that are located at some other facilities. Making space is hard for smaller firms, so they'd rather stick to this option at another facility rather than making space on their own.
The Internet is another factor that will indicate the pricing of your colocation server. Most of the time, having a high bandwidth will be a must if you want your applications to function properly. Another factor is the support. Who will be monitoring the equipment? Colocation is not a self-managing service, and it requires a lot of caring and surveillance. Once you have all of these questions answered, you will be able to put a number on it.
What Is The Average Monthly Price Range?
Once you take all of these factors into consideration, you can calculate your average monthly consumption. On an average, just the rack space itself can come up anywhere starting from $100 to $300 per U per month. This price also includes the IP addresses as well as the pre-set allotment of bandwidths. When it comes to the server monitoring, this can run from $75 up to $400 per month. Implementation can also cost quite a lot, based on the number of servers that you will be bringing to the data centre. These can add up, on a rough estimate, anywhere from $500 to $3,000.
Is Colocation The Way To Go?
There's quite a bit to consider when you're looking to colocate your servers, starting from understanding them in depth, to justifying their cost. In case you are a larger firm that is on a lookout for a solution such as this one, colocation could be your way to go. However, if you are an at home blogger, then this might not be the right solution for you, and you might want to stick to Web hosting!

The Oklahoma City Thunder nabbed the most improbable win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night. Brandon Rahbar's recap covers the madness.
I still can't believe Chris Paul got a technical foul called on Jordan Bell and the T-Wolves:
holy shit here it is

I also can't believe that Steven Adams dropped this dime right into Dennis Schroder's breadbasket for the game-tying shot:
"The heave" (worth another ?)

Royce Young's (ESPN) recap of the Friday fun is worth a read. "I ain't never been a part of something like that," [Karl-Anthony' Towns said. "I've been a part of a lot of basketball games in my life, but never seen something like that happen. And I'm not talking about the call, I'm just talking about the execution of everything going down."
Joe Mussatto (The Oklahoman) also recounts the incredible final moments of the Thunder-Timberwolves game.
For an encore to the thrilling overtime win, the Thunder won just their third game away from Chesapeake Energy Arena on Sunday. Rahbar recaps the victory over the Portland Trailblazers.
Maddie Lee (The Oklahoman) delves into how the Thunder found a way to win in Portland. "The last time the Thunder came to Portland, it lost 136-119. The last time the Thunder came to Portland, the Trail Blazers made their first 12 shots. Not this time. On Sunday, Hassan Whiteside made the Trail Blazers' first shot. Then Portland guard Damian Lillard missed a 3-pointer. Thunder guard Abdel Nader drove to the rim, drew a foul and tied up the game with free throws. Lillard turned the ball over."
Don't look now, but OKC is currently the seventh seed in the Western Conference.

Marcus Kwesi O'Mard (NESN) reports that a Steven Adams for Gordon Hayward swap would "change the Eastern Conference." What's most interesting is that Amin Elhassan, a former front-office executive for the Pheonix Suns and now NBA analyst for ESPN, called Adams's contract "very affordable."
Royce Young appeared on the Ryen Russillo podcast and dished on, among other things, the Russell Westbrook for Chris Paul swap.
With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at times struggling with consistency, Maddie Lee (The Oklahoman) details the text message advice that SGA received from his trainer, Olin Simplis. "Olin Simplis promised Shai Gilgeous-Alexander two weeks ago that this was the last basketball-related text message of the year. 'Go back to being Shai,' it read."
ICYMI: Deonte Burton was suspended for one game for conduct detrimental to the team. Young reported that the suspension was the result of a locker room argument between Burton and a teammate after a loss to the Indiana Pacers. Word on the street the teammate was a Dennis a Schroder.
The University of Florida announced that their home basketball court will now be named after Billy Donovan.
It's official – our basketball court will be named after our former legendary coach, Billy Donovan. The dedication is set for our Feb. 15 home game against Vanderbilt. #BillyDonovanCourt #GoGators

Darius Bazley is playing a key role for the development of the New Balance basketball brand, writes Ruben Palacios (CBS Sports). "Bazley could've been like every other elite high school basketball player. He was a five-star recruit who at one point was committed to playing college basketball at Syracuse. Playing college ball wasn't in the cards for Bazley, who de-committed from Syracuse and decided his path to the NBA would be one of a kind. In a completely unprecedented development, Bazley signed a multi-year endorsement deal with New Balance in October of 2018 that included a three-month internship at the brand's Boston headquarters."
Speaking of Bazley, John Hollinger (The Athletic) mentions Bazley as one of the silver linings from the "train wreck" that is the 2019 draft class. "Bazley hasn't been productive, per se, but the Oklahoma City teenager has shown why the Thunder picked him – he can handle the ball well for his size, his shot isn't broken, and he's a decent athlete who can guard second-unit forwards. The skin-and-bones frame he showed as a high schooler is filling out, too. The Thunder are blessing him with rotation minutes despite his uneven early results, but he hasn't been so bad as to force their hand either."


Jiro Taniguchi, the creator of such manga as The Times of Botchan and Kodoku no Gourmet, passed away on Saturday. He was 69. His family is planning a private funeral service.
Taniguchi was born in Tottori City in western Japan in 1947. After working at a Western clothing wholesaler in Kyoto, he moved to Tokyo to pursue his aspirations of becoming a manga creator. At the age of 24, he made his debut with the manga Kareta Heya, and developed his signature style of fine line art and shading without ink. He published many works for grown-up readers, depicting the everyday lives of ordinary people.
The Times of Botchan, Taniguchi and writer Natsuo Sekikawa's fictionalized account of real-life Botchan author Soseki Natsume, earned the Japan Cartoonists Association Awards' Excellence Award and the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prizes' top honor. Taniguchi and story creator Masayuki Kusumi also published the Kodoku no Gourmet manga about a solitary salesman named Gorō Inagashira as he travels all over Japan and samples the local cuisine found on street corners. This manga inspired a popular live-action television series that just revealed a sixth season last month.
Overseas, Taniguchi's works received an Ignatz Award nomination in 2010 and several Eisner Award nominations from 2007 to 2010. Taniguchi himself was "knighted" as a chevalier in France's Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2011. Taniguchi's admirers include acclaimed film director Guillermo del Toro, and Taniguchi collaborated with another award-winning artist, Moebius, on the manga Icaro (Icare).
Taniguchi's manga with overseas editions include Guardians of the Louvre (Les Gardiens du Louvre), The Summit of the Gods (inspiration for a Japanese live-action film and a planned French CG film), A Distant Neighborhood (made into a live-action European film), The Walking Man, A Zoo in Winter, The Ice Wanderer, The Quest for the Missing Girl, Samurai Legend, Hotel Harbour View, and Benkei in New York.
Solo he tenido la oportunidad de leer de él El Almanaque de mi padre y me pareció un manga excepcional.
Pues yo juraría que no he leído nada de este hombre, pero se nos ha ido uno de los grandes sin duda.
Era un grande. "El almanaque de mi padre" es de obligada lectura por todo aquel que diga que le gusta leer no solo mangas, sino cómics en general.

Netflix toy series returns to school you on Transformers, LEGO, Hello Kitty and Star Trek
The Netflix documentary series "The Toys That Made Us" returns with four new episodes on May 25.
When it comes to toys, Queens-born producer Brian Volk-Weiss isn't playing around.
As wildfires threatened his Los Angeles home earlier this year, he only had time to grab a few things before he and his family were forced to flee. And what did he take? Three of his toys.
"Forgot our passports, forgot our laptops," Volk-Weiss tells the Daily News. "But I did take my Millennium Falcon, which is probably worth about nine dollars."
These Hello Kitty knick-knacks will be featured on the Netflix series, "The Toys That Made Us." (Courtesy of Netflix)
Volk-Weiss turned that love of toys into the Netflix documentary series, "The Toys That Made Us," which returns with four new episodes on May 25.
"I love toys, it's pretty much my only hobby," says Volk-Weiss, who's 41 and is CEO of Nacelle and Comedy Dynamics. "I have a huge collection at home that basically started off when I was a little kid."
Transformers get some love in "The Toys That Made Us," returning to Netflix on May 25. (Courtesy of Netflix)
He developed the series because, he said, there simply wasn't a proper history of these wildly popular play things he loves so much.
"There's dozens, and dozens, and dozens of books about the War of 1812, and I'm not trying to say the War of 1812 isn't important, but there's nothing about Transformers, and Transformers is so important to so many people, from age 50 down to age 10, and there are very few books about it," Volk-Weiss says.
Netflix will drop the next four episodes of "The Toys That Made Us" on May 25, featuring Star Trek figures and more. (Courtesy of Netflix)
The first four episodes of "The Toys That Made Us" debuted last year. They told the toy stories of Star Wars, G.I. Joe, He-Man and Barbie. Now the series is returning with a quartet of new episodes, this time to highlight Transformers, LEGO, Hello Kitty and "Star Trek."
"There'd been a million documentaries about 'Star Trek,' but there hadn't been anything about 'Star Trek' toys," he said. "And it's a great story."

Swedish amusement park criticized for sign describing Sami as 'primitive'

An amusement park in southern Sweden has been criticized after a visitor noticed that one of their signs described the Sami people as remnants of a "primitive" race.
Swedish media picked up on the sign after Max Entin, who was visiting the park, shared it on Twitter along with the caption "Earlier in the summer we visited Äventyrsland in Halmstad. Here is their view of Sami people".
Tidigare i somras besökte vi Äventyrslandet i Halmstad. Här är deras syn på samer. pic.twitter.com/HK8Og1f4le
— Max Entin (@maxentin) August 4, 2017
The sign, placed in the 'Miniland' part of the park where there are miniature representations of Sweden, starts by giving a general description of northernmost region Norrland, before going on to say "Norrland is the country of midnight sun and the Northern Lights as well as the Lapps".
"The Lapps or Sami are a mysterious people in their origins. Nowadays one is inclined to regard the Sami as a remnant of a primitive Palearctic race who had been living on this side of the Ural mountains," it continues.
"I was surprised this kind of text could be found on such a newly written sign," Entin explained to The Local about his decision to share the photograph on Twitter.
Stefan Mjellander, who works in the marketing department at Halmstad Äventyrsland, said the text is old and was accidentally transferred to the new sign in 2015.
"The texts on our signs and decorations are old, and there was a mistake when we took the old material in 2015 and copied the text to the new design. Our attention was drawn to the contents when Aftonbladet called. We don't know who wrote the original text as it came from the previous owner, but the sign has been taken away and will be changed next season," he told The Local.
"The reason why we didn't notice it earlier is simply that no one said anything before, and our various signs in Miniland are about buildings, so never in our world did we think there would be this kind of description of the Sami. It's a mistake from our side. It's of course unfortunate and we don't agree with the view of the Sami that the sign describes."
"We apologize to everyone who saw the contents of the sign and we have taken action," he concluded.
READ ALSO: Campaign highlights 'everyday racism' against Sami people
In March, Sami language broadcasters Sameradion and SVT Sápmi ran a three-day campaign encouraging people with a Sami background to share the everyday racism they have experienced both online and in person in Sweden.
"It could be for example if a Sami person is called a 'Lapp', a word that we don't use about ourselves," the project's head Katarina Hällgren told The Local at the time.
"Things a person in the majority says that they don't think are problematic, but leave the person subjected to them feeling uneasy. In many cases this is done through ignorance and through reproducing stereotypes."

The following table summarizes the pharmaceuticals that have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of Chronic Overlapping Pain Conditions (COPCs). None of these treatments are indicated for more than one COPC, although several are used off-label to treat a number of the conditions. No approved treatments exist at this time for five of the disorders – vulvodynia, temporomandibular disorders, chronic tension-type headache, myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome and chronic low back pain.
Given the widespread prevalence and financial toll, significant rates of overlap, similar symptom presentation, common underlying disease mechanisms and appreciable unmet treatment demand, there is a tremendous opportunity for research and development of safe and effective treatments for COPCs.

Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika gave the green light to promote the nuclear energy for peaceful purposes in the fields of medicine and scientific research.
This came during a meeting of the Council of Ministers to discuss several files and to ratify several resolutions, including the draft law on nuclear activities, which will allow Algeria to use this energy in the fields of scientific research, especially medicine. The law is part of a nuclear strategy aimed at diversifying energy sources in the country in preparation for the start-up of nuclear energy by including it in Algeria's 2030/2050 energy mix.
Algeria has two nuclear reactors, the first in the Algerian capital of Draria and the second in the southern state of Djelfa, which they exploit as part of its peaceful nuclear energy development program.
Algeria also established a National Institute of Nuclear Engineering in 2011 to ensure specialized training in nuclear engineering and various fields of interest in the operation of nuclear reactors and nuclear power plants, as well as the establishment of a training and support center for nuclear security in 2012.
The Algerian government is counting on developing its nuclear activities to countries such as China, Argentina, Russia and the United States of America, as well as in partnership with the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Then came the moment in 2015 "when the skies crashed." On April 25, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck, killing nearly 9,000 people, injuring more than 20,000 and wrecking over 750,000 homes, including his own. Within hours, he and his family were among the millions who were displaced….

Rough puff pastry is the shortcut method to a light flaky pastry in the fraction of the time it takes to prepare traditional puff pastry. Although you may not achieve the same height and puffiness, this gluten free rough puff pastry recipe will still deliver a beautiful buttery flaky pastry. You no longer have to pass on your favourite pastries at all those parties just because you have a gluten allergy. Bring on the Pork, Apple & Sage Sausage Rolls and Greek Spanakopita I say.
When ingredient shopping be careful not to confuse potato starch with potato flour, they are not the same thing. Potato starch is made from the dried starch component of potatoes and has no potato flavour. It creates a beautiful light fluffy texture in baked goods. Potato flour is a heavy cream flour made from whole potatoes and has a distinct potato flavour. I tend to bake exclusively with potato starch.
All ingredients and utensils should be as cold as possible. Ensure your butter is very cold or even frozen. If you do freeze the butter ensure you cube it first otherwise you may lose some fingers. You need those!
The initial dough should be rough looking like the picture above. Visible chunks of butter are a good thing in puff pastry. When the visible pieces of butter melt in a hot oven oven they help create a flaky texture so don't overwork the butter into the pastry dough.
Roll the dough as thinly as possible between two sheets of baking paper when ready to use to ensure your cooked pastry is crispy and not gluggy.
Cook puff pastry at a high temperature of at least 200C to achieve maximum lift.
As you can see rough puff pastry is not as daunting as people think and the great news is your pastry skills definitely improve with every attempt. If your dough is too sticky at any point just add a little more flour and remember to always flour your rolling pin to avoid dough sticking to it.
Now it's your turn my gluten free pastry bakers. Get rolling!
Put the cornflour, potato starch, sorghum flour, xantham gum and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine.
Add the cold butter and pulse until mixture is combined but chunks of butter are still visible.
With the motor running add chilled water and mix until just combined.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a rectangle. Roll the dough in one direction into a 20 x 50cm rectangle. You still want to see butter streaks so don't overwork the butter. Fold the top and bottom short edges to meet at the centre then fold pastry in half. Wrap in cling film and rest in fridge for 30 min.
Repeat the roll and fold 2 more times. Wrap pastry in cling film and rest for another 30 min.
When ready to use roll out pastry between two sheets of baking paper to produce a thin pastry sheet which will deliver a flakier texture.
Put the cornflour, potato starch, sorghum flour, xantham gum and salt in Thermomix and combine 3 sec/speed 4.
Add the cold butter and mix 5 sec/speed 4 until mixture is combined but chunks of butter are still visible.
With the motor running add chilled water and mix 5 sec/speed 3 until just combined.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a rectangle. Roll the dough in one direction into a 20 x 50cm rectangle. You still want to see butter streaks so don't overwork the butter. Fold the top and bottom short edges to meet at the centre then fold pastry in half and wrap in cling film. Rest in fridge for 30 min.
Thank you Hannah so glad you enjoyed my gluten free rough puff pastry recipe. Enjoy!!
I love this recipe. So easy and even my gluten eating boyfriend said it was amazing . A true test of deliciousness. The first time I didnt have corn flour and used GF custard powder and it worked well too as a sweet pastry for apple strudel. Thank you so much!!
Caroline I'm so glad you love my gluten free pastry recipe. Sounds like you have been quite creative with it, enjoy!
I have not made it with margarine but it should still work. Enjoy!
