A "trembling" Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD), also known as parkinsonism, is a complex neurodegenerative disease (also known as cognitive disorder) second only to Alzheimer's disease [1], which mainly affects the neurons of dopamine production (dopaminergic) in specific areas of the brain (substantia nigra). The disease can cause progressive dyskinesia and non-dyskinesia. Clinical symptoms are bradykinesia, trembling at rest or stiffness [2].

Parkinsonism is a term for a disease that has similar symptoms to Parkinson's disease. Mainly includes the following types:
1.1 Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease
It is the most common type of parkinsonism. Idiopathic means that the cause is unknown. The main symptoms of idiopathic Parkinson's are tremor, rigidity (stiffness) and slowness of movement.
1.2 Vascular Parkinsonism
Vascular parkinsonism (also known as arteriosclerotic parkinsonism) affects people with restricted blood supply to the brain - usually older people who have health issues such as diabetes. The main symptoms are difficulty walking, urinary incontinence and memory problems.
1.3 Drug-Induced Parkinsonism
A small percentage (about 7%) of people who diagnosed with Parkinson's disease develop symptoms after receiving specific medications.
1.4 Other Types of Parkinsonism
Multiple system atrophy (MSA)
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is an adult-onset, sporadic neurodegenerative disease. Its clinical manifestations include autonomic nerve dysfunction, Parkinson's syndrome, cerebellar ataxia and pyramidal tract signs.
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP)
Progressive supranuclear palsy affects eye movement, balance, movement, speech and swallowing. It is sometimes called the Steele - Richards - Olszewski syndrome.
The symptoms of normal pressure hydrocephalus mainly affect the lower body. Common symptoms are difficulty walking, urinary incontinence and memory problems.
Figure 1 Diseases easily confused with Parkinson's
2.1 Datas
Epidemiology showed that the prevalence rate was 15 ~ 328/100,000 population, and about 1% of > 65-year-old population. The incidence is 10 to 21 per 100,000 population per year. In the United States, the incidence is 21 cases per 100,000 people [3]. Given the increase in global life expectancy, the number of people affected by Parkinson's disease and the consequent personal, social and economic burden are expected to increase dramatically by 2030 [4]. By 2020, nearly one million people in the United States will have Parkinson's disease, and about 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease each year. More than 10 million people worldwide suffer from Parkinson's disease.
2.2 Facts
Age: Parkinson's disease occurs mainly in the elderly, although Parkinson can be developed among young people, but it is estimated that only 4% of people with Parkinson's disease were diagnosed before the age of 50. The average age of onset of Parkinson's disease is 60 years, and its incidence increases with age.
Gender: Men are 1.5 times more likely than women to have Parkinson's disease.
People with Parkinson's disease in their parents or siblings may double their chance of developing Parkinson's disease because of genetic mutations.
Race: There is a racial difference in prevalence, with whites being the highest, followed by yellows and blacks being the lowest.
Figure 2 Facts about Parkinson's disease
2.3 The Case of Parkinson Disease
When famous people disclose their illness, it helps to raise people's attention to the disease and increase their awareness and understanding of the disease.
Muhammad Ali (diagnosed as 1984) was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease three years after he left the boxing campaign. He has raised awareness of Parkinson's disease worldwide and helped establish the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center in Phoenix, Arizona.
Michael j fox (diagnosed in 1991) is one of the world's most famous patients with Parkinson's disease. He devoted his life to the further development of Parkinson's research and established the Michael j fox Parkinson research foundation.
Brian Grant (diagnosed as Parkinson's disease in 2008) and established the Brian Grant Foundation to help others do the same.
In addition, George H. Bush, Billy Connolly, Alan Arda, Neil Diamond and Pat Torpey were also diagnosed as Parkinson.
There are several theories:
Mitochondrial dysfunction;
Oxidative stress;
Abnormal aggregation of proteins;
Immunoinflammatory mechanisms.
In conclusion, multiple factors in the above pathogenesis synergize, mutually cause and effect each other, and the vicious cycle leads to selective destruction of substantia nigra neurons, neurobiochemical changes such as dopamine synthesis and secretion reduction, as well as a series of changes in basal ganglia loop, and eventually a variety of clinical manifestations of Parkinson's disease.
3.1 Parkinson's Disease Causes
Although the etiology of Parkinson's disease is still under investigation and has not been fully established, the absence of neurotransmitter dopamine is the main cause. It is also related to genetic factors, environmental factors, patient factors and so on.
Figure 3 The main cause of Parkinson's disease
Genetic Factors
Pathogenic mutations of autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease genes SNCA, LRRK2 and VPS35 account for about 0.1% to 30% of Parkinson's disease, which depends on family history, age of onset and population background [5] [6].
Autosomal recessive inheritance: PARK7, PINK1, PRKN.
Mutations in the gene encoding glucocerebrosidase are the strongest genetic risk factors for this disease [7].
The enrichment of rare inherited variation in the pathway controlling mitochondrial DNA replication and repair influences the risk of PD,Most mutations in genes that cause familial PD, including SNCA [8], LRRK2, PINK1, PRKN, and VPS35, have been shown to disrupt mitochondrial quality control. The induction of Parkinson phenotype in zebrafish larvae supports the contribution of mitochondrial superoxide generation to PD development [9].
Nervous system problems: supranuclear palsy, Wilson's disease, Huntington's disease, Haller Walden-Spartz syndrome, and Alzheimer's disease can also cause Parkinson's disease.
Brain injury: traumatic brain injury, which causes changes in consciousness levels, increases the risk of PD in the years following injury [10].
Living area: there are differences in the geographical distribution of PD. This may be due to differences in environmental and genetic risk factors.
Occupations: certain occupational categories or titles are associated with higher rates of PD. Stress at work increases the risk of Parkinson's disease.
Pesticide exposure: Pesticides (including cypermethrin and hexachlorocyclohexane) have been reported most consistently in all chemical exposures associated with Parkinson's disease.
Contact with metals: Occupational exposure to various metals is considered to be related to the development of PD.
Patient Factor
Age: is the biggest risk factor for Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease mainly affects the elderly, especially those between the ages of 55 and 65.
Gender: men are more likely than women to develop Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's disease has a classic progressive stage. Symptoms of PD are usually divided into five stages: early stage, primary exercise, secondary exercise, primary and secondary non-exercise symptoms [11].
Figure 4 Five stages of Parkinson's disease
4.1 Early Signs of Parkinson's Disease
Tremor: tremor at rest is a common early symptom of Parkinson's disease.
Small handwriting.
Loss of smell.
Sleep problems.
Difficulty moving or walking.
Soft or low voice, research indicates that as many as 89% of patients living With Parkinson's disease (PD) develop speech signs [12].
Masked face.
Dizziness or fainting.
Bent over or hunched.
4.2 Clinical Manifestation
Parkinson's Disease Motor Symptoms
Resting tremor (arm, lower limb tremor), bradykinesia, muscle rigidity (face stiffness or limb stiffness) and posture gait disorder. As the disease progresses, further gait defects may occur, such as hesitation, transition, and frozen gait at the beginning of the exercise.
Parkinson's Disease Non Motor Symptoms
Early satiety
Fatigue [13]
Hallucinations [14] and delusions
Mood disorders (depression, anxiety, apathy and irritability)
Urinary problems (urgent, frequent, incontinence)
Sexual problems, such as erectile dysfunction
The incidence of Parkinson's disease increases with age, with 1% of people over 65 years old and 3% of people over 80 years old affected [15]. Young Onset Parkinson Disease (YOPD) occurs in people under 50 years of age. In rare cases, Parkinson-like symptoms may occur in children and adolescents. People diagnosed with YOPD have a more frequent family history of Parkinson's disease and a longer survival period.
Figure 5 Symptoms of Parkinson's disease
If you're worried that you might have Parkinson's disease, you should see a Parkinson's specialist for a diagnosis.
5.1 How Parkinson's Disease Is Diagnosed?
The disease is difficult to diagnose, especially in its early stages, and it is often diagnosed through medical history assessments, neurological tests, and in some cases, brain scans or laboratory tests.
Investigate Symptoms
Clinicians should perform a complete neurological examination of patients with suspected Parkinson's disease. Special attention should be paid to the assessment of extraocular movements, facial expressions, volume, torso and limb movement speed, muscle tone and gait [16].
If you have at least two of the following three symptoms, you may be diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
Some part of the body usually only trembles when resting
Slow movement (slow movement)
Muscle stiffness (stiffness)
Response to Parkinson's Drugs
If your symptoms improve after taking a drug called levodopa, you are more likely to develop Parkinson's disease.
A dopamine transporter chemical scan, known as a Dat Spect Scan.
Lumbar puncture (surgical transfer of spinal fluid).
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) brain scan.
Electrical recording of the urethra or anal sphincters (EMG).
Special brain scans, such as single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), may also be performed in some cases to rule out other causes of your symptoms.
In addition, scientists are looking for ways to identify PD's biomarkers that can lead to earlier diagnoses and more targeted treatments to slow the disease's progression. Eyesight abnormalities in Parkinson's disease have potential value as biomarkers [17].
If you're a Parkinson's patient or suspected of Parkinson's, you can contact Parkinson UK, Parkinson supports and research charities.

5.2 Parkinson's Disease Assessment Tools
Hoehn & Yahr scale: The severity of Parkinson's disease is generally assessed using a Hoehn & Yahr (H&Y) scale. Clinicians use it to describe the progression of motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease. The symptoms are divided into 1 to 5 levels. In this scale, 1 and 2 represent early, 2 and 3 represent metaphase, and 4 and 5 represent advanced Parkinson's disease.
The unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS) is a more comprehensive tool for describing non-motor symptoms, including mental function, emotional and social interactions, cognitive difficulties, daily activity, and treatment complications.
Treatment can be divided into non-drug treatment and drug treatment, surgical treatment.
6.1 Medical Treatment
Parkinson's disease medications list:
Anticholinergic drugs
Compound levodopa
DR agonist
MAO - B inhibitors
6.2 Surgical Treatment
Such as deep brain stimulation or tissue resection.
6.3 Non - Pharmacological Treatments
Non - pharmacological treatments includes awareness and understanding of the disease, nutritional supplements, exercise enhancement, confidence in combating the disease, and understanding, care and support from society and family.
Natural Treatment of Parkinson's Disease
A healthy and balanced diet can improve overall health. Many people with Parkinson's disease, including the famous advocate Michael J. Fox, say that a healthy diet helps to alleviate symptoms.
Parkinson's disease diet: The ketogenic diet may even be beneficial for diabetes, cancer, epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease [18] [19]; Green tea may have a protective effect on neurons; people who drink coffee [20] are at a much lower risk of developing Parkinson's disease.
Supplements: Certain supplements may help reduce Parkinson's symptoms, including:
Vitamins C, E and D
Coenzyme 10
Ω - 3 fatty acids
Increase fiber intake to reduce constipation.
Reduce toxicity and chemical exposure: Studies have shown that rural living, well water exposure, pesticide and herbicide exposure are all linked to Parkinson's disease, so eating more or all organic food is very beneficial and protective. Chelation also helps reduce the accumulation of heavy metals and the presence of other toxins.
Exercise therapy may be helpful in improving the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and even delaying the progression of the disease [21]. Patients with Parkinson's disease often have gait freezing, posture balance disorder, language and/or dysphagia, and can perform rehabilitation or exercise training according to different mobility disorders. Perform language barrier training, gait training, posture balance training, etc. Exercise and physical therapy are key to gait and balance symptoms that cannot be improved with medication.
Patients with Parkinson's disease often have psychological disorders such as depression, which is one of the main risk factors affecting the quality of life of patients. Therefore, effective psychological counseling and antidepressant medication for patients with Parkinson's disease can achieve a more satisfactory therapeutic effect.
In addition, there are music therapy [22] and speech therapy for Parkinson's disease [23].
Future Directions for Parkinson's Treatment
Gene therapy may be a promising PD treatment strategy. In recent years, several gene therapy methods for PD have entered clinical trials. Some gene therapy methods for PD include:
AADC-TH-GCH gene therapy
Viral vector-mediated gene delivery
RNA interference therapy
CRISPRS-CAS9 gene editing system

Georgiy Gogonenkov
Georgiy Gogonenkov was honored with SEG Life Membership for his contribution to Moscow '92, the historic first geophysical meeting and exposition between SEG and the Russian exploration geophysics community, and for his role in forming the Russian Section of SEG. Without Georgiy's leadership and organizational support, neither of these significant milestones in the globalization of SEG would have taken place.
Biography Citation for SEG Life Membership
Contributed by A. S. Kashik
There are lucky people whose profession is their hobby. That describes Georgiy Gogonenkov— doctor of science; associate member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences; and senior deputy general director, Central Geophysical Expedition (the main geophysical center under the Russian Ministry for Fuel and Energy). Although he has long ranked with the most prominent geophysicists in Russia (author of three monographs and 120 other publications, and holder of several patents), he retains a keen interest in his profession and will spend hours and hours studying seismic sections and geologic data, reading the latest publications, or ardently discussing possible directions along which geophysics should develop. He currently spearheads a team of researchers, mostly his former students, and is widely known among scholars and production experts in CIS countries as a scientific authority in hydrocarbon exploration.
After graduation with honors in 1960 from the Sverdlovsk City Mining Institute, Georgiy started working in the VolgaUral Division of VNIIGeofizika's Research Institute. The major activity was designing and developing well logging methods and tools. Georgiy, however, had become interested in seismic exploration during his student days and immediately began seeking new ways to combine seismic exploration and well logging. While heading a team of young professionals, he was the first in the Soviet Union to develop software for generating synthetic seismograms and techniques for using them in seismic interpretation. He published a series of articles on multidimensional seismic filtering, iterative determination of layer velocities from CDP data, and multiple suppression.
In 1974 Georgiy was invited to join CGE. He played a major role in establishing regional computerized processing centers on the premises of geophysical companies in the USSR's oil-producing regions. He oversaw development of data processing software and the training of hundreds of data processing engineers. By the 1980s, CGE-developed software had become the basic, universally accepted seismic data processing system in the USSR. It was also extensively used in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, East Germany, Cuba, and India. For these substantial contributions to the development of geophysics in his country, Georgiy and his collaborators received the USSR State Prize, its highest award in science and technology. At this time he began to focus on creating methods and software to extract structural details of productive zones from seismic data. His scientific creativity of those years was summarized in his 1983 doctoral dissertation.
When the Iron Curtain that isolated the former USSR from the rest of the world was lifted in 1989, Georgiy became active in establishing contacts with western oilmen. He was one of those who initiated and actively participated in presentations by the USSR Oil Ministry in Houston and London in order to attract western oil companies to do business in USSR and later in Russia.
In late 1991 Georgiy was invited to meet with SEG representatives to discuss participation by Russian geophysicists in SEG activities and joint sponsorship of SEG conferences in Moscow. That meeting and the vigorous, hard, and team-spirited work that followed brought splendid results: SEG International Conferences and Expositions were held in Moscow in 1992, 1993, and 1995. Each was attended by more than 1000 professionals. Georgiy was a member of the organizing committee for all the key events in promoting professional and friendly ties among the geophysicists of different countries. Georgiy's deep professional knowledge, erudition, even temper, and friendly attitude, along with his popularity and prestige in Russia and abroad enabled him to play an invaluable role in integrating Russia into the world's scientific community and facilitating much broader international activity by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists.

Everyone knows that being active is good for our bodies and that exercise in general will keep us healthier. But what about those people who suffer from a specific medical condition?
Are there special exercises such as Warwick Pilates to expertly help alleviate their condition? Let's take a look at what can be done for those with tendinitis, where there is an inflammation of a tendon.
The benefits of physiotherapy for those suffering from tendinitis include the recovery of mobility and grateful relief from inflammation and pain. A health care specialist can teach his or her patients how to handle this painful condition through specific methods of exercise and suitable work habits.
The majority of medical professionals believe that tendinitis is usually caused by constant motion strain and overusing joints.
The type of physiotherapy for tendinitis involves the teaching of methods which make for a reduction in stress on those same joints.
Plus, to emphasise strengthening exercises, most physical therapists teach their patients on the significance of the best ergonomics at work or home.
Ask anyone who is afflicted and they will immediately tell you that tendinitis is indeed a very painful condition. It usually affects tendons of the elbow, shoulder, hips, or knee, with symptoms including chronic or recurring pain, inflammation and numbness of an afflicted area.
If, for example, somebody were to develop rotator cuff shoulder tendinitis, they will find it hard to lift their arms above their head.
Physiotherapy for people with tendinitis of their shoulder is made to bolster the rotator cuff, increase blood circulation, and re-establish blood flow to the area. Afterwards, there will be an experience of freer movement and less pain.
Tendinitis physiotherapy of any type will normally mean having to educate people on do's and don'ts. They will have to learn how they can prevent further damage to the area and also shown what methods can be carried out to try and repair the injury.
There are other techniques of treatment which can include using heat or ice, or both treatments in turns.
Because the vast majority of cases of tendinitis happen due to work-related injuries, the health care specialist will usually teach how proper ergonomics will reduce any strain.
One more benefit of taking part in physiotherapy for tendinitis is being given access to specialised exercise equipment.
One helpful piece of apparatus is commonly known as an upper body ergometer.
This machine has changeable resistance and helps to strengthen the shoulders and increase mobility.
It is extremely helpful for those with shoulder tendinitis.
Manual physiotherapy for those with tendinitis is yet another method for helping sufferers. This includes the likes of massage therapy and acupuncture for those patients with joint and tendon inflammation.
If you're looking for relief and an improved condition, simply go online and with a few clicks of your mouse, you will be heading in the right direction!


How to connect to securised REST API with SSL through a proxy ?
I try to connect to a REST API securised with SSL through a proxy .
But the component tSetProxy in https mode doesn't provide authentification parameters (user/mdp).
In snapshot attached, there is one solution for this use case.
Is there a best way for this achieve this goal ?
Re: How to connect to securised REST API with SSL through a proxy ?
If you are trying to call a rest service with a self signed certificate, you need to have the certificate installed as "trusted" or the connections will fail.
Are you able to successfully import the certificate?
Yes, I've already import the certificate on my trustore and I refere to it with the tSetKeystore component.
because I have to authenticate to the proxy and I can't do this with the tSetproxy in https mode.
I have exactly the same problem. Does someone find a solution ?
On the advanced tab of tRestClient, there is a section where you can add proxy details. Could you please use trestclient instead?
Thank you for your reply but I know the option. My problem is to use https proxy in a generic way (also with tMicrosoftInputCRM for instance).
It depends on your Online CRM authentication mechanism. Are you able to set studio proxy to make other proxy works?

A spotlight on Open Education: A nation-wide school without walls
At Moodle, we believe education should be recognised as a fundamental human right and everyone deserves to have easy access to comprehensive, quality education. Our mission is to bring quality education everywhere; to innovate within the Edtech space with our technology and collaborate with our global partner network. We've partnered with Tamarind Tree, a school based in India for the local indigenous children, covering kindergarten all the way up to Grade 10, that has been operating on open hardware, open software, and open content largely driven by Moodle LMS. The advantage of using Moodle Tamarind Tree Founder Michelle Chawla, believes that a large part of the reason why their organisation was attracted to Moodle was due to its open source nature. When it comes to tools such as Moodle, Big Blue Button, and H5P, the knowledge and the codes are free. This means educators can reuse, remix, and adapt these tools as they see fit for their curriculum. The fluid nature of open source technology is especially crucial as Tamarind Tree runs a completely open education model encompassing around 125 learners. Courses are customised for its learners, teachers are trained to build their own content, and then these are released...
Somali refugee pursues ME degree from 12,000km away in Kenya's Dadaab refugee camp
Abdikadir Abikar is a Somali refugee pursuing his Master of Education (MEd) from York University in Toronto, Canada, more than 12,000km away from the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya where Abdikadir studies along with 6 other refugees. Every day, Abdikadir walks for almost two hours to the computer lab in Dadaab, where he connects to online learning platforms like Moodle and Coursera that allow him to study and also to speak to his classmates and professors and feel part of the campus life.

What To Use For Toenail Fungus?
Are you confused about what to use for toenail fungus? Well, it depends on whether or not you want to use some type of prescription or over the counter type medication or if you want to stick with natural type products.
Some people decide that they would rather spend their money and time testing home remedies but it's safe to say that many of them end up back at the starting point after a few weeks. Below are a few tips to get you thinking.
1. Natural Toenail Fungus killers like Zeta Clear and Fungisil are very popular. These products are obtained by ordering online and are not available via retail stores. They contain ingredients like oil of oregano, tea tree oil, and undecyclenic acid to help stop the growth of nail fungus.
2. Prescription drugs via your doctor may be an option for severe nail fungus by using things like Lamisil tablets. Be warned that some of these drugs are quite harsh, especially when it comes to the liver. There are also some over the counter creams like Lamisil AT that you may investigate with a local pharmacist.
3. Laser toenail fungus continues to pop up as a viable option. It only takes about 45 minutes to an hour for the average treatment but the cost is a bit steep at more than $1000 per visit. The Pinpointe laser is currently the leader in the market.
4. Home remedies are not our top recommendation but they are still shared quite often via the web. Listerine, Apple Cider Vinegar, and Vicks Vaporub seem to lead the pack in getting votes for nail fungus.
Be advised that any success from these is probably going to show for people with surface toenail fungus versus the more common type that is under the nail and inside your nail bed. The natural antifungal oil based products mentioned above are far more effective.

I arrived back at home to catch up on everything and lo and behold IT IS MY PHIFERS.
My day could not get any better.
Dames is on page 13 so go look at him all you want XD.
I imagine she's going to save the emosets and all until Wolf Hall actually enters beta, because she's got to keep something back.
I have really liked all the new character designs other than Ellen, so give my props to the illustrator (and maybe you told her to do that on purpose, given the arc of Ellen's development). But I do like the Horse Hall style of uniforms better still.
Is Wolf Hall still going to have a character gen for the protagonist, or are you going to have a static hero this time? I love the options character gen gives, but then it becomes very problematic to do even cutesy chibi CGs (like the death CGs from LLtQ). I would love to see job ending chibi CGs, (any maybe 'most likely' ones too) because it'd give you something else to try to unlock.
Yes, you will still be able to design your own character.
;O Will the body shape still be customizable?
He looks wonderfully -- well, like a high school senior who talks to stuffed rabbits.
Is Angela a love interest this time? It would be exciting trying to melt her cold, cold (brutal) heart.
Also, Jacob looks like a criminal. Do you see that face? It is the face of a criminal.
I like Angela's pic better in this one. If she is a romanceable character, I hope she'll end up likeable in the end. I never did end up liking her in Horse Hall. She had too much of that snobby attitude.
The look on Big Steve's face cracked me up!
I hope we'll still get to give him Mr. Hoppity or maybe some other stuffed toy.

Haverhill MA 01830 – My name is Apple and I was rescued just in the knick of time from the ACC shelter in NYC. The awesome people at AmsterDog pulled me and I was on my way to MA to my foster family.
I'm estimated to be about 6-8 months old, so I think I'll pick January 1, 2014 as my birthday, and I weigh 40 pounds. I am learning sit, down, stay, wait, easy and off. Oh and roll over. Sometimes I think my name is "no", because my foster family is always saying that to me. Geesh! Can't a girl have a little fun?! I can win over my foster mom with my sad little face but, my foster dad doesn't fall for it. He's too smart and tells me it's for my own good so I grow up to be a well-mannered lady.
I have a bigger foster brother, Harvey. He too was rescued by AmsterDog 6+ years ago. He's very patient of me when we go on walks. I'm still in training when it comes to going on walks. My Foster dad is teaching me "heal" and "no pull" but I'm not always good at paying attention. There's just so much to see like the birds, the butterflies, the grass, the bugs… let's face it, I'm young and sometimes can be a big knucklehead! I don't mean to be. It's just great to be free and young and safe! Life is good!
I went on vacation with my foster family for 4th of July and learned what water is. Meh, It's OK. I think I just need more time to get the used to it and it needs to be warmer! Brrrrrr! Frankly, I preferred to stay on the rocks and watch all the people. I might have the potential to be a therapy dog because I was so calm and chill when all the little kids were doting over me. I love to meet new people too. It's just so exciting!
They also took me hiking in the White Mountains and I got my very own little back pack. All I carried was my poop bags. Actually it didn't bother me one bit and everyone commented on how cute I was 🙂 I was soooooo tired after that hike! Once in the car I was out cold! I'm very good about riding in the car too. Usually I'll just sleep or watch the world go by from the back seat.
If you're looking for a Snuggle Bunny… That's me! I love, love, love to snuggle with my foster mom! And she likes it to 😉 Speaking of bunnies… My foster family has 2 bunnies. I see them every day behind the gate in their room. They're interesting little creatures and I would like to meet them, but for now I'm told I can only see them from afar. Most of the time I'll sit and watch them for a bit and then mosey on my way. So I may be good with smaller animals in the house, but we would have to see.
Being a puppy still, I'm going to need a strong leader and someone who can work with me and continue to work on my commands. I think I would be great as a little sister dog because I love to meet new dogs and love to PLAY! I do like plating fetch but when I'm done, I'll get the ball and just flop where ever I am. I won't bring it back at that point. Nope! I'm done! My foster dad says that may be I'd be a good Frisbee dog. But not so much a good runner dog. I do have lots of energy, but I don't think running is my thing.
So Peeps… If you are looking for a silly, good-natured, Snuggle Bunny who loves to meet new people and dogs, well I just may be your girl!
Additional photos can be found on Apple's Facebook page.

This is a view of Launch Complex 37 about 3 hours after the launch of the NROL37 atop a DeltaIV Heavy. It took longer than normal to clear the pad for us to pick up our cameras because there was a fire near the flame trench outlet (further down the road, to the right of the pad). When we were finally allowed out to pick up our cameras, we found quite a debris field. My remote setup fared rather well - it is the 2nd tripod from the left in the group of 5 tripods shown here near the lower middle of the frame. It is leaning to the left, but proudly not toppled completely.

History Has Its Eyes on Amanda Gorman
I am not American. But that doesn't mean that what we saw today in Washington, DC wasn't significant to me. What happens in America has an impact on the entire world. And so, to you Americans out there reading this, please know that there were many of us not of the same nationality who were feeling the emotions. Really, really emotional. A Black and South Asian daughter of immigrants is now the first ever female Vice President of the United States of America. We'll have more on Kamala Harris and Joe Biden's inauguration later. For now…
Let's talk about the rise of a new star. A star who performed after two global superstars. Her name is Amanda Gorman, now the youngest inaugural poet in American history – and my GOD did she crush it. Her poem is called "The Hill We Climb". It was just short of six minutes. Six exhilarating minutes of wordplay, pleasure, pain, but most of all purpose. This young woman showcased her gift on the biggest possible stage, celebrating the power of language, proving that language can heal and inspire and unite.
Amanda Gorman, 22, is the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history, as she performs at the 59th Presidential Inauguration.✊🏿 (Via @ABC) pic.twitter.com/LNJe6gprSZ
— Andscape (@andscape) January 20, 2021
I have now spent the last hour, when I should have been working, reading everything I can about Amanda Gorman. The New York Times featured her in a piece yesterday. As did NPR. Both articles go into how she crafted her poem, the messages she intended to convey through her word wizardry, and how it came to be that she…
"…a skinny Black girl
descended from slaves and raised by a single mother
can dream of becoming president
only to find herself reciting for one."
Dr Jill Biden first heard Amanda speak at the Library of Congress a couple of years ago. Like President Biden, she took had struggled with speech when she was younger. She was invited to read at the inauguration last month and she says they did not make any requests – she was free to say whatever she wanted to say; without any "guardrails", she started working on the first draft and was halfway through when, on January 6, thousands of insurgents tried to f-ck American democracy. Amanda completed the poem that night.
You can read the full transcript of "The Hill We Climb" here and, for me, the experience of reading it might even be better because you can savour her specific word choices, turn them over in your mind, fully appreciate the pacing of her poem, the specific phrasing, the imagery evoked, and the hope she has undoubtedly summoned. It's an extraordinary work from a beautiful young mind, a work borne from the great work of her predecessors. She studied from previous inaugural poets (Maya Angelou, Richard Blanco, Robert Frost) and powerful orators of the past. And she also took inspiration from a Broadway nerd:
Thx @Lin_Manuel ! Did you catch the 2 @HamiltonMusical references in the inaugural poem? I couldn't help myself! https://t.co/22UTKkGTLq
— Amanda Gorman (@TheAmandaGorman) January 20, 2021
Amanda Gorman just put herself in the narrative. Her book, also called "The Hill We Climb", comes out in September. Pre-order here!.
And PS. That coat? A perfect choice. The fit, the length, it was especially glorious from the back. And the red headband, like a crown, a new kind of laurel wreath for a new style of poet laureate.
Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from @Oprah for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here's to the women who have climbed my hills before. https://t.co/5Tegd20sko

Israel's transportation minister on Wednesday proposed linking its freight railway network with Jordan and Saudi Arabia, and said he presented the idea to U.S. President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy last month.
Under the proposal, goods could travel by rail from Israel's Mediterranean port of Haifa through Jordan to Saudi Arabia's Gulf port of Dammam.
Minister Yisrael Katz declined to say whether Arab states had agreed to join his initiative.
After Syria's civil war began in 2011, Israel opened its Haifa port as a conduit for goods coming from Turkey and Europe to be trucked to Arab countries further east. But traffic has been limited due to small capacity and political opposition.
Katz, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, said that Trump envoy Jason Greenblatt expressed enthusiasm for the plan when it was presented to him during his regional visit.
"I have already started working. ... I am in touch with very senior elements in the U.S. administration," said Katz, who has said he intends to eventually succeed Netanyahu as Likud leader.
Katz said he did not believe a rail route would make a serious dent in the high volume of commercial traffic through Egypt's Suez Canal linking the Mediterranean to the Red Sea.
Israel has set its sights on normalizing relations with Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Arab states that Israeli leaders say share Israel's concerns about regional rival Iran.
Katz said his plan could also give the Palestinians far greater ability to export goods from the occupied West Bank to the Arab world. Palestinians say Israel's control of that border has limited their trade prospects.
In outlining the plan for the rail network, Katz said only a short length of track was still needed to link Israel and the northern West Bank near a Jordan River crossing with Jordan.
"If the Palestinians connect to a railway system, the entire area will get a significant economic boost," he said.
Jordanian officials were not immediately available for a comment on the proposal.
Katz, who has held the transportation portfolio under Netanyahu since 2009, has proposed building an island off the coast of the Gaza Strip that would house an airport and seaport to serve the Palestinians.


This week, in response to a viewer's request, we're going to take a look at a couple of the more minor characters in As Time Goes By. I'm sure you'll agree though, there really are no small parts in the British comedies we love watching, or to coin a familiar phrase - the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Paul Chapman and Moyra Fraser, who played Stephen and Penny Johnson, only 'popped up' in As Time Goes By two or three times a year, starting in Series 2 until the show concluded in 2002 (not including the 2005 Reunion Special), but their roles were unforgettable.
Fraser, who sadly passed away in 2009, is featured in the Tea Time Tidbits dated September 21st, 2015.
Chapman, who turns 80 next year, seems to have stopped acting. As far as I can tell the last thing he appeared in was a film in 2013 called The Selfish Giant, based on the Oscar Wilde novel of the same name. In it he plays a caretaker. The film also stars Siobhan Finneran, who played Lady Cora's maid, Sarah O'Brien, in Downton Abbey.
You might also have seen Chapman in a 2009 episode of Midsomer Murders called 'The Great and the Good'. That was the second time Chapman was in a Midsomer episode, having previously been in the series in 1998. He was also in an episode of another popular Afternoon Tea series, Waiting for God. But it's for the role of Jean's hen-pecked brother-in-law in As Time Goes By that Chapman is best remembered.
An affinity for comedy must have run in Chapman's family. His younger brother John was a prolific comedy writer. Among his many credits is the 'Christmas Crackers' episode of Are You Being Served?. John Chapman died in 2001 at the age of 74.
If there's an Afternoon Tea actor you'd like to find out more about, feel free to drop me a line.

Graphical programming has prevailed especially in application programming of technical systems during the past years. There are many reasons for that. For one, in those areas graphical models for functionality description are used and on the other hand, engineers, technologists and technicians are confronted with programming. They rarely have a classic IT education. Furthermore it is difficult to make a close connection with the physical and technical application area.
Read more about graphical programming, learn more about our graphical programming software iCon-L and consider our advices and tips for graphical programming.
Basic knowledge and a fundamental understanding of how to program Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) is required.
The actual programming, however, can be learned quickly without much background knowledge, as graphical programming languages can be operated more intuitive than textual programming languages. The design in form of block diagrams makes it easy for engineers, technicians and technologists to understand the function blocks without a lot of background knowledge.
Are there any learning videos for graphical programming?
You can find learning videos of each program on our YouTube channel. Many topics, problems and tips, which are mentioned in the videos can be transferred to and applied in our other programming systems.
You can also get information about our software in the category software solutions. Partly, there are download links to data sheets as well as step-by-step documentation on the left side of the page that could help you.
What are function, program and macro blocks?
Basically there are two types of blocks: Function blocks and structure blocks.
Function blocks are simple blocks, which already exist in the library tree. AND, OR and NOT blocks, for example, are function blocks.
Structure blocks are also blocks, but they are not predefined. They can be created by the user. They are used to process one process chain, before the next structure or function block is processed in the program chain.
Following, the issue is shown in a small image. The "gray area" us the macro block. In this macro block, the illustrated program process is processed, before the next block is processed.
For further information, have a look at our YouTube videos.

How about making it an alien ship with difficult tech to unlock? Even throw in a new alien esp tech to unlock it?
Furthermore, give it a reticule us res cost like 1mil crystal and long build times so they won't be built in numbers.
The shadow probe is very useful in Hired Guns. I remember I wanted one planet in another galaxy to lead the attack on a territory with a probe so that it would be have the territory attached to it, but be held by other ships from a planet underneath the territory to protect it. My eradeated probes were too quick and would not go slow enough even at 10% speed to allow the time needed to initiate a group attack and still join with the ships and resources from the adjacent planet. A shadow probe did the trick though. Once the territory was gained, I just deployed the shadow probe back to the owner planet.
As to your suggestion to being able to build them at a ridiculous cost using alien technolgy, requiring the use of the alien space dock to build them when they can be obtained free in the lucky draw: I have to disagree.

Our tour starts here on North Front looking up, from above, at the main College buildings, built in the 1850s and a fine example of 19Century Baroque architecture. The Foundation Stone, laid by Queen Victoria in 1856 is clearly visible as we make our way through Great Gate into Front Quad.
This elegant quadrangle, surrounded by three boys boarding Houses (Blucher, Hill and Lynedoch and do please visit the Houses Page for information on all our Houses) acts as the main entrance hub to the College as well as housing our Reception, the Porters Lodge, the Admissions Department and Great School.
Great School served as the main classroom when the College opened in 1859! Now refurbished, the room acts as meeting room, lecture venue and, most importantly, as a memorial to those Wellingtonians who fell in service of their country in the two World Wars. Their names, displayed on House Boards, provide the focus for our Acts of Remembrance every November.
The Hardinge and the Combermere Houses book-end these gracious quads, which are in so many ways the beating heart of Wellington life, playing home as they do to the V&A, the Library, the Chapel and Dining Hall. Trees, fountains and sculptures create a quiet and calm space despite being the hub around which so much Wellington life revolves. Think Central Park to Manhattan, Hyde Park to Piccadilly and you've got it in one!
Open the Victorian cover of the Mallinson Library to enter a world of research just a click away. State of the art digital technology, modern pods and Harkness tables rub shoulders with quiet corners and the very latest must-read fiction creating a dynamic learning space that pupils see as uniquely their own. The heart of the College's intellectual life, the Mallinson Library really is an academic facility fit for the 21st Century.
The still centre of Wellington, the Chapel plays an important role in the weekly life of the Wellingtonian. Gilbert Scott's beautiful building provides an oasis of calm in the midst of the school where children from all denominations are always welcome. The Wellington themed stained glass windows, commissioned in 1948 (after the previous windows fell foul of a stray German bomb) still provide an inspirational vision of the power of education to transform ordinary lives.
Wellington's very own coffee-shop is the next stop on our tour. Skinny Lattes to go or leisurely cappuccinos allow for a cosmopolitan and thoroughly modern experience for pupils and staff alike. A natural venue for informal meetings, light lunches or simply catching up with the latest gossip, the V&A is second only to the Maths Dept. as every pupil's most favourite Wellington haunt!
Breakfast, lunch and supper for well over a 1000 every day ensures the Dining Hall is one of the busiest (and most important) stops on our tour. A simple cafeteria system, and crenellated mealtimes ensures minimum queuing and maximum eating time. As with everything at Wellington, choice is the order of the day, and our pupils are delighted that Sodexo, our excellent caterers, see Wellington as very much their flagship school.
Just a short walk from the main College buildings finds us ready for lessons in the various laboratories and classrooms that make up the Science faculty. Biology, Chemistry and Physics are all separate entities under the overall aegis of science, and all boast the latest in scientific educational provision, as well as embracing the best of the Harkness principles that inform so much of our teaching at Wellington.
Pride of place in the Kent Building is the Design Centre, which boasts the latest in CAD technology and space for our aspirant designers to shape and fashion a new world. Our Art Department occupies its own uniquely designed building (by Sir Nicholas Grimshaw, OW) right next door. Inspired by the architecture, Wellington's artists play with light, shade and space to see their world through different eyes.
Hola! Mesdames et Messieurs, wir sind angekommen bei the Modern Languages Dept. Opened just a few years ago, this purpopse-built building allows all Wellington pupils to study any number of modern foreign languages of their choice in a dynamic and interactive setting just a stone's throw from the main buildings. On the other side of the road our Maths Department is housed, a home of logic and learning for each and every Wellingtonian.
As the name suggests this building used to be home to the pommel horse and parallel bars, but has now been transformed into a multi-purpose space that changes with the seasons. Concerts, Plays, Conferences and Exams all take place within its walls. It is somehow very Wellington that physical boundaries are so often blurred and transformed.
Only a few metres from the Old Gym and you'll find yourself transported to Beijing as you enter the Mandarin Centre, physical symbol of Wellington's desire to reach out to other cultures and to recognise the importance that China plays in the Modern World. With a team of resident Mandarin speakers, the centre is living proof of Wellington's inclusivity and a constant reminder of our three Wellington International schools in Shanghai and Tianjin.
This iconic early 70s building nestles organically within the contours of the landscape and is the hub of Humanities teaching at Wellington. History, Politics, Geography and Economics all have their home here, as do Classics and English. Large and airy classrooms, open spaces and Harkness tables ensure that the cut and thrust of pupil debate and learning is ever-present in this important corner of the College.
Hamlet? Les Mis? To Kill a Mockingbird? Whatever takes your fancy will probably be on stage in Wellington's own CLT. Refurbished in honour of our most diabolical Old Wellingtonian (think Dracula and Saruman) the comfortable auditorium and elegant foyer turn school drama into a West End experience. Just next door our new Performing Arts Centre is being built. A vibrant and state-of-the-art performance area will provide us with a space for the Arts equal to the quality of the productions staged at Wellington. The design for the new building by Studio Seilern was awarded winner in the Best Building in Education category at the World Architecture Festival and selected as one of the best 27 new buildings on the planet!
Close your eyes and listen and you'll know immediately that we've arrived at the Music School. From arias to arpeggios, the school comes alive to the sound of music with practices and performances spilling out from the Music School walls. Individual practice and teaching rooms, with larger performance spaces, the Music School is superbly equipped to enable Wellington's musicians scale the heights.
The imposing buildings and manicured lawns provide a stunning backdrop to many of Wellington's most celebrated annual events, such as the Festival of Education, the Graduation Ball and the Iconic Master's Callover on Speech Day. Moving into Waterloo Hall transports us back to the 19th Century: this grand and formal room, home to concerts, lectures, dinners and dances was refurbished in 2015 as a living shrine to the Battle of Waterloo, its oak-panelled walls adorned with memorabilia.
Situated at the West End of South Front, the Master's Lodge is home to Julian Thomas and his family who regularly host informal gatherings for the Wellington pupils there. It is also the venue for the ongoing Art at the Lodge exhibition series. With family life at the centre of College, The Lodge stands as an important symbol of Wellington truly being a home from home for all its pupils. The repairs to the front of the building bear witness to the German bombs which struck on 8th October 1940, killing the Master, Bobby Longden, as he stepped out of his front-door.
Apart from a confusing period in the 1980s when it was actually painted green, the Pink Pavilion very much lives up to its name as the focal point for Wellington College cricket, overlooking as it does the main College Cricket pitch and home to countless generations of outstanding cricketers, including current Surrey and England Lions players Sam and Tom Curran.
Just a short walk down from the Pink Pavilion and you will arrive at the permanently and professionally staffed Health Centre. The Centre has 9 bedrooms, full day facilities, and a team of 10 nurses on hand 24/7 during term-time to provide medical care and advice for all Wellington pupils should they ever need it. The College also employs a counselling team who are particularly experienced at dealing with teenagers. In addition, the Health Centre can provide asthma clinics, travel and vaccination advice, diabetes monitoring, sports massage, physiotherapy and the occasional chiropodist!.
Named after the 12th Master of Wellington, Hugh Monro, this iconic pavilion allows a perfect view of the unfolding action on Bigside (Wellington's premier Rugby pitch) and one of our all-weather hockey pitches beyond. The perfect venue for after-match teas, spectators from all games are always guaranteed a warm, dry and lavish welcome under its soaring canopies.
If the Chapel is the spiritual home of many Wellingtonians, then Grubbies is perhaps the venue remembered with most affection by all, having served as the Tuck Shop for as long as anyone can remember. Snacks and sweets are still very much available, but these days the College Shop (as it's officially known) is the only outlet where Wellington Uniform is stocked and sold.
The newly refurbished Studio gives our many dancers the space, privacy and freedom to inspire and delight, due to its dynamically sprung floor, picture windows and stunning views across Turf and back to College. Our full-time Head of Dance oversees both an academic and co-curricular programme of dance, and, whatever a pupil's terpsichorean aspirations, the studio provides a hub and a home for all those with twinkle toes!
Our massive indoor Sports Centre houses an indoor pool, Squash, Rackets and Real Tennis courts, an extensively equipped fitness centre and technically challenging indoor climbing wall. Basketball, Badminton and Indoor Hockey all have their home here too, although from time to time the huge Indoor Hall plays host to school exams, parents conferences and even the House Singing competition!
Right next to the Sports Centre is our main Astro pitch, home to Girls Hockey in the Michaelmas Term, and Boys Hockey in the Lent Term. With our U14 girls becoming national champions at the Olympic Park in 2016, the Mansergh really is the field of dreams for so many of our budding sportsmen and women.
This vast expanse of water, a lido-like throwback to the 1930s, comes into its own in the second half of the summer term when it comes alive to the gasps and shrieks of our intrepid early morning swimmers, determined to win the title of fully-fledged Maniac. The Maniacs trophy is awarded only to those brave enough to swim two lengths, before breakfast, every single day in June come wind, rain or shine – #onlyatWellington – but it's surprising how many do complete the course. And where better on sunny afternoons than down by the pool to reflect on yet another fantastic year at Wellington!
With the College ranked as the best school in the UK for golf five years out of the past seven, it is no surprise that our own professionally designed 9-hole course is so popular with pupils, staff and parents at Wellington. With beautiful, tree-lined fairways, the course plays home to beginners and budding Rory McIlroys alike, and remains open throughout the entire year.
Nestled behind Crowthorne railway station — built in 1859 at the request of the College Governors to give pupils an easy means of reaching the school — is Derby Field. Home to many a rugby and cricket match on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons throughout the year, Derby Field provides a wonderful space to host many of the 25+ sporting fixtures in which our pupils participate on a weekly basis.
And where better to finish our tour than at Crowthorne station, with its quick and easy trains into Reading and Guildford. We hope you enjoyed this look around the Wellington College campus and have got a feel for some of the buildings and facilities we have. Of course, no virtual tour can match a visit in person to the College and we do hope that you will be inspired to come and visit us for real very soon.

[Description]:Yasrab (In the memory of a daughter buried alive in Pre-Islamic times.) O! Father where are we going to? Bazaar! What will you buy for me? Doll, toys and a string of pearls!
O! Father where are we going to? Bazaar!
What will you buy for me?
Doll, toys and a string of pearls!
And shall return before the evening befalls.
Father! Would you take me back along?
"Yes! Will go back," the father answered.
Affection of the younger brother, everything she was recalling.
"There dwell serpents of hatred of in his heart," she said to herself.
How meager were the demands of the girl of six!
How many sons her two brothers had!
They enable a father to walk with high head.
Yet one daughter made his nights sleepless.
All times she had been saying, "My good father!
"Why am I not an apple of your eyes?
O! Father what you are doing.
Have you concealed some treasure in sand of the desert?
My pearls, my gold and prestige to live life with splendour.
He might be missing me," the daughter said weeping.
A string of pearls, dress, father what you have done!
I shall demand from you nothing.
I promise to you, I am being stifled inside here.
Beneath the layers of fifteen centuries.


Emily's Recipes and Reviews | UK Food Blog | Leicestershire : norse, harrogate.
The night of course began with a cocktail - an Indian Summer (£6.95). A trio of cardamom gin, green tea and strawberry shrub, this was the perfect warming, fruity and refreshing cocktail for an Autumn evening. Asking the waitress for a light and floral beer offering, she recommended the Blossom which was exactly this - botanical and thirst quenching.
In true newbie fashion, we decided to go for the £49 tasting menu in order to let the restaurant strut its stuff. The menu showcased a mix of vegetarian, seafood and meat dishes, however any dietary requirements can be taken care of by the accommodating staff with no problem at all.
The tasting menu, which can be ordered with recommended wine for £22 each, was a series of five savoury courses followed by two sweet. A complimentary house infused honey and thyme schnapps later and we were ready to delve in! There was also an impressive gin menu from around Britain and the rest of the world. To enjoy with our meal, we went for a bottle of French Viognier, Domaine des Vigneaux (£27) on the suggestion of a light and slightly peachy white.
Firstly we were presented with a mixture of breads, grains and organic butter, which you can eat together or on the bread as you wish. The grains were beautiful on their own, although my new favourite thing is their toasted grains and lashing of real butter on their fresh bread.
To begin we enjoyed the Maple cured sea trout, pickled radish and lemon verbena granita. A light, ice cold dish to whet our appetite. Trout is one of my favourite fish as I find it lighter than salmon and it's often used in Scandinavian cuisine.
The next dish was a Pumpkin and ginger velouté with pumpkin seeds, shallot and Keen's gougères which was finished at the table. Pictured behind were the gougères, which were like savoury choux pastry and filled with a cheese and truffle butter - really delicious and not too heavy at all.
The staff were very knowledgable about all the dishes and at each stage explained the ingredients and any questions we had. Believe me - I had many! This had a comforting and savoury taste with slight sweetness of the toasted seeds. I could have eaten a bowl of it but it was for the best that it was kept light - we had lots to come!
One of the plates which worried me a little beforehand was the Smoked Lincolnshire eel, carrot, beetroot and spinach salad, horseradish dressing and sorrel sauce. Although I love all kinds of raw Japanese sashimi, Italian calamari and French mussels, the idea of eel is new to me and I was concerned I might not like the texture. To my surprise, it was nothing like squid and instead a very tender, white meat with a subtle smouldering aroma which balanced the tart salad. We were also told the darker green leaf tastes exactly like oyster, and interestingly it did have a slightly seafood-like inclination.
Following from that was the Pigs Cheek, confit parsnip and pickled pear salad and caramelised onion. Long time readers will know I'm not a fan of fruit with meats, although I understand the concept. I'm beginning to realise that done well, it's delicious. Still not something I'd order on its own, but with the fall-apart pork and honeyed flavours alongside each element enhanced one another.
Hake, celeriac puree, caviar, Morteau sausage, artichoke, roasted fish sauce and puff pastry was the next course, and I think ended up being my favourite. The hake had been cooked to exactly 49 degrees, I'm told the perfect temperature, and served alongside earthy celeriac, salty caviar, sea vegetables, smoked sausage and crunchy pastry. So many beautiful elements that were just the right balance with being confusing or overwhelming. Really well executed and I've been thinking about that hake ever since.
With flavours gradually getting stronger and more intense throughout the tasting menu, the last course was definitely the most rich and meaty. The Loin of Scottish Red Deer, BBQ shoulder, smoked heart, quince, beetroot salad and lovage purée was undoubtedly beautifully presented and showed off all elements of deer. Again with the deep beetroot salad and to accompany, the fruitiness of the quince and aniseed flavours lifted the dish of tender Scottish meat.
The first sweet came in the form of a Bergamot posset with brown bread ice cream, rose meringue and puffed rice crumble. Since I love Earl Grey tea, the fragrant bergamot orange flavours were spot on for me. In perfect harmony, the rose lifted the floral elements of the bergamot, whilst the rice added a soothing toasted flavour.
The last sweet and final course was the Coffee cake and chocolate pudding with pumpkin purée, ginger crumble and toasted buckwheat ice cream. This dessert sung of autumnal flavours and comforting textures. I especially loved the ginger crumble with the luxurious homemade ice cream. As a heavier dessert I could see why it went last, although I think I would have preferred to end on the lighter bergamot flavours.
Nearby, in fact with a whole table to itself, stood a rather remarkable cheeseboard. Sadly we had been too well fed to indulge in this, which can only be a good thing.
The tasting menu was a resounding success for both of us, putting our trust in the knowledge of the staff to find new and exciting combinations to intrigue and delight.
Have you ever tried Scandanavian cuisine? What dish appealed to your tastebuds?
Note: We paid in full for our meal. Well, it was my birthday treat.
lovely meal - the food looks delicious and so thoughtfully put together.

Tectonic Setting of Interior Alaska
Interior Alaska seismicity reflects transpression and block rotation. Three different types of tectonic structures contribute to generating seismicity in this region: right-lateral strike slip faults (Denali, Tintina, Kaltag), north-northeast-trending seismic zones (Minto, Fairbanks, Salcha, Dall City, Rampart), and thrust faults in the northern foothills of the Alaska Range. The largest event recorded in the Interior was the 1937 M7.3 Salcha earthquake. It produced extensive ground failures in the epicentral area, but there was no documented evidence of surface rupture. Other notable events include the 1968 M7.1 Rampart, 1985 M6.1 Dall City, and 1995 M6.0 Minto Flats earthquakes. The Fairbanks Seismic Zone was the site of three M5-6 earthquakes in 1967. A M7.2 thrusting event occurred in 1947 at the front edge of the northern foothills of the Alaska range and south of the Salcha Seismic Zone. This event along with current seismic activity is indicative of ongoing thrusting deformation on the north side of the central Alaska Range. East of longitude 146°W, the seismic activity between the Tintina Fault to the north and the Denali Fault to the south decreases considerably.

When we read over our new year's resolution list, we can't help but cringe at our workout goals. If you're the type of person who follows through on all your tasks and goals, that is amazing and way to go you. However, if you're like me, where you start a new hobby or set a new goal but realize it's not as easy or what you expected and give up. Well this time, I took out that list, checked off my completed goals, and finally worked up the motivation to hit the gym. Except, I didn't have a gym membership, nor did I want to leave the house. So, after watching an episode of Shark Tank, I learned about a work-out app called Sworkit. It is an odd name to say, but after learning about their company and what their app offers, I quickly invested. Here's why I believe Sworkit is worth every penny.
First off, their 30-day trial is free, so if you don't like, simply cancel your free trial. However, in the free trial, there are ads that distract you from your workouts. Their ad-free membership is only $12.99 a month, or you can purchase the annual package which is currently on sale for $79.99. If you research through Retail Me Not or Groupon, you can find coupons for 20% off your purchase whether monthly or annual.
With Sworkit you never have to leave the comfort of your own home. The workouts are performed on the floor, so you don't need any weights or heavy machinery. Workout equipment is pricey, and you have to have a room dedicated to the equipment. With Sworkit you can workout at home in any room with extra space without selling any furniture.
When you sign up with Sworkit, they will walk you through each workout plan on what you wish to focus on such as being stronger, leaner, or fitter. From there, you complete your training exorcises by performing each workout session. You can mix and match exorcises, so you can do cardio for five minutes then switch to yoga to relax and slower your heart rate.
If you're the kind of person that needs structure when working out, Sworkit has your back. You can monitor your progress and calculate as the calories you've burned off within the past day, week or month. You can even set daily reminders or reminder for when you've been inactive after a certain amount of days.
Working out at home with Sworkit can also be done in your backyard, garage, friend's house, local park, poolside, beach side, or wherever you enjoy working out. Sworkit's app can be downloaded on any device and taken with you anywhere. You can even project Sworkit onto your television for larger viewing.
Sworkit is not only a great workout app, it also teaches yoga and pilates. You can customize how many rounds you wish to perform whether as a warm up or full body workout. Even if you have no idea what a mountain or tree pose is, Sworkit has virtual instructors that show you how to perform each pose at a comfortable speed.
When working out, we a need a little musical therapy to motivate us. On the Sworkit app, you can connect your playlists from Spotify and silence any background sounds or music from Sworkit while working out.
With Sworkit, you can earn medals after completing a certain amount of time per workout. For five minutes, you earn a bronze medal. For fifteen minutes, you earn a silver medal. For thirty minutes or more you earn a gold medal. This is another positive motivator to keep working out and shedding those calories.
After a week of using Sworkit, I felt stronger and more motivated to work out since the app is easy to use, follow, and perform. You can feel the calories shedding from your body. I really enjoyed the fact that I can workout at home and not have to travel to the gym. I am self-conscious about working out alone in a gym because I never know what I'm supposed to be doing. With Sworkit, I work out when I what and where I want.
Have you tried Sworkit before? What did you think? Let us know in the comments!


Food cultures important enough to preserve.
UNESCO added on 14 new items to a list of "traditional cultural activities" to preserve this year, announcing the new "Intangible Cultural Heritage" list, and apparently plenty of food traditions deserve to be preserved.
In Belgium, the practice of shrimp fishing on horseback in Oostduinkerke is considered culturally significant, where shrimpers on horseback ride along the surf and drag a net to catch shrimp. "A good knowledge of the sea and the sand strip and a close relationship with one's horse are essential," UNESCO's press release says. "The tradition gives the community a strong sense of collective identity and plays a central role in social and cultural events, especially the two-day Shrimp Festival. Twelve households, each with its own speciality, are active in shrimp fishing. Knowledge is handed down from generation to generation, with experienced shrimpers demonstrating their fishing techniques to beginners."
Meanwhile, the Mediterranean diet is considered culturally important in Cyprus, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Morocco, Portugal, and Spain. UNESCO decided that participating in the Mediterranean diet not only takes a set of cooking skills, but also knowledge of crops, harvesting, fishing, conservation, and more, while emphasizing the sharing and consumption of food. "Eating together is the foundation of the cultural identity and continuity of communities throughout the Mediterranean basin," UNESCO said, noting the food's role in festivals, celebrations, and other gatherings.
Japan's washoku cuisine, or the traditional cuisine of Japanese culture, was celebrated for its "set of skills, knowledge, and traditions relating to the preparation and consumption of food, and respect for natural resources." Washoku, often seen during New Year's celebrations, emphasizes specially prepared meals with decorative accents, "using fresh ingredients, each of which has a symbolic meaning...The basic knowledge and skills related to washoku are passed down in the home at shared mealtimes."
Meanwhile, an ancient Georgian winemaking method, as well as Ethiopa's festival of Maskel, were also named on the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list.


The Coca Cola Scholarship is one of the largest business-supported, merit-based college scholarship programs in the U.S.A..
There are very high dollar awards ($20,000) given nationally and even $10,000 amounts awarded regionally.
Smaller awards ($1-2,0000) are available for two year community college programs which are often overlooked by private scholarship programs.
First generation Native American students have an attractive $5,000 award program available.
How Can I Differentiate Myself?
Given the attractive award amounts you can be assured the competition will be stiff. To differentiate yourself be sure to emphasize your leadership skills and experience. Highlight the specific ways you both care and have taken action to make a difference in your community.
As you'll see in the detailed requirements the more accomplished you are in the classroom the better your chances.
If you fit the profile of an academically proven, socially conscious future leader with this above average award amount this private scholarship program can be time well spent. However, just because the competition is so intense the chances are good you won't be selected.
It is important to not be discouraged and give up on your search for scholarship resources. For instance, did you know that private scholarships cover less than 3% of the cost of college?
Instead go to where the most free money for college grants and scholarships are AND where you'll have the best chances of success.
Check out my free webinar to learn more about the proven strategies that will equip you with a successful game plan in your college scholarship search.


Our Passion Fruit E-Juice is a sweet and tart fruit flavor that is fresh and delicious. We tried to match the passion fruit's tartness with this e-juice.
It can be vaped on it's own, but we recommend using it as a complementary e-juice. This e-liquid has an excellent flavor and produces luscious clouds.
The taste of Passion Fruit E-Juice is sweet which blends well with chocolate, as the chocolate balances the natural sweetness of the passion fruit very well.
Final Thoughts: I was disappointed with my purchase I was expecting my E-Juice to be more fruity tasteful but it was not.
Pros: Taste: incredible Smoke: i bought the cloud-chaser version, makes huge clouds and amazing clouds.
Cons: I bought too little!
Final Thoughts: Will buy again!

Soccer Mommy performs for NPR's Tiny Desk concert series NPR/YOUTUBE
Soccer Mommy is celebrating her trio of albums with a new performance. On Wednesday, the indie rock singer performed a medley of her songs for NPR's Tiny Desk concert series.
The artist born, Sophie Allison, was joined for the performance by guitarist Julian Powell, keyboardist Rodrigo Avendano, bassist Nickolas Widener, and drummer Rollum Haas. The musician played music from all of her records, including "Still Clean" from Clean, fan-favorite "Circle the Drain" from Color Theory, and both "Newdemo" and "Shotgun" from her recent project, Sometimes, Forever.
"We're finally doing it," Allison told her Tiny Desk audience. Soccer Mommy's NPR visit comes three years after she became the first artist to have to cancel her Tiny Desk session due to the pandemic in 2020. (She was later asked to do an "At Home" version of the performance.)
"I think that was also the first session type thing that I did, and I did it on my iPhone cause I didn't have any of the little gadgets people acquired over the pandemic, or home-videoing," she added.
Last year, the indie rock singer spoke to Rolling Stone about her album Sometimes, Forever, where she opened up about how sorrow and happiness are both temporary feelings in life.
"It's about accepting that everything in life comes in waves. Nothing is really permanent. But, at the same time, so many things are forever," she said. "For me, that's always been something that's hard to grasp, because I'm a very concrete thinker. I want to be like, 'This is how things are, and there's a reason.' Especially when it comes to emotions, I've always been wanting to be able to pinpoint why I feel the way I feel and how to stop it if I'm not enjoying it, or how to move past it."
She added, "That's just not the reality. The reality is that things come and go. They're always going to return."
Performance,
Soccer Mommy,


Aloe vera gel softens, calms and helps to protect the skin. It is excellent in calming sunburn or redness caused by the cold.
The gel from the aloe leaf can be dried, mostly to make its transportation easier and preserve it longer. When the powder is put in contact with water, it regains its original strength and gel consistency.
Lush buy dried aloe vera from a fair trade and organic producer in Mexico.
