Synthetic Vitamin D3 was registered as a Rodenticide (rat poison) in 1984. Vitamin D3 has been conclusively shown to kill mice, rats and dogs. What about people? This article looks at the theory that vitamin D3, like arsenic, is cumulative and deadly?
Several scientific studies have questioned the safety of using synthetic Cholecalciferol aka vitamin D3 in high doses due the adverse effects of calcification. Synthetic vitamin D3 is made from lanolin, a fat that is extracted from sheep's wool whereas natural vitamin D is made from sunlight uvb rays that interact with cholesterol sulfate in the skin.
In the Townsend Letter for Doctors in Jan 2018, (Issue 414) was an article titled "Vitamin D Supplementation Concerns" by CJ Puotinen. The article documented the adverse effects of excess vitamin D3 added to pet foods and cited DVM Nutri-Balance and Golden Sun Feeds Hunter dog food that was recalled after excess vitamin D3 was added to the pet food resulting in illness and death to at least 25 dogs. The article also cited several other companies that recalled their pet foods due to excess vitamin D levels.
The FDA and the national news media made no mention of these recalls. Why the silence? Were they afraid the public and the medical profession would question the safety of synthetic vitamin D3? Would this cause the public to turn to sunshine and cod liver oil as safe natural alternatives? Where are the long term studies on the safety of using synthetic vitamin D3 in humans?
The article also contained a statement that "Cholecalciferol (synthetic vitamin D3) was registered as a rodenticide in 1984" but the article made no mention who registered this vitamin as a rodenticide. A recent search on the Internet turned up Terad3 Blox made by Bell Laboratories..
"TERAD3 BLOX expertly combines the most recent advancements in bait formulation to yield a highly weatherable BLOX with the benefits of the active ingredient, Vitamin D3.
"After years of researching the most effective formulation for housing this unique active ingredient, Bell scientists have found the perfect match - a denser, tightly compacted 1-oz. extruded BLOX with outstanding durability, palatability and weatherability.
Question: Since synthetic vitamin D3 used in rat and mouse poison kills rodents by calcifying their arteries and major organs, what proof exists that the same thing is not also happening to people who also ingest vitamin D3?
It is logical to assume that high doses of vitamin D3 sold OTC as a dietary supplement or drug would accelerate the calcification process leading to hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure, strokes, heart and kidney failure and death. If anyone thinks that it is safe to consume high doses of vitamin D3 indefinitely, this photo and what Bell labs says about their D3 rat poison (rodenticide) should give anyone pause, especially a doctor. Is swallowing rat poison really a good idea? Does your one a day vitamin pill, fortified milk or dietary supplement have this rat poison added to it?
Waterford, WI. In July I met with Sandy and her husband whom I have known for several years. I was aware that Sandy had a stroke over one year ago in 2016. I was not aware that she had been taking high doses of vitamin D3 prior to the stroke. I shared with her the last issue of this newsletter on the dangers of taking synthetic Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) as reported by Dr. Stephanie Seneff.
Sandy told me that for 3 years before she had the stroke that has left her speech impaired, she had taken 5000 i.u daily of vitamin D3 on the advice of her cardiologist. Sandy, like many of us, will believe an expert like her personal doctor. Today, with over 63000 published studies on vitamin D, the medical profession is as divided as ever on this subject.
I told her that multiple sources state that synthetic vitamin D3 is made from lanolin that is extracted from sheep's wool. In January 2018, the Townsend Letter for Doctors referred to both Vitamin D2 and D3 as synthetic as they are not directly derived from natural sources such as the mother's milk or traditional sources such as cod liver oil. Natural vitamin D contains a sulfate molecule.
For humans and other mammals on the earth, vitamin D has always been made by the ultraviolet B (UVB) rays of the sun interacting with cholesterol sulfate in the skin. It has been this way since the dawn of mankind. Study after scientific study has found that sunlight and also cod liver oil have protective effects against cardiovascular disease.
Synthetic vitamin D3 does not contain the sulfate molecule. Studies in animals have shown that synthetic D3 has causes damage to the arteries of test animals.
I also shared with her the discovery the molecular structure of natural vitamin D derived from sunlight interaction with cholesterol sulfate in the skin is different than the man-made versions of D2 and D3. The differences are significant and very important.
Why Synthetic (fake) Vitamin D is not equal to Natural (real) Vitamin D?
It is almost like comparing fake news to real news. The first problem with evaluating the scientific literature about vitamin D is making the classic mistake of comparing the synthetic to the natural forms as equals based on labels. Since the molecular structure of natural vitamin D has a sulfate molecule attached and the synthetic versions of vitamin D does not, they have different molecular structures. The synthetic forms need to be more critically evaluated.
The main natural source of vitamin D is sunlight. Sunlight has consistently been shown to have cardio-protective effects - lower blood pressure, and significantly fewer heart attacks and strokes. Sunlight exposure has consistently been shown to protect against breast cancer and many other forms of cancer.
Synthetic vitamin D given to swine in a controlled study has been shown to cause pathological damages to the thoracic aorta of the swine. The swine consumed a human equivalent of about 11000 i.u. of vitamin D3 each day. (1) However, even a lower dose of 2200 i.u per day, D3 worsened atherosclerosis in swine on a high fat diet.
Studies using vitamin D3 as a supplement found little difference in bone density between the treatment group and placebo. In one study, the group taking vitamin D3 had 6% fractures vs. 5% in the control group. (2) Although differences were slight, the results indicate that vitamin D3 may actually have caused a small loss in bone density.
The Jan 2018 issue of the Townsend Letter No.414 also discussed several manufacturers of pet food that caused death to dogs; pet foods that were removed from the marketplace. More info can be found at the townsendletter.com website where back issues can be purchased.
My story- Why I believe high doses of synthetic vitamin D3 nearly killed me.
My personal test results, after increasing my intake of Vitamin D3 to 10,000 i.u. .daily from 5000 i.u. for the past 6 weeks is that my blood serum level has increased from 31 to 47 ng/ml. I also tan indoors 20 minutes a day 3 times a week. The florescent tubes in the sun bed I use emit both UVA and UVB rays that parallel the sun's radiation output. It is only the UVB rays that cause the production of vitamin D in the skin. It took six weeks (from around July 7th to August 20th) to accomplish this significant increase in serum levels of vitamin D.
I then listed a range of 6 personal benefits I observed from taking 10,000 i.u vitamin D3 along with tanning indoors for 20 minutes 3 times a week. Because I got natural vitamin D3 from the tanning bed 3 times a week and synthetic vitamin D3 from the pills, it is impossible to credit the benefits I received entirely to the D3 supplements.
At the time, I was not aware vitamin D3 that I was taking as a dietary supplement was synthetic nor was I aware of it's potential adverse effects that can be deadly. I also was not aware that the vitamin D produced by the sun or sun-tanning bed had a different molecular structure than the synthetic D3 pills I was ingesting.
2. One cayenne powder capsule.
4. Two vegetarian digestive enzymes capsules.
After several hours and a few glasses of apple juice, the HBP began to come down but still remained high. After several x-rays and blood tests, I was told by the Emergency Room doctor that I was in remarkably good health for someone 74 yrs. old. I was then advised to see a primary doctor as soon as possible –like ASAP.
A few days later I found one and he prescribed a low dose ACE inhibitor. It helped, but I also had to go on a low sodium diet to reduce the BP levels. He also reviewed the X-rays of my sore knee and indicated that restrictions in blood flow might be the problem and suggested I might have atherosclerosis. At first I thought, with the 20 plus supplements I use each day, how could that be happening?
After reading the article, I began to have doubts about the safety of taking vitamin D3 as a dietary supplement. As a precaution, I completely stopped using the D3. It was late January, 2018, and I resumed tanning indoors 2 or 3 times a week, a close to natural source of vitamin D.
Before the end of January, I also began the daily use of therapeutic baths with added apple cider vinegar and Epsom salts as I reported in the 2018 Journal Vol 16 No 1. My thinking was that since vinegar dissolves mineral deposits in a teapot, absorbing it through my skin might also dissolve calcium deposits in the blood vessels and capillaries of my knee. My knee and general health began to improve as I reported in the first issue of the KHA journal this year.
A few months later, I discovered the article on vitamin D3 sulfate on my own computer written by Dr. Stephanie Seneff in 2011. After reading her article, and realizing that I had not used vitamin K2 during the past 3 years while I was on high daily doses of D3, I may have unknowingly set my self up for calcification of my arteries, a condition that could have contributed to my hypertension, knee problems, or could have caused a stroke that could have killed me.
To be sure, this was a learning experience and one I do not wish to repeat. Today, I avoid taking any vitamin D2 or D3 supplements. I also avoid consuming foods with these synthetic forms of vitamin D added.
Now, you would think Cardiologists should know about the toxicity of synthetic vitamin D but apparently they do not as they continue to prescribe dangerously high doses of this synthetic supplement, and without including Vitamin K2 that directs calcium to where it belongs and prevent calcification of the arteries.
The following study published in the BMC Journal of Nephrology on dialysis patients was that vitamin D3 supplements did not lower blood pressure or reverse atherosclerosis.
Authors -Frank H Mose et al. BMC Nephrol. 2014; 15: 50.
Sixty-four patients were enrolled in the six-month study including fifty dialysis patients having an average age of 68 years.
The following study was published in the Am J of Hypertension and its authors found that an active form of vitamin D (a-calcidol) promoted aortic stiffness.
The conclusion of the study confirmed the author's suspicions - that high doses of this active (synthetic) vitamin D were "associated with progression of aortic stiffness".
In other words – high doses of this form of vitamin D was promoting hardening of the arteries. This is a sure formula for hypertension and strokes.
The scientific community is badly divided on the subject of vitamin D. One side says to stay out of the sun or you will get skin cancer and other research says that if you use synthetic vitamin D2 or D3 in high doses, you may calcify your arteries and get a stroke. Strokes and heart attacks have about a 50% mortality rate. Skin cancer is slow to appear and is usually treatable. Your chances of living longer are, in my opinion, are at better odds with the sun than using sunscreen and synthetic vitamin D.
Review Article: The purpose of this article was to evaluate the inter-relationships of several vitamins to cardiovascular health status in preventing and reversing hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis). Of particular interest to us is the use of vitamin K2 in reversing calcification of the arteries; also vitamin B12 in lowering homocysteine levels.
Several studies on various doses of (synthetic) vitamin D3 result listed in this article report conflicting and opposite effects in arterial stiffness. The authors cited 5 studies that vitamin D3 supplements reduced arterial stiffness, and 7 studies that they did not or may have actually increased arterial stiffness.
It appears from these studies that only very low doses of synthetic D3 are safe to use on a continuous basis. (That would be 500 i.u or less). These low daily doses of D3 do not calcify the arteries in the studies cited, and do prevent rickets, a disease of bone malformation caused by vitamin D deficiency.
What they state is that while vitamin K2 had protective effects against calcification of the arteries, vitamin K1 did not. K1 is present is dark green vegetables (parsley, kale, spinach etc.), and is important in supporting blood clotting factors. Without K1, and the clotting factors it supports, you could bleed to death. So don't think that the dark green vegetables can be dismissed as not important for cardiovascular health. There is some evidence that with the right friendly intestinal flora, some K1 can be converted into K2 in the stomach of humans.
K2 is also known as menaquinone-7 and is formed by the bacteria "Bacillus subtilis natto." This natural source of K2 is found in fermented cheese, eggs, beans, and meat.
K2 is made commercially by adding the Natto bacteria to soybeans where the fermentation process produces the world's richest source of vitamin K2. Natto as a food is sold in Asian markets, and you need to develop a particular taste for it to enjoy it. Fortunately, K2 made from Natto is sold as standardized dietary supplement.
Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) is a test that measures how stiff your arteries are. I am not a medical doctor, but I know when I read the scientific literature when something is important. Apparently, this test is used by researchers but is not commonly used in doctor's offices and hospitals. The most common test is to take a patient's blood pressure. The higher the systolic pressure and the greater the difference between the diastolic and the systolic numbers would indicate greater stiffness in the arteries.
However, drugs that lower blood pressure treat the effects of arterial stiffness (HBP) but are not known to address the cause, which often is calcification of the arteries resulting in a narrowing of the blood vessels and resulting arterial stiffness.
There are numerous chelation products on the market that help to remove or reduce arterial plaque and these are (except for K2) beyond the scope of this article. Vitamin K2 is a chelator and helps reverse calcification of the arteries. There are other chelators and chelation methods (i.v. EDTA, pectin, lecithin, OC Max etc.), and these will be the subject of follow-up articles in the future.
by Kate Rheume-Bleue, B.Sc., N.D.
I obtained my copy from amazon.com. Every one of the 8 chapters is well documented by scientific notations and citations. Research from the Weston A Price Fdn is cited extensively in this book.
Ms. Rheume-Blue, a French Canadian, writes that vitamin K2 in cattle depends on their consumption of grass. She cites the research of Dr. Weston A Price, a dentist who discovered vitamin K2 that he named "activator X." Dr. Price found that activator X or (K2) was highest in cattle in the summer and lower in the winter. He found it nearly non-existent in grain fed cattle. Rheume-Blue reports that vitamin K1 from grass is converted into K2 by bacteria in the stomach of cattle.
This raises another important observation. If bacteria in the stomach of cattle can convert K1 from grass, then would not the same or similar bacteria in the stomach of humans eating green vegetables do the same thing? Whether this conversion of K1 to K2 exclusively requires "Bacillus subtilis natto" remains to be determined by further research. With all the multiple benefits of dark green vegetables, I think it would not be prudent to substitute a K2 capsule for dark green veggies. It would be best to use both.
What about traditional Cod Liver Oil?
While Dr. Seneff stated that the only natural source of vitamin D3 sulfate she knew of was mother's milk, I though there must be other natural sources as well, even if no one is looking for them.
Take Cod Liver Oil: A fish like a cow in the field gets its vitamin D from sunlight (UVB) rays interacting with cholesterol sulfate in the skin of the animal. Neither fish nor mammal goes into a drug store to buy synthetic D2 or D3. Natural Vitamin D3 sulfate is made the old fashioned way – by nature - the way God intended.
The second point is that if the vitamin D in cod liver oil or salmon oil was not sulfated, and was like the synthetic versions you get in a drug or health food store, then the scientific literature would also show an increase in cardiovascular disease - like it does for synthetic vitamin D2 or D3. The scientific literature has nothing but positive news for those who use cod liver oil.
My review of a small portion of the 63,000 scientific studies on vitamin D shows that Cod Liver Oil helps to prevent and lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. There are no studies that suggest Cod Liver Oil scars arteries as does synthetic D2 and D3. While taking vitamin K2 along with vitamin D2 or D3 will help prevent calcification of the arteries, the word "synthetic" has never been a strong selling point in my vocabulary. Unlike traditional cod liver oil, some cod liver oils brands made today are over processed to improve flavor and may contain added synthetic vitamin D.
Garden of Life "Olde World Cod Liver Oil". I called the manufacturer and they confirmed they do not add D2 or D3 (cholecalciferol) to their product and state that the A and D in their Cod Liver Oil is what is comes from the livers of the Cod fish.
Another all natural source of vitamins A and D is Fermented Cod Liver Oil. Both brands are available in many Health Food Stores.
The Townsend Letter article reported that there are 6 kinds of vitamin D in natural unprocessed Cod Liver Oil. On the other hand, some brands of "cod liver oil" are over processed to improve the flavor. The result also removes most of the natural A and D. Worse yet, some of these brands add synthetic Vitamin A and D to the Cod Liver Oil they sell.
They reported that the use of molecular distillation removes most of the naturally occurring vitamin A and D in the fish oil. Puotinen's article provides some food sources (wild salmon oil, sardines, tuna etc.) of natural vitamin D and also discusses different brands of cod liver oil and their manufacturing processes.
Puotinen advises to ask questions and call the manufacturer. Ask them if they have added vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) to their product to boost the vitamin D levels they list on the label.
Note; Green Pastures makes Blue Ice Fermented Cod Liver Oil. For many centuries ago, fermented cod liver was valued in Rome as a health tonic. Green Pastures makes its fermented cod liver oil based on traditional methods that have been in use for several centuries. This brand is sold as a food and the vitamin D content is not listed on its label.
However, the Townsend Letter obtained test data from the manufacturer and reported a high level of natural D in the fermented cod liver oil being 3400 i.u. in one teaspoon along with 8500 i.u of vitamin A. These figures are based on average test data over a 4-year period. I would say this is about as good as it gets as a source of natural vitamin A and D. As a food source, 1/2 teaspoon per day should be sufficient for the needs of the average healthy person.
For those with multiple health challenges,1 to 2 teaspoons per day may be needed and should be monitored by a holistic doctor. Even though traditional or fermented cod liver oil has a near perfect record for improving immune and cardiovascular health, I would still take 100 to 200 mcg of vitamin K2 each day as a precaution to prevent calcification of the arteries from vitamin D2 or D3 that is added to hundreds of food products (milk, ice cream, orange juice etc).
The Townsend Letter article also discusses a product called Rosita Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil – short for EVCLO. It is made in Norway using wild cod livers and an ancient extraction method. The vitamin D content ranges from 400 to 500 i.u per teaspoon along with 3000 to 5000 i.u of natural vitamin A.
Check with manufacturers and suppliers and ask questions about manufacturing methods and if any vitamin A or D has been added. Avoid any cod liver oil to which synthetic vitamin D3 has been added.
Synthetic D3 is made from irradiated lanolin and should be strictly avoided. Taking 100 to 200 mcg of natto based natural vitamin K2 to prevent calcification of the arteries and to build stronger bones would be a wise and prudent investment.
You may need to call around or use the internet to find one of the better traditional or fermented cod liver oils that have not been fooled around with too much by manufacturers for taste or marketing purposes.
While I have been using the Garden of Life Old World Cod Liver Oil for some time, I plan on trying the traditional fermented cod liver oil with my next purchase. Recently, I was told by a friend in Denver that fermented cod liver oil is available in capsules. This would be easier for some people to swallow.
Solgar has cod liver oil in capsules but their website indicates they have added cholecalciferol (synthetic D3) and vitamin A to their product. I would avoid the Solgar capsules.
While a 100 years ago, you could go into a drug store and get real cod liver oil that was not overly processed, today marketing environment and competition makes it imperative that we not buy any product that has a pretty label on it but investigate what is behind the label and inside the bottle. There is more than enough fake news these days; we don't need fake dietary supplements to add to the confusion.
July 27th 2018 - Mary called two days ago to share her latest lab results. All her blood work remains normal. To have active HIV virus in her body, her doctor told her she needed to test positive on the HIV Western Blot test. The Western Blot test has been replaced with a more sensitive test called the "Multispot Test" also called the "Confirmatory test." This test indicates the presence of active viral particles for HIV.
Conclusion from her Doctor: She no longer has any active HIV virus in her. PCR remains non-detectable and all blood parameters are within normal reference ranges including the cd4/cd8 ratios. She also told her doctor that she has not taken any HIV drugs since last fall. This is the same doctor who said that she would have to take HIV meds for the rest of her life.
Finally, Mary has set up an email address at maryfrombrook@ gmail.com so you can write her with your questions or comments. Her original protocol was summarized in 2017 in Vol 15, No 1 of this Journal of Immunity.
It is my opinion that without the raw garlic she consumed in 2015 along with everything else, "Mary" (a pen name) would not have this good news to share with us today. Possibly, one or more of the many sulfur compounds in garlic (DMSO?) may hold the key to her success. I will have more to say about this in a future article.

Before you enjoy these fantastic recipes, please note that you can substitute broccoli rabe at any time for the wild mustard greens. As noted in Robbie Sigona's Produce Tips, wild mustard greens have an extremely short season. Therefore if they run out, simply use broccoli rabe in their place.
This "fried rice," if you will, is packed with flavor and nutrients. I love using fresh greens with farro, an ancient grain with roots in Italy dating back more than 1,000 years. It's high protein, low glycemic and makes for a hearty, healthy meal. The wild mustard greens, otherwise known as Caluzzi, in Italian, add a punch of taste. You may use broccoli rabe as a substitute, using the same prep process below. Adapted from Uncommon Fruits & Vegetables. Serves 4.
Prepare the farro: Follow package directions or cook it as you would pasta – Use extra water, about 3-4 cups water for 1 cup farro. Add the farro to boiling water, cook for 15-20 minutes, then drain. Set aside.
For the dish: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs with 1 TBL water and season with salt. To a large wok or sauté pan, add 1/2 TBL peanut oil over medium heat. Add the eggs and scramble. When cooked, remove to a plate and set aside.
Wipe out the pan if necessary and add another 1 TBL oil. Add the nuts, Fresno pepper and shrimp. Keep working the ingredients until the shrimp begin to turn pink and curl up, about 15 seconds per side or so. When cooked, remove to the dish with eggs and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 1/2 TBL oil to the heated pan. Add the wild mustard greens garlic and pepper, and toss about three minutes. Add the soy, sugar and 2 TBL water. Stir to incorporate.
Stir in the farro, eggs, shrimp, peanuts and green onions. Work over the heat for 1-2 minutes and then transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately.
For an easy side, place 1 head of chopped wild mustard greens in a pot of salted, boiling water. Cook for two minutes and drain. When cool to touch, squeeze out any excess water (place them in a dish towel and squeeze or just use your hand).
Heat 1 TBL olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium high heat. Add 1-2 cloves chopped garlic and season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked wild mustard greens and turn up heat to medium high. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes or until garlic is fragrant (but don't burn it).
NOTE: You can also substitute broccoli rabe for mustard greens, following the same prep process. Broccoli rabe is a bit less bitter than mustard greens – whichever green you choose, know that brief boiling (blanching) removes a bit of the bitterness.
The corn meal pizza crust from Vicolo, a Sigona's local vendor, adds a depth of flavor to this dish that you don't want to miss. It's made using only fresh ingredients – nothing is frozen or artificial – and most ingredients are sourced locally. Their crusts, pizzas and more are handmade and hand-packaged, "the old fashion way, from scratch." Not a sausage fan? Simply leave it off. You can also substitute broccoli rabe for mustard greens, following the same prep process detailed below. Serves 2.
Directions: Add chopped wild mustard greens to a pot of salted, boiling water. Cook for two minutes and drain. When cool to touch, squeeze out any excess water (place them in a dish towel and squeeze or just use your hand).
Heat 1 TBL olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the cooked wild mustard greens, garlic and lemon zest, season with salt and pepper. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes or until garlic is fragrant (but don't burn it). Remove mixture from the pan and set aside.
Remove the sausage from the casing and crumble it well with your hands or a wooden spoon. Heat 1/2 tsp olive oil in a sauté pan over medium high heat then add the sausage. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Spread the greens mixture around the pizza crust, followed by the sausage. Top with cheese and bake according to crust directions.
Greens and Cannellini beans are a classic combination. I love cannellini beans with kale or wild mustard greens. While I prefer to leave it out, you can add ground turkey or top with a poached egg; we suggest the Wattle & Comb pastured eggs, available only at Sigona's. You can also substitute broccoli rabe for mustard greens, following the same prep process detailed below.
Directions: What really works best to temper the bitterness and still have vibrant-green greens is to boil wild mustard greens for 2 1/2 minutes. Begin by placing wild mustard greens in a large pot of salted, boiling water and cook for 2 1/2 minutes. Remove from boiling water and place immediately in large ice bath. Drain well, squeezing out excess water and patting dry with cloth towel.
In a large skillet, add olive oil, red pepper flakes and garlic for 2 minutes on medium heat. Turn heat to medium high and add wild mustard greens and beans. Work well, stirring, until all flavors are melded well, about 3 minutes. Season and serve.
Recipe courtesy of Nupur of the food blog One Hot Stove. Nupur says, "The resulting greens were absolutely flavorful without being bitter or harsh in the least. I served the Sri Lankan wild mustard greens with eggs cooked in a Sri Lankan coconut milk sauce and some steamed rice, for a wonderful Sri-Lankan themed Sunday night dinner." You can also substitute broccoli rabe for mustard greens, following the same prep process detailed below.
Directions: In a large skillet, heat a couple of teaspoons of oil on medium heat. Add onion, curry leaves and fresh chilies. Sauté for 4-5 minutes or until the edges of the onion start to brown.
Add the shredded greens, turmeric and salt to taste. Stir around and mix well until the greens start to wilt.
Lower the heat, cover the pan and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the greens are cooked and tender. If the greens aren't creating enough steam to steam-cook, add a couple of tablespoons of water to the pan.
Remove from heat and stir in the coconut. Serve as is as a side or as noted above.

Hardee's Archives - Burgers, Dogs, & Pizza, Oh My!
I admit I've become fussy about fast food (and C-store) breakfasts. Think I've covered them all, and some are pretty good, some are absolutely dreadful. Some could be made better with very little effort or expense.
I stopped in a Hardees/Carl's Jr on a recent road trip, in search of a menu item I've had before, the "Monster Biscuit (review)" which is egg, cheese, bacon, sausage and ham together!
Hardee's gets extra points off the top for making their biscuits fresh, in house daily. Not sure anywhere else does that. In any case, the Monster Biscuit was nowhere to be found, so I thought I would try the Ham Biscuit, figuring I'd be disappointed cause they would probably use the standard fast food "ham" (which isn't, is it?).
Lo and behold, behold and lo, no the biscuit had REAL ham on it, much like one of my other favorites, the ham biscuit at Bojangles, a southern chain.
So, surprise! I'm ok with Chik Filet's breakfast biscuits (also because they have tots), and Einstein's (because they cook them to order). I found a bologna breakfast biscuit in a c-store in Tennessee last week. That was different.
I enjoy Sonic's "Toaster" breakfast sandwiches (review), but I wish the toast was crisp instead of limp. Could be if they toasted it on the spot. Starbucks has a pretty good offering, which I will write about later this week. But it's spendy.
Finally, something else I will cover this week, spoiler alert, Dunkin Donuts toasted breakfast sandwich. Just plain dreadful. If you go to the search bar above, and use gas station or c-store as a search term, you can discover other stops I've made along the breakfast highway!
First opened in Greenville, SC, Hardee's is a 'semi-national' chain, mostly in the Eastern United States, and part of CKE (Carl Karcher Enterprises) which operates Carl's Jr. in the Western US; the two share some menu items.
Hardee's places a big emphasis on their breakfast menu, and offers a wider variety of choices than most competitors. Additionally, they push a "prepared fresh" method with their items. They bake their biscuits in-house, from scratch daily, and cook the other ingredients upon order.
On a whim, I picked up their "Monster Biscuit", which is a pile of egg, bacon, sausage, shaved ham, and cheese. It surprised me on every level, and is surely one of the best fast-food breakfast offerings in the land. My only preference for "improvement" would be that Hardee's also has a 'country ham' biscuit, and I think I'd prefer that ham on the Monster. Nevertheless, this is a good product, and as the advertising says, prepared fresh. Grab a couple today. Update 2/2016, Hardees has added a Hillshire Farms Smoked Sausage breakfast biscuit to their menu. Locator.
McDonald's was late in coming to my city. One had to drive 150 miles to get to one when I was growing up. But that's not to say my town was fast food-less. In addition to locally-owned establishments, our first burger chain entry was Henry's, followed a few years later by Sandy's.
Both were Midwestern chains, eventually both reaching between 150-200 outlets before fading from the scene. Sandy's was started in Illinois by a couple of guys who had one of the first McDonald's franchises, got mad at Ray Kroc, sued him, then started up their own deal.
Henry's was started as an off-shoot of Bressler's Ice Cream, in order to cash in on the drive-in craze, and to have additional outlets to sell their ice cream. In the early days, Henry's outlets far-outnumber McDonald's.
I remember our family going to Henry's on very rare occasions, probably when my mom was managing the brood because my dad was out of town. I do remember the sign that touted the 15 cent burger, or ten for a buck promotion.
Sandy's was a bit more full-line, with a "Scottish" theme, eventually sold out and converted the units to Hardees.
Here's an old Sandy's commercial.
McDonald's launches Angus, Carl's and Hardee's take umbrage. An article in the WSJ yesterday chronicles the marketing efforts of these three as they attempt to garner a larger share of the large burger market. Feeling that the McD angus was a copycat of CKE's (Carl Karcher Enterprises, parent company of both Carl's Jr and Hardees), Carl's took aim on Wednesday to introduce the Big Carl, a direct snub at the Big Mac. The Big Carl contains more than two times as much beer as the Big Mac, and at a lower price point. The Big Carl will be backed by a television campaign that will poke fun at both the competitor's sandwich and their marketing methods.
In September, Carl's Jr. will have a campaign to issue refunds to people who claim they like Big Mac's better. They will also employ a guerrilla marketing strategy of having a mobile unit outside McDonald's in Los Angeles and offering to trade diners their Big Macs for Big Carl's.
Hardees continues to push its Thickburger line, which is also "Angus" beef. The largest thickburger is the Monster entry, at 1420 calories, compared to McD's bacon and cheese Angus, which is a mere 790 calories.
Not many places in the U.S. you will find this, unless you are cruising the eastern Maritime provinces of Canada! But now, Hardee's has added a fried bologna biscuit, with egg and cheese, to its extensive breakfast sandwich menu. No word on whether or not sister chain Carl's, Jr., will follow suit, but that would sure be nice for Western US residents! And yes, Hardee's (are you old enough to remember when their slogan was "Charco-Broiled?") spells its bologna O-S-C-A-R!

You are at:Home»DOOH NETWORKS»DOOH in a 5G World
By Jon Jones June 28, 2019 DOOH NETWORKS, GUEST POSTS
5G is a term being bandied around a lot in media circles right now. The first wave of fifth generation wireless networks have been deployed, and consumers and businesses alike are getting excited by the promise of superior high-speed connectivity. But what exactly does 5G mean for the digital out-of-home (DOOH) landscape?
Perhaps the most cited benefit of 5G over and above previous iterations (see diagram) is speed. 5G is between 10- and 20-times faster than 4G and much, much more responsive. Other benefits, however, include better coverage and a lot more capacity. This means that your phone should now continue to function and upload content even when you are at a major sports stadium or music event. Finally, latency, or the time it takes devices to communicate with each other over wireless networks, will also drastically decrease. All these attributes will benefit the DOOH industry and enable greater creativity.
With such marked improvements regarding speed and latency, the possibilities for live and reliable streaming linkups between DOOH sites open-up. This is not a new approach for DOOH, and we have achieved this before in live streaming film premieres, catwalk shows, sports tournaments and other red-carpet events. For the theatrical release of Dr Strange, we utilized a satellite link for guests to 'open a portal' (or live video link) between London and LA. A satellite connection guaranteed us a good quality link, but even with a satellite link, we still experienced some delay in the feed, in addition to the heftier price tag. With 5G, the delay on the stream will be greatly reduced, and of course, the cost is also significantly less.
Having a greater technical backbone will extend the realm and capacity for linking and connecting different DOOH sites, and it also opens the door for many more creative and personalized experiences that link up to remote systems.
Our latest Augmented Reality campaigns are built on the Unity platform, which creates real-time rendering and is primarily used to develop computer games, so it requires extra computing power. These applications usually run on powerful gaming rigs, but it's not always possible to install this kind of hardware in bus shelters for example. What we can do, however, is tap into computing power in the cloud.
Personalization, Machine Learning, & Dynamic Creative Optimization
The ability to deliver real-time, personalized, and contextual creative to DOOH screens has been proven time and time again to boost engagement. With the overall increase of speed when 5G hits, improvements to data processing will enable DOOH advertisers to respond seamlessly with contextual creative across multiple locations – creative that can be informed by and optimized using real-time audience data insights.
But it goes further than this. Displays will be informed by and interact with other mobile devices, applications, cameras, and wearables to gather and process data and deliver more useful and targeted experiences. Artificial Intelligence (AI) will reform campaigns, optimizing creative on-the-go. Imagine an Augmented Reality campaign that could reflect the current weather conditions. Or perhaps a virtual brand ambassador powered by Artificial Intelligence that could engage and answer questions about the product or service being advertised.
Whilst these are realistic possibilities today, they currently require budgets and timelines that are too prohibitive. But with the arrival of 5G, and the ability to render in real-time on the cloud, it is more feasible than ever before to deliver reactive and interactive campaigns at scale. Campaigns of this nature no longer need to be limited to one-off stunts. Personalized interactive creative can now be delivered at scale, like never before.
5G will fundamentally change the way we use and think about the Internet. These are just a few of the areas 5G is likely to have an effect on DOOH in the immediate term. Although we are still some way off from having 5G fully at our disposal, new marketing approaches also take time to develop, so it makes sense to start thinking about what this high-speed connected landscape brings to DOOH now, and in-turn, what new creative possibilities DOOH will unlock for the advertiser.

Usually when a backpacking trip is planned, it either falls through because the weather is really bad or its not as fun as it could be because the weather is really bad. This past weekend though, the weather was actually really good. I had thought the trip was going to be to go up Mount Sterling Trail to campsite 38 and then come down Baxter Creek Trail. Instead of going down Baxter Creek we ended up doing Mount Sterling Ridge to Swallow Fork to Big Creek. It was a longer trip, but it got me a few more miles I get to mark off.
Campsite 38 is a rationed campsite. Michele had mad reservations so that we would have a place to camp when we got there. At first it appeared that all the sites were taken up. After further investigation we found a place near the horse hitching posts. It was away from the other campers and close to the bear lines. Campsite 38 is also where the Mount Sterling Firetower is located at. Unlike the Look Rock Firetower, you can climb all the way to the top of it. Since there was still daylight, that's what I did. Here's a picture that I took from the top. You can see just how nice the weather was.
After going up to the firetower and enjoying the views, it was time to come down and set up camp. We gathered up the firewood and started to make dinner. Hot Dogs and Bush's Baked Beans are most enjoyed when they are cooked over a campfire. The temperature was forecasted to get down to below freezing that night. Campsite 38 is actually at about 5,820 ft in elevation. It is the highest unsheltered campground in the Smokey Mountains. It probably got down to about 30 degrees, but I stayed sufficiently warm. I was actually awoken sometime around 2:00 when I heard something that sounded like a bunch of kids playing around our campsite. It was probably just a pack of coyotes.
After breakfast, we packed up our stuff and started our 10.9 mile journey back to the Big Creek Picnic area. The first leg was along the Mount Sterling Ridge trail. The sky was actually a little overcast, but visibility was actually pretty decent. It offered some good views… also coupled with some warm weather in the previous weeks, wild flowers had started to bloom. Swallow Fork had about 3 or 4 stream crossings. We stopped for lunch at the junction of Swallow Fork and Big Creek.
After about 3 miles down Big Creek we came to Mouse Creek Falls. For those that are looking for a nice easy hike to do, I'd recommend coming up to Mouse Creek Falls. It is actually only 2 miles from the Big Creek Picnic area, and the elevation grade is really light. If you were to start at the Picnic area, hike up to the falls, and then back down to the picnic area; your hike would only be 4 miles. A great beginner hike for those that are interested in getting into hiking. It also probably won't be near as crowded as Abram's Falls.
Also nearby is Mountain Mama's. If you go on your trip to Mouse Creek Falls, bring some money with you so you can go to Mountain Mama's for lunch/dinner. You can't miss Mountain Mama's. Its on the road that you have to take to get to the Big Creek Picnic area. When we went, it was right around dinner time, so we also got to be entertained by the "local folk".
I had also planned to meet up with Angela this weekend. Originally, we were gonna do something Saturday night, but after realizing it would be late and I would probably be sore and tired, Sunday would be the better time. We were talking and somehow Red Lobster's came up, so that's where we went. I seriously could eat at Red Lobster's more often and not get tired of it. I also decided that its been a while since I've been to West End, so I would visit. Of course this would be the day they announce the resignation of 3 elders and the appointment of 3 new ones.

Google: US Government Spying Has Tripled
Government requests for data soared from 3,580 in 2009 to 10,918, Google said on Thursday -- and those are only the data demands the web giant is allowed to publish.
A 2013 Transparency Report described on the Internet giant's Public Policy blog is the latest in an ongoing effort to provide a window into worldwide governmental efforts to tap into the digital profiles Google builds and the digital communications it relays. The report revealed a tremendous increase worldwide in government efforts to mine Google's data.
The company has used the periodic disclosures as an opportunity to push back against those government demands, many of which Google is banned from even discussing
'Governmental entities should be required to obtain a warrant ... before requiring companies like Google to disclose the content of users' electronic communications.' - Richard Salgado, Google's legal director of law enforcement and information security
"We strongly believe that the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) must be updated in this Congress," wrote Richard Salgado, Google's legal director of law enforcement and information security. "Governmental entities should be required to obtain a warrant—issued based on a showing of probable cause—before requiring companies like Google to disclose the content of users' electronic communications."
The company declined a FoxNews.com request to discuss the topic further. The latest transparency report, which the company plans to issue on Thursday, reveals that worldwide government requests for data have more than doubled since 2009, from countries including India, Germany, France, the U.K. and Brazil.
But the U.S. is far and away the top requester of Google's data, issuing 10,918 total requests for its information. Of those request, 68 percent were subpoenas, 22 percent were warrants, and the remainder were court orders and other requests.
Companies including Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook and even Apple have in recent months increased their efforts to fight back against such government requests, notably the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) requests that are court-ordered and cannot legally even be discussed.
"The U.S. government contends that we cannot share this information," Delgado wrote -- above a blacked out bar chart. Last week, Apple released its first such transparency report. The consumer electronics giant said it too was constrained by the government.
"At the time of this report, the U.S. government does not allow Apple to disclose, except in broad ranges, the number of national security orders, the number of accounts affected by the orders, or whether content, such as emails, was disclosed," reads the report. "We strongly oppose this gag order."
Google's latest report demonstrates a "scary trend," said Chris Calabrese, legislative counsel with the ACLU's Washington Legislative Office. "Over the last four years, the number of law enforcement requests in the U.S. alone has increased by a staggering 203 percent," he wrote on the company's site. "We have to push the administration and Congress to take the necessary steps to make sure we have the electronic privacy rights we deserve for the Internet age."
While Google and other companies acknowledge the need for collaboration with the government, they argue that the lack of transparency is a disservice to the American people.
"Google recognizes the very real threats that the U.S. and other countries face today and, of course, governments have a duty to protect their citizens. But the current lack of transparency about the nature of government surveillance in democratic countries undermines the freedom and the trust most citizens cherish," Salgado said Wednesday during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

Williams Spring PIT Project
Black Hills National Forest, Wyoming, 2004-2006
by Grant Sulham, PIT Volunteer
Williams Spring Project was a multiple year (2004-2006) PIT dig in Wyoming. It was conducted in the Black Hills National Forest with the University of Wyoming.
The site is within 20 miles of the Vore Buffalo Jump. Spearfish, South Dakota is the closest city. The plains along I-90 quickly change to thickly wooded hills with steep slopes. The Black Hills are described as "an island on the plains." As climate has changed, the plants and animals have migrated up and down the slopes of the hills. This was readily seen during the drive. Access is difficult due to the long drive on poor, often muddy roads. You had a choice of two roads to reach the site. One, when wet, was a muddy slide down a hill. The other was a step grade up and had frequent washouts.
The site is a meadow in a small valley surrounded by woods. Very pretty but it seemed to trap the heat of the day. It is also used for cattle grazing and mitigations had been taken to minimize the impact of the cattle. We frequently had a herd of cattle come through the area and the lease of the grazing argued "My cattle were here before your site." (We just nodded.) The spring provides ample year round water. During excavations, surface finds, and test pits it became clear that the site covered a large area.
The University of Wyoming had developed software that would build a 3-dimesional mapping of the site. It was fortunate that a retired surveyor was one of the PIT volunteers as multiple measurements were required of each artifact. As an example, a projectile point would be recorded as dorsal or ventral, length, width, direction, dip, etc. The university also conducted a field school under the leadership of Dr. Charles Reher. The PIT volunteers worked alongside the students. The volunteers noted that while the students had the education, the PIT volunteers had the experience. The students had as part of their final exam to complete a 1 meter square, 10 centimeters deep and have the floor be no more than 1 centimeter off. We did point out to one student that kneeling in the pit made holes.
The occupation layer was thin. While it covered several hundred years, rodent activity and the ever present cattle hooves, appear to have disturbed and compressed the layer. One thing that was impressive was the cooperation between the archeologist and the various tribes. There were 16 memorandums of understanding between the NFS and the tribes, clans and groups. Care was taken to avoid any sacred sites. Before the Williams Spring excavations there was discussion as to the location, timing and what areas would be avoided. Various tribal elders visited each project and a number of tribal youth groups also toured the project.
We conducted a road survey. There was a little used road to the north of the site. After a day of rain we walked the road finding debitage and a number of points. It showed that the site was extensive as well a providing excellent training in survey work.
Artifacts were mostly of a gray-white cryptocrystalline (CCS) material. Try saying "cryptocrystalline" after a long day and a couple of beers. One notable find was a piece of Knife River Flint. This is a rare rock that looks much like translucent brown taffy. It is only found in North Dakota and had to have traveled several hundred miles to reach the site. We found one hearth but no bones, or pottery. Unlike some other digs the soil was soft and projectile points were common. We decided to begin the excavation earlier on the morning as by mid-afternoon; it was too hot to work. For a number of reason a one meter test pit was dug NE of the main excavation and at the edge of the road. It produced a large number of artifacts as well as a large hammer stone. Yes, people would drift over and offer to "help."
We had a field trip to the Vore Buffalo Jump. This is in Sundance WY, just off I-90, and right next to the South Dakota state line. The jump is a sinkhole measuring 200 feet in diameter and 40 feet deep. It was used between 1500-1800 CE. When excavated in the 1970s bones were found to be 15 feet thick. Buffalo were herded over a period of days, and then stampeded. While they can quickly stop, the leaders were pushed into the pit by the rest of the herd. Sediment examination showed that several years would pass between uses. This appears to be due to the number of animals killed in each jump. The drives were typically in the fall when the hides were at their best. The drive lines have been surveyed and track how the herd was moved towards the jump and then stampeded. The arrangement of the bones show that a large number of people worked to process the kill. Dr. Reher remarked that the campsite for the hunters hasn't been found. It is suspected to be along a stream but erosion has likely removed any trace. Given the fall hunt schedule, bands were under pressure to process the meat and then travel to their winter encampments before snow came. I've travelled through the area in winter. There wasn't a lot of snow but there was a cutting cold.
Vore is an interesting place but watch for snakes and pace yourself on hot days.
Traditionally, the end of the dig saw a cookout. One of our volunteers brought the materials to have deep fried potato chips. He used an apple peeler to created long strings and then deep fried them. It was a wonderful treat at the end of the day when the cool breezes start. Last we had "Dig Bear" attend. He had his own PIT Passport and planned to travel to many more projects.

Q: Is it possible to have Twig force render broken bracket variables {{ example } instead of throwing an exception? I am using Twig to render customer generated templates. If a customer misses a closing bracket:
Currently, twig throws a \Twig_Error and returns a message:
Unexpected "}" in "custom-template-render5b91be77b99485.95837275" at line 2.

Would it be possible to have Twig render as many variables as it can get (presumably the beginning ones in the template) and then just abandon after getting rogue brackets?
$parameters = [
  'mine' => 'sentence',
  'variable' => 'broken',
  'another' => 'broken',
];
$templateString  = "Here is my {{ mine }} with a broken {{ variable } and {{ another }}";
echo $twigEngine->render($templateString, $parameters);

The above shows a missing closing second bracket. It would be great if the output was:
"Here is my sentence with a broken {{ variable } and {{ another }}"

Any ideas would be appreciated.

A: Validate your user input before saving it
$error = null;
try {
    $twigEngine->render($templateString, $parameters);
}catch(\Exception $e) {
    $error = $e->getMessage();
}

if ($error) {
    //display error
}else{
    //save customer template
}

Jean Vesque de Puttelange (12 November 1760 – 1 March 1829), born in Brussels, was a government official of the Holy Roman Empire, serving in administrations in the Habsburg Netherlands and Vienna. He belonged to a family originally from Lorraine, the Vesques de Puttelange (a town on the French border with Luxembourg). He was the father of the diplomat Johann Vesque von Püttlingen, who composed operas and songs under the pseudonym 'J. van Hoven'.

Life
He was born in Brussels, Austrian Netherlands, where his father - also named Jean Vesque  - was Inspector-General of the estates of the Bishop of Metz, and from 1760 Inspector of Imperial Lotteries, a post in the government of the Austrian Netherlands. His French mother, Cécilie de Roquilly, came from Commercy in the départment of Meuse.

He went to school in his mother's home town of Commercy, and then attended the faculties of philosophy and law at University of Louvain. In 1787, he was given a post in the government service in Brussels where he was on the commission charged with reform of ecclesiastical affairs.

On the outbreak of the Brabant Revolution in October 1789 (which occurred simultaneously with the French Revolution and the Liège Revolution, the whole Austrian administration sought safety in Luxembourg; because of a lack of horses, Vesque couldn't go, and stayed in :fr:Treurenberg in Brussels for two months. Brabant formed the nucleus of the unrecognised United Belgian States. Vesque eventually arrived in Trier, where the rest of the government in exile had gathered along with Philipp von Cobenzl.

An Austrian army defeated the Belgian revolutionaries in December 1790; in the Revolution's aftermath a convention was held at The Hague on 10 December 1790 to decide how to re-establish Austrian rule, at which Vesque was a negotiator. The Liège Revolution was also finally suppressed by Austrian forces in January 1791. His novel Le Roi Guiot was published in 1791. On 17 March 1793 Archduke Charles, Duke of Teschen became Governor of the Habsburg Netherlands and Vesque returned to Brussels where - among other functions, he acted as censor of theatres.

The peace only lasted a few months before the outbreak of the War of the First Coalition, which was an attempt by the Triple Alliance (Prussia, Austria and Britain) to defeat Revolutionary France. France invaded the Low Countries in 1794. The Austrian administration fled for the second time, and during the evacuation of Brussels Vesque was in charge of the government archives, taking them down the River Rhine through Holland to Düsseldorf; thence he went to Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle), and continued to Dillenburg in the Duchy of Nassau, where his time of service (since 1787) with the Austrian administration came to an end on 31 December 1794. It appears that he was relatively destitute; he had no belongings since everything was in Brussels. An Austrian Army was defeated in 1795 at the Battle of Fleurus; France formally annexed the Low Countries, and brought in a government in a typically new French style based on merit rather than parentage (the French period).

Exiled émigré

With the Austrian government in Belgium dissolved, Vesque hoped to get to Vienna. However, an Imperial decree made it illegal for government officials from the former Austrian territories to stay or settle in Vienna; and he fell ill on the way and stayed for some time in Frankfurt. With no home to go to, and with dwindling finances, Vesque set off through Germany and Switzerland (mostly on foot), relying on a small pension; he stayed some time in Italy (perhaps including Milan) studying fine art treasures ('Kunstschätze').

At the end of 1799 he was in Lower Austria in Korneuburg, just outside Vienna, but he pleaded in vain to obtain permission to stay in the capital. He travelled on to Bohemia where his fiancée, Therese Leenher von Sleeuw, was staying in Prague with her dispossessed family; they were finally married in Prague in 1801. He travelled into Moravia, Schleswig, and finally to West Galicia, which had recently come under Habsburg control in 1795 in the Third Partition of Poland.

Tutor to Polish nobility

Around 1800/1801 Vesque was employed by Prince Alexander Lubomirski as tutor for his daughter Princess Rosalia Alexandra Lubomirska in Łańcut Castle, Łańcut,
and then as librarian at the Lubomirski Palace in Opole Lubelskie, West Galicia (now Lublin Voivodship, Poland).

Alexander's daughter, named Rozalia (Rosalie) like her mother (the adventurous Rozalia Lubomirska), had an interesting childhood. The seven year-old Rosalie had been incarcerated in Paris during the Reign of Terror with her mother, whose house was frequented by British spies and Girondist counter-revolutionaries.

Her mother was arrested several times, held in the Conciergerie prisons, and guillotined in June 1794. The half-starved child was almost lost: her father Prince Alexander, who was in the French Army, heard of her plight, and sent someone to fetch her, who arrived only three days before she was to have been sent to the Foundling Hospital of Paris, the :fr:Hôpital Saint-Vincent-de-Paul. She was released after the Thermidorian Reaction (27 July 1794) and the death of Maximilien Robespierre, and later returned to Poland with her father.

The War of the Second Coalition was still being waged, and after the Battle of Marengo and Battle of Hohenlinden - both defeats for Austria in 1800 - the Treaty of Lunéville was signed in February 1801, in which France expanded into the Southern Netherlands and Luxembourg. The French Republic called for a vote from the inhabitants of the former states if they wanted to become French citizens and remain in a Franco-Belgian state, or whether to be exiled as foreigners and be dispossessed. Vesque told the resident French Minister in Vienna, citoyen Champagny, that he wished to be Austrian as one of those « individus belges qui ont déclaré vouloir rester sujets autrichiens » ('Belgian individuals who have declared that they wished to remain Austrian'); he was considered an émigré and his estates and property in Lorraine, in the département des Forêts in Luxembourg, and in Belgium were sequestrated, although he still couldn't get a job in Vienna because on the ban on Austrian-Belgian officials/civil servants.

Vesque's firstborn son, Johann Vesque von Püttlingen was born in the Lubomirski Palace in 1803, and was held by Princess Rosalia at his baptism.

Career in Vienna
When in 1804 the ban was lifted which had denied the Belgian officials from staying in Vienna, the Lubomirskis, father and daughter, and Vesque moved there straight away. Rosalie Lubomirski married Count Wacław Seweryn Rzewuski in Vienna that year, and Vesque soon received a court appointment as Royal Secretary ('K.K. Hofsecretär'), and Kanzleidirector of the Oberstkämmereramtes. In the job he acquired the full confidence of Oberstkämmerer Director Count Rudolf Wrbna. Vesque's house at that time formed a rallying point of emigrant Belgians staying in Vienna.

After the French victory over Austria, he was charged with the negotiations with the conquerors. From 1814 to 1816, he was attached to the personnel of Archduke Charles during his travels to Paris, Milan and Venice.(French) Charles was governor of Fortress Mainz in 1815.

In his capacity as Imperial Treasurer, Vesque appears in the painting of the coronation in 1816 of the Empress Charlotte-Augusta, the third wife of the Emperor Francis II. He was a State Councillor from 1818. After the death of Rudolph Wrbna there was a reduction in status for the director of the Oberstkämmer; Vesque got a position in March 1824 in the Royal Library (Hofbibliotek): he was successively Chief Archivist of the Imperial Library, and archivist of the artistic and natural collections in the Crown palaces, the position he held until his death in 1829.

He had an equally erudite fecund activity which led him to publish a number of works of literary merit, including poetry, fine art, and archaeology. His portrait was painted by Peter Fendi in 1822. He died in Vienna in 1829.

Family
In 1801 in Prague he married Thérèse Leenheer van Sleews, who came from a similarly emigrant noble family of Brussels. They had two sons, the diplomat and composer Johann Vesque von Püttlingen (1803-1883), and Karl (Charles).

After her departure from LOONA… Chuu did her first photoshoot
phuonganhvu1191 week agoLast Updated: January 20, 2023
Chuu (real name Kim Ji-woo), a former member of the group LOONA, did a photo shoot for the first time after becoming independent.
On the 20th, MAPS, a global art fashion magazine, released a pictorial with Chuu. This is Chuu's first cover decoration after her debut and her first pictorial after becoming independence.
The published image contains a positive and captivating image of Chuu. She exuded a new charm through unique styling and charismatic expression.
Meanwhile, Chuu filed an injunction against his agency Blockberry Creative in December 2021 to suspend the validity of the exclusive contract, and was partially ruled in favor in 2022.
However, the conflict with Blockberry Creative was not resolved, and later the agency expelled Chuu from the group for abuse of power. In response, Chuu said, "It is clear that I have never done anything that would make my fans feel ashamed."
Chuu is actively promoting as a singer and actor. Recently, she held a sales event for Jiwoo's store on YouTube and donated all of her proceeds to the Korea Music Power Plant.

Q: using GameScene as a parameter for passing it to a different class - Swift2 I am trying to have all the setup functions in a separate class called Setup, like this:
class Setup {
    var scene: GameScene!

    init(scene: GameScene){
        self.scene = scene
    }

    func setupBackground(bg1: SKSpriteNode, bg2: SKSpriteNode) {
        bg1.anchorPoint = CGPointZero
        bg1.position = CGPointMake(0, 0)
        bg1.size = CGSize(width: scene.size.width, height: scene.size.height)
        scene.addChild(bg1)

        bg2.anchorPoint = CGPointZero
        bg2.position = CGPointMake(0, bg1.size.height + 1)
        bg2.size = CGSize(width: scene.size.width, height: scene.size.height)
        scene.addChild(bg2)
    }
}

And then calling it in GameScene like this:
class GameScene: SKScene, SKPhysicsContactDelegate {
    var bg1 = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "lightSky")
    var bg2 = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "lightSky")
    var setup = Setup(self)

    override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
        self.size = view.bounds.size
        physicsWorld.gravity = CGVectorMake(0, -1.0)
        physicsWorld.contactDelegate = self

        setup.setupBackground(bg1, bg2: bg2)
    }
}

But am getting an error:

Cannot invoke initializer for type 'Setup' with an argument list of type '(NSObject -> () -> GameScene)'

So I am guessing the type of scene parameter is wrong but don't know which one is right then.

A: It works with initializing it like this:
class GameScene: SKScene, SKPhysicsContactDelegate {
    var bg1 = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "lightSky")
    var bg2 = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "lightSky")

    var setup: Setup!

    override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
        self.size = view.bounds.size
        physicsWorld.gravity = CGVectorMake(0, -1.0)
        physicsWorld.contactDelegate = self

        setup = Setup(scene: self)

        setup.setupBackground(bg1, bg2: bg2)
    }
}

Brightway Insurance named a top franchise for veterans four years in a row
Veterans are enjoying business ownership and success through Brightway Insurance, earning the company a spot on Franchise Business Review's list of the Top Franchises for Veterans for the fourth consecutive year. In addition to looking at each brand's overall Franchisee Satisfaction Score from its independent research, Franchise Business Review looks at satisfaction among franchisees who are military veterans. Out of hundreds of brands considered, only 80 made the unranked list.
"A lot of the skills that military personnel needed for a successful career in the armed forces are exactly the skills that we find make a good Agency Owner," says Brightway President and CEO, Michael Miller. "We're honored to be recognized by Franchise Business Review as a top franchise opportunity for veterans and look forward to partnering with many more veterans now that we have made opening a Brightway Agency easier than ever with our new, lower-investment franchise model."
Brightway offers veterans a 10% discount on the franchise fee, so the savings range from $500 to $6,000, depending on which franchise model they invest in.
"I started my career as an Agency Owner, and Brightway walked me through the entire process, with training, hiring and marketing, pretty much every detail needed to open. I could never have achieved my level of success on my own," said U.S. Air Force veteran and Brightway Agency Owner, Eric Seuffert, who owns an Agency in Cape Coral, Florida, and is getting ready to open his second location.
"In the military, we help and serve each other, and insurance is a great way to continue to help and serve others," said U.S. Navy veteran and Brightway Agency Owner, Gary Fitzpatrick, who owns an Agency in Marietta, Georgia. "Veterans can make great agents when they bring their experience of problem solving and relationship management."
Brightway's low-risk, high-reward business opportunities allow people from a wide variety of backgrounds to prosper. A centralized team of experts provides training and support in areas including Customer Service, Accounting, Marketing, Distribution, Business Analytics, Carrier Relations and Appointments, Licensing, Onboarding, Training, Hiring and Retaining personnel. The company's signature after-the-sale service empowers franchisees to focus on new business sales and provides their customers the personalized service they deserve.
"The reality is that two-thirds of the thousands of franchise opportunities available today are simply average or below average opportunities," said Eric Stites, Founder and CEO of Franchise Business Review. "That's the whole reason we do what we do. Franchise Business Review is like the Consumer Reports of the franchise world. We help prospective small business owners understand which franchises are the best opportunities—based on the actual experiences and satisfaction of other franchise owners. The 80 companies named in this year's report received the highest ratings from the veterans who own them on our independent satisfaction survey."
"I personally know so many small business owners who are scrambling to stay afloat this year," said Franchise Business Review President Michelle Rowan. "But the best franchise companies - like those on this year's list of the Top Franchises for Veterans - really stepped up support for their franchisees and helped them navigate through all the challenges of 2020. The beauty of owning a franchise is "you are in business for yourself, but not by yourself."

Both Sara and Sushant summed up the essence of the song in these words: "Thodi is deewangi, thodi si awaargi"
Team Kedarnath just added one more song to the playlist. The new song, titled Jaan 'Nisaar, has been shared by the film's lead cast Sara Ali Khan and Sushant Singh Rajput on social media. Both Sara and Sushant summed up the essence of the song in these words: "Thodi is deewangi, thodi si awaargi. Aayi hai in dono mein thodi si narazgi, hai inka ishq." Jaan 'Nisaar begins with a reminder to Mansoor (a Muslim pithu played by Sushant) that Mukku "pandito ki beti hai! Yahaan tumhara kuchh nahi hone wala." The song reveals that as the realisation dawns upon Mansoor that their love story may to see a happy ending, he begins to ignore Mukku.
Meanwhile, Mukku appears to be bewildered by Mansoor's sudden change of heart and tries to win him back with repeated attempts. In a glimpse, the song also reveals that Mansoor has a confrontation with Mukku's father as she's not willing to let go of Mansoor at any cost. Mukku also waits outside Mansoor's home drenched in rain till her father drags her away. The song ends with a flash of the Kedarnath floods, in which Mansoor can be seen attempting to save the lives of Mukku and her father.
Composed by Amit Trivedi, the romantic number has been sung by Arijit Singh while credits for lyrics of the song go to Amitabh Bhattacharya.
Directed by Abhishek Kapoor, Kedarnath marks Sara Ali Khan's Bollywood debut. The much-awaited film is a powerful love story set against the backdrop of the devastating Kedarnath floods of 2013. Kedarnath is slated to hit screens on December 7, just three weeks after which, Sara's second Bollywood film Simmba arrives in theatres.


It just opened after so many years. At a cost over $4 billion and just beautiful. If Houston had another $4 billion we could have more rail lines, but we are not New York City.
Wonderful observation Kitty! The Oculus is a masterpiece.
This is good to hear. After everything New York City has been through in recent years, they deserve every good thing they get.
I would really like to see it in person though.
