Notes from the Fickell presser, and other happenings around the world of college football, including updated NCAA investigation information (it's not just us) and the latest on conference expansion.
Injury Update- Nathan Williams is still out, and Adam Homan had surgery this week. Andrew Sweat is banged up, but expected to play, but there's no official word on Philly Brown at this time.
Fickell Speaks- If you're a fan of discussing time outs and so forth, you'd have loved today's press conference. The long and short of it- He wished he would have called a time out prior to Miami doing so late in the fourth, but was also thinking that the offense would need at least two if they were going to make a comeback from being down two scores.
I know Joe hurts every bit as bad as I do. Just like me up here, I smile and I show that I'm happy and everything's going great when my stomach down inside is sometimes in a knot.
No, that's not something you want to see. Whether he was disguising or masking how his gut felt, I have confidence that Joe hurts every bit as much as I hurt. We try and tell those guys, nothing goes unnoticed whether it's on the sidelines of a game, whether it's in a classroom, wherever you are having something to eat. Just make sure you understand that.
As we mentioned earlier, the Ohio State Athletic Department today released their response to the NCAA's Notice of Allegations, and submitted recommended sanctions for the transgressions.
You can find the documents here: OSU Newsroom NCAA Documents, including the initial NOA.
One thing to be clear of- These are the University's response to the NCAA's Notice of Allegations. While that may be obvious, let me also express the converse- These are NOT the university's response to any other allegations, founded or dis-proven, that have been raised by Sports Illustrated (to an extent), ESPN, The Dispatch, That one guy on the fan-board you subscribe to, or Something that your mom's mail carrier's girlfriend's podiatrist's veterinarian told them.
Information was reported to the University and the enforcement staff subsequent to the Notice of Allegations that still is being reviewed. This review continues and the University will report any additional violations if necessary in the future.
And given the fact that the University has been quick to respond thus far, there's little reason to doubt this is true.
I'd encourage readers to look through the entirety of the documentation- if nothing else, it will help prepare you for future conversations here and with friends regarding this matter. They are incredibly thorough.
Again, admits that he should have taken the information to the University officials.
It's a brief document, and I imagine that there will be more questions for Tressel during the meeting in August with the NCAA, which the University has said he will be attending in spite of his "retirement".
Update- All documents in the University's response to the NCAA are now available online.
Update 2- Gene Smith defends the proposed sanctions.
Today, the Ohio State University submitted its response to the NCAA's Notice of Allegations, including several self-administered penalties, according to the Columbus Dispatch.
The Dispatch, is reporting that the University is placing the football program on probation for two years and is vacating all wins (including the Sugar Bowl) from the 2010 season.
While admitting that the Athletic Department technically falls under the category of "repeat offender" (stemming from issues with the basketball program in 2004, as well as Troy Smith receiving improper benefits in the form of $500), it holds that the circumstances warrant the recommended response.
According to the Dispatch, the University is not recommending or administering stricter punishment (post-season bans, lost scholarships) due to the fact that the violations were contained to former coach Jim Tressel, who the University asked to resign. Interestingly enough, Tressel will be paid for the month of June and will not be asked to pay the $250,000 fine initially levied by the University. He will also appear at the August 12th hearing in Indianapolis. Update- here is the agreement between the University and Coach Tressel.
It is after that hearing that the final decision regarding this situation will be made- these are self imposed sanctions, and should be seen as a "baseline" for NCAA response. It is speculated that the final tally will include post-season bans and scholarship losses, as well as significant sanctioning for the former Ohio State coach.
One additional finding in the Dispatch's report- Another student-athlete was found to have received discounted tattoos in exchange for memorabilia, and has been suspended. The University has appealed to the NCAA for his reinstatement- at this time his identity is unknown.
Get better documentation of car purchases. To ensure that athletes are not getting inappropriate deals, dealers or players would provide records detailing transactions. Currently, athletes report how they obtained cars, but they don't provide any supporting documentation.
Set a time limit on "loaner cars." The university would limit how long a student-athlete can borrow a car from a dealer or individual. Currently, Ohio State does not set a limit.
Audit vehicles several times a year. Ohio State would check parking lots used by athletes to ensure their cars are registered with the university. Unregistered cars would be ticketed.
Check everyone who receives game passes from football or men's basketball players. At the beginning of the school year, students would be required to provide a list of anyone who might receive passes to games. The compliance department would talk to each person to determine his or her relationship to the student. Currently, Ohio State does random checks.
Examine students' budgets. A new software program will help officials guide students on how to manage their money. Ohio State officials say the main goal is to educate students, some of whom have never had a checking account before college, but the software also could help generate red flags about students who are living beyond their means.
Many of these recommendations were already in the works following the earlier audit of the compliance office.
Ohio State's compliance department says much of its focus is on educating students and coaches about NCAA rules to avoid violations. But they say a big focus now is to address the people outside of Ohio State.
"The people who are trying to get close to (students) for unscrupulous reasons are pretty talented and skilled at what they do … so their ability to persuade and influence is pretty doggone good. … That to me is one of our biggest weaknesses and where our focus is," Smith said.
To get the outside community involved, for instance, the university plans to work with car dealers who agree to provide records about sales. Athletes interested in buying cars could check the university's list of participating dealers to simplify the effort to follow NCAA rules. Students who buy elsewhere would be required to provide the records themselves.
Given that the compliance office was already working with dealers, which resulted in the "one dealer sold a lot of Buckeyes cars!!1!l1!l" crisis, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
But what I'm most intrigued by is the education of the "people outside of Ohio State"- since I don't believe that many of them will care. Most of the things being investigated aren't accidental (Like Nebraska's "recommended reading" problem), but actual attempts on the part of both parties to disregard NCAA and OSU guidelines.
And all the "education" in the world isn't going to solve that.
We'll continue to bring you coverage of this as it develops, including full coverage and commentary as the official response is made available to the Media.
What a better way to put a bow on the big game in the Big Easy than with a couple of visual reminders of the Buckeyes winning their 6th BCS game.
First up, this great highlight video from Robby Donoho that highlights the action on the field as the Buckeyes' were able to end the drought of victories against SEC schools.
We're excited to also let you know that you'll be seeing more of Robby's work here at tBBC as he brings his talents to our little corner of the Buckeye web-o-sphere.
Foot on the gas pedal - Well, at least for the first half… After that, everyone's ulcers kicked in.
The Buckeye Five to shine – Indeed. From TD catches and runs, to THE play that sealed the game; these guys earned their redemption.
No false starts – Failboat, party of one.
Tomorrow evening, Ohio State will be playing in their 9th BCS bowl game, the most appearances by any school. If they play well, they have the opportunity to win their sixth BCS bowl, which would tie Southern Cal (even though one win was vacated) for the most BCS victories by any school.
Clearly, Ohio State has had its share of BCS success, no matter what the talking heads on TV say.
Despite the past success, or more likely because of it, anticipation for the Sugar Bowl is down in Buckeye land. Ohio State's fan base has been spoiled by unparalleled success the past decade, which leads to disappointment at anything less than a national championship run. Good or bad, that is just the way it is these days.
Obviously, the off field shenanigans don't help.
When news of the indiscretions broke, my holiday season (at least the football enjoying part of it) went to hell. On top of that, a Buckeye win will be tainted and a loss will add to Buckeye bowl woes against the SEC. If that weren't enough, after a truly terrible showing by the Big Ten on New Year's Day, the reputation of the entire conference rests with the good guys yet again.
Clearly, the baggage and the implications of the game are staggering. It is a unique situation to say the least, and a game that is difficult to get excited for due to the circumstances.
Arkansas, on the other hand, will be playing in their first BCS bowl game and the differences between the two fan bases are night and day in terms of excitement (even though I am sure the Buckeyes will be well represented in New Orleans, as always).
My hope is that once the two teams hit the field, all of the garbage will disappear and we can all enjoy a great game of football. To truly enjoy the game, the television may be going on mute very quickly.
A repeat of last year's Rose Bowl – Shake things up with the playbook, catch them off guard, but above all, be in attack mode from start to finish.
Foot on the gas pedal - After Saturday's embarrassment for the Big Ten, we need to remind the nation that we are not the lousy conference that they think we are. Also, at the same time, we'll be reminding everybody why we are the 6-time champions.
The Buckeye Five to shine – Haters gonna hate no matter what we do, but the fans will rally behind Tressel's decision if the five suspended players outshine everybody on the field.
No false starts – Because if two of us ask for it, maybe it'll happen.

Een mark is een grensgebied ingericht om een achterliggend stuk land te verdedigen, bekend vanaf het Karolingische rijk. De bestuurder en beheerder van dit gebied werd markgraaf genoemd, die als voornaamste taak had het gebied militair te verdedigen tegen invallers.

Het woord mark of marke wordt ook gebruikt voor een gezamenlijke bestuursvorm van boerenbedrijven vanaf ongeveer de 11e eeuw:

Etymologie
Het woord mark komt van het Oudnederfrankisch woord marka ("grens") en duidt een grensgebied aan tussen twee landen. Gedurende de heerschappij van de Karolingische Dynastie verspreidde het woord zich door Europa.

Het Oudfranse woord marka komt van het Proto-Germaanse  marko hetgeen weer afstamt van de Proto-Indo-Europese stam *mereg- hetgeen "grens, uiteinde" betekent. Van de stam *mereg- komt het Latijnse margo ("marge"), het Oudierse mruig ("grensgebied"), het Perzische marz ("grens, land"), het Noorse mark ("grensgebied, woud") en ook het Engelse mark ("(merk)teken").

Het schijnt dat "mark" in het Oudengels "grens" betekende, of "teken van een grens" en dat de betekenis later uitgroeide tot "teken in het algemeen". Het Engelse woord "march" in de betekenis van "grensgebied" is geleend van het Franse woord marche hetgeen zijn oorsprong vindt in het Frankisch. Het woord "mark" in de zin van "grensgebied" is een moderne interpretatie van het Duitse Mark hoewel het in sommige gevallen simpelweg kort is voor Markgrafschaft.

Soms spreekt men ook van een Grensmark wat dus een pleonasme is.

In tegenstelling tot wat tegenwoordig als bufferzone wordt aangeduid, behoorde een mark gewoonlijk duidelijk toe aan een bepaalde grootgrondbezitter en in plaats van wat tegenwoordig een gedemilitariseerde zone wordt genoemd, was een marke juist bedoeld als verdediging van het achterliggende gebied en speciaal versterkt tegen mogelijke aanvallen van buurlanden.

Frankische marken
Keizer Karel de Grote stichtte volgende marken:
 Spaanse Mark rond Barcelona in het hedendaagse Catalonië, ter verdediging tegen de Arabieren in de rest van Spanje. Samen met het gebied van Septimania spreekt men ook wel van de Gothische Mark, genoemd naar het oude Visigothenrijk.
 Bretonse Mark tegen de invallen van het onafhankelijke Bretagne
 Deense Mark tussen Eider en Schlei ter verdediging tegen de Denen. De naam Denemarken is hier later uit ontstaan.
 Het zeer uitgebreide gebied van de Noordmark, ter verdediging tegen de Saksen.
 Saksische Mark tussen Eider en Elbe in het huidige Holstein, ter verdediging tegen de Slavische Obodriten.
 Thüringische Mark in de omgeving van de Saale, ter verdediging tegen de Sorben.
 Frankische Mark in het hedendaagse Opper-Franken (een Regierungsbezirk in Beieren) ter verdediging tegen de Tsjechen.
 Avarenmark tussen Enns en Wienerwald ter bescherming tegen de Awaren.
 Pannonische Mark ten oosten van Wenen
 Opper-Pannonië tussen Wienerwald en Raab
 Neder-Pannonië tussen Raab en Drau
 Oostmark (Ostmark), ruwweg huidig Neder-Oostenrijk
 Mark Karinthië (later Hertogdom Kärnten) tegen de Slovenen.
 Mark Friuli.

Marken in het Heilige Roomse Rijk
Koningen en keizers van het Heilige Roomse Rijk stichtten nog verschillende marken; vooral de Ottonen voerden een uitgesproken 'markenbeleid', waarbij ze aan de grenzen graafschappen en hertogdommen samenvoegden dan wel splitsten om er markgraafschappen van te maken.

In het westen:
mark Antwerpen
markizaat Bergen op Zoom
mark Ename
mark Valencijn (Valenciennes)
 markgraafschap Baden

In het oosten:
Van noord naar zuid langsheen de oostgrens van het Rooms-Duitse Rijk hebben de volgende markgraafschappen bestaan.
mark Sleeswijk (Schleswig)
Billunger Mark of de mark van Herman Billung
Saksische Oostmark (Sächische Ostmark) of de mark van Gero; synoniemen: Elbemark, Sorbenmark. De Saksische Oostmark werd in 965 opgedeeld in:
 de Noordmark (Nordmark), in 1157 ontstond hieruit de Mark Brandenburg en het latere keurvorstendom Brandenburg
 mark Lausitz, verder opgesplitst in het markgraafschap Opper-Lausitz en Neder-Lausitz
mark Merseburg
mark Meissen (Meißen), een van de twee stamlanden van het Saksische vorstenhuis Wettin
 mark Landsberg, het andere stamland van het Huis Wettin
mark Zeitz
 markgraafschap Moravië, deel van het latere koninkrijk Bohemen; Moravië was een grensgebied met de Hongaren.
 markgraafschap Oostenrijk (Österreich), voorgekomen uit de Beierse Oostmark (Marcha orientalis)

In het zuiden:
 verschillende kleine en grote markgraafschappen in Karinthië, Stiermarken, Krain en Windische Mark, met veel overlap en synoniemen.
 markgraafschap van Verona en Aquileia, veelal Verona genoemd
mark Istrië

Frankrijk
Markgraafschappen pasten niet in het centralistische beleid van de Franse koningen. Een bekende uitzondering is het markizaat van Provence, dat een rol speelde tijdens de Kruistochten tegen de Katharen. Uiteindelijk schonk Filips III van Frankrijk in 1274 aan paus Gregorius X wat restte van het markizaat: de streek rond Avignon. Dit pauselijk gebied is bekend als de Comtat.

Hedendaagse marken
De benaming wordt nog steeds gebruikt in de regio's Wales en Schotland (Marches in het Engels).

I would like to set the test environment using 3 MPC5646C boards for verify flexray that has 3 nodes.
Is it possible? If possible, I wonder how to connect 3 boards.
If I connect 3 boards using "active star coupler", is additional evaluation board that mounted active star (e.g TJA1080) needed?
If yes, is it possible to use XPC5646C as active star? Does NXP have the active star board?
we do not have such board. The easiest way is to use passive star bus topology - you don't need additional HW.

Q: Why does my JQuery .after() inserts code before the element? I got this:
               $('input[name=whatWeLove1]').before('

');
               $('input[name=whatWeLove1]').after('

');

and it generates this:

<input type="text" name="whatWeLove1" class="" maxlength="40">

Why?
Cheers,
Stefan

A: Because jQuery will automatically assume you don't want to just insert opening tags and close the element for you.
You want to use .wrap();
  $('input[name=whatWeLove1]').wrap('

');

A: JQuery manipulates the DOM, not the HTML. It's a subtle distinction, but it means it won't let you produce invalid HTML. Running the first line produces unmatched tags until you run the second line, and it won't let you do that
You need to use the wrap function, as @NicolaPeluchetti describes.

A: Its probably because you're inputting broken code (before you fix it)... so the browser (or possibly firebug or possibly jquery) is trying to display it as properly formatted/fixed.
The best way to achieve what you're trying to do is to use .wrap()
$('input[name=whatWeLove1]').wrap('

');

A: I think you want
$('input[name=whatWeLove1]').wrap('
').wrap('
');

A: because you insert the element before:
 $('input[name=whatWeLove1]').before('

');

This auto-closes the element before your input element, to prevent faulty markup.
YOu can either create the

 structure and insert your input afterwards or wrap() the input directly.

World Cup 2018: South America Regional Breakdown
Five teams from South America qualified for the FIFA World Cup 2018. Including the ultimate FIFA World Cup Team Brazil, who has won the most titles. South America is definitely not a region to overlook as four of the five teams are ranked within the top 20 with Uruguay falling in at position 21.
Argentina is returning to the World Cup tournament for their 17th appearance, they already have two championship titles and are ranked 4th in the world. The La Albiceleste's went through two coaches during World Cup Qualifiers before finding their groove with Jorge Sampaoli who previously lead Chile to the Brazil World Cup Knockout stages. Argentina is lucky enough to have one of the best footballers in history on their team. Lionel Messi has been crowned FIFA's player of the year five times, he is captain of the team and this will be his fourth World Cup Tournament.
Argentina drew Group D where they will kick off against Iceland, Croatia and Nigeria.
Ranked 2nd in the world Brazil has won a total of 5 championship titles, this is the most titles for one country. They have appeared in a total of 20 World Cups and will be looking to take the number one position back once the tournament kicks off. Brazil was the first team from CONMEBOL to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, under the leadership of Tite they won nine consecutive games to qualify. The Brazilians will be hoping to rely on star player Neymar but, he has been plagued by injury in the build-up to the World Cup. This will be Neymar's second World Cup but, he is already a FIFA Confederations Cup Winner, Olympic Gold medalist and he was part of the 2015 FIFA Club World Cup Champions when he played for Barca.
Brazil is in Group E with Switzerland, Costa Rica and Serbia.
Colombia only has 5 appearances under their belt but, each time they do better and better making it to the Quarter-finals in 2014. The team is ranked 13th in the world but, coach Jose Pekerman has the power ti change that. He has been with the team since 2012 and helped the Los Cafeteros qualify for two World Cups consecutively. Brazil 2014 was a great tournament for the Colombians key player James Rodriguez, he was awarded the Adidas Golden Boot award and we are sure he is eyeing it out once again.
Colombia is in Group H alongside Poland, Senegal and Japan.
It's been a while since Peru qualified for a World Cup Tournament. They have four appearances so far and are ranked 11th in the world. The man who helped Peru qualify for their first World Cup in 36 years is Ricardo Gareca who was appointed as coach in 2015. Jefferson Farfan proved himself as the key player of the squad when he netted vital goals in the qualifying stages. At the age of 33 this will be his first world cup so he will be hoping to help his team make it through the group stages.
Peru has been drawn in Group C and needs to beat the likes of France, Australia and Denmark.
Uruguay has a dozen World Cup Tournaments under their belts and they have claimed the championship titles twice. However, they are the lowest ranked (ranked 21st) South American team at the tournament and the only team outside of the top 20 in their region. Oscar Tabarez has been with the national team since 1990 he has seen them through three world cup tournaments and their 2011 Copa America win. As the leading goalscorer for Uruguay, all eyes will be on Luis Suarez, this will also be his third World Cup.
Uruguay will be joining the hosts Russia in Group A along with Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

Grapes are the one of the medicines used for asthma. They moisten the lungs and hence are effective in curing asthma.
Grape is a laxative, so if you face problems with your stomach, this proves to be effective.
One may also replenish iron content in the body with grapes and put off the fatigue.
Grapes are great for your kidneys too as they eliminate uric acid and acidity from your kidneys.
Bestowed with antiviral and antibacterial properties, this fruit helps in preventing fever and other illness.
Increasing nitric acid levels in the blood, they also prevent clotting and hence, strike out chances of heart diseases or strokes.
Grapes have properties that give you a sharp memory and reduces traces of Alzheimer's disease.
People obsessed with age should make it a point to eat grapes. It is because they have properties that prevent age related vision or muscular degeneration.
In the famous bedtime story 'The fox and the grapes', the fox did not know this valuable information before drawing the conclusion that 'grapes are sour' and walked off. However, now that you know the plus points of grapes, you may not have second thoughts!

Turns out that it was actually NYT veteran Nicholas D. Kristof, who announced that he was dropping the "D." from his byline, 32 years after The Harvard Crimson made him put it in there.
I think in the Internet age, the middle initial conveys a formality that is a bit of a barrier to our audience. It feels a bit ostentatious, even priggish. If my aim in my 20's was gravitas, now I want to reach people and connect with them, and I wonder if the stuffiness of the middle initial isn't a little off-putting. I doubt if it makes much difference, frankly, but at the margin I think that we're moving to a kind of journalism that is more casual, more informal, more personal, and a very formal byline seems as out of place as a three-piece suit in the newsroom.
But has the new, trendier, laid-back Nicky Kristeezy actually grown casual and informal, and — this is the real test — can he stop trying to insert gravitas in everything he ever writes, ever?
Bah hah hah are you kidding.

\section{Introduction}

\subsection{Distance oracles}
Given a graph $G = (V,E)$ with edge weights, an {\em approximate distance oracle} for $G$ is a data structure that can report approximate distance queries between vertex
pairs efficiently. For any vertices $u,v\in V$, if $d_G(u,v)$ denotes the shortest path distance from $u$ to $v$ in $G$ and if
$\tilde{d}(u,v)$ denotes the approximate distance output by the oracle, we require that $d_G(u,v)\leq \tilde{d}(u,v)\leq\delta d_G(u,v)$, where $\delta\geq 1$
is the approximation (called also the (multiplicative) {\em stretch} parameter) of the oracle. The goal is to give an approximate distance oracle with small space, query time, stretch, and
(perhaps to a lesser extent) preprocessing time.

Our focus is on undirected graphs as it can be shown that no non-trivial oracles exist for directed graphs \cite{TZ01}. A seminal result in this area is that of Thorup and
Zwick \cite{TZ01}. For any positive integer $k$ and a graph with non-negative edge weights and with $m$ edges and $n$ vertices, they gave an approximate distance oracle with
space $O(kn^{1+1/k})$, stretch $2k-1$, query time $O(k)$, and preprocessing time $O(kmn^{1/k})$. For constant $k$, the trade-off between the first three parameters
is optimal, assuming a widely believed and partially proved girth conjecture of Erd\H{o}s \cite{E63}. For super-constant $k$, small improvements exist. In \cite{W13}, it was shown
how to improve the query time to $O(\log k)$ while keeping the same space, stretch, and preprocessing. More recently, Chechik \cite{C14} further improved this to $O(1)$ query time.
Mendel and Naor \cite{MN06} gave an oracle with $O(n^{1+1/k})$ space and $O(1)$ query time at the cost of a constant-factor increase in stretch.

So far, we have only discussed queries for approximate \emph{distances} but it is natural to require the data structure to also be able to report corresponding
\emph{paths}.
We say that an oracle is {\em path-reporting} if it can report those paths in time proportional to their lengths (in addition to the query time needed for distances), and we say that it is a not path-reporting oracle otherwise.
The oracle of \cite{TZ01} and the $O(\log k)$ query time oracle of \cite{W13} are path-reporting, but this is not the case for the oracle of Mendel and Naor \cite{MN06}
nor for the oracle of Chechik which uses their oracle as a black box. Note that a space requirement of order $kn^{1+1/k}$ is
$\Omega(n\log n)$ for any choice of $k$. In this paper, we focus on path-reporting distance oracles
that use $o(n \log n)$ space, albeit at the price of increased stretch.

\subsection{Distance Labeling}
A natural variant of distance oracles arises when we start to distribute the data structure among all vertices.
Consider a graph problem involving queries for pairs of vertices. In a \emph{labeling scheme} for this problem, the goal is to assign as short labels as possible to
each vertex of the input graph so that a query for any pair $(u,v)$ of vertices can be answered (preferably efficiently) exclusively from the labels assigned to $u$
and $v$. We are interested in a {\em distance labeling} scheme where given labels of two vertices $u$ and $v$, a distance estimate $\tilde{d}(u,v)$ that satisfies
$d_G(u,v) \le \tilde{d}(u,v) \le \delta \cdot d_G(u,v)$ can be efficiently computed.

Distance labeling was introduced in a pioneering work by Peleg \cite{P00a}.
The distance oracles of Thorup and Zwick \cite{TZ01} and their refinements \cite{W13,C14} can serve as distance labeling schemes as well. (The maximum label size becomes $O(n^{1/k}\cdot\log^{1-1/k}n)$ words, and other parameters stay intact.) This is, however, not the case for Mendel-Naor's oracle \cite{MN06}.

To summarize, {\em all} existing distance labeling schemes use $\Omega(\log n)$ words per label in the worst case. The labeling scheme that we devise in the current paper uses $o(\log n)$ words per label, for graphs with polynomially bounded diameter. On the other hand, its stretch guarantee is much larger than that of \cite{TZ01,W13,C14}.

\subsection{Labeled Routing}
In a closely related {\em labeled routing} problem we want to precompute two pieces of information for every vertex $u$ of the input graph. These are the {\em label} of $u$ and the {\em routing table} of $u$. Given a label of another vertex $v$, the vertex $u$ should decide to which neighbor $w$ of $u$  to forward a message  intended for $v$  based on its local routing table and on the label of $v$. Given this forwarded message with the label of $v$, the neighbor $w$ selects one of its own neighbors, and forwards it the message, and so forth. The {\em routing path} is the $u$-$v$-path which will eventually be taken by a message originated in $u$ and intended for $v$. (Assuming that the routing scheme is correct, the path will indeed end in $v$.) The {\em stretch} of a routing scheme is the maximum ratio between a length of a routing $u$-$v$ path and the distance $d_G(u,v)$ between $u$ and $v$, taken over all (ordered) pairs $(u,v)$ of vertices.

Labeled routing problem was introduced in a seminal paper by Peleg and Upfal \cite{PU88}, and it was studied in \cite{C99,EGP98,AP92,ANLP90}.
The state-of-the-art labeled routing scheme was devised by Thorup and Zwick \cite{TZ01a}. It provides stretch $4k-5$ and uses routing tables of size $O(\mathit{polylog}(n) \cdot n^{1/k})$ and labels of size $O(k \cdot {{\log^2 n} \over {\log\log n}})$.

The space usage by current routing schemes is at least logarithmic in $n$ (counted in words; each word is $O(\log n)$ bits). In many settings such space requirement is prohibitively large. In this paper we show a labeled routing scheme in which the space requirement per vertex (both labels and routing tables) can be as small as one wishes, for graphs with diameter at most some polynomial in $n$. On the other hand, similarly to the situation with distance labeling schemes, the stretch guarantee of our scheme is much larger than that of \cite{TZ01a}.

\subsection{Our Results}
We introduce two new data structures that report paths in undirected graphs. All have query time proportional to the length of the returned path.
The first applies to weighted graphs with diameter polynomially bounded
in $n$. For any $t\geq 1$, it reports paths of stretch $O(\sqrt tn^{2/\sqrt t})$ using space $O(tn)$. It may be distributed as a labeling scheme using $O(t)$ space per vertex (or $O(t\log n)$ bits), and the preprocessing time is $O(tm)$. See \theoremref{thm:soc} for the formal statement. \footnote{For arbitrary diameter $\Delta$, the space and preprocessing time increase by a factor of $O(\log_n\Delta)$.}
This data structure can also be modified to provide labeled routing. Specifically, using tables of size $O(t)$ and labels of size $O(\sqrt{t})$ our routing scheme provides stretch $O(\sqrt{t} \cdot n^{2/\sqrt{t}} \cdot \log n)$.

The second data structure is a distance oracle that applies only to unweighted graphs. In one of the possible settings, it can provide for any parameters $k\ge 1$ and $\epsilon>0$, a path-reporting distance oracle with stretch $O(kn^{1/k}\cdot(k+n^{\epsilon/k}))$, using space $O(kn/\epsilon)$ and preprocessing time $O(kmn^{1/k})$. See \theoremref{thm:multi}, and also \theoremref{thm:oracle} for more possible tradeoffs.

To our knowledge, our distance labeling and labeled routing schemes are the first that use $o(\log n)$ words per vertex. Our distance oracles are the first path-reporting oracles for general graphs that use space $o(n \log n)$.

\subsection{Overview of Techniques.}
Our first oracle is based on a collection of sparse covers. Roughly speaking, a sparse cover for radius $\rho$ has two parameters: $\beta$ is the {\em radius blow-up}, and $s$ the {\em overlap}. The cover is a collection of clusters, each of diameter at most $\beta\rho$, such that every ball of radius $\rho$ is fully contained in at least one cluster, and every vertex is contained in at most $s$ clusters (see \defref{def:cover} below for a formal definition). Sparse covers were introduced
by \cite{AP90}, and found numerous applications in distributed algorithms and routing (see, e.g. \cite{PU88,AP90a,P93,AP95,AGMNT08}). For the application to distance oracles and labeling schemes,
the radius blow-up corresponds to stretch and the overlap to space. The standard construction of \cite{AP90} for parameter $k\ge 1$ has radius blow-up $k$ and overlap $O(kn^{1/k})$. This overlap is at least $\Omega(\log n)$, and translates to such space usage per vertex. Here we show that one can obtain the inverse parameters: radius blow-up $O(kn^{1/k})$ with overlap $2k$ (in fact we can obtain overlap $(1+\epsilon)k$ for any fixed $\epsilon>0$).

Our first construction of a distance labeling scheme is very simple: it uses a collection of such sparse covers for all distance scales, and maintains a shortest-path tree for each cluster. In order to answer a path query, one needs to find an appropriate cluster in the right scale, and return a path from the corresponding tree.

Our second data structure combines sparse covers with a variation on the Thorup-Zwick (TZ) distance oracle. In order to save space, the "bunches" of the TZ oracle are kept only for a small set of carefully selected vertices. Furthermore, the TZ trees (from which the path is obtained) are pruned to contain only few important vertices. Given a path query, our pruned TZ oracle can only report a "skeleton" of the approximate shortest
path in the original graph. This skeleton contains few vertices (roughly one vertex per $p$ steps, for some parameter $p$). We then use a sparse cover to "fill in" the gaps in the path, which induces additional stretch.

\begin{comment}
\subsection{Additional Results - Minor Free Graphs}

Strong-diameter neighborhood covers for  graphs that exclude minor $K_r$, for a parameter $r$, were given in \cite{AGMW} and \cite{Busch}.
The covers of Abraham et al. \cite{AGMW} have stretch $O(r^2)$ and overlap $2^{O(r)} \cdot r!$.
The covers by Busch et al. \cite{Busch} have stretch 4 and overlap $f(r) \log n$, where $f()$ is a very fastly-growing function originated from Robertson-Seymour's structure theorem.
We devise a construction of covers with stretch  $k \ge r^2$, for a parameter $k$, and overlap $O(\log n/\log (k/r^2))$.
Our covers are better than those due to \cite{AGMW} for $r \ge \log\log n/\log\log\log n$.  Similarly, they compare favorably to the covers of  \cite{Busch} when $r$ is sufficiently large.

As a corollary of our construction of covers for minor-free graphs we also obtained new distance labeling and labeled routing schemes.
There are known constructions of distance oracles for such graphs, due to Abraham and Gavoille \cite{AG06}, and due to Kawabarayashi, Klein and Sommer \cite{KKS}. The latter schemes produce distance estimates with stretch guarantee $1+ \epsilon$, for an arbotrarily small $\epsilon > 0$, but their query time is $O(f(r) \cdot \log n )$  and $O(f(r) \cdot \log^2 n)$, respectively.
We get a distance labeling scheme with stretch $O(1)$, space per label $O(\log^2 n \cdot 2^{O(r)})$ and query time $O(\log (k\log_n \Delta))$, where $\Delta$ is the weighted diameter of the graph.

\end{comment}

\subsection{Related Work}
There has been a large body of work on distance oracles, labeling and routing for certain graph families (planar, excluded-minor, etc.) and bounded doubling dimension metrics \cite{T01,HM06,AG06,KKS11}. In these settings the stretch factor is usually $1+\epsilon$, which cannot be obtained with $o(n^2)$ space for general graphs.

For sparse graphs, very compact distance oracles were recently devised by Agarwal et al. \cite{AGH11,AGH12}.
They devise two types of distance oracles. One of them has small stretch but requires large space. This distance oracle is indeed path-reporting, but due to their large space requirement they are irrelevant to the current discussion. The other type of distance oracles in \cite{AGH11} has stretch at least 3. These latter distance oracles are very sparse, but they are not path-reporting. \footnote{The paper erroneously claims that they are \cite{AGH-p}.}

\subsection{Organization of the Paper}

After some basic definitions in \sectionref{sec:pre}, we introduce sparse covers with small overlap in \sectionref{sec:cover}. Our first data structure for weighted graphs with diameter polynomially bounded
in $n$, is presented in \sectionref{sec:simple}, and its adaptation for compact routing in

a practical and enterprising farmer and stock-raiser of the Mason City community of Custer county
From pages 676-677 of History of Custer County, Nebraska
Lincoln, Neb. : Western Publishing and Engraving Co., 1919
BENJAMIN L. NICHOLAS, a practical and enterprising farmer and stock-raiser of the Mason City community of Custer county, owns and operates 880 acres of land, constituting one of the valuable and highly improved These possessions have been acquired through the medium of the efforts of Mr. Nicholas and the members of his family and as the result of his consecutive endeavour he has won a place among the substantial citizens of his adopted county. Mr. Nicholas was born on Holloway farm, near Narberth. Wales, March 10, 1856. He is a son of Thomas and Martha (Lewis) Nicholas, and a grandson of Edward Nicholas and Evan Lewis, all of whom passed their entire lives in Wales. Thomas Nicholas was a successful farmer, a well-known and highly esteemed citizen, a Liberal in politics, and he and his wife were faithful members of the Calvinistic Methodist church. Of their eighteen children, six are living, and Benjamin L. was the only one to come to the United States.
Benjamin L. Nicholas was given a liberal education in his youth, including attendance at the high school, and was a bright scholar with a quick and retentive mind, samples of his penmanship at the age of thirteen years, as preserved in a beautiful book kept by himself, giving evidence that he was greatly advanced at that time. He was reared on his father's farm, and on February 28, 1881, he wedded Miss Margaret Beynon, who was born at Merthyr £, South Wales, August 28, 1857, a daughter of Rev. John and Ann (Williams) Beynon, the father having been a minister of the Congregational church. Rev. John and Ann (Williams) Beynon became the parents of four children Edward, who is deceased; Mary, who died in infancy; David John, who is a clergyman of the Congregational church and who is at the time of this writing a resident of Southampton, England; and Margaret, who is the wife of Benjamin L. Nicholas, the subject of this review.
Almost immediately after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas sailed for the United States, and within the year 1881 they arrived in Kansas, where they homesteaded a tract of eighty acres. This they subsequently relinquished, to come to Custer county, Nebraska, where, in 1884, they pre-empted a quarter- section of land. At the time of their arrival they had but two cows, and their first residence was a sod house, but Mr. Nicholas' ability, industry, and perseverance, with the assistance of his worthy wife, succeeded in overcoming all obstacles, and he kept adding to his land until he now has 880 acres. The sod house was abandoned for a commodious and comfortable dwelling, and the buildings are now all modern in character, while the other improvements are of the latest type. Around the residence are numerous shade- trees, which greatly add to the attractiveness of this country estate, and which were planted by Mr. Nicholas himself. He carries on general farming in the main, and also raises all kinds of livestock, and he has been very successful in both departments of farm enter- prise. As a citizen he has taken an active part in the life and government of the com- munity, having been justice of the peace for a time and a member of the board of county commissioners for six years, in addition to which he has rendered valuable service to the community as a member of the school board. In this connection it may be said that he has always been a great friend of education, and that all of his children are high-school graduates, while some have taken normal-school courses. Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas are members of the Baptist church. He is affiliated with the Mason City blue lodge of the Masonic fraternity, and with the Modern Woodmen of America.
Concerning the children of Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas the following brief record is consistently entered:
Martha Ann is the wife of E. G. Burrows, of Mason City.
Mary Theodosia is the wife of Nels Peterson, manager of the Burrows store at Mason City.
Margaret Britannia is the wife of Carl G. Bunnell, who is in the service of the Standard Oil Company, at Fargo, North Dakota.
Sarah Jane, a talented teacher of music, is now at the parental home.
Alice Ursula, who was formerly a popular teacher in the public schools of Mullin and Broken Bow, on the 1st of October, 1918, went to Fort Riley, Kan- sas, in the capacity of Red Cross nurse.
Gwendolyn Irene is the wife of W. J. Beachy, who was formerly superintendent of the public schools at Ansley, Custer county, and who for two years thereafter held the position of superintendent of the schools at Davenport, this state: he then took a radio course, in preparation for service in connection with the nation's participation in the world war, and at the time when the great conflict came to a close he was attached to the Forty-sixth Corps, in California.
Elizabeth Marion is the wife of John C. Eloe, a prosperous farmer in Custer county,
John Thomas, who was graduated in the Mason City schools and who later passed one year as a student in the Grand Island Baptist College, was a member of the Students Army Training Corps at the Nebraska State Normal School in Kearney at the time when the war closed.
William Lewis, who likewise was graduated in the Mason City high school, remains at the parental home.

Rest and recharge at Parohe, Kawau Island's new luxury wellness retreat
By Kathryn Chung	| December 13, 2021
If the pace and unpredictability of life is taking its toll, a wellness experience on the remote Kawau Island might be just the tonic.
If this past year has left you in need of a little escape, a new retreat in the Hauraki Gulf might be the place for you. Located on the remote Kawau Island and surrounded by native bush, Parohe Island Retreat is a wellness destination that invites you to slow down and hit 'reset'.
Previously a family holiday home, the property has been redeveloped as an island oasis, with Scandinavian-style cabins, cabanas, a three-bedroom villa, and a charming Honeymoon Cottage. Those looking to embrace the relaxation aspect can make the most of the retreat's sauna, massage room and outdoor hot tubs.
A wooden platform nestled in the forest is the perfect spot for some yoga, the sounds of native birds a blissful backdrop to your vinyasa flow. Or discover some grounding meditation and intention setting in the Enchantment Pavilion.
For those wanting a dose of adventure, there are paddleboards, kayaks and bush tracks, while boat trips to a nearby island can be arranged. When the sun sets, head to the shore where you might see bioluminescent phytoplankton set the water aglow, a common phenomenon on the island, according to Parohe Island Retreat General Manager Rawinia Buchanan.
"There are about 70 permanent residents that live here. It's only an hour from the city, but you really get the sense of stepping away when you go to the island. The ocean is this beautiful, emerald green and you're right in the middle of the bush and can hear birdsong. It truly is a disconnect from what you would experience in your everyday life."
The concept behind Parohe is to offer a balanced and flexible approach to wellness. The all-inclusive retreat packages vary from the more physical and adventurous, to food focused, to yoga and mindfulness. "I've been on retreats in the past where you leave and can't quite integrate the learnings into your life," says Buchanan.
"Rather than just being an escape where somebody steps away from the everyday life, makes some powerful changes and then reverts back to the way they were living before, we've tried to create a cohesive process where we tailor a programme to target areas of their life they want to change, and then after, we can stay in contact with them. We have practitioners in central Auckland who can continue to follow up with their care."
Pieces of Kawau Island's history are found throughout the retreat. Repurposed windows from buildings on the island make up the greenhouse, part of the resort's sustainability efforts. "To look at things at a glance, it might look slightly mismatched, but when you dive into the reasoning behind it, why things are the way that they are, it is actually quite enchanting," explains Buchanan.
The rustic Honeymoon Cottage is another charming nod to the past. Built around the 1860s, it is said to have housed the lover of Sir George Grey, one of New Zealand's first governors, who also built the famous Mansion House on the island. Parohe also embraces a digital detox approach, with guests invited to refrain from using devices in some parts of the retreat.
Buchanan hopes it will give visitors a chance to disconnect from the busyness of life, creating space to reconnect with themselves. "Life ends up getting a little too busy sometimes and I think people lose track of themselves. By taking technology out of the equation and encouraging people to be present with themselves, their food, and the environment around them … you allow yourself to have some time to breathe."
Of course, this is all underpinned by Parohe's considered take on wellness, encouraging guests to participate as much or as little as they want. "A benefit of being a small boutique property is that we can create these bespoke experiences for guests depending on their reasoning for being there," says Buchanan. "It's such a beautiful place, we want to allow people to experience this little slice of paradise, but geared towards healing rejuvenation as well. COVID has really taught us that life can be stressful. We all need to take some time out for ourselves."

If you're tired of lugging around a George Costanza-like wallet or find yourself searching the depths of your handbag for the right card, there is a new all-in-one payment card designed to help you end clutter.
It's called Swyp and here's how it works. Users can enter the account information from any cards with a magnetic stripe (debit, credit, gift, rewards). Swyp securely stores that card info on a chip, eliminating the need to carry any other cards. When the time comes for payment, cardholders can simply cycle through the card they need at the push of a button and hand it to the vendor.


Sending you into the weekend with one of those meal starter ideas that I keep mentioning this month. This easy vegan sausage mushroom marinara pasta isn't a recipe (and I'm not sure that this share even constitutes a proper blog post!), but it's one of the re-heatable dinners I've made most often for sustenance and comfort food during my DI. On the chance that one of you might come to enjoy it as much as I do, it's worth writing down the process.
This meal definitely gets filed in the "semi-homemade" category. Within that, you're encouraged to use any of the store-bought staples you like: your favorite marinara, your favorite vegan sausage (or you could use crumbled and sautéed tempeh, or cooked lentils), your pasta of choice (I used regular; go ahead and use gluten-free, bean pasta, whole grain—whatever suits you), and your favorite pasta topper. For me, that's this walnut herb parm.
By the time the dish comes together, it's filling, rich in plant-protein, packed with vegetables for nutritional heft, and—I think—pretty tasty for all of its simplicity. Here's how I make it.
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions.
While the pasta boils, heat the oil or broth in a large, roomy, deep skillet. Add the mushrooms and sausage slices. Cook, stirring often, for 7-10 minutes, or until the mushrooms have released their juices and are completely tender. Add the broccoli (if fresh) to the skillet, cover, and allow it to steam cook for 3-4 minutes, or until crisp-tender. If using defrosted, add the broccoli to the skillet and heat through.
Add the marinara sauce and pasta to the skillet. Mix everything and heat through. Divide into 4-5 portions and top with vegan parmesan of choice.
This may well be a lot less inspiring than many of you need, in which case don't worry: I have another easy recipe planned for next week, but it's a little more original than this one!
As I said, for those of you who might love this combination but not necessarily think to throw it together, I hope it's a winning weeknight supper. Thanks for letting me share a low-key favorite with you.
And I'll be back soon, for weekend reading.
My first boss used to joke that I'd probably be happy on a diet of mostly baby food. He said this because of my obvious love of mushy-textured foods, which I snacked on constantly at work: refried black bean dip, nut pate, and hummus. Especially hummus.
My love of mush hasn't budged as the years go by. If anything, it's gotten deeper. I love not just mushy dips, but also mushy porridge, soft/mushy grain dishes, smashed beans, and mushy soups and stews. This is especially true when it comes to puréed soups: the thicker the better, which means the texture sometimes walks a pretty fine line between soup and mush.
The soup begins with two whole heads of roasted garlic. It sounds like a ton, but the reason I've called for it is because the first time I made the soup, I only used one head of garlic. I liked the flavor, but I thought it could easily do with double the roasted garlic. Roasted garlic has none of the kick of the raw stuff, and in fact it gives this soup a mellow sweetness. If you're very sensitive to garlic, of course, feel free to reduce the amount, but if your garlic heads are medium or small, I suspect you'll find that two of them is just right.
Otherwise, the soup is super simple. Roasting the garlic is actually the most time-consuming step. Once that's taken care of, you just sauté some chickpeas and onion, add broth and salt, and blend it all up. Here's how it comes together.
Preheat your oven to 400F. Lightly drizzle the garlic heads with olive oil. Wrap each head in foil and roast for 45 minutes, or until the cloves are becoming caramelized and the garlic is very fragrant.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, or until the onion is tender and clear. Add the chickpeas, broth (or broth + water), salt, and pepper.
Transfer the chickpeas and broth to a powerful blender. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from both heads into the blender, too. Blend on high till the mixture is very smooth, taking precaution with spattering (the soup will be very hot). You can do this in batches if your blender is on the small side. You can also use an immersion blender.
Transfer the pureed soup back to the pot and bring to a simmer. Add the greens and cook for another 7-10 minutes, or until the greens are very tender. Stir in the lemon juice. Taste, season as desired, and serve!
If you like, you can roast the garlic 1-3 days ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you're ready to blend.
When I first made the soup, it was in the middle of a week of seasonal peaks and valleys temperature, sunny days and drizzle. I enjoyed it for many lunches with a hunk of homemade sourdough and a little salad. It felt like the perfect transition meal between winter and spring: still hearty enough to be warming and grounding, thanks to the chickpea base, but the puréed texture, spring greens, and burst of lemon made it feel fresh, too.
I could imagine making it again very soon, as New York continues to ride the customary April weather. And although I love the chickpeas here, I'm also eager to try it with some white beans.
Wishing you an easy transition between seasons this week, and I'll see you back here for the usual roundup on Sunday.
I'd originally thought of this as being a St. Patrick's Day dish, thanks to the cabbage, but since that day has come and gone I'm just going to file it as another simple, flavorful, internship-inspired dinner idea.
I realized as I was making this caramelized cabbage & onion pasta that I make much more pasta in the summer than in the winter. I guess that's not surprising—pasta lends itself so beautifully to burst fresh tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, and other summer produce. This dish encouraged me to combine pasta with two vegetables that I don't usually associate with it—onion and cabbage—and I was surprised by how much I loved the results.
The meal is incredibly easy to make. Simply caramelize some onions and cabbage (I started by cooking the onions for five minutes, then added the cabbage and allowed the whole thing to simmer for another ten minutes) and add some vegan bacon if you like. Olive oil is fine for caramelizing, but using a little bit of vegan butter definitely takes the meal to the next level.
While you do that, you cook the pasta, and at the end, you mix it all together. If you like, you can even prepare the onions and cabbage ahead of time, and simply boil the pasta and mix it up when you're ready to eat! I've made this dish twice now, and that's how I batch cooked it the second time I tried it.
The pasta is on the smoky/earthy side, so a little bit of fresh parsley and a tiny splash of vinegar are really nice to help brighten it up. The parsley adds color, too. If parsley isn't your favorite, chives would be excellent, too. And, as I disclaim so often these days, you could easily add another chopped vegetable of choice (like leafy greens) to the mix.
This simple pasta dish is full of smoky, earthy flavors thanks to paprika, cabbage, onion, and an (optional) few slices of vegan bacon. A perfect winter dish!
Heat the oil or butter in a large, roomy skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion. Cook, stirring every now and then, for 5-7 minutes, or until the onions are gently browning. Add the cabbage, 1 cup vegetable broth, and vegan bacon if using. Continue cooking the vegetables for 10 minutes, stirring often, or until the onions have darkened and the cabbage is very tender. If the vegetables get at all dry, add a few extra splashes of broth.
While the onions and cabbage caramelize, cook the pasta according to package instructions.
When the pasta and vegetables are both ready, drain the pasta and add it to the skillet. Once again, if the mixture gets a little dry, add an extra splash of broth. Warm all ingredients through. Taste, and then add salt, pepper, and/or vinegar to your taste. Serve the pasta right away with chopped parsley on top.
I began an oncology rotation on Monday, and I've already learned so much—clinical knowledge and life lessons both. More on that soon, but for now, rest. Have a wonderful evening, friends.
I'm debating whether I should keep including "simple" in my recipe titles, since simple food is the name of the game lately, and really since my internship year started. But I guess it never hurts to call it out.
Anyway: this bulgur chickpea dish is indeed very simple, as the name implies. There's some cooking time involved (though it's worth saying that it can be shortened if you tweak the recipe ingredients a little), but the dish involves almost no active work. It's as easy as mixing ingredients up and slow cooking, but in this case the oven does the work for you.
Beyond that, the recipe is full of nutrition—fiber, protein from the combination of bulgur and beans, adjustable on sodium and naturally low in fat—and incredibly easy to customize. I've been using a combination of chickpeas, sweet potatoes, canned tomatoes, and the un-seasonal addition of zucchini. Broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, and cabbage would all be great additions or substitutions.
Speaking of that: I've tried the recipe with butternut squash in place of sweet potato and without either. The cooking time can be reduced to 25 minutes without the sweet potato or winter squash; with one or the other, it needs a full 45 minutes in order for those vegetables to be cooked through. So if you'd like to make this in a pinch, you could try another, faster-cooking veggie instead.
I kept the seasonings simple, but as I've been saying often these days, customize with what you have. Plenty of spices would be lovely in the recipe, including crushed red pepper flakes, which I didn't add only because I tend to be conservative with spice. I don't recommend skimping on the everyday lemon tahini dressing that's linked in the recipe below; it gives the dish a touch of acid and creaminess that really enhances the experience of eating it! But if that dressing isn't your thing, yum sauce or delightfully green tahini dressing would be great, too.
Here is the nourishing, hands-off, and simple indeed recipe.
This dish of simple baked bulgur & chickpeas is rich in fiber, protein, an array of phytonutrients, and it's easy to prepare. Served with a bright, creamy tahini dressing!
Preheat your oven to 375F. Mix all ingredients together in a Dutch oven, a cast iron baking dish with a lid, or any other casserole dish with a lid. Cover and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for another 10 minutes.
While the bulgur bakes (or ahead of time) make the everyday lemon tahini dressing. To serve, drizzle the bulgur generously with the dressing and enjoy!
To shorten cooking time to 25 minutes covered and 5 uncovered, omit the sweet potato or replace it with a faster cooking vegetable (like cauliflower or green beans).
This recipe is a truly perfect option for meal prep/batch cooking, since it can simmer away in the oven while you do or prep anything else you need. And it makes generous portions: enough for four hearty dinner components (I've been serving it simply, with steamed greens and lots of the dressing) or six portions if you're using it as a side dish with something else that's substantial. No matter how you serve it, I hope it saves you time and gives you pleasure.
This week has been busy so far, with a nutrition workshop/conference yesterday and my final week at my current internship site. I've used my evenings to get grounded as best I can and my mornings to reflect on things during my commute. It's all a work in progress…but it's progressing. Happy Wednesday, friends!


Right now, millions of unemployed Americans are desperately searching for new opportunities, only to have their applications ignored and calls unanswered. Doors are constantly closed in their face. For many, the American Dream is fading; people, for the first time, feel that future generations will be worse off than they are.
That's why, in this unique moment, the green economy is a ray of hope; it's providing new jobs at a time when the rest of the economy is struggling.

'5 hours I'll never forget': I traveled to Uganda to see the impact of sponsoring a child
ChildFund sponsor Ariana Dunne recently returned from an inspirational trip to Uganda. In her own words, Ariana describes just what it meant to meet her sponsor child Shaban and his family for the first time
Dublin, September 25th, 2018: Ariana Dunne/Shemazing
Ten years ago a green and white envelope arrived through my letterbox.
Aged 26 I was happy and grateful for what I had and was looking for ways I could give back and help others in need so I signed up to ChildFund Ireland requesting to sponsor a child. When I opened the envelope and a picture of a dark skinned, brown eyed, dimple cheeked three year old boy fell into my lap, a big smile spread across my face.
'We are delighted to introduce you to Shaban, your sponsored child' the accompanying letter warmly informed me. Shaban was from Uganda, a country I had tenuous ties with as my brother's best friend was from there, but other than that I was unfamiliar with the small African country dubbed the Pearl of Africa.
The information pack informed me that Shaban was from one of the poorest areas in the country, and for just €22.00 per month my sponsorship would help to fund his vaccinations, healthcare, and education. My sponsorship would benefit his whole family, and indeed the whole community in some ways.
For the price of four cups of coffee a month, a boy's life was being made better. Though thousands of miles away I already felt a connection to this little boy and felt thankful that I was fortunate enough to be able to help him.
A few months after receiving my intro pack another letter arrived through the door, it was the first of what would be many letters I received from Shaban. His early letters were update reports, no doubt written by a community member updating me on his progress accompanied by little childish drawings of colourful balls and scribbles.

As time went on these letters were written by Shaban himself, his English and handwriting improving with every year that passed. I learned he loved football, his favourite colour was red, he helped his mother fetch water after school and he loved his brothers and sisters.
Occasionally I would write back but not as often as he did. Perhaps the cynic in me thought he wouldn't receive the letters. Perhaps I felt embarrassed about my seemingly privileged westernised life. Perhaps I was just lazy. I should have written more.
Over the years I moved job, moved house, moved country several times but I always maintained my sponsorship of Shaban. I made sure to update ChildFund of my change of address so I would continue to receive his letters, each one allowing me to get a glimpse into the happy young man he was becoming.

When my brother's best friend invited me to his wedding I was thrilled to find out it was in Uganda. I immediately contacted ChildFund to see if I could arrange a sponsor visit.
The Dublin office were as excited as I was, and couldn't have been more helpful scheduling my meeting with Shaban and his family. Of course, ChildFund go to great lengths to protect the children, meaning I underwent Garda vetting and various forms needed to be filled out, but it was an otherwise seamless process.
Many of my friends and family donated clothes, toys and money so that I could bring three large suitcases filled with presents for Shaban, his family and the wider community. I even brought him a book about Ireland, along with a red Liverpool jersey with his name emblazoned on the back.

On August 15th this year, my brother and I were driven the five hours from Kampala by the lovely ChildFund Uganda staff members. When we arrived all the women from the community, dressed in their finest colourful dresses, greeted us with chants and hollers, singing to us as we emerged from the car.
Shaban was there to greet me, a dark skinned, dark eyed, dimple cheeked 13 year old, who gave me the warmest hug and the biggest smile. His mother, father, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters all greeted me with love and hugs and immense warmth and gratitude that I had come to visit them.
Shaban was my 'sponsored' child but there was no denying they made me feel part of the family. We spent five short hours in one another's company but it is five hours I will never forget. My brother and I were shown around the community, introduced to each member of Shaban's family, had songs and dances performed for us, a humble but delicious meal was prepared and we exchanged gifts after having greeted the excitable and giggling school children all vying to catch a glimpse of the pale skinned westerners.
We took pictures, including ones with a Fuji Instax that developed like magic before their eyes meaning they had instant keepsakes of our visit. Though poor, and there was no denying the poverty, the community were rich in smiles and laughter.
The cynic in me was abated. There was no denying that my sponsorship was benefiting Shaban and his family. There was no doubt that my connection with him was real.
Through ChildFund I have the option of sponsoring him until he is 24 and has completed his education, an option I will most likely take. He could become a doctor, a lawyer, a local farmer, a famous footballer, or he may fall in love, start a family and live a happy and contented life like his father before him in the community where he was born.
I'm grateful that for the sacrifice of four cups of coffee, or two overpriced gin and tonics, I was able to meet a wonderful little boy and his happy family thousands of miles away from Dublin and feel like I had made a small difference in the world.
Ariana Dunne.
ChildFund Ireland would like to sincerely thank Ariana for sharing her wonderful experience and exemplifying the profound and meaningful relationship our sponsors have with the children they support.

One of the benefits of going to the theater is that you will be among the first to witness the creative genius behind the movie. There is always that good feeling of knowing you saw it before other people did. Furthermore, when the critics are giving their reviews, you will be immune to the spoilers as you will already know what happened. You will also be able to effectively participate in the conversations that come up about the movie. Unlike waiting for the blue ray or DVD release, your curiosity will be satisfied in advance.
Unless you have a movie room in the house, in which case good for you, nothing beats the big screen at the movie theatre. Everything just feels so magnified and beautiful. It catches your attention and holds it. No matter where you sit, you will still be able to get a good view of the movie. The big screen just takes movie watching to a whole new level. You feel like you are getting some sort of special treatment. Everyone would love such a treat at least once in their lifetime and also check the putlockers new site.
At the theatre, snacks are professionally made and are in variety. Furthermore, they are ready made. This beats having to make the snacks by yourself at home. They taste way better at the theatre. You don't have to get your hands dirty. Instead, you can just go, pay for already prepared delicious treats then sit and watch your movie. The options of snacks are also always available at the theatre, unlike at home where your supplies might run out. If you are a foodie, snacks should be a motivating factor for you to visit the theatre.
Since the movie is being projected on the big screen to a room full of people, the special effects are definitely depicted better than at home. The sound is usually loud enough to make everything sound realistic but not enough to harm you. Furthermore, you are able to see the picture quality better. Everything looks better and feels real thanks to it being captured during filming by that camera picture car. There is also the 3D option which is only available at the theatres. It makes you feel like you are part of the movie.
Going to the movie theatre can be a social event. If you have been planning to hang out with your friends, going for a movie together might be a great option. You can enjoy it together as a group.
