It's great to always visit and explore lovely places within and outside your environment for relaxation purposes with your loved ones. Who doesn't like outings, dates and visit to mind-blowing and beautiful places? For me it's essential and in doing so, I love to do it in the most, easy, effortless, chic, romantic and comfortable outfits I could lay my hands on.
Hi Lovelies, happy new year as this happens to be my first post on the post in 2019. My prayer for us all is that 2019 treats us well and brings good tiding.
Talk about making LEMONADE out of LEMON……I want to bring this closer as I hardly even see lemons in Lagos (lol). What I have done is to make a sumptuous Ofe Onugbu(Bitter Leaf Soup) with Bitter Leaf people handed over to me. Its a few hours to 2019, so maybe more reason I want to drop this post here.
Lately I have added a good number of Kimonos (made with Ankara and other English materials) to my closet and the reason is simple; Kimono has become a wardrobe staple for me. It is that one piece any and every fashion savvy lady must have in her wardrobe.
Hi Lovelies! Trust Y'all are doing great.
The month of November is almost gone and you know how it is; I would never feel fulfilled this month if I don't drop a post here.

Hill, Robinson to represent Penn State in Super Bowl XLVIII
Frank Bodani
YorkDailyRecord
Once again, Penn State will be well represented in the Super Bowl on Feb. 2.
Former Nittany Lions Michael Robinson and Jordan Hill helped Seattle win its first NF Championship in eight years over injured NaVorro Bowman and the San Francisco 49ers.
Robinson and Hill now receive a trip to Super Bowl XLVIII against the Denver Broncos in MetLife Stadium.
For the 43rd time in the Super Bowl's 48-game history, at least one Penn State alumnus will be a member of one of the teams (17 times in last 19 years). Thirty-five former Nittany Lions have earned a total of 51 Super Bowl rings, most recently Kareem McKenzie and Jimmy Kennedy with the Super Bowl XLVI champion New York Giants. Tight end Andrew Quarless earned a Super Bowl ring with the Green Bay Packers as a rookie in Super Bowl XLV.
In his eighth NFL season, Robinson will be advancing to the Super Bowl for the first time. The fullback is in his fourth season with Seattle after four years with San Francisco. During the 2013 regular season, Robinson started three games and made two catches for 27 yards. He has 32 career receptions and three touchdown catches with Seattle. Robinson was selected by the 49ers in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft.
Robinson was the 2005 Chicago Tribune Silver Football recipient as Big Ten MVP and a first-team all-conference selection after posting one of the greatest seasons by a Penn State quarterback. A co-captain, Robinson led the Nittany Lions to an 11-1 on-field record and the Big Ten and FedEx Orange Bowl titles. From Richmond, Va. and Varina High School, he finished fifth in balloting for the 2005 Heisman Trophy.
A defensive tackle, Hill played in four regular season games during his rookie season in Seattle. He recorded seven tackles (four solo), including 1.5 sacks. Hill made a season-high three stops, with 0.5 sack, in the Seahawks' 20-13 win over Tennessee and he recorded a sack in the 23-0 win at the New York Giants. From Steelton, Pa., Hill was selected in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft.
A 2012 second-team All-American and team co-captain, Hill started 24 games in 2011 and 2012. The former Steel High standout was selected first-team All-Big Ten in 2012 and was a two-time Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week honoree during his senior season. In his final game as a Nittany Lion, Hill made a career-high 12 tackles, with two sacks and 3.0 tackles for loss in the Nittany Lions' 24-21 overtime win over Wisconsin on Senior Day.
Two former Nittany Lions – offensive lineman Mike Farrell and wide receiver Jordan Norwood -- were signed to future contracts with Denver on Dec. 31 and will officially join the Broncos' roster in March.

I wanted to thank you for the excellent product you sent me. I have just installed them to replace the old rusty running boards on my truck. These steps are nicely polished and the groves provide good traction. I do lots of construction work and they are durable to the core. Got way more stepping areas. What a super bargain!
The polished and sleek styling complemented the trim on my SUV very nicely. It is also very functional especially for kids getting in and out of the SUV. Best of all, I don't have to pay $700 from the dealership. Thank you for the great product and service.


Solar and wind power are seeing incredible uptake. But how can we store the electricity they produce and use it when it is needed most and at a much greater scale? Energy storage—batteries in particular—can help solve this problem.
Battery storage offers fast response, ease of deployment, and cost reductions. Yet battery technology is still expensive and not widely used in large-scale projects. The gap is particularly acute in developing countries, where clean energy demand is growing and large populations often live without reliable, affordable electricity.
"Accelerating Battery Storage for Development" is a new, first-of-its-kind, US$1 billion World Bank Group program to accelerate the deployment of battery storage for energy in developing and middle-income countries. The program is expected to help countries ramp up their use of renewable energy, increase grid stability, and leapfrog to a new era of energy technology.
For several years, the Bank has been working with countries to support the deployment of batteries with solar and wind power, with projects underway in Africa, South Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific. The new program will finance and de-risk investments such as solar parks with battery storage, off-grid systems, and stand-alone batteries. The program will also support large-scale demonstration projects for new storage technologies.
"Accelerating Battery Storage for Development" also aims to fundraise US$1 billion in concessional climate funds, through channels such as the Climate Investment Funds' Clean Technology Fund, and mobilize at least another US$3 billion from the public and private sectors. The goal is to finance 17.5 gigawatt hours of battery storage by 2025—more than triple what is currently installed in all developing countries.
The Open Learning Campus intends to capture and package all of the learning that will arise from this program, to increase understanding and applications of battery storage solutions. The Open Learning Campus already offers an extensive catalogue on energy topics, particularly on the renewable energy sources that are so crucial right now.
Just a few of the learning offerings available through the Open Learning Campus include: Investment Planning toward Low Emissions Development (course); Energy Sector Strategies to Support Green Growth (course); A Renewable Energy Tipping Point? (podcast); Africa Electricity Grids Explorer (data visualization); and How Vietnam is Meeting Energy Demands Sustainably (video).
Through these current—and future—dynamic learning opportunities, diverse audiences will be better equipped to help countries embrace clean energy, usher in new technologies, and become warriors in the global fight against climate change.


The body turns into a canvas for astonishing bits of art in differing sizes and styles. Nowadays tattoos have turned out to be more standard. Picking a tattoo outline for yourself can be a hard assignment. The outline ought to discuss your style, identity or your fantasies and well, it will be a piece of you for a long, long time. Sketch tattoos have that one of a kind sketched appearance that is regularly connected with an artist's preparatory drawings. You know, those drawings with the trailing lines that continue going when just a part of them was really required.
Indeed, it turns out they make for some interesting tattoo designs when executed legitimately. Sketch tattoos are tattoo designs that resemble a harsh portray or drawing. They're an extraordinary representation of exactly how splendidly defective everything is. Furthermore, also, that they look truly wonderful as well! Sketch style tattoos are not as mainstream as say, watercolor designs but rather they're rapidly picking up footing in an industry with just a couple of strong styles of design.
While various specialists make sketch style tattoos from time to time maybe at the solicitation of a customer one and only artist has really grasped the style and kept running with it. Along these lines, whether you're after tattoos designs in the style of your most loved craftsman, or need to examine the most recent styles and patterns, look at these case of fabulous tattoo art design and find the creativities who are pushing the fine art ever further.


Bruce Berkowitz, founder of Fairholme Capital Management and Fairholme Fund, shares the secrets behind consistently beating the S&P.
Germany's central bank, the Bundesbank, today confirmed that much of its gold is held outside the country at "trading centers" where the bank conducts "its gold activities."
While contending that Keiser's assertion was "not correct," the Bundesbank's reply to Kirby acknowledged that at least some German gold reserves indeed are held outside the country, maintained that this is common practice among central banks, and implied that the Bundesbank is trading gold despite its long-held position that it is not selling the gold it has been entitled to sell under the European Central bank gold agreement.
The Bundesbank's reply to Kirby did not specify its "market-related reasons" for keeping gold at "major gold trading centers," nor the bank's "gold activities" there. But central banks often "lease" gold, lending it to bullion banks for sale into the market in exchange for a tiny interest payment, a currency-intervention mechanism used by central banks to suppress the gold price and support government currencies and bonds.
If Germany or the world had a financial press interested in reporting on the gold market seriously, the obvious follow-up question to the Bundesbank would be to ask it to specify its "gold activities" at those "major gold trading centers" and the purposes of those activities. Unfortunately few if any gold market reporters and commentators ever put questions directly to the largest holders of gold, central banks.
Perhaps some of the documents involving the U.S. gold reserve that the Federal Reserve Board is refusing to release to GATA involve the German gold reserve, the Bundesbank, and gold leasing.
The Bundesbank's reply to Kirby is appended.
Please note that the quote of Max Keiser in the video on "Youtube" is not correct and please note that it has not been authorized by the Deutsche Bundesbank.
The Deutsche Bundesbank keeps a large part of its gold holdings in its own vaults in Germany, while some of its gold is also stored with the central banks located at major gold trading centres. This has historical and market-related reasons, the gold having been transferred to the Bundesbank at these trading centres. Moreover, the Bundesbank needs to hold gold at the various trading centres in order to conduct its gold activities. It is common practice for central banks to keep part of their gold reserves abroad.
Besides the Deutsche Bundesbank, other central banks and official agencies place gold in the custody of foreign central banks. According to its own data, the Federal Reserve of New York holds gold stocks for almost 60 different central banks and official agencies.
The Deutsche Bundesbank can withdraw gold from its holdings with foreign central banks at any time. The Bundesbank's gold is stored in the form of individually identifiable bars. Gold stocks are subjected to regular audits. Relevant inventory controls are conducted on site.

How do we create consistency across EPR while recognizing that every state has unique needs?
Updated: December 2, 2022 December 2, 2022
by Resa Dimino, Garth Hickle, David Stitzhal
Colorado is one of the first four states to approve EPR for printed paper and packaging. | Rex Wholster/Shutterstock
The move by states to adopt and implement extended producer responsibility (EPR) for packaging and paper products will fundamentally reshape the landscape for municipal recycling in the U.S. Already, 15.2% of the U.S. population lives in states with laws that obligate producers to finance recycling programs at some level. The 2023 legislative session could increase that percentage substantially.
The four states (California, Colorado, Maine and Oregon) that have enacted EPR laws for paper and packaging have each taken different approaches. The path chosen by the next round of states will determine whether the recast recycling landscape emerges in a cohesive manner, or results in a heterogenous mix of varying requirements.
However, as we move into this next stage of EPR development in the U.S., stakeholders should remember that consistency across the landscape need not eclipse state-specific policymaking – every region has its own existing materials management structure, and this fact is key to local success moving forward.
Areas of consistency
Most stakeholders can agree that a disjointed outcome is not desirable, as illustrated by the challenges in development of EPR for electronics over the past 20 years. In the e-scrap realm, state laws were developed without consideration for the larger context and absent an intentional effort to promote consistency across state policy.
However, it is possible in the U.S. to achieve a level of consistency and alignment across states that supports effective and efficient program implementation and stronger environmental outcomes without sacrificing the elements needed to respond to the specific infrastructure, demographics, culture and programs of each state.
By achieving consistency on a few key factors, implementation will be more efficient, state administrative costs and challenges will be reduced, and producer compliance costs will be less. Furthermore, greater consistency will foster the collection of more consistent data from state to state, allowing for more effective comparisons and creating the foundation for a more robust national database.
Some of the most important elements to consider when striving for consistency include the following:
Key definitions: Have consistent definitions for what constitutes a producer (i.e., who is responsible), packaging and paper products (i.e., what is included in the program), reuse, recycling, composting and recyclability.
Minimize exemptions: Limit exemptions for packaging or product types to reduce free riders, ensure that all packaging pays its fair share and reduce confusion regarding how non-obligated packaging is managed and paid for in municipal recycling programs.
Ecomodulation factors: Whether EPR will influence the design of packaging will depend on whether fees are structured to reward design for the environment or design for recyclability. If states can consistently define and apply ecomodulation factors, this will send a stronger economic signal to producers and result in greater environmental benefit.
Producer plans: Make program planning requirements consistent to ensure that the programs address the same broad range of parameters.
Reporting: Require information to be reported consistently across states. This will foster the creation of a robust and comparable set of data.
Rate measurement and calculation: Ensure that states, producers and service providers are measuring data in the same way and are calculating reuse and recycling rates using the same methodology. This will facilitate more robust evaluation and future goal-setting.
Allowing for differences
At the same time, as programs strive for programmatic consistency, it is important to recognize that each state's unique circumstance (both operational and political) requires certain elements be tailored to the state-specific context.
These elements include:
Performance targets: Policymakers should consider whether a state has enough data to set performance targets, or whether additional study is needed. Setting performance targets must consider the programs, infrastructure and performance to date.
Recycling service delivery: Whether municipalities should deliver services and be reimbursed by the producers, whether producers should contract directly with service providers, or whether those two approaches should be combined in some way will depend on the programmatic and regulatory framework in the state.
Education and outreach delivery: Every program will require education and outreach, but how that is delivered may necessarily be different from one state to the next, considering factors like ethnicity, demographics and culture.
Governance: The role and structure of advisory committees and other stakeholder bodies can strengthen program design and implementation but should reflect state context.
Ancillary programs: Some states may choose to link EPR programs to pre-existing or new policies that govern other aspects of packaging and printed paper, such as reuse targets, organics management, and deposit return systems.
A more consistent approach to EPR program design across states will foster collaboration among states, producers and other obligated parties to share data and resources. This type of collaboration benefits all the stakeholders by streamlining implementation, improving data consistency and facilitating enforcement. This is not a new concept; it can be modeled on efforts like the Toxics in Packaging Clearinghouse or remote (internet) sales tax policy.
Thoughtful approach to achieving consistency
As we consider opportunities to drive alignment from state to state, it is important to recognize that striving for consistency does not mean state policy efforts should embrace less aggressive performance requirements or other provisions and policy approaches that would fall short of the substantive transformation of recycling necessary in the U.S.
Furthermore, consistency does not mean that we need to sacrifice what makes our programs, our communities and our states unique. Being thoughtful about consistency will allow us to maintain our individualism while building a more unified common system that recognizes recycling markets move beyond state borders, as do the supply chains of consumer-packaged goods.
Achieving greater consistency of state programs will require intentional action and collaboration, but it will ultimately pay dividends through a more economically efficient system that drives the environmental and financial equity gains intended by the EPR approach.

What To Do During A Product Recall
Article | 04.05.2018
Jonathan Judge, Derin Kiykioglu
You put countless dollars and hours into making the best possible product, and it becomes a hit. But something goes wrong, and consumers may be getting hurt. A recall becomes necessary.
As part of our series on managing product recalls, this article focuses on important steps companies can take during a product recall. The first step is to be prepared for a recall. We explained some strategies for how to get prepared in our first article on this topic.
Most publicly announced recalls tend to go through the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Although the CPSC can mandate recalls if a company does not take action on its own, many recalls are officially voluntary. If a company obtains information that a product fails to comply with safety standards or creates unreasonable risk of serious injury or death, the CPSC requires a company to immediately report — within 24 hours — that the product violates a safety standard, or could be unacceptably harmful to consumers. These reports are commonly described as "Section 15 reports," a reference to the relevant section of the Consumer Product Safety Act.
Brief reporting delays are sometimes allowed for further investigation, but that route is best pursued under the guidance of experienced regulatory counsel. Too often, "brief" delays in reporting end up not being brief enough for the CPSC, thus exposing the company to a substantial civil penalty, which tends to be a minimum of seven figures when imposed.
It is important to note that companies are required to report potential defects and safety hazards even if they do not believe the situation warrants a recall. The CPSC has made clear that it is the agency's job, not that of the company, to ultimately decide if a recall is warranted, and the CPSC cannot make that determination if it is not made aware of the situation. The majority of Section 15 reports do not actually result in recalls, meaning that it is often prudent to err on the side of reporting and explaining in the report why the company does not believe a recall is warranted under the circumstances.
Report to Authorities
Voluntary recalls can be "fast-tracked" if the company (1) agrees to conduct a recall up front; and (2) is prepared to implement a recall plan within 20 working days. Regardless, the CPSC will typically expect a so-called "full report" of the alleged defect or hazard, which should include:
Manufacturer information and product descriptions
Units involved and where they might be located
Product recovery/remedy plans
Any communications to retailers and consumers about the problem
A corrective action plan describing the company's proposed remedial action
In addition to 14 questions companies must always answer, CPSC staff often add questions of their own. If the CPSC approves the proposed recall remedy, or successfully negotiates a different one, the recall will typically be approved for fast track implementation. In exchange for this cooperation, the CPSC will not evaluate the product formally for the existence of a defect, a reward that may have some value in litigation or public relations down the road.
If the reporting company is not inclined to voluntarily recall the product, or if the CPSC and the company cannot agree on an appropriate remedy, the case will proceed through the normal investigation process, culminating in either a preliminary determination of defect by the agency or an eventual closure of the file.
Communicate Effectively
Maintaining consumer trust during a recall is key. The best approach is for companies to communicate effectively by being (1) transparent, (2) consistent and (3) responsive.
When paired with swift action to remedy the situation, companies with carefully crafted recall messages increase the chances of maintaining — and potentially even surpassing — prior levels of consumer satisfaction. For example, Fitbit Inc. recalled its Force device in 2014 after consumers reported skin irritation related to wearing the tracker, but the company rebounded by taking the Force off the market and marketing new devices later that year. It later became the first wearable fitness company to go public with a 2015 initial public offering.
Companies must first communicate to consumers that a recall is happening. Managing recall communications is not unlike other marketing campaigns. Companies can use existing communications platforms to publicly acknowledge the recall, apologize and reinforce their commitments to consumer safety. Social media postings or notices in marketing materials help get the word out — for example, using parent-to-parent blogs to bring attention to toy and other juvenile product recalls.
Other companies form partnerships with entities already in contact with the consumer base. For example, Maryland has implemented a Department of Motor Vehicles notification system to spread the word about automobile recalls.
Companies need to be transparent in their communications with consumers or media. Transparency involves quick and candid responses in the face of a recall. Johnson & Johnson's 1982 recall of cyanide-laced Tylenol is a business school case study, not only because it succeeded in removing the product from shelves and maintaining consumer trust, but because its CEO, James Burke, received the Presidential Medal of Freedom and was named one of history's greatest CEOs by Fortune magazine after serving as the figurehead for the recall.
Burke cited trust as the cornerstone of business. After seven Tylenol consumers died, he rebuilt that trust by proactively discussing the recall and the company's problem-solving strategy.
Be Responsive
Companies that acknowledge and act on consumer concerns show their responsiveness. As we wrote in our previous article, companies may want to designate a recall team with a chain of command similar to that of a marketing team, except that its end goal is retrieving a product as opposed to distributing it. It is better to do this before there is even a recall issue, but companies should put one in place for a recall even if they did not previously create one.
The recall team's first "marketing" strategy should be to evaluate the situation and determine the speed, scale and type of recall. Recalls can take several forms, and most often include a fix of some kind; less often, products are replaced or refunds are offered.
In a study conducted by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Manitoba analyzing toy recalls between 1988 and 2007, for example, researchers determined that manufacturing defects take less time to recall than design defects, because the source of the problem is easier to identify. Additionally, the study found that reactive recalls, those undertaken after a consumer's death or serious injury, are more likely than preventive recalls to lead consumers to seek exchanges.
In other scenarios, companies may want to delay a proposed recall to conduct further or parallel investigation. In 2016, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration allowed General Motors to delay its recall of air bags to give it time to prove that its product was as safe as marketed.
Like any effective marketing campaign, a recall campaign should continually look at how the process is going and check in with consumers to remain responsive. Are consumers aware of the recall? What do they — or other companies — recommend to fix the problem? What is the general sentiment toward the company in light of the recall?
Social media can help companies answer some of these questions. General Motors used social media to stay connected with dissatisfied consumers in the midst of its 2014 recall of 1.6 million cars. Ikea actively communicates with consumers through social media, and recently used it to share updates about its recall of collapsing Malm dressers. Companies that meet consumers where they are will be better poised to experience a more effective recall process.
The final installment in this series will consider what companies should do after product recalls.

Suggested by Shaker catvoncat: "I saw this one on Twitter recently and thought the responses were really interesting: Best ever use of a song in a television episode?"
I realize that this question is intended to mean the best use of an existing song, but honestly my answer to this question has to be Andy Dwyer's tribute song to Li'l Sebastian on Parks and Recreation — a song fully five thousand times greater than "Candle in the Wind," thus titled "Five Thousand Candles in the Wind."
That will never not make me laugh and cry.

What I'm trying to find out:

*

*Is it possible to make new seperate HTML or .js file that would do something like remote control with my tablet to server. Example - When I click a button taht same button is clicked on browser on RPI beacuse I have another seperate display on RPI that show same thing and I would use my tablet only as a getter of HTML (so I can show it on tablet) and input method for RPI. (simultaneously on both display but use tablet as input)

*Or update all existing HTML and .js on server side (harder way, if this thing is even posbile to do)
Thank you very much for further help!

I hope this is enough code so You can instruct me where to put more code to simulate click on evry other client while clicking button on one of the clients (alawys 2 clients)

A: If you created a websocket connection that ran through your server and pushed the updated state of the button to the connected clients this would certainly be possible. I can't give a detailed answer without seeing your code but you could start with the socket.io docs here and ask more questions as you get started.

Alternative Dispute Resolution can help parties resolve legal disputes without resort to the courts. It is quicker and less expensive, but sometimes a courtroom is the only place to bring the dispute to a conclusion. Joe has litigated more than 100 cases, both jury and non-jury, from the initial complaint to final judgment. He is equally at home in both state and federal courts. He understands that a trial lawyer must master the facts of the case as well as the law and then present them understandably, succinctly, and persuasively.
Here are examples of cases Joe has handled.
On August 25, 2016, Joe appeared in Cheshire Superior Court in Keene. The issue in the case is whether the plaintiffs, owners of lakeside homes in Stoddard, have the right to use a private road located on the property of Joe's clients, a group of homeowners. On September 6, the court (Judge Kissinger) denied the plaintiffs' request for injunction, ruling that they had not shown that they were likely to succeed on the merits of their various claims.
Joe represented the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority in a high-profile case in which an organization claimed that the MBTA's rejection of its ads dealing with the Israel-Palestinian conflict was unconstitutional. The federal district court and First Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Joe's client, and in January 2016, the Supreme Court declined to review the case.
He represented the three founding members of a financial services firm in an arbitration dealing with the sale of their partnership interests. The case involved complex accounting and contract interpretation issues. In April 2016 the case concluded with Joe's clients receiving full payment for their shares.
He represented a major league baseball player in a federal case in Florida and continues to represent him in a contract dispute in Massachusetts.
He represented family members in a successful challenge to a will and trust based on lack of capacity and undue influence.
He recently represented a major Boston law firm in connection with an internal dispute involving one of its partners.
He represented a nationally known personal trainer and television personality in trademark litigation.
He served as principal counsel in an intellectual property case involving patent, trademark, and copyright issues.
A large university engaged Joe to investigate problems in one of the school's academic departments. He conducted interviews of faculty members, met with senior administrative officials, and submitted a detailed report detailing his findings and conclusions. As a result, the university restructured the department.
He was lead counsel in the New Hampshire "Impeachment Case," serving as special counsel to the state legislature's judiciary committee. He conducted an investigation into the conduct of three members of the state supreme court and then served as prosecutor in the impeachment trial of the Chief Justice.
He represented a New Hampshire newspaper in a case involving the New Hampshire "Right to Know" law, prevailing in both the superior court and on appeal. The Supreme Court's decision adopted procedures that simplify public access to government documents in New Hampshire.
He represented the plaintiff in a breach of contract and deceptive practices case against a Boston law firm. The jury found in favor of Joe's client, and the verdict was affirmed on appeal. Joe's client recovered in excess of $2.4 million, including recovery of all attorneys' fees.
From 2003 to 2010, he served as lead counsel in a lawsuit against two Insurance Commissioners in Puerto Rico. The case included constitutional, defamation, civil rights, and claims under Puerto Rico law. Following a multi-week trial, the jury returned a multi-million dollar verdict in favor of Joe's clients on all counts. The First Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that verdict.
Joe represented the University of Puerto Rico in a political discrimination case brought by the Chancellor of its Mayaguez campus. At the conclusion of lengthy discovery, he persuaded the Puerto Rico federal court to dismiss the case.
He represented Puerto Rico Governor Pedro Rosselló in a case brought against him by the largest newspaper in San Juan. He was also one of Governor Rosselló's lawyers in litigation over ballots cast in the 2004 election.
He represented the Massachusetts State Democratic Party in its challenge to Mitt Romney's eligibility to run for Governor.
He has been retained several times as an expert witness, submitting expert reports and testifying in court.
Joe cross-examines Mitt Romney before the Massachusetts Ballot Law Commission.

Toward the back of the Jason Vass gallery, past nearly 40 other works on paper, canvas, fabric and resin by Los Angeles artist Nancy Evans, sits "Lion," a tabletop sculpture with enough dense energy to serve as an exclamation point to all the rest.
Made in 2008, roughly the midpoint of this survey's span, it's 21 inches tall, a scale that miniaturizes but in no way diminishes its subject. "Lion" is at once animal, vegetable and mineral, cast in bronze from a bird of paradise casing, driftwood and rock. With its finely ribbed limbs and pitted froth of a head, the figure has gravitas, a mesmerizing bearing empowered by all the textures and associations of its generative materials.
Evans is adept at marrying matter, metaphor and myth. This show, organized by curator and writer Michael Duncan, plays to her breadth, at the expense of consistent strength. The bronzes, many of them smaller than "Lion" and relic-like in their visualization of warriors and Hindu deities, give the show its largest share of heft and visceral appeal.
Resin sculptures with synthetic-hued skins are similarly cast from root bulbs, palm fronds and more, but they resonate less jarringly in the gut. Spray-painted works on paper seem thin, in spite of their symbolic references. Paintings on canvas of trees, while reductive in form and familiar in content, feel expansive, in part owing to Evans' intense palette of teal, ocher, violet and olive.


There is more popular sport in Senegal: Wrestling. Sportsmen, known as Voodoo Wrestlers, earn more than £200 in a year. They are believed to have power from rituals, talismans and magic potions. Swiss Photographer Christian Bobst, photographed the lives and stories of these wrestlers whose importance is increasing in Senegal.
Because of hot weather, wrestling starts in the evening and it doesn't stop until midnight.
Although it is believed to have their power from mystical sources, they also do training to become stronger.
One of the retired wrestler, Balla Gaye, has a famous school, where he trains wrestlers. Most of the wrestlers can't afford this school. Those who can't afford do their training in the Atlantic beaches.
The wrestler in this photo, Kherou Ngor, is washing himself with milk. This is believed to bring power to the wrestler.

Q: How do I save a screenshot when an MSpec/Selenium test fails? I'm using MSpec to drive some automated UI tests using Selenium WebDriver. Much like the examples I found online. I'm having problems getting it to take screenshot when the test fails.
I saw a comment on another issue where it works because they have a ResultSupplementer in the sample web specs. However, ResultSupplementer does not seem to exist in the latest version of Mspec (0.9.1).
Is there a different way to do this in the latest version of mspec?  Ultimately, I'm going to generate HTML reports as TeamCity artifacts and include the screenshot on any failing specs.

A: I've updated the samples for the latest version of MSpec (in short, you need to implement ISupplementSpecificationResults yourself).
I've also merged the solutions and converted the MVC project to Nancy. You'll find that there's a bit more infrastructure-related code that grew over the last couple of years and works around various things, like

*

*status codes 4xx and 5xx logged by IIS Express

*IIS and Chrome Driver ports bound by other processes

*page objects access the web driver with a high-level API

*I use Paket for dependency management because it's far more powerful than plain NuGet

All that said, you need to run msbuild.exe mspec-samples.sln and then All-Specs.cmd. I've also checked that a TeamCity build creates screenshots.

Night #6: Bloody Birthday (1981)
October 6, 2017 October 5, 2017 / hintonblogs
Directed By: Edward Hunt
"Does anybody know what the word 'murder' means?"
Well this is an odd duck. On the night of the eclipse three children are born and on the eve of their tenth birthdays they all go mad and start a killing spree. Sounds fair.
Usually I'm not that keen on killer kid movies. I like The Bad Seed (Even with the bizarre ending where the actress playing the titular bad seed receives a spanking from the actress playing her mother in a strange, break the fourth wall, denouement) and I like The Village Of The Damned but it doesn't stretch much more beyond that. I think it's because inevitably the kids are always going to be snobbish brats and they're never going to get their comeuppance. I understand that's weirdly moralistic of me, but I think it's more knowing that the filmmakers always find a way to have a cop-out ending instead of what they should do, which is impale the little buggers or something.
So, with that out of the way…
It's hard to know just where Bloody Birthday lies. It occasionally comes close to being disturbing but also a little campy at the same time as though it can't decide which one it wants to be. There's not exactly a tonal whiplash as there can be with some movies in the genre. Take The Last House On The Left for example, it's a genuinely stomach-churning and abrasive experience and yet we also have scenes of comically bumbling cops with their own theme music. There's nothing quite like that here, but there's an arch line reading or two that lets you know that some actors were in a joke others were unaware of.
I thought we were going to be in for a much stranger movie and for a time that seems true. After the opening where the eclipse somehow plays an important role, we cut ten years later as an amorous couple are getting frisky in a graveyard. Concerned with being seen, the couple go to finish their business in an open grave, which is just asking for it really. Sadly after that, the movie settles into a somewhat ordinary routine. We have our final girl and the boy she's babysitting and most of the movie is them avoiding numerous attempts on their life to such a comical degree that it brought to mind The Pink Panther.
After the success of Halloween, of course the studios were going to be clamouring for holiday-themed slasher movies and so throwing kids into the mix makes it stand out in the crowd a little more. It's well made too, with the early suburban scenes recalling Carpenter's classic although it doesn't have his eye for composition. And can I get a little nitpicky again? What happened to other kids born during an eclipse? Are they all out there killing as well? Did the filmmakers study how eclipses work? I would gather not.
All in all Bloody Birthday still succeeds in being a strange little oddity, particularly if you're a fan of the killer-kids genre. Even if you're not the movie has plenty of goofy moments to keep you entertained even with the eye-rolling set-up for a sequel that never came.

ARTICLES SCIENCE 4 WAYS PLASMA TECHNOLOGY WILL CHANGE THE WORLD
4 Ways Plasma Technology Will Change The World
Luke McKinney
We're made of star-stuff, and we made science to relight it. Great gleaming genius machines, built of bolts both metal and lightning to drive a phase change into the future. Plasma technology is to tomorrow as steampunk is to yesterday, in that both are fun, but the future one is better, more powerful, and much, much more useful. Plasmapunks wear goggles to study an incredibly bright future, not the comfortable brass-rimmed, rose-tinted lenses of those enjoying the past instead of progress. It's also the secret of the only 100 Percent Chemical-Free All-Natural Healthy Diet.
We've already seen some amazing plasma technologies -- little things like the future of free power, space engines, an x-ray source so powerful that it goes all they way up to Z, and the beginning of the Universe -- but the thing about the future is that there's always more of it. Here's some that we're building right now.
4 Plasma Blasting Hazardous Waste
scanrail/iStock/Getty Images
Humanity (eventually) learned that it can't just burn all its rubbish. Because burning is the worst thing you can do with hazardous biochemicals. You're energetically giving them a carton of cigarettes and airfare, helping them into the sky to spread their unpleasant poison around the world. But the problem isn't burning them -- it's not burning them hard or smart enough.
Pyrogenesis Canada Ltd
Advancing so fast we're burning past fire
Most waste materials are made of the same atoms as everything else; the only problem is their structure. Plasma gasification utterly destroys that structure. Even the most awful poisons are helpless when you rupture every one of their atomic bonds. Which is why plasma gasification is working on destroying chemical weapons. Forget smashing things into last week -- we're smashing them all the way back to early universe, throwing them through the periodic table to shatter them down to component elements, as physics finally wins that wrestling match against chemistry. By controlling how it cools, we can convert the waste into flammable syngas fuel and an inert slag which can be used as a building material.
via meta-synthesis.com
To replace the one we smashed, have a 3D periodic table
The only thing plasma gasification can't deal with is elementary waste, like nuclear material or heavy metals. Because if you make a plutonium plasma, it's still plutonium, but now it's a plasma, and that would make Doctor Doom hide under his big green cape like it's a safety blanket.
It's a particularly smart way to dispose of poisonous waste. It's also a particularly smart way to dispose of most other waste. It's just smart all over. It costs energy to run, but fusion plasmas will give us that, and we'll be getting useful output instead of filling chunks of our extremely finite planet with garbage. As well as diverting waste from landfills, it has potential for landfill mining, going back over our old rubbish and dealing with it properly this time. We could literally destroy our past mistakes with a plasma torch. That's the kind of gloriously empowering Utopian fantasy even video games never thought of, and video games think plasma can fix everything.

"Eat BFG, incipient back problems!"
Aircraft carriers are installing Plasma Arc Waste Destruction Systems to target enemies of the entire planet. It's accelerating us into the future so fast it's going to turn trash into jet fuel. Plasma gasification's only downside is that it costs money to build the plants in the first place. Understand that every time anyone talks about being unable to deal with their waste. We are absolutely able to deal with all that waste. They just don't want to pay for it.

3 Plasma Particle Accelerator Afterburner
doi:10.1038/nature13882
Particle accelerators are how we get the mysteries of the universe to play chicken and win, smashing them straight into each other over and over until they give up their secrets. Most modern accelerators are immense rings of superconducting electromagnets. They look like a dragon decided to hoard intelligence instead of gold, and are even more valuable.
Dwarves wouldn't raid that. They'd worship it.
They're huge because they're limited by little things like the electrical breakdown of space. Crank up an electrical field too high, and it decides to short-circuit across a vacuum as a lightning bolt rather than run through your machine. One option is applying judo against Zeus by using this strength as our own. Instead of limiting the magnets because lightning bolts can shatter matter, we replace the magnets with the exact same process.
View Stock/View Stock/Getty Images
Nice try. You work for us now.
Plasma accelerators punch a positive column into plasma by blasting every single electron out of the way. Since electrons are attracted to the positive particles left behind, they all immediately smash back into position. Think of a motorboat tearing through the water, leaving a wake, and the water flowing back into the furrow left by the boat. In the process, we create an electric field thousands of times higher than the breakdown limit. The flow of electrons smashing back into place is a continual wave of kilo-lightning bolts. And it's possible for particles to surf this wave of kilo-lighting bolts. This is what Thor would do if she was into extreme sports.
There are two ways to set up these "plasma wakefields." The first is to blast the material with a laser to drill the positive column of charged material. The particles to be accelerated are swept up in the wake of a front which moves at the speed of light in the material. The second is to shoot the material with a bunch of accelerated electrons. The Facility for Advanced Experimental Tests (FACET) recently achieved an afterburner milestone, with accelerations 500 times greater than those in conventional particle accelerators.
Conventional particle accelerators. That's a phrase we have now. That's how smart our species can be.
FACET's fantastic attempt to build the most scientific machine in existence.
The punching particles can even create their own plasma by ionizing a neutral target gas before blasting the positive channel though it. They're hitting something so hard it turns into a particle accelerator. Of course, hitting it with a blast of particles means you need a first particle accelerator, but the particles accelerated by the plasma wakefield can end up with a much higher energy than those you used. Which is why these systems are called "plasma afterburners." I repeat: We've fitted the smartest things we ever built with plasma afterburners.

2 Plasma Scalpels
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
The cold plasma scalpel lets you use lightsabers for surgery. They can easily cut flesh, because a sufficiently hot plasma can cut anything that's not another plasma. The heat can cauterize tissue so that the wound won't bleed, as bleeding out is more often fatal than the original injury (and the leading cause of death from otherwise survivable combat wounds). Plasma blades also cause less collateral damage to surrounding tissue than metal blades. It also turns out that plasma is the ultimate antiseptic, annihilating microbes, so if you survive the first cut, you should be fine. All the reasons lightsabers are actually terrible weapons make them wonderful surgical tools.
If Obi-Wan had used a regular blade, Vader wouldn't have been a problem.
Plasma scalpels work by blasting pressurized gas at thousands of meters per second and electrically ionizing it. They're blowtorches built out of science-lightning. This isn't a new experimental prototype -- plasma scalpels have already been in use for years. Another case of kickass technology quietly getting on with improving the world while people are busy whining about how skateboards don't work without wheels.
Dr Stefan Rupf, Saarland University
And the next "plaque is a load of humanoid figures running around your teeth" advert is going to be a science-fiction massacre.
Advances in cold plasma technology -- still hotter than all solid matter, just cooler than the other plasmas -- offer more applications to the human body. Applications beyond "chopping them in half, then acting all moral because you didn't use a gun." Plasma could bring painless dentistry, as varying intensities are used to atomize instead of drilling, or to flay instead of scraping. All the old motorized metal tools are the equivalent of using a car engine inside your mouth. Plasma torches mean applying the Enterprise core instead. Pretty soon the only effect of eating a faceful of plasma will be a dazzling white smile.

"Turn it down a little, Mr. Data"
You just have to watch out for the usual headline-grabbing bullshit about plasma scalpels killing cancer cells. Everything can kill cancer cells. Hammers can kill cancer cells. The trick is not killing everything around them, and the plasma scalpel's surgical benefits are perfectly suited to that. Plasma medicine will definitely help with certain cancer treatments. But only as a side effect of helping with everything else.

1 Antimatter Annihilation Plasma
alexovicsattila/iStock/Getty Images
Matter-antimatter plasma is the most volatile anything in existence. If only temporarily. Equal parts matter and antimatter, it exists only to annihilate itself in an incredibly energetic (and paradoxical) blast. A recent paper describes how "gamma-ray bursts should arise from synchrotron emission of relativistic shocks generated within an electron-positron beam." That sentence would make the Enterprise crew duck and cover, then fist-pump as the blast destroyed them. Those gamma-ray bursts are some of the most luminous events since existence began. It turns up in the most violent astrophysical events possible: pulsars, quasars, relativistic black hole jets, and anywhere else the universe can't just crash with an energy overflow error.
Still better than getting a blue screen.
Which is why we decided to make our own electron-positron beam for study. Because we're awesome.
As described in the same paper, the ASTRA-GEMINI petawatt twin laser system in the UK's Central Laser Facility was used to generate a relativistic electron-positron beam. Not only is it made of equal parts matter and antimatter, so that it will utterly destroy itself in a blast of radiation, but it's approaching the speed of light in the process. Live so fast you don't even leave a corpse -- just a beautiful explosion. Even in academic papers, this is referred to as a "fireball beam". It's the particle physicist's special move
Central Laser Facility, STFC
Charge backwards for two advanced physics degrees, then forward and PLASMA PUNCH!
The GEMINI laser was focused on a supersonic Helium jet to produce an electron beam by plasma acceleration (because awesome things enabling even more awesome things is the whole point of science), then this electron beam fired into a lead target to trigger a quantum electrodynamic cascade, producing the fireball beam. This is what Rube Goldberg would have built if he'd been the smartest person who ever lived. The quantum cascade actually emits a combined beam of electrons, positrons, and light, a fireball beam so spectacular it generates its own spotlight. That's how intense this science is: A solid layer of lead doesn't shield against the radiation, but creates it. This is a blast of radiation so smart it convinces lead to switch sides.
We've created a matter-neutral plasma, a sample of existence's energetic overload condition, just so that we can study it better. So we can understand it better. And the "it" in that sentence was the existence.
Hubble Ultra Deep Field, NASA
Because all the best relationships are based on understanding
This is the point of us. This is the meaning of life. We see the greatest lights in the sky and the deepest mysteries of the void, and we build both to work out why they happen. And how they can make things better. And then we share that knowledge. Our entire strength as a species comes from communication and learning.
Science is our candle in the dark. Now it shines like a quasar. Because the dark is the same stupid dark it's always been, but we're getting brighter every day.

Urban Sketchers of Odessa in a room of the Passage Hotel
In one of the rooms of the Odessa Passage Hotel, Gallery 202, the artists Svetlana Mikhalevich and Maryana Bryukhanova presents the Urban Sketchers Odessa project.
Urban Sketchers Odessa is a social project in the field of art, an official part of the international organisation Urban Sketсhers, which unites participants from more than 60 countries of the world.
Svetlana Mikhalevich
Odessa community of sketchers celebrated 5 years in August. Artists, illustrators, designers, architects and enthusiasts, who are not indifferent to drawing, come together to sketch the urban landscape, human life in the city and communicate with like-minded people.
Urban sketching is one of the most sincere genres that allows you to establish deep interaction with the dynamics of the city, immerse yourself in the study and documentation of the urban environment. We go to paint the city in groups, in pairs, and even individually, and we all meet together on sketch dryers.
It happened that Odessa sketchers made creative forays to other cities and countries, they were in Amsterdam, Berlin, Athens, Kyiv, Kamenets-Podolsk, Pyriatin, Kharkov, Zaporozhye, Ivano-Frankivsk, Dnieper. Local sketchers, made sketches in unexpected places, for example, at the Kharkov "Turboatom".
In Odessa it is interesting to draw the port, as well as disappearing monuments of architecture, for example, the former plant "Krayan": the sketch "Pink Dream". If there was such a building in Europe, an art center or a museum would be immediately opened in it.
In addition to the exhibition of sketches, the gallery has opened the traditional "New Year's Eve Salon", which has been held for the fourth year already. Every Friday, from 12:00 to 19:00, you can purchase originals of watercolors and sketches, copyright limited posters and copyright postcards of artists participating in the project.
Cards placed in small identical frames become an excellent interior decoration, they look no worse than original watercolors or pastels.
In addition to the above-mentioned authors, Alina Bezbabnaya, Yulia Babich, Ekaterina Bogdanova, Olga Varnali, Maria Aryatova, Olga Soldatova, Veronika Bulgakova, Sergey Enkov, Igor Letinsky, Tatyana Demchenkova, Yulia Shtefan, Irina Loktionova, Anastasia Vasilskaya, Maria Presnyak.

East Rutherford, NJ – New York Jets coach Rex Ryan will have all three of his quarterbacks at his disposal on Sunday, as Greg McElroy, Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow are all active for the team's home contest against the San Diego Chargers.
McElroy will make his first NFL start against the Chargers, while Sanchez and Tebow are both listed as the No. 2 quarterbacks.
McElroy subbed in for Sanchez a few weeks back against Arizona and guided New York to its only points in a 7-6 victory.
Sanchez returned the following week and led the Jets to a 17-10 triumph over Jacksonville to keep the team's slim playoff hopes alive, but the former first-round pick turned in a dreadful five turnover performance on Monday in a 14-10 loss to the Titans to end New York's bid for a postseason berth.
With the Jets looking toward next year, rumors have swirled about both Sanchez and Tebow being traded in the offseason.
Tebow, who is reportedly destined for Jacksonville at the end of the year, carried the ball three times for 15 yards in Monday's loss after sitting out the previous three weeks with a rib injury.

All architectural barriers in schools are eliminated in order that college students with disability have entry to classrooms, laboratories, libraries and toilets within the college. It may assist ease parents' fears and frustrations with the Public college system format. It's true – as dad and mom, we do have a much better really feel for our kids than teachers can have with the overcrowded situations in most faculty rooms.


Taking care of our overall health is important. There is no arguing that. However, what happens when our chase for a healthy lifestyle takes over and we create what is supposed to be healthy habits, but in reality become unhealthy?
You might know the feeling? That sinking pit in your stomach after having had a donut, cheeseburger or candy. You f***d up, ate something bad and it wasn't even Saturday. Then the well-known what-the-heck effect kicks in: I already had one, I might as well have one more and go back to being healthy tomorrow. Or you didn't make it to todays gym class, so you might just skip it all together and try again next week. Sound familiar?
These days it might seem that if you don't drink matcha latte, avoid gluten and sugar, eat only vegan food, drink freshly pressed celery juice every morning and embrace the joy of barre, Pilates or yoga, frequently apply face masks, take collagen or meditate at least 15 minutes every day, then you're not living your best, healthiest life. It is so damn confusing and stressful, which again is seriously more harmful than that goddamn cookie.
Media, and influencers very much substantiates the belief that there is only one way to go. And if you don't go that way, you might as well just give up and curl up in a bathtub of syrup (and no, not the healthy type like agave).
But guess what: there is no recipe on the healthiest way to live. Because health differs from person to person, and what might work for you does not necessarily work for me. I cannot emphasis this enough.
Have you ever asked yourself what living healthy means to YOU?
For me, it is without doubt the wonderful word "balance". Not all or nothing, but balance. Because a pain au chocolate for breakfast makes me ridiculously happy. That does not mean I should eat it for breakfast every day. Same goes for drinking a bottle (read: two) of wine with friends. Sometimes I will do just that, but not every day. The list can go on, but I guess you get my thinking?
Many say restriction is the only way to stay on track (whatever that means) but in my opinion the only thing it does is not only sabotages your quality of life, but also your self-esteem. Because you will f**k up at some point, and when you do you will have disappointed yourself. Imagine how you feel after several f**k-ups. Not good, I would say!
Why not incorporate everything in moderation and most importantly; listen to your body? Feel like drinking celery juice? Great, do so! Feel like going to that fifth barre class this week? You go girl! Wanna jump into comfy clothes and eat Nutella with a spoon? Why the hell not? Find a way to balance it all, and find what feels good. It's not only a sustainable way to live, but also a kinder way to treat yourself. Because terms as cheat meal and guilty pleasure don't really belong in our vocabulary.
Work on your mindset, because that's where the magic happens.

If you're more of a scones-and-champers than mince-pie-and-mulled-wine type, the idea of a "festive" afternoon tea may not strike you as all that appealing but, with its fairytale-inspired offerings, Conrad London St. James has thrown tradition – along with food and drinkstuffs beginning with the letter m – out the window in favour of an altogether more radical approach to the festive menu. Eschewing the aforementioned festive fare, head pastry chef Zoe Wager has created an elegant, exquisitely presented menu inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's tale of The Snow Queen, colluding with a bewitchingly presented blue-lit interior to cause those of us invited to preview the tea in advance of its launch to feel as though we might have stumbled into a fairytale palace ourselves. The soundtrack may nod to convention, but rest assured – pretty much any tune emanating from the nimble digits of a live harpist resounds with magic – if it's atmosphere you're after, Emmeline's Lounge has it in spades (and shot glasses… and on sticks).
The Snow Queen Afternoon Tea is available at Emmeline's Lounge, Conrad London St. James, 22-28 Broadway, London, SW1H 0BH, from 23rd November 2015 to 11th February 2016, priced at £39 per person, or £55 with free-flowing champagne. Book online, or call 020 3301 1400 to make a reservation. View the menu here.

One of the easiest ways to increase your reputation online in your niche as a Virtual Assistant is to keep your website up and running with fresh content for your target market. Problem is most VAs don't blog or send out informational newsletters because they dread writing or don't have the time to write. A way around this problem is to invest in PLR and have the writing done for you.
Private Label Rights (PLR) are those given to a buyer when they purchase ready-made content. This service does all of the research and writing for you. In turn, you get to put your name and stamp on it. Some people are leery of letting others create content for them, but remember – it is a business as well. They are building their reputation by providing you with quality content for a good price. Most PLR is very reasonable in price and typically you can get 10+ articles on various subjects for as little as $10.
Remember, you save money when you outsource jobs that you need done. If you are not a writer, then establishing and maintaining your online presence with content will become difficult. Spending all day writing is not going to help your business grow if other management tasks are neglected like doing billable work for your clients. Also, if you like to write but don't have the time, that too, presents a quandary. PLR provides a satisfactory answer to both.
Did you know that PLR can help you make money as well as save you some? The secret is out! Many VAs now use PLR to leverage their service or product offerings.
Content is still the most influential marketing strategy on the Web. Establishing yourself as an expert in your niche using PLR for consistent new blog posts or newsletter content will increase your reputation online and make you memorable. Memorable means potential clients will turn to you when they need to hire a VA. Plus it is well known that active websites with new content will help you rank higher in the search engines. The higher you are, the more chances you'll be seen by your target market to land that next new client.
People love visuals. Turn your PLR content into a script for an animated YouTube video that promotes your business products or services. You don't have to come up with what to say because it's right there. Just put your makeup on, aim the camera at you, smile and start reading the PLR content.
As an affiliate marketer, good content will help drive your sales up. Use PLR to promote those products without a costly time investment. Many PLR companies offer product reviews together with information on where to sign up to the affiliate program. Just put the PLR review on your site, promote it and wait for the affiliate sales to come in.
People love to learn. You can use your expertise to offer a web seminar to your target market. The PLR articles can help you create a PowerPoint presentation on a variety of topics relevant to a service based business. Some PLR companies even offer PowerPoint presentations complete with images and a script that you just add your logo to and present. Also, you could use PLR content to produce a workbook to accompany the class.
Use PLR article content to craft podcasts on a variety of subjects relevant to your business niche or specialty area. Visitors can download them to their devices for listening on the go.
Offer a free report or newsletter for signing up on your website. Those PLR articles you purchased can be combined for that purpose. Some PLR companies even offer completed informational ebooks on topics from social media to ways to utilize the services of a VA that you just have to add your final personal touches to and giveaway!
PLR has the potential to add value to your VA business, whether informational or not. You give your readers something they didn't have before – useful knowledge.

Although it is a pretty common household fare for us since it's hubby's favorite, I have no idea what Saluyot is called in English. According to Google it's called Nalta Jute! A fierce name for such a hard-punching, highly nutritious leafy greens!
I will leave it to you to Google about it's nutritional benefits but merely judging by it's appearance, it is fiber-rich, possibly high in iron and other minerals such as magnesium because it's deep green in color. It can be a little off-putting for its slight bitterness and slimy texture but it is nothing of major concern especially if you are someone who eats okra or water spinach.
Here's my very simple and easy way of preparing Jute which I learned from my Ilocano husband. One can use any medium sized white meat fish, fried or broiled for this recipe and also choose between patis or bagoong isda for seasoning, whichever you prefer.
Patis is fish sauce while bagoong isda is a watery fish paste. Both are fermented products very common in Southeast Asian cuisine. For many, Filipinos included, eating Patis and bagoong is an acquired taste🙊. Well for me, I fell in love with both as soon as I married my husband👫💕🏡…he just can't do without them!
Anyway, please check out below recipe and I hope you will find an alternative lunch or dinner fare in it❤..cheers!
Fry fish until golden. Set aside.
On a separate shallow pan, boil water, garlic and ginger.
Once boiling, add leaves and simmer covered for 2-3 minutes. You may add half a cup of hot water if you want it a little "soupy".
Add the fried fish and lightly toss. Remove from heat and keep covered for another minute or two.
The dish should be ready in no less than 10 minutes. Best eaten with boiled Jasmine or white rice. Enjoy!
