Suspects in Middletown and Holmdel burglaries, set free under NJ bail reform, were arrested for another crime and released again. Now they've fled.
If you have information on the whereabouts of Garry Doherty or Lisa Bostrom, you can call 1-800-671-4400.
It wasn't just a sense of peace and security that was shattered in Karen and Tom Hyland's home on the night of Jan. 21.
"I'm still finding little bits of glass all these months later," Karen Hyland told the Asbury Park Press. She was describing the sliding glass door broken by the intruders who burgled her home in the Leonardo section of Middletown.
You can see a clip from the Hylands' surveillance cam in the video above.
Two weeks after the break-in, police arrested a pair of suspects and charged them with a crime spree in northern Monmouth County that brought a rash of burglaries that extended back to Christmas Eve 2016.
The suspects, Garry Doherty, 61, and Lisa Bostrom, 55, both of Long Branch, were processed, given summonses and released from police custody, in accordance with new guidelines on New Jersey's bail system.
Before February was over, though, Doherty and Bostrom would be picked up again by police, this time for allegedly trying to sell some of the stolen property obtained during the burglaries.
Forty-eight hours later they were released from the Monmouth County Jail. Again, under the directive of bail reform.
Now, the pair are considered fugitives, having failed to appear at their arraignments in May.
Together the two represent a gap in this year's bail reforms, which were intended to eliminate the burden placed on defendants who could not afford even nominal cash bails.
Since reform was implemented, the Asbury Park Press found scores of defendants who have been released pending trial only to be booked again on new charges.
The Press found examples in Monmouth County, including one defendant who was apprehended four times — and released three times — within a month's time. At least two other defendants were released pending trial but later arrested for violent crimes.
The state acknowledged the bail overhaul — eliminating monetary bail and favoring release for most defendants accused of nonviolent crimes — has needed some tinkering since its debut.
That includes an update issued May 24 that the Office of the New Jersey Attorney General tells the Press could have made a difference in a case like Doherty and Bostrom's.
"It is inevitable that issues will arise that will need to be litigated or otherwise resolved as we move forward, but we are absolutely committed to this important reform," said Peter Aseltine, spokesman for the Attorney General's Office. "We believe that it will make the people of New Jersey safer."
The Press inquiry found there are at least 80 people who were held more than once in Monmouth County jail between mid-March and mid-May – that's about 5 percent of the nearly 1,500 people held in the jail on charges issued by a municipality during that time.
To study the impacts of bail reform, the Press compiled snapshots of the Monmouth County jail population, analyzing more than 1 million records obtained over the roughly two-month period. No data were available for Ocean County.
Jail data shows Jeffery Andryshak, 26, was first accused of burglary on March 20 in Keyport, then charged again with burglary and other crimes on March 23 in Union Beach, then for allegedly receiving stolen property on March 26 in Hazlet, and finally charged again with crimes including burglary and theft on April 6 in Keyport.
Michael Guarnieri, 33, was booked May 2 on charges including aggravated assault in Hazlet. He was booked again two days later, accused of charges including hindering his own prosecution.
Edward O'Neal, 30, was booked April 15 on charges including false imprisonment and "violent behavior" in Union Beach according to jail data. He was booked again 10 days later, accused of charges including robbery in Asbury Park.
Aaron Mcdonald, 31, was booked in the jail on March 29, accused of eluding by Interlaken police, jail data shows. Then he was booked again April 11 accused of criminal sexual contact in Neptune.
Authorities have charged Doherty and Bostrom with eight burglaries or attempted break-ins.
The two are accused of causing thousands of dollars of damage in order to gain entry in homes in Middletown and Holmdel. Their preferred mark was jewelry, according to charging documents.
They also face lesser charges for slashing all the tires on three vehicles at one of the homes they targeted.
After returning from a New Jersey Devils game on Feb. 3, Hank and Judy Ramsey found a back window at their Holmdel home had been busted open — after the prowler couldn't break through both panes of the glass backdoor.
The cost to replace the window and door was considerably more than what was stolen, Hank Ramsey said.
The burglars only took a purse, containing an inhaler, $100 in cash, sunglasses and a pair of gloves — a relatively light haul.
The retired couple believes Zinfandel, the Ramseys' very talkative parrot, scared them off with all of his (or her — they're not sure of the bird's gender) squawking.
"We didn't really sleep that night," Judy Ramsey said. "We were fearful that they might reappear."
Unlike the Ramseys' burglars, the Hylands' burglars made off with a haul of jewelry — $20,000 worth. In both cases, however, feelings of violation prevail.
"It creeps me out to think this guy was in my bedroom going through my stuff," she said.
Here's a rundown of how the criminal case against Bostrom and Doherty began — a useful example of how pre-trial incarceration is now determined in New Jersey.
Bostrom and Doherty were arrested on Feb. 6 and charged for the burglaries starting on Dec. 24 and continuing through Feb. 2.
The pair were processed by Middletown Police, which ran each suspect through a Public Safety Assessment, a computer-based risk calculation that considers the crime and the accused's criminal history to determine if the individual is likely to show up for court, break another law while released and/or hurt somebody.
The PSAs returned "relatively low scores for each defendant" and they were released.
Bostrom and Doherty were arrested again on Feb. 26 after police found them attempting to sell some of the stolen property online.
Again, the PSA suggested they should be released. This time, however, Middletown Police appealed to the prosecutor's office, which agreed with the cops.
The new guidelines on bail allow a skeptical prosecutor to overrule a PSA and hold a defendant pending an initial appearance in court, which must occur within 48 hours.
Before a suspect first appears in front of a judge, the court creates another PSA and a monitoring recommendation — should they be released, released with a requirement to report to the court every so often, or jailed pending the conclusion of their case.
The court in this instance recommended Bostrom be released and required to report every month. Doherty was also let go, but was instructed to check in twice a month.
On April 25, the defendants were indicted on 13 criminal charges.
They failed to show up for their arraignments on May 15 and warrants were issued for their arrest. They remain at large.
Less than 10 days later, the Office of the New Jersey Attorney General announced changes to the bail reform guidelines, including that prosecutors will default to detention for free defendants who are arrested for felonies while out awaiting trial.
The Attorney General's Office declined to comment on the case of Bostrom and Doherty, but said that modifications sent out on May 24 would make a difference in a similar case.
The changes to the bail system went into effect on January 1.
2,297 defendants were detained pre-trial, or 13.1 percent of all defendants.
37.4 percent were released, but monitored at "the highest level" — meaning electronic surveillance, house arrest or weekly visits with court staff.
36.4 percent were monitored at lower levels, something akin to what Doherty and Bostrom were assigned.
9.6 percent were released with no special monitoring.
"New Jersey's bail reform law was designed to protect the public by eliminating a monetary bail system that allowed dangerous criminals to pay their way out of jail, often with proceeds of their crimes, while many nonviolent offenders remained in jail because they were poor," Aseltine told the Press.
The system is working, from the point of view of the defendants.
"I think bail reform has been, I think from all sides and for the public, a really good thing and a far more intellectually honest system and a better way of measuring risk of people who are charged with crimes than the system that we had in the past," said Jennifer Sellitti, spokeswoman for the New Jersey Office of the Public Defender.
Sellitti acknowledged bail reform isn't flawless, but said the new system is an improvement over cash bail.
It's a harder sell to the victims of crime on the reform's benefits.
"I guess I understand," crime victim Judy Ramsey said of bail reform's intentions, "but after having this experience it's a completely different thing — and you want them to be punished."
Hank Ramsey cuts in to clarify that they are not looking for their assailants to be locked up for life.
"I just want them punished enough to know this is not a beneficial behavior," he said.

The Leafs officially released their Stadium Series jerseys. They're going to be wearing all white.
February 10, 2018	1:13 pm
Saturday morning, the Toronto Maple Leafs officially unveiled their Stadium Series jersey design and it's a beaut. The design pays tribute to the Royal Canadian Navy.
The Leafs will wear all white – white jerseys, white pants, white gloves, white socks, and white helmets – with trims of navy blue.
Take a closer look.
Photos: @MapleLeafs
This marks the first time the Leafs will wear white sweaters for an outdoor game. It also marks the first time in club history they will wear their traditional home white logo on a white road sweater.
"I was surprised," Morgan Rielly said to Sportsnet's Luke Fox. "The jersey itself looks great. I think it's a cool look. When you look at the white gloves and white pants, it's pretty unique and pretty cool. I'm looking forward to wearing them."
Tyler Bozak had one major concern with the design.
Tyler Bozak on Stadium Series uniforms: "Hopefully it's not snowing. We won't be able to see each other."
— Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) February 10, 2018
The "Ready, Aye, Ready" motto, which is featured on the Leafs neck line, is borrowed from the Royal Canadian Navy.
The Leafs motto of "Honour Pride Courage" will be printed on the sleeve in dark blue. It was inspired by Hockey Hall of Famer Conn Smythe.
From the Leafs:
Our motto was inspired by the words of WWI and WWII veteran Conn Smythe, who when asked why he chose the name Maple Leafs offered, "The Maple Leaf to us, was the badge of courage, the badge that meant home… It was a badge that meant more to us, than any other badge that we could think of… so we chose it… hoping that the possession of this badge would mean something to the team that wore it and when they skated out on the ice with this badge on their chest… they would wear it with honour and pride and courage, the way it had been worn by the soldiers of the first Great War in the Canadian Army."

A brow lift could be exactly what you need to tighten and tone your forehead. The procedure is designed to reverse the effects of gravity, and it can tighten the soft tissues located within your forehead while restoring your appearance.
This surgery is frequently used to improve the appearance of the eyebrows, upper eyelids and forehead. There are different types of brow lifts that we can perform, and the ideal procedure for you depends on your unique appearance and goals.
In a resting position, a youthful brow should sit above your orbital rim, and it should hold a gradual lateral arch. As your body ages, you'll notice that your brow is beginning to assume a flat position. As a result of the changing brow position, you won't look as young as you could look.
Should You Consider Getting a Brow Lift?
If you're thinking about getting a brow lift, you should know if you're a good candidate. The procedure can work well for low or sagging eyebrows. If you have a grumpy, sad or tired appearance, you could be a great candidate for this procedure. It can also work well for deep horizontal creases that travel across the forehead. A brow lift can even be effective for excess skin that hangs above the eyes.
This procedure can be used to reposition a sagging brow that hangs over your upper eyelid. It's also effective for raising eyebrows into a youthful, alert position.
After undergoing the procedure and finishing the recovery process, you can expect to look friendlier, happier and much more approachable. A brow lift that targets the forehead can help to restore a youthful appearance. It's capable of elevating droopy brows and smoothing the deep creases that form across the forehead. These lines can give off the appearance of being angry and make you look much older than you feel.
Once you've undergone a successful brow lift, you can expect a smoother, tighter forehead. The appearance of the forehead lines should be significantly reduced.
At this point, you might be wondering if this is the right procedure for you. Since the goal of the procedure is to tighten loose skin, you must decide if you fit into this description. If you have deep wrinkles in your forehead, a brow lift could be very beneficial for your appearance. It can smooth and tighten forehead wrinkles, and it's great for a variety of problems caused by aging and gravity.
Before the procedure, you'll need to discuss your age, ethnic background, skin type and other factors at the office of Dr. J. Anthony Stephens, MD in Baton Rouge. After the successful completion of a brow lift, your forehead will look tighter, smoother and younger. Contact us today to schedule your consultation with Dr. Stephens.

After Race 3, Salman , Jacqueline and Anil Kapoor will be seen in these films
June 29, 2018 IST
After tasting success at the domestic and worldwide box office, Race 3 actors Salman Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol are gearing up for their upcoming films.
Salman Khan will soon start shooting for Ali Abbas Zafar's Bharat. The film is the third collaboration of Salman and Ali after Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai.
Bharat also stars Priyanka Chopra, Disha Patani, Tabu and Sunil Grover.
Apart from Bharat, Salman will start working on his second collaboration with Race 3 director Remo D'Souza. The film will be a dance drama.
Salman will make his presence felt in the latter half of this year with his production venture and special appearances. The actor will be launching his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma with Loveratri. He will also make a special appearance in Shah Rukh Khan's Zero and Bobby Deol starrer Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se.
Matching up to the busy schedule of Salman Khan is Anil Kapoor. The actor has some interesting films in his kitty. He would be seen sharing screen space with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rajkummar Rao in Fanney Khan.
He will also turn on-screen father for his real-life children – Sonam and Harshvardhan Kapoor. For the first time, Anil will share screen space with Sonam Kapoor Ahuja in Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga. The 61-year-old actor would also be playing Harshvardhan's father in the Abhinav Bindra biopic.
Anil Kapoor will then be seen in the third installment of Dhamaal franchise. The film, titled Total Dhamaal, will get back the iconic on-screen pairing of Anil and Madhuri after almost two decades.
The Race 3 actor will next be seen in Drive, which also stars Sushant Singh Rajput. The film marks the directorial comeback of Tarun Mansukhani, whose last film was Dostana.
Jacqueline has also signed The Girl on the Train remake.
The actor who made a smashing comeback with Race 3 has more to offer. The actor has Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se and Housefull 4 in his kitty. While Yamla Pagla Deewana is set to release this year, Housefull 4 will release in 2019.
Remo D'Souza
After Race 3, Remo will direct Salman Khan in a dance drama. Some reports suggest that Jacqueline has been offered the role of the female lead. However, there is no confirmation.
Another dance film from the National Award-winning choreographer-turned-director will feature Varun Dhawan and Katrina Kaif. If rumours are to be believed, this will be the third installment of the ABCD (Any Body Can Dance) franchise. The director made an announcement about the project earlier this year.

Painful breasts. Cyclic mastalgia in women occurs commonly with menstruation. Noncyclic mastalgia in women may indicate mastitis (inflammation, often the result of bacterial infection).
Mastalgia in women is also common during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Mastalgia is uncommon in men and signals an underlying condition that requires a doctor's evaluation.
Mastalgia is a symptom rather than itself a health condition. The diagnostic path attempts to pinpoint the cause of the pain.
Diagnostic procedures the doctor may conduct include breast ultrasound and mammogram (x-ray of the breast).
Treatment targets the underlying cause.

November 1-2, 2018, hosted by the American Museum of Natural History and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY
November 7-8, 2019, hosted by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY. (Read the AIC News summary of the 2019 meeting) and the associated MET International Symposium on the Testing of Materials for Storage and Display of Cultural Heritage
November 12-13, 2020, virtual meeting
This group developed out of discussions at the 2017 annual meeting of the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections (SPNHC) which focused on effectively making resources available to describe and recommend best practices in choosing materials for storage, transport, and display that suit the required demand and are long-lasting and non-damaging. As discussions proceeded over the next few months, it was quickly realized that many related, parallel efforts were actively pursuing similar goals. Some examples include:
Conservation and Exhibition Planning: Material Testing for Design, Display, and Packing, sponsored by The Lunder Conservation Center and the Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation, 19-20 November, 2015
The Museum, Archives and Library Materials Working Group held at the Smithsonian Institution, NMNH, 7 March 2016
The Technical Committee for Materials – Association for Preservation Technology International annual meeting, Ottawa, 13 October, 2017
The MWG proposal for an exploratory group under AIC's Collection Care Network was approved by the AIC Board in May 2018 with a two-year exploratory charge. The MWG will underscore the directive in the AIC's Guidelines for Practice to "recognize the critical importance of preventive conservation as the most effective means of promoting the long-term preservation of cultural property" and further the museum professional's ability to "select methods and materials that, to the best of current knowledge, do not adversely affect cultural property or its future examination, scientific investigation, treatment, or function".
At the 2018 inaugural meeting three sub-groups were set up to direct initial activities:
Selection & Specifications
Resources & Dissemination
Each subgroup developed a mission statement as well as Short (1-2 years), Medium (3-5 years) and Long-Term (5+years) Goals listed below. The MWG is led by a volunteer Steering Committee chaired by Rebecca Kaczkowski, Museum Conservation Institute, Smithsonian Institution. The point person for each subgroup is listed in Italics below.
Develop an approach (decision-making process) to help end-users in the selection of appropriate materials for use with collections.
The S&S sub-group has further divided to focus on two projects:
1. Best Practices for Exhibition Guidelines
The working group determined that there are two existing that help end-users evaluate materials and make decisions on use. Both require updates and expansion:
Exhibit Conservation Guidelines (1999, NPS CD-ROM)
Conservation Standards & Guidelines for Exhibitions Utilizing Museum Collections (2005 FAIC Kress fellowship project - unpublished)
Participants from the MWG are working collaboratively with National Park Service staff to:
Merge the two texts and adapt them for optimal functionality by integrated them within AIC's wiki platform.
Update and expand the content, including both general concepts and detailed materials information which will dovetail with the MWG Fact Sheets.
2. Materials Fact Sheets
MWG's Materials Fact Sheets are quick reference sheets with material information relevant to all stakeholders involved in exhibit and storage planning: designers, fabricators, conservators, preparators, scientists, collection managers and more. The Fact Sheets bring together information that is currently scattered among a variety of online resources linking the AIC wiki, Conservation and Art Materials Encyclopedia Online (CAMEO), and Preparation, Art Handling and Collection Care Network (PACCIN) sites to allow users to more easily research materials for use in storage, exhibition and transport.
Fact Sheets are intended to:
Promote discussion and understanding between colleagues
Provide practical information for design and construction
Highlight preservation issues and provide links to more data
Develop Case Studies that illustrate the process and interaction of the various stages between materials selection and specification.
Determine and implement best method for obtaining community feedback (develop a listserv, product rating mechanism, etc.).
Highlight potential research projects.
Identify and present upcoming trends that impact material selection (sustainability, technology, etc.).
Educate by identifying topics that the community should understand better when considering specifications (i.e. what to test, when to spec., etc.).

Identify and refine methods for evaluating materials and to improve means for their implementation and interpretation for the end-user within the collections care community.
1. Round-Robins for Test Protocol Repeatability Assessing the repeatability of microchemical, Oddy, and volatiles analysis via gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS) by using agreed upon protocols and testing the same materials at different institutions. The first sets of tests were completed in 2019 and were largely in agreement. A second round of tests is underway to address inconsistencies in protocol interpretations and also whether slight variations in materials preparations from the same source batches will lead to appreciable differences in the results. The test protocols being used are:
Microchemical tests - pH pen, A-D strips, surface gel pH, LoC TAPPI, Beilstein chloride, and lead acetate paper for sulfur
Oddy tests - British Museum, IMA/Wintherthur, and Metropolitan Museum protocols
GCMS - solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and direct thermal desorption (DTD) with data from different institutions being compared 1.) traditionally by examining individual chromatographic peak mass spectra, and 2.) by constructing a single weighted-composite mass spectrum from an entire chromatographic run.
2. Updates to materials testing and instrumental analysis fact sheets The AIC's Wiki pages concerning materials testing, testing protocols and results, and instrumental analysis methods are being updated together with the other MWG subcommittees to provide a wide range of museum professionals with an overview of materials testing, protocol and instrumental details, sample types, applications, and budgetary considerations for nearly all analytical tools used in conservation and conservation science. Case studies will also included.
Short Term Goals
Identify core group of tests and materials (focus on methodology and protocol rather than results, conduct round-robin testing)
Update analytic tool information sheets for posting on the MWG wiki
Determine partnerships - Partner with European and UK groups (e.g. IAQ meeting in Cologne 2018, ASTM, ISO)
Write case studies – select a few (three to four) materials that are commonly used yet problematic (i.e. give conflicting results – such as polyethylene foam, expanded PVC). Determine how best to discuss and present materials, tests, and results
Develop standardized protocols for tests
Coordinate research between labs
Evaluate low tech vs. high tech methods (increased confidence with increased test levels) and present results
Medium Term Goals
Continue work on case studies and protocols
Work with Resources & Dissemination group on how best to present data, information, and interpretation on AIC wiki (or other online platform)
Determine how best to test interactions between materials
Broaden outreach – develop an international consortium that will expand beyond the existing group
Work to create a practical guide for end users

Gather, package, and disseminate data, information, and best practices to aid in choosing materials for storage, exhibition, and transport for the benefit of collecting institutions and cultural heritage communities.
Members of the R&D subgroup develop resources while also working in coordination with the other two subgroups on projects to facilitate sharing their information online. The short term goals of the R&D group have focused on:
1. Surveying the field
A survey assessing the desired needs and tools of those choosing materials for use with collections was completed in 2018. This work provides a framework to guide development of MWG activities. The survey results were visualized in Tableau for analysis.
2. Developing an initial online presence for MWG content
Three initiatives have been launched on the AIC wiki:
The Choosing Materials for Storage, Exhibition & Transport page introduces essential concepts that underpin the work of the MWG
The Image Gallery of Damages presents images as a visual learning to to demonstrate the damage caused by the use of inappropriate or incompatible materials for the storage, exhibition, and transport of cultural heritage artifacts.
Content from the National Park Service's 1999 Exhibit Conservation Guidelines was mounted online and is being linked to other MWG content.
3. Gathering citations and references
An online annotated bibliography is available through Zotero to facilitate research and future reading. New abstracts written by MWG members will be shared with AATA to enhance access to the literature.
While current work is presented on AIC's wiki the R&D group is examining whether a new online resource will be needed to meet the expansive goals of the group. Future goals include:
Outline a proposed site/resource profile and information architecture for a future online portal/tool
Develop an estimation of costs, potential funders, income streams and appropriate grant opportunities for funding a new online platform
Coordinate additional content production as needed
Create a plan for continued development and sustainability

Chobani Yogurt is set to unveil its 950,000-square-foot facility on Dec. 17.
Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter will be flanked by Olympians Lauren Cheney (soccer) and Steven Lopez (taekwondo), Paralympian Allison Jones (cycling) and Hamdi Ulukaya, the president of Chobani Yogurt, for Monday's grand opening of Chonbani's Twin Falls factory.
When Otter and Chobani officials announced plans for the production facility in November 2011, up to 400 jobs—construction and full-time positions—were promised. When the factory is at full capacity, company officials say it will produce as many as 4.2 million cases of yogurt per week.
The facility, in southeast Twin Falls, covers approximately 950,000 square feet and is Chobani's second facility in the United States.
A Chobani statement says the yogurt company will also use Monday's event to unveil new products for 2013.

Where do your beans come from?
From its origins as a wild vine in Central and South America to the thousands of varieties grown around the world today, beans have evolved to be one of the world's most important and versatile crops.
The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) originated as a wild vine in Central and South America. Thanks to generations of Indigenous food growers cultivating beans over many millennia, there are thousands of varieties within the P. vulgaris species grown around the world today.
This incredible diversity of common beans encompasses many unique varieties—that seem anything but common—and a lot of the everyday beans you're sure to be familiar with including black beans, kidney beans, cannellini beans and pinto beans.
This diversity didn't happen by accident; farmers selected the plants they liked the best and saved seeds from them, nudging beans toward heat tolerance, redness, frost resistance and more. They passed these seeds and knowledge down to their children and the cycle continued. So every bean you see today is the work of thousands of people.
Learn how to plant, grow and save bean seeds. We'll be with you every step of the way, all season long!
Beans are members of the Fabaceae family, commonly known as the legume plant family. One of the perks of this plant family is they have the amazing ability to naturally increase nitrogen content in the soil, making the nitrogen accessible to other plants around them. In this way, beans don't just grow nutritious, delicious food (scroll down for some delightful recipes), they help to enrich the soil in which they grow.
RELATED: Learn how farmers in Timor-Leste are using trees in the legume family to regenerate the health of degraded soil.
Bean recipes
Dan Jason, owner of Salt Spring Seeds is one of Canada's best known organic seed farmers. He has long advocated for Canadians to grow and eat more pulses (beans, peas, chickpeas, favas and lentils). His book, The Power of Pulses, provides tips for gardeners wishing to grow and save their own pulses as well as a collection of delicious and creative recipes. The following two recipes, one for fresh beans and one for dried, were provided with kind permission by Dan. Enjoy!
Maple-baked northern beans
Whether you enjoy them on their own, with creamy polenta or piled on toast beneath a runny egg, baked beans are nourishing and comforting. For a quick and hearty breakfast, prepare a day ahead and reheat in the oven.
1 medium yellow onion
2 ½ cups (600 mL) dry navy beans, soaked in water overnight
6 tbsp (90mL) maple syrup
¼ cup (60mL) unsulphured molasses
2 tsp (10 mL) dry mustard powder
2 tbsp (30 mL) tomato paste
2 tsp (10 mL) Worcestershire sauce
4 cups (1L) boiling water
1 tbsp (15 mL) apple cider vinegar
Salt and pepper, to taste.
Preheat oven to 250F (121C).
Peel the onion, trim its ends and stud it with the cloves.
To cook in the oven, place onion in a four-quart (16 cup/3.8 L) Dutch oven along with all other ingredients except for vinegar, salt and pepper. Cover pot and place in the oven. Lifting the lid and stirring occasionally, cook the beans for six to seven hours, until they are tender and the liquid has reduced to a thick glaze.
To cook in a slow cooker, boil beans in a medium pot for 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and add to slow cooker along with all other ingredients except for vinegar, salt and pepper. Cook on low for six hours, or until they are tender and the liquid has reduced to a thick glaze.
Add vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove onion and serve.
Quick pickled bean
Makes 1 lb (455 g) of pickled beans
Whether you toss one in a Caesar or pile a few on a cheese board, there's nothing like the vinegary snap of a pickled bean.
1 lb (455 g) green beans, stems removed
1 ½ cups (350 mL) water
1 ¼ cups (300 mL) white wine vinegar
4 tbs (60 mL) sugar
1 tbsp (15 mL) pickling salt
2 tsp (10 mL) mustard seeds
¼ tsp (1 mL) red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, sliced
4 sprigs dill
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare a large bowl of ice water. Add green beans to boiling water and cook until al dente, about two minutes.
Drain and immediately plunge into ice water. Once completely cool, drain.
In a small saucepan, bring water, vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard seeds, red pepper flakes and garlic to a boil. Remove from heat and stir to ensure sugar has dissolved. Cool completely.
Stand blanched beans in mason jars and add dill sprigs. Fill jars with cooled pickling liquid and allow to infuse for a minimum of six hours before eating: the flavour will become stronger over time. Will keep in the fridge for two weeks.
No-fuss bean vinaigrette
2 lbs favourite snap bean
2 tbsp oil of your choice
Salt, pepper, herbs to taste
For additional flavour add chopped roasted nuts, seeds, Parmesan or feta cheese.
Ask your farmer how best to prepare the beans, as varieties may have different cooking times. Trim the stems of beans. Boil for approx. four minutes, drain and cool them before tossing with the vinaigrette and any additional ingredients.

Plague-infected prairie dogs shut down parts of Denver
The plague is still here!
Prairie dogs infected with the plague – yes, the plague – have shut down parts of a city and wildlife area near Denver this summer.
Plague continues to strike Denver prairie dog colony.
Sometimes, ancient health threats reappear unexpectedly, out-of-nowhere. And in such situations, officials try to cover up the event until it is under control or seems to be under control.
Today, I have just learned that sections of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge were closed in late July as a precautionary measure after the discovery of the plague.
Unaffected refuge areas reopened Saturday, but other locations in Commerce City, a suburb north of Denver, will remain closed until Labor Day weekend, the Tri-County Health Department said.
"The prairie dog colonies are being monitored and burrows are being treated with insecticide, but there is still evidence of fleas in the hiking and camping areas, which could put people and pets at risk, so those areas will remain closed," said John M. Douglas, Jr., the Executive Director of Tri-County Health Department.
Why Is Bubonic Plague Still A Thing?
Despite its name and fatal history in the Middle Ages, the plague is rare and generally treatable, at least in the United States.
The plague is caused by the Yersinia pestis bacteria and is fairly common in the rural western US, including Colorado, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
On average, seven human plague cases have been reported each year in recent decades.
In general, small mammals and rodents with infected fleas carry the disease, which can spread to pets or humans by flea bites or contact with an infected mammal.
More than 80% of US cases have been the bubonic form. Untreated bubonic plague can turn into the more serious pneumonic plague, which causes rapidly developing pneumonia after bacteria spread to the lungs.
At least, inthis particular case, no human Plague infections have been reported.

FROGS, SALT WATER, WACKY WEDNESDAY, AND SLEEPING!
Mr. Carter, the reporter of the week, shared some fascinating facts about African Bullfrogs. African Bullfrogs are found in Africa. The tadpoles hatch after only two days in the eggs. Did you know that males can grow to be the size of a cantaloupe? Females get to be about half the size. The males fight each other over mating rights and they're fights get pretty intense. We're glad we don't have to fight over friends. Thanks Carter!
Our scientist of the week, Mr. Silas, shared a science experiment that tied in perfectly with what we learned from Mr. G yesterday. He asked us whether an egg would float better in plain water or salt water. We had some good reasoning and 12 of us thought salt water while 5 of us thought plain water. Turns out salt water is more dense than plain water. The egg floats in salt water because it is less dense and the egg sinks in the plain water because it is more dense. Water that is more dense pushes the egg up just like high air pressure pushes on marshmallows and makes them shrink. Silas shared that the Dead Sea is really salty and really dense. Now we all want to take a little trip across the pond! Thank you Silas!
In honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday on Friday, two of our friends brought in some of their Seuss favorites. Andrew read us the very appropriate Wacky Wednesday. Edy shared The Sleep Book, which after lunch made us all want to take a nap! We love when our friends read to us!
PRESENTING A SMALLER THREE ACT TASK!
Look at the picture below. What do you notice? What do you wonder?
Hmmmm? How many ping pong balls are in that container?
We're going to need some more information to solve that problem. Does this help?
...there are 4 ping pong balls.
What happens to marshmallows when you put them in a sealed jar and pump air on them?
Get a large threaded test tube. Drop four mini-marshmallows inside. Screw on a hand pump really tight. Pump it 20 times while watching the marshmallows. What happens to them? Next try this same experiment using a vacuum pump.
The marshmallows get smaller! Air takes up space and the more air you squish into the test tube the less room the marshmallows have. You've created a high air pressure environment. The extra air is pushing really hard on the marshmallows. Air is made up of 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, and 1% other gases? All that air takes up a lot of space!
Check out the opposite situation. With a vacuum pump the air is taken out and you create a low air pressure environment. The marshmallow now has room to expand, but the container is really hard to open...until you let the air back in.
Hmmm? How many beads are in that container?
We're going to need some more information to solve that gigantic problem. Does this help?
Today was all hands on, all day! And it was great. We took the water beads from Ella's science experiment yesterday and tried to figure out how many there were in that gigantic bucket. We did a lot of counting, a lot of adding, and even a lot of multiplying! More on this coming soon.
We also had a visit from a secret reader, Miss Kelly, Carter's mom. She read us a book we'd never heard before called Mr. Pine's Purple House. This was her favorite book growing up. It's all about a man, Mr. Pine, who lives in a neighborhood with 50 white houses, with 50 little pine trees outside, and 50 little bushes all lined up in a row.. He wants something a little different so he decides to paint his house purple. Turns out his splash of color sends the whole neighborhood on a painting spree and soon they live in a much more exciting place.
What an amazingly blue, perfect, snowy, fast, and wonderful day on cross country skis. We slipped, we slid, we balanced, we fell down, but most of all we worked together and become better friends and more confident skiers. Thank you to the volunteers who made it possible.
First grade is hard work and we were feeling kind of stuck in a writing rut. Maybe you know of the feeling as "writer's block." Anyway, we decided as a class that we needed some time to write fiction stories and take a walk on our creative sides. We read a few fiction stories and compared the plot lines. We noticed they all have great characters, interesting settings, lots of stuff that happens, a problem that needs to be solved, and eventually a solution.
In the awesome book, The Bad Seed, the characters are the bad seed, his family, seed citizens, and a giant human. The setting is a beautiful sunflower field and a city. The story starts with a happy seed family. They all get along great and love life until fall comes and the flower wilts. They get raked up into sunflower packages and sold to hungry humans at baseball games. The bad seed ends up alone and lonely and decides he might as well just not care about anyone else--the problem! Until he decides he doesn't like being alone and makes a conscious decision to become a better seed--the solution!
We used this cool ice cream sundae to start mapping out our ideas with the same story elements. We can't wait to start writing tomorrow! Stay tuned, these are going to be good!
Our Scientist of the Week, Mr. Boti, showed us how to make Elephant Toothpaste! What?! Turns out when you combine yeast, hydrogen peroxide, a little dish soap, and some food coloring you create a pretty cool chemical reaction. The yeast works together with the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to release an extra molecule of oxygen. This creates water, a lot of extra oxygen, and some heat. What it looks like is a lot of foam being created very quickly, or maybe toothpaste big enough for an elephant. If you look closely you can see steam rising, which is the heat being produced by an exothermic reaction. Check out the video below to try this at home with an adult. Thanks Boti!
6% Hydrogen Peroxide on the left. 20% Hydrogen Peroxide on the right.
Sloan shared a very interesting article about NASA's recent discovery. There is a 400,000 sq. km ocean on Saturn's moon Titan, named the Kraken Mare! This is the largest body of liquid discovered in space. NASA is interested in finding out just what sort of things might be in there, so they are contemplating sending a submarine up into space on a rocket ship.. Picture that! Thanks Sloan!
And for our secret reader, we had the pleasure of hearing from Ana's dad, Mr. Sasa. He shared a book that was new to all of us: Love is all around St. Louis--(also very appropriate for Valentine's Day). We learned a little about the city of St. Louis and discovered new places to look for love here in Aspen too. Thank you! Oh, and we even got to taste a little St. Louis chocolate.

This is where the Three Box Solution's ability to achieve significant nonlinear changes starts with a realization that time is a continuum. The future is not located in some far-off horizon, and you cannot postpone the work of building it until tomorrow. To get to the future, you must build it day by day. That means being able to selectively set aside certain beliefs,m assumptions, and practices created in your business today and its future potential.
Join us as we talk with Vijay and learn the basic idea behind what he calls the Three-Box Solution.
The Power of Introversion – Is being an Introvert Holding you Back?
This quote is an excerpt out of an article that told a story of a family's 5-month adventure across Europe.
When I was a kid, my mom, God bless her heart did everything she could to help me come out of my shell. She'd tell me to stop being shy, to be more like Suzy and Tanja because they were outgoing. Talk more and get out there she'd say. Nudge or even push me depending on who's perspective you were asking, to hop on the roller coaster or raise my hand up high in class.
I was torn, uncertain and filled with doubt about who I really was (not who my mom wanted me to be) and who I thought I needed to be, to be happy, fulfilled and successful (the extrovert ideal many of us try to live up to).
Knowing your strengths, talents, skills and zone of genius are important, even critical to success. But its all for not if you don't know your temperament – are you an Introvert or an Extrovert. Your temperament is innate, natural and cannot be changed. You can deny it and live outside it – but will cost your energy, happiness and results.
In this month's, Breakthrough Tip with Finka she'll share how daring to embrace your Introvert temperament plays a critical role in informing and influencing how you show up, feel and the impact and results you deliver.
Introverts can be wildly successful, look at – Larry Page (Google); Bill Gates (Microsoft), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Marissa Mayer (Yahoo), Steve Wozniak (Apple), Guy Kawasaki (Marketing Guru, Ex-Apple), and so can you!
Tune in on Monday's Breakthrough Tip to learn how you can turn up the dial on your Introvert Power to make an impact and deliver results.
Andrea Waltz, author, and speaker for Go For No delivers a Breakthrough Byte is a 20-minute segment mindset tip at the close of Breakthrough Radio show each 4th Monday. The Breakthrough Byte is more than the tips, shorter than the feature interview to allow listeners to enjoy multiple learning styles to absorb our content. Andrea has created powerful series for your Go For No Breakthrough Tip each month.
Are you feeling confused or overwhelmed in your business?
Have you been able to choose a central focus?
And based on that, how you fulfill it?
Choosing to choose is difficult but there are some important reasons why you must.
For example in Keller's book, organizations want Productivity and Profit, the two P's. However, most have not tapped into the other two P's that are just as critical: Purpose and Priority.
Having a purpose forces a choice! When you have that purpose you are able to focus.
What that means is deciding what things you're NOT going to do. My husband and business partner Richard calls this is NOT TO DO list. And if you saw his TO DO list you'd know how important it is for him to have a NOT TO DO list.
The irony is, people are often operating from a lack mentality and fear. The fear is… "I won't get enough business or have enough to offer so I have to do it all." The sad thing is, with those fears guiding your purpose and choices, your path becomes difficult and running your business effectively becomes impossible. The Do It All mentality does not work. From a customer or client standpoint, they don't respond to it either. You have nothing that makes you different. You are doing it all!

Starting from scratch to deliver a brand new sports news program was the challenge for Sky Deutschland.
Only 8 months to implement the solution, to establish the workflows and feed the team with the needed skill to produce and broadcast fresh news 19 hours per day every day.
"It was very exciting and the environment limitless" said Francesco Donato Vice President of Broadcast Operations at Sky Deutschland, because with this project "we have been able to freely apply our teorema to create an efficient and powerful system for the German SKY which currently airs 70 channels with more than 40 in High Definition.
The initial brief was to create news and sport stories with the highest quality and freshness, so to perform as specified, around 160 people were employed, among which, about 100 journalists as well as the technical and production staff to create and broadcast contents to feed the linear and the multimedia platform.
With this project one of the targets given was to insist on a revolutionary production system capable of delivering in the hands of the journalists the freedom to control any of the aspects of the editorial process and the ability to easily steer the production process.
"I recall three numbers 14, 7 and 3," said Francesco Donato, "Fourteen reminds me of the number of people seen some years ago at work in a old style control room; then seven reminds me of the number of people seen at work in a control room few years ago and three are the people presently working in our main control room in SKY Sport News, Germany" and with this sentence he meant to remark how a smart mixture of advanced technology and personnel expertise results with an high level of efficiency and performance.
The solution adopted has been based on systems which are functional thanks to about 500 templates which represents all of the elements part of the rundown of the show.
To allow all this, a team of suppliers delivered their solutions.
Vizrt supplied the real time graphic content creation and delivery platform which performs very well thanks to the graphics templates which has been provided by Reality Check, then on the side of the automation Mosart delivered the system which drives the fully automated studio environment as well as controls all the devices which are typically installed into an Audio/Video gallery like the audio and vision mixer and many other equipments, with the result that almost all the devices are driven from the play-list of the shows which is refreshed every 30 minutes, then, in addition to all this above, Avid provided their Newsroom solution, the play-out devices and the post-production environment.
You can see the results of these choices simply entering into the Gallery, there you will find two Control Room operators and one journalist working to manage the studio play-out through standard PC and dedicated graphical user interface without need to put their fingers on typical broadcast devices and then thanks to this solution the production processes became faster moreover increasing the quality of the product on air and reaching robust operational service level.
Then finally thanks to the optimization of the human participation to the editorial and production processes Sky has been able to reallocate operational budget in favour of SNG, ENG and sport live contribution activities to make the news bulletin always fresh and enriched of contents.

Showing results for tags 'carbon 14'.
I left this discussion last year because the fight over semantics was so stupid. Anyone who believes the universe came from nothing or believes that something comes from nothing - one cannot argue with people like that - not worth the effort. It is a totally unscientific statement and even if you say you are a scientist 1000 times, it does not make you a scientist who bases your conclusion on evidence if you really "believe" that statement. To say that a cell "appears" to be designed proves the simplicity of the mind or proves incomprehension or lack of study of the complexity of the cell itself. Nano-biotechnology has proven the complexity. IN any case there are now many papers which prove that collagen, blood vessels and more than 10 proteins have been found together with Carbon 14 in fossils. These samples have been taken on numerous different fossils and every time there is the same result (repeated tests) without contamination.... This proves the fossils are only thousands of years old and not millions.
Can we trust carbon 14 dating?
If so, then what do archaeological finds tell us?

Interviews with Caz Walton
Inspired by Stoke Mandeville
Interviewer Paul Dickinson, 20th June 2012
I almost got into sport by accident actually. I'd had a couple of years in and out of hospital with various operations, and I was going up to Great Ormond Street for rehab. One of the physios said to me "there's this thing going on at Stoke Mandeville, why don't you go and have a look", you know. I did like sport and I'd started to do a little bit of swimming as rehab and I thought "well, okay" and my parents took me up there and that was it, hooked.
The switch from rehab to competition was seamless I think. I was always competitive anyway and I think, I'd done a bit of swimming and I went to Stoke Mandeville and I saw these other people swimming and doing other sports and I thought "I think could do that, and I think I could possibly do it better" – again, the arrogance of youth. So, I started training. I was really lucky because I got into Beckenham Ladies' Swimming Club, which was a very successful able-bodied club in those days and they gave me a coach and I went training every minute I could. So that was my first sport, and from there I just moved on to… had to move on to other sports but…
I always wanted to win. It was just something in me. I wanted to be the best, and I was lucky because I did seem to have the sort of talent to help me achieve that and within two months of starting sport, I think I'd broken a couple of national swimming records and the following year, I held three world records in different strokes and it just went on from there really.
The first time I went to Stoke Mandeville was possibly a little under-whelming. I turned up at the hospital and we were expected to stay in the wards. I dread to think what Health and Safety would say about it today because, I mean, you were so close to the person in the next bed that you could almost pick their leg up and move it by mistake for your own. But, yes, we were either accommodated in the wards themselves, which was the better of the two options, or in sort of nissen huts which had been built by the RAF in 1950-something, which were cold in winter and hot in summer but it wasn't the way it looked, it was the way it felt. It was just an amazing environment, there was so much of a buzz in those… well I think there still is… but certainly in those days, that's what caught me, there was a camaraderie. The hospital staff and Poppa Guttmann were amazing, and there was the sport as well.
Sports facilities were a little basic. We got transported up to RAF Halton to swim – they didn't have a swimming pool on site. We did have a basketball court. When I first went there, there was no athletics track. We only did 60m in those days so we only really needed a 100m strip but that was a long time before it went in. And field events was just, sort of, a painted line on the grass and get on with it. But there was nowhere else like it.
Winning gold in the 1964 Tokyo Games
In the very early days of Paralympic sport, because there was so little finance… we had to do a number of different sports. If you didn't do more than one you just weren't selected. Caz Walton

"Boeing 747 jumbo jet." Technology, Aircraft, Q-files Encyclopedia, 11 Jul. 2013.
Technology, Aircraft, s.v. "Boeing 747 jumbo jet," accessed April 19, 2019.
The Boeing 747 is one of the world's largest airliners, also known as the "Jumbo Jet". It can carry up to 568 passengers, but normally carries 467 in first, business and economy cabins. It cruises at up to 1041 km/h (646 mph), at an altitude of 10,000 metres (33,000 feet). Its maximum range is 14,815 kilometres (9205 miles)—more than a third of the way round the world. The first 747 passenger service begain in 1970. The newest version of the plane, the 747-8, entered service in 2012.
The Boeing 747 first flew on 9th February 1969. (The very first plane, called the City of Everett after the place where it was built, is now kept in the Museum of Flight in Seattle, USA.) Just under a year later, on 21st January 1970, a 747 took off from New York bound for London with the first fare-paying passengers aboard. By July of that year, a million people had travelled in a Jumbo Jet.
A later version of the Jumbo, the Boeing 747-400, looked similar to the original 747 on the outside, but inside, new technology made it almost a completely different aeroplane. For example, on the flight deck of the original version, there were 971 lights, dials and gauges; they numbered only 365 on the 747-400. The engines were 50% more powerful—and only half as noisy.
More than 160 km (100 miles) of electrical wiring runs through the 747.


Ok, I'm off now for a week of merrymaking (i.e. Christmas), so if you read my blog, thanks for doing so and have a great Christmas! I'm not taking my laptop with me so won't be posting for the next week, although I'll have my iPhone with me if I see anything spectacular.

I have been working on connecting to IFTTT using the ESP. IFTTT is a platform that makes it easy to connect different web apps and services to create applets or recipes. They work in an If this, then that (that is where the letters IFTTT come from) format. For example, if I like a video on YouTube, save its name and link to a list on Evernote.
IFTTT has a service called Maker that allows a user to send a web request to their Maker service which can then trigger an action. I used this feature to create an applet, which, when triggered by the ESP will send data to a Google Drive spreadsheet.
This will be wired the same way as all my previous Arduino and ESP guides. Most of the code is fairly similar and it is explained there as well. The wiring is here and the general info about sending GET requests is here.
The first step is to create an IFTTT account and then create an applet (this link answers many of the questions about applets) using Maker.
After creating an applet, go into settings on the Maker page.
Then, copy your personal URL and go to that page.
On this page, you can see the information for sending HTTP requests and the full link that can be used in a GET request. The code will show how to add data values which can be sent over as query parameters in the request.
Once this is all set up, you have the necessary information to send data to the web using IFTTT and your ESP.
Next, download the code, add your credentials, and then upload it to the Arduino.
This guide may be helpful, it is how I got my start. However, like many of the guides, this uses the ESPWifi library which I did not use.

Q: Generate Set of Integers through HashSet using Java Streams I was trying to create a HashSet by get all keys of a HashMap whose values are greater than 0. To do so, i considered Java Streams, something with Collectors, but without success. The only way i got success was using a forEach loop with an if statement inside, described in the code below:
HashMap<Integer, Double> profiencyOnSkill;
HashSet<Integer> skills;

profiencyOnSkill.put(1, 0.5);
profiencyOnSkill.put(2, 0.0);
profiencyOnSkill.put(3, 1.0);
profiencyOnSkill.put(4, 0.02);
profiencyOnSkill.put(5, 0.0);

profiencyOnSkill
            .entrySet()
            .stream()
            .forEach(pair -> {
                if (pair.getValue() > 0.0) {
                    skills.add(pair.getKey());
                }
            });

skills.forEach(System.out::println);

Is there any direct way to do with Collectors? All my ideas with Collectors returned a Map.Entry<Integer, Double>. Something like that:
Set<Map.Entry<Integer, Double>> someSet = proficiencyOnSkill.entrySet().stream().filter(x-> x.getValue() == 2).collect(Collectors.toSet());

A: Note that if you don't need the original mappings afterwards, you can also do
HashMap<Integer, Double> profiencyOnSkill = …;
profiencyOnSkill.values().removeIf(v -> v<=0);
Set<Integer> skills = profiencyOnSkill.keys();

skills.forEach(System.out::println);

A: Please initialize your types so your code is runnable. Anyway, yes you can filter on your criteria then map on the Entry.key and collect to a Set like
Map<Integer, Double> profiencyOnSkill = new HashMap<>();

profiencyOnSkill.put(1, 0.5);
profiencyOnSkill.put(2, 0.0);
profiencyOnSkill.put(3, 1.0);
profiencyOnSkill.put(4, 0.02);
profiencyOnSkill.put(5, 0.0);
Set<Integer> skills = profiencyOnSkill.entrySet().stream()
        .filter(pair -> pair.getValue() > 0)
        .map(Entry::getKey).collect(Collectors.toSet());

And you could (but don't have to) just print skills.
System.out.println(skills);

I get
[1, 3, 4]

A: HashMap<Integer, Double> profiencyOnSkill = new HashMap<>();
HashSet<Integer> skills = new HashSet<>();

profiencyOnSkill.put(1, 0.5);
profiencyOnSkill.put(2, 0.0);
profiencyOnSkill.put(3, 1.0);
profiencyOnSkill.put(4, 0.02);
profiencyOnSkill.put(5, 0.0);

// To get both key and value
HashSet<Entry<Integer, Double>> hs = profiencyOnSkill.entrySet().stream().filter(e -> e.getValue() > 0)
        .collect(Collectors.toCollection(HashSet::new));
System.out.println(hs);

// To get only keys
skills = profiencyOnSkill.entrySet().stream()
    .filter(e -> e.getValue() > 0).map(Entry::getKey)
    .collect(Collectors.toCollection(HashSet::new));

System.out.println(skills);

A: Here's an alternative version that doesn't make use of streams:
Set<Integer> skills = new HashSet<>();
profiencyOnSkill.forEach((k, v) -> { if (v > 0.0) skills.add(k); });

Which is no more than an improved version of your original code.
