just bought a bunch myself at WF, after reading glowing the article in Sunset Magazine. Apparently they were developed at UC Riverside, in the town where I spent my childhood... possibly I ate some as a kid. Not really an answer, just thinking out loud.
Yes they are. I hope you were able to find someone working in produce to answer the question for you.

Glimpse: A Novel (Kindle Edition)
"A waking dream, at once powerful and subtly sinister." —Clive Barker, New York Times bestselling author
A chilling thriller that explores what happens when reality and nightmares converge, and how far one will go to protect the innocent when their own brain is a threat.
From New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry comes a novel that puts a bold new spin on the supernatural thriller.
Rain Thomas is a mess. Seven years an addict and three difficult years clean. Racked by guilt for the baby she gave up for adoption when she was sixteen. Still grieving for the boy's father who died in Iraq. Alone, discarded by her family, with only the damaged members of her narcotics anonymous meetings as friends. Them, and the voices in her head.
One morning, on the way to a much-needed job interview, she borrows reading glasses to review her resume. There is a small crack in one lens and through that damaged slice of glass she sees a young boy go running down the aisle of the subway train. Is he screaming with laughter or just screaming? When she tries to find the boy, he's gone and no one has seen him.
The day spins out of control. Rain loses whole chunks of time. She has no idea where her days went. The voices she hears are telling her horrible things. And even stranger things are happening. Unsure whether she is going insane, Rain sets out to find answers to long buried questions about an earlier life she has avoided for years—in what may be the most dangerous collision of all, that between reality and nightmare.
How far will one person go to save someone they love?

Jilted Prince (Hell's Son Book 2) (Kindle Edition)
Eve Langlais
She left him at the altar, but the devil is making him keep his promise.
Destiny is calling Chris, yet someone forgot to give him an instruction manual on conquering the world. Being the Antichrist is all well and good, but how is he supposed to know how to bring about Armageddon? He's still waiting for his army of minions, the glory, the riches. And where is the respect?
You'd think any woman would be ecstatic at the thought of marrying the future ruler of the world.
Not Isobel.
She keeps spouting things like "forced to get married," "love me for myself, not because Daddy made you."
It doesn't help that his psychotic mother with a penchant for playing with dead things has taken an interest. However, having her henchman of the apocalypse attempt to kidnap him isn't the way to get in his good graces.
Things are starting to get complicated on Earth. Dark forces are rising, Chris's powers are still developing—and he's pretty sure his dad, Lucifer, wants him dead. What's the destroyer of the world to do?
Point him to the nearest bar. This calls for more beer.
Born of Darkness: A Hunter Legacy Novel (Midnight Breed Hunter Legacy Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
Hunters. The most lethal Breed vampires in existence, and none feared more than Asher. Until a pretty Vegas grifter on the run for her life turns the former assassin's dark world–and his heart–upside down…
New York Times bestselling author Lara Adrian introduces the first novel in a thrilling new vampire romance series set in the darkly seductive Midnight Breed paranormal story world.
As a former assassin in the Hunter program, Asher is one of a small group of Gen One Breed vampires who survived the horrors of a madman's laboratory and the cruelty of the training that made him one of the most lethal beings in existence. Now, twenty years after his escape from those hellish origins, Asher is a loner whose heart is as cold as his skills are merciless. But when he thwarts a killing under way in the middle of the desert outside Las Vegas, Asher meets a beautiful woman who draws him into a deadly game against powerful enemies–one that will test both his skills and his tarnished honor.
Naomi Fallon is used to getting out of dicey situations. Orphaned as a child after her mother's murder, she didn't survive twenty-six years on the street without using up most of her nine lives. But when her latest caper lands her in the Mojave against a Vegas gangster's henchmen, she's certain her number is up. Then he appears–immense, brutal, and far from human. Naomi's never needed anyone's help, least of all one of the Breed. But after one risk too many, only a man with Asher's skills can keep her safe. Yet the solitary, seductively handsome vampire has enemies of his own, and a secret that will not only shatter her faith in him but her heart, proving what she's feared all along–that trust is only an illusion and love may be the sharpest weapon of all.
Book 1 in a brand-new Midnight Breed spin-off series of standalone vampire romance books that can be enjoyed in any order. Complete HEA and NO cliffhangers!

"Hot and humorous." —USAToday.com
It's not every day that a beautiful naked woman falls out of the sky and lands face-first on grizzly shifter Berg Dunn's hotel balcony. Definitely they don't usually hop up and demand his best gun. Berg gives the lady a grizzly-sized t-shirt and his cell phone, too, just on style points. And then she's gone, taking his XXXL heart with her. By the time he figures out she's a honey badger shifter, it's too late.
Honey badgers are survivors. Brutal, vicious, ill-tempered survivors. Or maybe Charlie Taylor-MacKilligan is just pissed that her useless father is trying to get them all killed again, and won't even tell her how. Protecting her little sisters has always been her job, and she's not about to let some pesky giant grizzly protection specialist with a network of every shifter in Manhattan get in her way. Wait. He's trying to help? Why would he want to do that? He's cute enough that she just might let him tag along—that is, if he can keep up …

The department shrink always told Nick Gregory he had a hero complex that was going to get him killed one day, or worse. This is definitely worse.

As the Federation Starship Voyager continues to lead the Full Circle Fleet in its exploration of the Delta Quadrant, Admiral Kathryn Janeway remains concerned about the Krenim Imperium and its ability to rewrite time to suit its whims. At Captain Chakotay's suggestion, however, she orders the fleet to focus its attention on a unique planet in a binary system, where a new element has been discovered. Several biospheres exist on this otherwise uninhabitable world, each containing different atmospheres and features that argue other sentient beings once resided on the surface. Janeway hopes that digging into an old-fashioned scientific mystery will lift the crews' morale, but she soon realizes that the secrets buried on this world may be part of a much larger puzzle—one that points to the existence of a species whose power to reshape the galaxy might dwarf that of the Krenim.
Meanwhile, Lieutenants Nancy Conlon and Harry Kim continue to struggle with the choices related to Conlon's degenerative condition. Full Circle's medical staff discovers a potential solution, but complications will force a fellow officer to confront her people's troubled past and her own future in ways she never imagined…

So when twelve-year-old orphan Anders takes one elemental form and his twin sister, Rayna, takes another, he wonders whether they are even related. Family or not, Rayna is Anders's only true friend. She's nothing like the brutal, cruel dragons who claimed her as one of their own and stole her away.

Rosalyn Eves
Lost Crow Conspiracy is the dark, dazzling, action-packed sequel to Anna Arden's explosive societal debut in YA fantasy trilogy Blood Rose Rebellion.
Sixteen-year old Anna Arden was once just the magically barren girl from an elite Luminate family. Now she has broken the Binding–and Praetheria, the creatures held captive by the spell, wreak havoc across Europe. Lower-class citizens have access to magic for the first time, while other Luminates lose theirs forever. Austria and Hungary are at odds once more.
Anna Arden did not know breaking the Binding would break the world.
Anna thought the Praetheria were on her side, content and grateful to be free from the Binding. She thought her cousin Matyas's blood sacrifice to the disarm the spell would bring peace, equality, justice. She thought her future looked like a society that would let her love a Romani boy, Gabor.
But with the Monarchy breathing down her neck and the Praetheria intimidating her at every turn, it seems the conspiracies have only just begun.
As threat of war sweeps the region, Anna quickly discovers she can't solve everything on her own. Now there's only one other person who might be able to save the country before war breaks out. The one person Anna was sure she'd never see again. A bandit. A fellow outlaw. A man known as the King of Crows. Matyas.
The Continent (Kindle Edition)
Keira Drake
"Have we really come so far, when a tour of the Continent is so desirable a thing? We've traded our swords for treaties, our daggers for promises—but our thirst for violence has never been quelled. And that's the crux of it—it can't be quelled. It's human nature."
For her sixteenth birthday, Vaela Sun receives the most coveted gift in all the Spire—a trip to the Continent. It seems an unlikely destination for a holiday: a cold, desolate land where two nations remain perpetually locked in combat. Most citizens lucky enough to tour the Continent do so to observe the spectacle and violence of battle, a thing long vanished in the peaceful realm of the Spire. For Vaela, the war holds little interest. As a talented apprentice cartographer and a descendant of the Continent herself, she sees the journey as a dream come true: a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to improve upon the maps she's drawn of this vast, frozen land.
But Vaela's dream all too quickly turns to nightmare as the journey brings her face-to-face with the brutal reality of a war she's only read about. Observing from the safety of a heli-plane, Vaela is forever changed by the sight of the bloody battle being waged far beneath her. And when a tragic accident leaves her stranded on the Continent, Vaela finds herself much closer to danger than she'd ever imagined—and with an entirely new perspective as to what war truly means. Starving, alone and lost in the middle of a war zone, Vaela must try to find a way home—but first, she must survive.

My aunt has been kidnapped by vampires, and it's up to me to save her. Only…I had no idea vampires existed. None. Nada.

Then there's the vampire Sebastian, who seems slightly nicer than most of the bloodsuckers I've run into so far. Yes, he's the hottest being I've ever come across, but there's no way I can trust him. He swears he's helping me get answers, but there's more to his story. Now I'm a key pawn in a raging vampire war, and I need to pick the right ally.
But my chances of surviving this war are slim at best, when the side I choose might be the one that wants me dead the most.

She unwittingly frees the Sleeper, an ancient demon whose duty it is to awaken the God of Destruction. Her classmates and beloved mother are frozen in time, and it's up to Aru to save them.

SLM® Metal Powder & Material Parameters
It only takes 3 tools to make you successful with metal additive manufacturing:
1. The SLM® machine fitting your needs
2. The metal powder that defines the later purposes and functionality of a part
3. Precisely engineered SLM® parameters as the missing link.
Our open parameters are the result of our vast experience in multi-laser technology and a diligent development and qualification procedure. In conjunction with the open architecture philosophy, we together with our partners have unlocked more than 45 materials to date – and counting.
SLM® Materials
Open architecture makes it possible: the largest metal portfolio of any metal AM company. We and our partners have successfully worked with more than 45 materials up to this day. Is your material missing or would you like to source these or any other powder through us? Get in touch with our Materials Team!
Materials Team
SLM® Parameters
The missing link between machine and metal powder is your ticket into the world of SLM® : our precisely engineered and thoroughly validated SLM® parameters. They are key to produce fully functional parts with properties you can expect and rely on. We keep it simple and offer three categories to you: from high-resolution complex details (Precision) up to the highest build rates (Productivity) or right in between (Prime).
Integrated Powder Handling
When working with metal powders, there is a range of standards including staff care, handling and storage of materials, housekeeping requirements, audits and documentation. All companies operating AM systems should carry out risk assessments and develop an understanding of the regulatory framework and their health and safety obligations. At SLM Solutions, we have immense experience in metal AM and have developed a deep understanding of the risks of metal powders and the laser powder bed fusion process (LPBF). We have designed our systems to overcome these risks and protect users and operating companies.
Depowdering Partner: Solukon
The post-processing of components in the Additive Manufacturing process is a significant step. Due to complex geometric shapes and, for example, internal cooling channels or internal structures, depowdering can become complicated and time-consuming. Solukon, our preferred supplier of powder removal and processing systems tackles these issues with its unique SPR® technology (Smart Powder Recuperation). Their depowdering systems remove loose powder from metal laser melted parts within a sealed process chamber, using adjustable vibration and automated two-axis part rotation while recovering superfluous powder.

Yousuf Karsh is the most renowned portrait photographer of our time. He has perceptively photographed the statesmen, artists, and literary and scientific figures that have shaped our lives in the 20th century. Known for his ability to transform "the human face into legend," many of the portraits that he created have become virtually the image of the great man or woman they portray, whether Winston Churchill, Ernest Hemingway, Albert Einstein, Georgia O'Keefe or Helen Keller.
In other words, "to experience a Karsh photograph is to feel in the presence of history itself." His photographs are in major private and public collections throughout the world, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston holding the largest collection in the US.
Yousuf Karsh,was an Armenian-Canadian photographer and one of the most famous and accomplished portrait photographers of all time. ousuf or Josuf (his given Armenian name was Hovsep) Karsh was born in Mardin, a city in the eastern Ottoman Empire (present Turkey). He grew up during the Armenian Genocide where he wrote, "I saw relatives massacred; my sister died of starvation as we were driven from village to village." At the age of 16, his parents sent Yousuf to live with his uncle George Nakash, a photographer in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada. Karsh briefly attended school there and assisted in his uncle's studio. Nakash saw great potential in his nephew and in 1928 arranged for Karsh to apprentice with portrait photographer John Garo in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. His brother, Malak Karsh, was also a photographer famous for the image of logs floating down the river on the Canadian one dollar bill. Karsh returned to Canada four years later, eager to make his mark.
In 1931 he started working with another photographer, John Powls, in his studio on the second floor of the Hardy Arcade at 130 Sparks Street in Ottawa, Ontario, close to Parliament Hill. When Powls retired in 1933, Karsh took over the studio. Karsh's first solo exhibition was in 1936 in the Drawing Room of the Château Laurier hotel. He moved his studio into the hotel in 1973, and it remained there until he retired in 1992. Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King discovered Karsh and arranged introductions with visiting dignitaries for portrait sittings. Karsh's work attracted the attention of varied celebrities, but his place in history was sealed on 30 December 1941 when he photographed Winston Churchill, after Churchill gave a speech to Canadian House of Commons in Ottawa. The image of Churchill brought Karsh international prominence, and is claimed to be the most reproduced photographic portrait in history. In 1967, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada and in 1990 was promoted to Companion. Of the 100 most notable people of the century, named by the International Who's Who , Karsh had photographed 51. Karsh was also the only Canadian to make the list.
In the late 1990s Karsh moved to Boston and on July 13, 2002, aged 93, he died at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital after complications following surgery. He was interred in Notre Dame Cemetery in Ottawa.
Works: Karsh was a master of studio lights. One of Karsh's distinctive practices was lighting the subject's hands separately. He photographed many of the great and celebrated personalities of his generation. Throughout most of his career he used the 8×10 bellows Calumet (1997.0319) camera, made circa 1940 in Chicago. Journalist George Perry wrote in the British paper The Sunday Times that "when the famous start thinking of immortality, they call for Karsh of Ottawa." Karsh had a gift for capturing the essence of his subject in the instant of his portrait. As Karsh wrote of his own work in Karsh Portfolio in 1967, "Within every man and woman a secret is hidden, and as a photographer it is my task to reveal it if I can. The revelation, if it comes at all, will come in a small fraction of a second with an unconscious gesture, a gleam of the eye, a brief lifting of the mask that all humans wear to conceal their innermost selves from the world. In that fleeting interval of opportunity the photographer must act or lose his prize." Karsh said "My chief joy is to photograph the great in heart, in mind, and in spirit, whether they be famous or humble."
His work is in permanent collections of the National Gallery of Canada, New York's Museum of Modern Art and Metropolitan Museum of Art, George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film, Bibliotheque nationale de France, the National Portrait Gallery in London, the National Portrait Gallery of Australia and many others. Library and Archives Canada holds his complete collection, including negatives, prints and documents. His photographic equipment was donated to the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa. Karsh published 15 books of his photographs, which include brief descriptions of the sessions, during which he would ask questions and talk with his subjects to relax them as he composed the portrait. Some famous subjects photographed by Karsh were Field Marshal Lord Alanbrooke, Muhammad Ali, Marian Anderson, W. H. Auden, Joan Baez, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Humphrey Bogart, Alexander Calder, Pablo Casals, Fidel Castro, Madame Chiang Kai-Shek, Joan Crawford, Ruth Draper, Albert Einstein, Dwight Eisenhower, Princess Elizabeth, Robert Frost, Clark Gable, Indira Gandhi, Grey Owl, Ernest Hemingway, Audrey Hepburn, Pope John Paul II, Chuck Jones, Carl Jung, Helen Keller and Polly Thompson, Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy, John F. Kennedy, Peter Lorre, Pandit Nehru, Georgia O'Keeffe, Laurence Olivier, General Pershing, Pablo Picasso, Pope Pius XII, Prince Rainier of Monaco, Paul Robeson, the rock band Rush, Albert Schweitzer, George Bernard Shaw, Jean Sibelius, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Andy Warhol, Frank Lloyd Wright, and, arguably his most famous portrait subject, Winston Churchill.
The story is often told of how Karsh created his famous portrait of Churchill during the early years of World War II. Churchill, the British prime minister, had just addressed the Canadian Parliament and Karsh was there to record one of the century's great leaders. "He was in no mood for portraiture and two minutes were all that he would allow me as he passed from the House of Commons chamber to an anteroom," Karsh wrote in Faces of Our Time. "Two niggardly minutes in which I must try to put on film a man who had already written or inspired a library of books, baffled all his biographers, filled the world with his fame, and me, on this occasion, with dread." Churchill marched into the room scowling, "regarding my camera as he might regard the German enemy." His expression suited Karsh perfectly, but the cigar stuck between his teeth seemed incompatible with such a solemn and formal occasion. "Instinctively, I removed the cigar. At this the Churchillian scowl deepened, the head was thrust forward belligerently, and the hand placed on the hip in an attitude of anger." The image captured Churchill and the Britain of the time perfectly — defiant and unconquerable. Churchill later said to him, "You can even make a roaring lion stand still to be photographed." As such, Karsh titled the photograph, The Roaring Lion. However, Karsh's favourite photograph was the one taken immediately after this one where Churchill's mood had lightened considerably and is shown much in the same pose, but smiling.

Stephanie is a painter and printmaker who lives along the California coast. Her artwork pays homage to the diversity and fascinating design of plants and birds. It is especially fitting to display Stephanie's artwork here in the Committee gallery—she worked here as an intern with David & Sally Gaines in 1979.
Stephanie's unique art incorporates etching, a form of intaglio printmaking. First she sketches her subject, usually birds and nests at natural history museums (or sometimes at the Committee's bookstore), and then she captures the image on a copper plate which is then used as a matrix for painting. She coats the plate with an acid-resistant ground, scribes through the coating to expose the metal, and submerges the plate in acid. This creates grooves that hold ink and print as lines. After the line work has been established, textural areas are created on the plate to produce tones in a method called aquatint. Because each piece is inked by hand, there are slight variations, making each intaglio print of hers an original piece of art.
We hope to see you in the gallery at the Mono Lake Committee Information Center & Bookstore where Stephanie's beautiful paintings will be up until the end of July. Make sure to mark your calendars for an evening reception we'll be holding for Stephanie and her show on Saturday, July 27th from 5:00 to 7:00pm.

I just finished reading The Ideal Team Player by Patrick Lencioni. He was one of the speakers at the Global Leadership Summit 2016 organized by Willow Creek Association (for more information about the annual Global Leadership Summit, click here). Lencioni is founder of The Table Group, a consulting firm that specializes in leadership, teamwork, and organizational health.
As I was reading the book, I was thinking about how the Church needs ideal team players. As the Body of Christ, the Church is made up of many different parts that work together (1 Corinthians 12:12-26). If those parts don't work together as a team, the Body starts to malfunction and becomes an ineffective witness to Christ's saving power.
In his book, Lencioni says the ideal team player is humble, hungry, and smart. Most people have varying degrees of these traits but the ideal team player is strong in all three areas. Lencioni says these traits can be learned with a little effort and consistent practice.
Humble people are quick to share credit with other people on their team. They are not concerned about status or ego. In their eyes, success comes as a result of working together rather than from individual contributions alone.
Hungry people are internally motivated, always looking for more to do and learn. They don't need to be constantly prodded to produce results. They're always on the lookout for the next task or opportunity.
Smart people have good people skills. They're empathetic and know how to interact effectively with others. They are careful not to say or do anything that could negatively impact the team.
In the Gospels, we see plenty of evidence for Jesus' people smarts. He showed an uncanny ability to get straight to the heart of a person. Jesus' interactions with the Samaritan woman shows how quickly Jesus is able to steer a conversation to the place of a person's greatest need (John 4:1-42). The rich man went away disappointed when Jesus told him to sell all of his possessions and give the proceeds to the poor; Jesus quickly discerned that this man's problem was not obedience to the Law but his love of wealth and possessions (Matthew 19:16-22 // Mark 10:17-22 // Luke 18:18-23). Jesus showed a great understanding of human nature when he defused a bloodthirsty crowd by asking that the person who had never sinned cast the first stone at the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1-11). In doing so, he also avoided a trap the religious leaders were trying to set for him and showed empathy and mercy to the woman.
Jesus was hungry to fulfill the mission that God the Father had sent him to complete. Even though the mission of bringing salvation to the world meant that he would have to die on a cross, Jesus willingly and consistently moved toward that goal. Jesus said, "My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work" (John 4:34). Just like his Father, Jesus was always working (John 5:17) — always at the Father's direction (John 10:32).
Over the past twenty years, it has become clear to me that humility, hunger, and people smarts have relevance outside of the workplace. A humble, hungry, and smart spouse, parent, friend, or neighbor is going to be a more effective, inspiring, and attractive person — one that draws others to them and serves others better.
But I must admit that apart from the other two virtues, humility stands alone. It is, indeed, the greatest of all virtues and the antithesis of pride, which is the root of all sin, according to the Bible. The most compelling example of humility in the history of mankind can be found in Christ, who humbled himself to share in our humanity. He attracted people of all kinds when he walked the earth, and continues to do so today, providing an example of humility that is as powerful as it is countercultural.
And so, it is my hope that readers of this book will take something else away with them and apply it in their lives: an appreciation for the true gift that it is to be humble and the divine origins of that virtue.
If it is true that humble, hungry, and smart people are more effective, inspiring, and attractive, these are virtues that believers should cultivate — not to bring glory to themselves but to our Lord, the perfect embodiment of these virtues. Which characteristic(s) do you need to work on? How will you use your teamwork skills work effectively within the Church to bring glory to God?

Targeted therapeutics have made significant impacts in cancer treatment, resulting in increased efficacy and reduced toxicity. However, many patients with ovarian, triple-negative breast, pancreatic, or lung cancer do not yet have reliable targeted therapeutic options. Mesothelin (MSLN), a cell surface protein with limited expression in healthy tissues, is frequently overexpressed on the surface of these tumor cells, and correlates with poor prognosis. Furthermore, the interaction of MSLN with tumor cell surface biomarker MUC16 leads to increased tumor invasiveness and metastasis. Blocking this interaction would have a direct therapeutic effect.
MSLN has broad potential as a novel tumor target for diagnosis and therapy, yet no MSLN-targeted molecules are currently FDA approved. Thus, there is a critical need for MSLN-targeted therapeutics and for molecular diagnostics that can identify patients who are most likely to respond to such therapies. This project proposes to engineer stable MSLN targeting agents using the fibronectin non-antibody protein scaffold, for use as both a targeted therapeutic and molecular diagnostic. Targeting agents that can serve as both therapeutics and diagnostics have the potential to identify the specific patient population most likely to respond to the partner therapeutic. To develop candidate theranostics, we used directed evolution and yeast surface display to engineer high affinity MSLN-binding proteins based on the fibronectin protein scaffold. We will engineer proteins specifically to block the binding interaction of MSLN and MUC16. A broad outcome of our proposed work is to validate the fibronectin protein scaffold for development of therapeutic/diagnostics, with implications for developing theranostics for other tumor biomarkers.

CWRU Dance Department Presents Converging Pathways
Elaina Lin, Theatre and Dance Reporter
The blue glow brightens in the background whilst the dancers hold their poses, creating an aesthetically pleasing silhouette. The Spring Master of Fine Arts thesis concert, Converging Pathways, was presented last week at the Mather Dance Center. The dance thesis concert featured works choreographed by Carissa Bellando and Chun-Jou Tsai, MFA candidates, Karen Potter, as well as group works and solos performed by both graduate and undergraduate dance students.
Outside the Mather Dance Studio, crowds of excited family members, friends, and fans gather in simultaneous chatter, eager to slip along with the spirit and energy of the dancers.
In the first piece Sea Swept, choreographed by Bellando, the dancers' costumes had thin blue sleeves to the side, drawing a beautiful imagery of the tranquil sea. The slow and suggestive movements illustrated states of motion and energy. The dancers formed a line and did a canon, with successive movements following one another, portraying waves in motion.
Following Sea Swept, the light gradually shines onto Chun-Jou Tsai, choreographer and dancer of the piece, who holds her pose in a picturesque manner in Soliloquize. The breath-taking moment captivated audience members.
From a behind the scenes point of view, Tsai explains, "The most difficult part of being a choreographer is to select the exact one thought and idea I want to make from thousands of ideas. It's not as easy as paperwork."
After a warm round of applause, Carissa Bellando holds the spotlight in her enchanting red dress and graceful posture in Rivela. As Bellando took on the role of a woman undergoing stages of acceptance, her effortless movements took the audience along with her journey.
They then transitioned to the next work from Dance Department chair Karen Potter, Plain of Passage. It featured both Bellando and Tsai, making it a very promising performance with a blend of their skills and talents. The dancers interacted with the movements of the other, revealing the close friendship they have. Mirroring one another, it conveyed the idea of reflection and connection, but in the end, with a final glance, they drifted apart from one another, stepping off in opposite directions.
The last piece, Time River, by Chun-Jou Tsai, had bright, colorful, costumes that were suggestive of casual style. The vivid colors flowed across the stage, like the streaming river.
With the ponderous rhythmic walking and the sliding movements along the floor, it conveyed a theme of time where people are passing in and out throughout moments in life.
"To make my dance moveable and touchable through the body language with the dance material is what I keep working on. With the audience, lighting and music on, my dance becomes alive," said Tsai.
As the light dims with the closing of the final piece, cheers and whistles spread throughout the room, adding to the vibrancy of the dancer's performance.

Devil Ducks Redux
Phylis Dryden
Published as "Devil of a problem with plastic ducks" A Guest Opinion Essay, in The Lebanon Daily News, Wednesday, May 16, 2012, p. 7A, by Phylis Dryden
If the road to you-know-where is paved with good intentions, then I better start looking for an asbestos-lined burial suit and some marshmallows. With the best of intentions, I took part in an April environmental event which didn't work out as planned.
On April 6, at the corner of 25th and Cumberland Streets, I participated in a "Drains to Streams" event. The event was organized by County Commissioner Jo Ellen Litz and featured the release of 13 small red plastic ducks (nicknamed "devil ducks") into a storm drain.
"Drains to Streams" was supposed to illustrate how unwanted debris and pollutants can enter our streams through storm drains, ultimately making their way to major rivers. Litz got the idea from Joanne Throwe, a stormwater expert. The concept is illustrated by a YouTube video called "Think Blue Maine (Devil Ducks)."
Litz contacted several municipalities, announcing her intent to release some "red devil ducks" into the North Lebanon storm drain. Litz also proposed an educational YouTube video "of the ducks being washed into the storm drain, then stories about the recovered ducks," of which she predicted, "Some will be picked up along the Quittie, but I bet you we may find some ducks along the Swatara."
On April 6, Speedwell Fire Company provided a stream of water which flowed down 25th Street toward the storm drain. Not even this worked out exactly as planned, however. Since it was a dry, sunny morning, our first try didn't produce enough water for the devil ducks to float convincingly towards the drain. So we did it again. 13 ducks finally went down the drain.
The text of Litz's YouTube video, "Red Devil Ducks," states, "Pollutants can wash off of our lawns, farms, and parking lots. Much like a dye tracer, these little Devil Ducks can represent that pollution--too many chemicals on your lawn, cigarette butts, bottles, cans, oil, antifreeze, or other pollutants."
However, another hitch in this noble experiment had developed. The devil ducks were not dye tracers: technically, they were trash. Their release into the storm drain, then into the Quittie, was littering, plain and simple.
Telling me, "I don't want to be accused of littering," Jo Ellen Litz tried to retrieve the ducks as soon as possible. But she soon came upon another flaw in her plan. Although the text of Litz's YouTube video says the ducks would "travel through an underground pipe, and end up in a nearby stream," this wasn't what happened.
I was with Litz when she located the storm sewer pipe (roughly behind Harold's Office furniture store) where--according to drawings I have since inspected--the ducks would most logically have exited. This particular storm sewer pipe crosses Rte. 422, then makes a zig-zag under a parking lot, finally arriving at the Quittie. The pipe, however, has a large, heavy rubber vertical flap which opens only under extreme water pressure conditions. Engineers have since told me it would take a storm of the magnitude of Lee to open it up.
When Litz and I found the flap and attempted to pry it open to retrieve the ducks, the flap was full of dried leaves, with not a drop of water from the attempted duck release. I personally removed quite a few of those dried leaves. Several weeks later, I revisited the site after a heavy rain. The inside of the flap was still dry as a bone.
My guess is that those ducks are trapped somewhere within the storm sewer pipe, perhaps at a corner where they must zig-zag through in order to reach the Quittie.
To illustrate her video, Litz ventured further upstream, locating a large metal storm sewer pipe behind Truck Village. She simulated three ducks floating in the Quittie, one of which was clearly tossed directly into the stream during filming. All three were retrieved, leaving 13 "still on the loose."
Downstream from these two storm sewer outlets, as Litz has noted, "Since Tropical Storm Lee, tree strainers line smaller creeks where trash can collect."
"Collect" is far too mild a word. The accumulated trash is nearly damming up the stream in one area which has previously been cleaned up by Youth Advocate community service teams and others. Even if the devil ducks ever exited the storm sewer, I doubt very much if they would make it through this mess.
Venturing downstream, I lingered on the banks of the Quittie that April day, enjoying its loveliness and the peaceful sound of water flowing along. Having seen the potential beauty of that stream up close, as well as the damage to it, I plan to participate in any and all cleanup efforts that come my way; I urge others to do the same.
In retrospect, the concept of releasing those ducks into the storm drain was a noble one, but obviously it failed in execution. Even with the help of the Speedwell Fire Company, there was not nearly enough water to propel the ducks out of the storm drain and into the Quittie.
Had it worked, we would have been right there at the mouth of the storm sewer pipe, ready to swoop up the devil ducks and photograph their retrieval.
In a way, I hope the ducks will eventually be recovered, but since it would take another Lee for that to happen, I'd rather they stay where they are. Wherever those ducks are, I now regret what I did. With the best of intentions, I inadvertently contributed to the littering of a beautiful stream, which is already congested with far too much trash.

Skincare Central | Trials & Favourites | emma etc.
Or should I say the really good products from the not so great, not worth your time products. I'm sure that's a saying that's going to catch on soon.. Anyway. I've been trialling out a fair bit of skincare recently, so I thought I'd do a round-up post and tell you what I've been slapping on my face recently. There are a couple things in here I've been trying out for quite some time, others I haven't tried quite so much. But nevertheless... hopefully you'll takeaway something from this post.
This is a product that has been featured on here one or two times and it's one that I love. I'm mentioning it now because it's almost empty (how?) and I'm regretfully I'm going to have to buy another bottle. I saw regretfully because I like my money to actually stay in my bank account, but I do think this is worth its price for its toning, smoothing and brightening effects it seems to have on my complexion. This doesn't leave an oily feeling on the skin, rather it's a gel like texture, which sinks into the skin and is a perfect base for moisturiser.
It sort of makes my eyes water at how expensive this little pot of eye cream is... but sadly I do really like this product. I find it's the perfect consistency - not too rich and not too thin and lightweight to nicely moisturise and nourish the under eye area. I hadn't used an eye cream before trying this one out but I'm not sure if I can go back now. I think the Clinique eye creams are genuinely fab, so if you're on the lookout for a new one, maybe this could work. I don't use eye creams for wrinkles or anything like that (I don't care, haha) but I think the extra bit of moisture helps make-up go on nicer.
This is a new range of New Zealand made skin care specifically targeted at teens, which I think is quite a nice idea. I believe their range is focused on everything natural, and you can really tell that it is by the smell, for starters. This moisturiser smells like lemon and ginger when first applied, which is really strong but quite nice, but when rubbed into the skin it kind of smells like grass which is slightly off putting. I think the moisturiser itself is quite nice though - it's very lightweight but takes a little while to sink into the skin. My skin feels very soft afterwards and I will genuinely continue to use this. Lightweight moisturisers with more natural ingredients is what I've found my skin enjoys. Does anyone agree that it's really hard to find the perfect moisturiser, though?
This is a product I've only tried a couple of times. Apparently this product is for 25+ so on hindsight this probably isn't the serum for me. This is a very lightweight, liquidy, gel-like serum that sinks into the skin quite fast. It did make my skin feel quite smooth afterwards but nothing amazing happened for me to warrant continue using this.
Apparently this 'releases intense moisture as you sleep' but I wouldn't go that far. This is another quite light moisturiser that is more suited to night time use. After using this quite a few times, this Neutrogena moisturiser does make my skin feel supple and refreshed after use. It isn't an intensely rich night cream, which is probably quite good, because rich moisturisers tend to clog my pores. I haven't had any kind of reaction or break-out to this so far so I will probably continue using this every few nights.
Question time! Do you use the same skin care products over and over or do you like to try new things? I'm a little hesitant to try loads of new products in case my skin freaks out..
I'm terrible at not sticking to a skincare routine, because I love trying new things! That Neutrogena moisturiser is great, I love the whole Hydro Boost range.
Great round up! The Clinique Eye Cream sounds lovely. I had the same skincare routine for over a year and for some odd reason, it stopped working for me out of the blue. Right now, I'm trialling some new products to find something that'll work for me.
That Clinique cream seems gorgeous, definitely sounds like it's worth the price! It's always nice to invest in good quality skincare :) I like the idea of the Tier for Teens line too!

I have never made or published a game, and don't think that matters in regards to this conversation.
There's not really examples of games that do what Metroid Dread is trying to do on the Switch that look much better, despite all the talk of "competition". The closest is probably Ori, and I've already touched on how that game sort of performs what it does, as well as technical hiccups I've run into while playing Ori you definitely wouldn't want to feel with an E.M.M.I. chasing you down.
This looks like an upscaled Metroid: Samus Returns, a $40 3DS game.
Just from what they've shown, its hard to warrant a $60 price tag for this
I'm not so sure. On top of the basic Metroidvania type game formula we're used to seeing, they've clearly put more budget into the presentation, which becomes apparent during more action focused parts of the game. When Samus gets caught by an E.M.M.I., is charging her powered up charge beam, or is performing special attacks against bosses, the perspective will shift to something akin to a cutscene, except seemingly running in-game, with much more detailed visuals. This is something games like Ori lack entirely, on top of the other reasons I've previously presented for why Ori on Switch definitely is not the shining example people seem to think it is. I could honestly go off on an entire rant about how unpolished that game seems on multiple fronts, given I happen to be playing it currently.
this is an iconic Nintendo franchise they've sat on for 15+ years
they feel they can launch it however they please and people should just accept it
Again, its just a value proposition issue for me, it can be great and I hope it does, but I feel it has a lot to do to warrant the asking price.

I slept really late on Friday night (or you can count it as Saturday morning already) and woke up with the worst panda eyes ever and i have these stinging sensation in my eyes due to lack of sleep.
Gala night last nite was ok I guess..
Not really in the mood but heck if I don't post today I think I won't blog about this at all.
The food was alright I guess. I am not a big fan for rice and lauk pauk so macam takde perasaan sgt..
My gegerlz all looked so gorgeous last night 😘 every single one of them ☺ and I have experienced the hassle of girls getting ready..baju ketat la..tak muat la..zip sampai kena tahan nafas la..sampai tak leh tunduk la..lawaks!
As much as I love collecting shoes, it also create clutters especially if you are like me and like to keep shoes in the car. I could always dump everything in a big box but it would make my shoes out of shape over time.
