If ranchers are selling cattle for $2 a pound, and grocery stores sell it for $8 a pound, an obvious way for ranchers to make more money seems to be to cut out the middle man and market the beef himself. That solution isn't as simple as it sounds, but new legislation might make it a little easier.
Current federal law says "custom exempt" meat-packing houses can only provide the service of processing meat. These smaller plants that do not have a federal meat inspector on-site at all times are prohibited from selling meat, and the meat they process can be consumed only by the owner of the animal, their immediate family or non-paying guests, according to the Minnesota Department of Agriculture website. That rules out selling the meat to restaurants, farmers' markets or privately by either the plant or the owner of the animal.
H.R. 3187, sponsored by congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY), and congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-ME) is designed to take the oversight authority of custom exempt plants away from the federal government and place it in the states' hands. Also known as the PRIME act, the legislation would amend federal law to allow each state to determine what rules the custom exempt plants in their states should follow, and whether or not they could be approved for processing meat destined for retail.
"As a producer of grass-fed beef, I am familiar with the difficulties small producers face when marketing directly to consumers," said Rep. Massie, in a news release. Massie owns 50 head of cattle. "Despite consumers' desire to know where their food comes from, federal inspection requirements make it difficult for them to purchase food from local farmers they know and trust. These onerous federal rules also make it more difficult for small farms and ranches to succeed financially. It is time to open our markets to small farms and producers and give consumers the freedom to choose."
Pingree also raises cattle and she touts consumer demand for locally-raised and processed beef as a main reason for sponsoring the bill.
North Dakota's only congressman, Rep. Cramer has signed on to the PRIME legislation. Cramer said he supports the concept and the legislation. While Rep. Noem (R-SD) has not signed onto the bill, she is looking further into it, and Rep. Lummis (R-WY), continues to examine and carefully consider this legislation, according to a staffer. Other regional congressmen were unavailable for comment.
Ranchers and farmers who want to market their own home-raised beef might not mind the idea of using a federally-inspected plant to process their animals, but the relatively small number of processing plants that are federally inspected, and the even smaller number that are willing to work with small-scale producers can make it impractical.
In Wyoming, there is just one such plant. South Dakota has five or six. Nebraska has more than 20 but several are corporate-owned by JBS, Hormel, Tyson and the like. Such plants are not available for a small operator looking to market his or her own beef.
Mimi Sidwell, who operates JX Ranch Natural Beef along with her husband Tom, near Tucumcari, New Mexico, said they use two different packing plants. A local "custom" plant slaughters and packages the beef they sell "on the hoof," which amounts to about 40 head of steers for about 80 customers each fall, she said. That beef is already owned by the customer, who purchased a whole, half or quarter of beef before the slaughter occurs. The beef cannot be sold in a retail setting, but must go directly to the owner.
Additionally the Sidwells take cattle to a USDA–inspected plant about two and a half hours away, in Texas, for retail processing. This beef can be sold anywhere in the country because it is processed in a federally-inspected facility. Mimi said she maintains a large e-mail list of customers, who she alerts when she plans to travel to a nearby city. They can place an order for beef that she will then deliver to a central point.
Roger Hick, manager at the USDA-inspected Sturgis Meats, in Sturgis, South Dakota, said he favors state, rather than federal oversight in most all situations. He doesn't support this legislation as written, however, as he worries about the ability of some states to regulate their own industries. "There are very reputable meat processing plants out there. But not all of them."
His biggest focus is keeping his customers healthy and safe, Hick said. "In this industry food safety is number one."
Craig Erickson, part owner in Erickson's Meat Market, Bowman, North Dakota, said his custom exempt plant utilized federal inspectors at one time but the paperwork load became too expensive. Now his business is inspected about once every three months to maintain his license.
"Most of our business is the custom slaughtering," he said. He and his staff can slaughter about 20 beef per week now, whereas with the rules and papework required under the federal inspector, they could manage only eight or nine.
Local customers are able to purchase halves or quarters of beef from a local cattleman while it is still on the hoof, and have it processed at his plant, Erickson said, but he is not able to sell any beef unless he buys it already inspected, from IBP, for example.
"I like the idea of being able to sell local beef. People want local access and I'd like to be able to provide it, but I don't foresee it going back to where a custom exempt plant can sell meat piece by piece," Erickson said. "I can't badmouth the inspection. I think we need it. We've got a real clean place and we always keep up to par on it." While he said having an inspector "looking over his shoulder" can be an inconvenience, he also likes to have the third party to verify that he is not overlooking anything, sanitation-wise.
"I'd hate to just have some Joe Blow cutting meat and selling it from his garage," Erickson said.
Sidwell believes states should have oversight of their own meat plants. "I don't see anything wrong with it. Any time we can put more power in the hands of the states, and less in the hands of the feds, it is a good thing."
While she considers herself pretty lucky in that regard, Sidwell said some ranchers in her region marketing their own beef have to travel at least five hours to a federally-inspected meat plant.
Hick believes the massive amount of paperwork required is enough to discourage most smaller processing plants from seeking a federal inspector. "There is a ton more regulation that goes into being able to sell meat. They have to operate within a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point, or HACCP plan which basically makes you look at your system and find its shortcomings – generally at the packaging point, because that is the warmest point," he explained.
Hick said he had just spent four days writing the humane handling program plan for his company, which consists of about 18 pages. His plant, which serves as a regional office for the USDA FSIS inspectors houses three such regulators – one oversees the slaughter floor, one watches the processing and one is a regional director.
While some states, like South Dakota, maintain their own inspectors, some – like Kentucky – do not, Hick explained.
He has never worked at a larger processing plant, but Hick said he believes they are able to use better technology and implement more expensive but efficient processes. "They are like streamlined machines. The smaller plants don't have money or resources to have some of the more expensive equipment," he said.
While Hick doesn't see the PRIME act as a threat, he also doesn't believe a lot of "custom exempt" plants will end up selling beef, and he said uninspected plants would have the unfair advantage of little to no paperwork being required.
"I think if they are going to process meat they need to follow the rules," he said.
The legislation could end up threatening public safety, Hick believes, because while states enforce adequate state inspection and would conscientiously enforce strict safety regulations, some may not. "There are too many operators out here that might take advantage of the situation. But this is a self-regulating industry where your customers don't return if you sell a poor product."

Why I bought an NFT
I have this delightful piece from an artist named Curt Frankenstein.
He creates, among other things, artwork with birds and animals in whimsical anthropomorphic settings. This specific piece, pictured above, is a signed print showing owls in an amusingly wonderful professional setting and is titled "Corporate Image: The Board of Directors".
My ex-wife and estate sale extraordinaire Shannon sourced two of Frankenstein's works at different sales in the Metro Detroit area. When we separated I kept the one you see above.
Now, what if I decided to sell this piece one day, and what if the piece has appreciated in value? As it stands today, the only person that would stand to gain from this is me. Neither the artist (or his estate) or Shannon stand to gain from this. That result doesn't seem equitable.
Enter NFTs.
About a month ago I bought my first NFT. Most people were confused about this decision and the NFT space in general. So I thought I'd take the time to share my perspective on why on earth I bought an NFT and what my emerging opinions are on this space.
This is not an explainer on what NFTs are — there are a host of places on the internet where you can easily find in-depth explanations. I will share a couple of brief definitions though.
Blockchain — Very simply, a blockchain is a digital record of transactions, a lot like a ledger. Individual records, also called blocks, are linked together to form a chain. Bitcoin and Ethereum are two examples of these. Bitcoin is strongly making its case as digital gold. Ethereum, perhaps even more interesting, is a decentralized application platform enabling a worldwide computer of sorts and programmable financial applications.
NFT — This stands for non-fungible token. Each token represents an object or a unit of data on a blockchain. Unlike a currency like bitcoin, where one bitcoin is replaceable with another one, an NFT is non-interchangeable or non-fungible, hence the term. Each NFT is intended to act as a digital certificate of ownership for an asset, typically a digital asset. They have become especially popular over the past few months for representing digital art but could represent other things like songs, blog posts, books, objects in video games, or perhaps even a deed to a piece of physical property.
An underlying concept that makes NFTs work is that of smart contracts. Similar to an actual legal contract a smart contract has lines in it, lines of code that allow NFTs to do what they do.
Automated, permission-less, equitable distribution of profits from a sale are one possible example of what a smart contract could do.
Now back to our scheduled programming.
So, let's say I decide, for some strange reason, to sell the beautiful Curt Frankenstein piece, and ended up making a healthy gain. What if there were an NFT associated with this piece of art? What NFTs and their underlying smart contracts could allow me to do, is enable mechanisms that in a permission-less manner split any gains from this resale between the participants in this value chain.
You might be able to do this today through a complicated web of legal agreements enforced by the artist's estate and the subsequent owners of the piece. But it's not hard to see how, especially for less well-known artists and small sums of money, this is an absolutely untenable proposition with the legal fees likely being an order of magnitude more than the art itself.
If out of the goodness of my heart, I wanted to compensate others in this value chain I'd have to (1) find the artist's estate to give them a share of the proceeds and (2) do the same with Shannon and (3) potentially all other owners along the way if I wanted to truly reward everyone responsible for me gaining this value.
The first would be hard, the second easier because I know how to find Shannon but at the very least an inconvenience due to the manual nature of the transaction, and the third, well impossible given that there isn't a record of all previous owners.
Perhaps rewarding every person in the value chain seems a little over the top but if you think about it a little more it adds a degree of equity that makes sense. I wouldn't have known about this artist if Shannon had not found this piece and she wouldn't have known about it if the specific estate in Detroit didn't procure and then sell it as part of their estate sale.
NFTs could solve this problem. The blockchain, as I noted above, by definition, is a ledger that stores a history of all such transactions. You could see when this piece of art was created by the artist and every subsequent transaction or exchange involving it. The artist or anyone participating doesn't have to exert any additional effort, hire attorneys, or interact with each other (unless they want to).
Smart contracts can also allow mechanisms where each member of the value chain sees a benefit if the price of the artwork appreciates over time. Some of what I am describing is still in their experimental stages but many aspects, including royalties to artists when a piece is re-sold, are already working at scale today in an automated, permission-less manner.
This brings us to the NFT I bought recently. It was created by a London-based designer named Tim West. He will likely gain a share of the proceeds if I sell this NFT for a profit at some point. The exact percentage is encoded into the smart contract and there is nothing either he nor I will need to do to enforce this. We'll just see the digital currency in our wallets one day, no interaction or permission needed.
Back to Curt Frankenstein and the Corporate Image.
Let's assume in my specific instance there were two past owners (O1 and O2) before Shannon (S) found the piece. Let's also that I sold this artwork with a gain of $1000.
The way it could work in theory is that the smart contract would encode that for each such sale 10% of the gain would make its way to the artist or their estate (CF), 1% to every prior owner and 8% to the last owner, since for me specifically, that last person was especially important in seeing the value I'm gaining. (I'm making these particular numbers and rules up but the point is that the smart contract would allow for some similar split.)
So in this instance, where the total gain from the re-sale was $1000, the artist would get $100, the prior owners $10 each, and Shannon $80. All of this would occur in an automated fashion without any of us needing to do anything or even know each other.
These numbers, over time, will add up, both for artists and creators but also for art collectors who own work for a period of time and then want to explore other work to free up their digital or physical wall space.
Hypothetical flow of gains from the re-sale into each digital wallet
Think of it as an automated, permission-less mechanism for royalties and a digital finder's fee that no one has to work to enforce.
The consequences of this are non-trivial in terms of intellectual property, provenance, and of course compensation.
"The next big thing will start out looking like a toy."
— Chris Dixon
The quote above is from an essay written in 2010 by Chris Dixon that I keep coming back to and is a key premise for NFTs today. They feel like toys today but have a lot of promise that is only beginning to emerge.
Everything I've talked about here is in the context of a piece of art, but the same premise could perhaps work around others assets like property. As a piece of property appreciates over time the original owner who sold the property back in 2007 could continue to see a portion of the gains from a sale and a hot property market in 2021.
I recognize this is not an all-encompassing view and I've got slightly rose-tinted glasses on. I'm assuming appreciation here and no depreciation. There are many other considerations to explore including transaction (or "gas") fees and environmental impacts today that need to be seriously considered.
I bought this trippy blockchain themed NFT created by Tim West because I loved it as a piece of art. It reminded me of the first simple animation I created when I was a computer science major — a 90s Windows screensaver like scene with a ball bouncing off different corners of the screen.
The elements of the beginning of a discovery, nostalgia, and aesthetic attractiveness were large factors in me wanting to own this. But I also bought it because I feel that while it's still early the mechanism of the NFT certainly has a lot of promise.

Forklift ran over, killed worker; can driver get comp for PTSD?
It was described by an eyewitness as a "gruesome scene." A worker's leg became wrapped around a forklift's axle after she was struck by it. Did the forklift driver get workers' comp benefits for psychological injuries?
Samuel Paul Jackson worked for Ceres Marine Terminals in Virginia as a longshoreman.
On March 28, 2011, Jackson was operating a forklift when he struck Paula Belamy, a co-worker, causing injuries that resulted in her death.
Jackson didn't realize at first that he had struck Belamy, but another worker quickly flagged him down. Belamy's leg was wrapped around the rear axle. Other workers untangled her legs and dragged her from underneath the forklift.
A company superintendent said Belamy was still alive and communicative.
Jackson said Belamy was "pretty mangled – her arm was mangled, you could pretty much see the bone in her arm and her wrist and hand were twisted around backwards." He watched the rescue efforts of police and the fire department.
The day after, Jackson visited his primary care physician. A week later he saw a social worker who recommended he not return to work for four to six weeks.
A psychologist first saw Jackson three months after the incident and diagnosed him with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
A psychiatrist prescribed medication for Jackson. A second psychiatrist confirmed the PTSD diagnosis and said it was related to the work incident.
However, a third psychiatrist concluded Jackson didn't suffer from PTSD because "he did not experience a threat to himself."
Jackson filed a workers' comp claim for medical benefits, lost wages and permanent disability. Ceres contested the claim, saying that Jackson:
violated a known safety rule
rejected a panel of physicians, and
didn't suffer a compensable injury.
A deputy commissioner found Jackson's injury wasn't compensable because he wasn't placed in imminent physical danger at the time of the incident. The Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission affirmed the ruling. Jackson took his case to a state appeals court.
Physical injury needed to quality for comp?
Before the appeals court, Jackson argued the commission erred by saying he didn't suffer a compensable psychological injury because he wasn't placed at risk of harm.
The appeals court noted that the Virginia Supreme Court had addressed the question of compensability of purely psychological injuries.
The state's high court had said, "In tort actions we have followed the common-law rule that there can be no recovery for mental anguish unaccompanied by physical injury. The rules of common law for tort actions, however, do not apply to cases under the Workmen's Compensation Act."
In Virginia workers' comp cases, a purely psychological injury such as PTSD must be related to a physical injury or to an obvious shock or fright arising in the course of employment.
There's no doubt seeing the mangled body of the co-worker he struck caused "shock or fright" for Jackson.
For those reasons, the state appeals court reversed the commission's ruling that had denied comp benefits for Jackson. His case will go back to the commission to determine the exact compensability for his PTSD.
At least 29 states award benefits for purely psychological injuries. Sixteen states require a connection between a worker's psychological condition and a physical injury before they will award benefits.
Should workers be able to collect comp benefits for PTSD in a case like this one? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

A family of four was on board a helicopter when it plummeted into Pearl Harbor leaving one critically injured.
The crash was caught on video by tourist Shawn Winrich who was taking pictures, but who switched to video as he saw the chopper descending rapidly, according to the Associated Press.
"All of a sudden it essentially just fell out of the sky and crash-landed in the water," he told the AP.
That's when he and other bystanders jumped in the water to try to help.
One of them, Daniel Rose, told ABC News that one person stayed under water for about three minutes.
According to the AP, a 16-year-old is in critical condition after good Samaritans had to cut him from his seat belt to pull him out.
Two other family members were in stable condition and another was treated and released.

The festival-turned-meme known as Fyre Festival still has a few piles of merch sitting around, and it was just confirmed from the United States Marshals Service that they'll be auctioning off this stuff and working to pay back some of the reported $26 million that got taken from folks that Billy MacFarland integrated with.
Granted, given the other deliverables we saw at the festival, it could just be a sweatshirt with a piece of bread with cheese on top. Read more at Vulture.
No dates have been announced yet for the auction and we'll post an update when we see what this stuff actually looks like. Billy MacFarland is now in jail. As you know now, Fyre Festival has become a sign of a cultural over-indulgence and a few documentaries were released detailing the story of the massive fraud that unfolded live over social media back in 2017.


13/11/18 – Thats it, the B4MS project is now connected to the World Wide Web. Zayo contractors with B4RN did the final cut and splice late Tuesday night. At 22:58 we went live to the fibre of the world.
Wow, what a learning experience it was. There was a chap 40 miles away looking down the fibre with high tech kit and the way they checked which fibres they needed was to give each a wiggle and pop a bend in them. Yes, miles and miles away and they can tell a fibre is being moved, bent and shaken about!!! You give a fibre a shake in one of the Zayo chambers without authorisation and I'm told alarm bells go off in multiple places triggering armed response by helicopter!!!
The Selside Head End (SEHE) serves over 500 properties and will link to the Grayrigg Head End (GRHE). The first lucky soles on Route 6 will go live on Tuesday all being well.
The B4RN team where at multiple locations on their network checking the connection to our cabinet through to 2am in the morning. Top effort team.
Well done all. What an achievement. Another B4RN baby is born. Welcome to our World.

Unaccustomed as We Are is a short comedy film produced by Hal Roach and directed by Lewis R. Foster. It was released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on May 4, 1929. This picture was the first "all-talking" Laurel and Hardy comedy. The working title was Their Last Word. The title was changed to Unaccustomed as We Are, a play on the familiar phrase "Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking..."

Story
Oliver Hardy brings his friend Stan Laurel home to dinner, as a surprise guest. Mrs. Hardy (Mae Busch) is sick and tired of cooking for her husband's lowlife pals and, after giving Mr. Hardy a piece of her mind, she walks out. Left to his own devices, Hardy resolves to cook the dinner himself. He pauses to assist a friendly neighbor (Thelma Todd), and when Laurel's blundering spoils the dinner plan, Todd volunteers to help. Unfortunately Laurel has unwittingly started a fire in the kitchen, and Todd's clothes are ruined. She can't return to her own apartment because her jealous husband, a policeman (Edgar Kennedy), has just arrived. Desperate, she hides inside a trunk in Hardy's living room. Suddenly Mrs. Hardy returns, contrite, but Hardy tries to get rid of the trunk by pretending to walk out himself. Officer Kennedy sends Mrs. Hardy out of the room and tries to settle matters peacefully -- until he finds out who's hiding in the trunk.

Production
The new talking-picture technology was so unfamiliar at the Roach studio that Unaccustomed as We Are became a training exercise for its technical staff. Four cameramen alternated on the photography. The film was also released in a silent version, to accommodate those theaters that had not yet converted to sound. Unaccustomed as We Are was an experiment in sound, and most of the action was driven by dialogue. The silent version had printed title cards displaying the dialogue whenever anyone spoke, resulting in a slow and sometimes tedious narrative. Later Laurel and Hardy hybrids, intended for both silent and sound markets, were careful to include pantomime and visual gags, so silent-film audiences could enjoy the action without hearing the dialogue.

Did you disable your firewalls? It is generally the reason why people cannot join the hosts around.
Would I have to disable windows firewall or just 3rd party ones?
All of them prob. If you know how to give privileges, that would also work.
Ok thanks, will give it a try later.
and Did anyone find a solution for my problem ?
I feel a necessary bump as I was making a thread, but didn't quite get to this part, but eh.

If Plastic Harmed Our Dogs Like it Does Marine Animals – Would We Stop Creating so Much Trash?
Let's be real for a minute. We think of different types of animals in very different ways. Yes, as animal lovers, we can say that we love all animals and would never wish them harm, but realistically, we don't know how many of our actions impact animals in the long-run. Take for example how our plastic waste can harm marine animals. After all, when you buy a plastic water bottle, chances are you aren't thinking about how it could potentially end up in the mouth of a baby seal one day … or how those tiny microbeads in your face wash could one day end up getting eaten by a sea turtle.
The fact is, we don't think about these things because we rarely get to see the impact that our daily habits have on animals that aren't right in front of our faces. If you knew that every time you used a plastic bag your dog would get harmed, you would probably drop that plastic like a bad habit!
But what if we told you that marine animals are really just like the puppies of the ocean? Would that change how you think about the amount of plastic trash you generate?
These images from Imgur user mhoa draws this connection perfectly.
Consider this, every year, we generate around 300 million tons of plastic a year – globally.
Of all that plastic, around 8.8 million tons ends up in the oceans.
Once in the water, plastic poses a direct threat to marine life.
In fact, some 700 marine species are in danger of extinction due to the threat plastic poses them.
So what if this were the case for our puppies? What if our plastic trash was harming them instead of these sea animals so far away in the ocean?
You'd probably think twice before grabbing that straw, huh?
So while no, our plastic trash doesn't currently pose an immediate threat to our dogs the same way it does to marine animals (although you should still be careful when you have plastic trash around your puppies), if we all stopped and changed our thinking for a second, we could make a HUGE positive change.
A stupid preaching to the choir from Mrs. Good. Does she really expect the jerks that don\'t care the plight of dogs caring about seals?

Is Hells Kitchen coming back in 2022?
Hells Kitchen is a popular reality cooking show that has aired for 16 seasons on Fox. The show is hosted by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, who puts aspiring chefs through a series of grueling cooking challenges until only one remains.
Ramsay announced in early 2019 that the show's 17th season would be its last. However, there is now speculation that the show may be returning in 2022.
Fox has not yet confirmed whether or not Hells Kitchen will be coming back, but Ramsay has hinted that he may be involved in a new version of the show.
Hells Kitchen is known for its intense competition and high stakes. The show's finale is usually a nail-biter, as the final two contestants battle it out to create the best three-course meal.
Fans of the show are eagerly awaiting news of a potential return in 2022. Hells Kitchen has been a ratings success for Fox, and it's likely that the network would want to bring it back for another season.
Ramsay is a notoriously tough judge, and his critiques can be brutal. But that's also part of what makes the show so entertaining.
Hells Kitchen is sure to generate a lot of buzz when it returns in 2022. If you're a fan of the show, be sure to stay tuned for more information.

Is Hells Kitchen young guns still on?
That is a question that is on many minds as the latest season of Hell's Kitchen comes to a close. The answer, unfortunately, is that it is unclear.
The original young guns of Hell's Kitchen, who were mentored by Gordon Ramsay, seemed to have a lot of promise. They were determined, hardworking, and passionate about cooking. However, it appears that not all of them have been able to live up to that potential.
For example, last year one of the young guns, Scott, was eliminated from the show in the early rounds. This year, another young gun, Michelle, was eliminated in the final rounds.
It is unclear what the future holds for the young guns of Hell's Kitchen. However, it is clear that they have a lot of talent and potential. They just need to find a way to tap into that potential and continue to improve their cooking skills.
Who Won Hell's Kitchen 2021 Young Guns?
On Monday, April 6th, Hell's Kitchen crowned their newest winners – the Young Guns. These were the four chefs who had shown the most promise and talent during the season, and they battled it out in a final cook-off to see who would take home the prize.
So who won? Let's take a look.
The first runner-up was Amanda Giblin, a 26-year-old from San Diego. She impressed the judges with her inventive dishes, and she was a strong leader in the kitchen.
The second runner-up was Tommy Di Fiore, a 26-year-old from New York City. He also had some inventive dishes, and he was known for his quick thinking and problem-solving skills.
In first place was 23-year-old Michelle Tribble from Houston. She was praised for her consistent excellence in the kitchen, and for her ability to stay calm under pressure.
And finally, in second place was 23-year-old Tyler Connell from Boston. He was known for his impressive knife skills, and for his passion for food.
So congratulations to all of the winners! It was a close competition, but in the end, these four chefs rose to the top.

Is Trenton Garvey working for Gordon Ramsay?
There has been much speculation on whether or not Trenton Garvey, the head of security for Ramsay's Steakhouse in Las Vegas, is actually working for the celebrity chef himself.
There are a few clues that seem to suggest that this might be the case. For one, Garvey has been seen wearing a Ramsay-branded apron in several photos online. He has also been known to frequently post about Ramsay on his social media accounts.
Additionally, Garvey has a lot of experience in the restaurant industry. He has worked as a security guard and manager for several different restaurants over the years. This includes a brief stint at Gordon Ramsay's Maze in London.
So is Trenton Garvey working for Gordon Ramsay?
There is no definitive answer to this question. However, the evidence does seem to suggest that there is a strong possibility that this is the case.
What channel is Hell's Kitchen on 2022?
Hells Kitchen is a reality cooking show that premiered in 2004. The show is hosted by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. The show is currently in its eighteenth season and will air its season finale on September 18, 2022.
The show is broadcast on Fox in the United States. The show is also broadcast on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom.
Did Hell's Kitchen get Cancelled?
Hell's Kitchen is an American competitive reality cooking television series based on the British series of the same name, broadcast on Fox. It is hosted by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. The show has run for seventeen seasons and has been renewed for an eighteenth.
However, there is some speculation that the show may be cancelled after its eighteenth season. This is based on the fact that Fox has not announced any renewals for the show, and that Ramsay is busy with other projects.
Fox has not made an official announcement on the show's future, so it is still possible that it will be renewed. However, if it is cancelled, it will be a loss for fans of reality TV cooking shows.

How did you end up in Afghanistan in the first place?
The simple answer is that Afghanistan is repeatedly ranked the worst place in the world to be a woman. When I decided that I needed to fight for women's rights and against gender violence, I looked at Afghanistan as a starting point. I was also really curious about the country as a whole. The history there is incredible. I wanted to understand systematic oppression and how an entire country comes to oppress women. That lead to the work I wanted to do there and also the work I wanted to do back in the US against gender violence.

What were you doing before you started working in Afghanistan?
Ironically I was a sports trainer. I'd worked in the Middle East and Europe and had recently moved back to the States. It was a complete 180 degree turn from sports trainer to activist and humanitarian.
What compelled you to buck the cultural norms and start riding your bike in Afghanistan?
I'd made three different visits at that point. I had been looking at situations for women in rural and urban areas. There's such diversity of women who are activists and politicians in urban areas and women who live in rural areas. But the one constant was women can't bike. There was a women's boxing team, Tae Kwan Do, girls are playing cricket, there's a girls soccer team. But I never saw girls riding no matter where I was, despite bikes being everywhere. Boys and men ride them everywhere as transportation. I also realized after the first three or four visits that as a foreign woman I was considered an honorary man. That meant that I was considered equal to men. I was allowed to get away with a lot more than perhaps an Afghan woman would. You're essentially this neutral gender.
As a mountain biker, there were several things that nudged me to ride. For one, the country is just incredibly beautiful and I wanted to explore it on two wheels. Also I could raise these questions around why girls can't ride bikes if I am riding a bike. I'd hoped curiosity would start these conversations and that's exactly what happened and why I continued to ride.
Every place that I ever rode a bike–and I rode my bike over a dozen or more trips in different areas of the country–the bike became this incredible ice breaker. It allowed me to have very organic conversations on the side of the road or off a goat path with Afghan men about the work I was doing, about sports, about whether or not women can ride in their community and why.
Tell me about your nonprofit Mountain2Mountain.
The mission of Mountain2Mountain is to empower women and girls in conflict zones. I started it right before I first went to Afghanistan in 2008. The initial projects were, I don't know if the right word is mainstream, but certainly more familiar. I helped facilitate building a school for the deaf. We worked in women's prisons, I started a computer lab at a girls school and supported a boys school. I started to realize I could best do the work I was doing if I connected it to my passions as both an artist and an athlete. I was fascinated by the artists, athlete, and activists in Afghanistan. The women in those worlds typically are more engaged. They're pushing boundaries. They have a voice. I wanted to look for ways I could encourage that and support them and also share those stories back home.
I started supporting graffiti projects by local Afghan artists. We created a life size street art exhibition with a group of photographers called Streets of Afghanistan. We set up pop-up street art installations in rural villages around Afghanistan. Then in the fall of 2012, I finally found women who were riding bikes as part of the Afghan National Cycling Team. Ever since then, the majority of my work has been supporting these girls, the coach, the burgeoning cycling federation and hoping that we can normalize biking for girls through the sport of cycling.

The bicycle literally is a symbol of freedom and a vehicle for independent mobility. In a country that is repeatedly ranked the worst place in the world to be a woman, there is very little freedom for women. When you look back at the US women's suffrage moment in the early 1900s, the bike was integrally tied in as a symbol of freedom and mobility. Bikes are incredible for getting boys and girls to a school that's too far to walk to, increasing access to medical care. If we could normalize bikes we could get midwives on bikes, which gives them greater capacity to serve their communities. I've seen in a lot of rural communities in places such as Cambodia and India, giving bikes to young women gives them a means to independent travel, which radically reduces instances of gender violence. The bike is just an incredible tool to empower women. In a country like Afghanistan where there are so few freedoms, the bike could radically turn things around.
How did people react when you did your 2010 fundraiser ride across the Panjshir Valley?
That ride was like all the other rides. The only difference was that I was trying to get from point A to point B over a much larger distance. I knew some locals in the area and it was relatively safe. Everywhere I've biked in Afghanistan, I've been met with curiosity. Almost to the extent of locals being flabbergasted. Men don't know what to say, but they're so intrigued that they just gravitate over and watch and ask questions. It becomes an incredible ice breaker for conversations. It has never been, that I know of based on reactions and conversations, viewed as offensive. The reaction the Afghan girls get is radically different. And that is a very important part of this. I can get away with some of these things and get curiosity and laughter and the men and boys ride my bike, Afghan soldiers ride my bike. It breaks a lot of those cultural barriers. But when the Afghan women ride bikes they have rocks thrown at them, they're insulted, their honor is questioned. It's a much more serious situation. I have a unique view to what they have to go through when I train and ride with the Afghan girls.
How did you get involved with the Afghan National Women's Team?
It started with just getting them bikes, helmets, equipment. They had rusted out wheels, heavy bikes that were much too big for them. The brakes didn't work on some, the derailleurs were rusted. Typical situation. We were able to work with Liv to get them racing bikes, training bikes, helmets, spare tubes, tires; everything to kit out the team so they could train and race. They were being invited to regional races in India, Pakistan, the Asian Cycling Championships in Astana, Kazakhstan. We wanted them to have the equipment they needed. It was a great icebreaker first step to do a gear drive and get the equipment over. Then I started training with the girls. Over the past five visits since I've met them, we've trained together. It's been interesting because I'm not a roadie, I'm a mountain biker. But my background as a sports trainer kind of came around full circle. We talk about not just riding, but if you're going to race how to ride in a peloton. How to be comfortable riding close. The normal, basic skill sets that you would need as an amateur team.
That's evolved into supporting them at international races. We're looking at bringing them to Europe next year to do a training camp. We're just stepping in as much as we can to support them as they build steam. But also it's about supporting other girls in Afghanistan who want to ride and getting them basic Pakistani-built steel bikes that don't look like anything special that they can have at home and can ride in public.

Did the team self organize? How did it get started?
Coach Abdul Sediq founded the team. He was the first and at this point really the only Afghan who rode a bike for adventure, for pleasure. He rode I believe to Indian when he was a young man. He started the men's team and his daughter wanted to race. He started teaching her how to ride and used that as a launch pad to reach out to other families and say, "look, I'm letting my girl ride. Would you consider letting yours?" The beauty of this team is it's fully Afghan founded and lead. I come in as a foreigner and I'm there to support them. If they want to take these risks, I support them. If they need things, that's where we step in. And we're looking long term to figure out how to support the work they're doing. At the end of the day, they're the ones that have to take enormous risks to do such a public sport. That's the danger with cycling compared to even the boxing team, which is perhaps more controversial. But they can box in a gymnasium. Cycling, especially road cycling, is inherently public. Not only do they have to take the risk of cycling down an Afghan highway with IEDs, roadside bombs, land mines, insane traffic. You're also women doing something that no women in your country have done before that is controversial, dishonorable. They take enormous risks to do what they love and they feel is their right.
Again looking back at the turn of the century and the bike being part of the women's rights movement, women wore huge petticoats and hats, gloves, boots, blouses buttoned up to the chin–very conservative. When they started riding bikes they were labeled immoral and promiscuous. We're seeing the same thing, just a century later in Afghanistan.
I gather that things are quite different now than when you first started riding in 2009. Has progress been made around women's rights in Afghanistan, at least when it comes to their ability to participate in cycling?
It's this matter of fact approach. But what they're doing is incredibly revolutionary by the nature of the taboo they're breaking. But they look at cycling as a sport. They look at it as a way to be healthy. As a way to travel and visit different countries and meet other women their age. It's incredible. And it's great progress.
That is an interesting litmus for progress. It seems like they almost take for granted their right to do something like cycling that even half a generation ago would never have been considered as such.
Exactly. And the scary thing is, the worry is that security could continue to deteriorate with international forces pulling out this year and there will be a backslide. All the rights that women have gained will be lost if they're not protected. True, organic, community level change takes a generation, so these women are only half way through that. It's going to take a generation to really have some of these seeds to take root. And it'll take another generation for these seeds to normalize. I think that a lot of what we see in the international aide world and humanitarian world are one or two year projects. We want quick fixes. We aren't willing to put the time and patience in to let things grow organically into a generational shift.
You've got your nonprofit, a new memoir, you're working on the Afghan Cycles film. What direction do you want to take your work from here? Are there concrete next steps in the work?
There are. The goal is to expand the program we're doing in Afghanistan with the women's cycling team into other countries, including the US in urban conflict zones like south side Chicago, LA, Detroit, Native American reservations. Looking at areas where violence and particularly gender violence is a huge issue. The program is called Strength in Numbers and it is based on the idea that one woman, one voice can create massive change, but our strength is in our numbers. We want an army of women on bikes fighting for women's rights and against gender violence and really looks at individual actions people can take in their communities to make them safer and better.

which name was changed into Ham Producer s´krasa (from the karst) is the oldest ham producer in the Slovenian karst.
Already for centuries farmers in the immediate vicinity of Lipica began to prepare meat delicacies of the karst in this sparsely vegetated world in the beginning of November, according to traditional methods. The favourable climate of the karst was first used by the "Emona" meat industry from Zalog in the fifties of the last century, when they began to produce karst dried ham.
For the drying of the hams were used grain storages in the surrounding villages at that time. The tradition of the production of karst meat products has been handed down from generation to generation, according to traditional recipes of our grandparents.

Devil's Wake
August 9, 2012 by Angela Carstensen
Devil's Wake, the first in a new series by husband and wife writing team Steven Barnes and Tananarive Due, adds welcome diversity to the crowded zombie field.
Tananarive Due is author of the acclaimed African Immortals series, which can also be recommended to young adults. It includes My Soul to Keep, The Living Blood, Blood Colony, and My Soul to Take.
Zombie fans will enjoy the Devil's Wake Survivors' Daily, a "daily roundup of zombie-themed news and videos to help you survive the Zombie Apocalypse." Clever!
Give Devil's Wake a try here.
BARNES, Steven & Tananarive Due. Devil's Wake. 288p. Atria. 2012. Tr $15. ISBN 978-1-4516-1700-9. LC 2011033779.
Adult/High School–The zombie apocalypse is upon us, once again overwhelming society before anyone can figure out how to fight it. A teenager left alone after the rest of her family is picked off one by one, a group of teens from a juvenile detention camp, and a young national guardswoman are thrown together as they try to outrun the epidemic. Eventually all media goes down except for radio broadcasts by a self-proclaimed preacher who claims to have created a safe haven. As the teens try to reach it, their journey is peppered with zombie attacks and ambushes by pirates–feral people who are just as dangerous as the zombies. Barnes and Due bring a fresh approach to their take on the zombie apocalypse with a few interesting twists. First, the cause is known; people who've taken a new diet mushroom and gotten a specific type of flu shot are suddenly turning. Also, the zombies are not all the same. They vary in speed, level of hunger, and, most terrifying, in their ability to seem uninfected. Although this book is clearly laying the groundwork for a series, there is enough content, and the characters are well enough formed, to make this a satisfying story. There are also intriguing hints of what may happen in the upcoming volume. This book will speak to teens: the protagonists are young adults and the catastrophe is seen from their point of view. Diverse characters, often missing in this genre, add to the book's appeal.–Carla Riemer, Claremont Middle School, CA

My son's latest morning routine involves coming in to wake us up, and then climbing into bed with us and asking us to get under the "fort." As Moms know, kids love tents, forts, places they can hide and let their imagination run wild.
The TeePee for Me is a fantastic play item for your child. They come in some fabulous fabric choices, and rise to over 5 feet tall.
Set-up is really easy (we did it in stealth as we're saving this one for either a December birthday present or a new baby brother present and didn't want to ruin the surprise) and took all of 10 seconds to get up into standing position. It's really grand-looking when it's set up and I can't wait to see the excitement on my son's face when he checks it out for the first time.
They range in price from $288-366. Age range for this one is toddler to tween, so you definitely get your money's worth as it lasts for many years of playtime.


Having decided to make a website, your next step is to set its foundations. For the uninitiated, this can be murky territory. Everybody's offering web packages these days: from your broadband provider and phone network to the dozens of flyers coming in after registering your business.
While it may be tempting (and indeed convenient) to go for these package deals, they can be problematic. Some badly limit what you can put online, with outdated technology and a sparse set of developer tools. The rule of thumb, as it should be with any trade, is to go for the specialists; you wouldn't trust a carpenter to groom your dog, would you?
What you're looking for are two things – web hosting and a domain name.
Website hosting is the online storage shed that holds your content. I'm writing for you, shop owner, and generally speaking you won't have to worry about filling it up. Beyond space and bandwidth, a good hosting provider equips the developer with essential tools such as phpMyAdmin and the latest MySQL, enabling more complex features such as WordPress installation and databases. You needn't worry about these terms as they will come as standard with the right hosts.
A domain name is the signpost that points your surfer towards the hosted content, which under the hood is a series of numbers (an IP address). Again, thousands of companies offer this service. They're largely similar, but you don't want to get caught out with a bum deal.
With the right hosts, you're looking at between £15-40 a year, and domain names between £5 and £15. That's just over £5 a month to give you a front door into the internet.
Given these terms, what we now want to do is get our hosting setup, and point our domain name towards it. Consider the two mutually dependant. Consider them web Lego.
What Hosting Provider Should I Use?
My personal recommendation is TSO Host, a company who've done me an outstanding service and happen to keep fair prices.
Why TSO Host? Their support second to none, their cpanel is sleek and their servers are super speedy. On top of that, email accounts come as standard with all their hosting packages. What's more, TSO have excellent customer support, and I mean excellent.
Select the left-hand Lite Package and add it to your basket.
Type your domain name into their search bar and check it is available. Note that .uk domains are only available for those who already own the .co.uk counterpart.
Fill in your details and pay. I don't know who you are so I'll not risk guessing. The coupon/code MPWLDWCJPU will get you a 10% discount.
Now that's all sorted, you will receive a welcome email complete with usernames, passwords and nameserver details. These are the keys to your website. Bookmark this and forward it to your developer. We're very thankful when clients whip up the information at once, and this provides us with everything we need to get started on your website. I will explain in a future post just what's happening behind the scenes and how you yourself can access this big online shed. For now, this is a fine start.
There. Hopefully that cleared a few things up and skipped some unnecessary tedium. Happy hosting.
Where next? Logically, your next step would be to prepare the website pages and photos for your developer.

When I first came to Woodland Hills Church, I was a year out of college and had recently moved to the Cities from rural Minnesota. To say things had changed in my life is a vast understatement. And yet, 12 years later, I can hardly remember what life was like before I came here. For over a decade, this place has been my spiritual home – the place where I have grown by leaps and bounds in my faith and my relationship with God while in the midst of a loving and supportive community that means the world to me. However, just as I faced a season of change all those years ago, I am now coming face to face with another such change. For the past year, God and I have been in conversation about what He wants for me and where I can do the most for His Kingdom. As He and I have talked and as I've talked and prayed with various people in my close community of friends and family, I've come to the realization that He is asking me to take a leap of faith, face my fears, and trust in Him in a new and exciting chapter of my life that, sadly, will mean my leaving Woodland Hills.
I cannot say with words how much it has meant to me to be part of this church community and, especially, a part of its Children's Ministry. To you parents and grandparents, I want to say an enormous thank you for allowing me the privilege and honor of ministering to your kids over the past 12 years and getting to know so many of them. They have been one of the biggest sources of joy, laughter, and delight in my life, and as much as I have taught them, they have, I think, taught me more. Their curious questions, joyful faith, creative minds and imaginations, and easy smiles have brightened my life nearly every week for over a decade, and I will miss them terribly in the coming months.
I also want to thank our amazing HG volunteers who have given so much of their time, talents, and love to minister to the kids each week over the years. I have been blessed to get to know and work with so many of you, and you, too, have shaped my faith and helped it to thrive and grow here. I pray God will bless you for all you've done and continue to do for the kids at Woodland Hills!
My final Sunday in Heroes Gate will be Sunday, May 27. What am I doing after that? Well, I honestly don't quite know. God and I are still working on that, but I believe whatever it is that He is calling me to, it must be something pretty amazing if He's asking me to leave this wonderful community. Thanks again, and may the Holy Spirit continue to be with you, your families, and this church as you learn and grow together and make a difference for His Kingdom.
