Every few years, Americans find a new nutritional evil. First, fat (the saturated kind found in meat and dairy products) was bad. Then, the Atkins diet finally found popularity and claimed carbohydrates (the ones in pasta and breads) packed on the pounds. Now, the culprit is sugar — filled with calories and no nutrients.
The truth is, says Breann Ellis, a registered dietitian, "we can't point our finger at sugar as the sole cause of obesity in our society." Daily overindulgence in saturated fat, carbohydrates, or sugar is the problem. But yes, admits Ellis, the owner of Absolute Wellness, we all need less sugar. Here's how to avoid a diet so sweet its long-term health effects can leave us feeling bitter.
Agriculture Awareness
"Get back to eating from the farm," Ellis says. "These are the foods in the most minimally processed state — whole fruits, vegetables, and grains." Eat less packaged food.
Overly "Ose"
"All these processed foods have sugar added to them," Ellis says. Check out the ingredient label: high-fructose corn syrup (used in 40 percent of all food products), fruit-juice concentrate, sucrose, honey. "Those all are red flags," Ellis says. "Usually if it ends in 'ose,' it's a sugar."
Ingredient Importance
If the aforementioned ingredients are listed near the top, there's a high amount of sugar in that food item. "We want sugar as far down on the list as we can get it," Ellis says, "or completely absent."
Usual and Unusual Suspects
The usual suspects with heavy amounts of sugar: soft drinks, candies, and desserts. Less well-known items, says Ellis, are fruit juice, pasta sauce, and some yogurts.
Sweet Change
Don't overwhelm yourself with change. Slowly try to minimize your sugar intake in each meal. Don't replace regular sugar with artificial sweeteners — it's still sugar. "We are just bombarded with sweets all the time," says Ellis, and therefore, a high "sweet equity" means the body can overindulge in sugary desserts without a natural filter to warn: This is too dang sweet.

Doddridge County students get national recognition for being nice
COURTESY JESSICA BERKEY
By Chris Lawrence in | July 09, 2019 at 1:12PM
WEST UNION, W.Va. — A handful of students at Doddridge County High School are making a difference and the nationally known publication Reader's Digest wants everybody to know about it.
The students are members of the "BARK Club." It's an acronym stands for Bulldogs Acts of Random Kindness. Reader's Digest has selected the club as a finalists in its "Nicest Places in America" campaign.
"West Virginia had a lot of great nominations, but we were really impressed with how these kids go out of their way to make school a friendlier place," said Jeremy Greenfield, senior editor for the publication.
It's an annual contest to find the friendliest places, but Greenfield said this year they opened it up a little wider and have picked a nominee in every state.
"We want people to know there are nice places in their backyard regardless of what they see on the news or social media," he said.
The BARK Club only involves about 15 to 20 students at Doddridge County who do most of the work, but they engage the entire student body to get involved in those random acts of kindness. They show up periodically at the school board meeting with doughnuts. Greenfield said equally impressive was an effort to recognize the birthday of every single student in the school. He added, the kindness generated is not only heart warming, it's also creative.

"When a rival basketball team came to play, one of the students at their high school had been stricken with cancer," he explained on MetroNews "Talkline." "They decided to get everyone in their high school to sign a poster to that kid and make a donation to the family to help deal with the expenses."
The work of the BARK Club and of the 49 other finalists is in the wheelhouse of Reader's Digest according to Greenfield.
"One of the things we've done for 100 years is take the voice of everyday Americans and bring it to our audience," he said. "A lot of cases they are telling uplifting stories that make us feel good."
One of those stories is going to wind up on the cover of Reader's Digest. Part of it will be decided by a popular vote on the Reader's Digest website. You can click here to vote once a day.

Britain's best Masters swimmers descended on Sheffield at the weekend for the British Gas ASA Masters and Senior Age Group Championships at Ponds Forge. PSUK fielded a strong team of 20 in what was set to be a tough weekend of swimming.
At the 9th Navy Masters Championships in Millfield, 2010. It was the first time the PSUK Swimming Team has entered the Navy Masters competition. The one day competition consisting of a virtually full programme proved tiring on the team, especially as the clocks had gone forward. Added to this was the fact that this was many of the team's first competition of the year since the change in the costume rules by Fina.

The word 'Termite' causes panic in the hearts and minds of home and business owners throughout the Metropolitan Phoenix, Scottsdale, Glendale, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler and Gilbert areas—and for good reason. After all, there is no other species of pest more synonymous with destruction and financial ruin than termites. Termites derive subsistence from wood and cellulose-based products and byproducts, with a preference for dead wood and organic byproducts specifically.
Since just about every home throughout the state of Arizona has a wooden frame comprising its fundamental structure, it becomes needless to say that countless numbers of residential and commercial spaces statewide are at risk of a termite infestation. Insectek Pest Solutions is proud to be your knowledgeable, reliable and reputable source for Phoenix termite control and exterminator services.
Termites can nest inside of wall spaces, and anywhere else wood framing exists, but in Arizona, will predominantly be living underground around the foundation of the structure. They live in colonies, so whether or not you see a large amount of them with your bare eyes doesn't mean they are not destroying the structural integrity, value and safety of your residential or commercial space. Sometimes the only telltale features of a termite infestation are the presence of small mud tubes running up from the ground outside of your home, which can easily be overlooked by many homeowners not trained to spot them.
Insectek understands the dire nature of a termite infestation where your home or business is concerned, and this presence of mind has earned us the reputation of being the go-to Phoenix termite control exterminator expert.
When the time comes for you to investigate or deal with a termite infestation head-on, you owe it to yourself to trust your home or business to the Phoenix termite control exterminator professionals at Insectek Pest Solutions. Our courteous, professional, highly skilled and trustworthy Phoenix termite control exterminator team will serve you with the prowess, proficiency and thoroughness you deserve—so that you never need fall victim to these destructive little wood whittling nuisances again.


Garmin HomePort - A "New" version of MapSource for Garmin Chart plotter users.
Garmin has sold marine chart products under their BlueChart brand, for use on Garmin chartplotters for a number of years. The basic BlueChart product was available on a CD and could be used with Garmin's Mapsource on a computer for planning purposes. Work done there could them be transferred to a Garmin chartplotter for use on board. Earlier this year Garmin discontinued their basic BlueChart product and no longer offer any of their more complex chart products such as BlueChart g2 and BlueChart g2 Vision on CD or DVD.
This made it impossible to do any advance planning or post trip reviews on a laptop or home computer, everything had to be done on the plotter. That doesn't make much sense when the plotter is an a boat many miles from home. I don't think I'm the only Garmin user that liked planning a trip in the comfort of my home.
It seems Garmin has seen the error in their ways and are soon to release a product that will allow much of the capability of Mapsource on your computer, using the charts you have installed in your plotter.
Garmin calls this new software "HomePort"
HomePort is expected to be available in November 2009 for a retail price of $29.99.
Olathe, Kan., October 2, 2009 — Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), the global leader in satellite navigation, today announced the introduction of Garmin HomePort – a new application that allows mariners to plan and manage trips, routes, tracks and waypoints and transfer them between a PC computer and applicable Garmin chartplotter, making it easier than ever to plan and review all of your on-the-water adventures.
Whether you're planning a journey or coming off the water, HomePort enables the use of existing BlueChart® data from a preloaded Garmin chartplotter, or preprogrammed data card to help plan ahead on your PC – no additional charts are needed. Once the chart data is uploaded to HomePort, the user can begin to manage and catalog waypoints, routes and tracks, and use the application to help predict fuel usage, tides and depth profiles. With HomePort, mariners can also plan a route to avoid hidden underwater hazards, and can plot a course that keeps their vessel away from shallow or rocky shorelines. HomePort also allows the user to measure distance and bearing between waypoints, and will even help calculate speed and determine an estimated time of arrival.
For even more convenience, the HomePort application lets users create trip files so that they may save and profile trips for future use on their PC. Once you're finished working in HomePort, you need only to transfer the planned route back to the chartplotter via the micro SD™/SD™ card, and enjoy the journey.
Planning on HomePort can be made on either traditional navigation charts, or on fishing charts and is compatible with BlueChart g2 Vision®, BlueChart g2 and BlueChart data. HomePort is expected to be available in November 2009 for a retail price of $29.99. This new planning application will be available for retail purchase, or as a download from www.garmin.com/homeport. To learn more about HomePort and Garmin's compatible BlueChart offerings, go to www.garmin.com.
Are those photos included with the charts? Or are they being pulled from Google, like Google Earth does? I ask because that little camera icon and the balloon thumbnail look exactly like the way Google Earth does it.
The photography is included in the charts, along with a great deal of other information you wouldn't need for a land based vehicle. The presentation in HomePort is probably a bit different than it is on a chart plotter though. It has been released for sale so we may see a review of it soon.
Fishing charts allow the mariner to hide navigation data from the SD card while leaving the bottom contours and depth soundings for their next fishing adventure.
Includes tides, currents, marine services, coastal roads and points of interest.
Detailed BlueChart g2 maps are included on the card to supplement the maps on your chartplotter.
Wow! I'm not a mariner but that looks like a quantum improvement over the old Bluecharts product.
Some of the images that you posted show speed, depth and heading as if the HomePort program is being used with a computer on the water (as if a replacement for nRoute). I don't see anything that says the program actually does this. I don't see these images on the Garmin site either. Are they just chart plotter images to show the routes having been transferred?
All images are from Garmin's site. The images in post #2 in this thread are of HomePort on a computer. They were taken from this page: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/alt-image.do?pID=64242&img=ImageScreen1Large which you can get to from this page: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=64242# "Images" tab. I see they have changed some of these shots so I'm attaching the new ones to this post.
Thanks for the verification, Ken. I suppose I was somewhat fishing/hoping there was some good news about HomePort that I didn't know about.
I thought I'd describe what I have and what my research has turned up in case there is something I missed.
I have a GPSMAP 76CSx, Titan external antenna, MapSource, BlueChart Americas v9 with the Canadian Pacific Coast (Vancouver Island East) and the British Virgin Island areas unlocked, MetroGuide Canada, and nRoute. Unrelated to this nautical discussion, I now have a Nuvi 255w with CNNT2010.3 so I don't use the laptop or 76CSx on land.
When I recently discovered that both the BlueChart CDs and nRoute have been dropped by Garmin, I started investigating my options for replacing my laptop chartplotter with something new and supported.
The problem is the price of Canadian charts. The same product and price is found everywhere: NavTech, Fugawi, Navionics, local stores here in Calgary and directly from the CHS: about $175 for raster BSB and $600 for vector ENC S-57.
What I don't understand is how Garmin can sell the $600 vector package and the MapSource PC program for $140 (now $115)! The fellow at MapTech support didn't know either, but I'm guessing that maybe Garmin got a good deal some years back when CHS had outsourced the electronic chart business to NDI. Does anybody know?
NDI/DigitalOcean seems to exist still. Their website says to phone for the Canadian data price but I imagine it's the same as everywhere else.
On the software side, I'd be looking at $400 for MapTech's Offshore Navigator (the $99 version does not support vector charts, seamless stitching, or even allow named waypoints). The Fugawi Marince ENC program is $200, or $280 with a special cardreader to read the Navionics version of the CHS S-57 data.
nRoute certainly does pale in comparison to the MapTech and Fugawi programs.
So, it would cost me $800 to $1000 to replace my end-of-lifed Garmin BlueChart data and nRoute. Updates to CHS electronic charts are only for one year, then you have to pay the full purchase price again. If I paid $600 for new data, it would eventually be just as out-of-date as my non-updatable BlueChart data anyway!
I think I'm stuck with what I have. Does anybody know anything different?
I've got pretty much the same setup as you, GPSMap 76CSx, a GPS 20x, nRoute, BlueCharts Americas v2008.5 (Version 10.50) with the Region CA005-Halifax to Cape Breton, Jul 08 unlocked to both receivers. I also have Garmin Mobile PC (with the GPS 20x mentioned above) for use in the car. I have a number of other maps unlocked and ones that don't need to be unlocked that I use in the 76CSx and on the PC with nRoute and Mobile PC. Mobile PC doesn't work with the BlueCharts, it can't display the maps properly, having difficulty where there are smaller highly detailed areas layered with the larger scale charts.
I'm also stuck with what I have as Garmin seems to have decided to get out of the marine Navigation using a PC line of business. I suppose they want us to buy one of their chart plotters.
I'm also still running Nobletec Visual Navigation Suite 4.1.400 on the laptop for sailboat navigation, coastal cruising and near offshore in Atlantic Canada but that software and the charts I got for it at the time are well out of date now.
I think the reason Garmin can sell vector charts so cheaply is because they made their own vector charts independently of what NDI was doing, having only to pay the licence fee to NDI then, and the Canadian Hydrographic Service now.
I had also found those other threads today and have been reading and making the odd post.
I described in another post just now that I mostly use the laptop and nRoute for preplanning and general course steering while under way, replying on paper charts, Sailing Directions, etc for navigation hazards. Since the CHS data is so expensive and there doesn't seem to be any alternative, I'm about to the point where I'll cry uncle and just keep what I have. The data becoming more and more out-of-date is probably not a problem for some years to come.
In case anyone is still following this thread about Garmin HomePort, Garmin now gives this software away for free.
I think they made this change at least a year ago, it's been discussed elsewhere. But it's good news regardless.

River Yacht Club, a visionary waterfront venture in the heart of the burgeoning Miami River District just added a Japanese dining destination to its port of call. This lifestyle location combines gastronomy, entertainment, maritime activities and art into one special river retreat.
Newly opened Dashi is a culinary adventure deeply rooted in tradition from a three generation udon maker family in Fukuola, Japan. It is spearheaded by Executive Chef, Shuji Hiyakawa, a protégé of Iron Chef Masahuru Morimoto. Hiyakawa's modern Japanese concept features ala carte selections ranging from salads, hot and cold soups and udons as well as sushi and sashimi. The House Poke Salad comes with okra, tomato, avocado and ginger miso dressing. Another exotic salad is named Hamachi Shabu-Shabu. Cold dishes include the likes of Ocean Scallops served with Russian osetra caviar and yuzu, and Hamachi Ponzu served with cucumber, cilantro and shio-kobu.. Hot dish choices include Sea Bass Miso with scallions and hoba to Beef Kakuni, served with carrot, onion, and potato among many other creative creations. Dashi which is Japanese for broth, includes a special selection of soups and udons since Executive Chef Hiyakawa started making udon at a young age in his father's noodle shop in Japan. A variety of Miso soups as well as diverse udons like Kakiage Udon with vegetable tempura and Beef Udon with braised short ribs are among the menu offerings.
The progressive Japanese cuisine is beautifully presented in a modern space with one of Miami's most coveted water views. Dashi's minimalist design captures the essence of Japanese style while embracing the nautical theme of River Yacht Club. Two large communal tables invite group dining while almost every seat in the restaurant offers a water view through the floor to ceiling windows. Liquid libations are prepared and poured from a welcoming bar with a unique selection of Japanese whisky and sakes along with wine and specialty cocktails.
After dinner guests are welcome to relax in the outdoor garden and lounge and watch life along the Miami River pass them by. Dashi and River Yacht Club are accessible by land or river with a docking facility.
Open for dinner Tuesday through Sunday from 6 to 11 p.m.

Standing over a new weight that you've never lifted before can be both intimidating and even stressful. However, changing one's mental approach can make this experience more exciting and fun. The following strategies will help you form a plan of attack for setting new PR's.
Developing a routine is a critical process in any sport, but particularly in weight lifting. The routine is very personal and can involve anything from chalking up, to which hand grabs the bar first. The important thing about your routine is it needs to be exactly the same every single time. Your routine will not be developed overnight, but will evolve as experience is gained. The routine is a way to stay focused, gain confidence, and control what can be controlled. It will keep you stay calm and in a "business as usual" state of mind. When a 50% effort and a max effort have the same feel prior to the lift, the mindset is always the same regardless of loading.
Over thinking PR weights is one of the best ways to fail the lift. Even the most gifted athletes cannot think 'hips down', 'fast elbows', 'extend the legs' and 'drop under the bar' during a 2 second lift. In a practice session with lighter weight, thinking about technical parts of the lift is fine. But when moving a new weight, having a single and purposeful thought is ideal. Some examples are "big hips", "fast elbows", "use legs", "drive up", "be smooth", "stay tight" etc. During max efforts it is important to trust your skills and simplify things by only having one thought.
Failing is a major part of sports, lifting and in life in general. Let's just put this on the table: you are going to fail at some point in the gym in the near future! Now that the pressure is off, have some fun! When the thought of failure creeps into your mind, the likelihood of it coming to pass is much better. The worst thing that can happen is the bar doesn't do what you want it to, and then you are the same place you started. No big deal. Approach the lift free and easy, and remember, your livelihood does not depend on making that next lift!
I am a huge advocate of the benefits of visualization and positive self talk. Scientific studies have shown that when people visualize a movement, the nerves that link to the muscles actually fire in a coordinated fashion. That means that you can actually improve your movements without doing them. Quick story: a man who had golfed only a few times in his life was taken as a prisoner of war. For 3 years, every day, the man visualized himself playing 18 holes of golf. This helped keep him sane. He became so good at visualizing his game, he could imagine taking the club out of the bag, how it felt in his hands, and even the moment of impact. When he was released, he went to play his first round of golf and shot par. Visualization works! Before each lift, imagine doing it perfectly and successfully; make it part of your routine. There are mountains of evidence that positive self-talk works wonders for athletes and their performance. Simply telling yourself you can do it is enough to make a huge difference in your success.

Liberia: Financial Intelligence Unit, Key Stakeholders Brainstorm On Development of National Anti- Money Laundering, CFT Policy
By Press Release Last updated Nov 18, 2021
Monrovia – The Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) and other key stakeholders in the banking, insurance, extractive, gaming and other sectors, are currently brainstorming on the development of a National Anti- Money Laundering and Countering Terrorist Financing (AML/CFT) Policy and Action Plan to enhance the protection of Liberia's financial system.
Speaking at the start of a two- day National Validation Engagement workshop on Wednesday, the FIU Director General, Edwin Harris, explained that the development of a National AML/CFT Policy is important to enhance the full implementation of threats and vulnerabilities identified in the recently released National Risk Assessment Report (NRA), which has put Liberia on par with other countries in the World.
According to him, mitigation methods are put into placed to find workable solutions to some of the challenges that are hindering the fight against money laundering and countering terrorist financing regulations.
He mentioned that the validation of the current AML/ CFT Policy and Action Plan is everybody's business and as such, the policy is expected to be released to the public and presented to the Minister of Finance and Development Planning, Samuel D. Tweah, Jr. before the end of this year.
Mr. Harris said the Minister chairs the National Steering Committee that is focused to restore Liberia's image regarding robustly combating money laundering and other financial crimes.
" Every actor in all sectors should be full readiness to adhere to national compliance against AML/ CFT regulations," he intoned.
Also speaking at the validation exercise, the Lead Facilitator and Consultant, Emil Meddy, elaborated that the validation of the policy has the ability to promote the exchange of intelligence to support investigations about AML/ CFT cases and strengthen feedback mechanism to enhance information sharing among every stakeholder in Liberia and outside
According to the Ghana Financial Intelligence Center executive, deepen understanding of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (ML/TF) risks among competent authorities and the promotion of awareness among stakeholders cannot be overemphasized.
He mentioned that facilitating the reporting of AML/ CFT report by actors in various sectors should not be ignored and measures to promote financial inclusion should also be prioritized.
"Adequate measures to facilitate the process of customer due process or Know Your Customers (KYC) in fulfillment of compliance and passage of new AML/CFT regulations; coupled with prohibiting the financing of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction should draw the concern of actors in the public and private sectors in Liberia," he noted.
Mr. Meddy also renewed repeated calls to stop terrorist groups from having access to finance and logistic, coupled with passage of the Whistle Blower Act and subsequent implementation, are positive steps to combat money laundering and other financial crimes.
"NGOs are allegedly noted for facilitating Money Laundering and other financial crimes, adding that this claim has drawn the attention of all financial crimes prevention entities in all parts of the World, the Ghanaian Financial Intelligence Center executive pointed out.
He further proposed that accountants, lawyers and dealers of gold, diamond and other precious stones need to file regular Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) and the development of a guideline on the implementation of targeted financial sanction related to the proliferation of financing of deadly financial acts.

I was writing a PowerShell Script for the 2008 Window Scripting Games (are you in the games?) and I found writing a long complex script using only a text edit to be really tiring.
I blogged about a PowerShell IDE two years ago, but for whatever reason it didn't stick. I didn't start using it regularly and fell back to the command-line and notepad.
However, while I was writing scripts for the Games I got fed up with just the command-line. I went back to http://www.powershell.com and starting coding in the PowerShellPlus Editor. You can get it free. Schweet.
This IDE has come so far and it's a joy to use. It's got a debugger and intellisense and syntax highlighting. It's like SQL Analyzer, but for PowerShell. It's a great way to not only learn PowerShell but it's very powerful for advanced users. Seriously, go get it.
UPDATE with $50 off COUPON: From the comments: "So we have a special deal for loyal hanselman fans..For the next 2 weeks we will give $50 off our price of $129, giving you our PowerShell Suite for only $79. However we've only set up the coupon code with google checkout, so you'll have to checkout through there. So basically add the item to your cart, and check out with Google checkout and use the coupon code: hanselman and you'll be on your way."
Do you ever get tired of having a different editor for every kind of file you edit? Sometimes this drives me nuts and I think about becoming an Emacs monk, but then I conclude editors like the PowerShell IDE offer too much to give up on.
I went to the powershell.com and noticed that PowerShell+ is only free for non commerical use. At $129 for a commercial license, I still think it is a good value for those who do anything complicated with PowerShell.
John - If the fonts are the same, and F5 is the "do it" button, I don't notice.
I've been a huge fan of PS+ for a while. PowerGUI compares pretty well well to the PS+ editor in terms of the editor itself, but that's where the comparisons end. PS+ is a full-featured console which happens to have a great editor. PowerGUI is primarily a GUI script repository which happens to have a very good editor. I find the two tools don't compete in the exact same space. Both are quite useful.
I'm glad you like it, i presume you've noticed a fair bit of improvement since our early NDA betas you were involved with. We are always open to more suggestions and feedback, of what works and what doesn't for people. One thing we are needing to improve is documentation and tutorials, and many of the most powerful features of our tools, only make sense when you know the why.
So we have a special deal for loyal hanselman fans..For the next 2 weeks we will give $50 off our price of $129, giving you our PowerShell Suite for only $79. However we've only set up the coupon code with google checkout, so you'll have to checkout through there. So basically add the item to your cart, and check out with Google checkout and use the coupon code: hanselman and you'll be on your way.
What an incredible tool. As a PowerShell noob, this IDE makes life much simpler. The learning curve just flattened a bit.
On a somewhat related note... Any idea if the Insert Code feature of dasBlog will support PowerShell scripts in the future?

Come to Penwithershins and check out the Underground as Old Janner shows Pat Vulgata round the labyrinths of the mine in The Janetta Stone.
Dark New Lynsmouth has seen many tribulations, but none so great as that set forth in The Kramvil, a gothic novel of eldritch and extraordinary phenomena which unwinds its thread through the twisting alleys of the Old Quarter. When the studious Elias Gillpington runs into the audacious scientist Lazarus Taxon, the wings of fate soon becloud the Keltek sky. As the shadow falls upon New Lynsmouth, Elias sees a glint of light in the presence of the beautiful Miss Constance Place. The story pulses and pullulates with life like a seething vat of yeast infested by furious clouds of flies and wasps on a sunny day, in an ancient lithograph of old Bombay. Potent, frothy, well-charged and heady, this electric manuscript will give you the skittering jitters and chill your rattling trotters.
The collection of Poems will most likely sneak up on yous from downwind and lasso yous off to a land of golden sunshine, rustling leaves and phonographs furling out foxtrots 'fore rustling ya rational-mind and dry-gulching yous in Tuskaloosa or somewheres or some or other such place.
Next, for the word-hungry among ye, we have a couple of glossaries to teach the tongues of talking. First be the Gerlyvryn Kernouac which explains some words of the ancient Cornish language which appear in the stories. Then we have the International Glossary which covers words from overseas, ancient and modern, as well as some archaic forms of Sowsnek, or 'English'.
For our closing act, we have Ghost-Hulk of a Phantom, a darkly comic portrait of a struggling writer - a halucinatory roulade of oceanic fervour - a splattering of adrenalin on a canvas of vast cabbage-fields.
To cut a John Dory short and chase the choice cuts I gotta say that An Morvil Kornek or The Horned Whale is the kind of book the lack of which would crook and rook up your reading-life by an absence of the positive presence of its very special form of effervescence.
Why not go totally hog-wild and print out a poster for ya home or the twisting back-alleys of your juddering home-town, ya sprawling metropolis or ya muddy one-horse village-street?
Hope you like the stories! And remember, you can't judge a rook by its plover. Take it easy now, but take it!

I've been scouting this tree for awhile. It stands solitary in a field on a hill. I was able to find a vantage spot where the tree is silhouetted against the dusk sky. I like how the cyclist stopped and looked back towards the tree. The colors in the sky were not spectacular, but evoke a nice moodiness.

Grate the potatoes and onions using a medium grater, you want a fine grated mush rather than slivers. After grating, drain well in a fine sieve, squeezing gently to remove most of the water. The mixture may discolour but that can't be helped.
Put in a bowl with the egg, flour and salt. Mix well.
Add oil to a heavy frying pan, you want this quite hot.
Take a tablespoon of the mix per pancake, drop into the hot oil, patting the pancake flat with a spatula, the thickness of a finger is about right.
My grandmother would pile the pancakes high on a plate as she cooked, which meant some of them had lost their crispness by the time we got to eat them, but we liked them that way.

Libya: Glencore Loses Exclusive Rights to Major Oil Grades
London- Asharq Al-Awsat

Trading and mining giant Glencore (GLEN.L) has lost its exclusive marketing rights for two of Libya's main crude oil export grades after holding them since late 2015, trading sources with direct knowledge told Reuters.
The Switzerland-based firm had secured the rights to the Sarir and Messla grades when it was one of the few foreign companies willing to deal with the North African country during unrest that has wracked the country since 2011.
Glencore had exclusive rights on the two grades until the end of 2018.
In a sign of renewed international confidence in Libya's oil industry, BP (BP.L) and Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.AS) returned to lifting directly from the country last year, initially taking other grades.
"Glencore lost exclusivity on Messla and Sarir," one of the trading sources told Reuters, asking not to be named. "Companies like BP and Shell had their first Messla and Sarir allocation."
A second trader said that now "anyone can get these grades."
The two grades account for nearly a fifth of Libyan output that now stands at 953,000 barrels per day (bpd), still well below the pre-conflict level of 1.6 million bpd.
For a period when oil production fell even more sharply, those grades that are exported from the eastern Libyan port of Marsa el Hariga generated the bulk of state revenues.
Libya's 220,000 barrel-per-day Ras Lanuf refinery, which is now idled, ran on the two grades.
The remainder of Libya's crude streams has not been allocated exclusively to one company for such an extended period.
So far, Unipec was also allocated three cargoes from Marsa el Hariga in January, one source said, although the proportion taken of each grade by the trading arm of China's Sinopec was not immediately clear.
BP is due to take 1 million barrels on the Crescent Moon tanker in mid-January from the same port, according to a shipping source and Refinitiv Eikon ship tracking. BP did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Shell is also due to take at least one cargo from Marsa el Hariga, three sources said.


Jewish Humor Central: Passover Videos: "Leavened," a Parody of Irving Berlin's "Cheek to Cheek"
Passover Videos: "Leavened," a Parody of Irving Berlin's "Cheek to Cheek"
Yesterday we took a day off from Passover videos to bring you the traditional Joke to Start the Week. But it's still Pesach for the rest of the week and leavened foods are still off-limits.
So now we're back to the videos that have been building up in our queue. Today's entry is a particularly well written and well performed parody on Irving Berlin's Cheek to Cheek.
It's written by lyricist Richard Eisenberg and performed by Adam B. Hammer, a TV and film actor who you may have seen in The Cobbler and The Normal Heart.


Are our children destined to repeat the worst of us? Don't be so hard on yourselves, Dr. Ponton tells parents. And work toward change with your child.
I have two girls, ages 9 and 11. They seem pretty well adjusted, though we had some rough times when I separated from their father two years ago, and I'm not looking forward to what might happen if or when we finally divorce. Right now, they seem fairly happy, and we get along very well.
Like all humans, my daughters have their strengths and weaknesses. The weaknesses that seem to cause them the most trouble and distress just happen to be weaknesses that I share. I would really love to help the younger one get over her belief that she doesn't "deserve" to be happy, but I never figured out how to overcome this feeling in myself, therapy notwithstanding. I thought it was my harsh and punitive parents' fault that I turned out that way, but I strive to be loving and forgiving with my children, so what's going on here?
I would love to help the older one learn to budget her time and develop a work ethic, but I'm a severe procrastinator and get bored with "applying myself" -- just like when I was a kid. I feel like a hypocrite trying to advise my kids on these things when I so obviously never learned the solutions. How can I steer them away from behaviors that will cripple them in adulthood?
Although this mother's letter resonates with frustration, self-doubt, and deprecation of her parenting skills, I am impressed with her evident strengths and insight. In her letter she courageously bares weaknesses, hoping to make her daughters' lives better. She suggests that even if we choose a parenting style different that of our own parents (in her case a switch from punitive to supportive), we may see generationally repeated behaviors in our children, and may find ourselves unable to help them. In other words, we get the distinct impressions that biology and family are destiny.
Are we really going to see our worst traits reflected in our children's behaviors? This is an important question that most parents wonder about silently. This mother worries out loud that we are doomed to carry these crippling traits, and live them twice through our children's lives. This mother also raises unspoken questions about how much is transferred between generations, and what, if anything, can be done to alter this process.
First, it is important to point out that, in the period between separation and divorce, concerned and loving parents always worry and frequently feel guilty about their actions. Many are looking -- oh so carefully -- for negative consequences. They focus on what they view as their personal negative characteristics, just as this mother is doing. Never does the parental mirror reflect such a dark vision of parental behavior.
But negative aspects of life -- including actions, traits, and fears -- often are exaggerated in the middle of a serious trauma. Things are not always what they seem, and counseling or supportive psychotherapy can clarify the situation and ease the pain. This mother admits that she has tried therapy already and failed. However, it has helped her accomplish at least one thing. She has become a different mother from her own and she has two happy daughters -- a huge accomplishment. The pursuit of personal happiness and self-acceptance is often a long road that occupies a lifetime, but it is key that this mother continues her search, for her daughters and herself.
For example, I often drive too quickly. Sitting in the back seat, my daughters have been witnesses to this more times than I care to remember. I have watched them imitate this behavior as teens, and this has been a big motivator in dealing with it -- for all of us. I have talked openly about my own transgressions in this regard, and we have frequent discussions about what constitutes safe driving. We are able to help each other. This is what it is to be human, and by admitting to weaknesses, the mother can be a strong role model.
In addition to looking at her own response, this mother should continue to give both daughters a lot of encouragement and positive feedback, making sure to demonstrate the capacity for self-care. By eating well, sleeping well, and doing things that she finds enjoyable, this mother prepares for challenges, and communicates the importance of self-care to her daughters.
As frazzled and worried as she feels, this mother is doing a lot already. I would urge her, above all, to step back in order to see how competent she is as a parent, even in a time of crisis.


Amazon unveiled the Echo Show today after months of rumours leading up to its launch. It expands the Echo range by adding a larger and more versatile product to the line-up. Former Echo devices have relied on voice commands for input.
The front of the Echo Show is dominated by its 7-inch touchscreen. Above the display, there's a small microphone and camera for use when speaking to the device or making calls. The bottom of the device houses the large speaker grille and openings for the microphone array. On top of the unit, the volume controls and a privacy button form the Echo Show's basic control panel.
The overall design of the device is radically different to the refined metal cylinder that houses the Echo. The imposing, box-like Echo Show doesn't look like it'll follow its older sibling's lead in seamlessly integrating with homes. It has a look that's reminiscent of kiosk PCs, implying Amazon considers it to be the "hub" of your home where your family checks up on notifications and prepares for the day.
Amazon is using Intel's Atom x5-Z8350 processor to power the device. While the operating system underneath is unconfirmed, it's believed Amazon has included a modified version of its Fire OS platform. Connectivity options consist of 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Amazon is reusing its existing array of eight far-field beam-forming microphones as the basis of the Echo Show's voice recognition technology. Recently made available for other companies to use, the microphone setup lets you talk to Alexa from across the room without struggling to make yourself heard.
While its microphones are unchanged, the Echo Show's actual speaker has received a notable upgrade over the current Echo. Responding to criticism of the Echo's sometimes lacklustre output, Amazon has added a pair of Dolby-equipped speakers for improved audio quality.
The Echo's headline feature, Amazon's Alexa digital assistant, hasn't been given much special attention on the new device. Although some "skills" have been expanded to work with the display, at its heart the assistant remains unchanged. Amazon has added the ability to make and receive both voice and video calls though, developing the Echo's ability to handle a range of different tasks.
The Echo Show can also display video feeds from security cameras and baby monitors, show TV feeds and provide lyrics to songs playing on Amazon Music. Amazon has extended the existing capabilities of the Echo to include features that wouldn't be usable with voice alone.
"Echo Show brings you everything you love about Alexa, and now she can show you things," Amazon's product description for the Echo Show reads. "Watch video flash briefings and YouTubers, see music lyrics, security cameras, photos, weather forecasts, to-do and shopping lists, and more. All hands-free – just ask."
The Amazon Echo Show will launch at $229.99 and will be available in the U.S. on June 28. Amazon hasn't yet announced worldwide availability but a gradual expansion to the other regions where Alexa is available is likely in the coming months. Two colours will be available, black and white.

From the front lines of the culture wars
BlogsPornography Tue Oct 4, 2016 - 11:40 am EST
The horror stories are real. Don't give your children a smartphone.
Jonathon Van Maren Follow Jonathon
Oct. 4, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) - After spending four days at the Coalition to End Sexual Exploitation Summit in Houston, Texas, my brain is very tired. We heard lectures on neuroscience, human trafficking, sexual abuse, child exploitation, and so much more. And we heard many, many lectures on the poison that is seeping in everywhere, fueling sexual abuse, destroying relationships, breaking down the ability of men to function, and obliterating childhood: pornography.
I'll be writing a lot more about what I've learned (read my reports from the conference here, here, and here) but for now I'd like to make one simple plea to parents, something nearly every speaker and every lecturer advised: don't give your children smartphones.
This advice has made me very unpopular in some circles—one teenager greeted me at a high school presentation by saying balefully, "So you're the one who told my parents I shouldn't have a cellphone." But it is essential. Children, and most teenagers, do not need a phone with Internet access.
It's crazy to think that a decade ago, smartphones were uncommon. Many people didn't even own a cell phone. Now, as we heard from Vanity Fair journalist and author of American Girls: Social Media and the Secret Lives of Teenagers Nancy Jo Sales, nearly every social interaction - and sexual interaction - of teenagers is shaped by the tiny, always-throbbing devices they carry with them wherever they go. This has given rise to cyber-bullying and a spate of suicides, sexting and sexual exploitation of teens by teens, and the nearly non-stop viewing and amateur production of pornography. Teenagers - and children - are pulled into the social webs woven from Facebook to Instagram, from Snapchat to a half-dozen other underground cyber-settings, the interactions and content curated only by the children who populate them, free of parental or adult supervision.
Teenagers know that it's making their lives miserable. The girls Sales talked to told her so. They also said that they had no way of getting out. Much of life is now lived online, and to opt out is to engage in voluntary isolation. The currency is often nude or sexually explicit pictures or "selfies"—and increasingly, that's often non-optional, too.
Parents cannot control the new world of teenagers. In many cases, they cannot even penetrate it. That is why one man was so bewildered when his daughter hung herself after a teenager cruelly posted a video of her in the shower on Snapchat—that was the first time the girl's bereaved father had ever even heard of Snapchat. For parents who wish to rescue their children from the cyber-jungle or spare them the pain that is engulfing millions, there are a number of answers. Open communication and open conversations. Attempted oversight of social media use. Accountability software and filters on all technological devices.
But for today, I just want to push one: Don't give your children smartphones.
This advice has made me very unpopular in some circles—one teenager greeted me at a high school presentation by saying balefully, "So you're the one who told my parents I shouldn't have a cellphone." But it is essential. Children, and most teenagers, do not need a phone with Internet access. They do not need nonstop access to social media sites that put them under the influence of their peers rather than adults. They do not need the social pressure that inevitably – inevitably - comes with entering a cyber-world of teenagers with new standards and new currency. And above all, they should not have access to all the pornography the web can offer, vile material that is setting new sexual standards teenagers across North America and beyond are beginning to conform to, through pressure, through force, or by choice.
Share this article to spread the word!
I heard dozens of stories this weekend of parents finding children on smartphones, watching hardcore pornography. Children younger than the former average age of first exposure to porn, which used to be age eleven. It's now age nine. These children, in a few gawking, horrified moments, are robbed of their childhood. Their worlds change in that moment. They cannot unsee what they have seen. And they should never have had access to it in the first place.
Don't give your children smartphones.
I understand that teenagers are more likely to actually need a cell phone. My parents signed for a cell phone for me when I got my driver's license—not so I could interact with my friends or go online, but so they could contact me and I had a way of communicating with people when I was out and about. My first cell phones had no Internet capability, and I didn't miss it. I sometimes wish my current phone didn't have Internet either, because I'm as guilty as the rest of this generation of wasting time on my phone when I could be doing something - or anything, really - more productive. But when teenagers need a phone, they still don't need a phone with Internet access. A phone that allows them to make phone calls and text is good enough. They don't need nonstop social media connection, they don't need SnapChat (a "sexting" app that destroys photos in seconds), and they absolutely should not have access to the twisted pornography that they will almost inevitably find.
Do not give the pornographers the access to your children that they seek. They know that children and teens are most likely to find porn on phones, and that's why they've made a gargantuan effort in recent years to create porn that can be viewed and streamed on mobile devices. They know how to access your children—through a smartphone.
Don't give them one.

Petition Challenges DHS on Enforcement Priorities
Posted by Beth Werlin | Feb 12, 2014 | DACA/DAPA, Enforcement
Last week, the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) along with six individuals, submitted a formal request to the Department of Homeland Security asking the agency to temporarily suspend the deportation of low-priority undocumented workers and their families and grant them "deferred action." Deferred action is a discretionary decision by the government not to pursue enforcement against a person for a specific period. The requesters argue that suspending enforcement against low-priority undocumented workers "promotes the prudent allocation of government resources and prevents the unnecessary deportation of those who are contributing to our economy and are part of our community." With deportations reaching nearly 400,000 per year, NDLON urges the department to take prompt action to suspend the deportation of those who would have benefited from the Senate's immigration bill, S.744.
As NDLON points out, such executive action is not unprecedented. Over the years, the executive branch has used its constitutionally-conferred authority to make decisions about enforcement priorities. Such decisions have included implementing programs that permit potentially deportable individuals who fit into a certain category to stay in the United States. For example, presidents have used this authority to protect large numbers of Haitian, Chinese, and Eastern European nationals (to name just a few) from deportation.
And most recently, enforcement prioritization has taken the form of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or "DACA." The widely celebrated DACA program offers deferred action to young people who were brought to the United States as children and who meet other specified criteria, including that they present no risk to national security or public safety. Requests for DACA are decided on a case-by-case basis. In fact, NDLON proposes the Department of Homeland Security expand DACA to include undocumented workers and family members who, presumably, do not qualify under the current age and residency guidelines. According to NDLON, not only is such an expansion legally sound and rooted in prior precedent, but it is good policy. Suspending the deportation of low-priority workers and their families fosters economic growth and furthers our interest in family unity by not unnecessarily separating people from their parents, spouses, or children.
NDLON made this request to the Department of Homeland Security by submitting a "petition for rulemaking"—a procedural mechanism specifically provided for by federal law. Under a federal statute called the Administrative Procedure Act, federal agencies must "give an interested person the right to petition for the issuance, amendment, or repeal of a rule." If the federal agency does not respond to the petition, the interested person or entity who submitted the petition may file a lawsuit in federal court, asking a judge to order the agency to respond. This doesn't mean that the government must do what is asked in the petition. At a minimum, however, the agency is required to answer the petition and provide some explanation for its answer.
It remains to be seen how and when the Department of Homeland Security will answer this petition. But as Congress drags its feet on immigration legislation, the petition offers options for an immediate, albeit temporary, reprieve from deportation for those low-priority workers whose deportation frustrates our country's interests.

MRCG awarded highly competitive Medical Research Council Foundation Award
Award to pursue Evaluating novel diagnostics and enabling preventive measures for childhood tuberculosis between the United Kingdom (UK) and partners in Sub-Saharan Africa
MRC Unit The Gambia's Professor Beate Kampmann, Theme Leader, Vaccines and Immunity and co-investigator Dr Uzochukwu Egere have recently been awarded a highly competitive Medical Research Council (MRC) Foundation Award to pursue translational research on "Evaluating novel diagnostics and enabling preventive measures for childhood tuberculosis between the United Kingdom (UK) and partners in Sub-Saharan Africa".
MRCG's Reach 4 Kids Team
The Foundation Award represents the MRC's first phase of research funding anticipated from the £1.5bn Global Challenges Research Fund. The 41 Foundation Awards led by the MRC, and supported by Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), have been allocated to support ambitious, novel and distinctive research in non-communicable diseases and infections.The award will enable Prof Kampmann's team at MRCG to build upon the research conducted during her MRCG Program Grant "Reach 4 Kids" and will additionally involve new partners in Africa and their respective national TB control programs- "Reach4Kids Africa". The ultimate aims are to validate promising new diagnostics and toextend much needed preventative measures to protect young children exposed to TB. It will lay the foundations for a network of dedicated paediatricians, public health personnel and researchers in our region. According to Declan Mulkeen, MRC's Chief of Strategy, "The five research councils involved in the Foundation Awards have been working collectively to provide new and broader approaches to meet global research challenges. It's encouraging to see these projects tackling the broader environmental and economic factors affecting health, as well as using new technologies to bring cost-effective treatments within reach."
Community Sensitisation on Childhood TB
Furthermore "The MRC has a strong track record in Global Health research, often in partnership. Infectious disease has been the main focus and remains the largest area of funding, but as countries develop, their health needs change. The Global Challenges Research Fund will enable us to tackle a broader range of health problems, for local and global benefit. These awards represent a significant win for global research. We hope that many of the research partnerships being supported will move on to even more ambitious work over the coming years", he added. Commenting on the award Professor Kampman said "TB in children is a much-neglected condition worldwide. I am absolutely delighted that our Reach 4 Kids program of work has been rewarded with this grant, which will enable us to reach out beyond The Gambia to new partners in Mali, Nigeria and Tanzania in order to improve the management of children affected by TB, and to create a larger network for science and advocacy". When asked to comment on the award Professor Umberto D'Alessandro, Unit Director said, "This is an extremely prestigious award that will allow us to expand our research activities related to TB in children to other countries in West Africa. It also shows The Unit's ability to compete for funding with some of the best academic institutions in the world. I would like to congratulate Prof Kampmann and her team for this wonderful achievement."
