Are you one of those people that don't like wasting anything? We have good news. With these ideas, you will be able to utilize even the seed of an avocado. So next time you make guacamole, avocado tostada, or any of these delicious dishes made with Avocados From Mexico, save the pit.
Please note that before starting any new beauty routine, it's always a good idea to consult your dermatologist.
First and foremost, after you wash the avocado pit, there are many various methods to dry and grind the seed.
You can leave it out in the sun for 10 days. Oce it is dry, you can grate it with a hand grater.
You can also remove the outer skin and toast the seed in the oven over medium heat. When it turns dark maroon color, cut it in four parts and grind in a coffee grinder.
The last method involves skinning the outer part, grating the seed, and then drying in a pan over low heat to avoid burning.
Choose which method is most convenient.
The ground avocado seed can be used as a scrub for the face and body. Simply add it to your moisturizer. Or, if you prefer a more natural product, you can mix 1 tablespoon of Vaseline and 1 tablespoon of olive oil with a ground seed and apply it in circular motions. Let is sit for 10 minutes and rinse with warm water.
Don't have time or equipment to grind the pit? You can use clean avocado seeds to enhance your massage. Smear moisturizing lotion on the desired body part. With the palm of your hand, rub the seed against the skin in circular motions applying some pressure.
However you decide to use the pit, the possibilities are just about endless.

Media Watch 20/4/15
European Union representatives are to hold a meeting in Luxembourg on Monday to discuss the deaths of migrants crossing the Mediterranean Sea. The talks come after the capsizing of a boat carrying hundreds of migrants in the Mediterranean over the weekend – a disaster causing the deaths of hundreds. Only 28 migrants have been rescued from the boat at present. The number of migrants to die crossing the Mediterranean in 2015 so far – 1,500 – is now 50 times higher than it was at the same point in 2014. An EU official meeting in Luxembourg will be used to urgently discuss the growing issue of Mediterranean migrant deaths. A 2014 EU decision to cancel the Mare Nostrum programme that rescued migrants in the Mediterranean has come under heavy criticism following the disaster. Italian Prime Minister Matteo Rinzi has called for an emergency meeting on the crisis, bemoaning a lack of EU solidarity on the issue. Other leaders have pointed to events in Libya as a chief cause of the crisis. Libya's ongoing political crisis makes it easier for traffickers to use the country as a launching point for boats carrying migrants.
The Scottish National Party (SNP) is to launch its election manifesto on Monday, with the party promising what it claims to be a progressive "alternative to austerity". Larger commitments in the manifesto are to include protecting the NHS and gaining autonomy for Scotland's finances. The party has also made several headlines today after it claimed it would block defence budgets that included financing of the Trident nuclear missile programme. Media spotlight on the SNP has intensified as it becomes increasingly likely that the party will make large gains in the 7 May general election, potentially holding the balance of power in a coalition government. Critics have expressed fears that such a result would allow the SNP to hold the UK 'to ransom'. However, fears of the SNP's bargaining power with Labour may be overblown given the SNP's outright rejection of the Conservative Party.
Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Pakistan on Monday, as part of a visit in which China will unveil US$46 billion investment plan with the country. The figure dwarfs that of the United States, and reveals China's commitment to forging ties with South and Central Asian nations and the development of a modern-day Silk Road. China hopes to create an economic corridor between the two countries. Cooperative projects are set to include coal, natural gas and solar energy developments. Roads, railways and pipelines will also be built. Cooperation between China and Pakistan on counter-terrorism operations will also feature on President Xi's agenda. China wishes not only to secure the safety of its workers in Pakistan, but also to counter Uighur separatists in its own Xinjiang province, some of whom may be connected to Pakistani militants.
The weekend's migrant ferry disaster in the Mediterranean makes a few headlines today, as does the Scottish National Party (SNP). The Guardian leads with the headline "Hundreds feared dead as migrant vessel capsizes". According to the paper, the disaster has triggered calls "for action to halt trafficking crisis", as well as calls to reinstate the cancelled search-and-rescue programme that saved 100,000 migrants' lives in 2014. The Independent leads with this thread, calling the disaster "The EU's darkest day" in its headline. The paper cites "anti-immigration sentiment" hardening across the continent as one reason for the programme's cancellation. The paper asks political leaders to "put shared humanity before political posturing" in addressing the crisis. In other news, The Times leads with a warning from the SNP that the party "will hold UK defence to ransom" by voting down the UK's defence budget unless it included the scrapping of the Trident nuclear missile programme. The demand comes before the SNP's manifesto launch, the paper writes. The Daily Telegraph leads with the same story, calling the demand a "ransom note" to Labour Leader Ed Miliband. The SNP could "shut down" the government in such events, the paper reports. The Financial Times leads with news that Deutsche Bank is considering selling its retail bank, Postbank, in a "strategic rethink". "Weak markets and tighter rules" have taken their toll on profitability, the paper writes.
On China's latest economic stimulus: The People's Bank of China's cutting of the reserve-requirement ratio, or RRR, has received coverage from the BBC and Guardian. The Guardian's agency piece writes that the cut is "the single deepest reduction since the depth of the global crisis in 2008". The BBC reports that Chinese stocks fell despite the news, in part due to a separate event on Friday: the BBC reports that on Friday the "China Securities Regulatory Commission said it would clamp down on the use of leverage in margin trading and allow funds to lend to short sellers".

Please read the amazing work of a talented poetry.
But how can a wound be so painful and so beautiful at once?
How can you still love someone even though they crushed your heart?
gentle souls, do, get hurt. Don't drown in it. Live.
I agree. I like this Poet's work.


Discussion in 'iPhone' started by Thebullet, Dec 20, 2012.
I've had my iphone a week now and yesterday the home button sounded funny, it sounds like it clicks twice, almost as if something is under the buttons really irritating, like a bit of grit or something making this crunchy sound. It work fine but this sound is bugging me.
Anyone had the same issue? Or know how to clear it if there is an issue!
It's a pretty rare issue for the iPhone 5 since Apple completely reconfigured their approach towards installing the home button on to the device.
You mention that you bought the phone about a week ago -- I would take it back to the Apple store as soon as possible and swap it out with a new phone just to be safe.
Definitely in need of a home button replacement. Apple should replace your device for you free of charge.
Hmm I got it from three on contract so I might take it back to them, the restof the phone is perfect just this, I wonder if it will go away after time?
It is possible that the home button could wear in after time, but most people, from what I know at least, haven't experienced clicking home buttons from unboxing -- it was pretty flush with their device from unboxing. It's your choice, personally, I'd replace it at Apple -- especially after only a week of owning the phone.
My only concern about that is I could get an even worse one that's scuffed or starts clicking again. It might be muck stuck under it. Hmm not sure on what to do.
Actually there is movement in the home button which is why there is this sound, seems a common issue actually.


So a rock got in your Skerton grinder and broke the inner burr. Don't worry! This replacement Inner Burr and Shaft will get your Hario Skerton Hand Coffee Grinder back to what it once was and get you back to grinding your coffee fresh.


Tyrrell Hatton is among five rookies in the European team for this week's Ryder Cup.
Tommy Fleetwood, Jon Rahm, Alexander Noren and Thorbjorn Olesen are the others. He is the only player in the side without a top-10 finish at Le Golf National.
"It is a dream come true. You watch the Ryder Cup as a kid and you want to be there when you grow up so to make the team you feel very honoured – it's a fantastic team. This week, if I can keep my head that will give me the best chance to play as well as I can and hopefully that gets rewarded with some points for Europe," said Hatton.
European captain Thomas Bjorn paired Sergio Garcia, Henrik Stenson, FedEx Cup winner Justin Rose and Noren in the first practice group earlier this week. Rory McIlroy, Paul Casey, Olesen and Rahm followed.
An indicator of things to come or mere experimentation from Bjorn? You decide.
"I'm pretty set in my mind where I want to go with this from the beginning, and over the two days with pairings things can change a lot, but I am pretty set in my mind," said Bjorn.
"This is very much about getting everyone out there and enjoying themselves. They are all out there and getting their bearings and getting to know what the golf course is like this week.
History suggests that being bold and forming new duos is the right way to go for the Europeans, even if the Americans are favourites to lift the Ryder Cup. This Betway blog by Jack Green and infographic will reveal more.
Tiger Woods has many fans singing several praises. The latest in the long line of vocal supporters is Ian Poulter.
Poulter, like Woods, has weathered a career hampered by injury. Poulter, like Woods, will make a Ryder Cup return this week.
"There were definitely question marks when I was struggling a bit – and I looked to see where he has been. It is quite inspirational to see how good he's come back. For the Ryder Cup, it is great and it is good to have Tiger playing the type of golf he is playing, because he makes the Ryder Cup even more special," said Poulter.
"I'm rekindling the thoughts of all the previous times I've played and I'm pretty excited. It's always a special week from a team perspective. I guess when you are at the low of lows, and that wasn't that long ago, there's a little voice in the back of your head that kind of says, 'You might not get back to as good as you was'.

Big Earthquake off the Coast of Sumatra: Indonesia Issues Tsunami Alert
02 March 2016 |
A massive earthquake off the west coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra occurred on Wednesday evening (02/03) in the Indian Ocean. The latest news reports claim the earthquake had a 7.8 magnitude. Its epicenter was around 800 kilometers southwest of Padang, the capital city of West Sumatra. Indonesian authorities quickly issued a tsunami alert. Reportedly, it was a shallow quake, about 10 kilometers deep (shallow earthquakes are more likely to cause damage than deep ones).
The tsunami alert was issued for the provinces West Sumatra, North Sumatra, Aceh, Bengkulu and Lampung. Australia also issued a tsunami warning for Cocos Island and Christmas Island. About one hour after the earthquake authorities lifted the tsunami alert.
Heronimus Guru, Deputy Head of Operations at Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency, was quoted saying "there are some casualties". However, he declined to give more details. Later it was reported that the agency withdrew this statement, meaning that there are no confirmed deaths (yet).
Initially the US Geological Survey said the earthquake had a magnitude of 8.2 (Richter magnitude scale). This was later adjusted three times, to 8.1, 7.9 and then to 7.8.
Located on the Pacific Ring of Fire (an area with a lot of tectonic activity), Indonesia has to cope with the constant risk of earthquakes and tsunamis. A submarine earthquake or volcanic eruption in the ocean can cause a tsunami water wave which can have devastating effects on the people and infrastructure near the sea. In 2004 a large part of the world was rocked by a massive 9.1 magnitude earthquake in the Indian Ocean (only 160 kilometers off the western coast of Aceh) and which caused a devastating tsunami, killing over 167,000 people in Indonesia (mainly Aceh) alone. Although a massive tsunami such as the 2004 tsunami is rare, the Sumatra region is often startled by offshore earthquakes that can potentially trigger a tsunami. With the 2004 tsunami still fresh in mind, the level of fear is high.
Earlier on the day, a 5.2 magnitude earthquake caused panic in Malang (East Java). However, there have not been any reports of casualties or damages.

In connection with this article I find it worth mentioning that the early-warning buoys which were installed for tsunami alerts were not working:
PADANG/JAKARTA, Indonesia, March 3 (Reuters) - All 22 of the early-warning buoys Indonesia deployed after the 2004 tsunami disaster were inoperable when a massive undersea earthquake struck off the coast on Wednesday, a National Disaster Mitigation Agency official said. [...]

UK critics of China won't back down despite 'warning shot', says Shadow Foreign Secretary
26 March 2021, 14:47 | Updated: 26 March 2021, 14:52
By Sam Sholli
Critics of China in the UK will not back down despite being sent a "warning shot" from the country in the form of sanctions, Shadow Foreign Secretary Lisa Nandy has told LBC.
China has hit MPs and British groups with sanctions after the UK Government announced coordinated sanctions against four senior Chinese officials over human rights abuses against Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang.
Boris Johnson has said that he stands with those who have been hit by the sanctions from China, one of which is former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith.
Those targeted by the sanctions and their family members are now banned from entering China, Hong Kong and Macao. In addition, any property they have in China will be frozen, and Chinese citizens and institutions will be banned from doing business with them.
Speaking about the sanctions, Ms Nandy said: "I think this was intended as a warning shot to those critics of China in the UK, to try to persuade us to back down.
"But what this will do is precisely the opposite. It will strengthen our resolution to be more resolute [and] more vocal in pursuit of allowing access to Xinjiang in order to reveal the true extent of the atrocities being committed against the Uighurs.
"And it will strengthen our determination to stand up for the people of Hong Kong as well."
Reflecting more broadly on the UK's foreign policy approach to China, Ms Nandy said: "In relation to China this has now become a really critical issue of British national security.
"We've got to take a more consistent [and] coherent approach to the way that we deal with China."

The sea has been a focus for artists, poets, lovers, fishermen, scientists and explorers through the centuries. Flotsam and Jetsam provides visitors exploring the Sydney Aquarium with an intimate audio journey of stories and anecdotes of the contrasting and at times conflicting perspectives of the ocean. Similar to holding a shell to your ear to hear the sounds of the ocean, the installation gives a detailed insight into Sydney Harbour. Visitors were provided with a piece of wearable art – a customised head-piece, that provided an audio experience as they move through the aquarium, observing the colourful and charismatic sea creatures.
Flotsam and Jetsam is an interactive wearable work enabling users to chose their own journey and create their own audio experience as they listen to the stories about the sea. Using a pre-designed mobile application embedded in ornate headpieces made from objects gathered on the beaches of Sydney the user navigates through an audio journey using small movements of the head. The experience is immersive, designed to help visitors to the aquarium to take a moment to connect to the creatures under the sea and learn their stories.
The project was relaunched and headpieces simplified for an exhibition on the sustainable use of our waterways as part of the UTS Hothouse exhibition 'WATERWAYS' in 2015.


Whilst I am truffling around reviewing alcoholic truffles, it only seemed fair to review more than one for comparison purposes. Any excuse to buy more chocolate!!
The review of Cocoa Ben's truffles led me onto snuffling out a couple more and I have been meaning to review Cocoa Loco chocolate for while.
I spied Cocoa Loco handmade Champagne truffles, the perfect partner to compare to Cocoa Ben's.
At 37% minimum cocoa solids, Cocoa Loco truffles are definitely in the 'milk chocolate' category.
I know these are not going to initially appeal to my tastebuds, but ever the professional I will carry on and be as subjective as possible…..
Cocoa Loco are chocolatiers situated in West Sussex, creating everything from bars, truffles, baked treats to buttons. Single origin, organic and handmade are all ethics they shout about.
Will their handmade champagne truffle live up to their ethics?
Smooth, rich, sweet, full textured, creamy, no alcohol, overpowering sweet chocolate coating.
The creamy, sweet smell of milk chocolate hits you as soon as you unwrap the truffles from their delicate paper duvet.
Coated to perfection in a dusting of light brown flakes, they sit perfectly round and plump waiting to be devoured. Every truffle is the perfect copy of the next, they look beautiful.
There is no obvious alcohol smell, sweet and milk is all I can sense!
The truffles are substantial and the outer chocolate coating gently crushed as you bite down into it.
The taste of rich, creamy and very sweet milk chocolate fills my mouth followed by the smooth, velvety filling. The alcohol flavour is subtle and for me does not work with the creamy, sweetness of the milk chocolate.
The aftertaste is similar to eating a bar of Cadburys, the alcohol flavour disappears in a flash and you are left with a coating of milk on the roof of your mouth. Not pleasant.
The chocolate itself for me tasted, well a little 'cheap' and you certainly only need to half of the truffle, they are super sweet.
Again, I enlisted the help of volunteers to give a subjective review and the feedback was exactly the same.
As with Cocoa Ben's truffles delivering a champagne flavour is always going to be difficult, but any hint of alcohol in Cocoa Loco truffles are just so overwhelmed by the sweet, milk chocolate.
If you are a lover of Cadburys and like the novel idea of devouring chocolate with a hint of champagne, this could be the truffle for you.
For me, I will not be back for another one. They look beautiful and you can see the passion and attention that has gone into them, but the taste does not deliver.
I will however, be tasting and reviewing Cocoa Loco Dark Chocolate bars, so watch this space Cocoa Loco.


This summer I had the great fortune of visiting the ever crazy, cosmopolitan, and controversial Dubai. After a three-hour delay at JFK, and a ten-minute connecting time in Amsterdam, I arrived luggage (less) in what felt like the Emerald City. Seventeen hours of travel time, two very sleepless flights, and suddenly I was walking next to men who looked like floating angels in their white dishdashes. The cab ride from the airport to my accommodations had me so over stimulated I felt lightheaded and faint. One glimpse up the Burj Khalifa and I knew I wasn't in Kansas anymore.
I spent three weeks in this incredibly surreal otherworld. Everything felt so close to western living and yet not at all. The smell of shisha met you wherever you went. The heat was unbearable at best. Naps in the afternoon became an absolute necessity. But that never stopped me from completing DK Eyewitness Travel Top 10. I rummaged through textile, spice, gold, and perfume souqs next to Dubai Creek. I managed my way up the monorail to the infamous Atlantis Hotel. I even found myself making friends with 'locals' who were no less foreign to Dubai than I was.
totally agree with Malac! yip, that's dubai in all its porous glamour :) glad, that you approached this city so open-mindedly. and you visited one of my favourites places, bastakiya. did you discover the hidden XVA Gallery? fantastic place.

Insufficient food affecting insecurity
farmer basking in sunset. PHOTO BY HARTANTO
FOOD STOCK is insufficient level and prone to the threat of food insecurity as demands grow.Vice President Boediono said Indonesia is rich in natural resources, but it's not able to enhance the food productivity to a safe level.
"Without systematic and serious measures, the food insecurity will continue to be a threat," Boediono said when opening the 31th World Food Day in Bone Bolango Regency, Gorontalo as quoted Bisnis Indonesia.
World Food Day is declared by Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and has been celebrated in over 147 countries. Today, Indonesia uses a theme of 2011 HPS, Maintaining Price Stability and Food Access towards National Food Security.
Gorontalo was chosen to host the event as the province is one of the corn-producing centers and has succeeded in diversifying other food than rice. Vice president added that government put the efforts to intensify food availability and security as its first priority.
Indonesia must secure this food self-sufficiency as this happens to be the domestic and global interests."The risk is too high if we are satisfied with the current "sufficient" food stock as food, economic and social vulnerability will still haunt us," he said.
Indonesia must also establish a surplus over its major food commodities such as rice, sugar, corn, fish and meat merely to ensure the food security itself. The measures to create food surplus is feasible as all food sources are available in Indonesia.
In the commemoration of World Food Day on 16 October 2011, FAO reminded the global food crisis threat, prompted by rising global population of seven billion people this month. Global communities also put serious attention to the falling global food production due to climate change.
On the other hand, food commodity prices began to be unaffordable. The biggest impact of rising food commodity prices occurs in poor countries and developing countries.
World Bank Report 2010-2011 shows an increase in food prices during that period has forced at least 70 million people drowning in an extreme poverty condition. If the condition can not be controlled, as many as 600 million people in the world will experience a shortage of food every day in 2015.
Deputy of Distribution Statistics and Services at Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) Djamal saw the statement of the Vice President on Indonesia's food stocks is real as it is based on the fact and valid data. "It is true, it is the fact. However, I can not mention the number about rice production, because we are committed to announce on 1 November 2011, "Djamal said.
In line with Djamal, the chairman of the Progressive Farmers' and Fishermen's Association Winarno Tohir showed his agreement on Boediono's statement.
He said the rice trade system is quite complicated. He considers Indonesia Logistic Board (Bulog) is unable to compete with players in the market, making it difficult to get rice and grain to be used as a stock. Finally, Bulog has to import rice from Vietnam and Thailand as much as 1.6 million tons.
Indonesia needs at least 3.5 million ton of rice this year. However, there is not more than 1.6 million ton supplied from domestic farmers, so Logistic Board must import the rest.
Djamal added that rice import could not complete once at a time, but must be delivered gradually depends on the capacity of the vessel. It makes Indonesia stock food is limited. BPS then reviews data of rice consumption and production in the country.
Rice production is crop estate multiplied by productivity. The data on crop estate is provided by Ministry of Agriculture, while the data of productivity is recorded by the Ministry and Statistics Office.
The outlook data from BPS reveals that rice production rose in January-March. The production continued to increase in April-June. But drought during July-September affected the decrease in crop estate. "Crop acreage dropped mainly in September because of drought."
BPS will release the outlook data on July-September rice production next month.
The Ministry of Agriculture admitted that it's difficult for Indonesia to increase this year's food production due to water scarcity, which caused by El Nino and damaged irrigation infrastructure.
According to the Directorate General of Food Crops at Ministry of Agriculture Udhoro Kasih Anggoro, water scarcity is the primary concern for the farmers. "It won't be easy to add acreage. Therefore, it hampers productivity improvement."
The government should continue to increase food production by expanding new land lot, improving productivity, and reducing post-harvest yield loss.

Falling down with an anguished cry . . .
Something is marked, this night, for death . . .
He walked the wood he so well knew.
And the long-drawn wail of one in pain.
With the placid gaze of fed desire . . .
Moving her white knees as he moved . . .
In the starlight dance of horns and drums . . .
Sank down behind a rushing sky.
Abruptly shatter in tones and die.
It whirled away. Cold silence fell.
And again came tollings of a bell.
Swifter than smoke on the starlit wind.
They come like dreams, like something remembered . .
Lighter than smoke we wreathe and rise . . .
What was the word you said?
Something about clear music that sang through water . . .
I cannot remember. The storm-drops break on the leaves.
Something was lost in the darkness. Someone is dead.
Someone lies in the garden and grieves.
Flinging their green to the earth!
The moon stares down like a half-closed eye.
We run from our windy shadows; we are running alone.
Hung like a dull fantastic flame . . .
The great red bat with the woman's face . . .
The fire-lit rock, the sarabands.
Was it the snapping bough that spoke?
Passed beside him, and vanished away.
Answering laughter rose and died . . .
Who is there? in the dark? he cried.
And he heard deep tollings of a bell.
Look beloved! Why do you hide your face?
They are bearing the boy who blasphemed love!
With a bow of living wire! . . .
And draws slow music from those strings.
They dance upon him, until he cries no more . . .
Have we not heard that cry before?
Beneath green clouds, in a copper sky . . .
Was it you? was it I?
And the night grows full of whistling wings.
Rises and sings . . .
Where have I heard these words? Was it you who sang them?
The treetops tremble and glow.
To the young white flesh that warmly bleeds.
Peers at the blood with a narrowed eye.
See how the white youth struggles in vain!
But still she whispers upon him and clings. . . .
See how quiet the white one lies! . . . .
Singing far off. The dead leaves fall. . . .
And entered the hunger of him I loved.
And the maenads dance with flying hair.
And wait like stones for the moon's eclipse.
Where the moon leers down like a half-closed eye. . .
That filled their shadowy yesterdays. . . .
Where are the breasts, the scarlet wings? . . . .
They gaze at each other with troubled gaze. . . .
With a slowly dying clamor of sound.
In a grove of twisted leafless trees. . . .
While one lies weeping and one of them crawls?
I heard the dripping of blood on stones. . . .
And the leaves were strewn with blood and bones.
The warm earth stretches herself and sighs. . . .
Listen! I heard the slow heart beat. . . .
And seek in the darkness for her mouth.
Where are you? Where are you? It is I. It is I.
Your starlight body that breathes in the darkness there.
Under the darkness I feel you stirring. . . .
Is this you? Is this you?
Bats in this air go whirring. . . .
Is this the soft mouth I knew?
And the patter of dew.
Dance till the brain is red with speed!
Dance till you fall! Lift your torches!
Kiss your lovers until they bleed!
I will break your body and fling it away. . . .
Look, you are trembling. . . .Lie still, beloved!
All night long till the break of day.
Is it your heart I hear beneath me. . . .
Or the far tolling of that tower?
The voices are still that cried around us. . . .
The woods grow still for the sacred hour.
Rise, white lover! the day draws near.
The grey trees lean to the east in fear.
Beloved, whose voice was this that cried?
By the clear waves that starward run. . . .
And crumbled in flame that should have annealed. . .
Fall. Far off, the maenads run.
The veins of the red earth swell and beat.
Far off the maenads bind their hair. . . .
Hurry, beloved! the day comes soon.
The fire is drawn from the heart of the moon.
The great bell cracks and falls at last.
The moon whirls out. The sky grows still.
And suddenly drops behind the hill!
We sit in the room by candle-light.
No sign of the things we saw this night.
In the dark forest where maenads scream . . .
'By the clear waters where once I died . . .
And touch my hand, and turn away.


Escorted by her future father in law, Shannon steps out of the rain and into the shelter of the barn where her friends, family and soon-to-be husband anxiously awaited her arrival Aug. 20, 2016, at Golden Oak Farm in Lonsdale, Minn.
One of my favorite assignments in my newspaper days was to create Year-In-Review features. Yes, I'm writing this in earnest. While many viewed the collections as easy cop-outs for generating content in a time notoriously slow for newsworthiness, I always enjoyed reflecting back on the year.
First, I only chose one photo from each month to streamline the process. Second, I put the most weight on the emotion of the picture. These aren't necessarily the prettiest, most perfect compositions we created in the past year, but they are photos with a strong connection to the viewer. If I was flipping through files and literally laughed out loud to myself, I knew I had a candidate. Third, I chose only candid moments. We set up plenty of engaging portraits throughout the year, but what I cherish most is an honest photograph captured as the moment occurred.
So, without further ado, here are some of my favorite moments from 2016. There are so many great moments that didn't make this post, but I think you'll enjoy them all the same. Thank you to everyone who made this year such a success and allowed me to share in your beautiful stories. I look forward to another year filled with laughter and tears of all kinds.
January | Bliss En route to their wedding reception, Missie and Nate stopped off for drinks and celebration with their friends and family at the bar where they met in Elko New Market, Minn. Nate swept Missie off of her feet on the way in. I added a little extra grain to the photo in the editing process to add to the dreamy quality of the photo.
February | Silliness Little Ivy had to entertain herself as her little brother cuddled with mom and got all of the attention during his newborn photo session in Hastings, Minn. I always try to see what else is happening around the main event and found Ivy giggling as only a toddler can do as she listened to the fun sounds in her puppy book.
March | Joy Matt and April are beaming with joy as they hold close to their daughter as her older brother hides off camera during her newborn photo session at their Minnetonka, Minn. home.
April | Contentment Story time leads to laughter during little Delilah's four-month photo session at her family's New Hope, Minn. home. Bonding over books has been a part of the family since then four-year-old Oskar was born.
May | Relief Kaitlin whips off her cap at the end of her graduation photo session in Lakeville, Minn. I happened to be focusing on Kaitlin as she walked away from me and amazingly captured this decisive moment. In our shared excitement over the image, she and I tried to stage the photo again to make it perfect. It wasn't. Only the original, natural photo would make the cut!
June | Happiness The Albrecht girls can hardly contain themselves as they are reunited after months apart from school and military service during their sisters photo session at The Gardens of Castle Rock in Northfield, Minn. We staged plenty of pretty portraits during their session, but it was this moment of sisterly verbal jabbing that I liked best. I've been working with this family for many years, which always helps everyone to relax for these candid moments.
July | Unworried Trygve does his best to protect his daughter from the gusts of wind and pelting raindrops that erupted as Lorelei walked to reveal hear wedding gown to her father for the first time on her wedding day in Maple Plain, Minn. This may be my favorite moment from 2016!
August | Jubilation Brian and Michelle kiss for the first time as husband and wife during their outdoor wedding ceremony at The Gardens of Castle Rock in Northfield, Minn.
September | Overcome Claire is comforted by her father as she holds back tears of joy and excitement during their first look in Northfield, Minn.
October | Gratified The father of the bride wears his heart of his sleeve after giving a touching tribute to his daughter and her new husband during their wedding reception at The Gardens of Castle Rock in Northfield, Minn.
November | Excitement After traveling thousands of miles and across continents, the mother of the groom, center, is delighted to meet the mother of her new daughter in law for the first time during the couple's wedding reception in Minneapolis. The bride and groom met in Europe and held a small wedding ceremony in Minnesota before reuniting the family (many of whom hadn't seen each other in years) for the celebration.
December | Loved The newest member of the family, a golden retriever puppy, is comforted from the dropping temps and blowing snow by one of his best friends during the family holiday photo session at The Gardens of Castle Rock in Northfield, Minn.

We posted our latest survey yesterday afternoon and so far we've had an amazing 345 responses (if you've not done it, it's not too late https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WMS38PY).
I'm really keen to get our users input into the next upgrade to TRIP (scheduled for early 2012) and this is the first stage survey. We asked people to leave their emails if they want to take part in further surveys and we've already got 200+. The first survey asks mainly high-levels questions (e.g. what's good about TRIP, what's bad etc). The second survey will ask more specific questions about functionality, design etc. I really can't wait. But before the second survey I have to finish reading a few books and papers on search and to fully analyses the first round of results.
What do you use TRIP for?
How do you use TRIP?
One issue we're looking at is the content offering of TRIP, what best describes it for you?
Another area of interest is the design of TRIP (how it looks). We have recently rolled out a new design and we're not convinced it's great. What do you think?
If you were required to login to TRIP to use it, how would you feel?
What feature would make you use TRIP more?

Penn State Beaver joins local universities in creating historic partnership
Group is dedicated to improving the lives of area residents through access to education, cultural events and economic opportunities
Geneva College President Calvin Troup, Penn State Beaver Chancellor Jenifer Cushman, Community College of Beaver County President Chris Reber and Robert Morris University Provost David Jamison, left to right, unveil the Bridges and Pathways College Partnership, a consortium dedicated to improving the lives of Beaver Valley residents through access to education, cultural events and economic opportunities.
MONACA, Pa. — Four Beaver County-area institutions of higher education made their commitment to a shared future official on Tuesday, Dec. 12.
Penn State Beaver, the Community College of Beaver County, Geneva College and Robert Morris University held a joint news conference at Uncommon Grounds Café in Aliquippa to unveil the Bridges and Pathways College Partnership, a consortium dedicated to improving the lives of Beaver Valley residents through access to education, cultural events and economic opportunities.
"We believe this historic partnership not only serves the needs of our students but also strengthens our community," said Penn State Beaver Chancellor Jenifer Cushman.
The partnership is a response to the Beaver Valley's rapidly changing economic identity and the institutions' collective vision to serve the educational, workforce development and quality-of-life needs of residents and businesses in the area.
"Today's announcement and the creation of this consortium signifies a turning point for higher education in Beaver County and the region," said Chris Reber, president of the he Community College of Beaver County.
Part of addressing those needs involves helping students — particularly those in under-served communities — gain access to higher education opportunities and secure the financial resources they need to attend a college or university. To that end, the partnership has joined with the Beaver County Regional Council of Governments and the Beaver County Foundation to develop two scholarships for local students who attend one of the four Bridges and Pathways institutions.
The COG scholarship is open to a second-year student who has an interest in government and also includes an internship opportunity. The Pathways scholarship, which was established with an initial donation from the Beaver County Partnership for Community and Economic Growth, is open to any Beaver County high school graduate.
"Robert Morris University is grateful to be a part of this coalition that will help launch Beaver County students into great careers and great lives. Given the looming workforce shortage in the Pittsburgh region, we must ensure all communities in the area have access to both a world-class education as well as cutting-edge workforce training," said Robert Morris President Chris Howard.
The partnership also plans to collaborate on an advisory group for local businesses and a cultural series that will offer entertainment and learning opportunities to the community.
The Bridges Advisory Group consists of faculty and students from the partner institutions who will solve problems and build projects for local businesses. The group will eventually be housed within the Beaver Valley Innovation Hub, a regional entrepreneurial and co-working space currently in the fundraising phase. Until the hub is built, the group will operate out of the Beaver County Chamber of Commerce.
The shared cultural series is an effort to multiply the cultural impact of the partnership institutions on the community. The first effort, a common book project, led to discussions between faculty, staff, students and community members on all four campuses and will culminate with trips to Jerusalem and the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., in the spring.
Future efforts could include a speaker series and arts offerings.
"We're committed together to extend cultural engagement," said Calvin L. Troup, president of Geneva College. "It's vital to us as educational institutions. The rich cultural heritage of the Beaver Valley provides opportunities for meaningful cultural considerations through our partnership."
The partnership has developed a website — bridgespathways.com — so the community can keep abreast of the opportunities this conscious sharing of resources and ideas will afford them.

Home All News Banks to consider giving loans to sugar mills to set up new...
Banks to consider giving loans to sugar mills to set up new distilleries despite weak balance sheets
Utilization of excess sugarcane for ethanol production to improve viability of sugar industry; Ethanol is a green fuel and its blending with petrol also saves foreign exchange
Government has taken various measures to improve viability of sugar industry, thereby enabling sugar mills to make timely payment of cane dues of farmers. Going forward, diversion of excess sugarcane and sugar is the long term solution for addressing the problem of excess stock and improving viability of sugar industry. Ethanol is a green fuel & its blending with petrol also saves the country's foreign exchange.
A meeting co-chaired by Secretary (Food & Public Distribution), Secretary (MoPNG) and Secretary (DFS) was held with the representatives of leading banks and Oil Marketing Companies, Cane Commissioners of major sugar producing States and sugar industry associations on 21st August 2020, in which ways and means to increase the supply of ethanol to OMCs was discussed to achieve the objective of the Government to increase blending percentage in petrol. It was agreed that as producers of ethanol (sugar mills), buyers of ethanol (OMCs) and the lenders (banks) are willing to enter into a tri-partite agreement (TPA) about producing, buying and paying for the ethanol through an escrow account etc., the banks can consider giving loans to sugar mills even with weak balance sheets. This would facilitate mills to avail loans from banks to set up new distilleries or to expand their existing distilleries, thereby enhancing the overall distillation capacity in the country and thus would help in achieving the blending target under Ethanol Blended with Petrol programme. It was assured by the States and industry that efforts would be made to increase supply of ethanol in the current as well as in ensuing ethanol supply years.
During last ethanol supply year 2018-19 about 189 crore ltrs of ethanol was supplied by sugar mills and grain based distilleries to OMCs thereby achieving 5% blending target and in current ethanol supply year 2019-20, efforts are being made to supply 190-200 crore ltrs of ethanol for blending with petrol to achieve 5.6% blending. The Government has 10% blending target for mixing ethanol with petrol by 2022 & 20% blending target by 2030. To achieve the objective of the Government, Department of Food & Public Distribution is regularly holding meetings with Department of Financial Services; Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas; Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change; State Governments; representatives from Sugar Industry and Banks.
With a view to achieving blending targets, Government is encouraging sugar mills and molasses based standalone distilleries to enhance their ethanol distillation capacity. Soft loans of about Rs. 18600 crores are being extended through banks to 362 projects of 600 crore litre capacity for enhancement and augmentation of ethanol production capacity, for which an interest subvention of about Rs.4045 crore for five years is being borne by the Government. So far loans have been sanctioned to 64 project proponents & completion of these projects would increase ethanol distillation capacity by 165 crore ltrs in another two years. Thus the ethanol distillation capacity in the country would increase from 426 crore ltrs per annum to about 590 crore ltrs per annum by 2022.
To encourage sugar mills to divert excess sugarcane to produce ethanol for blending with petrol, the Government has allowed production of ethanol from B-Heavy Molasses, sugarcane juice, sugar syrup and sugar; and has also fixed the remunerative ex-mill price of ethanol derived from these feed-stocks. The State-wise targets for ethanol manufacture have also been fixed. Sugar mills / distilleries have been advised to utilize at least 85 % of their existing installed capacity to produce ethanol. Sugar mills having distillation capacity have been advised to divert B-heavy molasses and sugar syrup for producing ethanol to utilize their capacity to maximum extent; and those sugar mills which do not have distillation capacity should produce B-Heavy molasses and should tie up with distilleries which can produce ethanol from B-Heavy molasses. States have also been requested to ensure smooth movement of molasses & ethanol.

What Has Social Media Come To? Making the Most Liked Picture Pointless?
Posted on Tuesday, March 5, 2019 by admin Comments Off on What Has Social Media Come To? Making the Most Liked Picture Pointless? | 816 Views
A "competition" has been going on in instagram about a picture of an egg to reach over 18 million likes against one of Kylie Jenner's photos. Many people don't really know who started all of this but who knew that an egg would become so famous all over social media? With the amount of chaos that's going on around the world, an egg got so much recognition. It really caught many people's attention and it even led people to make merchandise about it. Social media has really gone far and who knows what pointless idea will come along in the future.
The person that created this basically wanted to set a world record and many people decided to join in so the egg actually did receive the most likes which is surprising to some people. Now that this world record exists, Kylie Jenner's picture is filled with comments about the egg instead of being about herself. When she noticed the world record egg account, she decided to post a video of herself cracking the egg as "revenge." This situation got so far ahead, people even decided to create merch such as T-shirts, hand bags, hoodies, and much more, all just for an egg and now it's probably famous all over the world so other nations might be selling this as well.
"This issue is absolutely not beneficial since it doesn't even bring good cause to the world that has much more chaos going on since it truly has no meaning to it," said Zahia Hassan, a senior at Thomas A. Edison CTE High school.
Even though the picture got over 19 million likes now, there are many people out there that didn't join this world record and Zahia's one of those people. "I just wish social media could point out the worst situations going on out there all over the world instead of wasting a lot of people's time," said Hassan. She didn't expect that something like this would actually happen all over social media.
People have different point of views and think much more realistically rather than worry about something that's very pointless. "I believe there could've been something else that might've set a world record and can actually benefit people that are struggling all over the world," said Rishab Pal, a senior at Thomas A. Edison CTE High school. "Instead they could've pointed out animals that are becoming endangered or the amount of homeless people out there that actually need a home right now, especially since it's winter," said Pal. Because of this world record, we might actually not be surprised in the future if something like this actually happens ever again on social media.
The world has so much more relevant news that should be recognized than just an egg getting more attention. Many people don't realize how pointless this "competition" truly is. This might've been a fun idea for some people but in the end, a lot of people got bored with this world record since it was just an egg, which is something that many of us eat. Eggs are probably in now a days for some people all because of this world record coming to an exist. This egg even led people to creating other world record accounts for other things such as a world record account for a black egg and other ideas as well. Who knew that an egg could also be a trendsetter?
