Fiserv and Moody's Economy.com has reported that Nevada will be among the top five states expected to see price increases by 2014. What is good news for the Nevada real estate market is great news for the residents of the state, suffering one of the highest unemployment rates in the country. While the unemployment level remains high in Nevada, the prediction of an increase in the housing market means that there are fantastic Nevada career opportunities in real estate.
The requirements to earn a Nevada real estate license are not as difficult as one might think for a career with such tremendous income potential. You must first be at least 18 years old and a high school graduate. You should be prepared to have two sets of fingerprints taken for a background check. The required real estate courses that you will need to qualify to take the Nevada real estate license exam consists of 90 course hours in the subjects of real estate practices, real estate principles, and real estate law. Upon completion of the courses, you will need to get a score of at least 75% on the final exam. You can retake the test several times if needed, and have up to five years to achieve a passing score.
The real estate courses that you need before you can sit for the Nevada real estate license exam can be taken through an online real estate school, so they can fit into any schedule. As long as you have internet access and a computer, your real estate courses and exams are available to you at any time. If you cannot always access a computer, you may find the necessary real estate courses available on the iPhone, Blackberry, or any Smartphone with Android technology with no apps required. No matter where you are, your real estate course materials are at your fingertips.
If you consider that the cost of getting a Nevada real estate license is less than $500.00, it is the most affordable career move you could ever make. For less than the cost of the books and materials for a single traditional college course, you could be ready to start a new career in Nevada real estate.
There is no other industry that can offer the income generating potential of the real estate industry. With just a few hundred dollars and a training period that can be measured in weeks, there has never been a better time to get a Nevada real estate license.

We taste tested Orijen Freeze Dried dog food from Chewy.com by using it as a topper on our dogs' usual kibble.

We think the new KONG Off/On Squeaker dog toys are a great idea! We've always liked KONG because we've found them to be safe, soft in our dogs' mouths, durable, and good for both inside and outside play. The new KONG Off/On Squeaker dog toys actually have a switch so that the (loud) squeaker can be turned off with a flick of your thumb. They're available in several shapes: Bone, Dog, Rattle, Whale and the Bear.

The Soggy Doggy Doormat absorbs five times more water than regular cotton doormats. It's quick drying, very durable, and has a no-slip backing. It soaks up water and dirt like a sponge thanks to super absorbent microfiber chenille "noodles." Not only are these fibers super absorbant, but they also snag a tremendous amount of debris.
The Soggy Doggy Super Shammy absorbs up to seven times its weight in water and is made from the same textured, ultrafine strands of woven chenille. Both are machine washable and ultra soft for delicate dog paws and bellies.
We give both the Soggy Doggy Doormat and Super Shammy our highest recommendation.
Read our full review of Soggy Doggy products and view photos of our trial.
Most detergents are designed to leave something behind: fabric softener, fragrance, or optical brighteners. This residue is a breeding ground for dirt and bacteria and can be toxic to pets.

Dog Breed Cookie Cutters from Fancy Flours Technically, not a product review. However, we discovered these barking good dog breed cookie cutters at Fancy Flours and we believe in sharing great finds. They don't have all dog breeds, but they do have: Scottish Terrier, Poodle, Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever, Bull Dog, Corgi, Chihuahua, Dachshund, St Bernard, Collie, Greyhound, Schnauzer, Irish Setter dog cookie cutters. Plus, they have a small puppy dog, heart, fire hydrant, dog house, paw print, and three sizes of dog bones!

Silver Tails Bottoms Up Harness from Quaker Pet Group I was contacted before the launch of this new line of senior pet products to see if I'd be willing to try the new Silver Tails Bottoms Up harness with Tucker. At 14 years old, Tucker already had two ACL surgeries under his belt and suffered from arthritis, so I readily agreed to give the product a try. Unfortunately, before the Bottoms Up harness arrived, Tucker had passed away.
Our other senior dog, Lucy, has had no joint surgery, but does suffer from arthritic hips. I decided that 13 year old Lucy could give it a go. If your senior dog has had joint surgery and you walk your dog, we definitely recommend the Silver Tails Bottoms Up Harness from the Quaker Pet Group. Learn more and follow Silver Tails Senior Pet Products on Facebook.
Read the Talking Dogs full review - with dog photos - of the Silver Tails Bottoms Up Harness here.
The Rubit Dog Tag Clip We love the Rubit (roo-bit) Dog Tag Clip and give it our highest recommendation! No more broken fingernails trying to change dog tags from one collar to another, not to mention frustration. Simply add your dog's tags to the slip ring on the Rubit, then easily clip the Rubit to the collar. We ordered ours from the Rubit Dog Tag Clip online store. They are reasonably priced (our large ones were $7.95), available in small, medium and large sizes, plus a nice variety of colors.

2012 Dog Lover Calendars Benefit Animals Technically, not a review, but a small sampling of the barking good dog lover calendars available this year that benefit dog rescue and advocacy organizations.
We love The Sanctuary for Senior Dogs' Graying Muzzles 2012 - a celebration of old dogs - calendar (shown above). Celebrate senior dogs all year long with this beautiful calendar. Order your Graying Muzzles 2012 directly from The Sanctuary for Senior Dogs web site. They're just $10 each. What a bargain!
Another Talking Dogs favorite is this one from John Woestendiek and Ace over at OhMiDog and Travels with Ace: Dogs on the Road. The Travels with Ace calendar recaptures some of the more memorable moments from their year and 27,000 miles of travel across America, about half of that spent tracing the route John Steinbeck, 50 years ago, took with his poodle in Travels with Charley.
It's an 18 month calendar priced at $25, plus $3 shipping. Not only is OhMiDog one of my favorite dog blogs, I traveled with John and Ace vicariously for that year and became addicted to reading about their adventures. Gotta have it; already ordered one. It comes autographed by John Woestendiek, author of Dog, Inc., which happens to be one of Talking Dogs favorite dog books.
The Sula Foundation's 2012 Pit Bulls of New Orleans Calendar is a beauty! You'll find the pit bulls of New Orleans seated on stoops, relaxing on porches, hanging out at local shops, along with very cool graffiti art.
Preview the calendar and then fetch your copy. Cost is $18 plus $4.95 shipping. You can also purchase your 2012 Pit Bulls of New Orleans Calendar at the Sula Foundation web site.
Pinups for Pitbulls calendars are retro-fabulous and they sell out quickly! This year Pinups for Pitbulls, an advocacy and public education group working on behalf of bully dogs, has devoted their 2012 calendar, titled Our FUTgotten Heroes, to women who advocate for Pit Bull type dogs along with their adorable dogs. With a very World War II retro military theme. Quite swanky!
This is just a very small sample of all the wonderful 2012 dog lover calendar available. The sale of each one benefits an organization working hard to make the world a better place one dog at a time.
Read the original Talking Dogs 2012 Dog Lover Calendar review here.
ASPCA Microsherpa Bolster Gusset Bed is designed to protect your pet dog from cold and hard surfaces. I would definitely recommend the ASPCA Microsherpa Bolster Gusset Dog Bed from Walmart. It's egg-crate foam interior is kind to Lucy's geriatric and arthritic joints. The price was definitely right.

with its low profile and firm support relieving pressure pints, the Petmade Orthopedic Foam dog bed is ideal for older, arthritic or recovering pets.
Read Talking Dogs full review of the Petmate Orthopedic Bed.
Cozy Craft Pet Beds are pretty cool. These have a double bolster design and are filled with high-loft polyfil stuffing. These beautiful beds have high quality microsuede fabric with some piping and are certainly attractive. Available in four attractive colors.

#109: Dino Cazares of Fear Factory
Dino Cazares took a break from consuming young children to be our guest on the podcast one week ahead of the release of Fear Factory's new album Genexus. While Godless goes a little gaga, we talked about the storied history of the band, the troubles with labels and producers and their struggles with the limelight and keeping band members happy. We also find out the fate of Divine Heresy and some of Dino's other projects.
We take another listener call about festivals, since that topic seems to be on the top of everyone's mind as they watch the downfall of the Mayhem Festival. We discuss whether any changes need to be made to some static festivals such as Maryland Deathfest, and whether changing the formula would give the appearance that they're "selling out."
Fear Factory – "Dielectric"
Amorphis – "Death of a King"
#108: The Legendary Philip H. Anselmo (Pantera, Down, Superjoint Ritual)
Philip H. Anselmo makes another appearance on this episode (he first joined us way back on episode sixteen!), right after his 47th birthday, and on the verge of taking Superjoint Ritual on a full tour for the first time in a decade. We talk about getting older and how it changes your perspective on conflicts with people, such as Tom G. Warrior and former band members. We also find out the status of his autobiography in the wake of the passing of his co-author and co-founder of the Housecore Horror Film Festival, Corey Mitchell.
Eyal Levi drops in for another segment of 'One Minute to Midnight,' in which unsigned bands get to be critiqued by a professional engineer, producer and all around talented dude. Event Horizon and Dissident Regressor are on the chopping block this month -- you can judge, or just listen to us tear them to shreds (actually, we attempt to help them make their music better)!
We also take another listener call and discuss who could make a good concept record (should Slipknot even contemplate trying to pull something like that off?), why Mayhem Fest founder Kevin Lyman had to apologize for calling metal "fat, old and bald," and more.

#107: Hatebeak's Blake Harrison and Mark Sloan
Blake Harrison and Mark Sloan, the human portion of the parrot-fronted extreme metal band Hatebeak, guest this week on the podcast. We find out if they really think metal vocalists are obsolete, why this project should be taken seriously and why it probably shouldn't be at the same time. We learn about the collaboration's history and grill Blake about whether we'll have to wait another couple decades before the new Pig Destroyer album comes out (and if it will be a D00M album).
We take a listener question about streaming services and how bands make money via Spotify, Google Play and Apple Music. Where does the money go? Why do those royalty checks for metal bands barely buy a happy meal let alone pay a mortgage?

The weekend before Halloween, we headed up to Richmond for a family weekend of Monticello and Pumpkin picking at the Ashbury Berry Farm, just like last year. They have an "all you can carry" policy, so Daddy started flexing his muscles bright and early.
...and visited the fish pond..
...before jumping on our hayride out to the patch.
These kiddos had so much fun, Evelyn especially had a blast pointing and scouting at each and every pumpkin and then declaring it "beautiful" or "icky."
We came pretty late in the season, so the pumpkins were a bit more picked over than last year, but we still found some keepers.
And again, just like last year, Mommy got a leeeeeetle ambitious about how many pumpkins Daddy could carry.
But, he managed to carry them all the requisite three steps - and we had ourselves a haul!
After some fantastic homemade donuts, Evelyn declared it was time to go, and she showed Daddy just how easy it was to carry those pumpkins.
...and this post had a lot of pictures. I know.


Refined Brunello Cucinelli materials marry with the casual style of the Travelwear line, dedicated to moments of relaxation and free time. Pure cashmere yarn guarantees superior comfort to wear and is ideal particularly in the first part of the season. Narrow rib knitting adds a classic touch to the style of the garment, which is completed with a precious detail: the zipper pull is embellished with a fine silk-blend crêpe ribbon embroidered with rows of shiny monili. The fit is comfortable and relaxed.
Two-ply manufacturing of the cashmere brings out the refined qualities of the natural fiber and makes the yarn lightweight and extremely soft. A balanced weight is maintained by the garment and is particularly suitable for the first part of the season.


The caller said that there was a warrant out for my arrest because of social security matter! I know this is a scam but some older people may not. DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE ANY INFORMATION!! THEY ARE TRYING TO STEAL YOUR SS NUMBER!

Historiae by Tacitus
Translated by Alfred John Church and William Jackson Brodribb
Book V Chapter 23: The Batavian Uprise. A naval demonstration[AD 70]
Civilis was seized by a desire to make a naval demonstration. He manned all the triremes that he had, and such vessels as were propelled by a single bank of oars. To these he added a vast number of boats. He put in each three or four hundred men, the usual complement of a Liburnian galley. With these were the captured vessels, in which, picturesquely enough, plaids of various colours were used for sails. The place selected was an expanse of water, not unlike the sea, where the mouth of the Mosa serves to discharge the Rhine into the ocean. The motive for equipping this fleet was, to say nothing of the natural vanity of this people, a desire to intercept, by this alarming demonstration, the supplies that were approaching from Gaul. Cerialis, more in astonishment than alarm, drew up his fleet in line, and, though inferior in numbers, it had the advantage in the experience of the crews, the skill of the pilots, and the size of the vessels. The Romans had the stream with them, the enemy's vessels were propelled by the wind. Thus passing each other, they separated after a brief discharge of light missiles. Civilis attempted nothing more, and retired to the other side of the Rhine. Cerialis mercilessly ravaged the Island of the Batavi, but, with a policy familiar to commanders, left untouched the estates and houses of Civilis. Meanwhile, however, the autumn was far advanced, and the river, swollen by the continual rains of the season, overflowed the island, marshy and low-lying as it is, till it resembled a lake. There were no ships, no provisions at hand, and the camp, which was situated on low ground, was in process of being carried away by the force of the stream.

Xiaomi: New CEO talks about market launch in Europe
Apr 29, 2017 Chinese company, Europe, Facebook, Hugo Barra, mobile phone service, USA, Wang Xiang, Xiaomi
The new CEO of Xiaomi spoke in an interview about the expansion of the market to Europe. According to him, the whole thing could go over the stage in the foreseeable future.
After Hugo Barra, who previously overlooked international expansion, left the Chinese company and is now working on Facebook, Wang Xiang has taken the helm and became the new CEO. In an interview, he talked about future plans to expand and develop new markets.
When asked whether and when Xiaomi is coming to Europe or to the USA, Wang responded with similar words as Hugo Barra. It is planned to use these countries and continents with their own equipment, but still, much work is still needed. Everything should be perfect for market launch and all possible problems should be clarified in advance and avoided in the ideal case completely. The Group does not want to get involved in a quick-start action, which may well end. In particular, the various radio frequencies and the adaptations for the mobile phone service providers are still causing headaches, according to Wang.
The CEO will be talking about the next two years as the time for a market launch in the USA. Whether this is true for Europe is unclear. In general, the interview talked more about the plans for the United States than about those for Europe.
The first steps have already been taken
Already in the past, there were several times the rumors that a local market launch of Xiaomi is imminent. In the middle of 2015, the Mi Store went to the start, in which some products of the Chinese company could also be ordered to Europe. In addition, the Polish Mi Store finally launched at the end of last year, which is where most of the interested parties from Poland can order all the smartphones from the manufacturer. An early EU start would, therefore, be quite conceivable.

Cyprus predicts best year for tourism
The Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CTO) is predicting that 2017 will be a record-breaking year for tourism after reporting a three per cent year-on-year increase in visitors from January to March.
Cyprus received 99,503 UK visitors from January to March 2017 – a 3.6 per cent increase compared to the 96,009 UK visitors to Cyprus from the same period in 2016.
This year is expected to be Cyprus' biggest year yet for tourism, following an historic 3.2 million arrivals in 2016. The UK is the top market for inbound tourism to Cyprus, accounting for more than 40 per cent of total arrivals.
'Upward trend'
Orestis Rossides, UK director of CTO, said: "Visitor figures for 2017 are looking positive and this upward trend is only set to continue.
"Many travellers are already turning to Cyprus for its year-round sunshine, stunning landscapes, world-class spas and range of activities."
Coinciding with the latest announcement, CTO has appointed Rooster PR to manage its press office and deliver a series of creative campaigns in the UK. The agency will also be responsible for all business-to-business and business-to-consumer, pro-active and re-active media enquiries.
Rossides added: "The team has hit the ground running already and we're looking forward to working closely with them on some exciting campaigns to further maximise awareness of, and bookings to, Cyprus."

USF2000 New Rolling Chassis Offered at $51,800
By Ashley McCubbin | March 6, 2016
All focus is currently on the upcoming 2016 Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda season, but it doesn't mean that you can't start thinking about the future.
Series officials announced that the carbon-chassis for 2017, titled Tatuus USF-17, will be priced at $51,800. The new chassis is set to be run over the next five seasons, replacing the Van Dieman chassis that has been around since 1999.
"We are delighted to be able to expand the included components from the package that was originally announced at the PRI show last December," Dan Andersen, owner and CEO of Anderson Promotions, which promotes the series. "While we are excited about the prospects for the current season, we are equally enthusiastic about offering our competitors such an advanced equipment package in 2017."
The new chassis meets FIA safety standards, with a variety of features ranging from side impact panels, front and rear impact structures, HANS-compliant head restraint, front and rear wheel tethers, upgraded uprights and improved front bulkhead structure. The chassis builders have also worked at the aero package, beginning with the sidepods and engine cover, to the front and rear wing end plates, nose cone, front cover, carbon composite wings, and an adjustable twin-element rear wing.
Other features of the new chassis include a PFC four-piston brake package, Cosworth Omega L2 Plus data system with Cosworth CFW 227 steering wheel, a Magneti Marelli electronic gear shift system, aluminum American Racing Technomesh wheels and a stainless steel exhaust system.
The prototype is set to be unveiled at a special ceremony on the Saturday before the Indianapolis 500, with testing beginning in June on both road courses and ovals.
Elite Engines is set to continue building the motors, offering several different options for racers.
USF200 is an important part of INDYCAR as its part of the Mazda Road to Indy, which is a ladder system that allows drivers to go from racing go-karts to the Verizon IndyCar Series. The system includes the USF2000, Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires, Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires, and the Verizon IndyCar Series. The series offers scholarship prizes at each level to assist in drivers moving forward.
In hopes of gaining immediate interest, the first 17 orders will receive a $2,000 discount on the chassis/engine package and a free set of Cooper rain tires, which are valued at $1,045.

Young people and families (5)

More graduates and less alcohol consumption among young people in 2020
With a pandemic ongoing, the year 2020 reshaped the lives of young people in the Netherlands. In secondary education, relatively more students were promoted and almost all final examination students graduated. Fewer young people were at work; fewer girls between the ages of 12 and 18 used alcohol on occasion, and there was less excessive drinking among young men. The number of young people receiving youth care declined; on the other hand, the number of reported child abuse cases went up. Furthermore, compared to the previous year, in 2020 a smaller share of young people reported they were happy and satisfied with life. These are some of the results Statistics Netherlands (CBS) describes in the Annual Report of the National Youth Monitor 2021, published today.
Caribbean Netherlands Student Survey
Do young people in the Caribbean Netherlands ever encounter bullying? What do they do in their free time? What are their future plans after graduation? This and more is presented in the Caribbean Netherlands Student Survey, held for the first time at the end of 2020. The survey forms part of the National Youth Monitor, compiled by Statistics Netherlands (CBS) in collaboration with the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS).
Annual Report Youth Monitor: key indicators 2015-2019
In 2019, more young people were receiving youth care than in 2015. On the other hand, there were relatively lower shares of young children in families living on income support, third-year secondary general students at VMBO, and young registered crime suspects. Youth labour participation was relatively higher while alcohol consumption remained unchanged in this period. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this based on figures regarding key indicators and the use of youth care, published today in the Annual Report of the National Youth Monitor 2020.
1 in 3 women with technical degrees work in engineering
Fewer young, highly educated people have completed technical studies compared to ten years ago. Among these engineering graduates, the number of men is four times as high as the number of women. According to Statistics Netherlands, nearly 30 percent of female and almost half of male engineering graduates start working in technical occupations.


Johnnie Mozzocco fields questions after a screening of her feature-length film Found Objects in Building 17.
Part-time Lane instructor Johnnie Mazzocco screened her first feature-length film, Found Objects, at Lane on April 15. According to the closing slide of the film it is "dedicated to the women of the world who create, and especially to the ones who don't." The Torch sat down with Mazzocco, who had created five short films previously, to discuss her accomplishment.
The Torch: Had you worked with the actors before?
Mazzocco: No, I felt really thankful to find these people. When I cast them, I was fortunate to find people who really embodied what I was after. I gave them a really elaborate back story on each character and let that percolate during the early summer. That was the bulk of my directing. We didn't rehearse anything.
Q: When did filming start?
A: It started in September. We did 12 straight days in the motel. It was a very smooth production. The house-burning scene was planned months in advance.
Q: Did you just stay by a police scanner and wait for a fire nearby or did you burn the house yourself?
A: No, the fire department has a program in which they burn houses for the purposes of training. It was McKenzie Fire and Rescue that helped me with that. I was in touch with them way in advance to make sure it would be safe. They said we could start out as close as we wanted, but I think they knew the heat would keep us back.
Q: What was your inspiration for making this film?
A: In grad school, I got really interested in social systems and institutions and how that shapes who we are — especially the nuclear family. I became very fascinated with being a creative woman and raising a family and what that means. I think unrealized creative impulse is very destructive to an individual. It comes out of us in other ways when it's stifled. I think it makeus physically ill, mentally ill and spiritually ill, and that projects on to the people around us. I also think the opposite is true. I think that if we have a healthy creative outlet, then we can heal the people around us.
Q: Are you going to submit this film to any festivals?
A: I've been thinking about it. Moondance is one for sure. There's another one in London called Raindance. I have this feeling that European audiences will like it, so I'm really going to explore the international festivals.
Q: How many short films did you make before you moved on to the feature-length film?
A: I have made about five short films. They're in a box somewhere and they might not ever come out.
Q: Do you have any other work coming?
A: I'm starting some beginning phases of the next film and also a web series. I'm getting ready to say goodbye to this project and these characters.

President Obama's political New Year's resolutions
In his second term, President Obama is pledging to plunge ahead with his domestic policy agenda after a heated fiscal cliff showdown that seemingly set the tone
President Obama speaks exclusively with NBC's David Gregory on Meet the Press.
Jan. 3, 2013, 10:16 PM UTC
In his second term, President Obama is pledging to plunge ahead with his domestic policy agenda after a heated fiscal cliff showdown that seemingly set the tone for 2013 as yet another contentious year of battles between Democrats and Republicans. After pushing through the Affordable Care Act which became his signature piece of legislation of his first four years, Obama said he is planning to move on to immigration, energy policies, and gun violence as his future legacy in the Oval Office.
In an exclusive interview with NBC's Meet the Press Sunday, Obama prioritized immigration for his second term. "I've said that fixing our broken immigration system is a top priority. I will introduce legislation in the first year to get that done. I think we have talked about it long enough. We know how we can fix it. We can do it in a comprehensive way that the American people support. That's something we should get done."
An Obama administration official told The Huffington Post that the president plans to push for immigration reform starting this month, and confirmed that the expected standoffs over the nation's deficit reductions "are unlikely to drain momentum from other priorities."
The president specified and promised to introduce gun control legislation in the first year of his second term. As students of Sandy Hook Elementary school returned to classes for the first time since the deadly shooting, two Democratic Congresswomen introduced legislation banning high-capacity gun magazines, aligning with the president's focus on gun violence in the country.
President Obama told NBC's David Gregory, "...something fundamental in America has to change. And all of us have to do some soul searching, including me as president that we allow a situation in which 20 precious small children are getting gunned down in a classroom. And I've been very clear that, you know, an assault rifle ban, you know, banning these high capacity clips, background checks, that there are a set of issues that I have historically supported and one will continue to support."
Although the president faces a two-month deadline to put an end to the delayed sequestration cuts and to resolve government funding ahead a looming debt ceiling limit, Obama added two more priorities to his list--energy and the environment, and stabilizing and growing the economy.
"We've got a huge opportunity around energy. We are producing more energy and America can become an energy exporter. How do we do that in a way that also deals with some of the environmental challenges that we have at the same time?" The president said the country would need to figure out a way to produce and export more energy while tackling with the changing environment, but did not expand on effective energy policies.
As evident from the fiscal cliff battle, the president was resolute in negotiations that he would prevent the automatic tax hikes that would take place on Jan. 1. He explained how he would stabilize and grow the economy. "Part of that is deficit reduction. Part of it is also making sure that we're investing, for example, in rebuilding our infrastructure, which is broken." The president added that rebuilding roads, bridges and schools could boost our economy,with a combination of smart government spending and deficit reduction measures will mitigate the budget deficit.
Obama's ability to accomplish his resolutions may be hindered by the ongoing legislative clashes in Congress and roadblocks from Republicans the president experienced during his first term. While bipartisanship is promised from both sides of the aisle as the slate gets wiped clean with a newly sworn in Congress, it is unclear if Obama's administration will be able to get past the continuing gridlock in Washington.

I would suggest either using the debugger, or sprinkling some MessageBox calls in to see what values your program uses. In particular, ensure the ini file is where your code is looking (TARGETDIR + "SampleSetup.ini" should likely be TARGETDIR ^ "SampleSetup.ini" instead), check the return code from GetProfString, and see what szItemName is after the call.

Xola is the tiny new 15-seater taqueria from chef/owner Mali Fernandez (formerly of Embrujo Flamenco) that opened this summer on Queen East in the Beaches.
Inside, the modest sized dining room is cozy and smartly sparse. The decor features hanging filament lights and colourful graffiti from Mexican mural artist, Andre Castro. On a recent weeknight when I stopped in, the windows were steaming up and the place was packed to the brim as locals streamed in for take-out at a regular pace.
Fernandez originally hails from the Xalapa region of Veracruz on the Gulf coast and opened this restaurant to showcase the flavours of the Mexican madre tierra (motherland). The menu features an array of snacks, ceviches and taquitos. There's traditional guacamole ($8) but also four innovative variations like say, a goat cheese, sundried tomato and poblano pepper studded version.
Taquitos estilo Baja ($15) come three toasty tortillas per order topped with golden fried pieces of fish. They're garnished with slaw, avocado, jalape単o salsa and habanero mayo for perfect balance of hot and cold; creamy and crunchy.
Chile Poblanos ($10) are a hearty vegetarian dish that sees black bean and queso fresco-stuffed peppers bathed in a saucy roasted tomato caldillo.
Today, the off-menu specials include steaming bowls of Pozole, a rich stew that could be a hearty meal on its own. It comes topped with lettuce that wilts into the broth and is served with cold garnishes like crunchy radish slices, chopped onion, house made salsa and lime wedges.
At brunch and lunch (from 11am to 2pm), Xola offers Mexican standards like chilaquilles ($9), tamale trios ($9) and variety of burritos ($7.50). Coffee is supplied by neighbouring roaster, Higher Grounds, and horchata ($4) is available along with Mexican sodas.
Xola is open Wednesday through Sunday for dinner starting at 5pm. Take-out orders are encouraged since seating is so limited.

Groovy Tuesday: Maxine Nightingale's "Right Back Where We Started From"
Every Tuesday, the Analog Kid blog goes back in time and features some of the best groovy R&B/soul songs from the '60s, '70s, and '80s. Sometimes you'll hear songs from individual artists or from a specific year, and other times you'll get an entire full-length classic LP ripped directly from the Analog Kid's vast vinyl vault. Warning: by R&B/soul, I also mean disco. I could go all KC & The Sunshine Band on your ass at any given moment, so just be ready!
Maxine Nightingale went as high as #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April of 1976 with "Right Back Where We Started From," and she was probably just as surprised as anyone. After the initial recording sessions, she hated the track and wanted it released under a pseudonym. Maxine eventually relented and allowed the use of her real name, and her reward was a Top 5 hit on both sides of the Atlantic.
When "Right Back Where We Started From" began its climb up the UK charts in 1975, Nightingale quickly started work on an entire album. The resulting record was a great showcase for her powerful voice, developed during years of stage performances in musicals like Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar. I am especially fond of her soulful take on John Lennon's "Bless You," a deep cut from his 1974 album Walls And Bridges.
Of course, Nightingale would return to the Top 10 in 1979 with the classic ballad "Lead Me On." I featured that album on a Groovy Tuesday last November, and you can check it out here:

Trivia time: two different songs occupied the Billboard #1 slot while "Right Back Where We Started From" sat at #2 in April of 1976. What were those two songs? Check out the bonus tracks for the answer!
And yes, I owned all 3 45's!

As published on ECA website (full article available here).
Volunteers from Design Informatics and Edinburgh tech communities taught 23 people to code an Android app as part of a Guinness World Record attempt for the most people learning to code on Saturday 13th June.
Edinburgh College of Art's Centre for Design Informatics was one of 30 venues hosting the attempt to break the record for the largest number of people simultaneously learning to code an Android app. Over 1,000 people took part in the record attempt across the UK. The app-a-thon was organised by BCSWomen, part of BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT.
The event aimed to break the record, but also to encourage young people, particularly girls, to consider a career in IT. Currently, women account for just 16% of IT professionals; a figure that has fallen significantly in recent years.
Each appathon session was led by a woman who taught participants how to build Android apps using MIT AppInventor, with Edinburgh's attempt led by Debbie Maxwell, from Design Informatics, ECA. One of the aims of the event was to encourage girls to consider a career in IT by demonstrating that women can and do IT. The sessions were a mixture of talks, activities and hands-on coding.
The attempt was organised and run by volunteers, helping out not only with programming queries but as official stewards, timekeepers and witnesses as required for the Guinness World Record attempt. Helpers came from the local business community as well as ECA, the University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh Napier University.


War for the Planet of the Apes, the third instalment in this highly successful reboot of the Planet of the Apes franchise, finds Andy Serkis reprising his starring role as ape leader Caesar and introduces Woody Harrelson as the primary antagonist simply credited as The Colonel.
With a run time of around 140 minutes, the film had the potential to wander into the dreaded "overblown" territory that comes with many later franchise entries. Thankfully, lithe, focused storytelling keeps War firmly on track, and every minute of the film feels absolutely essential.
The film kicks off with the apes being hunted mercilessly by humans, and the long-bubbling hatred and fear from both sides is keenly and immediately felt. At the core of this bloody entanglement are Caesar and The Colonel. An older, exhausted Caesar still believes that apes and humans can and should co-exist peacefully, while The Colonel believes only in annihilation, and will stop at nothing to realise his vision. Much blood is spilled and many lives are lost on both sides as pressure and despair soon explodes past the point of no return for Caesar and the apes; all-out war appears to be the only solution for their survival.
To say much more about the plot or the various character arcs would be to risk spoiling parts of this behemoth, and so I shall instead shift focus on what makes the film work so well. Firstly, the story is expertly crafted and emotionally charged. This viewer found that dreaded emotive hijacker known as "lump in the throat" making appearances throughout the film, and it only got more severe as the picture ventured on. The deep connections between the apes transcend their more primitive language capabilities – Caesar is one of few who can formulate even basic sentences – and such tight bonds are developed so delicately and organically that, as the apes venture on, very real anxiety and panic hits home whenever one of them is placed in a dire situation.
Then we have the visuals. My goodness, the visuals. After watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes back in 2014, I was utterly convinced that we'd reached our apex in the realm of CG animation; I'm more than happy to concede defeat after this visual spectacle. The apes are jaw-droppingly realistic thanks to the technical wizards over at Weta, but it's more than these primates. Director Matt Reeves, back at the helm here following Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and cinematographer Michael Seresin (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) have created a film that is vastly beauteous, from the snow-covered landscapes to the grimey, earthy settings later on. I'm utterly lost for words – it was all incredible to look at.
Tying in seamlessly with the amazing visuals are the action sequences. The bane of many a moviegoer is the oft-imbalanced relationship between action and story. There are quite a few movies out there filled with visual delights, but so many fall short of the mark when it comes to utilising action as a means of advancing the narrative. War shows 'em how it's done.
This is a deeply emotional film born out of a remarkable story, a strong screenplay and wonderful acting, with Serkis again showing why he's the king of the CG-character, motion-capture castle. Harrelson guns his part with ease, to the point where it feels as though it was written solely with him in mind. The casting – which includes Steve Zahn as memorable new character Bad Ape, young Amiah Miller as human girl Nova, and Karin Konoval, back as motherly ape Maurice – must be praised across the board.
The score by composer Michael Giacchino (Up, Jurassic World, Rogue One) and sound design was spectacular. As with Christopher Nolan's recent Dunkirk, a superb visual and aural masterclass, War wonderfully showcases just how much all things audio have to play when it comes to viewer immersion.
It's the cohesion of all of these interconnected parts that serves War for the Planet of the Apes so brilliantly. It's a perfect piece of cinema; one that some are saying may well be up there with the greatest third instalments of all time. I'm not going to argue with that.

Herdade do Peso is located in Pedrogão within the Vidigueira commune in the Alentejo region. Herdade do Peso which translates to Estate of the Weight, was named decades ago by local farmers that came to the area to weigh their wheat. Traditionally known for wheat and olive plantations, the municipality of Vidigueira is now recognized for its exceptional wines.
Twelve distinct terroirs and seven grape varieties provide the opportunity for the winemaker to craft premium wines. Herdade de Peso wines have their own style and differ from the rest of the region due to their aromatic intensity, elegance, freshness and great ageing potential.
LUIS CABRAL DE ALMEIDA
In 1964, Luís Cabral de Almeida was born into a family for who wine has always been something more than just a simple pleasure. Although his origins date back to a farm in Viseu, deep in the Dão region, from where, in 1991 his Sogrape career was launched, and in spite of his first vintage taking place in the Douro, from where he spent the next 10 years in Argentina, his current challenge, has brought him to the Alentejo,
"a region that has always fascinated me for its sense of horizon."
A man of few prejudices, he is well suited to the Alentejo region which warmly welcomed him in 2012. Luís Cabral de Almeida first studied Agricultural Engineering at Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD). Deciding to devote himself to oenology, he completed a post-graduate degree from the Charles Stuart University, Australia, with extensive technical training in Bordeaux. Luís always maintains that
"the oenologist's primary role is to interpret nature."
Stemming from his education, experience and upbringing, his belief is that "oenology increasingly depends on the vine", so that it becomes essential to work closely with viticulture. With his ability to communicate his vision to everyone he works with, his drive to remain well informed about market trends is a reality which he embraces.
"An oenologist cannot live in a bubble, isolated from the world."
It was his recent experience in Argentina, as head of Finca Flichman wines, which ultimately made clear to him the relevance of good relations and the relative insignificance of distances. Luís comments,
"I'm undoubtedly a regionalist, but my region is Portugal!"
Childhood visits to cousins in the Alentejo always captivated him, as did the drawn-out hunts on land adjacent to Herdade to Peso. All these many and varied experiences basically translate into the hundreds of kilometres travelled, sometimes culminating in a typical Alentejan meal, to achieve in a profound knowledge and affection for this region.
Married, and a father of three, the youngest incidentally a Mendozan, the Sogrape Vinhos oenologist is passionate about wine and food. Having taken up the reins of Herdade do Peso in 2012, Luís Cabral de Almeida is also an avid skiing enthusiast, as well as enjoying tennis, golf and spending time in the sun with family and friends. But although he won't find much snow in the Alentejo, the rest of his history would indicate that he is well suited to this region and that Herdade do Peso will make him feel right at home.

Vinha do Monte displays all of the authenticity and passion of the Alentejo, and reflects the exuberant and captivating wines of Herdade do Peso.

Section of Nottingham tram track out of action over the Bank Holiday
A shuttle bus will be pressed into action past the Forest Rec and the road will be shut to traffic
Isaac AsheDeputy Digital Development Editor
Mount Hooton Road in Nottingham (Image: Google Streetview)
Work to replace tracks on the tramlines near Forest Recreation Ground will take place over this Bank Holiday and into next week with travellers advised to allow extra time for their journeys.
The essential works will mean changes to services and a road closure while work takes place along the section at the junction of Mount Hooton Road and Bentinck Road, south of The Forest tram stop, say tram operator NET .
The main works take place over five days from Saturday, August 26, until Wednesday, August 30.
Train travellers warned to expect a busy bank holiday
Trams from Hucknall and Phoenix Park will run to and from The Forest, with services from Clifton South and Toton Lane operating to and from Old Market Square.
A shuttle bus will operate between The Forest and Royal Centre for customers to complete cross-city journeys.
A section of Mount Hooton Road will be closed to through traffic after Forest Grove. Traffic from Forest Road East and Waverley Street will be diverted via Forest Road West and Southey Street.
Stephanie Moss-Pearce, NET's marketing manager, said: "Although every effort is being made to minimise the impact on our customers, we would advise people to allow a little extra time for their journeys.
Trams in Nottingham
"Trams will continue to operate either side of the works and popular facilities such as our park and ride sites will remain open as usual."
A slightly altered timetable will be in operation during the works, with trams running from every 10 minutes between 7am to 9pm on the Saturday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and between 7am and 7pm on the Sunday and Monday.

Trams will run from every 15 minutes at all other times during the five days and a full weekday service is expected to resume on Thursday, August 31.
Mike Mabey, NET's head of operations, said: "We'll be replacing both northbound and southbound sections of track which have been in use since we first started operating in 2004.
"It is essential work that is all part of our track renewal programme and it has been purposely timed to coincide with the August Bank Holiday period to minimise the impact on customers and road users, when both the tram network and local roads are a little quieter."

Crossbreeding between Madura cattle with superior male female cattle other nations (exotic cattle) often occurs in some area. These crosses will have consequences that germplasm conservation cow Madura Madura Island will be no longer valid, except in Sapudi Island. According to FAO (2000) that, animal genetic resources native will tend to become extinct as a result of the new market demand (massive operations), uncontrolled crossing, turn breeds (replacement of the nation's cattle already exists with the nation's new cow) and the activities of agricultural mechanization (replacement of power use cow with engine power to cultivate farmland) .Sapi Madura breed (race) local cattle that formed as a result of natural insulation and environmental influences, so as to have uniformity characteristics that stand out among other local breeds of beef cattle in Indonesia. With the contribution of genetic traits zebu cattle as tolerant of stress due to climate and durability against ticks as well as natural selection and rigorous environment over a period of time, then a cow cattle Madura become a nation that has very high adaptability to the environment. Besides, Madura cattle have a good response to the improvement of feed and resistant to feed with a high content of crude fiber (Soehadji, 1993). Benefits of using mtDNA according Duryadi (1994), among others (1) As genetic markers in intraspecific variability studies (inter population) that can provide information both qualitatively and quantitatively; (2) Can be used to track the relatively new events such as the study of natural hybridization between two subspecies; (3) Can be used for a historical reconstruction of genealogy matrilinier a species or between existing populations; (4) to reconstruct phyilogenic of several species that are close together. This study uses the D-loop region fragment Madura cattle to get the data so that it can determine the genetic diversity between individual nucleotide composition of Madura cattle and identify its phenotypes. Such data can be used to identify the genetic purity of Madura cattle that exist in the area of Sapudi island, Sumenep, Pamekasan Pamekasan, Sampang, Bangkalan. The sequence analysis of mtDNA D-loop region found 50 sites of genetic diversity that is Madura cattle from Pamekasan substitution mutation, there were 15 transitions, 9 transversions substitution mutation. Sampang Madura cattle have 13 substitution mutations transitions, 8 transversions substitution mutation. Madura cattle from Sumenep have 2substitution transitions mutation, 2 transversions substitution mutations and 1 deletion. Despite this high level of variation in this study did not result in a change in phenotype as D-Loop region is non-coding regions that are not expressed.
