Cheeese – Reingefallen! war eine Unterhaltungssendung mit versteckter Kamera bei Nickelodeon, die ab dem 13. August 2012 auf Nickelodeon in den Niederlanden, Belgien, Dänemark, Schweden und der Schweiz ausgestrahlt wurde. Später startete die Sendung auch auf Nickelodeon in Norwegen und Polen. Vom 13. August 2012 bis zum 15. November 2012 lief sie zudem auf Nickelodeon Österreich und Nickelodeon Deutschland und wurde dort mit Beginn der zweiten Staffel ab dem 13. Mai 2013 wieder ausgestrahlt.

Moderation
Die Moderation wird für jedes Land von einem dort bekannten Moderator bzw. einer dort bekannten Moderatorin übernommen.

Deutschland und Österreich

In Deutschland und Österreich moderierte Franziska Alber die erste Staffel. Sie stand für Nickelodeon bereits für Das Haus Anubis und den Kinofilm Das Haus Anubis – Pfad der 7 Sünden als Delia Seefeld als auch bei Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2011 als Moderatorin vor der Kamera.

Mit Beginn der zweiten Staffel setzte man in Deutschland und Österreich auf eine abwechselnde Moderation. Patrick Baehr und Julia Schäfle, die durch den Auftritt als Tom Kepler und Liv Sonntag in Hotel 13 den Nickelodeon-Zuschauern bekannt wurden, moderieren abwechselnd durch die Sendung. Für Nickelodeon moderierte Schäfle zuvor schon den deutschsprachigen Teil der Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2013.

Schweiz
Im Gegensatz zu Deutschland und Österreich entschied man sich in der Schweiz für Roman Aebischer, einen Moderator von Nickelodeon Schweiz. Zusammen mit Franziska Alber und Florian Prokop stand auch er für Nickelodeon bei den Kids' Choice Awards 2011 und 2012 als Moderator vor der Kamera.

Niederlande

In den Niederlanden setzte man auf verschiedene Moderatoren und Moderatorinnen. So waren Bart Boonstra, Iris Hesseling, Loek Beernink und Patrick Martens in dieser Funktion tätig. Martens ist vor allem durch seine Rolle Mike Bosboom in der niederländischen Daily-Soap ZOOP bekannt, aber auch durch seine langjährige Moderation auf Nickelodeon. Ebenfalls durch seine Moderation auf Nickelodeon bekannt ist Boonstra. Sowohl Hesseling als Beernink wirkten in der Nickelodeon-Serie Het Huis Anubis als Hauptrollen (Amber Rosenbergh bzw. Nienke Martens) mit. Hesseling ist darüber hinaus auch als Moderatorin in anderen Nickelodeon-Formaten zu sehen.

Belgien
In Belgien übernahm Grietje Vanderheijden die Moderation. Den belgischen Zuschauern ist sie vor allem durch Auftritte in verschiedenen Serien bekannt; eine Serie wurde unter anderem auf Ketnet ausgestrahlt. Schon während ihres Studiums spielte sie in zahlreichen Musicals mit.

Dänemark
In Dänemark wurde das Format von Christine Milton präsentiert. Sie ist eigentlich Sängerin und hatte zuvor nicht für Nickelodeon gearbeitet.

Schweden

In Schweden wurde Cheeese von Zillah & Totte (Zillah und ihrer Schimpansenpuppe Totte) moderiert. Sie ist vor allem als Bauchrednerin bekannt und trat mit Totte erstmals 2007 bei Sweden's Got Talent auf.

Polen
In Polen moderierte der dort bekannte Schauspieler Maciej Musiał die Sendung. Er spielte in unzähligen Serien, Filmen und Theaterstücken mit und moderierte auch schon für das polnische Fernsehen.

Clips
Die Clips der Sendung wurden nicht eigens für Nickelodeon produziert, sondern stammen von der kanadischen Unterhaltungsshow Just for Laughs – Die Lachattacke, die seit 2000 besteht. Bis heute wurden über 3.000 Episoden produziert. In Deutschland wurde die Sendung vom 12. September 2005 bis 2. Juni 2006 auf NICK Comedy und vom 15. Januar 2007 bis 31. März 2008 erneut auf Comedy Central ausgestrahlt. Ab dem 8. Dezember 2012 war auch Das Erste mit den Originalclips auf Sendung. Darüber hinaus erfreuen sich die Clips Beliebtheit auf dem eigenen YouTube-Kanal und auf anderen Übertragungswegen (z. B. Flugzeugen, Flughäfen usw.).

Trivia
In den Niederlanden und in Belgien gab es bereits ein ähnliches Format, das Gefopt! hieß und von Patrick Martens in den Niederlanden und von Grietje Vanderheijden in Belgien moderiert wurde. Im Gegensatz zu Cheeese wurden die Clips eigens für Nickelodeon in beiden Ländern produziert. Die Längen der beiden Formate unterscheiden sich dabei: Während eine Episode von Cheeese in etwa 11 Minuten lang ist, gab es bei Gefopt! zwei Varianten, eine kurze (10 Minuten) und eine lange (25 Minuten).

Ausstrahlung

Die Ausstrahlung begann in allen Ländern, in denen die Sendung zu sehen ist (mit Ausnahme von Norwegen und Polen), am 13. August 2012 auf Nickelodeon. Lediglich die Sendezeiten variieren. Vom 29. September 2012 bis 11. November 2012 war Cheeese darüber hinaus in Deutschland und Österreich auch am Samstag und Sonntag um 20:00 zu sehen.

Home » Does Gross Negligence Trump Contract?
KEYWORDS gross negligence / security contract
A case was recently decided by the United States District Court in the State of New York regarding the impact of a claim for gross negligence on a contract's waiver of subrogation provision.
An alarm company installed a system at a home. The alarm system was connected via telephone line to the alarm company central station that monitored the system. A fire originated at the protected premises. The alarm system failed to send a signal to the central station due to the fact that the telephone service was disconnected. For a period of several months prior to the fire, the alarm company did not receive any test signals from the premises at their central station, nor did the alarm company inspect, repair or otherwise service the alarm system. The premises and property were severely damaged, and following the fire, the home owner submitted a claim to its insurance carrier, the plaintiff. The insurance company paid the claim and became subrogated to the rights of its insured.
The plaintiff alleged three causes of action claiming that the defendants owed a duty to its insured to properly examine, monitor, test, install, inspect, service, maintain and repair the alarm and telephone systems, further claiming that the damage was as a result of the fire that was caused solely by the gross negligence, carelessness and recklessness of the defendants.
The plaintiff insurance company argued that the waiver of subrogation provision found in the service contract between the alarm company and the insured was unenforceable against its claim for gross negligence, claiming that the waiver provision in the service contract should be limited to contractual claims related to the agreement and that the alarm company owed the insured a duty of reasonable care that was independent of its contractual obligations. The plaintiff abandoned its breach of warranty and breach of contract claims in light of the waiver of subrogation provision. The plaintiff insurance company also argued that public policy forbid the enforcement of a waiver of subrogation clause when the damages result from grossly negligent conduct.
The court pointed out that the relationship between the alarm company and the insured was defined by the contract wherein the insured contracted with the alarm company to install his alarm system. The court said that the alarm company did not owe the insured an independent duty to perform its contractual obligations with care and skill, simply alleging a duty of due care does not transform a breach of contract action into a claim.
In discussing the waiver of subrogation provision in the contract, the court ruled that the waiver of subrogation provision deprived the plaintiff of any standing to sue the alarm company and it was undisputed that the plaintiff became subrogated to the rights of its insured against the alarm company by virtue of paying its insured's claim.
The court pointed out that the plaintiff rightly noted that public policy in New York will not permit a defendant to insulate itself from liability for its own grossly negligent conduct via an exculpatory clause. However, at issue here was a waiver of subrogation rather than an exculpatory provision. A waiver of subrogation provision that precludes a claim for gross negligence does not violate New York public policy as it does not "exempt" a party from liability. As such, the waiver of subrogation provision in the contract was enforceable regardless of the plaintiff's allegation of gross negligence, and the defendant's motion to dismiss was granted.
Readers Ask
Q: We are a small integration company, and we have just been asked to protect a suite of medical offices. The doctor said he would like to install cameras in all of the common areas and in the examination rooms. I've indicated that I feel it would expose both the doctor and our company to potential liability. The doctor said he would like the cameras to protect himself from any unwanted claims. What is my exposure?
A: Installing cameras in an examining room would raise a serious question. The installation of cameras in a public place is certainly acceptable. Installing cameras in an area where the patients would have a reasonable expectation to the right of privacy is another issue. I believe that installing cameras in an examining room, even though the doctor may feel that it is for his or her protection, raises the question, does the patient have an expectation to the right of privacy? I feel that the patient would have, and as long as you are being engaged to monitor the premises, you would be culpable and I would advise you to refuse the assignment.

Periodontal disease (also known as periodontitis or gum disease), is a progressive condition and may lead to loss of tooth if not treated. Periodontitis begins with the irritation and inflammation of the gingival tissues that support the teeth. This inflammation is caused by the toxins in plague which lead to a continuous bacterial infection.
When in the gingival tissue, the bacterial infection colonizes, causing the formation of deep pockets between the gums and teeth. If promptly treatment is given by a periodontist, the effects caused by mild inflammation can be reversed completely. However, the bacterial infection, if left untreated, periodontal disease will start destroying the underlying jawbone and the gums, resulting in tooth loss. Sometimes, the bacteria from the infection can get into other body parts through the bloodstream.
Environmental and genetic factors are involved in the early stages of gum disease, and many times, taking preventative measures can significantly reduce the risk of having periodontitis.
Poor dental hygiene – the first step of preventing dental disease is to adopt a healthy diet and good oral hygiene. Visiting the dental clinic regularly for exams, X-rays, and cleanings are also important. Combining professional care with excellent home care will help support bony structures as well as preserve the natural dentition. When calculus and bacteria remain in the mouth, bacterial toxins affect the gums and teeth and cause periodontitis and gingivitis, which eventually lead to tooth loss.
Tobacco use – Research has shown that smoking and use of tobacco are factors that trigger the development of gum disease. Also, aside from the slow recovery experienced by smokers, they are likely to experience the build-up of calculus (tartar) on the teeth, bone loss, and deep pockets in the gingival tissue.
Genetic predisposition – up to 30% of the population may have a strong genetic predisposition to gum disease despite adhering to good oral hygiene routine. These same individuals are also 6 times more likely to develop periodontal disease than normal people without genetic predisposition. The level of susceptibility can be determined through genetic tests, and early intervention can help maintain the health of the oral cavity.
Menopause and Pregnancy – it is important to floss and brush regularly during pregnancy. Hormonal imbalance in the body can make the gum tissue more sensitive and prone to gum disease.
Poor diet and chronic stress – stress reduces the ability of the immune system to defend body. Malnutrition and poor diet also reduce the body's ability to combat periodontal infections.
Diabetes and underlying medical issues – lots of medical issues can aid the developments of gum disease including arthritis, respiratory disease, osteoporosis, and heart disease. Diabetes prevents the body from utilizing insulin, making the bacterial infection in the gum more difficult to treat.
Grinding teeth – the constant grinding of teeth can cause damage to the supporting tissue from around the teeth. When a person has gum disease, further damage to gingival tissue due to grinding can enhance the development of the disease.
Medication – lots of drugs such as anti-depressants, contraceptive pills, steroids, and heart medicines can affect the general health of the gums and teeth, making them prone to gum disease. Steroid causes the overgrowth of the gingival tissue, allowing bacteria to colonize in the gum tissue easily.
Periodontists are specialists when it comes to treating gum disease and placing dental implants. A periodontist can carry out cleaning routines in deep pockets like root planning and scaling. Also, they can prescribe antifungal and antibiotic medications to treat or hinder the development of the disease.
The periodontist, in the case of tooth loss, can perform tissue grafts to spark the growth of natural tissue, and place dental implants if one or more teeth are missing. The periodontist can also recontour any defective gingival tissue to get a more beautiful and aesthetic appearance.
Preventing periodontal disease is crucial in maintaining the health of the teeth and preserving natural dentition. You can prevent the onset, development, and recurrence of periodontal disease by working and discussing with your dentist.
Please contact our office if you have any questions about the causes and treatment of gum disease.

In Minneapolis, Eagles want to win on the line on Sunday
MINNEAPOLIS – This time, as the Eagles landed in Minneapolis for a football game, there was no cadre of cameras and swarms of media taping their every move. The fans who greeted the team in the hotel numbered in the dozens, not the hundreds. The temperatures were cold, but a solid 30-35 degrees warmer than the frigid conditions during the week leading up to Super Bowl LII in February 2018.
This time, the Eagles on Saturday arrived in Minneapolis a 3-2 football team, winners of two straight games, beginning a three-week gauntlet of games on the road against teams with a combined record of 10-5. The focus is on the Minnesota Vikings, and only the Vikings, and the essence of the matchup comes down to, as it always seems, the line of scrimmage.
In the case of the Eagles, the line of scrimmage has been a tale of two groups through five games in this 2019 regular season. On one side is an offensive line that has been – knocking on wood here – remarkably intact and expectedly outstanding. Save for the struggle in Atlanta, where even in that game the Eagles put things together and led late in the fourth quarter, the offensive line has been terrific at protecting quarterback Carson Wentz and providing holes for a running game that has the makings of something outstanding.
On the other side is the defensive line, which underwent a significant series of changes in the offseason and has had its varying degrees of ups and downs. By trading Michael Bennett and seeing Chris Long retire and flipping the switch to younger players in the form of Derek Barnett, Josh Sweat, and even a dash of Daeshon Hall to go along with veterans Brandon Graham and Vinny Curry, the Eagles changed their personality off the edge. Inside, the team invested in Malik Jackson and brought back Tim Jernigan and expected a dynamic trio along with Fletcher Cox. Injuries have marred that vision, with Jackson down after the opener with a foot injury and Jernigan one week later suffering a foot injury that has kept him out. As a result, the defensive line has taken time to find itself – maintaining excellence against the run (first in the league, 63 yards per game) and inconsistency when opposing quarterbacks drop back to pass.
Put simply, the Eagles know that to win on Sunday against a well-balanced Vikings team coming off its best win of the season over the New York Giants, they have to win at the line.
"That's usually the case," center Jason Kelce said. "We have a lot of confidence in what we do. We know they're good up front. They mix up their looks, they bring great pressure off the edge. We know it's going to be a hostile environment. All of that. This is where you need to play your best football."
The Eagles' experienced offensive line has warriored through five games with admirable durability and performance. Jason Peters and Lane Johnson have controlled the edges, and they'll need their best games here to win against Danielle Hunter and Everson Griffen. Kelce and guards Isaac Seumalo and Brandon Brooks will have their hands full against Minnesota tackles Linval Joseph and Shamar Stephen. The entire line, along with Wentz and the skill-position players, must be on the same wavelength with communication and recognition as they see Minnesota rotate through its pre-snap gyrations as they send different pressure packages.
On defense, the Eagles have the task of containing running back Dalvin Cook, who is second in the league in both rushing and total yards from scrimmage, and putting heat on quarterback Kirk Cousins, who is deadly when he's given time. The Eagles know that from the past with Cousins, who has a 5-3 record against Philadelphia, including a 23-21 win last season at Lincoln Financial Field.
"We need to make this about us," defensive tackle Fletcher Cox said. "We know what they like to do. They're a good team, a good offense. But it's more about what we do and how we execute our plan. That's really our focus."
It comes down to no-frills football. The Vikings are going to mix it up on offense working around the dynamic talents of Cook, whom the Eagles have schemed all week to contain. How do they do that? Doesn't every team look to rein in Cook, to no avail this season (other than the Chicago Bears defense, which limited Cook to 70 total yards from scrimmage on 20 touches)? If the Eagles stop the run, they have a chance against receivers Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. If Cousins can execute the play-action passing game, the Eagles will be at a disadvantage.
On offense, it's about handling the pressure off the edge and seeing and accounting for the Vikings' blitz package. The X's and O's have been studied all week.
Now it's time to play. It's time to find out what this Eagles team is all about as the meat of the schedule arrives. It's a critical, telling stretch. And it's going to come down to the line of scrimmage, a strength of this football team.

From the moment we are conceived our personal development has begun – and, if we are open-minded and realistic enough, this journey of personal development stays with us through our entire lives. True we may feel there are mainstreams and tributaries on parts of this journey, but too many of us get caught up in the hurly-burly and minutiae of life and become disconnected from our "personal development" to such an extent that it seems to be almost "on hold".
The truth is – our personal development isn't on hold, but continues unabated every day of our lives. We are getting familiar with, honing, polishing and perfecting our capabilities through experience; and proving and reinforcing our thoughts through reference.
And within this familiarity – whatever idiosyncrasies, habits, foibles, character traits we have, these are also developing by the very same process.
Now, some habits – especially childhood ones – we can grow out of, yet some remain. And in remaining, as a pattern somewhere within our psyche, they can either continue and grow or also lie dormant.
The ones we grow, we can get very good at, and these ones can seem very awkward to "shake off", habitually embedded as they are. Others can reappear at some later time, triggered by a particular event or trauma, or by some other stressful effect upon our lives.
In terms of the big picture, Personal Development can be either Functional or Inner. Functional Development is much more about how we do what we do, whereas Inner Development is about who we are. Inner Development goes beyond our beliefs and values, towards our identity and the level of our spiritual connectivity.
Functional Personal Development is all about two elements. One is correcting the non-useful habits and patterns, and the other part of Functional Personal Development comes under the umbrella of active learning and conditioning.
These elements are very much about our environment, our behaviour, our skills and to a certain degree our beliefs and values at a cognitive level. They are rather akin to going to the gym to get fit – and for Functional Personal Development I would work much more in a Performance coaching capacity, rather than in a spiritual or a transformative capacity.
In terms of Inner Personal Development, I've helped many clients make transformative changes in their personal, sporting, social, creative, business and working lives by guiding them to find their own innate and intuitive inner resources to initiate and maintain generative development. My role as a spiritual or transformative coach or mentor is to help them manage, maintain and embed those changes into their everyday lives over time so they become comfortable and familiar with their new and more beneficial perspectives and perceptions. This is a place where many people feel they almost have a new identity, a new connection with that part of themselves they perhaps remember from way back.
You may have reached a point in your life where you are not perhaps sure about what steps to take next, or in which direction to go. Alternatively you may feel 'stuck', or perhaps would welcome exploring some areas that may be of use to you in going forward. Often it can be a very short journey to re-orient ourselves with what we feel is our true purpose – to what resonates with us – transforming us from running on empty to walking on air.
If you feel that working with me as your coach – in whatever capacity – would be of benefit to you in your life right now, then get in touch and we can set the ball rolling. Conversations, however short, are vehicles of great potential – and with every client I see, everything starts with a conversation.

Five questions Amazon must answer to get a larger share of advertising budgets in 2019
By Martin Vinter-17 December 2018 12:19pm
Amazon's quiet drive into advertising has been the rumbling story of 2018. With 'Prime Video' channels and ad revenue topping $1.7bn and $2.2bn (itself up 119%) respectively in 2018, there can be no doubt the disruptor-in-chief has serious content and advertising ambitions next year and beyond. But how ready is Amazon to boost its share of ad budgets?
Amazon's entry to the advertising market a few years back has made things a little more complicated for marketers and agencies. For starters, it has brought a raft of new acronyms for chief marketing officers to wrestle with: AMS (Amazon Marketing Services), AMG (Amazon Media Group) and AAP (Amazon Advertising Platform). Together these propositions make up the Amazon advertising business and there is now industry-wide consensus that 2019 is the year 'The Duopoly' becomes 'The Triopoly'.
But is the media industry ready for 'The Triopoly'? How excited should advertisers and brands be feeling about the opportunity Amazon presents? And crucially, could Amazon possibly be the new standard-bearer for an industry undergoing relentless change that shows no sign of abating?
Media owners, marketers and brands clearly have much to consider, not least given the widely-reported 'fake news' and 'brand safety' issues that have plagued the media industry in recent years. The challenges for today's marketers are ever-ballooning.
Although Amazon's ad business is comparatively small when pitched against the core retail business, its advertising profits are estimated to surpass its cloud computing income by 2021. This expansion is not to be balked at, and places Amazon as a worthy challenger in the fight for UK advertisers' marketing and media budgets.
Its ad proposition has been so successful because it possesses something others don't have at the same scale: unrivalled troves of in-market data (the most valuable for brands), a strong go-to retail destination, a product search engine to rival Google (who have retaliated with more product-focused search results and listings) and much more. Amazon's lauded tech savvy also lends credibility and has been a real success with digital marketers and agencies alike.
Maintaining the current growth trajectory rests upon developing an attractive proposition to even more brands, and bigger budgets. Amazon's ad execs should focus on clear and compelling answers to five simple, but pertinent, questions that all marketers, brand managers and media agencies care most about:
Is it 'brand safe'?
Is it transparent? (agency model aside)
Is the advertising (relatively) effective?
Is there opportunity for both performance/DR as well as brand investment (in the context of point three)?
Is it easy doing business with a particular partner (advertiser and/or agency)?
In reality, the first two are staples – at least they should be. The industry has after all been under the spotlight for some time: the release of the ANA report co-authored by Ebiquity and FirmDecisions on achieving media transparency brought this to brands' attention. But big global advertisers like Unilever's Keith Weed and P&G's Marc Pritchard have ensured the issue rightfully remains buoyant through 2018 and beyond.
Amazon's clear opportunity is that it could become the darling of 'clean online media. If it maintains its spotless track record, Amazon is the clear, 'scaled' frontrunner when it comes to brand safety, contextual placement, and content transparency. But the further triple-digit growth opportunity will not come from here alone.
The million-dollar question to Amazon's sustained growth and the quest for mega (brand) budgets lies in the true effectiveness of its advertising and how it caters for not just performance and DR budgets, but brand budgets too. Amazon must offer something competitive and compelling against its online (think: Walmart) and offline competitors. More 'brand scale' will help catapult them into the higher media owner echelons.
Developing a proposition attractive to brand advertisers and proving effectiveness that delivers bang-for-buck should be at the core of Amazon's UK ambitions; and serves as a great opportunity to challenge the current industry status quo, especially given the "clean slate" Amazon has in those areas. This higher degree of trust could help it attract budgets from its competitors.
Then there's the ease of doing business with a media owner. While clients will welcome the well-known brand on their media plans, good working practices with media agencies remain a critical challenge. With Facebook and Google being largely self-serve platforms, media agencies have organised themselves to operate in such a manner. On the other hand, AAP is still a managed service, with a sales representative and internal processes to get campaigns sold in and up-and-running. I suspect we should start seeing Amazon get organised in servicing agencies similarly to how its core competitors have done so for a number of years.
Zooming out, Amazon also has the significant 'long-game advantage'. While it is getting serious about the ad business, it has always had a 'real side-project feel' about it. In true Amazon-fashion, making a profit and contending with the duopoly was not a short-term goal. That may well have changed now, but Amazon is in no hurry – the pressure not to make a profit continues to facilitate the development of its offering, and with that, rapid scaling.
If Amazon focuses on these five key questions, I believe brands may well flock in droves to the e-commerce behemoth – beyond anything seen to date. And it will potentially cause the biggest shake up in the digital media landscape for some years. One that not everyone is ready for or even foreseeing. It's all to play for in 2019.

Back at the hotel, we hope to enjoy a quiet afternoon looking over the lake, but the cheerleaders and the boys are whooping it up to rap music and heavy metal music blasting from their loudspeakers. There goes the neighborhood.
Tomorrow we're off to Jinka with a market along the way.

Kona Mauka Rotary Club plans food drive
The Kona Mauka Rotary Club will be participating in a drive-through canned food drive with The Food Basket from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday in Kealakekua.
The club will be accepting canned food and monetary donations at Randy's Huli Chicken and Ribs on the makai side of Highway 11.
Prescription Drug Take Back Day coming up
National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is Saturday and the Hawaii Police Department is encouraging members of the public take advantage of the opportunity to safely dispose of unused, unneeded, or expired prescription medications.
Tablets, capsules, and all other solid dosage forms of medication will be accepted from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Kona Police Station in Kailua-Kona and Ka Waena Lapa'au Medical Complex parking lot in Hilo. New or used needles and syringes will not be accepted. Illicit substances are not a part of this initiative.
Having unused and expired medicine in the home increases the risk of prescription drug abuse and accidental poisoning. Proper disposal also helps reduce the risk of prescription drugs entering a human water supply or potentially harming aquatic life.
Those unable to take advantage of Saturday's event can drop off prescription medications year-round at any of the department's police stations.
For more information about the drug take-back program, visit www.dea.gov.

The nuttiness of walnut-parsley pesto brings out the natural sweetness of grilled summer squash in this dish that pairs well with pork chops, mussels, or flank steak.
1. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. In a food processor, pulse parsley, walnuts, garlic, Parmesan, lemon zest, and lemon juice until combined, about 10 seconds. With machine running, add olive oil in a slow, steady stream and process until a paste forms. Season pesto with salt and pepper and transfer to a small bowl.
2. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Season squash with salt and pepper. Working in batches, grill squash, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve with pesto.
These squash are good with pork chops, mussels, or flank steak.

'Allahu akbar' is a beautiful phrase and we want it back
"Allahu akbar" (God is the greatest) is what New York terrorist, Sayfullo Saipov, reportedly uttered after plowing down innocents on the streets of New York last week. Many other killers have done the same around the world as they killed.
Yet, these are the first words a Muslim newborn hears. I just did this less than three months ago at a hospital in small town Indiana. After every sneeze a Muslim is taught to say "Alhamdulillah" (thanks be to God).
A practicing Muslim will say "Allahu akbar" or variations such as "SubhanaAllah" (praise be to God), "MashaAllah" (as God willed), "InshaAllah" (if God wills it) hundreds of time per day. Muslims are instructed to commence everything they do with Bismllahi Rahmani Raheem (In the name of God the most merciful, the most compassionate). These beautiful expressions praising the lord of mercy and compassion are repeated even by nonobservant Muslims. In fact, even Arab Christians use the same expressions.
Yet today, these expressions meant to relate one to the God of mercy and compassion, or which epitomize spirituality, have become associated with hate. Like the words jihad, sharia and even Islam itself, these words with a sinister connotation have all been hijacked by extremists and by those purportedly fighting Muslim extremism.
Extremists manipulate whatever ideology suits their needs, and Muslim extremists are no exception.
Unfortunately, some of those opposed to Muslim extremists are also driven by ignorance or in some cases even prejudice and bigotry, which extends to all Muslims. The hate is partly fuelled by an irrational and exaggerated fear of an assumed, but nonexistent, monolithic Islam represented only by its most fanatical fringe.
It is exaggerated because it takes the regressive interpretations of the few who employ these religious terms to justify their hateful campaigns and antimodern ideas and project them onto all Muslims. In the process they ignore the diversity of opinion which characterizes Muslims.
It is irrational because it ignores the peaceful interpretations and applications of these terms and practices adopted by the clear majority of Muslims, while authenticating only the extremist views. All 1.6 billion Muslims — except "moderates" — are painted with the extremist brush.
It is not only Muslim fanatics and Islamophobes who have abused these words in advancing their geopolitical and hate objectives. Sadly, even some well-meaning liberals and leftists have — sometimes inadvertently — validated the usurpation of Islamic terms by fanatics.
"Allahu akbar!" blares the alarm clock in Family Guy before blowing up the Griffin home. Funny maybe, but dangerous when most viewers have no exposure to 99.9 per cent of the Muslims who use this expression for worship and not to cause harm.
Liberal darlings, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Asra Nomani, have both been given newsprint and platforms by opinion shapers including the New York Times and the Washington Post to criminalize or create suspicion around Arabic terms and aspects of Muslim culture.
Hirsi Ali has repeatedly focused on "Allahu akbar" as a terrorist battle cry and she has even falsely claimed that jihad is primarily one of the sword. Of course, Muslims who say jihad is more about an inner struggle are lying. She has even outrageously suggested that the First Amendment rights of Muslims in the United States should be revoked. Meanwhile, not to be outdone, in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing, Nomani argued in the Washington Post that "InshaAllah," or "God willing" in Arabic, is a potential "red flag."
These words don't fall on deaf ears and have real consequences. It should be no surprise then when someone is removed off a flight for uttering "InshaAllah!" or is treated with suspicion when they innocently mutter Arabic phrases in any context.
Why should people have to curb their innocent and peaceful religious practice because of abuse by a tiny fringe? How and why must the misuse of these phrases connected with a merciful God be ceded to terrorists?
Years ago when a woman said she did not trust Obama because he was a Muslim, Senator John McCain was praised when he responded "No ma'am, he's a decent family man …" When the correct answer, as General Colin Powell pointed out, should have been, "So what if he was?"
Similarly, when Sean Hannity and Sean Gorka went after CNN's Jake Tapper last week for alleged saying that Allahu akbar was a beautiful phrase. Tapper quickly responded that Fox News was lying and that he never said that Allahu akbar was a "beautiful phrase." He was justified in setting the record straight, but a better response would have been, "I never said that, but it can be a beautiful phrase."
Well, they are beautiful phrases when most of us use them, and we want them back.

Call Me Kat Premieres January 3 on CTV
By Jeevan Brar on	 January 2, 2021 Don't Miss, What to Watch
New series Call Me Kat will premiere in Canada this Sunday, January 3, 2021 on CTV.
Based on the hit BBC series Miranda, Call Me Kat stars Mayim Bialik (Blossom) as a woman who struggles against society – and her mother – to prove that she can still live a happy and fulfilling life despite still being single at 39. While it was expected that Kat could be married with kids by now, for many reasons she's still single – but is totally fine with it! Kat decides to spend her entire savings on a cat café in Louisville, Kentucky.
"What I love is that this is not a show about a woman trying to find someone," says Bialik to Bell Media. "It's a show about a woman trying to be happy finding herself, and seeing what happens along the way."
Call Me Kat reunites Bialik with her Big Bang Theory co-star Jim Parsons, who serves as Executive Producer, along with Darlene Hunt (The Big C). Starring alongside Bialik are Cheyenne Jackson, Kyla Pratt, Julian Grant, Leslie Jordan, and Swoosie Kurtz.
Although the premiere episode will air on Sunday, Jan. 3 at 8 p.m., Call Me Kat will move to its regular timeslot, Thursdays at 9 p.m. on both CTV and FOX, beginning January 7.
Call Me Kat will also stream for free for Canadians on CTV.ca following its premiere.

New Jersey roads are frequently traveled by truck drivers delivering goods and services. These trucks range in size. No matter the size of the trucking vehicle, damages can be quite significant if involved in an accident with a smaller vehicle.
The FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administrations) is a division of the U.S. Department of Transportation, and frequently teams up with the Federal Highway Administration to institute regulations in the interest of the safety of truck drivers and those who share the road with them.
The FMCSA frequently adds to their already lengthy list of rules and regulations for the trucking industry. Many of these regulations reiterate what would be considered "common-sense" relative to the operation of a trucking vehicle. Other rules and regulations are a bit more obscure, but still detail and direct various precautionary measures.
First and foremost, truck drivers are required to have a commercial driver's license, which they cannot receive without passing a test. Commercial vehicles and their licenses come in many varieties (classes of vehicles). A license will often classify exactly which class of vehicle the operator is allowed to drive.
The FMCSA also regulates how many contiguous hours a driver may operate their vehicle. Commercial drivers often have long routes which can affect their sleep patterns and behavior on the road. Lack of sleep can impair driver capability and may cause accidents. Drivers are forbidden from working over a certain amount of hours per week and these regulations are intended to give the drivers ample opportunity to get adequate rest.
Commercial trucks are often subject to weight and height restrictions based on the roadways they will traverse. If a truck is carrying too heavy if a load, it can flip or fishtail on roads not intended for such heavy hauling. The height limit is intended to protect trucks from getting stuck under low bridges or tunnels, which can prove to be a real hazard for truck drivers and others occupying the roadways.
Regulations relating to the operation of a trucking vehicle are only effective if practiced by trucking companies and their drivers. If you are involved in an accident with a truck which violated any FMCSA regulations, you could be entitled to monetary compensation surrounding your damages, including: your injury, lost wages, property damage, medical treatment costs, etc.
It's important to have experienced attorneys pursue and/or investigate your potential claim. The attorneys at Blume Fried Forte Zerres & Molinari can help you protect your rights and properly pursue your claim. For a free consultation, call (973) 635-5400.

In honor of Valentine's Day, we would like to share with you our very own personal photos from L'Amour Photography and Video owner and photographers, Eric and Wendy's vow renewal. For this special day, we hired our team of photographers and videographers to capture our intimate ceremony at Bayer Estate on Oahu. Some of our favorite Hawaii wedding vendors made this day everything we wanted it to be. Makeup and hair was done by the very talented Heather Heen of Delish Makeup with our ceremony performed by Kahu Wendell Silva. Wendy's bouquet and floral headpiece, called a haku in Hawaiian, as well as all of the lovely flower arrangements, props and decor was by Debbie Hemingway of Designs by Hemingway. And of course, the most peaceful wedding venue on Oahu, the only place we would want to host our intimate ceremony, Bayer Estate.
The simple yet whimsical backdrop of the wedding ceremony was designed using blue, teal and cream colored fabric strip ribbons which swayed in the wind as we renewed our vows. A vintage distressed blue and white painted door added a nice touch to the ceremony site. After our intimate ceremony, we headed to the beach in front of Bayer Estate to lounge and enjoy some champagne. This cute scene is from Designs by Hemingway and featured multiple textures to create a luxurious yet, beachy feel.
Myla and Tommy were such a great couple to work with. From the moment we met them, we were struck by how nice they were and how SO in love they were. We started our day with the beautiful bride as she and her bridesmaids got their hair and makeup done by Beauty By May in their room at the Waikiki Marina Resort at the Illikai in Honolulu. Myla wore an absolutely gorgeous ivory colored chiffon destination wedding dress by Maggie Sottero Destination with a corset back and an elegant one shouldered strap adorned with fabric flowers.
She honestly looked like she stepped straight out of a bridal magazine.
Her bridesmaid wore strapless fuchsia dresses. Tommy and his groomsmen wore simple white shirts and light khaki pants. Tommy wore a traditional wedding lei of maile-style ti leaf and white orchids. The group was whisked away in a stretched limo to Makapuu Beach for a private beach ceremony.
After a gorgeous beach wedding ceremony and a portrait session with the family, whole bridal party, we had a portrait session with just the bride and groom, just in time for the sun setting behind the mountains.
The bride and groom's destination beach wedding ceremony was followed by a reception at the Top of Waikiki.
This restaurant is located on the 18th floor of the Waikiki Business Plaza in Honolulu. The Top of Waikiki restaurant makes a full 360 degree rotation every hour with stunning eagle-eye views of Waikiki Beach and Honolulu.
We had such a great time with this wedding. Thanks and congratulations to Myla and Tommy and thank you for having L'Amour Photography as your Hawaii Wedding Photographer!
Lauwa'e enjoyed some good girl time with her bridesmaids while getting her hair and makeup done by Jaque Rojas. I hung out with the ladies as they got ready while Eric headed over to the wedding ceremony venue to capture the groom, Jay, and his brothers getting ready at The Bernice Puahi Bishop Memorial Chapel at Kamehameha School. This was our first time shooting at this venue and we were instantly struck by its culture and beauty.
Eric and I broke from our "pre-wedding" diet (30 days to go!) to try some of Lauwa'e and Jay's wedding cake and oh my gosh it was definitely worth it. This cake was done by one of our favorite cake artists Sunshine's Cake Creations. We never cease to be amazed each time we see and taste Vikki's work.
Best wishes to Lauwa'e and Jay. Thanks so much for allowing us to be part of your beautiful big day!

Today, on the United Nations' International Day of Forests, XPRIZE is releasing the Future of Forests Impact Roadmap, created in partnership with Kimberly-Clark Corporation. The digital report and its interactive website , based on future foresight techniques, illustrate the breakthroughs required for a healthier forest ecosystem, which might be the basis of future XPRIZE competitions.
Across the world, forests provide food security and shelter, protect biodiversity and house indigenous populations. While forests cover more than 30 percent of the Earth's surface, more than 32 million acres of forests are lost due to human activity every year, with research showing that continued mass deforestation and degradation is accelerating climate change.
XPRIZE designs and operates global competitions to incentivize the development of technological breakthroughs that accelerate humanity toward a better future. Part of its prize design efforts include Impact Roadmaps – detailed reports that analyze complex and overlapping social, technological, economic, environmental, and policy issues, to identify the most effective solutions within a given domain. XPRIZE Impact Roadmaps are created through extensive secondary research, expert interviews, collaborative workshops with leading organizations and partners, along with crowdsourced feedback and activities through online communities.
For the Future of Forests Impact Roadmap, XPRIZE conducted a literature review on existing forest research, interviewed dozens of experts in the field, and engaged stakeholders from more than 90 organizations, including universities, non-profits, government agencies and private companies to gather input and assess its findings.
Super-Wood – A sustainably-produced alternative for wood that shifts the reliance on virgin wood from natural forests and plantations to another material that is sustainably produced and possesses the same strengths and qualities of natural wood.
Global Transparency – A system that will provide traceability and transparency of forest-related activities, leading to better accountability.
Super-Farming – Alternative, and highly-efficient farming methods, that take land-use pressure off forests by providing substantially larger crop yields, with lower energy expenditure and fewer waste byproducts.
X-Meat – Alternative, highly-efficient methods for meat production, that eliminate most of the waste and pollution provided by cattle ranching and minimize energy and feed expenditures.
Forest Regeneration – Cost-effective methods that could be widely utilized to restore existing forests and establish new ones.
Value of Forests – Techniques, methods and platforms that help assess the ecological value (ecosystem service) of forests at high resolution.
Stopping Wildfires – Highly-efficient wildfire prevention and mitigation techniques that would provide better wildfire prevention, mitigation and management.
Invasive Species – A decentralized system that detects and aids in the elimination of harmful and invasive species.
Super-Charcoal – Scalable and highly-efficient methods and technologies for converting wood into charcoal.
Carbon Sequestration – Strengthening the role of forests in carbon sequestration and storage, thereby slowing down climate change and mitigating its effects.
The Future of Forests Impact Roadmap follows XPRIZE's first Impact Roadmap, the Future of Housing Impact Roadmap , created in partnership with Lowe's. To learn more or get involved with the Future of Forests Impact Roadmap, visit impactmaps.xprize.org .
XPRIZE, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is the global leader in designing and implementing innovative competition models to solve the world's grandest challenges. Active competitions include the Lunar XPRIZE, the $20M NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE, the $15M Global Learning XPRIZE, the $10M ANA Avatar XPRIZE, the $7M Shell Ocean Discovery XPRIZE, and the $5M IBM Watson AI XPRIZE.

I contributed a piece to Coral Russell's DIY Guide to Social Media Marketin and eBook Publishing. It will be in the new edition that will be available this week.

The Book Bloggers' Collaborative has merged with The Indie Exchange. I posted there last week about why I don't care how a book makes it to market. You can read the article here.
This week's giveaway is Dark Dealings by Karen Victoria Smith. Enter here.
Sixteen-year-old Autumn Brody has enrolled at Casteel Preparatory Academy, a prestigious boarding school with a focus on the arts, for her grade eleven year but the move isn't recreational. Her choice was made in a desperate bid for the survival of herself and her family, who remain oblivious to the looming threat against them. In her self-imposed exile, Autumn must remain invisible – "a Chbosky wallflower" – or more blood will cling to her hands.
Forced into a behavioural reform program at the Academy by her frantic parents, Autumn refuses to whisper of the ghosts haunting her. But the troubled young woman soon finds that there are more reasons to fear the night than she ever dared imagine. A student cries out in anguish through the walls, rousing her from restless slumber. Mysterious messages seem to land near her feet – messages from a supposedly dead girl that Autumn sees darting into darkened service corridors. And yet, the reclusive film student she literally runs into might just be the gravest danger of all.
