Elk Meatball Enchiladas
PJ DelHomme
Kristy Crabtree is not your typical chef, which makes sense, because she's not your typical hunter, either.
STORY BY PJ DELHOMME
Kristy Crabtree will be the first to admit she is neither a professionally trained chef, nor does she play one on Netflix. And yet, her life tends to revolve around food: growing it, hunting it, cooking it, and sharing it. "I wake up in the morning thinking about what I'm going to make for dinner," she says. At times, this can be a daunting exercise.
When she opens one of her five freezers, she stares down at what's left of a couple mule deer, a bull, and a cow elk. There's also a bison, some crab, and fish from last year. A few packages of bighorn sheep. Her favorites? Pronghorn and cow elk. "Cows tend to be more tender than bulls, and I love the sagey flavor of pronghorn."
Dinners typically consist of some chunk of wild beast paired with vegetables grown in her greenhouse. "We like seasonal eating," she says. "We've got that field-to-plate and farm-to-plate mentality."
When she's not running her own web design business, busting out a 45-minute Crossfit-style workout next to her greenhouse, or planning her next hunt, Crabtree can be found refining her wild game recipes for her website nevadafoodies.com and for her column in Bugle magazine. By design, her recipes "aren't too fancy" with most prep times being around 15 minutes and cook times usually less than an hour depending on the cut of meat.
Crabtree did not grow up like this. In fact, doing much of anything outside was never really her thing. Growing up near Carson City and Reno, Nevada, her dad drove a truck and was gone most of the time. Mom always worked. Crabtree was the girl who always had to do her hair in the morning. That all changed when she met Andy.
With his dad alongside, Andy would take Crabtree scouting for animals, but she soon grew tired of staying in the truck while the boys took off after an elk or mule deer. At 32, she took a hunter safety class and started hunting herself. Now, she cannot be contained.
"I'm more into hunting now than Andy is," she says. "I do all the research and get the tags. I lIke the physical nature of hunting, being alone, and the adrenaline. I still do my hair, except when we go hunting. You can't care about your hair when you get up at three or four in the morning." As an added bonus, she loves to cook. Combined, you get the kind of life partner you only read about in magazines.
Crabtree isn't the kind of hunter to keep the spoils of her overflowing freezers all to herself. Quite the contrary, cooking wild game for neighbors, friends, and family is what she lives for. When she invites her non-hunting neighbors over for a meal, the secret, she says, is not to make a big deal about what's being eaten, and most guests love to hear about the hunt.
"The kids and neighbors like the hunting stories that come with the meals," she says. "Each package of meat tells a story. Plus, that meal provides a way to connect back to the hunt and pay respect once again to the animal. I even converted a gal who was a vegetarian. She loved my elk tenderloin, and she wanted more. 'But you're a vegetarian,' I said."
To Meat Perfection
Knowing how to cook wild game in a way that converts even the hardiest herbivores takes time and curiosity. For Crabtree, she taught herself through reading cookbooks and simply looking at photos. "For me, a recipe is a way to get started. It's how I lay the foundation. Then, you can tune it to your palette." Her go-to dishes include any type of Mexican-American cuisine: tacos, fajitas, and enchiladas.
Other advice? Take online cooking classes to get an idea of how to cut, slice, and prepare things. Learn how to sear properly. Most of all, cook the dishes that you like to eat. But for anyone who has ever cooked or eaten wild game, Crabtree knows that it presents some unique culinary challenges. "Wild game has a different flavor than store-bought meat, and you have to figure out how to cook it," she says. "There's typically no fat in wild game, so you have to add it. Olive oil is what I like to use. I'll marinate the meat first with oil and then brush a little on the steaks while they cook on the grill. It adds just a little bit of flavor and, most importantly, fat."
And then there's the taste. Newcomers and old-timers alike can be put off by a "gamey" taste to the meat. In some cases the gaminess simply refers to the unfamiliar flavor of wild game, but other times it refers to the meat tasting a little, shall we say, off.
To keep the gamey taste out of the game, hunters have to take proper care of their meat in the field. Because Crabtree likes to hunt the warm, sometimes hot, falls of the desert southwest, getting the meat cooled immediately after the shot is essential, she says. To do this, Crabtree skins the animal, breaks it down into manageable pieces and hangs the quarters in game bags in the shade. If she needs to leave the meat outside overnight, the cool night air will circulate around the quarters, helping to cool them down. Once back at the truck, she puts them in pre-cooled coolers, taking care to keep the meat as dry as possible. At home, she will dry-age the meat in the refrigerator for seven to 10 days to help break down the enzymes and tenderize it.
All of this effort and care is paramount in keeping hundreds of pounds of meat fresh. And when done right, those delicious wild meals shared with friends, family, and neighbors will go a long way to ensure the future of hunting. "Support for hunting can be through food," Crabtree says. "Around a table of wild game, we can educate folks on conservation and how hunters are part of the conservation process in our society. And they should know what goes into the hunt. You have to hike, scout, and troubleshoot. It's not all about death. There's a whole lot more to hunting than killing an animal."

Q: Swift how to express JSON in structs I want to express the following JSON and convert to swift structs
1) I get error in the third line full_plan "comma is missing". I don't know why a comma is required? I need help fixing it
2) If that is fixed will the structs shown below is accurate to convert to JSON?
Please note: add_ons may be missing in the JSON for some plans, so second plan shown does not have add_ons.
Basically I am asking help to fix the JSON and the struct for swift.
{
    "id": "100",

    "plans":
    [
        "full_plan":
        {
            "plan":
            [
                { "plan_type": "Legacy" },
                { "contract_duration_months": "12" }
            ],
            "add_ons" :
            [
                { "parking": "yes"},
                { "washerDryer": "no" }
            ]
        },
        "full_plan":
        {
            "plan":
            [
                { "plan_type": "New" },
                { "contract_duration_months": "0" }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

 struct TopPlan : Decodable {
        var uniqueId: String?
        var Plans: [FullPlan]?
        enum CodingKeys : String, CodingKey {
            case uniqueId = "id"
            case Plans = "plans"
        }
    }
    struct FullPlan: Decodable {
        var Plan: PlanJSON?
        var freePlan: AddOnsJSON?
        enum CodingKeys : String, CodingKey {
            case pricedPlan = "plan"
            case freePlan = "add_ons"
        }
    }
    struct PlanJSON: Decodable {
        var planType: String?
        var duration: String?
        enum CodingKeys : String, CodingKey {
            case planType = "plan_type"
            case duration = "contract_duration_months"
        }
    }
    struct AddOnsJSON: Decodable {
        var parking: String?
        var washerDryer: String?
        enum CodingKeys : String, CodingKey {
            case parking = "parking"
            case washerDryer = "washerDryer"
        }
    }

A: Short answer: your current JSON is invalid syntax.
You are using "full_plan" as a key (which would be fine if "plans" was an object) inside an array. Arrays in JavaScript (and thus in JSON) are unkeyed. You should either remove "full_plan" and just use the object that it refers to like "plans": [{}, {}, etc], or if you need to keep the object key wrap the entire item in curly braces such as "plans": [{ "full_plan": {}}, { "full_plan": {}}, etc]

A: You should build this up from the bottom (and if you post your question in a form that is executable in a Playground you will get answers faster). As it stands your plan JSON is unfortunate. Your struct states that you want a hash and you provide it with an array of hashes (which should be merged to get what you want). Try it like this:
import Cocoa

let jsonData = """
{ "plan_type": "Legacy",
  "contract_duration_months": "12"
}
""".data(using: .utf8)!

struct PlanJSON: Decodable {
    var planType: String?
    var duration: String?
    enum CodingKeys : String, CodingKey {
        case planType = "plan_type"
        case duration = "contract_duration_months"
    }
}

do {
    let plan = try JSONDecoder().decode(PlanJSON.self, from: jsonData)
    print(plan)
} catch {
    print(error)
}

That way you will be given enough information to further fix your JSON, but the rest looks ok.

Shostakovich: Cello Concerto No. 2
Format: 12" Vinyl
Label: Warner Classics/Parlophone
Release type: 'RSD First' Release
In the 1950s roentgenizdat - or X-ray publishing - became a trend in Soviet counterculture. 'Bone music' and 'rock on ribs' are two other terms that describe these bootleg recordings of music from the West, ingeniously cut onto X-ray fi lm discarded by hospitals.This Record Store Day release carries an X-ray image of a spine and pelvis - and a 1967 recording that has its own underground history: when the great cellist Mstislav Rostropovich was exiled from the USSR in the 1970s, a resourceful Soviet archivist saved the original tape from destruction by hiding it in a mislabelled box. It is Rostropovich's world premiere performance of the Cello Concerto No. 2 by his teacher and mentor Dmitri Shostakovich, recorded live in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatoire with the USSR State Symphony Orchestra under Evgeny Svetlanov. This is its first release on vinyl.

"De Palma" is probably the greatest film retrospective documentary ever made. Why? Well, because it gives a true artist a chance to talk about his work. No more talking heads, no more celebrity fans gushing and just a master talking to the camera directly. Brian DePalma's level of recall for his films, music videos and everything in between is stunning. De Palma also shares a fair amount of detail from his personal life. His connections to "Dressed to Kill" have been covered, but it's still harsh to hear.
Still, some readers might be asking…why a documentary? Well, after a few years of having material cut from the same two or three molds…I needed something new. Watching filmmakers Jake Paltrow and Noah Baumbach have the good sense to step back was refreshing. The problem with the modern documentary is that they're usually cut by directors who are in love with the subject matter or have dreams of being narrative directors. A documentary only succeeds when a subject can speak for itself and take you into a bigger world. Errol Morris and the other greats understood this. "De Palma" is a film that belongs among the best in the field.
A documentary about writer and director, Brian De Palma.

Group of states and cities sue Trump administration over rollback of Obama administration fuel efficiency standards
By Jace Lington
A group of 23 states, 4 cities, and the District of Columbia are challenging in court Trump administration efforts to change federal fuel efficiency requirements established by the Obama administration. On May 27, the group filed a lawsuit in the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit asking the court to review new fuel efficiency standards set by federal agencies in April.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) set the new standards in a final rule published in the Federal Register on April 30. The rule gives the auto industry more time to decrease how much gasoline their vehicles use and how much carbon dioxide they emit.
In a press release announcing the lawsuit, California Attorney General Xavier Beccera argued that the Trump administration rule violates the Clean Air Act and the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), and that new standards are too loose. He wrote, "The rule takes aim at the corporate average fuel efficiency standards, requiring automakers to make only minimal improvements to fuel economy—on the order of 1.5 percent annually instead of the previously anticipated annual improvement of approximately 5 percent. The rule also guts the requirements to reduce vehicles' greenhouse gas emissions, allowing hundreds of millions of metric tons of avoidable carbon emissions into our atmosphere over the next decade."
In a press release announcing the new fuel efficiency standards rule, the NHTSA wrote that the rule "reflects the realities of today's markets, including substantially lower oil prices than in the original 2012 projection, significant increases in U.S. oil production, and growing consumer demand for larger vehicles." The release quotes EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler saying, "Our final rule puts in place a sensible one national program that strikes the right regulatory balance that protects our environment, and sets reasonable targets for the auto industry. This rule supports our economy, and the safety of American families."
The rule is scheduled to go into effect on June 29, 2020.

QUINAULT NATION JOINS LAWSUIT AGAINST EPA ROLLBACK OF CLEAN WATER PROTECTIONS in WA Taholah, WA – The Quinault Indian Nation on October 1, 2019 filed as an intervenor in the State of Washington's lawsuit defending clean water standards intended to protect human health and limit the amount of toxic pollution found in fish that are a dietary staple of Quinault Nation tribal members. The Nation's motion supports the State of Washington's lawsuit challenging a decision by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reverse 2016 clean water standards intended to reduce releases of persistent toxins such as...
Lawsuit dismissed that sought to revoke the ownership of Lake Quinault from the Quinault Indian Nation A federal judge on July 24, 2019 dismissed a lawsuit that sought to revoke the ownership of Lake Quinault from the Quinault Indian Nation. The judgement affirms two prior court decisions rejecting the claim that the Quinault Nation has no jurisdiction over the lake. "This latest court decision once again affirms our ownership of Lake Quinault and builds on decades of progress asserting the Nation's exclusive and sovereign right to manage natural resources on our reservation," said Quinault Nation President Fawn Sharp. "Lake...
Quinault Nation leaders have declared a drought emergency for the Quinault Indian Reservation as snow pack in the Olympic mountains has dwindled to zero percent of normal while total precipitation this year over the western Olympic Peninsula is the third lowest since 1895. The U.S. Drought Monitor on June 11 upgraded the drought classification for the Olympic Peninsula from "moderate" to "severe." Drought conditions are expected to bring water shortages and restrictions as well as increased wildfire risk and hazards posing a threat to people, fish and wildlife. "The coming summer is likely to bring one of the worst...
The decision to close commercial fishing for Quinault River blueback (sockeye) salmon for conservation purposes this year is part of the ongoing effort by the Quinault Indian Nation to deal with the very tangible costs of climate change. After announcing the blueback closure on the river last week for 2019, Quinault President Fawn Sharp traveled to Washington, D.C. with a message for Congress about how the entire Quinault ecosystem from the glacier to the ocean is being harmed by climate conditions that have major impacts, economically as well as environmentally. "We are really trying to do some forecasting, not...
Climate change effects — among them, increasing wildfires, disease outbreak and drought — are taking a toll on the Northwest, and what's to come will threaten and transform our way of life from the salmon streams to ski slopes, according to a new federal climate assessment released Friday. The 1,000-plus-page report, produced by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, is the most comprehensive evaluation to date of climate change effects on the nation's economy, human health, agriculture and environment. Thirteen federal agencies contributed to the report, which was required to be published by Congress. The federal report's stark, direct...
Quinaults Can Regulate Water Quality
The Quinault Indian Nation can now regulate water quality on bodies of water within the reservation under a new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency action that provides the tribe with the same authority under the Clean Water Act as the state of Washington. The EPA last week approved a Quinault request to assume responsibilities of the Clean Water Act's Water Quality Standards and Certification programs. "Specifically, this approval will enable the QIN to establish the regulatory and scientific foundation for protecting water quality by setting water quality goals and standards for the surface water bodies within the reservation," the EPA...
Quinault Officials Skeptical of Chehalis River Dam
A month-long "scoping" period began Friday as state and federal regulators develop a framework for what will be examined in a pair of environmental impact statements on a proposal to build a dam to control flooding in the Chehalis River basin. Note: For more complete and recent information on the proposed dam please click HERE. The scoping process is to get public comment on the breadth of the environmental review.

Governor Inslee Announces Agreement to Boost Salmon
Governor Inslee announced yesterday that representatives from the United States and Canada have agreed to recommend their governments approve new coast-wide fishing agreements under the Pacific Salmon Treaty. The agreement outlines each nation's fishery management plans for Chinook, coho and chum stocks from 2019 to 2028. If approved, the treaty will result in more salmon returning to Washington and Oregon waters, where many populations are listed for protection under the federal Endangered Species Act. Governor Inslee Says This Step Comes at a Crucial Time "This step comes at a crucial time as we continue to see declines in Chinook...
WDFW Authorizes Transfer of Atlantic Salmon into Net Pens
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) has authorized Cooke Aquaculture to transport about 800,000 juvenile Atlantic salmon from the company's hatchery in Rochester, Wash., to existing net-pen facilities in Puget Sound. WDFW issued the fish transport permit this week after working to ensure Cooke had met all of the state's requirements for fish health. Earlier this year, state lawmakers passed legislation to phase out Atlantic salmon net pen operations in Puget Sound as soon as 2022. Cooke is continuing its operations in the meantime. On Aug. 2, Cooke submitted applications to move a total of 800,000 1-year-old...

You don't need special powers to make a great apple pie. Our step-by-step recipe and expert guidance will help you get there. You'll see it's easy once you get rolling.
1. GREAT apple pie begins with the crust. Start by cutting shortening into the flour with a pastry blender. Don't blend too much or your pastry will be tough.
2. ROLL out dough between sheets of plastic wrap. This way the dough won't stick to the counter or the pin.
3. ONCE the dough is rolled out, peel off the top sheet and invert the dough into the pie plate. Remove the second sheet and you're ready to fill.
4. EVENLY distribute the apple filling in the pie. Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith so they hold their texture while cooking. Cornstarch gives you a clear, juicy filling.
5. CRIMP crust edge with two fingers, pressing a V-shape into the dough. Don't worry about it being perfect – an uneven edge adds to the trendy look of homemade!
6. GARNISH each slice with 2 Tbsp. of thawed Cool Whip Whipped Topping for a simple, tasty accompaniment.

During the assembly, vice president, Dr. Aldric Marshall, spoke about things such as: what victims are particularly targeted, what they look like, what areas and parts of the world this typically happens in, his personal experiences with victims, and showed videos of former victims sharing their experiences.
"Florida is ranked #3 (in terms of human/sex trafficking), behind California, number one, and Texas, number two. We sit right by the intercoastal, which is a port center. What they're doing is, looking for individuals who are runaways, individuals who are having problems with their families, and individuals who are loners.
"Not too long ago, they (police officers) busted a house in north Palm Beach and they found six girls [as a result] for human trafficking. That's just a stone throw away from you guys."
"Now one of these statistics are going to say 14 years old, but we've had as young as nine years old."
"So, here it is. Elements of trafficking: On the basis of the definition given in the Trafficking in Persons Protocol, it is evident that trafficking in persons has three basic elements the act, means, purpose."
The assembly ended with the company's personal card being handed out and contact information being given.
Following the assembly, I Am Who I Am Inc.'s president, Terra Kennedy, added a few thoughts, "The company does things such as annual workshops, held on July 10th and July 24th. One is for young men and one is for young men. After both are completed, a coronation banquet is held, where both parties are crowned. There will be an event for adults held on Jan. 18th, which will educate them on human/sex trafficking as well."
The President states that, "Inlet Grove was the first school that accepted us. However, the state passed the law that it's mandatory to have the sex trafficking awareness."
Furthermore, the reason why this information may be deemed 'critical' to know is because out of the U.S, as previously stated, "Florida is ranked #3 [in terms]of sex trafficking and [out of the state of Florida], Broward county is ranked #1. Also, super bowl is next month and human trafficking may definitely be an issue," continued the president.

The sino:bit is a small board computer for learning about programming and science like the BBC micro:bit. What makes the sino:bit special is that it's designed for a world-wide audience. The inspiration for the sino:bit came from Naomi Wu who realized boards like the micro:bit could only be used by Western, English-speaking audiences because their small grid of LEDs couldn't display large characters from Chinese and other languages. Naomi worked with Elecrow to design the sino:bit as a world learning computer, one which has a large enough 12x12 LED matrix to display almost any character. The power of the sino:bit is that it can open the doorway to learning about computing to a world-wide audience of makers!
MicroPython is a port of the Python programming language that supports small computers like the BBC micro:bit. Since the sino:bit shares so much hardware with the micro:bit it's possible to use a sino:bit MicroPython port to program the sino:bit with Python code! This guide explores how to use the sino:bit MicroPython port.
Be aware the sino:bit MicroPython port is very early in development (as of this guide writing just a few weeks old!). Features, documentation, bugs, and other changes will be added and fixed over time so expect a few issues as you explore and learn from the project today!
That's all there is to using the sino:bit MicroPython port! The port is currently very early in development and will likely change and improve over time. To keep an eye on updates, new releases, and more information be sure to check the sino:bit MicroPython homepage. This page will be updated with news and other information as the port evolves. In addition this is a landing page for all the info you might need to use sino:bit MicroPython, like links to the web code editor, firmware releases, examples and more.
Happy hacking with the sino:bit MicroPython port!

DWTS finale aired last night in the States - the link below is the only dance I've seen: I watched it this morning, on my iPhone, sitting in my car outside work.
People, I flailed so hard some of the lads walking into the site thought I was having some kind of seizure.
There is a couch. And a bed. And it is SMOKING HOT!!!!
PLEASE vote for Derek and Nicole!!!! Please please please!!! 18008683408 They were the only ones who did their own choreography!! and That was catty of me... Everyone did an amazing job! I'm just a little biase to some people, Especially on the creative choreography side!
Catty is one word, mean-spirited is another. I'm (rightly or wrongly) taking that as a dig at Maks, who she beat out in two finals. Personally, I don't like Derek, but I recognise that he's a great choreographer (frankly, he's one of the best that DWTS has). And I can understand Julianne supporting her brother. But she can do that without taking digs at the other two pros in the final. Maks got Mandy Moore to help him with contemporary, because he's been trained in ballroom his whole life. From what I can see, it looks like Anna & Evan did a jive based freestyle to Footloose, so I'd imagine ballroom specialist Anna did the same as Maks - got help from an expert to come up with the best dance they could, and I see nothing wrong in that.
But of course, it's Derek (the golden boy, Boy Wonder) we're talking about, so normal rules of logic and common sense don't apply.
And now I'm being catty. What is this show doing to me?!?!
Wow, I didn't realise that was going to get me so irate!!

An investment company has offered Yellow Brick Road an off-market takeover bid to acquire all of the ordinary shares in the company for 0.09 cents.
The offer, made by Mercantile OFM (a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercantile Investment Company), is not subject to approval by YBR shareholders in a general meeting.
It would allow YBR shareholders to sell all of their YBR shares at a cash price that represents a 3.2 per cent discount to $0.094.
The offer is conditional on Mercantile OFM acquiring a relevant interest in more than 50.1 per cent of YBR shares on issue and no prescribed occurrences.
While Mercantile OFM does not hold a relevant interest in the company, its parent company, Mercantile MVT, and the company and its associates hold more than 56 million shares and have voting power of 19.97 per cent.
"Mercantile OFM considers that, while past performance is no guarantee of future returns, YBR's historically poor financial and share price performance may indicate such performance may continue into the future without changes at YBR," the Mercantile offer reads.
"YBR's historical financial and share price performance has been poor," it continues, noting that the company has accumulated losses of $38.5 million as at 31 December 2017.
"The YBR share price has fallen by more than 84 per cent in the past five years.
The offer concludes: "The key benefit for YBR shareholders accepting the offer is that they will be able to realise $0.09 per YBR share for all of their YBR shareholding, in cash.
In a response to the bid, executive chairman Mark Bouris said that the bid was "unsolicited", and in the view of the board of directors of YBR, it "materially undervalues the existing and future value of the company and is opportunistic in its nature, timing and pricing".
"A fully considered recommendation by YBR's board, along with the company's target statement, will be provided to YBR shareholders in due course," the statement continued.

Freya Hoffmeister: The Ice Cream Vendor Who Paddled Around South America in a Kayak
Freya Hoffmeister becomes the first person to go round South America in a sea kayak. During the 27,000 kilometer journey, the extreme kayaker had to make emergency five-day stop, where all she had where the supplies in her small kayak. Her new book "Kaap Horn wird dir nicht geschenkt" (Cape Horn will not come easily) recounts her unbelievable journey.
It's done: Freya Hoffmeister becomes the first person to kayak around South America.
At ISPO MUNICH 2016, the 52-year-old was named "European Adventurer of the Year 2015". She even once came sixth in the Miss Germany competition, being named "Goddess of Love to the Seas." Following her dangerous expedition, she is now back to coping with the adventures of everyday life.

Hoffmeister Runs Ice Cream Parlors in Germany
Freya Hoffmeister has a lot to do. The renovation of her ice cream parlors and the poor weather at the beginning of the summer demanded a lot of her energy. "I slept four hours a night at most," says the world famous adventurer.
She has two ice cream cafes on the go, with the pistachio flavor selling particularly well this summer. "I've settled back into normal life. It's also an exciting adventure, but a completely different story because you have so much responsibility for other things," Hoffmeister told ISPO.COM.
...and this is my second Janny's Eiscafé - 25813 Husum, Markt 2. Also reconstructed from the scratch...Also ALL new...

Her spectacular 27,000 kilometer tour around South America in a sea kayak came at the midpoint of her life, between August 30, 2011 and April 30, 2015. But after her great adventure she has returned to her main job: "There are thousands of things to do and the stresses of a normal day are quite a lot."

Hoffmeister Just Circled Ireland with Her Kayak
What remains is of course the recognition for her unique achievements as the best long distance kayaker in the world. At the World Paddle Awards she was named "Sportswoman of the Year" and National Geographic gave her the title of "Adventurer of the Year".
Furthermore, at ISPO MUNICH, the 52-year-old received the "European Adventurer of the Year 2015" award, which she now has at home with her. "Fueled by immense courage and determination (and powered by a paddle) the 51-year-old German Freya Hoffmeister is by far one of the worlds most adventurous sea kayakers," wrote the jury.
Freya Hoffmeister is celebrated for her achievements: 2015 she is awarded the World Paddle Award in Augsburg.

On September 9, her new book was released, titled "Kaap Horn wird dir nicht geschenkt" (Cape Horn will not come easily). Just before the book was published, Hoffmeister had once again set off in her red Lettmann Speed LCS 100 and made a trip that was, by her standards, relatively short: Kayaking around Ireland in under 50 days.
On her Facebook page, Freya Hoffmeister diligently kept a diary of her experiences in the Atlantic. The highlights of her Ireland trip can hardly compete with what she wrote in her book. And the most dramatic moment in her 27,000 kilometer journey? Navigating the dreaded Cape Horn. As a stormy westerly wind blew in at over 100 kilometers per hour, Hoffmeister had to make an emergency stop in a rocky bay. Otherwise, she could well have been pulled out towards Antarctica.
Hoffmeister Was Once a Miss Germany Contender
For five days she had to wait there alone, with only her kayak, loaded with food and water for her journey. She received awful news by satellite telephone that an Argentinian kayaking buddy had drowned a little to her west.
"I wouldn't wish the experience on anyone. But I've also experienced the most fantastic things in my life. I wanted to do things nobody else had ever done, let alone a woman," she said. She was first a bodybuilder, who came sixth in the Miss Germany competition and then became a skydiver. Hoffmeister even skydived over the North Pole. She describes her training as a civil servant as completely irrelevant to her life.
She was born for adventure. In 1996, when she was pregnant with her son Helge, skydiving became too dangerous, so she switched to kayaking. Of course, she chose kayaking of the extreme variety. In 2007 she circled Iceland and the southern isle of New Zealand, the "Mount Everest of sea kayaking", both in record time.
"Nobody is going to do this trip again any time soon."
In 2009 it was time for Australia: She covered 13,790 kilometers in 322 days, having to fend off quite a few sharks along the way. "It felt like I'd conquered all the mountains in the world when I finished this trip," she said. Yet she then reached a new high, starting her South American trip afterwards under the motto "think bigger." "I'm sure that nobody is going to do this trip after me any time soon."
What should we expect from Freya Hoffmeister next? Has she already planned her next extreme adventure? "I've got a lot of things to think about at the moment," she says. "But if I were planning something, I wouldn't be revealing it just yet."
The most enduring kayaker in the world told us that as a long distance kayaker, she had never won a medal at the Olympics, because they only cover short distances at the games. Perhaps Hoffmeister could become the first person to paddle from her hometown of Husum in Germany across the Arctic Ocean to Tokyo, where the 2020 Olympic Games are set to take place!

TV Land May 2007 Highlights; NBC Thursday Sitcom Changes; TBS/TNT Upfront
TV Land has announced its monthly highlights for May, 2007. As of now, there are no changes to the regular schedule. They will have lots of stunts and specials. Friday Night Movies continue for a second straight month, airing Fridays at 10pm. Movies include National Lampoon's Vacation, Soapdish, and Punchline.

They will of course have June Cleaver and Florida Evans in there, too. And the weekend of May 20-21 in primetime, TV Land will air episodes that dealt with mail calling of M*A*S*H.
Finally, on Memorial Day, take a roadtrip with TV Land, as classic TV shows go out on the road to start the summer off. See Sanford & Son go to Hawaii, Lucy in Hollywood, Andy also in Hollywood, and camping episodes.
For the complete May 2007 highlights, click HERE.

To start this off, NBC announced it will return 30 Rock on Thursday, April 5, for a special night of super-sized comedies (times approximate): The Office (8-8:40 p.m. ET); 30 Rock (8:40-9:15 p.m. ET); Scrubs (9:15-9:50 p.m. ET); Andy Barker, P.I. (9:50-10:20); and an encore episode of My Name Is Earl (10:20-11 p.m. ET).
The following Thursday, April 12, 30 Rock takes over its new regular time period, Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. ET and original ER episodes will resume at 10-11 p.m. ET. Andy Barker, P.I. will air between those two. Andy Barker, P.I. will conclude its run in the Thursday 9:30 p.m. ET slot on April 12. Scrubs moves into that time period the following Thursday, April 19.
The episode of Scrubs previously announced for the 9:00 time period on April 12 has been re-scheduled as part of a special back-to-back Scrubs hour on Thursday, May 3. It is likely Scrubs will air for an hour the rest of May, too, as 30 Rock concludes its season on Thursday, April 26, at 9:00 p.m. ET.
Wow...was that confusing or what? I tried to make it as easy to read as I could.
Turner Broadcasting had their upfront today. Networks include TBS, TNT, TCM, CNN and Court TV. TBS will stream full episodes of Family Guy online. TBS and Cartoon Network run the show on TV but will now stream episodes online in a virtual "living room" designed to look like the cartoon's set. The site will offer social-networking capabilities so consumers can connect over episodes they watch. TBS will also stream full episodes and extras from its new originals
Among their announcements were original sitcoms for TBS. Jamie Foxx and former basketball star Kenny Smith, an analyst for TBS' sister network TNT, will executive-produce Big Shot, a half-hour scripted comedy about a teenager who lives with his parents although he's a rich NBA rookie. Adrienne Lopez and Marcus King are also executive-producing the series, currently in development.
Comic Larry Miller is executive-producing and starring in Uncommon Sense, a half-hour scripted comedy about a newspaper columnist in suburbia with a wife and two kids. The show, from Sony Pictures Television and currently in development, is co-written and executive-produced by Miller and Eileen Conn (Just Shoot Me).
Also in development is an untitled project written by Dave Caplan (The Drew Carey Show). The half-hour scripted comedy, from Sony and Original Films, is based on Caplan's childhood experience with a single mother raising him and two sisters while managing a business. The show will focus on a woman who keeps her sense of humor after her husband walks out on her, her kids and their lumberyard.
Some other shows TBS has in development include Bob Newhart: In Search of Comedy, a half-hour late-night anthology series hosted and executive-produced by the TV legend, and an untitled project from Jenny Hunter, an associate producer from The Daily Show.
And TBS also touted its new programming coming this summer: The Bill Engvall Show, a domestic comedy about a family therapist and his own family, and a second seasons of original sitcoms My Boys & 10 Items Or Less. Debuting this summer in late night is a new sketch comedy The Frank Show.
TNT has dramas in the works. They include: Mrs. America, the hour-long drama, from Warner Horizon Television, centers on a woman trying to balance home and career. Leverage, the hour-long drama, from Electric Entertainment, focuses on six modern-day heroes who act as Robin Hoods, sometimes going to illegal measures to do good for others. The Saint, a remake of the 1960s. And finally, A.D. (working title), a drama series being developed by Angelo Pizzo and David Anspaugh. Previously announced projects in development include The Talisman, a six-hour adaptation of the Stephen King-Peter/Straub novel from Steven Spielberg and DreamWorks TV, and an untitled legal drama from Steven Bochco.
Coming this summer: Two new series Saving Grace and Heartland; the six-hour limited series The Company; and the third-season return of The Closer.
Finally, Court TV is changing its name, look and logo. It will no longer be called Court TV as of Jan. 1, 2008, and will revamp its daytime trial coverage and add several new reality series for primetime. The 16-year-old channel's new name was not revealed as of yet, but it will focus on "real engagers." They will chop Nancy Grace's weekday show in half to make way for The Star Jones Reynolds Show. Grace's Closing Arguments, currently two hours, will be now one-hour and will run at 3PM followed by Star's show at 4PM. Trial coverage will move to the network's broadband Website during the afternoon, if you are looking for that.

Father's Day is just around the corner (it snuck up on us, too). So, do you have a plan for what you're going to get your dad yet? If not, you still have a few days to decide -- and let us help you out! Take our quiz to settle on what to get your dad this Father's Day. We know he'll love it.
Click Here for the quiz!


Stir together sugar and oil.
Stir in eggs and pumpkin.
Bake 30-40 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean. Because the smaller loaves are less dense, start checking the little loaves at about 2/3 of the bake time for the full loaf. I find that somewhere between 2/3 and 3/4 of the time is right. I'm also pretty careful about scaling the loaves so that they will all bake evenly - leaving 2" of space between the little loaves.
Leave bread in tins, -- it helps keep their shape while shipping.
Drop off at church by no later than 9:30 am on Saturday, November 10th. We will vacuum seal them before sending to the troops.
In separate bowl, mix the cake mix, pumpkin, water & cinnamon together until it is smooth & well mixed.
In a 9 x 13 cooking dish – sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, add HALF of the cake-pumpkin mix.
Then smooth it out with a rubber spatula. Drizzle half of the cream cheese over the top of it and take a small spatula to smooth it over the top.
Add remaining cake-pumpkin mix & also the remaining cream cheese just making layers.
Finally take a butter knife, stick it into the mix and go back & forth over the top of the cake to blend it.
In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, and nutmeg. After mixing, add pecans and cinnamon chips then stir again. Set aside.
In your mixer's bowl, place eggs, olive oil, maple syrup, yogurt, milk, and pumpkin, mix until well combined. On low speed gradually add your dry ingredients and mix until incorporated, but do not over mix. Divide batter evenly into mini loaves and smooth the tops. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon sugar, if desired. Bake for 35 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes in pan. Invert over a clean cloth or counter space and let loaves fall out. Place loaves on a cooling rack to let cool completely. Do not wrap up loaves for freezing until completely cool. Enjoy!

Pfizer CEO pushes for more boosters just as studies show vaccines actually make people MORE likely to catch Omicron after 90 days
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla recently stated that two doses of his company's vaccine are not enough to battle the Omicron variant in an admission that even the mainstream media couldn't ignore – but what he said was really only part of a far deeper and more disturbing truth about the jabs. He made the remarks […]
Ex-Pfizer scientist Mike Yeadon claims he can prove COVID vaccine batches are materially different and pose unique risks to recipients
Ben Armstrong spoke with former Pfizer scientist Mike Yeadon on the January 10 episode of "The Ben Armstrong Show" about vaccine manufacturing. They discussed how 90 percent of the reported adverse effects of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines came from less than 10 percent of the released vaccine batches. As Armstrong put it, to have such […]
States with highest covid vaccination rates also seeing highest surge in omicron cases
Getting "vaccinated" for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) stops the spread, right? Wrong. The latest data shows that the more vaccinated a state, the higher the rate of omicron (moronic) and other "variants." Data scientist and Ph.D. dropout Emily Burns compiled a slew of evidence that she posted to Twitter showing that the top ten most […]
FDA adds risk of bleeding from low platelet count to list of J&J Covid vaccine's adverse effects
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) updated the information sheet for the single-dose Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine from Johnson & Johnson. Its update warned of possible immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), or bleeding due to low blood platelet count. "Reports of adverse events following the use of the [J&J] COVID-19 vaccine under emergency use authorization suggest an […]

Dr. Malone and Naomi Wolf say that Fauci committed "premeditated manslaughter of millions of people"
The latest release from Project Veritas has prompted Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of mRNA (messenger RNA) technology, and author Dr. Naomi Wolf to call out Tony Fauci and his friends for committing "premeditated manslaughter" against "millions of people." Malone appeared alongside Wolf, who is also a former adviser to Bill Clinton, on an episode […]
COVID vaccines killing more children than the virus, but the government does not care
Colette Martin, a practicing nurse from Louisiana, testified in front of the Health and Welfare Committee hearing in December, saying that children have terrifying reactions to the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine. She noted that children are at risk for potentially life-long health problems such as myocarditis, but her concerns have been dismissed. Hospitalizations have been skyrocketing […]
Mounting evidence points to Fauci's efforts to conceal Wuhan's role in COVID
Congressional Republicans released emails today that reveal that Drs. Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins received numerous warnings as early as February 2020 from doctors and scientists suggesting that COVID might be leaked from a lab in Wuhan and that the virus could have been genetically engineered. (Article by Tony Sifert republished from HeadlineUSA.com) BREAKING We've released never before seen emails showing Dr. Fauci […]
Government continues risky push for vaccines despite growing reports of adverse reactions, deaths
The latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that COVID-19 vaccines officially have over one million adverse effects cases and 21,000 deaths. The data, which was compiled for the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), revealed over 3,400 miscarriages by pregnant women and over 35,000 permanently disabled individuals. Moreover, over 110,000 […]
Covid vaccines in action: Brazilian reporter, 36, suffers cardiac arrest, collapses during live broadcast
While reporting the news live the other day, Brazilian television reporter Alterosa Alerta Sul de Minas suffered cardiac arrest and collapsed. The incident occurred just one week after the presenter of "Jornal das 7" took a "booster" shot for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19). While speaking, Minas fainted suddenly and had to receive care from the […]


In 2017, Facebook paid a total of £15.8 million in UK tax. It is triple the amount that it paid in 2016 as tech companies come under heightened scrutiny by the HMRC.
In accounts that were filed last week on the Companies House, it revealed that the profits of the social media giant for its UK office, which covers the expenses on sales, engineering support, and marketing increased by 6.3 percent to £62.7 millon last year, up from the £58.4 million that was reported a year earlier.
Its revenue increased to £1.2 billion, an increase of more than a third year-on-year, because of an increase in advertising reseller activities and intercompany services. Facebook paid only £5.1 million in tax two years ago.
The news comes after a push by Philip Hammond, the UK chancellor, to put pressure on large tech companies to pay higher amounts of corporate tax, as most of them channel their sales through other countries such as Ireland in order to avoid a huge tax bill.
Last week, it was revealed that Airbnb, an online rentals platform, paid onyl a shy of £600,000 in UK tax in 2017 as its UK office operates under a structure that is similar to that of Facebook that provides marketing services to its Irish parent.
Last mothn, Hammond pledged during the Conservative party conference that the United Kingdom would "go it alone" if necessary by implementing a so-called digital services tax.
The proposition was welcomed with public outcry from industry leaders, who said that the measures will only affect smaller businesses and consumers in the United Kingdom.
The vice president of Northern Europe of Facebook, Steve Hatch, said that the tax results reflect the first full year under the updated tax structure of Facebook, which moved all of its revenue from customers who are supported by UK teams to be recorded by the UK business.

Although I could not imagine it at the time, my artistic career began in high school with pencil drawings of characters from the popular Japanese manga series, Dragon Ball Z. Encouraged by my family and the kind words of people who had seen my drawings, upon graduating, I left my small town in northern Nicaragua to attend the School of Fine Arts in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
It was at La Escuela de Bellas Artes that I received my first art lessons. In 2000, I left school and began working as a still life painter for my uncle's home decorations company. I painted bodegones using a mixture of oil paint and lithographic ink. These paintings were sold by door to door salesmen who traveled across Honduras. Seven years later I came to the United States where I began to focus on painting exclusively in oils. Today, I continue to focus my work on still life, although my interests have broadened to include figurative work in which I like to acknowledge the people and culture of my home country.
My paintings, rendered in a realistic manner, are an expression of my own observations and respect for nature and of the beauty that can be found in everyday life. I paint in my home studio where I like to set up compositions under soft, natural light. I paint directly from life and occasionally I refer to photographs that I have taken of my subjects. I enjoy working with oils because their easy blending of color allows me to create a more truthful rendering of the objects in my composition. Through harmony of color and respect for detail I hope to share with the viewer my admiration and enjoyment for the little things around us.


There's nothing more infuriating than being in a rush to get somewhere like a first date, hopping in your car, then hearing it make a nasty sound. You take the car in to get it looked at, only to be told it's a part that not only costs a lot, but it's difficult to get to, which means high labor costs as well.
Car repair and maintenance is the last thing you want to deal with. You're busy, and frankly, you don't have time to deal with car repair costs.
There are hundreds of areas of your life where you can save money, such as taking care of your car. There are ways to minimize car maintenance costs, help your wallet, and ease your mind.
Many mechanics will tell you the same thing: people forget to change their oil and it destroys their car's engine. The time between changes depends on your driving habits, but most manuals say to change the oil anywhere from 3,000 to 7,000 miles. Newer cars can go longer between oil changes, but this is the number one place where you can save money on car repair costs.
This will take you less than five minutes and should be done every 20,000 to 30,000 miles, depending on what your manual says. Clean filters keep dirt out of the engine and improve fuel economy.
Avoid having different tires on the front and back of your car. You should also rotate your tires every few thousand miles. This ensures the best gas mileage and won't put wear on the suspension, which can cost at least $1,000 if things are bad.
No one likes to be sweaty while driving but instead of cranking your cold air on full blast, take it a few notches above max freezing. Air conditioning units are expensive to repair and running one as soon as you start the car reduces the life of the unit. Drive with the windows open for a short time to let hot air out—saving you 25% on your fuel economy while you're at it.
You've probably heard this one before, but idling does not keep your engine warm. Idling uses up to a half-gallon of fuel per hour but restarting only uses about 10 seconds of fuel. Idling also produces wear on the engine that may cause issues down the road. And some cities have ordinances against idling.
According to Edmunds.com, the key to saving the most gas is right under your foot. Your own driving habits such as rapid acceleration, aggressive stopping, or speeding can hurt your gas consumption. Driving moderately could reduce fuel consumption by over 30% and put less stress on your engine.
Properly inflate your tires and rotate them often. This reduces wear which means you'll have to replace them less often. Other upkeep, such as replacing spark plugs, can help keep your car running. Take your car to a trusted mechanic and pay the cost for a tune-up. It's better than paying hundreds or thousands on other car repair costs.
This could actually be the biggest place you save money. Dealerships have fantastic deals on maintenance and other upkeep, especially if you buy your car there, but they also overcharge on everything from labor to parts.
Look for a mechanic online. Check out their reviews or even ask your friends for someone. Instead of charging $500 for new spark plugs and ignition coils and "premium" parts, an independent mechanic could help you avoid those high costs.
Car repair and maintenance is no laughing matter. In fact, it can ruin your day and your budget, and make your late for your spike-ball tournament. If you still find yourself in a tough financial situation, see how Lift Credit can help you cover any nasty car repair costs.

Q: Warning parser/current is loading parser/ruby22 I'm newbie in Ruby, while excecuting a command I got this error.
warning: parser/current is loading parser/ruby22, which recognizes
warning: 2.2-compliant syntax, but you are running 2.3.1.

My Ruby version is 2.3.1
My parser version is 2.4.0.0.
I don't know why parser is loading from ruby22 which is not even installed in my computer.
Any help would be appreciated.

A: In my case, I was running an old version of Rubocop (which relies on the parser gem).  Removing/updating rubocop or whatever gem is using parser may fix your issue.


If you took a rainy stroll along the Chicago Riverwalk this weekend, your eyes weren't playing tricks on you: the Chicago River took on two vastly distinct colors — one of them seemingly unnatural.
At Wolf Point, the normally dark, muddy color of the north and south branches of the river was starkly met by a vibrant teal more reminiscent of the green hue pumped in for the city's annual St. Patrick's Day river dyeing, or the waters of Canada's Lake Louise.
The strange sight started to become apparent on Friday and was lingering into Sunday; people in downtown high-rises saw it more clearly than at street level.
Officials with the city's Department of Water Management and the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago have been investigating.
"The DWM and the MWRD went out to investigate this area this morning," water department spokeswoman Megan Vidis said Sunday. "The discoloration is not due to outfill, but caused by a combination of the storm, seasonal vegetation changes and other naturally occurring circumstances.
The head of one environmental group was skeptical that the flow of sewage into the river wasn't at least partly to blame. But she said that she'd defer to City Hall's explanation for now.
"We'll have to see what the tests reveal," said Margaret Frisbie, director of Friends of the Chicago River.
According to Frisbie, heavy rainfall such as the kind that fell on Saturday morning can overwhelm sewers, with the overflow escaping through "outfalls" — giant tubes that carry the excess stormwater and sewage into the river.
An MWRD spokeswoman didn't return messages seeking comment.
About a half-inch of rain was recorded at O'Hare Airport on Saturday, with more falling Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.
The river's quirky coloring capped off a troubling week for the city's iconic waterway. Crews are still trying to locate the source of an oil spill that slicked the Bubbly Creek portion of the river on the South Side on Oct. 26.
Heavy rainfall can cause a lot of trouble for the river. Just last month, the river overflowed onto its scenic walkways after a persistent rainstorm, causing police to tape off several entryways from Franklin Street east to the lake.

Evaluation of fast-track diagnostics and TaqMan array card real-time PCR assays for the detection of respiratory pathogens
Amanda J. Driscoll, Ruth A. Karron, Niranjan Bhat, Bhagvanji Thumar, Maja Kodani, Barry S. Fields, Cynthia G. Whitney, Orin S. Levine, Katherine L. O'Brien, David R. Murdoch
Several commercial assays are now available to detect the nucleic acid of multiple respiratory pathogens from a single specimen. Head-to-head comparisons of such assays using a single set of standard specimens provide additional information about key assay parameters such as sensitivity, specificity and lower limits of detection, and help to inform the decision regarding which method to use. We evaluated two real-time PCR platforms: the Fast-track Diagnostics® (FTD) multiplex respiratory panel and a TaqMan array card (TAC) for simultaneous uniplex detection of multiple respiratory pathogens. Two sets of samples were used to evaluate the assays. One set was created by spiking pooled nasal wash or phosphate buffered saline with specified volumes of known concentrations of virus and/or bacteria. Clinical nasal wash specimens from children with lower respiratory tract illness comprised the other set. Thirteen pathogen targets were compared between the two platforms. Testing with a validation panel of spiked samples revealed a sensitivity of 96.1% and 92.9% for the FTD and TAC assays, respectively. Specificity could not be reliably calculated due to a suspected contamination of the sample substrate. Inter-assay agreement was high (> 95%) for most targets. Previously untested clinical specimens tested by both assays revealed a high percent agreement (> 95%) for all except rhinovirus, enterovirus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Limitations of this evaluation included extraction of the validation samples by two different methods and the evaluation of the assays in different laboratories. However, neither of these factors significantly impacted inter-assay agreement for these sets of samples, and it was demonstrated that both assays could reliably detect clinically relevant concentrations of bacterial and viral pathogens.

Head-to-head comparisons of such assays using a single set of standard specimens provide additional information about key assay parameters such as sensitivity, specificity and lower limits of detection, and help to inform the decision regarding which method to use. We evaluated two real-time PCR platforms: the Fast-track Diagnostics® (FTD) multiplex respiratory panel and a TaqMan array card (TAC) for simultaneous uniplex detection of multiple respiratory pathogens. Two sets of samples were used to evaluate the assays. One set was created by spiking pooled nasal wash or phosphate buffered saline with specified volumes of known concentrations of virus and/or bacteria. Clinical nasal wash specimens from children with lower respiratory tract illness comprised the other set. Thirteen pathogen targets were compared between the two platforms. Testing with a validation panel of spiked samples revealed a sensitivity of 96.1% and 92.9% for the FTD and TAC assays, respectively. Specificity could not be reliably calculated due to a suspected contamination of the sample substrate. Inter-assay agreement was high (> 95%) for most targets. Previously untested clinical specimens tested by both assays revealed a high percent agreement (> 95%) for all except rhinovirus, enterovirus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Limitations of this evaluation included extraction of the validation samples by two different methods and the evaluation of the assays in different laboratories. However, neither of these factors significantly impacted inter-assay agreement for these sets of samples, and it was demonstrated that both assays could reliably detect clinically relevant concentrations of bacterial and viral pathogens.
