Анамур (), — город и район в провинции Мерсин на побережье Средиземного моря в южной части Турции, между городами Алания и Мерсин.

Анамур — достаточно большой город, окруженный горами. Дорога, ведущая сюда и дальше на восток, представляет собой запутанный серпантин. Вокруг города множество огромных парников и плантаций с банановыми "пальмами".

История
В 3-2 тыс. д.н.э. здесь существовала хурритское государство Киццуватна.
Первое  упоминание о нём у ассирийских авторов  относится к VII в. до н. э., когда город находился под властью ассирийцев. Затем его захватили персы, у которых его отвоевал Александр Македонский. Затем после правления Селевкидов, ненадолго отошёл к Армянскому Царству Коммагене. В I в. до н. э. для Анамура наступила римская эпоха, ставшая для него периодом расцвета и богатства. В III в. город достиг своего расцвета, и большинство сохранившихся построек относятся именно к этому периоду. Упадок города наступил в Византийский период, из-за опустошительных набегов арабов. В XII в. город завоевали сельджуки. В XI в. здесь правили цари из Малой Армении.С 1080г. по 1515г. это территория Киликийского Армянского Королевства,со столицей в г.Сис(ныне Козан). Крепость Анамур была построена в 1198 г.армянским королём Киликийского Армянского Королевства Левоном II. Постоянно подвергалась атакам Румского султаната. Взята султаном Кейкубадом в 1520 г. В XIII—XV вв. принадлежала Караманогулларам, а в XVI в. — город перешёл к Османам.

Tánaiste funding Palestinian refugees Syria
Emergencies, News/feature, Syria, 2012
The Government is to provide €200,000 in emergency funding to help some of the half a million Palestinian refugees living in Syria whose lives have been increasingly affected by the devastating fighting in the country.
Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Eamon Gilmore, said the funds would support the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) to provide health, education and social services to Palestinian refugees.
Speaking after a meeting in Dublin today with the Commissioner General of UNRWA, Mr. Filippo Grandi, the Tánaiste said he was increasingly concerned at the impact of the crisis in Syria on innocent civilians.
"The humanitarian situation in Syria and across the wider region continues to deteriorate. Some 2.5 million people have been affected, with 1.2 million displaced within Syria and almost 350,000 forced to cross the border to neighbouring countries. The poor, the elderly and vulnerable groups such as the Palestinian refugee population in Syria are among those at greatest risk".
Announcing the funding, the Tánaiste said:
"Ireland has been a longstanding supporter of the work of UNRWA. During my visit to Gaza earlier this year, I witnessed the impact of the agency's tireless work to meet the basic needs of Palestinian refugees across the Middle East. I am confident that the support I am announcing today will help UNRWA to save lives and maintain the dignity of a population at increasing risk due to the brutal conflict in Syria."
Minister for Trade and Development Joe Costello added: "This funding underlines Ireland's commitment to responding to the urgent humanitarian needs in Syria and in neighbouring countries. It brings the total value of the Irish Government's response to the crisis in Syria this year to almost €2.5 million.
"Since my visit to Jordan in August, I have been monitoring the plight of refugees very closely. The increasing number of refugees and the onset of winter make the situation ever more urgent. Our funding will support UNRWA to address the needs of the Palestinian refugees, who are among the most vulnerable."
For further information or to request an interview, please contact Fionnuala Quinlan, Irish Aid, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade on 087-9099975 or the Department's press office on 087 7788835 or by e-mail:
Irish Aid is the Government's programme for overseas development. It is managed by the Development Cooperation Directorate of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
In March 2012, Minister Costello authorised €500,000 in emergency funding for the International Committee of the Red Cross, the UNHCR and the World Food Programme.
Following his visit to Jordan in August, Minister Costello announced a further €1.6 million in humanitarian funding to the International Committee of the Red Cross, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the World Health Organisation and the International Rescue Committee for their response to the crisis.
Last month saw the dispatch by Irish Aid of an additional 300 tents for use by UNHCR at camps in Jordan. The tents and specialist shelter equipment were valued at €155,000.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has provided health, education and social services to Palestinian refugees across the region since 1948. In Syria, the agency is mandated to provide health, education and social and relief services to more than 486,000 Palestinian refugees living in nine official and three unofficial camps.
Even before the current crisis, many of the refugees lagged behind the Syrian host population in key areas, such as a higher infant mortality rate and lower school enrolment figures. Palestinian refugees in Syria, like all Palestinian refugees, remain a vulnerable population and live in uncertainty with regard to their long-term future. The current violence in Syria means that they are at greater risk than ever before.

Located in the family friendly suburb of Brighton East sits the warm and welcoming Fox Kids Early Learning Centre. The friendly team of educators are passionate about early childhood education and have developed excellent relationships with the families at the centre. Recently the Fox Kids' outdoor environments have had a revamp, much to the joy of everyone at the centre.
The space itself is a huge improvement to the previous outdoor environment. Natural features take the place of black soft fall flooring and plastic materials, and new features include rocks, a water feature for water play, real trees, wooden decking, stepping stones and mud kitchen for sensory play. In both yards, the sandpit kitchens have been a huge hit with the children using kitchenware sourced from op shops to enhance dramatic play. The older children have been using mathematical concepts by counting the stepping stones and measuring themselves against the new trees.
"The younger children in particular have been loving exploring the garden beds, walking over the stepping stones and climbing onto the larger rocks in the yard. The educators have been adding animals/dinosaurs to the areas and the Koalas love playing with them amongst the bark, rocks and plants," says Assistant Manager Shannon Benton.
Centre Manager Yvonne Hart adds, "The nursery yard has been a hive of activity. The babies have loved crawling around the space exploring the different surfaces and textures," which include grass, bark, leaves, sand and tiled surfaces. The big grassy hill has been busy with lots of running, crawling and tumbling down. The tunnel underneath has been a great hiding place during hide and seek games. In warmer weather the decking can be used for naps and on wet days the newly purchased wet weather clothes allow the crawlers to explore, even in the rain.
Overall, the children have been loving exploring the new space in general and has opened up a multitude of learning opportunities for the children at the centre.
To explore the brand new yards for yourself and to meet the team of wonderful educators including Centre Manager Yvonne Hart, head here to book yourself in for a tour.

Amplitude Clinical Outcomes
Patient Health
Will interoperability improve outcomes in patient health?
On 5 May the HHS, Department of Health and Human Services, made the announcement that they would deliver $101 million to new community health centres totalling 164 across the United States in an effort to boost outcomes in patient healthcare. Sylvia M Burwell, HHS Secretary, said in a press release that clinics in two US territories and 33 states will be benefited by the Affordable Care Act funding.
Increase in access to health insurance
Access to health insurance had seen unprecedented increases due to the Affordable Care Act, according to Secretary Burwell. As a result of this progress, people can be connected to needed care. She further said that communities are served by these keystone health centres. Increasing numbers of individuals and families will have affordable access to quality care provided by those centres. This due to the awards of 5 May which will also focus on primary care and preventative care.
HHS determined to make patient care improvements
It is clear that the HHS is determined to make improvements in patient care throughout the US and to make reforms to its current system of healthcare. Reforms were pushed forward by the HHS through the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service (CMS). This is in an ongoing effort to improve outcomes in patient health and also to reduce the amount of medical errors.
EHR incentive program leads to improved healthcare
The Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Program is expected to be the vehicle through which providers will be able to implement health IT systems and EHRs whilst attesting to the requirements of meaningful use. This will lead to improved patient care. Even so, the EHR interoperability along with the exchange of health information is proving to be central to the necessity of boosting patient health outcomes. This according to a great number of healthcare providers and the ONC.
Adverse outcomes can be avoided
Since patients see 18 doctors on an average throughout the course of their lifetime, it was stressed by the Journal that it was vital to ensure that all doctors have access to health information of patients which would include outcomes with each and every physician along the way. Adverse events would then be reduced which would include the administration of medications patients have allergies to since doctors would have all the data available before prescribing medications in regards to that patient's allergies.
Security and privacy of prime importance
Of prime concern to IT professionals and healthcare providers will be the security and privacy of patients. In this regards, the HIE Network of New Mexico will leave the final decision as to who can access this information with the patient. To date, medical data from 52% of hospital stays and 1.2 million patients has been collected by the collaborative in New Mexico. As a result of this data, doctors will have access to records that will enable them to make better diagnoses and to choose treatments that are most effective.
As well, costs in healthcare should decline as a result of implementing exchanges in health information along with improved interoperability. This will result in a decrease in duplicating treatments and/or tests. The ONC, HHS and CMS are continuing to make efforts towards improving patient outcomes, the quality of care and in reducing the amount of spending with the benefit of interoperability and a fast exchange of health information

Boren Suspends Study Abroad Programs in Turkey [incl. Joshua Landis]
by Kathryn Lynn
The Oklahoma Daily
https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/23698/boren-suspends-study-abroad-programs-in-turkey
President David Boren decided to suspend all of the University of Oklahoma's study abroad programs in the Republic of Turkey indefinitely after the U.S. Department of State issued a travel warning for the country given growing concerns about its safety and security, according to a statement given by Suzette Grillot, Ph. D., dean of the College of International Studies.
The decision came just as 16 OU students were preparing to leave for their "Journey to Turkey" — the OU in Izmir trip, which was worth six credit hours. Joshua Landis, director of the Center for Middle East Studies, was going to be an instructor for the program.
"It's an exceptional trip through Turkey — three weeks of beautiful hotels along the Aegean coast. It's beautiful. We go to Cappadocia, we go to the Black Sea, and that's been running for now ... I guess 2013 was the first year we did it. We were supposed to do it again. It's gone every summer. And it was cancelled a week before we set to depart," said Landis. He also said that disappointed students were allowed to keep any scholarship money and were encouraged to travel elsewhere.
But OU in Izmir was cancelled mid-May — before the recent coup attempt on July 15 and even before the Istanbul airport bombing June 28.
On March 29, the U.S. Department of State ordered the departure of family members of U.S. Government civilians in Izmir province, which was then updated on July 26.
The U.S. Department of State has since warned all U.S. citizens of increased threats from violence from terrorist groups throughout Turkey; citizens abroad are especially encouraged to avoid travel to southeastern Turkey, according to the U.S. Department of State website update on July 18.
Southeastern Turkey, which borders both Syria and Iraq, is the Kurdish-majority region. Kurds are an ethnic minority that have significant populations in Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran. Turkey disallows the classification of minority identities and considers all people within its borders to be Turks, whether or not those individuals consider themselves Kurds, Arabs or Alevi. Turkey has been in conflict with the Kurds since the Kurdistan Workers Party — categorized as a terrorist organization — began its separatist insurgency in 1984. In 2013, Ankara — the capital of the Republic of Turkey — and the Kurdistan Workers Party agreed to a cease-fire, but in 2015 hostilities resumed.
Turkey is afraid that the civil war in Syria and against ISIS — a fight in which Kurdish forces have played a major role — will bolster a Kurdish bid for independence.
"There was no big cataclysmic event that triggered it, but things were going downhill in Turkey," said Landis, mentioning that before Boren's decision in May, there had been several bombings in Istanbul and Ankara by ISIS and by Kurdish groups — the Kurdistan Workers Party and its offshoot, the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons.
According to Landis, President Boren wanted to internationalize the College in regions of national security importance that have been overlooked by other American universities as well as to encourage students to branch out by going to places that are understudied and a little more dangerous.
"He saw Turkey as very important ... and obviously he didn't want to close the program down because of some political turbulence, because that only makes it more important and vital. But there's only so much you can do if you're president of a university in terms of ignoring the State Department and lawyers," said Landis.
According to Dean Grillot's statement, students in previous OU study abroad programs in the Middle East have been removed from their program early after heightened security concerns arose.
Programs are reinstated once it is safe to reestablish student travel to that particular destination.
Whether or not OU resumes programs in Turkey depends on the U.S. Department of State pronouncements and what happens in the region. "Turkey looks like it's headed in the wrong direction," said Landis, citing political instability, growing authoritarianism, the two-fronted war with ISIS and the Kurds.
Combine that with a sweeping consolidation of power following the failed coup, and it is all the more uncertain when OU students will be able to study in Turkey once more.

Aspiring author Cassie Teague has been rejected…again. As she considers giving up her dream of getting published, a handsome editor walks into her life and makes her wonder if God has more in store for her than just writing. Acquisitions editor David Jameson wants more than just Cassie's book. But will office politics destroy his hope for the future?
Gayle glanced at the envelope in Cassie's hand and nodded toward the vacant end of the counter. Cassie went to the last seat in the row and laid the envelope in front of her. She needed Gayle's moral support when she opened this one. The publisher she'd submitted to was the perfect match for her book, and she'd spent nearly a month on the submission package to make sure it was perfect.
Gayle finally finished serving the elderly man and joined Cassie. "Be brave."
Cassie managed a weak smile and prayed for strength as she picked up the envelope. A moment later, she pulled out her submission package and what appeared to be a form letter. She got as far as "We regret..." before she dropped the stack of papers on the counter and lowered her head to her hands with a moan. "Not again!"
The strip of bells hanging on the door jangled before Gayle could reply. She gave Cassie's arm a consoling pat, and then went to tend the new customer.
Cassie brushed her long hair from her eyes as she lifted her head and reached for the rejection letter, hoping it contained some clue as to why they didn't want her novel. Her gaze briefly went to the new customer. His gorgeous movie cowboy appearance caught her attention and made her heart do a two-step. Dark-haired and blue-eyed, he stood at least six foot two and had wide shoulders that tapered down to a trim waist. He'd tucked his white shirt into a pair of jeans that fit oh-so-perfectly on his hips. The sleeves were rolled up to reveal tanned, well-toned forearms. He smiled as he spoke to Gayle, and Cassie decided receiving another rejection letter was almost worth it to see this amazing specimen of a man.

Ten Questions for Cherie Dimaline
Log in to Send
Log in to Save
This week's installment of Ten Questions features Cherie Dimaline, whose latest novel, Empire of Wild, is out today from William Morrow. In a tight-knit Métis community in Canada, a young woman named Joan has been searching for her missing husband, Victor, for eleven months to no avail. One morning, however, a mysterious revival tent appears in the nearby Wal Mart parking lot, and when Joan wanders inside she discovers a man who appears to be an exact copy of Victor, only he insists that he is a reverend named Eugene Wolff and that he has never met her before. Joan doesn't even get the chance to let her discovery sink in before another tragedy strikes, when a beloved family member is attacked by some kind of animal. Working with her young cousin and a Métis elder, Joan resolves to recover and protect both her husband and her community. Inspired by the Métis story of the Rogarou—a werewolf-like creature that is said to haunt native communities—Empire of Wild is a literary thriller about family, tradition, and the ongoing colonial violence against First Nations people. "Empire of Wild is doing everything I love in a contemporary novel and more," writes Tommy Orange. "It is tough, funny, beautiful, honest, and propulsive." Cherie Dimaline is also the author of the young adult novel The Marrow Thieves (Dancing Cat Books, 2017), which won the Governor General's Literary Award for Young People's Literature and the Kirkus Prize for Young Readers' Literature. A member of the Georgian Bay Métis Community in Ontario, she was the first Indigenous author to serve as writer in residence at the Toronto Public Library. She lives in Vancouver.

1. How long did it take you to write Empire of Wild?
Empire of Wild, start to finish, took about a year. I like to try to write as quick as I can since I get completely consumed. Like, days in pajamas, forgetting to eat, locked in my office with papers taped to the walls kind of consumed. Basically, I am a health risk while I write so it's best to get it done in gulps.
2. What was the most challenging thing about writing the book?
The story of the Rogarou is one I heard growing up, told by the old women in my community. I enjoyed turning him into a sexy, charismatic dandy, but it was a challenge to make sure that I was still following the rules laid down for his original story—the ways in which he is brought forth, the ways in which he can be tamed….
3. Where, when, and how often do you write?
This is a cliché, I know, but, everywhere and always. Empire of Wild began as notes on the back of a barf bag while I was taking the red-eye flight from Vancouver to Toronto. It's hard to shut it off. A few years ago, I wrote an entire book while working in a cubicle at a government job. Sorry, employers. We do that.
4. What are you reading right now?
I am rereading Young God by Katherine Faw Morris and The Blue Clerk by Dionne Brand. I am also doing a shit ton of research on the Salem Witch Trials, souvenir culture, and roadside attractions for an upcoming project—so lots of very strange books and articles.
5. Which author, in your opinion, deserves wider recognition?
Oh my god, so many, especially since Canadian writers often get left out of the wider literary scene. Eden Robinson, who writes Indigenous horror; Kevin Hardcastle, who writes northern hillbilly noir; and Canisia Lubrin, whose work is Black brilliance crystallized in poetry, are all Canadians that deserve the spotlight. In the U.S., Omar El Akkad is a damn genius and American War should already be a movie. Why isn't it a movie?! Why is no one standing over his chair making sure he is finishing another masterpiece?!
6. What is one thing you might change about the writing community or publishing industry?
We need more diversity at the decision table and not just in the writing trenches. We need editors, publicists, agents, and executives of color, with different backgrounds and identities, who can champion our work, utilize lived experience to understand what goes into marketing them, and give the work the best chance to thrive. Our writing doesn't need a "leg up" to compete in the mainstream. It needs a mainstream that operates in part from our perspective and community. No extra legs needed. Just more brilliant minds.
7. What trait do you most value in your editor (or agent)?
TRUTH! I need to know if I've written a project for the recycling bin before I get my hopes up. I need to see all the red lines at once so I can go home and cry about it for twenty-four hours before diving in and getting it done, or redone, in this case.
8. If you could go back in time and talk to the earlier you, before you started Empire of Wild, what would you say?
I wrote Empire of Wild during a time when my young adult book The Marrow Thieves was enjoying a huge run on bestseller lists in Canada. It was completely intimidating to have so many people waiting for the next book and I was all wrapped up in the reality that Empire was completely different from Thieves and worried about how that would play out. I would remind myself that every book has its own life and to just have faith in the story. Sure, a lot of young adult fans were disappointed it wasn't another Thieves, but I found a whole new audience who loved Empire just as much.
9. Who is your most trusted reader of your work and why?
My agents. My husband is not valid as he is contractually obligated to think I'm amazing. My agents—Rachel Letofsky, Ron Eckel, and Dean Cooke of CookeMcDermid Agency—will tell me the truth. They also entertain my meltdowns without telling me how ridiculous I am being. Oh, and they understand the importance of champagne at business meetings.
10. What's the best piece of writing advice you've ever heard?
Indigenous Canadian writer and Elder Lee Maracle once told me, "Don't throw anything away. There's a reason you wrote it in the first place, even if it doesn't belong in the piece you're drafting." I keep a folder on my laptop with snippets that have to be cut. After editing one of my novels, I ended up using the pieces in the folder to finish a volume of short stories.

Elijah Craig Bourbon
Elijah Craig was named for a reverend who lived in Virginia. He kept a warehouse where he stored barrels and one day experienced a devastating fire. He used the charred casks regardless and found they imparted a lovely character. This is a great 12 year old small batch bourbon, named in his honour.

Elijah Craig Bourbon Tasting Notes
Quite thick and full. There is a beautiful sweetness with notes of toasty oak, toffee, spicy stewed fruits, a touch of resin and a lovely crème anglaise character.

Amrut Indian Single Malt Whisky
The meaning of the word 'Amrut' literally translates to 'the 'Elixir of life', is the first single malt whisky to be ever produced in India. Battling prejudices and finally managing to convince the experienced Scottish consumer that Indian malt could be on par with their Scottish counterpart, Amrut Whisky has come a long way.
After Dark Whisky
After Dark Whisky is a brand of Indian grain whisky distilled and sold under the Radico Khaitan brand name. It is one of the few brands of Indian whisky that is made up of 100% grain whiskies.
Single malt whiskies are the poison of choice for many a whisky lover, and for many years, Indian whisky lovers were devoid of a domestic single malt whisky brand that was delivering a product that could match up with some of the most established whisky brand around the world.
Maqintosh Premium Whisky
One of the first experiments with single malt to have been carried out in India, Amrut Distilleries' MaQintosh Premium Whisky was birthed from Neelakanta Rao Jagdale's ambition to produce a quality single malt in India.
Red Knight Whisky
Red Knight is a brand of Indian Blended Malt Scotch whisky, manufactured by the Indian conglomerate Khoday India Limited (KIL) and first launched in 1967. It is produced at the company's Bangalore facility. It is famous for its hourglass-shaped bottled along with the phrase "Red Knight finest blended malt whisky" stamped into the package in bold curved style. Initially, Red Knight was available only in North India. It was launched in the South Indian market in November 2007. Red Knight is also exported to overseas markets of Italy and Canada. The success of Red Knight whisky in North India is mainly because of the introduction of a smoother taste and new captivating packaging. The whisky has been blended afresh, keeping in mind the connoisseur's taste. This vibrant packaging is also priced just perfect for the discerning whisky lover. The introduction of the new Red Knight whisky marks a turning point in the growth of the IMFL market. The enhanced taste and pricing make it a popular one certainly.
Dalmore 12yr Malt Scotch
"The Dalmore 12 year old, with its intricate aromas and flavours, is recognised as a whisky with character far beyond its age. This was Andrew Mackenzie's original masterpiece and stood apart from the norm of the day. At a time when it was standard practise to mature whisky for no more than 6 years, Andrew Mackenzie demonstrated his pioneering character by doubling the maturation period. His boldness truly paid off, The Dalmore 12 year old still stands apart as an exceptional whisky today, as it did then. Matured for an initial nine years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, the spirit is then divided for its final flourish. One half remains in the bourbon barrels, while the other is transferred to exclusive 30 year old Gonzalez Byass Matusalem oloroso sherry butts before they are reunited to create this phenomenal whisky.
Amrut Naarangi Indian Single Malt Whisky
Amrut Naarangi is an Indian single malt released by Amrut Distilleries, makers of the first ever single malt whisky created in the country. The word Naarangi is Hindi for 'Orange', and it was chosen to indicate the unique process used to finish this expression.
Blanton's Original Single Barrel
Taken from the center-cut or middle sections of the famous Warehouse H, Blanton's Original was once designated for ambassadors, dignitaries, and Colonel Blanton's family and friends. Today, everyone has access to the world's first single barrel bourbon. The taste profile is sweet with citrus and oak. A creamy vanilla nose features hints of nuts, caramel, orange and light chocolate. Blanton's Original set the standard for single barrel bourbons. Best served neat or on the rocks. 46.5% alcohol by volume.
Minor Case Straight Rye
The Clan Campbell 8 Year Old Scotch whisky has been the most popular premium whiskey in France in recent years. It brings together the best of Scotch grains with a malt base. It is matured in oak casks for eight years. This lends the blend a warm hue, a peaty smokiness and almost creamy smoothness. This blend has 40% AVB and stands out among its contemporaries.
United Brands Private Label Scotch
Outstanding Scotch whiskey, made in the traditional way. Aged in oak barrels for at least five years. One of the most famous Scotch whiskey in the wor
Buchanan's Master Scotch
The personal creation of Buchanan's Master Blender Keith Law, this is a whisky with smooth sweetness and fresh and spicy notes on the tongue.
Vat 69 Blended Scotch Whisky
VAT 69 is a simple, pleasant blended scotch, utterly lacking in complexity, but with its own virtues nonetheless. The scotch enjoys a mid-gold color in the glass, and the nose is syrupy sweet, with crisp woody notes. On the palate, the syrupy all-spice flavored sweetness retreats into the background, partially replaced by peat smoke and tannin-rich woody flavors. The finish isn't very long, but it is smoky and warm.
Gold River Whisky
"Cofepp owns the 'Gold River' trade mark for alcoholic drinks, including whisky, which it uses for a drink having a minimum alcoholic strength of 30%, made by blending various Scotch, Canadian and American whiskies together with water. The label on the bottles bears the words 'Blended Whisky Spirit' in English and 'spiritueux au whisky' in French. On discovering that 'Gold River' was being offered for sale on the same shelves as whiskies by several retailers in Paris, The Scotch Whisky Association - a Scottish company set up to protect and promote the interests of the Scotch whisky trade - brought proceedings against the companies involved before the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris, which asked the Court of Justice to give a ruling on the interpretation of the Council Regulation laying down the Community rules on the definition, description and presentation of spirit drinks. The Court held that a drink such as 'Gold River' was a spirit drink within the meaning of the Regulation, but not a 'whisky' (which must have a minimum alcoholic strength of 40%) and thus could not be sold under that description. It noted that, under the Regulation, such a product must be described as a 'spirit' or 'spirit drink' but that the term 'whisky' may not appear in the name under which it is sold. It went on to point out that other indications may not be used freely in addition to the description 'spirit' or 'spirit drink' unless an authorisation has been given by the Commission under the derogating power conferred on it by the Regulation. That power to derogate is limited by the need to avoid confusion between different products. The Court noted that there was no such derogation in the present case. The Regulation is a mandatory enactment as regards the sales description of a drink such as 'Gold River', and the use of a descriptive name for it is thus not possible. Whilst the term 'whisky' may appear without qualification in the list of ingredients, it may not be used in close proximity to the sales description unless it is clearly separated and more discreet, in order not to mislead the purchaser as to the characteristics of the product.
Fleischmann's Preferred Whiskey
Blended from the finest quality bourbons available. A member of the Fleischmann's family of products - respected for quality and value since 1870.
Sekc Whisky
It has Pale amber in color, such vodka manner, the spicy after taste. Aristocrat seek is a smooth and perfectly fermented whiskey which is extremely popular among whiskey.

DJ Kevin Rowland: Man Of Many Hats: Star and Garter, Manchester – live review
Written by Adam Webbow24 May, 2015
DJ Kevin Rowland; Man Of Many Hats
Let's Make This Precious night, Star & Garter, Manchester
Dexy's frontman Kevin Rowland proves he's good for the soul at Manchester's Star and Garter.
The legendary Star & Garter in Manchester, first built in 1803 then moved in 1849, brick by brick, 100 yards up the road to re-open in 1877 where still it stands, slightly askew. This genuine vintage Grade 2 listed pub with the small room upstairs has seen countless artists perform over hundreds of years. For the last half year, it has been the venue for the monthly celebration of soul, reggae and the glory of great pop known as 'Let's Make This Precious', curated by Oliver Brown and Fergal Kinney. The night is named after a song by Dexys Midnight Runners and on the 16th of May 2015 it played host to a cherishable DJ set from Dexys frontman himself, the multi-faceted and very interesting Mr. Kevin Rowland.
For ten years Kevin Rowland has been presenting a different class of DJ set, expressing a deep love of known and neglected pop anthems, integrating his own live singing into the performances. Before taking to the decks Kevin strolls the room, casing the joint, looking like a Parisian avant-garde painter in long linen coat, beret and smock shirt. Nobody bothers him. We all show respect. It's an earned respect that the public have always had for for him. The locked-down music press would often deride Dexys Midnight Runners, misunderstanding their sly humour and honest soul vision. Radio was reluctant to play them, underestimating the impact of their sound. As soon as the public saw and heard them, we put them at number one in the charts more than once. Now that social media has broken down the walls of jaded press snobbery, we can sing our support for Kevin. It's what we've always felt, it's important and we want it known. His valuable contribution to British culture brings out strong feelings in people.
I conversed via e-mail with Roy Bainton, an established music essayist for more than forty years. He's been to over a thousand gigs and names Dexys Midnight Runners at the Cleethorpes Winter Gardens in 1980 as the best he's ever seen. Quoting now from Roy's e-mail, he wrote this of Kevin Rowland – "He's used his talent and influences to fuse soul, poetry and drama in a way hardly done before. He's performing as a true artist who keeps his revolution in total forward motion; what was, was – what is, is – and what will be will be when he decides it to be. Therein lies integrity."
When Kevin appears on stage tonight it's not a separation pedestal to look down from. In dedication and presentation he looks out on us, filling the room with friendly energy, gobsmacked and humbled by the heartfelt responses from a dancing crowd. There's T-Rex, Roxy Music, Trojan Reggae tunes. On Howard Melvin & The Blue Notes' 'The Love I Lost', he finds gaps within verses to add his vocal sympathy. He excels in highlighting the profound lyrics of overlooked pop singles. He sings along with 'Year of Decision' – a 1973 release from The Three Degrees, which he describes as 'beautiful'. It's emotional and truly inspiring. The space gets hotter as people pile in. Kevin removes top garments like live costume changes, revealing fiery orange long-johns and red plaid heavy duty hunting pants held up by suspender braces, topped off with leather brogue gangster spats. His style is a joy to soak in and as ever he's ahead of the game. We're bouncing, he's conducting us, clutching his heart as waves of unity crash back, passion and exuberance knocking him for six.
It feels like we'd all snap into flanks at his command, his willing new gang. He wouldn't need us. Maybe he'd politely shake his head and saunter away under misty streetlights in widescreen monochrome – but if his arms beckoned upwards and his hands clapped, the screen would flood with technicolour and we'd all be there, eager to hear. Tell us the plan Kevin, we'll do what we can. The soundtrack is mighty, please let it play on. This film he puts us all in is a timeless classic. If you get a chance to see Kevin Rowland perform a DJ set, go at once. Here is a man with the capacity to fill you with hope and move you to tears.

FUTURE'S MUSE
Getting hold of Grimes, the moniker for Canada's queen of the loop and layer, Claire Boucher, is a tough feat these days. Currently at the height of her Visions tour, Grimes has never been in such demand. I was squeezed in between a show in London, a radio interview, sound check and a train to Manchester. Undoubtedly, 2012 is her year.
Boucher, 24, treats her escalating popularity and fame with that charmingly unassuming manner of hers. "Life feels the same, just more hectic. I think I've been forced to become a lot more sociable," she says laughing. "Currently we are sharing a single hotel room with seven people!" This lack of privacy, however fun it may be on tour, sharing such an intense experience and seeing the world, does worry her. "It's extremely emotionally and physically stressful and tends to eat into my ability to work creatively as I don't get privacy."
Luckily for Boucher though, the tour is all positive. "The shows have gone really well, and I'm seeing parts of the world I never thought I would see," she says. While not a fan of touring ("It's growing on me"), preferring the creative process than being on stage, Boucher has surely done enough of it in her two years since Grimes was born.
She's played everywhere from wild homecoming gigs in Vancouver while on tour with Lykke Li last year, with her entire feuding family present and people she hadn't seen in over five years jumping onto the stage and getting leapt on by bouncers. To a sunrise rave in the woods in a giant geodesic dome. "My dad was there. We slept on dog beds in the minivan, got up at 5am and played to 5,000 people on ecstasy."
The strangest though, has to be a gig in Florida. "Jesus, I played for like four people and had a breakdown on stage. When I went outside, the house across the street was on fire. I think I caused the fire with my mind, or sensed the existence of it psychically, that being the cause of my earlier dismay." This spiritual, hypnotic form of psychoanalysis of one early gig experience explains a lot about Boucher and the process the singer, songwriter, producer, artist and director, uses to reach her exceptional levels of all-round creative genius. Many of her best creative moments come out of this feeling of spirituality and physical or mental torment. There's something beautiful about the way Boucher turns her pain into something constructive and positive. Her music is a blend of trauma and euphoria.
"This album is super cathartic, so most of the songs are about stuff I needed to confront," Boucher says of Visions, her critically acclaimed fourth, and latest album. Through this self-therapy, she has turned some of her most tortured lyrics into potential party songs. Luckily for Boucher though, people are so enamoured with the sound of the multi-layered, high pitched pop music with all the shadows of her self-confessed goth and dark electronic influences, that the words sometimes get side-lined.
The lack of clarity in her lyrics though, is deliberate, due to their extreme personal nature. "'Oblivion' is about this serious assault I suffered a few years ago, and my subsequent inability to have a normal relationship. It seemed confronting it so publicly would be good. Or that turning pain into a productive and beautiful process could alleviate it. I'm not sure if these assumptions are correct, but it helped at the time anyhow," says Boucher. Famed for her extreme measures during the making of Visions, her method allegedly consisted of nine days of solitude, some drug taking, no sleep, food, or light. Listening to the record, it paid off. Of this method, Boucher says, "The main thing is really that I need to be alone. I need to be able to forget about my existence as it is perceived by others, otherwise I get self conscious and scared."
This process resulted in a sound that is a jaw dropping mix of psychedelic dance, early goth, and a heavy helping of pop (Korean and North American), crossed with a punk attitude, an ethereal grunge style, and a big sense of creativity. Claire's journey has been an interesting one, and one that reflects the localised, home grown creative community, and illegal loft culture, of the world famous Montreal music scene which Grimes evolved from and is of such prominence.
From this community, the buzz around Ms. Boucher's alter ego Grimes, (the origins of which are a close guarded secret, but rumoured to be named after artist Ken Grimes, famed for drawing aliens), has grown into a downright deafening, widespread, and well deserved, scream. From her first album Geidi Primes, released on a limited 30 cassette run and free download, to Visions, receiving world wide acclaim, Grimes has been cemented as a definitive artist and producer, both aurally and visually.
All this in only two years. Grimes has been hard at work, all the while lifting the lid on the scene from which she was born. Boucher initially moved from her hometown of Vancouver to Montreal in 2006 to study neurobiology and philosophy at McGill. "I didn't mean to be a musician, it just happened, much later," says Boucher of her musical awakening in 2010.
But once it occurred, thanks to her time hanging out at Lab Synthèse - a re-appropriated textile factory, where she was encouraged to produce her own tracks by her friend and now manager Sebastian Cowan, from Arbutus Records (she's been signed by 4AD, but Arbutus, started up by friends of hers, still remain her Canadian label) - she moved to the Park-Ex neighbourhood of Montreal and met like-minded creatives like Doldrums, Majical Cloudz and Purity Ring, to name a few.
Boucher has some controversial words to say of her move from Vancouver. While she admits to enjoying the bands that played - Dandi Wind were a personal favourite - and venues like The Cobalt and The Emergency Room, that seems to be about it. "I hated Vancouver. Everything great about it has been destroyed by gentrification, which was accelerated intensely by the Olympics. I would say 90% of my friends from Vancouver ended up moving to Montreal also." Harsh and generalising, words yes, but the move obviously paid off for her. By late 2010, Grimes was a solid fixture in Montreal's loft culture, and two albums in - Geidi Primes and lo-fi R&B record Halfaxa (Darkbloom, a poppier EP which saw her grow technically, jointly produced with friend D'Eon, came later in 2011) - Boucher dropped out of McGill, and went full speed with her music and production. By early 2011, she had driven to SXSW, played 11 shows in three days, set the blogosphere alight, and has clearly never had to look back.
All different and brilliant in their own way, her four records capture the changes in her sound, influences and circumstance. ("It's never not been changing. If it wasn't a development process I would have no interest. For me it's not necessarily about the result. The best part…is when I'm actually working on it.") Geidi Primes, described as "sort of pre-influence" by Boucher, sees her channel traditional Chinese singers like Yao Lee, "I was listening to lots of Black Dice and stuff too. And with Halfaxa, I was really obsessed with Burial, and Salem too," says Boucher. Darkbloom saw a huge leap from this into a poppier, self-produced sound, with her admitting to listening to "a lot of Rihanna and radio pop, as well as How To Dress Well, Babe Rainbow, and Justin Bieber."
The list of influences for Visions is long and diverse, explaining its faceted pop glitch sound. From a self-confessed love of Enya (she once said that if Enya was younger, she'd be hipster music), to TLC, Aphex Twin, Marilyn Manson and Mariah, it was made during "an intensive obsession with Outkast…Also Korean pop music." Her biggest, most long running though, is Prince. "He's huge for me. One of my biggest influences," says Boucher. This love for Prince is easily heard on "Colour of Moonlight" paying homage to her favourite song of all time, "When Doves Cry."
It has to be stated that Grimes is not just a musician, she's an artiste: an audio, visual package, based on treating the mind to compositions it can hear, and see. Not only is all her artwork and production her own, but directing her videos is also one of her penchants. She co-directed 'Oblivion' with friend Emily Kai Bock, but that wasn't her first time directing. She directed and edited her videos for 'Vanessa,' the catchy single taken from Darkbloom, which triggered her growth in popularity, and also the forthcoming 'Be a Body.' "I really like directing. When I'm done with music, I would like to direct films," says Boucher.
This love for creation also spills out into her Grimes merchandise, with a new line of vulva-inspired rings, " 'cuz T-shirts are overpriced and everyone has one." A collaboration with Montreal's Morgan Black, the rings come in three different colours, and are less about the design, rather than the philosophy behind them. "We can support local designers and give people something more unique. We don't really care about making a profit…but we like working with our friends, and wanted to make a statement." Don't get excited though, this doesn't mean she's making a foray into fashion, sadly, as the former seamstress not only has a dislike toward selling things, but also described her time in fashion as "utter hell."
This level of input into everything Grimes puts out could hint at an inner control freak in Boucher. Everything she does is manifested by her own hand, her own vision. "I would never relinquish any creative control," she says. And why should she? It's worked for her so far. She does, however, play with other musicians, harping back to the creative community she so cherishes. "When I play with others, I view it as more of a collaborative thing. I just let them improvise over what I already have," says Boucher.
It's refreshing to hear Claire talking about Grimes. So often artists overthink every statement they make, carefully crafting their musical rep like hyped up political candidates. But with Claire, it's obvious, through her vulnerability-laced assurance and confidence, that her artistic vision is clear and the 'movement' around it is natural and raw. That's why people have been so receptive. Even when thrust onto a bigger stage, she remains true to the underground scene she came from, something we hope stays the same as her popularity grows. Her performances retain the haunting nature they have always had, with just her and some mood lighting, surrounded by her tools, creating her renowned intense atmosphere and stage presence.
Speaking of her first television appearance on Jools Holland while in London, Boucher laughs. "I did enjoy it, but it was very surreal. I was so scared. I was having insane hot flashes, my mouth was twitching, I was sweating so much. I was losing my mind." This is something she's going to have to get used to though, being on that bigger stage. As it's only going to get bigger.
With a summer filled with festivals and gigs almost every night, Grimes has also managed to squeeze in a cross-Canada tour, with none other than Diplo and Skrillex. "When my manager told me we had a tour offer, I literally said, as a joke, 'absolutely no more touring unless it's a Skrillex tour,'" she says laughing. The Full Flex Express tour will see the trio, (and others, including Pretty Lights, Tokimonsta and KOAN Sound), tour countrywide, on a train, with dates in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Alberta and B.C. "I'm insanely excited. I am a huge huge huge fan of both Diplo and Skrillex… it's something that I would never have imagined I would be able to do. I am beyond stoked." And so are we.
Catch the Full Flex Express tour from the 13th to the 22nd July.

This piece is taken from a presentation by Trevor Cherrett to the last Salisbury Compass meeting which took place on 22 July 2017.
Housing is a continuing crisis in the UK the problem being that many people cannot afford the market. This leads for instance to people having to travel great distances to work because they cannot afford to live nearer; homelessness and to many having to sleep on friend's sofas. One way or another, a sizeable number of people suffer stress arising from the housing crisis. Housing is a key component in an individual's wellbeing.
Another issue is the question of land, who owns it and what happens when planning permission is given to build on it. A piece of agricultural land is worth a matter of thousands an acre: grant planning permission and this value increases a thousand fold to be worth millions an acre. This represents a massive windfall gain to lucky landowners but also, crucially, adds an enormous premium to the cost of a house. This issue gets little coverage in the discussions about housing. Attempts to derive gain to society as a whole have come to nought. Since the majority of land is owned by inheritance and is held by the landed elite some of whom inhabit the House of Lords, little is likely to change. The fact remains that the poorest in society suffer housing stress in part to enable landowners to reap enormous windfall gains.
The Housing White Paper is a welcome and important first step in reframing the debate on housing in England. It recognises that we need a range of solutions to solve the housing crisis. But in seeking solutions, the White Paper presents a number of conflicts between a vision of planning that is directed solely at the provision of housing units and a vision of planning focused on the creation of communities which meet the complex and long-term needs of people. The result is a mixed picture which is unlikely to have a dramatic impact on either the delivery or the quality of new homes. Some parts of the White Paper risk further reducing the scope for building housing tenures that could help those in greatest housing need, such as social rent.
It seeks to weaken the planning system yet further but alleged failures of the planning system are not a chief cause of the problem. It wishes to see more garden cities but does not will the resources to make them happen. It wants to punish local authorities for failure to deliver when the causes of failure are not always within their power. Having consistently reduced the budgets of local authorities it now wants them to play more of a role when few are equipped to do so. Cuts to local authorities have meant few have the skills or experienced staff to carry out the necessary work.
A debate has raged for a number of years concerning the alleged hoarding of land by builders. It seems to be a fact that house builders have existing planning permissions for over half a million homes yet these are not being built. The allegation is that this is done for commercial reasons. By rationing the supply of houses it keeps their price high. Holding land, and in particular the scarce resource of land with permission to build, keeps its price high and rising which is to their benefit and enhances their balance sheets. The result is that too few homes arrive on the market.
Once upon a time there were council houses and many readers of this may have lived in one at some point of their lives. Mrs Thatcher introduced the right to buy policy (in fact a proposal by the previous Labour government but never carried out) which saw millions of them become privately owned. The sting in the tail though was that local authorities were not permitted to use the receipts to build more homes. The reason was that owning one's home meant that people were more likely to vote Conservative.
Housing Associations were introduced to carry out affordable house building and their record has been mixed. The smaller ones have in the main stuck to their remit of building affordable homes. The larger ones are alleged to have become developers first and have lost sight of their original purpose.
The combination of a lack of council housing, astronomical land prices, alleged land hoarding and housing association failure are contributory factors in the housing crisis. These are issues of supply. The other half of the problem is the ability of people to find the funds to purchase i.e. demand. Squeezed incomes over the last ten years of austerity has meant many are excluded from the market. This is despite record low interest rates. One can only speculate what will happen when the current regime of low interest rates comes to an end.
Developers are required to incorporate affordable housing in any development over a certain size. However we find here that there is no parity of arms between developers and a local authority. Developers can afford barristers and expensive surveyors to argue that building affordable homes is unviable and local authorities have neither the expertise nor funds (or political will) to resist them. So fewer of them get built.
A further aspect is the lack of community engagement in the whole process. It has become remote and too complicated for people to either understand or engage with. It has also become top-down with government setting targets for building which local authorities must meet. The effect is that local people have less and less say in what happens in their locality.
The Greffen Tower disaster has already revealed that the residents had little say and were not listened to concerning the risks and dangers they foresaw. The local authority had privatised the management of the properties and tenants had little chance of being heard.
One approach to increasing engagement is through neighbourhood plans which have had an uncertain history. Problems include maintaining involvement in a complex process and the need for procedural scrupulousness in view of challenges to decisions by developers. A simplified system could work however to incorporate community wishes as long as the Nimby factor can be contained.
Thus far we have discussed the problems of housing stress and the effects it has on those struggling to find somewhere to live. The housing crisis is not all one way however because those who are on the ladder have benefitted from the steady increase in house prices. This has provided considerable wealth to the property owning classes, wealth which has nothing to do with effort and is untaxed. From their perspective, rising prices and a dysfunctional market works to their advantage and perhaps some may say long may it continue.
They may experience problems however with their own offspring who struggle to find somewhere to live. Some may be in a position to support their children through the 'bank of mum and dad'. Others see their children living at home long past when either wish to.
Part of this is a generational problem. Generally, the older generations have done well out of housing as we have said, but it is the younger generations who are struggling. Having acquired this wealth the older generation is reluctant to let it go.
Housing is in crisis and harmfully affects many people in a variety of ways. We view housing as a market or a commodity when some see the need for shelter as a basic right. Market based approaches necessarily distort supply since the purpose of developers is to make a profit. Their role is not social but to maximise returns. Scarcity will work to their advantage by keeping prices high.
Ordinary people have a minimal say in the process as a result of the steady emasculation of planning system, a system designed to build in the wishes of the community into development decisions. Local authorities' role in development and the provision of housing by them has fallen off a cliff as a result of political decisions. Land and the price it acquires with development potential is a key component yet scarcely gets a mention.
Those on the housing ladder also do well and this may lessen the desire to help those struggling to get on it. Serious political will to tackle the problem is lacking. Politicians are nervous of taking on a wide variety of vested interests, both commercial, media and public. It is true to say that the poorest in society pay a heavy and increasing price for the failure of policy in this area.
It is beginning to form part of the inter-generational debate since those with housing wealth – mainly the older generation – are resisting changes which might benefit those – mainly the younger generation – yet to acquire it.
In future meetings we will be discussing what role Compass might usefully play in the housing debate.

UPS Earns Full FAA Approval For 'Drone Airline'
By Stephanie Mlot 10.02.2019 :: 8:48AM EST 10.02.2019
UPS Flight Forward attains FAA's full approval for drone airline. (Photo Credit: UPS)
UPS, CVS Begin Delivering Prescriptions Via Drone
UPS, CVS Team Up to Deliver Prescriptions Via Drone
UPS has received government approval to operate a drone airline.
The shipping company, granted a Part 135 Standard certification, can now fly pilotless aerial vehicles beyond human operators' visual line of sight—day or night.
"This is a big step forward in safely integrating unmanned aircraft systems into our airspace, expanding access to healthcare in North Carolina, and building on the success of the national UAS Integration Pilot Program," according to U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao.
To celebrate, UPS subsidiary Flight Forward immediately launched the first drone delivery flight by any company under Part 135 Standard at WakeMed's hospital campus in Raleigh, North Carolina.
"This is history in the making, and we aren't done yet," UPS CEO David Abney said in a statement. "Our technology is opening doors for UPS and solving problems in unique ways for our customers."
The firm is no stranger to drones: In March, UPS partnered with Matternet to operate multiple daily UAV flights at WakeMed, where a majority of specimens are currently moved by car.
Advanced FAA authorizations, however, allow the international business to broaden its program to more U.S. healthcare networks.
Hospitals will reportedly pay UPS Flight Forward for its service, which is expected to be much faster and cheaper than current dispatchers.
Very few businesses have been given the green light under this permit, which is the same on Alphabet's Wing received in April. Amazon and Uber Eats also applied for the designation, but have not yet received consent.
With the Part 135 Standard—the FAA's highest level of certification—the sky's the limit, literally.
UPS Flight Forward can fly as many drones with as many remote pilots as it wants; there are no limitations on the size or scope of proceedings.
"The Flight Forward organization is building a full-scale drone operation based on the rigorous reliability, safety, and control requirements of the FAA," Abney said.
"We will soon announce other steps to build out our infrastructure, expand services for healthcare customers, and put drones to new uses in the future," he added.

Watch Land of the Pharaohs (1955) : full movie online free DIRECT hd NO LIMIT In ancient Egypt the Pharaoh Khufu is obsessed with acquiring gold and plans to take it all with him into the "second life." To this end he enlists the aid of Vashtar, an architect whose people are enslaved in Egypt. The deal: build a robbery-proof tomb and the enslaved people will be freed. During the years that the pyramid is being built a Cyprian princess becomes the pharaoh's second wife, and she plots to prevent Khufu from taking his treasure with him when he dies .. as well as helping him make the journey early.


Mince pies are one of my absolute favourite festive foods; I dread to think how many of them I get through over the festive period! (I actually had my first mince pie of the year in July, at a Christmas in July event!). For me it wouldn't be Christmas without them, but they are quite high in sugar and fat, and therefore calories; so I've come up with this lighter version that cuts down on the sugar and fat whilst still being delicious!
The reason it is possible to cut down on the sugar is due to Splenda – I used it both in the mincemeat filling and in the sweet shortcrust pastry. As well as swapping out the usual sugar for Splenda, I cut down on calories by bulking out the mincemeat with apple, replacing the suet with reduced fat vegetable suet, cutting down the amount of alcohol a little (not out completely – don't worry!) and replacing the butter in the pastry with a lower fat spread.
I used a vegan spread, and because I used vegetable suet in the mincemeat these lighter mince pies also happen to be totally vegan as well as lower calorie – bonus!
Last week I attended a workshop with nutritionist Helen Bond and Splenda to learn all about sugar. Did you know that sweetness is the only flavour that we are born craving? That means that to fight sugar cravings you are literally having to fight against your biology – tough stuff.
We learned about the difference between 'natural' and 'free' sugars – natural sugars are ones that are intrinsic to the structure of something; so an apple contains sugar, but it is naturally occurring and the apple wouldn't be an apple without it. 'Free' sugars are added sugars, such as the sugar in a cake or a can of Coke. These lighter mince pies contain natural sugars in the form of dried fruits, but have no free/added sugar (except in the dusting of icing sugar that I gave them for photographic purposes – obviously that is optional).
The daily recommended allowance of free sugar is just 30g, about 7tsp; however only 13% of adults meet that recommendation, with the average British adult consuming 60g free sugar every day – double the allowance. An excess of sugar is not just bad because it is so high in calories, but it can also cause tooth decay and lead to type 2 diabetes and obesity; so cutting down on the amount that you consume is clearly a smart move.
I am definitely not the kind of person to go all out and cut out all sugars from my diet, but cutting down a little bit certainly wouldn't do any harm. Swapping sugar for a low calorie sweetener such as Splenda makes it easy to reduce your sugar intake while still being able to have some sweet treats. The granulated version is heat stable up to 232°C so is perfect for using in place of sugar in recipes, meaning that you can still enjoy your favourite bakes while being a little healthier too.
To make the mincemeat, place all of the ingredients apart from your choice of alcohol into a pan over a low heat. Cook at a gentle simmer, stirring regularly, for 10 minutes; add a drop of water if the mixture seems too dry.
Remove from the heat and leave to cool until just warm then stir in the alcohol. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
Place the flour and salt in a large bowl and add the spread. rub in with your fingertips until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the Splenda then gradually add ice water, a drop at a time, until the pastry comes together into a ball. Wrap in clingfilm and refrigerate for an hour.
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6. Roll the pastry out thinly on a lightly floured surface and use a 9cm round cutter to cut out 12 circles of pastry.
Press the rounds of pastry into a 12 hole muffin tin, they won't come all the way to the top of the cavity. Fill each one with a spoonful of the mincemeat (you won't need all of the mincemeat).
Re-roll the pastry scraps and cut out 12 star shapes. Place a star on top of each pie then bake for 20-25 minutes until pale golden.
Leave the pies to cool in the tin for five minutes then carefully turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

If you're anything like me, veggies are a bit hard for you to eat. You know they're healthy, but you have a hard time choking them down when you want to cut into that steak or chicken breast. Veggies are like the distraction that keep you from the main course, right?
Wrong! Veggies are the HEALTHIEST foods on the planet, and you should be looking for ways to eat MORE veggies. Thankfully, juicing for health is one of the best ways to add veggies to your life. You'll find that adding more fruits and veggies to your health juicing recipes will do wonders for your health, and it will be easy to drink down a glass or three of juice every day.
There are lots of awesome healthy juice recipes to try, and you'll find that they will improve your health in many ways. Thanks to the fiber, antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, and enzymes that you can get from fruits and veggies, you'll improve your health dramatically with just a few glasses of juice a day!
Let us share the best juicing recipes you can find in this post!
Operates at a low speed to ensure that the majority of nutrients are retained. Automatic pulp ejection.
More than just a juicer. Turns nuts into butter, prepares baby food, extrudes pasta and grinds spices and coffee.
Includes a removable filter basket to allow easy cleaning. In addition, it has a powerful, yet quiet, 240 watt motor.
A juicer which acts slowly with little heat to help retain healthy enzymes, nutrients, and minerals in the juice.
Designed with a three-inch wide feeding chute to allow an entire apple or orange to be juiced without cutting.
Can Juicing Improve Your Health?
Water plays a huge role in your overall health. If you don't get enough water, you'll end up dehydrated. Your body begins to slow down when you're even A LITTLE dehydrated, so adding more liquid to your diet is a good way to keep your body running at top speeds.
The dietary fiber in raw foods is important for your digestive health. Juicing may remove the majority of the fiber, but what's left in the juice will improve the health of your heart, your cardiovascular system, your liver, and your digestive tract.
Veggies are loaded with healthy minerals, all of which are supremely important. Potassium is needed for muscle function, calcium is needed for bone health, zinc is needed for a fast metabolism, and iron is needed for healthy circulation. All of these minerals can be found in veggies!
Fruits and some vegetables will give you the vitamins you need to be healthy. Vitamin A is needed for eye health, Vitamin C is needed for your immune system, Vitamin E protects your body from oxidative stress, and the B vitamins play a huge role in your metabolism and energy production.
Did you know that some veggies contain enzymes that will actually make digestion easier? These enzymes help to break down the food you eat, and promote healthy absorption of nutrients.
Thanks to all of these things that you get from a few cups of juice every day, you'll improve your overall health drastically!
Thanks to the high fiber and liquid content of your natural juices, your body is flushed of toxins and free radicals. By getting rid of these harmful substances, you avoid A LOT of serious health problems–including heart disease and cancer.
Losing weight is the healthy way to avoid cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, and many other obesity-related health problems. Those juicing for health will usually find that it's much easier to shed pounds, as the juices prevent hunger pangs without adding too many calories to your diet.
Instead of having to suffer through bite after bite of the veggies you don't like, you can just take a few gulps of a green juice and get all the nutrients you need. Plus, it's very time-efficient!
Who doesn't love a cold cup of green juice on a hot day? If you are looking for a tasty way to get more fruits and veggies in your diet, there are few more delicious options than making yourself cups of natural green juice.
Not only do these juices provide you with calories to burn as energy, but the detoxifying of your body will help to replenish your energy levels. You feel better about yourself after drinking these natural juices!
The truth is that juicing is one of the best things that you can do for your overall health!
What kind of juicer do you want to be?
You enjoy a glass or two of green juice per day, but you're not too particular about what you put through the juicer.
Grab whatever fruits and veggies you can find and grind them up to make a delicious cup of juice.
Definitely a good way to improve your overall health!
You know everything about the fruits and veggies that you are using, and you've learned which combinations of foods make the best healthy green juice recipe.
You use juices to supplement your diet, and they're a major part of your life. You have all the equipment you could possibly need to make natural juices at home.
Both types of juicing will help you to improve your overall health, but it's easier and cheaper to juice casually.
If you want to get the best results from your juicing, it's important that you use more veggies than you do fruits. Why is this?
Apples are loaded with natural fiber, as well as nutrients that help control your blood sugar levels and boost digestive health.
Cherries are effective immune boosters, and they can help to fight infections and inflammation.
Grapefruits boost your metabolism, provide lots of Vitamin C, and are loaded with pectin.
Grapes are rich in antioxidants, and contain lots of Vitamins A, B6, C, and folic acid.
Blackberries contain tons of phytonutrients and Vitamin K, can reduce your risk of prostate cancer, and feed your body testosterone-producing nutrients.
Lemons are one of the best sources of Vitamin C, and can help to detoxify your body.
Pomegranates are one of the best natural sources of antioxidants, which help to reduce damage to your vascular system.
Papayas are nature's healing fruit, and they contain an enzyme that can help to reduce swelling.
The truth is that fruits are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, so it's a good idea to include fruits in your green juices.
Best of all, fruits are naturally sweet. They contain fructose, a natural form of sugar that is healthy to eat. Fruits should be the sweet base of your juices, giving them the delicious flavor that you enjoy.
However, fruits should only play a SMALL part in your green juice. The same sugar that gives them their sweet flavor can lead to high glucose levels, weight gain, and other health issues. If you are juicing for health, it's important to use more veggies than fruit.
Vegetables are very low calorie, meaning they won't add to your waistline as they improve your overall health. You'll find that veggies are the best sources of certain minerals, and there are a lot of benefits to adding vegetables to your diet.
Broccoli is rich in antioxidants, Vitamins A and C, and folic acid. It's also an immunity-boosting food!
Tomatoes are loaded with the prostate-cancer fighting antioxidant lycopene, not to mention lots of Vitamins A, C, and K.
Brussels sprouts may be a bit smelly, but they're one of the best sources of the folic acid that pregnant women need.
Squash is rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and other nutrients, which makes the veggie capable of fighting off arthritis and asthma, among other problems.
Carrots are one of the best sources of Vitamin A, which helps to improve eye and organ health.
Spinach is rich in the cardiovascular health-boosting mineral iron, along with folic acid and many other important phytonutrients.
Sweet potato contains manganese and iron, along with Vitamins A and C. It's an effective cancer-fighting food!
Bell peppers aren't just colorful, but the bright red, yellow, and orange coloring comes from antioxidants that improve your overall health.
You can see that vegetables are not only lower in calories than fruit, but they're also richer in nutrients that will improve your health. The majority of your juices should be rich in veggies, with fruit as the base of the flavor!
How Should I Juice for Health?
These are high-powered juicers that can slice and dice pretty much any vegetable or fruit you want to juice.
With blades that spin at upwards of 6,000 RPM, these juicers can produce A LOT of juice in a matter of minutes. However, as a drawback, the high speed juicing causes oxidation of the enzymes and antioxidants.
If you don't drink the juice from a centrifugal juicer right away, you lose most of the important nutrients.
These are the "tortoise" of the juicing appliances. Masticating juicers have augers that spin at roughly 80 RPM, meaning that they slowly crush the fruits rather than slicing them up.
A masticating juicer can take up to 20 minutes to fill its 1-liter pitcher, but the quality of the juice is much higher.
Not only are ALL the enzymes and antioxidants intact, but there is very little froth and foam left in the juicer.
Omega VRT350 — This is one of the best compact juicers on the market, and a nicely affordable one at that. With the Omega VRT350, you get a high-powered, low-speed masticating juicer that can grind anything into a fine juice. It's a durable machine that will run well, but without taking up too much counter space. Best of all, it's easy to clean!
Omega J8006 — This is a powerhouse appliance that gets your juice made surprisingly quickly for a masticating juicer. It's one of the best juicers we have reviewed on Health Ambition, and you'll find that it has earned its 5-star rating thanks to its minimal waste, user-friendly operation, and durable design. It may be a bit noisy and pricey, but it's worth it.
Breville BJS600XL — This machine is Breville's answer to the Omega VRT350, and it's sold at a slightly marked down price. For fans of Breville appliances, it's a machine worth its salt, and it will run very well. It can handle soft foods with ease, though it's best to mix soft foods in with harder foods like beets and carrots. It's easy to use and clean, and looks great on your kitchen counter.
If you're juicing for a healthy lifestyle, this is going to appeal. It grinds at 80 rpm, which sounds slow, but that's by design. The slower it juices, the less friction it creates. This reduces the amount of heat in the machine which ensures that the minerals, enzymes, and nutrients do not lose their efficacy.
What's more, this gentle grinding action means that less noise is created—less than 60 decibels. Ensuring that other members of the household are not disturbed, especially if you are juicing early in the morning.
The grinding spiral has seven separate segments, which enables the juicer to open up the maximum amount of fruit and yield the most juice.
For people who lack patience, this is the perfect blender. With its powerful 800-watt motor, it creates fresh juice within literally seconds.
The "Big Mouth" lives up to its name. The super-wide three-inch feeding chute means whole fruits such as apples or peeled oranges can be inserted into the machine without further slicing. Again, meaning that time is saved and the juice can be enjoyed as fresh and as soon as possible.
Juicers are never the easiest pieces of kitchen appliances to clean, but this product makes it simple. All the main components (except the motor) are dishwasher safe. What's more, the juicer includes a bespoke cleaning brush if you prefer to clean manually.
So now you've got your juicer, and it's time to get cracking making your own delicious juices. Here are a few recipes that we've found to be EXCELLENT for your overall health!
Want a veggie-rich smoothie that will provide you all the nutrients you need for a healthy body?
The iron from the kale will improve your circulation, while the pectin from the apples will do wonders to quash those hunger pangs. Best of all, the blending of apple, grape, and cucumber makes this a darn tasty drink!
Cut the apple in half and slice out the seeds.
Drop the cucumber into the juicer with its peel on, and add kale in with it. Run the apples and grapes through the juicer last.
Health facts: Did you know that just SMELLING green apples can help to suppress your hunger?
You'd think that sweet strawberries and blueberries don't mix too well with spinach and carrots, but you'd be wrong!
Carrots have a hint of sweetness that blends perfectly with the berries, and the spinach adds that "green" taste you love!
The berries are loaded with Vitamin C, and you get lots of eye health-boosting Vitamin A from the carrots. Best of all, the spinach is loaded with iron and folic acid!
Health facts: Blueberries contain more antioxidants than ANY other berries – except Acai berries.
The mixture of fruits in this juice not only makes it absolutely delicious, but supremely nutritious as well. Both apples and pears are rich in pectin to suppress your hunger pangs, plus a number of awesome antioxidants.
The Vitamin C in both the cherries and the oranges will do wonders for your skin, cardiovascular system, and internal organs, and the cherries will help to fight infections. There may not be any greens in this juice, but it's still a powerhouse drink!
To begin, slice the cherries in half in order to remove the pits.
Cut the orange into quarters, and remove the peels. Drop the orange quarters into the juicer, along with a small piece of peel (it contains special health-boosting oils!).
Cut the pear and apple in half, slice out the cores, and drop them into the juicer. Add the cherries last.
Drop a couple of ice cubes into your juice and enjoy!
Health fact: Cherries have been proven to be effective at curing all manner of infections, particularly urinary tract infections.
Coconut makes an excellent base for this juice, and the natural oils from the coconut meat and milk will make it highly nutritious.
Celery gives it that hint of veggie goodness it needs, plus helps to quash your hunger!
Run the coconut meat through the juicer, and add the water into the cup.
Remove the seeds from the lychees and run them through the juicer. Add the celery last, drop in ice cubes, and drink up.
Health facts: Coconut oil is the longest-lasting type of oil, and it will not go rancid for a LONG, LONG time.
Need something to drink after a tough workout?
The combination of nuts and sweet potatoes gives you an influx of calories, but a lot of nutrients as well. Oranges give this drink its sweet base, making it supremely delicious.
Peel the orange, remove the seeds, and run it through the juicer.
Run the sweet potato next, and pour the almond milk into your cup.
Health facts: Almond milk makes a wonderful alternative to dairy products for those trying to reduce fat and/or eliminate lactose.

Do Slot Machine Streamers Just Play Online Casino Games?
January 17, 2021 by Alice Cervantes
Since Mr. Charles August Fey invented the first slot machine towards the end of the 19th century, they've been bringing joy to people everywhere. Whether in their traditional form, or sleek new games you can find online, gamblers have been free to play at their leisure for well over a hundred years, and the lure and love of slot machine has leaped into the digital world with online slot machine games that can be found at online casino games | King Casino for example. Now one of the most interesting things you may learn from this article is that not only are slot machine games a lure for people to play in the hopes of making a profit or the thrill of winning a payout, but it also is a very popular category on streaming sites like Twitch where tens of thousands of people flock to just watch streamers play slot games online.
Twitch for example has over half a million people who follow the "Slots" category which is a catch all for online casino games in themselves, and at any one time you can find over 20 thousand people live and watching streamers spending money to try and show off that jackpot pull or spin during a live stream. Some do it for the reactions, I mean people like seeing excitement and people winning, and others just have a love of the various slot machine games themselves and show off all the various slots that an online casino may offer. Still others are sponsored by the online casino sites themselves to run stream channels to help showcase their site and games and bring in draw too.
Now obviously being a slot streamer is more difficult for countries and regions where gambling is limited, locked down or simply not legal. This means many slot streamers are not USA streamers but from countries with more lenient or permissible regulation when it comes to online gambling sites. When it comes to playing slot games online, especially when doing it for an audience I would say the risk or temptation to spend more than you should can be even greater because not only are you fighting your own desire to try and win a payout, but you are also looking to entertain an audience which may lead to even more temptation.
Still many slot streamers have a specific budget or simply play the donations, bits and sub income portions they get into their slot streaming, nothing like keeping a slot game going by a donation coming in where a viewer is donating you to play more or try a few more spins…etc. Personally I have enjoyed playing slot games myself but usually only when I am at a casino with my wife and we do it together for fun combining spending time with testing out the latest new slot games, I usually like movie themed slots myself like the Willy Wonka one, or Lord of the Rings ones…etc. But I am not sure if I personally would ever just watch someone play slots online, though I suppose if the personality was entertaining enough and the community built around a slot streamer was supportive, fun, and welcoming it may have appeal.
What do you think of the slot streamer niche and it's growing popularity which set it apart from traditional video game streamers?
