Some say that carbs are bad.
I don't agree with that statement. Carbs are pretty great in most situations, and I'll always choose crusty artisan bread over dessert.
But I will be the first to admit that I don't need as many as I often consume. Sometimes we can stand to skip the bread and substitute something else delicious in its place. Which leads me to cauliflower.
Has anyone else noticed that cauliflower is having a "moment?"
I guess this has been happening for a couple years now thanks to the Paleo crowd, but I totally get it. When steamed, it has a bland flavor just like rice or flour so you can put it in anything. When pureed, it turns silky and becomes a perfect substitute for cream sauce or mashed potatoes. My girlfriend says that because it's white it doesn't weird out her little ones who can be a bit picky.
I've seen it turned into hummus, tortillas, tator tots and more. I'll definitely have to try a few of those ideas.
I knew cauliflower was "in," but I'd never thought of it as a rice substitute until I saw this recipe on Skinnytaste.
*I stuck to carrots only, not a big peas fan.
Remove the core and let the cauliflower dry completely. Coarsely chop into florets, then place half of the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower is small and has the texture of rice or couscous – don't over process or it will get mushy.
Combine egg and egg whites in a small bowl and beat with a fork. Season with salt. Heat a large saute pan or wok over medium heat and spray with oil. Add the eggs and cook, turning a few times until set; set aside.
Raise the heat to medium-high. Add the cauliflower "rice" to the saute pan along with soy sauce. Mix, cover and cook approximately 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is slightly crispy on the outside but tender on the inside.
Add the egg and a few sprinkles of the rice wine vinegar. Stir, then remove from heat and mix in scallion greens.
This tasted exactly like fried rice. Seriously.
I overdid it on the onion elements. You definitely don't need all of the scallions I piled on there. Just a sprinkle of green is fine.
The consistency of the cauliflower, especially when crisped up a bit in the pan, is just like tiny kernels of rice. The sesame oil, soy sauce and vinegar add the necessary flavor to keep your tastebuds happy.
But in all honesty, the best part was serving myself a heaping bowl with no guilt whatsoever. Portion control be damned! And it was perfectly fine.
Cauliflower might be my new favorite ingredient to play with. Get ready for more recipes like this!

FDA Grants Orphan Drug Designation to Aptose Biosciences for CG'806 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
SAN DIEGO and TORONTO, Dec. 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aptose Biosciences (NASDAQ:APTO) (TSX:APS) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted orphan drug designation to CG'806, a highly potent pan-FLT3/pan-BTK inhibitor, for the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AML is a particularly devastating cancer of the blood and bone marrow and is the most common type of acute leukemia among adults, with an annual incidence of approximately 21,000 patients and causing more than 10,000 deaths each year in the U.S.
"We are pleased that the FDA has recognized the unique potential of CG'806 to address AML and has assigned CG'806 the status of orphan drug designation," said William G. Rice, Ph.D., Chairman, President and CEO. "Results from non-clinical studies that we and our research collaborators have generated are promising and give reason for our eagerness to begin clinical trials in both AML and B-Cell malignancies in 2018."
AML cells utilize multiple forms of the FLT3 receptor tyrosine kinase and other pathways to promote rapid proliferation and to escape the inhibitory activities of many therapeutics. CG'806 is a highly potent inhibitor that simultaneously targets all known forms of FLT3 and other key oncogenic pathways that drive the proliferation of AML cancer cells, thereby providing CG'806 with a broad range of activity against AML and a strategy to delay mutational escape.
The FDA's Office of Orphan Drug Products assigns orphan drug designation to support the development of medicines for underserved patient populations, or rare disorders, that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. Orphan drug designation provides Aptose certain benefits, including market exclusivity upon regulatory approval if received, exemption of FDA application fees and tax credits for qualified clinical trials.
About CG'806
CG'806 is an oral, first-in-class pan-FLT3/pan-BTK inhibitor. This small molecule demonstrates potent inhibition of all wild type and mutant forms of FLT3 tested (including internal tandem duplication, or ITD, and mutations of the receptor tyrosine kinase domain and gatekeeper region), suppresses multiple oncogenic pathways operative in AML, eliminates AML tumors in the absence of toxicity in murine xenograft models, and represents a potential best-in-class therapeutic for patients with FLT3-driven AML. Likewise, CG'806 demonstrates potent, non-covalent inhibition of the wild type and Cys481Ser mutant forms of the BTK enzyme, as well as other oncogenic kinases operative in B cell malignancies, suggesting CG'806 may also be developed for CLL and MCL patients that are resistant/refractory/intolerant to covalent BTK inhibitors.
About Aptose
Aptose Biosciences is a clinical-stage biotechnology company committed to developing personalized therapies addressing unmet medical needs in oncology. Aptose is advancing new therapeutics focused on novel cellular targets on the leading edge of cancer. The company's small molecule cancer therapeutics pipeline includes products designed to provide single agent efficacy and to enhance the efficacy of other anti-cancer therapies and regimens without overlapping toxicities. For further information, please visit www.aptose.com.

In 2000, the leaders of Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Rockefeller, Ford and John D and Catherine T MacArthur foundations created the Partnership for Higher Education in Africa. The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Andrew W Mellon Foundation and the Kresge Foundation later joined the partnership.
The leaders of these American foundations saw the opportunity to support systemic change in higher education in nine African countries, namely: Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Mozambique, Madagascar, Nigeria, Tanzania and Uganda.
This is perhaps the largest partnership in higher education in Africa, and it came at a time when higher education was emerging from deep neglect, especially by the World Bank and bilateral donors in favour of primary education. The seven partner foundations invested $440 million (Sh45 billion) over a period of 10 years.
There is very little evidence on the exact motivations for the partnership. But some accounts suggest that the appointment of Vartan Gregorian, former president of Brown University, as the president of the Carnegie Corporation was critical to galvanising support among the seven foundations.
Moreover, there was unequivocal belief among the foundation partners that Africa would not progress without a strong higher education system. It is also interesting to note that all the presidents of the partner foundations knew each other and worked together well.
The seven partner foundations pointed to success in two key areas: Increased spotlight on the importance of higher education, which would spur additional investment by donors such as the World Bank, and strengthened core institutional capacity in governance systems and financial management, hence, enhancing the capacity of universities to attract funding beyond relying on government support.
Nearly a decade after the partnership ended, higher education in nearly all the countries that were part of the Partnership for Higher Education in Africa is in crisis. For example, major public universities in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ghana and Nigeria have run into unyielding headwinds of funding deficits. They are buffeted by vicious waves of governance incapacity.
Evidently, the change that the foundation partners heralded was neither systemic nor sustainable. While the degradation of higher education in Africa was triggered by the World Bank, it was exacerbated by insecure despots at the helm in many African countries who perceived universities as fountains of opposition.
Africa's youth bulge and the concomitant surge in enrolment in primary schools has led to dramatic increase in the number of young people completing secondary school. Inevitably, the demand for university education will continue to increase.
The World Bank has recognised that its policy of marginalising higher education was misguided. However, while the World Bank has shown interest in funding higher education, there is little evidence base on what works, ranging from institutional reforms to improvements in teaching, learning and research.
Higher education is central to creating a knowledge economy and it is critical for Africa's social, political and economic development. Equitable and durable growth on the African continent will not be possible unless it is driven by Africa's own human capital.


Dan from Substance Projects is holding yet another of the Stuporcross races in Duntroon August 11th, 2018.
If you are unsure of Dan or his races, I can put it in one word…. Awesome….
Everything about the day and the event is awesome. From when you show up to register, to when you hear the start noise, to when you think you are almost done then another climb hits, to when you see the finish line, to when you collapse after a long and fun day on the bike, each and every step of that is awesome.
The Eager Beaver race is a 50, 100km, or 100 mile race / ride on mainly gravel roads through the Duntroon, Honeywood Glen Huron area, so you know it is relatively flat,….. If you think of it though, for all the climbing you do, that means there's a lot of downhill to follow….

A Chillicothe man appealing his murder conviction in a 1990 death has taken his case to the state Supreme Court. Mark Woodworth is currently serving a life sentence in the shooting death of Cathy Robertson. He was first convicted in a 1995 jury trial. Four years later, a second panel of 12 found Woodworth guilty.
The high court is not expected to rule immediately following Thursday's hearing, which is scheduled to last about 30 minutes. As both sides prepared for yet another battle, KMZU News spoke to Woodworth's Attorney Robert Ramsey and the Robertson family's spokesperson Susan Ryan.

Every spin around the sun we take, the world gets more progressive. Technology keeps on advancing and finding ways to make almost everything in our lives easier and faster. As technology changes, so do the people who use it. This means that your employees, your contractors, and your customers are all becoming savvier and demand more from the companies they work with. A recent study reported in Insurance Thought Leadership showed that no matter where a carrier thinks they are currently, they can always do more to improve and serve their policyholders better with technology.
In the past, being able to think about the future, test new ideas and technologies was a "nice to have" in the insurance industry. However, in today's environment, there is no more nice to have. Innovation has become a must do. As your policyholders demand more, they also are not afraid to go out and find someone else that will give it to them if they can't get it from your company. People are now loyal to whomever can give them what they want, the way that they want.
So, how do you deliver big on innovation for your customers and employees alike?
Making big changes may seem like a hard task, but it doesn't need to be. Symbility helps companies make their claims processes better, faster, easier to use, and more efficient for all stakeholders.
Symbility Claims Connect is a cloud-based claims management platform that helps carriers to keep track of everything related to the claims process; from who's involved in the claim on your end and your third-party contractors, to where exactly the claim is on its process to resolution. Symbility Mobile Claims has given new power and speed to claims adjusters, as it allows them to create diagrams, add photos, and even pull up pricing information directly from their mobile device while in the field. There is also technology to help bring your policyholder's experience into the modern age with Symbility LINK, a web application that allows them to submit claims information and stay in contact and up-to-date with you as your process their claims so that they're never in the dark about what is happening with their claim.
If you haven't started thinking about how you're going to bring your claims process up to speed, don't worry, you're not alone. Many companies have adopted and have taken advantage of Symbility products to improve their claims processes, but there are many more still waiting for someone like us to come along.
We'd love to talk to you and help you to bring innovation and technology to your claims process.

Borderpanic: Culture Jamming
Borderpanic was a conference and tactical media lab hosted by the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, a seminar hosted by Metroscreen and an exhibition at the Performance Space. It was a coming together of artists, activists, cultural theorists and people of social conscience examining a world of burning borders. Many of the artworks exhibited at the Performance Space reflected in positive mode the documentation, connectivity and networking between people around the planet. Some of the artists included in these shows were Julian Burnside, Ghassan Hage, Mickey Quick, Geert Lovink, Stephen Best and Peter Lyssiotis.
The Pacific Highway Solution

Wayne Barrow provides a humorous dialogue between himself and two of his mates Boney and Dazza, the three of them on their way back to Sydney after a week of concreting. This article raises issues surrounding the problems with the construction of the Pacific Highway, the governments policies on mandatory detention and the shocking state of take away food along the way.
A4 Refugee Project: Artists in Solidarity
Jane Gallagher
The A4 Refugee Project began in July as a response to Austcares call for participants in Refugee Week 2002. Letters, flyers and e-mails were sent to contemporary artists throughout Australia with the request to submit a work as a gesture of support for refugees. The works addressed all sorts of issues surrounding the topic of refugees: alienation, lip sewing, consumerism, wire fencing, loneliness, nationalism...and punctuating these were abstract works that allowed some breathing space. The works were donated to the James Hardie Art Archive at the State Library of Queensland and will provide a permanent document of the artistic response from the community to this issue.
The Pathos of Boat People
Shayne Higson
On 10th April 1999, a large boat carrying 60 passengers and crew who had travelled all the way from China seeking asylum arrived on the shores of the small town of Scotts Head on the mid North coast of NSW. Shayne Higson created a series of poetic images in response to this desperate attempt for freedom. These poignant photographs present the remnants of these asylum seekers, the striped plastic bags and rusting hulk which were abandoned and replaced by suits, ties and good shoes, items worn by the refugees in an attempt to fit in with the mainland surroundings.

Disorientation: Afghan War Rug, No Easy Answers
Nigel Lendon
Lendon takes up the idea of cross-cultural interpretation and exchange as exemplified through the symbolism imbued in a traditional 'Afghan war rug', an item which was part of the exhibition 'The Rugs of War' held in June 2003. Through deconstructing the seemingly violent and barbaric visual imagery, Lendon is posing some important questions regarding the role of traditional artefacts and the valuing of such hand made craft once it has reached its destination in the west.

Pat Hoffie: Compassion and Anger
Timothy Morrell
The element of denial ingrained in Australian society provides the basis for much of Pat Hoffies work. The popularly constructed myths, histories and relationships that reinforce Australian society involve a certain amount of self-delusion, and Hoffie uses her work to amplify this fact. This article explores some of the political and humanitarian issues at the core of Hoffies artistic practice, with specific reference to the children overboard incident and Australias role in the war against terror.
Our Voices: Living with Trauma
Mammad Aidani
Mammad Aidani was born in the port city of Khorramshar in South-West of Iran and later born into the English language and the complexities of the Australian environment in 1982. He here writes about his ongoing struggles since fleeing his country during the Shahs regime when the war between Iran and Iraq ultimately led to the loss of his family and friends. He speaks out about the current political and humanitarian agenda in Australia and the role of creativity in providing rich human emotions as noble causes to unite people.
Fallout: Quick Response to 9/11
Mary Lou Pavlovic
Fallout was a quick response exhibition that only lasted for one week. The show examined the impact on art of the September 11 attacks in New York and Washington, globalisation and the refugee crisis. The thirty-seven artists who participated, each at different stages in their careers, contributed their work purely on political conviction. Many of the works in the show were quite raw, and captured this desire to re-express the shock of the violence towards the western world, but also the violent and brutal way the western world sought revenge. Sanja Pahoki and Rowan Douglas were amongst those to exhibit.

At Carver Residential we always say that presentation is key when selling a property - even if your property needs updating, presenting it well can show off it's features and enhance the positives. A fresh coat of paint will also help give the property a clean and fresh feel - which also helps put a positive spin on the marketing.
The majority of house buyers now shop online and if they don't like what they see they're not going to pick up the phone and book that viewing. Making sure your property looks its best is key and while few of us live in a show home on a daily basis, the injection of a little show home style will make it more attractive. Most house moves are aspirational and you need to remember that as well as the bricks and mortar you are selling, you are also selling a lifestyle.
So, 'how exactly do you do this?' I hear you ask. Well, first of all deal with clutter. Thinning our possessions will not only make your home look more spacious but also will put you in the mind-set for moving.
Secondly, deal with any maintenance issues such as dripping taps, cracks in plaster and broken tiles. Be proactive and consider any problems that may show up on a survey - have the boiler serviced and sort any issues with electrics.
Finally, make sure your home sparkles particularly the kitchen, bathrooms, and windows. We see other people's dirt far more easily than our own and, yes, it is more off-putting.
Once you've done all this make sure your Estate Agent uses a professional photographer for those important shots or at the very least a good camera.
When it comes to deciding on the asking price the key is to be REALISTIC and don't be seduced by an over ambitious valuation. Today's buyers are savvy and will know more or less what your property is worth and what they would be prepared to pay.
This is ultimately down to your choice of Estate Agent, however, there are questions you can ask to ensure your property is given maximum exposure. Make sure they advertise on the major property portals; find out whether they advertise in the local press and if they use social media platforms for selling properties. The more avenues of advertising they use, the greater the visibility of your property to potential buyers."

FWS Proposal 'Dooms' Wild Population of Endangered Red Wolves
Olivia Rosane
Jun 28, 2018 11:54AM EDT Animals
Red Wolf / Flickr / CC BY 2.0
In April, The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) released a report saying that the only remaining wild population of red wolves, in eastern North Carolina, could go extinct within eight years. On Wednesday, the FWS published a proposal that seems likely to speed that process along.
The proposal would limit protected territory to public lands and remove restrictions on killing or harming wolves on private lands.
"We're very disappointed in this plan," Southern Environmental Law Center attorney Ramona McGee told The Washington Post. "It's a plan that effectively dooms the red wolf in the wild. It's not enough to sustain a population, and if they wander off that [refuge] they can be shot and killed the moment they cross that boundary."
The FWS estimates there are approximately 35 red wolves left in the wild, a dozen of which live in the public lands that would be their only protected habitat under the new proposal: the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge and the Dare County Bombing Range.
FWS employees said the new proposal was written in response to the decline in the red wolves' population in the state.
"A recent Species Status Assessment informed us that past strategies were not effectively leading to recovery, so we believe that a concerted effort in a managed area will help," FWS Principal Deputy Director Greg Sheehan said in the proposal announcement.
After being nearly wiped out from their territory spanning the Southeastern U.S. during the 20th century, a small population of captive red wolves were reintroduced to North Carolina in 1987. The population grew to 140 in the early 2000s before falling due to car and hunting accidents, leading wolves to begin breeding with coyotes. About 200 remain in captivity.
The FWS assistant director for ecological services in the Southeast, Leopold Miranda, said the thinking behind the new proposal was to protect the genetic integrity and wild behavior of a small population of red wolves while the FWS looked for a better place to grow a wild population.
"Success for me right now is to keep this smaller wild population as intact as possible," Miranda said.
But conservationists disagreed that the proposal was best for the endangered species.
"We're very frustrated that the agency has continued to ignore the will of the American people on the red wolf issue. In 2016 conservation groups worked together to deliver a petition with half a million names calling on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to do more to save the red wolf," Wildlands Network conservation scientist Ron Sutherland told The Washington Post.
The public will have a chance to have their say again during a comment period that begins Thursday and ends July 30. Comments can be posted on regulations.gov. There will also be a public meeting to discuss the proposal from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on July 10 at Roanoke Festival Park in Manteo, North Carolina
