Brian Hogan – 'Kilkenny will have to score goals if they are to beat Cork'
Hogan was speaking ahead of today's All-Ireland semi-final clash between Kilkenny and Cork.

Brian Hogan O Loughlin Gaels
Kilkenny legend Brian Hogan feels Brian Cody's side will be "too strong" for Cork in today's All-Ireland SHC semi-final.
The O'Loughlin Gaels man was speaking to KCLR's All-Ireland semi-final preview show on Saturday and explained why Kilkenny will advance to an All-Ireland final with reigning champions Limerick in two weeks time.
Hogan said: "I think Kilkenny will have enough to beat Cork.
"If the game doesn't follow the pattern that Cork want they will struggle and I think Kilkenny will make it a dogfight which will make it hard for a Cork team who can be one dimensional at times."
Hogan feels that Kilkenny's intensity will be too difficult for a skillful Cork side who have not won in Croke Park since 2013.
"Cork won't have faced a team that brings that unrelenting pressure that Kilkenny do so far and we have an aerial presence that Cork don't have and I think that's an area that Brian Cody will look to target throughout the game."
The 7-time All-Ireland winning centre-back is of the opinion that the Leinster champions will need to hit the back of the net if they are to advance to a second All-Ireland final in three years.
"Kilkenny will have to score goals to beat Cork but I don't think Cork will get space to easily out score Kilkenny. If we find some goals I'd be confident that we'd have more than enough to get by Cork."

November 19, 2019 News Editor News, Student Life, VCU Administration 2
Illustration by Sammy Newman
Katie Hollowell, Contributing Writer
Some students are uncomfortable with a $96,000 pilot program that tracks Wi-Fi connections to automate class attendance, questioning why the university "needs to have our location."
Through Ram Attend, which piloted Nov. 8, when students connect their devices to the VCU Safenet Wireless network, a Wi-Fi access point is automatically recorded. The access point is then compared to class times and locations to specify attendance.
According to VCU's student success page, Ram Attend is being introduced to track regular class attendance, "one of the most important indicators for student success." The pilot is being used in smaller classrooms to test accuracy before introducing it in larger classes.
The website states that connection data is not used outside of designated classroom locations and times. The current pilot is using data for attendance, but it is unclear if the data will be used for other purposes.
"Aggregate (de-identified) data may be analyzed at the university level to improve other areas of student success," the website states. "Additional details will be available after the fall 2019 pilot."
Only focused inquiry classes — UNIV 111, 112 and 200 — are testing the new program. Since these classes are generally smaller in size, the professors can take attendance manually and compare it to Ram Attend results. Students whose classes were selected for the program were notified by email.
Some VCU students, such as sophomore Sarah Pritchard, don't understand why the program began so late in the semester.
"I understood they just wanted another way to track us and take attendance, but why they were doing it so late in the semester was confusing to me," Pritchard said. "Because that is not really an effective way to go about piloting something at least [to me] personally."
Pritchard, an environmental studies major, sees this as another way for the university to keep an eye on students. VCU tracks students when they log into SafeNet and records when and which access points your device connects to, according to the student success page.
"I feel like we are really already micromanaged, and I really don't want that," Pritchard said. "What's the problem with normal attendance or doing [something] like Top Hat attendance?"
Pritchard opted out of the program, not allowing VCU to track her location for class attendance.
Students are protected through the Family Educational Records Protection Act, or FERPA, which gives students the rights to their educational records. University officials will not have access to the data unless it is required under their job duties, which would apply to instructors and advisers.
There are also guidelines set by the vendor, Degree Analytics. VCU spokesperson Mike Porter said in an email that the university signed a one-year, $96,000 contract with Degree Analytics that would not affect tuition.
If a student decides to opt-in to the program, Degree Analytics will only record when the student logs in to the Wi-Fi for their class time and then filter out the rest of the data. Before the data is sent to the vendor, it will strip the student's eID and only show a V-Number.
Students selected for the pilot program can opt-out of having their attendance and Wi-Fi connection tracked through a Google Form link, which was included in a notification email about the program. Students not included in the pilot can also opt-out before the program extends to other classes.
Junior Samantha Son said the new program is causing a lot of anger and confusion on campus.
"I feel like while it may streamline attendance procedures," the fashion merchandising major said, "many effective tools like Top Hat or other things are already set in place."

While this new pilot is irritating many of my fellow students, the reality is that VCU already knows where each one of your wireless devices are at any time while on campus. The real question is how far back do they keep these logs?
Every time your cellphone, laptop, tablet, heck even your Roku connects to the VCU Safenet it's authenticating you and assigning an Internet Protocol (IP) address to that device, likely capturing the MAC (Media Access Control) Address (the only truly unique address for all internet connected devices) and the device name along with your eID. This is done so when you go from access point to access point or building to building you can have a continuous internet connection. Think of it as the same idea as why your cell phone doesn't drop your call as you drive down the road passing one cell tower to another, and how the cops can figure out the last location your cellphone was used if something happened to you. Even the wireless router at your parents' house is capturing some information about your devices every time they connect to it.
If you want to be a bit more anonymous while on campus or in class, you'll either need to use just your cellular data (VCU can't track you that way) and the DUO authentication (they'll only know that you've logged into the websites) or use the guest network and use a dummy email address to get access, and then use DUO to get to the websites you need. The latter they can track your device, but shouldn't know who you are…
Over half of selected VCU UNIV students opted out of WiFi tracking program


Among the hustle and bustle of 14th Street's trendiest bars and restaurants lies an art studio home to one of D.C.'s most beloved artists, Brian Petro.
This small workspace, lined with brick and exposed beams, is packed with works of art Petro has created over the decades.
Working as professional artist for years, Petro spent much of his time bouncing between New York and Washington, exhibiting at galleries and working on commissions from clients like Absolut Vodka, Ritz-Carlton Hotels and the Library of Congress.
But a few years ago, Petro decided to stay-put with a permanent studio space in the District, directly below the 14th Street contemporary home furnishing store, Vastu.
At Vastu, Petro works as a kind-of "resident artist and curator," exhibiting his own art on the walls and also contracting other artists to display their work in the store.
Currently, some of Petro's latest artwork adorns the expansive space at Vastu, including pieces from Supermarket Series and Roman Series. And while both are drastically different in look and media used, the two series have one thing in common: the artwork is influenced by different periods of time in Petro's life.
The colorful and vibrant pieces in Supermarket Series pay homage to Petro's time spent working in the produce department at a grocery store in central Pennsylvania.
Supermarket Series embodies more than Petro's time spent in Pennsylvania; the series is also inspired by old grocery and bodega signs that Petro found while dumpster diving for found-art in Manhattan – A city he loves and describes as gritty, yet bright and energetic.
Similarly, the more somber pieces in Roman Series were inspired from another period of time in Petro's life. When he was 22, Petro took his first trip to Europe and spent some time in Rome and other cities throughout Italy.
"I was just floored by Italy," said Petro, who attempts capture the complexity of Roman society with simple, stoic gazes of ancient statues and ruins.
Petro's work will be displayed in Vastu through July 16. Additionally, Petro will open his studio to the public this weekend for the Mid City Artists Open Studio tours. Petro will be on-hand to show his work and answer questions from visitors from 11am until 6:30pm on Saturday and noon until 4:30pm on Sunday.
Interested persons can also schedule a free personal tour of Brian's studio until July 16 by phoning the artist directly at (202) 270-7352. For more information, visit http://www.brianpetro.com.

Rachel Uchitel: I Never "Wanted to Break Up" David Boreanaz's Family
Rachel Uchitel tells UsMagazine.com someone leaked text messages between her and actor David Boreanaz to portray her in a "false light."
On Thursday, RadarOnline posted the messages in which Uchitel — a NYC club hostess who was first linked to Tiger Woods — lashes out at him for not spending enough time with her.
In one message, she writes: "Just (bleeping) go and be with her … I need you here so we can be together."
Boreanaz, 40, pleads back, "Why do u act like such a (bleeping) child!!! She is my wife."
PHOTOS: Stars caught cheating
Uchitel tells Us the messages are "not authentic" and "taken completely out of context."
"I feel compelled to address the false picture that has been portrayed," she says. "For reasons unknown to me, I believe that someone is deliberately trying to portray me in a false light. These texts should not have been published."
She says she has "many authentic text messages between David and myself which portray a completely different picture."
PHOTOS: Famous women who've been cheated on
She insists Boreanaz — who announced May 4 that he had been unfaithful to his wife of nearly nine years, Jaime Bergman — "pursued" her.
"The authentic texts, which I have, reveal that David Boreanaz repeatedly expressed his deep love and affection towards me," she says.
She tells Us she "broke off the relationship" because she "no longer respected or trusted him … I am deeply hurt and offended that anyone would think that I wanted to break up his family. Nothing could be further from the truth."
PHOTOS: Tiger Woods' sex scandal: A look back
In a statement, her attorney Gloria Allred tells Us:
"Rachel Uchitel had a romantic relationship with David Boreanaz. She understood that he was unhappy in his marriage and had been for some time and she had reason to believe that he intended to separate from his wife. He continually asked Ms. Uchitel to be patient and to wait for him. Some of the reasons that she believed him include that he spoke to Ms. Uchitel on the telephone and through text messages from morning until night on a regular basis. He treated her as his girlfriend and also took her out in public. He called her between takes when he was taping his television show and put her on the telephone with his friends and his son. He even stayed with Ms. Uchitel when he came to New York for press tours. He gave her a silver key on a chain to symbolize "the key to their hearts." He also sent her a video of himself telling her how much he loved her, that he loved her then and that he would love her forever. She has kept the video. Their relationship ended because Ms. Uchitel decided to break it off. She felt that he had not been completely truthful with her and she no longer trusted him."


Most of you know by now that OnePlus is planning to launch the OnePlus 7 later this year, along with a 5G model. While there are hardly any details surrounding the 5G version, a new leak allegedly shows a couple of images. One of those images shows a smartphone called OnePlus 7 Pro, which is a rather strange name because the company has never used the name 'Pro' in any of its models before. Its design is also a lot different than what OnePlus has been churning out these past couple of years, so let us check these images out in more detail.
According to two images leaked via Weibo, the OnePlus 7 Pro will have curved side edges, similar to what Samsung and Huawei employ on their devices to increase the overall aesthetic score of their devices. There's no notch, and there's a chin bezel, meaning that OnePlus might rely on a pop-up selfie camera. However, there's something interesting present in the second image, if you look closely. Even though the name of the smartphone is OnePlus 7 Pro, there's an image of the OnePlus 6T where the hardware specifications are detailed.
The details read a massive 6.67-inch Optic AMOLED screen, a Snapdragon 855, a triple rear camera sensor, 8GB RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The device where all these hardware specifications are listed shows a teardrop notch at the top center of the display, showing that it is undoubtedly the OnePlus 6T. It is strange why they wouldn't add an image of the OnePlus 7 Pro rather than placing a press render of the OnePlus 6T, but hopefully, those changes will be implemented soon.
If you want to experience 5G connectivity on a OnePlus smartphone, you'll have to cough up some extra cash for that. According to the company's CEO, customers should expect to pay between $200-$300 more than what they paid for the OnePlus 6T if they want to experience what it's like to use a 5G smartphone. OnePlus also stated that the 5G-ready handset will arrive during the end of May this year, so we'll keep you posted on the latest info in the near future.

Woman Who Claimed Brutality Over 'Nothing' Is Indicted On 5 Charges
Holly Matkin - September 24, 2018
Bodycam footage showed Emily Weinman as she fought and spit on Wildwood police officers during her arrest.
Wildwood, NJ – A woman seen in a viral video as she fought and spit on Wildwood police officers during an arrest at a local beach on Memorial Day weekend has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault on a police officer.
A Cape May County grand jury also indicted Emily Weinman, who is now 21 years old, on charges of throwing bodily fluids, obstruction, and resisting arrest, the Associated Press reported.
A bystander's cell phone footage of Weinman's arrest quickly went viral, and showed one officer as he hit the combative woman during the altercation.
The officers involved in the entitled woman's arrest were cleared of wrongdoing by Cape May County prosecutor Jeffrey Sutherland on June 5, NJ.com reported.
Weinman was offered a plea agreement, but turned it down in July, according to the Associated Press.
The incident occurred at approximately 4 p.m. on May 26, when Wildwood police encountered Weinman at the beach with her boyfriend and 18-month-old daughter.
The officers noted that Weinman and her boyfriend were in possession of alcohol, and asked them how old they were.
In a since-deleted Facebook post, Weinman explained that although she was underage, 90 percent of people who drink alcohol on the beach are underage "without a doubt."
When the officers asked for their ages, she admitted they were underage, bodycam footage showed.
She claimed that the alcohol belonged to her aunt, so the officer asked her to contact her to have her come to their location.
Weinman grabbed her cell phone, then wandered away from the officers.
"Go grab her real quick," one officer told his partner. "We're gonna have them pour that all out."
In her post, Weinman claimed that the officer was going to let her off with a warning, but that he changed his mind after she told him he needed to find "something better to do" than to address underage drinking on the beach.
Weinman argued that "you're allowed to carry alcohol," even when underage, and claimed she had done nothing wrong, because she hadn't consumed any, the video showed.
The officer explained that possession of alcohol was still a violation, despite Weinman's beliefs to the contrary.
When the officers asked Weinman and her boyfriend for their identifying information, she became argumentative, and refused to cooperate.
Weinman said that she "did not do anything wrong," so she refused to give the officer her name because "anything could've been written down on that paper," according to her Facebook post.
"You'll lock me up for obstruction with my f–king 18-month-old daughter over there?" she asked an officer at one point in the video.
Despite being given multiple additional opportunities to provide officers with her name, Weinman continued to argue and kicked one of the officers before she began to leave the area, according to police.
"Okay, that's it. I'm done with you," the officer said, grabbing a pair of handcuffs from his partner. "Come here."
"Don't you f–king touch me!" Weinman turned around and yelled, before she resumed her march away from the pursuing officer.
"You're about to get dropped," he cautioned her.
"Yo! Don't f–king cuff me!" Weinman yelled.
According to Wildwood Police Chief Robert Regalbuto, Weinman "forcibly struck" the officer in the torso, which caused his camera to turn off, NJ.com reported.
You can see the camera going off at the moment of impact.
That's when Weinman said she backed up and "tripped and fell." After tripping and falling, she claimed the officer somehow tackled her to the ground and "smashed my head in the sand."
"At that point I blacked out and fought any way possible trying to get up and push him off me," Weinman posted.
The fight between the officer and Weinman was underway when the officer managed to reactivate his bodycam.
As they tumbled onto the sand, Weinman hurled expletives at the officer, and continued to resist arrest, the video showed.
"They're choking me!" she began to scream, while beachgoers looked on. "You f–king d-ck head! Get the f–k off me, yo!"
The officer delivered several strikes to subdue the combative woman, who began wailing and screaming for her boyfriend.
"You're not allowed to beat me like that!" she complained in the video. "I'm a woman!"
"Get off me! My daughter is right there seeing this!" Weinman continued, while the officers secured her in handcuffs.
Weinman turned her head, and spit at one of the officers during the scuffle before she was led away to a waiting patrol vehicle.
"I can say if I took even a sip, then I would've gave them my information and called it a day; I'm underage, so I know better" Weinman wrote in her Facebook post. "But this whole situation was handled wrongly and blew out of proportion all because these pigs didn't do their jobs the way they were TRAINED to do so."
In the past, Weinman's attorney, Stephen Dicht, argued that she was the victim of excessive force, and that the altercation left her with injuries, depression, and made her a "prisoner in her home," NJ.com reported.
The bodycam video is located HERE.

Facebook Moderator Sues Company, Says Moderating Users Gave Her PTSD
Detroit Officer Fired Over Social Media Post


Working from home often conjures up the image of people lounging about in their pyjamas, possibly stealing the odd nap here and there (well, you would, wouldn't you?), and best of all working without your manager or colleagues watching your every move.
But in reality, flexible or remote working is fast becoming one of the best ways to work and is becoming more and more popular. While there are obvious reasons it suits the employee; reducing travel costs, managing childcare and improve work/life balance, it also favours the employer.
I'm writing this article from the comfort of my home as, luckily, I need very little equipment to make it work: broadband, a laptop, access to work emails and shared drives and a phone. It means I've got the flexibility to look after my five-month-old without going brain dead by doing something creative.
But it comes as no surprise to know that most media jobs allow working from home because of the nature of the job but there are more careers who are jumping on remote working bandwagon. In fact, HR/recruitment was one of the fastest growing areas for working remotely in 2016.
Flexjobs, which carried out the research, has also just released its list of the top 100 companies for flexible working and while IT companies dominate the top spots, there are a number of areas which hadn't made the list before.
Brie Reynolds, Senior Career Specialist at FlexJobs, says: "While medical and health, computer and IT, customer service, education and training and sales have been well-represented on our previous annual lists, the finance and government career fields have really bolstered their presence in remote job opportunities. There are a huge variety of career fields offering remote jobs today.
What you need to work remotely?
Now this obviously depends on the business and work involved but, for HR and recruitment, it may be as simple as having access to a computer and internet. Most homes these days have broadband, but if not, then you can arrange the installation of a phone/broadband, or, if you have the provisions, a visit from the employer's technical staff.
This is crucial for working remotely (obviously) and it could be as basic as giving employees access to the organisation's emails and network drives or installing software like Skype to do interviews and video conference calls. A PC or laptop is pretty much all they need to do this and whilst most people will have this at home, a lot of companies do actually provide their own fully-loaded with all the drives, technology and software they need. It also means, if it breaks they can be replaced pretty quickly and easily.
Realistically, this can be an employee's lap, a corner of their sofa or sitting at the dining table, but only if it's just their laptop that they need. But if you want them to switch from home-mode to work-mode then they can easily set up their "office desk" in the corner of one their rooms, which has access to broadband and phone (landline or mobile phone signal), with their computer, paperwork and anything else they need to do the job. They can then treat it as if they were actually in the office, without all the usual distractions like gossiping colleagues, treats brought in for someone's birthday, or answering the phone which has been re-directed.
Who is remote working for?
While we all love the sound of allowing our employees to work from home for a number of reasons like cutting overheads and maximising office space, sadly not everyone is cut out for it.
Able to separate work from home life – and this is key. If they can't switch their mind off from all the household chores they can see around them, or they put work at the end of their to-do list, then don't bother asking them to work remotely.
Laura Deegan, one of the co-founders of Ernest Hunter Green, says they've made remote working a success for them. She says: "By offering true flexibility through remote working you offer the ideal working environment for an individual, it backs up our ethos of providing a genuinely 'grown up' trusting recruitment consultancy which we believe leads to a relationship based approach to candidates and clients.
Working remotely can often work for both the employer and employee and quite successfully, as it's been proven, but it's not for everyone. If you like the idea of offering remote working but aren't doing it already or you don't want to go all out then you could try allowing some staff working remotely once a month or even once a week to see how it goes.


"I do what I do because I love it."
Hi. My name is Ulfrica Talley and I'm a home care worker who loves what she does. I took care of my best friend for 10 years after she contracted AIDS. I had no idea what AIDS was and I did not have any training. All the training I got was from working with her. It was a wonderful experience for me because I learned many things. I take care of a different client now who I've learned so many things from. I do what I do because I love it. I love meeting new people and I have made a difference knowing I am giving the best care possible. I will do this until I'm retired and I'll continue to learn and train each day.

Man suspected of raping woman in TA parking lot
Suspect allegedly threatens young couple with knife in Gan Ha'ir complex, forces woman into bathroom, rapes her.

Police suspect that a man attacked two youths, one female and one male, in the parking lot of the Gan Ha'ir complex in Tel Aviv overnight Friday and then proceeded to rape the female victim.
According to an initial investigation, the attacker apparently threatened the youths with a knife and attacked the young man. He then allegedly forced the female victim into the bathroom where he raped her.
The two were taken to Wolfson Medical Center in Holon for medical treatment.
The suspected attacker fled the scene before police arrived.
Police opened an investigation into the circumstances of the incident and were searching for suspects.


Preschool vs Daycare: What's the Difference?
Why is it that some parents think that full-day daycare and half-day preschool programs are very different? Why is daycare often viewed as babysitting, while preschool programs are viewed as providing kindergarten readiness? The reality is that children who go to daycare and children who go to preschool have similar needs and interests, and need similar programming.
In British Columbia, childcare programs, whether full-day daycare, or half-day preschool, are licensed under the Ministry of Health Community Care Facilities Child Care Licensing Branch, and must meet rigid standards for health, safety, and programming.
Parents seeking childcare should choose full or half-day programs according to their own needs.
The philosophy of the centre should match the beliefs of the parents.
A high-quality program will follow a regular schedule of activities. The activities should match the developmental abilities and interests of the children and promote all areas of child development.
The environment should be interesting and challenging, yet safe.
There will be a proper ratio of qualified adults to children, and the staff will work with the children in a caring, consistent fashion. Staff members should also model appropriate behaviors, and nurture self-esteem.
At the Salmo Children's Centre, the early childhood professionals in the half-day preschool and the full-day daycare provide education in a nurturing environment that meets the needs of the children. The preschool program stresses social, emotional and physical growth, and we try not to get caught up in thinking that we need to provide academic activities in a structured, school-like way. In the daycare program, the educators avoid the stereotype of providing only custodial care, by creating regular lesson plans with activities for all areas of development. As shown in the sample schedule below, the daily morning schedule for preschool and daycare are very similar. Unlike preschool, the daycare schedule will include lunch and an afternoon quiet time. The daycare will also repeat aspects of the morning schedule in the afternoon (e.g., group time, free play, story time, outside play, snack). The only real difference between the two settings is that preschool children arrive all at once and stay for only 2 ½ hours, while children arrive at daycare according to their parents' work schedules. Qualifications of the staff are the same in both programs.
The goal of the entire childcare community is to plan activities that are safe, appropriate and promote a variety of skills. Early Childhood Educators have risen to this challenge and are proud of our dedication, professionalism and insight into the needs of young children. We encourage parents to choose either a full-day daycare program, or a half-day preschool program, whichever suits your family's needs.

I have an on-going love affair of savory scones, and it's because of these scones right here.
I've talked about these scones before; they're a little sweet and a whole lot savory, and they have the perfect balance of flavor. As much as I'd like to, I can't take credit for coming up with these tasty delights. No, these scones are from Isa Chandra Moskowitz and published several years ago in one of my very favorite vegan cookbooks, Vegan Brunch.
As an aside, I had a conversation with Isa one time about Vegan Brunch. Well, calling it a conversation is a little bit generous. It was more like me gushing to her like a #1 fan and her listening politely. I was gushing about how I loved Vegan Brunch and Isa told me that, shockingly, it was least popular of all her cookbooks.
I found that astounding. My copy is worn and stained from all the use it gets at my house.
If you've made anything by Isa before, then you know that her recipes are bursting at the seams with flavor, and these scones are no exception. I modified the recipe only slightly; I cut down on the sugar and added red pepper flakes as well as a ton of fresh cracked pepper. I also added much more rosemary because I love how fragrant it is in these scones.
I like them because they only require just a few cheap ingredients, taste amazing, and they're quick to make. I can get a batch done in about 30 minutes.
I might add some fresh chopped sage to this recipe the next time I make them because sage is the perfect complement to rosemary.
There are delicious, wonderfully savory possibilities, that's what I'm saying here.
A vegan scone that's a little sweet and a whole lot savory. Perfect for any bread basket!
In a large bowl, combine: flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, fresh cracked pepper, red chili flakes, and rosemary.
In a large measuring cup whisk together: tomato sauce, vinegar, and oil.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the tomato/oil mixture. Gently mix together. Don't over-mix, you don't want to develop the gluten in the flour- mix only until the batter is loosely holding together.
Divide dough into two sections and form each into a six inch disk. Slice each disk into six pieces, like a pizza pie. I use a pizza cutter to do this and it works perfect!
Bake for 10 - 14 minutes.
Optional: Add other fresh chopped herbs like chives or sage. If you don't care for heat, omit the red chili flakes.
Wonderful recipe, could you please tell me if tomato sauce is the same as passatta/ sieved tomatoes?
Wow! I have to make this soon (prabably today!) :) looks absolutely delicious andso simple. I guess these would also be great if frozen (I always like to cook more and save for later, when it comes to breads or savory baking) Thank you for sharing!
Hello again, two months after I found this wonderful recipe, and I've already made it several times! I added fresh thyme in the past. Today I made it again for probably the 6th time and I substituted half organic cornmeal for a more seasonal feeling. It came out great as always, and my boyfriend gets excited every time I make them. They don't last in our house more than two days between the two of us. I am just writing back just to show how amazing these are and guys these are so worth it! They take 10 mins to make and mix, 10 mins to clean up the kitchen after, and 14 mins. The kitchen mess will be clean before these are out of the oven. I've actually yet to have these as a breakfast meal. Usually I'll serve it with dinner, which I plan on tonight. Marinated tempeh (instead of turkey), mushroom gravy, homemade cranberry sauce sandwiches with fresh homemade bread of course. With a baked potato and one of these scones! Boyfriend texted me saying he can't wait to get home from work to enjoy these once again.
Wow !! These look so yum! I'm from India and didn't even know what scones were until I came across this recipe. We don't get rosemary or sage here. So I guess I will try this with some Indian spices like jeera, ajwain & methi instead and serve with cashew "cheese" :) Thanks !!


The goal of the Green Party of Manitoba is to support the development of healthy communities where individuals can reach their full potential. We do this by putting forward economic and social policies that are environmentally sound and geared to meeting the needs of all of our citizens.
All of us need meaningful employment and/or incomes that allow us to live healthy, dignified lives. Fresh air, clean water and nutritious food along with safe, affordable housing complete the picture.
It's obvious that many Manitobans do not enjoy these basic necessities. Manitoba is routinely cited for its child poverty and the province leads the country in homicide rates and children in care. At the same time, our governments are pursuing wasteful, old-fashioned energy policies and missing out on economic development strategies that could produce jobs and opportunities for thousands of Manitobans.
Here are some of the policies that Dave Nickarz and the Green Party would promote in the Manitoba Legislature.
The economy of the future will be green to enable us to make the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy technology. This transition must begin at home. Instead of investing billions in new hydro mega-projects, Greens believe we must use this money to make our homes, businesses and public spaces energy efficient. In addition to reducing our energy use, this will generate thousands of jobs. Additionally, we believe Manitoba should invest in green research & development and educate our young people to prosper in the green economy of the future.
With the many advantages Manitoba has, we should be a paradise for all of our citizens. Instead, poverty and inequality are on the increase. This must end. Part of the solution lies in developing a strong, green economy that will provide good jobs. But we must also act to help people who are unable to work, or whose incomes do not permit them to live dignified lives.
The Green Party of Manitoba proposes that we reform the tax system to ensure that all members of our society receive a guaranteed basic income that would enable them to live comfortably. The costs of a basic income program would be offset by lower costs for the justice system, healthcare and traditional income support programs.
Sadly, Manitoba leads the country in the number of children in care. While children who are at risk of abuse or neglect must always be protected, apprehending them must be done only as a last resort. Greens believe we must provide more resources to help families stay together.
With advances in solar, wind and geothermal energy technologies, Manitoba's reliance on northern hydroelectric dams must be examined to see if it is still a good strategy. While it made good sense in the last century to finance our hydro development with energy exports, this strategy is no longer viable because our traditional customers are finding renewable energy alternatives closer to home.
It seems likely that Manitoba Hydro customers will be saddled with a massive debt for decades to come that can only be paid off with big increases in their utilities bills.
For these reasons, Greens support a moratorium on current hydro projects and the development of a provincial energy strategy that makes use of new technologies.
Additionally, Greens believe that governments must encourage the use of electric vehicles and the expansion of public transportation. Moreover, we must stop subsidizing the petroleum industry.
Greens are completely opposed to the construction of this pipeline. And because of the threats to human health and the environment, we are opposed to the practice of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) that is commonly practised in Manitoba's oil fields.
As we've seen in recent weeks, food that we import has become increasingly expensive. Part of this is related to the unfavorable exchange rate between the Canadian and US dollars, but part is associated with the long distances food travels to reach Manitoba.
Greens believe that we must do much more to promote local, organic agriculture as a way of ensuring food security. And we believe more can be done to promote green houses, especially as a way of reducing the cost of food in remote northern communities.

Rank'Em: Staff Predicts Cowboys' 53-Man Roster
Nick Eatman
DallasCowboys.com Staff Writer / Senior Manager, Digital Media
FRISCO, Texas – The roster cuts are officially due on Saturday at 3 p.m., but it's never too early to speculate.
As the Cowboys still have one preseason game to play, it will be the last game for many players on the roster – and some of them perhaps their final game ever.
But by Saturday afternoon, the roster will be trimmed nearly in half, with some players getting waived, some going to IR and even the suspension list.
The staff writers of DallasCowboys.com weighed in on their final 53, including a healthy debate about the final 10 bubble players.
While nothing has been finalized or even seems close to being done, the staff decided to keep Ezekiel Elliott on the roster for now, assuming he will get a deal done and make it for the first game of the season. If that doesn't happen, there could be some shakeups at running back, but for now, the staff is under the assumption that Zeke will make it back.
That's just one of the decisions they had to make. Others include what to do with Taco Charlton and the crowded defensive end position. Do they keep six cornerbacks? What about six receivers? And does Mike White stay alive on the 53-man roster?
Check out the 53 players the Cowboys have making the final roster on Saturday.
Rank'Em: Staff Predicts Cowboys' 53-Man Roster
From top to bottom, the staff writers have weighed in on the final 53-man roster, predicting all the way to the end, including a debate on the final 10 bubble players.
Robert Quinn: Will move the Reserve/Suspension List and be eligible to return after the Week 2 game in Washington.
Connor McGovern: He will certainly be on the team, but if his recent pectoral injury is cause for concern, he could wind up on IR. The staff predicts McGovern will be on IR-eligible for return and could come back after eight weeks.
The Cowboys kick off the regular season against the New York Giants on Sept. 8th at AT&T Stadium. Tickets start at $35. Get your tickets now!
Rank'Em: Cowboys History By Days Of The Week

Rank'Em: Who's Left From 2020 Free-Agent Class?
While the free-agent class of 2020 looked to be one of the best back in March, less than half are still on the roster. Stephen Jones said it won't change the philosophy of free agency moving forward. Let's review the class.
Rank'Em: Best WR of Camp? Here's The Group 1-10
The wide receiver position has been one of the most intriguing spots of training camp, with the atrrival of CeeDee Lamb. So where does he rank as the writers picked the best WRs from 1-10?
Rank 'Em: Dak Prescott's Top 10 Moments So Far
We've ranked Prescott's Top 10 performances/moments as the Cowboys' quarterback since 2016.

The official Madden 21 video game won't be released until Aug. 28, but the player ratings are out. Check out the Top 25 Cowboys, according to their Madden ratings.
Rank'Em: Best Position Group – QB, WR or OT?
What position is the strongest on the team heading into camp? Is it the wide receivers? What about the quarterbacks, running backs or O-line? Our writers ranked 12 positions from top to bottom.
Rank'Em: After Dak, Who Else Needs New Deal?
Now that Dak Prescott can't get a new deal until 2021, he joins nearly a dozen others who will likely be seeking new contacts as well. We ranked the Cowboys' priority list.
Rank' Em: Best OU Sooners in Cowboys History
Under Mike McCarthy, the Cowboys have already tapped into a well of players who developed at Oklahoma. It got us thinking to the best Sooners in franchise history.
Rank' Em: Stacking Dak vs. QBs on 2020 Schedule
The Cowboys will face plenty of top QBs on the 2020 schedule. There are four No. 1 overall picks, two NFL MVPs and five players who have started a Super Bowl. So where does Dak Prescott fit in?
Rank 'Em: The Cowboys' 8 All-Time Franchise Tags
The Cowboys haven't played tag too often over the last 27 years, but Dak Prescott is the most recent player to receive the franchise tender.
Rank 'Em: How Many 1st-Rounders On The Roster?
Even with several key players leaving this offseason, the Cowboys still have double-digit first-round draft picks on the roster. Just how many? Let's take a look.

Home WSLM NEWS News Ticker Jeff Brohm Takes Helm as New Purdue Football Coach
Jeff Brohm Takes Helm as New Purdue Football Coach
Jeff Brohm, one of the most innovative offensive masterminds in college football, has been named the 36th full-time head football coach at Purdue University, athletics director Mike Bobinski announced Monday.
Brohm's contract, a six-year agreement, is pending approval by the Purdue Board of Trustees. Details will be released thereafter.
An introductory press conference will take place at 3 p.m. ET today in the Buchanan Club of Ross-Ade Stadium. The press conference will be televised live by BTN and streamed on BTN2Go.
"We were fortunate to meet with many talented coaches from around the country during our search, and Jeff's name was one that rose to the top early in the process," Bobinski said. "He is a coach who already has achieved tremendous success and, at the same time, has incredible upside. His reputation and record of accomplishment as an innovative offensive coach and developer of quarterbacks is second to none. That pedigree, combined with his commitment to developing the complete student-athlete and doing so with integrity makes him a perfect fit for Purdue University. I am extremely excited to have Jeff as our head football coach."
Brohm comes to Purdue from Western Kentucky University, where he compiled a remarkable 30-10 overall record (.750 winning percentage), including a 19-5 Conference USA mark (.792), from 2014 to 2016.
The Hilltoppers were league champions in 2015 and 2016, the first back-to-back titles as an FBS member in school history. They won the 2014 Bahamas Bowl (49-48 over Central Michigan) and the 2015 Miami Beach Bowl (45-35 over Miami, Fla.) and will play in the 2016 Boca Raton Bowl on Dec. 20. Western Kentucky was ranked No. 24 in the final 2015 Associated Press poll.
Western Kentucky is one of 10 teams nationally with 10 or more wins each of the last two seasons, along with Alabama, Boise State, Clemson, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, San Diego State, Temple and Wisconsin.
The Hilltoppers have averaged 44.6 points, 356.6 passing yards and 526.2 yards of total offense per game over the last three seasons. Their starting quarterbacks have completed 69.2 percent of their passes and thrown 131 touchdowns with merely 25 interceptions. Their offense has averaged 7.3 yards per play, while running 72.1 plays per game. Western Kentucky has broken more than 75 school offensive records since 2013, when Brohm served as assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Under Brohm, Western Kentucky ranked in the top 10 nationally in scoring offense (No. 6 in 2014, No. 3 in 2015 and No. 2 in 2016); passing offense (No. 2 in 2014, No. 4 in 2015 and No. 5 in 2016); and total offense (No. 4 in 2014, No. 9 in 2015 and No. 7 in 2016) each of his three seasons.
At the same time, the Hilltoppers improved their scoring defense from 121st nationally in 2014 (39.9) to 39th in 2016 (24.1), their total defense from 120th (509.9) to 37th (367.8) and their rushing defense from 111th (220.8) to fourth (99.1).
This season, Western Kentucky ranks second nationally in punt returns (17.9), fifth in kickoff returns (26.8) and 31st in net punting (39.2).
A 14-year collegiate coaching veteran, Brohm served as an assistant coach at Louisville (quarterbacks 2003-06, assistant head coach/passing game 2007, assistant head coach/offensive coordinator 2008); Florida Atlantic (quarterbacks 2009); Illinois (quarterbacks 2010-11); UAB (offensive coordinator/quarterbacks 2012); and Western Kentucky (assistant head coach/offensive coordinator/quarterbacks 2013). He began his career as the head coach of the Louisville Fire in the af2 in 2002.
Brohm enjoyed an outstanding collegiate career as a quarterback at Louisville from 1989 to 1993. A three-year starter, he ranks among the Cardinals' career leaders in touchdown passes (sixth, 38), total offense (seventh, 5,410), completion percentage (eighth, .562), passing yards (eighth, 5,451), passing efficiency (eighth, 129.97), passing attempts (ninth, 715) and completions (ninth, 402). Brohm was voted the team's Most Valuable Player during both his junior and senior seasons, and always will be remembered for his gritty performance in leading Louisville to an 18-7 victory over Michigan State in the 1993 Liberty Bowl. Playing with two steel pins and a steel plate in the index finger of his throwing hand, Brohm completed 19-of-29 passes for 197 yards and a touchdown, while playing in 20-degree temperatures and freezing rain, to earn the game's MVP award. His number 11 was honored by Louisville as part of its Ring of Honor in 2006.
While at Louisville, Brohm also played two seasons of minor league baseball in the Cleveland Indians' organization, as an outfielder with the Burlington Indians of the Appalachian League (Rookie) in 1990 and the Watertown Indians of the New York-Penn League (Class A) in 1991.
Brohm played seven seasons in the National Football League with the San Diego Chargers (1994), Washington Redskins (1995-96), San Francisco 49ers (1997-98), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1998), Denver Broncos (1999) and Cleveland Browns (2000). In eight career games – all with the 49ers – he completed 37-of-58 passes (63.8 percent) for 353 yards with one touchdown and one interception. In 2001, Brohm played in the XFL for the Orlando Rage and was named first team All-XFL.
Brohm was a standout player at Trinity High School in Louisville. He won the Kentucky Mr. Football Award as a senior in 1988 while leading the Shamrocks to a state championship and undefeated season. Brohm was named the Kentucky High School Player of the Decade for the 1980s and was inducted into the Kentucky High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame in 2014.
A native of Louisville, Brohm (born April 24, 1971) earned his bachelor's degree in business administration in 1994. He and his wife, Jennifer, have a son, Brady, and a daughter, Brooke. Jeff is one of four family members to be a football letterwinner at Louisville, along with his father, Oscar (quarterback 1966-69), and younger brothers, Greg (wide receiver 1989-92) and Brian (quarterback 2004-07). The Brohm family, including mother, Donna, and sister, Kim, was inducted into the Louisville Catholic Sports Hall of Fame in 2013.

Since the Russians first came across vodka in the 14th century, it has become an infamous symbol of Russian identity. Rivaling other symbols such as the brown bear, vodka even has its own holiday dedicated to it, the day on which scientist Dmitry Mendeleyev presented his doctoral dissertation on the combination of water and alcohol. As legend has it, it was the publication of this paper that eventually inspired Tsar Nicholas II to ask Mendeleyev to create a standardised recipe for Russian vodka at the end of the 19th Century. Yet, the existence of a special day dedicated to the beverage is by no means to say that vodka is not appreciated by the Russian population every other day of the year, and the beverage has come to be a key feature of everyday Russian life and identity.
Vodka is a symbol closely linked to Russian nationalism, a source of Russian pride. For example, an advertisement for the brand of vodka Stolichnaya depicts a Russian soldier. Defending one's Motherland is the true essence of Russian muzhestvenost' (manliness), and the association between the patriotic man and the patriotic drink does not go unnoticed. The relationship between Russian nationalism and the drink has even recently led Russian MP Mikhail Degtyaryov to argue that the government ought to copyright vodka. In an age of increasing contempt towards the West, Degytyaryov noted that given that Russia was the first country to produce the liquid, and the word 'vodka' has been borrowed from Russian, no other country should be allowed to use the word!
However, this symbol of pride and national identity is also the source of such despair for the Russian population. Alcohol-related deaths in some regions of Russia accounted for as many as 70 percent of deaths of men under 35 in 2017, according to Russia's chief health official. The Russian government argues that such a high death toll is the result of counterfeit alcohol consumption, but the population disagrees. Whilst living in Russia, my lecturer told me "50% of Russian men are drunks, and 50% are lazy. You have to pick and choose." It seems that alcoholism is an innate part of the Russian psyche, a way to cope with the depression of Russian life, embodied by the well-known Russian phrase nyet nekrasivich zhenshchin est' malo vodki (there's no such thing as ugly women, just not enough vodka). As Dmitry Bykov, a contemporary Russian author said, 'without vodka, the vulnerable soul of a Russian and cruel reality would scratch each other, but alcohol helps Russians to deal with the world.' A joke? Well, there is undeniably some basis to it.
Vodka is therefore a key symbol of Russian identity: both a defining patriotic symbol and destroyer of Russian culture. It is the symbol of Russian pride, a drink that is consumed by true Russian men at the dinner table, and a sign of their national identity. But it is also the downfall of the nation: a sign of the desperate need to escape Russian daily life, and with the increasing isolation and economic turmoil in Putin's Russia, it doesn't seem like the trend will be bucked in the near future.

Hello, all you top-lists lovers; today we have a new one for you: the 10 most expensive highways in the world.
Roads were developed over time as people traveled the same paths over and over by foot, eventually leading to traveling by horse and then by carriage. In the modern era, highways became essential because of the mass transit of people and raw materials transport, including bolstering national defense systems in times of crisis. It is impossible to imagine the world without roads, considering that modern business depends on the effectiveness of the transport from all over the world.
To get more into the subject, we first need to explain the meaning of the word highway and then get into the details. The term "highway" includes all public roads on land; this refers to all main roads and public tracks. This term is not to be confused with freeway (motorway), as often people think. As we said earlier, "highway" already includes the freeway.
The richest countries in the world are known for their quality roads. We can mention a few countries that have the biggest, such as Australia and China. Australia's pride and joy is their Highway 1 for being the largest in the world with over 9,009 miles. This highway connects all the parts of the continent, making transport much easier. China and the United States each have one of the largest highway networks in the world, and they are pretty close considering the number of the roads. The interstate system connects every state in the continental U.S., and in Europe, we have the European Routes Highway.
All the major highway projects in the world cost a fortune, and we tried to find relevant data on the total cost of their construction on the Web. If we look closer at the requirements, money is essential for building a quality road. While making this list, we considered several reports of the most expensive transportation projects published on Rediff and a list of the most extraordinary highways published on Business Insider.
Also, we can say that resources are one of the crucial facts, including manpower and time for building. That could not be done without the significant funds that states provide, ensuring that they will have the best quality roads for the price, so we ranked the roads by the amount of funds invested in them.
After you finish reading our list, be sure to check out the 6 most expensive public schools built in America. When you combine these two texts, you will realize that investing more funds often gives you better quality.
Let's see the list of the 10 Most Expensive Highways in the World; prepare for some enormous sums of money.


This innovation looks to influence and enable the national policy on extension and advisory services and test the collaborative approach to providing farmer support as defined in the policy.
The policy proposes a move away from traditional top-down approaches to focus on responding to users' expressed needs, ambitions and circumstances, linked to participatory, shared research and learning.
The policy sees a reduced operational role for the state focusing on setting policy directions and coordinating extension and advisory services.
The innovation has engaged with stakeholders in KwaZulu-Natal Province with the aim of seeking agreement on how the different stakeholders can begin to work according to the collaborative model. The innovation envisages setting up a pilot of this collaborative model.


Zillow is an online real estate database that was founded in 2005 by Rich Barton and Lloyd Frink, former Microsoft executives and founders of Microsoft spin-off Expedia. The website uses a proprietary algorithm called the "Zestimate" to appraise property values based on undisclosed factors. Sellers can use Zillow as a marketing tool by appraising their properties, posting property information such as improvements and access to major roads; and comparing nearby property value appraisals. Buyers can freely access and track such information online. The website currently tracKRG100 million valuations throughout the United States. Zillow was ranked in the top 300 U.S. sites in terms of traffic by Alexa.[It has encountered controversy over alleged appraisal licensing violations in some states and the degree of inaccuracy and alleged inconsistencies of its appraisal algorithm. When the results of its appraisal algorithm are challenged and requests for corrections are made, Zillow states that it cannot change the estimate because it pulls in data from other sources and further states that the changes have to be made by the customer by going to the source(s) of the information. Zillow thus absolves itself from inaccurate estimations of a property's value. In addition, Zillow's lack of reliability is primarily because it cannot take into account any form of property renovations, condition of properties, upgrades to the property in the form of landscaping, roofing, kitchen improvements, etc. Therefore, two houses standing side-by-side with similar square footage and number of bedrooms are valued at the same price on Zillow, regardless of condition.
