I've always been a huge fan of portable food. Personal sized treats are always a crowd pleaser, and when I decided to sell a baked-good for a fundraiser for Caravan, I was set on making hand pies. A good friend of mine is a bit of a pie aficionado and when we teamed up for this fundraiser, I knew I had to have her help me develop a sinfully delicious hand pie recipes. Well two days of prep, countless test recipes, three different fillings, and hours of baking later, we came up with this wonderful sour cream based crust. We filled them with her signature jersey blueberry filling and sold over 80 of these bad boys at The Barbary. This recipe is great for summer fruits (peach, apricot, nectarine) but is also great for savory fillings too- We tried vegan chorizo and turkey with summer squash and they were all a hit, you could even go ahead an call them empanadas if you're feeling festive.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt. Add the butter and mix together. Put the bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes. On a clean dry counter roll out the dough, flattening butter into flour. Knead the dough until butter is throughly mixed into the crust and return to the freezer for an additional 5 minutes. Repeat once more and freeze for 10 minutes. If mixture becomes dry add milk. Fold in sour cream and combine. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight.
In a saucepan, combine all ingredients and simmer for 10 minutes or until mixture reduces and thickens.
On a floured surface, roll out dough until about 1/8 inch thick, an empanada press makes this easier. Cut dough into a 6 inch circle with a cutter or round bowl. Add 2 tablespoons mixture to center and fold dough over mixture, and sealing edges with a few drops of cool water. Cut a 'V' shaped vents in top and bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until golden brown.


All it takes is one slippery misstep and a fall to fracture your fibula. Next stop is the hospital followed by 10 weeks of disrupted life hobbling in a cast up to your knee.
One News-Leader Editorial Board member knows about that firsthand, and it could happen to anyone negotiating a snow- and ice-covered sidewalk that wasn't cleared.
Unfortunately, plenty of community sidewalks remained impassable or treacherous from our first big snow of the winter — for lack of initiative in some cases; perhaps resources, time or ignorance in others.
Still wondering who's responsible for clearing the sidewalk in front of your house or business?
You are. And it's even in writing.
Springfield city code section 98-74 asks citizens to "take reasonable measures, excluding physical repairs, to keep the sidewalk in front of or adjacent to the property or premises .... clear and free of hazards so as not to endanger or inconvenience pedestrians using such sidewalks."
Simply put, clearing the sidewalk, and your own walkway, is your responsibility and a matter of being a good neighbor to mail carriers, folks who aren't fully mobile and for our youngest pedestrians who walk to school.
With more than 500 miles of sidewalks in the city — much more when you add county neighborhoods around the city — it would take hundreds of workers to clear it all off, and that's not a wise use of taxpayer money.
Many parents drive kids to school when weather is bad or temperatures drop — perhaps leaving some to wonder why school is called off when main roads are clear. Just consider that driving is not an option for some low-income members of our community who may not own a car, or for parents working two jobs — and perhaps early hours — to support their families.
When you consider how many kids must walk, it's understandable why classes were canceled last week. Imagine how difficult and unsafe it is for little legs and feet to negotiate piles of crusty snow, or sidewalks caked with ice after unshoveled snow was packed down. Some of those kids walk more than a mile because free bus service is offered only to students who live 1.5 miles or more from school. Make that 3.5 miles for high school students. Would you want to walk more than three miles in ice and snow?
We know, we know: Older folks — some of us among them — might remember negotiating several snowy miles walking to school ("uphill both ways," right?), but we'll bet you didn't do with the kind of roads and traffic today's kids encounter.
Speaking of traffic last week, Paul Simon's "Slip Sliding Away" comes to mind. You'd think we Ozarkers had never driven in snow — but then, isn't that how it is every year with the first one? Pretty sure we were all old hands by the end of last year's winter-long Snowmaggedon. It was so bad, by late March the city had spent nearly $1 million in salt, plows and manpower — nearly three times what it spent the winter of 2012-13. And crews had plowed 53,516 lane miles compared with 14,527 lane miles the year before, according to information released by the city.
Let's hope that doesn't happen again, but when the next snowstorm strikes, we can all be a little more prepared.
Make sure you have an emergency kit with sand or kitty litter in your car (toss in a little shovel, too), in case you get stuck.
Stay back farther from the car in front of you. If you can wait for traffic to thin before heading out, even better.
If you have a car with four-wheel drive, consider offering rides to neighbors or co-workers. Or if you can get to the grocery store but your elderly neighbor can not, see if he or she needs something picked up.
Last week we caught good Samaritans helping folks dislodge cars from snowbanks; others helped scrape icy windshields and jump-start batteries. A News-Leader advertiser drove his salesperson back to our building after she was involved in a car accident on the way to see him. And we've heard from readers about neighbors going the extra mile to retrieve mail and newspapers. Anyone who's lived in the Ozarks since the big ice storm of 2007 knows our community steps up when people need help.
That brings us back around to those sidewalks. If you've been shoveling your walk — or good citizen that you are, shoveling beyond your own boundaries — we thank you on behalf of those who walk more safely.
Or if by now you've done a guilty head-smack about the unshoveled walk in front your house — perhaps you didn't know! — don't beat yourself up. The next time it snows, have your shovel on standby or find a young entrepreneur who's willing to clear it for you.
We're pretty sure you'll have a chance to redeem yourself. Punxsutawney Phil's prediction of six more weeks of winter appears to be coming true.

World at Work Conference, Chicago August 20-22, see you there!
What follows is a little list, we'll keep it live, of things that have proved difficult. Sometimes there is a best practice (like "Don't do that!") that will save one from the pitfall. Othertimes seemingly not.
A simple example of a maybe not so hard a problem is the aggregation-drives-rate-selection-to-be-applied-to-rows-that-drive-aggregation. It's the classic Tommy sold 4 million dollars of product, which means he's paid 7%, but we have to stamp each transaction that drove the aggregation with that 7%. There's no way around looking at/touching these transactions twice. It's not like there's any fiendish complexity here initially, it's just a pain. When later we learn that if one of these aggregated elements aggravated the buyer, who returned it, and now Tommy's sales are 3.87 million, and that means sorry, Tommy, 6% is what you really deserved and we will take back the difference and report why. Now it's a world of hurt. We reach out for a merciful and reasonable person to just book the delta in the current period - but, oh - to grasp air.
Clawbacks, a favorite behavior in telephony, whereas true-ups are favored in insurance, are different strategies for netting out, paying on, and reporting differences resulting from thrash. There are as many varieties on these behaviors as there are corporations, and whilst there are general patterns, ultimately some dastardly specific requirement like "We cannot use deltas - we must show offsets and onsets" will dictate the particular flaming hoops that need jumping. Many the circus animal has died prematurely.
Here's one that you don't come across every day but that will toast the socks of most VCATs. Let's say that a VCAT is a Variable Compensation Automation Tool. Conceptually it's simple as pie. Maybe I'm a sales executive who has become convinced that new customers are key to increased market share and total sales. I don't really want to sell less to my current customers, in fact, I'd be delighted to sell more, but I don't want to pay accelerated commission for upselling/inside sales. I mandate therefore that each existing customer shall have their own quota, and that rates shall decelerate once the quota for the customer is attained. Further I mandate, because not all things are equal, that rate of this deceleration may vary by customer. Hehe. You know these things can get worse too. Perhaps attaining quota for 75% of a rep's customers triggers a special annual bonus, or, worse, modifies the schedule of deceleration. Who needs celery anyway?
When we speak of the troubled and monstrous however, it is the word "Retroactively" that stirs fear in the righteous. Everything that has ever been is, of course, true - until we redefine it and delta the new definition of history against the the previous defintiion of all history. We'll stick with the new definition of all history until next month, when we do it again. Maybe we'll look back a year, or two. Retroactivity is the ultimate rathole you hope to avoid. It's better to hunt for it, of course, and to make sure to what extent the business has commited to specific systemic behaviors regarding it. I've worked with customers where the raw CPU demand of their regularly schedlued retroactive processing was a perceptible stress on the local power grid. Can't turn on the AC now. Most of all, in these cases, it's about understanding the classes of retroactive change that may occur. Is it merely that compensible events may be re-stated? Can a rep's plan or plan variables be re-stated? Do reports look the same in cases of re-statement?


- All sin is dangerous.
- Paul said in my flesh dwells no good thing.
- Sin may lie dormant but it is in you.
- Sin can make us become so discouraged but we have to make up our minds that we are going to struggle with sin every day.
- Sin is never acceptable to God.
- If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
- But if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
- No matter how hard you fall, Jesus is there to pick you up.

Lovely Awkward: A Year of Wine, Romance and Life Among the French: Final preparation for a lifetime of romance... really. Really?
Final preparation for a lifetime of romance... really. Really?
I'm enjoying one last hit of chunky peanut butter with only three days to go. Unlike the French (I've been told), I don't have to dip my toast in coffee. So, I can have it with chunky peanut butter. Or, I could if I could find it in France... but since I haven't yet, I'm stocking up on the experience now.

You would never want to wear high heels on the plane!
Will you be getting sick of peanut butter (like ever)?
Kerry MacGregor January 23, 2010 at 3:18 p.m.
I've returned the shoes. And the peanut butter jar is empty. I won't wear heels on the plane, but I'm going out now to see if there are some that I should pack in my case.
The Professor says I don't have to make an impression this time because he's already in love. But I still wouldn't mind having something to wear out on our first date.
That said, is romance supposed to make you superficial? I started all of this with a hangover and running shoes and now I'm talking about dressing up for dates. Ridiculous.
Once I buy these shoes, I'm going back to being a woman of substance and deep thought.

Yes, there are some technical considerations when it comes to search engines. However, any reasonably well-built website will be accessible to Google. You don't need an expert SEO company for that (at least not if the Web designer does their job right).
As an aside, it is worth noting that if you take accessibility seriously for users with disabilities (such as those with visual impairments), then you will also make a website accessible to Google.
However, setting those technical issues aside, it all comes down to content. If you create great content, people will link to it, and Google will improve your placement. It really is that simple.
The question then becomes, how do you create great content?
Great content is not only the essence of making a brilliant website, but also serves as a component of SEO friendly factors that improvises indexing. Google being one of the most popular search engines takes great care of indexing as it places the most relevant elements in the search results. In fact, Google discovers, crawls, indexes and serves the results. But what does Google discover in your website or the links you have created? The primary object is content which is synchronized with the website model.
This is definitely a better way, a far better way of logically defining the biggest challenges. As Google answers tens of millions of queries every day, it keeps improving the intelligence with every search and web link click. But why would someone click your web link in the search engine result? Even if you have managed to promote your website to the top of the search results, people will first go with the title of the page which in fact describes 50% of the page's description.
This title shown in the search result comes from metadata stored in the website. This metadata is highly important as it serves as the initial foundation to the concrete content available in the website. So it is very important to compose the metadata in a proper approach which would correctly define the sort of content present in the webpage.
Thinking of this, many have already tried copying content from some of the reputed brands' websites which usually results in blacklisting of webpage which in Google language is called as 'scraped content'. It is one of the biggest mistakes as it should always be remembered that Google search engine is far intelligent which can easily capture your mistakes in the content.
Until and unless you allow Google to access your website, indexing isn't possible. And this is correct.
Robots.txt is the elementary section of your website which indicates a message to the search engine if it is going to be crawled and then indexed or not. Robots.txt is an important aspect of any SEO objective that matters and should be kept active. With Google's robots.txt testing tool one can be sure if its effective or not.
These are some of the easiest ways which as a whole, can be called as a better way to bring back your website into form. Once these factors are intact, a website runs smoothly. But one thing should be taken seriously, content is the king!

President-Elect Trump's First Transition Team Video Tackles Jobs
Nov 22, 2016	| By Megan Purdy	| Business, HR, automation, economy, energy sector, jobs plan, manufacturing, President Trump
President-Elect Trump, who is famous for disdaining and mistrusting the press, is speaking directly to the American people through his transition team's YouTube channel. His first video explains his first 100 days priorities and makes it clear that trade and job issues will be on his agenda from his very first day in office. On day one, he says, he will withdraw America's tentative participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (the trade deal has yet to be ratified by Congress). He again emphasized that he will work to "bring back" heartland jobs, particularly in manufacturing and energy, though tariffs on business that move production or otherwise outsource jobs, and by eliminating environmental regulations, which he says have driven American businesses overseas.
What has many economists concerned is that the President-Elect's jobs plan makes no reference to labour and energy costs, or the kind of organic growth we have seen in the American job market. The Bureau of Labour Statistics has reported steady month after month jobs growth in tech, health care and services and just as steady a decline in manufacturing. A jobs plan predicated on the complete transformation of a globalized economy must necessarily be complex and intensive (and face so many challenges and unexpected outcomes that it's unlikely to work out as planned). The President-Elect's plan focuses on reducing the tax and safety burden on businesses because he believes that these are the primary obstacles to reinvigorating American manufacturing and energy. But you can't just bring back jobs, you have to keep them. So how can tariff and regulatory reform compete with automation, global labour, or OPEC's role in setting energy prices?
CNBC's Joe Cramer said that "there are no millions of jobs that can be created" in the energy sector, citing America's aging infrastructure, the already underway shift from coal to natural gas and the realities of current energy pricing. Although demand for natural gas in China has gone up and down and up again this year, it's still the case that natural gas, not coal, is the growth market. Demand for coal has dropped within America and globally, a trend that will soon be "irreversible." The value of American oil, of course, is not set by Americans, but by global demand and by OPEC policy — all the tax cuts and tariff reductions in the world can't make a product more valuable. The story is similar in manufacturing. Bringing back jobs by penalizing outsourcers won't make American labour competitive, or its products competitively priced. It also can't hope to reverse the trend toward automation, which has made both the energy and manufacturing sectors much more efficient and cost-effective.
President Trump's infrastructure plan, which drove construction stocks high post-election, has also been called a jobs plan. But Ronald A. Klain, a former assistant to President Obama who oversaw the American Recovery and Renewal Act from 2009-2011, worries that the plan's focus on tax cuts and credits for businesses are not precise enough to induce a real infrastructure boom.
"Trump's plan provides tax breaks to private-sector investors who back profitable construction projects. These projects (such as electrical grid modernization or energy pipeline expansion) might already be planned or even underway. There's no requirement that the tax breaks be used for incremental or otherwise expanded construction efforts; they could all go just to fatten the pockets of investors in previously planned projects."
If the tax cuts are not designed narrowly enough they will not go to new projects, and will therefore not create new jobs. And will these tax cuts create new jobs at all? Economists and policy makers are divided on this — evidence suggests that tax cuts on the wealthy don't create jobs because of their propensity to save; and corporate taxes don't seem to work as economic stimulus in high GDP countries, except in combination with other factors, like favourable commodities prices and government investment. That is, corporate tax cuts can have a feel good effect on businesses, but don't spur job growth without plenty of other reasons for businesses to expand or invest.
We still have very few details of President-Elect Trump's plans for energy, infrastructure and manufacturing, but from what we've learned so far, it seems to a strange combination of Reaganomics and protectionism. The vague, patchwork nature of his plans, a little bit of tax cuts, a lot more punitive tariffs, is simply incoherent, making any kind of economic prediction impossible — at least until we know more. As we piece together Trump's economic doctrine and likely policies, it's best to remember that the economy is a complex system of relationships where every policy has as many costs as it does benefits. While protectionism may sound like an ideal way to "bring back jobs" it comes with enormous costs to business and travellers — ultimately a de-globalized world is, for business, a more costly world.

The Girls Bundle Up Pattern sale is ON! where you can get PDF patterns for girls at a special price. Go HERE to see the selection.
And this Bundle Up features the NEW Rachel Dress Pattern by Modkid – this is Modkid by Patty Young! She is on my list of pattern designers to sew this year! This is like a super-double-score!
I have perfected Hot Brandy Wine into a perfect potion for chilly gray days here in the Pacific NW. I am sure it is perfect for your wintery weather too… or, if you are lucky enough to be a warm climate in January, save this recipe for your blustery days ahead.
It's the end of the year. 2014 is going in the book, and 2015 is kicking off.
As you are doing, I am reflecting on 2014's good decisions & smart choices, missed opportunities & wanted do-overs, precious times to remember & loved ones to miss, happy days & sad moments, accomplishments & things still to do, and the many, many awesome blessings that God provides.
I believe in making goals. I think the transition into a new year is the perfect time to state and focus on your intentions.
A co-worker once told me that he and his close circle of friends share their goals with each other at the start of the year, and then use each other to help support and hold each other accountable to their goals. They even work their goals into milestones or specific objectives to help get what they wanted. This idea resonates with me… I like the idea of putting your plan out there.
So, I wrote down my 2015 intentions to make them real. Here are my overall goals for my 2015 intentions.
My specific plans include sewing Oliver+S patterns, blogging tutorials, family, and adventure posts, and getting my camera off Auto-Mode.
This is the year to FINISH updating our 1970's house. Our Box house needs a new master bath, laundry room, and powder bath, in addition to some outdoor refreshing and some home decor projects.
My business is… My health & welfare. My kids, family, & friends. My chores, my house, my blog, my full-time job, my church, and my volunteering. I will arrive on time, plan ahead and prepare, and simply get my business done.
Whatever 'it' is, I will stop the frustration and stress about it. I will stop the obsessing, over-analyzing, and preoccupying-mania-craze that spins in in head — or at least I will try.
I've set my 2015 Intentions, made my list of goals, eaten my black-eyed-peas and cabbage, so bring on 2015!


So shocked and saddened to hear of Christine's passing. She was an exceptional employee, friend but more importantly, an exceptional person! She will be so missed. Rest In Peace my dear friend!
Our deepest condolences to Christine's family on there loss.
My heart is broken. Chris and I were great friends when we were young. Lost track of each other after high school. But always thought of her. My deepest condolences to chris' family and friends. RIP my friend. Till we meet again.
I would like to offer my condolences to Christine's family and friends. I was sorry to hear of her passing - I did not get to meet her as she lived out West and I live in Ontario but I wish her peace and may she be with my brother, Bradley, again. Rest in peace Christine.

Donegal Sanctuary Runners to launch on Saturday, February 26th
on February 18, 2022 in News & Media
The Sanctuary Runners is a national solidarity-through-sport movement with 30-groups across Ireland
It uses running, jogging and walking to bring together asylum seekers, refugees, other migrants and those in the wider local Irish community
The Sanctuary Runners awarded funding for its project to grow the movement in the North-West through Bank of Ireland Fund
The Donegal Sanctuary Runners will have their first run at the Letterkenny parkrun event on Saturday, February 26th
A movement which encourages and enables community integration in towns and cities across Ireland will launch in Donegal on Saturday morning, February 26th.
The Sanctuary Runners use running, jogging and walking to bring together asylum seekers, refugees, other migrants and those in the wider Irish community.
Last year the organisation was awarded funding of €20k under the Bank of Ireland's 'Begin Together' Community Fund, administered by the Community Foundation for Ireland, to establish a group in Letterkenny and to help grow the initiative in the North-West of the country.
A Direct Provision centre was opened in Letterkenny in spring, 2021 as former student accommodation on the Port Road was repurposed. The centre will be able to accommodate up to 60-families including some who were moved to Letterkenny from emergency accommodation in Portsalon last February.
With 30-groups across the country, and over 4,000 regular participants, the Sanctuary Runner movement focuses on solidarity, friendship and respect.
It's founder, Graham Clifford – a former journalist and broadcaster, visited Letterkenny last summer and spoke with local groups which will help establish the group in the town.
He said: "this initiative has been hugely successful across Ireland and takes a novel approach to community integration. We focus on the individual rather than the label and believe if you find a positive way to bring people together then bonds start to develop. And there's nothing more positive than exercising together regularly in beautiful surroundings. While we have the word 'Runners' in our name we also welcome joggers and walkers of all ages and abilities. The most important thing is that people are coming together to share common space all wearing our blue running tops and united on one team. It's a great way for Irish people to get to know those who have moved to the area from elsewhere and vice versa. It's all very relaxed, informal and welcoming and I can't wait to see the group growing in Donegal and linking in with groups in Sligo, Leitrim and Longford – and also possibly in Derry where we would like to establish a group later in 2022."
In 2019 the Sanctuary Runners was named by the European Commission as one of the top-nine solidarity-through-sport initiatives in the European Union. It focuses on solidarity rather than charity and works closely with the parkrun movement.
A 5km parkrun takes place each Saturday at the St Conals Hospital Campus on Kilmacrennan Road in Letterkenny and it's here where the first group will come together next Saturday, February 26th.
Announcing the funding Francesca McDonagh, Group Chief Executive of Bank of Ireland, said: "We're immensely proud to support a wide range of community groups, charities, and social enterprises working in every part of Ireland. What they do unites, supports and protects local communities and some of the most vulnerable in our society. While the road ahead looks much more positive, communities across Ireland still face many challenges. It's our hope that this support will help them face those challenges, and overcome them."
To find out more about the Sanctuary Runners please visit: Sanctuaryrunners.ie
Or please email us at info@sanctuaryrunners.ie if you would like to join the group or find out more.


Thursday, Apr. 4, 2019, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.

Knowledge & research
Open access to JRC Research Infrastructures
Use the JRC Labs for Research
The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) opens its scientific laboratories and facilities to people working in academia and research organisations, industry, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and more in general to the public and private sector.
The JRC offers access to its non-nuclear facilities to researchers and scientists from EU Member States and countries associated to the EU Research Programme Horizon Europe. For nuclear facilities, the JRC opens to EU Member States and to countries associated to the Euratom Research Programme.
About Open access project Framework for access
Offering access to visiting researchers is part of JRC's strategy to:
enhance dissemination of scientific knowledge;
boost competiveness;
bridge the gap between research and industry;
provide training and capacity building.
Scientists will have the opportunity to work in the following fields:
nuclear safety and security (Euratom Laboratories);
chemistry;
biosciences/life sciences;
physical sciences;
ICT;
Foresight.
The results will also feed into JRC's mission to support EU policymaking.
The JRC is opening access to the following groups of Research Infrastructures:
Nuclear Laboratories
Actinide User Laboratory (ActUsLab)
Only a few facilities are available worldwide where actinide materials can be safely investigated. Among these, a prominent position is occupied by the Actinide User Laboratory (ActUsLab) operated by the JRC in Karlsruhe.
Environmental & Mechanical Materials Assessment (EMMA)
The Environmental & Mechanical Materials Assessment (EMMA) facilities in Petten, the Netherlands, support the development of European and International codes & standards for components and materials used in current and next-generation nuclear reactors.
European research infrastructure for nuclear reaction, radioactivity, radiation and technology studies in science and applications (EUFRAT)
The JRC offers open access to four nuclear laboratories, which allow studies of neutron-induced reactions, irradiations in well-characterised neutron and gamma fields and accurate measurements of radioactivity for science and technology applications.
Non-Nuclear Laboratories
Energy storage research infrastructures
Energy storage has been part of the energy system for decades, but with the emergence of new storage technologies and the need to integrate more renewable energy sources into the power system, the sector is faced with new challenges and opportunities.
European Laboratory for Structural Assessment
The European Laboratory for Structural Assessment (ELSA) offers two facilities as part of the programme for open access to JRC research infrastructures: the world's largest Hopkinson bar facility and Europe's largest Reaction Wall.
Nanobiotechnology Laboratory
The JRC nanobiotechnology laboratory has state-of-the-art facilities for interdisciplinary studies, with a special emphasis on the characterisation of nanomaterials, nanomedicines, advanced materials, and micro(nano)plastics.
Relevance-driven access
The relevance-driven access is exclusively dependent on scientific and socio-economic relevance at European level. It is based on a peer-review selection process following a call for proposals. Projects accessing JRC facilities under the relevance-driven mode are only charged the additional costs associated to such access.
Relevance-driven access information
Access will be mainly granted to universities and research institutions, as well as to SMEs, possibly in association with industry and private organisations, in areas relevant to JRC's strategic priorities and of importance for European standardisation, integration and cohesion, sustainable growth and competitiveness.
Following a call for proposals, an application is evaluated by a transparent peer-review selection process. A panel of experts (User Selection Committee) evaluates the excellence, originality and technical feasibility of an application.
The relevance-driven access entails costs. Projects accessing the JRC will be charged the additional costs associated (i.e. the variable costs related to access) to a given research infrastructure.
Payment may be settled by a monetary payment or in the form of economically valuable in-kind contributions (e.g. consumables such as mock-ups, instrumentation, testing rigs, or the provision of human resources).
JRC nuclear research infrastructures may grant access free of charge (i.e. no payment of the additional costs related to access).
The JRC facilitates access in the relevance-driven mode
The JRC facilitates access to nuclear and non-nuclear research infrastructures for in the relevance-driven mode
Waiving access costs of User Access Projects
For Access to non-nuclear Research Infrastructures, payment of the additional costs may be waived for User Access Projects where the Lead User Institution and 2/3 or more of the User Institutions (including the Lead User Institution) are located in a country eligible for Widening actions under the Horizon Europe Specific Objective "Spreading Excellence and Widening Participation". In case of one or two User Institutions (including the Lead User Institutions), this requirement is only applied to the Lead User Institution.
Support to travel and subsistence of Users
The JRC may provide a financial or in-kind contribution to support Users to cover their costs of travel and subsistence related to the User Stay Days, subject to the availability of funds, personnel and other resources, as specified in the call for proposals:
JRC non-nuclear Research Infrastructures: Users from User Institutions located in a country eligible for the Widening actions under the Horizon Europe Specific Objective "Spreading Excellence and Widening Participation".
JRC nuclear Research Infrastructures: Users accessing JRC nuclear Research Infrastructures as part of the Pilot Action on open access to JRC research infrastructure in the field of nuclear safety.

Q: Is Php reqular expression secure to insert data into database? I'm inserting data to db with following validation where I only accept ' and & and @ and .. After that I'm using mysqli_real_escape_string($var).
So I see it's output is :
I\'m a good boy &@ is it secure var for input to DB.

My Questions :
1) Is there any security issues will appear if I accept ' and & and @ and . ?
2) If it's not security issues then it's insert \ to db. Is it problem to store data with backslash ?
3) If it's not a problem for security then in user panel data is showing with \. So is it need to escape with stripslashes($var);?
My validation:
$var = "I'm a good boy &@ is it secure var for input to DB.";

if(preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z0-9.'&@ ]+$/", $var) !== 1)
    echo "var is NOT OK.
";
else
    echo "var is ok.
";

mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $var);

A: *

*Is there any security issues will appear if I accept ' and & and @ and . ?
There will be security issues as a single quote (') is used for SQL Injection

*If it's not security issues then it's insert \ to db. Is it problem to store data with backslash ?
No, there is no problem with storing the data with backslashes, that's how escaping works.

*If it's not a problem for security then in user panel data is showing with . So is it need to escape with stripslashes($var);?
Yes, it will cause a problem among display as single quotes will be escaped using a backslash, to display it without a backslash, you can use stripslashes()
All these problems and questions you're mentioning can be simply ignored if you start using prepared statements as it requires no escaping whatsoever, so your database will be SQL Injection-free, there will be no backslashes making your output look bad.

Nicolas Ghesquière Finally Confirmed at Louis Vuitton
Nicolas Ghesquiere's appointment as Marc Jacobs's replacement at Louis Vuitton has been all but confirmed by the house itself -- until this morning.
Dhani Mau
That Nicolas Ghesquière would succeed Marc Jacobs as artistic director of Louis Vuitton had been all but confirmed except by the house itself -- until this morning.
Following months of speculation, Louis Vuitton announced via Twitter that Ghesquiere is in fact the new artistic director of women's ready-to-wear, effective immediately. His first collection, for fall 2014, will hit the runway in March.
Speculation began in June that Ghesquière would succeed Jacobs, gaining further credibility when Jacobs announced that his spring 2014 collection for Vuitton would be his last. Ghesquiere left Balenciaga, where he'd been creative director since 1997, exactly one year ago.
While it's still difficult to picture a Louis Vuitton collection with someone other than Marc Jacobs at the end of the runway, we have no doubt Ghesquière will do great things. His talent with designing exclusive, must-have handbags is in line with LVMH's "hyper-luxury" vision for the brand. Still, Vuitton is a lot bigger than Balenciaga -- it's the biggest luxury brand, period, in fact -- and Ghesquière will be tasked with making sure things stay that way.

The Internet Really Thinks Nicolas Ghesquière Has Been Named Creative Director at Louis Vuitton
New online reports are "confirming" the rumors that have been circling since June--that Nicolas Ghesquière would be replacing Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton.
Balenciaga Rumored To Be Suing Nicolas Ghesquière
Following last week's rumors that Nicolas Ghesquière would be joining LVMH as Marc Jacobs' replacement at Louis Vuitton, comes more juicy news regarding the former Balenciaga creative director.
Confirmed: Balenciaga Suing Nicolas Ghesquière
Rumors were circulating Tuesday, based on a report in French business magazine Challenges, that Balenciaga was suing its former creative director Nicolas Ghesquière over negative comments he made about the company in an interview with new magazine System. Turns out the rumors were true.
