On Super Bowl Sunday I attempted to fulfill one of Michael's foodie wishes. He has been craving Chicago Italian beef sandwiches, and I decided to do some research and make some for him. He got to relive some good memories, and I learned that making Italian beef is pretty easy and well worth it!
Italian beef is a Chicago institution, and a number of restaurants around town serve up this dripping wet sandwich, which is best eaten over a trough. The meat is roasted to medium rare, sliced thin, then simmered in an au jus made from the meat drippings, stock, lots of oregano, and other seasonings. To eat it, you fill a sub roll full of meat and then dip the whole sandwich into the au jus. No dainty dipping of the ends, you plunge the whole sandwich in! Then you top it with bell peppers and giardineria (pickled vegetables). It is sloppy and good!
While researching I came across Roadfood.com, which has an active forum, and I found a thread that discussed making your own Italian beef. After reading the thread, I decided to follow a recipe attributed to Max's Italian Beef. I cannot verify if indeed this is indeed their recipe, but we thought it tasted pretty darn good. Neither the giardineria nor the dry rub ingredients had any amounts listed in the original, so I made a wild educated guess. I also played around with the giardineria a bit, adding some pepperoncini instead of the serrano peppers, and we liked it.
Cutting the meat properly is crucial to a good Italian beef sandwich. Slice it as thinly as possible using a meat slicer or an electric knife. We used to use an electric knife and learned that short strokes produced thinner slices than trying to make large, full slices. Again, not completely authentic, but we made do with what we had. Now that we have a meat slicer, it works much, much better. And for safety reasons, we box it up and put it away after each use to keep it out of the boys' reach.
I used some fresh oregano from my kitchen garden for the au jus, so this is my contribution to Grow Your Own for February. If you are growing your own produce or raising your own meats, then join in! The deadline for entries is February 27th.
Adapted from a discussion thread at RoadFood.com.
Makes 12 to 16 sandwiches, depending on the size rolls you use.
2. MEAT: Preheat the oven to 350° F/175° C. In the small bowl, stir together the ingredients for the dry rub, then rub the mixture all over the outside of the roast. Stick in the meat thermometer and place the roast on the rack. Roast in the oven until the meat is 140° F/60° C (medium rare). Remove from the oven and allow it to sit for 1 hour before slicing.
Okay, I never claimed to be a dainty eater. This sounds like my idea of heaven.
I have to apologise, I have just realised that your blog was not on my blogroll. I normally visit you via my taskbar and must have ommitted you when I redid my blog. Not intentionally as I am a regular reader. Fixed now!
Thanks for adding me back to your blogroll.
Your sandwiches look to die for. My other half loves anything beef and peppers, so I'll have to try them one of these days.
De, thanks for the link to the Chutzpah review. As soon as Michael sees the photo of that Reuben, he'll want to go!!
WoW! This looks absolutely delicious! You are such a talented lady and I just love reading about all your fantastic creations =D.
yum, those sandwiches look great!
Italian beef sandwiches and football would make any man happy. Thanks for introducing me to a new dish.
Shandy, glad to hear that you liked the cake!
MrsPresley, thanks and welcome to the DBs!
Susan, Michael was VERY happy with them!
If your husband wants to get something like "Portillo's Hotdog", he should try "Zack's Hotdog" in White Marsh in Maryland. I ate there on the Memorial Day Weekend on the way back from NYC to DC area. They have Vienna Beef Chicago Style Hotdog and Italian Beef sandwich.
Both sites have places all over the US that serve the wonderful Chicago Food dishes!
Don't know what Gravatars are..please describe, also would like to see your recipe for Cream cheese pound cake with bourbon & pecans.
Hi Diana. Gravatars are the small pictures that go with your comments. You can sign up at the website linked above. And here is the Cream Cheese Pound Cake with Bourbon and Pecans, just omit the frosting and sugar sprinkles.
Great job Andrea!! I just want to throw a couple things out there, technically in Chicago its not Au Jus, on the Italian Beef sandwich its called gravy. Also, a real Chicago Beef isn't soaked or simmered in the juices, you just briefly "re-Introduce" them together once again and then place on the bread….
All in all, GREAT job and keep up the good work!!
Awesome! I am delighted to see these various types of Chicago Italian beef sandwich. You tell much about the store or shops for delicious sandwich lovers.

Memorial action in Sarpsborg for the faceless victims of multiculturalism
ACTIVISM. Norway's Nest 1 held a memorial action for the faceless victims of multiculturalism in Sarpsborg on Saturday, 22 January.
Activists and members from Nest 1 went to Sarpsborg on Saturday morning to hold a public memorial action for the faceless victims of multiculturalism. The memorial honoured those victims who have never gotten a statue and have received practically no attention from politicians or the media – in contrast to racial foreigners who have been honoured with statues and the attention of the media all around the world.
The Resistance Movement took up positions on the square outside Sarpsborg Storsenter, where a memorial was set up and leaflets were handed out. Numerous discussions took place with both friendly people and those who get their information from the enemy media.
After a while the police showed up and had a short dialogue with the activists about the subject of the action. In contrast to their usual conduct at such activities, the police behaved professionally, had no objections and subsequently moved on.
The memorial went smoothly and peacefully and was concluded after a few hours.

Bentonite Mud Recycling Equipment is also called drilling mud solids control equipment,usually,use linear shale shaker,mud cleaners,and decanting centrifuges to recycle bentonite mud.
GN Solids Control Supply a complete list of Bentonite mud recycling equipments.
Bentonite is an absorbent aluminium phyllosilicate, generally impure clay consisting mostly of montmorillonite. There are a few types of bentonites and their names depend on the dominant elements, such as K, Na, Ca, and Al. As noted in several places in the geologic literature, there are some nomenclatorial problems with the classification of bentonite clays. Bentonite usually forms from weathering of volcanic ash, most often in the presence of water.
Much of bentonite's usefulness in the drilling and geotechnical engineering industry comes from its unique rheological properties. Relatively small quantities of bentonite suspended in water form a viscous, shear thinning material. Most often, bentonite suspensions are also thixotropic, although rare cases of rheopectic behavior have also been reported. At high enough concentrations (~60 grams of bentonite per litre of suspension), bentonite suspensions begin to take on the characteristics of a gel (a fluid with a minimum yield strength required to make it move). For these reasons it is a common component of drilling mud desander used to curtail drilling fluid invasion by its propensity for aiding in the formation of mud cake.
In industrial drilling field,bentonie mud recycling equipment are widely used.

Sexual harassment settlements against Hinds County sheriff to cost taxpayers $330K
Hinds County Sheriff Victor Mason was accused of sexual harassment by three women.
Sexual harassment settlements against Hinds County sheriff to cost taxpayers $330K Hinds County Sheriff Victor Mason was accused of sexual harassment by three women. Check out this story on clarionledger.com: https://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/politics/2019/06/25/sexual-harassment-settlements-against-hinds-county-sheriff-victor-mason-330-000/1557242001/
Justin Vicory, Mississippi Clarion Ledger Published 10:06 a.m. CT June 25, 2019 | Updated 10:08 a.m. CT June 25, 2019
A recent media report reveals sexual harassment settlements with the Hinds County sheriff, Victor Mason, will cost taxpayers more than $300,000.
The details of the cost follow the settlement of two lawsuits in January that involved three former sheriff's department employees.
The lawsuit filed by ex-Sgt. Belendia Jones said Mason, from the time he was elected sheriff in November 2015 throughout at least half of 2016, talked in text messages about his desire to have sex with her.

The lawsuit says that when it became clear Jones wasn't interested in a relationship with the sheriff, he demoted her to a records clerk at the Hinds County Detention Center in Raymond.
In the other lawsuit, ex-Chief Deputy Cheryl Matory and former head of internal affairs Tomeca Barnes made similar allegations against the sheriff. Matory claimed she was fired after refusing to help the sheriff solicit Barnes for sex.
WLBT-TV reported that public records reveal that the three separate settlements against the sheriff come to $330,000.
Mason is running for reelection this year. He'll square off against eight other candidates for the position, including former Jackson Police Chief Lee Vance.
Mason was not immediately available for comment.
Hinds County Sheriff's Department attorney Claire Barker took the upside that the settlements saved money in the long run.
"We're glad we were able to avoid costly litigation — and court costs — and settle these cases," she said.

The colourful design guru Karim Rashid gave his first ever talk in London to discuss his design philosophy. Rashid started by saying democratic design is very important to him. In his opinion design is also a social and political act. It is about creating better experiences for more people – progress. He also said design is about shaping. Being present in a moment, the social behaviour should be the criteria to shape the future. When designing is based on visual imagery only, and not the experience, it is subdued.
Rashid was criticising design by saying that today there are many variations in the marketplace but few ideas. Products are repeating same old archetypes and designing becomes styling. He likes to push ideas further by being more creative. When he is designing a new restaurant, he always starts from the food to understand how the chef is thinking and what the restaurant really is about.
Karim Rashid is known from his futuristic style. He told that he hadn't designed anything in 2D for 7 years. Old style static 2D design based on the grid has created a world full of square shape archetypes. In his opinion 3D design will create a world of 4D experiences that are more organic and moving. So the world becomes more unpredictable. Morphic structures will be more common. (The running shoe industry is a good example of advanced 3D design).
Rashid talked about the huge changes from the digital age for the consumer. The empowerment of the individual so that everyone can become a designer and a critic is a big change for the creative industry. Another trend Rashid talked about is the casualisation and increased comfort. This he said also extends to thinking modes. In the casual age people think and work more flexibly in more casual environments. The notion of shifting must be addressed to design.
What is Rashid's take on luxury today? It is the feeling when everything just works.

Take a Tour of a Modern Day Chemistry Facility
The American Chemistry Council (ACC), today posted on americanchemistry.com, a video tour of a modern day chemistry facility. The video tour will provide viewers with an inside look into the operation of ACC member facilities and answer questions about the industry.
"Many people have preconceived notions of what goes on inside a chemistry plant although they haven't been inside one," said Jack Gerard, President and CEO of ACC. "This video allows visitors to tour a facility so they can get a clear picture of a typical plant. Viewers will be able to see the environmental, health, safety and security measures our member facilities have implemented and how the products they make are essential to our everyday lives."
The video tour allows viewers to explore the inside of chemistry facilities and discover how clean, safe and modern they are and also how workers, community and consumers benefit. "Visitors will see first-hand that the safety and security of its workers and host communities is a top priority for American chemistry. The safeguards that ACC members put in place have resulted in a worker safety record more than five times better than the U.S. manufacturing average. In addition, ACC members have voluntarily invested nearly $5 billion to enhance security at their facilities.
Viewers will see that today's facilities help the environment and contribute to a stronger America. Through efficient construction and the use of renewable solar and wind energy, the chemistry industry has made a concerted effort to reduce its energy consumption. As a result, chemistry plants have reduced emissions – of six criteria air pollutants – by over 43 percent in the last two decades and improved energy efficiency by 51 percent since 1974, and 27 percent since 1990.
To view the plant tour, please visit: www.americanchemistry.com/planttour.

Today we're proud to announce the launch of a new blog, Urban Prankster. Urban Prankster will feature pranks, hacks, participatory art, flash mobs, and other creative endeavors that take place in public places in cities across the world. If someone does something awesome in the public space, we plan to cover it.
Over the last six months we've seen a massive spread of urban creativity in cities across the world. We've been covering the global trend here on Improv Everywhere, focusing on groups that formed on our Improv Everywhere Global network. It's been awesome to see groups recreating our past missions and coming up with new ideas of their own. With missions happening in other cities on an almost weekly basis, we decided it was time to create a new site to celebrate this work. ImprovEverywhere.com will return to focusing on our work here in New York, and all documentation of other groups will move to Urban Prankster.
In addition to Improv Everywhere style events, we'll also be covering other forms of art and comedy in the public space and posting announcements about upcoming events seeking participants.
We've got a handful of posts already up on the site, and plan to add new content on a regular basis. So give the site a test run, and sign up for the Urban Prankster RSS feed to stay updated.
Agent Uranhjort says:
I think it's a great dicision you have made! It will help split up the NYC group from the events going on around the world – which is what you want.
Awesome! I'm already looking forward to the first entries!
I'm not fond of the name, I've gotta say. The suggestion thread offered much better alternatives than "urban prankster."
It's up to the personal preference of Todd, I suppose, but I don't really like the new name. Where I live is probably not considered "urban" (and I can't be the only one), and I also wouldn't consider these activities "pranks."
Also, "urban prankster" reminds me of middle school, and heaven knows, I do NOT want to re-live that age.
What the? Where is the danish community? Did you just delete all of us?
Charlie Todd says:
@Max,
I have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't delete anything.
I agree the name in unfitting. Do love the concept and ideas though! Keep up the good work.
Weed says:
Sweet. I think the name is catchy and look forward to some good posts.
the start of a global wake up,
getting people involved, starting new tricks, entertainment, i love it!
Fax says:
I'm not fon of the name either. Is it too late to honor Ken Kesey by giving the name It'sArt (The intrepide trips society for esthetic revolutionary training!)
Aloha, All


The American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) announced yesterday that it is encouraged by the release of the infrastructure investment outline by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats.
According to AAPA, the recognition that ports and waterways play a vital role in the nation's economy, jobs and supply chain raises hopes for future investments in the infrastructure.
"Coupled with President Trump's stated intention to make major improvements in America's infrastructure, we're optimistic that long overdue infrastructure investments will be made," said Kurt Nagle, AAPA's president and CEO.
America's seaports, each of which are international trading hubs, are vital economic engines to their community, their region and the nation. Seaport cargo activity accounts for 26 percent of the U.S. economy, generating nearly $4.6 trillion a year in total economic activity, supporting some 23 million American jobs, and producing more than $321 billion federal, state and local tax revenues annually, said AAPA.

UC Irvine Receives $10 Million for Orange County Young Adult Court Study
The University of California–Irvine (UCI) last week received 10 million from the Orange County Health Care Agency to study the long-term impact of the Young Adult Court in the county—a program to help young adults charged with a felony reduce their sentence and lead a productive life going forward.
The grant will fund a research project—led by Elizabeth Cauffman, professor of Psychological Science at UCI—aimed at understanding the effectiveness of the program in helping the participants lead a better life by reducing recidivism, substance abuse, and mental health issues, among other problems, school officials announced July 26.
The Young Adult Court, launched in 2018, is a collaborative court for county male residents between 18 and 25 years old who have committed felonies for the first time. According to UCI, the goal of the court is to address and prevent future criminal behavior by connecting them with mental health services and opportunities for housing, education, and job.
"The goal of [the young adult court] is to really get kids back on track quickly," said Elizabeth Cauffman, professor of Psychological Science at UCI.
The biggest incentive for participating in the program is that defendants will be allowed to have their felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor or dismissed when they complete a list of requirements—including attending all court hearings, meeting with probation officers and case managers, getting drug and alcohol abuse treatment, and seeking mental health counseling along with employment and education advice and following through, according to UCI.
"This is important not only for the youth but for our community as a whole. If we want these youth to be productive members of our society, we cannot saddle them with a label that limits their opportunities," Cauffman said in the announcement.
Based on the young adult court criteria, only people with low-level felonies are eligible. For instance, felonies involving murder, weapon use, and great bodily injury will not be considered for the program, according to Cauffman.
The new funding will allow the research team to extend the amount of time they can track those who completed the program and expand the research capacity to include up to 300 first-time felony offenders—half in the court program and the other half in the control group.
The latest funding will also allow the research team to provide mental health counseling through the school's clinical psychology doctoral program among other services.
Currently, the court has 17 graduates, and all had their felonies removed from their records.
Chiefwinds, a young man who finished the program last November, said during the graduation ceremony that the program helped him to become a better person and that he felt sorry for the people he hurt.
"I am very thankful," Chiefwinds said. "The Young Adult Court is a blessing from God because it gave me a second chance when I thought I wouldn't get one. … Without this program, I would probably still be doing drugs and still be stubborn doing drugs. This really opened my eyes to really benefit from change."
One of the recent graduates, Jorge, also expressed his gratitude at his graduation.
"It was a rough start in the beginning after my arrest for drinking and driving," he said. "This Young Adult Court showed me that the rest of my life still has value and character. I learned my lesson. I've shut that door and I won't go back."

Our car is still out of commission and likely won't be ready until late Wednesday. We remain stranded at our dealer as we await repairs.
The coach had to go into the shop today for a couple of items one of which was totally necessary and yet totally discretionary: a WiFi and 4G LTE Extender.
We had the dealer install the Winegard Connect 2.0 unit which provides an access point for the 20 Internet capable devices that we carry on board the coach. They now connect to the coach's local network — the access point — and I only have to change one device — the Winegard Connect — to point to either a WiFi source or an LTE source.
We were without the coach until about 6pm this evening.
Our golden retriever was in her crate for most of the day in one of the offices at the dealer. Lorraine and I ran a few errands but also spent most of the day in one of the offices at the dealer.
The coach will go back in for a few hours at 8am tomorrow.
We likely won't see the car until end of day tomorrow.
We should hopefully be back on our way on Thursday with our car in tow.


Step 2: Blend in food processor, mixer, or by hand.
Step 3: Spoon batter evenly into 12 greased muffin tins or paper baking cups.
Step 4: Place in oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Muffins should feel firm in the center when gently pressed.
Eat with honey and cinnamon. Yum!


Yep. Two posts in one day. I'm a blogging machine!
I never want to say or write something that would keep people from adopting. Adoption is beautiful and 100% worth the work, waiting, and frustrations. I am very hopeful about our future and I think anyone entering into the adoption process should have that same hope. God is good and he has a plan.
Earth contains people though. Lots of people with lots of opinions, who speak before they think. Adoption is a huge exercise in extending grace, especially when you have experienced fertility issues before coming to adoption. Once we chose adoption, or rather God chose adoption for us, we were excited! Still are! Always will be! You have no idea! There's a part of the population though that has absolutely no reference point, just doesn't "get it", and to fill that awkward I-don't-understand moment, they say the first thing that comes to mind.
"You want kids!? Take one of mine!"
"Really!? I can't stop getting pregnant!"
"Aren't you afraid the birth mom will change her mind?"
"Aren't they all drug babies?"
"Just stop thinking about it, then you'll get pregnant." Or another variation- "You'll probably get pregnant as soon as you adopt."
And one of my favorites... "Just have fun practicing getting pregnant." *wink wink*. Awkward!
This is where that grace comes in. These people have been fortunate enough to never experience this pain. I would never wish for that to change. No one should have to feel the loss that comes with infertility or losing a child. NO ONE! However, I think educating people on the etiquette of adoption is valuable. We can educate with grace and love. While these comments sting, there is no rule that says we have to stand by and give no correction. And there's no rule that says we can't do it with a little humor.
Introducing What To Respect When NOT Expecting. We have contributed to Rebekah South's project and can't wait to read this book and have a good laugh at some of the crazy stories. Check it out!
If you are interested in learning more about Rebekah and her book, and possibly contributing to the project, you can go to her Kickstarter account. If you have a story you'd like to share you can email her at WhatToRespect@gmail.com or visit their Facebook page.
I have heard all of these. Just this past week I asked someone at work how will I plan for my leave when the baby comes. They told me "You'll have to talk to the commander since it's not your kid." My jaw just dropped.
Oh my goodness!!! That is amazing to me that someone is that oblivious! I'm so sorry! Maybe you should email her that story for her book.
Great post! I know it has to take great grace to deal with hurtful comments. I guess most people don't mean them to be hurtful. They just don't know. Which is why what you said is great...people need to be educated. That book sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Great blog! My husband and I always hear, "Well, you are still so young, you have plenty of time to get pregnant. If you were in your late 30's, then you should worry...."
Thank you for your blog. I love learning about your journey!
So glad you're enjoying it Dayna! We've heard that one a lot too. As if there's a time limit or age at which you should start wanting kids more!? Age has nothing to do with it! Lol!

Q: using external libraries with msys - minGW I want to write and compile C++ code that requires the FLTK 1.3.2 GUI libraries.
I would like to use minGW with MSYS.
I have installed minGW and MSYS properly and have been able to build FLTK with ./configure
make.  Everything worked up to this point.
Now I am testing the hello program, and can get the compiler to locate the header files, but it returns errors - which I believe are a result of the compiler not finding the location of the FLTK library.  I have looked over the minGW site and it seems the difficulty of getting MSYS to direct the compiler to the correct location is not uncommon.
I have worked with C++ minGW for about a year but am completely new to MSYS.
Here is my command:
c++ Hello.cxx -Lc:/fltk-1.3.2/test -Ic:/fltk-1.3.2 -o Hello.exe

(I am not sure if my syntax is correct so any comments are appreciated)
Here is what I get from the compiler:
C:\Users\CROCKE~1\AppData\Local\Temp\ccbpaWGj.o:hello.cxx(.text+0x3c): undefined reference to 'Fl_Window::Fl_Window(int, int, char const*)'

... more similar comments...
collect2: ld returned exit status

It seems the compiler can't find the function definitions which I believe are in c:/fltk-1.3.2/test.
Again, I am a newbie so any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

A: Your compile command is not good... You only inform LD where to search for additional libraries with the -L parameter, but you do not specify any library you actually want to use. For that you use -l flag.
So the command should be something like: g++ Hello.cxx -Lc:/fltk-1.3.2/test -Ic:/fltk-1.3.2 -o Hello.exe -llibfltk_images -llibfltk -llibwsock32 -llibgdi32 -llibuuid -llibole32
My recommendation - use the provided fltk-config script to obtain the flags.
Here is a MinGW makefile I "stole" from here: http://www.fltk.org/articles.php?L1286 .
# Makefile for building simple FLTK programs
# using MinGW on the windows platform.

# I recommend setting C:\MinGW\bin AND C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin
# in the environment %PATH% variable on the development machine.

MINGW=C:/MinGW
MSYS=${MINGW}/msys/1.0
FLTK_CONFIG=${MSYS}/local/bin/fltk-config
INCLUDE=-I${MSYS}/local/include
LIBS=-L${MSYS}/local/lib
CC=${MINGW}/bin/g++.exe
RM=${MSYS}/bin/rm
LS=${MSYS}/bin/ls

        ${CC} ${OBJS} ${LINK} -o ${EXE}

%.o: %.cxx
        ${CC} ${INCLUDE} ${CFLAGS} -c $*.cxx -o $*.o

You agree further that: (a) the arbitration shall be held in Newark, Delaware; (b) the arbitrator shall apply Delaware law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; (c) there shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis; arbitration can decide only your and/or Hello Coin's individual claims; and the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated; (d) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, ChameleonJohn will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive; and (e) with the exception of subpart (c) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures established by AAA, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart (c) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this Section 5.6 shall be null and void, and neither you nor ChameleonJohn shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the rules of conflict of law that may cause the laws of another jurisdiction to apply. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and replaces all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral, regarding such subject matter.

Assignment. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by ChameleonJohn without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.
Entire Agreement/Severability.

Gorgeous models and their boyfriends,not exactly an original theme but, Patrick Demarchelier's Vogue story on gamine beauties and the men who love them, is beautiful all the same. The simple shots, accentuated by Tabitha Simmons's trench styling and Yumi's flawless makeup, serve as a lovely introduction to the significant others of several top girls.

ISU reports an additional 68 positive COVID-19 cases over last week
Another 68 members of the Iowa State University community have tested positive for COVID-19, which is a positivity rate of 4.99% among those who were tested, according to ISU's weekly report.
From Sept. 21 to Sept. 27, a total of 68 individuals from ISU tested positive, which includes 44 students and 5 staff through on-campus testing, and 17 students, 1 faculty member, and 1 staff member via off-campus testing.
As a result of ISU's contact tracing, a total of 399 individuals were in quarantine in that time period, and of those in quarantine, 62 tested positive, the university reported. The university defines quarantine as the separation used to "keep someone who may have been exposed to COVID-19 away from others."
Last week, 86 members of the ISU community were in active isolation, which the university defines as the separation for those who are sick or have tested positive for COVID-19 with no symptoms.
On campus, a total of 3.8% of rooms designated for COVID-19 isolation are being used, and 5.9% of rooms for on-campus quarantine are being used, the university reported.
"Iowa State University has not received any reports of COVID-19 related hospitalizations among faculty, staff, and students since Aug. 1, 2020," according to Monday's report. "Due to privacy regulations, however, employees and students are not required to report hospitalizations to Iowa State University."
To date, a total of 1,109 members of the ISU community — including students, graduate students, staff, and faculty — have tested positive for COVID-19 through on-campus testing since Aug. 1:
Students – 1,064 positives
Graduate students – 13 positives
Staff – 30 positives
ISU faculty – 2 positives
Over the last month, ISU has performed an average of 1,255 tests every week, according to a report by the university.
Last week, the university performed 996 tests, which is the smallest amount of tests performed in any week in September:
Sept. 21-27 – 996 tests performed
Sept. 14-20 – 1,088 tests performed
Sept. 7-13 – 1,204 tests performed
Aug. 31-Sept. 6 – 1,732 tests performed

Belén Gache (Buenos Aires, 1960) es una escritora argentina-española. Hija de emigrantes españoles. Se licenció en la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires, en donde fue docente en la década de 1990 dictando seminarios de narrativa y teoría literaria. Vive y trabaja en Madrid.

Su producción se ha diversificado en diferentes formatos literarios. Partiendo de la narrativa, ha incursionado también en diversas formas de escritura expandida e hipertextual, convirtiéndose en una de las pioneras de la literatura electrónica. Ha producido desde 1996 obras interactivas en Internet, video poesías y narrativas multimedia utilizando plataformas 2.0 (blogs, Youtube, etc.).
Ha publicado también libros de ensayo, campo en el que ha tenido una amplia producción, tanto en temas literarios como de artes visuales. Su libro Escrituras Nómades es un referente en lengua española sobre formas literarias experimentales.

Narrativa

Identificada con la denominada literatura posmoderna, sus novelas se caracterizan por la fragmentación, el hiperrealismo y el uso de narradores no confiables. Con influencias del minimalismo y la antinovela, sus ficciones están escritas en primera persona y en tiempo presente por protagonistas femeninas desarraigadas, inadaptadas, cuasi-paranoides.

En 1994 publicó Luna India, novela que fue finalista del primer Premio Planeta Biblioteca del Sur. Luna India se ha convertido en un retrato de la posmodernidad del Buenos Aires de los años 80, del florecimiento cultural en la apertura democracia tras la caída de la dictadura en la Argentina y la guerra de Malvinas. Fue presentada en Casa de América de Madrid, en la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid y en la Universidad de Salamanca, en marzo de 1995.

Su segunda novela Divina anarquía (1999), fue publicada por la editorial Sudamericana. Desde un clima de nostalgia, magia y poesía, el texto aborda la temática de la orfandad de una protagonista que imagina posibles genealogías familiares, haciendo hincapié en la manera en que uno siempre se ubica en la historia desde un lugar imaginario.

Lunas eléctricas para las noches sin luna (2004), fue también publicada por la editorial Sudamericana. La historia transcurre en el Buenos Aires de 1910, mayoritariamente compuesto por inmigrantes, en el año en el que se celebraba el primer centenario de la independencia argentina y es una reconstrucción histórica de la época que oscila entre la intriga política y el policial desde la mirada de una imaginativa adolescente, hija de españoles.

Su novela La vida y obra de Ambrosia Pons fue finalista en el XXIII Premio Herralde de Novela (Barcelona, 2005) y en el XIII Premio Planeta de Argentina, (2006).

Literatura experimental y electrónica

Paralelamente a su producción narrativa, ha incursionado en diferentes formatos de literatura expandida o experimental.
En 1995, creó el grupo y sitio web Fin del Mundo, junto con Gustavo Romano, Jorge Haro y Carlos Trilnick en Buenos Aires poniendo en línea sus primeros trabajos de literatura interactiva.

En 2002 publica El libro del fin del mundo. Este libro físico contenía además un CD-ROM y enlaces a secciones complementarias en Internet. En él combinó materiales de poesía, poesía visual, poesía electrónica y multimedia.

En 2004 desarrolla el Blog del niño burbuja, una de las primeras experiencias que utilizaron el formato del blog-ficción.
En 2006 publica en Internet su obra Wordtoys. Esta antología de sus trabajos interactivos y multimedia, realizados entre 1996 y 2006, es una de sus obras digitales más difundidas. Nos propone el ejercicio de la lectura como tarea de desciframiento a la vez que como juguete narrativo. Las catorce piezas que lo componen son muy variadas y están enmarcadas en el contexto de la net poesía, con influencias de las vanguardias históricas, utilizando estrategias como la aleatoriedad, la permutabilidad, la apropiación y la reescritura. Una segunda antología realizada en 2011, Góngora Wordtoys, se centra en la figura del poeta barroco Góngora y es una suerte de deconstrucción de sus Soledades.
Desde 2010 lleva adelante el proyecto en línea Kublai Moon, ejemplo de la denominada "literatura distribuida" o "literatura across networks", a través de diferentes medios (blogs, Youtube, y otras plataformas 2.0).
También ha realizado video poesías e instalaciones sonoras como El diario de la Luna Caníbal que produjo para la I Bienal del Fin del Mundo, Ushuaia (2007). Varias de sus ciberpoesías han sido incorporadas al archivo de ELO (Electronic Literature Organization), al de Turbulence.org. y a NETescopio.

Ha publicado los libros de poesía conceptual Meditaciones sobre la revolución (2014) y After Lorca (2019).

Ensayos

Desde su formación académica y su propio interés como escritora en las producciones alternativas al libro tradicional, publicó en 2006 el libro de ensayos Escrituras nómades, del libro perdido al hipertexto (Gijón, Trea) con sus investigaciones sobre literatura expandida, poesía experimental y literaturas no lineales que acentúa la continuidad de estas prácticas a lo largo de la historia de la literatura, poniendo énfasis en la época de las vanguardias y las neovanguardias y en movimientos como la poesía dadaísta, la poesía concreta, las combinatorias oulipianas o la escritura conceptual.

Q: Avoiding implicit unwrap variable I have a question for you guys. I'm trying to avoid do implicit unwrap variables but I haven't figure out how to do it. Here is my example with implicit unwrap
class MyView : UIView {
    @IBOutlet var button : UIButton!
    var buttonOriginalWidth : CGFloat!

}

There is a way of avoid the implicit unwrap ?
I'll really appreciate your help.

A: Implicitly unwrapped optionals can be avoided by:

*

*Declare a initial value:
var buttonOriginalWidth: CGFloat = 20.0

*Declare its value within init:
var buttonOriginalWidth: CGFloat

init() {
    self.buttonOriginalWidth = 20
    super.init()
}

*You can always declare it as an optional:
var buttonOriginalWidth: CGFloat?

But that of course means you have to unwrap it yourself next time you call it.

*You can also use lazy to declare a property that is set after init.
That being said, you should not always avoid using implicitly unwrapped optionals. They are especially useful if you are using Storyboard. @IBOutletand @IBAction are declared mostly as implicitly unwrapped optionals.
@IBOutlet var button: UIButton!

Because if you have configured your Storyboard correctly, it will never be nil.

A: You can avoid that by adding ? called optional instead of ! which is force unwrapping the variable for example:
@IBOutlet var button : UIButton?

Is a valid point to add it for Outlets connected from storyboard and it actually doesn't prevent you from doing that, but its by default optionals for Outlets connected from storyboard. And also for a variable:
 var buttonOriginalWidth : CGFloat?

And to use the a variable which is optional you'll need to check first that its not actually still nil using if let or guard let as the following:
if let widthIsValid = buttonOriginalWidth {
   // use the widthIsValid here
}

And if you tried to use the variable without force unwrapping the app at least will not crash for example to do like Which will print it like Optional(478431):
print(buttonOriginalWidth)

I recommend you to read about Optional Chaining in Swift.

A: *

*In case of the outlet, don't avoid it
@IBOutlet var button : UIButton!

is intended. It reveals a design error (outlet not connected) if the code crashes.

*In case of a regular variable – especially scalar types and strings – declare it as non-optional
var buttonOriginalWidth : CGFloat = 0.0

Basically use implicit unwrapped optionals only for outlets and variables which cannot be initialized via init but are supposed to have a value when they are used the first time. It's up to you – the developer – to handle the cases carefully. In all other cases if a variable needs to be optional use a regular optional (?).

Sonic's Top Favorites menu ice cream items are buzzing!
No matter what you select from Sonic menu ice cream, there are plenty of flavors to choose from, so you can be sure you're enjoying your ideal ice cream. But before that, we separated a list of the most requested flavors from the fast food chain.
Triple Chocolate Blast:
What can be extraordinary about a triple chocolate blast? Smoothest, most predictable flavor there is, isn't it? There is no pain that chocolate dessert doesn't cure. The taste of chocolate stimulates sensors from the taste buds of the tongue to our brain, giving great pleasure. It features the same brownie pieces, plus chocolate syrup and mini chocolate pots swimming in the flavor of vanilla.
Triple Chocolate Blast is nutritious and can be considered a quality food. In addition, it stands out for transmitting a pleasurable sensation to anyone who experiences it.
Oreo Blast:
It sounds like a dream, but it isn't. By the way, the big thing here is to give a name to this gastronomic revolution. This is because we are facing the union of wonderful sweets. Sonic managed to combine the cookie, chocolate, vanilla ice dessert and cake in a single dish.
Adding cookies to ice cream to spice up the dessert has become such a common habit that this topic is only discussed on social networks.
SONIC Blast made with Mini M&M'S Chocolate Candies
Sonic's M&M's Milk-Shake takes the traditional Milk-Shake recipe: chocolate icing, milk and mix vanilla icing creamy; with the difference that it takes 2 ladles of crushed M&M's in the composition. How will it look? Just experimenting to find out!
And it's impossible to talk about these frozen delights, without thinking about the most classic recipe ever invented using the ice dessert, the famous Banana Split. A unique combination made with the fruit, which is a kind of sundae created in Pennsylvania, United States.
Over the dessert, a chocolate, pineapple or strawberry syrup is placed. In addition, a farofa made from walnuts or peanuts, whipped cream and a cherry is added. But, of course, this complete version of Banana Split was enhanced with the good taste of fast food, making the dish even more delicious.
