Grape vine leaves are very nutritious and very low in calorie.
They are enriched with Vitamin C,E,A,K and B6.
Vine leaves are good for heavy menstrual bleeding, uterine hemorrhage etc..
Heat oil in a pan and add grated garlic, chopped onion with some salt and saute until light brown color.
Wash and soak the rice for 10 minutes, drain the water and keep aside.
Take rest all ingredients for filling in a bowl and add sauteed onion, soaked rice and mix really well with your hand. Increase or decrease the lemon juice as per your liking.
Wash the fresh leaves thoroughly without tearing them.
Take boiled water with salt in a pot, add leaves to it and close the lid and keep for 10 minutes.
Then using a slotted spoon take off the leaves from the hot water and transfer them to a bowl with cold water. Keep there for another 10 minutes.
Now drain off the water and slightly wipe each leaves with a paper towel and keep aside.
You can also use canned vine leaves. (please see "tips& tricks" below).
Place vine leaves on a cutting board or a plate, facing the smooth side down touching the cutting board. Cut off the excess stems from the lower edge of the leaves (if it has).
Place about a table spoon of the prepared filling towards the centre of the leaf.
Fold the leaf tail from the down first, and then from two sides towards the meat filling. After that keep on rolling upwards. (Please dont roll them soo tightly, rice will expand while it cooks, so it need some space, otherwise it may tend to tear the leaves while cooking).
Repeat with rest of the meat filling and leaves.
In a deep bottom pan, layer some vine leaves as it cover entire bottom.
Arrange prepared dolma rolls close to each other, by facing roll end facing down (to avoid opening of rolls while it cooks). You can keep them in several layers if it require.
Then add roughly chopped garlic, lemon juice and some olive oil.
Keep one small plate on top of it as shown in the pic.
Close the lid, keep the pot in medium flame until it gets soft boil. After that reduce the flame to very low and simmer for about 45 to 60 minutes. At 35 minutes, please check whether rice is cooked by using a fork. You can cook further more if it is uncooked.
Serve Dolma Hot or warm with dollop of sour cream or hung yogurt.
You can use canned vine leaves instead of fresh one. If using canned one, just discard the water from the bottle and soak the leaves in cold water for about 10 minutes and drain off the water and dry with paper towel.
Cabbage can also be used instead of vine leaves. If using cabbage leaves blanch them in salted water until leaves are soft enough to roll.
Other veggies like zucchini, bell pepper, egg plant can also be used to stuff the filling.
You can also substitute meat with other veggies like grated carrots, cabbage, mushrooms etc to make vegetarian/vegan version of dolma.
Adjust the lemon juice in filling as per the sourness you like.
You can use water instead of chicken/vegetable stock.
You welcome dear. Here both of us love this now….so made it :D… try making changes to the filling as per your family's preference, then it will be a winner for sure!! Would love to hear if you tried.

6 Tips to Help You Remember to Take Your Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency Medication
Denise Mann
EPI Medication Is Essential to Your Health
A slip of mind and forgetting to take your medication at the right time might not seem like a big deal. But if you have exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), missing a dose can mean gas, pain, bloating, and other gastrointestinal symptoms during and after eating.
Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is the cornerstone of treatment for EPI, which occurs when your pancreas doesn't produce the enzymes necessary to absorb nutrients from food. These supplements contain three pancreatic enzymes: lipase, amylase, and protease, according to Pancreatic Cancer Action, a UK-based charity.Taking these enzymes as directed can help stave off uncomfortable symptoms and prevent long-term damage to the pancreas, as well as help your body absorb nutrients from the foods you're eating. The key is remembering how and when to take them. Missing just one dose of PERT can cause EPI symptoms, says Andres Gelrud, MD, a clinical pancreatologist and an associate professor of medicine at the University of Chicago Medicine. That's why it's so important to take them regularly. Here's how.
Link PERT to Food
Make your new mantra, "If I eat, I take digestive enzymes," says Mohamed Othman, MD, the director of advanced endoscopy and an assistant professor of medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. "Every time you eat, you must take your medicine," he says. "In the beginning, it is very hard to remember this." But it's important to make taking the PERT dosage your doctor has mapped out for you as routine as putting your napkin on your lap as you sit down to eat.
Use a Pill Organizer
Pill organizers can serve as useful medication reminders, Dr. Othman says. Some are divided by meals or time of day, and others come with alarms and timers. Using an organizer can also help you or your caregiver determine if your pills are being taken as directed. For instance, if you're prescribed a certain number of pills each month and there are pills left in the box at the end of the week or in the bottle at the end of the month, it's likely that you're not always taking them correctly, he says.
Keep Your Medication Visible
There's no point in having a pillbox or other type of organizer if you forget it at mealtimes. "Keep your pillbox nearby and in a highly visible spot during meals," Othman says. "It's essential to make sure your medication fits in your handbag so that you have it handy if you go out to eat." If you pack your lunch for the workday, you can include your pills in your lunch kit, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation suggests.
Recruit Help
Having a condition like exocrine pancreatic insufficiency can affect your quality of life. That's why it's important to build up a support network. Explaining EPI to your friends and family can help you stick to your regimen — especially if you've been self-conscious about taking pills in front of people. You'll also be less likely to forget to take your medication if you have loved ones to remind you.
Remember the Physical Consequences
This is the kind of reminder you want to avoid: "If you do forget your PERT once or twice, you usually won't forget it again anytime soon," says Brett C. Sheppard, MD, a professor, clinical vice-chair of surgery, chair for pancreatic disease research, and co-director of the Brenden-Colson Center for Pancreatic Care at the Oregon Health and Science University in Portland.
Dr. Gelrud agrees: "People who have EPI will experience symptoms if they skip a dose, and that is usually enough to make sure they don't forget again," he says. "If skipping medication makes no difference and that's the reason why they forget to take it, I would question the diagnosis of EPI."
Sometimes You Can Double Down If Uncertain
Ingram Image
If you can't remember whether you took your PERT, take it again, assuming you're still eating, Othman says. (To be effective, PERT must be taken as you start to eat so that the enzymes mix with your food, notes the Pancreatic Cancer Action.) But don't let this become a habit, Othman adds: "This is not a good long-term strategy, as taking too much can result in constipation." According to research published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology in 2014, high doses of PERT could also cause narrowing of the colon, particularly in people with cystic fibrosis, though the researchers described this effect as rare.
If you have trouble remembering to take your medication — or remembering if you took a dose or not — you can also try programming an alarm or a quieter alert to go off at regular intervals over the course of a meal to remind you to take each prescribed dose.

The ability to describe the phenomenology and to recognize and distinguish symptoms are an important part of the fellowship. Our expertise center attends to a wide range of patients with for instance Parkinsonism, dystonia, myoclonus, tremor, ataxia, hereditary spastic paraparesis, chorea, tics and functional movement disorders.
Due to the complexity of the referred patients, one quickly becomes familiar with the motor and non-motor aspects of the various movement disorders.
We facilitate several specialized outpatient clinics, including a multidisciplinary clinic for movement disorders in children, an outpatient clinic for M. Parkinson (Punt voor Parkinson) and an outpatient department for functional movement disorders. During the fellowship, there is also ample opportunity to become proficient in the interpretation of additional studies (imaging modalities, neurophysiology and molecular diagnostics). Furthermore, one gains experience with different treatment modalities, such as botuline toxin injections for dystonia, drug treatment of all movement disorders, including apomorphine and intraduodenal levodopa therapy in M. Parkinson, and deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease, tremors and dystonia. There is a special care process for DBS in children with dystonia.
In addition to patient care, there are several meetings per week, including a video discussion of all patients seen at the outpatient clinic, research / literature review, and a multidisciplinary deep brain stimulation meeting.
Our group currently consists of five neurologists, two neurosurgeons, a pediatric metabolic disease, three clinical neurophysiologists, two specialized nurses and a physician assistant. In addition, clinical geneticists, rehabilitation physicians, psychiatrists and neuropsychologists are closely involved.
During the fellowship there is the possibility to see many patients with movement disorders, but also to develop scientific competences. The fellow can occupy himself full-time with movement disorders.
We seek a neurologist who recently completed his or her education, or will soon do so, with a clear interest in movement disorders reflected in the resume.


DARK MONEY, DATA, BREXIT, TRUMP – What's the story?
The first in an occasional series to accompany the UNTOLD: Dial M for Mueller podcast with Carole Cadwalldr on why Britain needs an FBI-style investigation into Brexit.
Two years on the from the surprise victory of Donald Trump in the US presidential election and Britain's shock referendum vote to leave the EU, the involvement of the Russian government in both is beyond dispute.
We still don't know precisely whether, how or why campaigners for Trump and Brexit might have colluded with Kremlin's unprecedented attack on our democratic process. Until there is more evidence (and that could arrive imminently from the opening of sealed indictments) it's still in the realm of conjecture, easily dismissed as 'conspiracy theory'.
But the plan of attack, the five-year-long campaign of information warfare by Putin's agencies and proxies, is beyond speculation. The various complaints and indictments against the Internet Research Agency, Russian Military Intelligence, Maria Butina and Elena Alekseevna Khusyaynova can only be described as 'conspiracy fact'.
To help understand the broad outlines of this conspiracy – at least from the Russian point of view – two broad phases are obvious. PART ONE covers the development of effective weapons in the 'fifth battlespace' – information/virtual war. PART TWO coming soon will follow the financing and deployment.
Putin's worsening relations with both the US and the EU date back to tension over Georgia and the Orange revolution in Ukraine the previous decade. They became dire during his Presidential re-election in 2012, widely criticised for human rights violations, especially by the then US secretary of state Hilary Clinton.
In November 2013, Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovitch reneged on his former policy of closer integration with the European Union and decided to join Putin's 'Eurasian Union' equivalent instead. Protests began in Kiev that month and culminated in the Maidan revolution the following year, during which over 100 protestors were killed. Yanukovich fled Ukraine and his regime was toppled, but Putin invaded the Eastern Donbas region of the country and – to global disapproval and the imposition of sanctions on his key oligarchs and banks – annexed the Crimean peninsula.
In November 2013, Putin commissioned Concord Management, a private contractor and mercenary organisation run by his close ally Yevgeny Prigozhin, to set up the Internet Research Agency in the Olgino suburb of St Petersburg.
By early 2014 the Russian Troll factory would be hiring dozens of English speaking staff to create hundreds of thousands of social media accounts with a monthly budget of over $1.25m. Operatives would be sent to the US to set up false bank accounts and identities and the company would spend over $35m in the run to the Brexit and Trump votes, creating highly divisive but convincing covert propaganda which was seen by over 160 million people on Facebook alone in the US. (Facebook refuses to disclose the UK figures).
Rykov claimed that Trump himself was involved in the commissioning for this digital project " a special scientific department of the "Cambridge University".
Around the time the Internet Research Agency was being established, on the weekend of the 8-9th of November 2013, Donald Trump attended the Moscow version of his Miss Universe pageant, sponsored by another oligarch close to Putin, Aras Agalarov.
There they talked about building a Trump Tower in Moscow, and though he didn't get to meet him face to face – the President was delayed by state functions – Trump claims to have talked to Putin and received gifts and messages from him.
Soon after the Miss Universe event, the organiser Yulya Alferova started talking about supporting Trump in a presidential bid. Alferova had been accompanied the weekend by her then-husband, another ruble billionaire, Artem Klyushin.
Klyushin was, in turn, a close friend of Konstantin Rykov – known as an internet guru and the "propagandist arm of the Putin government". As early as November 2012, when Mitt Romney was defeated by Barack Obama, Rykov had been discussing Trump as the next Republican candidate.
Rykov would go on to be an avid supporter of Trump over the next few years. In two Facebook posts in November 2017 Rykov claimed he had coordinated two hacking organisations and Wikileaks to get Trump elected in an "insane, but realisable" propaganda campaign based on psychology and social media, which was able '"digitize" all possible types of modern man'.
Rykov even claimed that Trump himself was involved in the commissioning for this digital project "a special scientific department of the "Cambridge University".
This was only four days after the election of Trump. At that point, Cambridge Analytica's work for Trump and was not widely known, and its psychometric targeting even more secret.
That same autumn of 2013 is also the key moment when Cambridge Analytica was created under the auspices of Britain's military psy-ops contractor, SCL.
Steve Bannon, vice president and co-founder of Cambridge Analytica, had by now established a friendship with the UKIP leader Nigel Farage and believed that the UK was a key battleground in his belief that history was a turning point in the battle between globalists and nativists.
According to Chris Wylie, who became head of research for the new company, it was born out of exactly this kind of understanding of 'psychotypes' or psychometric targeting. With the help of hacked data from over 75 million Facebook users, Cambridge Analytica would spend the next three years researching the 'ideal image' of a potential supporter of an authoritarian candidate – then target them in an 'information operation' using the networks and flows of social media.
The new digital targeting company was named Cambridge Analytica for two reasons according to Wylie. The first was practical and prosaic.
Much of the key research work into personality profiling and big data was being conducted at Cambridge University by Michal Kosinski at the university's Psychometrics Centre.
According to Wylie, Bannon believed that 'politics flows downstream from culture'. In the US, Britain was seen as more cultured, stayed, intelligent. So if the UK could succumb to populism, the US was more likely to follow.
Wylie would soon draw up a contract with a company founded by another Cambridge psychologist, Alexandr Kogan, to test the modelling on a vast amount of data on Facebook users likes and profiles.
The second reason for the name was more evocative and revealing. Steve Bannon, vice president and co-founder of Cambridge Analytica, had by now established a friendship with the UKIP leader Nigel Farage and believed that the UK was a key battleground in his belief that history was a turning point in the battle between globalists and nativists. A year earlier he had encouraged Farage to set up his own Tea Party movement, based on the insurgent populist campaigns in the US that had spread in the wake of the credit crunch and the collapse of Lehmann Brothers.
Bannon had served in the US Navy, worked for Goldman Sachs, as a producer in Hollywood and a brief period employed a team to mine virtual gold for World of Warcraft players, before he had taken over the Breitbart platform after the sudden death of its namesake and founder, Andrew Breitbart.
With this track record in military, finance, films and gaming Bannon was in a perfect position to understand the importance of culture and social media in the new kind of hybrid warfare also being developed in Russia.
According to Wylie, Bannon believed that 'politics flows downstream from culture',. In the US, Britain was seen as more cultured, stayed, intelligent. So if the UK could succumb to populism, the US was more likely to follow.
Wylie says he and Nix deliberately created a false office in Cambridge – a kind of Potemkin village – to impress Bannon during his visits.
Throughout this period, Putin's general strategy was to co-opt right wing and anti-EU leaders throughout Europe. After an abortive attempt to reach to reach out to British eurosceptics through the Conservative Friends of Russia group, the Russian Ambassador made a more concerted attempt to get close to the UKIP leadership, and in May 2013 Farage visited Yakovenko at the embassy in London. He then started regular well-paid appearances on, what for all intents and purposes is a Russian state broadcaster, RT.
Called a 'Conservative Madrasa', the hard right libertarian Young Britons Foundation was an offshoot of the Young Americas Foundation, which was funded through offshore tax havens by none other than Bannon's backer in Breitbart and Cambridge Analytica – Robert Mercer. The YAF listed his activist daughter Rebekah as a staff member.
At the Churchill College event, Bannon appeared on a platform with Harry Cole, then a writer for the Guido Fawkes website, and Raheem Kassam, a young activist who had worked for the Henry Jackson Society and the Tax Payer's Alliance. Within a few months, Kassam would set up the London branch of Breitbart for Bannon.
The Breitbart media channel, which Bannon has described as his 'weapons', would be crucial to weaponising news and analytics in both the election of Trump and the Brexit vote. Farage even admitted as much after the Brexit vote by thanking both on video, saying 'Well done Bannon. Well done Breitbart. You helped with this hugely'.
Three years before Brexit, Kassam wasn't the only crucial figure at that YBF tenth anniversary conference in Cambridge before Christmas.
Matthew Elliott, a regular attendee and member of the YBF advisory board, set up the Tax Payer's Alliance and formed a digital campaigning company, WESS digital, with the right-wing blogger Paul Staines that March. Staines' company Messagespace had worked on campaigns for the Russian Embassy the year before. WESS had plans to expand their digital database METIS from half a million to 10 million for the forthcoming general election 'to build a picture of people using data on their political behaviour'.
Matthew Elliott would go on to become the Chief Executive of the official Vote Leave campaign during the EU referendum.
Another early adopter of digital technology, and a barrister specialising in social media, was the YBF's executive director Matthew Richardson. He would go on to become secretary of UKIP, and play a key role in introducing Farage's Leave EU campaign to Cambridge Analytica. He also provided legal opinions on the funding of Leave EU.
In 2017, Matthew Richardson would join Farage and his bankroller Arron Banks in their famous visit to Trump Tower in New York to be snapped in front of the golden lift with the newly elected president.
But all that was to come. In 2013, everything was still to play for. Though Prime minister David Cameron had committed to an 'In/Out' EU referendum earlier that year, there was no guarantee he would win the next general election in 2015 and call for the referendum.
Meanwhile, though all his aides by now knew Trump was planning to run for president, there were many potential slips and falls before the campaign would start up in earnest towards the end of 2015.
And that's where PART TWO will pick up. The second phase of Putin's plan – the funding and deployment of the new cyber-weapons in the autumn of 2015.
Carole Cadwalladr and I will drill down into these years in much more detail in our new podcast – trail below.


The Center for Communication Skills, a private practice founded in Fresno in 1995 by Kathryn Wage, provides traditional research-based speech-language therapy enhanced by innovative, promising treatments in a progressive, positive environment.
In 1996, Kathryn introduced the Fast ForWord program to her practice, a neuroscience based program that utilizes computer driven training to improve language processing. At the time it was introduced, Fast ForWord was revolutionary for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was the measurable gains it created in a short amount of time. Our first few clients using the training demonstrated measurable and observable gains, as have 90% of the hundreds of clients using the program since then. Fast ForWord training programs have become an important tool at the Center for Communication Skills since being introduced in 1996 and are now the Gold Standard for comparing effectiveness of other learning interventions.
Many of our clients with language impairments have academic challenges as well. To address these needs Kathryn became active in the Central California Branch of the International Dyslexia Association. The Orton-Gillingham teaching method, advocated by IDA, is the most successful intervention for those with reading challenges. or dyslexia. Of the several different programs available based on those methods the Barton Reading and Spelling program was the best match for the Center. These programs have grown into our California Learning Connection Learning Academy. Clients at the Center have benefitted greatly using Orton-Gillingham methods in combination with language training i.e. direct therapy and Fast ForWord.
In a continuing search for more pioneering programs which comply with or can be adapted to neuroscience principles other programs have been added to the tool kit. Math You See, Kaufman Apraxia Program, Systematic Articulation Training Program Accessing Computers (SAT-PAC) and Michelle Winner's Social Skills training programs are now part of the Center's resources. The latest addition, Smart Palate, is a biofeedback device to aid the correction of difficult articulation, swallowing, coordination and speech issues.
In 2000, the CCS joined with Goodfellow Occupational Therapy to offer combined services of speech-language therapy and occupational therapy for our young clients, especially those on the autism spectrum. The Center pioneered co-treatment to enhance outcomes by combining the two therapy disciplines.
CCS will continue to search for new, innovative, efficient ways to treat speech, language and learning problems.

About 50 sea turtles visit the California coast each year, compared with about 178 in the 1990s, according to the Center for Biological Diversity.
(Via Oceana)
California adds Pacific leatherback sea turtle to its endangered species list
Scientists say 1,000-pound leatherback sea turtles have declined by about 5.6% in California each year for the past three decades.
California has added the Pacific leatherback sea turtle to its endangered species list, guaranteeing more protections for a rapidly dwindling population.
The California Fish and Game Commission voted Thursday to add the turtles under the state's Endangered Species Act.
The world's largest turtle species have been on the federal endangered species list since 1973. But scientists now know more about how crucial California is to their survival, said Catherine Kilduff, an attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity.
A subpopulation of leatherback sea turtles hatch on beaches in Indonesia. Once fully grown, they swim nearly 6,000 miles to eat jellyfish off the California coast. Adult leatherback sea turtles weigh an average of 1,000 pounds.
Scientists say these turtles have declined by about 5.6% in California each year for the past three decades. About 50 sea turtles visit the California coast each year, compared with about 178 turtles in the 1990s, according to the Center for Biological Diversity.
Adding turtles to California's endangered species list will make them a conservation priority for state agencies. It will also increase the state's cooperation with federal agencies to protect the sea turtle population.
"Leatherbacks that forage for jellyfish off the California coast will now receive greater protection in our state from entanglement in fishing gear, giving them a better chance at survival," said Todd Steiner, executive director of Turtle Island Restoration Network. "We are hopeful this action will put these ancient, gentle giants on a path to recovery."

OS X and iOS backup: the ultimate guide
By Hollin Jones (MacFormat Issue 247) 2012-06-07T09:00:00.158Z Apple
Apple provides all the tools you need...
Use Time Machine to keep regular backups of your Mac and you'll never be caught out
We increasingly rely on our Macs, iPhones and iPads to store all of our personal data. Everything from holiday photos to contacts, financial records and movie projects are kept on our Apple devices. And for the most part, this is fine.
The problem arises however when something unexpected happens. A computer crash, a phone dropped in the sink or a theft, for example. It's always been important to keep regular backups of your data but these days it's inexcusable not to do so, especially since Apple has done everything it can to make the process as easy as possible for you.
Let's start with backing up your iOS device, since a phone is perhaps more likely to be stolen or dropped than a Mac. This applies to iPads and recent iPods as well, since they all use a variation of the same operating system.
The first thing to do if you haven't already is to upgrade to iOS 5, which anyone with an iPad, iPhone 3GS or newer can do for free. There's a very good reason for doing this, and it's that iCloud is integrated into the system.
iCloud is Apple's backup system for iOS devices, and every user gets 5GB of online storage space, which can be upgraded if you need more. Your account is linked to your Apple ID and when you set up your device for the first time, you will be asked if you want to use iCloud (you should answer in the affirmative).
iCloud for iOS is designed to be almost invisible, and once activated it will back up your device's data and settings whenever it is plugged into the power, locked and connected to a Wi-Fi network. This is the situation most people's phones are in when recharging at home, so you don't have to do anything special to make it happen.
If you go into Settings > iCloud on the device, you can turn iCloud backup on if it's not already on, and view and manage your storage levels. 5GB should be enough for most people, as contacts and emails don't take up a lot of space.
If you start to back up photos and apps you might start to run low on space, though there is the option to selectively include or exclude these things from a backup. There's even a Back Up Now button to do a backup manually, and if you have more than one device you'll see them all listed in this section.
iCloud is also used to host things like Photo Stream, which automatically uploads all photos taken on one device and makes them available on your others, if it is switched on. It's a brilliant 'fire and forget' backup solution because it works by itself, and if you get a new, replacement device you can restore all the data from the old one down from the cloud by linking the new device to your Apple ID.
iTunes backup
Another way to back up your iOS devices is to connect them to your Mac using their USB cable and waiting for them to pop up in iTunes, then right-click on the device and choose Back Up and also Transfer Purchases to copy downloaded apps, movies, music and books. This creates a local, physical copy of the data from the device, which some people like to have as it doesn't rely on being online.
You can also choose to sync the device wirelessly with your Mac, which has much the same effect, only it doesn't require a USB cable to be connected. If you go to the Summary tab in iTunes for your device, you will see the option to back it up either locally or to iCloud. The two are not mutually exclusive, so you could perform a local backup of a phone for example, then switch to iCloud for all subsequent backups.
One particularly good thing about iCloud backup is that it doesn't matter where you are, as long as you are on a wireless network. So you can still back up while you're on the road or on holiday, without needing access to your Mac. Imagine an unfortunate situation where your phone or iPad was stolen: as long as you had backed it up recently, you could restore everything back onto a new one wirelessly.
Mac in the cloud
So you've switched on iCloud for your iOS device, but what about your Mac? If you're on OS X 10.7.3, you can use iCloud there too.
In System Preferences you can go to the iCloud tab and enter the same Apple ID you used with your other devices, and access the same iCloud storage account. You'll see the option to turn on backup for Mail, contacts, calendars, bookmarks and documents and data.
The last option backs up documents created with Apple's iWork apps, though not documents created with third-party apps. The idea is that by activating these, you can maintain the same settings across your Mac and all your iOS devices.
So if you add a bookmark on your Mac, it will appear on your iPhone. Add a contact to your iPad and after the next backup, it's on your Mac.
You can be selective too, so you could for example choose not to back up mail from your Mac, but to back up everything else.
iCloud is excellent but it doesn't deal with more substantial backups for your Mac, it's really more of a synchronisation tool. Luckily, Apple provides Time Machine, a powerful backup system that is a part of OS X 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7. Again, it's so simple to use that there's no excuse not to use it and to risk losing data in the event of an emergency.
Time Machine not only creates full backups of your system, it also works incrementally, so that only files that are new or altered since the last backup will be copied. This saves a lot of time and disk space, and avoids the unnecessary duplication of data.
Time Machine can back up to any hard drive, so it's worth investing in an external USB 2.0 model with a decent capacity of 500GB or so: these are surprisingly inexpensive. Simply connect the external drive, go into Time Machine's preferences and specify the drive as a backup drive. Choose any items that you want to specifically exclude from the backup (perhaps downloads that you are going to delete soon) and then press Go.
On first run, Time Machine will create a full backup of your entire Mac, right down to the system level. In the event of a catastrophe, you can simply boot this or another Mac from the system DVD or use Lion Internet Recovery, connect the backup drive and choose to restore the whole system back to your Mac.
This is a much more comprehensive backup technique than burning to DVD. Why? Because it takes a working snapshot of the whole system. If you ever need it, and people sometimes do, a full Time Machine backup is a lifesaver.
It works with any hard drive but Apple makes the Time Capsule, a combined high speed Wi-Fi base station plus a large hard drive, which is designed to work seamlessly with Time Machine. The advantage it has is that it works wirelessly, so your backups can be performed automatically in the background without you needing to connect a separate hard drive.
Imagine backing up several Macs in a house to one, centrally located wireless backup drive. This is what you can do with Time Capsule.
There are quite a few Macs still out there that are not running OS X 10.5, which is the first version that included Time Machine. For those users, most of whom are on 10.4, as well as for anyone who prefers an alternative to Apple's own tools, there are other ways to back up your Mac.
Carbon Copy Cloner, available free from www.bombich.com, has evolved into a very capable backup solution, with many more options than Time Machine.
On one level, it's able to create complete, bootable backup disk images of your entire system - great for taking snapshots. Let's say you have a Mac working beautifully but want to try a major system upgrade. Taking a copy of the working system means that in the event of a disaster, you can easily revert back to it.
It's also a handy tool for installing the same setup on lots of Macs at once, which IT admins often have to do. Get the system working on one Mac, create an image then distribute it across a network.
Carbon Copy Cloner is also adept at incremental backups, and like Time Machine only backs up files that have changed since the last backup. It also supports scheduling so it can run without you having to tell it what to do, and has the ability to back up across the internet.
Another excellent third-party Mac backup tool is SuperDuper!, which is available from www.shirt-pocket.com.
On a more basic level, you can simply drag and drop folders from your Mac onto external hard drives or burn them to DVD using the Finder or a dedicated utility like Toast. This doesn't do any clever version checking like Time Machine, but it's quick and easy, and lets you perform a quick 'safety' backup without including any files that you may not need to back up.
It's common practice amongst professionals to regularly duplicate a folder of work to a new drive while a project is ongoing, just for peace of mind. Even something like a power cut which causes your Mac to suddenly shut down can cause loss of data, and if it's been a day since your last Time Machine backup, you might lose all of today's work.
You probably shouldn't let backing up take over your life, but it's good to be on top of it nonetheless.
There are alternatives to Apple's iCloud for the Mac too, though none which integrate at a system level, even though many do have dedicated apps rather than needing to be run from a browser. Some of the best include Backblaze, Carbonite, Livedrive, Mozy and CrashPlan, and they all work in broadly similar ways. There's also Dropbox, which isn't technically a backup solution, though you can use it as a limited kind of backup tool.
These online backup services are generally fairly inexpensive and offer differing levels of free and paid storage, plus 'watch folders' to upload data automatically, and the ability to restore files and folders back to your Mac. They often also have companion iOS apps so you can synchronise data across your devices.
Online backup is still limited compared to local, hard drive-based backup, where you might have backups running to hundreds of gigabytes; and online systems are better suited to files, pictures and media than backing up entire systems. Between all these backup options there's sure to be one that suits you, so make sure you're backed up and up to date today!
How to use iCloud to back up your iOS device
1. Turn it on
Go into your device's Settings app and locate the iCloud section therein. If you activated iCloud during setup of the device, it should already be on. If not you can switch it on from here. You will need to be on a wireless network to complete the next steps.
2. Choose components
From this menu you can choose what to back up and what to omit (if anything). Most things use relatively little space, though Photo Stream can use up more if you have a lot of photos. Find My iPad/iPhone is great if you're prone to losing things.
3. Manage Storage
Tap the Storage and Backup option and you'll be taken to a new section. At the bottom there's a Back Up Now button which you can tap to force a backup. You can also switch iCloud backups on or off from this screen. The totals at the top tell you how much space you have left.
4. View the details
Tap the Manage Storage option to be taken to a screen showing the devices associated with your Apple ID, along with how much space they're using. Any iWork-compatible documents that have been backed up will also be shown.
5. Change the settings
Tap a device to load its backup plan. The most recent backup is shown at the top, and the total backup size online. Underneath is a list of apps in size order, largest first. You can see I have chosen to omit some of the larger ones.
6. Select apps
Tap Show More Apps and you'll see a list of apps on your device, and you can choose to set each one to back up or be left out. Apps can be re-downloaded in emergencies, though you may lose settings if they were not backed up.

WineLog » Blogs » Anthony's Wine Blog » Gott Wine?
Spending a Monday night drinking wine & noshing on tasty appetizers is always fun. Add to that hanging out with Joel Gott, winemaker at Joel Gott Wines and the evening becomes a real treat! One winery is not enough for Joel , he is also the owner of the Gott's Roadside establishments, one of the Three Thieves, & one half of Shatter, a collaboration from the little known region of Maury, France.
A wine trade event, sponsored by Capital Wine & Spirits and Trinchero Family Estates was held at The Dandelion, a London themed gastropub from Stephen Starr's restaurant group. Attendees included Sommeliers Bill Eccleston of Panorama Wine Bar & Henry Greenly of Del Frisco's.
A very down to earth, easy to talk to kinda person, Joel's unpretentious passion for his winemaking is easily understood by both novice & professional. His destiny you might say was always tied to the grape, he grew up in a winemaking family so honing his craft started at a young age.
At Joel Gott wines, the art of blending is key, whether a single varietal from different regions , a multiple varietal blend, or a combination of both produces quality higher than the sum of the parts. This boy is like a trained Truffle hound when it comes to finding excellent sources of fruit. These wines are some of the best values on the shelves, it takes real skill & dedication to produce this type of quality in the $15-$20 price range.
Joel Gott 2011 Pinot Gris Wilamette/Southern Oregon $15 Citrus, little hint of grass, honeysuckle, very well made, a favorite of the night.
Joel Gott 2011 Sauvignon Blanc Monterey/Lake County/Lodi/Russian River $13 Elegant nose, lemon, gooseberry, a light New Zealand structure if you will. A pretty wine that went well with my Oysters on the half shell.
Joel Gott 2011 Chardonnay unoaked $16 Monterey/ Napa valley/ Napa/ Sonoma All stainless steel, no Malolactic fermentation, Just a wonderful expression, completely transparent, any flaws would be immediately noticeable, & this Chardonnay had none. Crisp green apple, bright acidity makes your mouth water in delight. I would either drink this on its own or have with light fare as to not overpower the subtleness.
Joel Gott 2011 Riesling Columbia Valley, Washington $12 An absolute steal! Petrol, stone fruit, little floral notes add to the hint of sweetness & balanced by the cool climate acidity from the Columbia Valley fruit.
Joel Gott 2010 Zinfandel Napa Valley Amador/ Amador/ Dry Creek/ Mendocino/ Russian River $17 Big jammy nose, plenty of sour cherry marry well with the supple tannins. A nice intro to California Zin.
Joel Gott 2010 815 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley/Sonoma county/Lodi/Lake county/Mendocino $17 Vanilla, cherry, & a surprising treat Eucalyptus! That usually is a note found in some pretty lofty Calif. Cabs, most notably Heitz Martha's vineyard. Soft tannins make this an easy drinking wine.
Joel Gott 2011 Alakai Knights Valley/ Monterey $17 Alakai is Hawaiian for guide or leader. This Rhone blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre & Carignane is just a lovely wine. Raspberry, bubblegum, nutmeg, and a little pepper, combine with a light but present tannic structure to create a fun food wine for a wide variety of cuisines. Another favorite.
The Show 2011 Garnacha Calatayud, Spain $13 The Show wines are another joint venture from the Three Thieves: Joel Gott, Charles Bieler, & Roger Scommegna. The nose was closed, but thanks to pausing to talk to a friend, a little time & increased temperature brought Licorice, plum & tart blackberry to mind. Hard to beat finding a better Grenache at this price point.
The Show 2011 Malbec Lujan/Uco Valley, Argentina $10 Come on only ten dollars for dark cherry, a little tobacco, more dark cherry and caramel with chewy tannins on the finish. A nice introductory Argentinean Malbec.
Shatter 2011 Maury, France $30 This guy never stops looking for the next project & this one's a doozy. A collaboration between Joel & Dave Phinney from Orin Swift. A 100% Grenache, sourced from the Roussillon, France specifically from the Maury region, known for making fortified Port style wines. The soil is more akin to the lunar surface, think moon rock, but makes for fantastic wine grapes! This is an intriguing wine with hard candy, eucalyptus, strawberry, & subtle oak. I needed more time to flesh out the complexities which I will be more than happy to do at a later date.
While many of my articles tend to focus on limited production, old Bordeaux, etc, I am always looking for moderately priced quality wines that as a friend once said, "can be drunk with reckless abandon". Most of the above wines fit that niche quite nicely, while the Shatter still offers value at it's own price point.
Sounds like a fun event and a great group of wines and people! Cheers!
Tks for the comment Isaac, Joel was a neat guy.
Looks like fun. Sorry I didn't know about it. Glad you had a good time.


There's a lot of advice for inventors on how to do customer research. Yet, so many inventors do it poorly. They send surveys too early. They talk to the wrong people. They ask the wrong questions. And in turn, they gather misleading data.
It's better to do no customer research than to do bad customer research. Bad research will point you in the wrong direction. It will cause you to focus on the wrong things.
Better to trust your gut, build a quick, cheap, and flexible prototype, then test that.

Q: get reference to external library xml modules I am using the MaterialDesignLibrary of navasmdc.
Now I just want to get a reference to the Button and I get the issue:

Incompatible types:
  required: com.gc.materialdesign.views.buttonflat
  found: android.view.view

My code is as follows:
   (...)

    ButtonFlat cmdNextButton;

    (...)

      @Override
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                                 Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_registration_page_stufe, container, false);

            cmdNextButton = rootView.findViewById(R.id.registration_button_next);

            return rootView;
        }

    (...)

In my xml is simply the button:
 <com.gc.materialdesign.views.ButtonFlat
                android:id="@+id/registration_button_next"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:background="@color/colorPrimaryDark"
                android:text="weiter" />

I do not understand why I get that issue because the button I create in code is from the library class I use. Android studio even imported it automatically...

A: The findViewById() method returns a View, and you need to cast it to what type of View it is.  You would need to do this for a regular Button as well.
You can see in this example the correct way to assign a ButtonFlat reference.
Just cast the result of findViewById(), and it should work:
cmdNextButton = (ButtonFlat) rootView.findViewById(R.id.registration_button_next);

Last frontier: rush to colonize the planets
With recent advances in technology, it may soon be possible for humanity to explore and colonize other planets. There are many reasons why we should colonize other planets.
First, by colonizing other planets, we can ensure the survival of our species in case something catastrophic happens to Earth.
Second, by colonizing other planets, we can expand our knowledge of the universe and discover new and exciting things about our place in it.
Third, by colonizing other planets, we can exploit their resources and use them to improve our own standard of living.
Finally, by colonizing other planets, we can establish a permanent human presence in space, which would be an incredible feat for our species.
But there are also ethical concerns about colonization, such as whether or not it would be fair to the native populations (if they exist) of these planets.
The challenges of colonizing planets
Colonizing other planets is a difficult challenge. Although great progress has been made in space exploration and technology, the challenges of colonizing other planets remain.
The biggest challenge is that humans have yet to find a way to live sustainably on another planet.
The second challenge is that even if humans could find a way to live on another planet, they would have to find a way to terraform it to make it habitable for them. Terraforming is the process of deliberately altering a planet's environment to make it more Earth-like, but even that is not yet a proven science. We would need to find a way to create sustainable communities on these planets.
The third challenge is that currently there is no way to travel to another planet in a reasonable amount of time. Even if all of these challenges could be overcome, there are still ethical considerations to take into account when colonizing other planets.
Innovations in space exploration
With technological advances in recent years, space exploration has become more accessible than ever. In addition to traditional methods like rocket-powered flight and orbiting satellites, new methods like reusable spacecraft and 3D printing are revolutionizing the way we explore the cosmos.
Rocket-powered flight is the most well-known form of space travel, and it has been used since the earliest days of space exploration. However, it is also one of the most expensive and dangerous methods, due to the high speeds and forces involved. Additionally, traditional rockets can only be fired once, making them extremely expensive to operate.
Reusable spacecraft offer a cheaper and safer alternative to traditional rocket-powered flight. These spacecraft are designed to be launched multiple times, greatly reducing the cost per launch. In addition, they are often equipped with landing gear, which makes them much easier to recover after a mission. One of the most notable examples of a reusable spacecraft is SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, which has launched dozens of times since its debut in 2010.
3D printing is another relatively new technology that is beginning to be used in space exploration. This technology allows the production of complex parts and structures using only a digital model. This allows faster and cheaper production of spacecraft components, as well as custom parts for specific missions. NASA has already used 3D printing to create parts for its Orion spacecraft, and the technology is expected to be used more widely in the future.
Another significant advance in space exploration technology has been the development of powerful telescopes and other observation tools. Using these tools, astronomers have been able to make amazing discoveries about our universe, such as the existence of planets orbiting other stars. One of the most powerful telescopes currently in operation is NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, scheduled for launch in 2021. The James Webb Space Telescope will be able to observe some of the most distant objects in our universe and could help us better understand how our universe was born.
In addition to technological advances, there have also been significant advances in our understanding of the universe itself. Recently, scientists have discovered evidence for the existence of gravitational waves – ripples in spacetime created by massive events like the collision of two black holes. This discovery was made possible by another telescope, called LIGO (The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory).
As we continue to push the boundaries of space exploration, it's important to remember that there are still many mysteries about our universe that remain unsolved. But with each new discovery, we get a little closer to understanding the cosmos around us. The future of space exploration looks bright, with new technologies making it more accessible and affordable than ever. With continued innovation, we can expect to see even more amazing discoveries in the years to come.
What companies can lead the colonization of other planets
It is difficult to predict exactly when humans will be able to colonize other planets. Currently, space travel is still quite difficult and expensive, and many technical and logistical challenges must be overcome before large-scale colonization of other planets becomes possible. However, many organizations and people are working to develop the technology and infrastructure needed for space travel and colonization. These efforts include the development of new spacecraft and propulsion systems, as well as research into the challenges of living and working in space, such as the effects of long-term space exposure on the human body.
If these efforts are successful, it is possible that humans could begin establishing colonies on other planets within the next few decades.
However, this is still a long-term goal, and there is still a lot of work to be done to make it a reality. Companies have started exploring the possibility of colonizing other planets, and many are actively looking for ways to do this. a reality.
The first company that comes to mind when talking about space exploration is SpaceX. Founded by Elon Musk in 2002, SpaceX has become one of the most successful private space exploration companies in the world. They have already achieved many milestones, including the launch of their Falcon 9 rocket into orbit and its successful landing on Earth. They are also working on a project called Starship, designed to transport humans and cargo to Mars and beyond.
Blue Origin is another company that is actively researching ways to colonize other planets. Founded by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos in 2000, Blue Origin has made significant progress in its mission to make space travel more accessible and affordable for everyone. The company recently unveiled its New Shepard rocket system, which will be used for suborbital spaceflight. They are also developing their own spacecraft called Blue Moon which will be able to transport humans and cargo beyond Earth orbit.
NASA is another major player in the race to colonize other planets. The agency has been at the forefront of space exploration since its inception in 1958 and continues to lead the way with groundbreaking research and technological advancements. NASA's Orion spacecraft was designed for long-term missions, such as sending astronauts to Mars or beyond our solar system. The agency also recently announced plans for a moon base called Gateway that will serve as a staging area for future deep-space missions.
Finally, several small companies are also making waves in the field of space exploration. Planetary Resources Inc., founded by Peter Diamandis and Eric Anderson in 2009, aims to extract resources such as water or minerals from asteroids that could be used on Earth or elsewhere in our solar system. Deep Space Industries (DSI) was founded shortly after Planetary Resources Inc., with a similar mission but focusing more on asteroid mining technology than resource extraction itself.
Finally, Made In Space Inc., founded by Jason Dunn and Mike Chen in 2010, specializes in 3D printing technology specifically designed for use outside Earth's atmosphere – a key part of any future colonization effort in outside the orbit of our planet! These companies represent just a few of those actively researching ways to colonize other planets – a feat that may one day become a reality if we continue to advance technological advancements at our current rate!
Classic Science Fiction Books About Space Exploration
Let's finish with a few books on space exploration. With the opening of the new frontier of space exploration, more and more people are looking to the stars and dreaming of colonizing other planets. Science fiction has always been a genre that explores the possibilities of other worlds, and there are many great novels about colonizing space. Here are some classics.

Woman killed in car crash on Great Western Highway
A woman has died following a head-on collision with a truck in Central West, New South Wales.
Emergency crews were called to the scene on the Great Western Highway near Mount Lambie at around 7pm Wednesday night.
It is believed that the woman, who was driving a sedan, may have crossed onto the wrong side of the road.
The female driver was pronounced dead at the scene and the truck driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries in order to undergo mandatory tests.
Whale saves snorkeller from tiger shark
Stunning footage show the moment that a massive humpback whale pushed a snorkeller through the water to protect her from a nearby shark.
The pictures of Nan Hauser, 63, show how the massive sea creature pushed the whale biologist with his head and his mouth, then tucked her under its pectoral fin and even lifted her out of the water on one occasion.
However, lurking near the mammal and Hauser was a 15-foot tiger shark, as well as another whale that was moving its tail to ward off the shark.
The whale biologist told the Daily Mirror that she believes the moment in September reveals the whale's intuitive instinct to protect another species of animal.
As Hauser returned to the safety of the boat, in the waters off Muri Beach, Rarotonga, the Cook Islands, the whale even came back to check on her.

I've been a fan of the fig newton since I was a child. I would buy the Nabisco brand here and there growing up, but more recently, I've been getting them from the bulk section of Whole Foods. God they're good.
However, I've been spending a pretty penny on the Whole Food's version so I decided to just try and make them myself. They are a bit cheaper and although there is a two step process in which you have to let the dough sit overnight, they're really not that difficult to make. Plus, they're healthier.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a mixing bowl and set aside. In a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment), beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla, and orange zest and beat until combined. Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture until well blended. Scoop the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, shape into a disc, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Combine the figs and water in a medium saucepan. Bring the water to a boil, cover, and allow the water to boil until the figs have absorbed it. (you could also boil the water in a kettle, pour it over the figs and let the figs sit to absorb the water.) Transfer the figs to a food processor and pulse until the mixture is completely smooth.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place a large piece of parchment on your work surface and flour it liberally. Divide the chilled dough into 4 pieces, place one piece on the parchment, and return the other 3 to the refrigerator.
Shape the piece of dough into a rectangle, then roll the dough, stopping frequently to make sure it isn't sticking to the parchment, into a long rectangle (about 4 inches wide by 12 inches long).
Scoop the fig filling into a pastry bag or a plastic zip-top bag and cut one corner off. Pipe the filling in a 1-inch strip down the center of the dough rectangle. Fold one side of the dough over the filling, then the other. Press down on the seam to close it.
Using the parchment, flip the cookie roll over, seam-side down. Transfer it gingerly to a baking sheet and refrigerate while you repeat this step with the other 3 pieces of dough. Bake the logs of dough for about 16 minutes or until the dough is no longer tacky and has begun to brown around the edges.


Cat In A Boat No. 1 by Shirley Vauvelle features a delightful earthenware ceramic cat (like a wise old ginger tom, with lovely orange markings) and boat, both with a textured pattern, sitting on top of a solid, turned, piece of hardwood, akin to the foot of a piece of furniture or such like, an item which has been washed up on the beach and collected by Shirley.
The wooden plinth is washed with a lovely sun-on-the-shallows aquamarine colour and a beautifully detailed ceramic fish dangles temptingly in front of the cat, hanging from a piece of wire coming from the top of the driftwood.
This particular ceramic boat is painted with blues and greens, all the shades of the sea, on the outside, offset with a deep aquamarine glaze inside, bringing striking colour and character to a beautiful piece of Shirley Vauvelle art.

Strutta does not Supply any free service, and their strategies are quite pricey. The package of $249 $399 and $999 named Turnkey, Designer and Professional respectively. The number of sharing apps is limited to Facebook, Instagram, microsite, website, iframe, along with several other stations.
Struta Doesn't possess the website popups feature. The assortment of templates can also be less. No marketing automation or lead data analyzer, unlike Wishpond. Strutta lacks app integration that's disappointing. There's a lack of lead information analysis which can be used for turning leads to loyal customers. I believe with Strutta, I had to spend more time. On the contrary, Wishpond did save a lot of time.
Rafflecopter and Wishpond have many similar attributes. But, I think Wishpond beats Rafflecopter with its integrations. Though Rafflecopter provides Pinterest entry alternative and Facebook entry option, I'd still vouch for the multiple advertising apps from Wishpond. Wishpond offers marketing automation, which is also missing in Rafflecopter.
Rafflecopter, on The other hand, has a FREE plan that might entice users. But I am convinced those that are unwilling to compromise their advertising requirements, will go ahead and'buy' a plan which suits their requirements.
Aritic PinPoint is a complete Stack advertising automation tool with advanced automation features. Developed for SMBs mainly, Aritic PinPoint shares All of the features within Wishpond. However, Aritic PinPoint exhibits a much richer attribute list. For example, Wishpond provides international stats for all of the campaigns while Aritic PinPoint shows you region-wise or country-wise reports. The marketing automation package from Wishpond is also quite basic. With Aritic PinPoint, marketing automation forms the center. You get deep e mail segmentation based on lead behavior, events, stage where the lead/customer is presently in with respect to the buyers' travel, and demographics such as age, gender, linking date, etc.. Email campaigns are advanced due to this comprehensive segmentation.
Also, Aritic PinPoint operates on a multichannel strategy towards promotion. It's possible to join and nurture your leads via mails, SMS campaigns, drive notifications, landing pages, mobile notifications, and societal media integrations. Wishpond has just SMS, landing pages, and mails. This brings us to the pricing section. Since Aritic PinPoint is much more advanced than Wishpond and has a great deal of features, it's costlier. For an enterprise, Aritic PinPoint offers account-based advertising that's sprinkled in Wishpond.
I Was obviously lured towards Shortstack by just looking at the cost! Their services begin from zero and move on to $29 for your basic plan. The Enterprise program at $499 gives you access to all the features. Shortstack provides only over 30 pre-design themes unlike the countless choices from Wishpond. Another serious lapse is the lack of real time testing for customized layouts. Another point of difference is, with Shortstack the amount of consumers or group members can also be strictly restricted to one. In cases where multiple users are desired, a cost of about $29 per each month is achievable; unlike Wishpond which can provide multiple users with restricted access to data.

GLT's Grow is doing a three-part fall series on chocolate, tea, and coffee. Yum!
In Part 2 of a series on coffee, tea, and chocolate, GLT's Mike McCurdy talks with Illinois State University's Patrick Murphy about a beverage that, like coffee, is good hot or cold.
Most tea comes from a short, grassy-looking plant called camellia sinensis. The type of tea you get changes based on when you harvest the plant. White tea, for example, comes from buds that are picked very early on, right when they first emerge. It's also more expensive.
Your Lipton tea bag is generally going to be black tea. But not all black teas are created equal, according to Murph. It can vary based on how it's processed, the culture and manner in which it was grown, and its plant's geography (such as high elevation or from a river basin).
Camellia sinensis is grown year-round and worldwide. It's mostly found in tropical and subtropical regions. Commercial tea production is limited in the U.S. But you could grow it in central Illinois in a greenhouse or as a short-season crop.
On next week's episode: Chocolate!
