Egypt: No, the Revolution is Not Over
Posted 26 May 2012 13:16 GMT
This post is part of our special coverage of Egypt Elections 2011/2012.
On May 23 and 24, the eyes of the whole world were once again on Egypt as the country held its first presidential election after the huge popular uprising that brought down Hosni Mubarak a year and a half ago.
Around 660 candidates attempted to get approved (which led blogger Bassem Sabry to come up with a humorous list of those who were not running for presidency). The candidates included not only members of the Muslim Brotherhood and their Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), but also prominent members of the former regime (who are known as "felool" or "remnants").
There ended up being 23 official candidates, ten of whom eventually got disqualified. Thus, 13 candidates in total, ranging from the "revolution's candidate" Khaled Ali to Mohamed Morsi, FJP's "spare tyre", stood on May 23.
Egyptian presidential election in a nutshell. Cartoon by Carlos Latuff.
The final results are to be officially announced on May 29, but there was frenzied interest as polling stations were closing. Counting started immediately afterwards and results were released in real time on various TV channels and through several liveblogging outlets.
Reporting and counting
As during the parliamentary elections, widespread citizen monitoring of irregularities took place. Reports were constantly filed on various social networks. The claims of irregularities such as illicit campaigning were mainly attributed to supporters of FJP candidate Mohamed Morsi and former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik.
Interest on Twitter, under the hashtags #EgyPresElection, #EgyElections, #EgyPresElex, was so great that people were already discussing and arguing while only 2% of the votes had been counted.
This led to jokes about the frenzy and the sleepless hours to come:
@bassem_sabry: Breaking: Hosni Mubarak wins by 99.9% of the votes.
@vicosalama: @bassem_sabry aahh the good old days. no stress involved :-)
Twitter users @Iyad El-Baghdadi and @GalalAmrG set up a collaborative document to keep track of results. I helped curate the final results by gathering the numbers released by news outlets Ahram Online and Aswat Masriya.
As the results were coming in, Mohamed Morsi and Ahmed Shafik were showing up as the candidates most likely to take part in the runoff on June 16 and 17. Unexpectedly, the Nasserist Hamdeen Sabahi made a spectacular leap:
@HaniShukrallah: URGENT URGENT: Sabbahi leaps to second place!
No kidding! Free election in Egypt??? Cartoon by Carlos Latuff.
The high number of votes he received has been one of the biggest surprises in this election, especially as Alexandria (generally a Muslim Brotherhood stronghold) and the Imbaba district in northern Cairo (traditionally a Salafi stronghold) voted heavily for Sabahi. He later dropped back to third place, where he remains according to the final count.
However, many boycotted the election because they felt it was undemocratic and would simply strengthen the hold of the military on the country.
The fears of many were confirmed by a statement allegedly made by Ahmed Shafik's spokesperson that "the revolution is over".
The revolution isn't over
As the final counts were announced on the evening of May 25, reactions erupted on Twitter:
@MohAbdElHamid: If today proved one thing it would be that our predictions are bullshit. This revolution can't be predicted.
@DaliaEzzat_: Egyptians are forced to choose between two forms of fascism. For many, this won't be an easy decision. Huge consequences for both.
@Gsquare86: Organization is the key!! if we learned anything from Ikhwan [the Muslim Brotherhood] is that even if they are unpopular in the streets, their machine is working!
@shadihamid: The Brotherhood is always obsessed about preservation of the 'tanzim,' or organization. In that sense, it can already claim victory.
Many of the discussions were focused on a boycott of the runoff:
@glcarlstrom: Seems to me turnout will be even bigger factor in #egypt runoff – imagine there will be lots of unenthusiastic voters?
@RawahBadrawi: If there is ever a time to boycott, it's now. Voting for Morsi as a way of fulfulling the goals of the Revolution is an oxymoron.
Second round of Egypt election – any options? Cartoon by Carlos Latuff.
And although some have already decided to boycott the runoff vote as "unethical and shameful", others believe this will be a huge mistake as it would mean votes silently going to Morsi.
In addition, the question has been raised about how much of the Shafik vote was made up by voters from Egypt's Coptic Christian minority. Although the Coptic church did not officially endorse a candidate, many Copts are fearful of the possibility of a Muslim Brotherhood member becoming president. Some people believe that Christian votes have pushed Shafik to the top, an idea dismissed as "misleading" and countered in a number of comments [ar].
As Aboul Fotouh, former Muslim Brotherhood member and in fourth place, seems to have denied backing Morsi, suggestions have spread about the possible coalitions that will form. Many have called for the recently amended political rights law (the "anti-felool" law) to be implemented, and for Shafik to be barred from running:
@Amany90: All Egyptian lawyers must unite NOW to get Shafiq out using the isolation law or the corruption charges. Get to work
@mfatta7: Shafiq's presence on the candidate list is legally controversial and he can be well disqualified by a court ruling before the run off.
@mfatta7: The SCAF [military] holds the key to the constitutional court which holds the key to banning Shafiq from race.
Right now many are oscillating between shock and fear, contemplating their worst-case scenarios, but others have been calling for the country to move forward in the name of all those who gave their lives for the revolution. And no, despite the possible outcome of this election, the revolution is not over: percentages show that 75% of Egyptians voted against a Muslim Brotherhood president and 60% against the return of the old regime.

As they say here, Morsy is the first presidential candidate ever to run for presidency against his will, and people will vote for him in the run-off against their will.

IPRG has been developed as an interactive, self-learning system. The "IPRG Brandspider" analysis is based on individual, multi-lingual "Bad Word" catalogues where different parameters are taken into consideration - these include, among others, the absolute number of Badwords, the number of different Badwords, where the Badwords occur and the extent to which Badwords differ from Keywords.
Different parameters lead to an optimal evaluation of the results and, furthermore, to a categorization of the content in content cluster. Setting up individual "Bad Word" catalogues allows the systems to use them for various monitoring goals (e.g. legal- or marketing-orientated goals - in the short, medium or long term). The individual detection of individual "White Urls" leads to the filtering-out of unauthorized product offers and/or piracy of brands and products.
The final selection of the results can be influenced by three relevant pre-configured settings. Thanks to the "relevance feedback", the Brandspider analysis can learn after each IPRG search. In this way "Bad Word " catalogues become individually optimized and, when necessary, new settings for the evaluation parameters can be made.
The statement intervals can be individually specified, which allows a continuous monitoring of the required content categories. The statistics contain extensive reporting functions for the current search period and permits the long-term control of the "Brand in Use" status.

Q: Celery 4.x stops support for Windows I'm using Django, Celery, and Rabbit MQ on my project and developing everything under Windows 10 before until everything is not working with different error messages that i tried to fix with no luck. And found out that I'm not able to upgrade my Celery from 3.x to 4.x because
Celery 4.x stops support for Windows.
http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/faq.html#does-celery-support-windows
All my development has been in Windows and cannot afford to use other platform or machine for now.
I'm not asking on how to fix the project but on how to face this issue without letting go of Celery and still running it on Windows platform. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

A: You can run celery under windows just fine.  Just make sure to set the FORKED_BY_MULTIPROCESSING environment variable to 1

Papers are being drafted by the lawyer for someone who will ask the probate judge in the Estate case for the temporary guardianship. We do not know the identity of that person, however, we are told the Estate is drafting legal docs supporting the temporary guardianship. The executors feel responsible for protecting the kids … since the kids are the primary beneficiaries of their father's estate. As such, the executors will support a temporary guardian for the kids. We're told the person seeking the temporary guardianship is also filing legal docs claiming Katherine Jackson — who is currently the legal guardian of MJ's 3 kids — has been effectively kidnapped by Michael's siblings, and as a result they are without supervision.
Randy Jackson was rumored to have wanted the executors completely replaced so that he could get his hands on the estate. The likelihood of that happening is slim to none because even if they were somehow removed, the newly appointed executor would need to have a background in finance, something Randy does not have.
Do you think the legal wrangling is really about the safety of the kids or does it have more to do with the money? Why would they report Katherine as having been kidnapped? Maybe she is having health issues that are impairing her judgment. Let us know your thoughts about this weird story in the comments below.


Paulina Foote: missionary teacher in China; born 13 November 1891 to Heinrich Foote (4 December 1863, Volhynia - 2 June 1951) and Eva (Block) Foote (28 October 1865, Volhynia - 19 August 1903, Marion, Kansas, USA) in Marion, Kansas. She was the eldest living child in the family and had four younger siblings. Paulina never married, but she adopted a girl in China. She died on 8 January 1968 in Corn, Oklahoma.
Paulina was born in the town of Marion, Marion County, Kansas, just four days after her elder sister died. She had completed a large part of her elementary education before her mother died suddenly in an accident and Paulina had to take over the care of her younger siblings. Her father soon remarried, bringing four more children into the family. The family went to live in Corn, Oklahoma, where Paulina was baptized and joined the Mennonite Brethren Church in 1909. In 1910, she began a high school upgrading course at Tabor Academy.
At the end of her second year, Foote obtained work as a teacher to finance her further studies at Tabor College in Hillsboro, Kansas. She graduated with a degree in Biblical studies from Tabor College in 1922 before receiving a Bachelor of Arts from the college in 1925. Next, she studied at the Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City, Kansas, where she received a Bachelor of Theology degree in May 1932.
In 1910, Franz J. and Agnes Wiens moved to China to begin an independent Mennonite preaching and teaching mission in Shanghang. Soon, they opened a Bible institute, a boys' and a girls' school, and a medical mission. In 1922, three years after the Mennonite Brethren Church took over the project, Foote went to teach the children of a missionary couple. She was ordained on 12 August 1922 at the Mennonite Brethren church in Bessie, Oklahoma and left in October for China. For the next five years, she worked at the mission in Shanghang, also caring for one of three Chinese girls who had been adopted by missionaries at the station.
Over the next years, Paulina worked in teaching and preaching in various areas of China. The political situation caused many disruptions in her work, and in 1944, Paulina had to escape by cart to western China, where she worked with the West China Mennonite Brethren Mission. In 1945, she scheduled another furlough to the United States, hoping to return to China afterwards. In 1949, however, the Chinese government expelled all foreign missionaries and she was unable to return.
Meanwhile, Foote spent more than a year looking after her parents before starting on a series of church visits in various parts of Canada and the United States. Paulina developed arthritis in 1950 and was confined to a wheelchair by 1952. She went to live at the Corn Home for the Aged in Corn, Oklahoma, where she died in 1968.
Paulina Foote was a dedicated missionary whose work in China helped to establish the church in that country. Through all of the difficulties she experienced, Paulina trusted in God and committed herself to helping the people she encountered, both in China and in North America.

Ackordanalys är en form av musiknotation där ackordsymboler (till exempel Cmaj13+11) används för att beteckna harmonier. Dessa symboler kan sedan kombineras för att notera harmoniska förlopp. De vanligaste användningsområdena är inom jazz- och populärmusik. Ackordanalys skrivs ofta ut ovanför ett notsystem, exempelvis med sång- eller melodistämmor och även ovanför en sångtext. Ackordanalys kan ofta ersätta ackompanjemangsnoter för instrument såsom gitarr, bas och piano, och kan ge musikern större frihet än vad noter ger. Ackordanalys kan även ge vägledning vid jazzimprovisation, eftersom till varje ackord hör en eller flera modala skalor.

Uppbyggnad

Till skillnad från andra sätt att skriva ackord, som generalbas, steganalys och funktionsanalys, är ackordanalysens system oberoende av tonart och därmed också av ackordets harmoniska funktion. Ackordanalys utgår alltid från det enskilda ackordets grundton och om inget annat anges avses alltid en durtreklang med grundtonen i basen.

För att skriva ett mollackord lägger man till bokstaven m (alltid lilla m) eller ibland förkortningarna mi eller min (förkortningar av engelskans minor – moll) efter ackordbokstaven och eventuella # eller . Ett A-mollackord (innehåller tonerna a-c-e) skrivs alltså Am eller Amin medan ett Dess-mollackord (innehåller tonerna dess-fess-ass) skrivs Dm eller Dmin.

I jazzmusik, till exempel i jazz-standardsamlingen The Real Book, förekommer att moll istället betecknas med ett minustecken direkt efter ackordbokstaven och eventuella  eller , exempelvis A– eller D–. Det kan vara förvirrande för en ovan läsare, eftersom minustecknet annars används i ett annat syfte som beskrivs nedan.

Grundton
Ackordanalysen är en bokstavsnotation där bokstäverna C, D, E, F, G, A, B används för att ange ackordets grundton; dessa motsvarar stamtonerna c, d, e, f, g, a, b så att ackordet C har tonen c som grundton, ackordet D har grundtonen d och så vidare. Notera att under senare halvan av 1990-talet gick svenska notförlag över till att beteckna det ackord som tidigare skrivits H med B, dvs. man gick över från tysktalande länders tradition till anglosaxisk tradition. Många musiker säger emellertid fortfarande H. För referenser och mer detaljer om denna utveckling, se artikeln ton.

För att skriva ett ackord med en höjd ton som grundton (till exempel tonen ciss) sätts ett  (korsförtecken) ut efter ackordbokstaven (C, D, F, G, A o.s.v.). Ett ackord med en sänkt ton som grundton (till exempel tonen dess) skrivs på motsvarande sätt med ett  (b-förtecken) efter ackordbokstaven (D, E, G, A, B o.s.v.). Notera att ackordet B skrevs B i svenska notböcker fram till ungefär 1960-talet, och kallas Bess i läroböcker sedan 1990-talet.

Baston
Om en annan ton än grundtonen skall vara baston, till exempel tonen eiss som baston i ett Ciss-durackord, skrivs först grundackordet ut – i det här fallet C – sedan snedstreck (/) och sist den nya bastonen. Resultatet blir: C/E, Ciss med eiss i basen. Den här tekniken används även när ackordfrämmande toner skall ligga i basen (till exempel C/B). Detta är det enda tillfället då ackordanalysen använder tonnamn till någonting annat än att ange ackordets grundton.

Färgningar
För att skriva ackord med fler än tre toner (som inte har den extra tonen i basen) samt ackord med överstigande, förminskade eller förhållna ackordtoner används ett till största delen sifferbaserat system. Utgångspunkten är att en siffra efter ackordsymbolen, till exempel 6:an i Gm6, anger den tillagda, förändrade eller förhållna ackordtonens – färgningens – avstånd från grundtonen. Eftersom systemet är oberoende av både vilken tonart man befinner sig i och huruvida ackordet är i moll eller dur är det alltid lika långt mellan ett ackords grundton och den ton som siffran anger, i det här fallet (Gm6) en stor sext (se intervall). Siffrorna i ackordanalys anger alltid antal skalsteg från grundtonen i en mixolydisk skala (som utgår från ackordets grundton).  I ett ackord som Gm6 läggs alltså tonen e till, eftersom e ligger på sjätte skalsteget i en G-mixolydisk skala, om man börjar räkna med grundtonen g. De intervall (från ackordets grundton) som anges av siffror i ackordanalys listas här:

2 – stor sekund (Två halvtonssteg över grundtonen)
3 – stor ters (Fyra halvtonssteg)
4 – ren kvart (Fem halvtonssteg)
5 – ren kvint (Sju halvtonssteg)
6 – stor sext (Nio halvtonssteg)
7 – liten septima (Tio halvtonssteg)
9 – stor nona (ren oktav+stor sekund) (12+2 halvtonssteg)
10 – stor decima (ren oktav+stor ters) (12+4 halvtonssteg)
11 – ren undecima (ren oktav+ren kvart) (12+5 halvtonssteg)
13 – stor tredecima (ren oktav+stor sext) (12+9 halvtonssteg)

För att ange andra intervall än de som finns i den mixolydiska skalan, används med ett viktigt undantag tecknen + (plus) eller - (minus), alternativt  (korsförtecken) eller  (b-förtecken). Dessa sätts ut framför den siffra de skall modifiera. De som väljer att använda  eller  skriver ofta både siffror och förtecken inom parentes, detta för att exempelvis C(9) (innehåller tonerna c-e-g-bess-diss) inte skall sammanblandas med C9 (innehåller tonerna ciss-eiss-giss-b-diss). För att höja ett halvtonssteg används + eller #, medan tecknen – eller  används för att sänka ett halvt tonsteg. Ett G-ackord (innehåller tonerna g-b-d) färgat med tonen ess (en liten sext från grundtonen g) skrivs alltså G–6 eller G(6). De som använder minus för att ange moll undviker plus och minus för att ange höjningar och sänkningar, utan använder  och  till detta.

Undantaget är 7:an.  Ett G-ackord färgat med tonen f (en liten septima räknat från grundtonen g) skrivs G7, men ett G-ackord färgat med tonen fiss (en stor septima från grundtonen g) skrivs inte G+7 utan Gmaj7, G∆7, GMa7 eller GM7. Maj, Ma och M är förkortningar för engelskans major, som i det här sammanhanget betyder stor (som i stor septima). Att ett stort M ibland används som förkortning för major är anledningen till att m:et som anger moll skall vara litet.

Färgningar som inte alltid skrivs ut
Eftersom beteckningen maj/∆/M/Ma endast används för 7:an händer det ganska ofta att siffran inte skrivs ut, så att Gmaj7 blir Gmaj.

Då septiman nästan alltid ingår i ackord färgade med 9, 11 och 13 har en liknande konvention utvecklats där 7:an är underförstådd i ackord som C9, C11 och C13.  Av samma anledning behöver 9:an inte skrivas ut i ackord färgade med 11 och 13. Ett ackord som C13 innehåller alltså både 9:a och liten 7:a och skulle kunna skrivas C7 9 13. Notera att 11:an inte ingår i ett 13-ackord. Däremot måste fortfarande maj/Ma/∆/M skrivas ut om septiman skall vara stor istället för liten och om 9:an skall vara höjd (+9 eller 9) eller sänkt (–9 eller 9) skall detta anges.

Ackord med överstigande kvint skrivs ibland utan siffran 5, men endast om inga andra färgningar ingår i ackordet. Till exempel C+ istället för C+5 eller C(5), men aldrig C+9 istället för C9+5. Andra varianter som förekommer är Caug, samt Caug5 (alltså C+5).

Minustecken som beteckning för moll kan kombineras med färgningar. Exempelvis betyder C-7 således Cm7, och C-9 betyder Cm9.

Att lägga till och utesluta ackordtoner
Om ett ackord enbart skall färgas med exempelvis en 9:a eller 11:a, utan att 7:an eller (i fallet 11) 9:an skall ingå, skrivs ordet add (engelska för lägg till) innan siffran. Ett C-ackord färgat med 7:a, 9:a och 11:a skrivs C11 medan ett C-ackord färgat med endast 11:an skrivs Cadd11. Add används också för att lägga till toner som vanligtvis inte ingår i ett ackord. I ackord färgade med 13 är 7:an och 9:an men inte 11:an underförstådda, om ett C-ackord skall färgas med 7:a, 9:a, 13 och 11 skrivs det C13add11.

För att utesluta en ton som vanligtvis finns med i ett ackord skrivs no före siffran, som i det här fallet anger vilket skalsteg som skall uteslutas. Till exempel innebär Fno3 ett F-ackord där tersen uteslutits (det kommer alltså endast bestå av tonerna f och c), ett sådant ackord skrivs ibland också F5.

Exempelvis är Cadd9no3 en treklang som innehåller samma toner som Csus2, det vill säga tonerna c (grundton), d (nona eller sekund) och g (kvint). Add innebär att 7:an (b) inte inkluderas, och no3 att tersen (e) uteslutits.

Förhållningar
Ackord med kvart- eller sekundförhållningar, det vill säga ackord där tersen (i C-durackord med tonerna c-e-g är tersen tonen e) har ersatts av antingen den rena kvarten (tonen f  ersätter tonen e) eller den stora sekunden (tonen d ersätter tonen e), skrivs med prefixet sus. (förkortning av engelskans sustained – förhållen) innan den siffra som anger vilken ton som skall förhållas (2 eller 4). Detta skrivs efter eventuella färgningar. Ett C-ackord med kvartförhållning (c-f-g) skrivs Csus4, ett C7 med samma förhållning skrivs C7sus4. När det står endast sus efter en ackordbokstav avses alltid sus4.

Dimackord
Ett undantag från siffersystemet är så kallade dimackord, från engelskans diminished – förminskad.

Ett dim7-ackord är en fyrklang som även kallas helförminskat septimackord. Exempelvis är Cdim7 ett C7-ackord där alla toner utom grundtonen har sänkts ett halvtonssteg. Det består således av tonerna c, ess, gess och a. Ackordet hade i teorin kunnat skrivas Cm6–5, men betecknas C°7 eller Cdim7.

Notera att avståndet är en liten ters, dvs. tre halvtonssteg, mellan varje ton i denna fyrklang. Denna symmetri gör att det bara finns tre dim7-ackord, men med olika grundtoner. C°7 består nämligen av samma toner som E°7, G°7 och A°7, men med grundtonen C. På samma sätt består ackorden C°7, E°7, G°7 och A°7 av samma toner, men har olika grundton. Slutligen är D°7, F°7, G°7 och B°7 samma ackord, men med olika grundton.

I vissa böcker, bland annat flertalet vis- och popnotböcker, kallas ovanstående fyrklang för dimackord, och betecknas Cdim eller C°. I andra böcker skiljer man mellan dim7-ackord och dim-ackord, där det senare är en dimtreklang - en förminskad durtreklang. C° eller Cdim betecknar i detta sammanhang ett förminskat C-durackord, där alla toner utom grundtonen sänkts en halvtonssteg, och består således av tonerna c, ess, och gess. I andra sammanhang betecknas denna treklang Cm-5 eller Cm5.

I ett halvförminskat septimackord, som betecknas CØ7 eller Cm75, är alla toner utom grundtonen och septiman sänkta ett halvtonssteg. I fallet CØ7 blir således tonerna c, ess, gess och bess.

Räknat från bastonen består dim-treklangen av: grundton, liten ters, förminskad kvint. En dim7-fyrklang innehåller dessutom en stor sext (detta intervall kallas ibland även förminskad septima). Ett halvförminskat septimackord (Ø7) innehåller istället en liten septima.

Notera att ackordet C7-9 eller C79 kan betraktas som ett D°7/C, dvs. som en dimfyrklang bestående av tonerna D, E, G och B, men med basen C.

Harmonianalys

Det finns ett antal olika system för att analysera och beteckna ackord. Av dessa är följande mer orienterade mot notation och praktiskt musicerande i en specifik tonart:
 Ackordbeteckningar enligt ovan, exempelvis Am för en molltreklang med grundton A
 Generalbas, som med siffror beskriver ackordtonerna relativt en noterad baston. Exempelvis betecknas Am med bastonen A i notskrift, och under den siffrorna 3 och 5 ovanför varandra (tonartens tredje och femte ton om A räknas som nummer 1).

Följande används mest som analysverktyg för att beskriva ackordets roll i en ackordföljd oavsett tonart, och underlättar transponering till andra tonarter:
 Steganalys, där ackord betecknas med romerska siffror, exempelvis III (tre) för ackord nummer tre i tonarten, exempelvis Am i tonarten F-dur.
 Funktionsanalys, exempelvis ett litet d (dominantparallell) för Am i tonarten F-dur.

Rytm

Ackordanalys i sig har inget system för att ange rytmer. Ackordsymbolerna skrivs ofta över en sångtext eller ett notsystem för att ange den ungefärliga rytmen. I de fall då inget annat än ackordanalys finns nedtecknat sätts ofta taktstreck ut mellan ackordsymbolerna, så att den som skall spela efter ackordanalysen vet hur många ackord som skall spelas under en takt.

Det förekommer också att ackordens rytmer anges med trumnoter. De liknar vanliga noter men skrivs på en enda linje, har kryss istället för fyllda noter och romber (diamanter) istället för ofyllda. Skaft, punkteringar och bindebågar anges som vanligt.

Comments Off on Four Tips To Fix Your Financial Problems.
If you're spending your days sitting at office pondering how on earth you're going to get that diamond ring for your girlfriend or buy that dream house your wife keeps insisting on, with your credit problems bombarding you like the unattended pile of work mails that's gathering with each day, then trust me you're not alone. We're all facing the uncontroversial dilemma of being trapped in a broke life with a job that covers half the expenses of a month and bank savings barely enough live let alone get that dream car or home. So what are five tips to fix your financial problems?
Yeah you've got a budget written neatly on that designer notebook you extravagantly spent on, but the last time you looked at it was the time you actually wrote on it. We take budgeting so easily but don't realize that the problems kick in only when we don't seem to stick to it. So start creating a budget based on real numbers, from payments to food delivery and finance brokers, work out the expenses you can put a stop to and reduce and make sure to adhere to it. Track your progress and check your transactions every day even if it means some time away from social media.
Be More Aware Of Your Spending Habits.
Think about it. Do you really need the newest version of the same phone you're having just for a few extra features and a price that's enough to make a homeless person rich? Sometimes we tend to believe we need something when can actually live without it. It's the mind-set. And it won't hurt to change it. That mortgage broker Buderim won't give you the loan if they know you're facing a financial crisis and don't pay Bills on time. So put a pause button to your extravagant spending habits and buy what only what you think is vitally necessary.
Be it the student loan you're not utilising effectively and partying instead of paying for extra tuition or the homeloan you took to buy your first new house, debt will keep chasing you in every point in your life. But the way you manage it is the key to live a stress free life. Find extra ways to pay them off as quickly as possible. Try selling things you don't need and squeeze in a part time job if you haven't already. And remember you can't keep getting into debt every month if you want to get rid of it faster, so resort to using cash rather than credit card whenever possible. Small changes can make a huge impact.
The final thing you could do to beat the stress that's beating you up is to consciously recognise that you're in a bad financial situation. I know what you're thinking. That will only make you drown in a pool of misery and stress you even more. Nope you're wrong. When you realize you're in a bad position you'll try to handle it more carefully. So start reading books on how to manage money, switch to blogs about life skills and money management rather than expensive restaurants and entertainment.

Real estate market is ever-expanding as land prices are increasing with developing infrastructure and urbanization. It may seem like a market that gives you a larger profit at once, however entering into the market is not easy. It has its entry and exit barriers, where you need to have strong capital capacity and also sound knowledge of the current market situation. If you are interested in investing in real estate, here are some important factors to consider.
The most important factor is 'where' the property is situated. If for residential purposes, proximity to work cities, availability of infrastructure facilities and amenities, peace and safety of areas, status of neighbourhood, scenic view etc. are some common factors to look into. For commercial buildings, proximity to customers, warehouses, market opportunities, freeways, tax-exempt areas etc. are important. The timing of your purchase and the immediate future needs to be scrutinized carefully. You might see a lonely left-over property that seems too remote from the city, however there could be government projects taken up to develop that area in the next 5 years. So if you let go of the property, you are up for a big loss and your financial advisor Cremorne will not be happy with your decision. Hence, having all market info and forecasting as needed is vital.
All expenses you incur will depend on how much the property is actually worth. You need to ensure that you are buying a property at the right price, not a higher price an agent recommended with the intention of misleading you. You will need this valuation when obtaining finance for the investment, so talk to your financial planner on low cost methods. Moreover, the valuation will be used to determine listing price during sale, insurance premium, taxation amount etc. Some commonly used valuation methods are sales comparison approach where other similar property sales prices are compared, cost approach where all related costs minus depreciation are taken and finally income approach where the expected cash flows are looked at.
Considering the challenges in selling real estate freely, you need to be very clear on why you are purchasing a land. If you are planning on self-utilization and long-term use, then buying a property with less second hand value is fine since you are not planning on selling any sooner. If not, you need to find areas where land values increase faster than other areas so you can sell them off at higher margins. If you will buy and lease it out, you need to be prepared with handling tenants, legalities, repair work etc.

The New Craziness – Is It Right?
Life is an inescapable one way road in which starts in being conceived and ends in death. In between this ride we will have our ups and downs. Your ups could have made people admire you and your downs could lead to humiliation and degradation. When we live on this earth, it is our own choices and decisions that will be at question when we fail or success. Now, the success in life is noted and is measured in the terms of your successful investments, your properties, and similar things whose backbone will be money. You will be judged for the money you have. You reputation, the level to which your own status is seen; you powers and the name in the society, everything is bright by money.
People need money, to just survive on this planet. People have evolved into being too selfish beings on earth. At first they wanted just their race to survive than the other animals, birds and living beings. But later as science started to develop concerns about environment were studied. That helped people to understand that if they are being selfish and creating downfall of those living creatures, we are also going down.
At last, humans started attacking human beings. They started finding different ways to attack and loot them. Wars, battles and thefts are not a new information to people. People have started finding new jobs like accountants, financial advisor Parramatta, Insurance officers and employees in software companies.
Apart from these, there are jobs in media like actor, actress, directors, public resource team of a famous personality or just a person, assistant or help of these famous people. Though these jobs are insignificant to people with normal life making a living to make the ends meet.
So in the mist of these people, in hunger of power and making more money, they have started offering services like pension schemes, life insurance, health insurance and mortgage services. The pension schemes, life insurance policy and health policy are things that can be used by the person who is paying for those but mortgage services is a kind of different service. It is the type of service in which an amount of money or an item will be given or purchased from a loan shark or someone who gives money. People who get money from them should repay the money with an amount of interest. If the money is not paid back in given time. They will take away the object for which money was received or they will forced to remove the object which was the security of the loan.
This kind of service had wrecked so many people life and only a lucky few people was able to live a good life. Loans of any kind kills peace. If they have a good person who would give them right financial advises and choices will never end being broke.
With time we invest in so many things like properties, financial services, vehicles, mutual funds and in cash. There are also other investments we can do. But do you think every investment is appropriate to do? Before you get carried away it's important that you take a look and consider on the many options and other ideas as well. So, we came up with some things you need to consider before you make up your mind. Take a look!
For an example, before you buy a house you need to first sit down and draw your financial plan. If you have done that before then this is your chance to do so. Without doing it, it's hard for you to make a clear cut decision. Whether you are investing in properties, lands or even vehicles you need to be in a position to afford it. Knowing how stable you are will help you in your long term decisions as well. By this you can get an idea on how to tolerate the risks and problems after the investments and whether you really need to do it.
Many of try and focus on just one way of investing but don't forget that investments have a long history and some of those old ways are cash, stocks and bonds. The drawback in just choosing one method is you will reduce the risk of losing money. This can highly affect the smooth ride of your investment portfolio as well. Whether you are investing in Muslim investments in Australia or you are getting help from other financial services, make sure you go for a combination. True, that often markets contribute one asset to grow while the other goes through poor growth. But when you do it in mix, even if one's returns go down you won't feel totally lost; there's still one more in the lead.
You need to save money for different reasons; to pay children's fees, for travelling, sudden unemployment, accidents, medical treatments and for much more treatments. When your fund turns into emergencies you are already covered with the money that you invested. Some even save money in fear of unemployment; this is not an unwanted fear. Due to natural disasters, bankrupt and other reasons there are chances when you can lose your job for at least few months. So, it's always best to create funds so you are covered. This will also reduce the chances of you going for debts and loans.
Some of us are born with the desire to improve our home and garden and spend hours each week tinkering and doing repair and maintenance jobs around our homes and this comes naturally to us thankfully. There are others of us though who need to consciously think about how we can improve our home and garden. Watching all those "Home Improvement" TV shows don't do much to us other than entertaining us for a short time and inspiring us, but how do we get going?
One thing that stops us perhaps from renovating that kitchen or washroom is our low budget. Don't forget to consider getting a tax depreciation Sydney schedule done as you could try including some of the renovations in there. If budget is an issue, then perhaps focus on the little things you can do yourself in the home and garden till you can get enough funds for the major renovation or expansion project. But if the budget is not a problem, then just get started on one little project at a time.
Start with the small repairs like that window hinge that needs fixing or that mirror in the bathroom that needs replacing. If you are not good with your hands or you are no longer able to manage the repairs yourself, approach a friendly neighbour or someone who will be satisfied with earning a few extra bucks on the side. Although not exciting, these little repairs and maintenance can make life much easier for you and help you to live more comfortably, so why not get them fixed?
You may really want to renovate your kitchen and replace that old oven that is beginning to make strange noises. Find someone who is willing to do the job for you within your budget or if you are an all rounder, you can start by painting the walls and fixing the broken cupboards and the new oven you are fixing can also possibly be included in your tax depreciation schedule Brisbane next year, so don't worry too much about the high cost of getting it done. It will make cooking a joy for you and that roast chicken will get done nicely in your new oven in double quick time!
The thing with improving our home is that there is a temptation to procrastinate as we don't have our boss breathing down our neck or our mother ordering us to pick up our socks! But when we put off small things we have to do, often they can become major repairs, so why not decide you are going to start today and get to work on mowing that front lawn or clearing your backyard? Once you feel great about doing something you've been wanting to do for a long time, you will want to keep going and there is no stopping you!

DO I TRUST YOU? NOT REALLY.
No offense but I don't trust you.
It is just one of those things that I don't distrust you but I don't fully trust everybody. Right now at KOOL 1039 my car is locked, I lock up my home and even carry my wallet in a front pocket, it is harder to be a victim of a pickpocket than if I had my wallet in the back pocket. Something that I learned when I was a teenager …… the hard way!
Oliva Solon wrote about it in the Guardian. She wrote the feature lets users track other people's location in real time, rising concerns among safety and privacy advocates. YA THINK?
Snap product designer Jack Brody told Refinery 29. "There's something really powerful about seeing the diversity but also the similarity of snaps around the world". Whatever the heck that means. He add Snapchaters can choose exactly who they want to share their location with, if at all (That would be me) and can change that setting at any time.
Now that is something that SnapChat did right. Larry Magis, the CEO of Connectsafely.org said parents would sit down with their kids and get them to really consider which friends they are sharing with. I would add to that to warn them, don't add anyone you just met.
I do use Facebook, I am a novice on Twitter but I do have a rule. If I am out of town I never let my "Friends" know about it until I am home. Why? I don't want a friend to think about an opportunity that they would not normally do. When I am home then I will share to let friends and family see that I am living and had a great time.
I enjoy social media for the most part but as with everything in this world it has an evil side! That is a side I don't like at all. I would just say be cautious and enjoy life, but for me I have my eye on you. I might Love you I might like you. But that doesn't mean I fully trust you.
And Happy NATIONAL DEEP DISH PIZZA DAY!


Donald Trump Jr. blasted Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) at a boisterous rally in his home state on Friday, calling him a "piece of garbage" for sinking Navy Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson's nomination to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) earlier this year.
Trump Jr., who headlined a rally for Tester's GOP Senate rival Matt Rosendale and Rep. Greg Gianforte (R), slammed Tester over Jackson's failed VA nomination, saying the Democratic senator had "ruined this guy's life" after a bitter confirmation process.
President Trump's eldest son accused Tester, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, of putting out "all sorts of baseless accusations" on the orders of Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.).
Trump Jr. argued that no proof of the allegations against Jackson has surfaced publicly since his nomination failed in April, adding Tester has yet to pay a political price for taking down the nominee.
"Where's the accountability to Jon Tester who did that? Because that makes you a piece of garbage in my mind, and it should to all of you and anyone I know in this state," Trump Jr. said.
"You have the chance to unseat someone who plays the game, he pretends he's one thing and he does the opposite," he added, noting that Tester was found to be the top recipient of campaign contributions from lobbyists in Congress for a time.
Jackson's nomination was torpedoed after former members of the White House medical staff came forward anonymously with a variety of serious allegations, which Tester made public in embarrassing detail.
During an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, Tester said "the word is" that on overseas trips Jackson would freely hand out drugs such as Ambien and Provigil, which help people fall asleep and wake up.
"In fact in the White House they call him the candy man," Tester added.
Jackson eventually withdrew his nomination, but the White House is still looking for revenge over the episode.
The president made a similar attack against Tester when he hosted a rally for Rosendale last week.
Tester also said on CNN that Jackson was allegedly drunk while on duty on overseas trip with then-President Obama.
Tester said that there "were comments" about Jackson being so drunk that he wasn't able to respond to people who asked him to do things.
He also raised anonymous allegations that Jackson kissed up and kicked down.
"We were told time and time again that people above him he treated like gold and people below him he belittled," he said.
The Pentagon's Office of Inspector General opened an investigation into the allegations in June.
"Where's the proof?" he asked.
A Russian oligarch who was questioned by special counsel Robert Mueller and recently sanctioned by the US visited President Donald Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen in Trump Tower during the presidential transition in January 2017, according to video reviewed by CNN and a person familiar with the matter.
The January 9, 2017, Trump Tower appearance by Viktor Vekselberg, which was also reported Friday by The New York Times, adds to the questions swirling over the payments to Cohen, which Mueller's team questioned Vekselberg about after the FBI stopped his private jet at a New York-area airport earlier this year.
Vekselberg, chairman of Russian asset manager Renova Group, was accompanied at Trump Tower by Andrew Intrater, who is Vekselberg's cousin and head of Columbus Nova. Vekselberg is Columbus Nova's biggest client.
A person familiar with the meeting told CNN that Vekselberg and Intrater met with Cohen and discussed improving US-Russia relations. The meeting was brief, the person said, and Vekselberg was not originally expected to attend.
An attorney for Cohen did not respond immediately to a request for comment. A representative for Vekselberg also did not respond immediately to a request for comment.
Intrater's firm, Columbus Nova, paid $580,000 to Cohen for a consulting contract starting in January 2017.
Since the payments have become public, Columbus Nova has attempted to distance itself from Vekselberg, denying Vekselberg used Columbus Nova as a conduit to pay Cohen. Columbus Nova recently removed references to Renova Group from the biography of its partners. It has stated it's a "management company solely owned and controlled by Americans," and that it hired Cohen after Trump's inauguration.
But the newly discovered video indicates that Vekselberg and Intrater were meeting with Cohen before that, and they were just steps away from the President-elect during the transition.
Vekselberg was questioned by FBI agents working with Mueller earlier this year about the Columbus Nova payments to Cohen, as well as more than $300,000 in donations made by Intrater to Trump's inauguration and the Republican National Committee, sources said.
The questions asked of Vekselberg suggest that Mueller's team has been examining some of Cohen's business relationships as part of the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
Cohen's home and office were raided last month as part of a criminal investigation by federal prosecutors in Manhattan. In court documents, the prosecutors said at least part of their inquiry stemmed from a referral from Mueller's office.
The US Treasury Department placed Renova Group and Vekselberg on the list of sanctioned individuals and entities last month, for activities including election interference. The sanctions prohibit Vekselberg from traveling to the US.
Many members of the Trump administration had worked for Vekselberg.
Makan Delrahim and David Bernhardt were registered lobbyists for Access Industries, which has direct ties to Vekselberg.
And Wilbur Ross, who served as vice-chairman of the Bank of Cyprus, where Vekselberg and many other friends of Putin "invested" (laundered) their money.
Donald Trump Jr. met with an Israeli social media expert who pitched a multimillion dollar campaign to help his father win the 2016 presidential election just months before the vote, The New York Times reports. Blackwater founder Erik Prince reportedly arranged the August 2016 meeting, which was also attended by George Nader, an adviser to the United Arab Emirates who is cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller's team in the Russia probe. Nader is said to have informed Trump Jr. that the crown princes in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates wanted to offer as much support as they could to help the older Trump win.
The social media expert, Joel Zamel, reportedly attended the meeting at Trump Tower on behalf of a company that specializes in online manipulation and had already drawn up a massive campaign to elect Trump that involved using thousands of fake social media accounts. The company, Psy-Group, whose motto is "Shape Reality," reportedly went so far as to consult an American law firm about the legality of its proposal. The meeting has come under scrutiny by special counsel Robert Mueller's team, with investigators now trying to determine whether these offers were connected to Russia in any way.
A Texas hedge fund manager with business ties to Donald Trump Jr. was able to meet with top national security officials in the last year to pitch a plan that would help U.S. companies in Venezuela, The Associated Press reported Monday.
The news outlet obtained court records and documents that show Trump Jr. has been in business with Gentry Beach dating back to the mid-2000s, and that the two recently formed a company.
Beach and an Iraqi-American businessman met last year with National Security Council officials and pitched a proposal to curb sanctions in Venezuela and open up business for U.S. companies there, the AP reported.
An official told the news outlet that officials didn't act on the pitch, but were told to take the meeting because of Beach's ties to Trump Jr.
Beach told the AP in a statement that he never used his relationship with Trump Jr. to try and influence the government.
The Trump administration has drawn scrutiny from watchdog groups since President Trump took office over concerns that the president has not adequately separated himself from his family's business affairs.
Trump turned over the Trump Organization to his two adult sons, Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, when he took office. Multiple watchdog groups have filed complaints that the business is using the presidency to enrich itself.
Levin, whose Sunday Fox News show debuted last week, argued on his radio show that Trump is facing a degree of criticism from the press that was not seen by his predecessors, Presidents Obama and Clinton.
The president is spending the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. After a visit to the golf course, Trump is expected to speak at a Trump Victory reception, a joint fundraiser for his reelection campaign and the RNC.
Tickets to the event are reportedly set at $2,700, while a reception and a pair of seats at a dinner with Trump will run you $25,000.
Donald Trump Junior will be arriving in India this week to sell condominiums for the Trump Organisation, with a sideline event of a foreign policy speech on behalf of his father, the US President.
India is the country with the most Trump business entities registered outside the United States, and one of its developments in the country is being constructed by a company belonging to a member of the ruling party.
Richard Painter, a former White House ethicist under George W Bush, says the ethics of the situation are so problematic the the US Congress should intervene.

Stony Creek Farm one of TimeOut NY's "Best Foodie Vacations"!!
Hey everyone. We got some great press this month in TimeOut New York.Here's a screen shot of the website and the link to their "Best Foodie Vacations" article. And, of course, you can find it in print on the news stand now!


Local peaches are in season and blend beautifully with blueberries in this delicious smoothie!
I love to see how excited people get when they buy their first high-quality blender. Most of them immediately get hooked on smoothies and start blending up every imaginable fruit and vegetable. We bought our first good blender at least 15 years ago. It was a Vitamix. We feel so strongly about how it has contributed to our health that we have bought one for each of our children.
Juicing is great. This process allows you to consume far more fruits and vegetables than you could ever get by eating and chewing. Juices deliver critical nutrients and phytochemicals to your body in their purest form. Consuming nutrients in the form of juice can be very important therapeutically, especially when your body is in a weakened state, needs to conserve energy, and assimilate nutrients instantly.
Juices also deliver an enormous amount of sugar without the benefit of dietary fiber, which is stripped out in the juicing process. Blending, on the other hand, retains the dietary fiber and requires fewer (but ample) fruits and veggies to make a nice thick 8 ounce smoothie.
Whereas juice can cause a spike in blood sugar, dietary fiber can stabilize it. Fiber also makes you feel full longer, protects against colorectal cancer, and reduces the risk of coronary heart disease. Although juicing may help you get your 5 to 9 fruits and vegetables per day, it will not help you get to your 25 to 35 gram recommended daily fiber intake.
One large apple provides more than 5 grams of dietary fiber, which is great. However, it also contains the equivalent of nearly 6 teaspoons of sugar. You might throw one or two into a smoothie where the fiber would help prevent your blood sugar from spiking. But you might use far more than one or two apples to make a glass of apple juice and it will have zero fiber to protect your blood sugar from spiking.
Carrots are another good example. I generally throw one large carrot in a smoothie but to make juice, I might use 10. A large carrot provides 2 grams of dietary fiber and the equivalent of almost 1 teaspoon of sugar. And one carrot is all you need to get 241% of your daily requirement of vitamin A. But juicing 10 carrots strips out all of the fiber and delivers 8.5 teaspoons of sugar.
I'm not suggesting that you give up your juicer, I'm just suggesting that you may want to juice in moderation and lean towards making more smoothies. And whether you are juicing or making smoothies, use fewer fruits and always try to include low carbohydrate green vegetables like spinach or kale. When making smoothies, you can also throw in a handful of nuts or seeds to provide some protein and healthy fat.
A good blender is expensive costing around $400. But they last for years and years and if used for healthy smoothies, raw or cooked soups, dips, sauces and other healthy dishes (and not just for margaritas) they are a great investment in your health. I have lots of kitchen toys but if I could only have one, it would be my high-speed Vitamix blender.
I prefer this model of Vitamix because it has a variable speed dial.
Blendtec is also a very highly recommended brand.
These fruits really complement each other and although the deep purple blueberries hide the color of the peaches in this delicious smoothie, they certainly don't mask their wonderful peachy flavor. This smoothie is low in calories, provides over 800 mg of omega-3 fatty acid and a whopping 8 grams of dietary fiber per serving!
Place the almond milk and ground chia seeds in the blender, pulse briefly and set aside while preparing the other ingredients.
Place the remaining ingredients in the blender and process until smooth. Serve immediately.

FDA Warns Of Health Risks With Healthy Life Chemistry By Purity First B-50 - Dangerous Ingredients Not Listed On Label!
When you purchase vitamins, you may not always get what you think. Occasionally vitamins contain a different potency than advertised. Sometimes they contain harmful contaminants like lead or other toxic chemicals introduced in the manufacturing process. Yesterday the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned consumers about a vitamin that contains steroids.
The FDA advised consumers not to purchase or use Healthy LIfe Chemistry By Purity First B-50. Although it is marketed as a vitamin B supplement, it was found to contain two anabolic steroids that could potentially be harmful. The first is methasterone, a controlled substance, and the other is dimethazine. These steroids were not listed as ingredients on the label.
If you have experienced any of these symptoms from taking this dietary supplement, the FDA advises that you see a health care professional and report your experience to the FDA. To do that, complete and submit the report online. Or call 1-800-332-1088.
shown with broccoli, radishes and purple bell peppers.
At the end of the day, Doug and I enjoy sitting on the back deck that overlooks Turtle Vines, our organic Pinot noir vineyard. Right now the grapes are starting to turn purple and harvest is only six weeks away. While we sit and count the humming birds, we like to enjoy a little glass of wine and have an appetizer. This one was so yummy and hearty, it pretty much turned into our dinner!
Being allergic to cheese, I love anything that's creamy yet dairy-free. This one fits the bill. Raw Cashews provide a creamy base for this easy-to-make red pepper dip. Garlic, lemon, basil and red pepper provide the delicious flavor. With just a handful of simple ingredients and a good blender, this appetizer will please anyone - even those who are gluten free!
Everyone has heard that eating broccoli is good for you. It's a cruciferous vegetable and contains phytochemicals that helps the body fight cancer cells and prevent tumor growth. Broccoli contains the enzyme myrosinase that helps convert these phytochemicals into their most potent, cancer-fighting forms. Unfortunately, this enzyme is destroyed by heat. So the best way to take advantage of these health benefits is to eat raw broccoli.
Don't Like Raw Broccoli? Dip it in This!
I don't really enjoy raw broccoli as much as I like it steamed. But for some reason, I totally love raw broccoli when it's coated in this yummy dip! So if you want to get the most health benefits out of broccoli, radishes, cauliflower, daikon, and other cruciferous veggies, try dipping them in this creamy appetizer.
Bell peppers are another vegetable (they are actually a fruit) that are best eaten raw. They are an excellent source of vitamin C but this critical vitamin is extremely heat sensitive. That's why I use raw red bell pepper (and not roasted red bell pepper) in this recipe.
Eat red peppers raw to get the most vitamin C.
Allow 6 hours for soaking cashews.
Soak the cashews for 6 hours. Rinse well and place in a high-speed blender with bell pepper, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Process until smooth. Add about a tablespoon of water, if needed, to achieve the desired consistency.
Remove the mixture from the blender and place in a bowl. Stir in the basil and adjust the salt and pepper if needed.
Serve with sliced raw veggies - broccoli spears, radishes, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, etc.
Per serving (dip only): 170 calories, 12 g total fat, 2 g saturated fat, 29 g omega-3 and 2,198 g omega-6 fatty acid, 0 mg cholesterol, 6 g protein, 13 g carbohydrates, 2 g dietary fiber, and 439 mg sodium.

Organic Peach Jam - only 13 calories per tablespoon!
I no longer have a peach tree but luckily the roadside stands and farmers' markets are loaded with fresh, ripe peaches. They have found their way into my smoothies, raw breakfast salads, raw crisps, cooked crisps, and salads. But looking ahead to when they will no longer be available, I need to make some delicious jam.
It's Fruit Jam, Not Candy!
As my longtime blog followers know, I'm a big fan of Pomona's Universal Pectin because it allows me to make jam with little or no sugar. Most pectin products require tons of sugar in order to activate the jelling process resulting in jam tasting more like candy than a fruit spread. But Pomona's Universal Pectin is extracted from citrus peel and is activated by calcium, NOT sugar. The result is that you can make jam or jelly with a little sugar, no sugar, concentrated apple or grape juice, agave nectar, honey, or no calorie sweeteners like stevia. I love this product so much that I have dedicated an entire chapter in my ebook, Health Begins in the KItchen: Delicious and Easy Vegan Recipes and Seasonal Food Plan, to making jam with Pomona's Universal Pectin. You can buy this pectin product at your local health food store or, if they don't have it, you can purchase it online from Pomona's website or Amazon.
Each box comes with calcium powder and pectin.
For low sugar jam, I generally use 1 1/2 cups of sugar for every 4 cups of mashed fruit. To cut the sugar down even further in this recipe, I use only 1 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of stevia powder (or the equivalent of 1/2 cup of sugar). The resulting jam is only 13 calories per tablespoon!
Please note, this recipe is for sugar plus stevia. Or, you can omit the stevia and use 1 or 1 1/2 cups of sugar. But do not omit the sugar as It is an entirely different process to make jam with only stevia. The technique for making sugar-free jam with stevia is mentioned in the directions that come with each box of Pomona's Universal Pectin. I also give detailed instructions and several example recipes for stevia-sweetened jam in my book.
Make the calcium water by mixing the white calcium powder and the water in a small jar with a lid. Set aside.
Make the jam: Wash the jars in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and let them stand in hot water.
Wash the lids and bands in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and place in a pot of simmering water, simmering for at least 10 minutes. Remove as needed.
Fill a large canning pot with water and bring to a boil.
Mix the sugar, stevia and pectin powder in a small bowl. Set aside.
Sugar, stevia, and pectin powder.
Prepare the peaches. Score each peach with a little X.
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Drop in the peaches, a few at a time, for 30 seconds to a minute. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them in a colander. When cool enough to touch, remove the skin from the peaches. Place the skinned peaches on a cutting board.
Place peaches briefly in boiling water.
Cut the peaches in half, remove pits, and then dice. Place diced peaches in a bowl and mash with a potato masher.
Measure 8 cups of mashed peaches and put them in a pot with the lemon or lime juice.
Bring the peach mixture to a boil. Add the pectin-sugar-stevia mixture to the pot and stir vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes until the pectin mixture dissolves. Return to a boil and then turn off the heat.
Immediately fill each jar with jam to 1/4 inch from the top. Wipe the jar rims clean, screw on the 2-piece lids and submerge filled jars in the canning pot of boiling water to cover.
Cover and boil for 10 minutes. If you are above sea level, add 1 minute more for every 1,000 feet above sea level.
Always use a jar lifter when placing jars in or removing jars from the canning pot full of boiling water.
Remove the jars from the water using a jar lifter and place upright on a rack or towel spaced several inches apart from each other. As they cool, the seals and lids will be sucked down. Let the popping begin!
You'll hear the lids pop as the jam cools.
Label with the contents and the date. Store in a cool pantry. Once opened, the jam lasts about 3 weeks.

Rainier Cherries Are In Season- No Recipe Required!
Enjoy these sweet Rainier cherries while they are available!
Here's a short post to encourage you to run out and get your Rainier cherries while they are in season. You may have passed them in the grocery store and wondered what they are. And, you may have walked quickly past them after looking at their price tag. But these beauties are worth trying as they are the sweetest cherry I've ever eaten!
Their price tag reflects how difficult it is to grow these beauties. They are extremely sensitive to heat, too much rain and gusts of wind. To add insult to injury, the birds eat about a third of the crop!
This cherry was named after Mount Rainier and was developed by Harold Fogle in Washington State University's breeding program in 1952. But it wasn't available to the general public until eight years later. It is a cross between the Bing and the Van cherry.
Rainier cherries are beautifully colored in layers of gold with blush tones of pink and red. Washington state is the premier growing region because of its particular climate. But they also grow in other states such as Oregon, Idaho, Utah, New York and California. Some orchards are also found in Canada and Chile.
I'm sure you can bake these into pies, or whip them into ice cream or smoothies, but the very best way to eat this delightful fruit is right out of the bowl!
So get them while you can. They won't be around long.
If You Consume Calcium-Fortified Foods Or Take Calcium Supplements, You May Need To Supplement With Magnesium!
Last year I warned of the danger of taking too many calcium supplements. This is a perfect example of where "more" is not "better", especially if you are not balancing your calcium with other minerals or monitoring how much you are getting from your food. Yet doctors continue to overprescribe calcium supplements while, at the same time, food companies are having a contest to see who can fortify their products more.
Why are Food Companies in the Vitamin Business?
Given my sensitivity to over consuming calcium, I was troubled to find many of my favorite non-dairy milks were adding excessive amounts of calcium to their milk. In an effort to prove that non-dairy milk is a better source of calcium than dairy milk (it certainly is a healthier option), some brands boast that a single cup of their almond milk contains 455 mg of calcium where dairy milk only contains 276 mg. Although some people really depend on this type of fortification for their calcium, especially if they avoid dairy, foods fortified at these levels should really be regarded as supplements.
Most people don't keep a running tab of how much calcium they consume each day. So if they are already taking 500 to 1,000 mg of calcium supplements and drink 2 cups of fortified almond milk during the day, they could be approaching twice their daily requirement without even considering what they got from eating green leafy vegetables, broccoli, molasses, tofu, mineral water, chia seeds, almonds and other calcium-rich foods. And if you popped a few TUMS for heartburn, you could be getting another 200 to 400 mg per tablet.
Balance with Magnesium is Critical!
While calcium consumption is rising, the amount of magnesium people obtain is declining due to the depletion of minerals in our soil and the processing of our foods. This is a concern because if calcium and magnesium consumption is not balanced, taking too much calcium can do more harm than good and actually cause damage to the cells.
Nutritionists suggest an optimal calcium to magnesium ratio of 1:1 or 2:1 but Americans consume 5 or more times the amount of calcium than magnesium. The ability of calcium to provide healthy bones and prevent osteoporosis depends heavily on the body having adequate levels of magnesium. High calcium/low magnesium can not only lead to osteoporosis and bone fractures, but can also cause arteriosclerosis, which can cause heart disease.
* Calcium excites nerves and magnesium calms them.
* Calcium (together with potassium) cause muscles to contract. Magnesium helps muscles to relax.
* Calcium makes bones hard but magnesium contributes to the bone structure and makes the bones less brittle.
* Calcium is needed for blood to clot but magnesium prevents blood from getting too thick.
The Nutritional Magnesium Association is an excellent source of information about magnesium.
consider taking a magnesium supplement.
Green vegetables are very good sources of magnesium because the center of the chlorophyll molecule (which is what gives green veggies their color) contains magnesium.
Unrefined grains, some legumes, nuts and seeds are also good sources.
Keep tabs on your total calcium consumption. Add up what you are getting from supplements and all foods, especially those that are fortified.
If you are out of balance, eat more magnesium-rich foods or consider taking a supplement.
Crunchy And Cool Summer Salad With Agave-Dijon Dressing - Perfect For Your July 4th Picnic!
When the weather warms up, it's time to eat more raw food. Whether you're a vegan, vegetarian or meat eater, it's a good idea to consume lots of raw fruits and vegetables in the summer months. This blog and my ebook, Health Begins in the Kitchen, is based on a Seasonally Raw Food Plan which varies the amounts of raw food consumed with the seasons. In the winter when it's cold, our bodies crave cooked foods such as warm soups, cooked grains, and baked sweet potatoes. But for now, when the weather is hot and the farmer's market and summer gardens are flourishing, let's pile on the raw fruits and veggies!
We've had record breaking heat the last few weeks here on the West Coast so we've been living on raw smoothies and big salads. This simple salad makes a beautiful presentation and is very cooling for the body. The shredded cabbage and carrots give it a nice crunch. Agave is used as a substitute in this classic honey-mustard dressing for my many vegan followers but if you prefer honey, use it instead of agave.
Make the dressing by placing all dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk with a fork until well combined.
Either make the salad on individual salad plates or on one large platter.
Start by spreading the cabbage out as the base layer and then cover it with the carrots.
Cover the carrots with cucumbers and then red onion.
Place slices of avocado around the cabbage on the bottom of the platter.
Cover with dressing, top with freshly ground black pepper and serve.

Philip Gidley King (1758–1808), naval officer and governor, joined the navy in late 1770 and served in the East Indies and American waters. He was commissioned lieutenant in 1778. In the Ariadne he served under Arthur Phillip in the Channel Fleet. Three years later the pair sailed to India. King was paid off when peace prevailed, but when Phillip was named commander of the expedition to Botany Bay, he asked King to be his second lieutenant in the Sirius. When he transferred to the Supply, he took King with him, in the advance party; a couple of weeks after they arrived in Botany Bay, Phillip appointed King to establish a satellite settlement on Norfolk Island. Later, still backed by Phillip and also by Joseph Banks, King, by then elevated to the rank of post-captain, succeeded John Hunter as governor of New South Wales in early 1880. King's son, Phillip Parker King, has been described as the first Australian-born person to succeed in the world outside the colonies.
This portrait was engraved as an illustration for Phillip's The voyage of Governor Phillip to Botany Bay (1790).

Gardai in Henry Street are appealing for witnesses to the incident (Image: PA)
A woman in her 20s has been charged after four people were injured, one seriously, in an alleged hit-and-run in Limerick.
Gardai in Henry Street are appealing for witnesses to the incident, which happened in Cornmarket Row in the early hours of Sunday.
Three pedestrians – a man and two women – were struck by a vehicle.
All three were taken by ambulance to University Hospital Limerick.
The man, 33, suffered serious injuries and is in critical condition.
The two women, both in their late 30s, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
A 19-year-old woman also went to University Hospital Limerick having been injured by the same vehicle. Her condition is also non-life-threatening.
Gardai said the woman is due before Limerick District Court on Monday morning.

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg on Thursday warned Russia to halt its "reckless" behavior, after the Netherlands revealed it had foiled a Kremlin cyber attack on the global chemical weapons watchdog.
"Russia must stop its reckless pattern of behavior, including the use of force against its neighbors, attempted interference in election processes, and widespread disinformation campaigns," he said.
Stoltenberg added that NATO fully supports moves to name and shame Russia over electronic warfare, speaking shortly after Britain and Australia blamed Russian military intelligence for recent attacks.

THE HAGUE (Reuters) - Dutch authorities disrupted an attempt in April by Russian intelligence agents to hack the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, Defence Minister Ank Bijleveld said on Thursday.
At a news conference in The Hague, Bijleveld called on Russia to cease its cyber activities aimed at "undermining" Western democracies.
According to a presentation by the head of the Netherlands' military intelligence agency, four Russians arrived in the Netherlands on April 10 and were caught on the 13th with spying equipment at a hotel next to the OPCW headquarters.

BRUSSELS (AP) — The US Justice Department on Thursday charged seven Russian intelligence officers with hacking anti-doping agencies and other organizations hours after Western officials leveled new accusations against Moscow's secretive GRU military spy agency.
Hours before the US indictment was announced, Western nations accused the GRU of new cybercrimes, with Dutch and British officials labeling the intelligence agency "brazen" for allegedly targeting the international chemical weapons watchdog and the investigation into the 2014 downing of a Malaysian Airlines flight over eastern Ukraine.
The US indictment said that the GRU targeted its victims because they had publicly supported a ban on Russian athletes in international sports competitions and because they had condemned Russia's state-sponsored athlete doping program.

Things are ramping up between Russia and the West. That usually means Russia is going to be getting extra busy somewhere else, like maybe the Middle East where they want world attention on other things for the moment while they do something nasty. In this case perhaps some chemical weapons being moved into or deployed in Syria and the Golan.

SILENCE OF THE DEAD
"The silent majority" is a phrase only uttered these days by politically inclined individuals. It means "a large group of people in a country who do not express their opinions publicly but can sway elections" and was most recently utilized in the Trump campaign on signs that said "the silent majority stands with Trump". The background behind this seems absurdly simple; silent and majority, two transparent words, combining to talk about a transparent political group of people. Well, to quote Trump, "wrong!" The silent majority used to be a euphemism for "dead people". This can be traced as far back as Petronius, who said abiit ad plures to describe deceased people, translating as "he's gone to the many" or "majority", since even then it was common knowledge that the dead outnumbered the living. Additionally, sometimes the dead would be described as "the silent" in Roman times. Whether or not these was translated by scholars is unanswered, but they later showed up in Victorian times as the phrase "silent majority", which slowly fell out of favor during the early nineteen hundreds to a more ubiquitous definition, where any large group that was not spoken of could be labled thus. Eventually, the Nixon Administration picked up the phrase in 1969 to describe those secretly in favor of the Vietnam bombing, as opposed to the "noisy minority", and it remains a politically charged statement to today.
James Picardo link
Thanks for this - I had no idea about the Petronius link. Apparently Calvin Coolidge was the first person to use the phrase in its modern sense. I wrote a play called The Silent Majority because I thought it seemed to symbolise something about that turn in US culture at the end of the sixties.
