Sports Bars originally appeared in the January 2002 issue of Bon Appetit, and since discovering the recipe I've made them many times using different ingredients. These days my usual version of Sports Bars is a combination of puffed rice, peanut butter, honey, dried cranberries and whatever other nuts are around.
The original version recipe calls for a mixture of honey and corn syrup, but I've found that using all honey works just as well and the bars taste great — not too overly honey flavored. If you are not a honey lover or if you want to make these vegan, you could try using maple syrup instead or maybe use a combination of maple and rice syrup.
One thing to be keep in mind is that the bars start out VERY crumbly. They will set, but it takes one of two things — patience or the freezer. I usually let mine cool for a few minutes, then throw the whole pan in the freezer for about half an hour.
Sports Bars are snack bars made with cereal, peanut butter and honey.
1 1/2 cups puffed wheat or puffed rice cereal.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with foil and spray with nonstick spray (or just use nonstick foil).
Mix cereal, pecans, cranberries and banana chips (or another kind of nut) in a large bowl.
Combine peanut butter, and honey (or syrup) in a heavy small saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly until mixture bubbles vigorously and thickens slightly.
Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal mixture in bowl; stir to blend. Transfer mixture to prepared pan.
Press down tightly and bake for about about 8-10 minutes.
Let cool completely, then lift foil from pan and cut into bars. Note: These will not hold together until they have cooled completely! If you want them to cool quickly, put the slightly cooled pan of bars in the freezer.
Thanks! That sounds good – I needed a reason to try/buy Lyle's golden syrup anyway! I finally spotted it at World Market a couple weeks ago.
Hola, Amigo!Nope. At first I thought it might be to blame for why my bars were so crumbly right out of the oven. That is, I thought the corn syrup might have helped them stay together somehow. When they cooled, they held together just fine.If you follow the recipe as I wrote it and use 1/4 cup of honey, I think you'll get a pretty strong honey flavor. So if you don't like honey, you might want to tone it down by using a combo of corn syrup and honey. I didn't want any honey flavor in mine, so I used 1/4 cup of Lyle's Golden Syrup, which just tastes like caramelish sugar syrup. Next time, I might try a combo of honey and maple syrup or even caramel syrup. I think the most important thing is to just keep the proportion of thick syrups the same.
I noticed in the original recipe that it also called for Corn Syrup – did leaving that out have any effects that you noticed?


Cancer. Heart related illnesses. Death. Although risks of smoking are well-documented, an smokers have faith that low tar cigarettes happen to be a safer alternative to their higher tar cousins. But are low tar cigarettes, sometimes called "light" cigarettes, as safe as so many smokers reckon? The answer is really a clear and definitive that no. Here are some truths regarding low tar tobacco products.
Numerous studies show that lower tar cigarettes are no safer as opposed to regular package. Many health problems are associated with smoking "light" cigarettes.
A study of far more 1 million smokers via the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the American Cancer Society (ACS) revealed that smokers enjoying low tar cigarettes had the same lung cancer risk as those who smoked medium tar a cigarette.
Another study by the ACS discovered that low tar products were particularly related to the kind of lung cancer known as adenocarcinoma.
Some research showed that smokers who used low tar cigarettes had precisely the same impairment of blood flow through the coronary arteries as participants who smoked regular cigarette. Furthermore, light cigarettes did not reduce baths of emphysema or heart related illnesses.
The fact is: each and every really do understand. Tobacco companies determine tar levels involving their products by cooking with a machine that automatically smokes cigarettes from a consistent opportunity. Many deem this measurement method to be able to inaccurate as people's smoking tendencies differ; for example, the machine could be taking lower levels of tar than some smokers.
Tar-reduced products typically contain lower levels of nicotine. Like a result, those who smoke light cigarettes actually inhale smoke more deeply to compensate for the loss of nicotine, the addictive chemical. They drag the tar deeper his or her lungs, puff more frequently, and hold onto the drag for a longer time of time than regular cigarette people who smoke. Moreover, evidence shows that some low tar smokers will cover up the holes near the filter, vad innehåller e cigg that are specifically in order to reduce simply how much smoke inhaled, resulting in a substantial increasing amount of smoke inhalation.
The Federal trade commission (FTC), federal government agency that monitors truth in advertising, stopped its endorsement of your test always determine tar levels. It argued that the terms "light" and "low tar" provide no meaningful information to consumers towards tar and nicotine cellular levels.
A massive study of nearly 31,000 American smokers revealed that switching along with low tar or light cigarette actually decreased it is likely that a smoker giving up the habit.

It is further believed that people that switch mistakenly feel that light brands do dont you have the same negative health effects as regular cigarettes, and therefore are an acceptable alternative.

With each puff, a smoker, and everybody in the vicinity for this smoker, is exposed the substance list resembling an equation from Frankenstein's lab: carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, ammonia, and formaldehyde, just to mention a few.

The Most Popular Spectaror Sport In the Island
There have been cars in Barbados since the early years of the 20th century, and the first motor sport competition  a hillclimb won by Harold Manning, founder of a motor sport dynasty now in its third generation - was held nearly 80 years ago in the 1930s.
The Barbados Rally Club (BRC), which will celebrate its 60th Anniversary in 2017, is the oldest of the seven member clubs of the Barbados Motoring Federation, the island's governing body, which annually issues around 400 competition licences . . . all of motor sport's disciplines are covered, circuit racing and rallying (including historics) joined by autocross, dexterity, drag racing, karting, off-road navigational rallies, rallycoss and rallysprints.
Mid-way through 2014, the island's original racetrack, Bushy Park – first opened in the 1970s - was comprehensively redeveloped into a multi-purpose world-class facility, which has already hosted Top Gear Festival Barbados and the Race Of Champions. The Vaucluse Raceway, which has been dormant in recent years, returned to regular useage late in 2014.

Seeking advice is very important when you want to make the right choice. Some decisions are more important than others and even free advice can guide you to the right decision. Free baseball picks are some of the first aspects you have to consider before you place a bet. It is easier to make up your mind when you focus on free football picks.
There are many different things you may know about a team of your favorite sport, but it is hard to keep track of all of them. Each of them has a certain evolution in the game and it may seem impossible to predict the outcome of a match. Even so, there are many people who think they can do it and they try to earn some money out of it as well.
Placing bets is very common, but placing the right bets is not the same. If you want to make the right choice, you have to use all the details you have at hand and try to predict what will happen. It is not as easy as you may think, but it is a lot better than placing a bet based on chance. Luck is a part of the game, but it is not the one you must rely on.
If you do not have the time to invest in this research, you should rely on others who can. There are many enthusiasts that will invest a wide range of resources in this activity. They follow the evolution of the games, the patterns a team follows, the issues it will deal with and more. These are the details that will lead to an informed decision in the end.
The results they will get out of this activity are often shared with others through free baseball picks. There will offer you their insight and the fruits of their labor. This is going to help you place a number of good bets and you will also win some money. Do you think it is the right decision that you are the only one who wins based on these tips?
Offering your support for the people who offer free football picks is important since this will help them keep doing the work they have done. Even if you can never be sure beyond any doubt about a certain result, a decision based on the right information will reduce the risk of failure. Since you win in the end, it is imperative to support your sources.
This is one of the reasons why you should not rely on free picks alone. If you want to enjoy the quality of the picks so you can keep winning, you should be willing to invest in this. If you are willing to pay for the picks you want to use, the people who invest their resources in the research will be motivated to continue their work. If you are looking for top quality picks, you can visit the site of vegastopdogs.com for the right answers.
Free baseball picks ( https://vegastopdogs.com ) are one of the best solutions you can turn to for guidance.

Cistus sp.
Scientific Name: Cistus sp.
Common Names: Rockrose
Family: Cistaceae
Plant Type: Shrub
Environment: Needs excellent drainage and some summer watering the first couple of years; then drought tolerant; full or nearly-full sun
Bloom: Five-petaled flowers in pink and white with a dark spot on the base of each petal
Uses: Great as a part of a habitat planting; will fill in empty spaces well
Other: There are eight genera and roughly 185 species in the Cistaceae family. Unique characteristic for the Cistaceae family: there are five sepals, two of which are smaller than the other three. The common name, rockrose, refers to the similarity of the flower to traditional species roses, combined with the rocky habitat in which they are often found growing
Cistus sp. is located in the Mediterranean Garden (Beds 28).
A 30-foot hill of ivy in the San Francisco Botanical Garden sat undisturbed for at least 25 years. Named Heidelberg Hill for the 1894 Midwinter Fair, where it was the site of a German village and beer garden, this area has been transformed into a stunning Mediterranean garden.
In 2008, Jason Martinez, one of San Francisco Botanical Garden's gardeners, studied this valuable and unused space. On his own initiative, he proposed a design for a Mediterranean Garden that would change the hill and its base into one reflective of a rocky and sunlit terrain found along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. It took time to accomplish as his design had to be approved, funds acquired and the century-old expanse of ivy had to be removed. The power of a City backhoe was essential in plowing up the entrenched mass of roots. In early 2012, mounds of rich soil from Golden Gate Park Nursery and huge boulders appeared at the foot of the still barren hillside. It became a roped-off area and a mystery to visitors. By December, the sandy hill was covered with black soil, and dozens of natives of the Mediterranean plant community, Maquis. Nestled among the boulders, an evergreen vegetative plant community similar to California's chaparral began to emerge. A border of blue atlas fescue (Festuca mairei) and scarlet poppies, Papaver rhoeas, leads the eye upwards past glorious clumps of snapdragons (Antirrhinum hispanicum), Echium spp., rosemary (Rosmarinus spp.), lavender (Lavandula spp.), yarrow (Achillea tomentosa), salvias (Salvia spp.) and rockroses (Cistus spp.) to the summit of the hill.
Over twenty different rockroses in shades of pink and white are scattered throughout the new garden. Rockroses are superb, sun-loving, drought tolerant plants, never needing water once established, though well-drained soil is essential. They open in the morning and drop their petals by mid-afternoon, replaced with new flowers the following day. The five petals are crinkly with golden centers consisting of stamens. Fruits are dry capsules that split open. The single evergreen leaves are often aromatic, rough to the touch, sometimes sticky and tend to curl at the edges. Cistus ladanifer has a fragrant resin in its leaves, called labdanum, and has been used, since antiquity, in the making of perfumes. Rockroses are not roses at all and are in the family Cistaceae, along with helianthemums, also planted in the Mediterranean garden. Cistus, 'kistos' in Greek, means 'rocky places', which is a great description of their native habitat and the one recreated here at the Garden.
To quote Jason, "This garden is a living symbol of the cooperation between San Francsico Recreation and Parks Department and the San Francisco Botanical Garden Society."

Saving Ireistis is an action-packed fantasy novel written for kids, teenagers, and adults with an adventurous streak. The story begins with an average teenage boy, Michael, who finds himself mysteriously pulled into an alternate world containing magic, dragons, wizards, and many other surprises. In his attempts to return home, he finds himself befriended by a local wizard and developing some magic of his own. From there, Mike will set off on a quest, accompanied by four new friends, including a Dragon-human hybrid and an elf-like woodlander, to retrieve the last Dragon egg in existence. The Dragons, once noble and proud race, have become smaller and weaker, nearing extinction, and Mike's mission is their only chance to avoid disappearing completely. The Dark Wizard Meard, however, has far more nefarious plans for the precious article. Before he can save it, though, he must first travel cross the land of Teranna and brave its many dangers. It is not an easy or safe task he has been given, but that does not stop Mike or his friends in the completion of their mission. Even in the face of a major confrontation with Meard's powerful forces, Mike and his friends continue in their pursuit and just barely make it out alive with their prize. Between run-ins with mysterious creatures, near-death experiences over treacherous terrain, and the revelation of the source of the magic of Teranna, Saving Ireistis will most definitely keep you on your toes.
Erika Birkenes is an 18 year old author. She grew up loving to read fiction and fantasy novels, so it was only natural for her to begin writing her own at age 15. Starting as a school project, her first book, Saving Ireistis, quickly became a full novel that would be two years in the making. By her senior year in high school, Erika had completed writing and editing her book and decided to self-publish. The story, which follows an ordinary teenager like herself, captured the wild imagination that Erika had fostered over years of reading and creative writing. Her creative use of language and description paints a picture of some of the fantastic adventures and magical excitement that had previously only existed in her mind. Over the course of two years, Erika's first novel had grown into far more than she had initially expected. By the end of her senior year, Erika had not only successfully self-published her pet project, but had also begun working on its sequel, Race to Pardes. The fictional world she had created in detail was too dear to her to abandon after just one book, and so she created additional scenarios in which the characters of Saving Ireistis were set on yet another dangerous and exciting journey across the land of Teranna. Though Saving Ireistis is set in a completely fictionalized world, Erika has harnessed inspiration from both other books as well as her own everyday life to create a setting that is both captivating and believable. In both Saving Ireistis and Race to Pardes, Erika develops the personalities of her characters, explores different styles of writing and narration, and has found a way in which to share her love of the written word with others. In addition to being a professional author, Erika still finds the time to attend college as well as staying involved with her other hobbies such as dance and art. This talented and multi-faceted young woman has not only a bright future ahead of her, but also plans on living it to the fullest while also sharing her shining imagination with her audience.

Q: SAP Solution Manager: Which Application Life-Cycle Management Processes are getting covered? As it is included in the license (according to SAP) we would prefer using Solution Manager over other tools, for the entire life-cycle of software development. Or is it highly recommended to use specific tools for the particular processes like Test Management? Any opinions?

A: in general before answering this question, please be aware that SAP will bring out a new support model and the features and functions available in your SolMan installation will differ according to the support you requested from SAP. If you stick to the Enterprise Support you will (nearly) get every functionality, for Standard Support you well get less and a lot of features will not be included. At the moment, SolMan 7.10 is in Ramp Up Phase and 7.20 will be released in 2011. Due to the fact, that SAP changes the kernel of the Solution Manager Stack, which is apparently CRM from 5.0 to 7.0 you should keep in mind, that any functionality you implement in your current SolMan will lead to high migration efforts.
Apart from this, if you look at the Enterprise version, my experience is that not all features are rather good and suitable. It also depends on the organization you are working in. The SAP tools focus only on SAP, so if you are working in an environment where non-SAP Java has an important part I would look for different tools. If you look into the change management (ChaRM), it is suitable for small landscapes and for big ones only with some effort. Here you should also consider at least to have a look at different technologies and tools. From my point, there are some things like monitoring, job scheduling etc. which are quite good, but for the more general application lifecycle management tools you should at least take other options into account.

Do you feel like your skill level is behind?
Do you feel like your skill level is behind the pack? Hi, my name's Carrie and today on Artist Strong we're going to dig into this fear and try to break it down and figure out where it comes from. Let's get started.
I've had a lot of students tell me that when they compare their work to mine, they feel very discouraged. I've been drawing on and off for 30 years, and I'd say pretty seriously and with focus for at least 15 of them. Is it really fair for a student who's been drawing for three months, or even a year, to compare themselves to 15 or 30 years of committed drawing time? I do that to myself all the time, too. I'll compare myself to other artists who have had more time to do focused drawing activity, or have spent their time using a medium that I have not yet explored.
It's unfair of ourselves to compare to someone who's ahead of us. We can use them as a stepping stone, as a kind of goal to aim for, but to expect ourselves to have the same level of skill as someone else who has put in time and practice to develop it, that's putting ourselves in a place where we can't possibly succeed and we'll only feel like a failure.
The second question I want to ask you is, "Have you ever actually asked yourself where you want to be with your skill? Why do you feel behind?
Have you actively thought about where you want to be and the goals that you have for your art?" I would argue if you don't actively define and kind of narrow your focus to understand where you hope to be with your skill, you'll always feel behind because you're never be doing anything to do get there.
In the book, "Peak," all about expertise, by Anders Ericsson, he talks about focused practice. You need to have a plan of attack, and you need to create steps to reach towards your goals. You're not going to magically become more skillful at art. You have to put in time and effort. You need to have a focused, deliberate practice around areas of weakness in your skill. That is how you're going to get better.
If you don't know what your goal is, and you don't know where you want to go with your skill… Do you want to be hyper realistic in your drawing abilities? Do you want to be able to capture likeness in a portrait from someone that you see walking by? Do you want to be able to draw cartoon characters? These are all different levels of expectation and skill. They require different levels of practice. You're not going to know what to aim for, and if you don't create that goal, if you don't acknowledge it even just to yourself, then you don't create steps to aim for that goal.
Be Creatively Courageous: Today. Share publicly what you really hope for with your art skill. Where do you want to be? Do you have an example of an artist that you admire, that you would like to achieve a similar skill level with? Share that name or describe the goals that you have for your skill level in the comments below. That's step one. Then you can choose an action. What are you going to do next to get started building that skill?
Something you can do to start building your drawing skills is to join my free drawing challenge. It's a free 7 day challenge. All you've got to do is sign up below this video to get started. Thanks for watching. I'll see you next week.


Though a penguin and not a princess, Steve the Adelie penguin proves to be another lovable protagonist in Disney's collection. Disneynature's Earth Day documentary "Penguins" follows Steve's journey into parenthood.
At 5 years old and 15 pounds, Steve is determined to prove himself against adult challenges, including protecting his family from brutal antarctic weather and competition from his fellow penguins. Steve is clumsy and a bit scatterbrained, but approaches the mating season with simple optimism and a desire to foster a healthy family. His attitude toward life aptly parallels the overall tone of the film — uncomplicated and bright. Narrator Ed Helms (Andy Bernard in "The Office") gives our penguin protagonist a spirited and wholehearted voice as he alternates between first- and third-person perspectives.
The documentary, directed by Alastair Fothergill and Jeff Wyatt Wilson, opens with a sweeping shot of the Antarctic. As we close in on the surface, Helms describes the Antarctic's overwhelmingly cold and windy expanse.
Then Steve waddles in, to the beat of cheery pop music. He's far behind the other penguins and nearly out of the camera's frame because of his constant fumbling and meanderings. Though Steve's concern mounts as he fails to orient himself, he reassures himself with a certain "don't panic" that soon becomes his mantra throughout the film.
Steve then runs into a group of emperor penguins (likely a nod to the 2005 documentary "March of the Penguins"), who quickly turn the Adelie away. Eventually, he comes to meet his own waddle, where his interactions with other living creatures begin in earnest.
Although Helms' narration often wanders from Steve's mind, Steve remains the only animal with a voice throughout the entire documentary. The duality works. Steve remains our emotional anchor, a thread of humor and cheer while he blissfully bumbles away from environmental threats, such as predator-prey ladders and the brutal climate.
Though Steve's challenges are no greater than the other adults', his role as the everyman penguin helps the audience understand the exacting demands of their lifestyle. The film doesn't shy away from addressing these hardships. As a tense violin melody builds in the background, we watch in astounding clarity as killer whales hunt the penguins. We see Steve fight his peers, their feathers flying and their harsh Adelie beaks snapping. The violence is far from gratuitous — this is still very much a family film — and instead adds weight to a story of excessively adorable penguins.
Such more serious moments ground the story well. "Penguins" is never as heavy as "March of the Penguins," or even Disneynature's previous Earth Day films. It doesn't command nearly the level of gravitas, and it shouldn't. Steve's story aims to be simple and uplifting against an environment that demands otherwise.

Why It's Easy to Stereotype Rednecks
By Greg Gutfeld, | Fox News
A casting director for a new film was looking for deformed individuals to depict "West Virginia mountain people." They've already started by getting Julianne Moore.
Apparently they're going after a look that suggests inbreeding — not unlike the banjo-strumming child in "Deliverance" or the Olsen Twins.
Now, the producers said this is not meant to stereotype country folk, but that's crap. My guess is that many mountain families are less like "The Munsters" and more like "The Waltons" — but I suppose for anyone driving a Prius through Brentwood, you'd have to be an inbred if you're not living near a Starbucks with free Wi-Fi.
The good news is the casting director has been fired. But, stereotyping rednecks as toothless goblins won't stop. It's easy to do because they don't protest or call their congressman, mainly because they are too busy skinning squirrels.
I kid the skinning-squirrel folk.
But I wonder what would happen if you did the same casting call for say, a film about terrorism. Wanted: Arabs. There would be an uproar and rightly so.
If I were a mountain person, I would use my "other-worldly appearance" to pull a real "Beverly Hillbillies." I'd camp out on the producer's lawn with my creepy kids. Then I'd show them why indoor plumbing is so overrated.

To say that Jeff Plate was elated to learn of the positive reviews that his solo project of over 30 years yielded would be an understatement.
I Don't Feel Well, by Pluralone is a Hopeful, Melodic Experience
VWMusic February 28, 2021 October 25, 2021
"I Don't Feel Well" is an emotional glimpse and response to the dumpster fire that was 2020 in each note, producing an album that is nothing short of evoking and beautiful. Josh Klinghoffer aka Pluralone really shines on this album.
Yoga for the Ears: GEA by Mia Doi Todd is a Spin Your Soul Didn't Even Know it Needed
Some artists harness the ability to instantly tap into that part of their listener's soul that allows them to deeply connect with each note, and "GEA" by Mia Doi Todd did just that for me.

Let Lansing Vote abruptly dropped its lawsuit against City Clerk Chris Swope last week, effectively halting a year-long case that sought to revamp the state capital's marijuana market and force city officials to revisit rules that regulate the industry.
Both parties agreed to dismiss the case with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled on the same claim.
"It's over and done with," City Attorney Jim Smiertka said about the suit. "It's been a long haul.
The hearing in Ingham County Circuit Judge James Jamo's courtroom on July 18, which lasted only minutes, was initially slated to generate a possible ruling after Let Lansing Vote moved for a summary judgment. Those hopes, however, were quickly abandoned without much explanation. Attorneys largely kept their lips sealed.
Let Lansing Vote, a state-registered ballot committee representing an unnamed number of would-be marijuana dispensaries, last year filed the lawsuit in an attempt to nullify the city's ordinance regulating medical marijuana, which includes a limit of 25 dispensary licenses. The litigation boiled down to a claim that Swope illegally tossed petitions that would have overturned the local law.
Behind the suit, though, was the contention that the limit on dispensaries tilted the market in favor of big-money interests.
Some, including Mayor Andy Schor, contended Let Lansing Vote's success in the courtroom ultimately would have eroded the foundation of the entire marijuana market. A revocation of the ordinance would have forced all dispensaries, growing facilities and others to close in the absence of a law that guides their operation, he said.
Others contended an emergency ordinance could have been installed to prevent the market's collapse, but speculation over the future of the industry — at least for now — has reached a simmer. Guidelines for regulating the city's medical marijuana market are spelled out in the ordinance and Let Lansing Vote has raised its white flag.
Giddings and James Adkins, another attorney for the suit's multiple plaintiffs, declined to elaborate further. .
Smiertka said he didn't "get into the woods" when he heard about the motion to withdraw the case: He was just pleased the lawsuit was dropped. Lansing's chief deputy city attorney, Joseph Abood, emphasized the dismissal did not include a settlement.
"They just withdrew it, so that's great," Smiertka added.
Another Let Lansing Vote attorney, Bob Baldori, didn't return a call for comment. Marijuana advocate arren Osmar — previously labeled as a "representative" for Let Lansing Vote — didn't respond to multiple messages over the past two weeks. Schor also provided little insight into what prompted the sudden dismissal.

Ugly Food Was Hot Stuff in 2015
This was the year for misfit food.
By Tommy Werner
2015 was the year of foods I'd consider ugly ducklings. I ate fish that could pass as aliens, gnarly fruits and vegetables, and I wasn't just doing it to be cool, either. Across the country, diners and cooks were trying out ugly fruits and vegetables with odd shapes and finding...they taste exactly the same. The underdogs became the overlords.
7 Budget-Friendly, Sustainable Fishes to Cook Now
"This definitely seems like the year where more and more people were interested in trying something new," says Laura McDonald, communications specialist for NYC's Greenmarkets.
In trying some new looks, I also managed to waste a little less. Here's how my year of craving ugly food looked.
Trash Fish Was a Treasure
For every ready-for-the-runway salmon or tuna, there are dozens of other unsung species in the shadows labeled "abundant, invasive, or rough." They're usually thrown out due to lack of a market demand. Until now.
According to McDonald, varieties like porgy became best sellers at the markets, while mackerel definitely had a 2015 moment. Cooking and eating fish like these is more sustainable and often a heck of a lot cheaper that those top-of-the-line species.
I challenged myself to cook more inexpensive "trash" species, and found they're just as great. The Epi Test Kitchen turned into ugly fish beauticians and transformed a whole dorade into a salt-baked beauty, and grilled sardines to give their skin a crispier-than-a-chip crunch. I also fell in love with sustainable and healthy canned fish. Epi even threw a party for them.
The line-up features some common ugly food "defects."

Less-Than-Perfect Produce Looked Pretty
"Cosmetically challenged" fruits and vegetables (to say it nicely) have traditionally been a huge source of waste, and this year was the time I realized how much waste. Each year, 6 billion pounds of America's produce doesn't even make it to the market. Fruits and vegetables have to fit a supermarket's size and aesthetic standards. They're getting wasted because they didn't fit a "look." And that's some high school-level shade.
"Most of the ugly produce is being 'tossed out' at the farm," says Jordan Figuerido, founder of EndFoodWaste. "It's stuff that the farmer's rejecting and knows the grocer will not accept, so they don't even pick it."
Figuerido spent this year blending food waste advocacy with aesthetics. EndFoodWaste's Instagram posted fun photos of conjoined carrots, peppers with "noses,", and tomatoes with faces only a mother could love. As it turned out, more than just mothers loved ugly. 17,000 followers later, photos of funny-looking produce helped open up a conversation and even some businesses.
These carrots were judged "too crooked" for sale.

Modeling Businesses After Ugly Food
Imperfect Produce started as a grocery service for the Bay Area in August this year, offering a weekly 12-pound shipment of "ugly produce" for $12. In between the farmer and the supermarket, Imperfect steps in and looks for the rejects that don't fit the size requirements for grocery shelves. Or just look plain weird.
Referral after referral later, this subscription service is gaining traction as an alternative approach in bridging the gap between the almost 50 million food insecure Americans and fresh produce.
"We're wasting 40%—if we could recover 15% and get more nutritious produce to market, that would be enough to feed 25 million hungry Americans," says CEO Ben Simon, who also extends a subscription discount for Americans living on subsidized food stamps like SNAP. "On a systems scale, fighting waste overall reduces hunger." And it's wasting less.
These apples were discarded because they didn't meet the standard minimum diameter of 2 inches.
It's the Inside That Counts
This year, Dana Gunders, a writer and staffer on the Natural Resources Defense Council, released the Waste-Free Kitchen Handbook. One of the book's key tips is buying what she calls "cosmetically challenged" fruits and vegetables as part of a grander way to waste less food.
"This trend is more and more evidence that people are interested in taste more than appearance," says Gunders, who also notes the rise of farmers' market sales as an influence on ugly food's popularity
"Consumers have a higher tolerance than grocery stores give us credit for," says Gunders, "and farmers' markets are proof of that." This year, farmers' market sales peaked.
"Our shoppers have always been really open to foods looking differently from what they would at the grocery store," says McDonald. "You can't get a farmers' market shopping experience at a grocery store. You don't get the same thing."
While the big box grocers haven't budged on their stocking standards, people are getting the message: eat ugly, help the earth.

Proposal and report writing serve important functions in humanitarian agencies and are common and necessary tasks for staff in various levels and roles throughout the organisation. Nevertheless, writing proposals and reports can be challenging. The ability of NGOs to deliver aid is dependent on their access to funds, and the quality of project proposals determines whether or not funds are ultimately received. Reports must analyze the information that is presented, draw consistent conclusions, and make sensible and practical recommendations, otherwise they risk falling short of their objective.
It is essential for the operation of humanitarian programmes that organisations have the capacity to design, write and deliver high quality project proposals and reports. This course will focus on aspects that make proposals effective and successful and will introduce participants to best practices in proposal writing and help them to develop the knowledge and skills needed to improve their efficacy in writing, presenting and defending proposals. It will also cover report writing and will equip you with skills and techniques to write clear and engaging reports that encourage the reader to take action on your recommendations.
Registration is from 8.45am on Day 1, with the course starting at 9.00am and concluding by 5.00pm on the first and last day, and 5.00pm on the second day. The days are broken up into four sessions, separated by a lunch break and coffee/ tea breaks in the morning and afternoon.
This course is aimed at programme officers, managers, and other humanitarian staff whose roles involve producing proposals and reports for their organisation.
