Q: Integration with matlab i want to solve this problem:
alt text http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/6598/greenshot20100727091025.png
i don't want to use "int", i want to use "quad" family (quad,dblquad,triplequad)
but i can't.
can you help me?

A: I assume that your real problem is more complex than this trivial one. The best solution is just to use a symbolic integral. Why is numerical integration difficult?
Numerical integration in ONE dimension typically requires on the order of say 100 function evaluations. (The exact number will be very dependent on the accuracy required, the limits, etc.) This makes a 2-d integral typically require on the order of 100^2 = 10000 function evals. So an adaptive, 5-d integral will require on the order of 100^5 = 1e10 function evaluations. (This is only a very rough order of magnitude estimate here.) My point is, you simply don't want to do that!
Better is to reduce the problem in complexity. If your integral is separable (as is this one) then do so! Reduce a 5-d problem into multiple 1-d problems.
Also, in many cases I see people wanting to do a numerical integration of a Gaussian PDF. See that this is easily solved using a call to erf or erfc, coupled with a transformation. The point is that in many cases special functions are defined to greatly reduce the complexity of a problem.
I should add that in many cases, the key to solving a difficult problem in mathematics is to use mathematics to reduce the problem to something simpler. If you can find a way to reduce the dimensionality of your problem just a bit, it will become much more tractable.

A: The integral you show is

*

*Analytically solvable: always do analytically what you can

*?equal to a number: constant expressions should be eliminated from numerical calculations

*not easy to get calculated in MATLAB (or very correct).
You can use cumtrapz to integrate over each variable alone, and call trapz the final integration. Remember that this will blow up the error on any problem that is more complicated than the simple sum of linear functions.
Mathematica is more suited to nD integrations, if you have access to that.

A: matlab can do symbolic integration
>> x = sym('x'); y = sym('y'); z = sym('z'); u = sym('u'); v = sym('v');
>> int(int(int(int(int(x+y+z+u+v,1,5),-2,3),0,1),-1,1),0,1)

ans =

180

A: Just noticed you want to do numeric, not symbolic integration
If you look at the source of dblquad and triplequad
>> edit dblquad

you see that they just call the lower versions.
it should be possible for you to add a quadquad and a quintquad (or recursively an n-quad)

Mobile app microwaves hookup culture
Tinder has become known worldwide mainly through college students and young adults. It is as if our young population cannot socialize in a proper manner in order to talk to the same or opposite sex.
The mobile app manages 750 million "swipes" per day, leading to 10 million introductions and 5 million matches according to an article by Danny Sullivan for Marketing Land.
Sean Rad, CEO of Tinder, has shared that with the app he is trying to "mirror how people date in real life, only better." Much like seeing your ex on a date with your friend, an entire friend group can end up matching with one guy. On a campus as small as ours, it's not an unlikely phenomenon and it's happened to me before. In my use of Tinder I've matched with about 40 other members, and the experience has ranged from pleasant to downright disturbing.
Match #1 was actually working for Zoosk, another dating site, and he monitors other dating apps to collect data and see what Zoosk can improve on. I bet some of you never knew there were actually people out there matching with you just because they are competing with other dating sites and need information.
Zoosk, which is one of Tinder's direct competitors, made about $178 million in the year 2013. Tinder is expected to reach $1.1 billion by 2015, at a $5.68 billion market cap.
According to Sean Rad's statement, he is looking for making this a dating app, as it was in the past. But society made an opportunistic approach to turn this into a hot spot for sexually active members located near you. Of course the app is really what you make of it at the end of the day.
The psychology behind this app is amazing. It's the hot or not approach; picking through the opposite and/or same sex to find who you think is attractive.
Match #2 had told me he does not use Tinder for the use of dating or hooking up. He says it is just for his entertainment, he likes seeing what kind of people he can match with. Match #3 tried to hook up with me the moment he talked to me, which quickly told me what he was using the app for.
Match #4 said he has been using Tinder for about a week. "It is an easier way to socialize due to limited time," he said.
He said he was more inclined toward a relationship than a hookup, but his shirtless selfies told me otherwise. Match #5 asked if I wanted to come over and watch Netflix at 1:33 in the morning and ladies, we all know what that means… There is admittedly a small chance you really would be watching Netflix, but results may vary. When I talked to him the next morning he confessed, "Honestly, last night probably was not about Netflix."
Match #6 simply asked, "Do you like d*ck pics?"
My answer was no.
This generic app has a new feature, "Moments," where you post extra pictures of yourself so your matches can see them, giving you a higher chance of them talking to you.
It shares some traits with Instagram: you can change the look of the picture, making the image more attractive.
Users can also "like" other users' photos, much like Instagram, without offering any additional communication and keeping the whole thing very low-commitment.
If you go to the app's webpage, it shows a video of friends getting together and going out to the tune of "I believe" by Basic Vacation. This makes Tinder look more like a wholesome social network and less like the "let's bang" sexually-charged phenomenon that it is.
A lot of girls on Tinder are more than likely not trying to hook up, but they are looking for attention from different guys, and with this app they are given this opportunity in private.
All girls have to worry about is the off chance that they are talking with a couple guys that are rooming together, or talking to the same guy as their roommate. Awkward.
The majority of girls are on this 'dating' site for compliments. Once a girl has gotten her ego boost for the night, will she level with the guy she's talking to and go for a meet-up? Or are the compliments all she came for?
I have found that a majority of my matches are online for the sake of hooking up which is essentially what this app is geared for.
I would not prefer the "Tinder hook up" because I feel dehumanized by the app and would rather have a real, organic interaction.

Das Wasserschloss (auch Zobelschloss genannt) in Giebelstadt, einem Markt im unterfränkischen Landkreis Würzburg (Bayern), wurde ursprünglich im 14. Jahrhundert errichtet. Das Wasserschloss an der Mergentheimer Straße 2 ist ein geschütztes Baudenkmal.

Beschreibung
Die für die Freiherren Zobel zu Giebelstadt errichtete zweigeschossige Vierflügelanlage mit Ecktürmen stammt im Kern aus dem 14. Jahrhundert. Nach der Zerstörung im Bauernkrieg im Jahr 1545 wurde die Anlage in den Jahren 1581 bis 1585 wieder aufgebaut. Über dem Portal des Torhauses im Renaissancestil befindet sich ein Relief mit dem Allianzwappen der Zobel/Truchseß, das von Jörg Riemenschneider stammen soll. Den Eingang zur Kapelle im Innenhof schmückt ein Allianzwappen der Zobel/Greiffenclau und den Eingang zum Treppenhaus ein Allianzwappen der Zobel/Bibra.

Im Schloss befinden sich der Ahnensaal, die Bibliothek, der Rote und der Blaue Salon, der Speisesaal und die Kapelle, die mit einem Barockaltar ausgestattet ist. Das gesamte Inventar wurde im Jahr 2002 versteigert. Das Wasserschloss steht zurzeit (2014) leer und kann nicht besichtigt werden.

Kolhapur: Petrol Pump Owners Protest Against Central Government. They showed their rage against central govt. by not purchasing petrol and Diesel from dealers on Wednesday. They alleged that they are facing loss due to change in prices on daily basis and also said that today they are protesting just as a warning. They warned Government that if the government doesn't take them seriously then they will go on a strike on 12 July and Petrol or Diesel will not be sold. Representatives of petrol pump associations are going to meet in Mumbai on July 8 and further decisions will be taken in meeting.


Last week I shared some of my favorite fall recipes (see fall recipe round-up) including a recipe for cinnamon oatmeal apple muffins. As an extra bonus I said I was currently working on a recipe alternative or remix using pumpkin instead of apples. Well here it is! They are just as tasty and hearty for morning breakfast as the apple variety.
Today is my mother's b-day and she makes a wonderful cream cheese pumpkin muffin. When Luke and I got ready to take the U-haul across the country to New York last fall I asked her to make us a batch. They were a great treat with coffee as we hit the road (even if the crumble topping made a small mess in the truck). Now these are not the same muffins. As much as I love her cream cheese pumpkin muffins I wanted to attempt a healthier alternative. But maybe I will make some closer to the holidays. . .
Other than the obvious difference in fruit use (yes pumpkin is actually a fruit) I added honey because pureed pumpkin does not have the natural sweetness of applesauce or apples. Each muffin is 125 calories and this recipe makes 20-24 of them.
1. Soak the oats in milk for an hour.
3. Spray muffin pan with cooking spray or line with butter.
4. Combine the oat mixture with the pumpkin, milk, egg whites, and honey, mix until combined. Depending how sweet you want your muffins, you may want to use 1/4 or 1/2 C honey. If you use 1/2 C honey then you muffins will be 140 calories each.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk dry ingredients (except the ½ tbl pumpkin spice, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1 tsp sugar) together.
6. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until just combined.
8. Combine cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and brown/white sugar and top each muffin with some of the mixture.
What is your favorite pumpkin flavored food? Dessert?
Awhile ago I shared with you that with some of my birthday money I bought popsicle molds. Since then I have been excited to try a variety of tasty frozen treat recipes. My cookies n cream pudding pops with blueberries were eaten up quickly (which I took at a good sign). Since then I have made two other new recipes both just as good but lower in calories. These creamsicles are great weekday treats that satisfy my ice cream craving while keeping me in my calorie count.
First new recipe is: tropical banana ceramsciles. They are simple to make and have the potential for many variations. It's as easy as: 1. making the creamscile base 2. adding fruit juice 3. adding fresh fruit.
This recipe makes 8-10 creamsciles (based on the size of your forms) if your batch makes 8 creamsicles they are 95 calories each and if 10 then they are 80 calories each.
Variations: Use straight pineapple juice for a taste similar to Disney's dole whip (will be pretty sweet). You can add 1/4 C coconut milk to the pineapple juice for a taste similar to a pina colada. Or you can keep it simple by using only orange juice for a more traditional creamsicle or 50/50 bar.
I made a larger batch and only have 6 molds, fortunately leftover batch keeps well in the fridge in a plastic tupperware container so I can refill the molds as the week goes on.
What are your favorite tropical fruits?

As we wind our way through winter, looking forward to summer, I've been reviewing the charts and Google Earth and am plotting some trips I'd like to make this summer. Most of them will be weekend hops, but maybe one will be a longer trip.
What kind of trips do you have plans for?
I think this is the year we try for the bahamas.
I really want to go to Bimini this year, but with the house being under construction, I'm not sure I'll get the week off to go.
Where will you leave to cross over to the Bimini's? Go with a group?
You gave me some ideas though.
Larry: We spend the night at Harbortown in Dania and head out the Port Everglades inlet. The last time I went was in 2001 with a group of 15 boatered ROs.
yep- just up the james in the pagan river. Being retired USCG you could get into the base marinas pretty cheap - norfolk/little creek/fort monroe.
I am in little creek. Let me know if you need anything local & give me a shout if you get up here brother.
I will certainly do that. Let me know if you plan a run up the James, I'll find a place in Portsmouth/Chesapeake to launch and meet you by middle ground light.


If your Instagram feed is as chock-full of amazing photography as mine is, then you've probably found yourself wondering How To Download Picture On Instagram eventually. That's just what we'll reveal you today: the best ways to save Instagram photos from your stream and also the best ways to support your very own Instagram pictures.
The Instagram application doesn't immediately enable you to save pictures (or perhaps to focus, for that issue). We've already revealed you the best ways to zoom in on Instagram images with simply the Android system, but saving Instagram pictures will call for an app.
2. Open the application as well as sign in with your Instagram login details. Your stream will certainly be replicated as selectable icons, much like in your Gallery app.
3. Discover the picture you wish to save (you could search for individuals with the Browse magnifying glass icon).
5. You'll see the save area of the folder, which you could after that discover through your Gallery application.
If, at one factor, you switched off Instagram's auto-save attribute in a flurry of storage-saving insanity, you could want to transform that alternative back on. If you have actually never ever poked around in the Instagram settings after that you're most likely secure and the application is auto-saving your uploaded images to your device. However if you're not exactly sure, it doesn't injured to double check.
3. Drop until you see the alternative for" save original photos" and make sure the switch is flipped to the "On" placement.
State you have actually shed your phone and authorized right into Instagram on a brand-new gadget. Perhaps you 'd like to download a copy of all of your Instagram pictures to keep on your brand-new phone? Or create an archive on your computer system? That's simple as well, but you'll should do it on a computer system as opposed to via your phone.
3. Choose whether you want to download all images or just picked ones.
5. If you want them on your phone now, link your phone to your computer system with a USB cable television and also replicate the files to your phone.


Early this morning I received a few text messages before 7:15am. Generally, this should be a bad thing. Who died? What did I forget to do? When I saw they came from my theologian friends, my sleepy mind went right to Rome and I had flashbacks to my participation in the funeral services of John Paul II.
While it is a surprise, it is not all that shocking. Pope Benedict has long expressed his disinterest in following his predecessor's path of prolonged suffering while in a very demanding office (and the conflict that developed in the Vatican in the absence of an attentive pope). Clearly, this should not be seen as an insult to Blessed John Paul II. The late pope witnessed to suffering and vulnerability in a way that inspired many people around the world. But that was not the ideal situation for a person or the church.
Again, Benedict XVI has proven to be a pope of surprises. The pope that many claimed would bring the church to a pre-Vatican II church has surprised both conservatives and liberals with his generally pragmatic approach. The pope that many claimed would not engage crowds, e nlivened groups in Africa, Middle East, Europe, Australia, and the Americas.
In some ways, Benedict resembles John XXIII in his quite, yet surprising leadership style. (I know that this is provocative to say). But perhaps this is part of the charism of being pope. The Holy Spirit is nothing less than a spirit of surprises. And in the end, life and the church would be much more boring without it.
One should praise the pope for the courage and humility to know his own limits and to put the concerns of the church above his own. As we approach Lent, what are our own limits?
Well put, Kevin-simple & elegant.


A few years ago, two brothers, Charlie and Harry Thuillier, went windsurfing in the wilderness of Brazil. They survived on foods naturally sourced on the wild coastline, including coconuts and wild super-fruits. Not only were they super healthy and nutritious, but they tasted wonderful too. On returning home, the boys became fascinated with the idea of using healthy natural ingredients to make indulgent food; nutritious without sacrificing taste. Just like the food they loved so much on their trip. Oppo Ice Cream was born.
Charlie and Harry worked tirelessly to find just the right tasting low calorie recipe. Oppo's promise is 'guilt-free luxury ice cream', the cream and the sugar being replaced with stevia leaf, a natural sweetener, and virgin coconut oil.
Oppo Ice Cream got a great break when they launched into 117 Waitrose stores. Since then the brand has gone from strength to strength. Named as Guardian start-up of the year Oppo is now stocked in over a thousand places including Co-op, Whole Foods, Budgens, Holland & Barrett as well as hotels, cinemas, theatres, and sports clubs.
At Toast we appreciate this kind of dedication to delivering what customers want and making sure they come back for more. With the nation's health a growing concern and the war on sugar a battle worth winning it's great to see we don't have to give up our treats like ice cream, because thanks to market challenger brands like Oppo you can enjoy great tasting ice cream that is low in sugar but still tastes amazing.

It's no secret that intercity bus service in Eastern Washington is not what it used to be. When travelling by bus was much more common, some routes in the region would see as many as 7-8 trips a day. Nowadays, the most frequent services just run twice daily.
Out of every city in Eastern Washington, Ellensburg has always been in the most advantaged position in the intercity bus network. Sitting right on Interstate 90 just on the other side of the Cascade Mountains, every single bus that crosses into Eastern Washington has to pass through the city.
This advertisment from the Ellensburg Daily Record on November 12, 1941 gives us a better idea of just how much service Ellensburg had.
You can see immediately that a lot of this service no longer exist today. Perhaps most interesting though is the former location of Ellensburg's bus depot. Unlike the modern Greyhound stop, which is located on the far western edge of town at a truck stop, the old depot was right in the middle of downtown. Located at the SW corner of Fifth Ave and Pine Street, buses were easily accesible by all residents, including students at Central Washington University which is just a short walk away. The Fifth and Pine depot was later closed on August 25, 1958. For a time, buses stopped in Ellensburg at Antlers Hotel (also located downtown). That didn't last very long though, as the Antlers Hotel later was destroyed by a massive fire in 1967. After that, Greyhound built a new depot at the NW corner of 8th Ave (now University Way) and Okanogan Street. Presumably, officials with Greyhound were satisfied with that depot for about 30 years, as it wasn't until 1997 that Greyhound announced the Okanogan Street depot was for sale. Like all the previous stop relocations, residents raised concerns that they would lose their service if a new location couldn't be found. Three years later, the last move was finally completed as Greyhound officially moved the stop to the Pilot Truck Stop (now Love's Truck Stop) in February 2000.

Q: Android Kill LifeCycle Example I was reading about the Activity Lifecycle and it says that after onPause() and onStop() the Activity/Process is killable from the System.
If I have this in onPause():
{
    Thread.sleep(20000)
}

Is the activity killable in those 20s or after it finishes the onPause() method?

A: If you have that in onPause(), you're going to be killed by the watchdog timer and see an ANR anyway.  onPause() and other lifecycle methods need to process quickly. Here's official documentation on what triggers ANR.

Amd the governing body have renewed their agreement with Wembley ensuring the sport's biggest annual day out will continue at the national stadium until at least 2027.
Details of the new competition, to be known as the 1895 Cup, will be confirmed on Sunday, November 25, along with the Betfred Championship and League One fixtures, but the RFL say it will give lower division clubs a "second chance to reach Wembley next year".
The introduction of the 1895 Cup means there will be three finals at Wembley next August with the Steven Mullaney Memorial Match - the Year Seven Champion Schools final - continuing on the big stage.
In 1997 lower division clubs which fell at the first hurdle competed in the Challenge Cup plate. Hull KR hammered Hunslet 60-14 in the final, played as a curtain-raiser to the main event at Wembley, but the competition was not repeated.
Ralph Rimmer, chief executive of the Rugby Football League, said: "This is a significant and exciting day for the Challenge Cup and the game's relationship with Wembley Stadium.
He added: "We've seen in football, with the EFL Trophy that was introduced for teams for the third and fourth tiers of their professional structure as the Associate Members' Cup in 1983, that the introduction of a realistic additional chance to reach Wembley can have a rejuvenating effect on clubs.
Confirmed Challenge Cup dates for 2019 are: Round one – January 26/27; round two - February 9/10; round three - March 9/10; round four - March 30/31; round five - April 13/14; round six - May 11/12; quarter-finals - June 1/2; semi-finals - July 27/28; final - August 24.
The first round draw, involving amateur clubs, will take place in the week beginning December 10.

Grandview, schools declare war on racism with new initiatives
Both the city of Grandview Heights and Grandview Heights Schools are exploring initiatives focusing on racial injustice.
Grandview Heights City Council is considering a resolution to declare racism as a public-health crisis.
"The resolution definitely has been inspired by everything that is happening in our nation," including the recent deaths of George Floyd in Minneapolis and Breonna Taylor in Louisville, councilwoman Melanie Houston said.
Houston is the primary sponsor of the resolution, although the other six members of council are serving as co-sponsors.
The measure speaks out against racism, but more importantly, Houston said, it acknowledges that racism and racial injustice are "pervasive in our culture and our institutions.
"Grandview is a welcoming place, but it's important that we recognize we're not immune to racial injustice and that we recognize that racial injustice is at the base of the founding of our community as well as our nation," she said.
The resolution is more than just a statement of support for a cause. It's also designed to be proactive, Houston said.
The resolution calls for the city to commit to "honestly and directly reviewing practices, systems, structures and policies ... to eliminate inequities or practices that may disparately impact persons of color."
Council's passage of the resolution would make 2021 a "Year of Racial Justice Learning," with planning to begin in summer and fall 2020 for a series of educational events about racial injustice and its impact on the history of Ohio and the Grandview community.
The educational programs will be developed in partnership with the Grandview Heights Public Library, Grandview Heights Schools, the board of health and community members, Houston said.
"We've reached out already to those groups, and they are on board with moving forward with this effort," she said.
Council held the first reading of the resolution at its June 15 meeting.
The third reading and vote on the issue are expected to take place during the Aug. 3 council meeting, Houston said.
Grandview Heights Schools Superintendent Andy Culp said he is "100 million percent" in favor of the resolution and the plan to develop an educational series.
The school district is working on its own set of initiatives to address the issues of racism and racial injustice, he said.
"We're evaluating putting together a racial injustice and inclusivity committee," Culp said. "It would include school board members, teachers, community members and students."
The committee would help establish for the district a mission statement, a vision and a set of intended outcomes to help encourage learning and build perspectives around the issues of racial injustice and inclusivity, he said.
The district's leadership team and building leadership teams also are developing a plan for the coming school year that would detail objectives to be embedded in Grandview's continuous improvement plan, Culp said.
Those objectives might include reviewing the K-12 curriculum through the lens of racial injustice, adding a Black history class, creating a speaker series to build perspective around the topics of racial injustice for students, implicit bias training for staff, and establishing partnerships with schools in central Ohio districts that have more diversity, he said.
Grandview Heights High School teachers this summer have launched a series of resources on Schoology, the district's learning-management system, and Instagram to help cultivate a discussion with and among students around the topics of justice, equality and antiracist thought and action.
"It's not structured like a traditional teacher-led class or club," said Bethany Black, a Grandview High School English teacher helping to coordinate the effort. "It's a collective of people who want to be antiracist and do antiracist work."
While teachers coordinated the initial launch of the resources on Schoology and Instagram, students have been and will be "heavily involved" moving forward, Black said.
Student responses to a survey are "guiding where the work goes," and students are asked to share resources to post.
"As a school community, we wanted to provide a place to process the thoughts and feelings our students are experiencing, as well as a place to learn, listen and self-assess," Black said.
"We've compiled these resources not as experts with the authoritative word on these topics, but rather as allies seeking to listen and learn," she said. "As such, almost all of the resources are written, created or curated by Black writers, artists and thinkers. We hope they will help us to learn, process and engage and to root out any inequities and racism in ourselves, our school and our community.
"We want to stand in solidarity and support with the Black community and amplify their voices," Black said.
Sixteen students as well as several staff members have joined the group on Schoology and other students, graduates and staff members follow the Bobcat Antiracism Collective Instagram account, Black said.
On June 26, six students participated in an online discussion of Ibram X. Kendi's article from the Atlantic, "The American Nightmare."
"We discussed the specifics of the article, broke down conversations we've been having with friends and family and discussed potential action steps," Black said.

I never rec'd a reply from anyone at all. It would have been nice to hear from someone really. Based on this I wouldn't suggest anyone living there.
I messaged this complex through the apartment guide site to contact me as I am interested in moving there but nobody called, emailed, nobody. That is not a good way to get renters.
Was looking into it but the pics made some of the rooms bigger then they appear. Staff that gave me the tour was helpful and friendly. But the pics made it look bigger than what it looked.
No one has returned any emails or calls and i have sent at least two request.

Double differential cross sections (DDCS) of electrons emitted from vapor water molecules (in vapor phase) by 2.0 MeV/u and 3.75 MeV/u bare oxygen ion impact have been measured by continuum electron spectroscopy technique. The ejected electrons were detected by an electrostatic hemispherical deflection analyzer over an energy range of 1–600 eV and emission angles from 20∘ to 160∘. The DDCS data has been compared with the continuum-distorted-wave-eikonal-initial state (CDW-EIS) approximation and a reasonable agreement was found with both version of the models i.e. post and prior version. By numerical integration of the DDCS data, the single differential cross section (SDCS) and total ionization cross section (TCS) were obtained. The obtained TCS results were compared with other available TCS results for water target within the same energy range. The total ionization cross sections values are seen to saturate as the projectile charge state (qp) increases, which is in contrast to the first-Born predicted qp2 dependence. This is also in contrast to the prediction of the CDW-EIS models.

our dear friends, jeff and erica, are having their first baby soon(these are the talented people who made that incredible video sharing our marriage story). they're the kind of people that act like they have kids, even though they haven't had any. need a babysitter? they'll come right over. overnight? no big deal! not afraid of newborns, naughty children, or dirty diapers. ok, scratch that, we're all afraid of what we might find in a diaper.too far?
my B. let's talk about the party.
i printed off a template like these onto a cream color paper and cut them out. i found little envelopes at hobby lobby and they fit right in. and twine is never a bad idea.
my secret goal for this shower was to not use book paper everything. it's tempting. but i wanted to do something different. it kind of stretches you to not rely on things that seem obvious to do. although i did throw some oversized book paper confetti on the table because i couldn't help myself.
the other goal was not to torture the men. guys generally aren't into baby showers...we must bribe them with drinks and a fire pit. it's the right thing to do.
and something shower atypical is having the party in your front yard. it just sounded fun and inviting, so we did it. there's something special about pulling up and seeing the festivities right there. it breeds excitement... and also, people aren't in your house so the mess stays outside!
oh hey, why not bring a coffee table out to the yard while you're at it?
onto the details. let's talk about napkins! borrrrring. ha. but seriously, let's discuss.
you can set a napkin out and it's perfectly great. but if you roll the napkin diagonally and tie it with ribbon/twine or tape it with some washi, it makes it feel really special. and it takes up more visual space.
in the spirit of being resourceful, i already had this fabric for the runner, and just cut it in half to make a longer runner. you've seen the cake plates from minted.com before! and hey, you've seen this kind of cake before just last week at penelope's elephant party. same idea, different theme! build on what you already have. buy some white tablecloths if you host often...great investment.
anyway, changing something old to make it new is kind to your wallet and makes you think a new thought.
dripping icing down tiers is easier that actually icing the cake so naturally i will choose to take the easy way out.
i did craft a little book to put on the top. it's totally jimmy rigged, but that is why hot glue is your friend. it just needs to last a night, not for years. and it's simply made with scrap paper.
also, i can't tell you how much i'm obsessed with these cupcake baking cups ...you don't need a cupcake pan. that means, instead of baking 12 at a time, you can put up to 35 cupcakes on your regular cooking sheet and be done baking so much faster and NO cleanup. i think they are worth their weight in gold!
don't worry about these leaning pencils. the idea is cute, the cake plate wasn't really wide enough. oh well. go with it.
i bought a bunch of reading glasses at the dollar store and use them to hang on things or just set on the table. if you have all your old glasses then yay for you, you saved yourself $5!
i recovered old books with craft paper and then used books that had hard covers which coordinated with my colors scheme. mix and match!
always prep your ingredients earlier in the day. you can caramelize apples and onions the day before and cook your bacon. then just assemble before guests arrive. i used the recipe, grilled cheese for a crowd so that i wouldn't have to stand over a hot stove. it really is genius!
the favors are just mini journals i bought at a book store for cheap, a pencil, with a stamped message on them and gold washi tape from minted. i already had the stamp, but you can buy them at any craft store.
it was such a fun night! celebrating people we love with people we love.
parties aren't just about throwing parties. they aren't about making something look awesome to impress other people. parties are really about honoring friends or family who mean so much...seeing their faces light up looking at all the details, it's a tiny bit of thankfulness expressed in cupcakes and decorations and thoughtful details. but really, all it's saying is i love you guys (even though i don't like hugging).
and also, will you still babysitt my kids when you have your own kid?
and let's get real. i didn't throw this shower by myself. don't do that! you'll stress yourself out.
thank you ashley and jeremy, steve and maria(you are a grilled cheese master!), and mark nato, my husband who i made craft with me late into the night. you guys are amazing.


Hi, I'm Ms. Sharp, a first grade teacher at Garden Place. I've been teaching first grade for 11 years and love it! First grade is a learning and growing year filled with excitement. I look forward to growing academically and socially with the first grade families at Garden Place!

The reformulation equation: how to reduce sugar and fat in baked goods
By Amy North2021-03-01T12:59:00+00:00
Bakery is battening down the hatches as Boris and co prepare to wage war on products high in fat, sugar and salt (HFSS).
At the end of 2020, amid the chaos of Brexit and the continuing pandemic, the government launched an eight-week consultation on the potential ban of bulk buy promotions on HFSS goods as well as outlawing promotional locations such as store entrances, aisle ends and checkouts. What's more, it's also been seeking views regarding the restriction of online adverts for these products.
Cakes, biscuits, morning goods, puddings and pizza are among those in the firing line should the restrictions come to pass. This leaves the baking industry with a dilemma – to reformulate or not?
Manufacturers and retailers looking to make baked goods, which heavily feature fat, sugar and salt, healthier isn't simply a response to the consultations. It's been at the forefront of minds for a long time. The problem is reducing sugar, fat and salt isn't easy – not if you want the resultant products to maintain the desired taste, texture and shelf-life.
When it comes to healthy formulation it's not simply a case of taking out an ingredient, or adding one in
"While demand for healthier alternatives is alive and kicking, consumers are not willing to compromise on taste and when it comes to healthy formulation – it's not simply a case of taking out an ingredient, or adding one in," says Deborah Alexander, head of product at Macphie. "Every ingredient performs a different function, contributing to texture or taste."
Reducing portion sizes is an obvious option. A 2018 study by the Food Standards Agency in partnership with local councils in Northern Ireland found vast differences in the sugar and calorie content of locally produced scones. Calories ranged from 154kcal to 756kcal with the heaviest scone clocking in at 233.3g and 39.2g of sugar – way above the 20g sugar average recorded by the study.
It also kickstarted a raft of smaller NPD a few years back, particularly in the biscuit category, such as the McVitie's Thins range, Maryland Thins Cookies and Oreo Thins.
Slimming down familiar products may be a viable route for new launches but runs the risk of annoying consumers when applied to existing ones.
"Health and taste/texture must come hand in hand for today's consumer: with taste being king and a drive from recent events for consumers to put their health and wellbeing under the spotlight, bakers must provide the best of both worlds," notes Michael Schofield, marketing manager at Bakels.

Sugar coat it
For those exploring healthier reformulation, there are several things to consider.
"It is now relatively easy to replace the sweetness of sugar with commonplace sweetening agents. However, the technical challenges lie in the fact that sugar is a highly functional ingredient," explains Robert Lambert, head of marketing and communications at Ulrick & Short. "In other words, the sweetness is not the only factor to consider. Volume, viscosity, mouthfeel, structure, colour, aroma, preservation, and texture of finished products are all factors that must be considered on a case-by-case basis."
Cakes, for example, require sugar to control batter viscosity, aeration, colour development during baking, crumb texture and of course sweetness, notes Campden BRI which has studied the impact of sugar replacement in most bakery products. Biscuits, meanwhile, need sugar for flow control, texture through glassy transition, colour development and flavour.
There are a host of products on the market designed to help tackle this challenge. Ulrick & Short, for example, have an Avanté range of clean label sugar replacers based on starches and flour components which were created to replace the functional properties of sugar. Tate & Lyle also have a range of soluble fibres – which include Promitor Soluble Fibre and Sta-lite Polydextrose – which can help build back mouthfeel and body in baked goods.
"Using fibre to enhance mouthfeel also has the added benefit of meeting growing demand for fibre-fortified products," says Saquib Ramday, category director for beverages, bakery and confectionery at Tate & Lyle Europe.
Reducing both fat and sugar is the most difficult to achieve
Inulin is another solution gaining traction in reduced-sugar sweet treats.
"One of the most commonly used replacement products is inulin, which also contains fewer calories than sugar. Inulin is a soluble, plant-based, non-digestible oligosaccharide and is usually extracted from chicory root," explains Lucas Westphal, senior bakery scientist at Campden BRI.
"Despite providing only one third of sucrose's sweetness, its ability to act as a bulking agent and its beneficial effect on the mouthfeel and body of the product has made it a popular sugar alternative."
However, inulin does not have the same water-binding properties that sugar does which can impact its mould-free shelf life, Westphal adds. The use of a humectant or preservatives can help with this.
It may also cause digestive discomfort for those susceptible to FODMAPS – that's fermentable oligo-, di-, mono-saccharides and polyols, he adds.
"Understanding the complex function of fat and sugar within bakery recipes starts with sensory analysis of both full-calorie and reduced calorie products," says Natalie Sheil, bakery category manager at Synergy Flavours. "Comparing sensory qualities of the two recipes allows flavourists and application technologists to develop a bespoke solution that builds on indulgence, sweetness and flavour intensity, bridging the gap in taste qualities."
Chew the fat
Fat reduction comes with its own challenges because, like sugar, it has several major functionalities in baked goods (see table below).
This challenge is particularly relevant for British favourites such as pies, pasties and sausage rolls, notes Tate & Lyle's Ramday, which all have a traditionally high fat content. Thankfully, the fillings offer some room for improvement rather than relying solely on the pastry for fat reduction.
"Changing the ratio of filling to pastry would help, but would also have significant cost implications and isn't viable for most manufacturers," notes Lambert.
Vegan-friendly ingredients may also help with this. The Greggs vegan sausage roll, for example, has 2g less fat per 100g than the standard sausage roll (which has 21g of fat per 100g). From the nutritional information alone it's not clear whether this reduction comes from the pastry or filling. Notably, there is also nearly 3g more protein per 100g in the vegan version.
"The growing plant-based trend has given rise to more reduced-fat pastry formulas. Traditionally, puff pastry is made with butter layered between sheets of pastry, but there have been further developments in vegetable-based alternatives that provide the same properties as butter without impacting the renowned flaky texture of puff pastry, as well as offering a lower fat content," adds Ramday.
A fat lot of good
There's a fat chance of creating a well-rounded baked product without the use of butter, oil or plant-based alternative. After all, it's a core component.
"Because of fat's range of functional properties and its significant contribution to the quality of bakery products, it is important to ensure that all technical roles are accounted for in a reduced-fat formulation or in a product that contains fat-substitutes," explains Lucas Westphal, senior bakery scientist at Campden BRI.
Here's what to consider when reducing fat in baked goods:
Major functionalities of fats in baked goods
Aeration and stability
Improved retention of gases released from leavening agents. Reduction of gas losses and better expansion of bread, cakes and biscuits. Together with sugar, fats provide a matrix that helps to trap air in cakes.
Dough handling
Reduces the stickiness of dough to machines and surfaces and therefore improves the processability, especially in moulded biscuits.
Enriching
Fats serve as a carrier of flavours. Additionally, some fats are highly flavoured, such as butter, and play an important role to define the flavour of cakes and biscuits.
The right fat type can achieve a desired short and crumbly texture in biscuits and cookies. High levels of fat prevent the undesired development of gluten in biscuits and cakes. Low levels of fat in bread doughs improves the loaf volume and achieves a finer crumb structure.
Butter gives a distinctive yellow colour in biscuits or cookies and helps with browning. Other fat types can be used if a more neutral colour is desired.
Fat is a hydrophobic molecule and prevents the migration of moisture into biscuits and increases their shelf-life. Other products, such as bread and cakes, retain their softness for longer if the right amount and type of fat is used.

All or nothing?
The difficulty really presents itself when manufacturers try to do too much at once.
"Reducing both fat and sugar is always the most difficult to achieve as often fat or sugars are interchangeable – reducing one may mean increasing the other," explains Abigail Shirley, category manager UK & Ireland at Dawn Foods.
There are other things to consider, such as cost. However, there is some debate as to whether healthy reformulation drives costs up or down.
"Often reducing fat and sugar in products incurs a cost increase as the replacement ingredients are more expensive. It is a careful balancing act trying to reduce fat and sugar whilst keeping products good value for money," says Shirley.
Campden BRI's Westphal notes that this can be the case when more than one ingredient is needed to replace sugar. It also runs the risk of "negatively affecting consumer acceptability" due to the number of ingredients that need to be listed on the label.
However, Ulrick & Short's Lambert insists that "healthy reformulation doesn't have to squeeze margins for manufacturers", adding that the firm's Delyte fat replacers can save manufacturers money when applied at certain percentages, and they are replacing premium ingredients such as double cream.

Dawn Foods meanwhile advocates for ready-made solutions – of which there are several choices in the marketplace. It has a reduced sugar and fat Crème Cake mix, which it says is ideal for muffins, sheet cakes and sandwich cakes, and contains 30% less fat and sugar than standard Dawn mixes.
A 30% reduction is also the magic number for Macphie which offers reduced sugar cake and muffin mixes, available in plain and chocolate variants. They contain no artificial sweeteners and instead use a 'natural vegetable fibre replacement'.
CSM Bakery Solutions is also looking to enter the arena with a 30% reduced sugar cake mix, comparable to its Craigmillar's Crème Cake Mixes, later this year.
Often reducing fat and sugar in products incurs a cost increase as the replacement ingredients are more expensive
Regardless of the route bakers and manufacturers choose to take, there is a big opportunity there for those that can succeed in creating reduced sugar and fat treats comparable to their full sugar and fat counterparts, according to Tate & Lyle's European bakery report. Almost three quarters (73%) of the 400 senior industry professionals polled said reduced sugar and calorie products are the biggest driver of growth.
"With this in mind, reformulating products to improve their health credentials should be a priority for manufacturers in the months ahead," Ramday adds.
This is echoed by Synergy Flavours' Sheil who highlights a Mintel report called 'The impact of Covid-19 on cakes and cake bars' which found that healthy options in the cake category could drive sales.
"Seventy-three per cent of consumers think that a cake can be healthy and delicious. However, there are still some challenges in creating a great tasting cake with improved nutritionals," she says.
As Lambert succinctly puts it: "There is no 'one size fits all' solution when it comes to sugar and fat reduction."
On the plus side, at least the industry has plenty of options to explore while it waits to see what action Boris and co decide to take.

New laws and code of conduct to help protect businesses from eviction
Gunduz Misiri Property Law December 6, 2021 | 0
Commercial property tenants will be further protected from eviction after the Government announced new laws and a code of practice to deal with rent arrears.
The Government announced a ban on business evictions at the start of the pandemic, which remains in force until March 2022.
Under the new temporary measures, landlords will not be able to chase business tenants for rents through the courts, in a move aimed at encouraging firms to negotiate the estimated £7 billion of debts accrued during the pandemic.
The new measures include:
Laws to provide a legally-binding process to resolve the remaining commercial rent debts
A new Code of Practice published to guide landlords and tenants in how to negotiate a way forward
Changes that will protect tenants from rent debt claims against them and help the market return to normality
The move was welcomed by the hospitality industry. Kate Nicholls, chief executive of trade body UKHospitality, said: "We share Government's view that arbitration should be a last resort and this process must take into account the exceptional and existential level of pain that hospitality businesses have faced over the last 18 months."
The measures, announced by Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng, says negotiations on arrears will be underpinned by the new Code of Practice, providing landlords and tenants with a clear process for settling outstanding debts before the new arbitration process comes into force.
The Code says tenants unable to pay in full should negotiate with their landlord in the expectation that the landlord waives some or all rent arrears where they can do so.
The Government says commercial tenants will be protected from debt claims, including County Court Judgements (CCJs), High Court Judgements (HCJs) and bankruptcy petitions issued against them concerning arrears from when they had to close for lockdowns.
From 25 March 2022, new laws introduced in the Commercial Rent (Coronavirus) Bill, introduced in Parliament, will establish a legally-binding arbitration process for commercial landlords and tenants who have not already reached an agreement, following the principles in the Code of Practice.
The Bill, expected to come into force next year, will apply to commercial rent debts related to certain businesses such as pubs, gyms and restaurants which were forced to close during the pandemic.
Debts accrued at other times will not be in the scope of the new laws, which will come into force in England and Wales, and Northern Ireland will have a power in the Bill to introduce similar legislation.

Small files and quick download/upload times – Large graphics and files slow a user's ability to upload your website. Their system may simply not be able to access your site. If you have large files you're therefore making your site inaccessible to many. Make sure your website images, files and graphics are all as small as they can be. Quick upload times are appreciated by all.
CAPTCHA – If you use a CAPTCHA to verify that a user is a person and not a computer or a program, you may be eliminating some folks from a user experience. Those who cannot read the CAPTCHA code may be unable to enter it correctly. Thus they won't have access to the information. You can add an audio element to your CAPTCHA so visitors can hear the code and then successfully type it into their computer. You receive verification. They receive access. Win/win!
Make links obvious – If you have links for visitors to click on, make sure they are obvious. This is often the most forgotten rule in web design. Website owners don't want to mess with the 'look' of a site with underlined text. But on the web, it is more important not make your users guess what is a link. Text links, embedded or otherwise, all need to stand out from the rest of the content. If not underlined, consider bold or colored formatting to set them apart.
Tagging photos – If your images don't load properly or a user has them blocked, they're missing out on part of your website. If you simply add an alt tag to your images, then everyone is able to experience your website fully. An alt tag tells your visitors what the image is if it cannot be displayed or viewed. In addition, The Americans with Disabilities Act dictates that all images must have an alt tag.
Standard files – Make sure any content published or available on your website is available in a readily accessible format. For example, PDF documents are easily viewed by any system. MS Word files, Excel, or iPage files are not.
Label all form input elements – If you have a form for visitors to fill out, make sure each element of your form is labeled. This will ensure your visitors know what information is supposed to go into the form.

Are eco-friendly vehicles better for our environment?
Some of the popularity of electric and hybrid vehicles can be attributed to the claim and fact that they are less damaging to our environment.
And while that may make sense to most, it is important to keep in mind that some of the impact from owning an eco-friendly vehicle is directly affected by external factors, like where you live. Here are some facts about eco-friendly vehicles and how they affect our environment.
The NOBL Volta Zero Electric Truck will be on the roads in 2023
Hybrid versus Electric
Cars that are purely electric have the greatest potential to have a positive impact on the effects of our transport systems. They are powered by batteries, and most can be charged by plugging them into an electrical socket. This means that any source that produces electricity, from power plants to solar panels, can be used to charge up the battery.
Hybrid cars use a traditional fossil fuel-based engine along with a secondary engine, which is usually electric or hydrogen based. This second engine kicks in to assist the battery powered motor when it needs it.
Fewer emissions
The fossil fuels burned in traditional engines generate harmful greenhouse gases that build up in our atmosphere. Electric cars don't produce any such waste and their growing popularity results in a decrease in the amount of air pollution being produced.
Hybrid cars still produce exhaust fumes, but due to having some of the power from an electric motor allows them to produce less than traditional vehicles. In addition, a hybrid car may be modified to use an alternative fuel instead of gasoline, such as ethanol and biodiesel. Using these has the potential to decrease vehicle emissions by as much as 97 percent.
Less fuel consumption
Our planet's fossil fuel supplies are not unlimited. Eventually, reserves will be used up and alternative fuel sources will no longer be an option. Electric cars don't rely on these fuels as they can be powered by renewable alternatives, which means you can save money too! Hybrid cars are still dependent on some fossil fuels, but use less and therefore have less of an impact on supply.
A hybrid car can been converted to run on renewable biofuels. These fuels can be produced from plants, which can be grown industrially to produce more. This means that, unlike oil, supplies of these fuels are not limited and will not run out. This, coupled with the low emissions caused by these fuels, makes them good for use in eco-friendly cars. An increase in popularity in biofuels could lead to a cleaner future that is less taxing on oil supplies. There is some debate on the energy consumption used to produce these fuels and if that makes them a viable replacement for fossil based fuels though.
An eco-friendly vehicle can have a great impact on the environment, depending on where you live. Some people remain sceptical of how much they really help the environment, due to factors such as where and how the materials for the batteries are derived.
Like in most things there are good reasons and for and against, however, if the goal is to reduce our reliance on fossil based non-renewable fuels, then both electric and hybrid vehicles are a step in the right direction.

Online Roulette can sometimes be considered fake and not trustworthy towards the player. This is why so many people often have their doubts about the game. The question everyone asks themselves is online roulette legit. Well the answer to that is yes it is legit, online roulette operates under a random number generator. What this means is that everyone will have the equal opportunity to win and that the odds are in everyone's favor the second the wheel starts to spin. This can be confusing but it actually allows the game to be fair to all and this makes the game un-biased.
Online roulette is played through multiple different ways. The reason for this is simple, it is to provide the players with as much gaming quality as possible for one type of game. You will be able to play American Roulette, European Roulette, French Roulette, Mini Roulette and so many others. American and European roulette are by far the most commonly played games within the online gambling industry and the reason for this is because the two games share a major resemblance in the way that they are played. The only major difference between the two games is that American Roulette has two zeros instead of one like the European version. This makes for a higher house edge which has always made the European version stand on top as the best roulette game online.
Roulette is played in a very simple way. You will just need to choose which color and number you wish to wager on, then you will have to wait for the wheel to spin. If the ball has landed on your number then you have one the round. There is plenty of different ways that you can wager within the game in order to increase your potential at winning a hand. You can out bid other players which will either make them nervous to play or make them lose the hand. You will be able to increase your potential at winning hands by looking where the random number generator might hit next on the next round. This is extremely hard to tell but after playing for years you could potentially be able to tell the routine. This of course is not a guaranteed win but none the less it does increase your chances in the long run of things.
We have designed this article in order to provide you with knowledge on online roulette. We hope that this article has shown you that Roulette is completely one hundred percent legit, that it never favors just one single player, that being able to even gain the skill to increase your chances at winning is something that takes years to learn. Roulette is mainly a game of chance and we can ensure you that no matter what you will be able to win a lot of money through playing online roulette. So look over our websites and the online casinos we promote for you. They all provide you with the game of online roulette.

India to get 5G in 2022: All you need to know
The Department of Telecommunications said that 5G trial sites have been established in several cities by Airtel, Vodafone Idea and Jio.
Atom Telecom Tuesday, December 28, 2021 - 10:42
5G services will be rolling out in several cities and metros in the country in 2022, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) announced on Monday, December 27. In a statement, the DoT said that 5G trial sites have been established in several cities by Airtel, Vodafone Idea and Jio. DoT had earlier said that 5G technology is expected to deliver 10 times better download speeds than 4G and up to three times greater spectrum efficiency.
The release also said that the indigenous 5G Test Bed project, funded by the DoT, has reached final stages and is likely to be completed by December 31, 2021. The project will provide an open 5G test bed that will enable Indian academia and industry to validate their products, prototypes and algorithms, and demonstrate various services.
> 5G services will roll out first in Gurugram, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chandigarh, Delhi, Jamnagar, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Hyderabad, Lucknow, Pune and Gandhi Nagar. These are the locations where telecom operators have established 5G trial sites.
> 5G spectrum auctions have to be held as well. In its statement, the DoT said that in September 2021 it sought recommendations from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) for the 5G spectrum auction and various modalities such as reserve price, band plan, block size and quantum of spectrum to be auctioned.
It added that the reference asked for conditions of auctions in 526-698 MHZ,700 MHZ, 800 MHZ, 900 T MHZ, 1800 MHZ, 2100 MHZ, 2300 MHZ, 2500 MHZ, 3300-3670 MHZ and 24.25-28.5 GHZ bands for 5G public as well as private 5G networks, for meeting the spectrum requirements of the industry. "Process of assignment of frequencies to TSPs (telecom service providers) would be initiated at the earliest possible," it added.
> All three major private telecom companies have been conducting trials. The DoT had granted permission for six-month trials to the companies with telecom gear makers Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung and C-DOT. In June, Jio claimed to have recorded a peak speed of 1 Gbps and Airtel is also said to have recorded the same level of peak speed in July. Reliance Jio is using its own technology as well for the 5G trials. All the private players are providing 4G services across the country at present and are gearing up for 5G services.
> 5G Test Bed: The DoT said that the indigenous 5G test bed project funded by it has reached the final stages. The eight implementing agencies – IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Madras, IIT Kanpur, IISC Bangalore, SAMEER and CEWiT – have been working over a period of 36 months.
"Costing about Rs 224 crore, the project is likely to be completed by December 31, 2021, paving the way for end-to-end testing of 5G User Equipments (UEs) and network equipment by 5G stakeholders developing 5G Products/Services/Usecases, including indigenous start-ups, SMEs, academia and industry in the country," DoT said.
> A 6G 'Technology Innovation Group' or TIG has been constituted by the DoT with the aim to co-create and participate in the development of the 6G technology ecosystem through increased participation in capability description, standards development at global standard setting bodies. 6G TIG comprises members from the government, academia, industry associations and the Telecom Standards Development Society of India (TSDSI).

Fellsmere Elementary School third-graders showed impressive gains in reading proficiency this year, and one of the contributing factors was the product of a newly forged relationship – Cadets & Kids – between the 3rd graders at Fellsmere Elementary in Amy Shoemaker's class and recruits attending the Criminal Justice Institute Basic Recruit Training Program at Indian River State College.
The unlikely study buddies met through the efforts of Fellsmere Police Chief Keith Touchberry to improve relations between the community and law enforcement.
As the program evolved, the recruits attended "lunch and learns," took a field trip to Fellsmere where they spoke with government officials, community leaders and business owners. To further enhance the program, Touchberry contacted Ramon Echeverria, Fellsmere Elementary principal.
Spector explained that by giving the recruits the opportunity to interact with the community, they see they are more than just a uniform and badge, that law enforcement officers are real people and they are there to help.
"It's not just about putting on a uniform and getting in a car with a red and blue light bar on top, handling calls, writing traffic tickets and investigating accidents. Law enforcement officers spend more time in communication with people, interacting and assisting people more than they do anything else in the course of their careers.
The recruits worked as a team as they went through basic recruit training and shared their successes with the children, who were so motivated by their buddies they adopted the future law enforcement officers' motto: "11 in 11 out; together we will fight it out." The two groups of students communicated throughout the year via cards, letters, emails and videos.
The Learning Alliance provided instructional support, and the Exchange Club of Fellsmere purchased headphones to help the Owls prepare for the Florida State Assessment and support the Indian River County School District's Moonshot Moment goal of 90 percent literacy by the end of the third grade.
All but one student passed the FSA in Shoemaker's class according to Fellsmere principal Ramon Echeverria. "The recruits are part of the big picture; they were part of the many other factors that contributed for us to excel this year." Other factors were a more precise curriculum, working with an interventionist provided by The Learning Alliance, parent support and the teachers' willingness to look at the data and tweak their instruction.
This is a true partnership between the Fellsmere Police Department, Fellsmere Elementary School, Indian River State College, the Exchange Club of Fellsmere and, of course, The Learning Alliance Moonshot Moment, noted Chief Touchberry.
"We're going to do Cadets & Kids with the entire third grade at Fellsmere Elementary this year. Every kid in third grade is going to get a 'thinking cap' thanks to the Exchange Club," said Chief Touchberry.

Abstract : Hemorrhage accounts for nearly 50% of death on the battlefield and the majority of these fatalities occur before the wounded Soldier reaches a surgical facility. The natural ability of blood to clot rapidly and seal the bleeding sites is inadequate to control a more severe hemorrhage and is often diminished after traumatic injuries. Therefore, the use of blood clotting drugs/devices is essential to stop the severe hemorrhage and prevent death of patients. The identification of new technologies to stop severe hemorrhage is a major topic for this symposium.

Steve Moore is an insanely talented multi-instrumentalist: experimental lap steel, lead guitar and reverby banjo run through some spooky sounding pedals. The group leans heavy into bone-chilling three-part harmonies with powerhouse bass player, Christine McAllister. Vintage amps and instruments, matching western shirts and a heavy 60's & 70's roots, bluegrass & country influence with future-forward original lyrics and avant-garde arrangements of time-honored classics. This is what country music should sound like in 2019.

In Mrs. Wines' fifth grade classroom at Connections Charter School recently, 21 students were hard at work drawing pictures of ʻAlalā, the Hawaiian crow that's been extinct in the wild for nearly two decades. Their drawings are part of their assignment to come up with Hawaiian names for the next set of 12 birds scheduled to be released later this year.
The students attend Connections Public Charter School. Rachel Kingsley, Education and Outreach Associate for the ʻAlalā Project, said "This class was chosen to participate in this activity because of their connection to the ʻAlalā." The class has been studying the behavior and biology of ʻAlalā for two consecutive school years. Kingsley added, "Itʻs exciting that they have such a connection to the birds and really want to be involved." A year and a half ago, they helped renowned artist Patrick Ching paint an ʻAlalā mural on the back of their school building in downtown Hilo. In April the students will visit the San Diego Zoo Global's Keauhou Bird Conservation Center on Hawai'i island, where more than 125 'Alala are housed for conservation breeding under the Hawai'i Endangered Bird Conservation program. Conservation efforts for the ʻAlalā have been underway since 2002 when the last pair was observed in the wild and became extinct.
Two releases last year into the State of Hawai'i's Pu'u Maka'ala Natural Area Reserve has resulted in 11 birds thriving, foraging for native foods, expanding their range and taking evasive action toward their only natural predator, the endangered 'Io or native Hawaiian hawk. These themes are captured in the student's work and in the names that were selected for a community online voting process, occurring from April 9-14 (details on how to vote below).

There is no denying the big changes that have taken place over the last year for medical marijuana patients here in Colorado. Five years ago the industry here consisted of a random assortment of intimate little medical only facilities, dedicated to helping their patients. In the past year that small assortment has transformed into a veritable menagerie of different recreational storefronts. While this is undeniably appealing to many medical patients out there that don't want to go through the process of attaining a med card, it's also been a drag for many out there that have seen their local medical dispensaries turn into traffic-filled and mostly rec-oriented hotspots. The places where they have been comfortable visiting for years to pick up their medication have now tuned into seas of strange faces with higher prices to boot. I personally find it refreshing to visit locations that have decided to maintain their medical status in lieu of becoming a public 21+ shop. It's even more refreshing to visit a medical only dispensary like The Retreat. Just one out of nine stores in the Strainwise chain, the company has chosen to keep medical only locations in order to meet the needs of their patients. Located right off of Colorado Boulevard, The Retreat is in a prime location to serve the still growing number of medicinal marijuana patients in the State.
In many cases in the past when I'v e visited a dispensary that is part of a large chain I've found them to be relatively sterile, bland, and vaguely impersonal. I found that this wasn't the case for The Retreat: a Strainwise Dispensary. First off, and with a touch of difficulty, I found a place to park in the bustling strip mall that The Retreat calls home. I was immediately pleased by the decor and general ambiance of their waiting area when I walked in. I won't deny the first thing that hit my nose when entering The Retreat wasn't the familiar minty herbal smell I'm used to, but was instead the smell of fresh cheesy pizza. I was greeted at the front counter by Kelsey, who reported that I had sadly just missed lunch time (pizza smell explained). Only somewhat dismayed by the fact that I had come too late for pizza, I made up for my losses by heading back to their bud room to experience some of The Retreat's equally delicious cannabis smells. I was greeted by my budtender Kevin and a great looking line-up of buds on the shelf. With a hint of skill and a dash of panache, Kevin most graciously presented me with my first strain to explore, Tiger's Milk. Tiger's Milk came off as being a pale green color simply due to the outrageous amounts of trichomes sticking over every square nanometer of this heavy hitting hybrid strain. Next Kevin grabbed a jar of their CBD rich Kush, perfectly bred to contain all the pain fighting goodness that cannabis is known for. After I took a deep inhale of this skunky, sage-laden indica, it was easy to see why they were already scraping the bottom of the jar on this one during my visit. Lastly I investigated their OJ Ghost. A dark and dashingly bold indica dominant hybrid, OJ Ghost has the classic smell of a diesel, but somehow hits the nose in a way that it doesn't come off smelling chemically (go figure). A well rounded selection to say the least. If you're looking for a quick and easy way to smoke your medication, The Retreat also carries a selection of 1g pre-rolls, to nip your ailments right in the bud (har har).
After I finished poking my nose through their strains, Kevin brought out a few concentrates for me to look at. First and foremost was their 100% bud run (concentrate produced with buds instead of shake) shatter, produced by TerpX. Although I would have loved to get a little stronger scent from this shatter, I couldn't deny its impeccable translucence and unadulterated appearance. I have no doubt in my mind that this shatter would be one of the smoothest smokes in town. Kevin also showed me some of their awesome looking strain-specific shatters from TC Labs as well, which were equally attractive and a fair bit more aromatic than their TerpX counterparts. My favorite concentrate, however, was their budder produced for them by Colorado Concentrates. Along with some solvent-less hash, some cold ethanol inactivated syringes from Gold Dragon, and some activated oil sticks from Keef Cola, and you've got the recipe for a perfect selection of concentrates. Top it off with a few vape pen options from Old Boi and some amazing custom-produced "Strainwise" dab rigs and voilà, instant pain relief for all those cannabis users who utilize concentrates to alleviate their ailments! If smoking isn't your thing, and you're looking for a way to apply marijuana topically to those pesky aches and pains, the Retreat has your back with patches and pens from Mary's Medicinals as well as some extra soothing lip balm produced by Mary Jane's.
Now time for the edibles. I was already thoroughly hungry from the smell of fresh pizza in the lobby, and Kevin didn't help my situation at all when he started to show me some of the edible options available at The Retreat. Aside from have the basics from Cheeba Chew, Blue Kudu, IncrEdible, Edipure, Dixie, Cannapunch, and Chai High, they also had a few rarer options. A real crowd pleaser is their hazelnut baklava from Love's Oven. If you've never had baklava, then you're missing out. Rich flakey layers of buttery filo dough come together with honey and nuts to form a truly sinful sweet treat in this amazing dessert. Mile High Suckers, also made an appearance on their shelf. They are one of my favorite treats out there due to their sugar-free options, amazing flavors, and dedication to accurately testing their products for precise potency. Just when I thought I couldn't get any hungrier, Kevin pointed out the Wana hot chocolate mixes. He then had the audacity to suggest putting a touch of IncrEdibles mint chocolate inside your cup of hot medicated coco, to create a marriage of minty hot chocolate that is sure to melt away your woes and pains, but probably not your waistlin e. Still I can't help but think of that concoction as being the ultimate cup of hot cocoa so sit down next to the fire with.
I must admit to being pleasantly surprised by my first visit to a Strainwise dispensary. I encountered a lot more character than I would have expected and I can imagine that their other locations most likely reflect the same level of unique ambiance that I encountered at The Retreat. It's nice to know for all the medical card holders in the state that there will be dispensaries out there that are still dedicated to giving their patients the time, care, and quality products that they deserve. While I would recommend The Retreat as a great place to investigate for all red (or purple) card holders out there, I want to emphasize again that for you dabbers out there, this is a great location to stop by to get some amazing looking concentrates. Saying my farewells, I went back through the lobby one last time and encountered that fresh-baked smell of pizza, and went home to become fresh-baked myself and perchance sit down with a nice book for a fun filled evening of minty hot chocolate drinking by the fire.
If you get an opportunity to visit The Retreat: a Strainwise Dispensary of Denver, Colorado let them know you heard of them through the Dope Directory, and please give them a rating.


Running a trucking business is a little like playing football: Practice is never the same as the big game.
After playing tight end for the University of Arkansas Razorbacks from 1994-98, where he said Houston Nutt and Danny Ford taught him a lot about football and life, he took the wheel from his father at Star Transportation LLC, when the company had just six trucks.
Heringer said he tried to not make the same mistake twice and has since expanded the company to a fleet of 105 trucks and more than 200 employees, which he manages with an attitude of service and efficiency first.
The winning industry leader served as the president of the Arkansas Oil Marketers Association in 2010 and continues to serve on its board. Heringer is also a member of the Arkansas Trucking Association board.
Through the ATA, Heringer met FedEx Freight President Patrick Reed, who he said is a great resource to him the and the association because he shares his wealth of knowledge to help improve the trucking industry.

Een wijnsuggestie is een aanbeveling die wordt gedaan om een bepaald gerecht met een bepaalde wijn te combineren. Doel van een wijnsuggestie is om mensen een leidraad te geven welke wijn het beste bij hun gerecht past.

Hoewel men spreekt over een "wijnsuggestie" zal een gastvrouw of -heer eveneens andere dranken kunnen aanbevelen. Het zou ook goed een gedistilleerde drank, bier of niet-alcoholische drank kunnen zijn. Men spreekt dan eigenlijk over een dranksuggestie. Specifieke biersuggesties kunnen worden gegeven door een zytholoog.

Aanbevelingen
Het combineren van wijnen en gerechten vraagt de nodige aandacht omdat ze grote invloed op elkaar hebben. Vooral een negatieve invloed op de smaak van gerecht of wijn kan beter voorkomen worden. In het verleden kon vertrouwd worden op lokale gebruiken. Tegenwoordig is de rol van de sommelier of de wijnadviseur veel belangrijker. De smaak van wijnen en gerechten is minder voorspelbaar, mede door de toepassing van moderne technieken. Tegenwoordig staat zelfs op bijna elke fles wijn de toepassingsmogelijkheden voor het gebruik in combinatie met een gerecht. Ook in veel supermarkten is tegenwoordig kant-en-klare informatie verkrijgbaar over bijvoorbeeld wijnsmaken en geschikte combinaties.

Kunst en wetenschap
Hoewel gevoel een belangrijk aspect vormt van een culinaire ervaring, is hier ook wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar gedaan. Nederland kent een wetenschappelijk afgestudeerde gastronoom die van wijn-spijscombinaties een wetenschappelijke studie maakte. Peter Klosse, een van Nederlands grootste autoriteiten op dit gebied, schreef hier verschillende boeken over waaronder 'Smaak' en 'Het Proefboek'. Kernpunt bij zijn filosofie is het analyseren van het product, de wijn om vervolgens de perfecte combinatie te laten afhangen van zo veel mogelijk overeenstemmingen op het gebied van mondgevoel en smaakrijkdom. Toch blijken de perfecte combinaties ook een kwestie van gevoel. De invloed van persoonlijke voorkeur en situatie is niet uit te sluiten.
