‹ The Cold War in the 1950s
John F. Kennedy ›
To say the least, it was incredible. The news relayed by the voice on the other end of the phone line hit the president of the San Gabriel Valley Radio Club like a blow to the head. Too incredible, Henry Richter hoped, to be true.
Hope was something Richter knew quite well. It went with the job. Not only as president of a local ham radio club; although you always hoped the guy on the other side of the world talking to you over the shortwave would have something interesting to say. No, Richter's familiarity with hope came as a charter member of the nascent space exploration industry.
"Some of the things that occurred during that period I can recall like they happened yesterday," said 80-year-old Richter. "There was a warning that it was going to happen, but they were so secretive about everything. Why would they change now?"
The warning materialized in the form of a phone call from Richter's boss, William Pickering, the director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Pickering was attending meetings in Washington when he heard from a Russian scientist that the Soviets would launch a satellite in the near future.
On October 4 at 10:28 p.m. Moscow time, a brilliant and deafening detonation of smoke and flame illuminated the Soviet Union's rocket test site near Tyuratam, Kazkhistan, as the 32 nozzles announced the rise of the Russian R-7 intercontinental ballistic missile. 295 seconds and 142 miles later, the last of the R-7's engines shut down for good. Soon after, pneumatic locks were activated, a nosecone fairing separated, and an antenna spike was released. Then, in one final act that signaled the dawn of the space age, a pushrod connected to a bulkhead of the R-7 was activated, shoving a 183-pound beach ball-sized aluminum sphere into the cold, harsh blackness of space. Sputnik had arrived.
"I was in my office in Building 125 at JPL when Dr. Pickering called again," said Richter. "I do not recall exactly what was said but it was a short conversation about Sputnik. I then went to a radio receiver and tried to dial it in."
The Russians were advertising that signals from their satellite could be received on a frequency 20 MHz (megacycles). But all Richter could dial in was static. He immediately suspected the high-tension wires located on a hill above JPL were blocking out the frequency. So the U.S. Navy veteran and Caltech graduate got on the phone, but not to his boss Pickering this time. Instead, he called a friend, and more importantly, a member of the San Gabriel Valley Radio Club.
"Bob Legg had a lot of ingenuity and his own ham setup, and he lived in nearby Temple City," said Richter. "At the time there were no high tension wires near Bob's home, so he had a clear shot at receiving a signal."
The one thing Legg did not have was an antenna that could pick up transmissions on 20 MHz. So the resourceful Legg looked around his house and found something he thought could do the job: a wire-mesh mosquito screen on one of his windows. He ran a wire from the screen to his radio, dialed in 20 MHz and listened.
Amateur radio operators could hear these beeps from Sputnik as it passed overhead.
"When Bob called me back and said he'd heard it I sort of went numb," said Richter. "America had been working toward being first in space. The United States had plans on launching a Navy satellite called Vanguard in the coming months. And the Russians had beaten us to it."
As stunned as Richter felt, he knew he still had a job to do. There were many questions to be answered. What could our Cold War enemies do that we could not? What exactly was it that was placed in an orbit above our heads? And most immediate, what was the significance of the continuous string of pulse transmissions radiating out of Sputnik? Richter knew his country's leaders would need these answers as soon as possible. He also knew that JPL was one of the few places in the nation with personnel who had the knowledge, training and equipment to tell them.
Richter and three others piled JPL's best radio gear into a trailer, hooked it to a JPL truck and headed as far away from those infernal high-tension wires as they could. An hour later they pulled up to the substation of the Temple City Sheriff's Department.
"We went here because they were part of a disaster preparedness group. I knew they had a ham radio station and that they could get clear signals from their location," said Richter, "which was appropriate because this certainly qualified as a disaster in my book. Furthermore, the hams had built a Microlock Station there in anticipation of tracking our American satellite."
Moments after arrival, the JPLers hooked into the station's power supply, powered up their best receiver, adjusted their antenna and waited. They soon became among the first humans to hear the 'beep-beep-beep' that was announcing the birth of the space age.
In the name of national security Richter and company soon took over the basement of the sheriff's building and set up for the long haul.
"It came in loud and clear," said Richter. "But we did more than listen. We took audio on a reel-to-reel recorder and rolls of strip chart plots of these first signals. We were looking for anything, trying to decipher the significance of what Sputnik was sending out."
Over the next days, weeks and even months, the significance of Sputnik's signals was fiercely debated. Some scientists stated the space transmissions were simply a carrier signal, intended to assist in the confirmation and tracking of the satellite. Others charged that the Soviets were receiving scientific information from Sputnik in code.
While the debate raged, Richter and his group concentrated on the job at hand. Ensconced in the sheriff's basement, they did not immediately appreciate the effect the Soviet achievement had on world opinion. As they monitored and documented the satellite's orbits, the word Sputnik itself, which means "companion" in Russian, quickly became part of the American lexicon. Sputnik was on the front page of just about every major newspaper in America. Within days of their discovery, a wave of VIPs began streaming in to the Temple City Sheriff's Department to hear for themselves what America's Cold War enemies had achieved.
"JPL and Caltech staff were dropping by to get an earful and it soon got pretty crowded in that basement," said Richter. "Then the media came, including the three networks. There were so many people crowded into that small room, it got to be too much. So I said the next guy to come down those stairs was getting kicked out. Sure enough, here comes someone and without looking I told him to get the heck out. Turns out, it was the Under-Sheriff Pitchess of Los Angeles County. It was his station and he could have kicked me out, but instead he turned around and left his own basement; more than once he referred to that incident publicly. He was a proud American and knew we were doing important work."
JPL's important work in the basement of the Temple City Sheriff's Department would go on for several months. But well before Sputnik gave its final beep 22 days later, Richter was pulled away to work on another important project. On behalf of JPL and his boss Dr. William Pickering, Richter crisscrossed the country, representing the team that would find the perfect instruments to go into a JPL-made satellite.
The first chance to reach the high ground of space came two months and two days later.
At 11:45 AM on December 6, 1957, a nationwide audience watched as the Navy's Vanguard rocket, the United States first orbital space attempt, exploded on the pad. America's next shot at the high ground came from JPL and the US Army's Explorer program.
"Explorer was a crash program," said Richter. "We were determined to get this thing up one way or another and Sputnik merely pushed the button."
On January 31, 1958, a Juno rocket climbed eastward into the night's sky over Cape Canaveral, Florida. Within minutes, the Juno and its cargo, the JPL-manufactured satellite called Explorer 1, disappeared over the horizon -- its fate unknown.
"I was at the Cape that night waiting for our JPL listening post on the West Coast to confirm that they heard signals coming down from the satellite," said Richter. "We had all these listening posts and the first call I get is from one of my club's ham radio operators saying they were receiving Explorer 1. My guys were first to hear we made it, that we made it for America."

Carefully selected away from tectonically active areas and corrected for postglacial rebound (the vertical motion of the Earth's crust since the last deglaciation), a limited number (up to 24) of long term records have been used to estimate the linear trends in global sea level. Use of the limited number of historical records mostly located in Northern Hemisphere could lead to a possible larger error source for global sea level changes estimates due to poor spatial sampling of the tide gauges. If we are aiming to understand the non uniformed changes in global or regional sea level for the past 200 years, or to understand the role of inter-annual, decadal, or multi-decadal variability then there is a challenge to use a substantial amount of data collected by different countries that is available from the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level.

National Dance Theatre Company of Jamaica celebrates West Indian culture
By Brooklyn Paper
Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts at Brooklyn College completes its 2009-2010 World Stages: Dance series with the return of the National Dance Theatre Company of Jamaica (NDTC), March 6 at 8 p.m. and March 7 at 2 p.m. for two programs of New York City premieres celebrating West Indian culture. The two shows have different repertoires.
NDTC returns to Brooklyn with a new generation of young artists who, since the ensemble's last visit two years ago, have come to embody the company's dual principles of renewal and continuity, working to integrate a strong hold on the ancestral legacy of Jamaican music, movement and rituals with a ready response to contemporary life.
For the company's 2010 Brooklyn appearance, renowned Haitian dancer and choreographer Jeanguy Saintus creates a new work entitled Incantation, a tribute to the Haitian people inspired by the recent tragedy in Port au Prince. The piece draws on traditional Haitian lore.
NDTC's 2010 repertoire also includes Asi Somos by the Cuban-born Arsenio-Andrade Calderon (a strong, athletic dance work featuring an all-male cast); Vignettes of Life, a modernesque suite of solos and duets by Clive Thompson and Tintinnabulum, a social-commentary piece on sons and mothers, peer group pressure and youth violence created by Artistic Director and principal choreographer Rex Nettleford.
Both presentations will end with the newly designed work by Nettleford entitled Apocalypse, which explores the anguish and the hope of contemporary Caribbean life.
As in past seasons, the dancers are accompanied by the NDTC Singers.
Performances are at the Walt Whitman Theatre at Brooklyn College, 2900 Campus Road; visit www.brooklyncenteronline.org or call 718-951-4500. Tickets are $40 and $30.

No deal, the Norway model, the Canada model, Theresa May's deal, Remain - how the different Brexit options compare
After Theresa May's defeat Parliament remains fundamentally split over what form of Brexit would be best for Britain.
Wednesday, 16 January, 2019, 12:04
But how do the options differ?
Theresa May's Withdrawal Agreement
Despite the huge defeat the agreement may still be on the table in an amended form as Mrs May seeks cross-party talks for "genuinely negotiable" solutions she can take to Brussels.
From the start of the Brexit process, Mrs May had insisted that she wanted a "bespoke" deal tailored specifically for the UK and not an off-the-shelf model shaped around arrangements offered to other trading partners.
The Withdrawal Agreement reached in November guarantees the rights of UK citizens currently living in the EU27 states and European nationals in Britain, settles the UK's outstanding liabilities to Brussels budgets for a payment of around £39 billion and takes Britain out of the EU single market and customs union, the common agriculture and fisheries policies and the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.
It offers a 21-month transition period after the official Brexit date of March 29 2019 to prepare for the new arrangements.
Alongside this is a Political Declaration agreed by the UK and EU27, setting out a common determination to forge a close future relationship in areas such as trade and security. If this cannot be secured by the end of the transition in December 2020, the period can be extended by a further two years. If the transition concludes without a deal, the so-called "backstop" must be triggered, keeping the whole UK in a customs union with the remaining EU to prevent a hard border in Ireland.
No deal
If no alternative to Mrs May's deal is agreed, the default option is for the UK to leave the EU without a deal on March 29. This would mean there would be no transition period, and individuals and businesses would have to adapt immediately to new arrangements.
The UK would leave EU structures such as the single market and customs union and would fall back on World Trade Organisation rules, which require tariffs on many imports and exports.
Experts and businesses have warned that an abrupt withdrawal could cause chaos, with speculation over gridlock at the Channel ports, empty supermarket shelves, a collapse in the value of the pound and even aeroplanes being stopped from flying.
But advocates of no deal say the warnings are exaggerated and the UK would benefit by being able immediately to strike new trade deals around the world.
Brexiteers argue that the UK could save its £39 billion "divorce bill" by leaving without a deal, but this could be challenged by the EU in the courts.
The 'Canada option'
The holy grail for some Eurosceptics is an ambitious Canada-style free trade agreement with the EU, removing tariffs from almost all imports and exports of goods, offering co-operation on standards and allowing mutual recognition of professional qualifications.
A Canada-style agreement would allow the UK to leave the EU institutions, end freedom of movement and strike new trade deals elsewhere in the world.
Critics say that the model would severely restrict access to European markets for the UK's vital service industries - particularly the financial sector. But the option's fans say services could be included in what they term a Canada-plus-plus-plus deal.
Ministers warn that it would not resolve the backstop problem, as Brussels would still demand the North remains in the EU customs area to avoid a hard border.
The 'Norway option'
Some supporters of a "soft Brexit" argue that the UK should take its lead from the members of the European Free Trade Association (Efta) - Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland - and seek a close relationship with the EU short of full membership.
As a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), Norway enjoys full access to the internal market for most trade in goods, but must implement the bulk of Brussels regulations without having a say in its decisions. It also pays substantial sums into the EU budget.
Switzerland, which is outside the EEA, has a more remote relationship with the EU, based on dozens of bilateral agreements which must be constantly updated. The Swiss are required to follow EU laws in areas which give them access to the single market but make much lower contributions to Brussels budgets. Crucially, the arrangements do not cover services.
Proposals for a "Norway-style" option often envisage a single market and customs union relationship with the EU after Brexit, but the Efta states are actually not part of the customs union. It is far from clear that existing Efta members would accept a UK application to join.
If the UK chose to abandon Brexit - either through a second referendum or by simply revoking its Article 50 notice of withdrawal - before March 29, it would retain its membership of the EU under existing terms.
Trade with EU neighbours would continue to be free of tariffs and non-tariff barriers under single market rules, and UK and EU nationals would retain the right to work and settle in one another's countries. The UK would keep its seat in the EU's decision-making bodies and hasty arrangements would have to be made for the election of MEPs in May.
The UK would be subject to ECJ rulings and would continue to make contributions to Brussels budgets, currently running at around £9 billion a year net, but the "divorce bill" would no longer be payable. Future trade deals would be made as part of the EU bloc and not bilaterally.
If the UK applied to rejoin after the Article 50 deadline has passed, it would have to go through a lengthy accession process which would almost certainly involve giving up the rebate negotiated by Margaret Thatcher, as well as opt-outs in areas such as justice and home affairs. It could be required to join the Schengen free movement area and the euro as part of the price of readmission.

What is VoLTE and what do you need to use it?
The VoLTE stands for Voice Over LTE. LTE is a network that belongs to the fourth generation of telecommunication. The earlier generations 2G and 3G, use two separate subnetworks for voice and data, while LTE has only a data network. This brings a new way for voice calls to work. A virtual voice circuit needs to be set up over a packet network.
Before VoLTE, a subscriber could use a data network for web browsing, and other activities over the Internet. The VoLTE opens new options for subscribers and network operators. The best part is that now operators no need to maintain two separate networks one for data and the other for the call.
To access Voice Over LTE, you need to upgrade the phone and need to check with the mobile operator. These days most mobile operators support it.
What is VoLTE?
As we have talked about, it's voice over a mobile data network. What will change if you get such a thing? It's the speed it can offer which may bring a richer experience. In an earlier network, the voice was using the SS7 network. In that, for a call, there was a dedicated E1/T1 circuit for voice packets transfer. Although the bandwidth was reserved, it was with an upper limit (not so high).
With LTE, data speed enhanced as compared to the previous generations, but the call was still on a 3G network. When there is a voice call, the phone switches to 3G, and after the call again switch back to 4G-LTE. Makes a temporary disconnect with the data. With VoLTE, there will be no such thing.
With VoLTE a call can use much more bandwidth, which results in High Definition(HD) video and audio calls.
Advantages of VoLTE-
The call connects much faster and the call quality is much better because of the faster speed.
You can browse data and at the same time can talk to someone over Voice.
Brings more services as all have moved to the IP protocols for telephony.
Disadvantages –
Can not work on a basic phone, those do not have data capability at all. A mobile operator always needs to set a parallel network for Voice at least in some area.
What does a subscriber need to use VoLTE?
For a mobile subscriber, the phone should be VoLTE capable. If not he has to upgrade the phone. Once you are sure that the serving mobile operator supports the feature, you need to enable it in the handset.
How to enable it on Android?
What mobile operators need to support the VoLTE?
Looks that it's very simple to support the new calling feature. But it is not so. First, an operator upgraded to 4G-LTE from the previous 3G. The up-gradation process includes purchasing spectrum, deploying radio, and wired network components. Newer network components bring new protocols. For example, the diameter is the new protocol in 4G roaming while in 3G SS7 was the protocol.
Now data is on with over 4G, but still, voice uses 3G fallback. With Voice Over LTE, no more fallback will happen. But require new network components with additional protocols. IMSI is the core network for VoWifi. It uses primarily Session Initiation Protocol and with other protocols e.g GTP.
Within IMS, sim becomes ISIM and it does on IMS network attach for Voice Call, SMS, USSD, etc.
Is WiFi calling is same as VoLTE?
Looks like both are IP-based but on a network level, both are far apart. The WiFi network is a non-3GPP network, that requires an additional ePDG to support Wifi Calling. While VoLTE uses the same 3GPP network.
In VoLTE, the data is consumed from the subscriber data bundle, while in WiFi Calling data is used from the WiFi account.

June 15, 2015 – Monona, WI – Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne) and SHINE Medical Technologies, Inc. announced today that Argonne successfully demonstrated the production, separation and purification of molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) from SHINE's innovative liquid target. The resulting Mo-99 product purity was equivalent to the Mo-99 used in the supply chain today. The demonstration—known as Mini-SHINE— uses the same process flows that will be used in the SHINE manufacturing facility and further validates SHINE's technical approach.
Phoenix Nuclear Labs has previously demonstrated the other novel part of the SHINE process by operating the particle accelerator at full-scale production levels.
Earlier tests performed by Los Alamos National Laboratory found near-complete recovery of the Mo-99 from SHINE's liquid target, and that this yield did not change when the target solution was recycled.
Now, Argonne has taken testing of the liquid target a step further by building a tip-to-tail pilot demonstration. The Mini-SHINE test validates every step of the production chemistry: from plant- relevant irradiation conditions through purification of the Mo-99 to current industry standards. The work is supported by the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration's Mo-99 Program.
Mo-99 is used in over 40 million medical imaging procedures each year, primarily in stress tests to detect heart disease and bone scans to determine the stage of cancer progression. Despite constituting approximately half of the world's demand for Mo-99, the US does not produce any Mo-99 domestically and imports 100 percent of its supply from foreign nuclear reactors. Many of these reactors are beyond their original design life and scheduled to be shut down in the coming years. If they are not replaced, this could lead to medical isotope shortages and deny patients access to life-saving procedures.
The SHINE facility is expected to begin commercial production in 2018 and will be able to produce enough Mo-99 every year to supply two-thirds of the US patient population.


Snapchat Just Changed the Advertising Game.
By now, you all know what Snapchat is and the immense advertising and marketing potential it offers companies that can utilize it properly. Just to refresh your memory: they're running the social media game right now and their advertising model just changed so everyone can get involved.
There are 3 ways for your business to advertise on Snapchat: through sponsored ads, sponsored lenses, or through their newest addition, ON DEMAND GEOFILTERS.
Snapchat's advertising models are all fairly new and have garnered the reputation of being pretty pricy and VERY exclusive – costing upwards of $450,000 a day to rack up 11 million views on week days using their sponsored lenses (or the branded filters you sometimes see while editing your snaps), and even more dough to run a sponsored video ad. Their newest ad model, on-demand Geofilters, is changing all of that.
Pretty cool, right? Well here's what's even better. It can fit into your advertising budget. You can buy On-Demand Geofilters for an event or even an entire block — for an hour or up to thirty days! Pricing starts at $5, and depends on a few factors including, among others, the size of your geofence and the time period you've chosen. So of course, we had to give it a try.
The day after the update was released, we submitted our Geofilter for approval. The entire process from designing the geofilter to getting it approved was incredibly simple and took about an hour to complete from start to finish. We decided to promote one of our local clients, The Forum, a local shopping community in Wilmington, but of course we had to be a little controversial. We chose to have our filter featured at one of our local competitors location.
We didn't get a email reminding us that our filter would be up, but once we got to the competitor's location we chose in the set up process, we were excited to see that it WORKED! We will let you guys know how in depth the metrics are for this feature in a following post. As of now it seems like you have to wait until your campaign ends to obtain the data.
Awesome, right? So how can your business utilize these awesome and cost effective GeoFilters?
All in all, this new feature is incredible. It raises awareness, generates buzz, is simple to create/get approved, and won't break the bank. Win, Win, Win, WIN! We're sure that in the following months Snapchat will be refining the process/rules/restrictions for using On-Demand Geofilters, but as of now, how do you plan on utilizing the new geofilters?

Bridge House are one of the few Peterborough Dental Implants specialists. More and more people are turning to implants as the solution to tooth loss. They could be the right choice for you too.
Tooth loss can be a traumatic experience. This is true whether you have lost one tooth or more as a result of decay, disease, accident or age, and can cause concern about how your appearance or ability to eat inhibits your day-to-day life.
Implants are suitable for patients of all ages and can be a life-long solution to tooth loss. The process involves creating an artificial substitute for the root of a natural tooth, with a small screw fitted into the jawbone to anchor an artificial tooth firmly in place.
Jonathan Cliffe is the Principal Peterborough Dental Implant specialist at Bridge House Dental Practice. He has had a keen interest in dental implants for over 10 years and he followed this up studying part time over 3 years to achieve a Masters Degree in Implantology in 2005 from Sheffield University. He is both a member of the Association of Dental Implantology and the European Association for Osseointegration.


North Carolina teachers now rank 47th in the nation when compared for base salaries. Teachers regularly dig into their own pockets to pay for schoolroom supplies, and though there was some sympathetic clucking about that fact from some of the Republican county commissioners, when John Welch proposed adding a 1% adjustment upward on Watauga's teacher supplements, the three Republicans voted that down.
Commission Chair Nathan Miller wondered out loud why the county pays teacher supplements at all.
Commissioner Miller feels the same way about appropriations for non-profits, who supply all sorts of services to the citizenry, especially the poor and at-risk. But the Western Youth Network will get zero, Hospitality House will get zero, Mountain Alliance will have its grant cut nearly in half, the Hunger Coalition will get less than half of what it got in the last budget year.
Curiously, the resort towns of Blowing Rock and Beech Mountain, which are getting a new windfall from the changes in sales tax distribution, are also getting pretty much all they requested for Beech Mountain Parks & Recreation and for Blowing Rock Parks & Recreation. Meanwhile, the Valle Crucis Community Park and Green Valley Community Park were cut, the latter very substantially, from $10,000 allotted last year to $4,000 proposed in the new budget.


Using a Platino Flattener prior to oven frying of poultry products will bring many benefits. One of them is the tried and tested reduced need for oven capacity. Marel's Platino Flattener uses a unique technology to flatten poultry products.
Suitable for boneless, non-frozen poultry, the system delivers portions that maintain both their quality and shape after flattening.
In the entire industry, there is no machine that handles product like the Platino flattener does. Usually, flattening protein is done with two belts squeezing the meat. Instead, the Platino technology "massages" the products with its knuckled rollers. This procedure leaves the meat with a much better texture and improved water holding capacity, ensuring far higher yield compared to traditional flattening processes.
By utilizing two drums that knead the poultry meat instead of applying straight pressure flattening, Platino prevents damage to the meat. The massaging effect leaves the product more pliable which results in increased and faster brine or marinade absorption during tumbling. When cooked, products from the Platino do not shrink back to their original shapes.
Platino's twisted kneading drums also help create products with improved water holding capacity, resulting in increased yield. At the same time, bounce back is highly reduced and so is the memory effect. The unique flattening technique prevents ripped meat fibers and delivers more tender end products. The meat has an unaffected muscle integrity, so in the end it is still a whole muscle product with a meaty texture and good bite. Processing poultry by means of Platino is an excellent way of securing uniformity and meat quality.
There's a distinct benefit when Platino processing is applied before oven frying. First of all, the flattened shape secures a uniform frying time. Thanks to their uniform size and shape, products don't need to spend that much time in the oven anymore. Extensive testing by Marel Poultry's specialists with fresh, fresh injected, tumbled and defrosted products has demonstrated that up to 36% more products can be fried with the same oven capacity! Such an efficient use of your existing oven capacity eliminates the need for investing in extra oven capacity when throughput increases.
It is easier for operators to handle products flattened by Platino. Apart from that, the packed products will look more uniform and attractive to the consumer. Without Platino, products would be ball-shaped, which seems unnatural. Flattened products appear more like natural fillets in a tray. Additionally, the enlarged surface allows more batter and breading on the products, if applicable.

Americans are a restless tribe, never afraid to pick up and fly away.
The sudden rise of Mike Huckabee in the Republican jousts is a cool plot turn, one that makes you lean forward and turn up the sound. An amiable, well-spoken Southern conservative with a Gomer Pyle face challenging the teeth-baring Giuliani and the sleek Romney. You watch him field questions for a few minutes and the man's appeal is pretty clear. He comes off as a real person, not a caricature: He sounds like a guy talking to you, not a stiff with a set of applause lines.
He's a straight conservative but with exceptions -- he's in favor of healthcare for poor kids, he dares talk about the environment. And he's a new contender, and that's a big point in his favor. Romney is synthetic and Giuliani is toxic and people are ready for the next thing. The whole rationale of Giuliani is that we're in terrible danger and need a mean SOB to run things, but we've never elected a president on those grounds. And now here is a smart conservative who doesn't hate anybody.
We're a restless tribe. The soup gets thin, toss in something new, turn up the heat. Depressed? Put on your coat and get out of the house. Myself, I am an old plowhorse hitched to a load of guilt and regret and overdue assignments and I envy the young who are bright and jumpy and skinny as snakes and free to pick up and fly away. L.A., New York, Chicago, Miami -- make them an offer and off they go.
The difference between Germans and Americans, says a friend in Berlin, is that Germans are extremely reluctant to move in order to find work and Americans have been doing it for 200 years. Germans sit tight and so the division between East and West will persist for decades. Not so here. Charles Schulz pulled up stakes and left Minnesota for California in 1958, and one gathers from David Michaelis' excellent new biography that Schulz's wife was tired of snow and "Peanuts" was simply too successful for him to feel comfortable among judgmental, self-effacing Lutherans, so off he went and he never looked back. The American story.
I'm an old guy so I know about change. I remember when Southerners were Democrats and the Republican Party was the party of Lincoln. I remember when you could stroll into the Capitol in Washington as if it were a county courthouse and look at the statuary in the rotunda. I remember when the hardware store was run by an old cranky guy who stood at the front counter guarding the merchandise and expected you to know the names of things. He was a bully and he went out of business and now we go to the big discount store and it's a lot more fun.
I am descended from a man named David Powell who was restless all through the 19th century and though a farmer, he moved from Pennsylvania to Ohio, then Indiana, then Illinois, then Iowa, then Missouri, and in one last thrust forward, he rode into Oklahoma in the great land rush and got 20 miles, felt ill, got off his horse, sat down under a tree, and died outdoors with his eye on the trail ahead. A good death.
We are not a timid or fearful people. My friend of 30 years came around with his new girlfriend (replacing the old girlfriend, who replaced the wife, whom I liked a lot) and she gave me a wan smile and sat patiently through some chitchat about events that preceded her, and then she put an arm around him and gave him a no-nonsense look that said, It's time to go. I invested a lot in him over the years but she decided that I'm history. Goodbye, old pal. I understand, believe me. I've walked away from some old scenes myself and felt the exhilaration of a new start.
An old friend decided to retire to Santa Fe, N.M., and I went to the retirement dinner and wished her well, but I was thinking, "Liz, you dope, get over it. Take a week off and get some sleep. Be real. You're a northern prairie person. You think the Hopis are going to adopt you and teach you the mysteries of the Earth, the Wind and the Rain? No, you're going to watch movies on cable TV in the morning and join a class for people who need an excuse to make bad art, and you're going to develop a bad Kahlua habit." But off she goes confidently into the future, happy to make the change, just like the rest of us.


With the BaseballAmerica Prospect Handbook out, Kevin and Scott examined the top 30 prospects and compared it against the RaysProspects Top 30 list with some notable differences. After the break, they discuss the Jeff Keppinger signing (and the Russ Canzler DFA'ing) and how he'll help this season, plus the Prince Fielder deal and the remaining free agents before wrapping up with some bonus Greg Schiano talk.
Depth Chart~ Hudson Valley's Roque Colon was released during the season. So, there are actually 20 on the HV depth chart. Notice how "lean" the list of position players is. Hope HV gets lots of high prospects this coming season, which means I hope TB doesn't draft so many high school kids in the highest spots.
On Colon, someone told me that last summer and I was never able to get confirmation. Tend to believe you though, so I hid him on the chart. I'll delete him permanently if he doesn't make a roster by SS ball. Thanks.
Also, Keppinger is listed under Longoria at 3B. I don't really know how 2B/SS is going to play out in Tampa so I just stuck him in that open spot.
Of more interest to me is 2B in Durham. With the Will Rhymes signing, and Beckham solid at SS, does this make O'Malley or Figueroa just a backup MIF for the Bulls? If so, is the other one the starting 2B for Montgomery with Lee at SS? That would block Bortnick at Charlotte again, so I doubt it.
Maybe Rhymes/Beckham at Durham, Bortnick/Lee in Montgomery, with O'Malley finding time in reserve at Durham and Figueroa in Montgomery. I'm assuming O'Malley moves up over Figueroa since he bumped him from being the primary 2B last year when O'Malley returned from the DL. Just not seeing why we need to sign Rhymes.
Doug, the rays sign too many players in general. Rhymes is just latest in a long line of head-scratchers over the last couple of years.


The Tsugaru district is in Aomori Prefecture in the northernmost portion of Japan's main island, Honshu. This is a very scenic land of mountains and lakes where the winters are hard and cold. There is a rich heritage of folk tradition, especially in folk songs.
This lullaby, opposing strong words to gentle melody, attempts to threaten the baby into sleeping!
Sleep, sleep. If you cry the Mongols will come down from the mountain to get you.
The Gu Chen or Chinese Floor Harp (ancient forerunner of the Japanese Koto) features prominently in this arrangement, playing the tune and improvised embellishments. The instrument is tuned to the "Insempo" or "In" scale which naturally provides a dark, meditative atmosphere to the piece. The high strings take up the tune in tremolandi in the second section whilst several overlayed arpeggio figures provide a lilting accompaniment throughout.
A praise song honouring Sinyaro, a wealthy 19th century patron of the Griots, for his kindness.
With a prayer from your mother and father. "
Many variants of this lullaby existed around Itsuki village in Kyushu often in a loose duple or free rhythm.
This is a dance in 7/8 time from the Peloponnesus. It reflects a certain freedom of spirit.
This ballad tells of a young widow's seven year vigil as she awaits the return of her husband from the Greco – Turkish wars. "She washes her clothes in the flood of her tears and hangs them in the wind of sighs." The remaining tears are gathered in seven vessels. One day a stranger appears and questions her doleful state. "I cry because my husband is not among those who returned from the battle." The stranger reveals that he saw him die battle. "The Earth is his bed and the stone is his pillow."
This song, a favourite of the Lubavitcher Chasidim, has been taken over in the original Russian language from the rural folk repertoire. During the time of the Mitler Rebe, Rabbi Duber, it was sung by the Chasidim as they journeyed to and from Lubavitch. For the Chassidim, it has a deeper meaning than is evident from the literal translation. According to them, the song offers Jewish consolation in proclaiming that God on high will provide for all their material needs.
Don't worry fellows about what will become of us.
We will travel to an inn where there will surely be vodka to drink.

This week there are two groups in Washington, DC protesting colonialist policies being imposed on them by the US government. Apache Stronghold traveled across the country from Oak Flat in Arizona because there was a provision in the most recent version of the National Defense Authorization Act to give land including the sacred site of Oak Flat to Resolution Copper Company – Rio Tinto – BHP for a billion dollar mining operation. The land was protected since 1955, but the mining companies have been trying to get a license to mine it since 2005. We speak with San Carlos Apache Tribal Councilman Wendsler Nosie and Naelyn Pike, a leader in the Apache Stronghold movement. The International People's Tribunal held events over the past week in New York and Washington, DC to bring attention to the collaboration between the US and Philippines in the "war on terror" which is resulting in the disappearances, torture and murder of hundreds of people and the displacement of tens of thousands. We speak with Ka Paeng (Rafael Mariano) who is a former member of Congress and is current co-chair of the Peasant Movement of the Philippines, KMP.

Wendsler Nosie was born on July 10, 1959 on the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation, in Gila County, in San Carlos, Arizona and was raised in a traditional Apache way of life. He graduated from the Globe High School in May 1978 and attended Merritt College in Oakland, California, attended Phoenix College in Phoenix, Arizona, and graduated from the State of Arizona Banking Academy.
Following college, Councilman Nosie returned to the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation and began his employment with the San Carlos Apache Tribe as the Tribal Work Experience Program Director in 1982 and in 1988, he was elected to a four-year term to serve through 1992 as the Tribal Council Representative of the Peridot District for the San Carlos Apache Tribal Council, which governs the San Carlos Apache Tribe through its Amended Constitution and By-Laws, being federally recognized in 1934 through the U.S. Indian Reorganization Act.
Councilman Nosie then founded the Rural Opportunity of Arizona (ROA) in 1990, an individually owned business owned and operated by a tribal member, which provided opportunities for tribal members to become skilled in trade and trained for jobs throughout Arizona.
Councilman Nosie was re-elected as the Tribal Council Representative for the Peridot District in 2004 to serve a four-year term through 2008, was then inspired to run for the Tribal Chairman Seat and was elected by the San Carlos Apache People as their Tribal Chairman in 2006 to serve a four-year term ending in 2010, shortly after being elected to office, he resigned as the Director of ROA in 2006.
Wendsler Nosie, Sr., served as the Tribal Chairman for the San Carlos Apache Tribe, which is comprised of nearly 15,000 tribal members on the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation, in San Carlos, Arizona, ranging within the Gila, Graham and Pinal Counties, totaling 1.8 million acres, situated in the southeastern portion of the State of Arizona.
Councilman Nosie was recognized in 2006 and given an Honorable Mention by the Wake Forest University of Winston-Salem, North Carolina for his coordination of bringing students from Wake Forest University to the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation for a cultural integration program and was also recognized and honored in 2007 by the National Council of Churches from New York City for his accomplishments in Indian Country as a leader of spirituality among youth and organizing many events for over twenty-five years, which includes having worldwide participation of sacred runs in protection of the Native American Indian culture, tradition and heritage. The National Council of Churches comprises of over 30 million membership throughout the nation.
The people of Peridot District formed a movement to place Wendsler Nosie Sr. on the 2010 Peridot District Council election ballot as a write-in candidate and were successful. Wendsler Nosie Sr. is the current Peridot District Councilman, proudly serving his third term representing the largest San Carlos District.
"I contribute these accomplishments first to the creator who is known throughout the world by many names, to my mother and all my siblings, who have had a part of my up-bringing, and to my wonderful family who has stood by me through this roller coaster of life, to bring change to our Peoples' lives.
Not to forget all my relatives, friends, and all those who have joined by path, and especially those who are no longer with us, who have played a very important part in sharing their history and visions for a better life for our people.
Our work is not done. We are now called on to work harder at understanding, believing, and committing to holding on to our spiritual beliefs, whether it is ancient Apache, or Christianity, for the world is changing quick and fast. Land, air, water and the environment we live in, is at risk, so for our unborn children to enjoy what God has created and instructed us on caring for, we must now dig deep to secure the future. "
Naelyn Pike is the granddaughter of Wendsler Nosie. She was raised as a traditional Apache in the San Carlos Tribe and she is a leader in the Apache Stronghold movement.
Ka Paeng (Rafael Mariano) is a Filipino politician and peasant leader. He is a former representative of Anakpawis party-list in the House of Representatives. He is known as Ka Paeng among activists.
Mariano is a native of Quezon, Nueva Ecija and is the eldest among the five children of peasant couple Narciso Mariano and Herminigilda Vitriolo. At an early age, he helped his parents and family tend their two-hectare farmland owned by a landlord in their area.
Mariano studied agriculture and agri-cooperatives in Wesleyan University and Liwag Colleges in Cabanatuan City. However, he failed in finishing his college degree to become a full-time farmer due to his father's illness and increasing family debt.
At the age of 20, Mariano experienced activism first-hand by joining the local youth organization Bisig ng Kabataan (Youth Arm), which advocated the rights and welfare of local farmers. In 1981, the young Mariano was elected as councilor in his hometown.
His leadership in the peasant movement blossomed in the 1980s and in 1984, Mariano became a part in the formation of the Alyansa ng Magbubukid ng Gitnang Luzon (Central Luzon Peasant Alliance) where he served as second regional vice-chairperson in 1984.
In 1985, Mariano was elected as the founding general secretary of the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (Peasant Movement of the Philippines or KMP), a major peasant center in the Philippines. He was then elected as national vice chair of the organization in 1990 and as national chair in 1993.
During his stint with KMP, Mariano also served in the international left movement with the International League of People's Struggle, International Alliance Against Agro-chemical Transnational Corporations, Pesticide Action Network-Asia and the Pacific Task Force on Food Sovereignty, and Philippines-Korea Committee for Peace and Reunification in the Korean Peninsula.
From 1998 to 2004, Mariano served as national chair of the Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (New Patriotic Alliance or BAYAN), the political center of the mainstream national democratic movement.
In 2004, Mariano, together with the late labor leader Crispin Beltran, was elected as representative of the Anakpawis (Toiling Masses) party-list in the House of Representatives. In 21 May 2008, he replaced Beltran in the 14th Congress after the latter's death.
Anakpawis was re-elected in 2010 with Mariano as its number one nominee.
During his term in congress, Mariano has been part of the national democratic minority bloc in Congress together with representatives from Bayan Muna, Gabriela, Kabataan Party-list, and the Alliance of Concerned Teachers party-list. He has been an active oppositionist against the Arroyo administration and an advocate of pro-labor bills, such as the Genuine Agrarian Reform Bill and the P125 Wage Increase Bill. To date, he has authored and co-authored 111 House measures.
In May 2006, Mariano, together with four congressmen from the national democratic bloc were detained inside the Batasang Pambansa on charges of rebellion filed by the Department of Justice. They were famously called the "Batasan 5."
Mariano has openly rejected the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program Extension with Reforms (CARPER), a law that seeks to amend and extend the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program by five years, saying that it still has pro-landlord provisions.


Substance abuse disorders touch the lives of millions of Americans. It is not just the person struggling with substance abuse who is affected. Families, friends, co-workers, employers, and others can all find their lives disrupted by the substance use of someone about whom they care. However, substance abuse counseling can provide hope for people who are suffering from a substance use disorder in Saint Cloud.
An addiction counselor in Saint Cloud, Florida can play an important role in helping individuals suffering from substance abuse disorders achieve sobriety and learn to manage their lives without using substances.

For example, they help their clients set goals for themselves and develop coping mechanisms that allow them to manage their disorder.
Addiction counselors also help their clients find resources in the community that can help them, such as 12-step programs, support groups, and mental health services. For individuals in rehabilitation, addiction counselors in Saint Cloud can help them plan for life after rehabilitation is finished, such as moving into a sober living facility or finding new employment.
Addiction counselors are licensed and may have training in one or more of several areas, including chemical therapy, psychology, human behavior, and therapeutic methods. They draw on their training to help clients eliminate harmful behavior patterns and learn new, healthier behaviors.

There is no minimum or maximum length of time that it takes to heal from the ravages of drug addiction.
Substance abuse counselors in Saint Cloud will understand that there is no one-size-fits-all time frame for individuals who are in recovery.

State cracks down on illegal Pakistan immigrants
A viral video of police surrounding an apartment block on Waiyaki Way has sparked a flurry of comment online.
In the video, dozens of police are seen surrounding the Waiyaki Real Gardens building with reports that close to 300 Pakistanis on transit to Saudi Arabia have been arrested and being deported.
For weeks now, Kenyans on various platforms have been speculating about an influx of Pakistani nationals in Nairobi and its environs.
More concerns were raised over the weekend after group of the foreigners trooped into an apartment at Great Wall Apartments within Athi-River, after alighting from a city bus carrying huge briefcases.
The men who walk in groups have been conspicuous with flowing robes are scattered in Ongata Rongai, Buru-Buru, Syokimau and some parts of Kasarani.
At the city centre, they have been spotted along River Road, Luthuli and some areas with cheap accommodations in downtown areas where they have booked rooms and spend evenings strolling around the city.
Government spokesperson Cyrus Oguna earlier on said the numerous Asians who had been spotted in the videon in Athi River were tourists.
Through a Tuesday, September 28 statement, Oguna said all the Asians who have been arriving in the country not only possess legitimate passports but also followed due process before they were allowed into the country.
According to Oguna, the foreign nationals have been visiting the country for holiday.
"They are tourists in the country legally and some usually prefer staying and travelling as families," Oguna said.
But a day later, Interior PS Karanja Kibicho said the government has ordered an immediate crackdown on foreigners who are in the country illegally.
Interior PS has said the exercise will be undertaken by the Immigration department and the police.
"The majority of these travellers have originated from Pakistan and have valid transit visas to Saudi Arabia that are issued on arrival," Kibicho said.
Kibicho admitted that in the last four months, Kenya has witnessed a surge in the number of foreign travellers transiting through its international airports.
The PS said the government is, however, alarmed by the threat of the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic posed by the influx of foreign travellers transiting through the country.
"Going forward, the government will restrict the number of foreigners transiting through the country to levels that do not pose a risk to Kenya's national interests."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had written a protest letter to Pakistan High Commission in Nairobi raising the same concerns.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kenya presents its compliments to the High Commission of Pakistan in Nairobi and has the honour to note that the government of Kenya's attention has been drawn to a recent spike in the number of persons travelling from Pakistan enroute to Saudi Arabia and other destinations, transiting through Kenya," read part of the letter.
"The Government of Kenya regrets that some of these passengers are taking advantage of Kenya's status with these countries with regard to the COVID-19 quarantine regulations. This threatens to undermine Kenya's agreements with these countries which are put in place to ensure continuation of business and travel operations between our countries," the letter read.
The letter said, as a result, Kenya is seeking Pakistan's cooperation and solidarity in ensuring adherence to the arrangements.
The ministry said this is a fundamental imperative as the world seeks to contain the pandemic and ensure full economic recovery.
In this regard, the government of Kenya wishes to inform that Kenya is hereby stopping the visa-free transit arrangement with Pakistan. Till further notice, Kenya will require visas for passengers from Pakistan to Kenya. Kenya will therefore not accept passengers from Pakistan without entry visas to the country," the letter read.
The ministry said those who fail to abide by these provisions will be turned away and required to leave the country immediately upon arrival.

This book takes a single distinctive line of code-the extremely concise BASIC program for that Commodore 64 inscribed in the title-and uses it a lens in which to consider the phenomenon of creative computing and in what way computer programs happens to culture. The authors on this collaboratively written book treat code not as merely functional but as a text-inside case of 10 PRINT, a text that appeared in various printed sources-that yields a tale about its making, its purpose, its assumptions, and much more. They consider randomness and regularity in computing and art, the maze in culture, the widely used BASIC programming language, and also the highly influential Commodore 64 computer.

Q: Extracting l(G) edges from an l(G) edge connected graph with diameter 2. Let $G$ be a simple connected graph with $diam(G)=2$ and $S\subset E(G)$ with l(G) edges where  $l(G)$ is the edge connectivity of the graph such that $G-S$ is not connected. I want to show that at least one of the connected parts of $G-S$ is isomorphic to $K_1$ or to $K_a$ where a is the minimum degree of the vertices of the graph G.

A: Let $k$ be the edge-connectivity of $G$, so $|S|=k$, and $\delta(G)\geq k$.
$S$ is a minimal disconnecting set of edges, so $G-S$ has exactly two components(!), call them $X$ and $Y$.
Let $A$ be the vertices of $X$ that are endpoints of an edge of $S$.
Let $B$ be the vertices of $Y$ that are endpoints of an edge of $S$.
We claim that $X-A$ and $Y-B$ cannot both be nonempty: this would exhibit vertices at distance 3(!).
So we may assume that $X=A$. Let $|X|=s$, then $s\leq k$.
The degreesum (in $G$) of the vertices of $S$ is at least $ks$.
Exactly $k$ edges are leaving $S$, so the degreesum in $S$ is at least $k(s-1)$.
On the other hand the degreesum in $S$ can be at most $s(s-1)$(!).
So we either have $s=1$ (in which case $X=K_1$) or $s=k$ (in which case $X=K_k$ and $\delta(G)=k$(!)).
Depending on your knowledge you may want to add a bit more evidence to the places marked with (!).

We will remember them long after we are done applauding ourselves for our schedules kept and routines followed. Whether it's a sandy beach with salty air or a day spent at the lake, let's appreciate a sun that sets well after bedtime and the curiosity of these miniature explorers, because it's true: they're only little once."
For the warmest two year birthday blog post to the lovely little one, Parker; read more here.

Dress circle family home or potential redevelopment?
North to the rear and positioned in a super prime leafy enclave, this substantial architecturally designed by MSJ Architects (Peter Keys) family home is positioned on a huge 1998 sqm park like parcel of land. The well equipped galley style kitchen is surrounded by masses of formal and informal light filled living areas which spill open to outdoor entertaining areas and the huge salt water, inground swimming pool.The accommodation consists of 4 bedrooms all with built in robes, the palatial master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and a walk in robe.The flexible floor plan allows for the pool room to be utilised as a teenage retreat or home office. Every room enjoys a lovely outlook to the richly planted gardens and lush green lawns. The property is not heritage listed, so there is the potential to redevelop on the blue chip parcel of land (NCA approval required). In close proximity to Canberra's elite schools, the Parliamentary Triangle and Manuka Village, this is an outstanding opportunity to purchase a family home, or a development block to build on.


On December 5, 2015, thousands of South Korean anti-government protestors descended upon Seoul to oppose labor reform laws and to ask for President Park Geun-hye to resign. Protestors also stood together opposing government sanctioned history books and policies that allowed the Sewol Ferry Tragedy (which took the lives of 294 passengers, a majority of which were Danwon High School students) to occur. In the days leading up to this event, President Park Geun-hye created controversy by calling for a ban on masks at protests, citing the possibility of infiltration from terrorist elements. The protest remained peaceful in contrast to the prior November 14th protest that clashed with police forces resulting in the use of water cannons and tear gas (a total of 51 people were arrested and 10 injuries were reported).
Approximately 14,000 protestors were in attendance.
Approximately 18,000 police were deployed to keep the peace.
Two protesters show their opposition to labor and agricultural reform at an antigovernment rally in downtown Seoul, South Korea, on December 5, 2015. Tied across their heads, the bandanas they wear read: Resist the importation of rice.
Approximately 14,000 protestors were in attendance. The sticker on the mask reads: Oppose labor replacement.
Protestors listening to organizers, standing in solidarity. The stickers on these three masks ask for the South Korean President to resign.
Police look on as protestors begin mobilizing and marching. The protest remained peaceful in contrast to the November 14th protest which happened a month prior.

We use standard nursery industry sized pots.
Some things to consider when estimating bamboo plant size, are the variety, whether pot grown or field dug, and the time of year of order placement. In late summer and fall, after the bamboos plants have shot, they are substantially larger than they are in the spring. Sometimes plants over 1 metre in height, being shipped outside of Greater Vancouver, and The Fraser Valley, need to be topped, or the longer canes may need to be broken, to fit into our packaging. If a bamboo cane needs to be broken to fit into its packaging, just splint it with a small piece of bamboo, or wood, and it will grow on as if nothing happened. Our clumping bamboos usually have more canes in relation to pot size, but are shorter than the running bamboos. Note that height, and cane quantity, does not equal a more vigorous plant. Young stock, with plenty of healthy bamboo rhizomes, is our goal.
#1 size running bamboo plants.
#3 size divisions of clumping bamboo.
#3 Size running bamboo in early spring, before shooting has occurred.
#3 pot grown running bamboo on the top, and #3 clumping bamboo on the bottom.
#7 size, field dug running bamboo.
#5 size field dug running bamboo.
#7, #15 & #25 field dug bamboo.
11 - 15 foot tall B&B field dug bamboo.
15 - 20 foot tall field dug bamboo.


1. Place all of the ingredients for the salad to a large bowl and toss together.
2. To make the dressing, add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour dressing over salad and toss together.
This is a healthy way to lightly detox and remain nourished year-round.
Cabbage, kale, and roasted seeds, topped off with a fresh dressing - one of my FAVS!!
Preaheat oven to 450 degrees.
Wash the acorn squash, cut in half, and scoop out the seeds.
Slice the squash into about 24 large crescent shaped slices, leaving the skin on.
Toss the squash with 1 Tbsp of honey, cinnamon, and olive oil.
Place on a lined sheet tray. Transfer the tray to the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the squash is lightly charred on the edges and just tender all the way through. Be careful not to overcook. While the squash is cooking, prepare the other ingredients.
To make the raisins, combine them with the remaining honey, water, and cardamom in a small pot.
Bring to a simmer and cook on very low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the raisins have plumped and the sauce has become syrupy. Remove from heat and cool.
To make the dressing, place the minced garlic in a bowl with the salt, lemon juice, and tahini paste, before slowly drizzling in the warm water. If sauce seizes and gets lumpy - simply drizzle in a little more water until the dressing is smooth again. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
To assemble the dish, cut the half head of radicchio into long ribbons, removing the core. Place in a large bowl with the squash. Toss in the raisins and their syrup, and then drizzle the lot with about 3 Tbsp of the tahini dressing.
1. Combine all ingredients except cheese in a large bowl.
2. Let sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
3. Add cheese and serve.
Mix cabbage with salt in medium bowl. Place plate on top of cabbage, and weight with heavy can. Let stand 30 minutes to soften cabbage.
Stir in cucumber, spinach, red bell pepper and jalapeño.
Mix vinegar, maple syrup, olive oil and ginger, if using, in small bowl.
Add to cabbage mixture, and mix well. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature to allow flavors to blend before serving.
In a medium sauce pan bring vegetable stock and quinoa to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer fo 15 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed. Set aside and allow to completely cool.
In a small bowl combine the ingredients for the dressing and whisk together until combined, set aside. In a large bowl combine the cooled quinoa, kale, almonds, cauliflower, herbs and mix until combined. Add the dressing and serve immediately.
Toss the cabbage and carrot in a bowl and rub salt into them.
Place a clean paper towel over the vegetables and add another bowl on top of the towel to press the water out of the vegetables. Feel free to add additional dishes as weights. Press the vegetables for 30 minutes or longer.
Once salad is pressed, rinse the salt off by filling the bowl with water and drain well.
Add lemon juice and mix so that salad is evenly coated.
Throw this mix all together and drizzle the balsamic over it.
Add a few dashes of cracked pepper.
Mix and let it sit a few minutes.
If using dried peas, pour the black-eyed peas into a bowl and cover with fresh water. Leave to soak for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Rinse and drain beans. Add beans and water in a pot with a lid and bring to a boil. The water should be about one inch higher than the beans. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, tilting the lid slightly to allow steam to escape and leave to cook for about 40 minutes or until tender. Add more water, if necessary, until beans are tender.
To make the dressing, whisk together the mustard, lime juice, vinegar, salt and oil in a bowl.
In a large bowl, combine the beans, sun-dried tomatoes, and parsley. Pour some of the dressing over the beans (about half) and mix well. Add more dressing and/or sea salt to taste. This salad is delicious on its own or served over lettuce, arugula or spinach leaves. You can toss the greens with any leftover dressing, or with a little more olive oil.


If you love bento style lunches for your kids or yourself, you're going to love this quick and easy Remembrance Day treat. These little treats are the perfect addition to any lunchbox and they are themed to a meaningful day. They are very sweet so you only need a few to take on the go. They also make a beautiful Poppy bouquet when made in a bundle, perfect for the work meeting.
The motivation behind these Poppy Treats is of course Remembrance Day. I try to add a themed treat or snack to my daughter's bento box with each holiday or event and sadly I couldn't find anything for Remembrance Day. So, I created these simple Peanut-Free Lunchbox Poppy Treats that will send another gentle reminder of what the day is about.
Pressed for time? Click here to Pin this post for later!
These Poppy Treats are super easy to make. All you need are some peach flavoured candy rings and some black licorice bites. Just squeeze the licorice in the centre hole of the peach ring and you have a lovely candy poppy. It's fun, tasty and festive. Not to mention they only take SECONDS to put together!
The other thing I love about this bento box treat idea is that they are PEANUT FREE! Everything that enters the schools needs to be peanut free, for a good reason too. These treats are safe to send and may get your kids talk about poppy's and their significance.
There you have it! Remembrance Day is on a Saturday this year so we hope everyone gets a chance to show some support, attend some ceremonies and pause for a minute to reflect what the day stands for.

My sweet grandmother Nonny raised seven children during the Depression in the dust bowl of West Texas. She somehow managed this through prayer and love, hard work and creative frugality. Leftover biscuit crumbs would be saved and turned into bread pudding. Precious scraps of meat were collected and added to the ever-simmering pot of red beans. (A staple my mother ate so often that it took her decades to make friends with beans again.) Even in her old age when finances eased and groceries were more abundant than people under her roof, Nonny horded every little leftover to be "re-purposed" into the next day's meal.
Our generation has just survived its own recession (some surviving better than others), and recent stats show that Americans gained a new appreciation for cooking at home. And for not being wasteful with the food we buy. To make good use of all those leftovers, everyone needs a good Clean Out the Fridge recipe. Pastas and stews are wonderful for this. But my absolute favorite way to use leftovers is the following recipe for veggie sour cream chicken enchiladas.
If I have a dozen corn tortillas, I can usually cobble together the ingredients for this meal from the bits and pieces of leftovers in my fridge. The key is to think creatively and use what you have. No sour cream? Try a little Ranch Dressing and Greek Yogurt instead. If you don't have the veggies I use in this recipe, use what you have! Any kind of squash, mushrooms, shredded carrots, greens, in almost any combo will be wonderful. Any combination of cheeses taste great in this recipe, so use up those little bits of leftovers. All beans will work well, too. Heck, you can even use ground beef in this dish and call it "chicken." I'm easy. Just have fun, use this recipe as a basic guide, and get rid of those leftovers in a tasty way!
*Note to Vegetarians: Omit chicken and sub more beans or other non-meat protein.
**Vegans: In addition to omitting chicken, use Rachel's recipe for cashew queso, instead of the cheese sauce. Make it on the thin side as it will thicken up during cooking. Omit cheese in filling and for topping. It will still be wonderful!
Note: You'll need 2 1/3 cups grated cheese, total in this recipe — some for cheese sauce, some for filling, and some for sprinkling on top.
Saute onions and garlic in oil in skillet on medium high until transparent. Sprinkle ¼ cup flour over all, and stir to make a roux. Pour in veggie broth slowly, and stir over heat as it thickens. Turn down heat, then toss in cheese (1 1/3 c.) and stir until it is melted, stirring so as not to burn. Add drained green chilis. Simmer on low for a couple of more minutes to let flavors mingle, then turn off heat.
Mix 2/3 cup white cheddar, chicken, black beans, spinach, corn, tomato and seasonings in a large bowl. Check seasonings and adjust to your taste.
Wrap tortillas, six at a time in a large damp paper towel. Microwave about 30 seconds to one minute until tortillas are moist, soft and pliable.
Fill each corn tortilla with about ¼ c of filling. Roll and place seam side down in an 11 by 13 ovenproof pan that has been sprayed lightly with oil. Continue this until the pan is filled. Carefully pour entire pan of cheese sauce over top, evenly. (It is okay if sauce is a little thin, as it will bake and thicken.) Sprinkle top with 1/3 cup more of white cheese, and about a tablespoon of chopped jalapenos if you like. I like a sprinkle of smoked paprika for color.

St. Francis Student Wins Writing Scholarship
St. Francis College Psychology major Katharine Diehl '13 has just written her own ticket to an amazing summer experience, literally.
Katharine submitted five of her own poems and a letter of recommendation from English Professor Wendy Galgan to Skidmore College for a chance to make it into the 2012 New York State Summer Writers Institute Scholarship Program. She was one of 36 writers from a pool of 375 offered a full scholarship to attend the second of two, two week workshops at the College.
"I've never done something like this before," said Katharine who often finds herself writing on the subway then editing her work when she gets home. "I hope for some good healthy criticism though. I'm already encouraged that they chose me for the scholarship, so there's no need to hold back!"
Growing up, Katharine says she wrote and 'published' a number of little novels, even crafting fake blurbs and reviews of the work. She worked on a longer novel over the past two summers but for the past year has found her passion in writing poetry. She credits Dr. Galgan, who taught an Honors Seminar in Women's Poetry for pointing out the Skidmore program.
"She was really encouraging and I loved the class," added Katharine who says writing is her favorite activity. "The hard part was choosing which poems to send in. They're all my babies!"
Reflecting on her creative process, Katherine says writing a story is similar to painting an impressionist watercolor, "building up all these little strokes and details, and you end up with something that looks best from a distance." She says poetry, though, is more like creating a sculpture, "it's a big jumble of images and ideas and wordplay, and then you have to carve it down to get it where you want."
Katharine says she's looking forward to being in an environment where she can really indulge in her love for writing and while this will be the first time someone else will edit her poetry, she welcomes the challenge. "I want to rebuild my poems from the ground up. It will be a brilliant experience, I expect."
The New York State Writers Institute was established in 1984 by award-winning novelist William Kennedy at the University at Albany, SUNY. Under the joint auspices of the Office of the Dean of Special Programs at Skidmore College and the New York State Writers Institute at the University at Albany, the summer program is held on the campus of Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York and features creative writing workshops in fiction, non-fiction and poetry.

Every facet of every Glide app is the input and output of a global, reactive computation, in the same way that cells in a spreadsheet are. This is a radically different way for software to work and poses unique challenges. Come help us solve them.
Glide is implemented with TypeScript. We have a custom component system that implements a reactive computation model similar to spreadsheets, that currently has React and React Native bindings so that apps run in the browser and natively on iOS and Android.
We use GitHub for code collaboration, have integration tests in place, and use GitHub flow & CI to automate deployments from branches across staging and production environments.
