Finding a Tea for Every Taste
You might not know it yet, but you probably love tea. Maybe you don't fancy yourself a tea drinker—outside of the occasional winter toddy—and you might never have set foot in a tea shop. But whether you're a spirits enthusiast, a beer geek or a coffee fanatic, there's probably a tea out there that would taste eerily similar to your drink of choice. Love peaty scotch? Try a smoky Lapsang Souchong tea. Can't get enough Kenyan AA coffee? Go for a bright, citrusy Ceylon tea. Get a little adventurous, and you'll soon discover that tea has universal appeal. Still not convinced? Use the following guide to teas with beverage-world doppelgangers and we're pretty sure you'll find a new favorite drink.
Satrupa Assam
For those who enjoy: Aged rums
Why You'll Like It: Black teas grown in India's Assam region are known for their full body and breakfast-table brawn. Those grown on the Satrupa estate are described by Intelligentsia tea buyer Doug Palas as being more nuanced and flowery, with a cane-sugar–like sweetness not unlike that of rum. "When I think of fine rums that I've tasted, I think of the subtle dried fruit and vanilla notes that come from the aging process," Palas says. "The Satrupa Assam has delicate notes of dried date and fig that, combined with the sweetness, remind me of a good bottle of rum."
intelligentsiatea.com, $9/2 oz.
Li Shan
For those who enjoy: Intense pear brandies
Why You'll Like It: Named for "Pear Mountain," the region of Taiwan where it's grown, this rich, floral oolong tea might gets its distinctive stone-fruit notes from production methods, though some say the ancient pear orchards that grow nearby have something to do with it. Oolong teas, which are produced in China and Taiwan, are only partially oxidized, falling between un-oxidized green teas and fully oxidized black teas in intensity. "Many of the fruit flavors that one finds in pear brandies would also be found in the Li Shan," says Harney & Sons head tea taster Michael Harney. "The Li Shan has a wonderful mouthfeel and body–gentle but assertive. It's one of my favorite teas, and Pear Williams is one of my favorite brandies."
harney.com, $40/4 oz.
Bao Zhong
For those who enjoy: Hoppy IPAs
Why You'll Like It: "Though not bitter in the slightest, one of our finest oolongs, the Bao Zhong, has a super fresh, floral flavor that always reminds us of some of the great IPAs that the Northwest has to offer," says Jake Gano of Townshend's Tea. Bao Zhong is grown in tea-rich Ping Lin, Taiwan, and is only lightly oxidized, leaving it seductively fragrant. "It leaves a full-bodied, dry aftertaste on the palate, and a lasting, but not overwhelming flowery aroma that seems to fill the sinuses. An IPA enthusiast would very likely appreciate the layers of flavor and revitalizing effect of Bao Zhong, whether they're drinking it hot or on ice."
townshendstea.com, $6.50/1 oz.
GenMaiCha
For those who enjoy: Dry sakés
Why You'll Like It: This Japanese tea is nicknamed "the people's tea" because it originated during the country's World War II tea shortage, when the Japanese started adding roasted brown rice to their green tea as filler. (Invariably, a few grains of tea pop during the roasting process, earning genmaicha the additional nickname "popcorn tea.") Genmaicha's roasted rice notes and grassy green tea flavor make it a no-brainer for fans of bright, grassy sakes. "When served cold, the crispness of the toasty notes parallel those in dry saké," says SerendipiTea co-founder Linda Villano. "Though most quality saké is consumed cold, every once in a while a hot saké is comforting—kind of the inversion of the tea. Hot or cold, genmaicha is refreshing."
serendipitea.com $5/1 oz.
For those who enjoy: Peaty Scotch whiskies
Why You'll Like It: This ancient Chinese "smoke tea" was famously transported by Russian camel caravans to a tea-thirsty 18th-century Europe via treacherous Mongolia and Siberia, along with oolong and Keemun black teas. Pine fires give this earthy black tea its smoky overtone. "The really interesting part is that the dried leaves are never put over the fire or in contact with any heat but rather the smoke is controlled and redirected so that it's only the smoke that comes in contact with the tea leaves," says Infinitea co-owner Jeff Mares. "I'd imagine a scotch drinker is going to want a hearty, smoky cup of tea with a nice amber color–this tea will not disappoint."
infiniteateahouse.com, $4/1 oz.
For those who enjoy: Honey-sweetened herbal liqueurs
Why You'll Like It: Rooibos, or African red bush tea, is an earthy, amber-colored South African herbal tisane with a deep, wine-like quality and a smooth honey-like sweetness—making it a no-brainer for fans of honey-sweetened herbal liqueurs like Drambuie and Bénédictine. "Rooibos' naturally sweet, honey-like character compares well to Drambuie," says Rishi Tea's Ghazal Sheei. "And in addition to being sweetened with honey, Drambuie—like rooibos—is warming." And since rooibos is caffeine-free, there's no reason one of these liqueurs can't go along with your favorite nightcap. Bénédictine and rooibos toddy, anyone?
rishi-tea.com, $3/1 oz.
Taiwan Ruby Black
For those who enjoy: Rich, spicy Shiraz
Why You'll Like It: Named for its deep red color in the cup, this Taiwan-grown black tea has more in common with Shiraz than its hue. "There is a wine-like complexity to this tea that goes beyond a simple tannic sensation and shows up in the way it spreads and settles on the palate and sort of mingles with the sweet and lingering malty aftertaste," says Norbu Tea owner Gregory O. Glancy. "The wine-like aspect of this tea's flavor is what really drew me to it. It has a subtle depth and slightly drying mouthfeel that remind me a bit of a medium tannic, less fruity red wine."
norbutea.com, $5.50/0.8 oz.
Floral White Tea Blends
For those who enjoy: Crisp Sauvignon Blancs
Why You'll Like It: Chinese white teas are known for their delicate body and flavor—they're minimally processed, typically made with young leaves and buds, and some of the dried leaves have an ethereal silver hue. Add some Egyptian chamomile petals and Chinese osmanthus flowers, as teamaker Steven Smith does in his White Petal blend, and you have a tea that's downright sniff-and-swirl-worthy. Smith describes it as "light and delicate with hints of flowers and tree fruits." He adds that, served hot or over ice, the blend is "crisp, clean and refreshing with slight creamy, toasty notes and nuances of peach." Go ahead and break out the stemware.
smithtea.com, $10/2 oz.
For those who enjoy: Dry, earthy, wood-matured tawny Port
Why You'll Like It: Pu-erh is funky, to say the least. Like a fine cheese, this ancient Chinese tea is aged to dark, dank, earthy perfection—either naturally, with time, or through accelerated fermentation. Traditional pu-erhs are aged naturally over many years and sometimes fetch hundreds of dollars per ounce, but most common pu-erhs are known as Wo Dui, or forced fermentation style. "Wo Dui-style pu-erhs are very dark, earthy, damp and smooth," says Tao of Tea owner Veerinder Chawla. "A beverage-world counterpart for Wo Dui would be old cask-conditioned tawny Port, without any fruitiness. The color is slightly more b
rown than a Port (deep burgundy), but both are deep, thick, and smooth with sweet undertones." Pu-erh, with its funky depths, is a reward in itself, but pair it with chocolate, and you might find yourself shopping for plane tickets to Yunnan. Don't say we didn't warn you.
taooftea.com, $2/1 oz.
Kenilworth Ceylon
For those who enjoy: Fruity African coffees
Why You'll Like It: The coffee vs. tea discussion is a slippery slope. Most people are firmly situated in one camp or the other. But it's easy to love both equally. Some coffees, like Panama's famous La Esmeralda, are frequently described as being tea-like. And with certain bright, citrus- and berry-noted African coffees, the resemblance to a traditional Earl Grey is undeniable. So it's no surprise that Adagio Teas' Michael Cramer sees Ceylon, a common base for earl grey blends, as a good entry point for drinkers of bright, fruity Ethiopian coffees. And Ceylons from the Kenilworth estate, such as Adagio's Ceylon Sonata, are considered the best. "They'll appreciate its natural bright citrus notes and balanced astringency," he says. "It's medium-bodied with a lively crispness and sweet, juicy notes of mandarin peel or grapefruit."
adagio.com, $6/3 oz.
Yunnan Gold
For those who enjoy: Dark drinking chocolates
Why You'll Like It: This black tea from China's abundant Yunnan province is named for its unique golden brown color. It's known for its consistent quality and inherent sweetness—a product of both Yunnan's rich soil and the high ratio of golden leaf tips used in the tea. "Every time I smell a good Yunnan Gold, I smell a good-quality dark chocolate powder coming at me," says Floating Leaves' Shiuwen Tai. "It's a bit sweet, with a chocolate-like taste, dried fruit notes and sometimes with a hint of smoky wood scent. It's smooth, hearty and pleasant like a good chocolate–full of good flavors and surprises."
floatingleaves.com, $6.50/1 oz.
Black Dragon Pearls
For those who enjoy: Hearty stouts
Why You'll Like It: This black tea is grown in the lush, mountainous Yunnan province of China—a region known for its large tea leaves and healthy buds, and regarded by many as the birthplace of tea cultivation. It's then hand-rolled into beautiful brown spheres, like tiny, edible balls of yarn. Teavana's Patrick Farrell describes the final product as "a robust full-bodied black tea with sweet chocolaty and malty undertones. Similar to a chocolaty stout, this hearty black tea can even pair with steak, pork and other robust foods. In the tea world, we'd say it stacks up comparably in flavor and tone to a stout or porter, without the fullness and calories."

Attack Aircraft
A-6E Intruder
Med (GIF, 1280x1280px, 23KB)
Description: Wing span: 53 feet Length: 55 feet Height: 16 feet Weight: empty: 26,746 pounds maximum catapult takeoff: 58,600 pounds Speed: maximum at sea level: 647 mph cruise at optimum altitude: 476 mph Ceiling: 42,400 feet Range: ferry range: 2,380 nautical miles maximum military load: 878 nautical miles Power plant: two Pratt and Whitney J52-P-8B turbojets Crew: two Contractor: Grumman Aerospace
The A-6 Intruder is the world's first fully all-weather attack bomber capable of detecting and identifying tactical or strategic targets, and delivering both conventional and nuclear ordnance on them under zero-visibility conditions. This extremely accurate, low-altitude, long-range, subsonic weapons system is powered by two turbojet engines partially buried in its plump fuselage. While the Intruder may not win any beauty contests, it clearly excels in its assigned mission. The A-6 is capable of carrying all U.S. and NATO air-to-ground weapons in its five external store stations--a total payload of 18,000 pounds.
The Intruder is manned by a crew of two, pilot and bombardier-navigator, seated side by side. To assist them, the all-weather navigation and weapons delivery system provides an integrated electronic display which allows them to "see" targets and geographical features regardless of the effects of darkness or foul weather. Due to this ability, the Intruder has often been used as a pathfinder for other types of attack aircraft, allowing their use under conditions which would not normally permit a successful mission.
The A-6A first entered service in February 1963 with VA-42. The A-6B, whose primary job was the suppression of surface-to-air missiles, was basically an avionics modification of the A-6A with provisions for the Navy's anti-radiation missile. The A-6C, born of the SEAsia war, incorporates electro-optical sensors to observe and attack vehicles moving under cover of darkness.
The A-6E, last model in the series, features a multi-mode radar and an improved computer. The Intruder has been the mainstay of the Navy and Marine Corps air arms for more than three decades. It has been constantly improved upon over this time span and has been used for close-air-support, interdiction, and deep-strike missions. It is configured for both Harm and Harpoon missiles and with its radar and FLIR/laser systems, can detect, classify and attack a full range of targets.
The A-6E Intruder is being replaced by the F/A-18 Hornet and will be phased out of service within the next year or two.

Shikhar Dhawan & Hardik Pandya Return To The Squad To Play Against South Africa
Team Lehren
Follow on Google News ➞
Team India announces their 15-member squad for the 3-match ODI series against South Africa. Read below.
Shikhar Dhawan, Hardik Pandya, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have returned to India's One-Day International (ODI) squad as the Board For Cricket Control in India (BCCI) named a 15-member squad for 3- match ODI series against South Africa.
Hardik Pandya, who recently scored 158 off 55 deliveries in a local Twenty20 game with a whirlwind knock is back in the team after a gap of over five months. Also included in the squad is Shubman Gill who will take on South Africa in India's last international series before the Indian Premier League kicks off.
Hardik underwent surgery five months ago following a lower-back injury while Dhawan suffered a shoulder injury at home in an ODI series against Australia.
Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma was kept out of the mix with the limited-overs, as the vice-captain still recovering from a calf injury he suffered during New Zealand tour at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. They also dropped Kedar Jadhav from the squad.
India was outplayed against New Zealand in their last ODI series, where they got whitewashed 0-3 in the 50-over format.
On the other hand, after their recent series sweep over Australia at home, South Africa will be highly confident. Janneman Malan who impressed everyone by playing his first ODI series was also added to the South African squad that will travel to India.

I was sent a link by JJW to a New York Times story about an effort to construct 2,000 condos in downtown Newark, NJ in an effort to "revitalize" the city. Haven't we learned this lesson before: purchasing and razing large areas of a city to construct new housing does little or nothing to help the city as a whole, and in fact only results in gentrification of the worst type, as the only people and businesses that can afford to rent space in brand-new buildings are the rich and corporate chains. Alas. Now, I wonder what would happen if the city of Newark took the city's $550 Million budget for the project and used it to improve city schools, provide low-interest loans for people to improve their houses or start small businesses, and set up a scholarship program for city residents interested in higher education?

When visiting Bali it is easy to forget that it is just one island in the midst of an entire country, but whether you are an adventurer, a wanderer, a romantic, a thrill-seeker, or a beach-goer, those who visit the rest of Indonesia will be rewarded with life-changing memories. If you are heading to Bali to volunteer with IVHQ in either Ubud or Lovina, these itineraries are perfect to add on the end of your volunteer experience. And, because we know you probably like to have a few options up your sleeve, we've nutted out two, week long itinerary options for you!
First Three Days: Do you want to laze on a beach or work up a sweat? It's a tough decision! We recommend you head to the Gili Islands if you want to relax, otherwise head to Lombok to start the three-day trek to the top of Mt Rinjani. This is an incredibly popular option with backpackers at the moment, and it's easy to see why! The views will leave your jaw-gaping. There is no doubt the trek will push you but there's a reason people say nothing easy is worth doing.
For the Gilis: Jump on a fast boat from Bali to Gili Air. This picturesque island is quickly making a name for itself and nipping on the heels ever popular Gili T. This is a great option for those wanting a grassroots island experience. With unspoilt beaches, mesmerizing marine life and a peaceful approach to life, you'll be feeling zen within seconds of digging your toes into the sand. Not to mention because there are no motorized vehicles on the Island, you'll be pulling the fresh air in and truly appreciating it after your travels through the rest of Asia. If you're looking for something with a party atmosphere then you can go to Gili Trawangan, better known as Gili T, or if you are loved up then have a romantic escape to Gili Meno. Head back to Lombok once you've soaked up all the sun you can manage.
From Lombok you can catch public transport and ferry from island to island yourself, or you can join one of the many boat tours leaving from Bangsal Harbour and take the hassle out of the trip. You'll also be able to enjoy the company of fellow boaters, dining above deck and being lulled to sleep by waves gently lapping against the hull.
Day Four: Stopping off to Moyo Island will put you face-to-face with nature. The majority of the island is a nature reserve meaning flora and fauna is abundant and so are opportunities to snap a few pictures for the photo album. When you run out of things to see onland you can start exploring the untouched coral reefs.
Day Five: Komodo Island, whilst it's famous for the creature it's named after what you really want to see is actually found under the crystal blue waters surrounding the island. Spend an unforgettable day at Manta Point. This will be one of those experiences with animals that will stay with you for life. The friendly giants of the sea won't disappoint.
Day Six: Visit Rinca Island for its breathtaking views of the stunning natural landscape. Think stark golden hills set against turquoise blue waters and you'll have a rough idea, not that anything can come close to seeing it in the flesh. Here you can also spot the Komodo Dragon lazing in the sunny grasslands, along with other wildlife. Just remember these creatures are best viewed from a distance, you do not want a dragon bite!
Day Seven: Finally touch down in Labuan Bajo on the Island of Flores. There is lots to see and do in the outskirts of this port town - you can explore the authentic villages, bubbling hot pools or trek up into the hills. This place is abuzz with dive shops and for good reason, there are some of the best dive spots in the world nearby! You can pick up your Open Water Dive certification here too!
If you have more time you can head a bit further inland to find the famous spider web rice fields, or in East Flores you can lace up your boots and get up and close with a truly magical sight: Mt Kelimutu. This really is a must! Rise before dawn to see the sun break across the western rim, unveiling three volcanic lakes famous for each being a different striking color. It's something you'll never forget.
Day One: Let the adventure begin. Catch a bus from Ubung Bus Station, or arrange transport directly from Ubud to Gilimanuk where you will board a ferry across to the port just outside of Banjuwangi, Java. You can use this blip on the map as your base to see Kawah Ijen, better known as the Blue Flame, or you can venture out to stay in a homestay in the rural areas surrounding the volcano.
Day Two: Rise early to start your trek into the depths of the crater. A guide is a must here as the plumes of sulphur can quickly change direction and engulf the area, making visibility poor and your eyes tear up even through the ventilation mask. Oh, and that little mask may not look like it will do much but you'll truly appreciate it when it's put to the test. The blue flame, the result of sulphur combusting, is truly spectacular and will leave you marveling at the wonder of nature. Both on the way down and up you will needed to step aside to allow the miners carrying up to 90kgs of sulfur to pass. This path is nothing more than a goat track and these little miners resembled ants in their ability to balance large loads on their tiny frames. Once you are back on the lip of the crater head over to the sunrise point to watch the landscape slowly appear before your eyes. Looking back into the crater you'll be no doubt be chuffed that your legs managed to get you down to the lake's edge and even more surprisingly back up the craggy face. Top tip: if you have the time stay an extra day and arrange to go to Kawah Ijen at sunset - you'll have the place to yourself! Otherwise make use your afternoon to make your way to Cemoro Lawang which is a town adjacent to the Mt Bromo volcanic complex.
Day Three: With all the spectacular sights Indonesia has to offer you'll quickly become accustomed to sunrise starts. Mt Bromo is no exception, this must be seen when the rooster crows. You can join a four wheel drive tour or pop your trusty head torch on and set out on foot for the sunrise point above the Cemoro Lawang. As the sun breaks across the horizon, Mt Bromo will be revealed amongst the sea of morning mist and you'll understand why people from all across the world flock here. From the top sunrise viewing point organize transport down and across the sea of sand to the base of Mt Bromo, the very active beast you're there to see. The climb itself is very straight forward, it is quite literally just one foot in front of the other directly up a well formed staircase. Jump on a train for a quick trip to Surabaya.
Day Four: You've had three big days in a row now so take a break and have a rest day. Enjoy what Surabaya has to offer - which at first glance may not seem like much but if you take the time to get out and eat street food, wander around the museums, experience a sprawling Indonesian city and visit the old quarters, then you'll be rewarded with some great sights or at the very least you'll meet some wonderfully friendly people.
Day Five: Head off to Yogyakarta. It's the cultural powerhouse of Indonesia. The area is dotted with ancient ruins, artists preserving traditions and some of the grandest temples you will ever see. Make sure you lock in to see the Ramayana ballet against the backdrop of the Prambanan temple complex.
Day Six: Roll out of bed for another sunrise - you can sleep in when you get home! The temple doesn't officially open until around 7am which means if you want to see the sunrise from within Borobudur temple then you need to dig into your pockets and pay. Doing this means you'll have less people around as you explore the complex in the morning. Otherwise you could head off to a sunset point and make your way in when the gates open. Top tip: Borobudur and Prambanan temples are two of the most visited tourists spots in Indonesia so try to time your visit to avoid the weekend. Now it's time to test your travel skills by piecing together a combination of trains, buses, and even a motorcycle taxi to make your way to Batukaras, a village nestled on the southern coast of West Java. Oh, and prepare yourself to cross a bridge made entirely of bamboo - this is just a wee bit off the beaten track after all.
Day Seven: Wake to the sound of crashing waves, have fresh fruit for breakfast, hire a surfboard and hit the water. Batukaras is a great way to unwind after an action packed trip around Indonesia. Be warned though, people go to this idyllic surf hideaway and end up staying there for months on end. It's just that kind of place. When you can muster the motivation to leave, you can make your way to the Jakarta and fly on home.
If you do have more time up your sleeve you can always keep going. We'd recommend you look at going to Sumatra where you can see orangutans swinging in the trees in Ketambe and dive below the waves off the coast of Banda Aceh.
If you are wanting to balance your time in Indonesia with one of our volunteer projects in Bali then you can find out more information here, or if you are struggling to decided which project is the right fit for you then this guide to Lovina vs Ubud will be a great place to start!

Problem that you create by yourself in your life is something really different and it's up to you to make problems temporary or permanent in your life. In the modern world, complicated life with many breakups is kinda common and it's even called 'COOL' at times. It's hard to find someone with accepted standards of respectable and moral behaviour in other words 'decent people' OR someone who understands others. There are only few people who think about what's happening in others life. I am one of them, that's what made people like me. Recently I met someone who wanted me to change. She wanted to make me understand how to change with the developing world. She said 'The present generation is totally different compared to the previous one....blah, blah, blah!' Since she was an elderly woman I couldn't say anything against her, while she kept on encouraging the present generation. At times it difficult to make people understand.
I'm trying to forget everything, but when you are making yourself forget something, you spend the whole day thinking about it. Yeah! That's what is happening with me.
'Mending broken hearts' seems no more interesting because most of them think that I'm irritating others more than helping others, maybe it's because I don't get appreciated for what I do anymore. Nowadays I get more complains about 'Mending broken hearts' than appreciation. What people need to understand about 'Mending broken hearts' or 'MBH' is, when i'm working on a relationship, there's nothing like I'll patch them up forever or they can rely on me the whole time chilling, that was the problem with #SarZah. While working on #17, Aara told me 'Shark, Please don't change back to the old Shark.' Was I really changing or have I changed? cos this is what I never wanted to happen, taking me back to the past! The future must be better than the past otherwise it means that you haven't learned anything from the past and yeah, learn from the past but don't live in the past.
I've changed the way I look at things and it's helping me. You must try it, at least once! I told you about me not because I want people to know about my life but because when you read about solving problems on different websites, you won't be interested in solving yours cos you don't know whether that's true or not, when you read it here on my blog, you'll understand that problems can really be solved and the reason why you'll think like that is it's from someone's personal experiences.
I wrote a song 'Stand out' in October 2012, which my friend Akshita really liked, she kept on saying 'Shurooq please publish it!' I'll post it here soon, most probably my next post.

British historian and biographer Andrew Roberts will talk about his latest biography of Winston Churchill in "An Evening With Winston Churchill" Wednesday night at McLennan Community College.
British historian and biographer Andrew Roberts admitted there were plenty, perhaps a plethora of Winston Churchill biographies when he decided four years ago to start his "Churchill: Walking With Destiny" — 1,009 by his count.
Roberts had written four books on the 20th-century British leader and his times, the first going back some 30 years, and he had reviewed perhaps 100 others. So why write biography No. 1,010?
Because, simply put, he found more to say.
"Over the last four years, there's been a cornucopia of new material," he said by phone from a recent book tour stop in Amarillo.
Queen Elizabeth II granted him unprecedented access to the papers of her father, King George VI, who met with Prime Minister Churchill weekly during the war years. Roberts also found material in the diaries of Churchill's daughter, Mary Soames, and the Soviet ambassador to England; transcripts of meetings of the War Cabinet; and boxes of letters and papers acquired by the Churchill Archives at the University of Cambridge's Churchill College.
The new sources, in fact, forced his hand to do something sooner rather than later.
Roberts, 56, will talk about his findings on Churchill, one of the towering figures of British statesmanship in the 20th century, in Waco on Wednesday night, in "An Evening With Winston Churchill" at 7:30 p.m. at McLennan Community College's Conference Center.

The Islamic Manuscript Association in partnership with the Royal United Services Institute is pleased to announce a short course entitled Islamic Manuscript Collections in Conflict Zones: Safeguarding Written Heritage, which will be hosted by the Royal United Services Institute at its premises in Whitehall, London on 5–7 October 2015.
Presented with the support of the Thesaurus Islamicus Foundation, Harvard University, Boston College, and the Center for Environmental Management of Military Lands (CEMML), Colorado State University, this intensive three-day programme will introduce the concepts and mechanisms that underpin cultural property protection (and destruction) in the present day and educate participants in best practices of managing, protecting, and preserving manuscript collections and other properties at risk.
Case studies will examine incidents of manuscript and book destruction in Bosnia, Iraq, Libya, and Mali, while presentations and roundtables will survey the legal aspects of and military involvement in cultural property protection, the destruction of memory, and the way forward. Topics covered will include the 1954 Hague Convention; military operational planning processes; prosecuting cultural property crimes; developing and implementing no-strike lists; iconoclasm and the erasure of cultural memory; and looting and the trafficking of cultural artefacts.
The course is co-directed by Lt. Col. (retired) Dr Joris D. Kila, Chairman, International Military Cultural Resources Working Group and Senior Researcher, Centre for Cultural Heritage Protection, University of Vienna.
The course is limited to twenty persons. All instruction will be in English. A certificate of attendance will be presented on completion of the course.

Wafer the sweet snack that never gets olds
Published by Gianvito Di Palma at 16 October, 2018
Wafer is not a typical Italian snack (it is said that it originated in England, more than 600 years ago, and certainly it was first produced on an industrial scale by an Austrian company towards the end of the 19th century). Nevertheless, here at Bell Italia Italian wafers are among the products our customers from all over the world require the most. That is because several Italian companies, some of which already having a century-old history, are renowned for the quality of their products, to the point that they have become reference points in the sector.
Here at Bell Italia, we are proud that wafers, that are not a typical Italian product, are considered one of the symbols of "Made in Italy" everywhere the world.
Wafers: origin and curious facts
What is a wafer? It is a sweet snack that consists of two or more piled sheets, held together by a layer of cream (vanilla, chocolate, hazelnut, others). The wafers are cooked in molds that give them the characteristic criss-cross pattern, similar to that of beehives; that, it seems, is where the name "wafer" comes from. In Old English Waba means, indeed, "bees nest", "beehive". The Austrian company Manner, which first started producing them on an industrial scale in 1898, named them Neapolitaner Wafer, which means "wafer from Naples" because they used hazelnuts from the town of Avella to prepare the cream filling. Such a name is still used by some of the most popular brands.
A foreign snack with a strong connection to "Made in Italy"
As we said, Italian wafers are one of the products we sell the most abroad. Our customers from around the world demand them regularly throughout the year. In Italy, this product is mainly consumed in autumn and winter, but in other countries, e.g. the northern European ones, which have colder summers, wafers are consumed all year. A good habit we have here at Bell Italia is sending this sweet snack, along with other products, as free samples so that our customers can test that new format or taste that new filling. Despite already being a classic, wafers never cease to innovate and surprise. That's especially thanks to our leading companies in the sector.
Wafer: the sweet snack that never gets olds Top 5 Italian brands according to Bell Italia
Located on the high plateau of Renon/Ritten, the confectionery company Loacker has been delighting young and old with its vanilla, chocolate, and hazelnut wafers, which are the product of a long-lasting tradition. It all started in 1914, when the 13-year-old Alfons Loacker entered the bakery of the Moser family in Bressanone/Brixen, where he learned the first tricks in the preparation of the most popular Austrian sweets of the time, like creamed pies and donuts.
In 2017 Loacker manufactured 876 million units and developed a total turnover of EUR 335 million, of which 181 million coming from exportations. Among the over 100 foreign countries where the company exports its wafers, Saudi Arabia is in first place, followed by South Korea, Israel, China, and the United States.
Crich
On 8 October 1988 the 25th anniversary of the founding of Industrie Biscotti CRICH S.p.A and the 100th anniversary of the founding of CRICH were celebrated. Today the company is entrusted to the Rossetto family and is engaged in an ambitious development project, aimed at improving the quality and the production efficiency, through technological investments, flexible management policies, and a continued commitment to research and innovation.
Crich exports its products to over 50 countries, and the export represents 35% of their total sales. The main export markets are: Israel, Slovenia, Germany, the Netherlands, and Canada.
Gastone Lago Elledì
Lago group was founded in 1968 in Galliera Veneta (Padova). The company operates in the Italian and European confectionery-manufacturing sectors, especially with wafers. It is present in 85 countries, and has two production sites and about 160 employees. It produces and sells over 110 products, including wafers, shortbread cookies, ladyfingers, tarts, and baked prepackaged snacks. Today exportations represent about 50% of the company's total turnover.
Balocco S.p.A is an Italian confectionery company specialized in the production of baked goods with its Headquarters in Fossano (CN). With a total turnover of EUR 185 million (it tripled in the last 10 years), Balocco is among the leading companies of the Italian market and is aiming to increase exportations, which currently amount to 13% of total revenues, to consolidate its growth trend. Balocco wafers are at the center of this project for growth in the foreign markets, and even now this product develops 40% of the company's export turnover.
Delser
DELSER was founded in 1891 thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit of the homonymous family from Martignacco and started producing cookies, candies, and later, biscuits for children.
Back then "phosphide biscuits" were quite popular, because they were recommended by pediatricians, since they were very easy to digest and rich in mineral salts. "Le Bontà Dolci Delser" shows all the passion with which, for many years, cookies, wafers, tarts, and children biscuits are produced.

Q: ring satisfying a.c.c. on radical ideals, with nilpotent nilradical and every prime ideal maximal All rings below are assumed to be commutative with unity.
If a ring satisfies a.c.c. on radical ideals, every prime ideal is maximal , and the nilradical is nilpotent, then is it true that the ring is Artinian , or equivalently, is the ring Noetherian ?
Please help. Thanks in advance

A: The following example is taken from this answer:
Let $k$ be a field and $V$ be an infinite-dimensional vector space.
We can define a multiplication on $R=k \oplus V$ by $(a,v)(b,w)=(ab,aw+bv)$, this turns $R$ into a commutative ring. The nilradical of $R$ consists of all elements of the form $(0,v), v \in V$. Since we have $(0,v)(0,w)=(0,0)$, $\operatorname{nil}(R)^2=0$, so the nilradical is nilpotent.
Now $R/\operatorname{nil}(R)\cong k$, so $\operatorname{Spec}(R)$ has only one point. In particular $R$ is zero-dimensional and since the radical ideals of $R$ correspond bijectively to closed sets in $\operatorname{Spec}(R)$, $R$ satisfies the ACC on radical ideals.
Let $V_1 \subset V_2 \subset \dots$ be an infinite ascending chain of subspaces of $V$, then $0 \oplus V_1 \subset 0 \oplus V_2 \subset \dots$ is an infinite ascending chains of ideals, so $R$ is not Noetherian.
Edit: In the comments, you asked for an example such that $R/I$ is nilpotent for every ideal $I$. Since the nilradical of $R/I$ is $\sqrt{I}/I$, this is equivalent to asking that for every ideal $I$ there is an $\Bbb n \in \Bbb N$ such that $\sqrt{I}^n \subset I$. If we look at the example of $R$ above, we saw that $R$ has only one prime, which is the (nilpotent) nilradical. If we have any ideal $I$, then if $I=R$, we have $\sqrt{I}=I$, so the condition is satisfied. If $I$ is a proper ideal, then the radical of $I$ is the intersection of the primes containing it, so $\sqrt{I}=\operatorname{nil}(R)$, because $\operatorname{nil}(R)$ is the only prime. But then $\sqrt{I}^2=0 \subset I$.
It's worth pointing out that the rings satisfying the conditions of your question are precisely the commutative semiprimary rings, see my answer to your similar question here.

TNA Could Challenge WWE for Wrestling Fans
For the first time in four years, World Wrestling Entertainment will be facing meaningful competition in the form of Total Non-Stop Action, a wrestling promotion affiliated (though now, pretty loosely) with the famous National Wrestling Alliance. October 1st, 2005 will mark TNA's return to national television with a weekly show entitled, Ã?¯Ã?¿Ã?½IMPACT.' What does this mean for WWE and the United States professional wrestling scene as a whole? Is it marking the beginning of anything at all? We'll, let's find out.
TNA was founded in 2002 by pro wrestler Jeff Jarrett and his father, Jerry Jarrett. In the beginnings the company was barely able to survive with weekly Pay-Per-View shows which fan's purchased for ten dollars each. It wasn't a very profitable business scheme and nearly two years later, found heavy financial backing with Dixie Carter who's wealth came from a Panda Energy group. They scrapped the weekly PPVs and for a short time had a weekly show on national sports syndicate, Fox Sports Net. The Friday afternoon show was a godsend although it was soon canned, which was expected with such a poor time slot. For months on end, TNA had no national television exposure besides a weekly show that was taped live in Orlando, Florida and aired on their Internet site (tnawrestling.com).
Rumors were abound that TNA was on the verge of coming to terms with some national network. Networks like WGN, Spike TV, USA Network, TNT and even Fox Sports Net were all rumored to have some level of interest. In 2005, the ongoing agreement between Spike TV and WWE was coming to a close and the two sides had grown distant from each other. With their deal ending and Spike still wanting to be in the (as Ted Turner would say…) wrasslin' business, they struck a deal with TNA. With the final WWE broadcast on Spike this week, TNA's relationship will begin next Saturday night.
It's been a long and questionable road for the "little engine that could" form of a wrestling promotion but they're now ready to expand into the big time. For those who have never seen a TNA event, at first you'll be confused, excited and remember some of the past superstars of WWE, WCW and even ECW. Starters, their ring is not your standard squared-circle, it's a six-sided wrestling ring. The roster is a mix of older stars who have been made famous in the past and a core group of some of the most talented up and coming stars fresh off of the independent and international scene. Some of the main
names: Jeff Jarrett, Raven, Jeff Hardy, Kevin Nash, Sean Waltman, Abyss, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Christoper Daniels, James Storm, Chris Harris and the Dudley Boys (although they're not known by that persona anymore).
New fans may see the roster and think it's nothing but a bunch of WWE rejects and a group of nobodies. It's hard to argue with that thinking but all you have to do is watch a couple of shows and you'll be hooked. Stars like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe and Christoper Daniels made their names in independent promotions such as Ring of Honor and are quickly growing their own legends. TNA can boast something for every kind of fan. If you're the type of guy who likes lightweights and high flying action, the X-Division is for you. It's TNA's answer to a cruiser-weight division only it's their bread and butter. The NWA World Title is currently held by Jeff Jarrett, much to the dismay of many Internet fans, but he is one of the biggest names in the company.
WWE has not had any real competition since the late 1990s. By the turn of the century, World Championship Wrestling had been in a total wreck that was unfixable. TNA, of course, will not be able to directly compete like WCW did in 1995. For one, TNA just doesn't have the same resources that WCW did. The big challenge will be to carve its own niche into a wrestling country that has long craved some competition.
Many fans believe the action of WWE, RAW/Smackdown! has grown stale in recent years with nothing but the same Ã?¯Ã?¿Ã?½ol things going on week to week. House show attendance's, pay-per-view buy-rates and TV ratings have all decreased rapidly over the past few years and there has been no end in sight. WWE doesn't see TNA as a company that it needs to fight against, and it shouldn't…not yet at least. However, the seeds are there for a mini-war. For starters, weeks ago the legendary Mick Foley was in negotiations with TNA to join them as they prepared to grow. However, WWE President Vince McMahon pursued Foley heavily, offering him millions of dollars and (rumored) creative control to stay away from TNA and return to WWE. Just this past week, the team formerly known as the Dudley Boys, Buh Buh and D-Von, agreed to contracts with TNA. The team was among a plethora of wrestlers fired from WWE a couple of months ago. They have been forbidden to use the Dudley Boys persona, name, gimmick, clothes, glasses, etc. Obviously it was a legal attempt to disrupt TNA and any promotional items they planned on pursuing.
However, this October things should be on the up and up. WWE returns to the USA Network and is boasting a debut three-hour episode featuring such mega-stars as Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Mick Foley, Triple H and many Hall of Famers. Meanwhile this October, TNA will debut on Spike TV and try to begin to change the wrestling scene for the better.
As a second wrestling promotion leaps back into the national view, the only things fans should do is sit back, relax and thank the heavens that a second team is back in town.

With Google expected to reveal strong fourth quarter results later today (30 January), and a slew of recent acquisitions in the bag, Paul Carysforth, head of media and analytics at Amaze, examines how marketers should handle the search giant over the coming months and years.
Question: What was Google's challenge back in 1997?
Answer: how to identify the most relevant answer for a person's online search, from a seemingly infinite amount of online content – in seconds. Predecessors had struggled with the relevancy issue. Google's secret was to recognise the inherent human relationships between the pieces of content.
Those with the most links (human interest) would more often than not be the most relevant. It was a function that effectively tapped into the sociability of the web, way before Facebook was even a glimmer in Mark Zuckerberg's eye.
Moving forward 10 to 15 years, Google is still focused on using human signals in its data to help hone its solutions.
Google is still focused on using human signals in its data to help hone its solutions.
What were the motivations behind many of the algorithm updates of the last few years? They were purely used to eradicate those artificial signals that misdirected its algorithm away from the truth or from natural human behaviour signals.
Key examples of this include buying links, stuffing a site with keywords that make content unnatural (if we're going back a few years) or duplicating content. All of the above generate noise that could ultimately destroy Google's human relevancy.
So, what does all this tell us? Well let's take one last look back. In April 2000, Google announced the 'MentalPlex': Google's ability to read your mind. At the time it kick-started their elaborate April Fool's Day hoaxes, which have continued every year, but I think this actually tapped into a long-term aspiration. Google Zeitgeist is a current reflection of this aspiration, portraying itself as a mirror to people and to society. It needs to use its data to be at the cutting edge of cultural trends.
So, could Google really read your mind at some point in the future? So far this has only been a human trait and requires us to balance multiple factors such as time or place, a good understanding of the individual and a good sense of intuition. So could it be machine learned too?
An interesting area of work currently within the field of neuroscience is 'Thought Identification'. To date, this is concentrated on neuroimaging of brain patterns, but theoretically this is just one type of data. Google has more global behavioural data than anyone and its monumental rise is borne out of correlating it effectively (its original linking algorithm). Based on that, it isn't a big jump.
Google has just bought Nest and will undoubtedly buy other cloud-based data services focused on human behavior. Nest ultimately is interested in understanding how people behave inside their homes. Google knows it needs to be the lead player in the Internet of Things and knows it needs to focus on utility.
Context couldn't be more important for understanding people; firstly in mobile – right time/right place marketing. Just look at Enhanced Campaigns for Adwords that offers a revolution in how you can segment your campaigns geographically and by proximity. Schema is all about asking site owners to label the context behind content and making the site owners do it by offering them goodies like rich snippets. Clever.
It is vital that brands invest in technology companies that focus on the Internet of Things. Google is, so it's probably a safe bet.
Google is also now truly focused on having consumers identifying themselves across all their connected devices. This provides Google with a whole new armoury of insight into cross device behaviour crucial in a multi-screen world. Universal Analytics is their solution for this in the analytics world.
Last year's algorithm update focuses on conversational search and the meaning behind a user's search. This will continue to be a major focus.
Intent on delivering relevant content recommendations such as alerting you to traffic jams at 5pm because it knows your route home and your schedule. Mobile will be at the heart of everything moving forward.
So what does all this mean for you as the marketer? First and foremost, it is vital that you invest in technology companies that focus on the Internet of Things. Google is, so it's probably a safe bet for you to do this too.
Equally, focusing on understanding your customer better will be key. You can do this through data to provide relevant and useful content; this is Google's mantra and they've done pretty well so far.
You also need to make sure that you follow the principle of relevancy in your customer communications – quality over quantity and, as such, a budget for content strategy should be at the top of your list. Make sure you also review your KPI's and stop assessing individual device effectiveness. This is out of date. Get moving with Universal Analytics or a similar technology instead.

100 in 100: Pamlico County's Doug Smith, longtime Oilers nose tackle
After a one-year stint in the USFL, the Auburn defender played all eight of his NFL seasons in Houston
June 22, 2020 Brett Friedlander Article, NFL, Sports
Bayboro's Doug Smith, right, initially signed a big contract with the USFL's Birmingham Stallions, but the league folded after his first season and he went on to play eight years for the Houston Oilers. (Al Behrman / AP Photo)
North State Journal's 100 in 100 series will showcase the best athlete from each of North Carolina's 100 counties. From Alamance to Yancey, each county will feature one athlete who stands above the rest. Some will be obvious choices, others controversial, but all of our choices are worthy of being recognized for their accomplishments — from the diamond and gridiron to racing ovals and the squared circle. You can see all the profiles as they're unveiled here.
When football players of today get into a contract dispute with their teams, their only recourse is to hold out. Back in 1984, they had another option.
And Doug Smith took advantage of it.
Unable to agree with the Houston Oilers, who made him the first pick of the second round in that year's draft (29th overall), the native of Bayboro instead signed with the Birmingham Stallions of the upstart USFL.
"It's an honor to be involved with such a great program," Smith said after signing a four-year deal worth an estimated $1.2 million with a signing bonus of $350,000. "I'm looking forward to the next four or five years" with the team that won the USFL's Southern Division the previous season.
As it turned out, Smith's time with the Stallions lasted only a single season. After recording five sacks and being named to the All-USFL team as a rookie in 1985, the league folded and the 6-foot-4, 294-pound nose tackle ended up with the Oilers. Since the USFL played in the spring and the NFL in the fall, he played two seasons that year.
Doug Smith played all eight of his NFL seasons in Houston.
He spent the rest of his career in Houston, an eight-year stretch that was threatened in 1990 when he suffered a gunshot to the knee during a gathering of family and friends near his childhood home.
Smith was a local legend in Bayboro, a town with a population of less than 2,000 on the Bay River.

I made an old standby for today, Apple Crisp for Retro Recipe Saturday. I was gone most of last week, so I was trying to find an easy recipe for today. This is a friend's family recipe that was passed down from her mom to her and then to the next generation which is where I fit. I think this recipe is at least 70 years old, if not older. They were from Leadville, Colorado and raised sheep, so this is one of those recipes that a city girl like me, fell in love with. It is a basic, homey recipe that is great for the fall. Especially with the plethora of fresh apples available right now.
So now, today's recipe Apple Crisp for Retro Recipe Saturday. Have fun cooking.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a nonstick spray in a 9 x 13 inch pan.
Put your peeled, cored, and sliced apples into a large bowl. Add sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch and mix well, so that apples are well coated.
Spread in the bottom of your casserole dish. Set aside.
In another bowl add your softened butter, oats, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mix well.
Put on top of your apple mixture. I do it with my hands, and drop it on as evenly as possible. I normally put it up to about a 1/2 inch from the edge of the pan. I am not precise. It is a pretty rustic dessert.
This can be served hot or cold, and it can be served immediately or later when you are ready.
I hope that you like this recipe. It seemed fitting for fall. I would love to hear any comments that you have.
That's a reminder! But we call it Apple Crumble over here, and I don't usually use honey and/or cornstarch. Can see the sense of doing so, though, and the next time I've more than one to cook for will think about doing it! Thanks for sharing!
This looks amazing and something I think my husband would love thanks for sharing..
Erica, your newest follower through make my Saturday sweet!
Mmm....apple crisp is SO good!
Can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing at Mom's Library!
I always make apple crisp whenever I have apples that are getting a bit soft. Your recipe is very similar to mine. Although no cornstarch. I'll have to try yours sometime. Always fun to try a different variety. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
YUMMMM! Thanks for joining the party at One Creative Weekend! I hope to see you back today.

What To Expect When You're Expecting WWDC 2018
Patrick Lucas Austin
Jun 2, 2018, 1:00pm
You know what's about to go down, don't you? No? Well get ready to charge your iPhone, empty your wallet, and renew your developer account, because Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference is right around the corner. This year, WWDC 2018 runs Monday, June 4 to Friday, June 8 local time at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California. The keynote kicks the whole thing off at 3AM AEST (1AM AWST) Tuesday morning.
Screenshot: Alex Cranz (Apple)
We're expecting to see some notable - but not groundbreaking - updates to Apple's software platforms like iOS and macOS, as well as a more affordable notebook, if we're lucky. For now, let's take a little journey through what we think Apple might debut at its annual conference (and what it probably won't).
A distraction-free iOS?
Lord knows that glowing iPhone X screen is easy on the eyes, and that might be why you can't put it down. Apple, in a move similar to Google's announcement at its own I/O conference, is rumoured by Bloomberg to be announcing a new feature called Digital Health that will give users a peek into their smartphone habits, showing them where they spend time on their iOS device.
Google's "Digital Wellbeing" feature, which will be coming to Android P, gives users detailed breakdowns as to where they spend the most time, and grants control over how much time one is allowed to spend inside an app. Consider it a success if Apple at least matches Google in this arena.
The feature doesn't seem particularly complicated, so there's no reason to believe Apple wouldn't include some form of time management software in its next version of iOS. It provides Apple with some good publicity, requires less time to implement than a user interface overhaul, and would also allow Apple to square up against Google on the health and wellness front, where Apple usually holds the lead.
Will it happen?
Definitely. It's an easy win for Apple, and will surely appeal to users looking to pull out their phone less and rely more on the expensive Apple Watch on their wrist.

New Apple Watch faces?
You might love your Apple Watch, but the available watch faces leave much to be desired. 9to5Mac reported on a bit of code found in watchOS 4.3.1, containing the log message "This is where the 3rd party face config bundle generation would happen."
While "3rd party" could simply mean a watch face made in collaboration with Nike or Hermès, I look forward to the possibility that developers will be allowed to make my Apple Watch experience a little different.
Maybe. Code often hints at future features, but a single, ambiguous code comment isn't enough to place any bets on whether or not we'll see some new watch faces.
Cross-platform apps?
Rumoured details about the upcoming version of macOS have been sparse, but one feature, cross-platform iOS and macOS apps, seems to be the biggest change coming to the desktop operating system.
Conflicting reports from Daring Fireball and Bloomberg suggest that while Apple is indeed working on a framework making it easier for apps to share a user interface that would work on both iOS and macOS devices, it isn't as innovative as it might seem, and might be just the start of a longer play for further blurring the lines between iOS and macOS apps.
It could also be tied to Apple's rumoured ARM-based macOS device, but it may be a long way away considering Apple's focus on fixes instead of features.
Definitely. Cross-platform apps coded in HTML, Javascript and CSS already exist, so it isn't that much of a leap for Apple to consider whipping up its own framework allowing apps to run on similar devices with varying screen sizes.

A cheap ARM-based MacBook?
You can't go wrong debuting a new low-cost MacBook, but adopting a brand new processor architecture in its notebooks could go either way for Apple.
The company has successfully switched processor architectures in the past, moving from the AIM Alliance-created PowerPC processors to Intel's processors in its desktop and laptop computers. Another change would be pretty disruptive, and might effectively mean the end of an era for Hackintosh computers, but the trade-offs in terms of performance, power management, and easier integration with iOS apps could be worth it.
Unfortunately while an inexpensive iPad with Apple Pencil support debuted earlier this year, the much-anticipated low-cost MacBook Air is rumoured to be again delayed due to processor-related issues.
Not likely. With rumours primarily focusing on the delay of a cheap MacBook, along with Apple's focus on fixes, this might be more likely to happen later in the year rather than the next few days.
Some updated MacBooks?
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman expects WWDC 2018 to be light in terms of hardware, but it might still include some slight updates to Apple's line of MacBook laptops.
Apple is definitely working on updates to its MacBook Pro and 12-inch MacBook line with some current-gen Intel processors. If they will actually show up at WWDC, and aren't held for later, remains to be seen. While Bloomberg believes they will be a no-show, the laptops were refreshed at WWDC 2017.
Maybe. Apple's MacBooks are getting a bit long in the tooth, and a processor refresh (along with some slight keyboard tweaks) could make it a bit easier to deal with the compromises inherent in Apple's notebooks.
The original iPad Pro. Photo: Alex Cranz (Gizmodo)
A refreshed iPad Pro?
Sure, the cheapest iPad Apple has ever made just came out a few months back, but we could see a new high-end iPad at WWDC.
What should you expect? Not much, according to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, though the new iPad Pro could feature Face ID support thanks to a TrueDepth Camera.
The last iPad Pro announcement occurred last June, so now might be the perfect time to release, or at least announce, an updated tablet to keep customers interested.
Maybe. Apple announced a refreshed iPad Pro last year, and a new one would make it easy for consumers to pick a current-generation iPad at any price point and walk away happy.
A redesigned iOS 12?
iOS 12 would definitely benefit from a fresh coat of paint, especially since Google continues to refine and improve its own Android operating system at a pretty fast clip.
iOS 12 could see deeper integration with macOS apps, but a redesign might be off the table for now. What you can expect are improved parental controls and more augmented reality features, according to Bloomberg.
Still, all signs point to "no", as the company has seemingly shelved its biggest design changes, opting to focus more on bug fixes and improvements after suffering from a pretty rough year in terms of broken features, buggy software and security flaws.
Making 2018 a rebuilding year after dealing with issue after issue in 2017 affecting both iOS and macOS devices might be the best play Apple's made since it released Snow Leopard in 2009.
Not likely. Apple has enough on its plate in terms of making improvements to its current version of iOS.

A new iPhone SE?
Apple's tiny, inexpensive iPhone SE might get a sequel in the form of the iPhone SE 2. We saw evidence Apple was at least thinking about the low-cost smartphone, dubbed iPhone SE (2018).
A report from BGR also suggests the new SE could sport wireless charging, and be missing a headphone jack. Great. No one's really sure when the iPhone SE 2 will be available, but the consensus seems to be "in 2018".
Apple also recently registered 11 new iPhones, meaning we might see a new assortment of low-cost iOS devices to match Apple's love of high-end hardware.
Maybe. There's enough evidence to support the debut of an iPhone SE 2, though it would seem a bit out of place considering the fact that it's a low-end iPhone.
Spotify on the Apple Watch?
A new version of Apple's WatchOS will most likely make an appearance, and should bring with it some additional features making the temporary abandonment of your iPhone when you go for a run more bearable. The rumoured StreamKit API will allow users with LTE-equipped Apple Watches to stream media (like music) to the device, cutting out the middleman that is your phone.
A new, official WatchOS app from Spotify may steal the show, however. While Apple and Spotify are indeed competitors in the streaming music space, Spotify is at a disadvantage when it comes to integrating with Apple products, as it lacks a proper Apple Watch app. Right now, you can use your Apple Watch to control basic playback options from Spotify on your phone, but that's about it.
The StreamKit API gives Spotify an opening, but it may not be able to take it. Samsung paid a lot of money to make Spotify exclusive to its wearables - which is why you don't see it on Fitbit either. So unless something has changed recently, Spotify will likely not be joining other services that are streaming straight to the watch.
Not likely. Apple's rejection of Valve's Steam Link app, along with Spotify's exclusive agreement with Samsung, may force us to wait another year for Spotify's native Apple Watch app.

1 After the death of Ahab, Moab rebelled against Israel. 2 Now Ahaziah fell through the lattice in his upper chamber in Samaria, and lay sick; so he sent messengers, telling them, "Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this sickness." 3 But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, "Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? 4 Now therefore thus says the Lord, You shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.'" So Elijah went. 5 The messengers returned to the king, and he said to them, "Why have you returned?" 6 And they said to him, "There came a man to meet us, and said to us, 'Go back to the king who sent you, and say to him, Thus says the Lord, Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.'" 7 He said to them, "What kind of man was he who came to meet you and told you these things?" 8 They answered him, "He wore a garment of hair, with a belt of leather about his waist." And he said, "It is Elijah the Tishbite." 9 Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty men with his fifty. He went up to Elijah, who was sitting on the top of a hill, and said to him, "O man of God, the king says, 'Come down.'" 10 But Elijah answered the captain of fifty, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty." Then fire came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty. 11 Again the king sent to him another captain of fifty men with his fifty. And he answered and said to him, "O man of God, this is the king's order, 'Come down quickly!'" 12 But Elijah answered them, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty." Then the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty. 13 Again the king sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up and came and fell on his knees before Elijah and entreated him, "O man of God, please let my life, and the life of these fifty servants of yours, be precious in your sight. 14 Behold, fire came down from heaven and consumed the two former captains of fifty men with their fifties, but now let my life be precious in your sight." 15 Then the angel of the Lord said to Elijah, "Go down with him; do not be afraid of him." So he arose and went down with him to the king 16 and said to him, "Thus says the Lord, 'Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron—is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word?—therefore you shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.'" 17 So he died according to the word of the Lord that Elijah had spoken. Jehoram became king in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, because Ahaziah had no son. 18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

"Stroke Prevention: Beyond Health Attitudes" by Chelsea Gilts, Lisa Hughes et al.
Obesity, a known risk factors for stroke, poses a great health risk for the African American community. Beliefs about health locus of control (HLOC) are predictive of many health behaviors related to both obesity and stroke prevention. Some have recommended targeting health interventions to individuals with internal HLOC, as they tend to be more amenable to changing health behaviors, but this can be exclusionary to African Americans, who tend to have higher levels of external locus of control. The present study is a pretest-posttest randomized control design examining the impact of a brief, CBT-based health management intervention developed for overweight and obese African American inpatients with primarily external HLOC recovering from TIA or ischemic stroke. Intervention participants with a predominately external HLOC demonstrated improvements in minutes per week spent exercising (M=73.87/ SD+ 29.23), daily servings of fruit (M=0.63/ SD+ 0.25) and daily servings of vegetable consumption (M=1.92/SD+ 0.93) at the four-week follow-up assessment. Significant improvements in tobacco cessation (t(19)=3.09, p>.01) and medication adherence (t(19)=2.63, p>.05) were also evidenced. The importance of designing a health intervention sensitive to the HLOC orientation of the population is highlighted and access to health resources is discussed as a possible mediator of the impact of HLOC on obesity-related health behavior.
