A playable city is a somewhere that encourages its citizens to interact with public spaces and street level infrastructure in ways that are fun and creative. Because only people, working together, can create the ideas and the actions which bring urban spaces to life and generate ideas for future human-centric design.
Given its historical and cultural, significance City Hall was one of seven European buildings chosen to be part of the EU's ILLUMINATE pilot project.
The building became a test bed for piloting a revolutionary new lighting system, created by Philips, to explore the possibilities of LED lighting technology, which has reduced energy costs and CO2 emissions.
City Hall now boasts 433 individual light fittings – all of which can be individually controlled – offering up to 16 million different colour options.
The system has used to mark such diverse cultural festivities such as Chinese New Year, Orange Fest, Gay Pride, Polish Day, St Valentine's Day and St Patrick's Day.
Over the coming months we plan to work with partners to expand on the idea of embedded technology in urban buildings and infrastructure to make Belfast a playable city.

How Are Seat Belt Injuries Caused?
Seat belt injuries are ultimately caused when the belt restrains the passenger of a car or fails to hold the passenger back adequately during the accident. Because of this abrupt and aggressive restraint, there is a severe impact to the stomach, chest, back or neck area.
What Are Some Common Seat Belt Defects?
There are different ways a seatbelt could have a defect. Different types of seat belt defects include:
When the seatbelt is released from the latch during the accident and then is unattached
When the seatbelt is designed incorrectly
When the seatbelt is mounted into the door
When the seat belt is torn because if the cheap fabric material it is made out of
When the seat belt comes loose during the accident
When the seat belt is not retracted correctly during an accident
As seen above, there are only a few indicators that show if the seatbelt had a defect during the accident. There are several different types of vehicles that are constantly recalled due to seatbelt defects. We have just seen recent recalls for Ford, Honda, and Toyota seat belt designs. Our accident reconstruction experts will investigate your accident and determine how the seatbelt's defect exactly caused your injuries.

After getting involved in an accident and sustaining seat belt injuries, it is important that you contact our seatbelt injury attorneys immediately. Our seat belt injury attorneys will be investigating the accident and determine if the seat belt defect is responsible for your injuries.

The seat belt was torn after an accident
The victim was thrown into the windshield during the accident
Multiple passengers of the car were injured from their seatbelt
The seat belt was unlatched during the accident
How Common Are Seat Belt Injuries?
Seat belt injuries are somewhat common in the United States. They are likely to cause serious injury or death across the country. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 3 million people suffer seat belt injuries every year. Among those three million people, 40,000 people die from seat belt defects. All those people that are intended to minimize injury as much as possible, defects in the seat belt can cause very severe injuries.
There are several different types of injuries that are caused by a defective seat belt. Different types of injuries include:
Skin abrasions: skin abrasions occur when the seat belt rubs across the skin of the driver. Skin abrasions are most likely to be found in the area near the stomach. These are the most common types of seat belt injuries. Seat belt abrasions are also likely to cause internal injuries.
Head injuries: this is the second most common seat belt injuries
Brain injuries: this occurs when the driver is pushed forward towards the windshield and hits their head to the glass.
Shoulder injuries: because of the abrupt impact of the seat belt impact, the soft tissue in the shoulder bones could tear. This type of injury may need physical therapy sessions and the use of the shoulder may be temporarily limited.
Broken rib bones: many passengers may experience broken or fractured ribs because of the seat belt restraint. This needs immediate medical treatment to determine if there are further injuries caused to the lungs. Injuries to the lungs could result in future breathing problems. A minor rib injury includes bruising, which could be treated by icing it.
Spinal cord injuries: this is most common when the lap belt is fastened on really tight
Disfigurement: this occurs when the driver has been involved in a very severe accident and is flung out of the car suffering fractured limbs.
Stomach injuries: stomach injuries are very rare, however if the passenger experiences any type of abdominal pain, they should seek immediate medical care.
Death: when death has occurred, the victim's family members bring a wrongful death claim against the at fault party.
Who is Responsible for My Seat Belt Injury?
Whenever there is a defect in the seat belt that has caused injury, seat belt and vehicle manufacturers will most likely be held liable for the injury. Those who have designed the seat belt itself could also be held liable in a seatbelt injury claim. Usually, when a seatbelt is created, it is designed by the car designers and then manufactured by the vehicle manufacturers. Vehicle manufacturers also perform crash tests. Therefore, you can hold both designers and manufacturers liable for seat belt injuries you have sustained during your California car accident.

I was injured in a car accident last year in March. The lawyer made sure that I went to all of my chiropractor sessions and that I get the medical attention needed. I also got MRI's as needed and also got back injections as needed. He was very persistent on contacting me, even when I wasn't reachable, and making sure that I got treated right and paid a good amount at the end. He is a very respectful person and great lawyer. I do recommend him and his entire friendly staff.

Nick Casanova
The Machiavellian's Guide to Insults
Charm is the ultimate social lubricant. It puts people at ease and soothes tensions in any situation. Charm can stop feuds, create friendships, and even spread joy. It's what makes people laugh and want to be around you. With enough charm, you'll move forward in academia, achieve business success, and enjoy happier, more satisfying relations with loved ones.
The Machiavellian's Guide to Charm breaks down the individual components of the sometimes elusive trait of charm and reveals the secret to putting it to work for you. With his unique brand of humor, author Nick Casanova delivers examples of how different personalities-a stiff, a boor, and a charmer-would react in various situations and shows you how to harness the power of charm by focusing on five key elements:
Self-deprecation
It's entirely possible for anyone to master the art of charm. The principles outlined in The Machiavellian's Guide to Charm are timeless and can be tailored to fit every individual.
Nick Casanova doesn?t claim to be an exemplar of charm himself, but he is a keen-eyed observer of others and has known slick salesmen, expert flatterers, funny self-deprecators, artful flirts, and world-class womanizers. He has run across charm in its many guises, and he knows what works on him.

Why Chinas stock market is tanking

A guide to understanding the sell-off and its possible impact.
By
Los Angeles Times
9 Jul 2015 - 8:54 AM UPDATED44MINSAGO
Stock prices in China have plummeted in the last month , raising concern about the outlook for the world's second-largest economy and the spillover effect on global markets.
As the world focused on Greece's debt woes in recent weeks, the rout in the Chinese stock market caught some by surprise. In hindsight, though, a reversal was not unexpected given the astonishing run-up in Chinese share prices.
Here's a guide to understanding the sell-off and its possible impact:
Just how bad is China's market turmoil?
It's severe. The market's benchmark indicator, the Shanghai Composite Index, tumbled nearly 6% Wednesday and now has plunged 32% since hitting a record high June 12. That means nearly one-third of the market's total value has been wiped out. Market volatility isn't new in China, but this decline has been pronounced.
What led up to the collapse?
China's stock market displayed many of the signs that it had reached a speculative bubble. A year ago, the Shanghai index stood at 2,038.61. It then more than doubled over the next 12 months, reaching 5,166.35 on June 12.
Stocks kept rising despite a number of red flags, including a slowdown in China's economy and the fact that share prices had become exceptionally rich compared with many of their companies' underlying earnings.
One reason: A growing number of working-class Chinese families bought stocks to cash in on the rally and often did so by buying on margin, a term for borrowing money and using the stocks as collateral.
Has the drop affected other markets?
It has rattled some stock exchanges elsewhere, mostly in Hong Kong and other Asian markets, but seems to have had a limited effect on U.S. stock markets so far. Wall Streets benchmark Standard & Poor's 500 index is down about 2% in the last month.
China's sell-off has been felt in commodities and other markets. Crude oil prices have tumbled $10 a barrel in the last month, to about $51.50, partly amid growing concern that China's stock-market woes will further dampen Chinese demand for oil.
Analysts also fret that China's economic engine could sputter further, causing problems generally for economies around the globe and specifically for U.S. exports to China. Foreign investors also might shy away from Chinese stocks for an extended period.
What is China's government doing about it?
The government has taken several extraordinary steps to stem the collapse, including cutting interest rates, using government pension funds to buy stocks, halting initial public offerings and relaxing terms for margin borrowing.
Those measures, however, haven't stopped the heavy selling. And as analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research said in note to clients this week, whether or when these policies can stabilize market sentiment is highly uncertain in our view.

A 45-metre statue of Buddha in Vietnam has suddenly collapsed in the final phase of a three-year construction project.
The towering statue, temporarily the tallest in northern Vietnam, depicted a young, slender Buddha sitting in the lotus position at the popular Sac Thien Vuong Quan Am pagoda in Thai Binh province.
The statue was in the last stage of construction when it came crashing down late on Tuesday, said Pham Hong Thai, deputy chairman of the district.
No one was injured.
Local authorities are investigating the cause of the collapse.
The giant artwork was funded by tens of millions of dollars worth of contributions by Buddhists.
Buddhism is the largest faith in Vietnam.
A rash of construction accidents in Vietnam has recently prompted authorities to tighten safety rules.

An Australian man who tried to help a Bali family who reported their daughter missing demanded a photo of the girl from her supposed kidnappers before handing over any money.
Chris Burns told Bali police on Wednesday about his experience with the sisters of Engeline, eight, whose body was found buried in her backyard three weeks after a social media campaign was mobilised to find her.
Mr Burns told reporters that when he responded to the campaign, Engeline's sister Yvonne claimed the adopted girl was being held by kidnappers.
"I offered to help her if she could prove that Engeline was safe and could be traded," he said.
Police have broadened their murder investigation, which at first focused on a staff member at the family's Sanur home, to the woman who adopted Engeline and her family.
Children's rights activist Siti Sapurah says after Mr Burns offered to prepare cash to give the kidnappers when the proof was supplied, Yvonne became demanding.
Ms Siti says Yvonne was forwarding text messages to Mr Burns, claiming they were from the kidnappers.
"They said, 'why hasn't it been transferred yet? We're not fooling around. If you want something happen to your sister, it's your choice. Transfer it quick!'" she said.
"The language was always like that."
Mr Burns gathered Rp 10 million ($1000) of the Rp 150 million that was asked, but never handed it over, she said.
"He was sympathetic. Chris thought this girl was really missing," she said.
"He has a three-year-old child and he was thinking, what if it happened to him?"
She suspects he was not the only kind foreigner to have been tangled in the case.
"I've brought some documentation and we will ask the police to trace them," she said, referring to copies of the text messages, Facebook posts and bank details.
Engeline's sad story has gripped Indonesia for weeks, leading to calls for harsher punishments for child abuse and tighter laws around adoption.

It's nearly four months since Cyclone Pam pummelled Vanuatu, killing up to 15 people and leaving more than 3,000 homeless. In one small village on the island of Tanna, the stories of survival are extraordinary.
By
8 Jul 2015 - 3:50 PM UPDATEDYESTERDAY8:22PM
Life's uncomplicated in the small village of Iwel, home to 40.
There's no electricity, no phones or computers.Just a dozen or so huts crafted from the scrub, and a remarkable spirit of survival.
In a borrowed wheelchair outside his reconstructed bamboo home sits Iaris Niere. Disabled since birth, Mr Niere feared the worst when strong winds ripped through the village, toppling the traditional houses one by one.
Without a wheelchair and frightened for his life, Mr Niere used his hands to propel himself about 200 metres to a safehouse, which remarkably survived the wind and rain.
He says that he was here by himself and there were trees lying around here and how he can walk using his hands he managed to go there, interpreter John John Kawiel said.
Mr Niere escaped his home in the nick of time.
His house fell as soon as he left the house - by chance he left the house at the time the house collapse - the old house, Mr Kawiel said.
Simon David was one of 40 people who was crammed into the villages one home which was still standing. He said Mr Nieres arrival was met with high emotion.
When we found disabled coming we were very sad and some are crying for him and we took him inside and give him a clothes to wear, Mr David said.
Almost four months on from Cyclone Pam and Iwel has rebuilt, but even in the days and weeks after the category five front hit, there were dangers.
A month after the cyclone, Iawillum Charlie was weaving beneath a huge Banyan tree when a branch fell and knocked her unconscious.
The mother-of-six said she was lucky to survive.
She was unconscious but she still alive she's getting better - the treatments she still receiving the treatments from the accident, Mr Kawiel said.
Simon David sayid the small community had grown even closer since Pam arrived and departed in March
We feel very strong because we are facing the strong cyclone and we get a new ideas to build a strong houses, we help each other to re-build the house for each other, he said.

A member of the defence section at the Australian embassy in Thailand who allegedly crashed his motorbike into a Thai man and left him permanently paralysed has offered just $400 in compensation, according to the injured man's family.
In the June 14 accident, an Australian warrant officer riding an unregistered superbike collided with 62-year-old Suchart Rotkaew, according to an official police report into the incident.
The police report, seen by AAP, said the collision occurred in central Bangkok when the superbike struck Mr Suchart's bicycle.
Both parties were injured and unable to make statements. They were taken to hospital, the police report says.
The warrant officer cited the Australian embassy in Bangkok as his address.
Mr Suchart's son, Veerachon Rotkaew, told AAP his father would never be able to work again.
"The doctor said he had a brain haemorrhage," and had surgery to the left side of his brain.
"(His left) body, hands, feet, he can't move at all. He can only move on his right side of the body," Mr Veerachon said.
Mr Suchart worked as a security guard and owned a small garage.
Mr Veerachon said there had been little contact with the warrant officer since the accident.
"Fees for helping, the travelling expenses, they gave us 10,000 baht ($A400) for that," he said.
The family will have to rely on Thai social security to care for Mr Suchart. They had hoped funds would be available from insurance payments, but the Thai police report says the Australian's bike was unregistered, leaving in doubt any insurance claims.
A longstanding restriction on Australian military personnel in Thailand riding motorcycles was recently lifted despite Thailand's high record of motorbike accidents.
A Defence Department spokesperson said in an email Australian Defence Force members working at overseas posts must adhere to the local road rules.
"Defence generally does not place limitations on personnel operating any type of motor vehicle overseas, provided they meet host-nation licensing and other regulatory requirements for the vehicle they are operating," the spokesperson said.

Two men jailed for the murder of an Australian businessman in Bali have responded angrily after getting heavier sentences than the victim's wealthy wife, who planned the hit.
Adolf Malo Rangga and Martin Ngongo Bili have been sentenced to 15 years in jail for their parts in the murder of Robert Ellis, 60, in October last year.
Noor Ellis, his wife of 25 years, was last month jailed for 12 years for arranging five men to ambush her husband in their Sanur villa, and directing two maids to clean up the mess after his throat was slashed on the kitchen floor.
Mr Ellis' family slammed the lenient sentence, which the prosecution will not appeal.
Rangga hit back at the judges in Denpasar District Court on Monday, asking why they were punished more harshly.
Chief Judge Ahmad Peten Sili said he "should be grateful".
"You killed a man. A planned killing should be punished with death," he said.
"It's so easy for you to kill people ... You're dangerous.
"If someone told you to carry a bag of rice, that would be OK.
"But you were told to kill a man, and you were willing?"
Martin, meanwhile, sat alongside Rangga crying.
Their lawyer, Hari Purwanto, said he would consider an appeal.
The men were the last of the five to be arrested for the crime, after a manhunt on the island of Sumba.
Police alleged Martin made arrangements for the hit "starting from the strategy, finance and recruiting the killers".
Rangga's role, said police, was to hold Mr Ellis down while another man slit his throat.
Mr Ellis's body was found wrapped in plastic in a rice field.
His wife eventually confessed to involvement in the crime, telling police her husband had been unfaithful and withheld money from her.
Friends of the late businessman have since tried to straighten the record, saying his Indonesian wife was well provided for, and it was she who was the unfaithful partner.

An Australian who tried to help the family of a missing Bali girl, who was later found murdered, will reportedly help the police investigation into the family who adopted her.
The case of Engeline has gripped Indonesia since she was reported missing from her Sanur home in May.
Three weeks after a social media-led campaign to find her, the eight-year-old's body was found buried under the chicken coop of her home, clutching a doll.
Police first arrested a guard who worked at the house but have since named Engeline's adopted mother, Margaret Christine Megawe, a suspect, and are investigating other family members.
In the latest twist in the case, Margaret's daughter is being investigated for trying to extort an Australian man who responded to the missing girl campaign.
Indonesian media reports say Sydney man Chris Burn contacted Yvonne and was told kidnappers were demanding a Rp 150 million ($15,000) ransom for Engeline.
He became suspicious when the woman continued to ask for money.
Bali police intend to interview him on Wednesday.

A third person has died from injuries suffered in a water park explosion in Taiwan.
The 20-year-old man died shortly after being taken home on Monday morning from Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in New Taipei, the state-run Central News Agency reported.
He had arrived in hospital with burns to over 50 per cent of his body after the flammable powder exploded at the Formosa Water Park in New Taipei on June 27, The Apple Daily reported.
The accident has caused three deaths.
A 20-year-old woman and a 19-year-old man died last week.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare said late on Sunday that 282 people remained in intensive care, with 237 of them in life-threatening condition.
The cause of the explosion remains under investigation, according to New Taipei City Government.
Investigators said last week that the probe had focused on more than 40 cigarettes left at the scene.

Health officials say a 36-year-old foreigner who arrived in the Philippines from the Middle East is under quarantine after testing positive for the MERS virus.
Health Secretary Janette Garin said authorities were trying to trace 200-odd passengers who were on the same flight to Manila as the foreigner.
At least seven people who had close contact with the patient are under home quarantine.
The patient initially arrived in the Philippines from Saudi Arabia, but also stayed in Dubai before flying to Manila.
The patient's home country has not been disclosed.

Two men jailed for the murder of an Australian businessman in Bali have responded angrily after getting heavier sentences than the victim's wealthy wife, who planned the hit.
Adolf Malo Rangga and Martin Ngongo Bili have been sentenced to 15 years in jail for their parts in the murder of Robert Ellis, 60, in October last year.
Noor Ellis, his wife of 25 years, was last month jailed for 12 years for arranging five men to ambush her husband in their Sanur villa, and directing two maids to clean up the mess after his throat was slashed on the kitchen floor.
Mr Ellis' family slammed the lenient sentence, which the prosecution will not appeal.
Rangga hit back at the judges in Denpasar District Court on Monday, asking why they were punished more harshly.
Chief Judge Ahmad Peten Sili said he "should be grateful".
"You killed a man. A planned killing should be punished with death," he said.
"It's so easy for you to kill people ... You're dangerous.
"If someone told you to carry a bag of rice, that would be OK.
"But you were told to kill a man, and you were willing?"
Martin, meanwhile, sat alongside Rangga crying.
Their lawyer, Hari Purwanto, said he would consider an appeal.
The men were the last of the five to be arrested for the crime, after a manhunt on the island of Sumba.
Police alleged Martin made arrangements for the hit "starting from the strategy, finance and recruiting the killers".
Rangga's role, said police, was to hold Mr Ellis down while another man slit his throat.
Mr Ellis's body was found wrapped in plastic in a rice field.
His wife eventually confessed to involvement in the crime, telling police her husband had been unfaithful and withheld money from her.
Friends of the late businessman have since tried to straighten the record, saying his Indonesian wife was well provided for, and it was she who was the unfaithful partner.

Malaysia's prime minister is facing the risk of a criminal charge over allegations that millions of dollars were funnelled from an indebted state fund to his personal bank accounts.
The attorney general confirmed late on Saturday he had received documents from an official investigation that made the link between Prime Minister Najib Razak and the investment fund 1MDB.
The existence of the documents was first reported by the Asian Wall Street Journal on Friday, showing about $US700 million ($A916.71 million) were wired from entities linked to the fund into Najib's accounts.
The documents sent to the attorney general pave the way for possible criminal charges.
This is the first time a Malaysian leader faces criminal allegations.

Some hard-working rats may have proven exercise is just what you need to stay on top of your work, researchers say.
In a new study from Otago University, psychologists have found lab rats that had one 20-minute session of exercise, five days a week, did significantly better in productivity tests than their couch-potato counterparts.
The study's author, psychology lecturer Kristin Hillman, said the exercised rats completed more tasks to earn food and did so more quickly and efficiently.
She said the test was a great way of demonstrating the importance of fitness on mental wellbeing for humans too.
"Links between exercise and occupational or educational achievement are starting to be noted in humans, but these links are largely correlations and can be riddled with confounding psychosocial factor," she said.
"By using an animal model we obviously eliminate such factors, and are able to demonstrate a causal relationship between regular exercise and generalised industriousness."
The study appears in US scientific journal PLOS ONE.

At more than two metres tall and weighing 180kg, a former Napier councillor charged with murder was just too big to save his drowning wife, he says.
Peter Beckett, a Hastings-born 59-year-old is awaiting trial in Canada, accused of not only killing his wife, but also with trying to arrange the murder of five witnesses, including his wife's parents, a policeman who investigated his case and a lawyer.
Beckett's wife, Canadian school teacher Laura Letts-Beckett, drowned in August 2010 while fishing on Arrow Lake, 200km east of Kamloops, where the trial will be heard.
The man, described as having a booming voice with a thick Kiwi accent and calling himself "the real Mr Big", says it was all an "amazing love story" that ended in tragedy.
The pair met in 1995, while then-35-year-old Ms Letts was travelling New Zealand as a tourist.
Beckett was married with four kids at the time.
Sparks flew between the pair after a chance meeting, he told a local radio station.
"I'd had break-ups before, I'd fallen in love before but this was different than that."
Eight years later Beckett sold everything he owned and moved to Canada, with the pair marrying shortly after.
But the relationship turned rocky and they filed for divorce in 2007 after Mrs Letts-Beckett accused Beckett of abuse, although they reconciled later.
He claims he and his wife were fishing when a gust of wind blew an umbrella off their boat, causing her to fall overboard, and he tried to rescue her but failed because he was too big to stay submerged.
He ran to collect a rock to weigh himself down and later tried to resuscitate her on the shore, he said.
But the Crown says Beckett is a calculating killer who killed Mrs Letts-Beckett by shoving her off the boat.
Beckett has changed lawyers a number of times and alleges abuse of process, bias by police and court officials, and failure of the Crown to disclose documents.
"The [Royal Mounted Canadian Police] are financially given incentive to solve crimes," he told local newspaper Kamloops This Week.
"In this case, they tried to invent a crime that didn't exist. The RCMP want to get their man, even though there was no crime in the first place."
More than four years after Mrs Letts-Beckett's death a jury was picked for the Supreme Court trial from Kamloops, a town of 85,000 people, in January.
He was arrested in August 2011 and has been awaiting trial since.

New Zealand police say a mother and her three young children killed when a car was left running in a garage in Ashburton, on South Island, could have been dead a week.
Police believe Cindy George, 31, was checking the house for family and friends who were away, and started the car belonging to the house owner to charge the battery.
The garage door was closed, but the internal door connecting the garage to the modern air-tight house was open.
Relatives found Ms George in the hallway near the garage of the house in Tinwald on Thursday afternoon.
Her three children - Pio Scarlet Jetejura Raukete, five, Teuruaa Junior George, three, and Telyzshaun Gordon Ricardo Nelder Kruz George, two - were found sitting in the lounge with the television they were watching still on.
Police don't know exactly when they died.
"It could be a matter of days, up to possibly a week," Superintendent John Price, the Canterbury district police commander, said on Friday afternoon.
"We believe that what has happened here is simply a terrible accident."
Officers were trying to establish the family's movements and working to establish exactly what happened.
Toxicology samples had been taken, but those results won't be released for a few more weeks, he said.
Their bodies have been taken to Christchurch where post-mortems will take place on Monday.
"At that stage we'll have a better idea of the cause of death," Supt Price said.
The children's father, who was separated from Ms George, lives in Ashburton.
He is being supported by the community, Supt Price said.
The matter will be referred to the coroner.
There was no trauma to any of the deceased and there was no forced entry to the house, Supt Price said.
The car in the garage had run out of petrol and the battery was flat when emergency services arrived.

The country's biggest newspaper, the New Zealand Herald, fell "sadly short" of highest professional standards in a story about the waitress who had her hair pulled by Prime Minister John Key, the media watchdog says.
In a newly released ruling, the Press Council says then-Herald columnist Rachel Glucina failed to properly represent herself to Aucklander Amanda Bailey, who anonymously complained Mr Key had tugged her hair on numerous occasions at her cafe.
Ms Bailey wrote on the left-wing Daily Blog complaining about the incidents in April, prompting an apology from the prime minister and a media uproar.
Shortly after, the Herald ran a story by Glucina revealing Ms Bailey's name and featuring photos and an interview with the waitress.
Ms Bailey complained she had been duped into doing the article, saying her employers, friends of Glucina's, had told her she was a PR consultant who would release a media statement for her.
The council said there was an "element of subterfuge" in what Glucina had done in not making clear to Ms Bailey she was a reporter and there was not enough public interest to justify it.
"The onus was on Ms Glucina as a professional media person to make the position completely clear to all parties, particularly to Ms Bailey, with whom she had had no previous contact, who was in a vulnerable position, and whose interests could well have been in conflict with those of the cafe owner's," it said.
The Press Council was concerned with maintaining the press in accordance with the highest professional standards, it said.
"The NZ Herald has fallen sadly short of those standards in this case."
The multiple complainants did not include Ms Bailey herself.
The Herald has denied the accusations of subterfuge and Glucina has since left the company.
It remains unclear whether Ms Bailey's employers knew the article would be printed in the Herald.

Indonesia's Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi considers Julie Bishop one of the ministers she is closest to, but they don't necessarily communicate through the media, her spokesman says.
Indonesian Foreign Ministry spokesman Arrmanatha Nasir doesn't agree with the previous minister Marty Natalegawa's assessment that communication between the two countries has diminished with recent tensions.
"The Australian foreign minister is one of the closest with our foreign minister," he told reporters in Jakarta on Thursday.
Mr Nasir said the ministers had maintained a good relationship despite recent differences between the neighbours over the executions of two Australians and asylum-seeker boat policy.
"Both of them are women in a very tough global political arena, since the very beginning they have been communicating ... and it's still going on," he said.
At the ministerial level, Australia had sent condolences after Indonesia's military plane crash in Sumatra this week, and remained engaged at lower levels of government, too.
The dialogue wasn't always done in public, Mr Nasir said.
"Is it necessary that every time we have communication, we report it to the media?" he said.
He did not agree with the pessimistic view of Dr Natalegawa, who this week said the nations were at a "critical juncture".
"In a relationship, there's certainly ups and downs, that's a common dynamic," he said.
"We can't say it's at the lowest or not.
"The most important thing is the communication is still going on, it's running well.
"The co-operation in programs is also working.
"The most important thing is that there's good intentions from Australia and Indonesia to keep trying, improving, maintaining relations."
Mr Nasir believed the ministers' next meeting would be the East Asia Summit, due to be held in Malaysia in November.
Ms Bishop, too, disagreed with Dr Natalegawa's criticism, arguing communication was at an "all-time high".
However, Ms Bishop's response to Ms Retno's request for more information on claims a boat crew was paid to return to Indonesia last month did not contain a full explanation, according to Indonesia's ministry.
In March, Jakarta responded tersely when correspondence from Ms Bishop urging a stay of execution for Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran went public.
The letter, which began "My dear Retno", offered to pay costs for the men to remain in prison for life.
At the time, Mr Nasir accused Australia of "diplomacy by media".
Indonesia executed the men in April despite the diplomatic efforts.

A bus carrying a group of South Koreans has fallen off a highway bridge in northeastern China, killing 10 people, officials say.
The accident took place on Wednesday after the vehicle left the northeastern Chinese city of Ji'an and was about halfway to its destination of Dandong, which borders North Korea, the official Xinhua News agency said.
The Ji'an government said on its official microblog that 10 people died, all of them South Korean.
Earlier state media reports had said two of the victims were Chinese.
South Korean officials said 26 South Koreans were on the bus as part of a 140-person delegation of mainly South Korean government employees.
They were in China to tour historical sites, including places where Korean independence fighters resisted Japan's colonial rule before the end of World War II, according to officials from the South Korean Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs.
The bus was part of a six-bus caravan, South Korean officials said.
Photos circulating online showed the bus resting on its top in shallow water under the bridge.

Wendy Williams fans are watching her like a hawk after all of the drama that she's reportedly been going through in the past few weeks.
According to E! News, Williams previously spoke out about her marriage to husband Kevin Hunter and his past infidelity in her 2001 memoir, Wendy's Got Heat. Her words are now resurfacing amid allegations that Hunter has been cheating and that he and his mistress, Sharina Hudson, recently welcomed a baby together.
In the book, Williams reveals that she caught Hunter cheating on her years ago when he was on the phone with his mistress.
"I needed to know if she was in love? Was he in love? Were condoms used? Is she pregnant? Was she laying up in the Marriott with him?" Williams wrote, adding that she hired a private investigator to follow her husband's mistress and get information for her.
Wendy then revealed that she would leave her husband if he lied about anything, including if he was in love with his mistress, if the woman was successful in her career, or if she had his baby.
As previously reported by The Inquisitr, Williams recently took a month off from her talk show. When she returned, she revealed that she had been living in a sober house due to addiction issues.
Earlier this week, after it was reported that Wendy's husband and his alleged mistress welcomed a baby together, she was reportedly found drunk after relapsing on alcohol. Williams was taken to the hospital and treated.
The next day, she returned to work and did her show, but did not talk about any of her personal issues such as her marriage or addiction. She simply proceeded with the show like normal, not letting fans see a crack in her facade.
Meanwhile, Radar Online reports that Wendy's husband had gotten his mistress pregnant two times in the past during their 10-year relationship, and that she had the pregnancies terminated.
Williams, Hunter, and Hudson have all stayed quiet on the divorce rumors, baby speculation, and cheating scandal in general.

Roasted Artichokes Alcachofas al Ajillo
Fry them, dipped side down until golden. Cook for 6-7 minutes, until the artichoke hearts begin to brown. Cooked unsalted artichoke is 82% water, 12% carbohydrates, 3% protein, and 3% fat .
Heat butter and half of your olive oil in a small non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add drained artichoke hearts. Once the tomatoes soften and the garlic browns, turn off the heat. Sprinkle with fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Frozen artichoke hearts are a time-saving substitute, though the consistency and stronger flavor of fresh hearts when available is preferred. Deep-fried artichoke hearts are eaten in coastal areas of California. In Italy, artichoke hearts in oil are the usual vegetable for the "spring" section of the "four seasons" pizza . A recipe well known in Rome is Jewish-style artichokes, which are deep-fried whole. The softer parts of artichokes are also eaten raw, one leaf at the time dipped in vinegar and olive oil, or thinly sliced and dressed with lemon and olive oil. This recipe can be vegetarian if you omit the jamón, but in that case, make sure to season the buñuelos with a little extra salt.
The globe artichoke genome has been sequenced. The genome assembly covers 725 of the 1,084 Mb genome and the sequence codes for about 27,000 genes. Artichoke is the primary botanical ingredient of the Italian aperitif Cynar, with 16.5% alcohol by volume, produced by the Campari Group. It can be served over ice as an aperitif or as a cocktail mixed with orange juice, which is especially popular in Switzerland.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook gently until artichokes are very tender, 30 to 40 minutes. This is an edible plant which consists of many leaves which make up the 'head' of the artichoke. At the base of each leaf is a fleshy part which is edible.
The Spanish are experts when it comes to frying foods without making them heavy and greasy. Buñuelos, fritters made with various fillings, most commonly salted cod in Spain, are a perfect example of this. Buñuelos de alcachofa, or artichoke fritters, have a deliciously light, crunchy exterior that gives way to tender artichoke hearts of the highest quality. In this recipe we serve buñuelos de alcachofa with rich jamón ibérico, a squeeze of lemon juice and a pimentón-laced alioli. Throughout North Africa, the Middle East, Turkey, and Armenia, ground lamb is a favorite filling for stuffed artichoke hearts.
Arroyo has packaged small pots of cooked broad beans so you can accompany meat and fish or prepare other traditional recipes. Five daily intakes based on artichokes and plenty of water for three consecutive days ensure the loss of one kilo per day. In the following days, other foods can be incorporated into the diet and accompanied bowling ball serial number search by commercial preparations. Artichoke versus milk thistle has many advantages. As has been said before, each of them has specific properties in the liver that you should differentiate to know which one should be used in each case. The artichoke facilitates the function of the liver; the milk thistle protects it.
These are inedible in older, larger flowers. At our factory, we calibrate and select the best items to prepare our products. Only whole, clean and fresh looking artichokes free from disease and without any signs of damage or marks are used for canning.

Physicians spend years studying to become practicing doctors. First, they must study for four years in pre-medical classes in a College or University and then take the MCAT admission test. Then, after completing 4 years of medical school, medical students must then apply for acceptance in a residency training program. After completing residency training, physicians can either seek additional training in fellowship specialty training or begin practicing medicine once taking and passing a nationally recognized licensing exam and becoming officially licensed in a particular state. There are several categories of physician jobs which include a solo practice with 1 physician, a group practice of 2 or more physicians either single specialty or multi-specialty and an employed physician practice. Read on to learn more about physician jobs.
Solo practices only have one physician without any partners. Solo practices are especially good for those doctors specializing in internal medicine in rural or suburban areas. A solo practice usually has a small office staff and a limited number of patients. As a solo physician, you can design your practice as you wish, get to know your patients on a personal level and practice medicine in your own personal style. The potential downsides of a solo practice include increased financial risk, paying for your own malpractice insurance, having all responsibility for hospital care and weekend patient coverage and loss of income if you become ill or go on vacation.
A group practice has tw0 or more physicians and can practice either only one medical specialty or consist of multi-specialty practitioners. Advantages of a group practice includes increased financial security, an improved lifestyle, better employee benefits, and decreased administrative tasks. In addition, in a group practice there is reduced hospital, weekend and evening on-call duties. A drawback to practicing in a group practice is that there is less decision-making ability about how the practice is run and managed.
Employed physician practices include solo and group practices, ambulatory clinics, and inpatient facilities which are managed and owned by hospitals and medical corporations. Physicians are employees of the hospital or corporation allowing them to spend less time in administrative duties and more time practicing medicine. Physicians have guaranteed salaries and employee benefits with reduced evening, inpatient, and weekend call schedules. Physicians may have certain productivity requirement, scheduling and patient contact demands, along with a limited referral capacity.
There are several types of physician jobs including solo practice, group practice, and employed physician practice. Each type of physician job had advantages and disadvantages which should be carefully considered before deciding which type of practice milieu is best suited for you and your particular type of medical practice.

Fi and Katie meet for the first time when Katie is born. They've been siblings ever since.
1984ish:
Being the children of two doctors, Fi and Katie have always had healthcare
in their blood. Now they have a photo that proves it.
Fi graduates from Leeds university with a degree in genetics
and a depleted liver.
Katie graduated from UWE with a degree in biomedical sciences and a depleted liver.
2000 to 2016:
Fi and Katie both take up gainful employment in the healthcare communications industry, in a
wide variety of roles, both in-house and freelance.
After talking about it for years, Fi and Katie decide to take the plunge and start their own healthcare
Skin and Blister is born.
communications agency. But what to call it? Early ideas included Kindred (somebody else had it), Kind (reminded them too much of a Kinder Surprise), Brave (thanks for nothing, Pixar), before eventually settling on Skin and Blister. Because it's related to healthcare. And it's cockney rhyming slang for 'sister'.
July 1st 2016:
Fi and Katie realise that Skin and Blister was born without a single client. Panic ensues.
Skin and Blister are successful with their first ever pitch, winning for diabetes and vascular
care in Ireland. They learn a lot about the private healthcare system in Ireland, and have a Guinness or two to celebrate.
Katie meets the Head of Procurement at Roche. Four months later, Skin and Blister
are invited to pitch.
Skin and Blister are awarded a product launch for Roche and Chugai. Katie can finally buy
a new boiler. She hasn't been able to feel her feet for several months by this point.
The team start working with their first Clinical Research Organisation (CRO) client. Fi celebrates
by buying a tumble dryer. She can't overstate what a life-changing purchase it was for her (and her three kids).
Skin and Blister are finalists for Digital Team of the Year. They don't win on the night, but
their tweet about a piss up in a brewery is called out as tweet of the night, which is almost as good.
The Skin and Blister team has grown to 15 people.
Skin and Blister wrote this timeline and put it on their website. They now need to try and get out
of the habit of referring to themselves in the third person.

Home / Education / How do we use physics in everyday life?
Airbags in cars: The security feature plays a very important role in protecting the life of the drivers and passengers. It is based on the principle of Newton which says that every action has equal and opposite reaction. As soon as the head hits the steering wheel, the bag pops up and prevents the grievous head injuries.
Bullet from the gun: One of the most important physical applications can be seen inside the gun when the bullet is fired. Once it leaves the barrel, an equal and opposite force is exerted in the opposite direction by the bullet. Therefore, a person should take precautions or else he/ she might end up injuring the shoulders.
Ultrasound and X-ray: Physics plays a very important role in the medical field as it is used for designing the diagnosis equipment. For instance, the ultrasound machine is used to capture the images of the tumor or the child inside the body. The sound waves collide with the hard objects within the stomach and return back to create the pictures.
Similarly, X-ray machine is also based on the physical fundamentals as it can be used to capture the snaps of bones and ascertain whether they are broken.
Obtaining fuel based energy: Use of oil in obtaining energy to drive the vehicle is an everyday affair. It is only possible by deploying the physical processes in tandem to get the desired results. In addition, the nuclear-powered plants break the atoms to release energy so that they could be used for generating electricity. The old laws of physics help us to complete the task in a seamless and amazing manner.
Internet: Communication is the most important aspect of life since the dawn of civilization. With the arrival of the 20th century, the telephone was invented to transmit the voice signals in the air. It was possible due to the usage of physics, however, it was not the end of scientific innovation as the telephones of the yester years were replaced by the data transfer mechanism of the modern times also called the internet.
Physical laws played an important role in the invention of computers to aid the evolution of the internet. High-speed processors were designed from the silicon components which became very popular around the world. Today we use the internet to send an email and chat with friends as well as family members situated across the globe. Distance has shrunk dramatically providing sterling results to the users.
In short, physics rules our lives as we all know that gravitational force of the earth helps us to stay relatively at rest. In the absence of the pull of the earth, we would be sailing across the sky.

If you applied to a college in line with the date and different pointers, likelihood is you most likely qualify for an academic scholarship, assuming you meet the eligibility requirements. Many faculties routinely award these scholarships to everybody who, for instance, has a GPA of three.7 or higher. However, some schools may need you to fill out extra paperwork, or even apply separately.
Data from Great Britain and Canada typically has more affect. I saw various times how knowledge of medium importance created plenty of volatility and brought about huge strikes in Canadian greenback pairs. From my expertise I can say that information from Australia which is marked of excessive significance strikes the worth in 1 out of four cases. It seldom has quick response available in the market and a dealer may simply as properly take a technical commerce with out bothering himself about elementary information. So, a newbie trader should focus solely on knowledge coming in European and American sessions.

Also The Scientific Method — In a broad sense, science is the exploration and search for the truth about all things that are able to be experimentally demonstrated through the application of methodical, and self-consistent, processes and tools. The most primary of tools used in science is the Scientific Method, in which a theory's Predictions must agree with Observation.
To simplify: The Scientific Method is the informed formulation of a theory, which makes unique, testable predictions, along with the testing of those predictions by physical experimentation. If the experiments show that the predictions made by the theory actually occur in practice, then that is taken as evidence for the correctness of the theory. If the experiments show that the predictions made by the theory are not produced in practice, then that is taken as evidence that the theory is wrong.
To simplify further: Science says "show me." It is the insistence that any theory asserted be demonstrated to be valid by making a prediction based on the theory, and then performing physical experiments to determine if the prediction made by the theory actually happens in the physical universe.
The scientific method is composed, generally, of four components
Observation and description of a phenomenon or group of phenomena, for example, a causal or coincident relationship. The description is often expressed in mathematical notation, but the only requirement is that it be unambiguously described.
Formulation of a hypothesis to explain the phenomena. Most adherents, though not all, agree that this also must be unambiguously described.
Use of the hypothesis to predict the existence of other observed phenomena, or to predict the results of new/future observations.
Performance of experimental tests of the theory's predictions by several independent experimenters with properly designed and executed experiments.
If the experiments are performed, and the predicted behavior occurs, then the theory is considered to be validated by the experiments. On the other hand, if the predicted behavior does not occur, then the theory is considered to be invalidated by the experiments. This is not as final as it sounds, especially for the "valid" branch. It is usually considered to be evidence in support of the theory's validity, and not (almost never, but with a few contentiously notable exceptions) considered proof of the theory's validity.
In other words Science is the business of coming up with an explanation (a theory) that perfectly explains all current observations of a phenomenon, and that correctly predicts all future observations. A theory is invalid, if its predictions about future observations turn out to be incorrect.
One of the better attempts to sum up the scientific method in a pithy phrase, is this one:
"It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is,
it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't
agree with experiment, it's wrong."
Hard vs Soft Science
Colloquially, science is often separated into hard, and soft sciences.
Restricting the broader sense alluded to above, are the hard sciences, which are (generally) all those based in phenomena that are volumetric (three dimensions plus time). These include objects and forces that occupy space and time. They are generally referred to broadly as "physics," with many sub-disciplines.
On the other hand, the soft sciences generally include disciplines that attain to a better understanding of phenomena and entities that are non-volumetric in nature. These include, for example, phenomenal consciousness, and entities that are comprised of it, such as people, societies of people, and behavior. These disciplines include well-known subjects, such as psychiatry and psychology, but also include many of the philosophies, such as the science of mind (i.e., mind/brain, and cognitive studies), as well as the philosophy of science itself (e.g., Karl Popper).
Hard and soft sciences are both able—and expected—to employ the scientific method to achieve their goals.
The Doctrine of Falsifiability
Relatively recently Karl Popper has refined what it means for a theory to be a truly scientific theory, by introducing the doctrine of falsifiability. Simply, it states that in order for a theory to be considered serious and scientifically rigorous it must be falsifiable. It can't be open-ended, constrained only by the passage of some unspecified duration of time. That is, it must be possible to name some experiment which, if performed, could show the theory to be invalid. A "theory" that can never be experimentally demonstrated to be wrong can never be invalidated, even if it has not been proven valid after centuries of trying. Sadly, since one of the most vaunted, and subscribed-to "theories" of our time, turns out to be unfalsifiable, many people have railed against this simple, common-sense scientific doctrine.
Repeatability
There is a general requirement in the scientific method that multiple experimenters, working independently of one another, must be able to reproduce the experiments and obtain results that are consistent with the original scientist's results. This not only allows other scientists to ensure repeatability, but allows them to refine the original experiments and weed out any errors in their design. It also allows them to come up with entirely new predictions that the theory makes, along with experiments which validate or invalidate those predictions. In modern "science," this step has been almost completely conflated with, and replaced by something called peer review, which has, in practice, become a mutually beneficial social activity.
What Science Is Not
Science is not peer review
No matter how you dress it up and make it look formal and rigorous, peer review is, ultimately, just a popularity contest, and the trouble with popularity contests is that the one with lots of money to spend is always going to be the most popular (e.g., this).
Science is the attempt to evaluate, categorize, and classify experimentally knowable phenomena through the application of methodical tools such as logic, and (most primarily) the scientific method. The only way a scientist, following the scientific method could review a fellow scientist's work, is to perform the experiments herself and make her results available to the public.
Science is not asserting a point of view, or opinion, and then finding/developing a group of allies who will validate and promote your expressed beliefs (see, for example, Sokal, Alan). That which is called peer review within academic and industry settings is, in fact, indistinguishable from the process referred to in high school as a clique, or popularity contest.
It could be argued that countering this grouping/schooling/flocking/herding behavior within normal human nature is part of the reason the scientific method needed to be developed.
Science is not The Jerry Springer Show
When confronted with an opposing view, science's only retort is "show me." Science does not resort to personal attacks, nor does it call, or work, for the personal, economic, or career destruction of those with opposing views. Such attacks tend to take on two distinct characters. On the one hand, there are large multinational interests with huge amounts of money on the line, who may see such revenues directly threatened by a given scientist. In these cases many millions are spent on advertising campaigns, as well as whisper campaigns in an attempt, not merely to counter a scientist's threatening positions, but to destroy the scientist himself.
On the other hand, and much more common, are attacks on the Internet, made by anonymous people claiming to be scientists. More often than not, these are youthful males, waiting for mom to call them down for dinner.
Science is not cynical
Science is skeptical about all things and assumes nothing. When faced with an assertion, science neither believes the assertion to be true, nor believes it to be false. The primary response is always "let us see."
Cynicism, in this context, is identical to optimism. That is, they both assume a specific conclusion to be the overwhelmingly likely conclusion. Cynicism always assumes a negative conclusion, while optimism always assumes a positive conclusion. Ideally, there is no place for this in science as it is defined here.
Science is not new or modern
The methodical search for the truth, in which assertions are validated or invalidated based on observation, has been a part of the human experience throughout recorded history. In fact, many of the philosophies, and notions, upon which the scientific method is based, can be found in age-old texts. Consider the above attempts to present the scientific method as succinctly as possible, then note this verse from Deuteronomy:
-~=~-
"If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place
or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has
spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed."
— Deuteronomy 18:22
Science is not coy
In the general sense, it doesn't really matter how many degrees you have, or how many of your "peers" are willing to vouch for you, if you're not showing your work, you're not doing science.
Your work includes all raw data, including the raw data you may have culled and your reasons for culling it. How you may have preprocessed and normalized it (algorithms and procedures), the input data after it has been preprocessed and normalized. The procedures and algorithms used in the experiments, and the full design (code and algorithms) of any processing models and simulations used.
Science is not the religion of the same name
A relatively new religion has sprung up that goes by the name "science." It isn't the science being defined in this entry, which I'll refer to here as real science to avoid confusion with the religion. Science, the religion —being a religion— is the antithesis of science as defined here. Real science makes no claim of unquestionable authority. In fact, countering appeals to authority (which were being made by the primary authority of the time, the Catholic Church) was a precise, expressed purpose for developing the scientific method.
Real Science:
Invites questioning from all quarters, considering it THE primary means to test and refine its theories and understanding
including this relatively new one that goes by the same name, often smears, silences, and persecutes anyone who questions its authority or its central assertions. Perhaps, most unscientific of all, it makes such claims based solely on its promoted authority, without admitting any need to demonstrate the veracity of its assertions through observational evidence. Worse, it aggressively moves to silence any and all observational evidence that contradicts its assertions.
In short, if it isn't inviting questioning, and skepticism, it isn't science. If it is hostile toward questioning and skepticism, it is a religion.
Science is not excuses
If your theory makes a prediction that future observations show was wrong, your theory is wrong. Your theory doesn't get a do-over. You need to come up with a new theory that is completely consistent with all the current observations, including the new observation that your old theory failed to properly predict. Promoting a position that claims your theory is essentially correct and that reality was simply wrong in this one instance is not science. It is, in fact, an example of the kind of foibles of human thinking that make real science so necessary and useful in the pursuit of the truth.

COVID-19 in South Dakota: 18 deaths reported Wednesday
Danielle Ferguson
After nearly half of a week recording no new additional deaths, South Dakota reported 18 people died from COVID-19 Wednesday, according to the Department of Health.
The additional deaths brings the number of South Dakotans who have died due to COVID-19-related complications to 1,464.
The state reported 562 new cases, which came from 4,341 tests.
Hospitalizations dropped by 10 to 293 and a reported 553 people recovered from the illness.
As of Wednesday, 98,309 South Dakotans have had COVID-19.
Seven deaths were reported in each age group of those aged 80 and older and in aged 70 to 79, while four were reported in those in their 60s.
More:South Dakota to receive 11K weekly vaccine doses through mid-January
Minnehaha County saw the biggest increase in cases with 122. Other counties that reported an increase include: Pennington (88); Lincoln (48); Brookings (30); Brown (25); Hughes (23); Meade (20); Yankton (19); Beadle (14); Oglala Lakota (11) and Clay (10).
The state has administered 18,960 doses of COVID-19 vaccine to as many people. As people start receiving second doses, that number will likely be reflected in the state's COVID-19 dashboard.
In Minnehaha County, 6,237 people have received one dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.
The state will not be holding its weekly briefing with media on Wednesday. Health leaders' last briefing was on Dec. 23, urging South Dakotans to take caution with holiday gatherings.

Take your salad fixings, combine them with your favorite pizza crust, and voilà — salad on bread. Or pizza topped with garden goodness. However you look at it, this light, chewy/crunchy crust, a tasty mixture of all-purpose and white whole wheat flours, is a wonderful base for all kinds of fresh ingredients.
We've included instructions for a baked ranch dressing-style sauce, but feel free to omit it — or substitute your favorite dressing, tossed with the toppings.
This recipe is a riff on our popular Now or Later Pizza, which details how to make these crusts ahead of time, then top and bake them when you're ready.
7 hrs 52 mins. to 1 days 14 hrs 4 mins.
To make the dough: Beat the dough ingredients at high speed of your electric mixer, using the beater blade, for 2 minutes. Scrape the dough to the bottom of the bowl, switch to the dough hook, and knead for 7 minutes at medium speed. The dough will be smooth and very soft, and may not clear the sides of the bowl. You can also make the dough in a bread machine set on the dough cycle. If kneading by hand, mix the ingredients, then let the dough rest, covered, for about 30 minutes; this will give the flours a chance to absorb the water, which will make kneading easier.
Allow the dough to rise, covered, for 45 minutes; then refrigerate it for 4 hours (or up to 36 hours); this step will develop the crust's flavor. It'll continue to rise in the fridge, so make sure it's in a big enough bowl.
Divide the dough in half. Note: for thicker, Sicilian-style pizza, leave the dough in one piece, and press it into a rimmed half-sheet pan (18" x 13").
Working with one piece of dough at a time, pick it up and let gravity gently stretch it into a circle, moving your hands around the perimeter of the dough as it stretches. For thinner-crust pizza, make a 12" round or oval. For a thicker crust, make a 10" round. Lay the crusts on lightly greased 12" pizza pans (or a couple of baking sheets).
When the crust has risen as much as you like, place the pan on the middle rack of your oven; if you're using two pans, place them on the lower and middle racks.
Bake for 8 minutes (for a thinner, larger crust), or for up to 10 minutes for a smaller/thicker crust. Rotate the crusts (top to bottom, bottom to top) midway through their bake. Remove the crusts from the oven; they should look set but not brown on top; and should be light to medium brown underneath.
While the crusts are baking, make the sauce. Stir together the mayonnaise and flour in a small saucepan. Set the pan over medium heat, and gradually stir in the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Some lumps will probably appear anyway; that's OK, just keep stirring and they'll eventually disappear.
When the sauce begins to thicken, stir in the dry ranch-style dressing mix. Stir to combine, and continue to cook gently, stirring regularly, until the sauce is as thick as heavy cream. Remove it from the heat.
Reduce the oven heat to 425°F. Spread the sauce onto the baked crusts, and return them to the oven. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes, until the sauce is hot and barely beginning to brown. Remove the crusts from the oven.
Top with your favorite "main course" salad ingredients, including leafy greens, cheese, tomatoes, bacon, diced roast chicken, etc. If the salad ingredients are very cold, return the pizzas to the oven for 30 seconds or so, just to warm the topping briefly.
Cut slices, place on plates, and serve with a knife and fork.
Yield: 2 pizzas, 8 to 12 servings.
Substitute semolina for the whole wheat flour, if desired. Or use 3 cups all-purpose flour OR 3 cups Perfect Pizza Blend in place of the all-purpose/white whole wheat mixture.
So, what about that Pizza Dough Flavor — can you leave it out if you don't have it? Well, it definitely gives delicious "pizza parlor punch" to any crust. It's not integral to the structure of the crust, and can thus be omitted; but it absolutely adds wonderful flavor.
Use the lesser amount of water in the summer, or in a humid environment; the greater amount in winter, or when it's dry.
Once you've baked the crusts until they're set (before adding sauce and toppings), you can choose to use one right away, and save one for another time. Cool the crust completely, then wrap in plastic. Store at cool room temperature for a couple of days; freeze for longer storage.
Crust is excellent and easy. Thanks to Elizabeth and her tips, I was able to use the pizza stone (given to me) for the 1st time before I had a baker's peel. The concept to me is great, because by husband being a vegetarian loves pizza's and salad. I adapted the sauce on the crust and used 1/4 greek yogurt and 2cps buttermilk with the flour. I added ranch dressing spices that until it tasted right to me. Worked perfect! I like the stages of rolling the crust...bake it. Add the sauce...bake it. THEN put on the salad and final cheese. NO GOOEY TOP!! Yeah. That's what I've done all my life making pizza is put everything on at once. It just doesn't work !! Middle would always be watery. I was so proud of myself. THE SALAD? Roasted Pear w/toasted sugared pecans. Garlic vinagrette for the kale, a circular drizzle of Russian French, which my hubby loves. The flavors melded perfectly with the cheeses, and salad. I did cook the final cheese and vegetables 7mins so to melt the fresh mozarella on top. The salad was fine also, and warmed up nicely without being overdone. CRUST??? Crispy and nice! It was so pretty I took several pictures. I am so grateful to the effort that the you all at KAF put in to make recipes that are easy enough and tasty for us, and creative. A++ Hubby wants another pizza!! It will be soon!
