The wait is almost over as we approach the launch weekend of Chesterfield's first Bavarian Bierhaus, Cocktail Bar & Kitchen!
Following an investment in excess of a quarter of a million pounds, Einstein's will officially open to the public on Friday 24th July, with a weekend of entertainment, first rate company, great beers and unique meals.
The Bavarian theme continues beyond its name, to the retro interior design and outside terraced area, complete with reclaimed wood; 8 meter long copper bar top; parquet flooring; handmade light fittings and lush plants, not to mention a beautifully restored German piano.
We're also excited to announce details of our exclusive range of great draught German beers, including firm favourites Erdinger, Warstëiner, Lowenbraü and Bitbürger. Accompanying these on a beautifully crafted bridge font will be a great selection of World beers, including Duvel and Leffe Blonde. All of our draught beer will be exclusively available in one and two-pint steins! The fridges will be stocked with over 50 world and craft beers, including gluten-free products and local brews, and we'll be delighted to offer a selection of local real ales and craft cider.
For the less beer-minded amongst you, we're delighted to be putting the finishing touches to our incomparable cocktail and wine selection – the perfect accompaniment to our outdoor terrace (which incidentally boats its own bar), this summer!
Opening daily from 12, we'll be proud to serve a great selection of German meals with a British twist throughout the daytime and early evening. Catch up with friends over a traditional flammkuchen (pizza), fill up on a plate of currywurst & bratkarloffein, graze on a pretzel, test out our schnitzel, or enjoy a goat's cheese & beetroot salad for lunch. A great selection of freshly brewed coffees and teas will be available daily at the bar.
In addition to the abundant beer and food selection, Einstein's will be proud to offer exclusive evenings of entertainment, from a weekly world quiz, to the lively atmosphere of a traditional bierkeller night, complete with live oompah band!
Directors, Benjamin Parr and Richard Qualter boast a collective 45 years in the bar and late night industry, spanning the UK, and are delighted to now be opening their newest venue in Benjamin's home-town of Chesterfield.
"It feels good to be giving something back to Chesterfield, I've been looking for the right opportunity for a new and exciting venture in Chesterfield for some time. We're pleased to be creating more than 40 jobs for local people." explains Black Cat Bars Director, Benjamin Parr.


This one-and-a-half-story pyramidal-roofed house features a gable centered on the façade and a projecting gabled bay on the right side. The house is three-bays wide and double pile with a hip-roofed addition across the rear. The hip-roofed front porch wraps around the right side of the house, terminating in the side gable. It is supported by round columns and retains its original railing. The house rests on a brick pier foundation and has pressed tin roof tiles and two interior corbelled brick chimneys. It retains original wood weatherboards and trim including boxed eaves, cornerboards, and a cornice return on the right gable. Windows are one-over-one replacement windows, though an original multi-light sash remains in the right gable end. The front door is a beveled-glass pane over a single panel. The house appears on the 1913 Sanborn map, but earliest known occupant is Robert L. Crumpacker (carpenter) in 1920. Crumpacker remained in the house through the 1940s and constructed the home next door (at 906 Burch) for his son, J. Patrick Crumpacker, in the late 1930s.
Garage, c. 1937 – One-story, front-gabled, frame garage with hinged garage doors. The building is sheathed in wide wood weatherboards and has an asphalt-shingled roof. It was built concurrent with 906 Burch Avenue and was shared between 902 and 906 Burch until the large lot was split.

Earth-like planets raise prospects of extra-terrestial life « previous next »

Re: Earth-like planets raise prospects of extra-terrestial life
Some extra considerations from Asimov:
If asteroid/kuiper belt/oort cloud civilizations form, they wouldn't have a psychological problem making the jump across to another system, even if it takes 1000 years, because they bring home with them.
The time it takes to cross the galaxy is going to be short on geological/astronomical time scales even if it is done at a small fraction of light. Like, if it's done at an average of only 0.5% of lightspeed (100 times as fast as the voyager probes), filling the whole galaxy will only take a few million years.
Dancing Fungus
Armor always looks cool with extra techno...right?
How could you have a civilization on an asteroid or a comet? They're tiny and airless. Even a whole cloud of them wouldn't warrant much of a civilization. And I don't think there would be enough resources to make any kind of colonization of an asteroid other than a small mining operation worth it.
Thrice thy blinded cat hath mewed....
You don't live ON the asteroid, you have spaceships which mine them, potentially completely.
You run on a minimal mass loss economy, so mining isn't important except to replenish what little you do lose, or to replace stuff that has been embrittled by radiation.
Kuiper belt and Oort cloud objects have plenty of hydrogen, so you can use fusion for energy.
This obviously requires very high technology, especially in recycling.
What kind of civilization would think that this adventure was worth it? Even if each one of your spaceships was practically a floating city you'd overpopulate them all easily. That would lead to further complications. Unless you aren't implying that a whole civilization would live there, only part of one instead.
And with all of the technological advancements necessary for such an endeavor, wouldn't it be way easier to just colonize planets? Even if these planets would take thousands of years to get to it would still be cheaper, easier, and more efficient.

The kind that comes from an overcrowded/threatened/dying planetary system and just needs to get away?
Even if each one of your spaceships was practically a floating city you'd overpopulate them all easily. That would lead to further complications. Unless you aren't implying that a whole civilization would live there, only part of one instead.
A spartan and careful civilisation, every couple just gets the two children. What is a civilization anyhow? Even if they started off as part of a larger one, after 500 or so years they'd be pretty unique anyhow.
Your civilisation could be heading towards another planetary system, bringing loads of people.
Also, maybe it's a xenophobic civilisation that wants to be left alone?
But why asteroids?
A spartan and careful civilisation, every couple just gets the two children.
Well, this might work for a little while, but if these critters are anything like humans [which they very well might not be] there will probably end up being all kinds of corruption, waste, and ultimately conflict. Whatever survives this inevitable mess will probably then pick up the pieces and make a another "careful" society, which will one day blow itself away too. This process would probably then repeat until the asteroids run out of suitable resources. Then what?
And what the Heck would they do if a spaceship breaks, accidentally or not, in a way that couldn't easily be repaired? Build a new one? Probably not since there would be few tools and nowhere to build it.
Tell me again about why planets would not work for this.
Because that's all there is on the way to the next system.
Well, this might work for a little while, but if these critters are anything like humans [which they very well might not be] there will probably end up being all kinds of corruption, waste, and ultimately conflict.
Corruption and conflict are tolerable for such a civilization. Waste is another; but I really wonder what kind of waste you're thinking of here. When you're in a closed system, it's not so easy to truly waste. You'd have to dump something out the airlock for it to be truly gone.
So, waste is just losing stuff and wrecking its organization. It can be found or remade, or both, again.
This process would probably then repeat until the asteroids run out of suitable resources. Then what?
They're doing this as they go to another system; so, if they can last the roughly 5k years it'd take to get there, they're going to have a lot of resources again. The scarcity conditions relax, planets are colonized, more ships made. Repeat until you've colonized the galaxy.
A civilization that lacks tools? You're really not grokking this concept of civilization. If you'd expect a civilization to have it (e.g. tools, a foundry, a 'drydock'), they have it.
Because it's too nearby? Mars, or even Pluto, is practically on our doorstep if you're capable of building an asteroid civilization.
Bring your resources with you. If you just head out on a ship, you have nothing except for what you can carry. Bring a bunch of asteroids and at least you have some resources.
Then they die I suppose, unless they made it to wherever they were going.
What would your colonists travelling by ship do if that happened? They'd have even fewer resources and less tools. A large civilisation traversing the void could have the capability to build new ships and platforms, provided they brought enough factories. And with resources available they can repair almost everything.
Because if there are other races out there, planets are the first place they will look. We're desperately searching for planets and dreaming of going there. Out somewhere in Deep Space, no one will find you and you'll be left alone.
EDIT: Darn it you overgrown bug. Beat me to it.

Corruption and conflict are tolerable for such a civilization.
No they're not. For example, let's say someone is unhappy with the resource system, they get some people to support them and then take over a ship. The other colonists wouldn't like this, and they'd attack the hijacked ship. Negotiations might fail. Then the two sides would butcher each other until one surrendered. The result: a demoralized and potentially unruly populace, lots of blown up junk, and possibly not enough left to go around. This would lead to more conflict.
A civilization that lacks tools?
My idea wasn't that they wouldn't bring tools, it was that these tools might be lost somehow and not easily replaced. The same applies to these "factories" you both say they would have. You know what a pain in the ass it would be to lug around a giant spaceship factory with you everywhere you go?
And if you are capable of building an asteroid civilization, aren't the asteroids practically on your doorstep too?
What would your colonists travelling by ship do if that happened? They'd have even fewer resources and less tools.
They'd all be dead. But the point is that you can pump out ships and cram them full of people more easily and with less cost than a giant fleet of asteroid-colonizers.
And with resources available they can repair almost everything.
Well, until they run out resources anyway.

Actually it's pointless to bring live citizens with the migration party. Way better would be to bring just some zygots in cryogenic stasis, or just genetic material (the ships being crewed by robots). Planets that can support live are seeded with some colonies, and planets/asteroids with lots of minerals are mined (new migration parties being fabricated from them). With something like this you'd cover a big chunk of the Galaxy pretty easy. (Which makes me wonder for a minute -- are we alone in the Galaxy?)1
And no need to build asteroids along, as resource consumption is going to be minimal (just a little fuel consumption, and some patching of micrometeorite holes).
1Other, more likely and more exciting possible reasons:
1. The race that inhabits our region of the galaxy has an ethical principle not to mess with primitive races.
2. It's not cost-effective to equip the robot colonizer fleets with weapons to obliterate lesser races from inhabited planets (and equipment to detect those sentient races, and detect their technology level as well -- you don't want to risk a war with an advanced race).
3. My idea sucks.

I think your still thinking on the wrong scale here. This is a civilisation, not just a few hopscotch ships. So what if one rebels? The other thousand or so will deal with them. Unless you're talking about a gigantic split down the middle, in which case the result is exactly the same as if you live in a solar system, the opposing parties wipe each other out.
You don't lug it with you any more than the rest of the fleet. You launch together and all go in the same direction. It's not like the factory will have to taker a detour along the way and get lost, they'd all be travelling with the same velocity. And what kind of loss is this anyhow? An entire civilisation (say, he population of Earth or maybe a bit less) have launched themselves into space along with all the infrastructure needed to support them and enough pieces of rock to replace any raw material losses they might have for the next 5000 years.. They aren't going to lose their only can opener on the way.
Not if you launch them out of the system into the void between the stars It's a very big place, and the odds are very much better that you won't meet anyone. Put it like this. If you live in a city, where do you meet the least people? A) in the city centre. B) in your car out in the suburbs or C) out in the wilderness where you drove your car?
If you ahev the technology to pump out loads of ships and colonists, I doubt it's going to be that more cost efficient to launch a small splinter civilisation with better chances of survival every 50 years than it's going to be to launch new colony ships every year and hope they don't break, run out of tools, die of infighting, meet hostiles etc.
At which point they'll hopefully be in the next system ,or have found some more rocks floating around somewhere.

Only if your main goal is to colonise new worlds and travel onwards. It'll work till you run into Ur-Quan's or somesuch, and after that they'll enslave you all. Out in the dark cold space some of you will survive.
I wonder how the first generation raised by robots and videos turns out? Still, I suppose if our A.I is good enough to handle the travel, colonisation and so forth, raising toddlers shouldn't bee too hard.
Quote from: Lukipela on March 06, 2008, 06:06:43 pm
Er, how can they enslave us all if they don't know where we are? They just meet a vanguard robot fleet, that's all. They have no idea where the fleet comes from (it might be a good idea to approach the star from another direction than the one you've been travelling along, so that they can't pinpoint your starting point).
I wonder how the first generation raised by robots and videos turns out?
Mmm... maybe if the robots are androids (I know, improper term for alien-like-looking robots, but I can think of no better word), or if the toddlers are born already mature (their species being like that naturally, or maybe they became so via genetic engineering)?
Good point ,as long as the robots don't know anything about their makers and don't carry any material that can be traced back. Such as instructional videos for the toddlers, history books and such. But I guess if every civilisation starts off fresh you'd be safe.
Also, as an aside while this is a very cost effective way to colonise planets, it doesn't really help the billions left behind as their sun is slowly dying and/or the black hole of doom approaches.
Also, it doesn't protect from invaders that use the same method to propagate their own species, only they have big guns and enslave everyone in their path. I suppose that big defense/retaliation/preventional-offense fleets could help, though... (and a war would go like this: A. Invader sends scouts to all nearby stars. B. One scout detects a spacefaring race -- and is detected, and destroyed by it, but not before broadcasting the discovery back to its builders. C. The defenders are bolstering up their defenses, while the invaders are on their way. D. The fights continue until one of the fighting parties runs out of resources, or abandons.) and your species would get more resources than in the dark, grim depths of interplanetary space.
Maybe they can just lower their population growth when the sun is nearing to death. So that the planet isn't anymore inhabited when the sun goes bye-bye (or rather, hi-hi).

I absolutely love the Pamper Me Box. I was so excited about the December box, the Midnight Youth Potion is fabulous. I've loved every product, the body oils, bath bombs, the room sprays....can't pick a favorite! Would love to have more bath bombs in the future boxes.
I can't say enough about these incredible soap sets! For a lovely gift or just to treat yourself, they are wonderful! Everyone in my home absolutely loves them and each person has their favorite scent! They are super sized and incredibly luxurious! I was so lucky to have first received these as a gift and quickly became a fan... they have great customer service, too!
I received the 'floral' set of these soaps as a gift and fell in love with them! Ordered these, and they are just as lovely! Even the guys in my home really enjoy them! Super long lasting and great scents!
I received this gift set last year for Christmas and absolutely enjoyed! They are so luxurious, creamy & moisturizing! Extremely long lasting, too! I loved these soaps so much that I ordered 1 each of the 3 different boxes to spoil myself! Great customer service, too! Am so happy to have found these, you will be, too!
This stuff is amazing! I've never had a face wash that applied and washed off like this one does. It is light and airy, like whip, and cleans without drying out. I paired with the detox cream and my face feels so clean and soft once fully dried. I am seriously obsessed with all of the products I've tried. It's a good thing I don't live close, I'd be in the store often!
Oh my goodness!! I got this in my FabFitFun box last year.
You use it AT THE VERY END of your shower. When you rinse off, your body feels like you just got through standing under a cascade of silk instead of water. Drying yourself off becomes a forbidden part of yout routine. Your skin is as soft as a baby's bottom!!
People have been complimenting me over the past few months, saying I'm glowing. Well I can assure you it's not from pregnancy! The rush of hormones have me shaky, swollen, fatigued, itchy, and irritable! That definitely doesn't lend to a glow. I was introduced to @marianellasoap Royal Kalahari face serum in early September, which comes with an aloe + tea tree detox primer (I'm obsessed with the smell). Around the same time I had a mini acupuncture facelift treatment at @16th_st_acupuncture and also received a gua sha stone. Twice daily for nearly two months I've been applying the serum with my stone and I can honestly say my skin has never looked better. Wish this was a sponsored ad (free product!) but it's not. Just an authentic review of incredible treatments.
non greasy and smells great!
I love oils, but sometimes they are so greasy that you feel like your oily all day long. Not this! This goes right into your skin and leaves you nice and silky soft. I love the pump feature so that you aren't pouring and over using. I also love the scent! I've received this in my subscription box and have been using it specifically on my hands every day, twice a day for a week. My hands, which are normally dry are so soft and healthy looking. I will definitely buy more once I am out.
I have a little bit of sensitive skin and masks normally make my face too dry and red afterwards. I am in love with this! It dried quickly and came off easily. The first time I used it I rinsed with a wash cloth, the second time I just used warm water to splash on my face and massage the mask off. The directions indicated a time, but also said to remove once product dried. I felt like mine dried quicker than the time limit. My face afterwards was so soft (not dry at all) I felt as if I didn't even need to put lotion on (I always put lotion or a night cream on afterwards depending on when I do a mask). I have oily skin in the summer months and more dry skin in the winter... and living in the midwest its getting dry and cold here. I can't wait to try this in the summer too. I would recommend this product!
I got this in my FabFitFun box and put it off to the side as I had a few other scrubs to use first. Okay, don't ever do that. This stuff is BY FAR the best scrub I've ever used! Firstly, it's amazing and leaves my skin feeling so soft and smooth and I know that if I use this on a weekly basis I'll have the softest, smoothest skin of my life thus far (and I'm only 36). Secondly, the oils don't make the bathtub a slippery deathtrap which the last local stuff I got did and thank goodness I didn't crack my skull getting out of the tub before I could clean it. So, in conclusion, I need this...all of the time I need this and you do, too!
This body scrub actually does moisturize your skin. It also smells amazing! The quality of this product is in a league of its own. I got this in my Summer 2018 FabFitFun box. Out of all the @fabfitfun products I have tried this year, this one blew me away. I also found out from Marianella Soap customer service that tis product does not have an expiration date so feel free to use it as slowly as you like.
After getting this product from FabFitFun, I went from Phoenix to Brooklyn just to smell their store! Their products are amazing and worth every penny.
This helped my eczema!!! I have been looking for something for 15 years and nothing has worked. I am so excited that I found this product!
I, like many others, received this in the FabFitFun box this summer. I have sensitive skin so I am always a bit scared to try new products. This one blew me away! The exfoliation is very mild and it instantly moisturizes the skin and leaves it feeling very hydrated. It has a nice light aroma. It is a bit messy, but definitely worth it. It will definitely something I would buy again!
I got this product in my FabFitFun box and at first I was not excited because I have never really been into body scrubs. This stuff is awesome! I am in my mid 30s and have decent skin but not perfect, we all age. I put this scrub on at the end of my shower then rinse it off after about a minute and my skin feels like velvet all day long - it is better than any lotion and I have used tons of lotions. Please give this product a chance if you haven't tried it!!!!
After I got my FabFitFun box I knew there was something so special about your products. I know you guys put so many years of hard work as a small business. Thank you for doing what you do. Your products make me and so many others feel special.
I am absolutely in love with the Hawaiian Black Lava Body Caviar with Charcoal! The smell is so intoxicatingly beautiful that I can't get enough of it! I can't wait to try other products from the store.
I have eczema so have basically tried every body scrub that exists. This is by far the best and the smell is just wonderful. I got this as part of my FabFitFun box and I will definitely be buying more.
The Royal Kalahari Face Serum is the best face serum I have ever used. It dries quickly, evens your skin tone, evens your skins texture, and lasts all day without ever feeling oily. The serum works really well with tinted moisturizers and mineral makeup too. The redness in my cheeks has calmed down quite a bit, and I feel like I might be able to go makeup free soon! I can't wait to try the rest of their products. So glad to have stumbled into this gem while walking my dog in the neighborhood.
My face cleared up and it has a beautiful glow.
I visited for the first time last summer and I have never stopped coming. They have the best facial creams, and the most intricately designed soaps. The staff was so friendly and I truly loved the treatment I was given. They do classes on Saturdays and I recieved a facial and my felt absolutely amazing after. My face cleared up and it has a beautiful glow.
Walked by this place, stopped myself, and backtracked to find a hidden gem in Brooklyn. The employ that met us at the door was so sweet and showed us around, explaining each room and the products inside. I bought the 'Sweet' essential oil that smelled of rose with other floral hints. I definitely recommend stopping in and checking out the organic products then have. It's pretty cool!
The most amazing skin product ever.
I live in the neighborhood and passed by several times. Finally went in and was warmly greeted and given a tour of the store and a few samples. This is the real deal. They make all their products from scratch using the highest quality herbal remedies with a deep understanding and knowledge. I've been using the Face Serum and it is the most amazing skin product ever. Only takes a micro drop to leave a velvet feel. This place is awesome and I wish I'd visited earlier.
Such great quality products! I work in a very high end dayspa as a massage therapist and we do not have any products that compare to this brand. Everything they make smells so wonderful and has the best ingredients. They have great customer service and the owner is such a sweet lady! I will definitely be placing another order next month. My skin has never felt so young.
No seriously. This is the best scrub you will ever put on your body. The scent is amazing. The combination of charcoal and the scrub is amazing. My dry skin comes out fresh, soft, moisturized, and the smell! Plus, a little goes a long way so you really get your moneys worth.
I just started using this body cream. I love how smooth my skin feels even hours after using it. I also love how mellow the scent is. It's not over barring like most body creams.
I received this in my FFF box. Fell in love with it. Exfoliates, moisturizes, and provides aroma therapy all in the same jar. My husband loves this amazing scent on my skin. Ordered the oil to go with exfoliant. No animal testing and made in the USA!
I love the body wash. I feel so clean afterwards. I don't even need a lot of it to lather up. It's just perfect.
I love the primer. It's new. But I love how its like a gel and not creamy. So it last longer. Don't let the size of the jar fool you. It will last you a long time.
I love this face wash. My face looks and feels so much cleaner and better after I use it. I like how it feels like it whipped. Not like a cream at all. Lasts a long time to.
I love this product. I received a sample in my FabFitFun box and have ordered more since. I also fell in love with other products in this shop. But the body caviar is my favorite. It just leaves your skin feel like new and smooth.
I have the worst dry scaley elbows. Decided to give it a try tonight. My elbows feel incredible. I realize I need to do this a few times for them to be completely renewed, but this is the only thing I've used so far that has given me smooth and hydrated skin. Definitely recommend this product, can't wait to use it on my whole body!
I received this in my FFF box. This product is awesome it made my skin feel so soft and hydrated. I did not need to put loition on after using it and the softness lasted all day. Wish the price was a little lower I am a teacher so in order to buy again will have to budget for it. I defiantly would recommend to my friends .

Nanoscale metallic foams display mechanical properties which make them attractive for a variety of technological applications. We report simulated nanoindentation tests for a model polycrystalline nanoporous gold structure with 11 nm mean filament diameter and 35 nm average grain size, comparable to foams produced by dealloying. Hardness, plasticity mechanisms, the extension of the plastic zone and the applicability of several scaling laws are discussed. Plasticity occurs at the nodes mainly and is dominated by nucleation of dislocations at the atomic steps of the ligament surfaces, in a dislocation accumulation scenario. Shockley partials, perfect dislocations, Hirth partials, Lomer-Cottrel locks and twins were identified. Grain boundary sliding appears to play a minor role in deformation at the indentation rates used. Several scaling laws are tested and their results and applicability are discussed based on the structural parameters of the foam and the deformation mechanisms identified. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.

I love riding my bike through the tangerine groves and taking a break to pick a fresh piece of delicious fruit. There are thousands of them and I wonder if they will all be picked before they fall to the ground. All of the markets are filled with farmers selling boxes of bright orange tangerines for only 5,000 won! Tourists have them sent back home and locals send then to their friends and families overseas. Parents send boxes to the dorms for the floors to enjoy...some of my girls will eat several at a time!
So for cooking class this weekend, I decided to incorporate these locally grown treasures. I am trying to introduce the students to healthy cooking including whole grain and vegan ingredients. So I decided to make tangerine marmalade and whole wheat tangerine chocolate chip scones. We used Halloween shaped cookie cutter which turned out really funny since the scones rose so much. But it made it fun and They were delicious!
Step 1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or dust with almond flour.
Step 2) In large bowl combine flour, flax seed or chia seed meal, salt, and baking soda and powder. Mix well. Cut in the cold coconut oil or vegan butter with pastry blender (2 knives or scissors will also work).
Step 3) Mix in the chocolate chips.
Step 4) In a separate bowl, mix juice, vanilla, agave and tangerine zest.
Step 5) Stir the wet mixture into the the flour/chocolate chip mixture very gently until just mixed. Careful not to over mix!
Step 4) Gently pat out dough onto parchment paper or a floured surface until it is about 2 cm thick all around. Cut on the diagonal into 12 triangles. Or cut out whatever shapes you want with a cookie cutters. (We did Halloween shapes!) You can also use a cup to make circles. Keep in mind that the scones will rise so the finished product probably won't look like the shape you cut out. But cookie cutter are just so much fun!!!
Step 5) Bake for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
When they are golden brown on top, remove them from the oven and brush with coconut oil. Serve with tea and tangerine marmalade.
Step 1: Sprinkle the agar agar over the water/juice in a medium saucepan, and let it sit for a couple of minutes.
Step 2: While it sits, zest one or two tangerines and peel the rest. Cut the fruit in half and remove any seeds. Either finely chop the tangerines or pulse in a food processor into the consistency that you want. My first cooking class made it into a fine puree and my second made it very chunky. The kids preferred the puree, but I liked the chunky.
Step 3: Bring the water/juice to a boil, then stir the agar agar and add the chopped fruit, zest, agave, and lemon juice and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until fruit is soft and mixture has thickened and cooked down slightly. If it is not thickening, you can add a little more agar agar. If it tastes too tart you can add more agave or honey.
Step 4: Transfer into small open jars and let it chill in the refrigerator until firm. Once it has cooled, you can screw on the lids.
1. Heat 1 can of coconut milk and 1/4 cup agave syrup on medium heat until the mixture gives off steam but before it reaches the boiling point.
2. Add the cup of mint leaves/stems, cover, and turn heat to low.
3. After 10 minutes, turn off the heat, and let it sit for at least 45 minutes. (I let mine sit for several hours until it cooled so that it was very minty and ready for the processor. If you don't have much time, just let it cool in the fridge.) When it is cooled strain out the mint leaves and stems.
Crush 2 packages (probably about 20 graham crackers) of vegan graham crackers. I do this by sticking them in a strong bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
Once they are finely crushed, mix with 1/2 cup of melted coconut oil or vegan spread. Mix the oil with the crumbs until it is evenly incorporated. Then press into your pan (two round cake pans or one big one like I used in the picture) so that the crumbs become a firm crust. Evenly spread along the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
Scoop the ice cream over the crust and sprinkle with raw cacao nibs. Serve right away otherwise it will melt!
This was literally eaten in a few minutes!!! I couldn't believe how much my family enjoyed it!
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease and flour two 8" round cake pans.
2. Sift the three flours together. Add cocoa, xanthan gum, salt, baking powder, and baking soda to the flours and whisk together in a med. bowl.
3. Beat the coconut oil, brown sugar, and the granulated sugar and whip until fluffy.
4. Add the flax eggs and the vanilla to the wet mixture. Turn the mixer to low and alternately add the flour mixture and the milk/lemon juice mixture.
5.Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the cake is springy to the touch.
6. Once the cakes have cooled completely, put a thin layer of chocolate frosting onto the bottom cake. Then spread on a layer of cherry jam. Place the second cake on top and cover the entire thing in chocolate frosting. I decorated the top of the cake with maraschino cherries.

While both men and women need to have their eyes wide open when it comes to their money, it's likely the woman will eventually be living on her own. According to a recent Gender Gap in Financial Literacy study, "the reality is that 90% of women will be solely responsible for their finances at some point in their lives due to the death of a spouse or divorce."
Women need to have a basic understanding of how much they have, how it is allocated — property, stocks, bonds and other assets – and whether they will have enough to live a comfortable retirement.
Lisa Brown of Brightworth and Melody Richardson of Richardson, Bloom & Lines will share insights and strategies to learn more about your finances and be prepared to assume responsibility. Bring your questions, and be ready to learn, share, and network.
We're looking forward to seeing you there.

Boris Johnson has been cleared of breaking the Conservative Party's code of conduct over his comments about veiled Muslim women.
An independent panel investigated the former foreign secretary's comments after he used a newspaper column to suggest females wearing the burka looked like letter boxes or bank robbers.
His comments triggered a furious response from senior Tories, with demands for an apology from party chairman Brandon Lewis.
The panel is understood to have found he was "respectful and tolerant" and was fully entitled to use "satire" to make his point in his Daily Telegraph column in August.
An ally of the former foreign secretary suggested Mr Lewis should "do the honourable thing" and apologise to Mr Johnson.
In the article, Mr Johnson said he felt "fully entitled" to expect women to remove face coverings when talking to him at his MP's surgery.
He said schools and universities should be able to take the same approach if a student "turns up ... looking like a bank robber".
Mr Johnson said the burka was "oppressive" and it was "absolutely ridiculous that people should choose to go around looking like letter boxes".
The investigation into whether he broke party rules was triggered automatically after the receipt of a number of complaints over the column.
The Daily Telegraph reported the independent panel, chaired by Naomi Ellenbogen QC, found while his use of language in the column could be considered "provocative", it would be "unwise to censor excessively the language of party representatives or the use of satire to emphasise a viewpoint, particularly a viewpoint that is not subject to criticism".
It said Tory party rules do not "override an individual's right to freedom of expression".
A friend of Mr Johnson's said: "It is welcome news that Boris has rightly been cleared of any breach of the code.
"The panel's ruling completely supported what Boris said from the very beginning - his article did foster respect and tolerance for the wearing of the burka.
"Perhaps Mr Lewis will now do the honourable thing and apologise to Boris with the same zeal he shamelessly used to smear his name during the summer."

"Lead from the back -- and let others believe they are in front."

The Vittoria was born in 1938 at the hands of Giuseppe Rampazzo. Umberto's son accepted the gift of his father, managing the place with heart and soul, transforming it from a small bar to a small pizzeria. He, between appetizers, cicchetti, shadows and rumors began to build up a customer who were entertained for entire afternoons.
Those who knew, remembers him with great affection, and tells him as a person full of passion for his craft, from the performances in Piazza San Marco, the school of great hotels, up to the passion that accompanied him throughout his short life: football, so as to drive him to the creation of an amateur team, which gave the name of the restaurant "the Vittoria".
The premature loss, the witness for the management passed to his wife Maria and daughter just turned eighteen, Giuliana. Grandma Maria has always been dedicated to work, after the loss of his grandfather Umberto, has rolled up their sleeves and it is thanks to her if Vittoria is now a local traditional Venetian family for over 70 years.
Vittoria today is managed by the mother (Guliana) and me (Elisabetta).
She and I have tried to follow the path taken by our ancestors and never stopped, that Giuseppe's great-grandfather, grandfather and grandmother Umberto Maria have created and cultivated with difficulty. Today, the Vittoria sees people from all over the world expressing their joy at every return, saying he was satisfied with the environment and speciality.
With pride, currently represent the 3rd and 4th generation can.
With Mom, we look for solutions aimed at making the room "warm" and ensure that it remains satisfied customers: from quality ingredients for our dishes, our pizza dough, through the preparation of foods and condiments that is visible and moment, the latter reason for asking you to wait if the place is full, further proof that we are not a fast food restaurant.

Moscow's Famed Gorky Park Gets Makeover
By James Brooke
Moscow's Gorky Park, Once Dreary, Goes for Volleyball
MOSCOW — During the Cold War, the movie thriller "Gorky Park" gave the real park a scary reputation. Then, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the park suffered from two decades of decay.
Fast forward to today, and the largest downtown park in Europe's largest city has a totally new look.
Irina Datsiuk now comes to the park to play beach volley ball, in the heart of Moscow. Dressed in a bright bikini, Irina talks to VOA, "I really like that you can play sports and then go relax, and visit the little shops. They made everything so comfortable."
The new Gorky Park offers yoga lessons, tango lessons, salsa lessons, an open air movie theater, and space to play African drums outdoors by the Moscow River.
Stefano moved from Italy to here in June to work as a pizza chef. Unable to speak Russian, he says in Italian that Moscow is a beautiful city and the customers are happy to find his pizzas are made with Italian ingredients.
During the next five years, Moscow is spending $100 million a year to rebuild its parks. The goal is to inject some green into the gray cityscape, and to take the rough edges off a city often called "kameni gorod" or stone city.
Russia / Gorky Park art
Assistants put the finishing touches on artwork project in Russia's Gorky Park, June 26, 2012.
Gorky Park director Olga Zakharova says before the total remake started 18 months ago, only 2,000 people a day ventured into the 120-hectare park. She says, "This year, we have from 40,000 people on weekdays, and from 100,000 on the weekends."
"Gorky Park has a huge amount of programs," she answers when asked if there are now traffic jams near the park seven days a week. "We do not miss any holidays. For us, Gorky Park is a place where we spend a great deal of time. And we want to make it so that everyone comes here and feels happy. Like every day is a holiday."
Opening in a few months is a modern art center, designed by Rem Koolhaas, the Dutch architect. Guaranteed to provide more buzz, and more visitors, the project is bankrolled by Roman Abramovich, a Russian billionaire.
And all this may good politics too. Young people who are outdoors, having fun, may have less interest in political protest.

« Is the American Dream a Myth?


Thanks MKdesign that was a pen and ink from a few years ago. Is this group only going to be about EU related art or can it be anything? I just noticed 5 of 8 pictures showing and was curious.
Dunno if i qualify, but what the hell i'm in!
Have no pictures of any actual arts, but some older works (~ 6-7 years old when i was 11-12) can be seen in my appartement - Chikara Juujou 16 G - uploaded them around 1 1/2 years ago out of a nostalgic attack.
I'm a musician in real-life, playing in my band The Resplendents and doing some media/production work.
Always cool to see other artists work!!!
Graphic artist by day and all art types off work-time . . . I will be uploading a portfolio of my work this weekend and hope you all take a look!
I mainly do digital art, Photoshop - Illustrator - Poser - etc..
so what photoshop do you have then?
I use the cs2 suite (Need to upgrade to cs3, but no rl peds at the moment). There are some other nice freeware progs out there: terragen and genviewer. U can use them to render some textures / landscapes and then use photoshop to brush it up. I like terragen a lot, you should check it out.
Hey hey, just joined. Digital artist here, my tools of the trade are Inkscape, The GIMP, SmoothDraw NX, CreaToon, a Genius MousePen 5x4 and a Palm Zire 31. There are some small examples of what I do on my avatar and signature (Both made by me), might upload some other stuff to the gallery later.
I have a blog at http://www.jeffthomannsart.blogspot.com but don't post to it much. I don't draw or paint as much as I should since my spouse works late and we carpool... I do carry around a little bag that has some colored pencils, sketchbook, digital camera, and digital voice recorder in it, but don't use that thing as much as I used to now that we joined a gym... work out after work instead.

[ARCHIVED] San Marcos Police Department Joins Active Bystandership for Law Enforcement Project
Beginning the week of October 4, 2021, the San Marcos Police Department will train all sworn officers in the Active Bystandership for Law Enforcement (ABLE) Project. The evidence-based national training and support initiative developed by the Georgetown University Law Center aims to empower and educate officers, ultimately preventing misconduct, reducing mistakes, promoting officers' health and wellness, and improving community relations.
The San Marcos Police Department was accepted into the project following a thorough application process that affirmed the department's commitment to excellence. As part of the application process, SMPD submitted letters of support for the project written by Chief Stan Standridge, City leadership, and community groups.
"ABLE is a truly valuable resource for the department and the citizens of San Marcos alike," said Chief Standridge. "We look forward to sharing the program with our officers and demonstrating our commitment to continuous improvement in service to our community."
Each sworn officer within SMPD will undergo eight hours of training designed to reinforce active bystandership, which authorizes and empowers law enforcement personnel to intervene in another officer's action, teaches successful intervention strategies, and protects individuals following intervention. The program will be led by SMPD's certified ABLE trainers, including Chief Standridge and Officers John Dehkordi, GeCorrie Royal and Crystal Benavides.
Training in the ABLE Project reinforces SMPD employees' moral, ethical, and legal duty to intervene to prevent another employee from engaging in conduct that would unnecessarily harm others or violate law or policy, which applies regardless of rank. Intervention is required where the bystander employee is witness to and has a reasonable opportunity to prevent or mitigate harm caused by policy or legal violations, or mistakes. Employees are also encouraged to intervene to assist colleagues in addressing health and wellness concerns.
Officers' completion of ABLE training aims to improve relationships between law enforcement personnel and community members, build trust, and foster cooperation. The San Marcos Police Department joins more than 150 national law enforcement agencies in committing to transformational reform through the ABLE Project.
For more information about the project, visit the Active Bystandership for Law Enforcement website. For media inquiries, contact communicationsinfo@sanmarcostx.gov.


What are Pop Ups like today?
Today there are companies specialized in Pop Up spaces and events like Openhouse in New York, or Storefront in San Francisco. They advertise "Pop-up ready spaces" and even provide marketing and event planning to ensure a smooth Pop Up experience. Real estate brokerage companies are starting to add Pop Ups as a type of property available for clients. All of this is evidence that Pop Ups are not only a trend, but a successful enterprise with a real market.
Why should Yerevan have a Pop Up?
So, what sets Pop Ups apart from traditional methods of viewing art?
1. Objectivity of the viewer. The viewer is confronted with art in an unexpected space. It's like accidentally coming across great street art, as opposed to intentionally entering a museum for the purpose of viewing art. Those are two totally different mindsets, and they affect how we see art because of what we bring to the work.
2. Objectivity of the space. In his renowned article Inside the White Cube from 1976, art critic and historian Brian Odoherty argues that the type of galleries that came about in the 20th century were as important to modern art as the works themselves. He called them "chambers", or sterile, white, windowless rooms removed from time, that created an almost religious experience for the viewer. HAYP does not follow the "white cube" model, nor are we viewing art in its "original habitat" like a Madonna and Child commissioned for a Renaissance church altar.
3. Disruption. We are disrupting typical viewing contexts, and constantly changing them. I think that there's also something to be said about the under-construction environment common to the Pop Up. In "How Buildings Learn" an excellent six-part three-hour BBC series that aired in 1997, Stewart Brand states that "low road buildings keep being valuable precisely because they're disposable". In other words, what Brand calls "low road buildings", or cheap spaces, are actually more empowering structures to inhabit. Brand says that their malleability inspires change, it makes you active instead of passive, which inspires freedom, creativity and experimentation. The most creative enterprises happen in these types of spaces.
4. Experimentation. We hope to inspire experimental art, and also create an experimental space where ideas can be shared and new projects can be born. On a larger scale, we hope that HAYP will make the public see the potential of these spaces and how important art is to making us see and reinterpret our environment in order to envision a better future.
Some examples of Yerevan's many spaces that would make an ideal setting for a HAYP Pop Up. The city is our gallery!
With this in mind, how context affects the way we view and show art, we are excited to start the HAYP experiment! In the spirit of this theme, we will open our first Pop Up in December with the exhibition, "Frame of Mind: Context and Perspective" and we have launched an Indiegogo campaign to help cover the costs (click here to read more on our website!).
So, if you haven't already, please consider donating and if you're in Yerevan when the exhibition launches, we hope that you'll pop by and, as we like to say, "Check out the hype"!

Q: spring boot rest does not support xml out of the box Spring Boot with Web dependency pulls jackson library dependencies and supports the Json format out of the box. But when I try to fetch the data in the xml format by placing the Accept header to application/xml, I get 406. The issue is resolved by adding the jackson-dataformat-xml dependency.
My question are,

*

*Why does jackson-data-format-xml be added and why is this not supported out of the box.

*Isn't JAXB not part of standard JDK and take care of marshalling and unmarshalling out of the box instead on relying on other jar files?

A: *

*Spring is opinionated in many ways, and only supporting JSON out of the box is one example of that. Not all developers will want XML support and so it is left as an optional dependency.

*JAXB was pulled from the normal JDK distribution in Java 9 in order to help make the core JDK less bloated. Again, the idea is to let developers opt in to the technologies they need instead of giving them everything by default.
Here's a little history of JAXB and the various Java versions: https://www.jesperdj.com/2018/09/30/jaxb-on-java-9-10-11-and-beyond/

Health hazard evaluation report: HETA-82-284-1456, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Elizabeth Industrial Park Site, Elizabeth, New Jersey.
Costello R; Melius J
Cincinnati, OH: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service, Centers for Disease Control, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, HETA 82-284-1456, 1984 Apr; :1-44
Worker exposures to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), organic vapors, and heavy metals during proposed construction activities were examined at the Elizabeth Industrial Park Site (SIC-1623) in Elizabeth, New Jersey. The area was previously used as a PCB contaminated landfill. The survey was conducted between September, 13 and October 6, 1983. The evaluation was requested by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey on behalf of an unspecified number of construction workers. Personal and area air samples, along with wipe samples from work boots, were collected during excavation and piping of a test trench in the most contaminated part of the site. No PCBs were detected in any of the samples, using a detection limit of 0.05 micrograms per sample. Exposures to benzene (71432), toluene (108883), and xylene (1330207) were well below the appropriate OSHA standards, and no heavy metals were found in the air samples. More than 55 percent of the airborne dust particles were of respirable size, between 1 and 10 microns. The authors conclude that construction workers at this site would not be exposed to PCBs or other hazardous chemicals under conditions similar to those used in this test. They recommend the use of protective boots and gloves, and personal air sampling for PCBs and volatile organics for workers employed in relatively non ventilated areas. Respiratory protection is not necessary for workers employed in an open, well ventilated areas.

Elliott State Forest sale closes amid controversy
Zach Urness
The Oregon Department of State Lands has completed the controversial sale of three parcels of Elliott State Forest totaling 1,453 acres to Seneca Jones Timber and Scott Timber Co.
The Wednesday sale fetched $4.2 million despite the promise from environmental groups to file a lawsuit to halt logging over the alleged existence of federally protected marbled murrelets in the parcels.
The East Hakki Ridge parcel was purchased by Seneca Jones Timber for $1.89 million, while Adams Ridge 1 was purchased by Scott Timber for $1.87 million. Benson Ridge was purchased for $787,000.
In December 2013, the State Land Board approved selling about 2,700 acres within the Elliott. Managing the Common School Fund land within this forest —which in recent years generated annual net revenues in the $8 million to $11 million range — cost the fund about $3 million in fiscal year 2013.
Losses are projected to continue in fiscal year 2014 and beyond, due to reduced timber harvest levels as a result of litigation over threatened and endangered species protection.
"The Land Board realizes the Common School Fund cannot continue to have a net deficit from managing these Trust lands," DSL director Mary Abrams said in a press release. "This first effort to sell three small parcels was to gauge interest in these properties, as well as determine the market value of land within the forest."
The sale, which will benefit the Common School Fund, represents less than two percent of the 93,000-acre forest near Reedsport.
Even so, the sales have become a flashpoint in the lingering dispute between environmentalists and timber companies.
"These parcels, which once belonged to all Oregonians, should never have been sold in the first place," said Noah Greenwald, endangered species director at the Center for Biological Diversity in Portland, in a press release announcing the notice to initiate a lawsuit. "Now that they've been sold, we're not going to allow them to be clear-cut and contribute to the extinction of the unique marbled murrelet."


This is what a $25 plane ticket will buy you in the Philippines. This morning I had the opportunity to fly Cebu Pacific economy class. Cebu Pacific is another Filipino LCC similar to airphil express. Both airlines fly from Manila Ninoy International Airport terminal 3. I won't go into details about MNL terminal 3, as I have written about it in the past.
After receiving my boarding pass, what looked more like a receipt of payment, I headed over to security. The process was the same as last week, the security guard reviewed my boarding pass and then allowed me to enter the departure area where I had to pay my 200 pesos (~$5 usd) terminal fee and then pass through security.
This time when getting to security the line for males was twice as long as the female security line. However thankfully right when I walked up, the second security line opened and I was passing through security in a matter of minutes. Its very quick and efficient and NOTHING like the queues at US airports! In additional this time I was able to bring through multiple bottles of fluid that were more than 3oz (sun screen, deodorant, face moisture) without being bothered by security. The beauty of a domestic flight!
At about 5:15 ( 15 minutes after boarding should have begun) an announcement was made the plane was delayed due to additional servicing that was needed to the aircraft, but that we would start boarding within 10 minutes. Surprisingly at 5:30 we started boarding. The plane boarded quickly, and again no one checked my ID. The only ID check was done at initial check in. As I went to board the aircraft I realized our plane wasn't at gate 120. Remote Stand here we come!
As I walked down the jet bridge I found myself walking down a set of steps and onto the tarmac to board a bus. 100% handicap inaccessible. The bus finished boarding and we were racing down the tarmac away from the domestic section of terminal 3. A few minutes later we were at gate 106, within the international section of T3. Up the steps and I was boarding my first Cebu flight on an a320.
After boarding the cabin crew did this safety demo in English and then a prerecorded recording came on repeating it in Tagalog. Shortly after this we pushed back and we were off to Cebu without any traffic related delays.
Shortly after take I fell asleep. However the last thing I remember was the recording stating they would be dimming the cabin lights to provide better views of the cities, not safety like most airlines claim. This certainly made me smile!
I did not wake up for cabin service but Cebu Pacific is like most LCC in Asia and requires one to purchase any snack or drinks for $1-$5.
headed outside to catch a taxi.
upstairs towards check in and find the Taxi cue here. The white colored Taxis are MUCH cheaper!
White taxi is cheaper then yellow, traveler beware!
Seat: 8/10 for econ. LOADS of leg room (in the exit row) but missing the left arm rest against the window. Also the seat leaned back to far for comfort and did not have head rest flaps. Service: I slept through it Reliability: Cebu Pacific is the Philippines' largest airline. With only 37 aircraft it is surprising the largest!

DeLand killer on death row argues IQ too low for execution
JAY STAPLETON, Staff writer
Dec 21, 2011 at 12:01 AM Aug 15, 2012 at 1:36 PM
DELAND -- A man who has been on death row since 1987 for the murder of a 77-year-old DeLand woman was in court again Tuesday to argue he is mentally retarded and should not be executed under Florida law.
For the second time since 2005, lawyers for Roger Lee Cherry, 60, argued in court that their experts found Cherry's IQ below the legal standard of 70 required for execution.
Prosecutors, however, say the evidence shows Cherry does not have a low enough intelligence score to be spared.
"We think the court can reasonably conclude that Mr. Cherry is not mentally retarded and he is eligible to be executed," Assistant State Attorney Rosemary Calhoun said of Cherry's claim Tuesday.
Cherry was sentenced to death on two murder counts in 1987 for killing Esther Wayne and because her husband, Leonard, died during a burglary of the couple's DeLand home. Esther Wayne had been fatally beaten and kicked.
The Florida Supreme Court later vacated the death sentence for Leonard Wayne's death, finding he died of a heart attack during the home invasion burglary. Cherry was given a life sentence for that death instead.
But Cherry's death sentence was affirmed for the murder of Esther Wayne, when courts consistently found her death was heinous, atrocious and cruel.
Then in 2004, the Florida Supreme Court found criminals must have an IQ above 70 to be executed.
Since then, Cherry's lawyers have argued that Cherry has shown signs of mental retardation.
Prosecutors, however, say Cherry's IQ has been scored as high as 86 over the years.
The case has gone back and forth.
In 2005, a judge ruled Cherry's IQ was not low enough to spare him from death by lethal injection.
That ruling, by Circuit Judge Julianne Piggotte, was based in part on books found in Cherry's cell at Union Correctional Institution in Raiford. Piggotte also noted the fact that Cherry had previously driven a car.
Now, Cherry's lawyers say he scored a 65 on an IQ test last year. Prosecutors are questioning the validity of that score.
In court Tuesday, Circuit Judge Frank Marriott listened to testimony from doctors.
Marriott asked both sides to file closing arguments on the issue to him by Feb. 28.
