Fitness: Do the Olympics turn host cities into active cities?
Jill Barker examines whether hosting the Games has an impact on increased sports participation.
Jill Barker, Special to Montreal Gazette
Alexandre Bilodeau celebrates his gold-medal win in Vancouver in 2010. If increased participation is a goal of holding the Games, Jill Barker writes, it takes a concerted plan — not just talk — to leverage the energy, commitment and success showcased by elite athletes.

When it comes to the debate around hosting the Olympic Games, not all talk centres on the economics of holding the event. Potential host cities also engage in discussions surrounding the social impact of the Games, including the theory that watching athletes compete at the highest level motivates people to do the same.
But more than recruiting the next generation of Olympians and increasing the number of people playing organized sports, the pledge to turn Olympic-quality installations into recreational facilities once the Games are over is an example of a legacy geared toward creating more active and healthy communities.
London was one of the first cities to publicly pledge a boost in sports participation if the Olympic flame was raised on its soil. Sebastian Coe, politician, former British Olympian and leader of the pro-Olympic movement for the 2012 London Games, stated that "big British moments in sport have to have a conversion rate." He went on to suggest that "the real challenge for our governing bodies and for sport more broadly is: how many people can you get into the sport off the back of that great moment?"
Britain's secretary of state for culture, media and sport at the time, Ben Bradshaw, went even further, promising that one million more people in the U.K. would be playing sports by 2012.
Discourse around the 2010 Vancouver Games was similar. Promised legacies included more people participating in new sport programs, improved funding for provincial sport organizations, additional support for high-performance athletes striving to reach the national team level, better-quality youth summer camps in arts, sports and recreation, and improved sport and recreation programs for Aboriginal youth organizations.
Yet despite repeated assurances by politicians and Olympic bid supporters, post-Olympic analysis of the effects of hosting on local sports participation is surprisingly scarce, with only a handful of studies examining the various metrics related to hosting the Games.
The stats are tough to measure and compare between Games, due to a lack of consistency in reporting structures, but the consensus is that most cities see a small boost in physical activity and sports participation during the years leading up to the Games and for a short period thereafter, though there's a question as to whether more people are exercising or whether an already active population was inspired to become more active. And there's some data to suggest that one sport's gain is another sport's loss: an analysis of the 2000 Sydney Games reported increases in participation in seven Olympic sports, but a decline in nine others.
In Canada, at least, it would be hard to argue that sports such as women's hockey and curling haven't benefited from Olympic exposure. But it's just as easy to point out that ringette has seen numbers decrease, as girls across the country switched allegiances after watching the Canadian women's hockey team win four consecutive gold medals.
One of the lessons learned from Olympic hosting efforts is that if increased participation is a goal of holding high-profile sporting events, it takes a concerted plan — not just talk — to leverage the energy, commitment and success showcased by elite athletes.
Vancouver put forth a number of measures intended to promote grassroots participation, including the building of new sports facilities designed to be used long after the Games ended. The city benefited from new and refurbished skating, hockey and curling rinks, as well as new playgrounds built to accommodate children with disabilities. And the city of Richmond got a new fitness and recreation centre, a holdover from the speed-skating oval used during the 2010 Games.
Another important legacy of the Vancouver Games is the impact on sports for disabled athletes. Seventy-three schools and 27,500 students listened to inspirational talks by Paralympic athletes and tried out Paralympic equipment. And when polled, 32 to 40 per cent of Canadians felt the 2010 Games had increased their awareness and appreciation of amateur winter sports, their knowledge of sports for people with disabilities and their overall acceptance of people with disabilities.
Then, of course, there is the effect of the Olympics on the athletes of the host country. Canadian athletes won a national high of 26 medals at the Vancouver Games. Our Paralympic athletes also posted record-breaking results, earning 19 medals. It's largely accepted that the Own the Podium initiative, launched in 2005 in anticipation of the Vancouver Games, was the reason for our national success. Supported by corporate sponsors and sport partners, its efforts have become part of our national training program. It's another laudable legacy of the Vancouver Olympics.
So as valuable as it is to witness Canadian moments like Alexandre Bilodeau sharing his gold medal with his brother, and Jon Montgomery celebrating gold by walking through Whistler drinking beer from a pitcher, cities wishing to hold Olympic Games need to promote and deliver on the promise to make their citizens more active.

Ghyampe Danda turning into appealing tourist spot
Chandra Kumar Phuyal
Lying to the southeast of Bhaktapur, Ghyampe Danda is a potential tourist spot to be explored. The beautiful green hill that is just 14 kilometres away from the heart of Kathmandu is home to some of the famous temples and shrines such as Suryabinayak, Pathivara, Pilot Baba Ashram and Anantalingeswor. An open National Zoological Garden that is being developed and historical Ranikot Gadhi lie in the area.
Surrounded by lush green forests, Ghyampe Danda is located at a height of around 2,000 metres above sea level. One can have incredible view of the entire Kathmandu Valley and many snow-capped mountains. The recent declaration made by the Government of Nepal to make it a tourism spot has enhanced its popularity among prospective visitors.
One can start his/her journey after receiving blessings from the Gods in Suryabinayak and Anantalingeswor temples. If you choose the way from Suryabinayak temple, you can reach Ghyampe Danda through Pilot Baba Ashram and the Doleswor Mahadev temple that lies on the other side of the hill. One can travel by a vehicle along the blacktopped road that climbs up through a dense forest leads you to the destination smoothly. The forest that spreads the areas of 245.165 hectares is home to various faunal and floral species. The entire forest becomes mind-blowing when the colorful rhododendrons blossom blanketing the whole forest in April and May. The higher you go through the forest road, the deeper you lose yourself into the ecstasy on seeing the unique natural beauties, sereneness, calmness and chirping of birds. When you reach Pilot Baba Ashram, you will find yourself in a piece of heaven. There is a temple in a beautiful Shikhara-style atop the hill. The temple is dedicated to Som Nath Mahadev.
The story behind this temple is interesting. After giving up his materialistic life, Kapil Singh, who was a pilot in Indian Air Force, became a saint. He is now well-known as the Pilot Baba, a spiritual Guru. He had a close connection with Nepal as he had received grace from Gorakhnath and Hari Baba in the Narayani River near Devghat where he had lived for many years. There are many disciples in Nepal who have contributed to building the Som Nath Mahadev Temple atop this scenic and tranquil hill. Many people from all ages and walks of life visit the temple to pay their homage. Many residential students pursue religious and spiritual knowledge in this temple. This place has now been a popular meditation spot for some whereas many come here for observing the eternal astonishing scenes, excursion, getting together and having a picnic. You will get to Ghyampe Danda after about half an hour's uphill ride.
With the creation of physical infrastructures and other facilities such as blacked road, drinking water, electricity, schools, health post, hotels and resorts and police station, this place has now grown as one of the tourist attractions in the Kathmandu Valley.
Gyampe Danda is named after a Ghyampo, a big soil-pot in which water used to be reserved collectively and shared it when in urgent need. When there was an extreme scarcity of drinking water, people around this locality installed a Ghyampo. This is the point from where a spectacular view of many high mountains can be observed.
Half an hour further uphill ride takes you to another historical spot called Ranikot which is now extremely popular for the fossil or debris of a Lichhavi-era palace and its historical importance. It is believed that during the Lichhavi era, there used to be a beautiful palace where a beautiful queen of a Lichhavi king used to reside. Among the many wives of the king, the youngest one was the most loved and beautiful whom he hid in this palace fearing she would be eyed by his enemies. The king used to visit her frequently where there around 250 long stone-steps leading to the palace. The Lichhavi coins found around is a proof referring to that era. There are also many fossils of sub-palaces. Later, the then king Prithvi Narayan Shah used the palace as a fort while entering the Kathmandu Valley.
"There are many mysteries behind this place. Further excavations and purposeful observations and archeological studies are required to answer many questions and curiosities about this place", said Prof. Dr. Purushottam Lochan Shrestha, a renowned local historian.
Ranikot is now gaining more popularity day by day for its historical, cultural and natural significance. The temperature of this place is cool in summer and cold as snow falls sometime in winter. People come here mostly for observing, relaxing and having picnic, especially during holidays. A fair is observed during Bala Chaturdashi in which a large number of people come from around.
There is a temple dedicated to Bagh Bhairav. The temple lies some 200 metres to the west of Ranikot which is named after the natural stone that is found here in the shape of a tiger and it has its own interesting mythology.
Almost half a dozen restaurants, hotels and resorts have been established in this area and the number is still growing owing to the gradual increase in the number of people visiting Ranikot. This area links Bhaktapur to Kavrepalanchowk. Settlements of Tamang and Newar communities are there.
"We will soon equip this place with the amenities of the smooth, drinking water, electricity along with other modern facilities of paragliding, zip ride, jungle safari, cycling and hiking routes. We are dedicated to developing this area as one of the best tourism spots in the Kathmandu Valley," said Mahesh Basnet, a lawmaker and former minister.

Lukaijah Delivers Conscious Hip Hop With Empowering Debut
'Rise' Is Available Now
Two passions make up Lukaijah's life; empowering people through his speakings and music. Both of which he put together when it came time to release his debut conscious hip hop album, Rise.
Rise serves a baker's dozen of tracks that allow Lukaijah to freely flow his wisdom from his heart to yours from the second "Rise Up" starts through the thought evoking ways of "Imperfectly Perfect" and "Unconditional" right through the very last second of "Victory." Whether he's laying down resonate lines or dropping knowledge complemented by hard-hitting production, Lukaijah's insight and attention to detail are immediately apparent as soon as play is pressed. Where most artists shy away from speaking their truth in favor of clout chasing and padding their pockets, Lukaijah stays true to self, attacking every track with passion reserved for only the most refined MCs.
Lukaijah's experience with esoteric knowledge, bay area culture and underground hip hop all influenced his development as an artist. As Lukaijah faced various challenges in his early life, he was catapulted on a path of healing and self empowerment. After traveling the world studying with various masters in 30 countries, he became an adept healing facilitator. He developed a method of cognitive mind reprogramming and began teaching other healing facilitators and working with a growing community of students in Japan. However, after the Fukushima earthquake of 2011, Lukaijah realized he was not fully living in alignment with his true purpose and joy of music.
Now he's focused on bringing about change in the lives of others through music, empowerment teaching, and keynote speaking in places such as schools, universities, festivals and gatherings where seeking out truth and optimism is the key. Those interested in having Lukaijah perform at an event, adding his music to their playlists, reviewing Rise, or interviewing him can reach out via the information provided below.
For more on Lukaijah, head here: http://www.lukaijah.com/music
Lukaijah is an artist and empowerment speaker with a direct sound that is as invigorating as it is full of narrative. With every lyric spoken listeners begin to unravel his messages in a way that's both tangible and poetic. His words are a blend of mystical and material with an intent that cuts through like a knife and yet melts the heart open to a message of sovereignty, connection, and freedom on his debut release, Rise.

The last two days have felt so busy and rushed! I don't feel like I've gotten much accomplished, but I also don't feel like I've had much time to relax!
Sunday I worked, then I came home and we ran to Target and somehow spent $100 in one fell swoop. Then we grabbed Subway for dinner. I ran 2 quick miles (streak day 12!) before I ate and then we did some filing. I am a bit of a clutter bug, I don't keep everything so I'm not a pack rat, but I have no system of order in place so we're trying to create some order. Then we ate and watched Priest while we wrapped presents. All the presents we have here are wrapped, there are about 10 more we are waiting to get in the mail. Most of hubs gifts haven't arrived yet and only one of the ones he got me are here (compression capris from Road Runner Sports!!).
Today I got up and did a 1.7 mile warm up run (streak day 13) before doing another bodyrock.tv workout (I might be a bit addicted!). I did the Pin Up Legs Workout and while it was only 12 minutes long it was KILLER!! I am thinking I will feel that in the morning. Then I headed to work. After work I rushed to the big girl's dance class and then to the market. We made breakfast for dinner and then went to our 4-H meeting, which seemed to last forever! Then we came home and got everyone ready for bed, but no one seems to want to go to sleep!!
I don't think things are going to slow down any time soon, so if I disappear I'm not dead, just super busy!!
Question of the day - How much Christmas shopping do you have left to do?
ahhh! i still have about half of my shopping left to do. and i can totally relate to you with the target spending...i somehow ALWAYS spend more than i am expecting there :) also totally understand that it is a busy time of the year...for me too!
Bodyrock workouts ar so intense!! I have been busy lately too and am just trying to catch up on blogs now! I finished my Christmas shopping so all I have to do now is wrap everything!! Good luck getting it all done!
Oh, and done with my shopping! We're trying really hard to simplify, and every year is getting a bit better...it's a long, slow process toward change.
I find it near impossible to get out of Target without dropping $100 at the register :) And I'm running around crazy too, I'm so with you - I've finished all of my shopping, but we leave tomorrow for 3 weeks and we've got so much to do before then!
Thank you all for stopping by, I love having visitors! I'll be posting again tonight I promise, probably 2 posts - my regular and the 21 facts because Kim from (Just) Trying is for Little Girls tagged me in hers (which means you should be on the lookout for a tag for you in mine!!
Ugh I ALWAYS 'accidentally' spend $100 at Target....no matter what I go into that store for, it always ends up adding up way too quickly!
I have SO MUCH SHOPPING LEFT! Arg. Oh and I don't think it is possible to enter and exit Target without spending $100. I hate it when you walk out broke and with only two sacks.
So hard to leave Target without dropping $100. Especially around the holidays!
I have yet to start my holiday shopping...eek!

Fanfare Ciocarlia's Brass beat - on "Martha: A picture Story" documentary
Piranha in the movies, once again! Straight out of their very first album "Radio Paşcani", that we are proud to have released, Fanfare Ciocarlia's "Ah Ya Bibi" is placed in the soundtrack of the documentary " Marta: A picture story". The movie follows the story of Martha Cooper the photojournalist that documented the New York City graffiti scene of the '70s and 80's, a woman that showcased the vibrant, expressive street life of a city now completely transformed by the real estate greed.
Fanfare Ciocarlia introduced to the world the music traditions of their home village Zece Prajini, Romania, handed down and survived through generations, even when its gypsy origins were anything but safe during the Causescu regime. Fast and endearing their brass sound and their horns have made them into one of the most unique ensembles of their kind. From Romania to Berlin and to the world, now once again Fanfare Ciocarlia's music finds its place in the film world.

The Internet's Development: Web Evolution From 1.0 to 3.0
Over the past few years, the opinion has been increasingly expressed that the current model of the internet is outdated from a moral perspective and requires revision: corporations collect detailed user data, knowing more about us than our closest relatives, and they censor self-expression.
Opinion leaders and industry leaders offer their ideas on the formation of Web 3.0 and talk about how to make the network better and safer.
By the way, some IT enthusiasts have already created a Web 3.0 project, Utopia P2P, which is functioning perfectly now. You can find out more here.
In this article, we will look at the web evolution from 1.0 to 3.0, and analyze what is predicted for us soon.
Web Evolution From 1.0 to 3.0
First, it is important to note that the so-called versions of the internet were formed gradually over time. There was no clear historical transition from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0.
Secondly, as the network was developing and new functions were starting to appear on websites, the internet came to new concepts and users noticed that they were already using a completely different infrastructure. At this stage, they described the ideas of the new era, as well as summed up the results of the past.
Third, the concepts themselves are conventions initiated by influential people. As history shows, they most often arose after comparing services and sites for their use of technologies.
What will the future web look like? Read our predictions here.
Web 1.0: main features
The very definition of Web 1.0 came into use, oddly enough, after the appearance of Web 2.0. The comparison showed that the internet had become completely different, and it was possible to highlight the features and differences from the previous "version."
The entire period of the first network lasted from 1991 to 2004. Web 1.0 can be described in one phrase — Read-Only. This also explains the basic concepts: users were only able to view pages and interact with content.
The possibilities of user participation in creating content had not yet been developed on the internet; they only consumed what appeared on web resources — no authorizations, trackers, and registrations.
Site data was stored on servers in file systems and were often issued in the form they were already in. This feature forced webmasters, when adding new pages, to re-layout those that already existed for the sake of adding links.
Tables were used to align the content, and there was no adaptability on the sites, which often recommended the resolution at which the information would display correctly. Also, not every site was supported by all browsers, so webmasters placed badges with logos of those web browsers that worked correctly with their resources.
The design of the sites was also very far from the current diversity and interactivity. Many sites neglected HTML markup and gave users "raw" text. The pages were dominated by bright colors and simulated textures that mimicked wood, stone, or metal. For dynamism, GIF animations were placed on the sites, which somehow enlivened the content.
At the end of the Web 1.0 era, forums and chat rooms began to appear, which allowed users to participate in the formation of content themselves. But at the same time, Amazon, from the very opening of its website, allowed customers to leave reviews on products. In a way, the corporation was ahead of its time.
It is believed that the era of Web 2.0 began in 2004 and continues to this day. Now large corporations and vast numbers of users have joined the game. The former took control of the network and began to build online empires, and the latter were allowed to participate in the creation of content. Web 2.0 itself works on the principle of Read/Write Web (you can read and write on the network.)
Widespread authorization and the ability to create an account on almost every site have come to the internet. Users began to voluntarily leave their data and consent to data collection in exchange for convenience and the ability to use resources.
Companies also got the opportunity to make money on data by selling it to advertising agencies, and some opened their own such services, which helped to fully concentrate profits in their hands.
Social functions have appeared in Web 2.0: more and more resources allow users to communicate with each other, exchange messages, and make calls.
The changes were reflected in the design. The appearance of the sites became more pleasant, rounded shapes began to prevail along with simple, precisely-matched colors; and designers began to pay attention not only to appearance but also to convenience. Websites have become simpler, but no less informative.
In general, it is noted that Web 2.0 is dominated by patterns that kill the individuality and originality of sites. Typography came into use: the text on the sites began to stand out as important. There are titles, subheadings, different fonts, underscores, and highlights. And sites have become adaptive: the same web portal can be opened both on a desktop and a smartphone.
Website development has become more complicated compared to Web 1.0. For the convenience of users, web services have appeared, and data has begun to be transmitted in JSON or XML formats. Most of the operations have moved to the company's servers, and users no longer need to take care of updating data and computing power. AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) allowed pages not to be reloaded every time, but to asynchronously load only the data that the user needs.
The internet of the Web 2.0 era is "ruled" by recommendation algorithms. It is in the interests of corporations to keep the user's attention on the platform, so companies tend to recommend to the user the content that will be interesting to them.
Algorithms take into account many factors and work almost everywhere, from social networks to marketplaces. That is why, for example, if two users open the YouTube homepage, the content on it will be radically different. This principle shows another difference between Web 2.0 and the first "version" of the network when thousands of users viewed the same page.
Given the growing popularity of social networks and the abundance of content, companies have become more attentive to published information. Strict rules and moderation have appeared on the platforms. Users do not control the published content, and companies have the right to delete content that violates their rules.
Here are some of the defining characteristics of Web 3.0:
decentralization: Data will no longer be stored on single servers, but will be distributed among users. The necessary calculations will move from data centers to laptops, smartphones, and "smart" gadgets of users. Currently, some technologies make it possible to achieve this, but there is no consensus on which of them will be the basis of the "new internet."
Decentralized vs. centralized: what's the difference, and which is the better choice? Read more here.
AI and machine learning: Intelligent algorithms will not disappear from the Web and will also continue to help users search for the necessary content. Some researchers note that in the future, AI can be used to identify custom comments on marketplaces, which will help create more transparent services.
Openness: The software will be mostly open source, which will allow you to thoroughly understand how the tools work and how they interact with the user.
Freedom: It is expected that censorship on the Web will be abolished, and everyone will have the opportunity to publish any content; the role of moderation will be assumed by the community, not corporations.
Ubiquity: Experts assume that in the era of Web 3.0, the internet will be almost everywhere, and IoT devices and "smart" gadgets will become distributors.
Semantic web: Machines do not understand natural language queries well and still often make mistakes. To improve this process, it is planned to use semantic web technology, when information of the type "subject — [a type of relationship] — another subject" can be obtained from the network, and logical connections can be built based on this data.
In addition to the key differences, enthusiasts and experts predict other changes. Firstly, the method of authorization in the services may change to a single layer, which will be the key to all resources on the network. Something similar is implemented now: with the help of a Google or Facebook account, you can log in to almost any site, but in the case of Web 3.0, a single account can become both a wallet and a banking application.
Secondly, the internet will become more democratized and the usefulness of content will be determined by Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), which will become large companies and services, and DAO participants will have the right to vote and make decisions important for content and organizations themselves. In other words, it is something like a global system of karma.
How soon can we expect the transition to Web 3.0?
Decentralization does not mean abandoning data. And there are no serious prerequisites for the fact that there is less data about users.
Users are happy to upload all their information to social networks. And corporations successfully analyze it and sell it to advertisers.
The transition will take place at the moment when decentralized networks become more convenient and attractive than classic ones.
Bitcoin is several orders of magnitude simpler, faster, and cheaper than SWIFT. YouTube is more interesting than TV. News on Twitter appears earlier than in the media. Convenience and trust are the main incentives, not the underlying technologies.
How to buy bitcoin anonymously. The methods that work are here.
Decentralization is a complex mechanism. All other things being equal, a centralized database is faster and cheaper to develop than a blockchain.
If corporations can maintain the trust of users in their platforms, that decentralization may not be in demand by a wide range of users, at least not for some time.

'Malala's Tempest Of Darkness & Light', released by Mira Sound Germany on Audio Single and DVD, is Michel Montecrossa's New-Topical-Song dedicated to the Pakistani girl Malala Yousafzai who was nearly shot to death by the Taliban and her battle for her freedom to receive education, to have her future and to live in a good world.
"The future is young, it is not old. Malala Yousafzai is a young girl from Pakistan fighting for her freedom to receive education, to have her future and to live in a good world. For that she was nearly shot to death by Taliban. But it is the young who are the future of us all, not the merciless old. The young are the new, the progress, the unexpected, the free. They must be protected, helped, brought to fulfillment if human civilization, humanity itself wants to survive.
When they mistreated her light of intelligence, / mistreated the light of her soul, / when they mistreated her simple confidence, / the understanding of hope, / then, I say, they brought darkness and the fall.
When they mistreat the balance of harmony, / lead people away from the goal, / turn the simple into the blood of misery, / turn the warm into the cold, / then, I say, this is darkness of the old.
When they mistreat the cycles of life, / cheat the meaning, the true gold, / when they mistreat, the right with the wrong, / become a danger for the young, / then, I say, this is the darkness and is not at all strong.
When they sell kids to hell, / mistreat everything that helps, / lead people into unhappiness / and have no conscience at all, / then, I say, this is the darkness of the death of their soul.

Als Abschluss der Gesprächsrunde sagte Michel Montecrossa: "Hoffnung ist Zukunft. Zukunft ist das Wunderbare, das Göttliche. Aus diesem Wunderbaren ist die Wirklichkeit gemacht.

'Talking Aamir Khan From India', released by Mira Sound Germany on Audio Single and DVD, is Michel Montecrossa's New-Topical-Song, calling for cultural, social, humanitarian and ecological awakening to the urgent need for Human Unity, for co-operation, for freedom and standing together for a young future of hope, love and peace.
"My New-Topical-Song and movie 'Talking Aamir Khan From India' was triggered by Bollywood megastar Aamir Khan's controversial and taboo breaking talk show 'Satyamev Jayate – The Truth Alone Prevails'. This show attracts a mass viewership of up to 500 Millions. Tackling some of India's most serious social issues it is a great and important reaction to the big waves of change sweeping over the globe, born from the international democracy and occupy movements, courageous women activists, green energy revolutionaries and the mass outcry of the jobless young everywhere demanding free access to education, demanding their future from the dangerous old, demanding a world without corruption, discrimination, slavery, abuse, poverty and hunger.
Aamir Khan is a good man, megastar by hand. / To India he brings his ideals of social change, / saying: "The truth alone prevails," / in his talk show gives a voice to the lonely, to their pain.
When Aamir speaks out loud, rapists are driven out / and injustice is no longer covered by the dark. / He is the Indian Oprah for hundreds of millions of viewers, / tackling India's most serious social issues.
Aamir Khan is breaking taboos to make things better, / is pointing to the future of great social changes in India happening, / is pointing, I say, in the direction of change in the world / and for this future world building India's change is most important, my friend.

There is nothing quite like the taste of homemade cornbread straight from the oven. A longtime Southern staple, a good cornbread recipe will save you in a pinch, and its purposes are endless. Did guests unexpectedly pop in? Bake it up, and serve with honey or jam. Do you need to bring a side dish to the upcoming holiday dinner? This Buttermilk Cornbread Skillet will disappear from the table in minutes.
Made in a true Southern style from Camellia Beans, a beloved New Orleans brand, yellow cornmeal comes together with whole buttermilk to create a deliciously crumbly cast iron skillet recipe. So grab your handy 10-inch cast iron skillet, and let's get to baking.
As always, you'll want to combine the dry ingredients together in a large bowl before adding the wet ingredients when beginning this skillet cornbread. When browning the butter in your cast iron pan, be sure that you have a hot skillet. The heat will give the bread a nice golden brown crust in the melted butter, typical of Southern cornbread.
If you're making this for the holidays, you can make a double batch and use the second to make a stellar cornbread dressing, just like country star Thomas Rhett loves.
Here are the ingredients you'll need, per Camellia's full recipe.
To find the full recipe, head on over to Camellia.

"Ma ismuka?" I asked my Syrian friend's little brother, expecting him to answer with his name. He looked at me, confused. I had just made a big Arabic learner faux pas: dialect confusion.
As I had learned a while ago, there are two most common types of Arabic: colloquial and literary. Literary Arabic, or Fus'Ha is used in print, but is seldom spoken. Of the different Arabic dialects, the one I am learning is Shaami, or Levantine Arabic, which is spoken in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine. While earlier, it all sounded pretty simple in theory, I later realized that Fus'Ha and Shaami are basically two different languages. When I had tried to converse with my friend's brother, I had presumed that the reason for his confusion was my accent. I now know that it was a dialect error. Instead of asking "Ma ismuka?", which is Fus'Ha, I should have used "Shuu ismak?", the proper Shaami phrase. As I started learning more and more vocabulary, I realized that using a textbook and some online resources wouldn't cut it. Perhaps I could take some extra help.
I remembered something my French teacher had suggested to me when I was filling out my NSLI-Y application. After learning about my interest in Arabic, she had told me about Hanane, a fluent Arabic speaker who grew up in Lebanon, and is a student at our school. As I sat down to email Hanane, I was a little nervous. I had never talked to her before, and I wasn't sure how she would respond. She emailed me back within minutes expressing a strong enthusiasm, and telling me that she was definitely willing to help me with Arabic! I was so touched by her kind gesture and support! However, there was one challenge. Hanane was unavailable after school, and we didn't have a common study hall. With that, I decided to email our fourth and eighth period teachers to see if they could give us special permission to use advisory (a twenty-five minute period for announcements and studying) to practice Arabic. All of the teachers were extremely supportive of this, and without any hesitation, they allowed us to meet during advisory four times a week, and even let us use a conference room to have quite place to practice! For those who may not know, I go to a small charter school called Meridian, and this has been one of the many times they have supported me with my language endeavors!
This week was the first week of my Arabic sessions with Hanane, and I have already learnt so much! I have been bringing my Alif Baa textbook as well as my own Arabic notebook, so that I can take notes on what I have learnt. So far, we have covered self introductions, greetings, as well as asking and responding to "How are you?". In addition, I have been learning some survival phrases so that I can ask how much things cost, where the bathroom is, and "Do you speak English?". And of course, everything that I am learning with Hanane is in Shaami. In other words, these are real, authentic phrases that I will be able to use when I arrive in Jordan!
I am having a great time learning with Hanane, and I am so thankful for all of her help. Not only have I found her to be a great teacher, she is also becoming a friend. I am so excited for the coming weeks, and I will be keeping you all updated about my experiences!
Muchas gracias Sra. Farrés! Usted siempre me da confianza!


If you're wondering why I've been posting more than usual the last couple days, it's because I'm home with the flu. When wrapped in blankets and doped up on Sudafed it's a lot easier to futz around on the internet than attempt any actual work.
It turns out that flu levels are at their highest point for the season. I know this through Google's Flu Trends, one of the company's cleverest applications. It seems someone noticed that activity levels of certain search terms correlate tightly with CDC's official flu statistics, but lead CDC's estimates by two weeks. Amazing.
Get well soon Alex! I MUST get my daily dose of your ant photos! Ha! Seriously, hope you are feeling better soon.
