The Great British Remainalade
Don't believe for a single moment that Brexiteers own the rights to British patriotism and identity. I am a British patriot and I am one hundred per cent behind Britain remaining in the EU. If May talks about a red, white and blue Brexit we fight back with a traditional, British Remainalade.
I love my country for its long history of openness, tolerance and desire to trade with the world. I love my country's cliff-walks, right-of-ways for ramblers, the sound of leather balls hitting a cricket bat on lazy summer afternoon, I am proud of Pimms with mint, cucumber and strawberries, I love British pies, camping in Cornwall, walking in Snowdonia and hiking in the Lake District. I love it that Manchester had a club scene in the 1990's, that it is a country which produced Train Spotting 1 (and now 2) and that it is a land full of eccentric writers, musicians and muses. No other country I can think of has come up with anything comparable to The Sex Pistols or The Cure. I am immensely proud that from these shores come some of the world's best female writers not least Jane Austin, George Eliot and Virginia Wolf. Who can not but be proud of Oscar Wild's wit "Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious" or Churchill's quips, "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."
I refuse to believe that all of these things – all of which are precious to me – will forever be tainted in a fine layer of pollution and fumes from a bunch of vicious patriots and lying politicians who've left the truth behind in the dressing-room. I refuse to give Paul Dacre from The Daily Mail, Boris Johnson, Michael Gove or Nigel Farage the final say on what it means to be British. Which brings me on to marmalade. I can not think of anything more traditional and British than the bitter, sour, sweet jam made from Seville Oranges. (Yes, that's in Spain Mr Farage. No oranges from Seville – no marmalade. We can't grow them in Shropshire, Yorkshire or Gloucestershire).
My father is bereft when marmalade is missing from the breakfast table and his face lights up whenever someone turns up with a pot of the sticky, orange stuff.
James Bond, insisted in "From Russia with Love", that breakfast be served with "two thick slices of whole wheat toast accompanied with Jersey butter, Tiptree "Little Scarlet" strawberry jam, Coopers Vintage Oxford marmalade, and Norwegian honey." Bond was quite clearly a man of taste, culture, refinement and adventurous travel. Ian Fleming would be appalled at the thought that oranges from Spain would become too expensive to grace the table of the world's most famous spy – and all because of Brexit!
… and please let us not forget dear Paddington Bear – a quintessentially British bear who actually comes from deepest, darkest Peru (yes, Mr Gove, Paddington is an immigrant) but who arrives with a suitcase full of marmalade. Luckily for children everywhere Mr and Mrs Brown were not suspicious, vicious supporters of Boris Johnson and welcomed the loveable bear into their home.
Marmalade is an acquired taste that seems to be popular only in Great Britain. The bitter, sweet, sour flavour of a well-made marmalade is an old, traditional and long-established jam that sums up what it means to be British. No other country I can think of (but please correct me if I'm wrong) boils oranges in their juices until soft, adds sugar, leaves it to set and then spreads it on bread as a special treat. Like mince pies, Christmas pudding and marmite, most non-Brits look vaguely alarmed at having to try marmalade. Unlike strawberry or raspberry jam, marmalade has a more timbered, robust flavour – but as with all acquired tastes once acquired it is hard to let go with the palate often searching for and desirous of the adult, complex flavours that only a good, old-fashioned marmalade can deliver.
So to show Farage, Gove, Johnson, May and Dacre that they can not and do not own the rights to what it means to be British I present to you – The Great British Remainalade recipe. Delicious. What are you waiting for? Roll up your sleeves, purchase your sour oranges from Spain or Italy while you still can and get chopping. Make Remainalade – and show your support for Britain in a peaceful, thriving, prosperous Europe!
1 kg of oranges will deliver approx. 4 x 450 ml jars of Remainalade
1 kg sour oranges[1]
1 lt. water
500 gr. sugar
Added pectin
A shot of whiskey, red martini, Campari or Cointreau
Wash the oranges under cold water and remove the green buttons at the end of the orange. Cut the orange in half along the equator and squeeze as much of the juice out as you can. 1 kg of oranges should deliver approx. 800 ml of juice. Put the squeezed juice together with the 1 lt. water in a deep, thick-bottomed pan.
Push the bottom of the cut and squeezed orange up so that the pith is facing upwards in a dome-like shape. Starting from the top and using a sharp knife begin to peel the squeezed flesh and pith away – it goes quicker than you might think. Keep this to one side.
Once finished you should be left with just the orange peel and some residual pith. Cut the peel into thin slices and add them to the juice.
All of the left over flesh and pith put into either a muslin bag (or if you don't have one) put into a clean tea-towel, tie a string around it and add to the pan. Cover and leave over-night.
Bring the mixture to a full boil and then turn the heat down and leave to simmer for two hours or until 1/3 of the liquid has been reduced.
After two hours heat up the sugar in the oven and add one or two sachets of pectin to help thicken the juice. (Traditional recipes rely solely on the pith from the oranges in the muslin bag to provide enough pectin but I've always found it hard to reach the setting point relying on this method alone so you may want to add some powdered pectin to give the Remainalade a helping hand).
Add the sugar (and pectin if using) to the marmalade and bring once more to a rolling boil. Leave it to cook for a further five minutes and then remove from the heat.
Leave it to rest for five to ten minutes. This helps to settle the peel and prevent it from rising to the surface. When ready pour the marmalade into sterilised jars. If you want you can top the jars up with a shot of your favourite tipple – whiskey or Campari, red martini or rum – the choice is yours.
As for me I made:
The Grandpa Whiskey-Marmalade Special
The Angelika Red Martini-Marmalade Delight and
Remainalade.
[1] If you can buy Seville Oranges great. They are one of the oldest varieties of oranges and as a result are very bitter, sour and full of pips. This means they are unappealing as a table orange but very desirable for cooking. The thick skin, pips and pith contain lots of pectin and the bitter, sour flavour is brilliantly off-set by the added sugar. Seville Oranges, however, can be hard to come by. A good alternative are blood red-oranges from Italy which tend to be more sour than sweet. The ones I made in this recipe were blood-oranges from Italy.

Synopsis : Information and chart regarding the number of work credits you need for claiming disability benefits in the United States.
The definition of disability under U.S Social Security is different than other programs. U.S. Social Security pays only for total disability. No benefits are payable for partial disability or for short-term disability.
To qualify for Social Security disability benefits, you must first have worked in jobs covered by Social Security. Then you must have a medical condition that meets Social Security's definition of disability.
The number of work credits needed for disability benefits depends on your age when you became disabled.
Generally you need 40 credits, 20 of which were earned in the last 10 years ending with the year you became disabled. However, younger workers may qualify with fewer credits.
When you work and pay Social Security taxes, you earn up to a maximum of four "credits" for each year. The way you earn a credit has changed over the years.
Before 1978, employers reported your earnings every 3 months and we called credits "quarters of coverage," or QCs. Back then, you got a QC or credit if you earned at least $50 in a 3-month calendar quarter.
The amount of earnings it takes to earn a credit has changed since 1978. In the year 2014, you must earn $1,200 in covered earnings to get one Social Security or Medicare work credit and $4,800 to get the maximum four credits for the year.
Before age 24 - You may qualify if you have 6 credits earned in the 3-year period ending when your disability starts.
Age 24 to 31 - You may qualify if you have credit for working half the time between age 21 and the time you become disabled. For example, if you become disabled at age 27, you would need credit for 3 years of work (12 credits) out of the past 6 years (between ages 21 and 27).
Age 31 or older - In general, you need to have the number of work credits shown in the chart below.
You do not earn credits for pension payments or for interest or dividends on savings and investments. You do not pay Social Security tax on that kind of income.
- Begin receiving benefits as early as age 50 if you are disabled AND the disability started before or within seven years of the worker's death.
For a child with a disability to receive benefits on your record after age 18, the disabling impairment must have started before age 22, and he or she must meet the definition of disability for adults.
An adult disabled before age 22 may be eligible for child's benefits if a parent is deceased or starts receiving retirement or disability benefits.
Military service members can receive expedited processing of disability claims from Social Security. Benefits available through Social Security are different than those from the Department of Veterans Affairs and require a separate application.
Contact your local U.S. Department of Social Security for full and Current criteria.

This week's post introduces a wonderful topological puzzle. Topology is one of the newest fields in mathematics. To illustrate this, note that Henri Poincare' (1854-1912), who is considered the founder of algebraic topology, published the first systematic treatment of topology in 1895. On the other hand, Euclid (330?-275? BCE), the father of geometry, wrote his 13-volume work on geometry, Elements, more than two thousand years earlier. As you can see, topology is a relative newcomer in the field of mathematics.
The Perplexing Pencil Puzzle utilizes this rubber sheet geometry to create a seemingly simple, yet for most people, extremely challenging puzzle. In this puzzle a pencil with a string loop is attached to a buttonhole while the person who will be challenged to remove it watches. It is a rare person who can remove the pencil and loop, even after seeing it being attached.
To make this puzzle, you need a pencil and some string. I like to use a new, unsharpened pencil, so students won't accidentally poke themselves when trying to solve the puzzle. This also keeps pencil marks from getting on the shirt. Drill a hole through the pencil just under the metal band that holds the eraser. The easiest way to do this is with an electric drill using a small bit, but you can also use the point on a compass, ice pick, or other similar object to drill the hole by hand. Thread the string through the hole and tie a knot in it so that the loop created is about one to two centimeters shorter than the pencil.
After making the puzzle, you will need to practice attaching and detaching it before introducing it to your students. Find an old shirt with buttonholes large enough for the pencil to pass through easily. Follow the steps on the activity sheet to attach the pencil and loop of string to the shirt. After doing this, try to remove the pencil without cutting the string or shortening the pencil. (Some enterprising students have solved this puzzle using the pencil sharpener!) If you can think "topologically" you should be able to remove the pencil and solve the puzzle.
There are numerous ways to introduce this puzzle to your students. One way is simply to take the shirt and pencil setup to class and attach the pencil while students watch. After doing this, place the shirt at a center and individuals or small groups of students can work on the puzzle in their free time. If you use centers, several puzzle setups can be placed in a center. A more fun, but potentially risky, way to introduce the puzzle is to make multiple pencil setups and attach them to your student's clothing. You must use proper discretion if you choose this approach. I only attached the pencils to my male student's shirt (with hilarious results) or to either male or female student's coats or jackets, which they weren't wearing at the time. It is getting harder to use this latter approach since fewer clothes, especially those worn by students to school, have buttonholes nowadays. Use whatever approach best fits you situation, but remember, you will have to solve the puzzle yourself first!
Now that the pencil is attached, all you have to do is remove it and you've solved the puzzle. Good luck!
To solve The Perplexing Pencil Puzzle all you need to do is to reverse the process you used to attach the pencil and loop to the buttonhole. To do this, loosen the knot so that the loop surrounds the buttonhole. Pull the material around the buttonhole up though the loop so that the material is several centimeters above the loop. Next, poke the eraser end of the pencil through the buttonhole. Once the pencil is through the buttonhole, pull on it from below and it should come out quite easily. If there is not enough slack in the string to free the pencil, pull more material up through the loop and try again.
This puzzle is quite like the method I use to connect a pair of mittens, attached to each other with sewn on ribbon, to the neck locker loop of a jacket, so the mittens do not fall out of the sleeves. Push a loop of the ribbon through the locker loop. Then expand that ribbon above the locker loop to be large enough to pass one mitten through it. then tighten up the ribbon, and even out the lengths of ribbon from locker loop to end of each sleeve.


Extremely pleased, and I have sent your website link to my friends.
I was pleased with the entire process from ordering to delivery.
Website was having difficulties at the time I placed the order but I received an email stating that and telling me that if I needed to call them I should. I did and they were so incredibly helpful, kind and patient. I will definitely use them again!!
I really like this store and have ordered from it before and will continue to do so. However, I believe some products would benefit from a little quality control.
photos were accurate representation of items and shipping was faster than expected. Very easy to use the website.
It was an easy transaction and great experience.
Cookies were broken this time, times in the past when i sent these to customers they were GREAT. I will come back again, to try one more time.

Desperate Europe-bound migrants turn to capricious Black Sea
Until now Romania has largely avoided the kind of influx of refugees and migrants seen elsewhere in Europe
Until now Romania has largely avoided the kind of influx of refugees and migrants seen elsewhere in Europe (AFP Photo/Cornel Putan)
Anca Teodorescu and Mihaela Rodina
Constanta (Romania) (AFP) - While the arrival of exhausted migrants may be common on Mediterranean shores, it's a rare sight on the Black Sea coastline.
But a string of recent arrivals from Turkey suggests it may be emerging as part of a new 'Romanian route' to western Europe.
Shortly before dawn on Wednesday, around 150 people, a third of them children, were rescued in the Black Sea -- the fifth migrant boat to be intercepted by Romanian authorities since mid-August.
The arrival of some 570 Iraqis, Syrians, Afghans, Iranians and Pakistanis in less than a month remains modest compared to the influx recorded in the Mediterranean.
In 2014, the last year of relative activity, close to 300 migrants crossed the Black Sea to reach Romania.
EU member Romania is not part of the bloc's passport-free Schengen zone and until now has largely avoided the kind of influx of refugees and migrants seen elsewhere on the continent over the past few years.
The latest developments are being carefully watched in the country.
"This seems to indicate that smugglers are trying to find a route through the Black Sea," Krzysztof Borowski, a spokesman for Frontex, the EU's border force agency, told AFP.
Smugglers are looking for more affluent migrants to pay the fare for the new route which avoids Greece, where arrivals risk deportation under an agreement between the EU and Ankara, explained Mircea Mocanu, head of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Romania.
The crossing between Turkey and Romania can cost between 1,000 and 3,000 euros, he added.
However, he is doubtful there will be in an influx of boats during the colder months: "It is ten times more difficult to cross the Black Sea than the Mediterranean Sea."
"It's the Black Sea, not because of its colour but because of the danger during storms," said Police Commissioner Gabriel Cerchez, who was part of Tuesday's rescue.
"Until the boat enters the port, it could capsize at any time."
- 'Ready for anything' -
Other tests await migrants who dare to make the crossing in a bid to reach western Europe, where reinforced controls and fences make it difficult to cross borders.
In Timisoara, close to the border with Hungary, hundreds of migrants are waiting for an opportunity to cross over.
At the immigration centre, Tarek, a 19-year-old Syrian, told AFP he had been stopped while trying to reach the border in a car.
He has decided to stay in Romania to become a computer engineer, but he said many of his friends are "ready to do anything" to leave.
"People come and ask: 'do you want to stay or go? Because I know a way to get to Germany that's 100 percent safe'," he said, adding that middle-men get 100 euros for setting up a migrant with a smuggler.
Not far from the centre, around 15 men were gathered on wasteland in a makeshift camp, in hope of finding a smuggler.
Among them, Rafi, a 23-year-old Pakistani, and Zakir, a young Afghan, said they crossed from Hungary in to Romania by foot.
A direct crossing from Serbia to Hungary has become almost impossible because of the barbed wire fencing erected between the two countries, while the long Romanian-Hungarian border remains open.
According to Romania's border police, more than 1,200 people attempting to cross the western border have been arrested since the beginning of the year, compared to 900 in for all of 2016.
The IOM estimates that 80 percent of attempts fail.
For Tarek, is it a bitter conclusion: "A year and a half of my life has been wasted in the hope of joining the promised land."

Art isn't just for walls. We're increasingly seeing designs created or inspired by artists applied to all kinds of interior décor – from bed linen, cushions, towels, rugs to crockery – making the 'elite' art world accessible, affordable and tangible for everyone.
Finnish design powerhouse, Marimekko, started this trend back in the 1950s, transferring their graphic art onto fabrics. They now not only have a vast collection of textiles and fashion lines, but a range of interior products from trays, plates, mugs, table cloths and bowls to cushions, through to storage solutions, blankets and bedding that all feature their signature edgy art prints.
The transference of art to beautify interior accessories is a trend that is set to continue.
Expect to see dramatic macro painterly strokes, bold arcs, playful patterns and quirky bright prints that are reminiscent of '80s-esque Ken Done creations coming to the fore on home interior textiles and upholsteries.
Much like art, there are no rules when applying this look into your interiors through decorative accessories and soft furnishings. Patterns paired with tonal, earthy or vivid colours, through to monochromatic schemes will be in, bringing a sense of optimism and cheer. The result creates visual interest in a contemporary home with a touch of edginess and stylish quirk.
Enjoy the painterly look on your bed with the Darren Palmer Surge Jacquard Quilt Cover Set. Embrace the expressive brush stroke quality with Carpet Court's Contempo Colour Etched Almond Rug. For a more traditional approach to artistic application that is romantic and fluid in form, look to Carpet Court's Botanical Rugin colour Flower Multi.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease that causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function in the joints. It occurs when the immune system, which normally defends the body from invading organisms, turns its attack against the membrane lining the joints.
Rheumatoid arthritis has several features that make it different from other kinds of arthritis. For example, rheumatoid arthritis generally occurs in a symmetrical pattern, meaning that if one knee or hand is involved, the other one also is. The disease often affects the wrist joints and the finger joints closest to the hand. It can also affect other parts of the body besides the joints. In addition, people with rheumatoid arthritis may have fatigue, occasional fevers, and a loss of energy.
The course of rheumatoid arthritis can range from mild to severe. In most cases it is chronic, meaning it lasts a long time—often a lifetime. For many people, periods of relatively mild disease activity are punctuated by flares, or times of heightened disease activity. In others, symptoms are constant.
Early diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is important to prevent permanent joint damage.
IMAGE: A joint (the place where two bones meet) is surrounded by a capsule that protects and supports it. The joint capsule is lined with a type of tissue called synovium, which produces synovial fluid that lubricates and nourishes joint tissues. In rheumatoid arthritis, the synovium becomes inflamed, causing warmth, redness, swelling, and pain. As the disease progresses, the inflamed synovium invades and damages the cartilage and bone of the joint. Surrounding muscles, ligaments, and tendons become weakened. Rheumatoid arthritis also can cause more generalized bone loss that may lead to osteoporosis (fragile bones that are prone to fracture).
Features of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Tender, warm, swollen joints
Symmetrical pattern of affected joints
Joint inflammation often affecting the wrist and finger joints closest to the hand
Joint inflammation sometimes affecting other joints, including the neck, shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, ankles, and feet
Fatigue, occasional fevers, a loss of energy
Pain and stiffness lasting for more than 30 minutes in the morning or after a long rest
Symptoms that last for many years
Variability of symptoms among people with the disease.
How Does Rheumatoid Arthritis Affect People's Lives?
Rheumatoid arthritis affects people differently. Some people have mild or moderate forms of the disease, with periods of worsening symptoms, called flares, and periods in which they feel better, called remissions. Others have a severe form of the disease that is active most of the time, lasts for many years or a lifetime, and leads to serious joint damage and disability.
Although rheumatoid arthritis is primarily a disease of the joints, its effects are not just physical. Many people with rheumatoid arthritis also experience issues related to:
depression, anxiety
feelings of helplessness
low self-esteem.
Rheumatoid arthritis can affect virtually every area of a person's life from work life to family life. It can also interfere with the joys and responsibilities of family life and may affect the decision to have children.
Fortunately, current treatment strategies allow most people with the disease to lead active and productive lives.
These strategies include pain-relieving drugs and medications that slow joint damage, a balance between rest and exercise, and patient education and support programs.
1According to the National Arthritis Data Workgroup, the actual number of new cases of rheumatoid arthritis is lower than previous estimates because of changes in the classification for the condition, as cited in Helmick CG, Felson DT, Lawrence RC, Gabriel S, Hirsch R, Kwoh CK, Liang MH, Kremers HM, Mayes MD, Merkel PA, Pillemer SR, Reveille JD, Stone JH, for the National Arthritis Data Workgroup.

Adorable mini, heart-shaped, two-layer chocolate cakes topped with slightly sweet coconut oil frosting. An impressive and delightful treat to make for any occasion.
Cakes are a labor of love. Can I just say?
I feel like every time I'm even thinking about making a cake, I have to battle plan. Dude… if you've read my about page, you'll know about my history with cake. It's a such a sweet, yet cloyingly complicated and often unforgiving, dessert.
Like, when you were five, and stuffing your face with birthday cake and happily crunching on surprise birthday sprinkles, did you think for one second how hard it was to make that cake?
For me, that's a big, fat NO.
Now, in my sad, almost pathetic attempt at being a full-blown adult, I've got to worry about making things like cake. Cake, I'm giving you a dirty look right now. And, truth be told, if my only concern in life was making cake, then things are probably looking pretty good for me.
So why am I babbling here, talking about the limitless wretchedness of making cake… um, for a CAKE post?
Well, my friends, there is one cake recipe that has not browbeaten me like all the others have. It's a little recipe (aka FAMOUS recipe) from the Interwebs called something like 'Best Chocolate Cake that happens to be vegan" or something.
Have you tried it? You should, bc… it's awesome!
Anywho, this wonderifically simple recipe gave me the courage, nay, the astounding audacity to plan out two-layered mini, wait for it, heart-shaped cakes. Guuuuuurl. Did I just say cake? Followed by a delusion-driven 'layers'??? And then add on a freaking ideogram-shaped cutting device?
What's life about if not taking risks? Having ambitious ideas: whether for work, kitchen adventures or family stuff? Here at beaming baker, folks are allowed to dream. Then do.
And now that I'm feeling especially brazen, I'll just admit that I made coconut oil frosting too. Awww, sh…..
Alright, alright, you're saying to yourself. But did it work out for this alleged 'beaming baker'? Yes, friend. It did.
Let me walk you through it, if I may.
First, you put on Eye of the Tiger. The gray, sweaty sweatsuit is optional. The gray, sweaty headband is not. J/k! But that headband would really put steel in your spine, for courage purposes only, of course. Then, you preheat the oven and line a cookie sheet (yep, a cookie sheet) with parchment paper.
The cool thing about these mini cakes is that they bake fast. That's because I dialed down the thickness of the cake layers to make them suitable for the mini cake theme. Hence, you don't even need to use a deep cake pan/dish/sheet. It's called efficiency. And it's kawaii, ftw.
Now, go ahead and get your wet ingredient/dry ingredient groove on. Add all the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl and whisk together. Add all the wet ingredients together in another bowl and whisk together. Easy as pie. I won't say cake… you know why.
Then, make a swell well (couldn't help myself) in your dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients in and give it a good, confident whisking. Yep, you've got to watch out for overmixing. That means that you just whisk it until everything is integrated, but not smooth. If you're going for smooth, you're gonna go too far. And too far = tough cake. Not good, friends.
Now, for the fun part: pour the batter onto your cookie sheet. Use a rubber spatula to spread the cake into a layer of thickness that works best for you. I did about 1/2 to 2/3" since it bakes up a bit. Then, pop it into the oven and bake. Pat yourself on the back (or adjust your headband to victory position, whatever that means), you've done most of the work!
Then, you grab your trusty stand mixer. If you have a handheld mixer, this will work too. Pop in your coconut oil and mix until smooth. This is gonna take a few minutes. Then, add in your powdered sugar and cocoa powder. This part is the most experimental. You've got to go with what feels right or whatever tastes good. Nice. Then add in your vanilla extract and almond milk, as need.
Once the coconut oil frosting is all done, set it aside. We have big plans for that guy later.
Go ahead and hit repeat on your Rocky soundtrack. Check on your cake. Is it done? Cool. I mean that literally. Remove it and let it cool until it doesn't even have a hint of heat. This is a great time for taking a nap washing dishes. I know, no one wants to do them. But someone has to. Lame, I agree.
Once your cake is cool, it's time to make magic. Yup, magic. Grab your heart-shaped cookie cutters. Lift the cake carefully out of the sheet and set it on a legit-can-be-scuffed-or-at-least-cut-on-surface. Cut heart-y cake pieces out with the glee of a seven-year-old. Well done! Repeat, you winner, you.
With your truly applause-deserving pile of mini heart cakes sitting on a plate, you're ready to frost! Give your frosting a little stir and delicately (or not, that's up to you, my friend) frost one cake, then put another directly on top. Frost that top, then sprinkle with coconut. No, it isn't wrong that you feel like a more accomplished person. In fact, it's necessary.
Now repeat, like three times. There's enough batter and frosting to make like 10 cakes, but dagnabit if you didn't mess up the first one, ate the next one from sheer excitement, then get winded after you made two perfect ones. O-kay?
Now, you may remove your chocolate-infused, sweat-painted, coconut-oil covered, legit Rocky Balboa-inspired sweat suit and treat yourself to a nice, long bath.
You so deserve it, Tiger.
Adorable mini, heart-shaped, two-layer chocolate cakes topped with slightly sweet coconut oil frosting. An impressive and delightul treat to make for any occasion.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a small cookie sheet with parchment paper or greased foil.
Make chocolate cake: In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: white whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients: warm water, applesauce, vanilla extract, coconut oil and apple cider vinegar.
Make a well in the large bowl of dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into well. Mix until just combined (be careful not to overmix).
Pour batter onto the prepared cookie sheet. Use a rubber spatula to spread batter into an even layer. This layer is going to be between ½" to ⅔" thin. Bake for 10-15 mins.
Remove from oven. Allow to cool on a rack for 1 hour.
Make the frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer, add solid coconut oil. Mix on low speed, with the whisk attachment until softened. Add in ¼ cup of confectioners sugar and 2 tablespoons cocoa powder. Mix in vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon almond milk. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the whisk attachment as needed.
Slowly add ¼ cup increments of confectioners sugar until you reach the desired consistency. If the frosting is too thick, you can add in another tablespoon of milk. If the frosting is too runny, add in more confectioners sugar.
Assemble the cakes: Once the cake is completely cool to the touch, it's time to cut them into hearts! Gently lift the cake from the pan by grabbing the parchment or foil.
Lay on a flat surface, suitable for cutting. Using heart-shaped cookie cutters, cut heart-shaped pieces of cake. Spread frosting on one heart-shaped cake piece, then add another piece directly on top. Frost the top of the top of that cake, then garnish with coconut. Repeat.
*Distilled white vinegar is okay.
Store cakes in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Best enjoyed within a couple days.
Frosting is best used immediately.

Thanks Megan! 🙂 This chocolate cake will totally hit the spot.
You're dead to me. I imagine right now you're wondering, "why, Stephanie, but why?! Sure I gave you love handles, but I've always been there for you!" Just stop, Debbie. You're embarrassing yourself. Demeter is so much better at this than you AND she makes her adorable little cakes vegan. I mean, come on! Also, she's way funnier. These look so delicious and chocolatey, I need them in my life right now.
You're AWESOME. And LOLOLOL. That girl Debbie better watch her back! That's all I know.
Also, thank you for spreading your astonishing wit and sunny/sassy disposition here at beaming baker. This blog and these little heart-shaped chocolate cakes adore you.
Sending a big, virtual basket of mini cakes to you and in honor or your witticisms.
Hahahaha! Totally laughing through this post. I feel ya girl, cake and I are not friends either. Well we are, but only when I'm shoveling it into my pie hole. But MAKING cake? Yeah, no. However, you have given me the new found inspiration to gain some patience and do the dang thang this weekend for my hunny. LOVE this layered cake! The heart shape just nails it and the flavors sound delicious! Plus frosting. Gimme. 😉 Cheers!
These mini cakes look amazing! Funnily enough, I think cakes are easier to make than pie. So the "easy as pie" doesn't apply to me… but "easy as cake" does!
I am so glad I'm not the only one that listens to pump-up music in the kitchen. It makes baking five times as fun! I for sure sometimes listen to my "run fun" playlist while baking… whisking counts as cardio, riiiight??? Also, I need to negate all the cake I'm going to eat by grooving out!
Does this frosting have a distinct coconut flavor?
Haha. That's awesome, Ellie! My gosh, you're so right! Pie is definitely next, next level stuff. I find that covered pies are a tad trickier than cream pies though. Okay, I've just started drooling simply by typing out "pie" like three times. LOL. Whisking TOTALLY counts as cardio! Or at least anaerobic… it's practically lifting weights, or something… 😉 What songs do you listen to? The coconut flavor definitely depends on the type and brand of coconut oil you use. I find that some brands have a stronger scent and taste than others. But for sure, you'd like this frosting if you enjoy coconut. 🙂 Thanks for exploring so much of my blog Ellie!
Hahaha can you imagine a baking workout class? You do workout exercises and make a treat at the same time (like squat reps when you put the food into the oven). I'd sign up for the class in a heartbeat.
Hmm, I listen to a lot of stuff (when baking and otherwise). I really like Troye Sivan, Sia, MisterWives, Twenty One Pilots, Justin Bieber's new album (I hate that I love it hahaha), Taylor Swift, and whatever else I can jam out and sing to!

Plan for 200 new homes rejected
Plan for 200 new homes in Cayton rejected
By Gazette Reporter
Mill Lane in Cayton where plans for 200 new homes have been rejected Picture: Google Street View
A PLAN to build 200 new homes as part of a major development in Cayton has been thrown out by councillors.
Members Scarborough Council's planning committee refused plans from developer Gladman for the site off Mill Lane in the village.
The scheme would have seen 200 homes, a public open space, landscaping, a parcel of land for future expansion of Cayton Primary School and a vehicular access point from Mill Lane created.
The Gladman application, which was for outline planning permission, stated that it would bring a number of benefits to Cayton and the borough, including more affordable homes.
Council planning officers, however, told the committee there were a number of concerns that had lead them to recommend refusal, including the fact the land is outside the development limits of the borough's Local Plan and in the open countryside.
Also, it was felt that if permission was granted it would lead to the effective coalescence of Cayton and Cayton Bay and that an objection had been received from Yorkshire Water which has flooding concerns.
The planning committee unanimously refused the application.

A new species of Braconid Wasp from Madagascar.
Braconid Wasps are small parasitic Wasps which can typically lay several eggs on a large host species (typically another Insect or Spider). The larval Wasps grow inside the host, before emerging to pupate on its surface; unusually for parasitic Wasps the host is not usually killed. Braconid Wasps of the Afro-tropical region are very poorly understood, with little taxonomic sampling in many areas, and no overall phylogenetic analysis of relationships between different groups having been carried out to date.
In a paper published in the journal Zootaxa on 16 July 2014, Miles Zhang and Barbara Sharanowski of the Department of Entomology at the University of Manitoba, describe a new species of Braconid Wasp from the Ranomafana National Park in Madagascar.
The new species is placed in the genus Eudiospilus, which currently contains only a single species found in Cameroon and Angola, and is given the specific name rubrumbarus, meaning 'Red Baron' in honour of Baron Manfred von Richthofen, due to the resemblance of the head colouration to a leather aviator helmet. Eudiospilus rubrumbarus is described from two female specimens. These are 6.5 mm in length and bright yellow in colour except for the head which is black.

Maintaining a fence can be highly frustrating if you are not aware of the right way of cleaning it. Are you a resident of Tampa, Florida? Are you looking for tips to clean a wood fence, chain link fence, aluminium fence, steel fence or vinyl fence in Tampa? Then you've come to the right place. Here we will teach you everything you need to know about proper fence maintenance. We have covered all the details like what materials will be required for cleaning, the process of cleaning and time required for cleaning different types of fences.
Materials required for cleaning a vinyl fence include: A water hose, vinyl cleaning solution or a bucket full of soapy water, cloth rags and for tougher stains, you would need a scrub brush.
It is recommended that you clean the fence every three to six months. Usually spraying the fence with the water hose should do the trick but for tough stains spray either cleaning solution that can be bought in any hardware shop or a bucket of soapy water. Leave the solution for a while and wipe with a cloth rag. Always rinse it with water and allow the fence to dry.
Materials required for cleaning a wooden fence include: A power washer or water hose, wood stain, wood cleaning solution or bleach, scrub brush/sponge and plastic sheets for protecting the grass if required.
It is recommended that you re-stain or clean the wooden fence once in three to five years. Cedar fences start turning to a grayish color, or the brightness will reduce. Regardless of what wood we have used for the fence, mold starts developing on it. We recommend that you use a plastic sheet to cover the grass before starting any cleaning work as it will protect grass from chemicals.
Mix one part bleach with two parts water if you are not using the wood cleaning solution. Apply the solution to the wooden fence generously and wait till you see the fence regaining its old color and brightness.
Once you finish, use a power washer or water hose for removing tough stains or old paint. Hold the power spray 12 inches away from the fence for better results. The next step is applying the strain, or you can also choose to use wood sealant. Using paint is not a great idea.
Materials required for cleaning steel and aluminum fence – Water hose, scrub brush (soft), soapy water. Cleaning these types of fences is relatively easy.
It is recommended that clean the steel and aluminum fence at least once every year or even more frequently if the need is felt. The fence can be cleaned by spraying water with a hose. You can involve kids as well in this activity as it does not include much complexity. In certain cases, if you feel the need, you can dip a soft scrub brush in a bucket of soapy water and gently scrub the fence before spraying water.
With this information, cleaning and maintaining your fence should be no problem at all.


In this post, we will detail how to perform simple scalable population stratification analysis, leveraging ADAM and Spark MLlib, as previously presented at scala.io.
The data source is the set of genotypes from the 1000genomes project, resulting from whole genomes sequencing run on samples taken from about 1000 individuals with a known geographic and ethnic origin.
run unsupervised learning (clustering) to see if populations are reconstructed in the model.
We're proud to announce the release of ADAM 0.15.0!
This release includes important memory and performance improvements, better documentation, new features and many bug fixes.
We have upgraded from Parquet 1.4.3 to 1.6.0 in order to dramatically reduce our memory footprint. For string columns with dictionary encoding, the amount of memory used will now be proportional to the number of dictionary entries instead of the number of records materialized. Parquet 1.6.0 also provides improved column statistics and the ability to store custom metadata. We will use these features in subsequent ADAM releases to improve random access performance. Note that ADAM 0.14.0 had a serious memory regression so upgrading to 0.15.0 as soon as possible is recommended.
We are unhappy with the quality of the documentation we have been providing ADAM users and are working to improve it. With this release, all documentation has been centralized into the ./docs directory and we're using pandoc to convert the Markdown source into both PDF and HTML formats. We are committed to improving the content of the docs over time and welcome your pull requests!
This release includes binary distributions to make it easier for you to get up and running with ADAM. We do not include any Spark or Hadoop artifacts in order to prevent versioning conflicts. For application developers, we have also changed our Spark and Hadoop dependencies to provided. This means that you can more easily running on ADAM using your preferred Spark and Hadoop version and configuration. We want to make deployment as easy as possible.
Andy Petrella and Xavier Tordoir gave a talk, Scalable Genomics with ADAM, at Scala.IO in Paris, France.
We are at a time where biotech allow us to get personal genomes for $1000. Tremendous progress since the 70s in DNA sequencing have been done, e.g. more samples in an experiment, more genomic coverages at higher speeds. Genomic analysis standards that have been developed over the years weren't designed with scalability and adaptability in mind. In this talk, we'll present a game changing technology in this area, ADAM, initiated by the AMPLab at Berkeley. ADAM is framework based on Apache Spark and the Parquet storage. We'll see how it can speed up a sequence reconstruction to a factor 150.
Andy and Xavier's talk included a demo: using Spark's MLlib to do population stratification across 1000 Genomes in just a few minutes in the cloud using Amazon Web Services (AWS). Their talk highlights the advantages of building on open-source technologies, like Apache Spark and Parquet, designed for performance and scale.
Andy also modified the Scala Notebook to create Spark Notebook which enables visualization and reproducible analysis on Apache Spark inside a web browser. A great addition to the Spark ecosystem!
ADAM 0.14.0 is now available. Special thanks to Arun Ahuja, Timothy Danford, Michael L Heuer, Uri Laserson, Frank Nothaft, Andy Petrella and Ryan Williams for their contributions to this release!
This release uses the newly-released Apache Spark 1.1.0 which brings operational and performance improvements in Spark core. Two new scripts, adam-shell and adam-submit, allow you to use ADAM via the Spark shell or the Spark submit script in addition to the ADAM CLI.
The Hadoop-BAM team is now publishing their artifacts to Maven Central (yea!) so we no longer rely on snapshot releases. ADAM 0.14.0 uses the 7.0.0 release of Hadoop-BAM.
This release also adds a new Java plugin interface, improves MD tag processing as well as fixes numerous bugs.
We hope that you enjoy this release. Drop by #adamdev on freenode.net, follow us on Twitter or subscribe to our mailing list to stay in touch.
ADAM 0.13.0 is now available!
This release includes genome visualization to view aligned reads and coverage information over a reference region. You simply run e.g. adam viz myreads.adam chr1 from the ADAM source directory and open your favorite web browser to http://localhost:8080/ to view your data.
This release also includes a number of features and bug fixes including upgrading to Spark 1.0.1.
Frank Austin Nothaft gave a talk on ADAM at the Spark Summit in San Francisco.
The Spark Summit organizers will make a video of the talk available soon; we will post a link to the talk as soon as it is available.
ADAM 0.12.0 is now available!
ISSUE 260: Modifying conversion code to resolve #112.
ISSUE 258: Adding an 'args' parameter to the plugin framework.
ISSUE 262: Adding reference assembly name to ADAMContig.
ISSUE 257: Adds toString method for sequence dictionary.
ADAM 0.11.0 is now available.
This release allows you not just read but also write to SAM/BAM files, adds utilities for trimming reads, implements contig-to-RefSeq translation, refactors SequenceDictionary to include RefSeq information (and without numeric IDs) and prepare ADAMGenotype for incorporating reference model information, and fixes a bug in FASTA fragments.
ISSUE 250: Adding ADAM to SAM conversion.
ISSUE 248: Adding utilities for read trimming.
ISSUE 249: Cosmetic changes to FastaConverter and FastaConverterSuite.
ISSUE 246: Making sample ID field in genotype nullable.
ISSUE 245: Adding ADAMContig back to ADAMVariant.
This short screencast is meant to get someone new to Scala, IntelliJ, and the Big Data Genomics stack up and running with a configured development environment suitable for working with or on projects like ADAM and Avocado.
We'll walk you through downloading the appropriate JDK, IntelliJ IDE, and plugings. Then we will set up the project (using ADAM as the example), generating sources, packaging the application, and building the project. Finally, we cover running tests, as well as some basic exploration and code navigation using the IDE.

I didn't get a chance to make note of it at the time, but, despite all the good things I've said about him on this blog, Andrew Romanoff lost to Michael Bennet last week.
It's something of a setback for the charisma theory, but I've already noted that charisma has less impact in primaries.
Why did Obama support Bennet again?
People are starting to notice he's a lousy candidate.
Andrew Romanoff continues to gain ground.
He's already been doing better than Bennet; now he's closing in on the likely Republican nominee. As I noted last month, Romanoff is the most charismatic of the three.
President Obama is not a quick learner.
Obama went to Colorado to help out Senator Michael Bennet, who is facing a tough fight for reelection.
Alright, Bennet; do you have any charisma?
No. Who are you up against?
Okay, this guy is way more charismatic. Good work, Dem Strategists.
Well, okay, she's not especially charismatic; she sounds pretty stilted in the way she speaks. However, I think Norton is more telegenic than Bennet. I'd also have to say that Bennet has a more irritating voice, as well. This is not a good mixture for Mr. Bennet.
I think that this is one of the real dangers of appointing somebody to fill a Senate seat, or other elected office, as was the case with Bennet. It means they have to go and run for reelection without ever having had the all-important charisma factor tested. Add to that the fact that it's always harder to run as an incumbent than a challenger, and you have a recipe for failure.
Anyway, this is something that Obama really has got to figure out sooner or later: He can't grant other people his personal charisma. It will not work. I don't actually know why, either. It should work, but the evidence says it doesn't. With that it mind, he shouldn't go around trying to help doomed, non-charismatic candidates.
There is a danger that, charisma being less of a factor in primaries than general elections, Obama's aiding this Bennet guy will end up letting Bennet beat Romanoff and setting him up to lose to Norton.
I'm glad I'm not a Democrat.


I watched my students, their faces stricken. My heart pinched for them . . . because I remembered how it felt, to learn some of these things for the first time.
This school year I'm teaching American Literature, and one of things I love about our school is the flexibility to somewhat develop my own curriculum. So I wanted to explore more than just the standard American Lit texts like The Red Badge of Courage and Grapes of Wrath, though we're reading those too. I wanted to include some of the other American voices I've been learning to listen to over the past few years . . . voices often suppressed in our wider society, voices I hadn't always realized even existed.
So for our second unit, I found a book of wonderful short stories by diverse Native American authors, from the late 19th to late 20th century. My students have loved the book, and we've had lots of good discussion. These young people continue to amaze me with their insight and depth. But since many of them had little to no context for Native American culture and issues before this—only one has had significant interaction with the Native peoples of this land at all, as her family is connected with the ANNA Call movement–I started by sharing a PowerPoint com piling a few of the things I've learned over the past several years . . . about some sides of American history that rather clash with our beloved ideas of the land of the free and home of the brave.
At one point, I paused for breath and glanced around at my students' faces. Sometimes they can be a chatty group, but they sat silent, staring up at the pictures on the screen. And I saw it in their eyes—the pain, the shock. My heart panged for them, for I did remember how it felt.
This is America? This land they had been born in and loved, or, for our many international students, come to as a land of promise and opportunity?
Part of me rather ached to do this to them, especially when I read their responses after we watched Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee in class and I saw how troubled some of them were by this tragic true story.
But I think we need to learn these things. We need a common memory.
Mark Charles talks about how one of the huge deficits in America today, much of what drives our many viewpoint differences and racial tensions and misunderstandings, is our lack of a common memory. Native peoples remember the history of our country one way. African-Americans remember it another way. White people remember it in yet another—which tends to end up as the dominant narrative most often told.
But that doesn't mean it's the whole picture. Or a true one. And when better to start talking about it than Native American Heritage Month, starting today?
Because when our narratives don't match, we end up clashing, misinterpreting each other, not listening to each other. Because we don't understand how fundamentally our stories differ.
We don't understand where our fellow Americans are coming from.
I felt awfully inadequate, in some ways, to try and educate my students on all this. I still have an awful lot to learn. So before I started, I shared pictures with them of my own teachers . . . and not just teachers, but friends.
Ted and Evie Charles. Their son Mark Charles and his family. Casey and Lora Church. The Stoner family. Richard Twiss, who though I've only heard him speak and read his book, still taught me so much.
They are the ones who have helped me see a more complete picture of America and its history and peoples . . . even if it's been hard to hear sometimes. And they are the ones who, as they have embraced me, a white woman descended from those first "undocumented immigrants" of this land, have shown me that through listening to and reaching out to one another, even across centuries of past hurt and wrongs and current cultural divides, there can be—because of Jesus—bridges of love, and forgiveness, and understanding, and healing.
Mark and Rachel Charles, Tim and Joy Stoner of 5 Small Loaves ministries.
That's why we I think we need a common memory—so we can, by God's grace, work towards truly becoming whole.
What do you think? Do you agree with the need for a common memory? Do you feel your own cultural heritage is represented in the typical American narrative? How can we work towards healing and understanding together? Please share your thoughts!

43rd President of the United States: 2001 ‐ 2009
Message to the Senate Transmitting the North Atlantic Treaty Protocols on the Accession of Albania and Croatia
To the Senate of the United States:
I transmit herewith, for Senate advice and consent to ratification, Protocols to the North Atlantic Treaty of 1949 on the Accession of the Republic of Albania and the Republic of Croatia. These Protocols were adopted at Brussels on July 9, 2008, and signed that day on behalf of the United States and the other Parties to the North Atlantic Treaty. Also transmitted for the information of the Senate is the report of the Department of State, which includes an overview of the Protocols.
NATO enlargement remains an historic success in advancing freedom, stability, and democracy in the Euro-Atlantic area. Albania and Croatia serve as two more examples of countries motivated by the prospect of NATO membership to advance significant and difficult political, economic, and military reforms. Their efforts and success demonstrate to other countries in the Balkans and beyond that NATO's door remains open to nations willing to shoulder the responsibilities of membership. I am pleased that, with the advice and consent of the Senate, these new democracies can soon join us as members of this great Alliance.
I ask the Senate to join me in advancing the cause of freedom and strengthening NATO by providing its prompt advice and consent to ratification of these Protocols of Accession. My Administration stands ready to assist you in any way we can in your deliberations.
The White House, July 23, 2008.
NOTE: This message was released by the Office of the Press Secretary on July 24.

Reviews into teacher education emphasise the need for preservice teachers to have more school-based experiences. In this study, a school-based experience was organised within a nine-week science curriculum university unit that allowed preservice teachers' repeated experiences in teaching primary science. This research uses a survey, questionnaire with extended written responses, and researcher observations to investigate preservice teachers' (n=38) learning experiences in two school settings. Survey results indicated that the majority of these preservice teachers either agreed or strongly agreed that school-based experiences developed their: personal-professional skill development (100%); system requirements (range: 81-100%); teaching practices (81-100%); student behaviour management (range: 94-100%); providing student feedback (89-94%); and reflection on practice (92-100%). Qualitative data provided insights into their development particularly for science content knowledge and receiving positive reinforcement on effective teaching behaviours. According to these preservice teachers, the school-based experiences facilitated "teachable moments – having the knowledge or skills to run with students' questions or ideas" and allowed preservice teachers to "critically reflect between groups to make the task flow better". Embedding school-based experiences needs to be part of each and every preservice teacher education unit so preservice teachers can develop confidence, knowledge and skills within authentic school contexts.
