Dipped Chocolate Treats such as Chocolate covered strawberries are without a doubt one of the classiest and most delectable desserts to serve your family, friends, or guests.
You see them on the dessert or appetizer table at bridal showers, baby showers, graduation parties, birthday parties, engagement parties, retirement parties, and weddings and here we will show you how to make them. Have a go at one of our dipped chocolate treats recipes soon.
The deep red strawberries dressed up in dark brown chocolate and possibly drizzled with white chocolate make any dessert table look fabulous!
Our girls always request these and chocolate covered pretzel rods for their birthday parties because they love them and their friends love them too.
Chocolate dipped berries, fruit, or salty snacks are the perfect party food!
But let's not stop there...everything tastes better when it's been dipped in chocolate, right?

It was another day of extremes at Sail Melbourne International for the second day of Olympic class racing (Thursday, 30 November 2017). More high temperatures and a hot breeze blowing off the land did not allow the sailors any cool off out on Port Phillip. A full day of racing was completed in most classes though with gains and losses across the fleets.

IMO Secretary-General outlines challenges facing the Organization
The 30th Assembly of IMO is meeting in London at IMO Headquarters from 27 November to 6 December 2017.
Assembly, 30th session, 27 November to 6 December 2017: Climate change, digital disruption and sustainable development among key areas as IMO moves into new era.
The Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Mr. Kitack Lim, has urged Member States to seize the opportunity to set bold and ambitious goals, when they adopt an initial strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping in 2018.
Speaking (full speech here) at the opening of the Organization's 30th Assembly session, Secretary-General Lim told delegates the whole world would be watching IMO in 2018, looking for something of real substance.
"Next year really will be a time when the world will expect IMO Member States to deliver a clear vision as the first stage of the approved roadmap. I urge you, be bold; set ambitious goals that really will make a difference. You have a real opportunity here to do something of lasting significance. Make the most of it," he told the packed plenary hall at IMO Headquarters in London. IMO's Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) is set to adopt an initial GHG strategy in April 2018.
More than 1,500 delegates from IMO Member States, international governmental and non-governmental organizations have registered to attend the 30th session of the IMO Assembly meets from 27 November to 6 December.
Mr. Lim outlined the key elements of the new "Strategic Plan for the Organization" for 2018 to 2023, which is expected to be adopted by the Assembly.
"The seven strategic directions point us now towards more effective rule-making and implementation processes by integrating new and advancing technology to respond to our challenges, among others, to increase ship safety, including addressing new emerging technologies such as autonomous vessels, our contribution to combat climate change, engagement in ocean governance, mitigation of cyber-crimes, and facilitation of international trade, whilst continuing to take due consideration on the human element factor," Mr. Lim said.
He highlighted his ambition to transform IMO into a "knowledge based Organization", with appropriate analysis to support and improve the already effective rule making process and enhance implementation.
The rapidly increasing pace of change in every sphere raised a fundamental issue, since technology will move far quicker than the regulatory process, he said.
"Digital disruption will arrive in the shipping world very soon; and, when it does, IMO must be ready," Mr. Lim said. "For me, this means the regulatory framework for shipping must be based firmly around goals and functions rather than prescriptive solutions. This is the only way to ensure that measures adopted by IMO are not rendered obsolete by the time-lag between adoption and entry-into-force. I know we have already made good steps in that direction but we must go further and faster in the coming years."
The Organization as a whole needed to become more effective, more nimble and more adaptive, Mr. Lim said, drawing attention to his determination to push forward a "Knowledge based Organization" concept, embracing data in the Secretariat's work and in the decision-making processes.
"We are in the era of digitalization and at the United Nations level we are already looking at frontier issues that include emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, and the benefits they could have in society as a whole, and to remain relevant," Mr. Lim said.
"For IMO, we need to have more detailed and deeper analysis of statistics and data so that we can really understand underlying trends and causal factors behind shipping casualties; and we must make sure that additions and amendments to the regulatory framework are also based, wherever possible, on relevant statistics, studies and analysis. This would pave the way for better regulation, one that not only takes into account the work carried out to reduce administrative burdens, but to avoid disproportionate requirements, as well as addressing obsolete and unnecessary ones."
IMO's work to support the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the associated Sustainable Development Goals was also stressed. "Because most of the elements of the 2030 Agenda will only be realized with a sustainable transport sector supporting world trade and facilitating the global economy, aspects of IMO's work can be linked to almost all of the individual SDGs," Mr. Lim said.
Mr. Lim concluded by referring to the forthcoming anniversary in 2018, marking 70 years since the Convention establishing IMO was adopted in March 1948. "The theme we have selected for next year – "Our heritage – better shipping for a better future" – looks both at the past and into the next 70 years that lie ahead. It provides an opportunity to reflect and showcase how IMO has adapted over the years as a crucial player to the global supply chain," he said.
The Rt Hon Mr. John Hayes CBE MP, Minister of State for Transport Legislation and Maritime of the United Kingdom Government, also welcomed delegates to the Assembly, as the representative of the Host State.
The outgoing President of the Assembly, Mr. Federico Trillo-Figueroa y Martínez-Conde, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Spain to the United Kingdom and Permanent Representative of Spain to IMO, and the incoming President, His Excellency Mr. Rolando Drago Rodríguez, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary and Permanent Representative of Chile to IMO, also addressed the Assembly.
The Assembly elected the following officers:
Assembly President
His Excellency Mr. Rolando Drago Rodríguez, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary and Permanent Representative of Chile to IMO.
Vice-Presidents
1st Vice-President: His Excellency Mr. Euripides L. Evriviades, High Commissioner and Permanent Representative of Cyprus to IMO; and
2nd Vice-President: Her Excellency Ms. Tamar Beruchashvili, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary and Permanent Representative of Georgia to IMO.
IMO Assembly
The 30th Assembly of IMO is meeting in London at IMO Headquarters from 27 November to 6 December 2017. More than 1,500 delegates from IMO Member States, international governmental and non-governmental organizations have registered to attend the Assembly, IMO's highest governing body.
All 172 Member States and three Associate Members are entitled to attend, as are the intergovernmental organizations with which agreements of co-operation have been concluded, and non-governmental organizations in consultative status with IMO.
The Assembly normally meets once every two years in regular session. It is responsible for approving the work programme, voting the budget and determining the financial arrangements of the Organization. It also elects the Council.

Happy Sunday! Life has been busy as always, but it has also been full of good things. I think I get more and more seasonally affected as I get older. I can't believe how happy spring weather is making me!
Being able to get out into the woods in a t-shirt and feel the warm sun has been so powerful. We did have a pretty crazy snow storm this week, but a couple days of 60 degree weather was all I needed to get through it with a good attitude.
Yesterday was Casper's eight birthday. I started this blog when he was less than a year old, so his age always tends to show me how far things have come.
I realized I also never gave an update on our dairy free experiment. As it turns out Cas feels much better when he's not eating dairy, so we've been trying to accommodate that lately. I was able to make him a dairy free cake and find foods that he would still enjoy, so I think it was a good birthday overall.
I taught a class this last week at my local food co-op all about pesto! It is always fun meeting new people and getting to talk about things I'm passionate about.
The students made some amazing pesto and I seriously applaud them for leaving the house in the middle of thundersnow. If you're local, let me know what kinds of classes you might like to see in the future and I'll try make it work!

Hiking Backpack – I also think I want to be a long distance hiking person??! I don't know how to fit this into my lifestyle, but it probably starts with a backpack and some day hikes. Currently obsessed with following Nicole Antoinette and trail buddy Gent on their PCT hike!
I finished the second season of The OA and it was… weird. But good? I think. For the most part I knew what was in Hap's locked room, but wasn't disappointed by it. Overall I like a good mystery and that show is certainly full of them.
Also – Game of Thrones is back tonight! Obviously I've been looking forward to this. Let me know if you'll be making any of my Game of Thrones food, I still have one or two to share with you in the coming weeks.


Putting my ideas out there, one pixel at a time.
People working at the University of Chicago are trying to figure out who sent a mysterious package containing a notebook used by Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
The package was addressed to a 'Henry Walton Jones Jr' and was recieved by the admissions department at the University. However, nobody under that name works at the University of Chicago. Authorities did find the connection however, as it is the name of the fictional archaeologist and adventurers given name.
Found in the package was a replicate of the journal used by his mentor, University Professor Abner Ravenwood, but without an explanation.
The mystery carries on, as the University still hasn't figured out who sent this strange package, and how they got hold of this elaborate item.

Children from Dunseverick Primary School join Liz Weir and staff at the Giant's Causeway for the launch of the new Children's Guidebook. The guidebook takes pupils on a fun and interactive journey through 250 million years of history where they learn about battling giants, clashing continents, spewing lava and the wonderful wildlife that call the Causeway home.
The National Trust, Northern Ireland's leading conservation charity has just launched a new 32 paged guidebook for children which aims to tell them all they need to know about the Giant's Causeway, one of Northern Ireland's most treasured and well-loved landmarks.
Pupils from Dunseverick Primary School were invited to the site to find out more about the new children's guidebook, titled 'Giant's Causeway, Nature Rocks'.
Commenting on the new children's guidebook, Ciara McClements, visitor experience manager at the Giant's Causeway and Carrick-a-Rede, said: "We're delighted to offer our little explorers this unique and imaginative guide book which is packed full of fascinating facts, fun things to do and clues about the earth's history.
"We are passionate about this place and we love telling people what makes it so special.


So a certain package from an off-shore pharmacy arrived in the mail today — but since it was sent registered mail I need to pick it up at the Post Office.
I'd always intended them merely as a diagnostic test — I've got an appointment scheduled for mid-April to do things the official, safe and sane way.
But just ordering them seems have turned out to be it's own diagnostic test. When I saw the notice in my mailbox, I wanted them. I really wanted them. Which definitely seems to indicate something.
What happens tomorrow? Not sure.

Twenty-five year hunt uncovers heart defect responsible for cardiovascular diseases
by Cardiff University
The landmark discovery of a tiny defect in a vital heart protein has for the first time enabled heart specialists to accurately pinpoint a therapeutic target for future efforts in developing a drug-based cure for cardiovascular diseases.
Scientists from Cardiff University and the Slovak Academy of Science have identified defects in a colossal heart protein which often leads to stroke and heart failure.
"Our research has revealed that a genetic alteration in the largest membrane protein, responsible for triggering each and every heartbeat, produces a small structural defect that alters the rhythm of the heart," said Professor Tony Lai from the Sir Geraint Evans Wales Heart Research Institute (WHRI) at Cardiff University School of Medicine.
The protein, known as the Ryanodine Receptor (RyR), provides the pulse of calcium release that is required for each heart muscle cell to contract. Scientists found that inherited mutations in this protein produce a subtle change in the pattern of calcium release, which results in an unstable heartbeat that leads to dramatic loss of rhythm and sudden death.
"For the first time we have been able to obtain a precise molecular picture of this tiny defect. This new insight into the RyR protein's intricate structure and function will assist in the development of novel therapeutic drugs that corrects this molecular defect. We now need to begin screening people for this genetic flaw, so that steps can be taken to offset their chances of developing heart disease."
For Professor Lai, who was raised in Newport, the discovery is the culmination of over two decades of research. In 1988, while working as a junior researcher with a team in the USA, Professor Lai beat researchers from the world over in the race to discover the RyR protein.
The breakthrough discovery earned him job offers from a number of elite institutions and he was eventually drawn back to his native South Wales where he landed a post in Cardiff University and forged a career in the WHRI, specialising in heart-based calcium signalling.
Professor Lai added: "The RyR protein is so fundamental to heart function. Just like in a car, if the thread of an engine valve is altered it will continue to keep going, but it may be only a matter of time before it blows and gives up - and that's the same for people who carry this defect. In people, it would take some kind of physical exertion or emotional trauma to trigger a cardiac crisis, which could lead to stroke, heart attack or sudden death."
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a term which encompasses all the diseases of the heart and circulation, including coronary heart disease (angina and heart attack), heart failure, congenital heart disease and stroke.
In 2011, almost 160,000 people in the UK died from CVD.
Scientists solve sudden cardiac death mystery

Language Access Executive Order: Thank You Steve Bellone!
County Executive Steve Bellone has signed an executive order ensuring free translation and interpretation to limited-English proficient (LEP) residents of Suffolk County in their interactions with county agencies.
This is a massive civil rights victory for Suffolk County, and we applaud County Executive Bellone for showing tremendous leadership on this issue! Please sign the petition to say thank you!
Provide the County Executive's office with annual reports detailing their compliance with the Executive Order.
The order also prohibits county agencies from 1) considering use of language access services to be a basis for inquiring about confidential information, including immigration status, and 2) inquiring about or sharing confidential information, including immigration status. This final provision will have implications far beyond language access in beginning to renew the trust between immigrants and county agencies, especially the police.
This action is the direct result of a coordinated campaign by the Long Island Civic Engagement Table, the Long Island Language Advocates Coalition, Make the Road New York, New York Lawyers for the Public Interest, the Long Island Immigrant Alliance, the Center for Popular Democracy, SEPA Mujer, the Empire Justice Center, and New York Communities for Change. Together, we showed how active community members, effective organizers, and responsible leaders can work together to make our county a safe and welcoming place for immigrants and LEP residents.
This makes Suffolk County one of the first suburban US counties to implement such a policy. After years of anti-immigrant politics in Suffolk County, this historic victory opens up the doors of government to all, regardless of their primary language or country of origin.
Please take a moment to sign the online petition to thank County Executive Bellone for his leadership! Change takes courage, and we must celebrate elected officials when they stand up for the rights and needs of immigrants everywhere. So, please sign the petition!
I applaud you for signing a historic executive order to guarantee language access services for limited-English proficient (LEP) residents of Suffolk County. For too long, LEP residents have struggled to communicate with county government officials--whether in precincts, county health centers, or social service offices. I am thrilled that you are taking leadership on this critical equal rights issue and ensuring that Suffolk County government works for all of its residents. Thank you for taking this important step towards making Suffolk County a better place for all its residents, regardless of the language they speak or the country from which they hail.
58 Days 'Til Voter Registration Deadline--Join Us Tuesday!
Thanks to the work of many fabulous fellows, interns, and volunteers like you, we've completed over 1600 voter registrations complete--taking us half of the way to our voter registration goal!
But there are only 58 days left until the voter registration deadline, so we need your help to reach the finish line and ensure that members of our communities can vote in November!
Meet Our Movement Building Team!
The voter registrations keep pouring in--our amazing team of Movement Building Fellows and interns has now registered over 1,200 voters in a matter of weeks! Who are these rising stars, you ask?
Below are biographies (and fun facts) for the emerging leaders who've been working with us as part of our Movement Building Fellowship Program, a five-month program for Long Island residents interested in community and electoral organizing to increase the participation of immigrants, African-Americans, and Latinos in the American democratic process.
Friends, check out our new press packet, which highlights selected press coverage since late 2011. We hope you enjoy!
We've Registered over 1,000 Voters--now help us get the next thousand!
Two pieces of great news!
First, after registering 124 voters at the amazing Puerto Rican / Hispanic Day Parade, the Long Island Civic Engagement Table's fabulous team of Movement Building fellows and volunteers has now registered over 1,000 voters since early June! We want to extend a special thanks to all those remarkable people who have come out to help us register people in their community and increase participation among working-class people of color on Long Island.
Join us for Tuesday's Voter Registration Training!
This year is an enormously important election year—both at the state and federal level. But too many people in our communities remain disengaged from the political process. Our challenge: registering and mobilizing thousands of voters to make our communities' voices heard.
But what's the most effective way to register voters? And how can we develop enough people power to register thousands of people in our communities? And how can we build a strong enough team to be successful?
We're holding a two-part training (June 12th and June 19th) will help you answer all of these critical questions.
Thank you so much to everyone who came out and volunteered their time to join our Get Out the Vote efforts for the Brentwood school board elections!
The election results are now in, and the winners were Gail Kirkham, Keith Allison, and Ana Martinez. Though our work is strictly non-partisan, it bears mention that, for the first time, a majority of the Brentwood school board will now be people of color. To read more about the election, click here for Long Island Wins' coverage.
Thanks again to everyone who joined to help Get Out the Vote!
Brentwood school board incumbent Gail Kirkham and newcomers Ana Martinez and Keith Allison told roughly 140 people at a public board of education candidates' forum [co-hosted by the Long Island Civic Engagement Table] Wednesday night that they are running as a slate partly because they want a change in leadership that better embraces Brentwood's diverse population.
150 strong at School Board Candidate Forum!
What a show of community support last night! As part of our efforts to mobilize Brentwood residents around the upcoming school board elections, we held a candidate forum that focused on issues of diversity, school finances, and the school environment. With wonderful community representatives sharing the stage with the candidates and asking excellent questions, and a remarkable 150 people in attendance, the event was a huge hit!
Check out photos of last night's big event here!
Election season in Brentwood is heating up! In only a few short weeks, the largest school district on Long Island will be electing its school board. But, all too often, communities of color have been ignored in this district, despite being the majority of the population.
Al menos quince organizaciones de jóvenes y grupos comunitarios lanzaron en Nueva York una masiva campaña para registrar votantes de cara a las elecciones presidenciales de noviembre en la que el voto latino podría ser decisivo.
"Este es el comienzo de una larga campaña para asegurar que nuestras comunidades expresen su poder en las elecciones de 2012", dijo Daniel Altschuler, coordinador de la Mesa de Participación Cívica de Long Island (LICET), una coalición de organizaciones no partidistas que defiende los derechos civiles.
Several dozen advocates and volunteers from minority community groups launched an effort to register more blacks and Hispanics to vote at a Brentwood gathering on Thursday, where many said the only way their communities will earn respect is by turning out to the ballots.
Among the key issues where they would like to see local officials, legislators and national candidates be more responsive are increasing the minimum wage, passing immigration reform that would help the undocumented and help low-income families facing foreclosure, they said.
Newsday Video of Voter Registration Launch!
Thanks so much to all who joined us for our voter registration launch. Check out Newsday's excellent video coverage!
Join Thursday's Voter Registration Campaign Launch!
We'd love to have you join for Thursday's event, where we will be launching our coordinated voter registration campaign--various local groups will join together to register voters in downtown Brentwood and highlight their efforts at a press conference. Click here for details and to RSVP!
What: Press Conference of youth, labor, and community organizations of color to register voters in support of access to education and fair wages for all. Following the press conference, groups will register voters on the streets of Brentwood—video / photo opportunities available.
Where: Ross Park, Brentwood (on Brentwood Road, just south of Suffolk Ave. / County Road 100). Parking available in adjacent parking lot.
On Thursday, April 12, youth, labor, and community organizations will join together to launch a coordinated voter registration campaign to raise their communities' voices in advance of the 2012 elections. Focused on the need for improved access to education and fair wages, these organizations will announce their voter registration efforts and begin to register voters in downtown Brentwood.
With important legislative proposals like the DREAM Actand a minimum wage increase currently being debated in Albany, these organizations are coming together to support immigrant students' access to higher education and workers' right to a decent wage. By registering voters in communities like Brentwood, these organizations will continue to build the power necessary to win progressive change on these issues and to ensure political representation that better reflects the needs of people of color.
Thursday's event, organized by the Long Island Civic Engagement Table, will feature speakers from various organizations, including Make the Road New York, New York Communities for Change, the Long Island Immigrant Alliance, the Central American Refugee Center (CARECEN), NAACP, Youth Enrichment Services, Local 1102, and SEPA Mujer (Services for the Advancement of Women).
The Long Island Civic Engagement Table (LICET) seeks to transform the culture of civic participation and government accountability on Long Island. LICET does this by nurturing grassroots participation and leadership in working-class communities of color. LICET, led by Make the Road New York, New York Communities for Change, the Long Island Immigrant Alliance, and CARECEN, seeks to work with these communities to turn the tide of anti-working class and anti-immigrant politics and build a common platform for low-income people.
Support New York DREAM Legislation!
Support New York DREAM legislation for equal access to higher education!
Several core LICET members--Make the Road New York, Long Island Immigrant Alliance, and the Central American Refugee Center--are working on passing the NY DREAM Legislation, which would provide undocumented students financial resources to attend a college or university of their choice. The NY DREAM Act would provide state aid know as Tuition Assistance Program and the DREAM Fund would provide money from the private sector both bills are for higher education.
Community leaders gathered in Brentwood today to call for Gov. Andrew Cuomo to veto proposed district maps that would fracture the voting power of black, Latino, and immigrant residents on Long Island.
Representatives from groups like the NAACP, Make the Road New York, and 1199 SEIU United Healthcare Workers East gathered symbolically along a district line that would cut through the Brentwood community, demanding that the governor reject gerrymandered district maps.
What is New York's legislative task force on redistricting hiding?
LATFOR, as it's known, delayed releasing its draft state legislative maps until late January, compressing the time for public review. It then held the first hearing only two business days later.
LATFOR still hasn't released drafts of the state's new congressional districts, and it has again delayed releasing revised maps for the Legislature.
LATFOR's dawdling gives opponents less time to respond. It amounts to an intentional effort by legislators from both parties to force problematic maps down our throats.
Despite having vowed to veto unduly partisan state district district lines, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo made a deal with legislators in Albany on Wednesday night, agreeing to permit the existing gerrymandered lines if legislators backed a constitutional amendment that would create a bipartisan redistricting commission after the 2020 census.
A bipartisan commission, however, isn't the same as a non-partisan commission, and as long as legislators have significant influence on the redistricting process, now or in a decade, district lines will be geared toward preserving incumbents. Long before election day, politicians in Albany will have decided who will represent you. Amendment or not, that won't change.

FIRST VOLUME SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. One of the best-loved and most highly regarded children's sequences of the late twentieth century, Susan Cooper's pentalogy was first published between 1965 and 1977. Here each volume benefits from a new preface by the author. COMPLETE SETS ARE EXTREMELY SCARCE; SIGNED COPIES THE MORE SO.
On holiday in Cornwall, the three Drew children discover an ancient map in the attic of the house that they are staying in. They know immediately that it is special. It is even more than that -- the key to finding a grail, a source of power to fight the forces of evil known as the Dark. And in searching for it themselves, the Drews put their very lives in peril. This is the first volume of Susan Cooper's brilliant and absorbing fantasy sequence known as The Dark Is Rising.
On Jan 16 2014, a reader said:
This is a sort of love story, but not exactly. It tells us about a Princess whose father has been kicked out of his kingdom and adopted by the US. The girl starts out very socially conscious. Then she meets her true love at a conference in Maui, and everything else goes by the wayside. This true love is not a criminal, as he explains to her, but an outlaw. Due to the efforts of a CIA spy, he is thrown in prison for a couple of years. The princess decides to put herself in solitary confinement, just like her lover, and retires to the attic with a cot, a chamber pot, and a pack of camel cigarettes, which she doesn't smoke. As the word gets out that she is doing this, there are a lot of copy cats, and her lover, in irritation, writes her a nasty letter about it. This has the effect of making her decide she is no longer in love with him, and she makes the choice to marry an Arab King instead. Meanwhile, her study of the Camel pack has convinced her that she must know more about the effects of pyramids, so she has the King build her one as a wedding present. The King, no dummy, alerts all other Arab countries that her lover is a bad guy, to be shot on sight. For a while it appears that the Woodpecker (her lover) has been caught and killed. Then, on the night before her wedding, while she is checking out the newly finished pyramid, the Woodpecker appears alive. She is overjoyed, and her fiancé sees her hugging her former lover in the pyramid; so he locks them in and explains to the world that she has been kidnapped by a terrorist gang. Luckily, the cake and champagne for her wedding the next day was already in place, and they subsist on this for about a month. Then the Princess decides to use her lover's dynamite (which he is never without) to blow open the door, assuming this will kill them both.
This book enlightens us on a number of fronts: we learn the difference between a criminal and an outlaw; we examine the conflict between social activism and romantic individualism; and we learn a lot about the problem of redheads and the pyramids. Meanwhile, we flirt briefly with feminism, ecology, racism, and a lot of other "isms". Robbins is always unique in his combination of philosophy and comedy.

The Brief: EU declares a climate emergency
By Jack Parrock • last updated: 30/11/2019
Europe has declared a climate emergency.
After a vote of 429 MEPs in favour and 225 against, Europe became the first continent to make this declaration.
This comes after the worldwide movement of youth climate protests demanding politicians take more action. The motion tabled by the Renew Europe group calls on governments to ensure all relevant new laws and budget proposals are fully aligned with the target of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
"It's about declaring a state of emergency, I would say in terms of climate and environment, but also to act accordingly, to take very concrete actions in line with this emergency. So it's not only declaring emergency it's also acting, taking the right political decisions, having this mindset," French MEP Pascal Canfin said.
During the debate in Strasbourg, some members brought up the environmental impact of the Parliament's monthly routine of everyone travelling from Brussels. The travel alone is estimated to produce 19,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
However, reducing its carbon footprint won't be easy for all EU member states. Some countries like Poland are still heavily reliant on coal - and while the motion is calling for a 55 per cent reduction in carbon emissions - green groups say it's still not enough.
"The 55 per cent target that the European Parliament and a number of governments are calling for is not yet in line with the 2ºC target. For Greenpeace and other environmental groups, this target needs to be ramped up to 65 per cent. This is what climate action looks like," said Sebastian Mang, the climate policy advisor at Greenpeace EU.
The incoming European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has made a so-called New Green Deal her flagship policy as they take up their mandate from December the first.
And other news in brief:
The European Parliament has called on the EU to accede to the Convention on preventing and combating violence against women, also known as the Istanbul Convention.
The non-legislative resolution was adopted by 500 votes in favour and 91 against.
It calls on the Council to urgently conclude the EU ratification of the Convention.
It also urges the seven member states that have signed but not yet ratified it to do so without delay.

Brighton losses increase in season club reach Premier League
From the section Brighton
Tony Bloom has been chairman of Brighton since 2009
Brighton and Hove Albion's losses increased by £13.1m in the season they were promoted to the Premier League.
Losses rose from £25.8m to £38.9m in 2016-17 - including an additional £7.7m investment in the club's playing squad and "other football costs".
However, chairman Tony Bloom says securing a place in the top flight has boosted the club's turnover by around £100m for the current campaign.
"The finances of the club were changed virtually overnight," said Bloom.
"What is important is that all investments are made sensibly and very much with the club's long-term future at heart.
"As such, we have a clear financial structure that we work very hard to maintain with a view to the short, medium and longer term."
Last season in the Championship, the Seagulls witnessed an increase in turnover of £4.5m and rise in administration and operational costs of £1.3m.
However, the club's overall profit before football costs and depreciation increased by £3.2m to £15.6m.
In a statement, Bloom added: "We made our most significant step in terms of progressing the club during the 2016/17 season.
"There was never a guarantee we would make that final step, but now having made it, we will be doing all we can to stay in the Premier League this season - with a longer term aim of establishing ourselves at the top level."

the scope of pedro gerales' 'POC ermida' is part of the conception of an industrial facility for a global energy company EDP, to act as a base for the observation and control of a dam in case of emergency.
the scope of pedro gerales' 'POC ermida' is part of the conception of an industrial facility for a global energy company EDP, to act as a base for the observation and control of a dam in case of emergency. located in ermida, portugal's midlands, an area defined by a beautiful course of water and surrounded by a large forest, this contemporary industrial building aims to reinterpret traditional constructions, honor the location's name and respect the materiality of the architectural history at the company.
the building needed to stay in an elevated location, protected from floods and allowing a perfect view from its interior to the dam — this made the interventions n the landscape necessary, resulting in an elevated level platform and vehicle access leading to the entrance of the building.
the concrete appears as a continuous shell – skin and skeleton – that serves as walls and roof, as well as finishing and waterproofing material. in between, covering both the front and rear facades, other materials such as aluminum and glass emerge — the entrance is totally opaque in aluminum, with the exception of two glazed doors, while the rear facade entirely made of glass oversees the da, except for the area where ventilation was required.


The end of the year, and especially the holiday season, is a powerful time to reflect on the last 365 days. There's just so much to recognize and be thankful for. More often than not, what we're most #GratefulFor are the people, opportunities, places, and emotions that enrich our lives every day.
Our Ambassadors lead the Athleta community in sharing what they're giving gratitude to this season.
What's got you bursting with appreciation? Join us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Athleta), Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/athleta/), and Twitter (https://twitter.com/Athleta) to share what you're #GratefulFor.
I love today's blog post! Way to go Athleta! It is fun to see familiar faces of Bay Area ambassadors along with getting to see who the other ambassadors are from other regions! As the year wraps up, thank you for sharing this wide array of things we can be grateful for! Thank you for always being a platform that showcases women's shared experiences and values.
Enjoyed reading through each of these! Athleta truly has the BEST ambassadors; I am so honored to be apart.
Love thes responses so inspiring!!


A talking story on audio cassette to accompany the adult beginner reader Weeding Cane.
Weeding Cane is a story that really does work on many levels. Everything is a metaphor for something and it is presented with the kind of intelligent, earthy domestic poetry that very few writers manage.


Relationship and sexual satisfaction, sexual functioning, and sexual desire were examined in an Internet sample of 32 individuals reporting engagement of sexual behavior during sleep (i.e., sexsomnia). Individuals with sexsomnia reported lower levels of sexual satisfaction, lower levels of relationship satisfaction, and similar levels of sexual desire compared with controls. More frequent incidence of sexsomnia resulted in lower sexual satisfaction; however, frequency was not found to impact relationship satisfaction or level of sexual desire. Individuals with sexsomnia reported high instances of sexual problems with 81% reporting at least one problem.

Translation of a biomarker panel for the early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma
Anand S Mehta
PAR-18-530
For more information, see NIH RePORTER Project 5R01CA237659-04
Research Group(s)
This application proposes to translate our identification of a biomarker panel for hepatocellular carcinoma to commercial and clinical use. We have identified a specific post-translation modification that is altered in HCC. This alteration is a shift in the composition of N-linked glycans found on proteins made in and secreted by HCC cells. Many of the proteins containing this glycan alteration have been identified and patented. Our strong preliminary evidence has shown that some of these proteins, when combined with existing biomarkers and clinical factors, have excellent discriminatory ability between those with HCC and those with cirrhosis. Importantly, our biomarker efforts have focused on the detection of early stage lesions using our current biomarker panel, which is a simple logistic regression algorithm composed of fucosylated kininogen, alphafetoprotein (AFP), alkaline phosphatase (ALK), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), age and gender. Called the kininogen panel, it had an area under the receiver operator curve (AUROC) of 0.97 for the differentiation of early stage HCC from cirrhosis. In an independent external validation of this panel, in three independent cohorts this panel had an AUROC of 0.92 to 0.97 in the detection of early stage HCC. Thus our enthusiasm for this biomarker panel is high. To fully understand the clinical and commercial benefits of any biomarker, a large scale clinical validation study that is appropriate powered is essential. Hence, the two goals of this application are to validate the kininogen panel for the detection of early stage HCC at the time of HCC diagnosis (Aim 1) and determine when in time an individual becomes biomarker positive prior to developing HCC (Aim 2). At the completion of these two aims, Glycotest will have validated this biomarker panel and have confidence in its performance. Glycotest's strategy is focused on commercialization of its tests as Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) service products. These tests will be marketed to and ordered by specialists who care for the patient populations at risk for liver cancers and fibrosis-cirrhosis. LDTs are tests developed and run in a single "CLIA lab" regulated by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) through the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA). The LDT business model has been used successfully by many other US companies that have commercialized tests as service products in multiple disease areas. The Company will establish an internal selling and marketing capability focused initially on major influential medical centers and key opinion leader sites as well as the west coast and east coast geographical areas, and will pursue a strategy for establishing Medicare reimbursement that it has developed in collaboration with external experts.


EECON1.WR = 1; //..begins the write..
WriteEEdata(0x05, (MyAddress>>8) & 0xff); //..this write hangs waiting for WR bit.
Here are some other interesting facts: I detect the fact that it hangs in the while loop by writing to an unused output pin before and after the loop. Even when it hangs, post mortem reading of data EEPROM through MPLAB confirms that both writes to addresses 0x04 and 0x05 were effective. If I add a time-wasting for loop between the two calls to WriteEEdata, then there are no hang-ups. This WriteEEdata function I have used successfully on previous projects.
What if you don't enable interrupts during the write?
jtemples wrote: What if you don't enable interrupts during the write?
PIE1.TXIE = 1; //..in case we got here because of some other interrupt..
PeriodDelta16 = CCPR1 - PrevCCPR1; //..Every 256 x 16 oscillations.
} //..end of CCP capture interrupt..
//PIE1.RCIE = 1; //..THIS KILLS IT.
When I uncomment the PIE1.RCIE = 1, the second call to WriteEEdata hangs as before. And I know what might be causing that RC interrupt. The serial command that kicked off this write to EEPROM was sent from a terminal program that sends both a CR and the LF when I hit Enter. The PIC parses the CR as the command termination and begins the write to EEPROM. But the LF arrives shortly after (at 2400 baud). My ISR is supposed to discard characters that are not part of its protocol, so I don't know why an extra LF arriving should cause any problem to the WriteEEdata.
I don't know, but when I saw you were using CCS, my first thought was "compiler bug". Maybe something in the ISR context save/restore.
That was it. Careful examination of the compiler listing file showed that the beginning of the ISR did not set the bank select register, but just assumed it was 0. Therefore the first instruction, which was a test for PIR1.RCIF, was actually testing EEADRL.5, which just happened to always be 0. Therefore the ISR did not read RCREG, and the RCIF interrupt bit was not cleared, so when the ISR returned, it did an immediate interrupt, so the code would be perpetually interrupting, and the main program would hang.
My work-around was to insert an assembly-language "MOVLB 0" instruction at the top of the ISR. Now the EEPROM writes work just fine without hang-ups.
Any particular reason you're using CCS?
ric wrote: Any particular reason you're using CCS?
I've used the CCS compiler for many years and I am comfortable with it.
Not forcing bank 0 at the start of the ISR sounds like a pretty major bug, which I would have thought would have tripped up many people by now.
I wonder if it normally does it, but something unusual in your code made it think it didn't need to.
I'm guessing that when they extended the compiler to handle the 16F1xxx chips, they just removed the context saving code, which included selecting bank 0.
That would mean this bug would only occur on chips which have built in shadow registers.
The reason that others probably have not run into this bug is that most CCS users let the compiler handle the interrupt vectoring, supplying just the peripheral-specific ISRs as separate functions. This also ensures a more complete context saving and restoring. When the user writes his own #INT_GLOBAL, he takes full responsibility for all of that, which scares most people away from doing it. The reason I do it is because I have always liked having complete control of things like the exact sequence in which the various interrupts are serviced, especially if two different interrupts are functionally related, like a CCP capture interrupt and a Timer1 overflow interrupt for generating 32-bit captures. But I am an odd duck in this regard.

Between 1999 and 2000 he was the chair in the Sub-Committee on Child Abuse in Peacetime for the International Working Group on Trauma, United Nations.

In 2005, Wolfe received the Donald O. Hebb Award for Distinguished Contributions to Psychology as a Science from the Canadian Psychological Association. He was also presented with the 2007 Blanche L. Ittleson Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Delivery of Children's Services and the Promotion of Children's Mental Health from the American Orthopsychiatric Association. His recent books include Adolescent Risk Behaviors: Why teens experiment and strategies to keep them safe (with P. Jaffe & C. Crooks; Yale University Press, 2006); Child abuse: Implications for child development and psychopathology, 2nd Edition (Sage, 1999); and Abnormal Child Psychology, 4th edition (with E. Mash; Wadsworth, 2009).

Wolfe is a founding member of the Center for Research & Education on Violence Against Women and Children at the University of Western Ontario, where he and colleague Peter Jaffe coined the term "Children of Battered Women" and "Children Exposed to Domestic Violence", now used widely within the mental health and justice systems. He recently published an updated book in this area (with P.Jaffe and M. Campbell -  Growing Up with Domestic Violence: Assessment, Intervention & Prevention Strategies for Children & Adolescents).

His expertise in the field of child and adolescent psychology has led him to testify as an expert, in multiple cases; including the high-profile case of sexual abuse at Mount Cashel Orphan age in Newfoundland run by The Christian Brothers of Ireland in Canada. Wolfe also provided expert evidence into the Cornwall Public Inquiry into historical sexual abuse in that community. He is cited extensively by Judge Normand Glaude in the inquiry report as one of the leading experts in child sexual abuse.

Studies and projects
Wolfe's main interest lies in violence prevention among youth and families, based on his research with colleagues demonstrating the harmful impact of multiple forms of abuse on children, including exposure to domestic violence.

Wolfe's interest in violence prevention has culminated into a comprehensive school-based initiative for reducing violence amongst adolescents and related risk behaviors, known as "The Fourth R: Skills for Youth Relationships."
It has recently been identified as a top evidence-based program for school-based violence prevention by the New Jersey-based Robert Wood Johnson Foundation where it is being implemented in several US sites as a part of their Start Strong violence-prevention initiative

An evaluation of "The Fourth R" program found that teaching youths about healthy relationships as part of their required health curriculum reduced physical dating violence and increased condom use 2.5 years later at a low per-student cost. A discussion of the program can be heard in a podcast interview conducted by the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault and Peace Talks radio The Public Health Agency of Canada has evaluated "The Fourth R" program and included it in the Canadian Best Practices Portal.

Talk:Beverly Sportsinterviews
I think that Beverly is either Lem's wife, sister, or daughter.
Or mother, aunt, or cousin. There's no way of knowing.
[edit] what?
Just because she has the same first name as Beverly Cleary, does that really make her modeled after her? I think its just a coinc-a-dink. — talk Bubsty edits 00:40, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
This was STUFFed and accepted. See Talk:origins. Homestar Coder 02:04, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
Strangely, this is not on the talk page for that email. Why not? Was it really STUFFed? If so, where is the STUFF listing? I too am curious as to why this is an accepted reference.
I noticed that too. What in the name of Pete Sampras is going on here? — Has Matt? (talk) 01:17, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Further tales of the city
Last Thursday, I had the privilege of seeing the new Tales of the City musical at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. I say "privilege," even though anyone can buy tickets and go. I guess I had the privilege of not paying for my seat! I really enjoyed the show: it was a little slow to start, but once it picked up, I started to really enjoy the book, the score, and the way a series very dear to me had been translated into a theatrical production. But that last bit proved to be troublesome, too—as with all adaptations, I started to fixate on what was missing.
As I said in my first blog post, I won't be writing many reviews here, and this post isn't really a reflection on the quality of Tales of the City. You should go see the show. It's fun, it's creative, and it's one of the gayest, '70s-est musicals I've seen. If my fannish complaints/observations will in any way dissuade you from seeing it, please don't read the rest of this post. That's right, I'm giving you express permission to skip something I've written. It won't happen again.
Tales of the City is an interesting choice for a musical. In a lot of ways, it makes sense, but there's also a ton of ground to cover. The new show incorporates elements of the first book and its sequel, More Tales of the City, cutting out some plot points and characters but still managing to squeeze in a whole lot. And that's fine: I didn't expect the musical to go over every detail in the books, because a fuckton happens, you guys. Let's not forget that Tales of the City and More Tales of the City were previously adapted into TV miniseries. And no one wants to sit through a 10-hour musical.
Still, I couldn't help but reflect on what was missing. How could I not when I have such a fondness for Armistead Maupin's novels? And perhaps more distractingly, I kept thinking about what happens next. The first two Tales books are arguably the best, but the story continues long past that. There are four more novels in the series proper and two later installments, including the recently released Mary Ann in Autumn. (Which, incidentally, ties up a loose end from the very first book.) You can't adapt the first part of a series and not expect fans to start imagining the rest. The musical is very good in its right, but seeing it, my mind was working overtime.
Sitting in the audience, I began to mentally plot out the arcs and trajectories of every character on stage. Maupin's universe is so dense and intricate that I couldn't stop myself. (Minor spoiler ahead.) At one point, I remember thinking that DeDe's daughter Anna (just a fetus in Tales of the City) would eventually grow up and make an appearance in Maupin's novel The Night Listener, later adapted into a movie with Sandra Oh playing Anna. This is completely irrelevant to the stage adaptation of Tales of the City, but I don't know how to turn these thoughts off. I wouldn't say it took away from the show, though I am glad I'll be seeing it again later this month. Maybe I'll give myself a light but effective bump on the head first.
If anything dampened my joy, it was knowing where all these characters would end up. (Vague spoilers ahead, so just read the damn books already.) The musical ends on a bittersweet note, but there is a finality to it. You see how these stories could continue, but you're not exactly left with a cliffhanger. The books, too, are self-contained—though if you've read them all, they do start to blur together a bit. Believe it or not, I watched Tales of the City at times with a sense of dread, because I could envision the break-ups and illnesses and deaths to follow. I saw the specters of Jonestown and AIDS, even when they should have been little more than blips on the radar.
And maybe it's not even about the musical, which is—all things considered—an excellent adaptation of Maupin's work. It's the fact that I can never go back and read the books with a clean slate. I know too much already, and that's kind of a bummer. (For the record, I rarely feel like I know too much about anything, so it's also a little exciting!) I envy those who can see the Tales of the City musical without knowing how everything will eventually turn out, just as I envy those who can pick up the books and enter that world for the first time. I guess I know what I'd use that Eternal Sunshine technology for if it were suddenly invented.
Yes, I would erase books over a relationship. I'm a pretty cool guy, OK?

Q: Can two linux pc's can be use as one signle screen Can two linux pc can be use as one signle screen (half in first pc and second half in another pc).Basically can 2 pc's used to see a single movie at same time.

A: Your screen is controlled by your operating system. So there is no standard way to let on screen be shared by to different OS.
But if you manage a remote connection on your main OS to your seconds OS, for instance  by ssh, you can use them with one screen.
Visual tools like TeamViewer, VNC or the Remote Desktop protocol would also enable you to bring the output of a second system to your single monitor.

NYAM convenes leaders via a new workgroup on Women's Health Research and Well-being and summit on Maternal and Child Health Equity
/EIN News/ — New York, NY, Jan. 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Building on its 173-year history of advancing medicine, science and public health, The New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM) has announced its convening of NYC and national experts to advance research and policy change for maternal and child health equity. NYAM recently launched a 13-member Women's Health Research & Well-being Workgroup, and on January 12, 2021 will host a virtual Maternal and Child Health Equity Summit in partnership with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
"A critical element to achieving health equity begins with improving maternal health outcomes and eliminating the unacceptable inequities that persist for women of color," said NYAM President Judith A. Salerno, MD, MS. "NYAM will leverage our longstanding role as a convener of cross-institution discourse, collaboration and action to advance policy and systems change to improve the health of mothers everywhere."
The Women's Health Research & Well-being Workgroup and Maternal and Child Health Equity Summit will both bring together a broad and diverse group of experts from across the U.S. to support the dissemination of innovative research and advocate for fundamental policy changes at the state and federal level to achieve high-quality, equitable care for women and children. Another goal is to affect policies that support increased funding for maternal and child health research at the federal and state level.
The workgroup and summit are co-chaired by Danielle Laraque-Arena, MD, FAAP, Senior Scholar-in-Residence at NYAM and President Emerita of SUNY Upstate Medical University, and Elizabeth A. Howell, MD, MPP, Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine and former director of the Blavatnik Family Women's Health Research Institute at Mount Sinai. Dr. Laraque-Arena previously co-chaired the New York State Governor's Task Force on Maternal Mortality and Disparate Racial Outcomes (2018-2019).
"Our attention on maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity in Black, Brown and Indigenous birthing people and the adverse outcomes for their infants must be a city, state and national priority driven by the science that explicates and resolves inequities and tackles the root causes of these disparate outcomes and eventually eliminates adverse pregnancy-related outcomes for all women," said Dr. Laraque-Arena.
Dr. Howell is the principal investigator for recent quantitative and qualitative NIH-funded research on the contribution of quality of care to racial and ethnic disparities in severe maternal morbidity and in very preterm birth/very low birth weight morbidity and mortality, which will be disseminated at the summit on January 12.
"We are very excited to share our research findings and foster a robust discussion about quality of care and the experiences of Black and Brown pregnant people in New York City and beyond," said Dr. Howell. "We hope our discussion will lead to actionable steps to address the unacceptably high rates of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality among people of color."
The half-day event will also feature presentations, panels, and robust conversations with leading New York City and national health experts on maternal health, infant health, and the mom-baby dyad. Presenters include Karen Scott, MD, MPH, University of California San Francisco; Jeffrey D. Horbar, MD, Vermont Oxford Network; and Jennifer Zeitlin, DSc, French National Institute of Health and Medical Research. View the full agenda and speaker list here.
Following the summit, the interdisciplinary group consisting of workgroup members and planners of the summit will partner to develop an action agenda with a health policy focus toward reducing maternal mortality, severe maternal morbidity, and infant mortality and morbidity in Black, Brown and Indigenous birthing people.
In addition, the workgroup will apply a systems approach to improving care in three areas: maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity, maternal-child health outcomes, and lifecourse issues in women's health. The group's 13 founding members bring a wide range of expertise as leaders from Columbia School of Nursing, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, the New York State Health Foundation, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, NYU Rory Myers College of Nursing, Penn Medicine, SUNY Upstate Medical University, and University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

This week I found another video by VP Prepping & Survival. In it he talks about the 4 guns he would want to have (if he could only pick 4) in an SHTF scenario / zombie apocalypse.
In a worst-case scenario, you'll need some kind of semi-automatic firearm. You'll also want a small gun that's easy to conceal, a shotgun which is good for self defense and hunting, and a long-distance rifle so you can take out enemies before they get anywhere near you.
I have several different options available. However, for urban environments, I prefer an M4/AR-15 with red dot optic, Glock 19, Mossberg MVP Patrol Rifle in .308 and an 18″ barreled Remington 870 pump action shotgun.
Mine are well I guess what I have, tapco sks, red dot, 20 rnd mags, .30-06 bolt, Winchester sxp defender, and marlin papoose with scope, and all variaties of ammo and grains. And lots of ammo still not enough yet though.
7.62mm nato LMT AR10 clone with 20 inch barrel, long range and accurate enough, also plenty of ammo out there.
Ruger 1022 TDR or Henry arms AR7, concealable and quiet enough .22LR, both can be match lighters at 50 yards, plenty of ammo and the Ruger is threaded for a suppressor so less noise and flash at night.
Mossberg 500/590 12ga with 18″ and 28″ barrels or 20″ double barrel coach gun in 12ga, multi use and tougher than army boots, so much variety of ammo.
Can't really go wrong with a lot of these choices. My four guns that I have chosen are the M-4 16″ AR style rifle as my main gun, a Remington 870 shotgun with buckshot and optional slug ammo for longer precision shots, a Glock 21 45ACP handgun as a side arm because the larger size fits better in my larger hands but the same in 9 and 40 works too, and the Remington 700 in 308 for longer precision shots. These weapons are easy to maintain and repair and there are plenty of armorer's courses to take. Ammo availability is also important to me in case you have to bargain or hunt for surplus ammo. The ammo is easy to reload as well if you are up to a spare hobby. Whatever choice you make, become proficient with it and become confident in maintenance and repair of your weapon system.
You want a .22 rifle also!
Get an accurate 308 semi-auto battle rifle like an AR-10 or M1A and dump that SKS and Rem 700. The 223 is an ineffective cartridge at long range anyway. If you think that it is then go with an AR-15 in a long barrel varminter configuration and again forget that SKS and Rem 700 as the AR can perform both tasks equally well.
good economical choices, cartridge choices are good. one glaring omission…a 22 caliber either rifle or pistol. a battle rifle, centerfire side arm, shotgun are all good but I would have to place a good quality 22 caliber handgun or rifle over a 223 bolt rifle. my opinion.
