Luverne: The Great Depression, by L.A. Marsden
Luverne: The Great Depression
a true story by Lawrence A. Marsden
The Great Depression came to the farm lands quietly. No fan fare. No leaps from high buildings. Just a slow, plodding erosion in farm prices due to ever-increasing stores of grain and more and larger feeder lots bulging with cattle.
Our town was in the heart of the farm community. Main Street existed for the Saturday forays by the farm folk. Nelson's Department Store, the only one serving the 2,500 townspeople, could outfit you with denim overalls – the kind with the crossed suspenders in the back – with longjohn underwear and even the new and shocking BVDs (known to the locals as baby's ventilated diapers). And this was only the start. Whatever you needed you could find in that store, whether a dress for a wedding, a suit for Sundays, or shingles and red paint for the barn.
Out front Nelson's had benches on the sidewalk. While the women shopped, the menfolk would sit and discuss the things of real importance to them. A prime topic was always the weather. In all my growing years in Luverne, I never remember a season where the weather was "just right." It was always too wet or too dry, too hot or too cool. Corn should be knee-high by the Fourth of July. If it wasn't, alack! If it was, the grasshoppers would probably get it. In short, always prepare for the worst, because it is probably going to happen.
With this type of cultural climate, it is easy to see in retrospect why the thirties didn't cause panic in our area. There wasn't much money, but shucks1, there never had been. No one went hungry because every farm had its garden, and every home in town did, too. Each farm had a few head of milking cows, and on the Saturday visits each farmer would bring in any surplus to the cooperative creamery to swap for butter and cottage cheese. Come Fall and the advent of cold weather, each farm family would butcher a steer and a hog or two. Momma would busy herself canning stew beef to go with the beans, peas and corn already straining the pantry shelves. Poppa would salt and smoke hams and sides of bacon. No one – but absolutely no one – ever wanted for something to eat.
We did have a County Poor Farm, so named not because the land and buildings weren't good, but because a place was needed to house and feed the few indigents who had no place else to turn. The Farm was really a beauty. Located right on the ede of town, the house was a large frame building replete with the cupolos and ginerbread [woodwork] of the Victorian era. The base color was a pastel yellow trimmed in white. The outbuildings consisted of a dairy barn, a hog house, a chicken coop, a machine shed, a silo and a corn crib. Each person staying at the Farm had his or her share of work to do. They weren't accpetin charity; they were actually earning their keep. The Farm was really run as a business, and has been continued up to and including today2. In all those years it has been able to sell its surplus production and has never cost the county taxpayers a dime.
But – it was an absolute disgrace for a family to have a member staying there. This was a day of self-reliance and family pride. You took care of your own. Never mind if you couldn't afford it or it was "inconvenient." You simply couldn't hold your head up if you had kin folk at the Farm.
So who stayed there. It was simple. Only those with no family ties in the area. Most of the time, the Farm was short-handed for labor.
Life went on in Luverne. Inhabitants of the town were trades people who served the farm community. As in every society, there were those who did worse that average and those who did better than average. Unskilled labor went for a dollar a day. Skilled labor, such as carpenters and plumbers, earned about $25 a week – each week consisting of at least forty-eight hours. Professionals, of course, did better. And so did the few entrepreneurs who owned their own businesses. The Nelson family had the largest house in town, a frame Colonial occupying an entire city block. The owners of the grain elevators and of the two bans fared well, too. As usual, the few doctors and dentists stayed very busy, but few became wealthy. This was the day of the house call and of the Hippocratic Oath. No patient was refused help because he couldn't pay. In many cases, payment was literally made with butter and es, and many a Sunday dinner featured a roasting hen traded for a tooth extraction or the setting of a broken arm. Lawyers, too, played an important part in the area. But the backbone of Luverne society came from the land.
Southwestern Minnesota was settled in the late 1800's by the pioneers rushing to the opening of the Dakota Territory. From the 1870s through [President] Benjamin Harrison's term in office, homesteaders flocked to the area. Most were satisfied with their alloted quarter sections (160 acres), but the aggressive ones who saw that the rich land could only increase in value, bought every parcel as it became available, borrowing against the future that land booms can bring. In the panic of 1890 (?)3, there were many [financial] wipeouts. But the few who managed to pull through became the core of who was who in Luverne.
Many of these people had strong ties in the East. Most were well educated and, during the good times from 1900 through 1920, were frequent visitors to the cultural centers in New York, Philadelphia and Boston. It was this group that brought the Chatauqua group to Luverne, and who sponsored live theater with the Clint and Bessie Robbins troupe4.
My G reat Aunt Vi was one of this cadre. A pioneer girl, she came to Rock County with her father and mother, homesteaded 160 acres, and spent the first year in a sod hut du from the treeless land. Heated by the sun in the summer and by buffalo chips in the winter, they survived not only the lelments but the Sioux Indian uprising of 1879 (?5). She later married Albert Barck, an attorney who was deeply into the land acquisition bit. Together they managed to put together land holdings comprising 22 farms, or a total of over 3,500 acres. Albert died in 1901, but Aunt Vi, who stood all of five feet tall, more than took his place. Costumed in black lace, her tiny waist corseted in to under twenty inches, her slender neck circled by a black velvet choaker with circular diamond pin, her long grey hair upswept into a bun topped off with the latest broad-brimmed hat – she was imperious. On her ample bosom was always attached a gold pince-nez. When the occasion arose, she could always squelch any business or social adversary by merely unreeling her glasses, holding them to her eyes with a glance that could be positively withering.
My mother and I came to live with Aunt Vi shortly after I was born in May of 1919. My father, Aunt Vi's favorite nephew and business partner in some land ventures, had died in November of 1918 during the devastaing influenza epidemic of that year. In Aunt Vi's eyes, I was eventually to take his place.
When the Depression years hit, I was all of thirteen. Nevertheless, I became her confidant. I learned that part of her land holdings had been sold in the early 1920s and that she had taken mortgages for much of the payment. On land farmed by tenants I learned which were not able to bring in enough income to cover taxes. Where cash rent was due, like the doctors and dentists, we took part of our payment in kind. I because her companion on trips to the various farms and, during harvesting, was her emmissary standing atop the threshing machine making sure that two out of every five bushels went into the landlord's grain wagon.
Life went on, and life was generally good. Only two unpleasant incidents related to those years still stand out in my mind. One of her finest farms had been sold to a very industrious tenant named Elmer Sandstede6. During the good years of the '20s he had prospered and, instead of payin off his mortgage had spent his money on building a fine house and, for those days, state-of-the-art outbuildings, including a very modern dairy barn equipped with automatic milking machines. He had borrowed heavily from the Rock County Bank, givin them a second mortgage on his property.
The year was 1933. Drought had hit much of the midwest in 1932, but rain surpluses remained high and prices of corn, oats and barley continued their downward trend. Sandstede became financially strapped. In early July he came by our house to talk to Aunt Vi. I sat in on the meeting.
"Mrs. Barck," he began, "I am in real trouble. I owe the bank over two thousand dollars in back interest. They say that they are in trouble, too, and that they have to be paid. If I pay them, I can't pay you. I just don't know what to do."
I knew that Aunt Vi had counted on the income from this particular mortgage since the farm itself had always been so productive. I new that she also had interest payments to meet on several ban loans. This normally stern, proper woman lifed her head, returned her pince-nez to its resting place on her bosom, sighed and replied in a quiet, resigned tone of voice, "Mr. Sandstede, we are all in this mess together. You do what you have to do. I can wait for my money."
Sandstede, tears in his eyes, thanked her and left. The next morning we received a phone call from his wife. Late that night Elmer Sandstede had gone into his new dairy barn, put a shotgun to his head, and pulled the trigger.
1Marsden originally typed "Hell" here, and edited it. Midwestern morays, no doubt.
2This must have been true at the time of this writing. Cannot confirm nor deny the existance of a county poor farm in Luverne today. Here's a link that features a postcard with a photograph of the Rock County Poor Farm in Luverne that Marsden refers to: http://www.poorhousestory.com/poorhouses_in_minnesota.htm
3The panic Marsden refers to is probably the Panic of 1893: http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h792.html
4An article on the couple. Note: 1983, used in the article, should probably be 1883. http://homestakeoperahouse.org/one-of-the-most-popular-groups-on-the-road-show-circuit
6Marsden is inconsistent with the spelling of this gentleman, using Sandstedd and Sandstead as well. I use Sandstede.

What a blessing that you have these treasures from your father! :))

In a court filing filed by the court clerk (the court secretary) on January 29, stated: "It is hereby ordered that the defendant's answer [Meta Company] be made and the court clerk instructed in this action against the defendant The plaintiff's lawyer will provide the defendant with a copy of this Order of the Order no later than three days after the date. "
Previously, Next Reality reported that Meta had given the court the required new one by January 24 Legal representation needed to continue Genedics' patent infringement case. 19659 002] This date has passed, and it seems that the court has even given the owners of Meta's property a few more days to file a response. However, this did not happen, so the court has made progress with the next phase of the case.
And while there is always the possibility of agreement or appeal for a future verdict, both It is difficult to speculate that the new owners of Meta's fortune are a mystery. Even the Genedics legal team has admitted to this letter that they have no idea who the new owners are, which would make any backroom negotiations difficult.
UPDATE: A Report from Variety points to the transfer of patent rights that the new owner of Meta's assets is a newly formed company called Meta View. However, the contract documents include a person named Mayer Gniwisch as the recipient of the assets. A quick web search reveals that Gniwisch is General Partner of Oliver Tree Ventures, an Israel-focused technology investment fund. Prior to the bankruptcy of the AR startup, the VC company listed Meta as one of its portfolio investments. So it looks like this buyer has an insider track all the time.
Whether the new owner decides to divide the company's assets for other purposes or to move the brand under new direction, the patent infringement case and its end result must be dealt with in the coming months.

The NHL's mandatory five-day hiatus for each team is, not surprisingly, playing havoc with the schedule and the fantasy world.
In year-long rotisserie-style leagues, it doesn't really matter as every team winds up at 82 games. But in head-to-head formats, it can — and will — severely alter the playing field.
This past week saw 13 teams playing just one game while four skated out for four. This coming week, five teams — the Flames, Blackhawks, Jackets, Oilers and Wild — are on the one-game schedule while the Sharks play five times in just seven days.
So, if you're desperate for a win, you can load up on the likes of Timo Meier, Kevin Labanc and Chris Tierney, or defencemen Brenden Dillon and Justin Braun, all of whom are less than 10% owned. You can even check on the availability of solid backup Aaron Dell (32%) who should get, at worst, two starts.
You have to figure any of the above Sharks skaters are bound to produce better stats in five games (except for plus-minus) than anyone on the single-game teams with the exception of the marquee players and, with that heavy schedule awaiting them, should take regular shifts.
♦ Speaking of the Sharks, just noticed that, as of Saturday morning, they had no skater in the top 100 overall player rankings. Joe Pavelski sits at No. 111, Brent Burns 118. For a team that has a long history of turning out valuable fantasy pieces, that's unusual.
♦ He's 22 and already two teams have deemed winger Anthony Duclair expendable and shipped him elsewhere. So you wonder if things will be any different in Chicago, where he was dealt this past week by the Coyotes for forward Richard Panik. Duclair, a third-round pick in 2013 who starred for Canada at the world junior tourney two years later, hasn't been any where close to his 20-24-44 rookie scoring line after being traded to Arizona from the Rangers three years ago.
Still, there's always that chance something clicks in for Duclair. Perhaps more of a veteran element around him on the Blackhawks will do it. He wouldn't be the first to put on a Chicago jersey and suddenly start producing.
His Hawks debut on Friday night against Winnipeg went well enough. He skated 11-plus minutes on the third line with David Kampf and Alex DeBrincat, earned an assist and finished plus-2 in a 2-1 victory.
Panik, meanwhile, was one of those reclamation surprises after being picked up from the Leafs, scoring 22 goals and 44 points as a top-sixer last season. But, with just six goals, he had been reduced to a fourth-liner before the trade.
There are those who say Panik was playing over his head with Chicago's stars forwards, but he's probably good enough to take on more power-play responsibilities on the young Coyotes. So his owners might want to hang on for now to see how they deploy him. But give him a short leash.
♦ Amusing numbers to come out of the Blackhawks' 8-2 thumping of the Senators in Ottawa on Tuesday night: Patrick Kane finished with a five-point night but was still a minus-1. Linemate Nick Schmaltz was a minus-2, even with scoring twice and adding an assist. Chicago was 4-for-9 on the power-play.
♦ That postponed game between Florida and Boston will be played on Sunday April 8, which will make it the final match of the regular schedule. For the Panthers, it will make eight games in their final 12 days and one wonders if there will be anything left of them should they squeeze into the playoffs.
This year, skating on Sid Crosby's line is no guarantee of production, but the Dutch-born 2015 second-rounder is 2-1-3 (all in one outing) with 18 shots on goal in five games on the top unit. With 18 goals in the AHL before his New Year's Eve recall and 117 more in what worked out to be three full seasons in the Q, the offensive skillset is definitely there and worth keeping an eye on.
He's played two NHL games and already is being tabbed by some as the Leafs' fourth-best D-man. Former second-rounder's assets are his great wheels, excellent hockey sense and a low panic threshold that should serve him well on a team that essentially asks of its blue-liners only to keep mistakes to a minimum.
A sixth-round pick in 2012, he's gone two games without a point but prior to that was 2-6-8 in his previous half dozen outings, playing with Jonathan Toews and Brandon Saad. He has no history as a prolific offensive force, so his nine points in 14 games may be an unreliable barometer of what to expect.
Tough news for Victor Hedman owners. The all-star D-man left Thursday's game limping noticeably after a seemingly benign bump from Flames' Garnet Hathaway along the boards. Hathaway's kneecap clipped Hedman's left knee, bending it in slightly, which suggests an MCL injury. Hedman seemed fine until he went to push off but now is out 3-6 weeks … Josh Bailey expect to play in the all-star game Jan. 28 … Hawks coach Joel Quenneville was vague on Corey Crawford's return, saying only the goalie's upper body injury wasn't season-ending … Semyon Varlamov (groin) and Bo Horvat (ankle) will be out another two weeks … Roberto Luongo and Filip Forsberg are eyeing returns early next month … Nino Niederreiter (ankle) hopes to be back in a week … Bobby Ryan is back out with, you guessed it, another hand injury. What is he wearing out ther, gardening gloves?


Twenty years ago, Marc Aymard never imagined working behind a desk. He was at his dream job - the youngest pilot flying 737's for a major US airline.
By the end of 2003, Marc received what he thought was bad news – a job furlough due to a worldwide contraction in the airline industry. With his first daughter months from arriving he turned to a new industry – mortgage banking.
At first it was just a job, a temporary bridge back to flying. As he learned the industry, he realized there was a great opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of his clients during an important and often stressful milestone – purchasing their home.
Coming from an industry that demanded perfection, Marc was quickly able to separate himself from his competitors. Marc's clients appreciated his attention to detail and proactive approach that made the mortgage financing process easier than previously experienced.
What was once a temporary job became a successful career fueled by referrals from real estate professionals and past clients who valued his advice and counsel.
Marc has earned top awards from PNC Bank, Bank of America and First Home Mortgage during his career. In 2013, Mortgage Executive Magazine listed him in the top 1% of loan officers nationwide and he has received the same accolades every year since.
He engages homebuyers personally, answering questions and providing objective advice so they can make confident, well informed decisions.
Marc still loves aviation and lives in Northern Virginia with his wife and three daughters.
That the process is hard. It certainly can be, but if you find the right loan officer who patiently explains the process and options, financing a home can be an uneventful and even enjoyable experience.
It's critical to find a knowledgeable loan officer you can trust. Listen to their advice and follow it. Never be afraid to ask questions or simply say you don't understand. A good loan officer will take the time to educate you and make you comfortable with your decisions.

Molecular Principles of Nerve Conduction Along Myelinated Axons: Insights into Human Neuropathies
January 30, 2020 | 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Location: Scott Hall #2268 | Map
540 E. Canfield
Calendars: Warrior Wednesday, Research Events, Main Events Calendar
Audience: Current Graduate Students, Current Undergraduate Students, Faculty
Manzoor A. Bhat, PhD
Professor and Chairman, Zachry Foundation Distinguished Chair in Neurosciences, Department of Cellular and Integrative Physiology, University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio
Myelinated axons are organized into molecularly and functionally distinct domains defined by the presence of specific protein complexes that allow rapid saltatory action potential propagation. The paranodal domain contains the axo-glial junctions (AGJs) that are established by axonal Contactin-associated protein 1 (Cntnap1 or Caspr1), and Contactin and myelin/glial Neurofascin 155. The nodal domains (nodes of Ranvier) are organized by neuronal Neurofascin 186, voltage-gated sodium channels, and two cytoskeletal scaffolding proteins Ankyrin G and βIV Spectrin. In myelin-related diseases, this domain structure is compromised, leading to a decrease or loss of nerve conduction and muscle weakness. Our work demonstrated specific functions of the above proteins in the organization, maturation and maintenance of axonal domains. Importantly, recent identification of human CNTNAP1 mutations that are associated with severe AGJ and myelin defects further highlight the importance of AGJ proteins in nerve structure and function. While significant advances have been made regarding the organization of axonal domains; there still remain fundamental overarching questions related to AGJs and neuromuscular health: What impact do human mutations have on AGJ formation and physiological properties of axons? How does progressive disruption of axonal domains affect axons and the muscles they innervate? How does declining nerve activity change neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) and lead to muscle atrophy. Collectively, our studies are fundamentally advancing our understanding of how human AGJ- and myelin-related pathologies impact axonal and neuromuscular health; and may offer critical insights into the timelines of functional restoration and potential avenues for future therapeutic interventions for these devastating neuropathologies.

Die Arbeits- und Lernsituation (ALS) ist ein Teil der neuen schweizerischen kaufmännischen Grundausbildung zur Kauffrau/zum Kaufmann. Pro Lehrjahr hat der Lernende 2 Arbeits- und Lernsituationen zu durchlaufen. Der Durchschnitt aller Noten zählt zu 25 % für den betrieblichen Teil der Lehrabschlussprüfung.

Definition einer ALS
Während der Lehre überprüft der Berufsbildner anhand einer Arbeits- und Lernsituation (ALS) periodisch das Arbeiten und Verhalten der Lernenden im Betrieb. Der Berufsbildner wählt zum jeweiligen Bereich passende Lernziele aus dem Modelllehrgang aus und gibt diese dem Lernenden schriftlich bekannt. Der Auszubildende hat nun die Aufgabe, sich das in den Zielen beinhaltete Wissen anzueignen. Oder er muss eine kleinere zum Ziel passende, schriftliche Arbeit verfassen, welche dann bewertet wird (je nach Leistungsziel unterschiedlich). Die Überprüfung des Fachwissen erfolgt anhand eines Prüfungsgespräches mit dem Ausbilder. Mittels festgelegter Beurteilungskriterien, bewertet der Ausbildner die Fachkenntnisse des Lehrlings, die er im Zusammenhang mit den Leistungszielen haben sollte. Zudem wird auch das Verhalten des Lernenden bewertet (Verhaltenskriterien). Die Noten der ALS werden bei dem Qualifikations-Verfahren (ehemals LAP= LehrAbschlussPrüfung) angerechnet.

Während der drei Lehrjahre müssen entweder 6 ALS mit jeweils 8 Leistungszielen und 8 Verhaltenskriterien oder 3 ALS mit jeweils 12 Leistungszielen und 12 Verhaltenskriterien absolviert werden. Die ALS ersetzen die konventionellen Ausbildungsberichte und geben dem Ausbilder die Möglichkeit, das Wissen des Lernenden anhand praxisbezogener und standardisierten Leistungszielen aus dem Modelllehrgang zu beurteilen.

The Rock Garden has a wonderful variety of plants to see in spring. Curator Laura Powell focuses on drought-tolerant species, but that hasn't limited the beauty to be found within this jewel box of a garden. Various microclimates here support a wide range of plants native to mountainous and rocky areas of the world. Be sure to visit soon and often!
Tulips originated in mountainous parts of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Seeing these popular garden plants in the Rock Garden makes it easier to imagine them in their natural habitat.
A number of evergreen species are grouped here, all of which prefer acidic soils. Their spring flowers appear in succession, with the heath coming first, in March.
A variety of columbines grow in the Rock Garden, including this cultivar with unusual brownish-purple petals.
This anemone relative's pretty spring flowers give way to seed heads that are just as attractive.
In nature, this European member of the mustard family grows in mats in limestone crevices and along mountain streams. Pretty white flowers appear in spring.
A number of these late-winter bloomers can be found in the Rock Garden. Many established themselves around the garden by self-sowing.

As a person who is extremely open-minded when it comes to diverse music genres, I often find myself listening to these catchy tunes by Demi Lovato. There is something about her upbeat pop numbers and raw ballads that leave me astonished by her talent as a singer. I am stunned by her impressive vocal range, and love the fact that she takes an active part in the writing process. Regardless of how you feel about her, these amazingly catchy tunes by Demi Lovato will either have you dancing in your seat or running for the nearest tissue.
I am starting off this list of catchy tunes by Demi Lovato with one of the songs that cemented her singing career (in my opinion). "La La Land" serves as a cheeky play on the land of celebrities (Los Angeles). This song was featured on her debut album, "Don't Forget", and was met with rave reviews. In an interview with MTV, Lovato stated that "You won't necessarily find a lot of [deep songs] on the album, but hopefully you will on the next album. It's my first one, so I wanted it to be fun — stuff you can drive around in your car to and jam out to." With it's energetic beat and melodious chorus, I feel that she more than accomplished this.

Fresh water is foundational to human well-being, yet the ecosystems that underpin human freshwater needs are disproportionately impacted by unsustainable human activity. Common underlying drivers include the chronic undervaluing of water-related ecosystems, the spatial and power asymmetries that exist between service supply and demand, and the fragmented interests among stakeholders in freshwater basins. The ecosystem services paradigm offers an opportunity to address these challenges, by engaging natural resource management and planning, integrating social and cultural values of ecosystems, leveraging indigenous and other knowledge systems, and addressing other complexities of water resources governance.
However, water resource management has traditionally been viewed as an engineering challenge. Although there has been great progress in some areas to incorporate "green infrastructure" and mitigate the impacts of conventional water infrastructure such as dams, ecosystem-based approaches are still generally viewed as niche, costly alternatives. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the ecosystem services community of researchers and practitioners to synthesize the evidence for green infrastructure in a water resource management context, improve decision support tools (e.g., eco-hydrologic models), and promote innovative governance and financing mechanisms to help mainstream ecosystem services in water management.
This Sectoral Working Group on ES in Water Management brings together current knowledge about water-related ecosystem services, including but not limited to water provision, flow and quality regulation, sediment regulation, flood attenuation, aquifer recharge, freshwater fish and biomass provision, as well as cultural and supporting services that are often overlooked in water resource management. Members will bring a mix of technical skills and practical experience, and will synthesize the growing body of evidence but also identify novel approaches to measuring, communicating, and incorporating ES into water management.

Gravina Smith Matte & Arnold
Guests of honor pictured from left to right: London Bay President & CEO Mark Wilson, Mayor Ray Murphy, Commissioner Ray Sandelli and London Bay Executive VP & CFO Stephen Wilson.
Having reached the 11th floor, the Grandview at Bay Beach ceremony also provided the first opportunity to experience the magnificent views from the residences, scheduled for completion in spring 2023.
London Bay Development Group and national construction company Suffolk recently celebrated a major construction milestone for Grandview with a topping out ceremony on April 7. Having reached the 11th floor, the ceremony also provided the first opportunity to experience the magnificent views from the residences, scheduled for completion in spring 2023.
"We are absolutely thrilled to be at this stage of vertical construction," said Mark Wilson, CEO and president of London Bay Development Group. "Grandview represents the collective vision of a team inspired to design and build a luxury high-rise unlike any other. It is the first new high-rise tower built on Estero Island in over a decade and is already more than 60 percent sold. It's a testament to the area's desirability and waterfront attractions coupled with the opportunity Grandview provides – premier designs with beautiful views, modern amenities and a desirable timeline."
Based on a preliminary study, the project is estimated to have the following economic impact throughout the construction phase:
350 jobs will be created throughout the span of the project
15 jobs at full employment in the community
$650,000 in impact fees to Lee County
$1 – 1.5 million in annual tax revenue
Attended by representatives from London Bay, Suffolk, Commissioner Ray Sandelli, Mayor Ray Murphy, neighboring residents and trade partners, the topping-out ceremony included an appreciation lunch and tours.
"We are very proud to continue our relationship with London Bay Development Group through this beautiful project, Grandview at Bay Beach," said Josh Christensen, general manager of Suffolk. "Construction is alive and thriving in Southwest Florida and we, along with London Bay, believe in offering quality construction and design, providing excellent service to our clients, and using the latest technology and innovation in everything we do. This celebration is not only about marking a topping off milestone, but also thanking our 200 team members and trade partners working on this site each day."
Suffolk and London Bay also partnered on the resort-inspired clubhouse and residences at Moorings Park Grande Lake, Naples' premier Life Plan Community.
Situated on the southern tip of Estero Island, Grandview introduces modern coastal architecture and an elevated lifestyle with luxury residences offering 2,400 to over 2,900 square feet of living space, panoramic water views, and private on-site amenities.

Each home has private elevator access and dedicated parking in the main garage. Six exclusive penthouses feature 11-foot ceilings and a private two-car garage.
Wide foyers lead to spacious living areas that include great rooms, elegant dining areas and gourmet kitchens. Select floor plans also feature large dens for working or relaxing.
Luxurious master suites in Grandview offer generous walk-in closets and sitting areas that create the ideal spot to enjoy water views. Spa-worthy bathrooms boast dual vanities, oversized walk-in showers and Kohler fixtures.
Grandview's elevated waterfront lifestyle comes alive in The EL, its upscale on-property amenities hub accessed by a floating glass staircase curving from the first-floor lobby. Amenities focus on wellness and a resort-inspired lifestyle with inviting coastal interior design by Interior Design Associates.
The club-style social room features a linear fireplace, card tables, multiple seating areas, a catering kitchen and bar within a palette of colors, textures and elegant furnishings inspired by the sea and nearby beaches.
"The interior design is a modern expression of coastal elegance," said Jennifer Glass, president and principal of the Nashville design firm. "We selected materials that are beautiful in their simplicity. Details are clean lined and boldly expressed. The color palette is both soothing and energetic. As an extension of Grandview's homes, amenities are well-appointed and well-designed, welcoming residents whether they're wearing a cocktail dress or shorts and sandals."
The EL's indoor spaces flow to spacious outdoor amenities, which include a raised spa, covered and open-air gathering areas, a built-in banquette circling a fire pit, an alfresco kitchen equipped with two grills and a second fireside destination. Pergolas, palm trees and colorful landscaping impart a tropical ambience.

Q: Django admin filters on remote field via get_list_filter I have 3 models, linked by FKs in a chain like this:
class Customer(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)

class Order(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    customer = models.ForeignKey(
        'customer.Customer', on_delete=models.PROTECT)

class Task(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    order = models.ForeignKey(
        'order.Order', on_delete=models.PROTECT)

Now, if within my TaskAdmin, I use:
list_filter = ('order__customer', )
everything works fine. But if I go with:
def get_list_filter(self, request):
    return ('order__customer', )

the page loads, but as soon as I click on any possibile customer, a Bad Request (400) error page appears. It sounds like a Django bug to me, but maybe I'm doing something wrong here... any hints?

A: I don't have enough reputation to add a comment, so I'll write here, even if this is not a real answer.
It looks there's an open ticket on this topic: lookup_allowed fails to consider dynamic list_filter
You can use two different workarounds to quickly solve this problem until it will be fixed upstream:

*

*in addition to get_list_filter you can define list_filter = ('order__customer',), so that this field's lookups will always be whitelisted, even if not used (because get_list_filter has precedence)

*you can override lookup_allowed this way:
def lookup_allowed(self, lookup, *args, **kwargs):
    if lookup == 'order__customer__id__exact':
        return True
    return super(TaskAdmin, self).lookup_allowed(lookup, *args, **kwargs)

this explicitly allows the single lookup that will be used as url param.

Elevate your tailgate with these pro-caliber recipes
By Allison Steele The Philadelphia Inquirer (TNS)
PHILADELPHIA — Just because you're hanging out in a parking lot doesn't mean you can't enjoy professional-caliber food while you're waiting for the game to start. A few of Philly's chefs recently offered their ideas. At Suraya, Fishtown's Lebanese restaurant, chef/owner Nick Kennedy cooks every day over an open bed of coals that could be replicated in a small grill outside the Linc. For a do-it-yourself version of his kafta kebabs, he suggested mixing ground beef with parsley, cumin, and other spices that give it a warm, savory flavor. He recommended forming the kebabs the night before. It helps the meat set better, he said, plus it takes most of the work out of game day.
"Don't overcomplicate it," he said. "Otherwise, you won't be able to enjoy yourself while you're doing it."
He accompanied the skewers with onions, tomatoes, and spicy long hot peppers, throwing the onions in their skins right on the coals for eight to 10 minutes until they're charred black on the outside. Give them another few minutes to rest, then peel off the black layer, and they're sweet and juicy inside.
Placed close to the fire, the long hots should get a good char after only about four minutes. Kennedy slices the tomatoes in half, adds a sprinkling of salt, and cooks them face-down for four to six minutes, as close to the flame as possible. "You want to get them really charred and hot, so they explode with juices when you eat it," he said.
The meat cooks in just a few minutes, he said, depending on the size of the skewer, and is ready after a couple more minutes of resting.
Kennedy suggested finishing it all with a little olive oil and sea salt, drizzling it with the runoff juices from the vegetables, and serving it with hummus and pita. Vegetarians can leave out the meat and put the veggies together for a sandwich.
Jim Burke, the chef at Yards Brewing Co., said the brewery's popular Philly-style wings can be easily adapted for game day.
The wings are tossed in a buffalo sauce made with garlic, vinegar, jalapeños, and long hots that give it a pale green color as well as a tangy, spicy flavor.
"We basically just asked ourselves, how can we make it more Philly?" Burke said. "Anywhere we could, we wanted to add local traditions."
Experienced grillmasters might consider cooking the wings entirely over a charcoal grill, starting them on the cooler side of the grill and gradually moving them toward the hottest area. But for a simpler approach, the wings can be prebaked at home in the oven, then finished on the grill for game day. Cook until the skin crisps up and the meat inside is juicy.
Once done, they are tossed with salt and the green sauce, just enough to coat them lightly. The heat in the sauce can be offset by some cool blue cheese dipping sauce.
Sushi chef Jesse Ito of Queen Village's Royal Sushi & Izakaya recently added a special to his nightly offerings that he said is approachable enough for a tailgater in search of something new. Beef negimaki, or beef and scallion rolls, can be prepared the night before by pounding thin sirloin or another type of steak, slicing it, rolling it up around crunchy scallions and mushrooms, then spearing it on skewers for cooking.
"Anyone can make a hibachi out of a grill," he said. "And if you can cook a steak, you can cook this."
Sliced into bite-size rolls, the result is a salty, addictive snack. The vegetables give it crunch, and Ito recommends a drizzling of chicken tare, a Japanese dipping sauce, for a touch of sweetness.
At DiNic's in Reading Terminal Market, there's more than just the famous roast pork sandwich on the menu. But it can be a challenge to get people to try other things, said owner Joe Nicolosi. The pulled pork is best for a tailgating party, he said, because like the best tailgating food, it can be prepped ahead of time, then finished in a slow cooker that lets the flavors deepen for hours.
To get it ready for the slow cooker, he suggested seasoning a boneless pork butt with salt and pepper and stuffing herbs like rosemary, fennel, and garlic into the crevices. He recommended cooking the meat in a 450-degree oven for half an hour — or searing it — then caramelizing onions with fresh garlic and setting it all aside until it's time to leave. It all goes into the slow cooker with water and perhaps a cup of wine.
When it's done, Nicolosi advised serving it on a roll from Sarcone's, layering salty provolone cheese on the bottom so it melts and laying long hots on top — red ones, sweeter than the green. He likes to pour some of the cooking juices on top for extra flavor; chefs with immersion blenders might find the sauce's thickness improves from some blending as a last step, he said.
"The pork basically needs to be falling apart, no resistance at all when you touch it with a fork," he said. "You can't really overcook it — it just gets more tender."
PHILLY WINGS
2 pounds small to medium chicken wings
2 tablespoons salt
1/4-1/2 cup canola oil
Toss wings with salt (if multiplying recipe, use about 1 tablespoon per pound). Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Remove wings from fridge and pat dry.
Put them in a pan large enough for them to fit comfortably in one layer, add barely enough canola oil to coat the wings, and put them in the oven.
Cook for approximately 20 minutes, until they are fully cooked but only lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes.
Once they have cooled to room temperature, reserve any liquid in the pan to add to the hot sauce later.
Gently pat wings dry before wrapping them tightly to transport in a cooler.
At the game, remove wings from cooler to get them to room temperature. Coat the wings in a very small amount of canola oil and place them on the grill.
Turn the wings often and monitor heat so they brown evenly and deeply on all sides. They must cook long enough for the skin to crisp completely.
Transfer wings to a bowl, season to taste with salt, and add enough of the warm hot sauce (see recipe) to completely coat the wings. Serve immediately.
— Jim Burke of Yards Brewing Co.
LONG HOT BUFFALO SAUCE
Makes about 1/4 cup
1 1/2 pounds long hot and jalapeño peppers, equal portions, with stems removed
1/4 cup white vinegar, plus more if needed for seasoning
Puree peppers in a blender with the salt and garlic, starting at the lowest setting and gradually increasing to the highest speed.
Add 1/4 cup of vinegar in small amounts to ensure the peppers are spinning freely.
If making ahead of time, cover and let sit at room temperature for 2-3 days (less time for warmer temperatures, more time for cooler) to ferment and develop a more complex flavor.
If serving immediately, transfer mixture to a pot and bring to a boil, then turn off heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
When wings are ready, warm sauce with about 2 tablespoons of butter and toss with wings.
DINIC'S SLOW-COOKER PULLED PORK
Makes about 20 sandwiches
10-pound pork butt, with 1 raw pound yielding about two sandwiches
1 bulb fresh garlic, finely chopped
Salt and pepper, for seasoning
Pinch red pepper, for seasoning
1 handful dry or fresh rosemary, for seasoning
Dry or fresh fennel, for seasoning
1 cup canned tomatoes, chopped
Rub outside of pork with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper.
If using dry rosemary, rub on the outside of pork. If using fresh, stuff into the center, along with 3 to 5 cloves of finely chopped garlic. If using fennel powder, rub that on the outside. If using fennel seeds, place inside.
Heat oven to 425 degrees and brown pork in a pan in oven for 30 minutes.
Move the pan to the stove top, remove pork, and sauté onions and remaining garlic in same pan until soft.
Transfer pork, onions, and garlic to slow-cooker.
Add tomatoes, wine, 1 sprig of fresh rosemary if desired, and enough water to go halfway up the side of the meat.
Cook on low to medium setting until park easily pulls apart with a fork. Internal temperature should be at least 200 degrees, and cooking should take 7 to 8 hours.
Serve on rolls with desired toppings.
— Joe Nicolosi of DiNic's
KAFTA KEBABS
Makes four 4-ounce kebabs
1 pound ground beef, preferably a blend of brisket and chuck
1/2 cup sweet onion, diced large
1 cup parsley, leaves and stems, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon dried mint
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, dry or freshly ground
1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds, toasted and ground
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
Olive oil, for seasoning
Combine onion and parsley in a food processor and pulse until consistency is fine.
Place ground beef in a bowl and break apart.
Sprinkle all seasonings evenly over meat, including the onion and parsley mixture, and mix gently. Do not overmix.
Divide into four parts and form into cylinders on metal skewers.
Let sit in refrigerator for at least four hours, preferably overnight.
When ready to grill, lightly season with salt and place very close to hot coals, rotating frequently until seared on all sides.
When ready, the meat should be firm but still bouncy to the touch.
Remove from heat and finish with a drizzling of olive oil.
Serve with hummus and pita, and with charred onions, tomatoes, and long hots, if desired.
— Nick Kennedy of Suraya
CHICKEN TARE
Makes about 2 quarts
1 quart sake
1 quart water
2 quarts soy sauce
0.4 quart brown sugar
1 whole chicken (about 2 pounds)
1 bunch scallion, chopped
1 head garlic, cut in half
1 cluster peeled ginger, sliced
Put the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Give the chicken a good quick sear on all sides to brown the skin, then take the pan off the heat and put aside.
Pour the water, sake, soy sauce, and brown sugar into a small stock pot. Mix until the sugar is dissolved. Transfer the chicken to the stock pot and top off with all the vegetables. Make sure all the vegetables are immersed in the liquid.
Bring ingredients to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 hours. When reduced, strain sauce and let cool. Store in airtight container in the refrigerator.
— Jesse Ito of Royal Sushi & Izakaya
Makes 4 rolls (about 16 to 20 pieces)
4-5 large shiitake mushrooms
1 bunch scallions
1 pound New York strip or sirloin steak, about 1-inch thick
Chicken tare, for glazing
Toasted white sesame seeds
Clean and thinly slice the shiitake mushrooms. Set aside. Clean the scallion, cut off bulbs, and set aside.
Clean the fat and tendons from the steak. Cut thinly, about 1/8 of an inch thick or less, into slices that are about 1 by 3 inches.
Place plastic wrap over the slices and pound them with a meat tenderizer so they are as thin as possible. This should double the length and width. Remove plastic wrap.
Line four of the slices over waxed paper so you have created a small square of beef. They should slightly overlap. Make sure they are lined up with the edge of the paper. Put plastic wrap over them again and give them one more good pounding. The square should be about 6 by 6 inches. Remove the plastic wrap.
In the middle of the beef, line up shiitake mushrooms slices and one whole scallion. You will have to cut the scallion to the size of the roll.
Once the ingredients are neatly lined inside, begin rolling from the edge of the waxed paper. Make sure the beef is tightly rolled so it does not fall apart on the grill. You can also leave them wrapped in the waxed paper and place them in an airtight container for easy transport. Repeat rolling process with the remaining beef until you have four rolls.
When ready to grill, lightly season each negimaki roll with salt and brush with the tare sauce, then place them on the grill. This will help prevent them from sticking.
Roll them around about every 2 minutes on the grill while constantly applying the tare sauce with a brush. Cook for 6 to 9 minutes, depending on how hot the grill is. If the meat keeps unraveling, use a toothpick to hold it together.
Once done, let rest for a couple of minutes, then slice each roll into 4-5 pieces and sprinkle with toasted white sesame seeds.


Something about our generation irks me.
And it's how we use the word love.
It's used Loosely, without passion or meaning.
And I was one who did the same until I met Him.
I learned love isn't something you can fully express into words.
I learned that love controls you.
You are always trying to impress, copying their movements, saying what they say, and doing what they enjoy more than you.
You are always nervous, with clammy hands, constant shaking and improper speech.
You lose the ability to put your love into words.
Love is when you find yourself speechless around them, especially when trying to explain your love.
Love is when you compare others to your lover and always say they are still the best one at what they do.
Love is when you find everyone else less attractive than your lover, pointing out their flaws as beauty.
Love is when you find yourself missing them even when you're right next to them, missing their touch, the contact of your lips and your bodies becoming one.
Love is an essence, that is hard to get rid of after heartbreak, that leaves you more than just heartbroken, it leaves you with mixed emotions, it leaves you questioning and blaming yourself, it leaves you to mentally tear yourself apart until you finally have that same love again.
But will never be the same again.
Because the first love is and always will be, as mentioned before, an essence, that you will never forget or be able to get rid of as a feeling or memory.
That's why Real Love hurts for more than just days, weeks, months.
Real love will make you cautious.
Real love will make you lifeless, and drained of energy once it's gone.
Real love will make you insane.
Using it out of fear, out of Ambition, out of ignorance, lack of experience or just to have that rebound.
That's what irks me about this generation, the overuse of "I love you," without knowing what it really means, using it in the wrong ways.
Hurting others, in ways you don't want to be hurt.
Love Is not about lying, betraying, or Using someone.
It's about caring for each other, being there when others can't, being that shoulder to cry on.
I don't see it in any of you.

If there's a hell down below was written and originally recorded by Curtis Mayfield in F#m with a fuzz bass opening the song. In this Lou Donaldson version in Cm , Jerry Jemmott starts with the same (transposed) bass line, but improvises a lot more, which makes it an interesting study of his style of playing. Most of the time Jerry plays the minor pentatonic scale, adding a 2 here and there as a chromatic approach to the b3 (e.g. measure 158) or a passing tone (e.g. measure 102), and a few chromatic passages (e.g. measure 118 & 122). Combine all this and you have to C Dorian scale => C D Eb F G A Bb (e.g. measure 205-206).

Jailed this week: The criminals now set to spend Christmas behind bars
An overview of some of the most serious cases of this week
Joe Thomas
Get the inside track on the big stories from Liverpool Crown Court with our weekly newsletter
These criminals are set to spend Christmas in jail after being locked up for a host of offences.
The most shocking to be sentenced this week was evil Jordan Davidson, who murdered one man and then slashed a prison officer at HMP Altcourse while on remand.
Alex Maloney was also jailed in another high-profile case this week - although the prolific burglar was cleared of wounding a caretaker at a Merseyside primary school.
DRUGS GANG LED FROM JAIL
Drug gang members Andrew O'Callaghan, Gary Jones, Ian McDonald, Jamie Byrne, James Jefferies and Lee Stoba
Members of a gang run from the prison cell of a convicted drug dealer were jailed for a total of more than 92 years.
The 20 men and two women were part of a Merseyside-based drugs gang led by Lee Stoba, who was already serving a lengthy jail sentence at HMP Altcourse.
Stoba managed the group like a military operation from his cell, using gang members to source Class A and B drugs, and then selling and distributing them to towns and cities across the UK.
Further details on the gang who ran a massive drug peddling operation - from PRISON
Nineteen members of the gang were sentenced this week, including their leader, after a nine-month undercover investigation by officers from Cheshire Police's Crime Operations Unit.
Two remaining members of the gang are set to be sentenced later this month.

Drug addict Edward Edwards was caught when local workmen grabbed him after he had targeted a pensioner.
Edwards had already robbed one pensioner, later using her bank card to buy cider, when he snatched a purse out of the hand of 71-year-old Maureen McMahon on November 8.

The 48-year-old, of Wycliff Street in Rock Ferry, Wirral, hung his head in shame as he was jailed for four years at Liverpool Crown Court after admitting two counts of robbery.
ROBERT DUNN
Robert Dunn was sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court (Image: Unknown)
After being evicted from his home, Robert Dunn held a knife to his own throat and threatened to kill himself at a YMCA hostel.
The 47-year-old was already under investigation after being caught in prison with packages of cannabis and cannabis resin – an incident which led to his jaw being broken by fellow inmates angry at losing the drugs.
After his release from that prison term, handed down for burglary, he was evicted and had attended the hostel, in Leeds Street, Liverpool city centre, with a social worker.

However, Dunn became aggressive and agitated, making the suicide threats and then threatening to smash through metal shutters with a claw hammer.
He was jailed for 10 months at Liverpool Crown Court after admitting possession of cannabis and resin with intent to supply, and affray, possession of a knife and of an offensive weapon in relation to the later incident.
ALEX MALONEY
Alex Maloney, 31, of no fixed abode, was jailed for six years, three months for carrying out a string of burglaries in north Liverpool
Prolific burglar Alex Maloney was jailed after being found guilty of a string of crimes - although he was cleared of slashing a school caretaker with a knife.
The 31-year-old, of no fixed abode, was jailed for six years, three months when he appeared at Liverpool Crown Court.
Ahead of his trial, he pleaded guilty to carrying out burglaries in Bootle, Kensington and Seaforth, all in June.

But he denied other burglary charges centred around St William of York Church, Chapel Lane in Thornton, and St Elizabeth's Primary school, Litherland, as well as the assault of a police constable.
He was found guilty of all of those offences after a trial.
However, he was cleared of wounding the caretaker of Rimrose Hope School, Mark Rogers, during a break-in on June 16, possession of a knife and shoving a teacher.
The school, on Sandy Lane, was put into lockdown when Maloney burst in, frightening teachers and children at an after-school club.
DAVID MCCONNELL

David McConnell was serving more than nine years for operating a secret drug bashing factory before going on the run.
The 34-year-old was wanted by police after he absconded from HMP Kirkham, a Category D jail in Lancashire.
He had been given leave - but failed to return to custody at the pre-arranged time.
McConnell was believed to have headed back to the Liverpool area, where he used to live in Knotty Ash, following his escape.
How drugs stash prisoner on the run for months was sent back to jail
Lancashire detectives this week confirmed he had been located in Liverpool and brought back to custody.
McConnell was jailed for almost a decade for drugs and burglary offences at Liverpool Crown Court in October 2014.
Then 31, his home on The Beechwalk, Knotty Ash, was raided by police where cops discovered over 17kg of adulterants used to cut high purity heroin down to street level supplies.
McConnell denied possession of class A drugs with intent to supply at a trial but was found guilty.
It is not known if the inmate will have to serve any extra jail time for his escape.
JORDAN DAVIDSON
Pictured is Jordan Davidson
A murderer who described himself as "the Devil" and posed for pictures with the machete he used to hack a man to death was locked up for life.
Jordan Davidson, 26, who also slashed the throat of a guard at HMP Altcourse in Liverpool, was told he must serve a minimum of 23 years and four months in prison before he can be considered for parole.
Mr Justice Clive Lewis said that Davidson would have had to serve a minimum of 28 years but for his guilty plea and that he will only be released if the authorities are satisfied he is no longer dangerous.
Davidson went on a robbery and burglary spree and did not stop after he had murdered 67-year-old Nicholas Churton at his flat in Crescent Close, Wrexham - on what he described as the "greatest day of my life".
Further details about the murderer who signed himself off as "D. Evil" and hacked disabled OAP to death
He went on to rob and seriously injure a man in Chester, attacked a detective who was interviewing him and then, while on remand at Altcourse Prison, slashed a prison officer with a make-shift weapon in revenge for reporting him for drugs years earlier.
This week, Davidson pleaded guilty to the March 23 murder at Mold Crown Court, together with a series of 12 associated offences.


With conflicts in eastern Ukraine continuing despite serious attempts to enforce a cease-fire, and bombs and missiles dropping in Iraq and Syria, and hundreds of migrant refugees drowning in the Mediterranean, as they try to escape the ravages of war, famine, homelessness and fear in Africa, and the Dow-Jones average climbing to the stratosphere, and politicians in many jurisdictions attempting to bridge the gap between state incomes and state expenditures by zapping needed human services, and First Nations communities in Canada's north "existing" under a boiled water order for the last fifteen-plus years while another community has been moved to escape flooding for the fourth year in a row, United States media and voters were treated to one of the more refreshing pieces of news in months this week: Independent Senator Bernie Sanders has officially thrown his hat into the ring as a candidate for the Democratic Party's bid for the White House.
Sometimes, a little piece of news, has to serve as an antidote to the steady diet of violence, corruption, racism and institutional failure, in the public's insatiable thirst for a glimpse of hope, reassurance and confirmation that the world is not literally and metaphorically disintegrating before your eyes.
Good news, sometimes, has to come from stories about royal births, as it did this morning in London, with the announcement of the birth of the Princess of Cambridge, sister to Prince George.
Why is his announcement so significant to the American electorate and to the people of the rest of the world?
Most obvious is his lifelong advocacy for principles of equality, fairness, including higher corporate taxes, what he would call "their fair share"..and the removal of private cash from the politics of election campaigns. And in a country in which the uber-rich are living in gated communities in cities and towns across the land, "above" the rest of their community, and the next level of wealth forms another layer of stratification also "above" ordinary people, and then there is the galloping growth of ghettos inhabited by the poor, the unemployed, the less well educated, and the people who struggle without hope of escaping those ghettos, unless they win a NFL or the NBA, or land an entertainment contract from a record or movie company.
While Sanders' entry into the race may look like a small finger in a dyke that is already broken from the overwhelming rush of cash into the political coffers, the man himself is serious in telling anyone who will listen that he is not in the race to move Hillary Clinton to the left, but he is in the race "to win".
Call that quixotic if you like, and while some 35,000 contributions averaging $43 flowed into the Bernie Sanders for President coffers on the day of his announcement, his is still a steep mountain, craggy, windy and lonely, to climb even to gain serious coverage from the largely horse-race-addicted national media. The American culture is imbued with the profound belief that competition makes everyone better. And certainly, Sanders will provide a small voice of competition to Ms Clinton, her Fort Knox of cash will vastly outweigh anything Sanders can raise.
Also, there is a growing, credible and diverse choir of voices emerging from the small and independent news outlets, including the blogosphere, that is increasingly impacting both the coverage of the corporate news machines, and the relevance of the previously insect-like political voices. Can Sanders garner the respect of those voices with a close look at his two decades-plus political career as an "independent" who has shouted the causes of the times long before they were even a blip on the radar screens of the large television and newspapers' radar?
This is one space, in which the articulations of Bernie Sanders will receive critical acclaim, if for no other reason, than the commodification, and objectification and digitization of all human activity, including the Darwinian race for survival of the fittest (judged only on the ability to pay!) is threatening not merely the American political system, but also the world's attention and focus on wealth as the definition of human purpose.
It is not, never has been and never will be!
And if Bernie Sanders serves to raise the unconscious sleep-walking power structures inside America, and hopefully around the world to the reality that human beings are much more, and much more complicated and interesting than the size of their bank accounts, then we will all owe him a debt of gratitude. And we will begin to re-focus the efforts of all governments and all cultures and all faith communities on living together, sharing, collaborating and learning how best to resolve conflict, without the rush to bullets, bombs and missiles as our "defence"...when we all know they do not provide that security we all desire.
Lets raise a toast to the candidacy of Bernie Sanders, former mayor of Burlington Vermont, too often ridiculed as a "boutique" state by the political establishment, and shed light on the reality that, for many of us, the most interesting and most creative and the most artistic experiences of our lives as consumers have come in small boutiques of highly creative encounters.
May Bernie Sanders be another of such experiences for the American political consumer!

Industry Back on War Footing as Nokia Sues Apple for Infringing Patents
Striking back at Apple Inc.'s legal action targeting the one-time cellphone industry leader a day earlier, Nokia Corp said that it had filed a number of lawsuits against the iPhone maker for violating 32 technology patents.
Patents for displays, user interfaces, software, antennas, chipsets and video coding are covered in Nokia's lawsuits, filed in courts in Dusseldorf, Mannheim and Munich, Germany, and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
"Since agreeing a license covering some patents from the Nokia Technologies portfolio in 2011, Apple has declined subsequent offers made by Nokia to license other of its patented inventions which are used by many of Apple's products," Nokia said in a statement.
Accusing them of colluding with Nokia to extract and extort exorbitant revenues unfairly from Apple, Apple on Tuesday had taken legal action against Acacia Research Corp and Conversant Intellectual Property Management Inc.
"We've always been willing to pay a fair price to secure the rights of patents covering technology in our products," said Apple spokesman Josh Rosenstock. "Unfortunately, Nokia has refused to license their patents on a fair basis and is now using the tactics of a patent troll to attempt to extort money from Apple by applying a royalty rate to Apple's own inventions they had nothing to do with."
While Nokia was not immediately available to comment on the Apple lawsuit, Acacia and Conversant did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
When Apple filed a series of patent infringement cases against Samsung Electronics around the world, with wins and losses on both sides, a revival of the "smartphone patent wars" that began five years ago appears to have been marked by the legal action by Nokia and Apple.
The Ottawa-based Conversant named Boris Teksler as its new chief executive and Apple's lawsuit against Acacia, Conversant and Nokia was filed only one day after that appointment.
Based in Newport Beach, California, Acacia is a publicly traded patent licensing firm. In September, $22 million was awarded by a Texas jury to one of its subsidiaries when it sued Apple for patent infringement.
A Silicon Valley jury had awarded one of its units a $7.3 million settlement in an infringement case against Apple involving two smartphone patents, Conversant, which claims to own thousands of patents, announced last week.
Nokia missed out on the transition to smartphones triggered by Apple's introduction of the iPhone in 2007 while it was once the world's dominant cellphone maker.
Leaving it with its telecom network equipment business and a bulging portfolio of mobile equipment patents, the Finnish company sold its handset business to Microsoft Corp two years ago.
Microsoft sold its Nokia-feature phone business to a new company called HMD Global this year.
HMD plans to introduce new Nokia smartphone models next year and continues to market low-cost Nokia phones. Nokia agreed to a 10-year licensing deal with HMD.

Does anyone else look at Christmas gift guides and find they get more inspiration for themselves than they do for other people? I mean, I love hunting out thoughtful surprises for my nearest and dearest, but more often than not I end up zoning in on items that I didn't even know I wanted… and then they get added right onto my own little wishlist for Santa.
That's basically how I've put this list of health and fitness gifts together – it's everything I've spotted throughout the year, whether in gift guides, online or instore, that I've bought, used and loved myself, or has made me think: "I just gotta have it".
And as someone who is constantly on a health and fitness mission to improve myself, to work out more, to get fitter, to eat better, to look cuter (just for me, not for anyone else) and to simply ENJOY LIFE, I think this is a pretty excellent list – I hope it provides some solid inspiration if you're buying for someone with a similar outlook in life.
I'm usually incredibly practical when it comes to water bottles – my favorite ever is the fruit infuser water bottle because it's a simple way to make boring water even more refreshing than usual. But then I spotted this superb range by S'well. I never thought I'd say this about a water bottle, but S'well have created a thing of beauty here – this is both practical AND a fashion statement. I would be utterly delighted to unwrap this on Christmas Day.
Perfect for the traveling yogi in your life, or just anyone who doesn't want the hassle of owning and storing a yoga mat. These Yoga Paws allow you to rock your downward dog anywhere you please because the cushion and grip are all in the mitts. I have a pair of these and they're wonderful for just popping into my bag when I travel.
This book is absolute gold for aspiring runners. Written with wit and pathos, it follows the real-life story of a woman who went from being a first-time racer to ultramarathoner. Even if your loved one has no plans to run as far as Valerio does, this should be all the inspiration they need to get their running shoes on and just enjoy their fitness journey, wherever it takes them.
These cute headbands look great and stay put – meaning you can get on with your workout without having stray bits of hair fall onto your face. The hardest decision you'll have is choosing which pattern to buy – this one is my fave, followed by this one. But you really can't go wrong. To paraphrase one wise reviewer: there are so many colors on this thing that it's bound to go with literally any workout clothes you own! Bingo!
This is one for girls who lift! And who like pugs, of course. Not only is it a fun nod to strength training, it's also crazy versatile. It could be used for storing toiletries, make-up, Sweaty Bands, jewelry, stationery – there's always something that could do with being tidied away stylishly!
I picked up a NutriBullet in January this year and have not looked back since. Juices, soups, smoothies – it does the lot. I use it to make my delicious smoothie bowls too. It takes up very little space on the kitchen counter and blends healthy meals and drinks in seconds. I love it!
This is the perfect gift for busy people who LOVE fitness classes but can't always commit to attending at a particular time. For a really inconsiderable amount of money per month, you get access to a whole host of pre-recorded classes from martial arts-inspired workouts, to weight training, spin, HIIT and yoga – it's all there. It is honestly my favorite thing ever and I never get bored with these workouts because of the huge variety and the fact that they're always releasing new classes every month. I'm more than happy to pay the subscription fee, but if someone bought me a year's membership I would love them for life.
I like to call this my 'Mary Poppins' bag because it's insane how much stuff you can pack into this thing. There are lots of different compartments in there so you can separate out your gym shoes, dirty clothes and other bits and bobs, and it's roomy enough to add your water bottle, toiletries and more – and it'll still fit into the locker. There's also a handy side pouch for quick access to smaller items. Winner! I rarely go to the gym these days because I tend to work out at home, but fortunately, it also doubles as an excellent overnight bag so I still get a lot of use out of it.
I have no idea if it's just the placebo effect at work, but when I'm feeling low energy and I just can't motivate myself to get changed into my workout clothes, I light this candle for half an hour and BOOM! I'm pepped up and ready to go. There is no way you can feel lazy when there's a zingy, lemony smell in the air. It also works for getting stuff done, getting going in the morning and generally feeling like you can take on the world! And, if lemon isn't your thing, there's an orange and ginger scent too. Very festive!
If you're buying for someone who likes their makeup on point while they workout, treat them to one of the best waterproof eyeliners out there. This little bunny should stay put through even the sweatiest of gym sessions. Pair it with some nourishing Burt's Bees tinted lip balm, and tie it all together with the Pug Lift Carry-All Pouch for a super thoughtful gym makeup gift set!
I hope you've found these health and fitness gift suggestions helpful! Here's hoping Santa brings you everything you wish for and more.
Feeling inspired? Why not share on Pinterest?

Ovalbumine is een eiwit en het hoofdbestanddeel van het eiwit in een ei (55–65 procent). Het vermoeden bestaat dat het een opslageiwit is. Ovalbumine behoort tot de serpinen. In tegenstelling tot andere serpinen is ovalbumine echter niet in staat serinproteasen te inhiberen.

Geschiedenis
Het ovalbumine van kippen was (na het hemoglobine in 1870) het tweede eiwit dat zuiver en in kristallijne vorm werd gewonnen. Het gelukte Franz Hofmeister in 1889 met een neerslagreactie in een ammoniumsulfaatoplossing het zuivere ovalbumine te verkrijgen en daaruit kristallen te kweken. De naam kreeg het eiwit pas in 1900 van Osborne en Campbell.

Eigenschappen
Het ovalbumine van kippen stolt bij 84,5 °C.

Ovalbumine is hydrofoob.

Ovalbumine kan bij mensen een allergie veroorzaken.

Biosynthese
Het gen voor ovalbumine ligt bij de kip (Gallus gallus domesticus) op chromosoom 2 en is 8 exon en 5900 baseparen (5,9 kbp) groot. Het transcriptie mRNA bevat 1392 basen en na de translatie en verdere posttranslationele modificatie wordt het 385 aminozuren lange ovalbumine met een molecuulmassa van 42,8 kDa gevormd. De aminosequentie van het kippenovalbumine werd in 1981 volledig in kaart gebracht.

Gebruik
Ovalbumine is belangrijk voor het eiwitonderzoek, omdat het veel voorhanden is. Het is gebruikt voor het onderzoek voor het ontwikkelen van technieken voor de meting van de molaire massa en voor het onderzoek naar de eiwitstructuur. Verder wordt het gebruikt bij de immunologie voor het oproepen van een allergische reactie.

Vanaf medio 19e eeuw werd dit eiwit gebruikt in de fotografie. Het papier waarop werd afgedrukt werd voorzien van een laag albumine. De techniek wordt daarom albuminedruk genoemd.

For J's belated bday dinner, he picked Miyabi in the Mission. I'm staying in the Mission, and this is why most of the food choices will tend to be centered in this fine SF neighborhood. It's easy to eat around there, there's tons of choices. Whether it's on Mission, Valencia, Church, or Castro streets, restaurants abound. People love to eat here. And drink here.
And so it begins! This is a nice little low-key spot. Miso, side salad, and seaweed salad. All good. I love me some seaweed salad. Explain it to me, why is this so good? Can one make this at home? J got the udon with beef. While the soup and the noodles and veggies were good, he was quite annoyed with the meat. I told him to get the shrimp tempura! But no, he insisted on meat. And then he got stuck with fatty chewy cheap slices of meat. Why does noone listen to me? But other than the meat part, he enjoyed it.
I got a godzilla roll, the one on the bottom. Holy heck. They have pictures of their rolls, and in the photo, this roll was not this ginormous. And then it showed up on the plate, with a diameter of about 3 inches. Normal people can't fit this in their mouth. I don't have a flip top head! I don't remember what was in it, but it was various stuff. And it was battered and fried. Hee! And then a squirt of spicy sriracha-ness on top. Tasty. The roll on the top was some kind of spicy tuna roll with crunchies on it. Also quite tasty. This was way too much roll for me, and for both of us, so half of this came home. They made excellent snacks later in the evening.
Miyabi was quite busy. Most people seemed to have gotten some type of bento box type combo. Their prices were quite reasonable for these, so I can see why. Service was just fine. It's nothing extraordinary, but quite decent and very affordable for japanese/sushi.
