Goalie makes six saves to hold off Long Island Lutheran for first PSAA title.
The final minutes dragged on for Stony Brook in its PSAA boys soccer championship match with Long Island Lutheran Friday.
Stony Brook was up but Lutheran was ready to strike at any minute. With 10 seconds left, the countdown started on the sidelines.
After time ran out, the Stony Brook squad became the new PSAA boys soccer champions defeating Long Island Lutheran, 2-1, Friday afternoon at Cantiague Park.
The win, like the final minutes of the game, was a long time coming for the Bears.
"I waited a long time for this win," goalie Lael Kutame said.
They did the same to secure the win.
Lutheran scored first. Andre Curbelo received the ball and went 1-on-1 with Kutame, a move he saw throughout the match. This time it worked, giving Lutheran a 1-0 lead with 4:41 remaining in the first half.
The Bears came back stronger in the second.
Narain tied the score with 38:10 on the clock. There was a fumble near the net, the ball was dropped and Narain pounced.
Mo Romeus scored the go-ahead goal on a penalty kick with 18:22 on the clock.
Kutame totaled six saves. He wasn't afraid to get out of the box and assist the defense, stopping the breakaways. "It took a lot of hardwork figuring out how far I can go out," Kutame said.
The win ends a 20-year drought for the Bears (13-3-2) in boys soccer. Narain and Kutame are graduating but Romeus will be left to continue the winning tradition.

Whole Foods Market: It's Organic
The following sample Business research paper is 2679 words long, in APA format, and written at the undergraduate level. It has been downloaded 215 times and is available for you to use, free of charge.
John Mackey and Renee Lawson Hardy the co-founders of the current Whole Foods Market simply wanted to provide quality healthy food to the American consumer. This was about three decades ago when the first store opened. According to Mackey, helping people eat better was his priority, not making money. Happily, for Mackey and Lawson, the residents of Austin, Texas were hungry, no pun intended, for just this type of product. At the time, though there were several small independent health food stores, there was not a full-sized grocery store. This is what set Mackey and Lawson apart from their competitors, their enormous sized health food grocery store was a huge success and now Whole Foods Market (WFM) is not only a household name but is recognized as a leader in providing healthier choices for today's families.
Mackey and Lawson, a young couple, twenty-five and nineteen borrowed forty-five thousand dollars from their friends and family to open the grocery store Safer Way. This name sounds familiar because it is a play on the name of the major grocery store retailer at the time Safeway Foods. Mackey and Lawson's food alternative retail location was a vegetarian store and their suppliers were local farmers (Collins, 2013). With no money for living expenses, Mackey and Lawson lived on the third level of their commercially zoned grocery store, a converted three-story house. This couple met when they were part of a grocery co-op. Mackey feels if he had not been a part of this co-op and introduced to healthier eating becoming a vegetarian that WFM might not have happened (Collins, 2013). Two years after Safer Way opened their doors, Mackey and Lawson merged their store with another similar food-conscious store Clarksville Natural Grocery with its owners Craig Weller and Mark Skiles, and this resulted in the opening of the first Whole Foods Market on September 20, 1980 (Whole Foods Market History, 2014). This foursome invested in a market that some thought would not survive because of the eclectic food types, catering to upper-income individuals, and the higher food prices. However, history proved differently.
Whole Foods Market's first retail location was in Austin, Texas. Today there are 342 stores in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The growth of this health-conscious conglomerate happened over the years by strategic acquisitions of profitable independent stores throughout the United States. Mackey's idealism and respect are exhibited in his openness about the contributions of these retailers to the success of WFM, as the website provides an in-depth summary of each acquisition and its contribution to promoting healthier food choices (Whole Foods Market History, 2014). After four years in Austin, Texas WFM branched out into the city of Houston when it purchased the Whole Foods Company, and shortly after, on the west coast, a new store was built in Palo Alto, California. Subsequently, WFM began aggressive acquisitions over the next few years, which help to accelerate the growth rate of WFM in other geographical locations. In 2002 WFM opened in Canada and in 2004 through the acquisition of the United Kingdom's grocery chain Fresh & Wild, it opened seven stores. Holistic eating is a worldwide affair that WFM is taking advantage of.
What Does Whole Foods Market Sell?
The name WFM and organic are almost synonymous. The healthy choice retailer is known for its organic food choices from fruits and vegetables to an array of seafood and meat. The selection of produce is a careful one. Several criteria must be met, especially from agriculturalists providing organic produce. As explained on the WFM website, organic conceptualizes a technique that stresses using resources that are can be used repeatedly when treated properly such as soil. It further explains that it supports "Agricultural management practices that promote healthy eco-systems and prohibit the use of genetically engineered seeds or crops, sewage sludge, long-lasting pesticides, herbicides or fungicides" (Organic Food, 2014). The beef is grass-fed, pork is purchased from family farms that ensure certain standards are met, and the chickens are fed an organic diet and raised caged free. WFM carefully chooses its farmed raised seafood from reputable companies who adhered to their strict guidelines such as not adding additives to extend the shelf life or to add color enhancements. The same criteria extend to merchants delivering wild-caught seafood as well.
As far as their packaged, canned, and boxed foods a variety of healthier choices are available. WFM does not just sell healthy food, but also skin care, vitamins, soaps, paper products everything a traditional supermarket sells, but their items are carefully chosen to keep in mind the environment and that their consumers are savvy when it comes to labeling and ingredients. WFM also offers a hot buffet of cooked foods, and some locations have full-service restaurants. Although the food prices are 10% to 30% higher it does not dissuade loyal customers who understand that quality cost extra.
Supply Chain Value
The WFM supply chain begins with its customers and how best to satisfy their needs and make sure that they keep coming back again and again. WFM holds itself to specific quality standards and this is what drives its decision about which vendors to use as suppliers. In the agricultural arena, it begins with organic farmers. This is the foundation of the end delivery to the customer. WFM's vice president Margaret Wittenberg was selected to establish industry-wide organic standards in 1995 (Whole Foods Market History, 2014). Since then WFM has won awards for its high-quality standards in the organic food trade. These high standards also transfer to their seafood and meat suppliers. WFM does not have centralized suppliers (Whole Foods seeks local vendors for partnership, 2011). The vendors are regionalized and are at each store manager's discretion on which ones to use. While there are specific standards, but this is an opportunity for small vendors to get their products on the shelf of a local WFM. The employees at WFM are some of the highest-paid retail employees. Employees that are satisfied with their work environment result in the end goal of WFM of retaining loyal customers.
In 2013 their average hourly wage was $19.00 and their average salary just under $40,000 (Peterson, 2014). Customers not only enjoy the food, but they also like the eclectic culture which may vary from store to store or region to region.
However, opponents of using a decentralized supply structure believe that it undermines the overall profitability of WFM. They feel that other retailers who use a centralized supply approach are more competitive and will eventually undermine the profitability of WFM (Competitive Analysis of Whole Foods, Inc., 2010). However, thus far, the business acumen of treating vendors and employees as part of the WFM family has been a strategy that has worked. To make the vendor billing process easier, WFM has a vendor site and staff at its Austin, Texas headquarters dedicated to making the vendor process seamless.
Employees are an important asset to WFM and the investment the co-founder makes in them is obvious. They are some of the highest-paid retail employees and to prove it Mackey makes payroll information public. This has been met with criticism from internal and external parties. Mackey has been approached by employees asking why some at the same level are paid more and his answer was because they do more (Patton, 2013). However, employee retention at WFM is significantly higher when compared to other retail stores. Employees encourage the diverse atmosphere as they happily engage with the customers taking ownership of their personal contribution to each store.
Walter Robb shares the role of the other chief executive officer of WFM with Mackey. He also shares the same ideas that their employees bring significant value to the table. He considers that this is one of the secrets of their success. Creativity and flexibility are stressed to their seventy-eight thousand employees (Colvin, 2013). This openness to employee initiatives and ideas fosters a competitive work environment which is not just about a paycheck. Robb does not speak in terms of idealism, but realism as the top management can earn no more than nineteen times the average annual salary of their employees. This is a significant departure from what other CEOs and CFOs are paid which tops more than 500 times the average salary of their workers. Therefore, when Robb delivers the message to his employees that they are traveling together on this journey, it is a believable quest. WFM has honed in on the fact that achieving high levels of work quality only begins with salaries, but its longevity is steeped in how people are treated and appreciated.
While other retail turnover rates skyrocket at 100%, Robb notes that WFM's in only nine percent. In management, the turnover rate is three percent. Team building, Robb believes, directly impacts employee satisfaction (Colvin, 2013). Everyone belongs to a specific team, even CEOs Robb and Mackey. This fosters the concept of team building and the positive notion of teamwork. At WFM teams are awarded money for their efforts and they all share equally in bonuses. Empowering people are important as they are the front line of contact for WFM customers.
The strategy of WFM co-founder Mackey is to continue offering healthier options for its customers. The movement into Canada and the UK in the last few years lays the footprint for additional global expansion. Mackey intends to increase WFM to 1000 stores. The question is whether it will happen through acquisitions or new store locations. The answer, based on their history is a combination of both. The store in Canada opened in 2002. Since brand recognition is not as strong, the store struggled somewhat in the beginning; however, the expectation is that it will grow to one billion in the next ten years (Patton, 2013). The stores in the UK, which are in the greater London area, have received mixed receptions, and some stores are selling well while other locations are not. However, Mackey is not deterred and believes that longevity will produce the desired results.
Mackey acknowledges that Trader Joes is probably their most aggressive competitor, especially since some perceive their pricing to be lower. Conversely, WFM has answered back with its price strategy, developing a store brand organic line, 365 Foods. With the number of consumers demanding organic increasing over the years, major grocery chains like Kroger have added organic and specialty food choices to capture some of WFM customers. So have other stores like Wal-Mart and Meijer. However, ask any WFM loyalist and they will tell you that the product offering in these stores cannot stand up to the standards they are accustomed to. However, other holistic competitors such as Sprouts Farmers Market and The Fresh Market are showing that they are serious competitors as they cautiously add stores. Also, WFM stocks did not do as well as stockholders anticipated (Competitive Analysis of Whole Foods, Inc., 2010). This is because the comp-sales were lower than expected and the corporate forecasts dropped minor percentage points as well.
Mackey's partner and co-CEO Robb notes food pricing as the main barrier between WFM and other large retailers. However, over the years this has become less of an issue as their marketing efforts have been directed towards price competitiveness. While pricing for some may be an issue, quality is not. WFM does not have a standalone competitor that equals their product quality or line of products sold. WFM is the Audi or Mercedes Benz of food. The consumers that shop at Wal-Mart are probably not the same ones who shop at WFM. Colvin's in his Fortune Magazine article asks WFM CEO Robb if their customer is "Someone with a graduate degree, driving a Prius, with the radio on NPR. Accurate or off-base?" (Colvin, 2013). Robb answers affirming this is true, but that he expects their customer base to expand beyond this. However, affluent consumers are a significant part of the WFM customer base.
Quality the Foundation of WFM
The founder, now billionaire Mackey built his empire on the ethics of quality. This objective to promote excellence and non-conformity is the cornerstone of his success. A small vegetarian grocery store opening in 1978 has grown into the conglomerate seen today. Initially, Mackey's customer base complained that his prices were too high, even today some jokingly refer to WFM as Whole Paycheck because their prices are expensive (Collins, 2013). But Mackey's focus was a niche customer base and included people with similar health ideologies who were willing to pay extra to eat well.
WFM endorses healthy food, period. Their website not only promotes their brand, but it also encourages the benefits of eating healthy by detailing four main directives. The strategy here is to first explain what pure food eating means. Pure food has not been genetically modified (GMO), meaning that the original DNA of the food has not been changed or modified. Many conversations are going on about the long term health hazards of eating GMO foods. While WFM sells GMO products they are committed to clear labeling to assist those who want to avoid them. Pure food also has more nutrients and taste better. The website also discourages eating foods that contain artificial preservatives, additives, colorings, and hydrogenated oils. Other directives are to consume healthy fats, plant-based foods, and a diverse nutrient blend of foods. WFM has positioned itself as the expert thus making its customers feel secure about shopping there and paying higher prices.
What Does Not Work
While WFM is positioned as one big happy family, some see problems in their infrastructure. For example, they are anti-union and this is rather contradictory to their open culture. Mackey is on record as saying that "The union is like having herpes. It doesn't kill you, but it's unpleasant and inconvenient, and it stops a lot of people from becoming your lover" (Paumgarten, 2010). Mackey is known as a right-wing conservative who is in direct contrast to the free-spirited culture present in his WFM stores. Therefore his ultimate goal, as with most capitalists, is to make a profit, which may compromise his idealism. Some analysts predict that WFM has other retailers to worry about and should take it seriously.
While WFM boasts about its unparalleled quality standards, there have been food issues. For example, GMO labeling has only been enforced within the last two years. This is a significant concern considering that WFM touts itself the healthier alternative. There have been problems with mercury in seafood at California stores, E-coli in beef in 2008, and allowing farms to use non-organic pesticides (Bluejay, 2013). Some of these problems may be attributed to the decentralized approach of WFM. Also, not all of their produce is organic. WFM also has an extensive wine selection and also sells foods that are considered not exactly healthy such as cookies, candy, and potato chips.
The final analysis is the WFM story is a good one. The company will celebrate its thirty-fifth year in business next year. Mackey and Robb are agents of change and redirection when needed. The essence of why WFM began remains today in the philosophy of the company, and that is to give consumers healthier food choices.

Tribal chief calls for nonviolent mine opposition
By AP |
Posted: Fri 1:45 PM, Jul 12, 2013
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The head of an American Indian tribe is urging nonviolent opposition to the possible opening of an iron ore mine near their reservation in northern Wisconsin.
Mike Wiggins Jr., chairman of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, says the tribe condemns "any planned or improvised act of violence or vandalism" against the mining company.
Wiggins' written statement issued Friday comes at the end of a tense week that saw mining company Gogebic Taconite hire paramilitary style guards armed with high-powered rifles at the site in the Penokee Hills. The guards were removed on Wednesday because they did not have the required state license.
Wiggins says the tribe's opposition to the mine remains strong, but it will only condone nonviolent civil resistance as necessary.
ODANAH, Wis. (BAD RIVER TRIBE NEWS RELEASE) - According to Chairman Mike Wiggins, Jr., "Although we believe that the actions taken by Gogebic Taconite leading to the destruction of the Bad River headwaters and contamination of our surface and ground water resources would be criminal, we absolutely condemn any planned or improvised act of violence or vandalism against the industry or companies, and emphatically discourage any person to take part in any violent action," continued Mike Wiggins, " Nonviolent civil resistance, if necessary, has to be our response as ordinary citizens against extraordinary injustice. Large-scale mountain-top removal threatens the health and security of our communities, and nonviolent action proportional to the threat is required."
"The majority of people living within the Bad River Watershed do not welcome any mining-related activities in their community, including the recent addition of masked, armed guards operating illegally in northern Wisconsin. It is irresponsible to continue pursuing this project without the consent of the local communities that would be most affected by the blasting, toxic dust and perpetual water contamination associated with this project. Nothing in the state's new Iron Mining Bill contemplates how this massive project could affect our families' health and the deep connection we have to what are irreplaceable land and water resources."
The Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa continues to oppose any activities related to mining in the Penokee Hills. The Penokee Hills are the source for the nation's sacred water, which is also necessary for sustaining all life within the Bad River Watershed. An open-pit mountaintop removal mine – proposed by Gogebic Taconite LLC – would contaminate those sacred waters with sulfides and heavy metals for generations, threatening the health of the people and the delicate ecosystems treasured by those who live here.
The Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa encourages concerned citizens to freely exercise their constitutionally-protected rights of association and freedom of speech to raise awareness about the urgent nature of our plight, and as necessary, to engage in nonviolent civil resistance. Nonviolent civil resistance involves peaceful demonstrations in line with the transformative community organizing carried out by Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr., and is consistent with the seven Anishinabe values of: humility, love, honesty, truth, bravery, respect and wisdom.
With over 7,000 members, the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians is located on an over 124,000-acre reservation in an area within Ashland and Iron Counties on the south shore of Lake Superior (known by the tribe as Gichi Gami). The Ojibwe people have a long and rich heritage throughout the Great Lakes region and at Odanah on Lake Superior prior to European traders, missionaries and settlers. Treaties signed by eleven Ojibwe Tribes ceded territory in the region, including what is currently the upper one third of the State of Wisconsin. Learn more about the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians on their website, badriver-nsn.gov.

Super Mario Maker – A Pattern Emerges
February 29, 2016 6:47 pm Published by Solid Jack 1 Comment
With the constant stream of costumes released on a weekly basis, the Miketendo64 team have begun to notice a pattern and with Nintendo sticking to form, the pattern continues to hold and now we feel confident to speak out on it.
It all started with Professor E. Gadd of Luigi's Mansion fame. When he and his Paranormal Research course made their way to us, it was on the evening of the 4th of February for gamers in Northern America and the 5th for those of us in Europe and Japan and with his inclusion, a new row was created, #121-#130.
At first this was just the first event course and costume released in a couple of weeks, (Paranormal Research however didn't come alone as it was also joined by 4 Tokaigi 2016 Concert courses) but then exactly a week later, we got another event course, I Choose You! This new course didn't just give us one, but three new costumes as the Kanto starter Pokémon had made their way into Super Mario Maker. Again this seemed like a single event, unrelated to Professor E. Gadd because why would it be? The only reason the Pokémon starters made it into the game was because of the anniversary, but why release them when they did? It seemed odd to release them on the 11th/12th of February, considering as the Pokémon anniversary and re-release of the original games, wasn't due for another two and a bit weeks.
Original Source: MunchingOrange- YouTube
So there I was with this in mind, pondering the reason behind this and then came the next two costumes, Chitoge Kirisaki on the 18th/19th and Barbara the Bat on the 25th/26th of February. No longer do the release dates appear to be random, but more chosen by design. Sure we've had new courses release on Thursday evening/Friday morning, but never on a consistent weekly basis like we're having now and the relevance of this is should Nintendo continue to follow this pattern, it means we can expect to see the next four costumes released on the same weekly basis, meaning a new event course can be expected to arrive on the 3rd/4th of March, as well as on the 10th/11th with number #129 due out on the 17th/18th and the last one in the row, number #130 itself making its way to us on the 24th/25th of this month.
Admittedly, all of this is merely a speculated theory on our part, but for now it seems to be holding and the cool part is it means next week as well as being able to unlock the Wolf Link costume with our amiibo when we finally get it and our copy of the game, but we'll also get to play another event course too and that's just gravy.
Now why give you one theory when we can give you two as we've also been thinking about row #131 onwards, which we're dubbing amiibo row, a row specifically for amiibo exclusive character unlocks which will include Roy, Ryu, Wolf Link and Shadow Mewtwo and for anyone hoping for another update for Super Mario Maker, now might be a good time to listen up. From what we've seen of Wolf Link, the costume appears to be an amiibo exclusive, which will be the same for the other costumes, until May when an update will come out making these costumes able to be unlocked by clearing 100 Mario Challenge on expert mode again and again (just a theory).
Were Nintendo to do this right now, we would be able to start getting these costumes, but should they hold out, they can guarantee themselves some more amiibo sales and then a couple months down the line after this batch has acquired some sales, Nintendo will release a new update for the game that would enable players you didn't purchase the amiibos, the chance to unlock the costumes, but they will have to pay for them through blood, sweat and a whole lot of tears, a state in which expert mode made me undertake every time I played it.
We also theorise that this won't be a single event, as the same can be expected to happen again when Bayonetta, Cloud and Corrin come out, as well as other amiibos that come to light from this point onwards and we also believe Shovel Knight will make an appearance eventually, but not until Shovel Knight actually sees a 3DS and Wii U release in Japan.
Before we finish, we would just like to say that all of the above, is purely a theory on our part. You in no way have to believe it and are more than welcome to shoot it down and you're more than welcome to do so in the comments below, we merely ask you to at least consider it.
Till next time folks. You're never too old to get your GAME on!

I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to consider adding Mario Maker costumes would as hype-building marketing for other products and release them a few weeks before their relevant events. Like when they were revealing the Smash Bros characters on miiverse in conjunction with relevant game releases.

These are the attributes that come to mind in tasting the wines and food produced by top, terroir-driven winemakers and farm-to-table chefs the world over. In thls spirit, we at Cave Spring and Inn on the Twenty are honoured to welcome La Guardiense, one of the top grower cooperatives, not just in Italy, but in all of Europe.
In the post-war years, Campania was a strikingly poor agricultural region, with growers often forced to sell their grapes at a loss. La Guardiense, located in the region of Sannio-Benevento in Campania, was established in 1960 to provide a reliable market for local growers. It began with 33 members who wanted to control their own fate, and today there are 1,000 members farming 1,500 hectares. By training the growers in quality-oriented viticulture focused on Campania's indigenous Falanghina and Aglianico grapes, the winery has emerged as one of the pre-eminent producers of these now internationally acclaimed varieties.
Join us as we welcome La Guardiense winemaker Marco Giulioli for a collegial showdown between Cave Spring Riesling and Cabernet Franc from the Beamsville Bench and La Guardiense Falanghina and Aglianico from Sannio – all paired with an Italian-inspired, locally sourced menu created by In on the Twenty chef Sheila Polingga.
As a bonus, take home rare, back-vintage selections of Cave Spring wines, as well as arranging home delivery of a selection of La Guardiense wines imported exclusively for this event.


A wonderful welcome to visitors.

A taskforce which will directly support up to 80 organisations as they deliver significantly more affordable self-build and community-led homes across the UK.
To enable and increase enable the growth of affordable self-build housing schemes.
Better access to information, support, advice and technical expertise that is needed to progress a scheme.
Nacsba is leading the creation of an expert taskforce to enable the growth of affordable self-build housing schemes. The taskforce will directly support up to 80 organisations as they deliver significantly more affordable self-build and community-led homes across the UK. This taskforce will comprise of independent experts to provide bespoke advice to councils, community organisations and housing providers.
Nacsba estimates that recent legislative changes will mean more land will be allocated for affordable self-build and community-led homes. This could deliver between 5,000 to 10,000 additional homes by 2020; and by 2030 the taskforce could have helped boost output from current levels of around 12,000 homes a year to more than 30,000 a year.
This funding complements the success of previously funded work, which resulted in the launch of the Right to Build toolkit enabling more local authorities to help groups and individuals to create decent affordable homes, via methods of custom and self-build. The online toolkit houses case studies and briefing papers to support community groups and councils to identify land for this form of housing, how to engage with building developers and information on available finance products.

Downloading and Using eBooks from NAP
An ebook is one of two file formats that are intended to be used with e-reader devices and apps such as Amazon Kindle or Apple iBooks.
Why is an eBook better than a PDF?
A PDF is a digital representation of the print book, so while it can be loaded into most e-reader programs, it doesn't allow for resizable text or advanced, interactive functionality. The eBook is optimized for e-reader devices and apps, which means that it offers a much better digital reading experience than a PDF, including resizable text and interactive features (when available).
Where do I get eBook files?
eBook files are now available for a large number of reports on the NAP.edu website. If an eBook is available, you'll see the option to purchase it on the book page.

Consensus Study Report: Consensus Study Reports published by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine document the evidence-based consensus on the study's statement of task by an authoring committee of experts. Reports typically include findings, conclusions, and recommendations based on information gathered by the committee and the committee's deliberations. Each report has been subjected to a rigorous and independent peer-review process and it represents the position of the National Academies on the statement of task.
Institute of Medicine; Food and Nutrition Board; Panel on Dietary Reference Intakes for Electrolytes and Water; Standing Committee on the Scientific Evaluation of Dietary Reference Intakes
Dietary Reference Intakes for Water, Potassium, Sodium, Chloride, and Sulfate The Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) are quantitative estimates of nutrient intakes to be used for planning and assessing diets for healthy people. This new report, the sixth in a series of reports presenting dietary reference values for the intakes of nutrients by Americans and Canadians, establishes nutrient recommendations on water, potassium, and salt for health maintenance and the reduction of chronic disease risk. Dietary Reference Intakes for Water, Potassium, Sodium, Chloride, and Sulfate discusses in detail the role of water, potassium, salt, chloride, and sulfate in human physiology and health. The major findings in this book include the establishment of Adequate Intakes for total water (drinking water, beverages, and food), potassium, sodium, and chloride and the establishment of Tolerable Upper Intake levels for sodium and chloride. The book makes research recommendations for information needed to advance the understanding of human requirements for water and electrolytes, as well as adverse effects associated with the intake of excessive amounts of water, sodium, chloride, potassium, and sulfate. This book will be an invaluable reference for nutritionists, nutrition researchers, and food manufacturers.

This article is written by Shekhar Gupta, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor of this blog.
Directed by Raj Khosla, Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki (1978) was a Nutan-Vijay Anand-Asha Parekh starrer with the last named being the "Tulsi" of the plot. It's also known for Lataji's evergreen title song Main tulsi tere aangan ki – which is already on this Blog.
However, my favourite from this movie is the Lata-Asha duet "Chhap Tilak Sab Chheeni Re Mose Naina Milaayake"". It was originally written by the great Amir Khusro (1253-1325), the sufi mystic, musician, scholar and poet who is also considered to be the Father of Qawwali. His contribution to the development of the ghazal, hitherto little used in India, is particularly significant too. My boyhood friend and music connoisseur Akhilesh Shukla recently rekindled my interest in this number with a mention about its renedition by Ustad Zafar Husian Khan Badauni.
In the "Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki" version, lyricist Anand Bakshi has added a lovely couplet as a befitting prelude to set the stage for the emotions welling from high poetry of Chhap Tilak Sab Chheeni. He has also beautifully adopted Amir Khusro's traditional lyrics for the movie situation which shows the lover-duo debonair Deb Mukherjee and his love-smitten lady love Naini (played by Neeta Mehta) just when two village artists (Naaz and perhaps Geeta Behl) break into this number. The love-smitten Naini is inexorably drawn – and swept – into the vortex of the emotions flowing incessantly from this erotically romantic number, so exquisitely vocalized by the two nonpareil senior Mangeshkar sisters … and no less superbly tuned by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. It's a true delight to listen to and behold it unfolding on the screen!
Many have sung Amir Khusro's this particular composition. Somewhat closer to his original is the version rendered by Ustad Zafar Husian Khan Badauni which is available here. Then, Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan has sung it as qawaali which can be accessed on YouTube here.
11 Responses to "Chhap tilak sab chheeni re mose naina milaayke"
Many thanks for correcting the inaccuracy.
hey are not Kumari Naaz and Geeta Bahl.(Kumari Naaz performed another role in this movie and by this time, she was almost stopped roles that required dancing).Geeta Behl was the one who romances an aged Debh mukherjii.
Thanks, Prakashji, for the info.
That`s why I provided a audio link here, Atulji Hope It`s O.K.
I am a big fan of this Amir Khusrau song. I have heard it sung by Nusrat Fateh ali Khan and many others in the form of Qawwali. But this song was where I first heard it.
Pray, somebody enlighten me on the meaning of 'chaap tilak' which eludes me.
Poetic translation of "chhaap tilak sab chheeni re mose naina milaayke" would be "you've taken away my looks, my identity, by just a glance". "Chaap" is 'stamp' or identity; "tilak" relates to looks.
Thanks, Shekhar Ji, that makes sense.
In the write up above, I have mentioned that many have sung Chhap Tilak Sab Chheeni, and also provided the links to the versions by Ustad Zafar Husian Khan Badauni and Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Usman, my friend from Pakistan, has kindly mentioned about the version performed by Naheed Akhtar under the baton of Wazir Afzal.

Denzel Curry Announces New Album 'Melt My Eyez See Your Future'
Florida rapper Denzel Curry has announced his next album, Melt My Eyez See Your Future, with a Western-themed trailer. The trailer sees the artist walk through a vast desert as the clip ends with a list of credits, reminiscent of that at the end of a film, giving fans a glimpse of who they can expect to be featured on the LP.
The ending teases contributions and features from T-Pain, Thundercat, Rico Nasty, 6LACK, J.I.D., slowthai, Robert Glasper as well as Kenny Beats. Kenny Beats and Curry last linked up in 2020 for the release of their joint album Unlocked, which was followed by another remix album, Unlocked 1.5 last year. Melt My Eyez See Your Future is Curry's first solo album since Zuu, which was released in 2019. Curry has kept himself busy, dropping singles throughout 2021 including "Bad Luck" for DC Comics' Dark Knights: Death Metal soundtrack and "The Game" for Maden NFL 22's soundtrack.
No release date has been set for Melt My Eyez See Your Future.

HomeCJ Update – January 8, 2021
Investors Focus on Policy, Not Politics
The stock market opened the New Year with a thud rather than a bang. Monday's sell-off could be ascribed to uncertainty surrounding the Senate election in Georgia that could impart a significant change in current US fiscal policy. Adding to the suspense is the dramatic surge in COVID cases and hospitalizations, coupled with a slower than expected vaccination rate. Monday's unexpected election result officially ceded control of Congress to the Democrats and confirmed the completion of a "Blue Ripple" in the November election. This raised the prospect of a dramatic change in current fiscal policy and an imminent market consolidation. Instead, investors flocked into equities this week, taking the stock market to new record highs.
The S&P 500 led the parade, with the DOW in lockstep, while the NASDAQ trailed as some investors lightened exposure to Technology companies that might not fare well under the scrutiny of the new administration. That remains only speculation until the new president's 100-Day Agenda is revealed later this month. At that point, we should have an idea of what headwinds or tailwinds the economy and its markets will encounter during the next biennium. With the November election behind us, we'll do something we generally avoid, discuss politics. We rarely do this and only then as investors reviewing policy expectations.
At present, the only certainty regarding policy is the Fed's commitment to long-term monetary accommodation through low interest rates. As for fiscal policy, we're expecting to see multiple iterations of stimulus acting as a significant tailwind for the economy in the months ahead. That's music to investors' ears. Unfortunately, that stimulus will almost certainly be paid for through a restructuring of the taxation landscape, a headwind for business, employment, and investment in the longer run. Indications are that an increase in corporate taxes and higher capital gains taxes for individuals head the administration's To-Do list. History has taught us that the economy and the market respond in the negative to higher taxes. Our concern is that higher taxes, coupled with the current government-imposed pandemic restrictions will push full recovery further into the future and perhaps pull the economy back into a second recession.
No doubt, more fiscal stimulus is required and higher taxes will eventually have to pay for it. We're hopeful that a balance can be struck between the two that preserves a continued expansion of the economy as control over COVID-19 is attained. The timing of any significant change in tax policy is critical to averting a double-dip recession. Democrats have, by a razor's edge, gained control of the legislative process. However, the divergent priorities of Progressives and Centrists within that party have shaped competing agendas. The former promotes a broad wish list of social, economic, and environmental objectives to be achieved ASAP at any cost to the economy. The deficit of economic and historical literacy within that group is staggering. Centrists agree in principle with the objectives of that agenda but recognize the need to maintain a strong economy, driven by the private sector, while moving toward those objectives.
Obviously, we're in the Centrist camp and believe they hold the majority of seats in Congress. We hope to see a return of bipartisanship among moderates in Washington and extremists within the respective parties marginalized. We believe that's what investors envisioned this week as they took the S&P 500 to a new record high. We'll have to wait months to determine if that proves to be the case. In the meantime, we'll be keeping an eye on moderates like Joe Manchin, Democrat senator from West Virginia. He's among those who could lead the charge toward a renewal of bipartisan policy formation. Stay tuned.

Джованни Бойне (, 2 сентября 1887, Финале-Лигуре — 16 мая 1917, Порто-Маурицио, Империя, Лигурия) — итальянский  и , , бывший футурист, перешедший к реализму.

Участник модернистского движения, возникшего при журнале Rinnovamente и идеалистического движения Voce . Позже, дистанцировался от них, так как ему не нравилась склонность идеализма переходить в действие. Бойне был одним из самых видных представителей литературы, отражающей психологический кризис своего времени.

Его лучшие романы — «Il peccato ed altre cose» (1913), где Бойне рисует молодое поколение итальянской провинции, «Discorsi militari» (1914) и «La ferita non chiusa» (1921).

Автор ряда статей об искусстве, изданных под заглавием «Frantumi seguiti da Plausi e Botte» (1918—1921).

Q: How can I make empty circle on baseball out count? I am making baseball outcount code based on FoodTracker source code. Here's my code but empty circle doesn't count in this code. How can I make the empty circle rating? I would appreciate if you guys can help me out. Thank you!!
///////
import UIKit

class RatingControl: UIView {
    // MARK: Properties

    var rating = 0 {
        didSet {
            setNeedsLayout()
        }
    }
    var ratingButtons = [UIButton]()
    var spacing = 3
    var circles = 3

    // MARK: Initialization

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)

        let filledCircleImage = UIImage(named: "checkedRed")
        let emptyCircleImage = UIImage(named: "UncheckedRed")

        for _ in 0..<3 {
            let button = UIButton()

            button.setImage(emptyCircleImage, forState: .Normal)
            button.setImage(filledCircleImage, forState: .Selected)
            button.setImage(filledCircleImage, forState: [.Highlighted, .Selected])

            button.adjustsImageWhenHighlighted = false

            button.addTarget(self, action: "ratingButtonTapped:", forControlEvents: .TouchDown)
            ratingButtons += [button]
            addSubview(button)
        }
    }

    override func layoutSubviews() {
        // Set the button's width and height to a square the size of the frame's height.
        let buttonSize = Int(frame.size.height)
        var buttonFrame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: buttonSize, height: buttonSize)

        // Offset each button's origin by the length of the button plus spacing.
        for (index, button) in ratingButtons.enumerate() {
            buttonFrame.origin.x = CGFloat(index * (buttonSize + spacing))
            button.frame = buttonFrame
        }
        updateButtonSelectionStates()
    }

    override func intrinsicContentSize() -> CGSize {
        let buttonSize = Int(frame.size.height)
        let width = (buttonSize + spacing) * circles

        return CGSize(width: width, height: buttonSize)
    }

    // MARK: Button Action

    func ratingButtonTapped(button: UIButton) {

            rating = ratingButtons.indexOf(button)! + 1
            updateButtonSelectionStates()

           }

    func updateButtonSelectionStates() {
        for (index, button) in ratingButtons.enumerate() {
            // If the index of a button is less than the rating, that button should be selected.
            button.selected = index < rating
        }
    }
}

A: if you want zero to count then return 0 as a possible button action. Your rating is already set to zero so technically it does count. If you accidentally tap the first circle and want to undo it you can try something like this in ratingButtonTapped
//rating = ratingButtons.index(of: button)! + 1
rating = (rating == 1) && (ratingButtons.index(of: button) == 0) ? 0 : (ratingButtons.index(of: button)! + 1)

Veteran bomber finally honoured for feeding starving Dutch people in 1945
Ivor had no idea he was eligible for the medal commending his actions
Rachael Dodd
Never miss a big story in Plymouth again with our daily newsletters
A veteran bomber has been awarded a medal for dropping food parcels to starving Dutch people during World War Two.
Ivor Foster, from Plymstock, was one of many brave 'bomber boys' in Bomber Command.
He signed up in 1943 to fight for his country and by the age of 19 he was a gunner with Bomber Command - risking his life on a daily basis to rain bombs down on Nazi-occupied Europe.
But Ivor and his crew were also sent on compassionate missions - dropping 7,000lb of food to the people of Holland.
During the Dutch famine of 1944-45, around 22,000 people died of starvation after German blockades cut off fuel and food shipments to the country.
The Kingdom of the Netherlands has awarded Ivor Foster a medal for a humanitarian Bomber Command mission in 1945
"We were helping people who had suffered during the war," Ivor said.
"When the bomb doors opened we could see all the people below. You can't imagine it, but it was left to go down. The boffins sorted it out - it was all packed in threes.
"They would throttle back as far as they could and they reckoned at that height two would survive and one would split.
The random pipes all over Plymouth with a very smelly history
"That height was lovely - certainly a change from 20,000 feet. You could see everything going on.
"It was a massive area we went over - no trees or anything but you could see the people running out."
The RAF Operation Manna delivered some 6,680 tons of food in total from drops of 500 feet.
Ivor Foster's medal and log book detailing all his missions with Bomber Command
Ivor and his crew also picked up prisoners of war and brought them home, carrying 24 men at a time who kissed the green grass at their feet when the wheels touched down in England.
Ivor was one of 125,000 aircrew who flew with Bomber Command during World War Two. He was one of the lucky few to survive service in Bomber Command - 55,573 of his colleagues were killed in action. The chance of completing an operation tour were around one in three.
The incredible history of one of Plymouth's oldest streets
Ivor has been fighting for some time for Bomber Command's deeds to be recognised with a medal, but he had no idea he was owed a medal from the Dutch government for his part in Manna.
"My friend Bill sent out an email and I'd never heard of that medal. Then out of the blue it arrived," Ivor said.
Ivor was proud to receive his medal
"It represents the gratitude of the people of Holland. I'm proud to get it, they wanted to give us recognition of what we've done, but our own people have refused us."
RAF bomber crews had previously been awarded the Air Crew Europe Star for operational flying from bases in the UK over Europe from the outbreak of the Second World War (September 3, 1939) to 5 June 1944.
Plymouth's rudest places - and how they got their names
But after this date the medal ceased to be given, on Winston Churchill's orders.
After D-Day, Bomber crews were instead given the France and Germany Star which was awarded to every servicemen who fought in World War Two between 6 June 1944 and 8 May 1945.
Ivor Foster with his fellow crew
To add insult to injury, Ivor and his fellow 'Bomber Boys' faced demotion following the war.
In 1946 Ivor was promoted to warrant officer, but just two months later he was demoted to sergeant on an Air Ministry order. Any servicemen still serving 12 months later were demoted again to aircrewmen.
"I wasn't given a reason, that was just the way we were treated after the war," Ivor said.
One of the world's most famous prostitutes was born in Plymouth
"I was then in Iraq in charge of a bakery, butcher and slaughterhouse. One day I was a 'sir' the next a 'sergeant'.
"There's no doubt that Mr Churchill not only shunned the Bomber Boys of England, but also our colleagues in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, South Aftica and India who were all volunteers."
Ivor has now been fighting for years to have Bomber Command recognised, but he's not about to give up any time soon.

"I've been on to a number of people about the Bomber Command medal," he said.
"The nearest we got was when David Cameron asked Sir John Holmes to look into it as part of a military review on medals.

"He suggested that boys that went on the Russian convoy from the Navy and Merchant Navy would have an Atlantic medal and the Bomber Boys would just have the words 'Bomber Boy' on a piece of metal and you had to apply for it, you weren't awarded it.
"From D-Day to the end of the war Bomber Boys flew in far more dangerous conditions than 1939 to D-Day. If this Government cannot award us our rightly deserved Bomber Command Medal then at least award us the Air Crew Europe Star."

Delegation from North meets Bahaa Hariri in Cyprus
Bahaa Hariri
"We need a leader who completes the path of martyr Prime Minister Rafik Hariri". This is the most prominent statement of the delegation coming from the north, during their meeting with Sheikh Bahaa El-Din Rafik Hariri in the Cypriot city of Larnaca.
The delegation coming from Tripoli, Akkar, Minyeh and Dennieh included mayors, unions of municipalities, businessmen, doctors and lawyers, in addition to figures and dignitaries from Arab clans.
The delegation called on Hariri to return to the political arena, stressing their support for the rescue plan he had drawn up.
In turn, Sheikh Bahaa Hariri reaffirmed his continuation of supporting the Lebanese people at various levels, promising to launch a group of projects in the interest of the country and its people.

How Ski Resorts Are Making Learning to Ski More Fun
TravelUSA
McCoy Park is simply one among the mid- to high-elevation zones that resorts are creating to be certain beginners and intermediates have a very good time and change into repeat customers. This season, Steamboat in Colorado is opening a learning area, Greenhorn Ranch, on the mid-station of the brand new Wild Blue gondola. Also in Colorado, Copper Mountain has been fine-tuning its Western Territory, where the runs off the Timberline and Lumberjack lifts are all green and blue. Copper Mountain advantages from a geological quirk that had concentrated a lot of the gentle terrain on its west side, however the resort has also given nature a little bit of a push, cutting, for instance, gently graded trails to bypass flat traverses that were proving problematic for newcomers. It has also strategically improved its amenities.
"There are food and bathrooms in those areas, so newer skiers don't should travel as far to make use of them," Todd Casey, a Copper ski instructor and staff trainer, said. "Experts are going to be like, 'I'm just going to ski right down to the underside, use the facilities and be gone again.' But that might be an hour's journey for beginners, so we attempt to be certain now we have those options available for them on the mountain."
Rethinking the bottom map
Many resorts have grown in a haphazard way over the a long time: adding a lift here, a dining hut there. Now, many attempt to think more holistically and integrate the assorted parts of their operations as easily as possible. While smaller hills still kick it old style — and that may be a big a part of their charm — most of the larger resorts are putting a whole lot of thought, effort and money into making the method more user-friendly, especially for those latest to snow.
So the bus from the parking zone now stops near the rental shop, "after which the ski-school meeting area is near that," Mr. Casey said. "We attempt to walk beginners through the method from the rental shop on: In the event that they signed up for a lesson, we attempt to put an instructor within the shop while they get their gear."
Employees, from ski instructors to the groomers who run the massive machinery, also have to be on the identical wavelength to maximise their efforts and be certain, for instance, that areas favored by beginner lessons are well groomed. "Ski instructors like to check with people, that's what they do for a living, but cat operators don't prefer to talk — that's why they work in the course of the night by themselves," Mr. Hession said. "So a whole lot of the work we do helps people listen and check with one another."
The payoff is to make newcomers understand that snow sports could be a lifelong pleasure, and one among the rare pastimes that will be enjoyed by many generations together. "It's so critical that we make our processes easier to navigate and that we stay patient," said Adrienne Saia Isaac, the director of selling and communications for the National Ski Areas Association. "We were all latest at something at one point!"

The Classic woman (AKA the Refined Beauty) is a well-organized manager. She's a take-charge kind of gal who excels in administration with great authority. Instruction and correction come naturally for her and she takes the time to study the details of her interests.
She is tenacious and determined.
Many Classic are highly educated professionals and need their image to reflect their position. High quality, tailored looks compliment her clothing personality as well as her career requirements, whether she is an accountant, lawyer, CEO or administrator, refined styles are her best look.
Because this highly respected woman of prestige takes responsibility seriously, is so independent and values privacy so deeply, she often misses out on fun because her friends assume she would not want to "play" with them. This doesn't seem to bother her the way it does other women, at least not on the surface, because there's a big part of her that prefers to keep a low profile no matter how high her position. Besides, she likes things done properly and when it comes to "playtime" the part of that is compelled to make things better can squelch the part of her that wants to let loose.
Those that don't understand her passion may consider her stuck in her ways, or think she makes things overcomplicated but we can all learn a lot from this woman's self-discipline and good habits. A mature Classic woman is like an unfolded rose, who has so much beauty to offer the world. Like a rose, however, she does need time to open up.
It seems self-care is the area of most of her Beauty Battles. When she is facing Confidence Conflicts, she may dig her heals in to get her needs met, which may give her opposite results.
Most lessons that are hard to learn are the ones we learn the best. When the Classic finds peace with herself she becomes a woman of true Beauty in Balance. Instead of demanding help, or insisting she help others, she walks the tight rope with ease and elegance. She cares for her own needs without apology and respectfully offers herself to others without insistence.
If you are a Classic, you are an elegant woman of prestige who likes to do things right. Your image should elegantly reflect that prestige with modest professionalism.
Remember: "First impressions are lasting impressions." When you expect high standards of yourself, others assume that you expect the same of them, and they may feel intimidated by that. Don't compromise who you are, but be sure to give others the freedom to be who they are, too. When you are not working, Relax a little with your formalities. A good place to start is with your image.
Caution: By definition, "Classic" does not change much over the years, and because of this, you may not be concerned about your wardrobe being up to date. Typically, Classics do not shop often. Be careful not to let your wardrobe get outdated, or you will give the impression that you are stuck in your ways.
Traditional and professional looks that are not too conservative.
Avoid any extremes: textures, lines, colors.
Choose fashion trends (not fads) to stay currant.
Coordinate everything from head to toe, including belts, bags and shoes.
Focus on a base (solid) color scheme, especially if money is limited.
