"We're reviving something that is meant to be part of this water," Peabody said. "That oyster bed that's now in development can help mitigate some of the (pollution) inputs as long as we're also doing our part on the land to control and manage those sources."
She said if people can see Liberty Bay as a living place full of living resources that are part of the heritage of the area it can be motivating and incentivizing for people to maintain clean water and make eco-friendly choices.
The United States Department of Agriculture is a major funder of the project and also funded last year's project in Sinclair Inlet. Rachel Maggi, area biologist for Natural Resources Conservation Service of USDA, said her branch is expanding its role in aquaculture.
"It's not just a one-year benefit. That's the beautiful thing is we're replacing this habitat and it's going to remain hopefully into perpetuity," Maggi said. "It's really important that NRCS tries to service all aspects of agriculture in Washington state."
The permitting for these types of projects can be complex and lengthy. Nam Siu, habitat biologist for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, said recent state laws have allowed WDFW to sponsor oyster and kelp projects, which help streamline the permit process. This means WDFW vouches that the project will have habitat benefits. WDFW also owns some of the land where the projects take place.
"Typically with a lot of these projects it's reviewed and scrutinized the same way a development project would be, which certainly shouldn't be the case because it's restoration," Siu said.
Peabody said it's the partnerships that make these projects happen. The city of Poulsbo, the Suquamish Tribe, WDFW and USDA are some that helped with the Liberty Bay oyster restoration.

Allison Gollust is an American media executive. She worked as an executive vice president and the chief marketing officer of CNN Worldwide until February 2022. Gollust was director of communications for Andrew Cuomo from October 2012 to March 2013.

Career
Gollust worked as a news anchor, reporter, and producer in Denver, Colorado. In 1997, she became a senior publicist for the Today show. Gollust later led communications for MSNBC, NBC News, CNBC, and The Weather Channel. She became a chief spokeswoman and executive vice president of corporate communications at NBCUniversal.

In October 2012, New York governor Andrew Cuomo named Gollust as his communications director, replacing Richard Bamberger. She left her role on March 1, 2013 to join CNN Worldwide. In February 2022, Gollust resigned from CNN after a probe found she had violated company policies.

CNN

Gollust was the executive vice-president and chief marketing officer at CNN. In February 2021, Gollust was seen as a candidate to succeed Jeff Zucker if he stepped down as the CNN president. On February 3, 2022, Rolling Stone, citing an anonymous source, reported that Gollust and Zucker advised governor Andrew Cuomo on how to respond to Donald Trump's criticisms of Cuomo. This appeared to breach journalistic ethics. On February 15, 2022, Jason Kilar, the CEO of CNN parent company WarnerMedia, stated in a memo that Gollust resigned from CNN after a WarnerMedia commissioned investigation "performed by a third-party law firm and led by a former federal judge" found that she violated "Company policies, including CNN's News Standards and Practices." The investigation was "commissioned in September" and concluded the weekend before she resigned.

Personal life
In 2013, Gollust lived in Manhattan with her husband and two daughters. Gollust and her husband divorced in 2015.

Relationship with Jeff Zucker
In February 2022, Gollust and Zucker announced that they had a public and personal relationship that had turned romantic. Despite claiming that her sexual relationship with the CNN president developed in the past two or three years by that point in time, allegedly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many media personalities repudiated this claim of hers as a "lie" by saying that their controversial relationship had been known for far longer than that. For example, in her 2021 memoir book titled Going There, Katie Couric asserts that both Gollust and Zucker had engaged in "inappropriate behavior" that was an "open secret" for nearly ten years. It is believed by many people that their controversial relationship began as an extramarital affair.

The kitchen is that part of the house you end up being in more than you usually think. Whether it's to make a late night snack, morning breakfast, afternoon tea or your regular lunch. A full house will have its kitchen occupied around the clock.
I promised to take you on a journey that will show you how to build your dream kitchen. So let's explore together the complexity of this space, and break it down into smaller, more digestible steps.
Laura kitchen by Kitchens & Co.
Our journey begins with locating your kitchen space. Ever wonder whether your kitchen is in the right place? Ever think that had it been swapped with the adjacent room, things would've been more convenient?
If you're about to build your own house, we'll discuss the criteria essential to locating your kitchen. And if you're buying a new apartment or house where the space has been predefined, then you need to evaluate the current kitchen's placement and see if any changes might be necessary. The three main criteria that affect the kitchen location most are: kitchen-site relations, kitchen adjacency and internal space definition.
It's extremely important to locate your kitchen in relation to where your house is being built and your lifestyle. Whether it's your main house in Cairo, or a summer house by the beach, you need to be aware of the four compass directions as well as your building orientation, in order to locate the best spot for your kitchen.
You don't want your kitchen without natural light. Therefore always consider the southern part of your house for the kitchen. This way you'll always have sunlight in your kitchen all year-long*.
Bauformat kitchen by Kitchens & Co.
If you use your kitchen during early mornings and would like to enjoy the earlier rays, consider placing your kitchen in the southeast part. If you'd rather witness the golden hour later in the afternoon, then have your kitchen be in the southwest part instead.
Keep in mind that due to the changing position of the sun throughout the seasons, more direct light will flood your kitchen during the winter if it's placed in the southern part of the house.
If you have a special view on your site, such as greenery or a lake, always plan your house with the kitchen overlooking this view. Otherwise you might regret not being able to enjoy the scenery while preparing or having your morning breakfast for instance.
There's a reason why the kitchen space is called the heart of the house. There are rooms that must be adjacent to the kitchen, and others nearby, for things to be convenient and comfortable.
What I call primary adjacency, is when it's necessary to have these spaces adjacent to the kitchen. Spaces of primary adjacency are the dining space and outdoor, such as a garage, parking or porch.
While the spaces of secondary adjacency are your living room, back porch or your outdoor living for instance. It's also convenient to keep a bathroom and the bedrooms of close proximity.
You're still a long way from building your dream kitchen, so to make things easier, below are some architectural guidelines you should follow to save yourself a lot of hassle in the future.
Avoid curvy walls. Save this nice front round facade for some other space. It's almost impossible to furnish a kitchen with concave internal walls.
Avoid out of square spaces. Plan your internal walls to incubate the kitchen with 90 degree angled walls. Non right angles will result in wasting storage space once you start furnishing your kitchen.
Don't plan too many doors and passages in your kitchen. If it's necessary to have these connections, consider knocking down some walls and opening up your kitchen space.
Never plan a free column in the center of your kitchen. You'll have trouble defining your work zones and setting circulation paths later on.
Sounds a bit complicated? Lots of things to keep in mind that aren't very easy to fully digest, I know. Finding the right spot for your kitchen isn't an easy topic. But hey, you want the perfect kitchen, don't you?
* Note that Egypt's sun could be a bit harsh sometimes. Too much direct sunlight for long hours without shades may result in a change of color to your kitchen furniture. We'll talk about the solution later on in our journey.

We live in a tiny quiet rural village in South Devon, UK, with many animals including donkeys, chickens and ducks. We had hoped to buy a second home for many years, and made several unsuccessful house-hunting trips to Spain. We are lucky enough to live in a beautiful thatched farmhouse that we love and we wanted to find a special property that we could make a true second home in the sun. We tried to avoid a new unit on a pueblo style urbanisation at all costs! Since first owning La Marina in 2006 we have had great fun and satisfaction improving the house and garden to create our ideal holiday home. Since we first bought the property we have made substantal improvements to the villa, including extra bedrooms, new bathrooms and kitchen. We also added pool heating, air conditioning and many other home comforts. We have tried to make it our real second home. As our work at home is very seasonal, we usually stay in the villa in Autumn and Spring, the wonderful climate means that we are able to really enjoy the outdoor life whenever we are there.
We initially stayed with friends at their house in Moraira, we loved the area so much, that 2 months later we had bought Villa La Marina. Moraira had everything we were looking for that was lacking in other Spanish Costas. This beautiful working fishing village has a friendly village atmosphere, wonderful scenery, no high rise building and plenty of local character. Our villa, with great sea and mountain views is a very short stroll to the beaches, shops, and restaurants. We rarely use the car there. We are very happy to see our children enjoying the freedom of this charming village – a friendly and safe place. Only 2 hours from the UK. A great location to explore SE Spain – About an hour to stylish Valencia or Alicante, 30 Minutes to Benidorm with theme parks, shopping, golf courses, or up into the hills to see rural Spain too.
Location, location, location. Villa La Marina boasts fabulous panoramic sea and mountain views that many guests comment on and remember. It is in an ideal position to walk into the village or to the the beaches. The villa and garden, designed with a great deal of thought and enthusiasm – we are a family of keen gardeners and artists, enjoying refurbishing this traditional villa. The heated pool, terraces - with both sun and shade, table tennis, with a new barbecue and many outdoor dining spaces mean that guests often spend most of their stay at the villa. It has been furnished in eclectic style with Moorish furniture and decorations that you see only in the Mediterranean. It is very private and safe villa in a totally walled garden with electric gates at the end of a cul-de-sac.
Both double bedrooms have their own ensuite facilities. The 2 twin bedrooms share the main family bathroom.
We have amazing sea and mountain views from the villa. It is a very short walk to 2 separate sandy beaches.
There are great views of the Sierra Bernia mountains from the villa.
Just checkout our pictures and you can see the sea for yourself. It is a very easy walk to either of the 2 local beaches.
Moraira has everything you may want during your holiday, great beaches, restaurants and shops.
It is only a short drive to explore the inland Costa, the mountains, valleys, almond orchards and orange groves are worth the trip.

These courts are exclusive to residents and guests on Pla Del Mar. Pla Del Mar is an exclusive residential development close to the town and beaches, which is both quiet and secure.
This was our second visit to Villa La Marina, we stayed for three weeks again. We love the location, easy walking distance to the marina, the town centre and to El Portet beach. The heated pool is a godsend in winter. The kids play for hours whilst I can relax with a book by the pool!
Lovely comfortable beds too with, I believe new mattresses were put in shortly before we arrived.
Great WiFi and plenty of English tv channels which you do need in the winter months.
It sound like your holidaywas a great success, and we look forward to your next visit.
Anther fantastic stay at this beautiful villa!
We spent a week at the villa with our son (aged 2) and both sets of grandparents. As with our previous trip, we had a wonderful time. The villa is ideally located for both Moraira and El Portet beaches and we enjoyed many evenings on the beautiful terrace sipping cava. Sally and Mike have been excellent hosts and German and Almu were very attentive once we were there. We'd highly recommend it!
Thank you for your kind review Lucy, it is always great to get feedback on our guest's experience of our villa. September is a lovely time to be in Moraira.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your latest holiday at La Marina, and look forward to your next stay.
We were a party of 7. Two families with teenage children. I honestly cannot fault this beautiful villa, so much so that we had already decided to return bext year before the week was over!
The villa is spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need. They have thought of everything. A very spacious villa and pool area means that everyone can have there own space. The terrace is fabulous with a view to die for! Just a 10 min walk into Moraira where we found some super restaurants and an especially nice Gin bar. We have already earmarked several new ones to try next year too. In the opposite direction is a 10 mins walk to a beautiful little beach which was very family friendly with a lovely little cafe for a coffee in the morning. Sally and Mike couldn't be any more helpful, from recommending transfers from the airport to day trip suggestions. Looking forward to returning.
Thank you for your kind review, we are so pleased that you are returning next summer with your family.
We love the fact that the majority of our guests now regularly return to stay with us, enjoying the villa and Moraira as much as we do ourselves. Welcome to that club!
When we got to the Villa we had a lovely welcome pack waiting for us which we were grateful for as we arrived late. The Villa was exactly what we wanted. The Kitchen was very well equipped, the lounge was a good chill out area as was the veranda with its great sea views. All of the bedrooms were light and airy with good Air Con. We loved the pool, we couldn't get the children out of it.
We will always remember Villa La Marina and would like to thank Sally and Mike for being such great hosts. You have a lovely Villa in a lovely part of Spain.
Thank you for your kind review of Villa La Marina.
It sounds like you had the great family holiday that you were looking for when you first booked to stay with us.
We have tried to ensure that the villa has everything that we, and our guests are likely to need whilst there.
Every year we try to make improvemets to the villa, and are already making plans for the 2019 season.
Lovely villa, beautiful sea view in a very good location. The heated pool was a huge advantage for a young family, as it allowed the little ones to stay in the water longer. Would love to return. Thank you for a wonderful week. We have some very special family memories.
Perfect location, lovely facilities and a very relaxing holiday. Will be back.
We are so glad that it was everything that you wanted, and we look forward to your next stay.

During the forum, Bulgartransgaz reported that in the deep-water drilling of the Black Sea near Burgas, there are still no oil and gas.
Bulgaria has less than a year to build 484 km of new gas route from Provadia to Zaječar.
During the forum it became clear that there is still no oil and gas in the Black Sea deepwater drilling, which began on 1 April.
The main challenge for our country is by the end of the year to build the Bulgarian Turkish Stream route so that in the beginning of 2020 it can supply at least 3 billion cubic meters of blue fuel to Serbia and at the end of 2020 they should rise to 6 bln.
Volkan Ozdemir, chair at Institute for Energy Markets and Policies - Turkey, focuses on the geostrategic role of the pipeline.
Volkan Ozdemir, chair at Institute for Energy Markets and Policies - Turkey: "Turkey's flow is geopolitically important, its implementation will eliminate the risks for gas supplies across Ukraine."
Alexey Grivach, Russia's National Energy Security Fund: The main problem on the European and Balkan gas markets is politicization. It leads to unnecessary increases in the price of supplies, transit and end-users. Russian gas is an opportunity for Europe to diversify the energy supply traditionally provided by the Middle East. " However, the new gas pipeline is important for both Serbia and Hungary.

Not My Wife But With My Life
By Kerry Patton
Remember the days wearing the military uniform and listening to an array of ridiculous catch phrases we threw around like throwing candy to kids on the roads in Iraq and Afghanistan? I'm here to tell you, everything you heard was all bullshit. So we wore the uniform and we are supposed to be a "brotherhood" but unfortunately, if such were true, it's one of the most demented sibling relationships known to mankind.
Let me first say, if you are the type of guy who would trust another man to protect you and your life yet at the same time not trust that same man to be in a room, alone, without any sexual activities involved, with your wife, something is wrong. Think about that for a moment. Do you truly trust such an individual? You don't. And nor do you trust your significant other, either.
There is this thing called loyalty and unfortunately many, MANY, of those who wear and or wore the uniform have virtually nil. I hope the public is reading this as well because it's something they really need to understand. And why disclose such a thing that no one really wants to talk about–because we have become an incredibly disloyal system within the national security domain.
If the American public only knew how disloyal so many really are who wear the uniform. They often falsely believe we are this incredible patriotic group of war fighters which is also a farce. The majority who serve are far from such a thing. Think about it: How many people do you know who wear/wore the uniform that would do anything to NOT have to deploy downrange? We all saw it and likely saw it more often then we wish to disclose. But why have we seen it so often?
Truth be told, many who serve/d didn't give a damn about America or our national security. They went into the service for ulterior motives neglecting the number one reason to actually serve in the first place. Think about how many criminals we actually have wearing the uniform today.
The Armed Forces is full of dirtballs which includes even gang-bangers. In fact, in places like Fort Bragg, at least during the 90's and early 2000's, there are well over twenty different gangs running rampant on the base (I used to be a cop there, I know). You could see gang signs even pictured in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. Gang Graffiti could be seen on some of the jersey barriers in the Green Zone as well. I assure you such scum is not loyal patriotic Americans doing what they do purely out of love for country let alone the guy they are fighting alongside.
But the gang issue is one of the least of the worries pertaining this thing called loyalty. The main issue is the individual commitment to being loyal in the first place as well as staying loyal. Look around social media like Facebook and observe some of the military/veteran pages. The non-stop attacks on our own "brothers and sisters" (scoff at that term by the way) has become unprecedented. And there is always a leader or two leading the attacks knowing their conglomerate of "White Knights" will be quick to chime in berating the mark. And everyone thinks such persons are loyal to the leader until of course, the tide is turned.
Then we have veterans who leave the service to start a new life. Some move on forgetting about the nonsense they had to deal with while wearing the uniform and lead normal lives. Others start their own companies willing to hire other veterans knowing they can reach out to some folks down on their luck needing just that glimmer of hope. Unfortunately, the veteran business owner eventually pile drives them down on their skulls with shit talking behind said persons back, failing to pay for services rendered, threatening law suits, etc. Yet that vetrepanuer thrives in their own riches fucking over their buddy who assisted them in their success.
Then you have non-profits. The magnitude of non-profits in existence set to assist veterans is overwhelming. I have ran across several (which I will not name as I have already been threatened with law suits) that were started by veterans that turned out to be complete frauds. Sure, some on the surface do what they claim but underneath the puffy clouds and yellow sunshine you find not only unethical monetary endeavors but also illegal activities as well. It's gotten so bad; I will only donate and promote local charities these days excluding one or two national military friendly non-profits.
The whole attitude that we veterans are some awesome, tight knit, brotherhood is laughable. We walk around saying things like "I trust you with my life but not with my wife." Many will do anything to screw- over the next guy just to get a leg up on promotions. And worse, when we are down on our luck, many will actually take advantage of us and capitalize in means unfathomable.
Here is the good news. The vast majority of us veterans are amazingly brilliant and loyal mother fuckers—until you cross us then we are just amazingly brilliant capable in creating mayhem against you.
There are a few pages on social media that truly go out of their way to assist veterans in need. My favorite—Drink'n Bros Vigilant Guard—a social media page not affiliated with any non-profit organization capable in placing those in need with a local veteran willing to assist in a matter of minutes or hours at the most (yes, I recently saw this first hand and it was amazing).
Companies exist in which veterans own and operate that truly do stand by what they mean and will employ veterans in an attempt to give them opportunities to excel with pay and actual benefits—my buddies at Ranger Up and 9 Line Apparel are two I can think of without even batting an eye.
Non-profits exist and while I lack trust in the majority, I can say with certainty that Gallant Few is reputable willing to put their money where their mouth is and doesn't put its CEO's, President, whatever on a $300k salary like some non-profits we know yet shall not name here due to fear of legal bullshit they place on everyone who calls them out.
And you have individuals. Recently I posted a question to several pages on Facebook pertaining a worse nightmare scenario that went like this: If something were to happen to your most prized possession such as your wife or child, a violent incident by a violent perpetrator, what would you do? Allow our justice system to play out or become a vigilante and take things into your own hand. A buddy of mine said he knew he had "brothers" that would come to his aid. My reply was, "We think that, but truth be told, I firmly believe the majority whom we 'think' will come to our aide will never be seen. I know I can count on three to five though with certainty that they would be by my side…a number far from what I would like to assume would be there with us." His response? "You know, you're right, and for those of us who ever went into the suck (combat) we have all seen it first-hand where guy's true colors shine." What he was saying is, even in combat we have watched our own brothers turn into ostriches placing their heads in the sand until at least we put our boots up their asses.
Truth is, just because you wore the uniform, don't think that everyone is willing to have your back. In fact, several who once served would love nothing but to put a dagger through your spine. So what does this really mean? We are no different than our civilian counterparts.

Recently, some of the Southern Humorists got into a discussion about one of their favorite southern snacks - boiled peanuts.
It all started with Ben Baker,who recently decided to take offense at just about everything. "I briefly considered taking offense to Asa, but I figured he had enough offense to go around, so I won't be taking any to him. If he needs some boiled peanuts, I'll be happy to take some of them to him, if he pays for the gas."
Asa Sparks, difficult to offend, responded: "There's nothing like a bag of hot boiled peanuts. I usually use gas for defense rather than offense."
All the talk about boiled peanuts made Barbara Madden, living up yonder in the Ozarks, hungry.
"Oh, how I miss boiled peanuts. Folks around here are clueless to what they are. One problem is they don't know how to say boiled. They make it two syllables instead of one."
"I know. You say potaTOE, I say potaTUH. Or, in my case, you say MissouREE, I say MissouRAH."
"Anyway, I say boiled as in a softened boled, but here they say boyelled."
Linda Lightfoot pondered, "I know this may sound like a "blonde" question (read that: dingy) but how does one make boiled peanuts. I assume they must be in a raw, non-roasted state to do this. How long do you boil them? How do you tell if they're done? Do you boil them in the shell or out of the shell? I've always wanted to try boiled peanuts!"
Angela Gillaspie, quick on the draw with her recipe book, especially if it's a Southern food, said: "I have the recipe and answers to your questions here:"
Boiled peanuts are usually served as a snack, but they make a great substitute for dried cooked beans at any meal. They may be eaten hot, at room temperature, or chilled in the refrigerator and eaten cold, shelling as you eat them. They will keep in the refrigerator for several days, or they may be frozen.
Wash raw peanuts thoroughly in cool water; then soak in clean cool water for about 30 minutes before cooking. Put peanuts in a saucepan and cover completely with water. Because the shells of some peanuts absorb more salt than others, it's best to begin with 1 tablespoon of salt for each 2 cups of peanuts; you can add more salt to taste later.
"You should know that there is definitely an art to making boiled peanuts. I've tried unsuccessfully several times, so I buy them when I'm back home and freeze them," responded Barbara.
"Some grocers carry the canned version, and they will do in a pinch, but I don't recommend eating them on a regular basis. On the other hand, the last time I was home, I tried a commercially "bagged" brand that was very good."
Mr. Dave offered to share his secret source, "There's an older gentleman selling boiled peanuts out of the back of his pick-up in my little town. He's there everyday, reading his Louis L'Amour book, drinking coffee and bourbon, and selling fresh boiled peanuts. They're the best in the world. It might be the bourbon."
Ben was sort of sorry he brought the whole thing up by now, "You will be glad to know I am not taking offense to boiled peanuts. Then again, maybe you are annoyed to know this. Or, maybe you don't really care. Which also offends me."
"Also, boiled peanuts must be green - i.e. fresh and not dried out, cured or roasted. You can do it with dried goobers, but the quality just ain't there."
Susan Reinhardt was eatin' up all the peanut talk. "Oh, I'm so happy I'm not the only one who loves boiled peanuts. When we go to the Redneck Riviera - Myrtle Beach - my husband gets so mad cause we stop the car not to Pee - but for boiled peanut shacks on the roadside."
"Is this a southern or a Georgia thang?" asked Sheila Moss. " I know y'all have a corner on the peanut market down there. but boiling stuff just seems unpatriotic or unconfederate, at least. How's about a good fried peanuts recipe, preferably deep fried?"
Peanuts may be served fried.
Take a gallon or so of peanuts. Shell 'em if they are not shelled.
Heat a gallon or so of peanut oil good & hot (don't ask me about temperatures - I am a man and cook fried peanuts with a fish cooker. When the roar of the gas is just right I know it).
Wen the brown hue shifts slightly darker, the peanuts are done.
And that, in a nutshell, is the Southern-fried story of boiled peanuts.


ASABA – Four persons, who were reportedly kidnapped last week at Okurekpo village in Okpara Inland in Ethiope East Local Government Area of Delta State, have regained their freedom.
The victims were seized by gun wielding men when the vehicle they were traveling with broke down along the community road.
The victims namely, Blessing Ogujove, Ejiro Solomon and Akpos Thomas were freed on Monday 15, April 2019 about 9:pm after members of their families paid a ransom of N700, 000.
It was gathered that the only girl among them simply identified as Edijana Okro had earlier escaped from the abductors den two days after they were taken hostage.
The kidnap victims were drop off by the kidnappers at unknown location from where they found their way to Ovu before help came their way.
It was gathered that the victims were on their way to Okpara-waterside when their car had a flat tire along the Okurekpo junction between 1000 to 11:30 hours.
"The abductees were coming from Okpara inland heading toward Okpara-waterside when the gunmen waylaid them at Okurekpo junction. They stopped atbthe junction to change a flat tyre of the Jetta car they were traveling with.
"The jetty car with registration number No.UGH241EY was left in the scene. It was widely opened with tire, wheel spnanner left in the scene. It appears the attackers swooped on them", a local source said.

Don't believe what they tell you — St. Louis is an abundantly beautiful city.
Sometimes it's obvious — a grand city park, picturesque residential streets, churches and high-rises that punctuate the skyline. These are easy enough to recognize, for anyone who cares to look.
But beauty in post-industrial midwestern towns often is not conventional. It comes in forms that are elusive or ephemeral. Beyond the city's wonderfully variant red brick homes, beyond the easy beauty of the Art Museum and the universities and Union Station, beyond the gently rolling topography and abundant greenery, is another level of more unorthodox artistry. It is found in relics, ruins, remnants. It is scattered in places random and unlikely. It is found in industrial-age behemoths like the MacArthur Bridge; in the rapidly vanishing houses of the north side, lovely even in death; in the bizarre natural gas tanks scattered around the city (landmarks as sure and stable as the Arch); in the industrialized river, still wild and untamed as it rushes past neighborhoods a hundred years old. It is an attraction that cannot be explained by the merely picturesque. The city brims with such beauty, enough to sustain a lifetime's worth of looking.
I left Louisiana to do four years of undergraduate work at Washington University, and stayed in St. Louis for one year beyond that. I've since lived in Philadelphia for several years, and currently am in graduate school in Milwaukee. For several years I've kept track of the city's architecture at my site www.builtstlouis.net, sometimes noted for its depressingly negative portrayal of the city's physical condition. Hopefully this will offset that perception a bit, and demonstrate the affection I still feel for the city even years after I moved away.

Well, much in this world has changed since 2011. We've ditched the word "Immaculate," gone bi-coastal, and fallen in and out of lust with bone broth. And in that time, Dirt Candy has relocated to a larger and more polished venue downtown where the food is still very good and the logistics have gotten even better.
The biggest change? Size. Both restaurant and menu have expanded dramatically from their once scrappy, lean roots to an all-white, sprawling dining room featuring a bar and full, diverse menu. The most delightful addition? Brussels sprouts tacos. The most confusing one? A 20% administrative fee in lieu of a tip. We failed Intro to Econ, so we're going to forgo developing an opinion on that one. But the change that will take getting used to is the space. We had a little Stockholm Syndrome as we familiarized ourselves with the shiny new sign and high ceilings. Kind of like how I sometimes miss the bullies who tortured me in middle school, a piece of us longs for the wee little Dirt Candy where we used to wait months for a table.
We think we'll get over that pretty quickly though, and so should you. This spot has Girls' Night Out written all over it, but we encourage the gents to get down with it, too. It's not every day you can eat a hot dog that replaces meat with broccoli and find it f*cking wonderful.
This is what gets me out of bed in the morning. Spicy fried corn bread? Amanda Cohen gets it.
If you like to mainline mushrooms and want something light, you'll enjoy this. Otherwise, we recommend dabbling elsewhere. It's pretty, though!
The old classic still stands as a must-try. Two smoked and grilled broccoli stalks served like hot dogs with broccoli slaw and a flavorful mustard BBQ sauce.
Probably the most gorgeous and delicious thing on the revamped menu, these tacos are everything you wished those lettuce wraps at PF Chang's had been growing up. They're super fresh and come with a range of fancy accoutrements to dress your tacos with.


Lewis Black, the politically sharp comedian and famously grumpy commentator, figures most people have him pegged as an incurable lefty.
Not so, he says. And that goes for his fans, too.
"Oddly enough, I've got a big audience in the military," said Black in a telephone interview. "Everybody thinks they know what my political leanings are. People think you're supposed to lean one way or the other … People think I'm this raging liberal but that's kind of nonsense … I think what I'm about is the idiocy of authority.
"If anybody understands that, it's the military."
Black, who performs his stand-up show at the Ferguson Center for the Arts in Newport News on Thursday, Nov. 17, said he's bolstered his armed services following through a number of USO tours, including ones in Afghanistan and Iraq.
He said he's glad to be coming back to Hampton Roads, home to so many soldiers, sailors and airmen.
While he doesn't see himself as a spokesman for any particular ideology, Black is always glad to take pot shots at political nonsense. He got his big break doing just that on "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart.
In some ways, though, political humor is getting harder to do, he said. "It's like satirizing fiction. How do you make something that's already a satire a satire?"
Social issues now take up as much as two-thirds of his act. Legalizing pot, for example.
"It's just unbelievable to me, basically, how my generation just failed here," said the 63-year-old writer and comedian. "The least we could do is legalize pot. That was the one thing we said we would do when we were like 18. We didn't even do that.
"I don't care. I don't want to hear their arguments against it. They're silly. They're screaming about how the government needs to raise money. That's a way to raise money. So, get on it."
Black's also able to wring humor out of something as mundane and complicated as the American health care system.
"One of the great breakthroughs in this was to discover that people like me, who were taking [the drug] Chantix to quit smoking, there's no copay for that," he said. "These are people who want to quit. The health insurance companies, who care so much about our health, do not want to deal in prevention. Since they don't want to pay for that, maybe they would be interested in copaying for the cigarettes. Idiots."
For a man who trades in complaints, anger and frustration, the Silver Spring, Md., native is remarkably productive, energetic and creative.
A playwright by training, Black saw his latest work, "One Slight Hitch," produced at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts in July. In September, Comedy Central Records released a comedy CD called "The Prophet" which captures Black's comedy club act from back in 1990.
The old jokes are eerily relevant. "It shows that, basically, nothing's changed. Only the names. It's the same," Black said of "The Prophet." "I'm talking about Bush, Reagan — what they were like. Global warming, that kind of stuff. I'm talking about the Iraq war, only it's the first one."
This month, he's also hosting a comedy cruise through the Caribbean with a hand-picked lineup of other jokesters. Lew's Cruise visits Coco Cay, St. Thomas and St. Martin and features Kathleen Madigan, Mark Metcalf and Tim Wilson, among others.
Black's 2010 book, "I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas," is now out in paperback, just in time for the holidays. The depravity of the so-called "most wonderful time of the year" is a favorite subject for the comedian. He hosted a two-hour special, "Surviving the Holidays with Lewis Black," on the History Channel in 2009.
Black, a Jew, seems to enjoy venting his spleen over the excesses of commercial Christmas. "Christmas, it's really all year round," he said in the interview. "If you're wandering around a store in July, looking for Christmas decorations, chances are you need to see a doctor."
But that's not what "I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas" is about.
"In the end, it's about being single … I think that's the core," Black said. "I told the publisher, I'll do a Christmas book, but you're going to get a book about being single … It's the most family time of the year."
Black said the book was informed by years of experience as a bachelor. It's still what the holidays are like for him now.
"I start the day going to go see friends and their beautiful children. Then I think, 'What have I done? I have done nothing. I leave behind no one. I have not procreated. What have I done with my life?' "
The dark mind set doesn't persist, however.
"I spend all day with my friends and their families, then I go home alone, and I couldn't be happier," Black said. "When I close that door to my apartment, it lightens up. Nobody's asking me where I was or what I was doing."

Monopoly Guide to London for Tourists - An Introduction
The current Coronavirus pandemic has obviously affected everyone in many different ways, and like most of the world, we are currently in 'lockdown'.
Board games which had previously been languishing at the back of a cupboard have resurfaced, been dusted down and played once again. One of these is the UK version of Monopoly which, as I'm sure you know, is based around streets and areas in London. As we were playing the game the other day, it dawned on me that under the current climate and restrictions, this Monopoly board is as close as I'll get to wandering London's iconic streets for quite some time. Most of them I would ordinarily be showing people on a tour; Piccadilly, Trafalgar Square, Fleet Street, Whitehall, Pall Mall and Mayfair to name a few.
I also recalled how many times over the last decade on my walking tours that as I've walked down Strand, for instance, people have said "Oh, I only know the Strand from the Monopoly board …it's red isn't it?" The same comments have been made about Leicester Square (yellow), Bow Street (orange), Pall Mall (pink), Whitechapel Road (brown) and so on.
I had realised a long time ago that for first time visitors to London, planning their trip from somewhere on the other side of the globe, or even for UK residents coming down for a weekend, it's a daunting prospect. London is a vast metropolis with a population of just under 9 million people living in 32 boroughs (and the City of London), across just over 600 square miles. There are hundreds of museums, a host of tourist attractions spread far and wide, a myriad of hotels, bed and breakfasts and Air BnBs, thousands of restaurants, pubs and cafes, off the beaten path hidden gems, must-see tourist hot spots, super trendy hipster areas and places you might just want to avoid altogether.
In my correspondence with people who have contacted me about doing private walks, if appropriate, I've attempted to help them sift through some of this stuff and steer their decision making in terms of which areas they should stay in or which museums and attractions they should visit, explaining where the places are that they want to visit, how to get there and how best to structure their time. I've always thought I should endeavour to create something practical to help visitors to London who might be sitting at home trawling through the internet thinking "Where do I start?", but never known how best to structure it or indeed had the time or inclination.
As I was sitting looking at the Monopoly board the other day, I realised that this was the structure that had eluded me. The board is by no means exhaustive and omits vast swathes of London, but the streets and areas that are included are actually wonderfully suited to visitors to London and the things that might interest them.
And so it is …over the coming weeks and months (or however long it takes) I will post here my 'Monopoly Guide to London for Tourists'. Due to the real world geographical proximity of a number of the squares I will undoubtedly group some together, but will aim to provide an informative guide to each Monopoly square (property) and answer reasonably succinctly the following questions: Where is it? What's the story? (a brief historical note) How do I get there? Where would I stay? …and What's of interest? The last category will include museums, galleries, hidden gems, eateries, pubs, attractions or anything else I think you should see and do in that particular area. I'm going to include some hand drawn maps and at the end, a larger one to hopefully give some context of where all these places are in relation to each other and by proxy, their associated sights and places of interest.
I will approach each square on the board in the order they appear when playing the game and my intention is rather than each post being an in depth historical account, to be a fun, informative and useful tool for first-time visitors to London, as after all, it is these people I often have the pleasure of showing around London, and hope that in the not too distant future, will have that opportunity again.
In the meantime, I realise that this is a particularly challenging time, so wish everyone well.


On February 14, Todd took part in a webinar hosted by the Association of the Wall and Ceiling Industry. Focused on business succession planning, Todd looked at different options including family succession, employee succession and third party sales. He would go on to identify several roadblocks, both emotional and business-related, and gave advice on strategizing, telling attendees to start with a written chart that defines their goals. After discussing typical goals, Todd also discussed structuring a strategy, how to minimize family friction, and various issues related to gifts and taxes. He also examined several case studies of family businesses and how they dealt with succession.

Big Data, AI and Deep Learning – TOMRA Sorting Recycling's Ecomondo Unveil
'GAIN' Technology to Enhance Sensor Based Sorting of Wastes 2019-11-08 12:08:03
At this week's Ecomondo event in Rimini, Italy, TOMRA Sorting Recycling unveiled GAIN, a deep learning-based sorting technology for advanced accuracy of complex sorting tasks at high throughput rates.
TOMRA Recycling optical sorting Artificial Intelligence Robots sorting Ecomondo events
Officially launched at the Ecomondo exposition, TOMRA said that the new technology is part of its efforts to achieve a truly circular economy by eliminating waste and reusing limited natural resources, technologies such as TOMRA's sorting solutions will be essential.
"By bringing deep learning to our sorting technologies, TOMRA is adding further sophistication and effectiveness to its market-leading AUTOSORT sorting machines," explained Alessandro Granziera, Sales Manager for TOMRA Sorting Recycling in Italy.
"The GAIN technology will also help sorting machines adapt to new waste streams, which will be increasingly important as we move towards a circular economy," he continued.
Deep Learning Algorithms
TOMRA explained that deep learning, as a method of artificial intelligence (AI), enables computers to imitate human learning. Humans make associations with what they have seen before and what they are seeing now to identify various objects or materials. Machines are taught to do the same, but much faster.
TOMRA's machines have deployed artificial intelligence since the early days of sorting, but this technology has continually evolved and now GAIN Technology takes it to a new level with algorithms from the area of deep learning.
The company added that while classical machine learning requires features engineered by a domain expert, deep learning, which is a subset of machine learning, does not. It learns from thousands of images the particular types, which should be separated in the sorting task. Deep learning mimics the activity of large numbers of layers of neurons in the human brain to learn complex tasks. This way, during machine training, GAIN learns how to connect the artificial neurons to classify objects.
First application is sorting-out silicon cartridges
The first version of the GAIN technology to be released by TOMRA is specifically developed to eject PE-silicon cartridges from a polyethylene (PE) stream by using camera information. On grounds of silicon remaining in the cartridges, separating those cartridges from the wanted PE material is necessary in order to purify the sorting result.
In addition to detecting common forms of silicon cartridges, GAIN can also detect smaller double-cartridges, mostly used for two-component adhesives, as well as deformed or partly destroyed cartridges. Thanks to TOMRA's machines separating materials by air jets, even clustered cartridges can be sorted out, a task that even the fastest picking robot arms that are currently available on the market are struggling with.
The new technology was trained for this task with thousands of images and achieves an overall ejection of 99% of the cartridges using two systems in a sequence.
TOMRA Commitment to Enable 40% of Plastic Packaging Collectable for Recycling
At Our Ocean conference in Oslo, TOMRA President and CEO, Stefan Ranstrand recently launched a commitment to enable 40% of plastic packaging produced globally each year to be collected for recycling by 2030.

The company said that the system further enhance the performance of its sensor-based sorting machines and will be made available as an add-on option for its AUTOSORT machines. By classifying objects from sensor data, GAIN enables the sorting of objects which could previously not be separated with high levels of purity and without compromising the throughput speed of the AUTOSORT.

Dr. Christine McGinn, an ex-Navy surgeon, has vowed to offer free gender-confirmation surgery for transgender military patients.
McGinn told CNN's Michael Smerconish that she will still perform operations for patients already on her list despite President Donald Trump announcing a ban on transgender people in the military.
"If the commander-in-chief won't take care of our veterans, our veterans will. I will do surgery for free on the number of people that I have already lined up for surgery," McGinn, who is also transgender, told Smerconish.
McGinn says the cost of medical care for transgender people is one the military's budget can afford.
McGinn transitioned in 2000 while a senior flight surgeon at Willow Grove Naval Air Station. She was also nominated flight surgeon of the year for the U.S. Navy.


Injuries can counter the beneficial effects of sports participation at a young age if a child or adolescent is unable to continue to participate because of residual effects of injury. Independent of activity level, injuries represent a considerable problem for the athlete and can result in an increased potential for future disability and inactivity. Injuries are also referred to as one of the major reasons for athletes to drop out of sports. Systematic injury registrations at the youth and adolescent level have been performed in recreational sports to gain knowledge on injury risk, as well as on the most common and most severe sport specific injuries. However, information on injury risk of the young athlete competing in high level sports seems less available or unknown. This paper reviews the current knowledge on injury risk of the youth and adolescent elite athlete participating in sports presented in the Youth Olympic Games 2010. Apart from football, little is known on injury epidemiology among young elite athletes. Systematic injury surveillance of this highly competitive population is needed to monitor injuries, identify high risk sports, and ensure new knowledge on injury trends, which can form the basis for further research on injury risk factors, mechanisms, and in the final step, on injury prevention.
Injuries are also referred to as one of the major reasons for athletes to drop out of sports. A survey on former Norwegian female top level athletes, representing 38 sports, revealed that 24% of them chose to quit their careers because of injuries (Sundgot-Borgen, personal communication). Other studies, analysing the dropping out phenomena in sports due to injury, are limited primarily to gymnasts and implicate such injuries as anterior cruciate rupture and osteochondritis dissecans of the elbow joint in the early retirement of young athletes.8 As a consequence, many talented athletes choose or are forced to give up their promising sports careers.
Thus, to maximise the health benefits of lifelong sports and exercise, and to minimise the direct and indirect costs associated with injury, identifying athletes at high injury risk early and providing them with targeted tools to prevent sports injuries is a significant goal. Following the four-stage model of van Mechelen et al,9 injury epidemiology is the first step in the development of effective injury prevention strategies.
The International Olympic Committee has decided to create a new sporting event for young athletes, and the first Summer Youth Olympic Games will be held on 14–26 August 2010 in Singapore. The games will bring together around 3600 athletes, aged 14–18 years, from all over the world to participate in high level competitions. The programme of the Youth Olympic Games will include all the 26 sports scheduled on the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, but with a limited number of disciplines and events (table 1).
Systematic injury registrations at youth levels have been performed in recreational sports.11,–,17 However, little is known about the injury risk of the young athlete competing at high level sports. The aim of this paper was to review the current knowledge on injury risk of the youth and adolescent elite athlete competing in sports presented on the programme for the Youth Olympic Games 2010.
A comprehensive search in the literature was performed in the data bases PubMed, Medline, Cochrane and Embase using various combinations of the following key words over the years 1966 to March 2010: 'injury', 'injuries', 'youth', 'adolescent', 'athletes', 'elite', 'national level', 'sports', 'aquatics', 'swimming', 'diving', 'archery', 'athletics', 'badminton', 'basketball', 'boxing', 'canoe', 'cycling', 'equestrian', 'fencing', 'field hockey', 'football', 'gymnastics', 'handball', 'judo', 'kayak', 'modern pentathlon', 'rowing', 'sailing', 'shooting', 'table tennis', 'taekwondo', 'tennis', 'triathlon', 'volleyball', 'weightlifting', 'wrestling'.
An article was included in the search when the abstract was written in English and clearly expressed data on injury risk, or a full text version of a paper with relevant information on injury risk was available. Age of the participating athletes had to cover the predefined age range of 14–18 years, and athletes had to compete at the national or international level. Injury risk should be reported by injury incidence and ideally be obtained prospectively. However, articles describing prospective and retrospective data collection designs were included in this review. Other relevant articles were identified by cross-referencing the citation lists of articles selected from the electronic search. The search was limited to abstracts and articles published in peer-reviewed journals.
A total of 13 studies could be identified presenting data on injury risk of youth and adolescent elite athletes competing in football,18,–,25 rowing,26 field hockey,27 badminton28 and gymnastics29 30 (table 2). These five sports represent one fifth (19%) of all sports included in the Youth Olympic Games 2010.
In other words, while injury risk is well documented for the young elite football player, little or no information on injury risk is available for youth and adolescent elite athletes competing in the remaining Summer Olympic sports.
Data on injury risk in seasonal elite football revealed surprisingly high injury rates for 15- to 19-year-old French female football players.20 These figures reflect similar32 or even higher injury rates than recorded in adult elite level female football.33 34 The incidence of match injuries20 was also notably higher than match injury rates found among male youth and adolescent football players,23 suggesting that adolescent elite female football players are at high injury risk.
To sum up, the young elite athlete seems to be subjected to a high injury risk. However, the current knowledge on injury risk for this population is, apart from football, based on few and for the most part small studies. Large prospective investigations are needed in most sports.
The purpose of injury surveillance is to monitor injury trends and in a next step target injury control measures in an attempt to reduce injury risk.
To reach this goal, comprehensive injury surveillance studies have recently been conducted for top level adult athletes in single elite events including football,21 25 37 38 rugby,39,–,41 handball,42 athletics,43 beach volleyball44 and swimming.45 Injury surveillance studies have also been performed in large multisport events, such as the Olympic Games in Athens 200446 and in Beijing 2008,47 and the applied methods to collect injuries have been shown to be reliable and feasible.
With these systematic injury registrations, high risk sports will be identified, including their most common and most severe injuries. As, however, injury risk and patterns of young elite athletes may vary from their older professional counterparts, injury surveillance of young elite athletes is needed to gain knowledge about the injury risk among this highly competitive population.
The second step in the development of injury preventive strategies is to map the causes of injuries, and to identify their risk factors and mechanisms9; in football, knowledge from injury epidemiology has been used to follow-up football players further on injury risk factors48,–,51 and injury mechanisms.52,–,54 With increased knowledge on intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors, as well as the inciting event, athletes at high injury risk may be identified earlier in their careers and targeted to individualised injury prevention strategies. As a consequence, the risk of additional injuries, possible serious long term health consequences, and dropouts from sports can be decreased. However, this basic information on injury epidemiology is lacking for most of the other sports, selected for this review, and all the above will justify introducing comprehensive injury surveillance systems at the youth and adolescent elite sports level.
Based on the experiences from former injury surveillance during major multi sports events, such as the 2008 Olympics47 and, more recently, the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, arenas such as the new sports event for elite youths, the Youth Olympic Games, should be evaluated for establishing systematic injury surveillance in this population. The key to a meaningful epidemiology study lies in an organised data collection process with a coordinated effort from the sports medicine professionals, the coaches, and the athletes, and finally systematic analyses. Well designed prospective injury recording methods are strongly emphasised to minimise recall bias.
Apart from football, little knowledge is available on injury epidemiology among young elite athletes competing in sports that are programmed for the Summer Olympic Games. Systematic injury surveillance studies should be established in major multi sports events such as the Youth Olympics Games to monitor injury trends, identify high risk sports, and ensure new knowledge on injury trends which can form the basis for further research on injury risk factors, mechanisms, and, in the final step, injury prevention.

There aren't a lot of trends from the twentieth century that manage to keep from fading in and out of the haze of passing years. But hidden in plain sight among the refuse of the psychedelic late-sixties and the come-down of the seventies—the bell-bottoms, lava lamps, and shag carpeting—one can find hand-crafted, timeless pieces of furniture, sign posts of bygone days as surrealistic as a pillow, if one is willing to look. Luckily, Jon Estelita of MOXY Modern Mercantile has made it his mission to find them and bring them to you, showcasing them in funky-fresh displays that are oh so fine.
Since coming to Little Rock from San Francisco six years ago, Jon and his wife Laura have been operating MOXY in the SoMa neighborhood. The shop specializes in vintage home décor, furniture, and vintage-inspired accessories, all while catering to customers with an eye for quality.
MOXY isn't cluttered, like some vintage shops. Instead, Estelita walks the line between grandma's-living-room-kitsch and Haight-Ashbury-savoir-faire with great poise and more than enough comicality.
Inside, you'll find an assortment of off-kilter items, like vibrantly colored packs of gum with snappy catchphrases painted on the box, or a pillow shaped like a red Converse All-Star shoe. There are even manikins spread throughout the store in various states of being: one wearing a red graphic tee with a constable's hat to complete the ensemble; and another is just a pair of legs, sticking out of a vintage wheelbarrow precariously placed on the tippy-top of a display bookcase.
Estelita has created an inviting farm table set-up, inviting you into the shop.
An upward perspective at a display of towering chairs in MOXY.
Estelita's story begins when he was only five years old in his hometown of Moraga, Calif. His mother would return home after work to find all of his bedroom furniture in the hallway, because he was busy rearranging his room.
He attended St. Mary's College of California where he studied interpersonal communication and fine art, all the while working in a wine importing store called Grape Expectations. Upon graduating he landed a job with Macy's in San Francisco, first as manager and later as a member of the buying department, an aspect of retail whose mundane nature didn't exactly sit well with the young Estelita.
Eventually, though, budget cuts were made and he was laid off. Always the resourceful one, Estelita landed a job with Z Gallerie, a boutique on Haight Street, where he was quickly promoted from store manager to visual personnel, responsible for making eye-catching window displays in stores across the country, which is when things started to really take off.
Luckily for Rock City, Estelita happened to like the city after visiting his brother on a whim. The price of living here was a huge pull for him, plus, he found the city to have good vibes. "[My brother] lives in Hillcrest. It kind of reminded me a little bit of Berkeley, Calif. It's funky and Birkenstock-y with a lot of dogs and little cafes. So I felt like I was back home again in some way," he said.
Catch the fresh window displays at MOXY if you haven't been out yet. Spend time chatting and laughing with Estelita at the store on Tuesday – Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Thank you for featuring MOXY! Jon and Laura have helped shape the vibe of downtown SoMa with their fun shop and welcoming personalities. Easy to spend a day shopping, dining and relaxing in that neighborhood.
Great article on Moxy and Jon! Absolutely love the store, Jon and Lara have a keen eye!

Carmen Farfan began her Classical Guitar studies at the age of six. A prizewinner of national competitions, Carmen has performed in concerts throughout her native country of Venezuela and the United Kingdom. In 2011 she won first prize in the National Guitar Competition 'Alírio Díaz' and in 2014 won the National Guitar Competition of Angostura. In 2015 Carmen graduated as an Art Middle Technician (Guitar Performance) from the 'Voces de Carayaca' Arts School in Carayaca Venezuela.
Her regular participation in masterclasses with visiting international guitarists such as Matthew McAllister, José Antonio Escobar, Otto Tolonen, Lukasz Kuropaczewski, Luis Zea and Pavel Steidl, has helped enhance Carmen's learning and originally encouraged her to look outside of Venezuela to facilitate the next step in her education. In 2021 she graduated as a Bachelor of Music Performance (Hons), Classical Guitar from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Glasgow, thanks to the generous support of ABRSM.
Carmen is the first Venezuelan guitarist who has been given a full scholarship to study at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Carmen's education and experience entitle her to perform a broad range of repertoire and teach Classical Guitar and Music Theory at any level. She is currently living in London where she works as a freelance Classical Guitar performer and teacher.
