These HEALTHY Vegan Red Velvet Brownies are AMAZING! They are low-carb, sugar-free, gluten-free, low-fat, oil-free, and low-calorie – only 75 calories each!
They are fudgy and the absolute PERFECT velvetty brownie texture. I know that is a very personal subject – the perfect brownie texture.
Are you a gooey and chewy kind of brownie lover, or more of a cake-like brownie person? I like FUDGY. And kind of gooey. And moist! That is these.
And the red velvetty-ness makes them perfect for the holiday season!!
What is also pretty amazing about these deliciously fudgy and smooth Vegan Red Velvet Brownies is that in addition to being low-fat, sugar-free, gluten-free, oil-free and only 73 calories each , they are also loaded with veggies!!
Three different kinds to be exact, and you would never be able to tell… How's THAT for a brownie.
*Note: the Vitamix easily blends a raw beet, but if your blender doesn't then steam your beet first to soften before blending. Also, these are even better the day after you make them!!
2. Combine all ingredients in high-speed blender or food processor. Pour into mixing bowl, and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to let batter rest.
3. Pour into prepared baking dish, and bake for 35 minutes. The brownies will firm up as they cool.

I just (re)discovered the magic of beets and I've been obsessed with throwing them into everything I cook. I will definitely have to try these. Thanks!
I'm not sure where you got 73 calories from, these really have 157 calories each if you add up the macros.
I know what happened! Thank you so much for pointing this out. When I calculated this originally I forgot to use NET carbs for the erythritol (so that added in an extra 20g carbs per serving). I will update this now – thank you SO much!
Hiya! Making these today, just wondering if you know whether they would freeze okay or not?
Hmm. I've never tried, but I don't see why not. Maybe try freezing one before doing a whole batch just in case! Haha ????
I really love this recipe! I've made it two times now (subbing dates for the fruit sweetener) and from now on will be keeping beets and yellow squash on hand for whenever the mood for these strikes…!
Thanks so much for pointing this one out! I am really enjoying your recipes (made the Gingerbread Bars and the Cranberry Oat bars as well and loved them!), and looking forward to trying these other brownies too…!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Patience! I am soooo glad you're enjoying my recipes!!! Makes me so happy!
These are incredible. I lost my xanthan gum but used arrowroot, and never heard of "natural butter flavor" so left it out. I cut them into 16 pieces. Thank you!
Hi Linda! I'm so glad you discovered these! I just LOVE THEM. Totally fine to omit the natural butter flavor – I do half the time 🙂 Check out my Healthy Fudgy Brownies (https://www.vegannie.com/recipes/healthy-fudgy-brownies) They are very similar in texture and amazing as well! Thanks so much for your comment!
Hi, Annie! Didja know that u can buy veggies in powder form? Yup! And the ones I get fron Amazon have nothing else in the containers! No added ANYTHING!! Just, for instance, pure spinach powder or pure beet powder!
Wow!! How awesome! I didn't know that! Thank you for sharing!

(WOMENSENEWS)–Rosa Parks' most historic hour may have occurred on the bus in December 1955 but a moment that perhaps revealed more of her strength of character came 40 years later.
On Aug. 30, 1994, at the age of 81, Parks was mugged in her own home by a young black man, Joseph Skipper. Skipper broke down her back door and then claimed he had chased away an intruder. He asked for a tip. When Parks went upstairs to get her pocketbook, he followed her. She gave him the $3 he initially asked for, but he demanded more. When she refused, he proceeded to hit her.
He hit her again, punching her in the face and shaking her hard, and threatened to hurt her further. She relented and gave him all her money–$103. Hurt and badly shaken, she called Elaine Steele who lived across the street and had become a key source of support. Steele called the police who took 50 minutes to arrive. Meanwhile, the word went out that someone had mugged Parks.
With the nation eagerly consuming news of a black underclass, Parks' mugging served as a convenient metaphor for the decline of black youth and the degraded values of a new generation.
Skipper received an 8 to 15 year sentence and was transferred to an out-of-state prison for his own safety.
Her approach at 81 drew from her lifelong commitment to young people. "I hope to someday see an end to the conditions in our country that would make people want to hurt others." Similar to her frame on the 1967 riot, Parks believed that the ways to staunch individual acts of violence was to transform the structures of inequity that provided the ground in which they grew. Even as she regularly reminded young people of the importance of good character, hard work and motivation, Parks remained concentrated on changing the conditions that limited their ability to flourish.
The institute, like the youth wing of the Montgomery NAACP she had founded four decades earlier, sought to develop leadership skills within young people in order to bring them into the struggle for civil rights . . . The institute stressed self-respect, comportment and education for liberation to Detroit students. Black history for Parks had been one of the great transforming discoveries of her life and so the institute focused on exposing young people to black history and encouraging them recover their own family's history.
The institute sent young people both south and north through its "Pathways to Freedom" program to engage students in field research and immerse them in black history, including the opportunity to retrace the path of the Underground Railroad. Raymond had always regretted the lack of opportunity to get an education, so one key aspect of the institute's work was to provide college assistance. Parks saw a curriculum that stressed black pride and self-knowledge as a way to address the dropout problem affecting many black youth.

When an elected district attorney in Ohio can't see that Ariel Castro's gender-based crimes are civil rights violations, it's hard to hope that our legal system will do much to prevent such horrifying crimes from continuing.
Other highlights this month include the opening of a Rosa Parks statue, Pakistani teen hero Malala Yousafzai's message at the U.N. and WeNews' own satirical readings of anti-feminist writings on March 8.


The series explored why the U.S., which spends more per capita on health care than any other country, also has the highest rate of maternal mortality in the developed world.
"Lost Mothers" explored why the U.S., which spends more per capita on health care than any other country, also has the highest rate of maternal mortality in the developed world. With stories by ProPublica reporters Nina Martin, Adriana Gallardo and Annie Waldman, as well as NPR special correspondent Renee Montagne, their reporting called out those culpable and showed a way forward that could save lives and families that are too often destroyed by preventable tragedies.
The series included intimate narratives of mothers who perished after failing to receive basic care; data analysis that established beyond a doubt the greater risks faced by African-American women; and a first-of-its kind database of the personal stories behind this issue.
A key element of the project was a callout, asking people who knew someone who died or nearly died in pregnancy or childbirth to tell ProPublica their stories. Almost 4,500 readers responded, including 3,862 who said they had almost died themselves. These women shared their insights on everything from choosing a provider to grappling with the emotional fallout in a ProPublica article outlining their advice.
Prompted by "Lost Mothers," two state legislators in New Jersey introduced a bill to heighten monitoring of maternal deaths and encourage hospitals to adopt life-saving treatment protocols. The series also had an immediate impact on the lives of readers. Days after giving birth, Marie McCausland in Ohio, Cassi Foley in California, and Nelly Wright in Oregon all suffered from intense pain and rising blood pressure. Yet doctors didn't tell them how to recognize complications, or dismissed their symptoms as normal. What helped save them was reading a "Lost Mothers" article about a woman who died because her preeclampsia—a type of high blood pressure that only occurs in pregnancy or postpartum—wasn't diagnosed until it was too late. Recognizing themselves in her plight, the women persisted in seeking treatment, and survived.

This post is continuation of the series. If you do not have Postgres on your machine or sample data, you can read [Installing PostgreSQL and Loading Sample Data]({{site.baseurl}}/2017/05/05/installing-postgresql-and-loading-sample-data/) post first.

There are functions like `date_gt` to compare date types.

	select * from payment
	where date_gt(payment_date::date, '2007-04-01'::date);

You can use `date_part` to get a part of datetime.

	select amount, payment_date, date_part('quarter', payment_date) as quarter,
    date_part('year', payment_date) as year, concat('Q', date_part('quarter', payment_date), '-',
    date_part('year', payment_date)) as display_quarter
	from payment;

[generate_series(start, stop, step)](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/functions-srf.html) generates a series of values, from `start` to `stop` with a step size of `step`. We need a function like `f(x)` to get the value. If we use a negative number as `step`, it will be decreasing.

	select x, md5(random()::text) from generate_series(100, 0, -5) as f(x);

	select x from generate_series('2001-10-01'::TIMESTAMP, '2002-10-01'::TIMESTAMP, '10 days') as f(x);

![postgres_generate_series.png]({{site.baseurl}}/img/postgres_generate_series.png)

<!--more-->

	select trunc(random() * 1000 + 1) from generate_series(1, 1000);

Let's use this series in an example;

	create or replace function random_payments(counter int) returns setof payment
	as $$
	DECLARE
		start_id int;
		end_id int;
	BEGIN
		select min(payment_id) from payment into start_id;
		select max(payment_id) from payment into end_id;
		return query (select * from payment
		where payment_id IN(
		select trunc(random() * (end_id - start_id) + start_id)
		from generate_series(1, counter + 1)));
	END
	$$ language plpgsql;

	select * from random_payments(100);

If you have large and complicated queries, you can use `WITH` query to make it easily readable. These statements often referred to as [CTE](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/queries-with.html) (Common Table Expresssions). The subquery also generates a tsvector to query but I have already mentioned that before [it is a bad practice]({{site.baseurl}}/2017/05/09/postgresql-introduction/).

	with actor_rollup as (select f.film_id, title, sum(p.amount)::money as total_sales,
	group_concat(first_name || ' ' || last_name) as actors,
	to_tsvector(concat(f.title, ' ', group_concat(first_name || ' ' || last_name))) as search_field
	from film f
	inner join film_actor fa on f.film_id = fa.film_id
	inner join actor a on a.actor_id = fa.actor_id
	inner join inventory i on i.film_id = f.film_id
	inner join rental r on r.inventory_id = i.inventory_id
	inner join payment p on p.rental_id = r.rental_id
	group by f.film_id, title)

	select title, actors, total_sales
	from actor_rollup
	where search_field @@ to_tsquery('jedi');

We can use CTEs with Views together but they are different. CTEs are disposed when the query is done. Views are database wide and can have permissions. CTEs can be recursive.

	create view raw_sales as
	select title, description, length, rating, p.amount, payment_date,
	date_part('quarter', payment_date) as quarter,
	date_part('month', payment_date) as month,
	date_part('year', payment_date) as year,
	concat('Q', date_part('quarter', payment_date)::text, '-', date_part('year', payment_date)::text) as qyear,
	cash_words(amount::money) as spelling_it_out,
	to_tsvector(concat(title, ' ', description)) as search_field
	from film f
	inner join inventory i on i.film_id = f.film_id
	inner join rental r on r.inventory_id = i.inventory_id
	inner join payment p on p.rental_id = r.rental_id;

	with sales_rollups as (select distinct title, qyear,
		sum(amount) over (partition by title, qyear) as "Quarterly Sales",
		sum(amount) over (partition by qyear) as "Total Quarterly",
		sum(amount) over (partition by title, qyear)/sum(amount)
        over (partition by qyear) * 100 as "Percent of Total Quarter"
		from raw_sales
	order by title),
		q1_2007 as (select * from sales_rollups where qyear = 'Q1-2007'),
		q2_2007 as (select * from sales_rollups where qyear = 'Q2-2007'),
		things_are_correct as (
			select
				(select sum("Percent of Total Quarter") from q2_2007),
				(select sum("Percent of Total Quarter") from q1_2007)
	)

	select * from things_are_correct

We will continue with NoSQL features of PostgreSQL next time.

New Music I Like (No. 14): Nico Muhly
Composer Nico Muhly.
These days, Nico Muhly is a big star, and he hardly needs a bump from me. The 34-year old American composer is prolific – and in many different styles and genres. He is the very model of a post-modern New York composer, involved with classical music, electronics, and the alt/indie pop scene.
He studied with John Corigliano and Christopher Rouse, and his music bears their stamp. I also hear the influences of Steve Reich, Arvo Pärt and even Michael Nyman. As with all of these composers, there's a direct, heart-on-sleeve quality to Muhly's music, and a willingness to engage with his audience's received musical culture. He seeks fresh new pathways to follow – but he's no iconoclast, out to overthrow anyone or anything.
I wouldn't go so far as to say that I like everything Muhly creates. Electronic music generally leaves me cold – and his is no exception. And I guess I'm a bit too old to entirely set aside my hierarchical attitudes about classical vs. pop music. But some of his more classical-sounding pieces can be quite enchanting, full of clever invention and unpretentious charm.
One such piece is How About Now, composed for New York's Now Ensemble in 2006. Scored for flute, clarinet, piano, electric guitar and bass, How About Now is upbeat and (seemingly) informal, with a pleasant, quasi-minimalist flow.
Muhly writes: "I wanted the piece to feel like it comes from their pre-existing pantry of musical devices – a sort of thrown-together meal with close friends: a can of chick peas here, this mysterious dried mushroom, that jar of cocktail onions, and somehow, dinner happens."
Here's a YouTube video, with the Now Ensemble performing.

The mounting scientific evidence of climate change and predictions for the future carries with it a need for human action. Both adaptation and mitigation are necessary action pathways upon which society must embark.
This lesson focuses on mitigation activities possible through the lens of agriculture, specifically agriculture practiced in an agroecological fashion. Agroecology is the practice of agriculture in a way that mimics natural processes and takes an ecosystem approach to growing food.


Today their was a press conference for ZegnaArt Project and the inaguration of the Lucy and Jorge Orta "Fabulae Romanae" exhibition which includes installations and a film. Anna Zegna, the firm's image director and president of Fondazione Zegna was first drawn to the work of Lucy and Jorge Orta when she saw some of their work exhibited at the MAXXI Museum. The Special Projects division of Zegna has cuartor Maria Luisa Frisa commissioning the installation by Lucy and Jorge Orta "Fabulae Romanae" and worked in partenership with and conceived for the MAXXI, Rome's National Museum of the 21st century. The MAXXI is the first contemporary art museum in Rome and I believe in Italy.
Senio Zapruder is directing a short film for Zegna with yours truly, you will see it on their blog and mine too.
We had an amazing lunch at the Hotel De Russie.


Today is the birthday of one such prophet who challenged the extremes, not to mediocrity, but to integrity. Faded remnants of this fiery prophet remain in the name often given to Catholic student centers at public universities. John Henry Newman was born this day in 1801. This child of the Victorian era cherished tradition while enthusiastically engaging questions posed by a changing world.
Newman was an Anglican priest and leader in the Oxford Movement in the 1830s who became a Roman Catholic in 1845. I do not cite this to argue that in "leaving" to "become" anything he made the "right" choice. That is precisely the argumentative, divisive, polarizing polemics that leave us in the state we find ourselves today. Rather, what deserves highlighting is that John Henry Newman was denounced by both Anglican and Catholic leaders of his day. He was distrusted and demonized both by entrenched conservatives and rabid liberals. Isn't that precisely the kind of prophetic voice to which we should have our ears attuned today?
Today [Newman] is remembered as one who struggled to keep the mind of the church open to what was good and valuable in the modern world. His understanding of the historicity of doctrine, his defense of the laity, his nonscholastic approach to theology, his spirit of tolerance, his belief in the separation of church and state, his appreciation for the spiritual integrity of the intellectual life, and his celebration of the rights of conscience – all these values are consonant with the modern Catholic sensibility.
Paul VI called Vatican II "Newman's Council." Benedict XVI beatified John Henry Newman in September 2010. But, he also knew a degree of vindication later in his own life at age 78 – Leo XIII included Newman in the very first group of cardinals named by this new pope.
I take a certain delight in the coincidence of Newman's birthday today and the installation of yet another new pope's first group of cardinals tomorrow. May they prove to be in the prophetic tradition of John Henry Newman – passionate in their love of the church and of Christ – with convictions that are courageous and clear but grounded in the via media. There is hope!

-by Andy Dudas-
One of my fondest childhood memories was going to the Sidewalk Cinema(formerly the Tivoli) in Richmond, Indiana to see Star Trek: The Motion Picture. In 1979 me, my father and my two older brothers walked seventeen blocks to get to the theater that day. From a seven year old's point of view that could feel like a lot..but we were going to see Star Trek, on the big screen no less. So no amount of walking was going to seem too long to me that day. Boldly, we went.
Not having any specific recollections, I remember the walk more than the movie itself. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry gave me and my father a reason to watch television together. But I was more impressed with the ships, transporters, and phasers than I was any storyline. The idea of space travel to a little American boy in the 70s was more important than any interplay between Captain Kirk, Spock and Dr. McCoy. The social commentaries on race were lost on me anytime the crew was fighting a big green alien. All I knew: it was fun. And I, unbeknownst at the time, was bonding with my father.
The Motion Picture by virtually all accounts is awful. As an adult, my Dad and I never really recounted the experience of going to the theater that day, to say nothing of how much we did or didn't like the film. I remember we all enjoyed ourselves and the movie, at least at the time. Seeing one of our favorite shows brought to life on the big screen when all we were used to was a television from a pre-cable era was everything we wanted it to be.
Ultimately, as a kid I became much more interested in Star Wars. For the majority of my life, George Lucas' space opera has dominated my interest in most things science fiction. Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope is one of the finest films ever produced. Breaking ground and box offices, Star Wars as it would forever be known, is a film I can recite alongside it. Having seen it hundreds of times, I never actually saw the original in the theater. When it was rereleased in 1997 as a 'Special Edition' I was quick to get in line. I wasn't going to miss it again.
The cool Han Solo, the malevolent Darth Vader and the gigantic universe which all seemed normal and established to all of us provided me with a lot of fun as a kid. Action figures, toy blasters, and hours forging my friendship with Doug Maurer, the kid down the street, Star Wars was and will always be very important to me. Most of my formative years were spent dreaming of that galaxy far, far away…
Star Trek went away for a long time in my life. Not by design, it just happened. Star Trek: The Next Generation debuted when I was fifteen years old and held some of my interest for a while, but this new crew and new ship(while very cool) was not TOS(the original series). It just wasn't. TOS cast would go on to make five more feature films, none of which would sell more tickets than The Motion Picture, throughout the 80s and into the 90s. But the follow up film, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was such a wonderfully conceived film, it ultimately became the hit the franchise needed to perpetuate itself. Failing to deliver a movie with a decent plot a second time could very easily have killed the franchise altogether.
Although earning less money than the original, The Wrath of Khan brought the show back to its roots. It gave the audience something they had always loved: a villain. Getting back to what they did best, the interactions between themselves and that of a tangible opponent, made Khan a hit. The disembodied intelligence of V'Ger from The Motion Picture came across as exactly what it was: a rushed job that wasn't properly vetted through all of Hollywood's channels. We'll come back to Khan and his Wrath.
Star Trek's III through VI were fine films. Most think Star Trek V: The Final Frontier was not on par with the rest. But as it was, at the time figuring to be the last hurrah, I viewed it as our 'goodbye' to the cast and the ship. Goodbye to the show. Goodbye to an icon. I do not agree with the many who think poorly of The Final Frontier. Is it the weakest of the six films? Very possibly, perhaps only to be outdone by the original. But even in its weakest form, and I am going to play the fan card here, it was still Star Trek. And I loved it.
But Khan, or should I say, Khhhhhhhaaaaaaan!?
Ok, there are a few holes. It is by no means a perfect film, if in fact such a thing could exist, this is as close as Roddenberry's creation would ever get. Ricardo Montalban(1920 – 2009) portrays Khan with all the revenge and malice needed to perfectly balance William Shatner's Kirk in all his bravado and splendor. But it is Leonard Nimoy(1931 – 2015), who had all but written off the idea of ever playing Spock again prior even to The Motion Picture, who steals this show.
***SPOILER ALERT*** after 35 years I shouldn't have to say that but I just did.
The script was written around the idea of having to convince Nimoy to come back again, with the promise of "the greatest death scene since Janet Leigh in Psycho." Writer Jack B. Sowards and director Nicholas Meyer were not only successful in convincing Nimoy to take the role, Spock's death scene was in fact the Everest of death scenes. The sacrifice. The selflessness. The void.
We did not see Star Trek II. We went to see The Motion Picture. For some reason we skipped II. We went to see Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Somehow we had heard of what had happened to Spock and they use the first few minutes of III to catch everyone up in case they missed it, but I missed my chance to see Khan on the big screen.
As I have grown older and hopefully wiser, Star Trek in one way or another has found its way into the fabric of my daily life. I doubt very seriously if there is a day that goes by that I have not at least thought about or actively sought out Star Trek in one form or another.
As we are currently trekking our way through TOS on Netflix, my appreciation for the characters is being cemented. Kirk's machismo. Spock's intelligence and even handed demeanor. Bones'(DeForest Kelley 1920 – 1999) 'Jiminy Cricket' to Kirk.
It's easy to like Kirk. He's the starting quarterback, Homecoming King, and James Bond all rolled into one. Cool under fire, tough as nails, and easy on the eyes. Shatner's portrayal spoke to what a lot of people aspire.
The Vulcan half of Spock's DNA showed us how impulsive humans can be, often to our detriment. Methodical and measured, his response to virtually all situations was that of a neutral third party. Having an emotional tie to nothing and holding little to no allegiance to anything but logic. We all know people in our lives like this and they, like Spock, are tough to be around. But in the end, you can always count on them, just like Spock.
Dr. Leonard 'Bones' McCoy has become my favorite character in the cast. The compassion he shows for his patients and fellow shipmates, his squabbling with Spock over every little thing be it emotional or logical in nature, and his sage words to Kirk, whispering in his ear keeping him from at times from destroying himself.
Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. Three separate but equal parts of the same equation. Needing each other in order to succeed. Without all three the ship falls apart. Shatner, Nimoy, and Kelley. Three completely different actors. Without all three, the show fails.
To celebrate the 35th anniversary of The Wrath of Khan it is being rereleased in theaters for just two days. This opportunity was not going to be missed. I will not be walking seventeen blocks to get to the theater on this day. Rather, I will be driving forty-five miles. To see a film I own in digital and DVD formats and have watched more times than any other with the exception of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.
Star Wars will always be special to me and I am eagerly looking forward to the next installment,
but Star Trek…I got that from my Dad.
and this magazine, from my Uncle Bob.

Egyptian author visiting U. of I. community to talk about Muslim world
Mar 29, 2006 9:00 am by Andrea Lynn | 217-333-1085Humanities
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Sahar Mohammed Hassan Tawfiq, an Egyptian author and translator, is spending a month at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign talking to university and public groups about the Muslim world.
She is a 2005-2006 Fulbright Visiting Specialist in Fulbright's Direct Access to the Muslim World Program, which is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
The U. of I. is one of 26 U.S. colleges and universities to be selected to host Fulbright Visiting Specialists from Muslim populations around the world during the 2006 spring semester. Marilyn Booth, a professor of comparative and world literature at Illinois, won the Fulbright grant to bring Tawfiq to Illinois. Booth also has translated Tawfiq's writings into English.
The Fulbright program, begun in 2004, attempts to expand current understanding of Islamic societies and cultures in the classroom and beyond it. Visiting specialists come from many disciplines, including Islamic studies, law, media education, psychology and religion.
In residence on Illinois' campus until April 22, Tawfiq is speaking to classes, giving lectures or short courses, team-teaching or assisting in program- and
curriculum-development, and meeting with service clubs and with community, religious and school groups.
The themes for her visit are "Arabic Literature and Criticism" and "Islam in the Contemporary Arab World." Free public events include:
• April 7 (Friday), 7:30 p.m., a lecture, "Modern Egyptian Society through the Eyes of its Women Writers," Central Illinois Mosque and Islamic Center, 106 S. Lincoln Ave., Urbana.
• April 19 (Wednesday), 4:30 to 6 p.m., PEN Border Crossings Festival, "A Conversation With Sahar Tawfiq," Illini Union Bookstore, 807 S. Wright St., Champaign.
Tawfiq also plans to meet classes at Unity Junior High School in Philo and at Urbana High School.
A native and resident of Cairo, Tawfiq has written two novels and many short stories, including stories for children. The stories in "Points of the Compass" were selected and translated by Booth. The book won the University of Arkansas Press Arabic Translation Award in 1995.
Tawfiq also is an English-to-Arabic translator, and has translated several academic books, including Maxine Hong Kingston's "The Woman Warrior" and Margaret Atwood's "Alias Grace." Before turning to writing and translating full time, Tawfiq had a career as a teacher and supervisor in the Egyptian school system, 1975 to 2002.
She was a writer-in-residence at the Chateau de Lavigny, Switzerland, and has taken part in numerous conferences on literature in the Arab world and in Copenhagen.
PEN (Poets, Essayists, Novelists) is a New York City-based association seeking to promote freedom of expression by defending authors, encouraging reading and writing and administering literary prizes. Border Crossings, a PEN-sponsored project funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, brings overseas writers in direct contact with U.S. readers, using literature as a bridge for mutual understanding.
Tawfiq's visit to the university is co-sponsored by the Center for Global Studies, department of linguistics, Program in Comparative and World Literature, Program in South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, and Women and Gender in Global Perspectives.
For more information about Tawfiq's visit, contact Booth at 217-333-0023; for information about Tawfiq's lecture at the Central Illinois Mosque, contact Muhammad al-Faruque, Illinois' Middle Eastern studies librarian, at 217-333-1501; for information regarding the PEN event, contact Chad Post at the Center for Book Culture at 309-438-7555 .


Mickley Stud took our new boy MASSAAT to The TBA Stallion Parade at Tattersalls February Sale this week. This winner of the Hungerford Stakes, who was also second in both the 2000 Guineas and Dewhurst Stakes, had a Timeform rating of 122 and is a brother to Gr1 winner Eqtidaar. He attracted lots of attention at the parade, with Angus Gold, Racing Manager of Shadwell Stud, said of the Stallion that "he possesses class and speed." We cant disagree! The son of Teofilo will stand for £5,000. Also "on parade" was Finn Kent, eldest son of Mickley Stud owner Richard, who was interviewed about the stallion on the day - you can see him in the video below.
The new year continued in good style for our stallion Captain Gerrard as CAPTAIN RYAN, penalised for his win in a race at Wolverhampton just five days earlier, won again for trainer Geoffrey Deaco and connections over the same C&D. Jockey Kieran O'Neill was on board once again and had a good tow into the race, with the gelding picking up well to settle matters. The gelding is now 3-3 over this C&D on Tapeta and that was his eighth career success.
VLANNON became the latest winner of the New Year for Captain Gerrard, and a fairly rare one for him over jumps! Michael Madgwick's charge had been tried on the flat without success, but got off the mark in the Juvenile Hurdle at Kempton Park with Marc Goldstein in the saddle. His trainer is of the opinion he'll make a nice stayer in time, rightly pointing out that all the family have won. He thinks Vlannon is a good horse who is only going to get better - a three-miler in the making. Congratulations to connections, who include his breeder Mrs L N Harmes.
The good run continues for our stallions with Captain Gerrard getting his third winner of the year - this time with a four year old gelding at Southwell in the apprentice handicap. GORGEOUS GENERAL had run well at the course two starts ago and, following a blip at Newcastle last time, bounced back here in brave style to just edge home. He clearly likes it on the Fibresand, with course form figures of 4331, and his attitude is a big plus. Congratulations to trainer Lawrence Mullaney and connections.
A nice start to the new year for Captain Gerrard with the first win for his progeny in 2019, as his son CAPTAIN RYAN gained another victory in a competitive handicap at Wolverhampton today over the minimum trip. The 8yo gelding hadn't won for some time but that was his seventh career win and he had had enjoyed previous course and distance success. The first-time cheekpieces appeared to have a positive effect on this drop back to 5f, and he got the job done nicely in the end. Well done to trainer Geoff Deacon, jockey Kieran O'Neill, and owner R J Douglas.
A nice winner for stallion Yorgunnbelucky at Chelmsford! LUCKY'S DREAM didn't have things work out for him at Wolverhampton on his last start, but he'd been a cosy winner over this C&D the time before and was racing off just 4lb higher. He was always going well just off the pace, made his move up the middle of the track swinging for home, and gamely held off a late challenge from the well-backed favourite. Well done to owner/breeder Roger Brookhouse, jockey Martin Dwyer and trainer Ian Williams.
Our new stallion for 2019, First Season Sire MASSAAT, will be on parade at Beech House Stud today, Sunday & Monday. Tattersalls will be operating a shuttle service so don't miss the chance to see him - available to view until Monday!

El Partit Social Popular va ser un partit polític d'Espanya vinculat al neocatolicisme, fundat oficialment el 23 de juliol de 1919 mitjançant un Manifiesto i que va desaparèixer amb l'arribada de la dictadura de Primo de Rivera.

La formació del partit es va gestar per diferents sectors de la dreta política en el declivi del model canovista de la restauració borbònica. Des de la crisi política de 1917, els sectors conservadors, afins fins a aquest moment al model de bipartidisme pactat de la restauració, van mostrar les seves reticències amb la fórmula que ja no garantia l'estabilitat social que esperaven.

Des del diari El Debate, fundat pel religiós Basilio Hernández i adquirit per l'Asociación Católica Nacional de Propagandistas per a la defensa de la religiositat de l'Estat, de l'ensenyament públic catòlic i eliminar els anomenats efectes nocius de la Constitució de 1876, s'havia arribat a una ruptura amb Cánovas el 1915, en no apostar aquest per partits confessionals. D'altra banda, la Confederació Nacional Catòlica Agrària, gestada des de les files de l'Associació Nacional Catòlica, havia agrupat als sindicats catòlics i necessitava una representació política. D'una altra part, Severino Aznar i uns altres havien impulsat un projecte denominat Grup de Democràcia Cristiana en 1918, proper al model del Partit Popular Italià fundat en 1915 i que havia tingut un gran èxit popular.

Finalment, tots aquests sectors es van unir en una sola proposta política on es van integrar Severino Aznar, José Larraz López, Inocencio Jiménez, Salvador Minguijón, l'antic maurista Genaro Pozo, Ángel Ossorio y Gallardo, tradicionalistes com Víctor Pradera Larumbe, sindicalistes (Luis Díaz del Corral i Francisco Barrachina) i membres de la redacció d'El Debate.

Mantenia una doctrina corporativista i rebutjava el model liberal de representació en les Corts. No va concórrer a les eleccions de 1923, atès que es va anticipar el cop d'estat de Primo de Rivera, al que la majoria dels membres de la nova formació va aplaudir, integrant-se després en l'experiència primoriverista de la Unión Patriótica i, durant la Segona República, van ser membres destacats de la Confederació Espanyola de Dretes Autònomes.

Els principals promotors del partit a Catalunya —on va tindre una presència reduïda— foren Francesc Aizcorbe i Oriol i Ramon Bassols. També en van formar Nicolás Santos de Otto, Josep Ayats Surribas i altres antics carlins, mauristes i demòcrata-cristians.

En produir-se el Cop d'estat de Primo de Rivera al setembre de 1923, la direcció del partit es dividí entre els partidaris de la col·laboració amb el règim (Víctor Pradera) i els contraris (Ossorio).

Lungs being an important organ in the human body are essential for overall well-being and keeping it clean and healthy is thus of extreme importance. Given the amount of pollution, dust, toxins present in the air all around us, the good news is that you can still keep the lungs clean just by following a good diet.
Some of the natural foods to get cleaner lungs are discussed below.
Fruits and vegetables which have the characteristic orange or yellowish shades like carrots, apricots, sweet potatoes, and butternut squash are all known to be rich in carotenoids. Carotenoids is actually an antioxidant pigment which gives the color to these fruits and veggies and is known to be great for the well being of the lungs. Consumption of carotenoid-rich foods helps decrease the risk of lung cancers, asthma, and many other related woes.
Garlic if incorporated in the daily diet can actually be greatly beneficial to lung health. Garlic due to it being rich in anti-inflammatory properties helps fight infections and swelling caused when the woes of asthma and lung cancers crop up.
Food consumed when cooked with the spice turmeric in it gives the lungs a perfect boost as turmeric as a spice is great as an anti-inflammatory agent. Turmeric helps in reducing and warding off any inflammatory concerns which might lead to lung related medical conditions.
This is another wonder herb as ginger due to its anti-inflammatory property is known to keep the lungs cleaner. Have ginger into your daily diet in the form of ginger tea or in your daily food preparations, is going to help greatly.
It is known that omega-3 fatty acids are considered to be great for keeping the body healthy but what remains unnoticed is the fact that it is equally great for the lungs too. Found in food such as nuts, fish and flax seeds, consumption of the same have been seen to increase the functioning and capacity of the lungs.
Rich with the goodness of antioxidants and anthocyanins, pomegranates are known to be beneficial in warding off lung issues to a great extent.
Greatly so, pineapples are loaded with an enzyme which has a defamatory effect on the sinus known as bromelain and thus is known to treat a lung woe called pulmonary edema. Thus consumption of this fruit helps in increased lung activity more!
Vitamins are essential for the proper functioning of the body and thus it is also important for lung health too. Consumption of fruits such as apples, kiwis, bell peppers, guavas, oranges etc if consumed properly helps keep the lung functioning perfectly and stops the issues related to lungs as well.
Water is important for the functioning of the entire body but is also equally great for the lungs too. It helps in keeping the organ well hydrated and helping them in flushing the toxic elements out of the body too.
All sorts of berries from blueberries to raspberries are rich in antioxidants. These berries help in warding off lung issues to a great extent.

Our aim will therefore be to help in building up India for the sake of humanity – this is the spirit of the Nationalism which we profess and follow. We say to humanity, "The time has come when you must take the great step and rise out of a material existence into the higher, deeper and wider life towards which humanity moves. The problems which have troubled mankind can only be solved by conquering the kingdom within.... For that work the freedom and greatness of India is essential, therefore she claims her destined freedom and greatness, and it is to the interest of all humanity, not excluding England, that she should wholly establish her claim."

Activists Continue Tar Sands Blockade in Texas | Democracy Now!
Two environmental activists were arrested in East Texas Tuesday as protesters there continue their push to block construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline. Activists with the Tar Sands Blockade are claiming to have thwarted construction efforts outside Winnsboro, Texas, for most of the day after two people locked themselves to a backhoe. The pair were reportedly pepper-sprayed, tasered and put in chokeholds by police before being arrested. Meanwhile, eight other activists remain aloft in a "tree village" in a bid to block tree-clearing equipment that's making way for the pipeline's southern leg.

Owls pull out fourth-quarter nailbiter
Temple led by 12 at the end of the third quarter but Central Florida closed the gap.
30 January 2020 Josh Grieb Basketball, Sports, Women's Basketball
Graduate forward Lena Niang attempts to shoot during the Owls' game against UCF at McGonigle Hall on Jan. 29. | NEIL GOLDENTHAL / THE TEMPLE NEWS
Temple University women's basketball (13-8, 5-3 The American Athletic Conference) held off Central Florida (11-8, 3-4 The AAC) by a score of 67-65 Wednesday night.
This was the Owls' fourth win of the season won by a single basket. Their last five games have been decided by five points or fewer.
Coach Tonya Cardoza has been impressed with Temple's ability to win close games.
"Last year we weren't winning those games," Cardoza said. "They're learning how to win and they enjoy it now, and they enjoy playing with each other."
The Owls got key contributions from two of its guards—sophomore Marissa Mackins and redshirt-sophomore Ashley Jones—as well as graduate student forward Lena Niang who bolstered the Owls' score as junior forward Mia Davis struggled.
Mackins was the leading scorer for the Owls with 22 points, which included going 5-of-11 from beyond the arc. Four of her three-pointers came in the third quarter, giving the Owls' offense a boost coming out of halftime.
"I don't ever look for my shot," Mackins said. "But if it falls, it falls and I just keep shooting."
While Davis scored just 12 points on 5-of-14 shooting from the field, she was able to set up easy baskets for Niang off backdoor cuts.
"They were up on Davis and I just had to cut and we worked on that in scout this morning, we just had to execute," Niang said.
The Owls having other offensive options to help out Davis has been something the team has focused on all year, Cardoza said.
"[Mackins] knocking down shots, [Niang] moving without the basketball," Cardoza said. "That's the way we help [Davis] out so that she doesn't have to be the savior every night."
This was a game the Owls could have put away earlier. Thanks to Mackins' hot shooting in the third quarter, Temple had pushed the lead out to 12.
The Knights' defense brought them back in the game. They had entered the game with a +3.5 turnover ratio and took the ball away from the Owls multiple times.
Temple must be more careful with the basketball, Cardoza said. The Owls committed 18 turnovers in the game.
"We need to be smarter and not get into trap areas with the basketball," Cardoza said.
Despite losing the turnover battle, Temple won the rebounding battle and made their free throws, which were crucial aspects in a close game.
The Owls will look to continue this play when they take on Wichita State (11-10, 3-5 The AAC) on Feb. 5 at McGonigle Hall.

Many months ago I wished I had my hands on T-Fal's Actifry deep fryer which promoted itself as being capable of "frying" 2.2lbs of French fries using a single tablespoon of oil.
Happily my generous parents answered my wish and bought me one for my birthday.
So, was it everything I'd hoped for?
There's zero doubt that it makes far, far tastier French fries than our homemade oven baked versions or storebought oven baked.
The fries are very crispy on the outside and soft like a fry should be on the inside, but they're not quite deep fried.
We've been using the Actifry more lately to make sweet potato fries as sweet potatoes are far healthier choices than regular potatoes.
Given the machine's design, it's not going to replace a person's deep fryer for many items other than French and stir fries, but my biggest beef with the Actifry? Cost. The thing's stupidly expensive. $299 for a heated, teflon-coated ceramic pan with a rotating arm?
