A Portishead primary school has been handed hundreds of pounds as a thank you for a fundraising concert it took part in last year.
Back in November, pupils at St Peter's Primary School helped put on a show for Children in Need, featuring its choir, The Majors.
The production raised more than £1,800 for the charity and their efforts did not go unnoticed.
Portishead Lions decided it would provide some funds to the school, reciprocating the positive efforts.
On arriving at the school, representatives of the Lions were given an 'enthusiastic and charming' performance featuring three songs. All the school's pupils took part, and The Majors led the way once more.
Lion President David Fitzpatrick then presented the choir's director, Catrin Battista with a cheque for £250 as a thank you for the school's support.
A Lions spokesman said: "He thanked the pupils for their splendid performance and said what a pleasure it was to work with young people who were prepared to give the time and effort to help those less fortunate."

Accepting the cheque Catrin Battista said that the primary school and pupils were delighted to work with Portishead Lions as to help others, in the local community and beyond, was very much part of the school's core values.
The money will be put to good use by the school in the coming months.
Ms Battista said the £250 donation will help to pay for an art project, which all the school's pupils will be able to participate with.
In the project, the children will create a permanent piece of art, which will communicate the message of the school's central values to current and future pupils.
The Lions' attention is now turning to its sponsored walk event on Sunday.
Pupils from Portishead primary, St Joseph's, High Down junior and infants and Trinity schools will join St Peter's for the Lions' walk at the Lake Grounds. Two preschools will also take part and the Lions hopes it will beat last year's £6,000 fundraising effort.

Returning patients receive a reception number automatically by simply inserting a hospital ID card in the reception unit. Automating this procedure helps reduce workload of employees at a medical facility.
Medical institutions generate many types of analog media such as paper documents like examination forms, introductions and copies of insurance cards as well as film. With the Medical Record Viewer, all of these items can be scanned for digital storage. This is permits the centralized management of information for each patient. The system performs automatic sorting and management by reading the QR code assigned to each scanned item.
Improves the speed and efficiency of accounting and other hospital operations. ALMEX has installed automatic payment systems at more than 500 medical facilities throughout Japan. This experience gives us the know-how needed for the trouble-free installation and operation of these systems.
This system displays queue numbers so that no announcement is needed. Waiting rooms area become quiet and personal information is protected. There are three types of systems, where we have Consultation Queue System, Payment Queue System and Medication Queue System. With a queue number displayed, people able to know how much longer should wait and the flow of people in each waiting area (consultation clinics, payment and pharmacy) is smooth. The systematic queue system with some enhancement such as guidance, news, information, etc. really creates a less-stress and harmonious environment in the hospital surroundings.


I saw this on The View.
I know, I know. It's not a particularly great show.
The fact that this video clip from The View almost immediately became available on YouTube shows that others would agree with me in thinking that this story about a young lion cub raised by humans, then released into the wild, and then reunited with its original owners illustrates the fact that it's worthy of a view.
And I agree with "Animal Lover" who posted the video… you can find similar videos of Christian the lion on YouTube, but most of them are shorter, don't include the full story, and don't have this song in the background — which is quite touching at that "right" moment in the video.
This is what it was like when the 2 men who raised "Christian" the lion cub for the first year of his life… then released him into the wild in Africa… then reunited with him — on his turf, where he had become the leader of his pride of lions. Amazing.


Melt the butter, sugars, golden syrup, salt, and baking soda together over low heat. Do not let it boil.
Remove from heat, add the caramel or vanilla essence, and stir well.
Sift the flour, add the butter mixture to it, and mix to combine into soft dough.
Roll into large balls, and put them through the meat grinder, using a zig-zag-patterned biscuit attachment.
Use a palette knife to cut the strings of dough into uniformly sized rectangles. You can also use a square or rectangular cookie cutter.
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C, and bake the biscuits for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Place all the ingredients except the vanilla in a saucepan.
Boil uncovered for 8 minutes.
Add vanilla, remove from the stove, and beat with a wooden spoon until thick and slightly cooled.
Pair similar-shaped biscuits together, and sandwich each pair together with the warm fudge filling. .
Allow the filling to set.
If you use caramelised condensed milk as filling, do so shortly before serving, because condensed milk will soften the biscuits.

Me old china plate
Posted on June 1, 2019 by lawofmarkets
Two stories, separate but thematically linked. The first about Chinese foreign policy starts with this.
Donald Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon has warned that Australia will become "a tributary state" to China unless the Morrison government joins the US in forcefully challenging Chinese hegemony in the region.
And then this: from the Herald Sun.
Premier Daniel Andrews has made a big deal out of talking up the Australian content in Victoria's huge $45 billion investment in infrastructure projects.
Local content should be a priority and, indeed, the government needs to keep construction unions inside the tent to contain costs and keep industrial peace.
Mr Andrews had pledged a minimum 92 per cent of Australian steel would be used in the $6.7 billion West Gate Tunnel project.
But as revealed Thursday by our state political editor Matt Johnston, contractors for the project have ordered a 33,000-tonne shipment of steel from the Chinese government-owned firm ZPMC.
There are serious questions about what agreements were touted by Mr Andrews to foreign investors during his trip to China last month. Mr Andrews, the only Premier to have signed on to China's controversial Belt and Road Initiative, has previously said he would work to attract Chinese investment in Victoria's infrastructure program.
No doubt imported Chinese steel would be a lot cheaper than Australian steel. But the decision may yet cost Mr Andrews much more in union fury and public faith.
The title, btw, is a bit of rhyming slang I learned when I first reached these shores those many years ago. Seems quite appropriate in the present context. And while I'm on it, if one is interested in free trade, this might be of interest: How does China cheat on trade? Let us count the ways.
China cheats by protecting its home market from American imports with high tariffs, tricky non-tariff barriers, and costly, constantly changing regulations.
China cheats by subsidizing the exports of government-owned "national champions" to crush its free market competitors and dominate global markets.
China cheats by preying on weak counties, locking up their natural resources with "debt traps" in an obvious effort to gain a global stranglehold on key resources like bauxite, copper, nickel, and rare earths. These monopolies are not only being used to fuel China's industrial machine, but to punish those countries who would oppose its predatory policies.
China cheats by subsidizing manufacturing with cheap loans and cheap energy, and also by turning a blind eye to environment, health and safety standards. Because of its cheating, it already dominates industries ranging from ship production and refrigerators, to color TV sets, air conditioners, and computers.
Above all, China cheats by stealing key technologies and intellectual property from the United States and other countries. These activities range from cyberespionage and forced technology transfer down to massive open-source collection and plain-old physical theft.
Economics is and has always been a subset of politics. No economics text can ever tell you what ought to be done, only what the consequences of different decisions might turn out to be. And a modern text doesn't even do that.

When my mother was pregnant with me, all the family had been expecting a baby girl. Though when the morning came, they were quite shocked. According to stories from my uncles and aunties, my mum was a bit disappointed upon my arrival, but my father was thrilled that his first child was a son. He clapped his hands and insisted that I be named after his hero, the first Prime Minister of the Republic of Congo, Patrice Lumumba. And so, I was born on December 5, 1960 in a small town in Northern Rhodesia, Africa—now Zambia.
I grew up all across the country, wherever my father's job pulled him. For years, I admired his strong hands and sincere devotion to each new project he began, designing and building government garages. As the eldest child of eight, and first son, I was very close with my father, happily learning from him.
From all our moving, I learned 50 or more languages. Each province in Zambia has a different language or dialect, 78 in all. This helped me feel more comfortable in each new place we moved, but I still had a hard time making friends. My family were my closest friends, so when it came time for me to go to high school and live on campus, I was nervous. Would I be able to make it without my big family around me each day? They were always there through every move, but this time I was moving alone. Although it was scary, I knew I had to leave to start building a life. I wanted to make my father proud.
Being away from my family was hard at first, but it got easier over time and I still got to keep in contact with them while I was away. I thrived at school and found an interest in biology. Things seemed to be going well until one night when I was 15. I was watching a cowboy movie at one of the school's movie nights when the headmaster called me into his office. I walked in and took a seat, surprised and confused why he would need to call me. I'd been a model student since I had arrived. The headmaster looked somber as he told me that my father had died of cerebral malaria earlier that evening. I didn't want to believe him. I thought I was in a dream. How could he be gone? He was only 40 years old! There was so much more I wanted to learn from him.
I cried all night, exhausted, but unable to sleep. My father was gone, and I didn't know how to continue on without him. I thought about dropping out of school so I could go home and take care of my family. I didn't want to be away from them anymore. But then I thought back on my father and how he lived his life. He wouldn't want his death to destroy me. He would have wanted me to continue my education and move forward. So, I stayed in school, more determined than ever to start a career he could be proud of.
While I tried to move forward, my mum was at home suffering. Not a day would go by that she wouldn't mention his name. As I watched her grieve, I decided that I would pursue higher education so I could find a good job, provide for my family, and take on my father's role.
Me out of high school, 1981.
While in high school, I worked in a Christian bookstore on holidays. The missionary that ran the bookstore liked me so much that they offered to pay my college tuition. I was so grateful to have found them in such a difficult time. Without them, college might not have been possible even with top-notch grades. I went to college, and studied Microbiology and through connections I had made at school, I found a job in a mission hospital after graduation. I was responsible for the daily running of the hospital laboratory and teaching others basic lab tests.
Working as a lab technologist, c. 1998-1999.
During my time working at the hospital, I became close with a coworker who was a registered nurse. After getting to know each other, we fell in love and got married in 1985. I felt so lucky to have found someone who worked in the same field as me. As I moved up in my career, I sent money to my mum while I began my own family. In 1991, we had our daughter, and I vowed to be as good of a parent as my father.
For the next few years life stayed blissful until another change came long and broke the peace. In 2000, my wife received a nursing job in England and took our daughter with her. At the same time, my mother fell ill, so I made the choice to stay behind. Unfortunately, my mother didn't make it. I felt lost with the death of both my parents. My inspirations to succeed were gone. How was I supposed to go on?
I thought back on my childhood and how through each hardship, my parents always found a way. I knew I had to do the same. I realized that it was my responsibility to be that pillar of hope for my own child.
Me with my late mother, 2000.
In 2001, I moved to England to be with my family, and life felt whole again—well, briefly. After only two years in England, my wife and I decided to get a divorce. I can't say for sure why it didn't work out—maybe we got married too young or maybe we just grew apart. In the end, it was best for us to go our separate ways.
I was sad our marriage ended, so I threw myself into work and study for the next eight years as I completed my Master's degree. It was a lonely time. I still saw my daughter and spent time with friends, but they couldn't fill the hole the end of my marriage left inside me.
But life always seems to find its way. In 2006, I took a trip to Venezuela to visit a friend, and during my time there, I was robbed despite having the slim pouch of my valuables under my shirt. My money, my passport, it was all gone! I was scheduled to return home the next day!
While I was waiting for replacement documents, my friend introduced me to a woman he knew from a local church. From the moment we met, she stole my heart. It was like a movie. I felt an instant connection to her—how lucky I was to have my passport stolen!
I eventually made my way back to England, but I left my heart behind in Venezuela. We chatted every day and were so happy to be part of each other's world. When she wasn't near me, I stayed with her in the memories of our visits, or in the dreams of our future. After five years, we finally got married. I decided to move to Venezuela. You would think that must be a hard decision, but it wasn't. She was my home.
Venezuela was so different from anywhere I had ever lived. Their way of life and culture was so foreign to me. For example, timely engagements are more of a theory in Venezuela than an actuality. If a wedding is scheduled for 2:00, most people won't arrive until about 5:00, and then the wedding will actually start. The discipline in the labs is also the laxest I have ever encountered in my entire career. At one point, I saw a tech examining a sample in a microscope while eating a mango. I was in shock for the first few weeks. Seeing these things were odd and hard for me to accept as the norm, but over time I've learned that their ways are not the issue. It is up to me, the foreigner in their land, to change my ways, not the other way around. I have even grown used to the food—okay, maybe not, but I'm getting better.
Patrick was born in Zambia and grew up traveling all over the country. He lost his father at an early age, but kept moving and became a medical professional, husband, and father. He moved to England shortly before his first marriage ended. He furthered his career through continuing his education during this lonely period until he met and married his current wife from Venezuela. Out of love, he moved there to be with her. He now happily lives with his wife and their three-year-old daughter in Venezuela. His eldest daughter is now a lawyer in England with family of her own. Patrick enjoys athletic pursuits including football (soccer), going to the gym, and swimming. He also likes going to the cinema and writing.
A really nice story about someone's quite interesting life.

The Africa Conference Technical Programmes at 18 – Coming of Age
With 2019 representing the 18th conference convened by the PESGB and HGS on African exploration and development, it is appropriate to review how the event has matured with time. The first such event was convened by the PESGB Africa SIG, led by Ray Bate, Nick Cameron and Val Clure, at the Millennium Hotel in 2001. Over 250 delegates attended, the majority of which were consultants, small operators and seismic companies. With hindsight, any operator selecting new venture acreage on the basis of what they heard during this first conference would have done pretty well. Presentations showcasing future potential entitled 'Deep water prospectivity of NW Africa', 'Senegal is now ready to become the next African success' and 'New play types of deepwater Ghana' illustrated some of the eventual successes of the African exploration story in the following two decades. The last of these, by John Craven, then of Dana, illustrated a number of sediment fairways on newly 2D acquired seismic, offshore Ghana, one of which would eventually be shown to contain the Jubilee field.
The title of this first conference 'Africa; The success will continue' has been proven to be true. The African conference has successfully alternated yearly between London and Houston, with larger venues being required as the number of attendees grew. An exploratory venture one year to Cape Town was less successful on attracting attendees, but did give the attendees a great opportunity to actually see some African turbidites in the field on the PESGB's most distant ever field trip, to the Tanqua Karoo . During the second conference and the first in Houston, in 2002, the frontier deepwater East Africa play took centre stage. East Africa was to become an ongoing theme of subsequent conferences. In 2003, at the QE2 centre in London, talks outlined the geochemical case for the, then, true frontier areas of The East African rift petroleum system, and the 'Potential of deepwater Tanzania and Mozambique' focusing on the Oligocene play in the Rovuma Basin. What is striking is that none of these prescient presentations were given by the operators who eventually drilled the large discoveries, thus highlighting that these were long term team efforts involving contributions to the development of the play by seismic operators, academics, government promotors, and historical onshore and shallow water operators. The successful operators then integrated the understanding developed at a regional scale to unlock the potential at a prospect scale.
Photo 1: The highest attendance of any of the Africa conferences was at Wembley in 2013 with some 650 attendees and onsite registration having to be closed.
As the respective committees grew to include representatives from operators, contributions started to come in on drilling and development, enabling us to monitor several project cycles. There have been seven talks on the Jubilee Field and four on SNE in Senegal presented at different stages of their exploration, appraisal and development cycles. Plots of the geographical location of the papers presented in the first and last five years of the conference illustrate how activity has shifted in the period away from the four traditional producing countries of Angola, Nigeria, Libya and Algeria, to encompass (and in some cases predict) the discoveries in previously unproductive countries such as Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, Senegal and Mauritania (Figures 1&2).
Coupled with the success stories of the last two decades have been some high-profile failures. One of the strengths of the conference has been the willingness of some operators to exchange lessons learnt from unsuccessful exploration. Presentations by Tullow on the causes for lack of commercial success during their search for a Jubilee 'look alike' along the West Africa equatorial margins, from Ophir on their disappointing Ayame well in the Ivorian Basin of Cote D'Ivoire and from BP on the challenges of the Kwanza/Benguela Basin pre-salt are honourable examples. Though the latter paper, which detailed a lack of appreciation at the prospect stage for the potential for early high heat pulses, echoes a talk by Garry Karner of Lamont-Docherty, at the third conference in 2003 that predicted that much of the prospectivity of the West African Pre-Salt in hyperextended regions such as this, would be heavily impacted by the effects of such high heat pulses. A reminder for us all that what may seem 'academic' at the time, are the insights of those who have the ability to think beyond paradigms and truly understand the geology that they are exploring.
The reflection of two successful decades of PESGB/HGS African conferences reinforces the need to accommodate papers from a wide spectrum of contributors across the industry. Original talks from academia, seismic companies (often the first to view data in new frontier plays), consultants and operators ensure the conference continues to supply the industry with unique insight into the geology of this wonderful continent and the economic prizes it can yield.
Photo 2: The international pavilion gives an opportunity for African countries to promote their opportunities and will be expanded on in 2019.
As the number of papers has increased annually, reaching a record 80 at the 16th conference, the technical committee face the ongoing challenge of ensuring the conference remains relevant, balanced and insightful. The seismic workshop was introduced at the 12th conference in London to ensure new data could be showcased in an appropriate manner utilising the latest platforms. This has been a very successful initiative and now a key feature of the African conference. At 18th conference in October 2019 a much larger dedicated room is available for this.
One criticism of the conference in the past has been the lack of African involvement. Described by a former HGS president, 'this is a conference that alternates between two continents, discussing a third'. As a committee increasing the participation from African nations remains a key objective. Discussions are ongoing to hold country workshops at future conferences where government organisations could show case their opportunities and forthcoming licence rounds. Another includes the possibility of technical training course aimed at attracting a mix audience of national oil companies, government technical departments and even African universities. For our community to thrive we urge our membership put the word out and extend invitations to our African colleagues to join us. As we cement this events position as the world's premier technical conference on the Petroleum Geology of Africa.
While it has not been a feature of the conference to publish full proceedings, a strength has been the detailed technical nature of the abstract books (without which this historical lookback could not have been compiled). Confidentiality issues have meant that many companies are willing to present on key new discoveries and issues but not publish. So perhaps the strongest message of this review of past conferences highlights the benefit of having such a dedicated event and the need to be there in person, as relying on published papers will leave you decades out of date!

Providing research, perception, and analysis on key points affecting health and well being care within the United States. Small group sessions targeted on health coverage topics, featuring the work of scholars and policy officers at U-M, in Michigan, around the US, and from other nations as well. Health policy is a regulation or regulation established by governments and other establishments to influence and enhance the public's health. However the problem of involving the districts and the provinces within the policy making course of was as soon as again ignored.
If the pool have been to be made worse than it is now, well being plans could be challenged to figure out how they could stay in a market already intended for demolition as soon as the brand new replacement plan was prepared in 2019. As the foundation causes of many well being problems should not addressed when insurance policies are formulated, as a consequence of lack of understanding of the concerned places and populations. The BHUs primarily operate as an inpatient clinic, with out health education which is the principle component of contemporary public health agenda , environmental, non secular and cultural predictors of well being and wellbeing. This profession usually requires a sophisticated diploma, such as a Grasp of Public Coverage, and the average wage is $fifty three,800 a 12 months. It is instructive that specializing in the politically charged issues associated to oil and fuel companies and personal jets can solely reduce the rate a lot.
Imperial Faculty is without doubt one of the world's leading analysis universities and works closely with employers and industry, including industrial advisory panels to design Master's courses which offer graduates with technical knowledge, experience and transferable expertise and to encourage students to take internships and placements.
There are three ranges of healthcare services: First, the primary healthcare that embrace the Primary Well being Items (BHUs), Mother and Child Healthcare Centres and in some areas the Civil dispensaries. Our extensive partner network enables college students to work with high Washington, D.C. well being organizations as apply settings. It is also concerning the medical health insurance market millions of center class customers participate in–lots of them Trump voters. Administratively all of the vertical programs ought to be introduced underneath the district health department. We must see if CMS holds to its coverage or alters primarily based on the burden physicians are already feeling.
It combines an international focus and academic rigour with the development of sensible, transferable skills that can be applied in a variety of real-world well being policy, planning and management settings. Robert Laszewski is president of Well being Coverage and Strategy Associates, LLC (HPSA), a coverage and marketplace consulting firm specializing in helping its shoppers through the significant health coverage and market change afoot.


After having worked in the digital advertising industry for many years, Karim Khalifa decided it was time to set up on his own. In 2009, he founded Digital Republic in Cairo.
Founders of new businesses have enough to contend with without a revolution being thrown into the mix – but contrary to what might be expected, Egypt's unrest helped to establish Digital Republic.
Because the protesters relied on their mobile phones and social media for news and communicating, it served to raise the awareness and use of digital media among the population at large. It was no longer just the tech-savvy youth who were Tweeting and Facebooking.
"I remember the day my 60-year-old mother suddenly joined Facebook and sent me a friend request," Mr Khalifa says.
Smartphone penetration varies across the Middle East: from 75 per cent in Qatar and 73 per cent in the UAE to 26 per cent in Egypt, according to a survey by Cisco. However, digital advertising remains a "tough nut to crack" in the region, says Mr Khalifa.
There are two reasons for this. First, a large number of players are involved — mobile operators, agencies, brands, publisbers, developers, users — and they are not cohesive. Second, brands and advertising agencies often to do not yet accord mobile advertising the same importance as they do print, TV or online advertising.
Spending on digital ads in the Middle East and North Africa is forecast to reach US$1.35 billion this year and increase to $3.80bn by 2017, according to eMarketeer, a research and analysis firm. (Globally, digital spending now is $117.6bn and expected to rise to $173.2bn in 2017.) Of that, mobile spending is currently 3.7 per cent of digital spending. This will grow to 8.9 per cent in 2017.
There are also a number of factors to consider when putting together a mobile campaign. Phones are personal devices and "you will shoot yourself in your foot" if there is a sense that your ad is an invasion of privacy or disruptive, he says. Those devising mobile campaigns need to understand the technology and be able to use it creatively. And they need to add value, he adds.
So how should this be done?
Mr Khalifa cites the mobile campaign Digital Republic put together for McDonald's when the burger chain introduced apple slices into its Happy Meals as something that worked well.
McDonald's asked the agency to come up with "a creative way to engage parents in store and online with social media and a mobile component".
The agency created an "augmented reality campaign" – adding computer-generated sound, graphics or video to a live scene. In the case of McDonald's, Digital Republic created an app. When a customer opened the app and pointed his phone's camera at the Happy Meal box, the phone recognised the box. The app then launched a 3D apple tree game that allowed children to collect points that would earn them free gifts. There was also information about the nutritional benefits of apples.
"There were people in-store helping to download the app; kids would play and count the apples and having people pointing their phones at boxes in the stores helped drive a bit of sales and create a buzz. It entertained the kids who hopefully got an time for free if they finished a level or two. And it was in 3D so it looked cool too.
Since its inception Digital Republic has racked up an number of awards, now employs 60 people and has opened an office in Dubai, which handles regional business. Mr Khalifa agrees with predictions that spending on mobile advertising will increase.

When Athena Haniotis is out advocating, she likes to wear a shirt that reads, Girls just want to have fundamental rights. It says a lot about who she is. A forceful activist among her peers and a member of the Health Care for the Homeless Board of Directors, Athena is committed to turning widespread notions about homelessness on their head.
"I see myself as a bit of a rebel because I'm challenging the stereotypes," she says.
Athena's childhood was marked by homelessness and abuse. But as an adult, she found years of stability in a good government job. Although she was experiencing growing health challenges, she kept a keen focus on self-care through holistic health and wellness practices. Homelessness was a thing of the past—until a single day in January 2012 changed everything. That day, Athena lost her government job, got into a car accident and broke up with her boyfriend. Overnight, she was back in the familiar space of having no resources and no place to go. And her health conditions were deteriorating.
"I felt let down and abandoned. It was a big blow and the roadblocks were challenging," Athena reflects. "They still hurt, but I recognize that I can't sit and stew in those moments. That's not how you survive. You've got to keep moving ahead."
Ever resilient, Athena eventually walked through the doors of Health Care for the Homeless to ask for help. She worked with nurses, therapists, dentists and more over the last few years to build up her health and get back on her feet.
Athena still doesn't have a place to call home, but she remains optimistic. She's using her experience and new leadership role on our board to make real change for others. She looks forward to educating policymakers about the realities of homelessness, especially among women and members of the LGBTQ community.
"It's a sense of pure joy and bliss to educate people," Athena says. "If I can lessen the load for someone else, then there's purpose for my experience."
Join Athena in advocating for the affordable housing, livable wages and quality health care we need to prevent and end homelessness in our community.


Admittedly, a friend of mine just opened an Etsy shop, selling pen work like calligraphy or other hand lettering. You can find it at Solus Calamum Designs. And, why not help generate flow to Ad Crucem if I can?
The other part of it is why not post my three session Bible study on barrenness somewhere other than my publication page? I mean, it's not like I'm seeking publication for it.
What do you think? Am I going overboard on resource pages? Am I dreaming to think a "Crafts and Crafted-for-Free" page would be practical and helpful? Part of me thinks the Fine Arts naturally sync together, and, if I'm supporting Lutheran writers, illustrators, graphic designers, etc., why not list professional crafters, too?
Maybe like the other pages, I'll see how much info I can get. Know crafters, jewelers, painters, photographers? Let me know if they have websites. I don't mean to advertise, exactly, or endorse, but acknowledging them seems fitting. Right?


The surface of the Prà Fiorì Glacier, exposed to the north and located below Cima Parto Fiorito (2903 m) in the southern area of the Brenta Dolomites, has shrunk by about 3 hectares from 1990 to 1999, from 11 to 8 ha. The latest surveys of 2011 report an extension area of 0.04 km2.
The Prato Fiorito Glacier is located in the Brenta Dolomites Group. According to the New Register of Italian Glaciers published in 2015, based on data collected in 2011, there are 20 small glaciers that cover a total area of 0.86 km2. These glaciers, such as the Prato Fiorito Glacier, have been most influenced by the effects of climate change. In fact they recorded the greatest contraction (up to a – 73%). Today, after almost a decade since the last official surveys, the situation has certainly changed. Some of the glaciers have disappeared or are running out.


Who doesn't love caramel? While it's usually just full of different kinds of refined sugars, there are great ways to create healthy caramel. Having said that, I present to you the latest member of the 'The Tasty K – Sweet Treats Family': the not-so-traditional Crunchy Caramel Slice! 🙂 Think about a fudgy chocolate base, followed by a delicious cream layer, a crunchy corn flake caramel middle, and topped with an ultra smooth chocolate frosting – drooling already? 😉And I haven't even mentioned the best part about this treat yet (apart from that it's freakin' delicious). Can you believe that there is a full can of chickpeas and a whole avocado hidden in there? Let's talk about healthy snacking!
As you might know, sneaking veggies into my dessert recipes is one of my absolute favorite things to do. You generally don't taste them, they are great plant-based replacements aaaand you're just getting that extra dose of nutrients while indulging – how great is that?
It can keep for 3-4 days in the fridge and a few weeks in the freezer. In case you store it in the freezer, just make sure to let it defrost before cutting and serving. I'd highly recommend letting it defrost at room temperature and then leaving it in the fridge as the frosting melt more quickly than the other layers. Also, I've heard people telling me that the longer they store it the soggier the cornflakes layer gets, so for an extra crunch, feel free to substitute the cornflakes with buckwheat groats, pieces of your favorite nuts etc.!
Regarding the size, I usually use a 8″ x 8″ square brownie tin, but feel free to use a rectangular size or whatever you have at home.
Place all base ingredients into a high speed blender. Use the tamper tool to mash it down and blend until smooth (it's ok if there are a few whole pieces here and there).
Line a brownie tin with parchment paper and place the base dough inside.
Press down evenly with your fingers or a spoon. Wet your fingers with water if it's too sticky and place in the freezer.
Add all cream layer ingredients into the blender and mix until smooth. Pour it over the chocolate base and place back into the freezer until firm.
Once firm, prepare the caramel filling. Add the dates, nut butter and coconut milk into the blender until smooth and pour into a bowl. Add the corn flakes and mix together until combined.
Place the caramel crunch layer on top of the cream layer and spread evenly. Place back into the freezer and prepare the frosting.
Simply place all ingredients into the blender until smooth. Place on top of the caramel and spread evenly with a spatula.
Place back into the freezer until firm and then place into the fridge. Let it thaw a bit before cutting.
Any substitute for the buckwheat groats?
Do you have a nutritional break down for this recipe?
I like the crunch! 🙂 But feel free to use chopped nuts or other less crunchy things..


"Eccentric Lime, Spring Azalea, or Sweet Orange"
As part of Hazel's mini-room-makeover, we recently bought her a STUVA shelf from IKEA (of course), which will soon be wall-mounted above her dresser.... I'm still not 100% sure how to go about wall mounting it, but I'm sure it'll get done. The shelf looks nice and bright against her new wall color- but we decided to inject some vibrancy into the unit by painting the back panel a bright color. And Jackie narrowed the color options to 3: Green, Pink, or Orange... And orange it was- because we're pretty sure that it's Hazel's favorite color, and because we're lacking some of those warm toned colors in our place.
the cabinet and had some playtime.
I just mixed up a little tester pot of color, and when I brought it home, Jackie noted that the paint looked like a tub of nacho cheese- which, admittedly, did taint the painting experience a bit. But, the paint job looks great- and no nacho chips were harmed in the process.
