Brit holidaymakers are detained for six days and DEPORTED from Tahiti under French travel ban on Brits… despite airline giving them green light to travel and official guidance that 'didn't make rules clear'
Steve Good, 31, and his partner Charlotte, 29, landed in Tahiti on December 20
But their holiday with their six-month-old daughter turned into a nightmare
They were told they would be deported immediately under French travel rules
But Mr Goode told MailOnline he was not informed that Covid travel rules banning Britons from entering France also applied to its overseas territories
He said he believes he and his family were caught up in the Britain-France row
His family was detained for six hours without food, and then put into a quarantine hotel for three days before being deported from the island
A British family were detained and then deported from Tahiti after a mix-up over Frankryk'S Omicron travel ban while on their £15,000 dream Pacific holiday.
Steve Goode, 31, and his partner Charlotte, 29, said their holiday with their six-month old daughter turned into a nightmare when they landed on December 20 and were informed they were to be deported immediately from the island in French Polynesia.
Officials told them British travellers were not welcome in French colonies under France's travel ban announced on December 16.
But Mr Goode has said he was not informed by the airline or French authorities, despite his family being issued with travel visas and allowed to board a flight to Tahiti from Die Engele, where they stopped off on the way from Londen.

Speaking to the MailOnline after their ordeal, Mr Goode said he believes his family was caught up in a political row between Britain and France, with relations between the two nations deteriorating in recent months.
'It was a complete and utter surprise when we landed,' hy het gesê. 'We made all reasonable steps. We got an ETIS (Visa) from the French, we got a negative PCR Covid-19 test, we got all of the necessary documents, we were approved to travel, the airline boarded us.
'It's the French-English situation – the French and British argument. We got stuck in the middle of this whole political (reis) ban that they've done,' hy het gesê.
Mr Goode said after going through passport control, they were held in a small room for almost six hours with no air conditioning, and were allegedly refused food.

Despite having their six-month-old daughter Penelope with them, Mr Goode said there were no concessions given by the border guards that held them.
'They were just horrendous,' hy het gesê. 'Awful. Especially as we've got a child as well, we thought there would be some form of concession.
'We asked for food, they said no. A couple of other British nationals were with us and they asked as well – "no". Then we asked for water and we got given this tiny cup with dirt at the bottom of it. It was tragic.'
The family had undergone a long journey to get to Tahiti – a Pacific island in French Polynesia that is one of France's overseas territories, en 9,500 miles from London.
They flew 11 hours from London to Los Angeles on December 17, where they stayed for three days. A paar dae later, they then flew a further nine hours from Los Angeles to Tahiti, where they landed on December 20.

They were meant to stay in French Polynesia until January 12, on a dream holiday that had already been postponed twice before and cost £15,000.
But upon their arrival in Tahiti, they were detained in the airport's holding area and told that they would be deported immediately, Mr Goode said.
'It wasn't a case of:"We've detained you because you're considered a public health risk,"' Mr Goode said.
'It was this constant line that British travellers are not welcome in France. "You're not welcome, you're not welcome." I don't know whether that was the language barrier, but it was just constant. "You're not welcome."'
While being held, hul dogter – who has health issues – began suffering from sickness and diarrhoea after the long wait in customs.
Mr Goode said the UK Foreign Office arranged for a doctor to speak to the family, who then told the French officials that Penelope should not fly again under any circumstances.
If the officials in Tahiti had not been swayed, Mr Goode said he and his family would have had to fly back at 8pm on December 21, despite having landed on December 20 at around 11pm local time, being held for six hours and having no sleep.
Instead of being deported straight away, the family of three were taken to a hotel under police guard. Video taken by Mr Goode shows his partner and daughter in a golf-cart type police vehicle with caged windows, driving through a resort on the island.

Their luggage can be seen in the vehicle, while a police guard is shown holding onto the rear of the cart.
They were then held in a hotel quarantine by police and told they could not leave their room. If they did, Mr Goode said, they could have been jailed.
'They took us to a quarantine hotel with the others – in a police car, with police guard – to a room. They asked us to sign a 10 page document all in French that they refused to translate into English. It was all very dictatorial,' he told MailOnline.
'What we were most surprised at were the conditions that we were held. We weren't allowed to leave the room, there were police guards walking up and down the street.
'Police were banging on the door a 1am to check we were there. You really had to keep your cool – there were some quite near-the-mark moments when I felt really angry about it,' onthou hy.
Mr Goode said there were other British nationals in the same position as them. One family, hy het gesê, had travelled from Los Angeles with an American family who had to wait outside the airport while their friends were held inside.
'All their family were crying outside because they were so upset, they didn't want to stay,' hy het gesê.
There were also two Finnish nationals, Mr Goode said. The pair had flown through London on their way to Los Angeles, and then on to Tahiti. As a result of their London stop-over, they were also held.
But the Finnish nationals were treated better by the officials than the British, according to Mr Goode.
'There was a marked difference in the way we were treated to the people from Finland. It felt that they were just so anti-us. Dit was 100 percent to do with the fact that we were Brits,' hy het gesê.
Mr Goode said after going through passport control, they were held in a small room for almost six hours with no air conditioning, and were allegedly refused food. Despite having their six-month-old daughter Penelope with them, Mr Goode said there were no concessions given by the border guards that held them
'If there were other nationals there that had travelled through the UK and there were no British nationals, I wouldn't have been surprised if they had juts said to them – do 10 dae [in quarantine] and then stay.'
Egter, that was not an option afforded to Mr Goode's family. He said while Tahitian officials offered to let them stay on hotel grounds in isolation for 10 dae, this offer was rescinded.
Die bestelling, hy het gesê, came from Paris and France's high commissioner, who told officials in Tahiti that they must be deported right away.
'We spoke to a couple of nice immigration officers – and they said, being honest with you, it's because Britain and France's relationship is not good,' Mr Goode said. 'The high commissioner kept saying – no – send them home.'
The family's ordeal came after Emmanuel Macron's government banned Britons from travelling to France, a measure taken to limit the spread of the Omicron Covid-19 variant.
But Mr Goode said he was assured by the airline – Air Tahiti – that the trip could still go ahead.
In a press release dated December 15, Tahiti released a statement saying in-line with France's measure, Britons would not be permitted to enter the island without a compelling reason, ruling out tourism.
The press release was not prominently placed on French travel guidance, requiring users to follow a number of links to find the correct guidance.
An apparently outdated guidance document, cited by Mr Goode, which said travellers from the United Kingdom were permitted, was also still available online.
Verder, in a screen-recording taken on Mr Goode's mobile phone of the same page on December 20 after he had landed in Tahiti, the press release can not be seen. This suggests, Mr Goode said, that the press release could have been added later and back-dated.
'They pre-dated it, and it was never there,' hy het gesê. 'And we even showed immigration and we said to them: "we appreciate that you don't want us here, but we would never have come here."

'The fact that the airline boarded us, US border control let us go, the hotel were there waiting for us, that gives you an indication that it wasn't just us. Everybody was surprised by this sudden rule.'
Mr Goode hit out at the airline, saying they should never have let them fly to Tahiti after the rules were updated. In plaas daarvan, hy het gesê, they boarded the family despite them being British.
'They boarded us, that's why I know that we followed the rules. As an airline, they have a duty to ensure passengers have the correct paperwork and are able to travel.
'The next day – the same thing happened. More people arrived. It was a couple with two young children from the UK. They arrived, and they weren't even allowed to leave the airport – they weren't even allowed to brush their teeth or go and wash,' hy het gesê.
Mr Goode told MailOnline that he has been in contact with the airline after the ordeal, and after they initially refused to pay the bill for the quarantine hotel.
The hotel happened to be the same hotel Mr Goode had booked for his family, and as they were leaving he was lumped with a bill for over £5,000 for the three-day quarantine stay – despite not being allowed to leave the room.
Woedend, he refused to pay. 'Eventually after about 45 minutes the police had phoned the airline and told the airline to pay the hotel bill,' hy het gesê.
On the response he's received from Air Tahiti about why they were allowed to fly, Mr Goode said: 'They've given me a preliminary response saying that it's not down to them to approve passengers for flights,' adding that the airline said it was his responsibility to know the rules.
'I'm going to fight to get my money back from them. I'm confident the travel insurance will help, but failing that, we will take a lawsuit out against Air Tahiti because they have a responsibility over people in their care,' hy het gesê.
But in particular, Mr Goode criticised the border officials in Tahiti.
While being held at the airport, he said not only were they refused food, but they were told to sign documentation that officials refused to offer in English.
He asked if he could have some time with the document to translate it using his phone, but he was refused.
'They said we had two choices –either we signed the document, of – and they showed us the inside of the holding cells inside the immigration facility. "Or you're going in here,"' he claims he was told.
Taking to Twitter on Friday – on Christmas Eve (op die foto) – Mr Goode said that the family had arrived safely back in the United States after being turned around
'Considering that France is a European Country and an apparent upholder of democracy, it really was a questionable human rights incident.'
Taking to Twitter on Friday – on Christmas Eve – Mr Goode said that the family had arrived safely back in the United States after being turned around.
'We are safely back in the US and settling down for Christmas,' hy het gesê, sharing the story of his family's nightmare in Tahiti.
'We will not tolerate being treated in this manner as human beings and hope [ons] story kicks the French Authorities up the back side in the hope no other families are treated in the same way.'
Mr Goode told the MailOnline that his family are currently in the United States deciding whether they can fly on to somewhere else to continue their holiday, or return home to the UK.
The Foreign Office confirmed to Die son aanlyn that they were 'assisting a British family in French Polynesia and are in contact with the Polynesian authorities.'
According to the statement put out on December 15 by Tahitian authorities, from 'December 17, 2021 at noon (Tahiti time), a compelling reason is required for travel between the United Kingdom and France (including overseas territories) regardless of the traveler's vaccination status.
Op die foto: A screenshot of a breaking news statement put out by Tahitian authorities announcing that French Polynesia would not allow Brits into the territory without a compelling reason. Egter, Mr Goode has said the statement was not on the page when he and his family landed in Tahiti on December 20, and has suggested it could have been back-dated
'The measures applied to adults extend under the same conditions to accompanying minors. These reasons do not allow travel for tourist or professional reasons.
'All visitors from the United Kingdom who have planned a trip to Tahiti And Her Islands as of today are asked to postpone their trip to a later date.'
The UK government has warned holidaymakers that Covid travel restrictions in other countries can change at short notice.
Intussen, Anglo-French relations have deteriorated over a number of sticking points, including the on-going row over fishing licenses, and France's decision to ban British travellers from entry despite reporting similar, if not higher cases of Covid-19.
The two countries have also clashed over migrants crossing the English channel, post-Brexit trade agreements and submarine sales to Australia.
Air Tahiti has been approached for comment by MailOnline.

All the experts say breast is best, but why do so many mothers with newborns shun this most natural of food sources?
A researcher at Swansea University believes it is a combination of social pressure and heavy marketing by the baby formula manufacturers.
Dr Amy Brown is very exercised about the subject so much so that she wrote a book on the issue. She talked about some of the issues involved during a session at the British Festival of Science at Swansea which comes to a close later today.
Biologically, breastfeeding is the only way to go, she said. It is the perfect food for newborns and reduces the risk of intestinal and respiratory infections in infants who receive breast milk.
Only 2 per cent of women cannot breastfeed for physical reasons which suggests many more are not feeding their babies for other reasons, she said.
"We have got to stop telling women breast is best. We need a new way of dealing with this," Dr Brown said.
The impact of this is seen in the statistics for breastfeeding, she said. About half of women in the United Kingdom start their children on breast milk but this drops rapidly over time with a quarter of women still feeding after six months and just 0.5 per cent still breastfeeding a year later. The comparable figure in the US is 30 per cent at the end of a year.
The situation is not much better in Ireland where just 55 per cent of mothers have ever breastfed, the lowest rate of breastfeeding in the world, according to a highly detailed study published last January in the Lancet.
The World Health Organisation – a strong backer of breastfeeding – suggests breast milk should be an infant's exclusive food for at least the first six months of its life.
There is an actual cost involved when fewer women breastfeed. The British health service spends about €40 million a year in treating newborns with acute gastrointestinal and respiratory infections, she said. Risks of both these conditions increase in the absence of breastfeeding.
With conflicting messages coming from formula manufacturers and lobby groups both for and against breastfeeding, it is difficult for a woman to decide what to do. "Women are not getting the information and support they need," Dr Brown said.
Breastfeeding Uncovered: Who really decides how we feed our babies? by Dr Brown will be published by Pinter and Martin in October.

Carl NIELSEN (1865-1931)
Symphony No. 5 (1920-1922) [34:28]
New York Philharmonic/Alan Gilbert
rec. live, Avery Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center, New York, 1-3 October 2014
reviewed as a 24/88.2 download
pdf booklet included
DACAPO 6.220625 SACD [71:25]
Alan Gilbert's traversal of Nielsen's six symphonies concludes with this pairing. I've already reviewed the previous instalments - Nos. 1 and 4 and Nos. 2 and 3 - and while I found things to admire in the latter, I was much less complimentary about the former. My colleague Jack Lawson went so far as to declare Gilbert's Second and Third 'one of the finest CDs ever produced … period' (review); he was slightly less enthusiastic about Nos. 1 and 4, where he commented on the orchestra's corporate character and lamented the lack of risk-taking (review). The 21st-century NYP do indeed play with a refinement that, while admirable in itself, doesn't always serve this music so well.
Mr Lawson invokes the spirit of Leonard Bernstein, whose Nielsen recordings for Sony/CBS in the 1960s sound as fresh and febrile now as they did then. Rather mischievously I've chosen Lenny's Fifth – with the flamboyant, old-style NYP – as my comparative version; there are other fine accounts from the likes of Jukka-Pekka Saraste, Ole Schmidt and Michael Schønwandt, but I'd be sorely tempted to take Bernstein's to my desert island. Listening to it in preparation for this review I was forcefully reminded why this is such a classic; Lenny heightens the work's mood swings to thrilling effect and the performance itself arcs and crackles like no other. Even the recording is good for its age; it's broad and beefy, although the strings are apt to glare and there's some break-up in the climaxes.
One of the hallmarks of Gilbert's Nielsen cycle is the generally fine engineering – one expects nothing less from Dacapo – but a full Avery Fisher Hall can sound rather dry. In terms of performance Gilbert doesn't make the start of this Fifth palpitate with barely concealed emotion in the way that Bernstein does; clearly one goes for the head, the other for the heart. These modern players major in clarity and discipline; nothing illustrates this more tellingly than the snare drum – Shostakovich, anyone? – which has little of the nerve-jangling intensity that one hears from Bernstein's team.
Gilbert is just too manicured in Nielsen's manic moments; he doesn't screw up the tension nearly as effectively or as consistently as Lenny does; indeed, the latter transfixes listeners with his increasingly impassioned progress. That's not to say he's rushed or garbled, just that he gives the music a strong – albeit extreme – character and sense of purpose. That said, Bernstein doesn't have it all his own way, for if Gilbert prefers a longer fuse in the first movement the pyrotechnics in the second are as spectacular and as intimidating as any. The downside is that it feels too much like opportunistic overload; iimpressive in iteslf it's curiously disconnected from what's gone before. I've noticed this fitful tendency in the other recordings in the cycle, and it's most distracting.
Now here's the thing; the NYP are no less assured for Bernstein, and yet they have a distinct character and flair that's missing under Gilbert. No doubt that has much to do with their unique, often turbulent, relationship with Lenny. There's a spontaneity, a give-and-take, in their recordings from the 1950s and 1960s that I just don't hear today. Bernstein's detractors will offer the standard riposte, that those vintage performances are more about the man than the music; perhaps, but I'd much rather hear this repertoire delivered with expressive elasticity than with the po-faced precision heard here. In fact it doesn't have to be either/or, since Schmidt, Schønwandt et al play this music comparatively straight without undermining its volatile temperament.
Nielsen's strangely oblique Sixth Symphony is well served by Schønwandt, who clearly relishes the score's Ivesian collisions and quirky juxtapositions. Saraste and Schmidt have their strengths too, but it's the latter who has the best grasp of the symphony's challenging architecture. Gilbert certainly articulates the gurglesome start to the Sixth very well, and the rest of the Tempo giusto is crisply done. The trouble is that I find myself listening to the orchestra rather than the music, and that's hardly ideal in this ever-shifting musical landscape. True, the woodwind playing in those chamber-like dialogues is ravishing and the rude interjections are startling, but beyond that there's little to sustain one's interest.
The crucial timps in the Humoreske are more dominant than they would be in the concert hall, but then that applies to Schønwandt as well. However, when it comes to interpretive insights the latter is much to be preferred; indeed, the rougher Danes drill straight down to the symphony's subtext, whereas their super-svelte American counterparts barely scratch the surface. That said, the silky NYP strings at the start of the Proposta seria are a joy to hear, as is the level of detail and timbral sophistication captured by the Dacapo engineers. Make no mistake, though, the rival versions Iisted above aren't that far behind in terms of sound; what they might lack in sheer amplitude they more than make uo for in conviction and coherence.
If you're looking for shadows here – for things that go bump in the night – then you'll be disappointed, for Gilbert plays the Tema con variazioni with the lights blazing. It's left to Schønwandt to make the most of the score's spectral episodes; he also handles the dark waltz far more convincingly than Gilbert does. Ditto those hammering intrusions, which ought to be far more terrifying than Gilbert allows. Even Osmo Vänskä, who recorded the work in 1999 as part of his underrated BIS cycle, finds far more incident and atmosphere in the finale. The big-boned recording is terrific – listen to that bass drum – and the BBC Scottish Symphony play with gusto throughout.
I'm always happy to celebrate exemplary musicianship and top-notch sonics, both of which are present here in abundance, but without that all-important intellectual/emotional connection such excellence doesn't count for much. Taken in toto Gilbert's recorded Nielsen is just too calculated for my tastes, and it doesn't begin to challenge the best in the catalogue. Still, it's a beautifully presented package that's sure to appeal more to others than it does to me.
The sound and the fury, signifying very little; old rivals still hold sway.

The 5.0 surround track has an unfortunate fault. The right and centre channels are reversed. This completely throws an otherwise fine recording because the sound field collapses to the left. If the user can easily reverse the R and C leads then the sound picture is excellent.

Mrs. Goodfellow (1767-1851) made a lemon pudding (pie) at her cooking school and shop in early Phila. (more HERE). I've not found any proof that she created the first 'lemon meringue pie' - unlikely since she used whole eggs and first mention (no source given) was in a 1987 book. Her lemon pudding was popular and copied into several local authors' cook books. More details and three recipes are below.
The recipe first appeared in her student, Eliza Leslie's (1787-1858) first book from her cooking school notes - Seventy-five Receipts for Pastry, cakes, and Sweetmeats. Two years later, a Philadelphia publisher, James Kay, jun. added American recipes to his 1830 edition of a very popular Mackenzie's Five Thousand Receipts… with a slight flavor change using Madeira and orange flower water. (see below). This recipe was used later in a Godey's magazine in 1874.
In her last book Miss Leslie's New Cookery Book 1857, Leslie claimed the lemon pudding was 'introduced' by Mrs. Goodfellow who had died in 1851. She hadn't stated that in previous works, or that she was using her cooking class notes in her first cookbook. It may have been useful to finally admit she had been a student (thus having the original recipe) to sell the new cookbooks to Mrs. Goodfellow's old customers, or the locals who remembered her, and who couldn't obtain a favorite dessert from the shop anymore.
Generally, lemon meringue pies were made with egg yolks to form the custard filling, and then the whites would be beaten stiff with sugar, put on the baked pie, and returned to the oven to brown. A delicious way to use the 'left over' egg whites. Mrs. Goodfellow used whole eggs for her filling, thus had no egg whites, so she would have to separate even more eggs for the whites, then make custards, then... It is more likely that another baker using egg yolks for the filling first combined the two for the famous pie.
So far the first mention (with no source or footnote) that Mrs. Goodfellow "introduced to Americans" the Lemon Meringue Pie that I have found is in The Larder Invaded: Reflections on Three Centuries of Philadelphia Food and Drink, by Mary Anne Hines, Gordon M. Marshall, and William Woys Weaver, 1987. Unfortunately this claim has spread wildly, in various books, blogs, etc. If anyone has any proof ... let me know!
By 1871 the name Lemon Meringue appeared with the recipe in Marion Harland's Common Sense in the Household published in New York. Harland was raised in Virginia then moved north. Her 'lemon meringue pudding' had bread crumbs, milk, etc. and yolks.
An earlier description (1866), in book also published in New York - Jennie June's American Cookery Book - was 'Kitty May's lemon cream pie' - "bake until nearly done, then take from the oven, and pour over it a frosting made of the beaten whites of the two eggs, and two table-spoonsful of powdered sugar, then...brown lightly. One of the best pies ever eaten." She also listed "lemon meringue pie" in a couple menus.
Although none of the recipes attributed to Goodfellow for her lemon pudding/pie had meringues, whipping egg whites and putting them on top of a pudding and then browning was nothing new.
*Mary Randolph in her Virginia Housewife, 1828 used it in her delightfully quirky-named (and delicious) Burnt Custard HERE as did British authors for years.
*French chef Francois Massialot (1660-1733) and his Crème Brulee.
*Meringue 'cookies' with various flavors, and others with more sugar - small hard chocolate puffs HERE were also popular in the Federal / Regency period.
*Meringue was also put on top of stewed apples in apple meringues or apple meringue pies, peaches, rice or other meringues.
As for a popular icing of that time - the stiffly beaten egg whites and sugar. It was not the whipped egg white looking-like-marshmallow-fluff frosting. The old icing was spread thinly and smoothly on the cake and slowly dried to form a hard protective cover, then another layer was added and dried. The image and poem are from 1844 of a Christmas cake, more HERE.
And now for her recipes. I made the first one, and, though flavorful and a thick sturdy flan-like custard consistency, half the butter could/should have been left out.
One lemon, with a smooth thin rind.
A quarter pound of powdered white sugar.
A quarter pound of fresh butter—washed.
A table-spoonful of white wine and brandy, mixed.
Five ounces of sifted flour, and a quarter of a pound of fresh butter, for the paste [crust].
Grate the yellow part of the rind of a small fresh lemon. Then cut the lemon in half, and squeeze the juice into the plate that contains the grated rind, carefully taking out all the seeds. Mix the juice and rind together. Put a quarter of a pound of powdered white sugar into a deep earthen pan, and cut up in it a quarter of a pound of the best fresh butter. If the weather is very cold, set the pan near the fire, for a few. minutes, to soften the butter, but do not allow it to melt or it will be heavy. Stir the butter and sugar together, with a stick or wooden spoon, till it is perfectly light and of the consistence of cream.
Put the eggs into a shallow broad pan, and beat them with an egg-beater or rods, till they are quite smooth, and as thick as a boiled custard. Then stir the eggs, gradually, into the pan of butter and sugar. Add the liquor and rose-water by degrees, and then stir in, gradually, the juice and grated rind of the lemon. Stir the whole very hard after all the ingredients are in.
Have ready a puff-paste made of five ounces of sifted flour, and a quarter of a pound of fresh butter. The paste must be made with as little water as possible. Roll it out in a circular sheet, thin in the centre, and thicker towards the edges, and just large enough to cover the bottom, sides, and edges of a soup-plate. Butter the soup-plate very well, and lay the paste in it, making it neat and even round the broad edge of the plate. With a sharp knife, trim off the superfluous dough, and notch the edges. Put in the mixture with a spoon, and bake the pudding about half an hour, in a moderate oven. It should be baked of a very light brown. If the oven is too hot, the paste will not have time to rise well. If too cold, it will be clammy. When the pudding is cool, grate loaf sugar over it.
Before using lemons for any purpose, always roll them awhile with your hand on a table. This will cause them to yield a larger quantity of juice.
To make two puddings take two fine large ripe lemons, and rub them under your hand on a table. Grate off the thin yellow rind upon a large lump of loaf sugar. Cut the lemon, and squeeze the juice into a saucer through a strainer, to avoid the seeds. Put half a pound of powdered white sugar into a deep earthen pan, (including the sugar on which you have rubbed the lemons) and cut up in it half a pound of the best fresh butter, adding the juice. Stir them to a light cream with a wooden spaddle, which is shorter than a mushstick, and flattened at one end; that end rather thin, and rather broad. Beat in a shallow pan, (with hickory rods) six eggs, till very thick and smooth, and stir them gradually into the mixture. Have ready some of the best puff-paste, made in the proportion of a pint or half a pound of very nice fresh butter to a pint or half a pound of sifted flour. Take china or white-ware dishes with broad rims. Butter the rim, and lay round it neatly a border of the paste. Put no paste inside the dish beneath the mixture. Fill each dish to the top with the pudding mixture, and set it immediately into the oven. It will bake in about half an hour when done, and browned on the surface, set it to cool, and send it to table in the dish it was baked in.
Fine puddings are now made without an under crust, but merely a handsome border of puff-paste laid round the edge, and helped with the pudding. Sift sugar over the surface. This quantity will make one large pudding, or two small ones. To almost all puddings the flavor of lemon or orange is an improvement.
A genuine baked lemon pudding, (such as was introduced by the justly celebrated Mrs. Goodfellow,) and is well known at Philadelphia dinner parties, must have no flour or bread whatever. The mixture only of butter, sugar, and eggs, (with the proper flavoring) and when baked it cuts down smooth and shining, like a nice custard. Made this way, they are among the most delicious of puddings; but, of course, are not intended for children or invalids. We have already given numerous receipts for plain family desserts. In this chapter the receipts are "for company." The author [Leslie] was really a pupil of Mrs. Goodfellow's, and for double the usual term, and while there took notes of every thing that was made, it being the desire of the liberal and honest instructress that her scholars should learn in reality.
Take of butter (the very best) and loaf sugar, each half a pound, beat them to a froth as for pound-cake, add five eggs, the juice of half of a large or the whole of a small lemon. Grate into it the outside yellow rind, but not an atom of the white—half a glass of Madeira, half a glass of brandy, a tea-spoonful of orange-flower water, pour it into your paste, and bake with a moderate oven.
N. B. The above quantities make three common puddings.
Mrs Goodfellow's orange pudding. Proceed as above, using a pounded orange in place of the lemon.

Should I embed my YouTube videos onto my website or host them myself?
In the majority of cases for our clients, I do not believe that it's a good idea to embed YouTube videos onto your website. While this topic is hotly debated in the video and SEO world, I would argue that more times than not, doing so will actually drive people away from your site. Talk about counterproductive!
You will find that the majority of information out there says that it is a good idea to embed YouTube videos, but those people are referring to content management systems like WordPress and Joomla. DSS, our proprietary CMS and inbound marketing software, has a lot more going for it than these less sophisticated systems and actually makes hosting videos extremely easy.
Here are the top four reasons I believe you should think twice before embedding a YouTube video:
Advertising for the enemy. When you embed a YouTube video you can't control what shows up after the video. Videos from other lawyers or competing businesses are likely to pop up as recommended videos after yours has stopped playing. Modern humans are more distractible than goldfish, so when they get to the end of your video and see other options you run the very real risk of having them go off-page and even find another attorney, doctor, or business. No bueno!
Loss of control. The fact that you have full control over the video you host is very, very important. When you add your video to YouTube, you lose full control of your videos; it's the price you pay for their hosting services. However, when you load your own videos, you have total control of them, and don't have to play by any else's rules.
The annoyance factor. As I said in number one, when you embed a YouTube video on your site that video is likely to begin and end with an advertisement. Ads annoy users, so when they pop up, you run the risk an ad sending people off your website. However, when you host your own videos, users will be able to watch your videos without having to worry about an ad popping up on their screens.
Level of difficulty. You hear a lot of people recommending embedding YouTube videos on a website because it is hard to create a separate video section. And with systems like WordPress or any similar content management system, this is true! But our clients have access to DSS, our proprietary marketing software, which includes a video section and a crazy easy uploading system. People also say that load times are improved with videos embedded with YouTube, but for our clients, bandwidth isn't an issue for websites run through DSS.
The Right Time to Embed YouTube Videos on Your Website
Though I've given you several reasons not to embed YouTube videos in your website, I am not totally against embedding a few of them on your site. A few embedded here and there can give the YouTube videos additional views, thereby boosting their search rankings on YouTube. And some people do like to see the YouTube logo on your site; it can make the videos seem more "legit." But I really wouldn't recommend making this the main way you are posting videos on the site, so choose the videos you embed carefully and keep an eye on how they're converting.

The past few years have seen a whole sub-industry grow up around the topic of content marketing. You probably have your own broad or finely-tuned definition of what it is. But the bigger question is what purpose does it serve? Find the answer to that and you'll have a better idea of what your content needs to be about.
Above all, content marketing should be about more than pushing people to your site — it's not all about SEO. Let me explain why.
Some time last century a sales manager I worked beside told me there were three stages to successful professional selling — empathise, educate, sell. The key to getting it right was to give all three equal weight. Where poorer sales people often got it wrong was in going straight for the jugular — starting off with product or service benefits before understanding what the customer's issues were.
That old fashioned model of having a sales team to respond to sales enquiries has disappeared in many industries — thanks to the internet giving buyers the power to research markets without having to talk to sales people. So, in a world where the buyer holds all the cards, and might already be two thirds into the buying process, does the old empathise, educate, sell triangle still have a place?
I would argue that it does, and that in fact content marketing completes the triangle, by delivering the educate element that a good face-to-face salesperson would have provided. You could say that content marketing is an activity that helps to create an environment which makes sales easier.
So how does that alter the way we think about content marketing? We meet a lot of organisations who are 'getting more content up on their website'. If we asked any of them to share their written content strategy, we suspect it wouldn't produce too many responses. Some are putting more content up because they already have it offline, while others are driven by SEO considerations. For me, neither of them sound like good reasons for content marketing, and they certainly don't throw any light on what your content should really be about.
For me, there are five key things to remember about your content marketing campaigns. There may be others too, but if you get these five right you're well on your way.
Make it an education piece – not a discussion or a point of view. Give your users facts and information.
Have a content plan — and I don't mean 'let's make all our press releases a blog'. Split your marketing year into handy month-sized chunks, and write down what you'll do in each one, and do it.
Ask your sales team — if you have one. They're often full of anecdotal information that gives you clues about your customers' concerns.
Define your tone of voice — if you haven't done so already. You might be calling on colleagues or freelance writers for help. Make sure they understand what you sound like.
Promote your content — it's unlikely the world will beat a path to your door so figure out how you're going to let people know about your content.
When I was writing this article I had the B2B market firmly in mind. Parts of it might also be relevant for B2C — you can decide that one for yourself too.
I haven't mentioned the benefits of content marketing; I'm trying to educate rather than sell.
If content marketing was my key phrase I've used it 10 times, giving me a keyword density of 3.14% according to seobook.com We could argue all day whether that's too high or too low, or agree not to argue.


In an effort to demonstrate how effective mobile marketing can be across many industries, we'll be publishing examples for industries we at Vibes have worked with...beyond retail. If you haven't read SMS and Mobile Wallet Provide Innovative Solutions for Financial Services Companies, we encourage you to check it out, as it's got some interesting ideas for financial enterprises.
Today, we wanted to address an industry where consumers rely heavily on their phones: travel and hospitality.
Mobile has become an increasingly important tool for travelers: where in 2014, mobile travel sales were just 31.95% of all travel sales, in 2018, they're estimated to be 86.2% — more than double in just four years. As travel and hospitality brands find innovative ways to use mobile marketing, consumers are adopting these tools and communication channels in flocks. They love how effortless travel has become, thanks to having easy access to travel information and documents on their phones.
Airlines are glomming onto the fact that travelers want information about delayed flights, gate changes, and other flight updates, and are sending those via text message.
Imagine the headache you could help people avoid simply by letting them know that trains will be crowded during a certain time! Partnering with Lyft or Uber, as an example, to offer discounts for people who subscribe to your public transportation service's SMS/MMS messages is one way you can further the bond with your customers while keeping things moving during high-traffic events.
Another great marketing tool for travel and hospitality businesses is the mobile wallet. Not every traveler wants to download an airline's app, especially if they aren't frequent travelers on that airline. Being able to save a flight reservation to a mobile wallet makes it easy for them to open and scan their ticket at the airport. No app needed.
Additionally, that reservation housed in the mobile wallet can provide details about a journey, including departure and arrival time, seat information, how to cancel or modify ticket, etc. A user can opt into getting automatic push notifcation updates for that reservation, which keeps them notified of important changes.
Consumers love loyalty cards, but who wants to carry them on a trip? Having digital loyalty cards in a mobile wallet allows a traveler to take advantage of loyalty programs, no matter where they are. You could even send push notification offers for brands they wouldn't know about otherwise when you detect their location in a new city.
If you've ever taken an Uber or Lyft, you know that you are updated every few seconds with the status of your requested ride and the location of your driver. It's immensely useful, particularly if you're in a strange city.
Push notifications provide a value-add to travelers in that they keep them updated of important details about their voyages and make it easy to click to access boarding passes or tickets. If a traveler is on standby or an upgrade list with an airline, they can get push notifications to keep them apprised of their status.
Mobile marketing for the travel and hospitality industries provides incredible value to travelers. When they have less stress, they enjoy their journey all the more.

Beautiful and Brutal: 50 years in the life of Preston Bus Station
Preston Bus Station is an internationally important piece of architecture that was built for everyday use by the people of Preston. Now in its 50th year, Charles Quick, artist and co-curator of 'In Certain Places', is collaborating with the Harris to re-present and reveal Preston Bus Station through archives, collections, artist's commissions and interventions, which will permeate spaces throughout the Harris.
Built in 1969 by BDP, Preston Bus Station was the largest in Europe – a space-age structure built in the same year as the moon landing. Its strong architectural presence has inspired a wealth of artists, filmmakers and photographers, including Shezad Dawood and Nathaniel Mellors. Existing work will feature alongside new contemporary art commissions by Low Profile and Keith Harrison to reveal aspects of the architecture on site and in the Harris. Low Profile will explore the role of people in the building's identity through a large-scale participatory artwork. Keith Harrison, known for his sculptural and audio work, will be creating original pieces as part of the project.
Preston Bus Station was saved from demolition after a 13 year campaign initiated by the people of Preston and is now grade 2 listed. It has been revitalised through an extensive restoration programme by Lancashire County Council and John Puttick architects, which will be completed later this year. Its beautiful and brutal form has regained its former glory – loved by many and loathed by some. Whatever your opinion it is one of Preston's most distinctive pieces of architecture and is a place where the daily transactions of the city take place.
A complimentary events programme at Preston Bus Station and the Harris will include films, talks, tours and workshops to contextulise the social architecture of the building and its role in the city.

If Spindletop is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Beaumont, you're missing out. This Texas Gulf Coast city has become a cultural hotspot, where you'll find world-class botanical gardens, art galleries, theaters, and museums. Chief among them is the Art Museum of Southeast Texas (AMSET), a long-standing institution that showcases permanent and rotating exhibits of modern and 19th- and 20th-century fine and folk art from the region.
Nearly 2,000 pieces of the Art Museum of Southeast Texas's permanent collection, from paintings and sculptures to prints and photography, are rotated throughout the year. Highlights include pieces by world-renowned artists and Beaumont natives John Alexander and Paul Manes, whose works have been exhibited in such notable venues as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City, as well as the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
Other highlights include collages by award-winning artists Al Souza and Mary McCleary; an oil painting entitled Low Tide by Dallas native David Bates; and X-Log by North Texas artist Helen Altman, who uses household objects in new, eye-opening ways to challenge viewers' perspectives. Along with the wonders of its permanent collection, you will likely find the semi-permanent gallery dedicated to the works of Felix "Fox" Harris, with its 26 totem-like sculptures made from recycled materials, to be among the museum's most striking pieces.
As many as 10 temporary exhibits will pass through the museum over the course of a year, featuring significant Texas art, folk-art sculptures, and photographs. Previous exhibits include Ellen Tanner's work from three series in Fables, Families and Myths, Shaun Robert's oil paintings inspired by Italian Renaissance and Baroque masters in Rebels and Renegades, and Anthony Sonnenberg's installation, Still Stage, Set Life.
At exhibition openings, the featured artists typically give a gallery talk for museum patrons. Temporary works by local artists can also be found in the museum's in-house café known as Two Magnolias, through a program called, fittingly, Café Arts. Check out AMSET's upcoming exhibitions here.
Because, as Picasso once said, "Every child is an artist," AMSET also offers a variety of programs designed to instill in kids of all ages a love of the arts. Ignite your child's creativity at the Conn Take pArt Gallery, where kids take part in hands-on activities at different activity stations designed to make the art museum's current exhibits more accessible. These activities, which have included making sugar skulls for Dia de los Muertos, edible sculptures, and dreidels during the holidays, change with the exhibits to maintain one consistent theme. The museum's free C-Space Computer Lab provides iPads for child-friendly art education and simulated art-making during regular hours. The Summer ArtVentures Camps, Family Art Days, and Art-To-Go outreach program are also important ways AMSET serves the youth of the community.
But the staff and volunteers of AMSET want to make art-lovers out of Texans of all ages, which is why the museum offers tours to groups of virtually any size at no charge. Reservations are necessary because the education department will be tailoring your tour and activities to the ages and education levels represented in your group. Call (409) 832-3432 or fill out the online tour request form today and discover what treasures lay inside the amazing Art Museum of Southeast Texas!

With more commands than you can shake a stick at, here are some that might be useful.
First steps on a newly installed server.
After launch a new server, that was not a full install of my own, I have found that the following steps help get it to a working state with a basic level of security. This is not all inclusive and it really just a baseline. This is specific to Ubuntu, but can be easily modified for any flavor of Linux.


It's about time I introduced you to the quintessential Persian side dish, sabzi khordan. What it is, is basically an assortment of different herbs trimmed, washed, and beautifully arranged on a platter. It is eaten as an accompaniment to many Persian dishes and sandwiches. I have given a sneak peak preview of it on couple of my previous posts here and here.
Beside being a side dish, sabzi khordan also serves as a very nostalgic breakfast or afternoon snack. Wrapped in Persian flat bread along with some feta and walnuts, the herbs makes for a very refreshing snack after a siesta.
To prepare sabzi khordan, it's better if you use the Persian equivalent of most herbs like parsley, basil or mint. Persian herbs are more tender and smaller compared to their Western counterparts. You can purchase Persian herbs from most Middle Eastern stores.
Remove the tough stems and any yellow part of the herbs. Remove the green parts of the green onions and leaves from the radishes.
Cut four slices into the radishes from tips to about 1/2 inch of the bottom so the four slices remain attached. Depending on the size of your green onions cut 2 or more slices into the green onions about 1/3 of the length. The more cuts you make in the green onions the more beautiful it'll look.
Soak all herbs along with radishes and green onions in a very large bowl with plenty of water for about 20 minutes. You need plenty of water and room in the bowl so that the herbs rise to the top and there is room for the dust and mud to sink to the bottom.
Gently transfer the herbs to a colander without disturbing the water. Rinse out the water and clean the bowl. Repeat the soaking and rinsing step until there's no mud at the bottom of the bowl. The segments in the radishes and green onions will open up and start to look like florets.
Spread the herbs on a clean towel and let them dry.
Arrange on a large platter and serve.

"Electioneering close to the polls is banned in America, but this picture from Berlin shows a line of voters waiting to cast their ballots in the August plebiscite with uniformed officers standing with pro-Hitler placards in front of the polling place. The placard on the man in the foreground reads: "Ja" ("yes"), and "Feuherer [sic] Wir Folgen Dir" (Master We Follow Thee). -- Picture is from the International News Photograph Service" -- Examiner clipping attached to verso, dated, "Sep 9, 1934".


Over the past few years I have approximately recapitulated the art history of the past 100 years in my work. I feel like I am now ready to move past what has been done into unexplored areas, or at least into new modes of art that are not exactly the same as what other artists have done in the past. I was stuck for a while in the fauve and abstract expressionist eras, but now I realize I've been creeping past Warhol and Jasper Johns as well. Marcel Duchamp is still my hero, though.
I am completely unschooled in art, unless you count the Jon Gnagy show on television, an Art Appreciation class at WVU, and some art instruction books I bought, most of which were glanced through once or twice and thereafter languished on the shelves. I'm an experimentalist, a raw-vision artist, an outsider, but do not, in my own esteem, possess an untrained eye, nor is my work what you would call "primitive." I think a lot of my art exhibits some manner of sophistication and polish not usually attributable to "outsiders." But I could be wrong.
If you are interested in more mundane information, or are looking for a dynamic, innovative employee, have a look at My Online Resume. I am available on short notice for contract or freelance work of any kind. I am also interested in permanent, full-time positions.
John Hudkins, Art Critic for The Charleston Daily Mail, said, "Like many of us who struggle at being artists, Mollohan gropes, occasionally finds, but sometimes loses. . . His art is exploratory, cerebral, and contains a strong vein of personal symbolism. . . rich vibrancy, organic quality, and innovative design. . . highly recommended."
My "Art" includes Electronically created paintings, Mail Art, Visual and Concrete Poetry, Dada and Surreal Poems (as well as more traditional verse), Acrylic paintings, pastels, pencil drawings, collage, and constructions. A lot of my art and poetry blurs the distinction between literature and art.
My paintings and collages are in private collections from New York to California. So far MOMA and the Guggenheim have not seen fit to include any of my work in their collections. I have had pieces in Mail Art exhibits in Miami, Rochester, New York, and Quebec.
Recently my art work has appeared in several avant garde magazines and one of my concrete poem/collage pieces has graced the cover of Lost and Found Times, a literary magazine published out of Ohio State University. Invisible Books, London, UK recently published a Lost and Found Times anthology called Loose Watch (ISBN 0-9521256-8-4). My piece, "Press On New Leader-- how are you?" is on page 201. I had several pieces in X-tant 4 and other publications. I put out a chapbook of some poems in 2004. My expected book of visual poetry will probably not be published, although I can still hope.
Haiku Canada Magazine used one of my visual poems as cover art for one of their issues. Some of my poems have been featured in PoetryMagazine.com.
In the spring of 2005 one of my visual poetry pieces was in a show at Harvard. Some of my concrete poetry was included in a survey poetry class at the University of Iowa the fall semester of 2005.

Census Bureau to miss deadline, jeopardizing Trump plan
December 30, 2020, 7:54 p.m. ·5 min read
The Census Bureau will miss a year-end deadline for handing in numbers used for divvying up congressional seats, a delay that could undermine President Donald Trump's efforts to exclude people in the country illegally from the count if the figures aren't submitted before President-elect Joe Biden takes office.
The Census Bureau plans to deliver a population count of each state in early 2021, as close to the missed deadline as possible, the statistical agency said in a statement late Wednesday.
"As issues that could affect the accuracy of the data are detected, they are corrected," the statement said. "The schedule for reporting this data is not static. Projected dates are fluid."
It will be the first time that the Dec. 31 target date is missed since the deadline was implemented more than four decades ago by Congress.
Internal documents obtained earlier this month by the House Committee on Oversight and Reform show that Census Bureau officials don't expect the apportionment numbers to be ready until days after Biden is inaugurated on Jan. 20.
Once in office, Biden could rescind Trump's presidential memorandum directing the Census Bureau to exclude people in the country illegally from numbers used for divvying up congressional seats among the states. An influential GOP adviser had advocated excluding them from the apportionment process in order to favour Republicans and non-Hispanic whites.
"The delay suggests that the census bureau needs more time to ensure the accuracy of census numbers for all states," said Terri Ann Lowenthal, a former congressional staffer who specializes in census issues.
By law the Commerce Department must present the president by year's end with population figures from the 2020 census, data then used to determine how many seats in Congress each state gets. The president then is required to submit the numbers to Congress in early January. The Commerce Department oversees the Census Bureau, which conducts the once-a-decade head count of every U.S. resident.
However, there are no penalties for missing the deadline.
"For the Census Bureau, goals No. 1 , 2 and 3 are completeness, accuracy and usefulness. They like to maintain the schedule, but that can't be a priority for them," said Kenneth Prewitt, a former Census Bureau director during President Bill Clinton's administration.
Besides deciding how many House seats each state gets, the census is used for determining how $1.5 trillion in federal funding is distributed each year.
Trump's July order on apportionment was challenged in more than a half dozen lawsuits around the U.S., but the Supreme Court ruled earlier this month that any challenge was premature, allowing the plan to move forward. The Census Bureau hasn't publicly revealed how it plans to determine who is in the country illegally since the Supreme Court last year prohibited a citizenship question from being added to the census questionnaire.
After the pandemic caused hiring shortages and prompted the Census Bureau to suspend field operations in the spring, the statistical agency asked Congress for extensions. The requests included one that would push the deadline for handing in the apportionment numbers from the end of the year to next spring.
At the time, Trump said, "This is called an act of God. This is called a situation that has to be. They have to give it."
The request passed the Democratic-controlled House but went nowhere in the Republican-controlled Senate after Trump issued his order.
A coalition of municipalities and advocacy groups sued the Trump administration after it changed the schedule once again to shorten census field operations by a month and return to the Dec. 31 deadline for handing in the apportionment numbers. The plaintiffs argued the count was shortened by the Commerce Department so that census data-crunching happened while Trump was still in office, and they said it would cause minorities to be undercounted.
They also worried that the shortened field operations and data processing would jeopardize the count's accuracy and completeness. Bureau statisticians have been given only half the time originally planned to crunch the numbers, and Census Bureau director Steven Dillingham said last month that agency statisticians had found anomalies in the 2020 data that have popped up in past censuses.
The Census Bureau's watchdog agency on Wednesday said it was concerned about lapses in quality control checks meant to detect falsifications by census takers. The Office of Inspector General said the Census Bureau failed to complete 355,000 re-interviews of households to verify their information was accurate.
Even top Census Bureau officials internally questioned being able to meet the Dec. 31 deadline, with associate director Tim Olson telling colleagues in an email that anyone who thought the census numbers could be crunched by year's end "has either a mental deficiency or a political motivation." The email was disclosed in the litigation.
Former Census Bureau director John Thompson said the quality of the data is "the overarching issue" facing the Census Bureau.
"If these are not addressed, then it is very possible that stakeholders including the Congress may not accept the results for various purposes including apportionment," said Thompson, who oversaw 2020 census preparation as the agency's leader during the Obama administration.
He said in an email that missing the Dec. 31 target date "means that the Census Bureau is choosing to remove known errors from the 2020 Census instead of meeting the legal deadline."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs had lost Patrick Mahomes to a concussion and were in danger of losing the game. Then their defence and Chad Henne — their defence and Chad Henne?! — kept their Super Bowl hopes alive with a 22-17 victory over the Cleveland Browns that advanced them to the AFC championship game. With their star quarterback reduced to a spectator, the oft-forgotten bunch opposite Mahomes' high-powered offence forced the Browns to punt in the waning minutes Sunday. Then, his 35-year-old backup showed some moxie with a long third-down scramble and fourth-down completion to Tyreek Hill — when audacious Andy Reid decided to go for it — with just over a minute left, giving the Chiefs a first down and allowing them to run out the clock. "That's why we love Big Red. He's always on time," Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu said of the decision to go for the fourth down. "We always knew he has one play on the table." Mahomes hadn't played in 21 days, since the Chiefs clinched the AFC's top seed in Week 16, but he hardly missed a beat before leaving midway through the third quarter. He finished 21 of 30 for 255 yards and touchdowns passing and running. Harrison Butker added three field goals for the Chiefs, who nearly blew a 19-3 lead but held on to become the first AFC team to host three consecutive conference championship games. They'll face the Buffalo Bills next Sunday. Baker Mayfield threw for 204 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Browns, who were coming off their first playoff win since the 1994 season. But their inability to drive for the winning touchdown — they punted with 4:23 left in the game — kept them from winning two playoff games in a season for the first time since 1950. Mahomes completed 11 of his first 12 passes and led the Chiefs to back-to-back touchdowns to start the game. Mahomes ran for the first and let Travis Kelce turn a dump-off into a 20-yard catch for the other, making him the first player since Steve Young in 1995 with three straight playoff games with TDs on the ground and through the air. In fact, Mahomes was so sharp passing in the first half that he even completed a celebratory heave to a lucky fan in the far reaches of Arrowhead Stadium's upper deck following his touchdown jaunt. After the teams swapped field goals, with Butker breaking the Chiefs playoff record with a 50-yarder into the wind, the Browns marched for what could have been a momentum-swinging score heading into halftime. But just when wide receiver Rashard Higgins tried to stretch over the goal line for a touchdown, the Chiefs' Daniel Sorensen arrived to deliver a hit, popping the ball loose and into the end zone for a touchback — the call stood after a video review. Compounding the miscue for Cleveland? The Chiefs had 1:32 left, plenty of time for Mahomes to get them within range of Butker's strong right leg. His chip-shot field goal gave Kansas City a 19-3 halftime lead. The entire complexion of the game changed early in the third quarter, though. First, the Browns held the Chiefs when Mayfield threw an interception and Butker missed a field goal off the upright. Then, Mayfield led them briskly the other way, capping a 77-yard drive with a touchdown throw to Jarvis Landry. And finally, roughly 17,000 fans allowed into the stadium because of the pandemic were left sitting in stunned silence when Mahomes was tackled around the head with 7:27 left in the quarter and was left crumpled on the turf near midfield. Mahomes, already hobbled by a foot injury, stumbled as he tried to get to his feet. He was eventually helped to the blue tent on the sideline, then ran to the locker room, where he was evaluated for a concussion. The momentum finally turned, the Browns began to lean heavily on their vaunted run game, which had produced just 18 yards in the first half. Chubb converted on fourth down with a hard run, then Hunt followed another fourth-down conversion on the same drive by hitting the end zone against his former team to make it 22-17 with 11:07 to go. It remained with Cleveland when Karl Joseph picked off Henne in the end zone a few minutes later, but the Chiefs defence stuff Nick Chubb on first down, forced an incompletion and ultimately made Cleveland punt it away. The Browns never got another chance. BACK ON THE FIELD Browns coach Kevin Stefanski made his playoff head coaching debut after missing last week's game in Pittsburgh because of COVID-19. Pro Bowl OL Joel Bitonio and CBs Denzel Ward and Kevin Johnson also were back from their illnesses. INJURIES Browns: LT Jedrick Wills Jr. left with an ankle injury on their first offensive play. His backup, Kendall Lamm, left with an elbow injury, forcing Blake Hance to make his second NFL appearance. Chiefs: RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) was inactive after returning to practice this week for the first time since mid-December. CB Bashaud Breeland left in the fourth quarter with a concussion. UP NEXT The Chiefs begin preparing for the Bills next Sunday. They beat them 26-17 in Buffalo in Week 6. ___ More AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFL and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL Dave Skretta, The Associated Press


We can't really know how difficult it will be for you and your family not to have him here as you celebrate this special day - not the way most parents plan.
Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts. I can only imagine how very difficult tomorrow is going to be for you.
They are locked in my heart in letters of gold.
Each day of my life, you'll walk by my side"
Tiff, you and your family are in my thoughts.
Happy birthday precious little William.
Tiff am sending loads of hugs & warm wishes your way on your precious William's birthday.
Never forgotten he will always be in your hearts.
And Tiff big I can only imagine how hard today is for you. You and your family are in my thoughts.
I have been thinking of you today on William's birthday and will be thinking of you and your family over the next few days leading up to his angel day also. I hope this time brings you some sweet memories of your precious little boy as well as the sad memories it is bound to bring.
And a big fat for you Tiff.
I really don't think that I can say anything more than the others have already said. I am thinking of you and your family on this day.
I am thinking of you & your family over the next few days.
I am sitting here and I don't know what to say. I feel so sad and so lost that my little boy isn't here. I wish more than anything that he was here today and that we had spent the day together, instead of so far apart. The tears won't come, even though they need to, my head and heart hurt.
The balloon release went well, although, just as we let them go it started to rain. Tears straight from heaven.
A year ago I said goodbye to William, held in my arms, thanked him for being so strong and holding on for as long as he did. I did not hold him as he took his last breath, I gave that to David, his one and only son, never to grow up, never to see what a wonderful Dad he has.
I will never understand why, I will always wonder if I could have done something differently. Why was he taken away from me, why after it took so long to conceive him, let him grow inside me for 40 weeks, be given that hope that everything would be okay, why did he have to go?
I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the kind thoughts anfd wishes. I want you to know that I let a balloon go for all of you who have lost your precious babies and know the pain that I am experiencing.
Oh Tiff, huge Am thinking of you sweetie. Thank you for sharing that beautiful poem with us.
Thank you for sharing that lovely poem.
with tears I read your beautiful poem for William - big hugs to you I wish I could say something to make you feel better but as we all know deep in our heart the pain lives along side the love.
Glad your balloon release went off as you planned - yes there are many tears in heaven and on earth today for your beautiful boy.
That is a beautiful poem that you wrote for William. I wish I had such a way with words.
Your last post really touched me. Some of your words truly echoed the same feelings that I had over losing Georgia. I know those feelings of wishing that our children were here so well.
I hope that you are holding up ok and that with each day you feel a little stronger and your heart a little lighter.
Nice to see you around. Thank you so much for the PM you sent.
I feel alot better today, made some big decisions about work and TTC and feel more settled.
You know, when I first joined BB I felt so alone but I have gained strength and peace in knowing you and all the other girls. How is everything with you? Sometimes I sneak onto the PAMAL group just to see how things are going but haven't for a while.


It's almost time for the holidays, which means show specials are in full swing. This year, take a walk down memory lane and gather everyone round the TV for these top holiday episodes of seasons past.
It's been 10 years since The O.C. premiered in 2003. That means it's been 10 years since the world learned of Seth Cohen's Chrismukkah, which was introduced to us (and Ryan) during the show's first season. Seth, the son of a Catholic mother and Jewish father, decided instead of choosing between a candy cane or a menorah, he would combined them both for, in his words, "the greatest super-holiday known to mankind." And if the episode isn't enough to get you in a festive spirit, the show also spawned a Chrismukkah CD. It's $5 on Amazon complete with Jimmy Eat World, Ben Kweller and Rooney.
Christmas is a big deal for Whovians. The British Sci-Fi show runs a special episode each year for the holiday and with Cybermen and Sycorax, it seems London is not the place to be on Christmas Day. Until, of course, the Doctor comes in and saves the day. Season five's, "A Christmas Carol," is one of the series' best episodes. This twist on the classic story of Christmas past, present, and future has no ghost, but there is a time traveler, a crashing spaceship and flying fish.
This episode finds the family stuck in an airport on Christmas Eve and Stephanie is worried Santa won't be able to find them there. Snow, delayed flights, and lost baggage turn the whole thing into a traveler's nightmare. But, being "Full House" the episode has to give off some warm and holiday fuzzies and ends with Uncle Jesse giving a heartfelt speech about the true meaning of Christmas. Awww.
Before The O.C. had Chrismukkah, Seinfeld had Festivus (for the rest of us). But instead of trying to jam as much holiday in as possible, Festivus is the exact opposite. In order to avoid all the commercial and religious aspects of the holidays the Costanza family developed and adopted a different wintertime ritual that is introduced to us in the episode, "The Strike." It's a truly hilarious episode and parody of the holiday season. So when the stress of the holiday's starts to feel like too much, don't freak out. It doesn't have to be like this! Just grab your unadorned, aluminum Festivus pole and start airing your grievances.
It's not The Office if there isn't an offensive office party. What starts out as a secret santa turns into a yankee swap when Michael doesn't get a gift he deems as good as the one he's given. Everyone throws "it's the thought that counts" out the window and vies for an expensive iPod. Maybe a little more representative of the holidays than Full House? But there is still a little holiday cheer when Pam chooses a thoughtful gift over a costly one.


One quarter of the year is over! I got a lot accomplished in the last three months, and I'm hoping to get more done this quarter.

So again this week there's another spontaneous sort-of-late-night post!
Once again, I didn't know until yesterday that a cover reveal for ONE OF MY MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF THE YEAR was being released today, so now that it has, I'm here to share the cover and hear your opinions!
It matches the first book so well – and any bookworm can relate to the relief in knowing the covers of a series will match!
I love how there's a new colour scheme but still manages to maintain the design. And I like how Feyre (I assume) is drawn on the cover. Normally I don't like people on the cover, but somehow ALL of Sarah J Maas' book covers manage to pull it off so well. Probably because they're really stunning drawings. Plus I have a thing for small details. And if you look at the clothes on the cover, THAT is some intricate detail right there.
I do have to say that I've never understood the point in having different book covers though when the difference are as small as this. Sure, I like the USA one more because there's more background to it, but I still love the UK one just as much (which is good, since I live in the UK). I just don't think it really necessary to have varying covers.
I do appreciate how Bloomsbury released both cover designs at the same time though. There have been times where a publisher will show the US cover but then wait a while longer to show the UK version. So I'm glad I finally have this in my life!
Let me know YOUR opinion down in the comments!
Do you love it, hate it, or just think it's alright – nothing too special?
Have you read the 1st book in this series, A Court of Thorns and Roses? If not, click here to read my short spoiler free review, then go and buy the book immediately if you're even remotely interested!
Hello, lovely! I've nominated you for the Liebster Award!

Full statehood for Delhi
Statehood would allow the Delhi government to borrow freely from the Centre to build a world class city
Vijay Soni | 12 Feb, 2015
When Arvind Kejriwal released the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) manifesto before Delhi's election, he said that one of its key goals would be to attain full statehood for Delhi. To understand why statehood is important, one should recall the Khirki Extension episode in New Delhi under the first AAP government. Then law minister Somnath Bharti had accused Africans in the area of selling narcotics. Later, Arvind Kejriwal, too, led a protest against the Delhi Police as they had refused to take action. Usually, elected ministers just have to order the police to move on such an issue. But in Delhi, the police are not under them.
The Delhi government currently has the power to govern and make laws on all subjects except three: police, land and public order. Statehood would allow the Delhi government to borrow freely from the Centre to build a world class city. The government would also control all Delhi Development Authority land and housing policies. It would fix police accountability and synchronise the utilisation of resources for health and education.
With statehood, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi would also be accountable to the state government. Currently there are some 60 matters relating to municipal governance that cannot be addressed without the approval of the Union Government. The Delhi government may pass an amendment, but for it to become law it would have to get the approval of not only the Lieutenant Governor and President but also union ministries of Urban Development and Home Affairs.
Ironically, in 2003, the NDA Government had tabled Delhi's Statehood Bill in Parliament, but the Government fell and the bill was never passed. The AAP government will keep raising the pitch on statehood. Whether the Centre will relent, though, is anybody's guess.

OptiBiotix Health plc (AIM: OPTI), a life sciences business developing compounds to tackle obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes and skin care, announces that it has entered into a three year non-exclusive licence agreement with Bened Biomedical Ltd., Taiwan ("Bened"). The agreement grants Bened a non-exclusive license to produce, package, promote, market, and commercialise products containing OptiBiotix's cholesterol and blood pressure reducing strain, LPLDL®, in Taiwan, with the aim of maximising the financial return for both parties.
OptiBiotix previously announced (RNS: 13 September 2017) the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Bened to explore licensing and sales opportunities. This announcement confirms the successful conclusion of those discussions. Bened Biomedical Co., Ltd., was founded in 2015 as a spin off from National Yang-Ming University ("NYMU") by Professor Tsai, Ying-Chieh. Bened is a leading probiotic research and marketing companies in Asia developing microbiome based products for neuropsychological, allergic, immunological, metabolic and aging-related disorders.
This agreement expands OptiBiotix's sale into Taiwan with the potential to broaden the opportunity within the Asia Pacific region. Cardiovascular disease is the second leading cause of death in Taiwan, behind Cancer, and is seen as a major public health issue. The Taiwanese supplements market is predicted to grow by a 27% growth by 2021. The agreement creates a pathway to access territories in the Asia Pacific region with a total probiotic retail value of $16.1 billion, of which supplements are $700 million.
Market data from 'TRENDS, INNOVATIONS AND OPPORTUNITIES DRIVING THE GLOBAL PROBIOTICS MARKET' (Euromonitor International June 2017).
Per Rehne, Commercial Director of OptiBiotix, said: "We are pleased to announce this licence agreement with Bened Biomedical which opens up the commercial opportunity for LPLDL® in Taiwan and the wider Asia Pacific Region. Bened have expressed confidence in developing and commercialising food supplement containing LPLDL® and we see it as an important step to extend global reach of LPLDL®. This is the 13th agreement for LPLDL® over the last 18 months.
"This is a strategic step in developing the sales channels into the Asian probiotic markets and the commercial reach of OptiBiotix's LPLDL® strain. Enhancing our presence in Asia allows OptiBiotix to offer multiple product solutions through partnerships with consumer health and pharmaceutical companies, which has the potential to create multiple revenue streams, including those coming from the newly launched CholBiome products containing LPLDL®."
OptiBiotix Health plc (AIM: OPTI), which was formed in March 2012, brings science to the development of compounds which modify the human microbiome - the collective genome of the microbes in the body - in order to prevent and manage human disease and promote wellness.
OptiBiotix has an extensive R&D program working with leading academics in the development of microbial strains, compounds, and formulations which are used as active ingredients and supplements. More than twenty international food and healthcare supplement companies have signed agreements with OptiBiotix to incorporate their human microbiome modulators into a wide range of food products and drinks.
OptiBiotix is also developing its own range of consumer supplements and health products. The Company's current areas of focus include obesity, cardiovascular health, and diabetes.
