The Bontrager Circuit Men's Cycling Waist Shorts are a performance cycling short with a built in BioDynamic Chamois pad and compression technology to fight muscle fatigue. If you don't get on with bib shorts then the Bontrager Circuit short is one of the best waist shorts you can get. Although made for road cycling the Circuit short is also great for commuting or touring.
With sensible features, top-level comfort and bold style, the Circuit Shorts offer practical performance for every type of ride. Multi-material construction and a moulded dual-density chamois make the perfect pair for stylish all-purpose performance.
Bontrager make a huge range of clothing for road cyclists, mountain bikers and people who just like riding bikes. We like their range for a couple of reasons. First and foremost the Bontrager clothing is well made and sensibly prices. Bontrager have also integrated their clothing with the rest of their kit. So you can buy Bontrager Circuit shorts, gloves, jersey, jacket, helmets and shoes all in matching or complimentary colours. The same goes for their Rhythm, Velocis and Solstice ranges so you can mix and match between them as well.
Another big plus point with the Bontrager clothing range is the sizing. A lot of cycle clothing comes up very small. Italian clothing brands are notorious for this with riders who would normally be a size large when buying a t-shirt having to buy an XXL size jersey. Bontrager's clothing fits much more like standard high street clothing. So if you are normally a medium when you buy t-shirts a medium Bontrager jersey will fit you.
Have you found the Bontrager Circuit Mens Cycling Shorts Cheaper?

Мо́крый Индо́л (Индо́л; , ) — река в восточном Крыму, правый приток Восточного Булганака. Длина реки — 49 км, площадь водосборного бассейна — 324 км². Река в целом маловодна, так как в её верховьях практически отсутствуют крупные карстовые источники ввиду сильной дробности рельефа. Среднемноголетний сток, измеренный на гидропосте Тополевка — 0,224 м³/с, в устье — 0,26 м³/с. Однако она многоводнее большинства окружающих рек и имеет постоянный сток.

Мокрый Индол и Восточный Булганак практически не зарегулированы.

Гидрография
Берёт начало при слиянии рек Су-Индол и Салы. Русло реки в среднем течении узко и довольно извилистое, здесь отмечается множество каменистых порогов. В районе сёл Тополевка и Курское русло Мокрого Индола входит в понижение (10×5 км) между Внешней и Внутренней грядами, получившее название Кишлавская котловина (она же Индоло-Сальская). Кишлавская котловина издавна известна своим плодородием. Пересекает Внутреннюю гряду у села Тополевка (Топлу) Белогорского района. Далее у с. Золотое Поле (бывш. Цюрихталь) русло выходит на Присивашскую низменную равнину. Здесь можно отметить лишь несколько мелких ложбин.
Пересекает Северо-Крымский канал возле села Шахтино.

Существуют версии, что Мокрый Индол соединён с Восточным Булганаком искусственно: Николай Рухлов в работе «Обзор речных долин горной части Крыма» 1915 года писал:

В книге «Устойчивый Крым. Водные ресурсы» утверждается, что русло Мокрого Индола было перенаправлено и река впадает в Восточный Булганак в 2 км от залива Сиваш после строительства в 60-е годы XX века Северо-Крымского канала, а ранее река впадала в Сиваш самостоятельно. При этом ещё на карте генерал-майора Мухина 1817 года Индол сливается с Булганаком, как и на карте 1842 года.

Как и у большинства рек Крыма гидрологический режим Мокрого Индола характеризуется двумя периодами: паводочным зимне-весенним и меженным летне-осенним, на протяжении которых в среднем проходит соответственно 80—95 % и 5—20 % стока.

Притоки
Имеет 2 значимых притока превышающих в длину 10 км, общая длина которых составляет 26 км.

Хозяйственное значение
В средние века на реке появились первые оросительные системы. Природная растительность по берегам реки представлена в основном различными кустарниками, много садов, вдоль русла высажены тополя. В 1977 году у села Льговское, в балке Змеиная (приток Мокрого Индола), построено Льговское водохранилище объёмом 2,2 млн м³ для орошения. На правом берегу Мокрого Индола у села Учебное (Верхний Топлу) Белогорского района находится Топловский Свято-Троице Параскевиевский женский монастырь.

Исследования
Русло реки и её долина начали активно изучаться российскими военными и учёными с середины XIX века.

Первую детальную топографическую карту притоков Индола в составили российские военные полковник Бетев и подполковник Оберг. Российский писатель-краевед Е. Марков описывал долину Индола следующим образом:.

The Tahoe Water Suppliers Association (TWSA) membership is composed of the 11 principal Tahoe Basin municipal drinking water providers with lake intakes, representing a majority of the water consumers in the region. Source water protection is a large part of our mission of providing superior quality drinking water to our customers.
Why are invasive aquatic weeds and proposed weed management options a concern for the TWSA water providers?
In the past 8 years, the TWSA has established a source water protection education program which includes the popular "Drink Tahoe Tap" campaign. The outreach program focuses on educating the public about source water protection and promoting consumer appreciation of the excellent tap water provided to our communities.
TWSA members are concerned about the potential decline of consumer confidence in Tahoe's outstanding tap water if a maintenance program is initiated using herbicides in the Tahoe Keys waters, which link to Lake Tahoe through two access channels.
In addition, Tahoe's municipal water treatment systems are not specifically designed to remove chemical contaminants. Six TWSA members hold filtration exemption status from the USEPA, which is a rare status, usually granted only to a non-contact watershed. The treatment processes of ultra-violet and ozone disinfection used by the filtration exempt members are designed for deactivation of potential biological contaminants, not chemicals specifically. Other TWSA members utilize filtration, with treatment methods once again designed for deactivation of potential biological contaminants, not chemicals.
TWSA first became involved in Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) issues in 2007 as the Lake Tahoe Watercraft Inspection Program was first being established. Our work focused then, and continues to date, on public education of the threat posed to water quality and water supply by the potential introduction of zebra or quagga mussels into Lake Tahoe by watercraft transport form an infected waterbody.
From 2009 to date, TWSA has maintained a presence in the working groups testing non-chemical methods such as rubber bottom barriers and diver assisted suction on the lake bed, to kill off the invasive Asian Clam. TWSA has provided staff support, water quality testing and financial support for the purchase of bottom barriers to the working group.
TWSA had been involved in the dialogue, and served as a working group partner with the Nearshore Aquatic Invasive Weeds Working Group (NAIIWG) since 2011, and most recently, the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association Integrated Weeds Management Plan (TKPOA IWMP) technical advisory group.

Khulna Shipyard lays keel for five more Padma-class patrol vessels for Bangladeshi Navy
Gabriel Dominguez, London - Jane's Defence Weekly

Bangladesh's Khulna Shipyard Ltd has begun construction of a second batch of five Padma-class patrol vessels on order for the Bangladeshi Navy (BN).
The navy said in a 3 December statement that a keel-laying ceremony for the 50.4 m-long vessels, which can reach a top speed of 23 kt, had been held the previous day at the company's facilities in Khulna. The ceremony was attended by Admiral Aurangzeb Chowdhury, the BN's chief of naval staff, among others.
The service already operates five vessels of the class, all of which entered service in 2013. This first batch was built in Bangladesh by BN-owned Khulna Shipyard in collaboration with mainland China's Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding through the China Shipbuilding & Offshore International Corporation (CSOC).
The contract for the second batch was signed with Khulna Shipyard on 20 May 2019, with the shipyard signing a new collaboration agreement with CSOC nine days later.
The Padma class, which as a crew complement of 31, including 5 officers, has a full-load displacement of 270 tonnes, an overall beam of 7.5 m, and a hull draught of 1.9 m. Each of the ships is armed with Norinco twin 37 mm naval guns and two 20 mm guns.
Separately, the BN announced on 22 December that it had decommissioned three days earlier its Chinese-made Yuch'in-class (Type 068/069) coastal survey ship BNS Tallashi, which entered service in 1983.

Social Media Beta Test FAQs - There's Still Time to Sign Up!
This week, during our regular monthly PFI standards committee conference call we learned that a revised New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) had been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for review. This step suggests that the publication of the new rule is imminent and I'm happy to report that our standards committee and board are already at work anticipating how the new rule will treat pellet fuels and the certification programs available to wood pellet producers, including the PFI Standards Program. While the details of the program are not known, industry observers and those familiar with the EPA under the Trump administration anticipate that the new rule will have a lighter regulatory touch.
One thing I have learned in my tenure as the Executive Director of the PFI is that air quality and the protection of air quality is not simply the jurisdiction of the EPA. This is particularly important with regard to the new NSPS rule currently under review at the OMB as our contacts at state level air regulatory agencies have made it clear that if the new NSPS rule does not guarantee that they will be able to meet their air quality targets, individual states will have to pursue state-specific regulations which may include rules and regulations regarding the fuel you all produce. Clearly, navigating a patchwork of varied state-level fuel requirements is not optimal for producers producing for and selling into multi-state regions.
During our call this week our committee decided that as we move through this new rule publication and comment period our internal discussions as a board and a standards committee need to occur with greater frequency than simply our standard monthly call. Our team and committee will continue to monitor this important piece of federal regulation and share important information regarding the new rule as it becomes available.
3. Will my brand has a presence on any of the sponsored ads?
Our ultimate goal is to promote the sales of pellet appliances, making progress toward Operation 100K. We'll measure success in several ways - a number of people reached, engagement with our ads, and retailer leads. If we are able to replicate our initial test from this summer in each of the selected markets, we will reach 250,000 or more social media users. We will also ask our retailers to keep track of how many leads they get from Facebook or Instagram and to report these numbers.
We're building a collection of photos of our members, their pellets mills, and product. Send them to Carrie Annand at [email protected]. As we're gearing up for pellet season, this week's featured photo shows fresh bags off coming off the Indeck production line in Ladysmith, Wisconsin.
Don't miss the opportunity to sponsor PFI to reap the benefits for the rest of the year! Sponsorship at all levels brings many perks, along with exposure for your company to the pellet fuels industry. By signing up to sponsor the association in 2018, you will reap the benefits throughout the coming year.
For people who love outdoor cooking, the variety of gas and charcoal grills has never been better.
Mike Zamora, store director at Barbeques Galore in Henderson, said what it basically comes down to is what type of cooking a person wants to do and how much time he or she plans to spend preparing a meal.
A single guy would probably be happy with a traditional propane gas grill on a cart to flip his burgers, hot dogs and the occasional steak. But with the growing popularity of cooking shows dominating the airwaves and celebrity chefs opening their own restaurants, more and more people are becoming foodies. They want to emulate what they see on cooking networks and are demanding the professional tools to achieve what their taste buds are craving.
More than 30 organizations, including the Biomass Thermal Energy Council, Alliance for Green Heat and Pellet Fuels Institute, sent a letter to leaders of the Senate Agriculture Committee on Aug. 17 urging the Senate to expand the Community Wood Energy and Innovations Program in the final version of the Farm Bill.
The U.S. House passed its version of the 2018 Farm Bill on June 21. That legislation included an expansion of the CWEIP. One week later, on June 28, the U.S. Senate passed its version of the 2018 Farm Bill. The Senate version, however, did not include an expansion of the CWEIP. The legislation will soon head to conference committee where members of the House and Senate will resolve differences between the two versions of the bill.
Within the letter, the BTEC and other groups noted that language in the House version of the Farm Bill would expand the CWEIP into a "more robust competitive nationwide grant program administered by the USDA Forest Service, with a $25 million annual authorization, for community-scale wood energy and value-added forest products projects."
The USDA's Rural Business-Cooperative Service is soliciting fiscal year 2019 applications for the Rural Energy for America Program, which helps agricultural producers and rural small businesses install renewable energy systems and make energy efficiency improvements.
REAP offers two types of funding assistance. Under the first, Renewable Energy Systems and Energy Efficiency Improvement Assistance, the USDA provides grants and guaranteed loans to agricultural producers and rural small businesses to purchase and install renewable energy systems and make energy efficiency improvements. Eligible renewable energy systems are biomass, including anaerobic digesters, wind, solar, small-hydo-electric, ocean, geothermal or hydrogen derived from renewable resources.
The second is the Energy Audit and Renewable Energy Development Assistance Grant, which is available to state, Tribal or local governments; institutions of higher education; rural electric cooperatives; public power entities; and councils. Recipients of the grants establish programs to assist agricultural producers and rural small businesses with evaluating the energy efficiency and the potential to incorporate renewable energy technologies into their operations.

How to Start a Second Cuban Missile Crisis (In Asia): America Puts Cruise Missiles in Taiwan
January 12, 2019 Topic: Security Region: Asia Blog Brand: The Buzz Tags: MilitaryTechnologyWeaponsWarMissilesTaiwanChina
In a few years, the U.S. may have new ground-launched cruise missiles (GLCMs) with the capacity to strike at intermediate ranges. And if relations between China and the United States continue to deteriorate, Washington may go looking for places to station those missiles. GLCMs in Taiwan are simultaneously China's greatest fear, and the last card that the United States can play before war begins. They would also spark the most dangerous nuclear standoff since 1962.
by Robert Farley Follow drfarls on Twitter L
In 1962, the United States and the Soviet Union nearly turned the Cold War hot because of the Soviet decision to deploy nuclear-armed ballistic missiles to Cuba. A few years before that, China and the United States came perilously close to war over a few Taiwanese-controlled islands off the coast of the mainland.
In the next decade, as tensions grow between Beijing and Washington, and as the United States sloughs off the restrictions of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, we could see a replay of both crises. In a few years, the United States may have new ground-launched cruise missiles (GLCMs) with the capacity to strike at intermediate ranges. And if relations between China and the United States continue to deteriorate, Washington may go looking for places to station those missiles. GLCMs in Taiwan are simultaneously China's greatest fear, and the last card that the United States can play before war begins. They would also spark the most dangerous nuclear standoff since 1962.
What Has Gone Before:
The United States has threatened China with cruise missiles before. In 1958, the United States sent several batteries of MGM-1 "Matador" cruise missiles to Taiwan. The missiles, equipped with a 40 kt nuclear weapon, could hit targets at a range of up to 1000 km, putting a significant portion of the mainland at risk. The United States withdrew these missiles because of obsolescence in 1962, and withdrew its entire military presence in 1979 upon the normalization of diplomatic relations with the PRC.
These missiles posed a clear threat to the survival of the PRC, as they could strike crucial regime military and urban targets with minimal warning, and with no meaningful possibility of defense. The missiles also represented a clear commitment on the part of the United States to the survival of the Republic of China (ROC) on Taiwan, and potentially to its re-establishment on the mainland. The withdrawal, first of the missiles and then of the rest of the U.S. military presence, reflected the acquiescence of the United States in the existence of the PRC, and just as importantly in the strategic role the PRC could play in the Cold War.
Operational Logic:
The biggest objection that defenders of the INF have made with respect to deployments of GLCMs in the Pacific involves basing. The United States has very limited territory upon which it can station cruise missiles; indeed, only on Guam can the United States deploy missiles without host nation permission. While the merits of a deployment on Guam have probably been understated, distance and size limit its strategic relevance.
Formosa is altogether different. Missiles based in Taiwan can strike over a wide range of the PRC, the South China Sea and the East China Sea. Even unmodified TLAMs could put a substantial portion of China at risk. Moreover, while Formosa is small compared to the mainland, it is not "small" in any kind of conventional sense. Road-mobile GLCMs with pre-prepared bunkers and resupply depots could easily evade most Chinese air and missile strikes. Several batteries of such missiles could multiply the ability of the United States to hit targets deep in China, as well as Chinese naval vessels operating in the ESCS. If the United States decided to equip the missiles with nuclear warheads (as it did in the 1950s) it could put China's nuclear deterrent and command-and-control system at risk.
Of course, Taiwan already operates GLCMs and short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs) that threaten the mainland, and is developing more. At the moment, the United States does not have intermediate and short-range cruise missiles to deploy, although this could change in the next few years. When the United States does develop GLCMs, they are likely to be more numerous and more sophisticated than what Taiwan can build on its own, and thus of significantly greater concern to Beijing.
Diplomatic and Strategic Fallout:
Putting GLCMs in Taiwan would have obvious tactical and operational benefits. However, the strategic implications would be stark. The United States today enjoys a troubled, but still mutually profitable, relationship with the People's Republic of China. Since 1979, that relationship has been premised upon a narrow degree of engagement with Taiwan. The United States formally recognizes the PRC and has adopted a policy of ambiguity regarding Taiwan's legal status while still retaining the right to transfer military equipment to the RoC. The deployment of U.S. GLCMs to Formosa would upend this entire strategic situation.
Consequently, in almost any scenario, the deployment of GLCMs to Taiwan would be diplomatically disastrous. The United States has not stationed active military units in Taiwan since the formal breaking of military ties in 1979. Even a symbolic deployment of forces would enrage Beijing and very possibly precipitate war. Deploying GLCMs with the capability of degrading China's A2/AD system, and indeed of threatening China's nuclear deterrent, would be a provocation of the highest order.
Thus, the United States would either have to be mad to engage in such behavior, or it would have to have concluded that military confrontation with China was inevitable to the point where only the pursuit of operational advantage mattered. And indeed, at this juncture there is no indication that Taiwan would have an appetite for hosting GLCMs. But the RoC's judgment on this matter depends on its assessment of the balance of capabilities with the PRC, as well as Beijing's intentions.
Parting Shots:
Under almost any conceivable scenario, deploying U.S. GLCMs to Taiwan would be a terrible idea. In the very few scenarios where such a deployment would make sense, the diplomatic relationship between Washington and Beijing will already have decayed to such an extent that war would be virtually inevitable.
But just because missiles in Taiwan would mean something awfully bad is about to happen doesn't mean that it won't happen. In 1962 the Soviet Union saw fit to deploy nuclear tipped ballistic missiles to Cuba, in the hope that it could escape US scrutiny and re-establish the strategic balance. That effort very nearly led to war, but it is hardly impossible that U.S. and Taiwanese policymakers might think, at some point, along similar lines. It simply depends upon their desperation regarding the balance of military power, and their beliefs in the inevitability of conflict.

At least four dead in second mass shooting in Chicago in four days
Tue, June 15, 2021 by ABC News

(CHICAGO) — At least four people were killed and four others were injured Tuesday morning in the second mass shooting in Chicago in four days, police said.
A barrage of gunfire erupted just before 6 a.m. in the city's Englewood neighborhood, police said. The shooting followed a disturbance at a home, police said.
Several people were gathering inside the home when the shooting started, police said.
ABC station WLS-TV in Chicago confirmed through police sources that four people were pronounced dead at the scene. The names and ages of those killed were not immediately released.
Four people suffered critical injuries in the shooting, including a 25-year-old man and another male who were both shot in the back of the head, police told WLS.
A woman and a 23-year-old man, who was shot in the back, were also in critical condition at University of Chicago Hospital, police said.
Some of those hurt were taken to hospitals in private cars. A child was rushed to St. Bernard Hospital for observation, authorities said.
The motive and details of what prompted the shooting are under investigation.
The incident follows a mass shooting on Saturday in Chicago that left a woman dead and nine adults injured.
Chicago police officials said investigators are searching for two suspects who walked up to a crowd gathered on the sidewalk in a business district in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood and opened fire just after 2 a.m. on Saturday. The nine adults who suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the shooting ranged in age from 23 to 46, according to police.
The Cook County Medical Examiner identified Kimfier Miles, 29, as the woman killed in Saturday's mass shooting.

What is it? A Playstation 4 exclusive semi-arcade-style racing game developed by the people who brought you Motorstorm that focuses on career and multiplayer racing and events, leaderboard/ghost challenges, joining clubs, challenging other clubs and levelling up as you unlock more races and cars.
Driveclub revolves around race, time trial and drift events, includes 50 cars ranging from hot hatches to supercars (no customisation or tuning options) and 55 circuit or point-to-point tracks that span 5 major locations. You go from event to event beating objectives to progress, but thanks to little mini-challenges that dynamically pit you against friends mid-race, as well as leaderboards and friends' ghosts taunting you, you may often find yourself revisiting events to best your buddies.
Driveclub is a visual treat at times though, and thanks to day/night in the game, can look unbelievable when the light is right. The cars handle really well and still maintain the attributes of their real life counterparts, albeit way more forgiving and easy to drive. The A.I is a low point though as you will often get frustrated with being blocked or bashed off over and over again and be warned because if you aren't connected to PSN the game is heavily stripped of some of its best features.
Driveclub servers have been down and so we have not been able to give an opinion on the multiplayer component. Please check back for updates to the review soon.

League of Humane Voters of New York City (LOHV-NYC)
The League of Humane Voters of New York City (LOHV-NYC) seeks to mobilize public concern for animals through the democratic political process. We campaign for the election of candidates for public office who will work to enact animal rights legislation. Recognizing that animal exploitation is a political issue and not just a moral one, we intend to make animal rights a mainstream political issue by building support among citizens, activists, political parties, candidates and elected representatives.
LOHV-NYC is the first and only political action committee committee focused on animal rights issues in New York City. Founded in 2000 as "Political Action for Animals," we were incorporated as the League of Humane Voters of New York City in November of 2001. Since then, we have grown enormously -- as of January 2005, we had recruited more than six thousand members around the city and had reached tens of thousands with our humane message.
Since our founding, we have been instrumental in helping to elect more than two dozen humane candidates to office! These candidates have gone on to introduce or co-sponsor life-affirming humane legislation in the City Council, State Senate and State Assembly. Ratings/Review of this resource:

Vintage evinrude outboards boat dealer sign. vintage outboard engine sign. 37 it has rusting in places but not that heavy rust, maybe someone removed or treated the rust at some time because it's not too eroded. This is a nice looking sign but it is faded and scratched and chipped but still looks ok to me.


St. John the Baptist Catholic School has a legacy of academic tradition. Located in the beautiful Napa Valley about 50 miles north of San Francisco and 60 miles east of Sacramento, Napa is the county seat and home to premier wine producers, restaurants, resorts, spas, beautiful scenery and approximately 68,000 people. Napa has thriving tourism, retail, trade services, agriculture, government and manufacturing industries that provide abundant employment opportunities.
Invited by Fr. Joseph Byrne, the pastor of St. John the Baptist Church, the Dominican Sisters opened the doors to St. John the Baptist Catholic School in 1912, and it became the first Catholic school in Napa Valley. Those 120 students in grades 1 -6 began our commitment to academic excellence and the continued pursuit of the Catholic faith, teachings and values. Since its founding, St. John's has been blessed with generations of alumni, many of whom remain in the area and recall their roots in our corridors.
Our school building is located in downtown Napa and houses the school office, classrooms, a science lab, computer lab, library, extended care room and art room. The St. John's Hall is located onsite and includes meeting rooms, a multi-purpose room and a kitchen. St. John The Baptist Catholic Church is located next to the school and serves approximately 3,500 families and has over 35 ministries.
Today, St. John's is a thriving learning community thanks to the investment from hundreds of mission-dedicated stakeholders. We educate about 160 students each year in grades from Transitional Kindergarten through 8th grade. Within a safe and secure learning environment, we encourage and value a child's individual character and their contributions as a vital part of our Catholic faith community.
St. John's is dually accredited by both the Western Catholic Education Association (WCEA) and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Our core curriculum is based on California State Standards and Common Core State Standards. St. John's rigorous academic programs, extra-curricular opportunities and dedication to the whole child results in graduates who are well-rounded and well-prepared for high school, solid in their academic education.


My girlfriend's father, Ray, was in town last week for a concert, and he stayed in the city an extra night to see me and our friends for a dinner. As usual, I offered up my cooking services for the evening. Ray doesn't eat any meat or shellfish, so I wanted to make an interesting and delicious fish dish that was outside of the usual types of seafood dishes I put together. I'm a huge fan of Asian food. I love the mix of salty, spicy, and sweet flavors that are often featured in Asian dishes and create that great sense of umami (or savoriness). I decided to do a play on miso soup. I made a dashi broth (fish stock) and marinated cod in a miso glaze along with sauteed bok choi greens and shitake mushrooms. When all three components were eaten in one bite, you got the sensation of eating miso soup with the strong saltiness of the dashi mixing with the sweetness of the miso glaze on the fish (which took the place of the tofu) and the warmth of the greens and mushrooms. I also made some vegetable fried rice on the side to add some heartiness of the meal. The rice actually worked well with the dashi and fish, so a few people at the table actually mixed the rice in with everything else. Everyone was so excited to eat that I forgot to take a picture of the complete dish, but fortunately I had one extra portion (which I ate once I got my pic…) The meal ended up being a great setting for Ray's endlessly entertaining stories, and we all had a great time.
Bring water to a boil and add kelp. Reduce to a simmer and add bonito flakes, let simmer for 20-30 minuted until broth is very fragrant, taste to make sure it is strong enough for your liking. Strain the broth over cheesecloth or paper towel, add the soy sauce and stir. Add more soy if the broth isn't salty enough.
Slice the mushrooms and the greens of the bok choi into very thin strips (reserve the bok choi stalks for another use, perhaps a stir fry or fried rice). Heat oil in a wok or frying pan on medium high and add the mushrooms when hot. When the mushrooms start to brown, add the greens and sautee until wilted. Add the sesame seeds, a little of the extra miso glaze and toss until coated. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Bring sake and mirin to a boil and boil for 1 minute to burn off alcohol. Reduce to a simmer and add miso and stir until fully incorporated and smooth. Add sugar and stir until fully dissolved, set aside and let cool. Once cooled, pour the glaze over the fish and marinate overnight in a plastic bag. When ready to cook, remove the fish and wipe away the glaze with a paper towel (don't wash off). Broil the fish until golden on top and finish in the oven until flaky.
To serve use wide bowls, place the fish in the bowl, pour enough dashi to cover the bottom of the bowl over the fish and place the mushrooms and greens on top. Serve with fried rice or udon noodles to add heartiness.

The 2014 Zio Tony Ranch Chardonnay has a nose of honeycomb, grain, clean florals and lemon oil. The palate is bright, textured pineapple and grapefruit. Brilliant focus finishing with vanilla custard and pie crust.


Trust me, you won't be able to stop yourself waxing (or singing) lyrical about today's little beauties.
By Terry is one of my favourite French Fancies. The brand oozes opulence. Terry de Gunzburg launched By Terry in 1998 after 15 years as Yves St Laurent's makeup designer (it was she who designed the eponymous Touche Eclat). Oh la la.
Cream eye shadows in stick form that last all night. Seriously, they'll out last anyone one of you in the party stakes. The longest wearing cream shadow I have ever tried, you get the gist.
As easy as 1,2,3...twist up the bullet, swipe and blend and you're good to go. I do love me some effortless beauty.
Forget finding the man of your dreams, this is the shadow stick of your dreams. It glides on the lids, not pulling or tugging. It can be used all over either as an intense colour or soft sheen and can also be worn as a liner.
I have blue/green eyes and all three of these colours make my pupils pop. But Terry's treasure trove of shadows will have your back whatever your eye colour.
These sticks are definately worth the splurge, I for one can't stop serenading these babies, so why not treat your lids to a bit of luxury.
At £27.50 a pop let your eyes flash the cash.

Q: C# - In a method, how can I have 2 parameters that are one? In my project I have forms and user controls. I have this important method for changing the mouse cursor.
public static void Cursor_Hand(Form frm)
{
      foreach (Control control in frm.Controls)
      {
            if (control.Cursor == Cursors.Hand)
            {
                 control.Cursor = Program.SystemHandCursor;
            }
      }
 }

However, it only works if I submit a Form as an argument, I need it to accept Form and Usercontrol.
If possible, I also need both to have the same name, so I don't have to check with IF which argument was sent.
Ignore the wrong syntax, but I wanted something like:
public static void Cursor_Hand(Form frm || UserControl frm)

A: Both of those types inherit from Control:
public static void Cursor_Hand(Control frm)

This may sound petty, but …
by Terri Lackey
I live in Chicago, but I hail from the South. That means I have a Southern drawl. I could get rid of it, I guess; I know a lot of Southerners who have muted their accents and now talk like bland Midwesterners. But I like my mine, and, in fact, it has gotten me out of a few traffic tickets.
"I'm sorry officer; we don't have that rule in Naaashviiille." And then I get a warning and am sent on my way. So I do take advantage of the accent. I do use the fact that people see those from the South as a little dumber than everyone else in the country. (However, I would like to point to Bill Clinton, Walker Percy, Martin Luther King, and an endless list of others to prove that false.)
What I dislike is when people mock my Southern–ness. And that can happen in several ways. For example, I have been at a restaurant with a group, and as we began to order, one would say, "Sorry Terri, there is no baked 'possum on the menu." And after looking at them stunned, I might reply, "Well, I like mine fried." That serves to soften the blow and to show others, No hard feelings. (But there are hard feelings.)
And on many occasions, to my incredulity, people mock my Southern accent. But not very well. When they attempt to speak Southern, they ramp it up and sound like someone from the South with an IQ of about 45. "Do they think I sound like that?" I wonder. "Are they saying I'm stupid?" Even good actors do bad Southern accents.
Now, this may sound petty. But even my friend from England feels the same way. When people mimic her British accent, it sets her blood a' boiling. And people love and admire British accents. So it's not about feeling stupid (people tend to take 10 IQ points away from a person with a Southern accent), it's about setting people apart.
What I find most fascinating is that it is primarily Caucasians who do the mocking, and it is people who would never, in a million years, attempt an African American accent or a Mexican accent around their black and Latino friends. Nor would they point out to their friends that there are no chit'lins or menudo (tripe) on the menu. Sorry.
I also find it interesting that some of these people work for non–profit organizations (like ours) who pride themselves on being "justice oriented." Now, I am far from a saint, and if anybody deserves a good makin' fun of, it is me. I dish it out pretty well, and I should be able to take it. But these experiences have taught me that it is not Christian to ridicule someone who is different from me because we never know when we'll be "the other."

Road tripping Quebec
Quebec is Canada's largest province and certainly one of its most rewarding, featuring everything from city thrills to jaw dropping landscapes, enthralling marine life to captivating history, culture and traditions. With so much to offer, Quebec is ideal for exploring at your own leisure, whether on a classic self-drive tour or on a motorhome holiday that makes the most of the province's splendid natural areas and countless campgrounds. For the truly ambitious, Quebec is also ideally positioned to combine with other equally enticing destinations, including the maritime province of Nova Scotia or even a hop across the border to explore the neighbouring states that make up America's region of New England.
Cites, old and new
Quebec's urban hub and Canada's second largest settlement, Montreal is a bustling city that seamlessly blends the old with the new. A contemporary metropolis boasting a hip youthful vibe, it's also a place that cherishes tradition, as reflected in its well-preserved architecture and strong French influence. Start your explorations with a stroll around the cobblestone streets of the Old town, home to impressive eighteenth-century buildings and the inspiring neo-Gothic Basilique Notre-Dame. You'll soon find that the city takes its culture seriously, whether it be on the stage, in concert halls, in its copious museums or simply reflected in the striking street art. And of course, the unique blend of European and North American influences makes it unlike any other place on Earth. Montrealers themselves are renowned for their joie de vivre, which comes out in full force during the cities countless parties, events and festivals.
Downton Montreal boasts all the attractions and diversions you'd expect from a major hub, with glitzy designer shops, big brand stores and restaurants sharing space with heritage churches and innumerable French-inspired terraced cafes. Take a breather by heading up to Mount Royal Park for sweeping views over the cityscape. Alternatively, head out onto the St. Lawrence River for a different perspective and pass notable sights like the Old Port with its landscaped parks and urban beaches and the nearby Boucherville Islands. Last but not least, Montreal is home to one of the most exciting and innovative culinary scenes on the continent. Whether you want tantalise your taste buds with innovative concoctions or indulge in comforting Canadian classics, you'll find the food here truly hard to resist.
Quebec City may not offer the sheer abundance and diversity of urban offerings of its larger cosmopolitan neighbour, but it more than makes up for this with its quaint character and undeniable European charm. Come for the magnificent history and architecture and to witness the distinctive French Canadian identity at its most proud. This is North America's only walled city, harbouring a UNESCO World Heritage listed Old Town steeped in fine 17th century buildings and countless landmarks, churches and squares. Spend the day touring the Citadel, the Notre Dame Basilica, the National Assembly and the must-visit Plains of Abraham, a sprawling public park offering endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. Admire stunning views of the splendid and much-photographed Chateau Frontenac towering over the St. Lawrence River. Stroll picturesque cobblestone streets, pop into a museum and clap along to street performances. To refuel, stop by a Parisian-style café for a croissant and a warming bowl of café au lait or enjoy a takeout poutine in a neatly manicured square. There's plenty more to explore beyond the walls of the Old town as well – the outer neighbourhoods such as St. Jean Baptiste and St.Roche boast excellent dining, shopping and nightlife catering to all tastes.
Less than a 2 hour drive from Montreal is the spectacular outdoor playground of Mont Tremblant. Situated in the Laurentians, it's home to one of the best renowned resorts in eastern North America, rivalling the likes of British Columbia's Whistler. It's the perfect choice for active family holidays with summer being an especially great time to take advantage of the long daylight hours and countless outdoor activities.
The expansive National Park features a dizzying mix of verdant forests, rolling mountains, pristine lakes and gushing rivers. The park is Quebec's largest and oldest and home to an astonishing diversity of flora and fauna including prolific birdlife and over 40 species of mammals including deer, moose, wolves. Base yourself at the Lac Monroe campground for easy access to hiking and canoe routes, along with opportunities for fishing, swimming, and the chance to traverse a dramatic via ferrata route across a sheer rock face. Lake Tremblant and River Rouge are popular destinations for water sport enthusiasts, whether you fancy wakeboarding, water skiing, tubing or any number of thrilling experiences.
The resort itself features still more activities, ranging from white water rafting, rock climbing and winter sports to more sedate pastimes like golfing, horse riding and sailing. The village harbours a pedestrianised shopping area filled with independent and designer stores, as well as spas, bars, trendy patios, cosy cafes and plenty of fantastic dining options.
The Gaspe Peninsula
The stunning Gapse Peninsula is one of the province's most popular vacation destinations with local Quebecois and international visitors alike flocking to the region to enjoy the diverse seascape, gorgeous mountain terrain, dense pine forests and endless potential for outdoor adventure. The deeper you venture into the peninsula, the wilder the landscapes become and the more atmospheric the fishing villages dotted along the way, to say nothing of the proud maritime heritage and legendary local hospitality! Making a loop around the peninsula has been rated as one of the best scenic drives in the country. Stick to stunning sea roads and embark on thrilling ocean excursions, or head inland to explore remote routes and wild backcountry.
It's here that you'll find one of Quebec's most prominent natural landmarks: the impressive Perce Rock that rises steeply from the lively ocean waters just off the tip of the peninsula. You can catch a cruise that will take you up close to the dramatic landform. Wildlife lovers will also want to extend their trip to Bonaventura island, with its 300,000 strong seabird sanctuary (especially notable for its thriving population of northern gannet) and abundant marine life (including the chance of spotting whales). The village itself, backed by the lovely Perce Bay, is also well worth exploring. Spend an afternoon strolling the boardwalk along the beach, browsing artful boutiques and tucking into some delicious fare, not least the mouth-wateringly fresh lobster. For a bird's eye perspective, head up to the glass viewing platform at the summit of Mont Saint-Anne, where you'll also find several rewarding hiking trails that offer a brilliant perspective over the expansive coastal scenery.
Active types can try their hand at everything from canyoning to negotiating a subterranean via ferrata, deep-sea diving to thrilling fishing expeditions in and around the gorgeous Baie de Chaleur, rated as one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Along the region's rivers there's also salmon fishing, white water paddling and kayaking on offer. The peninsula also boasts a rich history, subject to centuries of diverse cultural influences from the Basque, the Irish, Acadians, Jersey Islanders, First Nations peoples and more. You'll find the entire area awash with copious museums, heritage attractions and fascinating historic sites, some of them UNESCO listed.
Forillon National Park, located on the north-eastern tip, is another must-visit with its looming cliffs, copious beaches and peaceful coves. Take the opportunity to learn more about the region's vibrant fishing history and rich ecosystem at various interpretation sites and don't forget to pay homage to Cap-des-Rosiers, Canada's largest lighthouse. The drive along the coast, passing lighthouses, windswept cliffs and lookout points is a spectacular one and you can break up the journey with opportunities for hiking, whale watching excursions and birdwatching.
Last but not least should be a visit to Parc de la Gaspesie located in an area delightfully known as the Chic-Chocs. Sainte-Anne-des-Monts is the principal gateway to this wild hinterland featuring dense forests and mountains that tower 4,000 feet above the banks of the mighty St. Lawrence. There are walking trails aplenty, traversing spacious valleys and scaling grandiose peaks, and be sure to keep your eyes peeled for caribou, moose, and wild-tailed deer along the way. Meanwhile, during the chillier months the area transforms into a veritable winter wonderland with snowshoeing being especially popular.
This spectacular region is another of Quebec's most popular tourist destinations. The town of Tadoussac is the gateway to the region, located where two of Quebec's major waterways meet – the Saguenay and the Saint Lawrence rivers. It's a fantastic destination for wildlife enthusiasts, especially for those keen on whale watching: the confluence of the two rivers creates an ideal spot to admire several whale species. Smaller varieties including belugas and minke can often be spotted from the shore, whilst zodiac tours organise excursions further out in search of the larger species.
The highlight of this area is undoubtedly the Parc National du Fjord-du-Saguenay which protects a large swathe of pristine nature along the breathaking Saguenay Fjord, the most southerly fjord in the northern hemisphere and also one of the world's longest. The deep blue waters of the fjord are framed by dramatic cliff walls, stretching some 500m high, encompassing numerous bays, coves and lakes and surrounded by wild pine forests. Make the most of the scenic surrounds by taking a hike along the fjord atop its capes, surrounded by mountains and forests on one side and the vast ocean on the other. There are over 100km of trails to explore across a vast expanse of backcountry, with the Des Caps trail being especially popular. The park also features three via ferrata circuits – exhilarating guided climbs that offer staggering views of the beautiful Baie Eternité.
Alternatively, take to the water in a kayak or boat cruise for a different perspective and for the chance to spot yet more whales which congregate in the warm waters of the Saguenay. If you're feeling really adventurous, there's the option to don scuba diving equipment and delve into the mysterious waters of the fjord. Learn more about the geology of this awe-inspiring landscape at the park's interpretive centre that's packed with practical information, exhibits, hands-on activities and theatrical presentations. Accommodation options abound, so you'll be well-serviced whatever your needs -whether you're in search of a cosy log cabin for two, a primitive backcountry campsite or something a little fancier in one of the picturesque villages along the fjord.
Next on the agenda should be a visit to the nearby Lac St Jean, so large it's easily mistaken for an inland sea. The circular shores of the lake are perfect for a range of exciting outdoor activities, including hiking, biking (along the fantastic paved Veloroute des Bleuets) and horse riding, and of course you can take to the water itself to enjoy sailing, canoeing and fishing. The area encompasses the picturesque Pointe-Taillon National Park that protects more than 40km of shoreline and sandy beaches. The warm waters of the lake are great for swimming and water sports in summer and especially popular with families. Kids will also enjoy the wonderful wildlife park at Saint-Felicien, whilst the area's settlements are known for their quality locally-produced foods and fun-filled annual festivals such as the Traversée Internationale du Lac Saint-Jean and the Festival du Bluets.

(or JYA) – Study abroad during the entirety of a student's junior year in college. This term was once used widely as a near synonym to Study Abroad. However, it has gradually fallen out of favor, as it does not reflect accurately the diversity of program durations or of the class standing of participating students.

Turn Backstop to our advantage, says Alliance
Posted on September 19, 2018 May 17, 2019
Alliance Party Deputy Leader and Brexit Spokesperson, Stephen Farry, has welcomed further efforts by the European Commission to de-dramatise the proposed backstop and called upon the UK Government to respond positively, as it is in UK's interest to do in order to secure the Withdrawal Agreement.
Speaking earlier today, Dr Farry further called for greater pragmatism within Northern Ireland recognition of the potential for the region to gain a comparative economic advantage if Brexit proceeds.
Stephen Farry said: "Alliance is encouraged at continued efforts by Michael Barnier and the EU's Article 50 Taskforce to reach a conclusion on the backstop. The backstop must be an essential component of any Withdrawal Agreement. Therefore to avoid the catastrophic no deal situation, the UK Government does need to reach an agreement on this point.
"The backstop carries the minimum required to avoid a hard border and to protect the Good Friday Agreement. That need only arises from the decision of the UK to leave the European Union and the dismissal of the Government and its allies in the DUP of a UK-wide soft Brexit based around continued participation in the Single Market and a new Custom Union.
"It is only intended as a safety net, and should be superseded by the future relationship. The backstop must be seen in purely pragmatic and economic terms. It is not a constitutional question. Northern Ireland's status can only be addressed through the Principle of Consent. Northern Ireland remains part of the UK, but already under devolution Northern Ireland handles a wide range of economic and other matters differently. Nor would the backstop cut off or hinder access to Great Britain.
"The backstop is far from perfect. It is essentially defensive in nature. But if the UK continues to rule out a Customs Union and membership of the Single Market, the backstop should inform the nature of any special arrangements for Northern Ireland. While Brexit as a whole would be damaging, these would nevertheless allow Northern Ireland to position itself as a bridge between the Great Britain and the European Union. We could have a foothold in both and as such seek comparative economic advantage. Many in the business community are already seeing this opportunity.
"The UK needs a deal on the backstop and should provide positively to the revised formulation coming from the Commission. In turn, it is important that all political voices in Northern Ireland stand up for the economic interests of this region. It would be a tragic and historic mistake if intransigence around the backstop not only means a missed opportunity but condemns Northern Ireland to economic stagnation and even deeper political turmoil."
Brexit Stephen Farry

Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) MR imaging and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in differentiating primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) from glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Materials and Methods: Fifty patients, 17 with PCNSL and 33 with GBM, were retrospectively studied. From the 3 Tesla IVIM data, the perfusion fraction (f) and diffusion coefficient (D) were obtained. In addition, the maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) was obtained from the FDG-PET data. Each of the three parameters was compared between PCNSL and GBM using Mann-Whitney U-test. The performance in discriminating between PCNSL and GBM was evaluated using receiver-operating characteristics analysis and area-under-the-curve (AUC) values for the three parameters. Results: The fmax and Dmin values were significantly higher in GBM than in PCNSL (P < 0.01 and P < 0.0001, respectively). In addition, the SUVmax value was significantly lower in GBM than in PCNSL (P < 0.0005). The AUC values for fmax, Dmin, and SUVmax were 0.756, 0.905, and 0.857, respectively. The combination of the fmax and Dmin increased the diagnostic performance (AUC = 0.936) of fmax (P < 0.05), but this value was not significantly different from the values for Dmin (P = 0.30). Conclusion: IVIM-MR imaging noninvasively provides useful quantitative information in distinguishing between PCNSL and GBM. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2016;44:1256–1261.
