Prior to the 1954 football season, Bryant took 111 Texas A & M players to Junction, Texas, for a ten-day football camp. After ten days, only thirty-five were left. The rest walked away because of the rigorous schedule and the desert conditions. But those who survived went on to great success both on and off the field.
The writer of Hebrews reminds believers we are in a competition to win also. But ours is between good and evil. As representatives of Christ, we are assigned the responsibility of disseminating His love across the globe. Winning at that involves intentionality.
To win we must train, which requires dedication and hard work. Those who occasionally win without training can chalk it up to good luck. Most winning requires rigorous training. For the believer, it entails stripping off weights that slow us down and putting away sins that trip us up. Weights come in variegated forms: busyness, misplaced priorities, unhealthy relationships, neglect of spiritual disciplines.
We also have to monitor our reaction to failure when things don't turn out as planned—even though we think we're following God's plan. I can be a sour loser, or I can seek God's direction, get up, and try again.
Experience is a great teacher. While it would have been nice to know as a young boy what I know now as an adult, I would have missed the experiences that furnished me that knowledge. Enjoying the journey is part of winning.
Believers are always winners in God's eyes—whether or not we win at everything we put our hand to in life. How I handle setbacks speaks volumes about my character. In life, not everyone gets a trophy—as they might in sporting events where the children are small and just learning to play.
When you run the race of faith, you never lose—so don't quit along the way. God's power will carry you through every circumstance.

I did not believe him. I believed him to be drunk at that time so I rang him up the next morning and told him to tell me all about Best Search Engine. Without wasting much of my time I decided to log on to your Best Search Engine. This was extremely quick and thorough. It even lists the most remote of the results- the type of results which are hard to come by in other search engines. Since I am working on the development of a new product for my company, I have to do a lot of research work on the computer. With those outdated and effete search engines internet search hardly bore me any fruit, but now, with Best Search Engine, I have enhanced my pace to a great extent and my product development project is in its final stages. Even my manager, who is always eager to point out my mistakes and make me feel embarrassed all the time, now never stops asking about your Best Search Engine. My luck has dramatically changed with this search engine and now I am trying out new ideas with it. Besides providing detailed results about the searches I would also commend Best Search Engine on its lightening speed: where other search engines take too long in sorting out the possible results the Best Search Engine makes the results readily available within a blink of an eye. It is so hard to believe is not it. Ever since then I have been advising my friends and colleagues about the Best Search Engine. The world is increasingly becoming a place where only the best and the fastest survive and if you are still working on your dull and outdated search engine or browser then, my friend, you are in deep trouble. I always advise my junior co-workers to use Best Search Engine and they find it to be a very good one and I would advise you the same. Just don't get hooked to those archaic search engines when you can easily have Best Search Engine for completing your research work. It is a great one.

"My daughter's foundation was born out of her passion to create a better world where people are kinder and nicer to one another and are accepted for who they are, regardless of how different they may be. She has experienced many of the struggles that our youth encounter today, and identifies with the lasting effects they can have without proper support. Together, we look forward to creating a new movement that will engage and empower youth and accept them as valuable members of our society.

Michael-Enoch-Peinovich:
https://majorityrights.com/uploads/TRS-Michael-Enoch-Peinovich-SHsGbt-BdNI-01m16s.png
" Enoch was the man responsible for "heilgate" by throwing up the Roman salute for the MSM cameras at NPI(The organizers of NPI would have to have known his identity. Richard Spencer and anyone else involved.
).So we have the man largely responsible for rallying the "alt right" around the Trump campaign, and then the same man is responsible for giving justification for Trump disavowing them."
"Note: The name 'Pejnovic' has a diaspora in 20 countries around the world and has its highest concentration in Zagreb, Gospic and Klenovac, Croatia. It is found in small numbers in Peru, the United States and the Russian Federation. 'Peinovich' is a Russian-Jhewish variant that found its way into the diaspora of the United States and Argentina."
"Of particular significance is Peinovich's relationship to Kyle Bristow. Bristow is the Executive Director of Foundation for the Marketplace of Ideas, Inc., an Alt-Right organisation that advocates on behalf of Alt-Right figures and coordinates legal services for them. Peinovich joined its board of directors on 11 December 2016, joining five lawyers, and law student, and a journalist who were already on the board of directors there. I presume they too might like everyone to believe that they didn't notice anything?

http://mattforney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/enoch-btfo-1024×910.png
Always keep the context in mind: "Mike Enoch" had no problem putting OTHER PEOPLE at risk when he ran to the front of the stage at the NPI conference, posed for the cameras, and did a "Sieg Heil." Later on in a podcast he and his collaborators encouraged others to use the "Roman Salute" in public as a symbol of defiance.
But of course "Mike Enoch" doesn't eat his own dogfood – he wants YOU to be a "neo-Nazi" in public, while he goes to great lengths to hide his own identity, his Jewish wife, his multi-racial family, and his job at a New York City publishing company.
And when he is caught, and his own identity and career are at stake – he denies everything – he throws his fellow TRS people under the bus, and begs the Jewish media like Salon.com to cover for him

https://s24.postimg.org/t3oy19k6t/hey_weev_watcha_doin.jpg
Another one of key significance is Peinovich's connection to Andrew 'Weev' Auerenheimer. Weev is the person who basically did a significant amount of work on the TRS website in order to 'secure' it. At some point between 2014 and 2017, the Paypal donations on that site were deactivated and only the Bitcoin donations remained. If Weev was the one who implemented that change, did he not notice the email address linked to their Paypal account was a glaring giveaway about who Mike Enoch really is? But if he did notice the disturbing truth, why did he not alert anyone? Many people could speculate."

Tommy robson/ EDL :
mortgage fraud case re Robinson (he's used at least four aliases) involved several people including an estate agent (named Rothschild!), all of whom were convicted and the sum involved was Pounds 500,000. Not an insignificant amount, with funds changing hands on the same day amongst these people. TR entered the US on a false passport (yes, it's illegal) ostensibly to attend a rally. I've a nice bridge in Brooklyn to sell you if you believe his story. He is not against the destruction of England through immigration/invasion, he's all in favour of multiculturalism, and a staunch ally of Israel (for whom Britain under its present partly jewish PM and previous PM, has been fighting wars to assist Israel in its Greater Israel project to destabilise the Middle East and remove its original Christian peoples). He joined he most transparent of all islamic fronts, the Quillam Foundation (outed over five years ago!). At the very least he is a tool of the false 'counter jihad movement' (also outed by several sources years ago, especially the background funders and US NGO supporters). I saw a piece up recently at GoV featuring Gavin Bobby, originally presented as the force behind an org that would help prevent mosques being built in Britain. They haven't had a case since 2011, ever since Bobby gave a speech supporting Israel. If this all sounds negative, it's because there is no real active movement, and these fronts (EDL and Pegida being the best known) are wasting the time, energy, monies and good intentions of thousands of genuinely concerned people. It is callous, ruthless and ultimately not intended to get anywhere.

"Five Sentenced for Mortgage Fraud" (his 'real' name, Stephen Lennon, is used in the article)
"Further associate members of the group went on to purchase properties with deposits on occasions provided by Lennon and with mortgages fraudulently brokered by Rothschild".
Obviously, apart from his own case for which he was charged and found guilty, SL/TR, etc, was involved in various fraudulent mortgage deals.
Tom Sullivan says:
The judge "described Robinson as a "fixer" who had introduced others to fraudulent mortgage broker Deborah Rothschild."

Man of White Skin says:
Tommy's wrong about multiculturalism. Islam is the problem and so is multiculturalism. Do you ever wonder why hip-hop, rap & grime music have such power these days in the music industries? It's not some global conspiracy, it's simply because people want to listen to that trash – believe it or not – and the reason for that is that black (ghetto) culture is seen to be more masculine, violent, confrontational and ultimately the dominant culture. There's nobody to really blame for this. It's just nature. Cultures clash and fight implicitly against one another for the top spot and the only real way to resolve this problem is to remove non-whites from white countries.
stan788 says:
Tommy Robinson is even more of a multiculturist, multi-racialist cuck than Paul Joseph Watson and Gavin McInnes.
Everyone already knows that Muslims are third-world savages, and that Islam is incompatible with the West.
But, Muslim invaders are the symptom, not the disease.
The disease is a different, hostile, barbaric tribe. — Jews.
Everyone in the Alt-Right knows that it was the Jews who opened our gates to the alien hordes in order to destroy every, White, Christian Nation.
If someone keeps filling your house with poisonous snakes, it's useless to spend your time talking about how terrible poisonous snakes are. — You solve the problem by attacking the person who's filling your house with snakes.
If every Muslim vanished tomorrow, Western Civilization would still be on the road to destruction.
If every Jew vanished tomorrow, Western Civilization would rapidly make a full recovery.
Badger says:
Robinson has spoken out against immigration generally fairly recently but he seems unable or unwilling to commit to it or to go the whole hog and delve into who's behind it all, probably because he's got people like Pam Geller in his ear. And in his defence, he's persecuted by the state enough as it is, if he started naming the jew as well it could be extremely costly for him.
It's a shame, if he came over to our way of thinking he'd be a real asset I think.
EDL is Just a Pro Homo, Pro Multik-kulti, Jewish Front. REAL british Nationalist Stand for the PRESERVATION of British/Saxon/Celtic Values, Culture, and Ethnicity. But the Kosher clowns in the EDL just don't value that, and just want to make this whole struggle a Jewish vs Muzzie issue, while at the same time holding hands with their Rainbow coalition.

Description of Test: Establishing a base line we brought the vehicle to near knock on pump grade, 93 octane. We then added 1qt of BOOSTane to somewhere between 6 and 7 gallons, depending on what was burned in establishing base lines. The unique aspect of these dyno pulls were to test the "adaptive" tuning that had been experience with some of our other BMW customers. Once the BOOSTane was added, 4 pulls were made. Each pull experiencing slight gains, until what can be assumed is that the ECU took full advantage of the range of its MAP, and was able to advance timing to the point at which the above results were experienced. AGAIN, NO FLASHING OR MAPPING WAS DONE. This was a pour it in and watch the results.

Iraq: May Deadliest in 8 Months
U.S. Soldier Killed in Northern Iraq

That raises the number of American troop deaths so far in May to at least 21 — the deadliest month for American forces in Iraq since September, when 25 died.
A military statement said the grenade detonated Friday near a patrol in the northern province of Ninevah.
At least 4,303 members of the U.S. military have died in Iraq since the war began in March 2003. …

Kris Jenner Sells Her Home For $15 Million Cash To Heiress
August 19, 2020 by Robin Ayers in TV with 0 Comments
Kris Jenner Sells Her Hidden Hills Home For $15 Million Cash To Heiress
Kris Jenner has made yet, another power move. This time selling her home located in Hidden Hills, CA–an intimate, private community located next to the city of Calabasas, for $15 million dollars (cash) after paying just under $10 million for the home three years ago.
The famous manager and reality star mom to the Kardashians/Jenners, kept the sale within close quarters, though. The off-market sale was made to buyer Katharina Harf, the younger daughter of Coty chairman and CEO Peter Harf, whose company last year acquired Kylie Jenner's cosmetics brand for $600 million in cash.
Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian
The home features six bedrooms and eight bathrooms with over 9,459 square feet.
Kris Jenner owns multiple properties including three condos in Calabasas, a $12 million desert getaway home in La Quinta and a mansion on Hidden Hills.
The Hidden Hills home is said to be located across from Kim Kardashian's and Kanye West's mansion.
Kris Jenner's new homeowner of the house, Katherina Harf, is the Co-Founder of DKMS, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to the fight against blood cancer and blood disorders. The organization was started by her father, Dr. Peter Harf, when he lost his wife Mechtild to Leukemia.
What do you think of Kris Jenner's power move? Tell us below.

HomeNews DeskArea NewsElrod Leaving Post as Polk County Chamber Executive Director
Elrod Leaving Post as Polk County Chamber Executive Director
January 22, 2021 Area News, Local News, News Desk 0
MEDIA RELEASE:
The Executive Director of the Polk County Chamber of Commerce, Blair Elrod, is leaving her post, the Chamber announced on Friday. She has served in the role since January 2018.
Elrod's decision to step down was a personal one.
"In this season of life I feel called to dedicate my time to raising our son," she said.
Elrod said the decision came after many prayers. She will remain in the position until a new leader is in place.
"I am committed to continuing my support of the Chamber, and remain passionate about the business community and tourism," she added.
The Chamber's executive board has appointed a search committee led by board chair Dan Bevels to conduct a search for the organization's next Executive Director. Bevels is Public Relations Manager for Floyd Medical Center and has served on the Chamber's board since 2019.
"While we're sad to see Blair step down, we know she's doing so for a reason that is meaningful and important to she and her husband, Adam," Bevels said. "Blair stepped into her role with the Chamber at a time of challenging transition and has done a wonderful job leading our organization and preparing us for an exciting future."
Elrod, a lifelong resident of Polk County, holds degrees from the University of West Georgia and Shorter University as well as a certificate from Harvard University's Manage Mentor program. She is a graduate of the 2017 LEAD Polk program where she served as President and the 2019 Georgia Academy for Economic Development.
During Elrod's tenure, Polk County saw 25 new events and programs offered by the Chamber in addition to a state recognized COVID-19 Response Plan created by Elrod. She is also responsible for the creation of the Downtown Rockmart map for merchants, taught the Economic Development class for Polk County Youth Leadership, was instrumental in the accreditation of the Cedartown Depot as a Regional Visitors Information Center, brought HGTV stars from the show "Hometown" to speak to and inspire city leaders revitalization efforts, and ran a mask drive to ensure all Polk County elementary school students had a mask at the onset of the coronavirus, all while continuing to support the 265 Chamber members.
"It has been my honor to serve the residents of Polk County," she said. "There aren't enough words to express how I feel to have worked in my hometown."
Previously, Elrod worked for The Walt Disney Company, the WNBA, Six Flags Atlanta Properties, and ShawHankins.
Elrod went on to say, "I want to extend my sincere appreciation to all Chamber board members over the years. They each have been a pleasure to work alongside."
"I have been blessed to experience the very best Polk County has to offer — its' people. I am forever thankful that my parents modeled what it looks like to give back to our community in front of my brother and I. It is my hope that I was able to do the same and leave Polk County a better place to live, work and play than I originally found it. In this next season I look forward to spending time with my husband, Adam, and raising a little one who also understands the importance of giving back and of this special place we call home," she said.

Keep on truckin' - that's food maven's mantra
Meat-on-a-cart pair cooks up a recipe to expand
By The Hamilton Spectator
updateArticle was updated Feb. 29, 2020
There's only so much barbecue you can produce on a food cart, so MeatVentures, Hamilton's answer to all-things carnivorous, wants to graduate to a truck.
Owner Salar Madadi launched his cart in May after several years of making a hobby out of barbecue competitions.
He and his wife, Jeannie Crawford, saw the cart as a means to dip their toes into the mobile food business without diving right into the big costs of a full-scale truck.
"We needed to see whether he liked it and whether people liked the food before we jumped off the cliff," said Crawford.
Now they know those answers.
Madadi loves the food business and people raved about the food he served at Hamilton's growing food truck events.
So he's ready to give up his full-time job in IT. But he needs a truck to extend his season and to be able to produce bigger volumes of food.
They've borrowed the money to get a truck custom built and have launched an Indiegogo crowdfunding drive to raise $15,000 to outfit it with a high-quality generator and a rooftop sign, along with wrapping the truck in logos.
They are about 40 per cent of the way to the goal.
"I have no doubt in his ability to make great food," said Crawford, who is a real estate agent. "The big issue is getting it into more people's stomachs."
"A part-time cart isn't enough," added Madadi. "And it's too much work to just be a hobby."
Madadi, who is half Filipino and half Iranian, describes his food as international barbecue. He borrows from plenty of ethnic cuisines but doesn't really care about traditions.
Signature dishes include Madadi's bacon cr�me br�l�e and The Bacon Fatty, a bacon-weaved meatloaf sandwich. He even came up with a twist on a hotdog after being asked so many times if he served them.
"I want to do things that are different. If it tastes good, I will put it together."
The couple says the advice and support of the owners of Roux Commissary and other food truck operators has been invaluable. And their decision to move to Hamilton from Toronto three years ago makes it all possible, they say.
That's due to the thriving local food truck scene and the much lower cost of housing, which means they aren't locked into a huge mortgage. The couple, who married in September 2012, bought a three-bedroom house in the North End.
They make a point of supporting local charities, including the button jar at 541 Barton Eatery & Exchange and the Hamilton Dream Centre. One of their rewards in their crowd-funding campaign is to provide a Christmas morning package for families in need.
The couple's experience at the World Food Championships in Las Vegas this month solidified their decision to take the risk. Madadi qualified in the bacon category after winning The Canadian Bacon Championships in New Hamburg.
The Las Vegas contest included 400 teams in nine categories. Thirty-five of them were vying for the bacon crown and the $10,000 prize.
In the chef's choice first round, the couple prepared a Korean- and Filipino-inspired bacon slider with kimchi. Delivering the plates to the judges came down to a sprint and they weren't garnished as planned.
The second round required teams to produce a kicked-up version of bacon and eggs. Crawford struggled to peel the soft-boiled eggs, which were to be coated in panko bread crumbs and deep fried.
In the end, the couple wasn't among the top 10 teams to go on to the next round and a chance to compete for the $100,000 grand prize. It was disappointing, but they joked that placing 11th would be the worst way to finish.
Sure enough, when the scores were revealed the next morning, they missed being in the top 10 by 0.3 of a point on a score of 100.

I Wanted to Say Thanks; I Ended Up Saying Sorry
By Nancy Davis Kho
When I decided to mark my 50th birthday year by writing thank-you letters to people who had helped, inspired, and shaped me in my life, the last thing on my mind was forgiveness. But writing those thank-you letters turned out to be harder, deeper, and more meaningful than I'd ever hoped, in large part because it drove home the ways in which gratitude and forgiveness are twinned in human nature. By challenging myself to acknowledge all the ways in which I had been helped over the years, I necessarily faced facts: there were situations in which I hadn't always conducted myself in a way that made me deserving of the help. And in situations where I'd clung to historical slights by a family member or close friend, writing a letter documenting all the ways those people had supported me over the years made me blush with embarrassment over my hard work and determination to maintain ancient disappointments. Making amends as I went, whether in the text of the letters I wrote or simply by promising myself to do better going forward, became a means of clearing a flight path for gratitude's smooth landing.
I started figuring this out in the very first letter I wrote, to my mom. The youngest of three kids, I had convinced myself growing up that I was about as perfect a child as anyone could ever hope for. In fact, my older siblings still tease me about the fact that when one of them was getting disciplined, I'd materialize out of the ether to say, "But I'm a good girl, right? I'm a good girl?", which served only to make their situations worse. But as I wrote a letter to my mom, at a time when I was mothering my own teenage daughters, I knew what a fiction memories of my perfect behavior were. I wrote:
And also, I'm sorry, Mom. While I tend to romanticize the ease of our relationship ("I never fought with my mom! I was the third kid who rode around on her hip all day! I was her little buddy!") my guess is that I was actually as big a pain in your ass as the other two, if not bigger. I say this with confidence because I am a mother myself, and I now understand how much of ourselves we subjugate to our children's needs, how sturdy we have to be in the face of their drama and emotion, how much we are treated as background noise when in fact, it's us all along keeping the whole enterprise afloat.
Without making amends to my mom first, the full depth of my gratitude to her couldn't be properly expressed.
Writing a letter documenting all the ways people had supported me over the years made me blush with embarrassment over my determination to maintain ancient disappointments.
When I started writing a letter to my brother, I was more aware an apology was in order. Three years older than me and a football player, there had never been a time during our childhood when I could match him physically. So when it came to conflict, I learned to seek my moments to even the playing field in our inveitable, everyday sibling conflicts.
One day in high school, when we were home alone for a few hours until our parents returned from work, my brother went down into the basement to grab something, and I simply locked the door behind him before fleeing the house to hang out at a neighbor's. No reason. I just looked up from MTV, saw an opportunity, and went for it. My brother was stuck down there amongst Dad's tools and the washing machine and the snow shovels until Mom and Dad came home at dinnertime and freed him.
All these years since, with the evolution of our relationship into something much kinder and closer, I have felt guilty about that day. My brother may not have even remembered it, but the remorse I carried with me needed to be expressed before I could thank him for all the ways he's made my life better. Like the way that having him as my brother taught me to think on my feet:
That is not to say that it was always roses and sunshine between us when we were kids. If I haven't said it before: Sorry I locked in the basement that one time and then ran to Steinbrenners' house so I wouldn't hear you bellowing fire at me. I saw my moment, and I took it.… Thanks to you, I grew up with a thick skin, a quick comeback, and a soft spot for anyone who could take it as well as they could dish it out.
(By the way, was my prank that day the reason that my brother has transformed the basement of his current home into a replica British pub including armchairs, dart boards, and a selection of beers of the world? I wouldn't rule it out.)
As I worked on these letters I came to realize I didn't have to actually send the letters for me to feel happy I'd expressed my gratitude. The bigger realization was that focusing on and writing down the positive things in my relationships made it easier for me to simply let go of what didn't work well in them, effectively erasing the recording of stories I'd retold myself on a loop, sometimes for decades.
That realization cleared the way for me to write a thank-you letter to a close high school friend with whom I'd lost all contact, 20 years earlier. As my version of the story went, he ghosted me without explanation, despite my efforts to stay in touch. I maintained a nice little burning ember of resentment over the years, stoked whenever I heard about his life from mutual high school friends with whom he had stayed in contact. Why not me? I'd wonder. When I began this project, I certainly didn't put him on my list of people I wanted to thank.
But as I worked further through my list of letters, I knew I had to include him. Because when it came to "formative people" in my life, he had earned that berth in my shoulder-pad-and-Aquanet years, when I struggled to mask my lack of confidence with Bartles & Jaymes, clove cigarettes, and a proclivity for boys who looked down on me. In the unsent letter I wrote, I thanked my friend for all the times he'd prodded me to expect better for myself, to value my brains and ambitions instead of burying them for fear of scaring off the boys.
I realized that maybe the dissolution of our friendship had been more bilateral than I'd told myself. He had given me good advice that I ignored, to my detriment, so many times. The real miracle may have been that he stayed friends with me all the way through graduation day.
Either way, the resentments I had clung to for decades were small compared to the steadfast support he'd provided at a time I really needed it. The process of writing the thank-you letter finally poured water on that stupid ember of resentment, extinguishing it for good.
Then something kind of magical happened. A few months after I wrote — and didn't send — the gratitude letter, my old friend got in touch. Because I had taken the time to think through forgiveness and gratitude and the role I played in our terminated friendship, I was able to receive his overture with a measure of humility and authentic joy that I never could have mustered before I wrote it. We've picked up our friendship right where it left off.
If I'd thought of my letter-writing initiative as my "Apology Project" rather than my "Thank-You Project," I probably never would have written past the second or third letter. Who wants to start off a gala birthday season on the back foot? But 50 letters of gratitude later, I understand in a profound and powerful way how a well-expressed apology, even if it's tardy, can become the fertile soil in which gratitude can flourish.

The extraordinary autonomy of sports bodies under Swiss law: lessons to be drawn
Author - Margareta Baddeley
High-profile decisions of the sports governing bodies and subsequent judicial decisions of the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) in Lausanne, the Swiss Federal Tribunal and, sometimes, the European Court of Human Rights frequently draw wide public attention to the fact that in litigations of the sports world, the decisions of the sports governing bodies will generally be upheld on court appeal. This is due to the extraordinary autonomy that sports governing bodies enjoy under Swiss law, deriving on the one hand from the liberal legislations in Switzerland governing associations and arbitration, and on the other hand, from their equally liberal application by the courts, especially in sports-related cases. While the high degree of self-regulation and arbitration in sports allowed the efficient handling of the increasingly complex activities of international sports and of the ever-rising cases of contention among its stakeholders, it is also necessary to point out the flaws of the resulting situation: for the governing bodies of international sports, self-regulation serves primarily the smooth organization of sports, while the specific interests of the subjects of their rules, in particular those of the lower level sports organizations and of athletes, are of secondary importance or may fall completely by the way-side. By contrast, state and international political and judiciary bodies must weigh the interests and rights of all parties involved when regulating relations or deciding in litigation between private parties, so as to ensure that the essential rights of the weaker parties are respected in all situations. This is a heavy responsibility for courts facing the bulk and the power of international sports governing bodies, foremost the Swiss Federal Tribunal, and to a certain extent also the Swiss legislator.

The Story of Our Food: Understanding food systems through education
by Tessa Van Eijsden on 4 June, 2021 in Climate change, Food and Culture, Health
In September 2019, I started a Master in Gastronomy at the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo, Italy. Attending the master and moving to Italy – the land of 'pure' foods and 'honest' dishes – was the next step in my search for 'how to make the world a better place'. From selling office spaces to working as a chef in hotel and restaurant kitchens, becoming a student (again) would hopefully educate me enough to become an expert on (food related) environmental issues. In March 2021, I graduated feeling anything but an expert on environmental issues, but incredibly empowered to start contributing to making the world a better place, 'one scone at the time', as my friend Arlette so nicely put it.
When I started my Masters in Gastronomy at the University of Gastronomic Sciences, I did not feel that school was feeding me all the information I needed to fully understand the environmental consequences of my eating and food related choices. They were, however, feeding me plenty – from coffee, beer and wine to cheese, chocolate and honey tastings. We had cooking lessons and themed dinners with the whole class, which we very quickly graduated to doing in our spare time too. Sitting around a dinner table with people from all over the world, I was more aware than ever of 'how Dutch' I am. During every dinner I attended or co-hosted, cultural food differences and cultural (food) exchanges were the primary topics discussed and everybody listened, observed and asked questions. Although I was incredibly grateful for these experiences, I was still struggling to put the pieces of the puzzle together, until visiting professor Barny Haughton, founder of Square Food Foundation, gave us a course on Food Education.
One of the first things Barny will teach you is that Food Education is not just about nutrition and health. Food education is inextricably linked to social and environmental wellbeing.
'If we want resilient food systems, we need resilient communities and if we want resilient communities, we need a food educated society,' says Barny.
This is a message that Barny – and many like-minded others – has been spreading during his 20 year 'fight' to put Food Education on the curriculum of all primary and secondary schools. Inspired by Barny's holistic approach, I volunteered to work the four weeks before Christmas at Barny's Square Food Foundation. Although the team were still trying to figure out how to deal with the new COVID-19 lockdown regulations, it simultaneously made them more determined to spread their vision of good and accessible food: children of all ages and their parents, should be empowered to buy and cook the food that will feed their souls and nourish their bodies. The recipes and accompanied meal-kits that the Square Food Foundation team prepared, sought to address some of the economic challenges facing many local families during the pandemic – such as supplying ingredients for meals with a long shelf life (in case the family does not have a fridge) – in an attempt to empower all children to cook and take care of themselves. I felt fortunate to help with delivering the Christmas Hampers which were filled with donated products. The experience was as heart-warming as it was heart-breaking; you think you know the circumstances less fortunate people live under, but you do not. I left Bristol at the same time that England went into an even stricter lockdown and thus the importance of food education felt even more pressing. Food soothes the soul and feeds the brain and all children should be given access to the tools that can help them to understand the important role that food plays in their lives.
Upon my departure Barny asked if I would be interested in working alongside him on a project called 'The Story Of Our Food', in partnership with The Sustainable Food Trust's Harmony Project. A few months prior, he and Richard Dunne, Director of the Harmony Project, were introduced to each other by Chief Executive of the SFT, Patrick Holden. Their relationship blossomed as they found they shared a similar mission: to shift practices so that an understanding of sustainable food systems, from farm to fork, are embedded within all forms of learning, in primary and secondary schools, cookery schools and on farms as an educational stage. The Harmony Project team worked with us to explore how Nature's principles of Harmony (Interdependence, Cycles, Adaptation, Health, Diversity, Oneness and Geometry) can be the building blocks of a food-centred curriculum. Over the past six months, we have been working together, gathering information by participating in roundtable discussions and giving each other homework (as Barny likes to call it), to setup a pilot project: The Story Of Our Bread. This week-long programme of activities is now being piloted in a local, Bristol primary school. The aim of The Story of Our Bread is to explore enquiry questions such as, 'where does bread come from?', 'how do we use it?' and 'what does it taste like?' linked to subject areas like geography, history, maths and art. Not to mention practical cookery sessions led by the Square Food team. The team hope that this pilot will act as a taster for what food education could look like if delivered across the school year, with different seasonal foods as the focus.
I came to realise that there is a lot that you can learn about how the world works from a bag of flour and a willingness to bake bread. Bread (and many other foods when explored in detail) can be used as a tool for exploring cultural similarities and differences. Where did your bag of flour come from? Which countries did it pass through? Which type of wheat do you use to make your bread? When was the seed planted and when was the wheat harvested? When applied to education, these questions can be expanded into activities, such as, can you write a story or poem about the bread you eat in the morning, afternoon or evening? Can you make a drawing of the tastiest bread you have ever eaten? How does bread taste, smell and feel?
One of the things that I learnt during my time working with Barny, is that both children and adults learn by doing and feel empowered when they do something right. This confidence building can create a ripple effect throughout other parts of the individual's life, which can positively impact their relationships with friends, family and the wider community. The simple act of baking bread together teaches us to work together, to communicate and to create – and it is a lot of fun!
Imagine a generation of school leavers who understand the bigger picture of food and the significant connections between food, human and environmental health. If food education were central to a child's school experience, our young people would be better placed to take control of the food system in the future, one loaf at a time.
The importance of Food Education is that no matter the child's circumstances they are able to understand how food shapes their environment and day-to-day lives. This way they will be able to take control one pancake, pizza or pita at a time.
There are many organisations across the UK doing some fantastic work around food education. If you are interested in learning more about The Story Of Our Food project and our wider collaborations, The Square Food Foundation and Harmony Project teams would love to hear from you.

Re-examining the goals and purposes of our arena.
For educators, the old standby of textbooks still works in the modern world. However, as educators know, relying solely on books in an age where information is more available than ever does a disservice to everyone across the education chain: from administrators to teachers to students to parents. Technology is capable of delivering information instantly and on a massive scale, and the goal of the edtech industry is to make this happen in smart, efficient ways while maintaining the highest standards of quality.
The edtech industry needs a way to make supplemental material available in an easily accessible and searchable way — all while ensuring quality content.
Educators have been making use of online resources to supplement textbooks and curriculum since the rise of broadband access more than a decade ago. However, finding materials that offer both high quality and specific lesson objectives can be challenging due to the overwhelming volume of content indexed by search engines. With increasing student-to-teacher ratios generally increasing, particularly in public schools, time is a valuable commodity for teachers. Thus, the edtech industry needs a way to make supplemental material available in an easily accessible and searchable way — all while ensuring quality content.
Convenience. Teachers today have an enormous number of responsibilities. Not only are they committed to delivering high-quality curriculum; they are generally facing high student-to-teacher ratios while on small budgets. Bite-sized supplementary material that can be easily searched for and discovered online is one potential solution for time- and fund-strapped teachers. These resources can be added to existing lesson plans or assigned as a whole to small groups or individuals, which is ideal for teachers leading classes of diverse learners with varying interests and at all different ability levels. Today's digital market provides powerful search engines for curated, topic- and standard-specific material that can be downloaded as needed and customized to suit a teacher's specific needs.
Depth. The competition for college acceptance, grants, and scholarships is fiercer than ever before, and in many cases, test scores play a significant role in these decisions. Thus, students need quality materials to prepare for assessments. This means having quick access to detailed instruction and practice assessments with the goal of fostering deep understanding on both conceptual and applicative levels. Edtech libraries and marketplaces work well in these instances due to the depth of catalog and immediacy of distribution, but only when the quality of content is consistently high.
Affordability. Cost is a factor for both educators and students. Educators are dealing with increasingly shrinking budgets at a time when demands and pressures are higher. Students come from all backgrounds and may not be able to afford preparation material for AP exams or college courses. For teachers, being able to select and purchase digital content from a catalog in bite-size pieces allows them to optimize their budget, particularly when they can propagate it into further customized materials. For students, affordability is one of the top priorities of supplementary content. The digital realm allows them to focus on quality, quantity, and cost.
Metrics. The wonderful thing about digital content is that it can be a dynamic and living thing, updated and optimized as needed. However, this only works when effective feedback is delivered. That's why detailed metrics can provide close-up looks at what is working, what isn't working, and why, along with which content is the most popular, which is too difficult, and which simply isn't connecting. In order to do this, effective analytics and feedback tools need to be integrated into content—this must be established at the infrastructure level of edtech platforms.
Quality crowdsourced material. The internet has been a double-edged sword for many industries. On one hand, it provides instant access and unlimited information. On the other hand, that information often varies in quality and depth, causing users across the board to spend far too much time searching for valuable, credible resources. Edtech platforms need to embrace the ability to aggregate content from contributors all over the world, yet also commit to strong vetting processes. This can help a platform establish itself as a brand that can be trusted and develop a reputation as an industry leader.
In the end, technology is only as good as its content. Without high-quality materials, it's an engine without a destination, an exercise in technical achievement rather than tangible progress. For the edtech industry, the goal is then to deliver on all fronts: craft an infrastructure that promotes distribution and analysis, generate content that hits specific needs, and ensure both consistent quality and ample choice. With that, teachers and students can take control of their destinies, with society as a whole benefitting.

Venezuela formally asks Brazil for the extradition of five rebel soldiers
By	 January 3, 2020

MADRID, Jan. 3 (EUROPE PRESS) –
Venezuela has formally requested this Thursday the extradition of the five military uprisings of the Venezuelan Army involved in the incident last December 22 in two barracks in Luepa, in which an officer died, and who are currently in Brazil as refugees.
This was reported by the attorney general of Venezuela, Tarek William Saab, through his Twitter account, where he added that the petition has been sent to his Brazilian counterpart, Augusto Aras, informing him of the start of the procedures for extradition.
"The Venezuelan Public Ministry, in the exercise of its constitutional and legal powers, proceeds to formally request the necessary formalities from the Federal Republic of Brazil, in order to make the aforementioned citizens available to the Venezuelan authorities," according to It can be read in the letter that accompanies Saab's messages.
In this context, Venezuela has reminded Brazil that in the case of the rebel military there is no right to shelter because "they have committed what can be considered serious common crimes."
According to Venezuelan authorities, "a group of armed terrorists" attacked two military barracks in the Gran Sabana municipality, in Luepa, and stole 120 assault rifles and nine rocket launchers.
"From Peru they enter Colombia and also receive support in Brazil. It is a coup strategy of triangulation of governments of the Lima cartel to produce violence, death and political destabilization in Venezuela," said Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza on Twitter.

Cinema is Rosa Barba's language. She creates it, analyses it, researches it and dissects it separating its different parts – such as words, soundtracks, images, and light - and (re)presents them, sometimes isolated from each other. Film, with its limitations as a medium, is transformed into a sculptural and textual object. There is a constant transposition, a continuous flow between being a medium and being the art object, between being content and being form. Rosa Barba is very interested in how film, as a document, relates to reality, how history itself relates to reality. In this sense her films inhabit what seems to be a doc-fiction discourse, questioning itself constantly.
In her installations, such as Invisible Act (2010), we are confronted with the continual transposition of material into image and back again. The projectors become a central moment of the installation, surpassing their ontological purpose and becoming closer to kinetic machines or sci-fi experiments. This idea of exploring the boundaries of the medium is at the core of this artist's practice.
Rosa Barba, Italian, born in 1972, lives in Berlin.

Grand Mondial Casino Review


In 1963 my first car was a Rover 12, to be followed by a P3 60 when a Bentley smashed into the 12 killing it. I have very fond memories of these reliable, stylish, comfortable cars. Later on I drove a 95 and in my middle years an SD1 as a company car. About 6 weeks ago I bought a 1947 12. The car is running but has a few mechanical issues and looks cosmetically tired. I am enjoying getting to know it with more seasoned mechanical eyes than the teenager back in 1963.
I am mainly a motorcycle man but most of them have had to be ejected from the garage under covers to make room for the Rover, which is sitting there with its wings off waiting for the radiator to be recored.
Best to make sure that the Radiator firm fit a new core the exact height of the old core, not higher. Otherwise the rad cap will ride too high and cause endless frustration when the front end is reassembled. On the production line, the wings and rad shell were loosely assembled off the car and lifted on as a unit. Once aligned (by shaking according to the report in Motor), bolts were tightened up.
Thanks for your advice Mike. Unfortunately a bit late. I will however ring the guy tomorrow. But as it has been with him now 3 weeks I suspect he may have done it by now. I suppose rather naively perhaps, I assumed that they would make sure the external dimensions of the repaired radiator would be the same as before because clearly it has to fit within its original frame work.

Q: FieldValue.increment not working in offline in flutter I have to increment a value in firebase firestore and the data is look like this
{
   "key":{
      "name":"Apple",
      "quantity":12
   }
}

I need to increment quantity by one. For this I use this Function.
FirebaseFirestore.instance.runTransaction((transaction) async {
      transaction.set(
          documentReference,
          {
            "key":{
              "quantity" : FieldValue.increment(1)
            }
          },
          SetOptions(merge: true));
      return transaction;
    });

This is working fine when the app is connected with network. But when the app goes offline, the value just increment by 1 when the app is connected again. Though several times quantity has increased in offline but it just increment by 1 when the connection is back.

A: The problem is that you are using a transaction for that, the way transactions work is by getting the current value of a field to determine the new value and the Firebase clients don't persist transactions across app restarts because the concept of transactions doesn't work well when a user is not connected.
Therefore the way transactions work makes it impossible for your current code to increment more than one time when offline. So in order to achieve what you want it would be better to take this out of a transaction/increment approach and possibly rethink the structure of your app to accomodate this counter in a different way, like a list of keys and a background function that gets the list when the app gets back online and increments it, for example.

On April 22, people all over the world celebrate Earth Day. On this day, we honor the Earth and find ways to make it better. Many things hurt the Earth, such as pollution, wasting energy and littering. Living things depend on the Earth for clean air, clean water and sunlight for growth. When the Earth is sick, the animals, plants and people who depend on it suffer. The first Earth Day was on April 22, 1970, but every day should be Earth Day. Every day, we should care about clean air to breathe, clean water to drink and make sure the Earth is healthy.
We can keep Earth clean, safe and healthy by remembering the three R's: reduce, reuse and recycle. People use energy such as gas, fuel, water and electricity. Reduce means to use less energy so that Earth's resources are saved. Every day, people around the world throw garbage away. When people throw garbage away, it goes to landfills where it causes pollution. Reuse means to use something again and again. Instead of throwing everything away, people can reuse items and stop them from going to landfills. The last of the three R's is recycle. Recycle means to take something old, change it, and make it new. Metals, glass, and even paper can be recycled. Reduce, reuse and recycle are important tools for saving planet Earth.
Taking care of the Earth isn't a job just for grown-ups. Kids can help keep the Earth healthy, clean and safe. Everyone must do his or her part every day, not just on Earth Day. It is our job to take care of every living thing, no matter how big or small.
