Fried eggs on polenta, and the mini corndog bites are like comfort food heaven! SOme amazing recipes in here, although american cup measures are a must! I really enjoyed the stories behind each recipe as well, as I don't tend to use so much those cook books that have no narrative or history. A valued addition to the shelf, and I am especially pleased as I got this at an absolutely bargainous price used!
i love books!

3.0 out of 5 stars I know this is heresy but.....
I realise that I am going against a whole generation and large following for Melissa Clark but...this cook book really didn't do it for me. It's not an Anglo-American thing, its not the personal stories that she tells but for me the book doesn't work on so many levels. It is not so much a cookbook rather more a personal journey through food with recipes - that is fine in itself and Melissa Clark is clearly an amazing cook but whereas Nigel Slater, Skye Gyllengal and many others write with you and for you - colluding in the impression that you can do this with them - somehow Clark gives a distant impression and the book doesnt' lend itself( despite the title) of wanting to cook what she describes
It will be great for her fans but for others its OK

2.0 out of 5 stars Annoyed me
I was rearranging cookbooks after a kitchen remodel and had forgotten this one, but was drawn in by the sandwich on the cover so gave it another look. I enjoy an origin story, I really do, but the way she wrote was so self conscious, as if she studied every sentence with a thesaurus on hand. I found it precious and not adorable. There are some unique recipes that I'm interested to try. The leeks with sharp mustard vinaigrette sounded really interesting, but is it an appetizer, a snack, something you serve with roasted chicken? The same goes for bacon pecan pralines. They're both unusual and potentially interesting, but what are they supposed to look like, and are they meant to be paired with something? There are no pictures, and no pairing suggestions. That combined with the fact that her writing style really grated (see what I did there? Haha) makes this a cookbook I cannot recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!
Reviewed in the United States on 21 May 2015
Love this cookbook! I've made about 15 of the recipes, and they've all been excellent. While a knowledge of basic cooking is essential (of course), few of the recipes are particularly time or labor intensive, and some are downright easy. And the ingredients can be found at any local grocery. And yet, given the ease of cooking and the standard ingredients, Clark's recipes are delicious. She is an artist, excelling at combining flavors and textures, so that each dish is far more than the sum of its parts. I highly recommend this book!
I would point out one thing. This isn't a criticism of the book, but simply a caution. It seems these days that people want a cookbook with a specific eating theme- vegetarian, gluten-free, paleo, low-carb, low-fat, vegan, comfort food, BBQ, desserts, etc. This book doesn't fall into any category. It contains a wide range of recipe types, something for everyone, but not a lot of any one kind. I love that about the book. Something to fit my every taste and mood.


CEAC's mission statement is to work towards making Cochrane and area residents a more environmentally aware and active community.
- To enhance awareness and educate about our inter-relationships with the natural world and the impact of our lifestyle choices on the health of the community and the Earth's ecosystems.
- To identify and undertake the projects that encourage environmental responsibility and a sense of community.
- To increase our effectiveness through partnerships and cooperation within local and global communities.
- To encourage participation and foster hope in the challenge of ensuring an environmentally sustainable future.
Since 1989, the Cochrane Environmental Action Committee (CEAC) has been involved in local and regional environmental issues. CEAC has approached environmental concerns as opportunities to seek solutions by engaging stakeholders, other organizations and citizens. This approach has garnered CEAC much respect and an esteemed position in the community.
The Cochrane Environmental Action Committee sponsors and operates the Cochrane Farmers' Market at the Cochrane Ranche Historic Site. The market is run by CEAC volunteers and all proceeds from the market go to support CEAC in its efforts to make Cochrane a more environmentally aware and active community.
The market runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Saturday, rain or shine, from the begining of June until the end of September.
The Cochrane Ranche Historic Site is located north of Highway 1A just west of downtown. The market takes place in the parking lot of the Ranche, a site that is ringed with mature poplar trees. The Town of Cochrane and the Ranche are popular destinations on Saturday mornings so we enjoy great attendance!
In 2008 the Cochrane Farmers' Market celebrated 10 years and we continue to grow, 2009 was our best year ever! We have loyal customers that visit our vendors each and every week. We're looking forward to another year of growth in 2010.

4 early symptoms that could be a warning sign of Parkinson's
Patrick Lewis and Alastair Noyce,
If you move around a lot during your sleep or lost your sense of smell it might be early signs of Parkinson's.
New insights into Parkinson's disease suggest that these might be the early signs of changes in the brain that means you are at greater risk of developing Parkinson's.
Research over the last 15 years has begun to shed light on some of the changes and symptoms that happen much earlier in the disease.

Do you move around a lot during your sleep? Or have you lost your sense of smell? New insights into Parkinson's disease suggest that these might be the early signs of changes in the brain that mean you are at greater risk of developing Parkinson's.
When people talk about Parkinson's disease, the image that most often comes to mind is of an elderly person who shakes and has trouble moving. And, in the later stages of Parkinson's, this is often true. Bradykinesia (a medical term for slowed movement) and tremor (the shaking that can be so prominent in Parkinson's) are two of the most important symptoms of the disease.

But research over the last 15 years has begun to shed light on some of the changes and symptoms that happen much earlier in the disease, sometimes long before the changes in movement that most people associate with Parkinson's. So what are these early warning signs that you might be at increased risk of developing Parkinson's? Here are four of the most common ones.
1. Loss of sense of smell

A common recollection by people who are diagnosed with Parkinson's is that they remember changes in their sense of smell several years before developing any tremor or other movement problems. But many people might not even recognise that their sense of smell is bad. It is only when tested that we see that up to 90% of people living with Parkinson's have lost their sense of smell.
2. Restless nights

There is a connection between changes in sleep patterns called rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behaviour disorder and the risk of developing Parkinson's. REM sleep behaviour disorder, or RBD for short, is more than simply experiencing a restless night. People with RBD act out their dreams, sometimes moving violently in their sleep, to the extent that they can even injure themselves, but with often no recollection of their actions.
RBD is rare and can only be diagnosed with a special sleep study, but most people who develop RBD will develop Parkinson's disease or a similar condition within a decade.
3. Constipation

Problems with digestion and bowel movements are a big problem for people with Parkinson's, and we now know that these problems can start long before the tremor and problems with movement that lead to someone being referred to a neurologist.
As for most of these early symptoms, people can develop constipation for lots of different reasons, but it is clear that people living with Parkinson's have problems with bowel movements. Constipation may, in fact, be one of the very earliest features, occurring up to 20 years before Parkinson's is diagnosed.
4. Anxiety and depression
Feeling anxious or depressed, above and beyond the normal ups and downs of daily life, is one of the biggest problems that people with Parkinson's report — sometimes noting it as even more of a problem than changes in movement. We think that this is due to changes in the balance of chemical activity in the brain and that these changes start up to ten years before people are diagnosed with Parkinson's.
It is important to remember that there lots of reasons why any one, or combination, of these changes might happen. And even if you have all of them, it does not mean that you will certainly develop Parkinson's. But there is good evidence that most people who are diagnosed with Parkinson's have experienced some or all of these.

· Hong Kong-listed diversified investment group commits to preserving and investing in the BIL brand, its employees and customer offering
· Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to retain its 9.993% shareholding in BIL
· BIL governance and management to remain unchanged; Luc Frieden to remain Chairman and Hugues Delcourt as CEO
· Under Precision Capital's stewardship, BIL has returned to national champion status and is in robust financial health, providing strong contribution to Luxembourg economy
Luxembourg and Hong Kong, 1 September 2017 - Legend Holdings Corp., a Hong Kong-listed diversified investment group, announced today the signing of an agreement with Precision Capital, a Luxembourg-based financial holding company, for the acquisition of Precision Capital's 89.936% stake in Banque Internationale à Luxembourg (BIL), a leading universal banking group headquartered in Luxembourg.
The proposed transaction remains subject to ECB/CSSF approval and that of other regulatory authorities. It also remains subject to Legend Holdings shareholder approval. The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg will retain its 9.993% ownership of BIL.
Legend Holdings, founded in 1984, is a leading diversified investment group. Its strategic investments focus on several major sectors including financial services, innovative consumer services, agriculture and food, and IT. As at 31 December 2016, the company had assets of €43.92 billion, annual revenues in excess of €40 billion and close to 70,000 employees worldwide.
The acquisition of 89.936% of BIL represents a long-term strategic investment for Legend Holdings. The company is committed to providing the financial and operational support to maintain and grow the BIL brand domestically and internationally, further enhance its customer offering and support existing management in the delivery of its strategy to achieve sustainable growth.

· Invest in BIL's people, support employment and provide international career opportunities
· Retain the current governance and management of the bank: Luc Frieden will remain BIL Chairman, while Hugues Delcourt will remain CEO
Precision Capital, along with the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, acquired BIL in 2012 at a time when the previous shareholder faced significant financial stress. Precision Capital and BIL have since overseen a turnaround of the bank following an in-depth strategic review, having made significant investments in the bank and its brand.
Since 2012, the management team has grown operating revenue by 20% to €505 million in 2016, while operating profit has risen 57% to €124 million. Over the same period, total assets have increased to €23 billion, total loans to customers are up by 27% to €12.2 billion and assets under management have grown by 30% to €37.7 billion. The bank's capital strength has been bolstered over this time, reaching a Common Equity Tier-1 ratio of 13.4% at end 2016 – up from 10% in 2012.
Commenting on the announcement, Liu Chuanzhi, Founder and Chairman of Legend Holdings, said: "This is an important and exciting strategic investment for Legend. Financial services is one of Legend Holdings' key target industries. BIL's asset scale, revenue and profit growth potential, and its business stability meet Legend's pillar assets criteria. It affirms Legend's target of investing in pillar assets.
"Legend Holdings has accumulated extensive experience in the financial services industry, and has achieved a solid performance in the sector over the past years. BIL is a well-run and respected universal banking group with strong roots in Luxembourg's history. We aim to preserve and enhance this status, supporting the bank and its existing management team in growing BIL from a national champion to a Luxembourg-based, international banking brand. We believe that as a long-term strategic shareholder, Legend can add value to the international business development opportunities and application of financial technology of the bank, and realize our mission of building great companies.
"We would like to thank Precision Capital, the Luxembourg State and the BIL management team for their support. We look forward to working closely with Luxembourg State and the bank in the years ahead."
Luc Frieden, Chairman of BIL, said: "Thanks to strategic measures taken since 2012 – with the support of Precision Capital, the Luxembourg State, our employees and our clients – BIL has successfully regained its status as a leading Luxembourg financial institution.
"We welcome our new shareholder, who has a proven track record of successful investment in a range of companies and have demonstrated great sensitivity to what makes BIL unique. We look forward to working with the Legend Holdings team to build on BIL's tradition of excellence that dates back to 1856 as a strong, stable and innovative Luxembourg universal bank. While clients and staff will experience full continuity, we will also have an opportunity to further strengthen BIL's exceptional place in the Luxembourg economy, while enhancing its European and international ambitions.
I am proud to chair this great Luxembourg bank as we prepare to write the next chapter in BIL's success story," Frieden added.
George Nasra, CEO of Precision Capital, said: "BIL has made tremendous progress in the past five years. The business is in great shape and boasts an exceptionally strong brand, supported by an experienced management team and over 2,000 committed employees in Luxembourg and abroad. Legend Holdings is the right partner for BIL as it moves into its next phase of its sustained growth and expansion."
The proposed transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2018, subject to approval from the European Central Bank, the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier and other relevant regulatory authorities. The acquisition entity is Beyond Leap Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Legend Holdings incorporated in Hong Kong.

5 Steps To Cut The Cord, Ditch Cable And Save Money
Contributor Group
May 8, 2019, 12:33pm EDT |
By Nancy Monson, Next Avenue Contributor
There have never been more great programs to watch on TV — and the bills to watch them have never been higher. So more and more Americans are getting fed up with their soaring cable bills and cutting the cord. They're finding it easier to do than in the past and no longer need to sacrifice viewing options to save money.
The trend is accelerating at a dizzying pace. According to the research firm eMarketer, 50 million Americans will be streaming TV via an Internet connection by 2021.
I made the switch last year to cut the cord and, after looking into this some more, have advice on how you might do it too.
Also on Forbes:
Tired of $300 Monthly Cable Bills
In my case, I'd gotten tired of paying $300 monthly cable bills and spending an aggravating hour on the phone with my cable company every time there were erroneous charges.
I wound up keeping my internet service ($45 a month with tax) and hooked up to Hulu Live through an Amazon Fire TV Stick for basic live TV channels. The Fire TV Stick is a device costing about $50 that looks like a flash drive and goes into your TV to watch streaming channels; it's similar to Google Chromecast and Roku. I also have pay for Netflix and Amazon Prime accounts, as well as a free Pluto TV account, which offers lots of movies and older TV shows. And now that "Game of Thrones" is back, I've added on a stand-alone HBO account on a month-to-month basis. That adds up to lot of content to watch.
"The flexibility of cord-cutting is what really shines over traditional cable TV," says Dennis Restauro, president of the consumer tech site . Cord cutting means there are no contracts or hidden fees and you don't have to haggle with a cable rep over packages. You can also cancel the services at any time with the push of a button.
"With cord-cutting, you can be more nomadic in trying different services, and you have more control over when and where you watch shows and movies," notes Jim Kimble, owner and founder of The Cord Cutting Report.
A Wall Street Journal story recently cited data from Kagan, S&P Global Market Intelligence noting that the average cable customer pays more than $90 a month plus another $57 a month for high-speed internet. Compare that to monthly streaming services from Amazon, Netflix and Hulu that tend to run between about $9 a month and $45 a month.
Pros and Cons of Cutting the Cord
But cutting the cord isn't quite as simple as advocates sometimes suggest. It takes some effort and thinking about your viewing preferences as well as wading through all of your options can be overwhelming.
First, you'll want to weigh the pros and cons of cutting the cord:
3 Pros of Cord Cutting
The cost savings can be significant. I'm typically saving $40 to $50 a month.
You get a Cloud DVR (rather than an actual physical DVR box). The Cloud DVR comes with many live TV subscriptions at no extra charge and lets you "tape" shows to watch at your convenience.
You can watch on your laptop, tablet or phone while traveling. When I'm on a train or plane or in a hotel room, I often watch shows over the streaming apps on the Hulu Live app I have on my Kindle Fire or iPhone (which are just like the ones I have on my TV at home).
3 Cons of Cord Cutting
It can be cumbersome to move between channels. For some reason, Hulu Live doesn't have an online TV guide, for instance. So you may need to consult a separate guide to see what's coming on next. (I use a TV Guide app.) It also takes a few steps to change from one platform like Hulu Live to Netflix, Amazon and other streaming services. "You may find cable TV easier to navigate," says Restauro, "but is that worth an additional $40 a month?"
You need a device like Roku or the Amazon Fire TV Stick to get streaming services. If you have a smart TV, which most TVs produced since 2009 are, you can stream many services directly from your television. However, you'll probably get better reception and less buffering if you stream from a device like Roku or Amazon Fire TV Stick, says Kimble.
There will likely be commercials you can't fast forward. Hulu Live politely indicates through an on-screen timer how long ad breaks will last, so you can run to the bathroom or kitchen.
5 Steps to Cutting the Cord
If you're convinced it's time to give streaming a try, follow these five steps:
1. Decide if you want to try an antenna first for live TV channels. "You can really cut your costs by getting an antenna to receive the major broadcast stations like ABC, CBS and NBC as well as PBS," says Kimble. "I live in Boston and with my antenna alone, I get 50 channels."
Kimble's research suggests that Antennas Direct's ClearStream Eclipse and Antop's Paper Thin Smartpass (they each sell for around $35 or $54) make the best indoor antennas for this purpose, although you may have to mount an outdoor antenna on your roof to acquire the signals. Visit Antenna Web to determine how likely an antenna is to work for you. If it won't, you'll need a streaming service (see Step 4 below).
2. Pick an Internet provider. This will usually be your cable provider. Plans vary in cost depending on the speed you select. They start around $25 a month.
3. Decide on a device you'll use to perform streaming through your TV. The main options are Roku, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Chromecast and Apple TV. The first three cost about the same (in the $50 vicinity), but Apple TV 4K runs a steep $179. A recent comparison by the Techradar site called The Apple and Amazon setups easiest, but said Roku was most intuitive.
4. Choose your streaming service for live TV. If you want more live TV options than you can get with an antenna, consider Hulu Live, DirectTV Now, Sling, You Tube TV or PlayStationVue. They typically cost between $15 and $45 a month. A new head-to-head comparison of most of these on Tom's Guide said PlayStation and Sling have the richest selection.
5. Select your apps. Amazon, Netflix, HBO, Showtime, Starz, Sundance Now, AMC and others offer a wide variety of original content. They all have apps and new ones are coming soon, such as Apple TV+ and Disney (which haven't released their prices yet).
Apple TV+ will feature original movies and series from luminaries like Steven Spielberg, Oprah and Jennifer Aniston. The Disney app will reclaim its content from Netflix and other services as well as offer new content.
The costs for the other apps vary widely: Netflix currently charges $8.99 a month for its base streaming plan, while premium channels like HBO run around $15 a month. You can often sign up for free seven-day trials to see how you like them before committing.
To Cut the Cord or Not to Cut the Cord
"I find that the biggest hurdle to cutting the cord tends to be fear of a new way of doing things," says Restauro. "Looking back, I laugh at how much I pondered the decision to cancel cable. It's not like the cable company wouldn't take me back if I didn't like cord cutting."
Personally, I won't deny that cord-cutting can be a bit of a head pounder, but I find it's been worth the effort. If nothing else, I no longer have to scroll through hundreds of channels only to discover I'd rather read a book!

Steam in China - August, September 2012
by Isao Kanda
Guangyuan (Rongshan Coal Mine) Prison Railway, Hanwang, Shibanxi, Tiefa, Fuxin
Guangyuan (Rongshan Coal Mine) Prison Railway, August 25-26
We arrived at the Rongshan station at 6:45. On the station, two of Type C2 locomotive was preparing the departure, numbers 211 and 219.
There are three stations (see map by "Zebedee", A=First station, B=Second station, C=Terminal station). Second station is prison station. A coal mine is in the prison. There are two fixed scheduled trains per day. Trains are either a passenger train or a mixed train of a passenger train and coal wagons.
219 hauled a passenger train at 7:40. At 14:00 a train was "top and tailed" by the two C2. Train stopped in front of the prison station, the locomotive which was at the rear returned to Rongshan light engine. Coal wagons were left at the prison station. Only the passenger train goes to the third station.
The next day. 211 and 219 were up and running same as the previous day. In the standard guage depot, SY 1434 was stored. Two type C2 and two of the mystery electric (or diesel) locomotives were also stored.
There are no prisoners here now. So maybe only a question of time for the area to be open.

I went by bus to Hanwangzhen from Mianzhu. This area suffered the devastating Sichuan earthquake. However, it has been left as ruins as a memorial. I got off the bus and saw a SY across the crossing in the distance. Time was 8:25. I walked to the crossing. At 8:45 the SY came again pulling wagons, it was SY 1194. A freight train running between the collapsed buildings was a strange sight.
I thought you will take a different shot. I followed the railway track towards the factory. The locomotive was just 500 meters from the factory entrance. Number of trains per day is like a little though. Locomotive did not move and then waited until 15:30.

Shibanxi Railway, August 29-30
I visited Shibanxi Railway. The line has progressed into tourism, but the splendor of this route is not changed. It has been done although with coal transportation is reduced. Passenger train was hauled by the loco No.9. The body has been painted green. After the initial set of passenger trains, transporting coal trains was one roundtrip at 7:30. Loco was No.8 of C2 marked with star on the front. Railway company is profitable, even if the development this area, there is no change, it remains a fun place.

Tiefa Coal Railway,September 2
I visited Tiefa Coal Railway. Lots of steam locomotive running around is a thing of the past. The only locomotive running was SY 1770, only one passenger train during the day. I tried driving the SY 1770. There is no need of a licence, to drive a steam locomotive is rare in the world.

Fuxin Coal Railway, September 3-5
The first day had been raining. Fly ash gets wet. I was not able to see the dust cloud from the fly ash tipping on any of the three days. Very bad weather and conditions. Running and moving locos were SY 0770, 1319, 1320, 1378, 1396 and 1460, six in all. Passenger trains seem to have finished.
My other movies will be uploaded to my Youtube account.

Industrial machinery like that on an assembly line can pose unique dangers to workers. In a safe workplace, employers have provided proper training, personal protective equipment, and reasonably safe machines to help prevent worker injuries. If an employer or product manufacturer is negligent, however, accidents can happen.
If you have injuries because of a defective conveyor belt or punching machine, the industrial machinery accident attorneys at the Law Firm of Aaron A. Herbert, P.C. can help you seek justice. Our lawyers understand product liability law and the Texas workers' compensation system. We can walk your family through the legal process. Start with a free consultation. Call (855) 655-HURT.
Do not attempt to negotiate your conveyor belt or punching machine accident case alone. Insurance companies will most likely try to convince you to settle for far less than your injuries are actually worth. If you do not speak to an attorney, you may fall for insurance claims adjuster tactics and prematurely settle your case. Fight for fair compensation with help from a lawyer.
In Texas, if a piece of equipment contains one of three types of defects, the injured party does not have to prove the manufacturer's negligence. The product manufacturer will be strictly liable for the injuries and damages its defective product caused. The injured person will only need to show that one of the defect types existed, and that the product caused injuries.
Design defect. A design defect means the machine has an inherent flaw in its design that makes it unreasonably dangerous for people to use. Designing a conveyor belt without a strong enough safety guard, for example, would be a defect.
Manufacturing defect. A manufacturing defect can be any accidental error made during the manufacture of heavy machinery that makes the product unsafe for use. For example, mistakenly using faulty electrical wires could lead to an unreasonably dangerous piece of equipment.
Marketing defect. Heavy machinery such as conveyor belts should include warning stickers, labels, and instructions to help prevent user injuries. A punching machine, for example, should have stickers warning workers not to place their limbs in between the moving pieces.
The main defect that causes conveyor belt and punching machine injuries is the lack of a proper machine guard. Equipment with moving parts should always have proper safety guards that prevent the machinery from sucking in workers' limbs. Lack of a safety guard, or a guard that has a defect, could lead to serious worker injuries.
A defective conveyor belt or punching machine could change an employee's life forever. Machine-related accidents and injuries could be permanently maiming or disabling, causing a lifetime of medical bills and lost quality of life. The type and nature of the injury will depend on the circumstances of the accident.
Every year, hundreds of workers in the U.S. suffer traumatic injuries from defective conveyor belts and punching machines. These injuries range from severe burns on a conveyor belt's roller to losing fingers in a punching machine crush accident. Not every worker survives his or her traumatic injuries. Although a lawsuit will not take back the tragedy that occurred, it can contribute to future financial stability in the aftermath of a serious accident.
Conveyor belts and punching machines do not always have to be dangerous. Negligence is the common factor most serious industrial machinery accidents share. If you believe a defective piece of equipment caused your injuries or a loved one's job-related death, contact an attorney at the Law Firm of Aaron A. Herbert, P.C. as soon as possible. Call (855) 655-HURT or contact us online for a free case review.

Bryn Reviews Recipe For Disaster!
16 Apr 2013 1 Comment
by childsplayaz in Uncategorized
Bryn with the cast of Recipe For Disaster.
One boy's dream almost crushed because of a silly argument. This young boy, better known as Apprentice, is trying to pass the "Big Test" in order to become a certified chef, just like his grandfather was. When he is introduced to this test, Headmaster runs himself into a humongous mistake; he chose two chefs instead of one! A competition between these two chefs, both wanting to become the "Chosen One," creates a recipe for disaster. Their little inputs become so immense that, in the end, the poor boy's dreams are almost ruined, until he has one more chance: dessert!
Bryn in the "green room" interviewing the cast!
Bryn interviewing Kate Haas and Jon Gentry.
David Dickinson and Ricky Araiza answer Bryn's questions.
In order to make this disastrous recipe a recipe for success, you must add the right ingredients! When I asked cast members Jon Gentry, David Dickinson, Kate Haas, and Ricky Araiza the unique question of "What ingredients make your recipe for success," I received very interesting answers. Kate Haas (Chef 1) told me that, in order to have a recipe for success, you have to have a sense of humor and good communication. Ricky Araiza (Apprentice) thought that having a supporting family and friends plus one main goal is the recipe. Jon Gentry (Headmaster) said that you got to have the money! The REAL recipe for success is all of those mixed together!
Bryn got a look at all of the props used in the show, including the most delicious prop – the pudding!
My curiosity always takes the best of me, so I asked them a question that would allow me to snoop inside their refrigerators. Asking them to name only three ingredients they would want most in their fridges provided much information to me, and helped me understand what mattered the most to them. Jon Gentry said that, no matter what, he needed pepper, cheese, and milk. Kate Haas gave me a similar answer composed of cheese, apples, and bread. David Dickinson (Chef 2) answered, saying that he needed eggs, bread, and peanut butter. Ricky Araiza went unique, saying hot sauce, cheese, and spinach. A very interesting combination, if you ask me.
Bryn discovering the magic of the set on her exclusive backstage tour!
The opposite of success is disaster, so I asked them, "What is your biggest disaster that has ever happened to you on stage?" David Dickinson told me that his biggest disaster ever was when he was going to perform at a school and he completely forgot his costume in the trunk of his car 30 miles away! Luckily, someone drove out to get it just in time. A completely different story, Jon Gentry told me that his disaster was when he dropped a glass fishbowl, causing it to shatter everywhere. He had some shards in his hands and knees, so when he walked he left bloodied footprints everywhere. He did say he was exaggerating just a little though! Ricky Araiza told me of the time that he got locked out of a car he had to take to a performance at a school and came an hour late. On the other hand, we have Kate Haas, who trips on stage, no matter what type of shoes she is wearing!
Once this play starts, you are instantly engulfed with laughter! It is such a riot that everyone from my grandfather down to my little brother enjoyed it. With such funny comedy in this show, it is a must see!


Last month I had the privilege to spend time at the USS Midway Museum, the longest-serving Navy aircraft carrier of the 20th century, now a Naval aviation museum in San Diego, CA. Along with Vice Chairman Mike McConnell, I traveled west to experience Legacy Week at Midway, a series of events held over Memorial Day weekend in remembrance of American military heroes and in celebration of our nation's military heritage. This year, Booz Allen was the presenting sponsor of Legacy Week as part of a year-long partnership between the firm and Midway in honor of Booz Allen's 100th anniversary and the USS Midway Museum's 10thanniversary.
In his opening remarks at the museum's May 24 Veterans Wreath Ceremony, Midway President & CEO Mac McLaughlin noted a confluence of anniversaries: Booz Allen Hamilton's 100th, Midway's 10th, and the upcoming 70th anniversary of the D-day landings in Normandy. Mac's remarks got me thinking about the many ties - personal and professional, old and new - that link our firm with the U.S. Navy.
Booz Allen's first assignment for the Navy dates to 1940 when our founding partner Edwin Booz helped then-Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox prepare for World War II. The Navy has been the firm's client ever since. But our connection to the Navy goes beyond office walls. Eleven years ago San Diego-based Principal Tim LaFleur, now a retired USN Vice Admiral, was Commander of Naval Surface Forces in San Diego. In this capacity LaFleur worked with Navy leadership and the city of San Diego to help create the Midway museum.
Booz Allen Vice Chairman Mike McConnell, former US Director of National Intelligence, and also a retired Vice Admiral, was recognized at the moving Veterans Wreath ceremony, which honored soldiers who have served in all branches of the military.
After the ceremony, a docent took the Booz Allen contingent on a tour of the Midway's Ready Rooms for naval aviators. The most poignant moment of the day involved Senior Vice President Steve Soules, new head of the firm's San Diego office. Steve was a Navy pilot, and several years ago he contributed to the Midway's E2 Ready Room in memory of his commanding officer, who died of cancer. It was an emotional occasion as Steve matched his wild boar "Hawg Check" squadron keychain to the one on the plaque in the Ready Room. Steve's name is also on the Greenie Board display that grades the execution of carrier landings.

Q: How many ways to pick four increasing numbers from 1 through 39? Say there's a bin of balls numbered 1 through 39, how many ways are there to pick 4 increasing numbers in a row?
First I figured that it would be a permutation without repetition problem, so I got that the number of ways of picking 4 different balls without considering increase is $$\frac{39!}{4!(39-4)!} = 82,250.999966$$
Then I thought I need to divide by some factor that changes the problem from any order to only increasing order which I thought might be 4!, so I got: $$\frac{82,250.999966}{4!} =  3,427.124998$$ and rounded down to get $3,427$. I'm terrible at these counting problems so I probably did this wrong. Can someone help me out please?

What are some of the terms to describe someone who cares a lot about the environment? Is there any term or how to describe someone who cares a lot about the environment, thinks that all the practices should be aimed to not harm the ecology, cares about issues such as social value, inequality, and climate change, etc. Thank you for your input!
Answers · 11
That sounds very broad, to me at least, but the words that come to mind would be: environmentalist, humanist, egalitarian (or feminist). An environmentalist is the person who cares about the environment and so forth. A humanist is a person that believes the principles of humanism (https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanism). An egalitarian is a person who believes in the equality of all people (The term feminist is also commonly used in this case but is not as broad and specifically refers to someone fighting for women rights). I hope this helps!
Usually you just say that the person is "an environmentalist". More colloquially, you could say that they are "green" in the sense that their politics are "green", which means ecologically aware in that sense.
I think "progressive" is the best word for somebody who cares broadly about all those issues.
I would say that they are environmentally conscious, interested in eco-friendly and sustainable things.
The first word that comes to mind is "tree-hugger" (擁抱樹的人). It is often used in an insulting way, but a lot of people who care about the environment have started to use it for themselves. The most neutral word for people who care about the environment is "environmentalist".

Q: Same query, different times What makes performance vary for the same query? My DB has just ~10 tables and no more than a few thousand rows.
Here's the query:

A: The engine is performing a SeqScan on contributors and I think that's unavoidable (unless I'm quite mistaken). However, it's also performing a SeqScan on dialogues and this can be prevented with a lateral join.
If the table dialogues has indexes on contributor_one_uuid and also on contributor_two_uuid the query can be rephrased. Hopefully this change can speed it up:
select
  c.first_name,
  c.last_name,
  c.user_id,
  c.photo_url,
  s.dialogues
from contributors c,
lateral (
  select (select count(*) from dialogues d where d.contributor_one_uuid = c.user_id)
       + (select count(*) from dialogues d where d.contributor_two_uuid = c.user_id)
    as dialogues
) s on true

I'm sure that there must be some good parts to Cyprus, but halfway through our September week there and we hadn't found it. Cyprus is hot, arid and underwhelming. In its favour they drive on the proper side of the road, the electricity is British three pin plug style, and at British strength. The pillar boxes and phone boxes are also from a British mould but yellow and green respectively. Unfortunately much of the plumbing is Greek. You can understand why a certain sort of brit loves to holiday and retire here as it is a sort of little England in the sun. You've got household names here like Marks & Spencer and Debenhams plus US fast food establishments like KFC, Starbucks and the ubiquitous MacDonald's. If you are a lager drinking Sun reader or a wine drinking Daily Mail reader you could live a 'normal' lifestyle here without ever having to subject yourself to "foreign muck" or be in danger of exposing yourself to any meaningful culture. Large proportions of the leather-skinned 'ex pats' seem to live in ghettos; reasonably specified ghettos admittedly, but ghettos all the same. Many of them will be the bigoted twats that will have criticised and felt threatened by immigrant communities when they lived in the UK. Personally I care not for isolationist ethnic communities wherever they exist. I understand why it happens and depending in which country you are in it can often be born out of necessity but segregation can never be right whether it be forced or voluntary. To get the most out of where you live you need to be part of a wider society.
Later on in the week we went up to Nicosia and crossed over to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. The Turkish part is stuck in time (early 1970s really) and quite charming as well as being somewhat dilapidated in parts. A certain rough around the edges charm. We had a wonderful lunch sitting under the trees between a mosque and a church.
I am assured that during the winter Cyprus greens up nicely, and I can quite believe it. No doubt during the winter it must be a reasonably pleasant place to be, but not so the rest of the year. If your idea of heaven is a hot dusty rock of an island, four and a half hours away by plane, where most of the buildings are boring concrete blocks and the beer is classically bland lager, then Cyprus could well be the place for you. As far as I'm concerned I have no plans to ever go there again.

Here's how the news media can repair its trust problem with Black Americans
LINK: mediaengagement.org ➚ | Posted by: Hanaa' Tameez | November 19, 2020
In 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson tasked the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, known as the Kerner Commission, with investigating the cause of "racial strife" in the United States following the Detroit riot in 1967.
Putting aside the fact that Johnson rejected the report and cancelled the meeting in which the commission would present it to him (this really shouldn't be put aside but I digress), the Kerner Commission Report found that the news media plays a huge role in sowing and perpetuating division between Americans.
From chapter 15 of the report:
The absence of Negro faces and activities from the media has an effect on white audiences as well as black. If what the white American reads in the newspapers or sees on television conditions his expectation of what is ordinary and normal in the larger society, he will neither understand nor accept the black American.
By failing to portray the Negro as a matter of routine and in the context of the total society, the news media have, we believe, contributed to the black-white schism in this country. When the white press does refer to Negroes and Negro problems it frequently does so as if Negroes were not a part of the audience. This is perhaps understandable in a system where whites edit and, to a large extent, write news. But such attitudes, in an area as sensitive and inflammatory as this, feed Negro alienation and intensify white prejudices.
In the 52 years since the report was published, the news media has largely failed to adopt its recommendations. That becomes even more evident today, as the Center for Media Engagement at the University of Texas, Austin published a study titled "News distrust among Black Americans is a fixable problem."
The Center surveyed 1,052 Black Americans and interviewed 27 about their perceptions of the news media's coverage of Black communities. The survey was conducted between August 1 and August 31, 2020.
We asked Black Americans how news organizations could better cover their communities to help bridge the divide between them and the media.
Our interviews revealed six strategies for journalists.

It found:
Journalists aren't trusted to cover Black communities: On average, respondents rated their trust in the media at a 3.2 on a scale of 1 (low trust) to 7 (high trust). In their answers, the concept of media bias came up 467 times. Black Americans trust journalists overall, but less so when they are covering Black communities. "For the local news, I kind of trust them. … [But] they're so quick to post negative stories about minorities," survey respondent Sarah from Louisiana said.
Coverage is stilted: Survey respondents thought that coverage of Black communities was often one-sided and devoid of context. Coverage of the Black Lives Matters protests over the summer often made them out to be violent, when they were actually largely peaceful. "They have been showing protestors as overly violent, when in actuality, it's the police that's actually starting to [aggravate] issues between them," Kole from Georgia said.
Expectations don't match reality: Survey respondents want the media to help the public understand racial injustice, but they don't see the news media doing that well.
The root of the solution, the report's authors say, is fixing issues in news coverage. "The more people perceived that the media did a good job of covering Black communities and the more they perceived that newsrooms are diverse, the more likely they were to trust the media," the report says. "Coverage perceptions mattered more than perceptions that newsrooms are diverse."
The Center suggests the following approaches:
Find Black Joy: Intentionally cover positive stories about Black people and communities, rather than focusing coverage on police brutality or protests.
Provide a more complete story: Develop more sources in Black communities and tell stories that include their points
of view, rather than overly rely on official government sources.
Diversify Blackness: Don't treat one neighborhood or community as "Black people." Instead, realize that Black people live throughout your coverage area and that their needs and beliefs are not all the same.
Explore your own unconscious biases: Think about the decisions you make about what stories to cover and how you cover those stories, even if it makes you uncomfortable.
Hire Black journalists: Make a real commitment to hiring diverse staff at all levels.
Connect with Black communities: Build trust by finding ways to make connections in Black communities before big news happens. Consider getting involved in local causes or community events.
Those ideas aren't all that different from what the Kerner Commission Report suggested in 1968. These recommendations are from an abridged version of the report by the Othering & Belonging Institute at the University of California, Berkeley:
Expand coverage of the Negro community and of race problems through permanent assignment of reporters familiar with urban and racial affairs, and through establishment of more and better links with the Negro community.
Integrate Negroes and Negro activities into all aspects of coverage and content, including newspaper articles and television programming. The news media must publish newspapers and produce programs that recognize the existence and activities of Negroes as a group within the community and as a part of the larger community.
Recruit more Negroes into journalism and broadcasting and promote those who are qualified to positions of significant responsibility. Recruitment should begin in high schools and continue through college; where necessary, aid for training should be provided.
Improve coordination with police in reporting riot news through advance planning, and cooperate with the police in the designation of police information officers, establishment of information centers, and development of mutually acceptable guidelines for riot reporting and the conduct of media personnel.
Accelerate efforts to ensure accurate and responsible reporting of spot and racial news, through adoption by all news gathering organizations of stringent internal staff guidelines.
Cooperate in the establishment of a privately organized and funded Institute of Urban Communications to train and educate journalists in urban affairs, recruit and train more Negro journalists, develop methods for improving police-press relations, review coverage of riots and racial issues, and support continuing research in the urban field.
While the news media has made some strides, the problems that Black Americans faced in the 1960s now also plague other communities of color and immigrant communities to varying extents, as Jon Funabiki noted for Renaissance Journalism. In the age of the internet, the news industry has the resources it needs to fix itself based on the recommendations from both reports. It just has to sustain the will.

Conspiracy theories seem to meet psychological needs and can be almost impossible to eradicate. One remedy: Keep them from taking root in the first place.
"It doesn't lend itself to a lot of different types of jokes but I'm so in the deep Reddit that at this point, the sadboi existential crisis jokes just come naturally."
The reasons we get fooled by political lies are less about the technology behind their production and more about the mental processes that lead us to trust or mistrust, accept or discount, embrace or ignore.

Mexican Mint Marigold
Mexican mint marigold is an ancient herb, which as held a variety of uses, from tea to chocolate.
Photo by Jim Long
Don't confuse French tarragon, which is used for cooking, with false or Russian tarragon!
You can grow Mexican mint marigold anywhere; especially in any average garden soil. Depending on your climate, you may grow it as a perennial or an annual.
This very ancient herb goes by a variety of common, but somewhat confusing names. "Mexican mint marigold" is the most common, but you'll also find it listed as Texas tarragon, Mexican' tarragon, cloud plant, coronilla, winter tarragon, sweet mace, sweet marigold and Spanish tarragon. It isn't, however, related to French tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus 'Sativa') at all.
Don't confuse French tarragon, which is used for cooking, with false or Russian tarragon, A. dracunculoides, because it is somewhat invasive, grows well in hotter climates, and is grown from seed.
The Latin name, Tagetes lucida, refers to its other Tagetes relatives, the marigolds. Mint marigold is a perennial, native to Central and South America and has been used as a seasoning herb, tea plant and medicinal in native cultures for more than a thousand years.
The flavor is anise-like, a bit sweeter than 'French' tarragon, but used in some of the same ways as that herb. Dried leaves are used in soups, sauces and main dishes. Unlike French tarragon, it doesn't retain its best flavor when dried, 'mint' marigold dries quite well. However, its best flavor is from the fresh leaves, chopped and used in dishes such as chicken salad, tossed green salads and even fresh pesto sauces over tacos.
Medicinal uses include treatment for upset stomach, for stimulating the appetite, as a diuretic and stimulating beverage. There are reports from various parts of Mexico and the southern United States of message-carrying long-distance runners using especially strong mint marigold tea to give them strength and stamina; the robust tea acting similar to the caffeine in strong coffee. Traditionally, the leaves were an important flavoring for chocolatl, the foamy, stimulating cocoa drink of the ancient Aztecs.
Mexican mint marigold does well in regions where French tarragon struggles. For example, French tarragon doesn't thrive in the hotter southern states. Even in the Missouri and Arkansas Ozarks, 'French' tarragon suffers with the heat, but Mexican mint marigold thrives in hot climates.
You can grow Mexican mint marigold in any average garden soil. Depending on your climate, you may grow it as a perennial or an annual. While Mexican mint marigold is said to be hardy in Zones 8 to 11, from my own experience it will grow easily in Zones 6 and 7, if mulched well in the fall. The plant expands into a small clump in the second year and can withstand temperatures as low as 5 degrees Fahrenheit, provided it has 6 to 12 inches of straw mulch piled on the plant after the first frost in the fall.
Sow the Mexican mint marigold seed in early spring indoors and transplant into the garden after danger of frost, or direct-sow in the garden; you can also grow it in a patio container. Seed germination takes 5 to 15 days. The plant requires all-day sunshine and will grow anywhere tomatoes, peppers or basil will grow. If grown as an annual, you will likely not see it flower since it requires a long growing season. (In my own garden, where we sometimes don't have a killing frost before the first of November, I have some early flowering). The plant reaches 15 to 20 inches in height and about as broad. It is somewhat drought tolerant, but you will get better growth and fuller plants by watering occasionally.
Begin harvesting leaves when the plant has reached about 12 inches in height, clipping sprigs or individual leaves for tea or seasoning. If the plant does flower, the small, bright yellow flowers are good additions to salads, as a garnish and for weavers; the flowers can produce a nice yellow dye.
Mexican mint marigold is an attractive plant in the landscape, as well. With shiny, dark green leaves, it works well with roses and perennials in border areas and requires little maintenance. The plant has no persistent insect pests (an occasional grasshopper will taste a leaf) and when in flower, butterflies visit. Otherwise it's trouble-free.
Try your favorite brownie recipe and add 3 tablespoons of freshly chopped Mexican mint marigold leaves. You may be surprised how well the herb blends with chocolate (or maybe not, since the ancient Aztecs regularly used it with their chocolatl drink).
Make a pleasant-tasting cup of tea by using 1 teaspoon of freshly chopped Mexican mint marigold leaves and pour 1 cup of boiling water over them in a cup. Cover the cup with a saucer to hold in the steam while the hot water extracts the flavor. Sweeten, or not, and enjoy the flavor of this ancient herb.

Call of Life
The biodiversity crisis currently unfolding on planet Earth could very well have serious implications for the human race, yet solutions for this crisis seem dishearteningly few. Call of Life, an exceptional documentary exploring the Sixth Great Extinction, examines not only the science behind the biodiversity and extinction crisis, but also touches on how the human psyche might, or might not, be capable of understanding the solutions.
Call of Life examines the myriad factors driving the Sixth Extinction. Destruction of habitats by expansion of cities, growth of agricultural areas, building of roads and mining for products deprive other species of basic means for survival, and are the most common causes; additionally, environmental pollution from agriculture and industry degrade water, air and soil quality. Species are introduced to fragile ecosystems and wreak havoc on unprepared and locally-adapted native species. Overexploitation of species for consumption, clothing, medicine and the pet trade place them at risk – especially those already compromised by habitat loss. Climate change has also caused many modern extinctions and will result in many more, as habitat temperatures change and sea levels rise. All of these factors are inexorably linked to the last and most important factor: human overpopulation.
The culmination of Call of Life delves into the first step toward a solution: the human species must care for our planet before meaningful changes will transpire. The film further posits that human consciousness may be insufficiently evolved to grasp the magnitude of the problem and, therefore, is unequipped to develop a realistic solution. Ultimately, the audience is urged to teach love for the planet in hopes that such love will lead to responsible action.
First steps in inspiring conservationist action absolutely include loving the planet and having an emotional connection to the earth. However, for individuals who already feel intense motivation to protect our rare planet, the film falls short of presenting rational, palpable steps given the problems. We need to reduce the human population. We need to preserve remaining natural habitats and systems on our planet and the biodiversity therein. We need to stop consuming natural resources, which means radical changes in our economies and consumer habits. This critique must be tempered by clemency, as statements of this magnitude are not taken lightly and could potentially alienate viewers who are new to the subject of extinction. Clearly, filmmakers wanting to reach a wide audience must tread lightly on such subjects.
Directed by Monte Thompson, Call of Life is a project of The Species Alliance, one of few organizations with a dedicated focus on the Sixth Great Extinction. The film boasts interviews with leading biodiversity scientists, including: noted paleoanthropologist Richard Leakey; conservation ecologist Stuart Pimm; biodiversity scientist Norman Myers; author and environmental activist Derek Jensen; biologist Paul Ehrlich; and ecologist Gretchen Daily, who eloquently states that it will be humans who ultimately dictate the course of all life on earth.
Cinematically, Call of Life offers something for everyone. Documentary video of both natural beauty and destruction illustrate the abundance of valuable information and statistics presented in interviews. Modern dance arrangements impart the emotional influence created by the earth's enormous loss of biodiversity. Humor graces the screen through the verbal exchange between a doctor and patient; in scenes reminiscent of Leave it to Beaver, a stark but amusing parallel is made between the patient's health and the health of the planet.
Despite the lack of tangible solutions, Call of Life is beautifully filmed, artistically structured and scientifically meticulous. The film comes highly recommended for everyone interested in a comprehensive education on the current state of biodiversity loss and the Sixth Great Extinction.
