Have you ever wanted to know how to make tamales? It's easier than you might think, especially when you use quality ingredients like HERDEZ® sauces and chiles. Today I am sharing TWO tamale recipes: Green Chile Easy Chicken Tamales and Red Pork Tamales.
We celebrate Las Posadas loosely in my family. We make food and visit and share stories but there is no formal pattern that we follow. There's a nativity scene, tamales, and capirotada but I think it is the distance that has made the celebration more of something that we do as we can get together, not according to a strict schedule. This is why tamales are such a common dish for us at this time of year. They're easy to heat and serve no matter what time of day family comes over. And who doesn't like to go home with a bag of fresh tamales after visiting grandma?
The first part of our tradition centers around making the tamales together. The family comes together, usually at my mom's house, and we make tamales, talk, share stories, and snack. The process is like a quilting bee in the kitchen! We set up a spread with all the supplies needed for making tamales – fresh prepared masa, pork and red chile, chicken and greem chile, spoons, soaked corn husks, and a large bowl to place the finished tamales in. Then everyone gathers around and makes tamales while talking and sharing.
The prep for tamales starts usually the night before. First we soak the corn husks in water to soften them. You can find dry corn husks at the local grocery store.
Be sure to wash them (sometimes they have bugs in them) and then soak them completely under water.
We put ours in a large pot and then weigh them down with a plate to keep them under water. The water softens the corns husks so they can be bent to wrap the tamale. Soak until pliable, at least an hour.
The tamales in both of these recipes get their incredible, authentic flavor from HERDEZ® sauces and traditional spices. We prepare these tamales in the traditional way – we used the crock pot to make the meat! Okay, so that's NOT traditional but you can get the same flavors with a lot less hassle by using a plugin crock cooker rather than a pot on the stove to cook the meat. Luckily, Xaver won a second crock pot in an auction at work yesterday so we were able to cook the meat for both types of tamales at the same time.
Our Chicken Tamales feature HERDEZ® Brand Salsa Verde, Mexico's favorite and America's No. 1 selling Salsa Verde. This salsa tastes great on its own, in guacamole, and in these tamales! You can start this recipe with frozen chicken breasts, like we did here. That makes it extra convenient to make!
The Pork Tamales feature HERDEZ® Brand Salsa Casera (house salsa), which gives the pork a rich, full flavor. These are my favorite tamales!
Check out the recipes below for the full directions on preparing the meat. Here you can see how we literally just poured the HERDEZ® Brand Salsa Verde right on top of the chicken, along with spices, onions, and garlic, before cooking it in the crock pot.
Serve both tamales with the same salsa spooned over top. My grandma likes to add a little shredded cheese too!
A delicious authentic chicken tamales recipe. These chicken tamales are so easy to make, you'll never buy tamales again!
Prepare all ingredients, except for the corn husks and masa, in a 6 quart slow cooker.
Cook the meat for 4 hours on HIGH until fork tender. Shred the meat with a fork.
Soak the corn husks in warm water to soften.
Flatten the corn husk against the palm of your hand.
Using a spoon, spread an even layer of masa, about 1/2″ thick, over the corn husk, covering about a 3″ x 6″ area.
Spoon the chicken filling into the center of the masa rectangle.
Roll the sides of the corn husk around the meat filling. Fold up the tapered end of the corn husks.
Place the tamales vertically into a stock pot with about 1/2″ of water in the bottom. Steam until the masa is semi-translucent on the edges.
Once you've cooked the meat, it's time to assemble the tamales.
After the tamales are made, they need to be steamed. The steam cooks the masa, which is essentially raw up until this point. It's important to steam the tamales, not boil them, and to make sure that you don't steam them too long or they will start to fall apart. You can get a tamale steamer but we just use a large pot. The tamale steamer has a basket that keeps the tamales vertical so that water does not seep inside the meat and masa. When using a pot, place a mug or bowl in the center of the pot to lean the tamales against so they will stay upright. You can even place a few tamales inside the mug or bowl to get even more in the pot.
Fill the pot with abut 2″ of water and steam on medium or low for about 30 minutes. The masa will darken and become a bit translucent at the edges. This is how you'll know the tamales are done. Take one out of the pot and remove the corn husk to check that the tamale as cooked completely before removing the pot from the heat.
Once cooked, allow the tamales to cool to room temperature before placing in zip top bags and putting in the fridge.
Our Las Posadas tradition starts with preparing the food, like these tamales. The second part of our Las Posadas tradition starts on the 16th and runs through Christmas. We set up a nativity scene and make sure the tree is all decked out. Then we visit with family and friends, going to each other's homes and sharing in great food, stories, and wishes about the new year. We talk about the story of Mary and Joseph and all the religious aspects of the holiday. As it gets closer to Christmas, we see more of the extended family; aunts, uncles, cousins, and more. It's not just family – we see friends too!
You better believe that even though we were at Disneyland, Elena asked me for tamales! LOL You don't have to celebrate Las Posadas at home only but honestly, the food is better when you cook it at home!
Now that Las Posadas is here, how are you going to celebrate?
Leave a comment and let me know. Not ready to make this recipe today? Pin it!
Nothing says Christmas like tamales! It took a few years, but my sister and I finally perfected the process that we learned from my dad and my grandma. The family gets together, and it's the entire experience that means the most.
I have always made green tamales using Herdez. It's bomb.
I LOVE tamales but Jacob doesn't and I always thought they were so hard to make. This made it look so easy I am going to try it for sure maybe next week so I can freeze them and have them anytime I want. Thanks for the amazing recipes!
I'd love to know how they come out!
I have a instant pot can this be achieved by using it? I love tamales.. never have I made any.but love them!!.
I think you'd have to do some adjusting – I don't have an Instant Pot but from what I read, you can probably do it!
My friend just shared this on FB and I am sooo excited. I love tamales, can't find any good ones locally, and thought they were too hard to make. I am looking forward to trying your recipe. Thank you so much for sharing.
I want to try to make them. But was wondering Can you freeze them?
Yeah, totally! Put them in a freezer bag once they are cool, get all the air out, and then put in the freezer.
when i order tamales at the Mexican Restaurant, they always come with a red "gravy" or some kind of sauce on them. What is that? Chili?
thanks for your easy to follow tutorial. I have my pork in the crockpot ready to try my first tamale attempt. Wish me luck!!
Do you buy the chili sauce in a can or do I make it from scratch. Do u have a recipe? I'm having trouble keeping my hubby out of the pork. Your recipe is so delicious!
LOL too funny! Okay you can use a can of chili beans if you like or chile rojo in a can. I'd add some extra spices and stuff to it. Or even the Herdez salsas or chiles I shared above – those would all work.
How many dozen does the meat mixtures yield?
It depends on how thick you make the tamales.
Do I freeze the tamales before or after I steam them?
It looks like you are NOT putting the red chili enchilada sauce in the crockpot while you are cooking the pork. Are you adding the red chili enchilada sauce to the COOKED pork after it comes out of the crockpot but before you start to assemble your tamales to make sure they are super juicy?
Wondering if water only goes in the cup in the steam pot like recipe shows or in the bottom of the whole pot? Please let me know as my daughter and I will be making this come December! Thanx for this recipe!
You can put a little water in the bottom of the pot to prevent sticking but you don't want much because it can make the tamales soggy. Let me know how they turn out!
My mom and I plan on trying these out next week! It will be our first attempt ever at tamales ? About how many tamales do you get from each kind of meat?
It depends on how thick you make the masa and how much meat you put in each tamale. Typically we get about 3 dozen tamales from one "batch".
So I'm cooking the chicken recipe. Do you shread it with the salsa liquid mix then assemble, or take chicken out and shread and assemble?
Yum! I love Tamales! Your recipe looks great. I learned to make Tamales after we moved to New Mexico. Last year I bought a Masa Spreader and it was the best thing ever! Makes spreading all that masa so much faster. I've never tried the premade salsas for tamales. They look good, I'll have to give them a try! Thanks for the recipe!
Sorry but how do you make or where do you get masa.
You can purchase the masa at regular grocery stores or a Mexican grocery if you have one nearby.
My tamales are steaming as I write this! Doing a trial batch using masa preparada. Keeping my fingers crossed…this is a big adventure for a "gringa" LOL… Thanks for your recipe!
Oh my gosh I can't wait to hear how they turn out!!

Guide to Selecting Buying and Owning A Franchise
Established in 1990 as a small beach restaurant on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, Wild Wing Cafe is now owned by private equity firm Axum Capital Partners and has 44 locations across nine states, mostly in the South and East.
Jennifer Siebenaler, Wild Wing Cafe's director of entertainment, is a musician herself who sings and plays piano and drums and has performed regularly at Wild Wing Cafe locations since she started her role in November 2017.
Wild Wing Cafe Reinstates Live Music at Corporate Restaurants

Wild Wing Cafe has reinstated live music at all 18 corporate restaurants while implementing COVID-19 safety precautions, such as limiting the number of performers and making sure musicians and customers wear masks unless singing, eating or drinking. A few of the brand's 26 franchise locations have also reinstated live music, depending on state regulations.
"Bringing back music, we wanted to keep musicians and customers safe, so we started small," said Jennifer Siebenaler, Wild Wing Cafe's director of entertainment. "We've been known for big bands, so it was taking a look at, how can we still throw a safe party with an acoustic person, someone just on guitar."
Siebenaler, a musician herself who sings and plays piano and drums, performed regularly at Wild Wing Cafe locations when she started her role in November 2017. "I ended up performing myself at the beginning of the pandemic, I wanted to show it can be done, you can still have a fun party with just a piano player who sings. It doesn't have to be a full six-piece band."
Timing was another consideration. Wild Wing Cafe is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, which instituted a 10 p.m. curfew for businesses recently to help curb the pandemic. Since most bands played within the 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. timeframe at Wild Wing Cafe pre-COVID, they had to adjust live music to start at 6 p.m. and end at 9 p.m.—smack dab in the middle of dinner. This was another reason to limit the number of performers, because "You can't have a full six-person band playing in a small restaurant, no one could hear and enjoy their dinner," Siebenaler said. "It was finding a balance and happy medium."
"Plus, a six-person band can't really be socially distanced, but with one or two people you can be farther apart, so no one feels the anxiety of people screaming or spitting when they sing," Siebenaler added. "It's about making sure everyone feels a sense of safety and security."
Wild Wing Cafe also dialed back the frequency of performances, picking Friday nights for live performances versus the 7-day music schedule some locations boasted pre-COVID.
Customers can pick live music or livestream
Established in 1990 as a small beach restaurant on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, Wild Wing Cafe is now owned by private equity firm Axum Capital Partners and has 44 locations across nine states, mostly in the South and East. Specializing in wings and signature sauces, the sports bar chain has featured live music since its inception and has provided musicians a stage to launch their careers. Edwin McCain, Zac Brown Band, Hootie & the Blowfish, Luke Combs, Andy Grammar, Hunter Price and other musicians have performed at a Wild Wing Cafe.
"This is our big little secret," said Sharyn Hooks, Wild Wing Cafe marketing director in a statement. "There are so many musicians that started out playing free concerts on our stages and graduated to playing in sold-out arenas 10 years later."
For Siebenaler, finding a way to continue featuring local artists in a live music format was crucial when COVID-19 hit—so she helped establish Friday Night Live in April 2020, where every Friday, a local band or singer performs on Wild Wing Cafe's official Facebook via livestream. Siebenaler herself performed on the platform, making sure to send artists food or a gift card to help support their families, because the musicians on Friday Night Lights were playing for free other than Venmo tips from audience members.
When restrictions lifted and they could have dine-in and live music again, Friday Night Live turned into Friday Night Lights at the restaurants—but if customers aren't comfortable with dine-in yet, they can still catch the former on Wild Wing Cafe's YouTube channel, which Siebenaler hosts.
Siebenaler is also helping open a new Wild Wing Cafe location near the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, complete with an indoor stage and outdoor stage and slated to open with a weekend of festivities and music on February 25.
"I live in the area and there's nothing else like it. It will make an awesome concert venue, and we'll have a large area for cornhole tournaments outside," Siebenaler said. "Musically it's going to be my baby. I'm planning on doing Monday nights with Jen, an open mic with featured artists I'll bring in and introduce, plus I'll be podcasting from there, making it an event venue and pushing live music."
Wild Wing Cafe opened two locations during COVID-19 and plans to open another four restaurants this year. The initial franchise fee for a Wild Wing Cafe is $50,000.

John Cuthber replied to Curious layman's topic in Science News
What might be considered "practical" would be the idea that, if we could work out which young people were going to continue in their medical careers for longest, we could focus training on them. But choosing sex as a proxy for that "career length" is discriminatory. Also, as has been pointed out, there's an aging population. That gives people longer careers. So the "time out" raising a family becomes less significant as a fraction of the whole career. Parents can return to medical practice after raising kids. So, the given "reason" for the biassed choice doesn't actually make sense. The only way that prejudicing the system against women can be made to look "sensible" is to distort the effects of an aging population.
Slavery was practical... As far as I can tell, the students pay the university.
I'm trying to get back to the topic; specifically the bit that you posted and which is missing. What did it say?
What did anyone delete? It's extraordinary for this site to delete stuff.
OK, let's try again. Now, given that StringJunky's comment "Confucius says: "Man with watch always knows the time. Man with two watches is never sure." wasn't made because he lacks the intellect to recognise that Confucius didn't have a watch, it can't be intellect shaming to comment on it. SJ's intellect was never in dispute here. So, perhaps, Allthechemist could ignore the bit that's explicitly OT, and address the other point which Swansont and I raised. It's not an issue of practicality.
No, it's attributed to Jesus, but it's a quote from Matthew. Chapter 4i
Not that I'm aware of. This is apparently his idea of an opening gambit. Two of us disputed it... The contention was made that the behaviour was simply "practical". and
I can see why you have an issue with It's not an "excuse", it's reality. It really was a pretty obvious (if poor) joke. Anyone who did any research and looked at my previous posts would see that my humour is often a bit obscure and/ or blunt. That's a dreadful misrepresentation. Gandhi would have used the proper plural; "fora". I may have underestimated your potential with respect to irony. No, it really is called irony.
I made a joke about a joke. What I am having trouble with is you not recognising that. Aha! You don't understand irony. OK, go + look it up. No, you plainly do not, or you would be able to make the distinction. My word! How did that happen? Could it be because someone ignored the meat of a post and decided to go on a crusade about a trivial joke about a joke?
What's that meant to mean?
The inconvenient truth about genetics
John Cuthber replied to DanielBoyd's topic in Genetics
That's two different things. Yes, people who talk about "a gene for whatever", unless they are using it as shorthand, or where "whatever" is a single protein are wrong. But, as I keep asking, if the "design" isn't in the genome, where is it? The link's indirect, but the genes really do make pretty much everything.
The OP's contention is And, for that to be true the information has to be stored somewhere else. Where is it? It's tautological to say it's in the proteins etc because the proteins are made according to the DNA blueprint. Some proteins fold themselves into vitally important configurations- they do that because the sequence - lain down in the DNA means that's the lowest energy state and they "fall" into it. Some proteins need accessory molecules to fold them. Well guess where the instructions for those accessories are... Saying "There needs to be protein (etc) infrastructure to read the DNA" is true, but irrelevant. I need eyes to read a book, but it doesn't make them part of the story. And once we have addressed this one we can go on to the second thing the OP said which isn't much better. (So called "reason 2" was a repeat of 1)
I'm still waiting for someone to answer my question. If the data's not in the DNA, where is it? (for extra credit, how is it encoded and transmitted to the next generation?) The OP claimed that

How long would they need to jail you for (in spite of your having done nothing wrong) before you came to respect them?
Not really. See above.
And, every time the cell reproduces, more of those proteins are made, following instructions coded in DNA. There might be a problem here for abiogenesis, but it's not a problem for evolution and, more importantly, it's not support for the OP's claim that there's not enough information stored in the genome. The red flag was posting lots of things that you can't show are true. Asking us to take them all on faith is equivalent to starting your own religion (regardless of what your intention may have been). You may like it, but it's wrong. As I said, you can watch a frog egg construct a frog without needing to search wiki for the instructions. If you say the information isn't in the DNA, you need to say why you think that, and you need to explain where you think it is.
Mizuno Seeks Replications
John Cuthber replied to nicke's topic in Modern and Theoretical Physics
I am reminded of the most telling question asked of Fleishman and Pons: "Why are you not dead?". They had no answer. If they really had nuclear fusion happening as they had claimed, the neutron flux would have killed them.
Is aluminum oxide combined with iron oxide reactive thermite?
John Cuthber replied to thermitequestion's topic in Inorganic Chemistry
No. Aluminium is capable of extracting oxygen from carbon dioxide (in much the same way that it removes the oxygen from iron oxide). "Is aluminum oxide combined with iron oxide reactive thermite?" No.
Is it onomatopoeic?
Please indicate the parts of the apparatus of the cell that are reproduced, but for which there is no corresponding DNA. Now, I accept that, for example, water is a major part of cells, and there's no DNA which (meaningfully) makes water, but it's also hard to see that as the "information" needed to make a cell.
You didn't. It's a quote glitch That's what authority is for. It's to save you the trouble of regurgitating all the stuff you learned during the course of training. It's so that when the doctor says "take these pills" you don't waste his time asking why.
Perhaps Jan Shyla was planning to add some later. It took me 14 hours or so to get round to it. Also, re. Well, that's what authority is for.

"Every athlete exercises self-control in all things," noted the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 9:25. The sportspersons among us can attest to this – regular training, proper nourishment, and good technique are mainstays of any athletic training programme, allowing them to build the right muscles and skill sets that enable optimal performance.
"But," Paul continues in 1 Corinthians 9:27, "I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified" – drawing a clear link between the physical discipline exercised by athletes, and the spiritual discipline that Jesus' disciples should exercise for their continued spiritual growth. What, then, are the factors that can help build our "spiritual muscles"?
The DISCIPLE Bible Study course is one such "spiritual training programme" that can do so. It takes the form of weekly study and discussion sessions, provides solid study materials for spiritual growth, and trains participants to read the Bible by themselves and apply its lessons to their lives.
Bishop Wilke later had the opportunity to develop the DISCIPLE material as part of a 'dream team' of 18 pastors, theologians, laypersons, Christian educators, Bible scholars, publishers, editors, and marketers. The programme spread quickly throughout The United Methodist Church in the USA, and soon reached Singapore's shores in 1991. Shortly after, Disciple Agency (DA) was set up by The Methodist Church in Singapore, and secured an agreement to develop DISCIPLE in Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
DA has since been instrumental in providing regional training in DISCIPLE, and translating the material into languages like Mandarin, Cantonese, and Bahasa Indonesia, which received special mention during DISCIPLE's 30th Anniversary celebrations at the World Methodist Conference in 2016.
What makes DISCIPLE Bible Study attractive as a discipleship programme for small groups? Firstly, it pioneered the use of video in Bible study – now a key feature in other programmes such as the Alpha Course. This enables small groups to "draw on the work of scholars to aid understanding of the Bible".
Invites persons to bring their experiences and struggles to Scripture.
Apart from providing DISCIPLE materials and training, DA also offers other programmes for continued spiritual formation of Christian disciples, such as the Companions in Christ series. Its mission, after all, is "to build the Body of Christ through the promotion and development of the DISCIPLE Bible Study materials and other related programmes".
What better way to do so than through this regular, nourishing, and rigorous programme of spiritual training?
Want to train up your "spiritual muscles" in order to "build the Body of Christ"? Enquire at your local Methodist church for their DISCIPLE course schedules, or contact Disciple Agency at 6478-4755.

Going virtual raises storage-management issues
What to think about when considering deploying storage virtualisation.
Jon Brodkin (Network World) 22 August, 2008 10:22
If you're an IT executive, chances are you're already thinking about storage virtualization. Nearly one-quarter of companies with at least 500 employees have deployed storage virtualization products already, and another 55 percent plan to do so within two years, a recent Gartner survey found.
Storage virtualization is an abstraction that presents servers and applications a view of storage that is different from that of actual physical storage, typically by aggregating multiple storage devices and allowing them to be managed in one administrative console.
The technology is emerging fast onto the enterprise scene for good reasons: In many cases, it can reduce the management burdens associated with storage; and offer better models for data-center migrations, backup and disaster recovery.
Enterasys Networks reaped these benefits recently when it moved a data center from Boston into its headquarters in Andover, Massachusetts.
"In days gone by, before storage virtualization, that might have been an all-day, if not an all-week kind of process," says Enterasys vice president of marketing Trent Waterhouse. "Because of the storage virtualization technologies, the entire move happened in less than 30 minutes."
There are still common pitfalls that storage administrators should ponder, as well as questions they should ask before they roll out a storage-virtualization project. Here's a look at some of the top issues.
Managing capacity
With storage virtualization, allocating storage is easy -- perhaps too easy.
"You have the ability to affect more systems in the whole forest if you do something," says Jonathan Smith, CEO of ITonCommand in Denver, Colo., who cautions fellow IT shops to pay close attention to both the storage and performance needs of each application. "You just didn't have that power before. Now all of a sudden you can do whatever you want."
Smith, who is using LeftHand Networks virtualization on HP storage, says an IT pro might see a lot of empty space in a given storage volume and be tempted to fill it up. Overusing a resource, however, can decrease performance if the storage is allocated to a database or some other I/O-intensive application.
"Make sure you size it correctly and really understand how much horsepower [your applications need]," Smith says.

A Genetic Link to Autism Found? Sceptical.
Okay, I'm playing the sceptic very strongly here.
Vathara told me about an article on Science Daily on Friday that claimed that they've found a definite genetic link to autism that doesn't involve Fragile-X (which is more linked to intellectual delay/disability than autism directly). According to the Science Daily article, and the abstract of the article it's taken from, it involves a mutation in the CHD8 gene that results in GI tract issues, insomnia, macrocephaly (large heads and wide-set eyes), and being on the autism spectrum. Okay.
Why am I sceptical? Read on.


I love the name of this wine from Kangaroo Island off Southern Australia and as the producers themselves say this is "a wine which is anything but a Wally - sophisticated, elegant and delicious". Of great provenance - the producer is Jacques Lurton, flying winemaker and owner of several other wine interests in his native France.
I don't automatically take the next vintage of the wines on my list; I make sure that the new vintage is as good as or better than the last. This wine never fails to delight and so here is the 2014 vintage. Very similar to the 2013 vintage which is still available, the wine is a lovely light gold in colour. This vintage has the usual richness though is currently more medium in body than full like the 2013; this will change as the wine develops further in bottle. And although it is slightly lighter, it still has a lovely silky texture.
This wine is produced from Semillon which, like Chardonnay, has an affinity to oak. As it is slightly more youthful the fruit aromas and flavours, lemon and apples, dominate but there are still the usual nutty and savoury notes plus the hints of spice and toast from the oak ageing. Again these nutty and spicy characteristics will intensify over the next couple of years. The richness is also developing and is beautifully balanced by tangy acidity. The usual fabulous Wally White with a mouth-watering freshness.

The artificial lower limbs of double-amputee Olympic hopeful Oscar Pistorius give him a clear and major advantage over his competition, taking 10 seconds or more off what his 400-meter race time would be if his prosthesis behaved like intact limbs.
That's the conclusion released to the public for the first time of human performance experts Peter Weyand of Southern Methodist University in Dallas and Matthew Bundle of the University of Wyoming.
The Weyand-Bundle conclusion is part of a written Point-Counterpoint style debate published online in the Journal of Applied Physiology on Nov. 19.
Weyand and Bundle were the first two authors of the study publishing the test results acquired as part of the legal appeal process undertaken after the governing body of Track and Field the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) banned Pistorius from able-bodied track competitions, including the Olympics.
In banning Pistorius, the IAAF had concluded on the basis of other data that Pistorius' J-shaped, artificial lower limbs, called "Cheetahs," gave him a competitive advantage over able-bodied competitors. But the ban subsequently was overturned on appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The case has been considered groundbreaking for the eligibility of disabled athletes and the regulation of prosthetic technology in sport. Pistorius hopes to qualify for the 2012 Olympics.
The newly released conclusion from Weyand and Bundle analyzes the scientific evidence and quantifies the competitive advantage provided by Pistorius' "Cheetah" limbs.
Weyand indicated: "Pistorius' sprinting mechanics are anomalous, advantageous and directly attributable to how much lighter and springier his artificial limbs are. The blades enhance sprint running speeds by 15-30 percent."
Below the knee, Pistorius' limbs weigh less than half as much as the limbs of an able-bodied male sprinter.
Bundle noted that most of the 15-30 percent speed advantage enjoyed by Pistorius is explained by how quickly the lightweight blades allow him to reposition his limbs: "Even in comparison to those male sprinters with the most extreme adaptations for speed in recorded human history, Oscar Pistorius has limb repositioning times that are literally off the charts. Usain Bolt is considered somewhat freakish because he outruns his opponents by 2-4 percent. At top speed, Oscar Pistorius repositions his limbs 15 percent more rapidly than six of the most recent world record holders in the 100 meter dash, including Usain Bolt."
In the aftermath of the IAAF eligibility controversy, both Weyand and Bundle agreed that the initial ban was not scientifically supported and that the May 2008 ruling of the CAS to overturn the ban was sound on the basis of the incomplete evidence considered. Pistorius' case was successfully presented by the law firm Dewey & LeBoeuf of New York.
"We are pleased to finally be able to go public with conclusions that the publishing process has required us to keep confidential until now. We recognized that the blades provide a major advantage as soon as we analyzed the critical data more than a year and a half ago," said Weyand and Bundle in a statement.
Speaking for both investigators, Weyand indicated: "We admire the unique athletic achievements of Oscar Pistorius and are grateful for his willingness to share these important results for the general benefit of athletes and athletics. We acknowledge Dr. Rodger Kram of the University of Colorado Boulder whose efforts were essential to publishing this analysis and an earlier manuscript cooperatively. We also wish to acknowledge the data and work of Dr. Peter Bruggeman and colleagues, which contributed to the comprehensiveness of these conclusions."
"Finally," Weyand said, "we also commend the recent, single-limb amputee work of our colleagues that we interpret to indicate that sprint running performance can be artificially enhanced for those individuals who have two artificial lower limbs, but not at present for those who have only one." For more information see www.smuresearch.com.
Hugh Herr of MIT and Kram were the senior authors of the different interpretation that appeared as part of the written Point-Counterpoint style debate in the Journal of Applied Physiology.
Weyand and Bundle based their conclusions on data indicating:
Pistorius' lightweight blades allow him to reposition his limbs 15.7 percent more rapidly than five of the most recent former world-record holders in the 100-meter dash.
The springy, lightweight blades allow Pistorius to attain the same sprinting speeds while applying 20 percent less ground force than intact-limb runners.
The springy blades reduce the muscle forces Pistorius requires for sprinting to less than half of intact-limb levels.

U.S. DoD's Energy Costs Projections for FY2015
Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:00	Katerina Oskarsson
According to Edward Thomas Morehouse Jr., principal deputy assistant secretary of defense for operational energy plans and programs, the U.S. Department of Defense estimates that it will use about 96 million barrels of fuel at a cost of nearly $15 billion in fiscal year 2015. DoD plans to invest $1.7 billion to improve how energy is used for military operations, and about $9 billion across the Five-year Defense Plan. The 92% of the investment will be used to enhance energy performance of weapons and military forces, and another 7% will be used to diversify and secure supplies of operational energy. Morehouse also highlighted the level of progress DoD has achieved in the realm of energy, stating "With energy and energy logistics now being incorporated into major war games, and as a mandatory performance parameter in our requirements development process,...understanding how energy affects our operations is becoming more deeply understood."

At first glance, it's a peculiar acronym with an asterisk fixed between vowels and consonants. But, peering deeper into the term reveals that O*NET is a powerful set of variables serving to describe job details, worker characteristics, and skill requirements.
Used by millions of individuals every year, and developed under the sponsorship of the U.S. Department of Labor, The Occupational Information Network (*NET) database contains hundreds of standardized and occupation-specific descriptors on almost 1,000 occupations covering the entire U.S. economy. Available to the public at no cost, this database is continually updated based on input from a broad set of workers in each occupation.
When new updates come out, developers and other customers are encouraged to incorporate these enhancements within their products, services, and research.
So, what's new in 2018? This year's release includes 158 technology skills and 45 tools related to 83 occupations. It includes 178 identifiable "hot technologies," and 215 alternative titles related to 98 occupations.


What makes a successful marketing company? Everyone would tell you it's all about sales. What they don't tell you is marketing's trade secrets. It's all about focus, service and customer care. This also works for business to business relations and transactions. Businesses now rely on other businesses for almost everything. From production to advertising to marketing and sales. It can be direct, through telemarketing or through outlets. Outsourcing is the prevalent business practice. You have the BPO sector that takes care of this. Most companies rely on b2b telemarketing not only for cost-effectiveness but reliability as well. The difference lies in their relationship to customers and clients. They have their eye on the ball so to speak. They view of every sale as a partnership to success not a mere customer. Always go for the b2b company who treats your business as if it was their own.

The Elite Illusion: Achievement Effects at Boston and New York Exam Schools
Atila Abdulkadiroglu

Talented students compete fiercely for seats at Boston and New York exam schools. These schools are characterized by high levels of peer achievement and a demanding curriculum tailored to each district's highest achievers. While exam school students do very well in school, the question of whether an exam school education adds value relative to a regular public education remains open. We estimate the causal effect of exam school attendance using a regression-discontinuity design, reporting both parametric and non- parametric estimates. The outcomes studied here include scores on state standardized achievement tests, PSAT and SAT participation and scores, and AP scores. Our estimates show little effect of exam school offers on most students' achievement. We use two-stage least squares to convert reduced form estimates of the effects of exam school offers into estimates of peer and tracking effects, arguing that these appear to be unimportant in this context. Finally, we explore the external validity of RD estimates, arguing that as best we can tell, there is little effect of an exam school education on achievement even for the highest-ability marginal applicants and for applicants to the right of admissions cutoffs. On the other hand, a Boston exam school education seems to have a modest effect on high school English scores for minority applicants. A small group of 9th grade applicants also appears to do better on SAT Reasoning. These localized gains notwithstanding, the intense competition for exam school seats does not appear to be justified by improved learning for a broad set of students.

Video shows suspected terrorists extradited from Jamaica to US
NBC News has obtained an exclusive video of the extradition of Islamic cleric Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal from Jamaica to the U.S. He is accused of using his public profile and personal network to recruit supporters and potential fighters from Islamic State, Manhattan prosecutors said Friday.
Abdullah al-Faisal, also known as Sheikh Faisal or Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal, pleaded not guilty in Manhattan State Court to five counts, including conspiracy and supporting terrorism.
He was extradited on Thursday with the help of the Justice Department. He had previously been imprisoned in Jamaica.
Al-Faisal, 56, had previously been convicted in the UK for crimes relating to incitement to murder and the use of hate speech to promote terrorist ideologies. In 2017, he was named a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist" by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the US Department of the Treasury.
Cheikh Abdullah al-Faisal.obtained by NBC News
Let our news meet your inbox. The news and the stories that matter, delivered on weekday mornings.
Al-Faisal was arrested almost three years ago as part of an investigation by the New York Police Bureau of Intelligence. According to his indictment, Faisal spread ISIS propaganda and explained how an undercover NYPD officer could travel to the Middle East in order to get to Syria and fight with ISIS.
The investigation into Faisal began in 2016, according to New York Police. Impeachment documents show that an undercover police officer flew with members of the NYPD Middle East Intelligence Bureau where al-Faisal allegedly provided contact information for a person based in Raqqa, Syria. This person subsequently began to set up a plan to bring the plainclothes police officer into the territory controlled by ISIS.
Prosecutors in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office told a judge on Friday that evidence obtained through a search warrant included communications with Germaine Lindsey, one of the July 7, 2005 suicide bombers in London; Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the 2009 "underwear bomber"; Faisal Shazad, who attempted to bomb Times Square in 2010; Khuram Butt, London Bridge forward of 2017; and several other high level terrorists.
"Al-Faisal told the court that he had held Osama bin Laden with 'great respect' but had 'lost his way' since September 11," the BBC reported in 2007.
Prosecutors allege that by legally accessing his email and cloud accounts, they discovered communications with many ISIS fighters, including high-ranking members of this terrorist organization.
"The way forward is not the ballot," al-Faisal said in an online speech in 2016. "The way forward is the ball. "
New York Police said they sought and obtained Justice Department approval to conduct the overseas investigation and, in August 2017, worked with Jamaican authorities to arrest al-Faisal.
"The indictment and arrest of Sheikh Faisal nearly three years ago has brought an end to the prolific and radical Islamic propaganda and terrorist recruitment alleged in this case – dealing a blow to the overall recruitment capacities of ISIS, "Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance said in a statement. statement Friday.
"Faisal has spent two decades inspiring terrorists behind plots and attacks in London, New York, and on airplanes," said NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea.
Al-Faisal will be held in jail pending trial, according to the Manhattan district attorney's office. He faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted.

14 teams, $45B in AUM: Top recruits of 2019
It's been an extraordinary year for mega recruiting moves.
First Republic lost a cohort of advisors managing $17 billion — breakaways that formed two new RIAs. While it was certainly the biggest this year and one of the largest ever, it wasn't the only one.
Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs each lost teams overseeing approximately $6 billion in client assets, with one going independent and the other to a wirehouse. Meanwhile, Raymond James and Stifel both picked billion-dollar teams from their larger rivals.
Scroll down to read more about where these and other teams moved.
First Republic loses $17B advisors
No bank, regardless of size, has ever watched anything close to $17 billion in clients assets walk out the door. Given that this misfortune befell a relatively small one, the blow — at first blush — appears especially severe for First Republic Bank.
Nearly 50 members of its wealth management division have left, following the five top advisors on their team. If it were classed as a breakaway, which typically refers to brokers who bust out of their wirehouse firms, it would be the largest in history.
Of the leading advisors, David Hou and Mark Sear have formed Evoke Wealth based in Los Angeles. Robert Skinner, Alan Zafran and Eric Harrison launched IEQ Capital in Palo Alto, California.
UBS hires $6.6B team from Goldman
A team bolted from Goldman Sachs to join UBS. Advisors Cullen Thomason and Hunter Henry, who managed $6.6 billion in client assets at Goldman will join UBS in its Dallas office in July.
Thomason and Henry had been with Goldman for their entire careers, having joined the firm in 1997 and 2001, respectively, according to FINRA BrokerCheck records.

$6B Morgan Stanley team goes indie
Americana Partners, led by advisor Jason Fertitta quit Morgan Stanley to go independent with an assist from Dynasty Financial Partners. The late-April mega departure represents a significant loss for Morgan Stanley, which has otherwise maintained low attrition levels since leaving the Broker Protocol in fall 2017.
Fertitta joined Morgan Stanley in 2008 after starting his career at Lehman Brothers. Other team members include Billy Busch, Robert Wellington, Sheldon Busch, Josh Caltrider, Johnathan Schnitzer and Ben Athens.
William Blair hires $3B team
William Blair recruited a seven-member, $3 billion team to open a new office in Baltimore.
The group consists of advisors Perry Bacon, Darcy Carroll, Robert Hopkins, Robert Oster, Hunter Purcell, Philip Rauch, Mitchell Whiteman and Jennifer Viglucci. They are all industry veterans: Whiteman has the least experience with 17 years in the business while Oster has the most with 46 years under his belt, according to FINRA BrokerCheck records.
The advisors made the move in part due to the company's culture and resources, according to a statement from Hopkins.
Stifel grabs $2.3B in advisors
Stifel landed a team that oversaw more than $2 billion, furthering the firm's expansion efforts. The four-person group from U.S. Bank is comprised of Scott Dolan, Jim Taylor, Tony Sausville and Mark Graham.
Also this year, Stifel recruited two teams from Merrill Lynch and Wells Fargo. Combined, they had client assets of more than $300 million while at their respective wirehouses.
Merrill Lynch loses $2.5B to Rockefeller Capital Management
Rockefeller's recruiting efforts landed them a batch of brokers from Merrill Lynch. The teams — the Higgins Hall Group and the Embleton Curtis Quackenbush Group — joined New York-based Rockefeller in Atlanta.
The seven-member Higgins Hall Group includes advisor Michael Hall. The team was previously part of Merrill Lynch's Private Banking & Investment Group, which caters to wealthy clients.
The eight-member Embleton Curtis Quackenbush Group is led by William Curtis, John Embleton, P. Schuyler Quackenbush Jr. and Evan Georgiou.
$3B departures from Wells Fargo to First Republic
First Republic picked up two teams overseeing more than $3 billion.
The gains came at the expense of Wells Fargo.
Peter Morimoto, Jon Jewitt and Roy Elliott Jr. joined First Republic's San Diego office as managing directors in January. Marena Tufenkjian also joined as a vice president and wealth manager.
Morimoto had been with Wells Fargo since 1998, according to FINRA BrokerCheck. Jewitt had previously worked as a senior investment strategist at the wirehouse, according to First Republic.
Elliot has 17 years of industry experience and worked at Morgan Stanley prior to joining Wells Fargo in 2004. Tufenkjian started her career at Wells Fargo in 2005, according to BrokerCheck.
First Republic's other new hires include advisors George Fuchs, David Schulman, Gregory Carafello and Chad Cohen. They joined the bank in New York. Fuchs and Schulman are industry veterans, with 21 and 22 years of experience, respectively. They had been registered with Wells Fargo since 2008, according to FINRA BrokerCheck records. They both have past work experience at Smith Barney and Dean Witter

Stifel nabs $1B Merrill Lynch team
Stifel opened a Fort Worth, Texas branch staffed by two former Merrill Lynch advisors who oversaw approximately $1 billion in combined client assets.
Advisors Toby Ardoyno started his career at Merrill Lynch in 1999, according to FINRA BrokerCheck. His colleague Toni Rose joined the wirehouse from Cetera in 2014. A third advisor, Blake Furgerson, made the move with the team, a Stifel spokesman confirmed. Furgerson has five years of industry experience, according to BrokerCheck.

Ex-HighTower RIA recruits $1.2B advisor from Fidelity
An advisor who oversaw $1.2 billion in client assets left Fidelity Investments for Verdence Capital, a $2 billion RIA with ambitious growth plans.
Meg Sheil-Puopolo joined Verdence in Baltimore, where she will serve high-net-worth clients and families.
Previously, Sheil-Puopolo had been with Fidelity for 18 years, having transitioned into financial planning after working as a molecular biologist.
Verdence is headquartered in Hunt Valley, Maryland.
$1B team defection from Wells Fargo big win for indie firm
A team responsible for $1 billion in client assets quit Wells Fargo to join a smaller rival, AdvicePeriod.
Jackie Lewis and Ryan Goldenhar joined the independent firm, which has more than two dozen advisors operating out of 13 offices.
Lewis and Goldenhar had worked at Wells Fargo's private bank as a financial advisor and investment strategist since 2004 and 2006, respectively, according to their LinkedIn profiles and BrokerCheck records. They cited AdvicePeriod's resources as a reason for the move, according to a statement.
$1B team returns to Morgan Stanley after 10 year UBS interlude
UBS lost two elite advisors to Morgan Stanley.
Jevin Ferguson and Daniel Marks now work at Morgan Stanley's office in Newport Beach, California. They oversaw approximately $1 billion, according to Forbes' best-in-state advisor ranking.
Ferguson and Marks have 18 and 19 years of industry experience, respectively, according to FINRA BrokerCheck records. They had been registered with UBS since 2009, having previously worked at Smith Barney.
Marks started his career at Morgan Stanley in 1999, according to BrokerCheck.
Raymond James poaches $1B team from Merrill
Raymond James picked up a Merrill Lynch team that managed roughly $1 billion in client assets and generated $3.6 million in annual revenue.
Raymond James has been aggressively recruiting for several years, including pushes into the West Coast and Northeast where it has traditionally had fewer advisors. The addition of Seyle Hickey Wealth Management, based in Allentown, Pennsylvania, further enlarges its footprint in the Northeast.
Advisors William "Rusty" Seyle and Tim Hickey spent 27 and 24 years, respectively, at Merrill, according to FINRA BrokerCheck records.

Rockefeller recruits $1B UBS team
Bruce Tenenbaum and Andy Lam opened a new wealth management office for Rockefeller in San Francisco where they will cater to ultrahigh-net-worth clients, according to the firm which has focused on poaching top talent from Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and UBS.
Tenenbaum had been with UBS since 2009, having previously worked at Goldman Sachs. Lam joined him at the wirehouse in 2014, having previously served as a financial analyst intern with Morgan Stanley.

Brasolândia is een plaats in de Braziliaanse gemeente Unaí in de deelstaat Minas Gerais.

Geschiedenis
In 1984 kwam er een nieuwe vestiging van emigranten uit Nederland te Unaí tot stand. Ten dele betreft dit familieleden en kennissen van emigranten die eerder in Paraná (Monte Alegre nabij Telêmaco Borba) hadden gewerkt. Hun vestiging die in 1949 was begonnen, werd in de jaren zeventig opgeheven doordat het contract met de cellulose-fabrikant Klabin afliep.

Afghanistan 'takes over' Kabul Bank
Central bank governor says his department will control troubled Kabul Bank "for the foreseeable future".
14 Sep 2010 14:54 GMT
The government said two directors of Kabul Bank have resigned in line with new financial regulations
A senior Afghanistan banking official says the central bank has taken control over Kabul Bank, the troubled lender facing allegations of corruption and mismanagement.
Abdul Qadir Fitrat, the central bank governor, said officials stepped in on Tuesday to take control of the country's biggest private financial institution "for the foreseeable future", because of suspected irregularities.
The Kabul Bank's two most senior directors now being investigated, he said.
He said that they have been forced to resign.
A brother of Mohammad Qasim Fahim, Afghanistan's first vice-president, is also under investigation, the governor said.
Afghanistan had previously frozen the assets of leading shareholders and borrowers at Kabul Bank, whose customers include about 250,000 state employees.
Corruption is one of the most common complaints from ordinary Afghans and Washington fears widespread corruption is boosting the Taliban-led armed campaign and complicating efforts to strengthen central government control so that US and other foreign troops can begin withdrawing.
Long queues of jittery customers have formed at the bank's branches since it became known in early September that two directors, who each own a 28 per cent stake in Kabul Bank, had quit.
