Eggplants grow bountifully throughout Greece, and this recipe is a fairly common one, especially in the islands. You can use eggplants by themselves or also prepare the dish with a mix of eggplant and zucchini.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush a baking sheet with olive oil.
Slice the eggplant the long way into slices that are about 1/4 inch thick.
Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper and place in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Drizzle olive oil into a frying pan and set the heat to medium.
Let the oil warm for about a minute and then add the onions. Saute them for 5 minutes, or until they get soft.
Stir in the tomatoes and oregano and cook for 2 minutes.
Spoon the tomato mixture over each eggplant slice.
Place the mixture in the oven and cook until the eggplant is soft. This should take about 30 minutes.
Sprinkle with the parsley just before serving.
** This recipe contains olive oil, which isn't permitted during strict fasting. If you adhere to a strict fast, omit the olive oil and using nonstick cooking spray in a nonstick pan to sauté, instead.

\section{Introduction}

It is well documented that consumers can acquire information
about goods not only on their own but also through their
personal contacts, or friends, acquaintances
\footnote{Due to \cite{stigler1961}, most studies on consumer
	search focus on acquisition of information by consumers on
	their own.  A pioneer study by \cite{katzlazarsfeld1955}
	show that consumers' personal contacts are a key reason why
	they buy goods. Later empirical studies back this point,
	e.g. \cite{godesmayzlin2004}, \cite{chenetal2011}.}
Information dissemination through friends via word-of-mouth
(WOM) communication is important due to recent technological
growth, such as developments of social websites, online
forums, and instant messengers.  Consumers can exchange
information with a greater number of friends as technology
progresses further.  Naturally, this puts forward a question,
how do markets respond to an increase in the number of
consumers' personal contacts?

Certainly, the answer to this question depends on many
characteristics of a market under consideration.  To illustrate
the relationship between consumers' number of friends and
prices, the existing literature considers the following
canonical environment. In a duopoly market, symmetric firms
produce homogeneous goods and compete in prices.  Consumers do
not know prices. They can acquire price quotes through costly
search or may receive such information from friends, who have
searched, for free. The existing literature shows that, if each
consumer accesses a price quote of a random seller for free,
prices converge to the sellers' marginal cost of production as
the number of consumers' friends increases
(\cite{galeotti2010}).  Yet, we show in this paper that if
consumers are not endowed with any free price quote, prices are
dispersed across sellers and the expected price is greater than
the production marginal cost even when the number consumers'
friends increases without limits.

The intuition behind our main result is as follows.  Sellers'
market power and the level of price dispersion are determined by
the share of consumers who only observe one price, also known as
\textit{locked-in} or \textit{captive} consumers
(e.g., \cite{shilony1977}, \cite{varian1980},
\cite{armstrongvickers2019}).  Since captive consumers cannot
``walk away'' to a competing seller, sellers' market power
increases with the share of captive consumers. Price dispersion
exists as long as the share of captive consumers does not vanish
or not all consumers become captive.  An increase in the number
of consumers' friends has two opposing impacts on the share of
captive consumers.  First is the direct competitive effect.
Search intensity of consumers being fixed, the share of captive
consumers falls with the number of friends because some of the
captive consumers now have friends from whom they can receive
another price quote.  This puts competitive pressure on firms.
There is also an indirect effect, which is anti-competitive.
The share of consumers, who search and acquire price quotes
through costly search, decreases with the number of
friends.  This is a standard free-riding effect. As information
on prices is a public good for consumers, an increase in the
number of personal contacts leads to a lower level of
information acquisition.  As a result less information diffuses
throughout consumers.  This leads to a higher share of captive
consumers and, thus, raises sellers' market power.

In an extreme case when the number of consumers' personal
contacts increases without bounds, the two effects discussed in
the previous paragraph interact in a way so that sellers retain
some market power.  The reason is that, if searching for prices
is costly, the share of consumers who search vanishes as the
number of consumers' friends gets very large.  Despite the fact
that \textit{almost} no consumer searches, very little amount of
price information is still obtained.  This information diffuses
throughout a very large number of consumers so that there is a
strictly positive share of captive consumers as well as that of
price-comparing consumers.  As a result, price dispersion
remains. Since sellers never price below the production marginal
cost, the presence of price dispersion means that the expected
price is higher than the production marginal cost.

Our result differs from that of \cite{galeotti2010} because, in
\cite{galeotti2010} each buyer knows a price quote of a firm
without searching.  This means that even if consumers do not
search, they may still compare prices because they receive price
information from friends.  Therefore, when the number of
consumers' friends gets very high so that buyers stop searching,
all consumers compare prices because, in addition to a free
price quote a consumer observes, each buyer almost certainly
receives one more price quote from friends.  If all
consumers compare prices, firms find it optimal to price at the
production marginal cost.

Our paper contributes to the growing literature on consumer
search and WOM, and the closest papers to ours are
\cite{atayevjanssen2019}, \cite{campbelletal2020}, and
\cite{galeotti2004}).   \cite{atayevjanssen2019},
which unlike the current paper studies sequential search
markets, shows that price dispersion persists when the number of
consumers' personal contacts links increases.
\cite{campbelletal2020} examines the relationship between
network structure of consumers' personal contacts and product
quality.  \cite{galeotti2004}, which is an earlier
version of \cite{galeotti2010}, employs the same model as that
in our current paper, but the author does not examine an impact
of an (unbounded) increase in the number of buyers' personal
contacts on market outcomes.

The rest of our paper is organized as follows.  In the next
section, we revisit \cite{galeotti2004} and examine the limiting
case when the number of consumers' friends increases without
bounds.  In Section \ref{s:link_form}, we show that our main
result holds even when forming a personal link is costly and,
thus, consumers have to strategically decide whether to form
links.  The final section concludes.

\section{Model and Analysis}\label{s:simultaneous}

In this section, we analyze a model of \cite{galeotti2004}.
There are two firms, or sellers, that produce homogeneous goods
at a marginal cost normalized to zero. The firms compete in
prices.  Let $F_j(p)$ represent the probability that firm $j$
charges a price that is not greater than $p$.

On the demand side, there is a countably infinite number of
consumers, normalized to one.  Each consumer demands a unit of
the good, which she evaluates at $v>0$. Prior to searching, a
consumer does not know prices and, to make a purchase, she must
learn at least one price quote.  To do that, a buyer can search
firms, which is costly.   Alternatively, a buyer can obtain
price information from her friends at no cost, given her friends
acquired price quotes themselves.  The cost of searching a firm
is given by $c>0$.  Search is simultaneous, meaning that a
consumer requests price quotes from $n\in \left\{0,1,2\right\}$
firms simultaneously (implying that when $n=0$ she just waits),
after which search is terminated.   Let $q_n$ be the probability
that a consumer samples $n$ price quotes:
$\sum_{n=0}^{2}q_n=1$.  Each consumer is assumed to have $k$
number of friends, or personal links, who may potentially inform
the consumer about prices, where $1\leq k < \infty$
\footnote{As the paper is concerned with information diffusion
	among consumers, an uninteresting case of $k=0$ is omitted,
	yet it can be easily incorporated.}

Timing of the game is as follows. First, firms simultaneously
set prices.  Second, without knowing prices, consumers choose
number of firms to search.  Third, after all consumers finish
their search, they share price information with their friends.
Consumers who learn at least a single price---either through own
search or from friend(s)---may make purchase.  We employ
Nash Equilibrium (NE) as a solution concept.

\cite{galeotti2004} shows that for sufficiently large $k$, there
exists a stable NE where consumers randomize between
searching one firm and not searching, i.e. $q_0, q_1>0$ and
$q_0+q_1=1$.  Letting $q \equiv q_1$ for the rest of the paper
so that $q_0=1-q$ and $\eta \equiv
\frac{\left(1-\frac{q}{2}\right)^{k+1} - (1-q)^{k+1}}{1 +
(1-q)^{k+1} - 2 \left(1-\frac{q}{2}\right)^{k+1}}$, we restate
the result in the following proposition.
\begin{proposition}[\cite{galeotti2004} Theorem 5.1]\label{prop:simul_eq}
	For any $v>0$ and $k\geq 1$, there exists
	$[\underline{c}(k),\overline{c}]\subset (0,v)$ such that for
	any $c \in 	[\underline{c}(k), \overline{c}]$ there
	exists a stable NE given by $(F(p), q)$ where
	\begin{equation}\label{eq:F_simul}
	F(p) = 1 - \eta \left(\frac{v}{p}-1\right), \ \mbox{with support} \
	\left[\frac{\eta}{1 +
		\eta}v,v\right],
	\end{equation}
	 and $q$ solves
	 \begin{equation}\label{eq:IC_simul}
	 c = (1-q)^k(v-E[p]) + \left(\left(1-\frac{q}{2}\right)^k -
	 (1-q)^k\right)\big(E[p] - E[\min\{p_1,p_2\}]\big).
	 \end{equation}
\end{proposition}

We refer to the appendix of \cite{galeotti2004} for the proof.
The intuition is as follows.  First, the author assumes that
buyers randomize between searching one firm and not searching.
Given this search strategy, he determines sellers' pricing
policies, which is given in \eqref{eq:F_simul}.  Note that, for
any strictly positive shares of searching consumers and
non-searching consumers, the price distribution is
non-degenerate, meaning that prices are dispersed.  Second, the
author verifies whether, given such dispersed prices and buyers'
number of friends, it is optimal for buyers randomize between
searching one firm and not searching.  He shows that this is
indeed the case if the search cost is not too high and not too
low.  Moreover, the authors shows that there exists either one
or two such equilibria, but only one of them is stable.

	\end{tikzpicture}
	\caption{Illustration of equilibria existence
	$v=1$, $k=1$, and $c_1 = 0.075$}
	\label{fig:equil_q1}
\end{figure}

To illustrate the main idea, we present Figure
\ref{fig:equil_q1}.  The horizontal axis represents the share of
consumers who search one firm, i.e., $q$, and the vertical axis
stands for the expected benefit as well as the cost of searching
a firm.  The solid curve represents the expected benefit of
searching and the dashed lines stand for different levels of the
search cost.  For instance, if the search cost is given by
$c_1$, the solid and the dashed lines intersect twice and each
intersection represents an NE.  Observe that an NE with $q \in
(0,1)$ exists for search costs smaller than $\overline{c}$.
However, a stable NE exists only if the search cost is between
$\underline{c}(k)$ and $\overline{c}$ (like in many models of
simultaneous consumer search such as \cite{burdettjudd1983},
\cite{fershtmanfishman1992}, \cite{janssenmoraga2004},
\cite{atayev2019a}).  To see that, suppose that the actual
search cost is given by $c_1$ so that there are two NEs.  Then,
only the NE which corresponds to the higher share of searching
consumers, i.e., higher $q$, is locally stable.  This is because
if the actual share of searching consumers is higher (lower)
than the equilibrium one, the expected benefit of searching is
lower (higher) than the cost of doing so.  Therefore, consumers
have incentive to search less (more) and the actual share of
searching consumers converges to the equilibrium one.  Applying
a similar argument, we can see that the NE that corresponds to
the lower share of searching consumers is unstable
\footnote{There always exists a stable equilibrium without
	search (see, \cite{galeotti2004}), known as Diamond paradox
	due to \cite{diamond1971}.  In this equilibrium, there is no
	trade.  However, we are not interested in this unrealistic
	equilibrium.}

Regarding the question of interest, we state the main result in
the next proposition.

\begin{proposition}\label{prop:simul}
	In a stable NE with $q \in (0,1)$, as $k\to \infty$ the
	lower bound of the search cost interval $\underline{c}(k)$
	converges to zero, the share of searching consumers
	approaches zero, while price dispersion remains and
	the expected price is higher than the production marginal cost.
\end{proposition}

The proof is in the appendix and the intuition is as follows.
As consumers have more friends who can potentially share price
information, buyers' incentive to acquire price quotes through
costly search falls.  In the limit when $k\to \infty$ the share
of searching consumers almost vanishes.  To understand why price
dispersion persists, we first note that the level of price
dispersion is given by $\eta$.  Observe that $\eta$ is a
ratio of captive consumers to that of price-comparing
consumers.  Thus, if $\eta$ either approaches zero or goes to
infinity, price dispersion disappears.  In the appendix, we show
that if $\eta \to 0$ or $\eta \to \infty$, the expected benefit
of searching, which is given by the right-hand side of
\eqref{eq:IC_simul}, converges to zero.  However, this violates
\eqref{eq:IC_simul} and, hence, cannot be the case.  Finally, as
firms do not price below the production marginal cost, the
presence of price dispersion means that the expected price is
higher than the marginal cost of production.

\section{Endogenous Link Formation}\label{s:link_form}

In reality, obtaining information via WOM is costly in a sense
that one has to spend time to request information from friends.
For instance, texting a message/writing an email to friends or
posting a question on an online forum requires some time.  At
the same time, the current state of technology allows us to send
the same message (or email) to a group of friends simultaneously
and any post on an online forum can be seen by all users of the
forum.  We address this issue in
this section.  Particularly, we assume that each consumer can
request price information from all her $k$ links by incurring
cost $l\geq 0$.  Link formation is a binary decision: either a
consumer forms $k$ links or does not form any links.  The link
is directed, meaning that if consumer $i$ forms a link with
consumer $j$, information flows from $j$ to $i$ only.  Let
$\omega$ be the probability that a consumer invests in forming
$k$ number of personal links. The rest of the model is the same
as that in the previous section.

Timing of the game is as follows.  First, firms simultaneously
set prices. Second, without knowing prices, consumers
simultaneously decide whether to form links and how many firms
to search.  After search is complete, price information (if any)
flows according to link formation. A consumer who observes at
least one price can make a purchase.  We  use Nash equilibrium
(NE) as a solution concept, and focus on symmetric equilibria.

To derive an equilibrium, we first suppose that all consumers
establish $k$ links.  Conditional on that assumption, we find
consumers' optimal search strategy and firms' optimal pricing
policy.  We know, however, that if all consumers establish $k$
links, in equilibrium consumers randomize between not searching
and searching one firm for $c \in [\underline{c}(k),
\overline{c}]$ and firms price according to \eqref{eq:F_simul}
(recall Proposition \ref{prop:simul_eq}).

Next, given these search and pricing strategies, we determine
conditions under which consumers indeed prefer establishing $k$
links.  It is easy to check that
a searching consumer prefers to form $k$ links if
\begin{equation}\label{eq:link_c1}
\left(1 - \left(1 - \frac{q}{2}\right)^k\right)(E[p]-E[\min\{p_1,p_2\}]) >l.
\end{equation}
Similarly, a non-searching consumer finds it worthwhile to form links if
\begin{equation}\label{eq:link_c2}
\left(1 - \left(1-q\right)^k\right)(v-E[p]) + \left(1 + (1-q)^k - 2 \left(1
- \frac{q}{2}\right)^k\right)(E[p]-E[\min\{p_1,p_2\}]) >l.
\end{equation}
In the appendix, we show that \eqref{eq:link_c2} is implied by
\eqref{eq:link_c1}.  The intuition is that, for a given $k$, the
probability that a searching consumer receives the second price
quote via WOM is lower than the probability that a non-searching
consumer receives any price information from friends.
Therefore, if a searching consumer who observes one price finds
it worthwhile to form links, a non-searching consumer who does
not observe any price definitely prefers to form links.  We show
that, in equilibrium, searching consumers certainly form links
if the cost of doing so is sufficiently small.  We state this
result in the following proposition.

\begin{proposition}\label{prop:simul_endo}
	For any $v>0$ and $k\geq 1$, there exists $[\underline{c}(k),
	\overline{c}] \subset(0,v)$ and $\overline{l}(k)>0$ such that for $c\in
	[\underline{c}(k), \overline{c}]$ and $l\leq \overline{l}(k)$, there exists
	a stable NE given by $\left(F(p), q,\omega \right)$, where
	$F(p)$ is given
	by \eqref{eq:F_simul}, $q$ is determined by \eqref{eq:IC_simul}, and
	$\omega =1$.

	Furthermore, as $k \to \infty$, $\overline{l}(k)$ remains
	strictly positive, the share of searching consumers
	converges to zero, and price dispersion persists with the
	expected price being higher than the production marginal
	cost.
\end{proposition}

The proof is in the appendix.  Notice that the equilibrium in
the proposition has similar characteristics as that in the
previous section.  The only
difference is the condition on $l$.  We can think of the model
in Section \ref{s:simultaneous} as a special case of the current
model where $l=0$ (and $k$ is fixed).  The reason why the
equilibrium exists for sufficiently small $l$ is
straightforward: if it was too costly to establish
links, consumers would not form any links.

For the limiting case of $k \to \infty$, the NE inherits the
properties of that in Proposition \ref{prop:simul}, namely price
dispersion remains and the firms retain some market power.  The
intuition behind it is similar to that in the previous section,
if consumers' incentive to form links does not decrease with
$k$.   Consumers' incentive to form links increases with $k$, as
the probability of obtaining price information via WOM
increases.  As a result, an increase in $k$ does not mitigate
consumers' incentive to form links and, hence, in the limit as
$k\to \infty$, prices are dispersed just like in the previous
section.

\section{Conclusion}\label{s:conclusion}

In the paper, we have revisited the role of costly information
acquisition by consumers and its dissemination among consumers
via WOM.  Specifically, we showed that, when the number of
consumers' personal links increases without limits, firms earn
positive profits and price dispersion persists if searching for
prices is costly.  Also the result holds even when we allow for
endogenous personal link formation.

We need to note that we considered a specific type of link
formation: a consumer either forms $k$ links or does not form
any links.  From a theoretical point, such modeling is
restrictive as it implicitly assumes the following type
of cost structure of link formation.  The cost of forming one
link is positive and that of forming additional links (up to $k$
number) is free.  However, the cost of forming a link in
addition to $k$ links is prohibitively high. A different way of
modeling link formation is to assume linear or convex cost of
link formation, which is common in the existing literature
(e.g., \cite{galeottigoyal2010}).  Yet this introduces
difficulties as, generically, a symmetric equilibrium does not
exist because searching consumers have less incentive to form
links than non-searching consumers.  As a result, undertaking
comparative static analysis becomes difficult. This is certainly
an area for future research.

Tubridy set to overtake Pat Kenny's Late Late record
Updated / Saturday, 24 Aug 2019 09:01
Ryan Tubridy: "I think if I get to midnight on the first show back that makes me the second longest-running presenter of The Late Late Show."
Ryan Tubridy has said it is humbling and "nice" to be the second longest-running presenter of The Late Late Show and joked how it is a record that probably only matters to him and "possibly my mother".
The 46-year-old presenter, who succeeded Pat Kenny as host of the long-running TV chat programme in 2009, will officially break the record when the show returns in September. Legendary broadcaster Gay Byrne remains the longest serving presenter with almost 37 years of Late Late Show duties under his belt.
Speaking to RTÉ Entertainment at the New Season Launch on Thursday, Tubridy said: "I think if I get to midnight on the first show back that makes me the second longest-running presenter of The Late Late Show, which is a record that matters to probably no one else but me, and possibly my mother.
"But it is nice to be honest with you...I'm loving it."
Tubridy testing out a possible new chair for The Late Late Show
When asked what changes are in store for the eagerly-awaited upcoming series, Tubridy said there will definitely be tweaks to the show, while teasing the possibility of a revamped chair.
"We're kind of tweaking and we're looking at the show and little elements of it to spruce it up a little bit. I think it could do with that little touch of love."
"The only difference you are going to see on the set if there is anything major is, which to me is major, is the chair."
Yee-haw! Tubridy might be playing Musical Chairs on the new series of The Late Late Show
"Keep an eye out for the chair on the show back because we've been putting an awful lot of effort into that."
"There will be tweaks about the place but I think the set suits me. It has that loft feel to it, it's fun, it's warm, so I'm going to stick with that," he added.

The late Peter Hochachka was best known as a world leader in the field of biochemical adaptation - `how molecules make organisms work best within their own specific environmental conditions' is the way that a Science review of one of his recent books described his research area. Perhaps because a major part of his work focused on defense adaptations against limiting oxygen (where he was the unchallenged world leader for some three decades), he recognized early on the implications for areas far beyond his own disciplinary boundaries. He facilitated important and stimulating back-and-forth interactions between pure and applied (mainly clinical) research fields and became one of the world's theoreticians on hypoxia defense mechanisms. Within his own university community, recognition of his awe-inspiring inter-disciplinary method led to cross appointments into the Division of Sports Medicine, the Department of Radiology, the Brain Research Center and the Prostate Center at Vancouver General Hospital. Indeed, he is probably the only scientist on earth to have written a seminal paper on the hypoxia connection in prostate cancer with co-authors that included surgeons involved in his own prostate cancer therapy! This is a quintessential example of the two-way communications between science and technology that Peter had the magic to facilitate.
I was one of many young undergraduates in the early 1970s who were weaned on Peter Hochachka and George Somero's first book `Strategies of Biochemical Adaptation'. Until reading that book, biochemistry to me was a dim and dismal affair, set in stone to memorize, in a whole host of unmemorable textbooks. Then came `Strategies', breathing life into a subject I had all but given up on. Suddenly, biochemistry became a dynamic subject: it was revealed how enzymes and their isoforms could be tailor-made to enable animals to cope with environmental extremes of temperature, pressure and oxygen availability. It also revealed how these enzymes could be differentially expressed in the course of one's lifetime as well as in an evolutionary time frame. These early insights in evolutionary adaptation provided a theoretical framework within which adaptational biology could grow and flourish. Hochachka's gift was to see connections that others could not, to seamlessly integrate seemingly unrelated areas into a cohesive whole. He was both theoretician and empiricist, whose stature in the scientific community is best witnessed by the breadth of those that read him. Clinicians read him to understand more about the cellular basis of renal failure, stroke and heart disease, researchers in sports medicine to see what sets the limits on elite performance, and zoologists to understand how biochemical adaptations arising through evolutionary history separate the tortoise from the hare.
Peter Hochachka's laboratory was guided by the August Krogh principle where for almost every problem there is an animal upon which it can be most conveniently studied. Over the years, various aspects of metabolic adaptation to limiting O2 availability were dutifully explored with marine invertebrates, hypoxia-tolerant fishes, diving turtles, marine mammals, especially the Antarctic Weddell seal, and humans, especially high-altitude-adapted natives. Various aspects of exercise adaptations were contemporaneously explored using fishes, seals, greyhounds, thoroughbreds, llamas, hummingbirds, rats, moles, shrews and humans. The Hochachka philosophy was to adapt technology to the problem rather than to apply a single kind of technology to a variety of animals.
The idea for this Review Volume arose out of a conversation I had with Peter Hochachka in the autumn of 2000. I had just read his 1999 review article entitled `The metabolic implications of intracellular circulation' (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 96, 12233-12239) and asked him if he felt it might be timely to produce a JEB Review Volume dedicated to this theme. He took up the challenge with his usual blend of good humour and unbridled enthusiasm. Within six months of that conversation, I received his `Mark 1' list of prospective authors and topics under the title `Roles of Intracellular Movement and Intracellular Structure in Metabolic Regulation'. By that time, we had also recruited our colleague Peter Lutz into the fray. With few exceptions, all of the people we initially contacted were quick to respond in the affirmative and if they did not they got a call from P.W.H. who pointed out the error of their ways! The range of authors and topics herein highlights the breadth and scope of Peter Hochachka and his vision of where the future lies in the study of metabolic regulation.

Orioles mentioned before opening day that this iteration of the roster had a looser mood for it, one where the players were free to be themselves.
After Saturday's postgame celebration, it's easy to believe.
Rookie manager Brandon Hyde helped guide Orioles to their first win and the first victory of his career on Saturday afternoon in New York.
After Orioles finished 5-3 victory over the Yanks, the importance of wine was not lost on the team.
Hyde came out to meet with the media and journalists tweeted that he seemed to be softening wet which smells like a bar.
Celebration of a great victory is about the only time in your life, they want to have beer dumped on them, so Hyde was of course a good sport about it all, even after being forced into a laundry trolley and rolled into showers.
It's a tradition in baseball, and it wasn't just the players involved. It looks like the end of the "shower" pitching coach Doug Brocail ends in the slope.
There will not be many victories to celebrate this season, so it is encouraging to see the team having fun and enjoying what is sure to be a year of many downs.
Also kudos to the players to bring Hyde into a room with drains first. I'm sure the clubhouse staff at Yankee Stadium appreciate it.
All in all, this is a good and fun party that highlights the companionship that this group already has with each other and their coaches. Hopefully this is the first of many victories in a long career in Baltimore.
Maybe next time they can find a way to celebrate their leader who doesn't waste so much beer.

Nov 6 EP: Do You - Pony
It can seem difficult to look at our darkest circumstances with a smile, which is why it's important and powerful that Pony takes the scariest and most downer of feelings and turns them into bright garage pop gems. There's an undeniable power when others open up and share their struggles and on Do You, Pony approaches the listeners with complete sincerity. Their previously released EP Crushed was all summer and sunshine, showcasing the rainbow-hued world that accompanies crushing, but Do You shines that colorful spirit into the darkest corners, providing just a beam of light for those of in the thick of it.
Opener, "I Don't Know" is Blink 182 meets Best Coast, a gunning punk soundtrack that rips through vocalist Sam Bielanski's desire to stop feeling sad, and the eternal unknown that seems to plague her. "Healthy Brain" drips with that same 90s punk nostalgia, but this time it's more emotional and raw, as Bielanski shares a wish to have a healthy brain and ditch the dark cloud that's seemingly looming overhead. Beachy, breezy strings tinged in fuzz are met with persistent percussion, leading listeners on a bounce along journey through the darkness - "I don't wanna look in the mirror/I don't wanna look at me/The reflection is what I fear," Bielanski cries. It's a relatable, catchy hook that steals your heart, and keeps you listening right into the subdued and memorable "Monster" that highlights confessions of remaining quiet just to avoid another fight and fearing it'll all fall to pieces. "Fingernails" is a shimmying surf rock ode to the hardest habit to quit, complete with returned vocals that are about the most darling thing you'll hear, and closer "Small Things" packages it all up, a defiant message of strength inspired by Buffy the Vampire Slayer that provides a final burst of fun, brimming in fuzz.
Do You glimmers in a way that harks back to all the best 90s teen dramas. It's the EP you know Marissa Cooper of The O.C. would have listened to during her poolside screaming session or that Rachel Leigh Cook aka Laney Boggs would have playing in her studio. Despite its vintage appeal there's a modern day message of hope with confessions of feeling at your worst, but still making it through, and that encouragement is so needed right now. When the days are gloomy and you can't imagine leaving bed or when you need the sweetest, quickest reminder that you're not alone, this is the soundtrack to reach for.

Q: Convert the html into image , and save it ?(use html2canvas.js) I have a big problem,
please help me !
This is my code :

<!DOCTYPE html>

test

  <button id="show_button">Show Image</button>

  //this is a problem
  download

If my viewpoint is correct .
To save image,the download need the correct file path and file name.
And i use the html2canvas.js , convert the target into image .
But when i want to save the image , i don't know the correct file path and file name.(Because the image is dynamic file ,not a static file?)
How can i get the correct value to save this image?
Thank you!

A: OK, I've discovered canvas2image.js that does what you need with this function
downloadPNG = function () {
  html2canvas(document.body, {
    onrendered: function (canvas) {
      Canvas2Image.saveAsPNG(canvas);
    }
  });
}

Here is a fiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/link2twenty/w8Lk3znf/

A: Use html2canvas it will convert html to canvas and use canvas2image packages to convert canvas to image (or) you can pass canvas data .toDataURL("image/png");
example:
var imagename = '<YOUR_IMAGE_NAME>';
var link = event.target;
var canvasData = '<YOUR_CANVAS_DATA>'.toDataURL("image/png");
downloadImageFormat(link, canvasData, imagename);
function downloadImageFormat(link, canvasData, imagename) {
    link.href = canvasData;
    link.download = imagename;
}

Here is fiddle demo

A: Just Use html2canvas library just include plugin and call method to convert HTML to Canvas then download as image PNG
        html2canvas(document.getElementById("image-wrap")).then(function(canvas) {
            var link = document.createElement("a");
            document.body.appendChild(link);
            link.download = "manpower_efficiency.jpg";
            link.href = canvas.toDataURL();
            link.target = '_blank';
            link.click();
        });

Early Vision More Complicated
As you read these words a frenzy of activity is taking place as the light entering your eye triggers a dizzying sequence of actions, ultimately causing a signal to be sent to your brain. In fact, even a mere single photon can be detected in your vision system. It all starts with a photon interacting with a light-sensitive chromophore molecule. The interaction causes the chromophore to change configuration and this, in turn, influences the large, trans-membrane rhodopsin protein to which the chromophore is attached. This is just the beginning of the cellular signal transduction cascade.
The chromophore photoisomerization is the beginning of a remarkable cascade that causes action potentials to be triggered in the optic nerve. In response to the chromophore photoisomerization, the rhodopsin causes the activation of hundreds of transducin molecules. These, in turn, cause the activation of cGMP phosphodiesterase (by removing its inhibitory subunit), an enzyme that degrades the cyclic nucleotide, cGMP.
A single photon can result in the activation of hundreds of transducins, leading to the degradation of hundreds of thousands of cGMP molecules. cGMP molecules serve to open non selective ion channels in the membrane, so reduction in cGMP concentration serves to close these channels. This means that millions of sodium ions per second are shut out of the cell, causing a voltage change across the membrane. This hyperpolarization of the cell membrane causes a reduction in the release of neurotransmitter, the chemical that interacts with the nearby nerve cell, in the synaptic region of the cell. This reduction in neurotransmitter release ultimately causes an action potential to arise in the nerve cell.
All this because a single photon entered into the fray. In short order, this light signal is converted into a structural signal, more structural signals, a chemical concentration signal, back to a structural signal, and then back to a chemical concentration signal leading to a voltage signal which then leads back to a chemical concentration signal. There is, of course, a wealth of yet more detail which makes the information conversion process far more complicated.
Cellular signal transduction design is modular. Its many steps can be modified, or interchanged with alternative steps to provide solutions in other applications, such as the olfactory system. Within the vision system one can, for instance, modify the chromophore's color sensitivity—its action spectrum—so different colors cause their own specific signals.
An example of this is found in the so-called third eye (parietal eye) which is found in a variety of species. This eye is not an image forming eye but rather provides for light sensitivity. This system includes two antagonistic light signaling pathways in the same cell. Blue light causes the hyperpolarizing response as described above, but green light causes a depolarizing response.
How is this done? By the inhibition of the cGMP phosphodiesterase enzyme. Specifically, there are two opsins, one that is sensitive to blue light which activates the cGMP phosphodiesterase enzyme, and another that is sensitive to green light which inhibits the cGMP phosphodiesterase enzyme. It appears that initially these are two separate pathways and they come together at the point of influencing the cGMP phosphodiesterase enzyme.
The molecular components of this fascinating design are elucidated in a 2006 paper. In addition to reporting on their findings of this unique design, the final paragraphs propose an evolutionary explanation for the design. Here the paper turns from empirically based science to unfounded, non scientific speculation. Not surprisingly their evolutionary story begins with the heavy-lifting already accomplished and, in Lamarckian fashion, improvements are implemented as needed:
A G_o-mediated phototransduction pathway might already be present in the ciliary photoreceptors of early coelomates, the last common ancestor of lizard (vertebrate) and scallop (mollusk), because both have this pathway. Later, the ancestral vertebrate photoreceptor acquired a second G protein, either gustducin or transducin, for chromatic antagonism and perhaps other purposes. The parietal photoreceptor evolved subsequently and retained these ancestral features.
One can hardly blame evolutionists for their smuggling in of Lamarckian terminology. It sounds better than the Darwinian just-add-water account which holds that random biological variation produced a phototransduction pathway, and then produced myriad new proteins, which fortunately just happened to include a second G protein, which fortunately just happened to ... well you know the story.

Interesting point...often Lamarckianism comes into evolutionary explanations...even tho' mostly they are those popularised...just seems to say that Darwinism is as empty as can be!
Ritchie February 24, 2010 at 7:07 AM
Cornelius -
I'm not sure I see what your point is exactly. For one thing, are you saying the people who wrote this paper do NOT accept Darwinian theory of evolution?
What other conclusions would you suggest they draw from their work?
@Ritchie: I think the following toward the end of this post makes things quite clear:
"In addition to reporting on their findings of this unique design, the final paragraphs propose an evolutionary explanation for the design. Here the paper turns from empirically based science to unfounded, non scientific speculation. Not surprisingly their evolutionary story begins with the heavy-lifting already accomplished"
Doublee February 24, 2010 at 8:14 AM
I understand Dr. Hunter's point exactly. He described an extremely complex signal transduction system that the scientists accept without question came about by Darwinian processes.
Where is the detailed analysis of what is actually required of a step-by-step evolutionary process to bring about this signal transduction system? I grant that such an analysis would no doubt require a gargantuan effort, but at the same time to accept that all this can actually be accomplished by the putative Darwinian mechansism is naive at best.
Am I making an argument from incredulity? In one sense, yes. But I would rather say that I am questioning the lack of legitimate skepticism that should accompany any evolutionary scenario that is accepted because it has "already been established" that the theory of evolution is true.
We who are skeptics do not accept that the theory of evolution is true. We (I) would like to see some kind of palusibility analysis as a minimum: the number of genetic changes required to effect a given new feature, a realistic assesment of what are the minimum selectable functions for each step toward that new feature (and how many genetic changes that entails), and given the known rates of mutation, the amount of time required for all these changes to take place.
Or more succintly, where is the heavy-lifing that is needed to justify an evolutionary scenario?

I, too, long ago noticed that "Darwinists" tend to be closet Lamarckians.
"Am I making an argument from incredulity? In one sense, yes."
Who cares? The flip-side of Dawkins' amusing "argument from incredulity" jibe is that he is actively advocating for credulity (selective, of course, and special-pleading) with respect to Darwinistic "explanations," that is, for a non-critical approach to the Just-So stories of which "Darwinists" are far too prone and far too fond.
All good "Darwinists" are (selectively) credulous -- which seems a rather odd stance for persons who hold themselves to be amongst the intellectual elite.
"... (selective, of course, and special-pleading [in nature]) ..."
Doublee -
"Am I making an argument from incredulity? In one sense, yes. But I would rather say that I am questioning the lack of legitimate skepticism that should accompany any evolutionary scenario that is accepted because it has "already been established" that the theory of evolution is true."
Okay, I see that. But at the same time, isn't that just saying "this paper hasn't provided a detailed analysis of what is actually required of a step-by-step evolutionary process to bring about this signal transduction system"?
Because I'm sure there are LOTS of papers in the world which don't contain this specific information.
Was it even the point of the paper?
RobertC February 24, 2010 at 12:20 PM
What would you accept as an alternative wording of the final paragraph?
"The designer inserted a related a G_o-mediated phototransduction pathway in the ciliary photoreceptors of early coelomates, the last common ancestor of lizard (vertebrate) and scallop (mollusk). The designer later inserted a second vertebrate photoreceptor-coupled G protein G protein, either gustducin in some lineages or transducin in others, for chromatic antagonism and perhaps other purposes. The redesigned parietal photoreceptor retained these ancestral features because the designer liked it that way."
Evolution is the best framework. The conservation of ancestral features is suggestive of this.
John I. February 24, 2010 at 1:06 PM
"Was it even the point of the paper?"
No, and consequently the unwarranted and unsupported speculation should've been left out.
"Evolution is the best framework." --Depends on what one means by evolution. Certianly neoDarwinian evolution is not the best framework, but most researchers have been too focussed on it to research potential other mechanisms for evolution.
Furthermore, if no mechanistic process for generation of the pathway can be found, then the alternative wording would be a possibility, given that it is logically and rationally more likely than not that one exists. It is no different, in principle, than an agent like me moving an inert spoon, or lab rats cutting up and reforming genetic material.
At the very least ID has forced the concept of information onto the agenda of biological research. Scientists have not yet begun to really plumb the significance of the information that lies within the genetic code.

"No, and consequently the unwarranted and unsupported speculation should've been left out."
But it isn't unwarranted or unsupported. It is a theory which is supported by a vast amount of evidence and it is therefore sensible to assume as a given.
Surely all Cornelius is done here is to show that a particular paper has simply assumed the truth of evolution - which is a point I doubt anyone will argue with. This appears to be true. But that is because it is a reasonable thing to do.
John I. February 25, 2010 at 7:03 AM
Even if one believes that Darwinian evolution is true, the last paragraph was speculative and did not propose any testable hypothesis for further research. It was pure blue skying.
It is evident from the geological record that biological life did increase in numbers and kinds and complexity over time. It is also evident that we share a great deal of DNA. It is also evident, however, that Darwinian evolution cannot account for this.
John -
I've not heard the term blue skying before. You learn something new every day. :)
As for your assertion, I am at a loss to see why you think Darwinian evolution cannot account for the increases in numbers and complexity of life. It accounts for it very elegantly.
Far more creatures are born than can survive to reproduce (since all creatures require certain limited resources). So general those individuals best suited for survival and reproduction will survive and reproduce - and they are the ones who pass along their 'winning' genes.
Where does this fail to account for life on Earth?

Vipin Sondhi steps down as Ashok Leyland MD-CEO
Our Bureau | Chennai, November 26 | Updated on: Nov 26, 2021
The board has requested Dheeraj Hinduja to step in as Executive Chairman with immediate effect
In a sudden development, leading truck and bus-maker Ashok Leyland has announced that its Managing Director & CEO, Vipin Sondhi, has resigned due to certain personal and family commitments.
Sondhi, who took charge in December 2019, will officially step down from the current post with effect from December 31.
"My decision is purely a personal one as I need to take care of my personal and family responsibilities, which have become a top priority," Sondhi said in a company communication.
The board has requested Dheeraj Hinduja to step in as Executive Chairman with immediate effect for business continuity and a seamless transition. The board will meet shortly to decide on the further course of action for identifying the next CEO and MD.
Sondhi's period was marked by Covid-related disruptions and the struggle for recovery from the impact of the pandemic.
"I would like to place on record Vipin's significant contribution in Ashok Leyland navigating the disruption caused by the Covid19 pandemic and seeding firm actions to pursue our Vision," said Chairman Dheeraj Hinduja.
The Hinduja flagship has lost market share in the Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles segment due to some structural shift in the intermediate commercial vehicle segment though it vows to regain the lost ground with new products.

How to make my website fit my business is an important question to answer.
The immediate answer to make my website fit my business is easy: just talk about your business.
Now, someone searching for "apples and peaches" will see your page in the search results; but, if they are searching for only "apples" or only "peaches" your webpage might still show up but in a lower position. The more topics that you add to the page (strawberries, peas, potatoes), the more difficult it becomes for Google to figure out what your webpage is about.
Here's how to make your website fit your business: make two lists – one for your products and one for your services.
Look at the product list and think about which product you want to promote on your website. Then, you can make a webpage for that product and only that product. On the other hand, if your business is very successful, look at a product that is not selling so well. Perhaps you want to make a webpage for that product and promote it on your website.
Then, repeat the process for the services you offer and you will answer the question "make my website fit my business".

Open Russian Festival of Animated Film
The Open Russian Festival of Animated Film (Russian: Откры́тый Росси́йский Фестива́ль Анимацио́нного Кино́) is an annual animation film festival held in Suzdal, Russia. It is the only festival devoted to professional appraisal of domestic Russian animation. The festival takes place in late winter or early spring (in 2007 it was on the first five days of March) and accepts only animated films from the Russian Federation and (after a 1999 referendum) from Belarus made in the last three years.
Alongside the in-contest and general film screenings, the festival organizes round-table talk sessions, press conferences, master classes and presentations.
The festival was first held in 1996 at a boarding house called "Birch Grove" near the town of Tarusa. Because of the extreme scarcity of Russian animation in the post-perestroika era, submissions from the last three years were accepted. Along with auteur films, commercial reels, video clips and television bumpers were allowed.
The prizes were handed out according to profession, and any member or guest of the festival was able to vote for their favourite film. The three leading winners were given wooden planks hewn by founder and president Aleksandr Tatarskiy and signed by their colleagues. In addition to the festival, the location offered fresh air, skiing, and nearby historic sites. The festival in general was noted for its laid-back nature and served as a gathering for animators who otherwise had few opportunities to see each other in an era after the break-up of Soyuzmultfilm. Andrey Khrzhanovskiy says that it was a partial replacement for the Soviet tradition of having yearly screenings and discussions of all films from all studios at the Cinematographer's Union (which was open to the best film critics of the country). The tradition stopped in the 1990s, leaving all studios (animation studios included) with no way to connect.
For the first number of years, the festival did not have an official name and was known simply as "Tarusoy" (Тарусой).
In 2002, the festival changed its location to Suzdal's tourist centre, where it is held to this day. The jury situation also changed, and since 2006 films have been judged by a panel of 33 respected Russian animation professionals representing many varied professions in the art. 2008 was the first festival held after the death of Aleksandr Tatarskiy, who had headed all the previous festivals. The artistic director in his place was Aleksandr Gerasimov.
Historically, the prizes have varied in different years; on some years the jury decided to not give out a Grand Prix and other years featured specific awards tailor-made to the films which were in the competition. In 2007, the prizes were: Grand Prix (also 2nd and 3rd place), Best Direction, Best Dramaturgy, Best Visuals, Best Animation, Best Sound, Best Student Film, Best Interstitial Animation and Best Film for Children.
Additionally, before 2009, the festival allowed internet users of Rambler Vision to see the films first and vote for their favourites. The Prize of Audience Sympathies was awarded at the closing ceremony.

Although the founding of Malaga is attributed to the Phoenicians, archaeological remains in various parts of the province indicate that prehistoric man had already left his mark on the area. Later on, the Carthaginians and Romans would come. The latter bestowed upon the city the status of a confederate city of Rome, a privilege enjoyed by only three cities in Andalusia. The Roman Theatre and Lex Flavia Malacitana, the remains of which were found in the 19th century, date back to this era, the 1st century AD.
Three centuries later the Christians arrived, and the Visigoths made their presence felt. Their might was definitively established in the 7th century. The Arabic invasion occurred in 711 and with it the capture of Malaga. During the time of the taifas (small Spanish kingdoms), Muslims from the kingdom of Granada established themselves in the city. From 1057 this had a positive effect on the city's growth, and was the period during which the Alcazaba (Citadel) was built. Five centuries after this, on the 18th of August 1487, Malaga surrendered to Castilian troops after a cruel battle in which Ferdinand the Catholic King acted without compromise in dealing to the Arabs. Any survivors were sold as slaves, or exiled. The void left by the Arabs was filled by Christians from all parts of the country.
The 17th century was a tragic time for the city. Added to the poor harvests, famine and epidemics were the huge floods in the years 1580, 1621 and 1661, and the earthquake of 1680 that damaged many buildings. Surprisingly, one that was saved was the Cathedral.
Malaga would not return to normality until well into the 18th century. This was a time of renewed commercial activity, largely thanks to business dealings with America. However, just as the city had recovered from the tragedies of the 17th century, it again suffered a harsh setback with the outbreak of yellow fever in 1803 and 1804. This set off another downward trend that the city would take years to recover from. There were also the effects of the French invasion, despite the achievements of the guerrilla resistance movements of Serranía and Axarquía. During the absolutist reign of Ferdinand VII, altercations never ceased between his followers and the liberals. The King's troops in Malaga arrested the liberal General Torrijos along with some of his companions. In December 1831, they were executed by firing squad on the beaches of Malaga. Years later a memorial obelisk was erected in their memory in the Plaza de la Merced (Square of Mercy).
Following the death of Ferdinand VII in 1833, the liberals took power and Malaga assumed an important role in the nation thanks to industrialisation. Iron and steel works and textile factories were established. The latter were instigated by the Larios and Heredia families. They jointly founded 'Industria Malagueña' in 1846, which made Malaga the second most important industrial centre in the country after Barcelona.
Malaga began the 20th century with an industrial crisis that had started at the end of the previous century with their inability to compete with Catalan industries, and the high price of coal. The agricultural sector was also in crisis due to the destruction of the vines by phylloxera (similar to green-fly). The economy deteriorated with the loss of Cuba, and commercial activity slowed. The situation did not change until the Primo de Rivera dictatorship (1923-1929). Agricultural prosperity had a positive influence on external commerce and industry. The economy once again suffered with the proclamation of the Republic. The working classes were constantly striking over conditions and increasing unemployment. The torching and sacking of religious institutions in 1931 were manifestations of this discontent.
After the military uprising on the 18th of July 1936, Malaga remained under Republican control until their defeat in February 1937. With the Civil War over, the arduous task of rebuilding the city began. Some industries began to recover, but true recovery began in the 1950s with the tourist explosion. This generated enormous economic activity, making public works possible. The service sector then developed, and it remains the basis of today's economy. By exploiting its sun and its beaches, Malaga has become one of the most important tourist destinations in Europe.

A demand-side platform (DSP) automates the buying of display, video, mobile, and search ads for you. DSPs use algorithms to group all the rates of various networks together on a single platform, and is the control center that allows you to buy media that's sold programmatically (which is the majority of digital advertising today).
In addition to providing controls to target advertising to specific audiences, a demand-side platform usually employs sophisticated algorithms to automate or augment the targeting so an advertiser can apply budgets more efficiently.
DSPs are tools that allow advertisers to buy programmatic advertising. When you combine these capabilities with data (eg. cookie data, CRM data, purchase data, etc), you get targeting.
You can keep this very high level, like showing ads to all of your site visitors, or go further by grouping together similar individuals for audience targeting. Depending on how deep your data goes, and how well integrated it is together, you're able to target much more granularly and serve more relevant ads to your audiences.
Looking to sell camping backpacks? Use a DSP to buy an audience that likes hiking and outdoor activities, and target them across the web.
Can't get your site visitors to click "buy"? Use a DSP to retarget window shoppers. A DSP moves these folks toward conversion by keeping track of them and displaying your retargeting ads to them as they visit other sites.
Trying to get your existing customers to check out your new offers? CRM retargeting uses your first-party data to target consumers already in your database. You know more about your audience than pretty much anyone else, so using your own data allows you to target smarter with a DSP.
The intersection of the use of DSPs and CRM retargeting allows for more effective targeting and more efficient conversion to sales.

Consciousness & Emotion
Agency, conscious choice, and selective perception
Ralph D. Ellis
| Clark Atlanta University
Natika Newton
| Nassau County Community College, NY
The papers in this volume of Consciousness & Emotion Book Series are organized around the theme of "enaction." Enactive emotional processes are not merely the recipients of information or the passive victims of input and learning. The organism first is engaged in an ongoing, complex pattern of self-organizational activity, for the purpose of maintaining a dynamical continuity of pattern across changes of subserving micro-constituents and environmental conditions, making use of multiple shunt mechanisms, feedback loops, and other complex dynamical features. Self-organizational structure is used to distinguish between action and mere reaction. Accordingly, the papers of this volume by leading students of emotion such as Jaak Panksepp, Luc Ciompi, Thomas Natsoulas, Farzaneh Pahlavan, Michela Balconi, Todd Lubart, Louise Sundararajan, Jordan Petersen and others address three main issues:
I. Emotional influences on perception and thought
II. Agency and choice
III. Agency and moral value

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Get Engaged in San Francisco
Written By Marc Hogan
| October 22, 2013 - 1:03 pm | Updated 8 years ago
Home » News » Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Get Engaged in San Francisco
Kanye West has already all but proposed to Kim Kardashian in song, but now the two have made their engagement official. "White Dress," a song from RZA's 2012 film The Man With the Iron Fists that's as goopy and inviting as Yeezus can be abrasive and harsh, described "the type of girl that probably deserve a new last name" and implied imagining a wedding on first sight. After much speculation, the couple is set to tie the knot for real.
As E! Online and Us Weekly report, citing their usual unnamed sources, 'Ye surprised the mother of their child, North West, on October 21 with a proposal at San Francisco's AT&T Park, home of the Giants baseball team. TMZ's sources say West blindfolded Kardashian before bringing her to the stadium, where a full orchestra was on hand to perform Lana Del Rey's The Great Gatsby ballad "Young and Beautiful," which Kardashian reportedly adores. Kardashian's family and friends were on hand, and West projected "PLEEEASE MARRY MEEE!!!" onto the stadium screen for all to see. (Label Def Jam Recordings has already congratulated the couple.)
West and Kardashian welcomed their baby on June 15 of this year. West will be getting married for the first time, while Kardashian will be getting married for the third time. West's Yeezus tour comes to San Jose, California, tonight (October 22). No details yet on the wedding plans.

Woody's - This American cafe offers hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken, grilled cheeses, and seafood. The staff is always quick, courteous, and personable. The food is served hot off the grill. It's a good place for a cheap ($5-7 per meal with drinks) and filling lunch or dinner. Our favorites are the grilled chicken sandwiches and grilled cheeses. They have Diet Mountain Dew.
Bojangles - Bojangles seem to be hit or miss with their quality, but when they're hit, they're great, and the Bojangles in Morehead is one of the best I've been to. The service is always friendly and helpful, and the food is always fresh, and they have Diet Mountain Dew.
Molly's - Located behind a Doubletree hotel and featuring a seating area on a pier extending a short ways toward the ocean, Molly's Beer & Burgers is a good place to wind down after a day at the beach. If you choose to eat on the pier, beware of overly-aggressive seagulls and a strong breeze that might try to blow your food away. Eric said his shrimp ($18 for a pound) were the best he's had in the area (my professor said the vast majority of shrimp in Beaufort is imported), and paired them with a Sam Adams. Our friend Steven had no complaints about his BBQ chicken tenders (of which I indulged a few) and enjoyed the chips (I thought they were a bit stale). I was pleased with my Nathan's beef hotdog.
Captain's Table - Located in Morehead, this is your typical breakfast diner in the style of Waffle House, but with seafood. It offers a decent meal with average taste and average prices. It's otherwise unremarkable.
Roland's BBQ - We found the food bland and unsatisfying, although our bias against Eastern North Carolina "BBQ" might be to blame. Their hush puppies are decent. They offer Diet Mountain Dew.
Clawson's - Located on Main Street, Clawson's period-style decorations make for a nice atmosphere. Their flagship offering is their dirigibles, which are large potatoes stuffed with fillings (like cheese and meat) of your choice. Their clam chowder, which is made using local clams, is reputed to be delicious by my classmates, although I've never had it. My turkey club with chips was above average compared to similar restaurants. Expect to pay upwards of $10-15 per person.
Blackbeard's - Blackbeard's is a good place to grab oysters. Their other offerings are average or above-average for similar-caliber restaurants. I had their ham and cheese, and Eric had their bleu cheese burger.
Sanitary Seafood Market - While Sanitary has a good view and an interesting history, we can't really recommend their food. Eric said his popcorn shrimp were on par with those from the Walmart freezer aisle. Their chicken tenders come in awful seafood breading and are hardly edible, all the worse because they don't have honey mustard to disguise the flavor. I really liked their hush puppies in butter, though.
