OK, I have to admit I am not a huge fan of fish. However, it is a nice change every now and again. With fish, I normally just grill it plain or add a little Lemon Pepper seasoning. On the other hand I love shrimp and other shellfish. So, here are my favorite recipes in the seafood category……..looks like lots of shrimp!

SLE and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome as risk factors for acute coronary syndrome in young patients
Scott Cunningham, MD, PhD | March 29, 2022
Although traditional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors for ACS have been established for patients < 40 and > 40 years of age, the effect of secondary diagnoses with SLE and APLS on CV risk, if any, is not known.
The National Inpatient Sample database (2016-2018) served as the source for data in this study. Eligible patients were adults who were hospitalized due to ACS as the primary diagnosis, with or without SLE or APLS as a secondary diagnosis. The patients were grouped according to age as follows: < 40 years; and > 40 years. The primary outcome was ACS.
Results and Conclusions
Based on the National Inpatient Sample database (2016-2018), a total of 55,050 and 1,966,234 patients < 40 and > 40 years of age, respectively, were hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of ACS.
Both groups of patients had traditional CV risk factors for ACS. Among the patients < 40 years of age, SLE (OR = 2.18) and APLS (OR = 2.18) were strong risk factors for ACS. Among the patients > 40 years of age, secondary diagnoses with SLE or APLS were not independently associated with risk for ACS.
Consider the findings from a similar research study:
Patients hospitalized for ACS with co-existing systemic sclerosis had increased inpatient mortality compared to patients without systemic sclerosis (Source).

The Salvo Law Firm has a national practice devoted to the defense of debt collectors, debt buyers and collection attorneys who are sued pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA"), the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA"). We have handled literally thousands of single-plaintiff matters and class actions in federal courts nationwide.
Some matters are quickly settled — usually at lower settlements than our clients were used to achieving with other FDCPA defense attorneys. Or, if our clients do not wish to settle, we put on a vigorous defense. Plaintiffs' counsels take us seriously — they know we are not afraid of battling it out in the courtroom!
In addition, to help prevent FDCPA litigation, we assist our clients in FDCPA compliance by drafting or reviewing collection letters, telephone scripts and training materials.
The head of our FDCPA Defense practice is the founding partner, Cindy D. Salvo. Ms. Salvo has earned a national reputation as a preeminent authority on the FDCPA. She was chosen by the New Jersey State Bar Association ("NJSBA") to be its "on camera instructor" for a new FDCPA webinar series. In addition, she is the author of the FDCPA Defense section of the NJSBA's 2014 treatise, "Collection Practice in New Jersey." Ms. Salvo is a frequent lecturer on the FDCPA for the National Business Institute's Continuing Legal Education series. Ms. Salvo's articles on the FDCPA have appeared in numerous publications including Collection Advisor and the New York Law Journal.
The firm is a member of ACA International, an international trade organization of credit and collection companies.
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA" or the "Act") was enacted to prohibit, among other things, autodialed and/or pre-recorded telephone calls to cellular telephone numbers. The Act allows individuals to file lawsuits on behalf of themselves individually, or class actions, to collect damages for having received these unwanted telephone calls. If successful, a Plaintiff may be entitled to a remedy of $500 to $1,500 for each telephone call received. In most cases, the numbers of calls are in the hundreds or thousands and in some class actions, the number of calls can even be in the millions.
The Salvo Law Firm has defended both individual and class action matters in federal courts nationwide. Some matters are quickly settled while others are vigorously defended. Our firm has successfully defended TCPA actions by litigating various aspects of the Act. For instance, the Plaintiff may have had a contract with the original creditor whereby he/she agreed to an arbitration provision or a class-action waiver provision, and we may be able to get the case dismissed at an early stage. In other cases, we have litigated the issues of whether our clients' dialers are Automatic Telephone Dialing Systems ("ATDS") as defined under the TCPA; whether the consumer had provided his/her consent to be contacted using an ATDS; and whether the calls were placed willingly or knowingly – which provides for treble damages under the Act.
Since many of these TCPA actions are filed on a class-wide basis, The Salvo Law Firm has defended these actions by opposing class certification. In particular, class action cases require that class-wide issues predominate over individual issues. In some cases, Courts have denied class certification finding that individual issues predominate over class-wide issues, most notably the issue of whether the consumer(s) provided their consent to be called using an ATDS.
Due to the upswing in recent litigation, the case law surrounding the TCPA is changing. In addition to defending TCPA lawsuits, The Salvo Law Firm provides our clients with recent developments in the law and guides our clients in complying with the Act.


Milton Church's evangelistic strategy for 2018 involved two components: a spring and fall emphasis on reaping series. We started in the spring with "Three Great Weekends to Easter". Each week prior to the weekend's drama event a full-page newspaper advertisement was published. I would play a one-man drama series of two characters who played significant parts in the Easter drama.
On the weekend of March 16, I played Pilate and then on the weekend of March 23, I played Judas. These two one-man plays were to be a build-up to the final Easter weekend drama on March 30, where I would play the part of Jesus along with a full cast of actors as we portrayed the Last Supper that Jesus would spend with His disciples.
Countless hours were spent getting ready for these dramas. I have played dramas around the world, but somehow these dramas touched me in a way I have never been moved.
If a speaker wants to affect a change in his audience the change must first begin within the speaker. As I wrote the script for Pontius Pilate, I found myself understanding him, his dilemma and his struggle in a new way. Pilate caved into the pressures around him, he made a decision that compromised his personal values of being a fair and impartial judge. He made a huge mess of his life.
In my study of Pilate, I discovered that he may have become a Christian. His heart may have been changed after his encounter with Jesus. It gives us all hope. No matter what kind of mess we make of our life when we accept Christ into our life, there is hope.
It may seem strange to play a character like Judas for a community drama. Yet, I found as I stepped into his life, this man, so full of contradictions, could deeply move us. Judas chose to be close to Christ. He desired to be His disciple, but he couldn't let go of the pull of the world, his desire for prestige, honor and wealth. He wanted to be with Jesus, but on his own terms. He thought he knew better what was best for Jesus.
These two men, a coward and a betrayer, reveal how God's purposes move forward despite man's attempt at trying to control and orchestrate events according to his own will.
The portrayal of Judas was particularly emotionally draining for me. I was so looking forward to my next weekend where I would play the part of Jesus.
Friday, March 30, the morning of the day I was to play the part of Jesus I woke up with the play on my mind. That was when my life took a decided turn. The medical event that I experienced took me on a journey that has literally changed my life. My one thought, as I lay on a gurney in the ER, was… the play must go on!

← First Time Homebuyer Credit RECALL!!
Title Junction wants to keep the community aware of any new or updated laws that Congress passes and as of June 29, 2012, they extended the National Flood Insurance Program.
Congress passed H.R. 4348, the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2012, which included an extension of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) for five years until September 30, 2017. This provides the long term certainty that the program – and the continued recovery of Florida's real estate economy will require. Many of you will recall that the NFIP has been operating under a series of temporary extensions since Sept. 30, 2008 with occasional "sale killing" gaps.
The House voted just before 2 p.m. on June 29, 2012, 373-52, to pass the legislation, and the Senate voted a few minutes later, 74-19. The legislation has been sent to President Obama, who is expected to sign it.
· The Federal Emergency Management Agency will to continue its ongoing analysis of how risk areas behind levees should be treated under the NFIP.
· FEMA may raise rates a maximum of 20 percent annually, as compared to 10 percent annually under the current program. Rates for second homes, properties with repetitive flood claims and commercial properties will go up 20 percent over the next five years.
· The bill reiterates FEMA's authority to buy private reinsurance to back the program, which is aimed at reducing FEMA's reliance on Treasury loans to fund the program. It also requires investigation into various options and methods for privatizing the NFIP.
· Lenders will be required to accept non-NFIP backed flood-insurance coverage provided by a private entity if that coverage meets all the same requirements as NFIP-backed flood insurance.

Jackets feast on Madison

Defense sparks Mount Vernon to win over Rams
MOUNT VERNON — The Mount Vernon boys basketball team was hungry for a victory.
The Yellow Jackets had lost five straight, even though they nearly won three of those games. So, when Mansfield Madison rolled in to town Friday, the Jackets feasted.
Mount Vernon used a stifling defense throughout the game, then watched the offense explode in the second half en route to a 58-27 victory over the visiting Rams in Ohio Cardinal Conference action.
"It's been a while. Three weeks is a long time to go without winning," said Mount Vernon coach Nick Coon. "Even though the results haven't been there, I think behind the scenes we've gotten better. We've got a better understanding of what we're trying to do. I think that work and that sticking together came to fruition tonight."
The Jackets (4-6 overall, 2-2 OCC) brought their lunchpails with them the first half, doing all the dirty work needed to take control of the game. They held Madison (3-8, 1-4) to just 5 of 25 shooting in the first half to take a 20-14 lead.
"We really defended well, which helped our offense while it was struggling in the first half," said Coon. "They (Madison) are a streaky team. They've had games where they really lit up the scoreboard, especially from the 3-point line. We knew we needed to guard the 3-point line and then rebound those long misses from all five of our players. They made four threes, but I think for the most part we did a pretty good job of contesting their shots and then blocking out and rebounding."
The defense continued all night, as Madison shot just 20 percent from the field (9 of 45). The Rams also made just 4 of 20 shots from behind the 3-point line.
A halftime adjustment by the Jackets was all they needed to kick start the offense. After scoring just 20 points in the first half, MV nearly scored that many in the third quarter (15 points), then broke it open in the fourth (23).
"That was nice to see. That energy started at the defensive end. It was key to getting our offense started," Coon said. "We talked at halftime if they were going to continue to run traps at our guys, to see the floor, look up the floor and then once we beat that initial trap, to really attack the rim and make them pay. We did a much better job of that and finding the open guy going to the rim."
Blake Meyer was one of the big recipients of that attacking offense in the second half. The junior scored 14 of his 22 points in the final 16 minutes. Three of those buckets in an eight-point third quarter were off nice feeds from his teammates that had broken through the traps.
The Jackets continued to make Madison's aggressive defense pay in the fourth, scoring 23 points, including going 7 of 10 from the free-throw line.
Meyer also pulled down five rebounds to go along with his team-high 22 points. Beau Bridges scored 11 points and had six rebounds for the Jackets, while Dayne Burgess had four points and a team-high seven rebounds. Spencer Bills scored five points and Evan Boatwright had four points and three assists.
Madison was led by Steven Williams, who scored eight points on two triples. Levi Zehner and Tyler Tackett both had six points, while Dylan Metz had four points and six rebounds.
Coon liked what he saw Friday and hopes it continues tonight when the Jackets travel to Big Walnut.
"All 11 guys that played brought really good energy. That was key. Our energy has been good at practice. I don't think that's a coincidence that our energy carried over to the game tonight," he said. "It was good to be back in front of a really good home crowd. Our band was here tonight. They bring that energy as well. To have them there is key to the atmosphere as well. I think our players fed off that.
"We're hoping we can carry some of this momentum into tomorrow. We have a really tough road game at Big Walnut, a quality opponent. We have an opportunity to go to Big Walnut and continue the momentum we built tonight."
It was a clean sweep on the night for the Jackets, as both the junior varsity and freshman teams posted victories over Madison.
The jayvees (5-5) held off the Rams for a 38-36 victory. Gavin Moyer led the Jackets with eight points.
The freshman team (9-0) remained unbeaten on the season, posting a 55-25 victory. Hudson Rohler led the Jackets with 21 points.

Steinmetz sparks East Knox past Devils


This year's Festive RIDE program looks to 'reduce impaired driving everywhere' over the holiday season, and according to Sault Ste. Marie Police Service, that also applies to cannabis.
Spina says that a few roadside drug screening devices are currently in service, with some officers in the process of being trained on how to use them.
Such devices could be a part of any vehicle check during this year's Festive RIDE program, but even if there are no roadside drug screening devices on site, Spina told reporters that they are always available "at a moment's notice" if a test is required.
But if the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service was looking at potentially laying charges for drug impaired driving, there are other tools at its disposal.
City police can employ the services of a standard field sobriety technician (SFST) or a drug recognition expert that can attend the scene and administer tests on drivers.
Meanwhile, Sault Ste. Marie Police Service would like to remind novice drivers - which applies to those holding a G1 or G2 licence, and drivers under the age of 22 years old - that there is zero tolerance for driving while under the effects of cannabis.
Upcoming changes to federal legislation will enable police across Canada to demand a breath sample from any driver, at any time, for any reason - but those changes do not apply to cannabis, police say.

Living on Earth: Field Note: Baboon, "The Observer"
Located in the midst of the Maasai Mara, the Musiara Marsh and the riverine forests and planes that surround it are as rich in wildlife as anyplace on earth. With the exception of the great apes, nearly every species you might expect to find in Africa can be found here, one close upon the other. Rather than familiarity breeding contempt, here it breeds awareness. A community of eyes that is always watching. In that sense, every creature is looking out for every other.
A camaraderie forced by the hierarchical connection of predator and prey, upon the prey.
The baboon watches. Watching him we see through his eyes. But the story here is not what the baboon sees but rather it is about watching the watcher. It is not the way the baboon looks, his aspect so similar to us in form, but the manner of his looking about that is our deep connection. It is his bright-eyed alertness with which we identify. And we do that because, following his gaze (if we do so with patience) we develop a very good idea of what he is thinking. Not least because our thoughts if one of us was alone and unprotected in the baboon's vulnerable space, would be much the same as his.

We're spending this summer recording and mixing more tracks for our new album, designing a new band logo, planning the filming of our music video…and hanging out up north again! See you soon, Nunavut!


Rome is the city of Art, Cinema, and Culture and where Accademia was founded in 1964 and since then operates. Living and studying in Rome is a unique and unrepeatable experience, where creativity will be constantly nourished by the city's history, environment and ancient atmospheres that can be felt and almost touched in every corner, street or square.
Studying fashion and costume design in Rome is a challenging and unique experience that will open your creative talent to unimaginable worlds.
Fashion and Costume can be considered two expressions of the same art. We like to think of them as also part of Human's Culture and Nature. This is probably why society has always communicated its style through this Art as its meaningful and symbolic character. Custom and costume become the combination of the ever changing world of Fashion and the endless evolution of human life, marking the level of sensitivity of each era and culture.
We consider Costume and Fashion two essential pillars of our culture. That's why we chose to focus on both issues combining them with the surrounding worlds of design, culture, research, tradition, innovation, craftsmanship, product making shaping future professionals geared for the ever demanding industry. Favoured by a one and only opportunity offered by our exceptional location that has hosted us for the last 50 years: Rome.
The Academy has a long tradition in the system of training in the areas of Fashion and Costume, qualifying it as a centre of excellence for study and research. Our students progress to become leading figures in the fashion industry (Creative Directors, Line Managers, Senior Designer, entrepreneurs themselves) and within costume designers for large productions both at a national and internationally level.
The Academic Diploma Level I in Costume and Fashion is unique in Italy (if not in the world) where study goes hand in hand between the two areas of Fashion and Costume within the same course.
The Academic Diploma Course aims to train professionals able to respond to the needs of fashion companies and industry of cinema and theatre productions, film and television: research, style, design and production.
The structure of teaching and learning combines interact techniques and knowledge in the fields of Fashion and Costume, providing the student a cultural understanding, appreciation of style and design methodology in the areas of costume, fashion and accessories.
The course provides the student with a comprehensive plan of vocational training, acquisition of techniques and knowledge leading to a professional standard of competence.
Seminars with industry experts / theory classes / work shops, laboratories / self-directed study / industry events / participation in international competitions / specialist industry visits both fashion related as well as tailors and film sets, television and theatre.
At the end of the course of the Academic Diploma Level I students currently have the opportunity to present a collection from their creative project: Final Work and the Talents of Fashion. A panel of external experts assist in the evaluation of selecting the most relevant collections, which once successfully developed and realised will show during the fashion week in Rome, Alta Roma, in front of a panel of creative directors, talent scouts, journalists and leading institutions. A student will also be given the opportunity to participate in the International Show of Graduate Fashion Week in London.
The Final Work of Costume sees the Academy produce a real theatrical experience, where students are engaged in the conception and design and creation of the costumes with the help and supervision of professionals and tutors. Professional actors wear their costumes during the staging of the show.

'Zed: A Cosmic Tale' - Advance Graphic Novel Review (Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead.)
What is the cutest alien inventor to do? In Michel Gagné's Zed: a Cosmic Tale, our hero, Zed, has invented a powerful device that provides cheap, plentiful, and clean energy, but something terrible happened and now he is on the run from a powerful and blood-thirsty warlord. This adorable sci-fi comic book wades into some pretty dark and menacing territory. And, that seems to be the most important detail of this comic. It is never just one thing. The story, tone, and artwork are often both cute and disturbing at the same time.
Comments:DISQUS_COMMENTS
'Rex Mundi Omnibus Volume 2:' Advance TPB Review
Arvid Nelson's Rex Mundi Omnibus Volume 2 is an interesting book. If you read it having read the first volume (which is definitely the recommended route), then it is the evolution of a story from mystery to conspiracy to war. If you have not read the first one, then it is an unusual alternate history of World War II. The comic stands on its own either way, but I think the story is stronger if you have read the first one.
'Star Wars: Blood Ties Volume 2—Boba Fett is Dead' - Advance TPB Review
The first page of Star Wars: Blood Ties Volume 3 - Boba Fett is Dead is a wonderful splash page of the recently dead Boba Fett. I honestly don't think this next bit counts as a spoiler since the surprise is spoiled before the first page of the comic, but if you want your experience to be completely unsullied, skip the rest of this paragraph. This book takes place about a year before the events of Star Wars: Episode IV— A New Hope. Eagle-eyed readers might notice that this means that the book takes place before the first appearance of Boba Fett in the Star Wars Holiday Special.* Clearly, Boba Fett survived his death, but that's not really the point of the story.
'Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness #1' - Advance Comic Book Review
Based on the title, I assume that sometime soon, the crew of the Enterprise will find themselves trekking into darkness. Cumberbatch speculation aside, this comic takes place in the months after Star Trek, when the crew find themselves in danger from an unexpected source.
'Mind MGMT #7:' Advance Comic Book Review
Wow. This one got its hooks in me deep. For those of you who haven't picked up Mind MGMT, this is a great place to start. I can say this with complete confidence, as someone who has not read Mind MGMT before. I suppose I could begin where the issue does, with a wonderful page that gives you all the backstory you would need to pick up the story. This is something that every comic should do, every time.
'The One Trick Rip-Off + Deep-Cuts:' Advance Hardcover Review
I have to confess that one of my favorite sub-genres is the low level gang drama. I love it when these stories involve double and triple crosses and the contradiction of trying to maintain a sense of morality while operating outside the law. In case you haven't guessed, Paul Pope's The One Trick Rip-Off is this kind of book. It is a beautifully sad story of trying to escape the life of petty crime. Or it's an action-packed character piece about a criminal who is willing to betray his colleagues to get ahead. Or it's just a good story that fits into several genres without feeling trapped by any of them.
'Todd, The Ugliest Kid on Earth #1:' Advance Comic Book Review
It's gotta be hard to be the ugliest kid on Earth, but Todd seems to take it all in stride. He is upbeat and friendly to everyone, but this is not Pollyanna. For one thing, Todd's town is the haunt of a maniac killer. Also, everybody else seems to be immune to his charms. But, those charms seemed to have worked on me. Despite the fact that there are precisely zero other characters in this comic that are even slightly sympathetic, I enjoyed this book a great deal.
'Frank Cho: Women Book 2' - Advance Hardcover Review
There are few books whose title so clearly tells you exactly what you are going to get as Frank Cho's new art book, Women Book 2. (I'm looking at you, Catcher in the Rye.) The book is devoted to Cho's comic depictions of beautiful ladies. The artwork is split between collecting various comic covers, pinups of a character from his webcomic, and (mostly) tasteful nudes and semi-nudes.
'Doctor Who #4:' Advance Comic Book Review
In Issue #4 of the Doctor Who comic, Rory and the Doctor are unable to get back to Amy, who is stuck in 1814 in London. Rory and the Doctor find themselves a few years early (or possibly later) during the War of 1812, a century and a half late and on the Moon, and about 115 years late in New York City.

As I have said many times before, the Adventure Time comics are really good, so it should not be surprising that Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake is also great. This comic takes place in the gender-swapped alternate universe. Finn is now Fionna, Jake the dog is now Cake the cat, Marceline is now Marshall Lee, Princess Bubblegum is now Prince Gumball, and the Ice King is the Ice Queen. Pretty straightforward. Like a lot of alternate universe stories, half the fun comes from comparing this version to the one you are accustomed to. Fortunately for this comic, the other half is a fun and very funny story, so you don't miss out if you aren't familiar with all the intricacies of Adventure Time.

Barcelona bid £90m for Neymar 'and offer PSG a list of six players to choose two from' in stunning swap deal
McDonald's goes designer and other highlights from Men's Fashion Week
Meet the Men's Street-Style Star Whose Fashion Delivers a Powerful Message
August 14, 2019 Swashbuckler	Style
Photographed by Phil Oh
The street-style scene outside the Spring 2020 menswear shows in Paris was a feast for the senses. Men took to the streets in bold sportswear and kilts. But there was one particular subject, captured by Vogue's photographer Phil Oh, who stole the show: That's Quin Lewis. Dressed in Thom Browne's gingham shorts suit, he allowed the shortened silhouette to showcase his prosthetic leg, using fashion as a means for both body confidence and empowerment.
By day, Lewis—who is 39 and resides in Washington, D.C.—is a foreign affairs official with the U.S. Department of State; by night, however, he calls himself a true "fashion enthusiast." Last month, he headed to Paris to take in the Spring 2020 collections, something he does every season (in Milan as well). "Men's Fashion Week in Paris is one of my favorite times of the year, when I have the opportunity to wear my best looks of the season, view the latest collections, and decide which trends I can incorporate into my wardrobe for the year ahead," he says. His highlights from the Spring runways? "Virgil Abloh for Louis Vuitton continues to amaze me with his modern take on suiting, featuring built-in harnesses and sculptural jackets, some with elegantly finished details on the back," he says. "I'm going to have a field day with Thom Browne's colorful seersucker suits next season." He also loved Dries Van Noten's floral and leopard prints, as well as the shows at Alexander McQueen, GmbH, and Alyx.

For Lewis, though, the street-style scene outside of the shows served as more than a casual photo op; it was an opportunity to deliver a message about fashion and body positivity. After losing his right leg in an accident in 2005, Lewis found strength in heightening his fashion sense. "I've always had a passion for fashion….It was especially important for me to continue pursuing these passions to the fullest extent possible after the accident," he says. "In this vein, becoming an amputee didn't change my outlook on fashion; it simply made me work harder to put together looks that are undeniably cool, despite the prosthetic."
These days, Lewis describes his personal style as "rooted in tailored menswear, with an exacting attention to detail," adding that his favorite, most-worn labels are Thom Browne, Louis Vuitton, and Dries Van Noten (all of which he wore throughout Fashion Week). He continues, "I especially like ultra-luxe layered looks, which combine textures and bold prints, paired with something completely unexpected. I live for monochromatic ensembles and bold printed suiting fabrics."
A prime example of his use of style to express confidence is the Thom Browne suit he wore in Paris (the street-style photographers went wild for it). "I have always loved Thom Browne's short suits and once I tried one on, I felt like I was presenting my most authentic self," he says. "It was the first time in 14 years that I wore shorts in public and it was an amazing experience. The prosthetic leg tells a powerful story of how blessed I am to be alive and able to walk around with a smile on my face." Going forward, Lewis hopes to incorporate even more shorts into his wardrobe now, adding, "I'm already thinking of wearing a kilt to the next Thom Browne show."
While Lewis has gotten more experimental with his sartorial choices, he says his approach to dressing has always remained consistent. "I never wanted the prosthetic leg to create an unnecessary distraction," he says. "When I'm wearing pants, the average viewer thinks I sustained some sort of a temporary injury—they cannot fathom that I'm an above-the-knee amputee. However, after my accident, the first thing I learned is to accept the things I cannot change. I can't change the fact that I'm an amputee, but I can control what I wear and how I present myself to the world. I want to present the most confident, best-dressed version of myself."

From the early days of Country Music, singers like Tennessee Ernie Ford, Patsy Cline, and Hank Williams Sr., gave the common man a voice, lovers a song, and the dejected an anthem. Country Music has continued to follow these traditions, always keeping the working men and women and their everyday events, such as lost love, drinking beer, and pining over a women, as a focal point in the songs.
Important artists

Q: Can we create stub JAR with just the Groovy Contract DSL file and without having the whole Producer code I have a producer service code base. I added contract DSL Groovy files to it and maven dependencies and plugins to the pom. I am running mvn clean install to generate the Stub jar, wiremock stub json and the tests.
Is it possible to create the Stub jar without having the whole code base? Can we create Stub jar just by having the Contract DSL?
Previously I tried the below command on the folder where the contracts are residing. This would create Wiremock Stub JSON from the Groovy Contracts
mvn org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin:convert
I want to generate Stub Jar too by just using the Groovy contracts and not the building the whole code base. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance

A: This is that happens out of the box. We create a sub hat with stubs and contracts. If you do mvn clean install you very the built code and the stub jar. You could create an assembly plugin setup to manually setup the jar.

MXDWN Music reviews Invasion: "Eclectic, strange and satisfying".
Another brilliant review on the album Invasion from John 5 and The Creatures, this time from MXDWN Music.
"Some other notable songs on the album are "Howdy," "Crank It – Living With Ghosts" and "I Like the Funk." Each of these songs is incredibly different from each other, which is part of what makes them worth mentioning. "Howdy" is filled with country guitar licks and some impressive picking that not many artists can accomplish. It's fast-paced and fun, and Lowery shows that he can be much more than a rock guitarist. "Crank It – Living With Ghosts" is worth mentioning not because it's a great song, but because it's an odd one that will remain memorable. A robotic voice says throughout "crank it mother fucker," and though it's a little bit strange, it gets stuck in listener's heads for sure. Finally, "I Like the Funk" brings in the funk style on the album, with some funky guitar riffs meshing in with the rock ones."
