Some more fun with p0f and Splunk…Now with profiling of client internet connections!
Setup of the p0f and logging is the same as in the OS Profiling post.
The Splunk search string has been extended to extract the source's internet link as a field too (go for the portion in bold for the field extracting commands):
| file /home/path/to/p0f.log | rex field=_raw "> (?<srcip>[^:]+):(?<srcport>[^ ]+) – (?<srcos>.+?) (" | rex field=_raw "-> (?<dstip>[^:]+):(?<dstport>[^ ]+) " | rex field=_raw "link: (?<srclink>.*))$" | regex srclink!="(unspecified|unknown)" | top limit=0 srclink
The fields that I extract with this:
- srcip -> source IP
- srcport -> source TCP port
- srcos -> source's OS (woot!)
- dstip -> destination IP (which is my machine's)
- dstport -> the destination port which the TCP connection was initiated to
- srclink -> the internet link of the source machine
After filtering out the "unspecified" and "unknown" links, the list of the detected links are as follows:
"ethernet/modem" points to mostly cable connections. There're some interesting entries in the list though, like vtun, pppoe, Google/AOL, IPv6/IPIP (early adopters? haha). Don't have any idea on what's IPSec/GRE, or vLAN here in this context though.
Just for the heck of it, here's the chart for this table, generated from the reports link in Splunk.
I like the charts, because they allow some interaction with the charts for simple datasets, but I digress 😛

Greenwich sophomore earns US Squash All-America honors
Recommended Video:
When Greenwich's Ashton Monteiro posted 3-0 victories in his two matches at the U.S. High School Team Squash Championships in February, it was a microcosm of his standout sophomore season.
Monteiro, 16, excelled at the No. 1 spot for Greenwich High School's 'A' team, consistently providing wins from the top position in the lineup.
His production certainly didn't go unnoticed.
U.S. Squash recently announced its High School all-American selections and Monteiro made the list.
"I am very grateful to be chosen as an all-American," Monteiro said. "It has not always been an easy path for me. It's just proof that the hard work I've been putting in is paying off."
A club sport at Greenwich, the Cardinals have four boys teams (A, B, C, D) based on skill level and several girls squads. Monteiro served as captain of the boys' 'A' team as a sophomore. Greenwich's boys' 'A' team advanced to the quarterfinal-round of the Division 4 bracket at the U.S. High School Team Squash Championships, with Monteiro going 2-0 for the tournament.
"I like helping my team succeed and being a leader," Monteiro said. "Next season, I am going to try to continue to lead the group to a solid standing and help enhance the play at Greenwich High School."
Ranked 48th nationally in the U.S. Squash Under-17 year-old division, Monteiro began playing the sport as a 9-year-old at Sportsplex in Stamford and Stamford-based Chelsea Piers Connecticut. He was coached by Olivia Blatchford-Clyne, a professional player, who won the girls Under-15 division title at the British Junior Open back in 2007.
"What I really like about the sport is the adrenaline rush I get from competing," Monteiro said. "Whether I am winning, or losing, I am always having fun on the court. It is also a game where you can come back from any deficit."
Such was the case for Monteiro in a U.S. Squash Under-17 tournament in Chicago.
"I was backed up against the wall against the No. 1 seed in the second round and managed to pull it out and beat him," he said. "That was the highlight of my career, coming back to beat the No. 1 seed. I always like being the underdog. On the court, it has been an uphill mountain to climb and I like the challenge."
Monteiro, whose father Antonio also flourished on the squash court, aspires to compete at the collegiate level.
"My dad is the one that helped me get started in squash," Monteiro said. "Even when I didn't have a private coach, he was teaching me how to play. I have learned a lot from playing squash — sportsmanship, respect, the importance of always giving it your best."
Luke Butterworth, the head squash coach at Greenwich Academy, which has won the Division I title at the U.S. High Team Squash Championships five consecutive years, is Monteiro's private coach.
"I started coaching Ashton around 2012, 2013 for the Connecticut regional team championships and he has a lot of potential," Butterworth said. "He loves squash and is an all-around great kid."
Butterworth appreciates the determination and desire Moneiro regularly displays.
"He has knuckled down and worked hard day-in and day-out," Butterworth said. "He has done the extra work on the squash court and has had some tough battles over the years. Ashton made the Junior Championship Tour level and is one of the top ranked players, thanks to the hard work he has put in."

Common Wealth Poultry
Great implementation, responsive team. I used to work for Airtable, so, naturally, had planned to build my own integration, but the team at AirPower saved me a ton of time. Flexible enough to use for a variety of base configurations, but easy enough to get started out of the box.
Jennifer Fisher
Airpower has saved me and my team thousands of hours or work tracking production jobs. Awesome App! Excellent customer support and very easy to use. I highly recommend.
Mister Zimi
If you aren't using AirPower to manage your product data, you're doing it all wrong. The apps potential is almost unlimited once you start delving deeper into AirTable. Support is A+ and will do most of the heavy lifting for you, of which there isn't much! I can't recommend it more highly and only wish I had found it earlier

It's all talk talk
As writers (and the arts community in general), we're looked to as advocates of culture and spokes-folks for our society. After 9/11, the most outspoken voice was Bruce Springsteen and his disc, The Rising. When events unfold in our world, writers, authors, artists and musicians help us understand what's happening.
But where do we draw the line? How do we, as writers, express ourselves without offending people and thus losing readers? If I come out on one side of a political or religious discussion, some folks will agree with me and some won't, but is it so important for me to state my opinion that I'm willing to lose readers? I could very well ostracize myself from my fellow writers as well. Should we shy away from those topics that can turn incendiary in an instant? Or do we face the taboos and drag them out into the light, shining our own truths on them? As writers, our readers sustain us (in a financial sense) and keep us writing. Should we think of the consequences of our words before we post them for all the world to see?
My first publisher told me to start a blog and get on MySpace (remember that?) and get a website up, but don't write about any issues that could cost me readers. But some of these issues are quite complex and deserve to be discussed. Unfortunately, as I've seen with a recent news event, when people get passionate, they can get loud and when they come from the heart, they don't always think before hitting Publish or Send.
This is a problem with our electronic society. In our social isolationism, it's okay to say whatever you want because it's online and somehow, the consequences don't matter. But before I digress too far...
Conversely, in my next book, I can discuss any social issue and use my characters to come down on whatever side I choose. I can work out my own issues through my characters and call it fiction and it's all right. Of course by the time the book gets published, the issue could be history.
So where's the balance? If I tell you my political leanings, would that change whether you read my books? If I spoke out about religious issues, would you consider it inappropriate or justified because I have a right to speak? Can you separate the writer and his books from the writer and his opinions?
How do you handle discussing fiery topics on your blog or Facebook or wherever?
Gary . . .

I think an artist (painter, writer, musician...) can expect to piss some people off in his or her career. That's the risk and the right of creating art.ReplyDelete
Now when it's not part of the art, that's harder to draw the line. But I don't think anyone should hide their political or social views out of risk of losing one or two readers here or there.
Besides, if you're infusing your work with your personality, as you should be doing, you're probably not going to appeal to those people anyway. So why hide it in real life?
Interestingly, I had someone "friend" me on MySpace because she loved my first book. When I saw her profile, she was so far in the opposite political direction that I was glad I hadn't posted any of my political ideology.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 19, 2010 at 12:39 PM
I don't think the actual topic bloggers choose to discuss matters so much as the way they discuss it. I'm all for a good debate on the pros and cons of an issue, but when I see a blog entry with (say) the words, 'Those [insert string of foul words here] on the other side of the political fence' etc, not only do I skim over that entry, regardless of which side of the fence that person's on, I lower my opinion of that blogger. If he/she keeps posting rants like that, I stop reading that journal altogether.ReplyDelete
Gary, it depends wildly on how the controversial subject is being discussed. Is it thoughtful, intelligent commentary, or emotional, ill-conceived rambling? I've seen writers expect to build a readership base while calling people who disagree with them "Nazis", "communists" and "KKK members". Well, really, if someone called you those things, would you buy their books? Of course not.ReplyDelete

Last night was curriculum night at my son's high school and we went to meet teachers and hear presentations to help him pick out classes for next year. Obviously, through 16 years and four kids I've been to a lot of schools and met a lot of teachers, so tonight was not particularly unusual, but I could nonetheless not helped but be truly impressed by the enthusiasm and commitment of so many of the teachers I met. It was truly heartening. We were there till almost 8 meaning many of the teachers at been there well over 12 hours and they still had genuine enthusiasm for talking about the possibilities of my child in their class next year. That's just awesome.
On a related note, I came home and saw this nice Atlantic post about paying teachers more. It's not a panacea, but it would sure help, and there's a lot of nice, useful, cross-national context here:
Mallerie Niemann, a student teacher in Central California who's slated to finish up her credentialing program in May, said she's "skeptical" the kinds of pay increases under consideration in other states will make much of a difference for teachers. "I wonder how much a salary [raise] can really influence productivity—how well you perform your job, how much you enjoy your job," she said. "It's more support from the community, more support from the administration that are really going to have influence." In fact, Niemann plans to take a year off to travel after getting her certificate—even though delaying her foray into teaching means she'll make thousands less in the long run.
Salary increases may, however, prove to be an important tool in stabilizing the teaching force in the short term by sending the message to educators that the time and energy they sacrifice for their jobs aren't being taken for granted. The Metlife survey found that roughly two in three public-school teachers felt their salaries weren't fair for the work they do, and chances are that percentage has only grown as a result of new classroom reforms, including high-stakes evaluation systems, that some argue have placed excessive burdens on educators…
It's also worth noting that while teachers in the U.S. make about the same as their counterparts elsewhere, they tend to clock in many more hours: A New York Timesanalysis of OECD data found that U.S. teachers spend an average of about 1,080 hours teaching annually, compared to the OECD average of about 700 to 800 hours depending on the grade level. Meanwhile, the difference in pay between high-school teachers and other college graduates is much larger in the U.S. than it is in other OECD countries on average. In other words, a little extra pay may help reduce some of those international disparities and give U.S. teachers—both current and prospective—a small but significant morale boost.
Not mentioned here, but very much worth noting is that paying teachers better would help the prestige of the occupation, which would surely lead to both higher-quality college students seeking out a teaching career and more respect and support for teachers once they were in that career. All this stuff is inter-related. Money really does matter. But, since this article also includes one of my favorite points:
But perhaps more importantly, districts, he said, also have to ensure teachers have quality opportunities to both improve their craft and contribute "[to decision-making] at a higher level than they currently do. They need to feel bought in." And these kinds of interactions are proven to elevate student achievement; an analysis of more than 1,000 studies found that students scored 21 percentage points higher than average on standardized tests when their teachers had access to ongoing professional support and training.
What you sure don't see as a meaningful solution from anywhere else in the world is evaluating teachers by student test scores.

White Day: Japanese reverse Valentine´s day
In Japan, it is customary that on Valentine's Day only women give gifts (usually chocolate) to men, either as an expression of affection, courtesy or social obligation. On the other hand, at the White Day (March 14th), the men who received chocolates at Valentine's Day thank them for offering a gift to the woman to return the favor.
Traditionally, the most popular gifts for this day are cookies, jewelry, white chocolate, or other objects of the same color.
The White Day was held for the first time in 1978 in Japan.
It was started by the National Confectionery Industries Association as a "day of response" for Valentine's Day, under the argument that men should return them to women who gave them chocolate and other gifts. In 1977, a candy company in Fukuoka, Ishimuramanseido, marketed marshmallows for men on March 14, calling it Marshmallow Day (マ シ ュ マ ロ デ ー Mashumaro Dē).
Soon, the candy companies began marketing white chocolate. Currently, men give away black and white chocolate, as well as other edible and inedible gifts, such as jewelry or objects of sentimental value. Flowers and other gifts are also given on this day. Eventually, this practice spread to the neighboring countries of Japan: South Korea, China, Taiwan and Vietnam. In those cultures, White Day is celebrated in a similar way for the most part.
Keep in mind some details:
Men are expected to return Valentine's gifts with objects of greater value than the ones they received. And of course: the white color is the hero!
If the gift that is received is of the same value as the one that was given for Valentine's Day it is common to think that something does not work in the relationship. It is also to be expected that the most expensive and personal gifts are made only to the couple or person you like. To your friends or co-workers the most usual thing is to give them sweets or chocolate.
The term sanbai gaeshi (三倍 返 し, return triple), tends to be used to represent the rule in which men must return a gift that is two or three times the value of the one they received on Valentine's Day.
If you are a boy and you received gifts on Valentine's Day, then you know what you have to do: give gifts back to all the girls from whom you received chocolate. You can give anything, but you have to make sure it's nicer, better, or more expensive than the chocolates you received for Valentine's Day.

Sunday Scrutinization: Discipleship on My Mind
If you read my post about being a cowboy, basically I was talking about discipleship. Whether or not it was about worldly knowledge or biblical, being a cowboy, in the way I was thinking, is about being a disciple. I may have always whined about not being formerly or properly discipled in my life, but that is not entirely true, which was possible the point of today's sermon.
We started out having to personally answer three questions about discipleship:
- What is discipleship?
- Are you involved in discipleship? Why or why not?
- Who were the disciples of Christ?
I always think that the giver of sermons is always trying to trick us gullible congregants, so I try and look at what they are really asking. My answer to the first had to do with encouragement and teaching; you remember my post on encouragement, and the fact that disciple basically means learner. Pretty good, huh?
The second question was, I believe, the tricky one. I basically said that no one can handle me. If you've read my blog for a while, you know I'm not like regular folk, whether it be the fact that I don't think like others or that I spill it all out on this keyboard; I think it's just not normal. I'm a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, or I like to think that I am. I'm probably plain as day to some or just not worth the effort to others. Incidentally, I'm glad of the fact that my wife felt me worth the effort. The second part of my answer to the second question was, that I just don't know what to do. And the third part of my answer was, is that I am constantly involved in discipleship. This is the answer that will give me the golden pat on the head for thinking outside the 52 ounce mug of soda. We all, in minor ways, are involved in discipleship, because people are watching us and we are watching people. We are learning constantly. We may not be going through some formal back and forth, but we see each other and how we live life. Those who believe that they know that they don't know everything are always on the discipleship path.
The third question was in where he was being a tricksy hobbit as well, at least I thought he was. I said that all who know Him are His disciples. It wasn't until at the end of sermon time when someone asked all the disciples names, did I realize he may not have been as tricksy as I thought he was trying to be. Perhaps that is how I would be as a sermon giver, always trying to trick you foolish congregants, ha ha ha! Wait, no. Never mind. I'd be the straight shooter. You know, the cowboy and all is an open book; straight and true.
The verses he used as a basis for his sermon was 2 Timothy 2:2 and Matthew 28:19-20:
And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
His point was that we all need to be involved in discipleship. To me he spoke that I need to take a more conscious approach, rather than an unconscious approach. Which is what I normally do. We all have some pretty lame excuses when it comes to not being involved in discipleship: "I'm not spiritual enough." "I can't be discipled by someone less godly than me." "I can't do co-discipleship." "I have to treat anyone I disciple the same." He had more excuses, but I think time had gotten away from him. He was looking down, trying to decide what to eliminate, when the overdue pregnant woman got up to go somewhere, and someone behind me shouted out, "too long." Sermon guy didn't realize why "too long" was shouted, laughed and tried to wrap it all up. I'm approaching a deadline myself. I'd like to finish writing this as my wife and daughter are making jícama slaw in preparation for going to puppet practice and then hanging out with this beloved community tonight, and I'm still in give-up pants and socks. But, if you can read between the lines here and see the connection with what I believe a true cowboy is and the connection of discipleship and Frank Viola sending me a sample of his new book "Discipleship in Crisis" where you can still possibly get the free download here, that God is sending me a message: Step up to the plate bucky-boy and throw for that touchdown as you round up those I've prepared from the beginning. Great metaphor mixing, yes? Perhaps before I and my family can jump into the path he has set for us in proclaiming His kingdom, He wants me to get more… *cough* *cough* personal with others, or maybe this is the path. Whatever it is, He is speaking to me, leading me and I want to follow. Giddy-up and git cowboys and cowgirls! For the harvest is ripe and we all need to stand together.

There is something unexplainable that happens when you have that I've on I've intimate relationship with another thru discipleship. You will get what you invest in it. He calls us to it, no matter how w feel about it. And i believe Christ meant, to literally make a conscious meaningful effort…

Though from the UK, the members of The Temperance Movement cut their teeth on classic American rock bands. "We've been influenced by vintage classic rock," lead singer Phil Campbell says through a heavy British accent from a tour stop in Colorado. "I grew up in the '90s, the Black Crowes brought it together for me in a nice package."
The Temperance Movement came together around 2008 when Phil Campbell started tiring of playing Tom Waits and Robbie Robertson-inspired solo material and decided It was time to rock. Campbell aligned himself with likeminded musicians though the band's first album didn't come out in 2013. Through the various collective influences, the sound that The Temperance Movement settled on for the self-titled debut was one that was equal parts The Black Crowes, The Faces and Free.
The band's latest, White Bear (released just a few weeks ago), picks up where the debut left off. The Temperance Movement delivers a classic rock sounding album that not only sounds like the previously mentioned bands but also Gomez, a band with a cult-like following in the US.
"We're just the same boys we always were," Campbell says. "We're always learning, learning from each other. By the time we recorded White Bear, we all knew each other much better than when we started."
After last year's successful US tour with Blackberry Smoke (including a show at The Newport), Campbell said he realized America's potential and, unlike some bands he considers peers who think a week or two worth of dates in the US is enough, is ready to make a go of it. "You need to keep going to the US and going back," says Campbell revealing The Temperance Movement's philosophy about touring. "That's how Bruce Springsteen did it, he was on the road forever."
The Temperance Movement has a few US tour dates in the next week, jumps overseas to play some festivals, and then returns to the US in September for another short run of headlining dates. You can catch them, along with The Stone Foxes, at the A&R Music Bar on Friday night. Doors at 8pm and tickets are $15 / $17 (day of show).

Families play a role in addiction recovery.
When a spouse, child, or parent uses drugs, his or her actions impact the entire family. As a result, treatment for overcoming addiction should focus on the entire family unit. Each person needs support, understanding, and guidance.
Recognize the Impact on the Family
A person using drugs or alcohol may have physical symptoms. Mental health problems occur. Sometimes, individuals face life-threatening complications and overdose. They cannot hold down a job or begin to suffer financial distress. Yet, the signs of drug addiction's impact on the family may not be as obvious. Take a closer look.
The Impact on Kids: How Drug Use Hurts Children
The impact of drug abuse on children is clear. The impact starts with environmental risks, such as not being care for properly or lacking proper food, shelter, or support. Over time, these individuals may be exposed to dangerous situations as those using drugs become more dependent. Children may be at a higher risk of neglect or abuse, according to the National Institutes on Drug Abuse. They also may suffer emotional abuse, such as more fighting in the home. Drug exposure in children may make them more susceptible to drug use of their own as they get older.
The Impact on a Spouse: Individuals Suffer Within and Outside of Marriage
Substance abuse can be highly detrimental for a marriage. In any committed relationship, drug abuse can lead to stress, anxiety, and fear. It can create financial distress, which leads to fighting and stress. Over time, emotional issues occur. One spouse cannot count on the other for support. A lack of trust develops.
High stress situations can lead to abuse and neglect of either person. Divorce may seem like a solution in some cases, but many fear leaving their loved one. Could this individual survive without their support? And, in other cases, financial strain makes this hard to do.
The Impact of Drug Abuse on a Parent: Self-Blame Can Occur
A parent of a person using drugs or alcohol at addictive levels may also experience intense situations. Even if they have an adult child, if that individual is abusing drugs, he or she may be dependent on a parent for financial assistance. The parent may hold a significant amount of self-inflicted pain.
Over time, this type of dependency situation can tax the relationship. It creates emotional abuse, financial destruction, and mental anguish. Parents may be at risk of suffering from anxiety, fear, and frustration over the child's abuse.
The Family Must Go Through the Addiction Recovery Process
To heal and overcome addiction, each family member will need to work through the addiction recovery process. While only the individual faces the physical component of this process, each family member must deal with the impact it has had on them. They need to:
- Admit a problem exists.
- Find the right type of support for their needs.
- Work through the emotional components of addiction and dependency.
- Seek out support from others.
- Maintain ongoing therapy to support their individual needs.
Though it may seem simplistic enough, the entire process can be draining and difficult. However, the reward can be well worth it.
The Importance of Family Therapy in Substance Abuse Recovery
Recognizing the challenges the entire family faces when it comes to drug abuse is an important first step. From there, seeking comprehensive treatment for the whole family is necessary. The individual using drugs or alcohol must take the first step in entering treatment and detoxing, but family members should seek their own counseling and support as well.
From there, the need to develop a strong family treatment plan is important. Instead of targeted treatment for just one person, this type of therapy aims to address the group as a whole and how each member of the family contributes to a solution. Each person will need to understand their role, their needs, and their impact.
It is important to understand that family therapy is not about placing blame or pointing figures. It is about understanding what happened, forgiving, healing, and moving forward.

text: News Commissioning Love Island for 9Now and 9Go a 'massive risk' says Nine's Adrian Swift February 14, 2018 11:09 by Zoe Samios 0 The decision to commission a multi-million dollar program for a multi channel and digital platform is a "massive risk", according to Nine's head of content production and development, Adrian Swift.Despite the risk, Swift – the man behind the commissioning of Nine's highly successful show Ninja Warrior last year – is hopeful the show will bring young Australians back to television.He told Mumbrella the funding for the show, which comes from social, catch up and linear broadcast, was a first for the network, but said it was a "perfect" program for the local market. Adrian Swift, Nine's content boss with Sophie Monk, host of Love Island Australia last night at the launch ADVERTISEMENT Nine's decision to launch an Australian version of the popular UK dating show came after Nine ran the latest series on its 9Now platform last year. It was the most-binged show on 9Now in the history of the platform."It's a massive risk, because you've got fewer eyeballs coming in, your return for a set of eyeballs is lower, which is just the way the Australian ad market is configured. All broadcast TV on main channels is a broad market play. This is the first pure demographic play we've done online," he explained at last night's Love Island launch."We've spent probably 15-20 years in this country, let's call it 10 years or 15 since the multi channels, getting less money for channels that deliver a narrower demographic. We actually think the tide is turning and we are getting to the point where we actually think we can charge more for a more defined demographic.""The one fundamental thing you have to say about Love Island is it's actually brought kids back to TV. They came back in a number of ways. They came back with linear broadcast, they mostly came back through catch up, they came back on social. But TV was the big marketing platform and people then assessed the show however they liked."The show will see young Australians venture to Majorca, Spain to 'find love'. In order to win a sum of money, the Australians will have to couple up and convince the public to keep them on the island. The Australian version will be hosted by former Bachelorette star Sophie Monk. Love Island will screen on 9Go and 9Now At the launch, Swift described it as a show which captures "all of the things" Nine does."At the heart is this fantastic building, The Villa, which is a little like The Block. There's all that fabulous heartfelt drama, chaos and tension, a little bit like Married At First Sight. It's got a fantastic voiceover, not unlike Hamish & Andy, but best of all it's got all the abs of Ninja. We think it's a show that genuinely embodies everything we do and a lot more," he told the audience.Adding to this, Swift confirmed to Mumbrella that Nine would not change the format of the show for the Australian audience."We've sat with the UK market. It took them three series. Their first series was a mild success, their second series was a moderate hit, their third series went absolutely totally gangbusters that no one, the producers, the ad sales department, the people printing the t-shirts could keep up with it. That's the series we are effectively taking on here," he said."It's a beautiful example of a hard core dating show with hotter people than you've ever seen in your life, somewhere you really want to go. What could possibly go wrong?"While Swift would not confirm the length, frequency or cost of the new series, he did admit it wasn't a "badly priced format"."The reality is that by now, the way you shoot these shows, we've learnt so much."With all these things the cost comes in getting the right place. So getting the right villa has been massively expensive and complicated and getting the right talent will be a long, torturous process."When asked about expectations for the show in terms of audience numbers, Swift said he would be looking both the VPM (video player measurement) and 9Go numbers would be of value to him."The reality is we monetise really well on VPM. That's just as important to us as linear broadcast. This is a show where you'll be looking at every way people consume the show because we will be looking to advertisers to monetise the show on every platform.""I reckon it'll be about 30% VPM, 30% broadcast and 40% the rest."

In Korean this dish is called "hobakjuk," which can technically refer to zucchini or winter squash porridge. However, it most commonly refers to a porridge that celebrates the sweet winter squash called danhobak (it is also known as kabocha squash). The short-grain brown rice in this dish is a plant-based way to enhance its silky creamy texture.
MIND diet foods: Vegetables, Whole Grains, Nuts
- ½ cup sweet brown rice
- 1 medium kabocha squash, about 4 lbs measured whole
- 6 cups of water, ½ cup of water
- Salt to taste
- Recommended garnishes: jujube (red dates), sliced; pine nuts, roasted sesame seeds
- Optional: honey
- ½ cup sweet rice flour
- 5 tablespoons of water
- Rinse and drain brown rice in cool water 3 to 5 times. Soak rice in clean water for at least 1 hour (can be done a day ahead).
- Preheat oven to 400F, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, soften the squash. Wash squash well, then pierce several times with a fork or knife and place in a large microwave safe bowl with 3 inches of water. Cook for 4 minutes. Flip the squash over, and cook for another 4 minutes. Let squash rest until cool enough to handle, then cut into 2-4 pieces and toss with a neutral oil, then place cut side down on a lined baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes. Let rest until cool enough to handle, then remove skins. It's 6-8 cups.
- While squash is roasting, make the thickening liquid. Drain soaked rice and add to blender with ½ cup of water. Blend on high until liquified, and set aside until ready to use. Quickly rinse out the blender.
- Blend the squash in batches, gradually adding 6 cups of water, until smooth. Move blended squash to a large pot and heat on low.

- Heat 5 tablespoons of water, e.g. in microwave or tea kettle.
- Place rice flour in a medium bowl and stir in hot water gradually until cool enough to handle, then knead dough for a few minutes.
- Pinch off a ½ teaspoon at a time and roll dough between palms to form small balls (makes about 30 of them)
- Drop into boiling water for 1-2 minutes, until they float
- Remove rice cake dumplings with a slotted spoon and place in cold water bath until ready to use
- Pour soup into bowls, add a few rice cake dumplings to each, and garnish as desired. Drizzle with honey if using. Enjoy.
Citrus-Kissed Sweet Potato Hash Salad
This breakfast salad is one part left-overs, one part citrusy-goodness, and one part flawless sunny side up egg. Take last night's roasted sweet potatoes and create something new in the morning by combining with organic baby spinach, and zesty orange-balsamic vinaigrette, and a surprise twist: granny smith apples.
These flavors sing together. Put an egg on it, and you've got all the protein (and brain-boosting choline) and beta-carotene rich veggie power you'll need to get your day started on the right foot.
MIND diet foods: Leafy greens, other vegetables, olive oil
- 1 large organic sweet potato, 10-12" (mine was 1 lb 4 oz)
- ½ large red onion, diced
- ⅓ cup (approx) olive oil, divided into 1 tbsp, 4 tbsp, 1-2 tsp
- ½ tsp cumin
- 1 orange, zest and juice (2 tbsp orange juice, 1 tsp orange zest. You may have extra)
- ½ tsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 green apple
- 5 oz pre-washed organic baby spinach (about 6-8 cups loosely packed)
- 4 eggs
- 8 sprigs Italian parsley
- Preheat oven to 450.
- While the oven is preheating, wash and dry all produce, and prep the hash.
- Remove any eyes from the sweet potato leaving as much skin intact as possible.
- Dice the sweet potato (makes about 4 cups) and red onion (makes about 1 cup), then combine in a large bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil, cumin, salt and pepper.
- On a large baking sheet, arrange in a single layer and roast for 25 minutes, turning about halfway through.
- While the potatoes roast, make the dressing. Whisk together 4 tbsp olive oil, orange juice, orange zest, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice green apple into thin slices or cubes (makes about 1 cup) and toss with a little bit of orange juice to keep from browning.
- In a large bowl, combine baby spinach, parsley, and dressing to coat.
- Fold in the apples.
- Heat 1-2 tsp olive oil in a pan on low heat.
- Divide dressed salad in 4 bowls.
- Slowly crack eggs into the frying pan to reduce egg white spreading and heat over low heat until whites become opaque (3-4 minutes). Season with salt to taste.
- Divide hash on top of the 4 salads, and top each with an egg.
- Garnish with any extra parsley or orange zest, if desired
Sunshine Vegan Breakfast Salad
The bright and tangy, yet creamy and rich avocado-lime dressing contrasts with aromatically sweet mango, buttery avocado, raw almonds, and perfect blueberries in this sunshine-inspired breakfast salad. The bed of baby red butter lettuce makes a gentle base. Every bit of this unique breakfast salad sets you up for a great day.
The plant protein in the almonds keep blood sugar even, while the mango and blueberries provide polyphenols, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to energize you. In recent research on brain health, leafy greens, nuts, berries, and olive oil all helped protect the brain against cognitive decline — and they're all right here in this morning delight.
MIND diet foods: Leafy greens, olive oil, nuts, berries
- 1 medium mango
- 2 large limes
- 1 medium avocado
- 10 sprigs of cilantro
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 5 oz pre-washed baby red butter lettuce (about 6-8 cups, loosely packed)
- 6 oz organic blueberries (about 1¼ cups)
- ½ cup almonds
- salt and pepper to taste
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Peel the mango, slice away two large "cheeks" of the mango and slice thinly lengthwise. It ends up being about 1 and ¼ cups loosely packed.
- Peel away the green of a lime, avoiding the bitter white pith, and mince (or use a zester) to make 1 tsp of zest (part of one lime), set aside.
- Cut the limes in half and juice to make 3 tbsp juice. Save the leftover lime halves.
- Cut the avocado in half, discard the seed, and peel away the skin. Use leftover lime halves to squeeze lime juice over the avocado to keep it from browning.
- Make the dressing. Using a hand-blender (or small blender/ food processor), combine half the avocado, lime zest, lime juice, cilantro, and olive oil in a tall mixing glass, and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Makes about 3 oz of dressing.
- In a large bowl, combine lettuce, mango, blueberries, and almonds with dressing. Plastic gloves help.
- Slice the remaining half of avocado widthwise.
- Divide salad and among 4 bowls, about 1-2 cups into each bowl. Top with avocado slices. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
Strawberrry and Pineapple Plate with Whiskey-Ginger Drizzle
It's almost spring, it's almost spring, it's almost spring!
While I normally think of berries and summer in the same breath, the exception is strawberries. I know they're available year-round, but in southern California, the best berries from local farms come out in late April, early May. I can't wait.
The MIND diet calls for berries twice a week. Here's a simple snack that gets elevated by a fancy drizzle. Honestly, I'd happily eat this with or without the drizzle, but it does add something so special and surprising.
Let me know if you give it a try!
- ¼ cup whiskey
- ½ tsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp freshly shredded ginger
- 1 tbsp pineapple juice
- ¼ cup pineapple slices
- 8 strawberries
- Optional garnishes: pink Himalayan salt, mint
- Combine whiskey, olive oil, vanilla, ginger, pineapple juice, and a pinch of salt. Let rest for at least 10 minutes, but 30 minutes or more is better.
- Arrange pineapple slices and strawberries on a plate, and drizzle liquid mixture over.
- Garnish with pink salt and mint leaves, if desired.
Jeweled Holiday Acorn Squash
Come Christmas time, my family gathers at my parents' home in southern California. There's a single pomegranate tree in our backyard, and every winter my mom saves the best one for me. This simple side dish is a way to honor those jewels of winter. I always try to make something simple, seasonal, delicious and vibrantly healthy (and okay, I also want it to be photogenic). Ultimately, I want my loved ones to live long and healthy lives, so tasty yet ridiculously healthy food is my love language. Bonus: this dish is so simple, you won't be stuck (or getting in anyone's way) in the kitchen for long.
Tip: Use a circular ravioli or cookie cutter to remove seeds from each ring. This makes it easy to have a visually pleasing center cutout with clean edges.
Curried Acorn Squash with Pistachios and Pomegranates
Prep: 15 min | Cook: 20 min | Rest: 10 min | Total: 45 min
Serves: 6
2 small acorn squash, 2-3 lbs each, cut into 1″ rings (about 3 rings per squash)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 cup pomegranate arils (1 small pomegranate; you may have extra)
1/2 cup pistachio kernels
Salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat the oven to 400ºF for at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, wash and dry the produce. Remove pomegranate arils by quartering the pomegranate and loosening arils from the skin underwater in a large bowl; drain. On a large baking sheet, arrange acorn squash rings in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil, curry powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss to combine. Add to oven and bake for 20 minutes, or to desired doneness (fork should easily pierce the skin). Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes, season to taste. Transfer to serving platter and generously garnish with pistachios and pomegranate arils. Serve immediately.
MIND diet foods: Vegetables, olive oil, nuts, berries
Coconut Sorghum with Warm Curry and Delicata Squash
This is a summer-to-fall transitional dish that firmly plants its flag in the I-want-it-to-be-fall camp. Earthy whole-grain sorghum and delicata squash make it decidedly so. Still, in the heady early days of October, many areas of the country will still be going through intermittent warm spells, which means fresh flavors like cucumber, baby spinach, chives, and mint are all still welcome. The warm (and anti-inflammatory) spices of curry, chili, and ginger are enveloped by a blend of coconut and almond milks. (Using a little bit of full-fat coconut milk and a lot more almond milk means great flavor with a ton of calorie savings).Ready for fall, but still feels like summer? This coconut sorghum and squash dish with cucumbers and mint has got you covered! #minddiet #brainfood @simplysorghum Click To Tweet
Tip: Sorghum isn't always easy to find! Your best bet is to stop by your local Whole Foods, or to order directly from Bob's Red Mill.
MIND foods: Leafy greens, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, olive oil
Prep: 15-30 min | Cook: 1 hr 10 min | Total: 1 hr 15 min
Serves: 4
Coconut Sorghum
1 cup dry sorghum, rinsed
3/4 cup coconut milk
2 1/4 cups almond milk (I used this unsweetened almond milk with a touch of coconut milk)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 T olive oil
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 T curry powder
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp chili powder
3/4 cup coconut milk
2 cups almond milk
3 T rice wine vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
1 medium delicata squash
1 T olive oil, and a little more to oil the sheet pan
Pinch of curry powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Base and Garnishes
4 cups baby spinach, lightly packed (I used a pre-washed product)
1 8-inch cucumber, cut into rounds or thinly sliced with mandolin
2 T marcona almonds
2-3 chives, finely chopped
10-15 mint leaves, torn or cut into strips just before eating
Optional: Red chili flakes
Prep. Wash and dry all fresh produce. Preheat the oven to 375F. Measure out all ingredients.
Make the sorghum. Combine all Coconut Sorghum ingredients with a large pinch of salt in a large pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower heat to a simmer and cover for 50-60 minutes, or until cooked to desired doneness.
Meanwhile, make the curry. Heat oil in a large saucepan – non-stick if you have one – until hot. Add onions and stir occasionally until soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and spices and stir constantly for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add liquids (coconut milk, almond milk, mirin), and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Lower to a simmer for 30 minutes or to desired thickness. Season to taste.
While sorghum and curry simmer, make the squash. Lightly oil a medium sheet pan. Cut the squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Cut into 1-inch half-rings. In a large bowl, toss squash with olive oil, salt, pepper, and curry powder to coat. Arrange on sheet pan in a single layer. Roast for 5-6 minutes on one side, flip over and return to oven to roast another 5-6 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces through the flesh. Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes.
Plate. Make a bed of baby spinach. Spoon coconut-sorghum over greens. Place delicata squash on top. Drizzle with curry (any extra can be served on the side). Garnish with cucumbers, almonds, chives, and mint. If using red chili flakes, sprinkle a pinch over dish or serve on the side for individuals to use to taste. Enjoy.
Tip: One 13.5-ounce can of coconut milk will be enough for this recipe; simply divide between sorghum and curry recipes.
Tip: Once served, guide guests to stir their ingredients around as the warm ingredients will wilt the spinach and infuse it with curry flavors.
Fig & Fennel Citrus Salad
This simple salad is aromatic thanks to the fennel, bright thanks to the orange segments, peppery thanks to the arugula, earthy and sweet thanks to the figs, and pleasantly tart and complex thanks to the raspberry-balsamic vinaigrette. There's no sugar added – or needed – due to all the big vibrant flavors. You'll enjoy the medley of tastes and textures while meeting your veggie quota for the day (read: fiber, antioxidants, vitamin C, folate, vitamin E, and more).
MIND foods: Leafy greens, vegetables, berries, olive oil
Prep: 10-15 min | Cook: 5 min | Total: 15-20 min
Serves: 4
Salad Ingredients
4 cups baby arugula, lightly packed (I used a pre-washed product)
1 medium bulb fennel, stalks trimmed and discarded, reserving fronds
1 medium orange, supreme segments (I used a Tangelo orange)
6 California mission figs, quartered lengthwise (substitute: your favorite fresh fig)
Raspberry Vinaigrette Ingredients
1 cup frozen raspberries
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup chopped onions
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Reserved orange juice, to taste
Wash and dry all fresh produce. Combine all dressing ingredients, except orange juice, in a food processor or blender until smooth; season to taste. Let sit for at least 10 minutes. (You will have extra dressing to enjoy for the rest of the week!) Meanwhile, quarter your fennel bulb. Cut out the tough root and heart with a diagonal slice and discard. Thinly slice the remaining white bulb on the diagonal to make thin strips. To supreme your orange, cut off the top and bottom, then with one flat side down securely on the cutting board, slice away the remaining peel. Cut flesh-only segments out of the orange. Squeeze the juice out of the remaining orange core and reserve. Optional: taste dressing and add orange juice, slowly, to taste.
To plate, toss or gently layer arugula, fennel, fennel fronds, citrus, and figs. Drizzle with dressing. Season to taste. Serve immediately.
Tip: Using a funnel, pour the finished dressing into a squeeze bottle to make it easier to handle.
Tip: Reserve some of the fig pieces, orange segments, and fennel fronds, and place as deliberate garnishes to add appeal to your dish.

Writing a Corruption Essay
This post was provided by EssayExamples.info, a professional essay and research paper help for students who need a valuable piece of advice on writing a corruption essay.
There are different ways to tackle a corruption essay. First, you can decide to write an informative essay that aims to educate your readers on what corruption really is, where it comes from, and how corruption can be remedied. Second, you can write an argumentative essay on why corruption is one of the biggest problems that countries, both developed and developing, should address by citing the numerous nationwide effects of having a system of corrupt practices in place.
Identifying Corruption
For every type of corruption essay that you write, it helps to draw the line between corruption and other undesirable practices that government officials engage in. Corruption, as defined by most bodies of authority, is the misuse of government power for illegitimate private gain.
Corruption comes in many forms and is resorted to by different individuals and institutions in the government. It can be greed-based, or the type of corruption engaged in by high-level government officials, or need-based, a more desperate kind of corruption that workers in the rank and file resort to because their present income as it is isn't enough to get them through.
Common forms of corruption are: bribery, influence peddling, political patronage, nepotism, cronyism, electoral fraud, embezzlement, kickbacks, involvement in an unholy alliance, and organized crimes.
Greed-based and Need-based Corruption
A more powerful corruption essay is one that tries to expose the root of the problem so that we can create ways to banish it entirely. Although there are several theories that try to explain the existence of corruption, there are no hard-and-fast rules as to why it is there. This is the reason why corruption is such a difficult problem to solve. The challenge in writing a corruption essay that takes this angle is choosing at least one cause of corruption, explaining why it causes such a problem, and providing suggestions on how it can be remedied.
The following are conditions that encourage corruption:
- A system that restricts business and economic opportunities
- Huge discretionary powers for government officials but not enough mechanisms to ensure accountability and transparency
- An uneducated voter base
- Lack of access to high-quality information and irresponsible media reporting
- Poor government control, a weak rule of law, and an easily swayed judicial branch of the government
- Family and clan-centered social structure
Effects of Corruption on a Nation
Often, writers cite the debilitating effects of a phenomenon to persuade their readers to take action. If this is where you want to go with your corruption essay, there is a whole array of options for you to take. Corruption, especially one that is deeply ingrained into the culture of a people, has massive, destructive effects on a country. These effects can be economic, environmental, and social and can have a lasting impact on a nation.
When writing this kind of essay, remember to cite remedial measures that a country can take to stem the growth of the culture of corruption and hopefully to counter it. It would be useless to dish out a dreary list of the problematic effects of corruption without shedding a ray of hope for the reader that this problem can at least be cured.

Tableau de calligraphie. Munich: Anton Dreer, 1816.
Large folio engraved broadsheet (775 x 590 mm.) of calligraphic samples, with five engraved vignettes. Thick wove paper, deckle edges. Fine condition.***
A splendid calligraphic sample, beautifully preserved. The imprint states that it was "composed, engraved and published by J. B. Seitz." Seitz was an engraver for the Royal Bavarian Bureau of Statistics and Topography (Königlichen Bayrischen Statistisch-Topographischen Bureau), which was responsible for the manufacture of official maps and plans. He was one of the first technicians to work on the trial production of lithographed maps. The present rare sample-sheet was presumably produced for cartographic institutes, publishers and mapmakers. The sub-title "Alphabets of Languages the most customary" is in German, English, French and Italian, and the remaining captions, all in different ornamented scripts, are in German and French. Included are ornate alphabets in Fraktur, several different italics (dubbed English, Italian and French Letter), gothic, roman, and Greek alphabets, and German Currentschrift. Three of the fine engraved vignettes, arrayed down the center of the sheet, are pictorial. At top is a romantic landscape in which a plaque leaning on a tree bears the (appropriate) motto "Nihil est Simul et Inventum et Perfectum." The others show a funerary monument in a pastoral glade, and a military trophy with the emblematic initials of Rome (SPQR) and motto below "Et arte vivitur patriae."
I locate no other copies. On Seitz, cf. R. A. Winkler, Die Frühzeit der deutschen Lithographie (1975), 709. Item #2965

December 2011 – Bile Duct Surgery Tomorrow
As you know, Lil' Sophie's had a nice break from surgeries. We've been able to use this as an opportunity to catch up.
Physical Therapy brought her a brand-new walker (previously mentioned), which she is LOVING. She's exploring all kinds of things and never stops moving. The mall is her favorite place to go and she takes off in the big open spaces.
Occupational Therapy is working on strengthening her hands & shoulders as well as food exploration. Thanksgiving dinner was a great opportunity to push her taste-bud pallet. She's embraced it all, but so far her current favorite is Chinese food & anything spicy.
We continue to work with her on speech. Lil' Sophie has taken to mimicking sounds & talks jibberish. She's even digressed from the words and signs she used to use. It seems that she's concentrating so hard on trying to walk that speech has fallen behind. Her behavior proves that she understands a lot. Sophie responds well to the Developmental Therapist and will often do what she's asked, including say 'more' & sign 'please'. But of course, ignore mommy and daddy's request to do the same.
It seems as if she's right on track for selective hearing of a two-year-old!
On a more serious note, tomorrow Sophie has surgery again on her bile duct. This will be the surgeons fifth attempt at trying to make this connection.
We are asking people to pray with us that this surgery will be successful – that the surgeons will be able to connect the bile duct properly, things will go smoothly, & Sophie will recover quickly. Surgery is scheduled at 9:00am, and I'll update when I can.
Thank you so much for your prayers and support as we continue this journey.
