Nearly 2/3rds of all lettuce we eat is iceberg. Unfortunately, iceberg has far fewer nutrients than any other lettuce type. For example, romaine has 2x the fiber, 17x the vitamin A, 8x the vitamin C, 4x the vitamin K, and 5x the folate of iceberg lettuce! With numerous lettuces available in your produce department that are more flavorful and nourishing than iceberg, I think it's time we start changing our lettuce habits.
Lettuce and salad greens are often used interchangeably because they are eaten in a similar way. While lettuce is a type of salad green, there are many greens, including arugula, cabbage, dandelion, kale, and spinach, that are not lettuce. In general, lettuce is generally tenderer, with a milder flavor than most other salad greens. While all salad greens are great additions to your diet, the following is a description of common lettuces you'll find in your grocery store and how to start using them.
- Butter/Boston – Butterhead lettuces are one of the more tender varieties available and come in small heads. They lack the stiff center rib of many other lettuces which gives them a smooth texture…smooth as, well, butter.
HOW TO USE: Butter lettuce is often used in lettuce wraps because the leaves are pliable and easy to roll. It also makes a great addition to salads or other dishes when you don't want the texture of the lettuce to detract.
CAUTION: butterhead have a mildly sweet flavor that can work well to compliment your dish or can detract when a bitterer flavor is needed.
- Red & Green Leaf Lettuce – The nutrition and flavor of red and green lettuce are very similar. The mature leaves have a crunchy stem with soft, delicate leaves. The leaves are wavy and can contribute a unique texture to a dish.
HOW TO USE: Chopped, leaf lettuce has a unique texture that makes it a great choice for salads and wraps. It also has a mild flavor that works for both sweet and savory dishes. While it works on sandwiches, the difference in texture between the stem and leaf can be a turnoff for some.
CAUTION: Some claim that red lettuce is more prone to spoilage but the aesthetic appeal of the color may be worth the slightly reduced lifespan.
- Romaine – Romaine has a crunchy texture throughout the leaf. It will last the longest of any lettuce (besides iceberg) in your fridge so don't be afraid to buy this lettuce in bulk.
HOW TO USE: Romaine is commonly used in Caesar salads but works well anytime a crunchy texture is desired. Due to its hardy nature, romaine is one of the few lettuces that can be cooked with good results. Try roasting entire heads or stir-frying the torn leaves.
CAUTION: When all excess water is removed, chopped romaine can last for a week or longer in the fridge without going brown or losing its crunch. Tearing, rather than cutting, causes less damage to the leaves and can prolong its life even more!
- Spring mix – Incorporating a balance of mild and bold flavors as well as a variety of colors and textures, spring mix is one of the most popular mixes. Spring mix contains lettuces and greens, both of which are immature, making them tenderer than their mature varieties but just as nutritious.
HOW TO USE: Found in ready to wash containers, these are an easy base for salads, great to throw on sandwiches, or can be chopped and mixed with pastas or grains. The greens impart a bold and often peppery flavor when used in a dish.
CAUTION: Due to their tender nature, the lettuces and greens in spring mix won't hold up in your fridge or under high heat cooking as well as other prewashed mixes, lettuces, and greens.
Whether using butterhead for its smooth texture, red or green leaf for their wavy but delicate leaves, romaine for its crunch, or spring mix for its ease and bold flavor, substituting these for iceberg will provide a more nourishing and satisfying meal.

The draft of the Strategic Plan for Development of Energy Sector of the Republic of Armenia (till 2040) received 75% of the votes on the united website of the publication of draft legal acts. This project, developed by Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure of the Republic of Armenia, was published for discussions on www.e-draft.am on December 6-12, 2019.
According to the draft strategy, 12 billion kWh of electricity will be generated by average 7 billion kWh of electricity produced in the Republic of Armenia in the recent years, by 2026, 12 billion kWh of electricity will be produced, out of which 45-50% will be export instead of the current 15%.
Armenian electricity is mainly produced in three types: nuclear, hydro and thermal stations, out of which 39% is produced by the nuclear power plant, 60% is almost equally produced by hydro and thermal plants. The share of all other plants in the electricity system is up to 1%.
According to the project, the ANPP's activity remains a priority for the power generation. "By 2022, the investment program on the extension of ANPP lifetime will be accomplished, with the result that $ 300 million will be invested and the plant will be extended to 2026.
If the safe operation of the nuclear power plant after 2026 is substantiated by relevant studies, the government intends to operate it by 2036, which is expected to require an additional $150 million investment," the draft strategy states.
It is also planned to accomplish the construction and launch of the following stations by 2023:
1. Yerevan SHPP-2: 250 MW, release by 2022 ($ 250 Million Investment)
2. Masrik-1 Solar Photovoltaic Station - 55 MW, release by 2022 ($ 60 million investment);
3. SHPPs: 28 Stations, 60 MW, release by 2023 ($ 60 million investment)
4. Small Solar Stations: 29 Stations, 102 MW, Release by 2022.
It is envisaged that the number of these stations will be doubled in the coming year and by 2023 the total installed capacity of such stations will be 210 MW.
At the same time, according to the draft strategy, the Government of the Republic of Armenia intends to increase the share of solar energy production to 10% by 2026 (1.2 billion kWh of 700 MW solar power generation).
It should be noted that the draft of Strategic Plan for the Development of Energy Sector of the Republic of Armenia (till 2040) is currently under development.

Using Implementation Science to Translate Foundation Strategy
New strategies sometimes require foundations to shift their staffing, organizational structures, administrative processes, and, possibly, their culture. The field of implementation science offers guidance to foundations as they effectively implement strategies that depart from prevailing practice.
This article focuses on two specific tools from implementation science: the practice profile and the Implementation Drivers Assessment. The practice profile answers the question, "What does the strategy require of particular foundation staff?" The implementation drivers analysis explores the broader question, "What does the strategy require in the way of organizational change within the foundation?"
These two tools were used by the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust in implementing its place-based initiative, Healthy Places NC. In the process the tools brought to light a number of fundamental misalignments, which were resolved by shifting the organization rather than retreating on the strategy.

Massage: What it is and Where it Came From
Many people think of massage as a touchy-feely or purely for relaxation experience, but in reality Manual Medicine is one of the most ancient healing modalities. In addition, it is easily one of the most sustainable forms of medicine available.
Massage, in it's various forms, has been noted by historians and used by people for it's healing effects for as long as there has been civilization. Ever heard of the 'power of touch'? This philosophy of treatment, where touch is applied to the patient using oils, aromatics, various tools, or just with the hands in specific patterns, has been used since the time of ancient China. The original Chinese treatment form was called "Amma" or "Anma". Today Chinese medicine uses a form of massage called Tui Na. Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, wrote in 460 BC "The physician must be experienced in many things, but assuredly in rubbing" a reference to the importance of manual therapies even in the ancient world.
What it does:
Throughout the millennia, as people have discovered more about the human body, manual therapies have evolved and specialized. Massage promotes the body's innate ability to heal itself. One of the main effects of massage is the down-regulation of the sympathetic (fight/flight) nervous system allowing for proper rest and recovery.
Massage itself takes on many forms, names, and intents depending on the country of origin, who taught it, and even the practitioner. What all forms work with, no matter what the purpose of the treatment, is the soft and connective tissues of the body. The main tissue treated is muscle and the musculoskeletal system, the largest system in the body. Other structures worked with are tendons, ligaments, fascia, joints, cartilage, and even organs.
Light and Relaxing Massage has been shown to improve circulation, lymph drainage, and decrease hypertension (high blood pressure), anxiety and depression. This facilitates the healing abilities of the body and works very well in conjunction with other modalities and treatment options. Read more on flexuron.
Deeper massage is shown to loosen muscle, and break up tendon and ligament adhesions. This helps with proper healing of wounds through aligning scar tissue and removing restrictions.
Massage is a great option to speed the healing process after a major surgery or accident.
The Goal of Massage treatments is to remove restrictions of all sorts. Restrictions and damage to the soft tissues can be the cause of much pain and restricted movement in the body.
Remedial or Orthopaedic Massage:
Remedial massage, also know as Orthopaedic Massage, as the name implies is about finding a Remedy (remedial=remedy) for your pain. This is one of the most clinical and thourough treatment options. Working with a detailed assessment process, this branch of manual medicine looks for the root cause of the pain. It works holistically by treating the cause or underlying dysfunction to allow the person to heal fully, not just cover the pain.
Practitioners will commonly provide home care advice, and exercises to help to patient improve even without direct treatment.
Treatment techniques used are dependent on the diagnosis by the practitioner. But some techniques are:
Massage (Relaxation/Swedish Techniques)
Muscle Manipulation
Compressions (similar to Acupressure or Shiatsu)
Trigger Point Release (for 'knots')
Joint Mobilizations (for join dysfunction, similar in purpose to Chiropractic)
Myofascial Dry Needling
All it takes for the basic forms of treatment is one person who knows what they are doing. Treatments can be done sitting, standing, or lying down. Traditional Shiatsu still uses just a thin mat on the ground and oils can be used but are not necessary. Massage can be taught by someone knowledgeable and is easily practiced once you know the basics. Even the most inexperienced therapist can improve circulation and healing time simply by just giving the skin a rub. On the other hand a skilled practitioner can work with very complicated conditions, such as dysfunction in the diaphragm and joint degeneration. One practitioner can teach a class and have them working to clear oedema and improve limb circulation in under a month, while decreasing pain, and providing relaxation and relief in those with more serious conditions.
Some conditions that can be treated, or helped with, Massage Techniques are:
Neurological symptoms: Numbness, tingling, nausea, migraines
Lower Back Pain
Disc Prolapse
Joint Pain
Acute Pain
Restricted Movement
Scar Tissue
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
Plantar Fasciitis
Frozen Shoulder
Digestive Upset
General Pain Relief
Massage will be a very important tool in the future as it is a modality that lends itself to be easily taught and used with very little resources, and has a quick turn-over of students who can practice in a basic method very quickly. This makes it one of the most sustainable forms of medicine.

Armenians Protest Being Called Arminians
Arminianism holds to the following beliefs: Humans are naturally unable to make any effort towards salvation Salvation is possible by grace alone Works of human effort cannot cause or contribute to salvation God's election is conditional on faith in Jesus Jesus' atonement was for all people God allows his grace to be resisted by those unwilling to believe Salvation can be lost, as continued salvation is conditional upon continued faith This is 100% different in the Armenian Church and that is why Armenians are protesting against being perceived as such.

Continuing its innovation in MFP space, Samsung customers can now integrate secure communication across mobile, MFP, and PC
Chelmsford, MA — Biscom, the leader in secure enterprise document delivery for regulated industries, today announced the development of its secure fax app for Samsung UX multi-function printers (MFPs). The app is the first certified 3rd party app approved to run on the Samsung platform.
For enterprises relying on fax, the huge amounts of personal information that is transferred via fax must be secure according to HIPAA, COPPA, SOX, and other regulations. As a company that specializes in mission critical, secure fax for these regulated industries, Biscom ensures that faxes are always delivered and that important information is protected in the process.
"Working with Biscom, we can now offer enterprise-level fax capabilities to all our MFP customers," said David SW Song, Senior Vice President of Printing Solutions Business at Samsung Electronics. "For many industries, the information through fax is important and must be sent securely. We are bringing them the peace of mind that comes with a best-in-class solution for delivering mission critical fax."
"Samsung offers a very intelligent approach to MFPs that allows for quick innovation," said Charles Magliato, VP Channel Development, Biscom. "We believe that Biscom's enterprise fax technology together with Samsung's advanced UX platform will give their customers the most secure fax solution available, now with increased simplicity, convenience, and visibility."
Deploying the Biscom's app also has cost-savings benefits. MFP customers who use the app can now eliminate fax phone lines and MFP fax boards. Biscom can be deployed with on premises fax servers, a cloud-based fax service or a hybrid fax solution. The app is available immediately to all Samsung MFP users.
Through its products, SFT, Verosync, and FAXCOM, Biscom is the recognized leader in providing secure document delivery solutions to industries requiring them most such as healthcare, financial services, and government. In addition to innovative products, Biscom was recently recognized as a finalist for the SC Magazine Award for Best Customer Service.

#116 Avoid the pain pitfalls
Ooooooh, I wish someone had told me about the most common pain pitfalls in the beginning of my patient career... This article on Today health MSNBC says exactly what I wanted to say, so I'm just reposting part of the text and adding the link:
"One major shift in thinking is that chronic pain is now believed to be a disease, not a symptom, and that treating pain is about not simply targeting the source but treating the whole person. Like heart disease or other chronic conditions, there's no magic bullet, so you need to draw on a number of approaches, from exercise and medication to relaxation techniques and talk therapy."

Not seeing the answer you need?
What is Game Show Battle Rooms™?
Game Show Battle Rooms is one of the nation's only game show experiences available for everyone: friends, family, and coworkers! We provide an immersive game show arena, engaging hosts, and a mix of different game shows to create an unforgettable experience. Perfect for birthday parties, friend or family outings, corporate team-building events, bachelor(ette) parties, cub scouts, clubs, sports teams or just for fun! The experience is best when you have at least 8 people, and we can host groups up to 64!
How does this work?
When you arrive onsite to our game show location with your group, we spilt you up into two teams - a red team and a blue team. You pick out a fun team name, fill out your game show name tags, and we prep you to face-off. We bring you into the custom games show arena and you play three different game show games. Each round of the game show is worth a "Battle Point". The team with the most Battle Points at the end of the game show is considered the game show champion! The winning team gets their picture taken and put on the Champions Wall of Fame in the lobby for eternal bragging rights!
What are your new COVID-19 safety policies?
The safety of our guests and team members and community are paramount. We are open and have enhanced cleaning and disinfecting between each and every show.

If your group is 20+ people, and your original booking is for 20+ people then it will be 1.5 hours in the game show arena, and teams will rotate between being the contestant and the audience. Please note that if your original booking is for 19 or less people, you will not receive a 1.5 hour experience if you show up with more than 19 people on your game show day. Increasing a show to a 1.5 hour experience is subject to scheduling availability and also would require minimum one week prior notification to the manager, confirmation, and advanced payment of the extra guests. Thank you for your understanding, as 1.5 hour shows have significant impact on staff and scheduling of shows and availability and preparation is needed for everything to run smoothly.
What about cancellations and rescheduling?
No refund will be provided if you want a cancellation or you are a no-show, but you may reschedule to a later available date if you give at least 48 hours notice by contacting us.
If there is extreme weather (ex. snow storms, tornadoes) we allow rescheduling day of for your safety and our staff safety. Send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com for the Minneapolis location or firstname.lastname@example.com for the Milwaukee location, or firstname.lastname@example.com for the KC/Overland Park location if you need to reschedule.
Do I need to sign a waiver form?
Yes, please complete the online waiver form in advance of coming by clicking on this link. For guests under 18 a parent must complete the online waiver form for them.
Can we bring food or drink into the room?
Minneapolis: no food or alcohol is allowed on premise. We recommend grabbing food and drinks before or after your show for the best experience.
Milwaukee: no food, but we do sell domestic and craft beer and pop/water that you can bring into the game show arena.
Kansas City: beer, pop, water, and other beverages for sell, along with some candy/snacks.
Are you wheelchair accessible?
Yes, there may be some restrictions on certain game show games though. We would recommend booking the "Classic Showdowns" room as it requires less moving around.
Are you hiring?
Yes, we are always looking for engaging game show hosts and audio/visual game show coordinators. If you're interested, please complete the online job application form on the bottom of the Contact page.
If I come back will the game show questions be different?
Yes, we continually have fresh game show questions/answers every month for each game show experience, as well as mix up the Time Rush Games (60 second skill challenges in Primetime Showdowns). We'd love to have you back again!
Are you opening another location?
We are currently seeking other locations and will keep you posted as soon as another location is about to open! We want to bring this fun concept to a city near you!

This is a unique, live event and just for fun, sorry no prizes, but if you're the game show champion you get eternal bragging rights! : )

2011 has just past, and things happened. Something happy, something inspiring, something upset and something depressive. I think a review would be good for me to remember and plan for the future. So I just list some of the most remarkable things here. Because I can not recall them in a right timeline, I simply list them here as follows:
- Got involved into "Astroleaks". I think this is a very good idea, gathering a group of graduate students, commenting on certain astro-ph papers recently posted. I contributed to the development of the web pages and also wrote three posts. Just like astrobites, both reading and writing are good to you in forming an astrophysical mode of thinking. It can gain your critical view of the papers and help you follow the new ideas and interesting results in a specific field. Additionally, I made some good friends via this website. They all have a great passion for astronomy. That gave me a lot of motivations to get fresh new ideas.
- Finished my courses. I may have no more exams for my courses from now on. And this ended my 17 years exam-life, although I may have some other exams in the future. Ain't this remarkable?
- Got a chance to Paris for 1.5 months. I think this will be the most exciting thing happened this year. With the help of Prof. Jiang (my boss), Mr Gao (my boss as well), and Prof. Alain. I got a chance to IAP for a study of aperture synthesis observation of high-z Herschel Lensed sources. I think I can learn a great lot both from Prof. Alain and this trip. This is an exciting topic, which will find some fancy new results of molecular contents at high-z galaxies, helping us understand what physical process is happening in this high-z galaxies. I am so happy to get this chance. Now, I am repairing my visa to France.
- Dr Weidong Li has passed away. This is the most astonishing news I heard this year. I still remember the first time and also the last time I saw him at the meeting held in our department in July. He taught us some life philosophy on how to do research and how to be a good person. In our view, he was one of the most successful astronomers in our department. He was the kind of person that we wanted to be. So after being informed his death on 15th, I was very sad. I think this is also telling us to take care of our body. Health is very important.
- Moved to Nanjing. As I planned from the start of my master candidate life, I will be a joint training student of BNU and PMO. So in August this year, I came here, PMO, joined the Star Formation In Galaxies Group and knew a lot of new friends and excellent research staffs here. Honestly speaking, I was going to be crazy for staying at BNU for any longer, more than 5 years, watching the same views, feeling the same feelings, and having the same ideas. I needed a new environment to get excited. After moving here, I learned a lot of new stuff, and also developed some new habits, "refreshing" my brains. And in next 1 year, will be the busiest, exciting and enjoyable year. I have a lot to do, have a lot to learn and have a lot to face.
In this very beginning of 2012, I made some wishes for me, for my family and for my friends. May your wish come true. Hope this 2012 will be a miraculous year.

On Thursday 14th February 25 KS1 children travelled to Moulton School to take part in a Superhero festival. Whilst there the children experienced a round robin of activities which introduced them to a range of different skills. Some of these were Tag Rugby, Kurling, Throwing, Jumping and Party Games. All the children behaved impeccably and represented KS1 very well.

This little porcelain mug uses a new drawing of Emily by the artist Clare Abbatt, together with the original RPSB emblem (Latin motto: Respicite Aves Coeli 'Look at the Birds of the Air'). It's a fundraiser for conservation work at Fletcher Moss Park in Didsbury, garden of the RSPB's Victorian founder Emily Williamson. It was here, at The Croft, that she held her first all-female tea party in 1889. Women signed a pledge to wear no feathers — and so the Society for the Protection of Birds was born. Read about my search for the elusive Emily Williamson here.

The enormously popular open source office suite LibreOffice has appeared in the Microsoft Store – with an alarming surprise. LibreOffice is an open source project and has always been free to download, even for commercial use, but the app in the Microsoft Store carries a price tag of $2.99/£2.49.
The app description suggests this is just a way for the software's creators to solicit donations, and selecting 'Free trial' rather than 'Buy' will download the full suite with no strings attached.
Read more: GoPlay Video Editor
However, Italo Vignoli of The Document Foundation informed Bleeping Computer that the non-profit organization had no connection to the third party '.net' that published the software.
Access all areas
LibreOffice's source code is freely available for anyone to edit, so it's unclear whether the program itself was manipulated before being shared on the store. However, we noticed that the app permissions request all system resources (including your camera, microphone and location) plus access to your internet connection, so it's not a risk worth taking.
If you want to try LibreOffice, grab it from the official site as a direct download or a torrent. You can also make a donation to support the project (which is completely optional) or get involved with the project's community of volunteers.

Hey everyone! It's Monday so that means it's time for a new Resource of the week!
Today's resource is a 101 on all things targeting preferences. Many of you will already be familiar with the concept the article covers, but it's always good to have a solid foundation of the basics.
Check it out and use this thread to share any questions you may have. Also let me know if you have any ideas for new topics you would like to see covered on Thumbtack Help.
@Drew Resource of the week is an interesting innovation. I am not all together clear on what it is about, though. I just noticed the existence of this thread and will stay current with it to better understand its nature and intent.
Recently, I have dipped my toe in the water and have implemented the Target feature for my services. Two are set for very specific towns in my state, as keeping limited geographic options is most prudent.
There is one facet that is curious: the minimum range setting for customers coming to me is defaulted for one mile. All my work is mobile; I go to the customer and never the other way around. I do not wish to be charged for any leads that match the other preferences and includes the aforementioned as a "preference". Thanks.

4. Choosing environmental policy instruments : Case studies of municipal waste policy in Sweden and England
Abstract : European governments have during the last couple of decades shown an interest in new types of environmental policy instruments (EPIs) such as environmental taxes, tradable permit schemes and voluntary approaches, as opposed to relying on traditional forms of regulation. The interest in so-called 'new' EPIs (NEPIs) has led many governments to commit both to a more diverse EPI mix and to a policy process characterised by procedural rationality, in terms of considering a wide range ofalternative instruments and assessing them in a systematic and transparent way.

The weekend after Kendra and the twins arrived home from a 15-day trip to Sacramento, I loaded up the twins and headed to the mountains. Leaving Kendra in her freshly cleaned house alone for a weekend was hard for me to be away from her, but happy for her to have some peace and quiet. Wouldn't it be funny to name my twins Peace and Quiet?
Anyway, this is my primo photo from the trip showing the sun, the forest, the river, the rustic railroad bridge and three smiling faces. We had a blast. No major injuries = successful camping trip.
but wait! there's more! Our next door neighbors joined us for the weekend. Clay, Kain, and Rowan made this a daddy campout times two. His wife stayed home as well so the six of us had a memorable time together.
We did some semi-dangerous things like walk out on a railroad bridge, knowing a train could come at any moment. The scenery was just too much to capture in a picture, but this is a decent representation of what we experienced. Our weekend in the Cascade mountains was much richer and different than I expected. The last many years of camping in the desert has it's own beauty, but setting up our tent next to several 60 foot tall trees was a whole new ball game.
On Saturday afternoon we took a trip into the small town of Skykomish. The names of many towns in Washington are Indian so they sound very odd to me. Anyway, we heard a tip from our campground host that they have free train rides. He was right! This ride-on train took a loop around the property. It was a longer ride than expected and that was a good thing. We all rode it once together and then the kids rode it without the dads twice.
There were two trains on separate tracks and this guy rode facing all the passengers every time. kind of creepy to be stared at the whole time, but not enough to deter us from riding it again.
The train conductor driving the train looks exactly like you might imagine one to appear. These are all volunteers and the nicest people you'll ever meet. The tunnel was super fun for Rowan, the five year old, as well as the bigger kids. Us dads screamed loudly as we passed through it, much to the embarrassment of the kids.
Back at camp we had a great fire both nights. wood was purchased at $6 per tiny bundle of logs from the camp host because although we were standing in a FOREST it is illegal to chop dead wood for logs. so here's us, following the laws because that's just what we do.
I brought an extra tent. I told Easton and Kain that if they want to stay in their own separate tent, then they have to put it up all by themselves. no whining, no instructions from me, and definitely no help from Layla, the extreme helper. Well, they did it in record time just as I expected. It's amazing how resourceful and full of grit these boys can be when there is something on the line.
As they were getting ready for bed they poked their heads out of the tent to keep the mosquitoes out while responding to Clay's instructions. this sums up their friendship really well. Easton has never had a best friend before, but these two get along so well and like to hang out every day if we let them.
These pictures are out of order because i'm lazy. just and FYI. When we first arrived at camp, Kain rode with us to stake out the camp sites and lay claim to one. We jointly decided on a sweet one between the main road and the railroad tracks... because all of them were in the same lousy location.
The saving grace was the river a few yards away from our tent. we went down to check the current and conditions. I staged this shot for grins. It's my favorite one of the trip too.
Layla and Easton brought their water socks because we are overly cautious parents who don't want our kid's feet being lacerated with glass or barnacles. Layla looks much older than nine. Some moments I look at her and think, "wow, she's already a young lady?!"
The only good part about the railroad tracks being so close is the excitement of watching a train go by. We were up close and personal with this train with 125 boxcars in it.
I requested Easton and Layla to hold hands and walk down the railroad tracks. This is not a normal thing for them to do, but their hearts really are like this when it comes to friendship. They are best friends and we are fortunate to have set that foundation from birth.
As with all of our campouts, we ate like ravenous raccoons including ice cream for afternoon snack overlooking the river.
We asked the camp host where to go for a river with a beach and he directed us to a bridge on an abandoned highway. We walked down to the water and found a jewel of a location where the water wasn't too deep or fast moving. Easton looked in the water and saw a newt or salamander creature moving. He bravely scooped it up and we spent the next two hours making a newt zoo.
Clay built some dams with sticks and rocks and mud. the water flowed through and the creatures stayed put.
Layla jumped in on the action and caught her own collection of newts (or salamanders... whatever they are). She gave them names like daisy and rainbow and jumper. This adventure was the most memorable one of the trip. We were splashing and playing and catching these things until we were water logged and hungry.
Easton discovered the joys of using a hatchet on dead wood. This stump was fair game for him to whack away although the blade was so dull that it barely stuck in the wood.
On the other side of camp, Layla and Rowan were coloring pages from her coloring book. They got along so well. I'm proud of Layla for being a big sister and taking care of her.
We watched the sunset by the river as we avoided mosquitoes and skipped rocks. I skipped so many rocks that my elbow as sore. The boys were throwing rocks up in the air and watching them break so they can look inside. They are little, inquisitive explorers.
The water wasn't as cold as I expected. It was tolerable up to our knees, but that's it. There was no sitting in a tube and floating down the river. forget that! The warm sun and cool water with sand between my toes was good enough to get through the days. Besides... it was the only bath or shower i took in 48 hours.
The trees are indescribably huge. I don't even have a scale to reference how tall and wide they are. I stood the kids up in front of this one for a little perspective, but it doesn't do justice at all. Our tent was nestled in between two massive trees with moss growing on the branches. It was a unique experience all the way around and I hope to repeat it often.
See you soon!


text: I frequently purchase things from independent US companies via Paypal, and also use it to buy stuff on eBay, but recently I realised that, after several years of using Paypal, I was reaching the end of the total amount of money I could send without getting my account "verified". However, when I attempted to verify my account, I discovered that as an Irish resident, the only way I could do so was to list ANOTHER credit card - in other words, I would prove that I was financially reliable by showing that I was in multiple debt. Which I'm not. Anyway, I rang Paypal and spoke to a very nice woman who seemed to realise how mad it was but said she couldn't verify me (she could, however, raise my sending limits anyway so I can continue to buy stuff via Paypal). Apparently, however, I can no longer receive any money at all - I just tried to sell some books on eBay and was told I can no longer receive Paypal payments because of my unverified status. But the only way I can get verified and show how safe I am with money is to have multiple credit cards. If anyone can explain the logic of this, please do. I'm just pissed off that apparently I can never sell anything on eBay again, and have written a suitably angry letter to their customer service department to let them know.

A short drive form the south side to North KC, and we were at the legendary Smokin' Guns BBQ, yep, the same Smokin' Guns that holds more championships than you can coiunt, whose rubs are used clear across the country in BBQ competitions, and the smae Smokin' Guns that were on Guy Fieri's TV show diners, Drive Ins and Dives.
All this, and one might expect to get served some world class Q.
The atmosphere was typical of a small q joint and needed more lights and updating. It was order at the register, be seated , and they bring it to you when it is ready.
We were all anxious to dig in when our food showed up, but what a giant disappointment.
the food all appeared to be pre cooked and nuked just before serving. The beans were OK, and the oil and vinegar slaw wasn't bad, but the ST Loius style ribs were so so at best, they weren't even cooked clear through, they hung tight to the bone, and worse yet, they weren't even hot clear through.
We all went for an order of their "World Famous burnt ends".
Friends, let me tell you, they were harder and drier that Ol' roy dog food. I mean even a liberal dose of sauce didn;t help. The waitress came by and asked how everything was, and when I told her how bad they were, she just kinda shrugged and walked off.
Two of the members of our party said they saw them opening zip lock bags of burnt ends from the fridge, poured a few on a plate and nuking them.
We heard someone say that their bacon au gratin taters were really good so we ordered some to pass around the table. We all pictured a small casserole bubbling with cheesy bacony goodness, but what we got was a small styro ramekin with some pasty tater mush and a little (heavy on the little) cheese and bacon in it. It too, of course, had been nuked.
I have pix coming (as soon as the Okette finds her camera) and will post them soon.
If you are considering paying them a visit based on their reputation you might want to reconsider. these folks obviously know what good BBQ is. they just don't care to go to the trouble of serving it.
Because of the sides not being too bad, I will give them 2 out of 5 possible stars.
Sorry, no pix of the food. There just wasn't anything worth taking pix of.

Since our evening with the Dragons held at the end of January this year, there has been an escalation of work behind the scenes with some big developments happening.
Whilst it is a little early to share exactly what these developments are, and we wish we could, we have found it necessary to form a steering group to keep us focused on what will be an expansion plan for the Dragons and its Dragons Project.
We have approached Hannah Roberts and Richard Roberts to come and head the steering group, two dynamic and proactive young people who were a key part of setting up the highly respected Wrexham Warehouse Project in North Wales.
Hannah and Richard, who are brother and sister, will be an asset to us and what we do, and are excited about the prospect of having them both on board.

Following Jesus requires a tremendous amount of trust. Look at the widow in Gospel reading (Luke 21:1-4). How could she give what she could not afford? Did she believe that God would reward her with a kitchen full of groceries? Probably not. That wasn't the point Jesus was trying to make. What she gave more of, Jesus implied, was love. She was more in love with God than those who based their donations on the surplus of their wealth. Her stewardship was based on her love for God and her awareness of his love for her.
Trust comes from a mutual exchange of genuine love. We've become distrustful because people have violated our trust. Of course, we know that God is far more trustable than they are. Thus, we can be like that widow who loved God so much that trusting him to take care of her felt natural.
Think of Christian parents who send their grown children off into their adult lives. The newly fledged, inexperienced young adults explore their independence in a college or work environment where there are many temptations to discard what their parents have taught them. This usually coincides with letting go of their parents' faith in order to take personal ownership of the faith, which can take years and which makes them even more vulnerable to temptation, especially in today's culture.Read More »

Némesis, by Intermezzo
After working with them in a videoclip from their previous album, we worked together again to create something unique for their newest acoustic album, a totally do-it-yourself disc, self-recorded and self-produced. We wanted it to be as non-expensive to produce as possible, but without compromising the quality of the presentation.
Using the title of the EP as the starting point, I started to play with the idea of using two opposite approaches to a same subject, given that Nemesis represents the opposite to something. I wanted to represent the pureness of the music as a form of art, and that evolved to a more general vision of art, a frame that could carry any form of art. At first I was going to use a totally photographic art, shooting an old frame in a dirty destroyed wall against a brand new one on a clean white wall, but that didn't stayed for long. Instead I decided to use all black and all white clean versions of the first idea, and then the final idea was born. The rest was easy.
Being a limited edition of 100, I proposed to print the slave in 2-sided glossy paper, with one side black and the other being white, playing with the Nemesis title; and the booklet was printed on black on A4 paper. We had to cut every case, fold the booklets and store it in plastic bags by ourselves. I also did a photoshoot with them on black and white background and clothes, matching the theme of the album. The result was 50 copies in black and 50 in white, while keeping the mail color in gold for both of them.

When I was 17, I thought I was making the most of every day. I loved drama, shopping, holidays, hanging out with my friends and I was getting ready to apply for uni. I led a pretty normal teenage life.
But then something changed, and my 'normal' life as a teenager was cut short. "I've got some bad news, it's a tumour," the doctor said. I was diagnosed with stage 2 osteosarcoma and boom, I was catapulted into this crazy cancer world.
It was like a movie moment. Everything went high pitched. At that point I thought I was either going to throw up or pass out. I had absolutely no concept of what was going on and for the first time in my life, I was genuinely petrified. You just never expect it to happen to you. It's only when something as dreadful as cancer happens, that you realise what making the most of every day truly means.
After the diagnosis, everything happens so quickly. You don't even really get time to digest what is happening to you. You kind of just go into autopilot, and keep going because you have to. Within a matter of weeks of the diagnosis, I had started chemotherapy, a concept which could not have been more alien to me. I was petrified of even going to the doctors so the thought of having to be in hospital for nine months was horrendous.
The Teenage Cancer Trust ward had everything. Kitted out with TVs, games consoles, computers, a pool table, you name it, we had it. It was incredible and there was always something happening. Whether that be a music workshop, some kind of arty activity, massages, or pizza nights. One day a lady came in to give us all new hats and do our nails, and it was the things like that which made the harsh reality of cancer treatment that little bit more manageable. It meant that we could just be teenagers.
Teenage Cancer Trust is so needed in Brighton to ensure that young people with cancer can get treated on their doorstep. It would mean that it's easier for their friends and family to visit them and that could really help them feel supported during the difficult time. It would also mean that they don't have to travel for check-ups, and they have a specialist team nearby in a medical emergency. They could also meet local young people who are going through the same experience as them so that it's easier for them to stay in touch and meet up to help each other.

The advice of the specialist doctor: Dr. Emmanuel Chartier-Kastler is an urologist at the Pitié-Salpétrière Hospital in Paris.
Cystitis is a common pathology in women. For what reasons ?
Learn to pee! This is not a joke. Many cystitis is due to the fact that women often have very bad habits. And it goes back to childhood: at school, the toilets are often dirty, the doors are not completely closed ... The little girls are afraid that the boys come to look under the door when they pee. All of this leads to bad habits.
The woman also has a tendency to restrain herself. When she pee, she often does it in suspension, she does not sit on the toilet seat for fear of dirt, she does not lower her panties to the ankles ... All these tensions, when to do pee, have the effect of poorly drain the bladder and promote infections.
So what are you proposing?
Very often, when a woman comes to us for repeated cystitis, we come to offer her a kind of micturition. He is asked to sit well on the glasses of the toilet (even if they are a little dirty, there is no risk of catching diseases), he is asked to relax so that his bladder can empty completely. Obviously, we advise to drink regularly and go to pee every three or four hours. And you should not urinate while pushing, it irritates the urethral canal and makes it more susceptible to infections.
Cystitis is common. But are they serious?
They are not serious in themselves, but they can be very disabling. When a woman suffers from repeated cystitis, that she is obliged, wherever she goes, to think of finding a toilet, it rises quickly to the head. It becomes so haunting that it can even cause ... depression. Women may come to hesitate to go out, for example. There is also discomfort, pain. These burns with each urination and repeated urges, it is very painful.
And then you have to pay attention to the complications, of course. Poorly treated or untreated cystitis can worsen and turn into pyelonephritis: a higher infection that affects the kidneys.
So, even though it's a common condition, it's never a trivial ailment. Specific causes need to be specifically identified and addressed effectively.You want to react, to give your testimony or to ask a question? Appointment in our Urinary Problems or A doctor answers you .

This project — Pathways Into Teacher Education: Empowering Choices for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Students, Teachers, Parents, and Their Communities — has been developed to promote teaching as a career of choice to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people at local levels, through the establishment of local-level partnerships between schools and industries.
One of the primary concerns that Pathways will address is the lack of clarification around pathways into teacher education due to a number of community social impacts that restrict parental engagement, and a general confusion about support for career and study prospects. Pathways is an opportunity to reach a number of students, teachers, parents, and communities in urban, rural, and remote contexts through a culturally appropriately designed and informative ICT resource.

New Planning Permission Rules
The government has announced its intention to relax the rules on single storey extensions and conservatories as part of a range of measure to stimulate growth in the construction industry.
Current Permitted Development rights allow homeowners to extend up to three metres from the rear of original building in the case of semi-detached and terraced properties, or four metres for detached houses. The proposal is to double this to six and eight metres respectively, for a period of three years, but is this a good thing?
From the perspective of a conservatory company, it can't be bad. However, as much as we'd like there to be a stampede of people looking to order eight metre deep conservatories, orangeries and extensions, we're not sure this will happen!
Most of our clients recognise the importance of the conservatory or extension blending in with the house and garden. Properties where an eight metre deep conservatory would be aesthetically appropriate are likely to be on a sizeable plot where this would have been permitted under existing rules anyway. Clients on smaller plots are unlikely to want to build over most of their garden, or do something that is out of proportion and detrimental to the appearance of their home.
The most likely scenario where it will generate business for us that would not have otherwise been possible, will be the case of people extending off the back of existing extensions. In this type of situation a conservatory or orangery will be the best solution to allow light into both the previous extension and the original building beyond it.
It has been claimed that the new planning regulations will make it far cheaper and quicker to build, but is this really the case?
If we accept that the new Permitted Development rules will last for a limited period, homeowners taking advantage of them would be well advised to obtain a Lawful Development Certificate for the works. This is a legal document stating that the extension or conservatory was exempt from planning permission.
The local authority fee for a Lawful Development Certificate is £75, compared to £150 for householder planning permission. Furthermore the plans and drawings required are very similar and the timescale to determine both Planning and Lawful Development applications tends to be around eight weeks. Therefore there will barely be a difference in cost or time, only in the fact that some extensions will now be possible where before they wouldn't have been.
The bigger picture
Unfortunately taste is not universal, neither is consideration for others. One can imagine a situation where a Victorian mid-terraced property becomes encircled by six-metre deep extensions on either side. It is likely that these additions will be constructed on a tight budget, probably poor quality uPVC conservatories that will be too hot in summer, too cold in winter and will destroy any remaining architectural merit in once proud buildings.
There will definitely be a lot of upset neighbours, a six-metre deep wall along a party boundary will have a massive impact to the person living on the wrong side of it. Perhaps it will have a knock-on effect, it may force the person living next door to a huge extension to have one themselves.
In the past we have spent hours pouring over plans and debating lines of sight with planning officers, producing schemes to get the maximum space for our clients and minimising the effect on neighbouring properties. We can only hope that people show restraint and appreciate the benefit of leaving some garden space!
Orangery Cad Design
This orangery will fill the space at the corner of the building, in the corner formed between side and rear extensions. It will be quite close to the boundary and project out from the main house six metres, which was always going to be pushing the limits of planning permission.
Unfortunately the neighbours, who have a conservatory themselves, objected to the planning application on the grounds that the proposed orangery would spoil their view of our clients' garden! It is questionable how much this actually influenced the planners, but planning permission was refused.
In parallel, we re-submitted for a orangery of reduced size (four metre projection) whilst appealing the original decision. The smaller orangery was approved by the local authority, then our appeal was granted by the planning inspectorate. Thankfully the clients can now have their orangery the size they wanted and we can proceed with the build.

Today, U.S. Representative Diane Black (R-TN), released the following statement on House passage of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act:
"Today, the House held the line on multiple areas while forcing the issue of jobs to the forefront. We helped our economy in the best way Washington can: we got Washington out of the way by lifting the EPA's job-crushing boiler MACT regulation and preventing further delay of the job creating, energy rich Keystone XL pipeline. Most importantly, we did not raise taxes on middle class American families, we substantially reformed unemployment insurance in order to get people back to work, and we took steps to help small businesses grow in the stagnant Obama economy.
"However, we cannot lose sight of the end goal. Congress must work to make Social Security stronger and sustainable, instead of seeking short-term gratification at the expense of the program. We need to permanently fix Medicare reimbursement rates for doctors and not at the continued expense of our rural providers. And this Congress needs to be about the real, lasting solutions that will get our economy and our country back on track.
"Facts are stubborn things, and right now the real unemployment rate in this country would be 11% if people had not simply stopped looking for work. The past three years have seen unprecedented government expansion under the guise of job creation, and yet Americans today are still struggling. Those of us who came to Washington to change this government and make it smaller and more accountable need willing partners in the Senate and the White House to get the job fully done. Until then I and my colleagues will continue to fight for the conservative policy solutions that secure the future for our children and grandchildren."

Javier Bardem confirmed for villain role in Pirates Of The Caribbean 5
Oscar winning actor Javier Bardem has been confirmed as the villain for the next instalment of Pirates Of The Caribbean.
Bardem had previously been strongly linked with the role and was confirmed yesterday (February 17th) by Disney as villain Captain Salazar. The studio also announced that Exodus: Gods And Kings star Golshifteh Farahani would be part of the cast and that production is now underway.
The studio have also confirmed the film's plot synopsis, which reads as follows: "Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his-luck Capt. Jack Sparrow finds the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost pirates led by his old nemesis, the terrifying Captain Salazar (Bardem), escape from the Devil's Triangle, determined to kill every pirate at sea… including him."
It continues: "Captain Jack's only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, a powerful artifact that bestows upon its possessor total control over the seas."
The film, which is titled Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, sees Johnny Depp returning to lead as Captain Jack Sparrow, with both Maleficent star Brenton Thwaites and The Maze Runner's Kaya Scodelario confirmed to play key roles.
The script is written by Catch Me If You Can's Jeff Nathanson, with Norwegian pair Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg directing. Filming will take place in Queensland after producers Disney agreed a deal with the Australian government, who agreed to put just under $20 million towards the film.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is due to be released on July 7th, 2017.

Europe's changing tropical timber trade, baseline report of the Independent Market Monitoring initiative
30 October 2015
The report covers all products within the scope of existing or potential future VPAs, including primary wood products, wooden doors, floors and furniture, and pulp and paper. It focuses on the trade between the 28 EU member states and 17 tropical timber-supplying countries at various stages of the VPA process.
Recognizing that market trends in the EU and VPA partner countries are highly dependent on trade with other regions of the world, the report also puts trade flows between the EU and VPA partner countries in their global context.
Summarized versions of the report are also available in English, French and Spanish.
