I have always sided with the underdogs. When 'the State' chooses to prosecute someone, they have at their disposal virtually unlimited resources. This automatically makes any accused party the underdog. I feel privileged to be in the position of a defence counsel, as I believe the role is ultimately to hold the State accountable during the prosecution of an individual. It allows me to ensure that the rule of law is upheld and the fundamental rights of my clients are protected.
I practice in all areas of criminal law with a focus on D.U.I. law. I have attended dedicated courses in D.U.I. law such as the Operation of the Intoxilyzer 8000C, Scientific Evidence in Breath Test Cases, Drug Recognition Evaluation (DRE), and the Standard Field Sobriety Test (SFST) course. I continuously stay up-to-date on the latest criminal law research and regulations in order to best serve my clients and the Aitken Robertson firm.
Often when I deal with new clients, it's imperative for me to establish a relationship from the beginning where I am able to alleviate their anxieties and build trust and confidence. Only when that happens, can they freely convey their side of the story. I am methodical in reviewing with them what evidences the Crown can produce, how easy or difficult it would be for the Crown to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, and the strengths and weaknesses of a client's case and outlining the difficulties and the hurdles we would have to overcome to be successful. I remain resolute in my advocacy for my clients, sparing no efforts to obtain the best possible resolution given the circumstances.

An effective criminal defence lawyer is like a good poker player, not only able to assess the possible outcomes with the hand their clients are dealt, but also possess the instinct to judge the risk, benefit and ability to read the other side. – Nasif Abdullah

Pruning Roses is A Lot Like Trusting the Lord

July is anti-boredom month and here at the Stone Center Library we're ready to celebrate with a blitz of twenty tomes to help stave off the lethargy of this toasty summer month. This week, we're starting off our series with recent titles in FICTION. More of a poetry or non-fiction kind of reader? Not to worry, we'll be branching out in the weeks to come!
Today, the SCL recommends:
Before you suffocate your own fool self, by Danielle Evans
- "Introducing a new star of her generation, an electric debut story collection about young African-American and mixed-race teens, women, and men struggling to find a place in their families and communities. . . Striking in their emotional immediacy, the stories in Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self are based in a world where inequality is reality but where the insecurities of adolescence and young adulthood, and the tensions within family and the community, are sometimes the biggest complicating forces in one's sense of identity and the choices one makes." (Excerpts from Syndetic Solutions)
Happy reading, and don't forget to stay tuned for tomorrow's pick! 🙂

EMMEN - All Dutch people will receive a brochure in the mail at the end of february, that wants to put the evolution theory up for discussion. Conservative Christian organisations that believe that God created the world in six days are responsible for the text. 6.6 million copies of the brochure will be printed over the next month. The coördinator of the campaign, also chairman of the Bible & Education Society says that the evolution theory is a faith and just as impossible to prove as the Creation theory.
Followers of the evolution theory have already designed a mailbox sticker that will hopefully prevent them from getting the brochure in the mail. The first batch of the sticker with the text "YES evolution, NO creation" has already sold out. Christian organisations are working on their own sticker with the exact opposite text.
A total of 30 organisations support the Creational Action Committee that was founded for the campaign. They will finance the event that will cost around 250.000 Euro (US$ 320.000). "Our goal is to put a discussion in motion. On many schools the evolution theory is seen as absolute truth. There may be some attention to Creation but teachers say that the theory isn't true. Plus there's no questions on Creation in any exam. We believe that children have a right to hear both sides."

SURGICAL masks, currently available for between 14 and 50 cents each, are a low-cost, convenient solution to the risk of iatrogenic septic arthritis, says a leading infection prevention specialist.
However, Associate Professor Allen Cheng, deputy head of infection prevention at The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, said the question was where to draw the line on wearing a mask, particularly in very low-risk procedures such as vaccinations.
Professor Cheng was commenting on a case report in this week's issue of the MJA about a prosthetic shoulder infection which may have been caused by an intra-articular injection performed by a proceduralist not wearing a mask. (1)
Dr Nicholas Coatsworth, microbiology registrar at Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney, and coauthors detailed the case of a 72-year-old man with a prosthetic right shoulder joint who presented with fever, a warm, swollen shoulder joint, pain on passive movement of the joint and an elevated C-reactive protein level less than 24 hours after receiving an injection into the joint of 8 mL of radiographic contrast before a computed tomography (CT) arthrogram of his shoulder.
After aspiration of the joint, culture yielded light growth of Streptococcus mitis group 1, the authors wrote. The proceduralist — who used aseptic technique for the injection, but did not wear a mask — provided an oropharyngeal swab and several organisms were cultured from it, including multiple viridans Streptococcus species.
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis was performed on the samples, and the authors found that "the patient's organism and a strain of the S. mitis recovered from the proceduralist's throat showed indistinguishable fragment patterns".
"This strongly suggested droplet transmission of the proceduralist's oral flora onto the needle or skin, with subsequent inoculation into the shoulder joint", they wrote.
"This is the first published instance of molecular epidemiology technique showing probable transmission of oral flora from a proceduralist to the joint of a patient, resulting in iatrogenic septic arthritis.
The man had joint failure 6 months after the acute presentation, confirmed on arthrogram and by arthroscopy, and underwent a full revision of the right shoulder prosthesis. "The procedure was uncomplicated, and the patient remains well with no signs of recurrent infection", the authors wrote.
Professor Cheng said the case study raised an issue that had largely been invisible.
"I suspect there are more cases like this one happening than we know about", he said.
"These were questions we learned a long time ago, about aseptic technique. Increasingly it's being recognised that it is the little things that we do [in preventing infection] — or don't do — that can add up to a bit of risk."
Professor Cheng said that while surgical masks were a cheap and convenient way of reducing the risk of iatrogenic infection, it was a question of how far to push the use of surgical masks.
"There is a point where the risk of transmission is so low — giving vaccinations for example — but where do you draw that line?" he said. "Is it giving steroid injections? Or epidurals?
"The spectrum of risk is small enough that you can really only make recommendations about wearing surgical masks. The risk is not great enough to legislate.
"There's still a little bit of an open question — it's never completely clear that the organism that caused the infection [in this case] came from the mouth of the proceduralist — but it would make sense to use surgical masks in that situation, particularly as the cost of using them is so low", Professor Cheng said.

How long does it take to build a new website?
The duration of your project will depend upon the nature and complexity of your website's requirements. Although a basic home page can be up on the internet in as little as a few days, you can typically count on a minimum of 4-6 weeks for a more complete, fully functional website.
Things you can do to help your project go quickly and smoothly:
- have written content prepared electronically;
- find a few images you like or collect professional photos for the site (head shots or logos for example);
- think about the basic structure of your website; how many pages you will have and what each one will be about.
We can certainly assist and advise with all this but in general the more prepared you can be, the more quickly things will come together online.
What are Interactive Features?
Interactive features refer to functions on your website that allow people to interact with you or your business. For example, you may need your website to sell products, book appointments, collect payments or process information on forms. Ask us what your site can do!
Will my new website work on mobile devices?
Websites today need to be fully responsive, which means that they detect the kind of device they are being viewed on and "respond" accordingly. This usually means that for smaller, mobile devices an easier-to-read version of the site is presented for a smaller screen. We take care of all of that for you!
Who, then, is pounding the keyboard and drinking the coffee? That would be me, an eclectic blend of project manager, business analyst and self-confessed techno-geek. Yes I have a computer science degree and an e-commerce background but more than anything I could show you on a resumé this is the reason you want me to build your next website: I really love what I do! You don't have to take my word for it. Below is some of my work and what people are saying about it.

The Undivorce – Separating To Stay Together
I call this trend the "undivorce" as it seems that couples are coming to mediation to save their relationships rather than unwind them. 'Fresh start' are often the words used to describe the couples' intention. With a parenting plan in place and their financial world separated, spouses can rework a new path to intimacy, respect and adoration. Or so they hope.
An undivorce separates the couple's world and creates the distance to re-evaluate individual needs and if the relationship still works for each individual . The separation agreement is the legal document that protects each individual should the relationship not rekindle. With parameters set, the couple can live apart from one another. Also, finances are not intertwined and parenting roles are understood with each parent maintaining their, agreed to, roles and responsibilities with regard to the children's care.
The major difference between those seeking an undivorce and those who enter my mediation room with the intention to divorce, is that the undivorce couples never intend to file for divorce. Sometimes the intention is to re-explore the relationship and I'm seeing more and more of this in my mediation room. Other times, religious values and beliefs make filing for divorce a non-negotiable ideal.
Some people separate and remain so for several years without filing for the final divorce decree. Either way, it is important to set a separation agreement in place to protect you, legally, with regard to your rights and obligations. It also sets your intentions for how you both intend to bring up your children before your spouse opts out of the relationship and finds someone else who will influence their decisions regarding parenting. And, of course, you may not agree!
So, if you're not sure about your relationship but you don't want to commit to divorcing your spouse, do you think an 'undivorce' is a good alternative? Or is it a rather drastic way of assessing the merits of a marriage?

One of the greatest challenges I found returning to surfing was adapting from a land-based running machine to an aquatic being which belonged in the surf. As a track athlete, my body and brain were conditioned to running as fast as possible for as long as possible. This meant brutal track sessions, hours spent in the weights room or on the massage table, as well as obsessing over lycra, eating enough protein and not getting injured or ill. But I soon found that as fit as I had been on the track, being in the water was a complete game changer mentally and physically.
As much as I was inspired by surfing and had always wanted to do it, I found that I was pretty scared of being out of my depth in the sea and not really comfortable putting my head under water for longer than about 3 seconds. It was one thing to be catching waves in the white water, but as soon as I would venture out into the line-up I would either not go for waves or I would go for a wave only pull back at the last minute. Being afraid of wiping out and going over the falls I soon found myself in a real rut and couldn't see a way to overcome it. My fear was holding me back and I doubted whether I was cut out for surfing. I just couldn't see myself progressing and ever catching waves and riding them like I'd always dreamed.
Even though I was strong and aerobically fit, my body was really not conditioned for surfing. Years of running had given me tight, powerful muscle tone, which meant I didn't have the flexibility for popping up or rotating my body and my head was still in competitive mode of needing to be constantly progressing and achieving. It was becoming clear that I needed to loosen up mentally and physically!
It was either sink or swim. After one particularly frustrating session where I literally just sat on my board avoiding waves for a few hours, I made the decision to think about what was holding me back and to make a plan about how I was going to tackle things.
I realised that most of my issues stemmed from being fearful of the water and not feeling like I belonged out there, and these were exacerbated by my body not being conditioned for surfing. So after having a bit of a think about how to tackle these elements, I made a bit of an action plan:
Yoga – I started doing weekly yoga classes. The postures perfectly conditioned my body for the movements needed for surfing and my muscles started to loosen and lengthen. I began to learn how to breathe and to control my breath in the water. Taking ownership of my breathing really helped bring a sense of calm and address my fear of being under the water and I slowly started to panic less when I was held under.
Swimming – Becoming a strong swimmer helped and continues to help me feel mentally and physically like I belong in the water. I signed up to two ten week blocks of lessons at my local swimming pool and started from the absolute basics of learning how to swim and feel comfortable under water. I couldn't believe how much of a difference this made. Not only did swimming help improve my paddle power and ability to catch waves, but most importantly for me, it dramatically improved my water confidence.
The right board – The board I was using was too small and I as soon as I started surfing a bigger, more buoyant board, this allowed me to take off earlier and get into the wave sooner. Switching sticks really helped me to improve and it gave me a bit more time to experiment with my pop up. I remember when I first started catching unbroken waves consistently – the most amazing feeling!
Surf specific training – I looked up some surf-specific exercises and started doing them in the gym. This really helped improve my confidence and made movement easier, as well as improving my pop-up and being able to get to my feet quicker and with confidence.
Connecting with others – I joined a surf club and met some great people and surfing buddies. It also led to becoming involved with beach cleans which strengthened my connection with the ocean and surf community.
Coaching – As soon as I felt ready, I signed up to some surf coaching. It was great having someone giving me advice on all sorts of surf-related stuff, taking pictures / videos of my surfing – cringeworthy but very helpful!
Getting out there – I made the decision to surf as regularly as possible in a range of conditions, even if the surf wasn't up to much. Spending more time in the water really helped decrease my fear of it. If I felt the waves were too challenging for me, I would stay on the inside and catch reforming or smaller waves.
Enjoyment – As much as I wanted to progress, I reminded myself to enjoy the experience of simply being in the sea surrounded by nature's beauty and friends.
Goals – I gave myself some goals for sessions. This would range from challenging myself to catch about 3 waves, to improving my duckdives or to go for a wave which was out of my comfort zone.
So all in all, these are the things that really helped and still help me get more confident and face my fears in the water. I'm now at a point where I feel like I belong in the water and can call myself a surfer. Of course, I still get scared and doubt myself, but a hundred times less frequently than before. Most importantly, I am getting more and more stoke after each session!

One might think that local ingredients are hard to come by during a Massachusetts winter. But that hasn't deterred Brian Dandro, executive chef at the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge. "When I took over the signature restaurant, ArtBar, it lacked an identity, so I thought 'what better to focus on than what's available in our backyard.' Now I'm passionate about putting together local purveyors," he says.
Dandro defines "local" as "regional New England" to assure availability and variety. He works directly with Red Fire Farm, a grower out of Granby in western Massachusetts, for much of his produce supply. Both share the same sustainability philosophy; Red Fire grows organic vegetables and distributes through Metro Pedal Power, a cycling company. Throughout the winter, hardy greens have been growing in greenhouses and root vegetables, squash and potatoes are in storage. Until April, ArtBar's menu is featuring dishes such as Roasted Beets, Shaved Fennel, Blood Oranges, Peppercress and House Made Ricotta and Georges Bank Sea Scallops with Roasted Parsnip Risotto Cake and Mushrooms.
Although Red Fire Farm is an excellent produce partner, "you can't be too elite," Dandro contends. He also buys from Costa, a local distributor with a viable farm-to-table program, and a few others. "With a 400-room hotel, sourcing regionally from several suppliers helps keep prices in check and availability consistent," he notes. Dandro also goes beyond produce when it comes to local sourcing. "It's not hard to put at least one ingredient into each menu item that's locally produced," he claims; there are cheese makers, meat producers, smokehouses and even a chocolate company nearby.
It goes without saying that Dandro is looking forward to the first crops of spring. "I'll start by doing daily specials since the season can be really short for some items," he says, referring specifically to fiddleheads from Maine, rhubarb, peas and asparagus. And he's working up a "local page" for the hotel's banquet menu as well.
Coming into season:

Growth in the PC market is slowing as first-time buyers become a smaller piece of the market's pie. And this is taking its toll PC retailers that focus on home computers, according to a new study released today.
The study, conducted by San Francisco-based Odyssey Venture called Homefront, revealed that 32 percent of home computer purchases in the past six months were first-time buyers, a drop from 49 percent for the same period a year earlier.
As a result, growth in PC market penetration is slowing, said Odyssey, which dedicates itself exclusively to understanding consumers and at-home entertainment and information technologies. Currently, there are personal computers in 37 percent of U.S. homes.
Repeat purchases dominate the market because "computer manufacturers are not making what consumers want," said Odyssey President Nick Donatiello in a written release. "You won't see PCs in more than 50 percent of U.S. homes until these companies figure out how to make computers easier to buy, set up, and use."
Companies such as Tandy (TAN), are avoiding this problem by shifting their focus to existing computer consumers as well as the SOHO (small office-home office) and corporate markets. Tandy managed to boost its same-store sales--sales in stores open more than one year--for its U.S. and Canadian retail operations. Sales for the month of February were up two percent from the same month a year earlier.
"Tandy wanted to get away from the unpredictable side of the business to a more predictable side of the business," said Merrill Lynch analyst Peter Caruso.
He added that the market to corporations is a more stable market than the consumer market because businesses have a capital budget set aside to buy computers.
Tandy's Computer City stores showed a four percent increase in same-store sales while RadioShack climbed two percent.
Circuit City (CC) has not had such good luck. Some 30 percent of the consumer electronic retailer's sales come from home PC sales, according to Caruso. Circuit City reported a four percent decline in same-store sales for February, following the company's dismal third-quarter report of a ten percent decline in same-store sales. The company had attributed the drop to weak sales of personal computers and most consumer electronic products.
"The home computer side is cyclical, and if you are selling to just home buyers, you will be affected by that. Right now consumer debt is high, people can 't go out to buy big ticket items" added Caruso.
During February, the company continued its ongoing expansion program with the addition of 14 Circuit City Superstores, the replacement of three existing Circuit City Superstores, and the addition of one CarMax Superstore.
"Fiscal 1997 was an extremely challenging year in consumer electronics, with intense competition throughout the year, strong prior-year comparisons in the first half of the year, and weaker demand for consumer electronics and personal computers during the second half of the year," said Richard Sharp, company chairman and chief executive officer.
The company said it will continue with its aggressive expansion program that will raise the number of superstores to over 500 by the end of fiscal 1998.
Caruso upgraded his rating of Circuit City this morning to near-term "buy" from "accumulate."
In morning trading the company's stock was up as high as 34-3/8 from yesterday's close of 31-3/4.

Xiaomi Mi 4c has been leaking for quite some time now, and Xiaomi's execs have been sharing one piece of info at a time for the last couple of days. The majority of Mi 4c info leaked ahead of its launch, and Xiaomi just announced the device in India. The Xiaomi Mi 4c is a new variant of the Mi 4i handset which launch earlier this year. The two devices look almost identical on the outside, but the Mi 4c packs a significantly more powerful specs, read on.
The Xiaomi Mi 4c features a 5-inch 1080p (1920 x 1080) 'Sunlight' display along with 2/3GB of RAM and 16/32 of internal storage. The 2GB model ships with 16GB of internal storage, while the 3GB variant comes with 32GB of native storage. The Snapdragon 808 64-bit hexa-core processor fuels this smartphone, and a 3,080mAh battery is available on the inside. Speaking of the battery, Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0 is also available here, which basically means you'll be able to charge up this smartphone rather fast. The Type-C USB 3.0 port is located on the bottom of this phone, which was confirmed a couple of days ago. Interestingly enough, Xiaomi is also selling a USB TypeCC reversible connector, in case you need to use the standard microUSB connector (USB 2.0). We're still not sure if you'll get one in the package, but it costs RMB 5 ($0.78) in the company's official store.
The Xiaomi Mi 4c sports a 13-megapixel camera (Sony's IMX258 / Samsung's S5K3M2 ISOCELL sensor, PDAF included) on the back, and next to it you'll notice the dual-LED, dual tone flash. The 5-megapixel wide-angle snapper is available on the back of this phone, and 4G LTE connectivity is also a part of this package, same thing can be said about dual-SIM as well. Android 5.1 Lollipop comes pre-installed on the Mi 4c, and Xiaomi's MIUI 7 UI is installed on top of Google's operating system. The company has unveiled MIUI 7 earlier this year, click here if you'd like to get more info when it comes to that. Speaking of software, Xiaomi has packed in quite a few software features in this phone, aside from standard MIUI 7 stuff. The 'double tap to wake' feature is included here, and the 'Edge Tap' is another interesting feature you'll be able to use here. This feature literally lets you tap on the phone's edge in order to activate certain action. For example, you can tap on the edge of the phone once to take a photo, and if you double tap, you'll activate the 'back' action.
The infrared port is also available on this device, this sensor will basically let you to control your TV, air conditioner, and any other appliance which has IR support basically. Xiaomi, of course, has an app for that as well within MIUI 7. The phone will be available in a range of color options, Black, Blue, Yellow, Pink and White. The 2GB of RAM variant with 16GB of internal storage is priced at 1,299 Yuan ($204), and the 3GB model with 32GB of in-built storage will cost you 1,499 Yuan ($235).

FAIRBORN —Madison Whitaker hit a pair of homeruns including a game winner as Wright State's softball team won a pair of games in the Liberty Invitational Feb. 24.
The Raiders pounded out 14 hits to beat Valparaiso, 11-5, in the first game, and then topped Delaware State, 4-2, in the second game as Whitaker's homer allowed WSU to walk off as winners.
Madison Nunez finished 5 for 5 with a pair of RBI, three doubles and threw out a Crusader runner attempting to steal on the defensive end.
The Crusaders put up a run in the first against Makenna Durieux, but the Raiders quickly answered in the second. Rebekah Lenos drew a walk to start the inning and stole second. After Madison Mills singled to put runners at the corners, Macy McCall doubled to score Lenos for her third RBI of the season.
After giving up another run in the home half of the second, Wright State took back control with a two-run third which started with a Whitaker double. Nunez then singled and Whitaker scored after an errant throw from the Crusader outfielder. After a pitching change, Madison Hartman singled to give the Raiders a 3-2 lead.
The windy weather in Lynchburg, Va. made life difficult for outfielders, and Valparaiso took advantage with a lead-off inside the park home run to tie the game. Nunez rifled a ball over to third to catch Carly Trepanier stealing to close the inning and avoid any damage.
Then, Wright State got to work offensively, scoring four runs to open up their biggest lead of the tournament. McCall doubled for the second time and Meredith Keel soon joined her on the bases after drawing a walk. Then Whitaker ripped a ball over the left field fence for a three-run homer, the first Wright State long ball this season. Brianna Hutchinson put the finishing touches on the inning with an RBI single.
Valparaiso inched closer with two runs in the fifth, but once more the Raiders responded and scored two more runs to take a 10-5 lead. Hartman and McCall both drew walks. Hartman eventually scored on a wild pitch and Nunez took a ball to left for one of her three doubles to score the 10th Raider run.
Nunez capped off her impressive performance by sending her third double and fifth hit of the game into center field, scoring Keel. Olivia Otani relieved Durieux in the fourth, and completely dominated. Otani pitched nearly flawless softball through 3.1 innings pitched, allowing no hits or runs and received the winning decision.
Much like the first game, Wright State had to work from behind after allowing two runs in the third. Hartman doubled down the right field line to score Nunez and draw within one run of the Hornets.
After Otani set down the Hornets in the top half, Jordyn Poulson sped around the base paths for an inside-the-park homerun, which tied the game.
Otani continued her impressive day on the mound and the game remained tied at two in the bottom of the seventh. Keel drew a walk, and Whitaker hammered a ball over the right field fence to win the game. Otani recorded her second win of the day, and pitched 10.1 innings consecutively between both games. In her seventh appearance, she allowed just one earned run and six hits while pitching a complete game without surrendering a walk.

Poha Recipe – Aval Upma – Quick breakfast with flattened rice
Hi Folks,
Poha Recipe – Aval Upma – Quick breakfast with flattened rice, peanuts and onions – Aval Upma called as Poha in North India is an easy, simple breakfast prepared by cooking soaked flattened rice with onions and peanuts.
Normally Tamil people would have Idly/Dosa/Upma for their breakfast. But, many people would run farther whenever they hear the word 'Upma'. 😀 There are loads of Upma varieties – Arisi Upma, Rava Upma, Wheat rava Upma, Semiya Upma, Ragi Semiya Upma etc. They would make a proper full-supplement delicious breakfast when accompanied with matching chutney/sambhar/kothsu. They are easy to prepare and would mostly be preferred by Bachelors/Bachelorettes for breakfast. Here is one simple but delicious recipe for Aval Upma commonly referred to as POHA.
Growing up, I was never a big fan of upma varieties and never touched them. My mom would prepare dosa for me whenever she prepared upma at my home. Luckily, they never served upma in my college hostel too (Not so lucky, I could have killed a few people with my hostel IDLIES in a single hit 😐). Once I was at home for my study hols and I was reading ( ??!??!!? ) something. As I was reading, I saw my Thatha (Grandfather) rushing in and out of the dining hall very frequently munching something. He normally used to eat very less irrespective of whether he liked or not. Out of curiosity, I opened and saw what it was there in the hot pack and to my surprise, I saw steaming 'Aval Upma' in there. I had already had dosa then, so I rushed to tell my mom that Thatha seemed to have like it so much. My mom was so glad hearing that and then she asked me to try that. Saying that, she put a spoonful of that AVAL Upma into my mouth and that moment I realized that UPMAs are all not that bad like I had been assuming ( After started my own cooking while I was staying with my friends, UPMAs are the ones that kept me alive, that is a different story 😛). Good thing is her poha recipe is quite simple too. She prepares so many flavors of POHA (Sweet, Tamarind, Lime, Dhal flavored) all of which would be so delicious. I would post them soon for you guys. Over to my mom's delicious poha recipe – Onion Aval Upma – Kanda Poha from Home-Making-Delight with step by step photos.
Poha Recipe | Aval Upma recipe | Kanda Poha recipe | Quick breakfast with flattened rice | Easy tiffin varieties | onion poga recipes | Attugulu Upma | Avalakki Upma | Poha | Chewra recipes | Easy Pohe recipe | Rice flakes recipes | Cooking with beaten rice
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time : 5 minutes
Serves: 3
- Aval ( Flattened Rice) : 2 cups
2) Ginger – a small piece (Grated)
3) Green Chillies -4
4) Curry leaves – a few (as per your taste)
5) Peanuts – 2 tbsp
6) Cashew nuts – 5 (Optional)
7) Salt – As needed
8) Tamarind – a small pinch (Optional)
9) Water – half a cup
10) Mustard (Kadugu) – 1 tsp
11) Asafoetida (Hing/ Perungayam) – A small pinch
12) Urad dhal (Ulundhu): 1 tsp
13) Oil – 4 tbsp
14) Channa dhal (Kadalai parupu) – 2 tsp
15) Onions – 3 – 4 (Big/Medium)
16) Finely chopped potatoes, peas, carrots – 1/2 cup [Optional]
To Garnish:
Chopped coriander leaves – a few tbsp
Preparation Method:
1) Soak the tamarind in water. I have used the tamarind paste which would not take much time to get dissolved. If you are using tamarind, let it get soaked in hot water for 15 minutes and then throw away the tamarind residue. Add salt and turmeric powder to this tamarind water.
2) Wash and rinse the Aval (Flattened rice) to wash away the impurities, if any. Skip, if your beaten rice is good.
3) Soak the aval in the tamarind mixture prepared in step one for 5 minutes.
4) Heat oil in a kadai and add mustard seeds. When it pops, add urad dhal, channa dhal, ginger, chillies and curry leaves. You can add peanuts now. Or, check bottom notes for more instructions. Add chopped veggies, if adding.
5) Take care not to burn the dhal added. Then, add onions and saute until they turn translucent.
6) Then, squeeze the extra water from the soaked rice flakes completely and add to the sauteed onions.
7) Just, saute in medium flame for a minute and then switch the stove off.
8) Garnish with Cilantro leaves and serve hot with a chutney of your choice 🙂 I don't need a chutney for poha. 🙂 But, you can pair with coconut chutney, if you want.
- You can skip the tamarind part from this poha recipe.
- Add cashews and peanuts roasted in ghee to give it a rich taste.
- Two types of AVAL are available in the market – Thin and thick ones. I used the thin variety which doesn't need much soaking time. Just a minute or two would be fine. If you are using the thick ones, you can soak it for 5 minutes. Don't over-soak the aval in water as this might make the dish watery. Squeeze out the water completely after soaking.
- Don't reduce the number of onions in this poha recipe. Whenever we prepare any dish which are known to be bland, adding more onions would do the trick. 🙂

How To Have Sex On All The Furniture: An Important Guide
Photo: Asiaselects (Getty)
If the bed were an ice cream flavor, it would be vanilla. Well, at least from a sexual perspective. While it is the rudimentary space for coitus, the best sex (in my opinion, at least) is that which challenges tradition — meaning, it likely won't be happening in the bedroom. I'm not saying bedroom sex is bad, because it isn't, but sometimes it's better when done elsewhere, because it's more spontaneous.
Since most homes are filled with the furniture I've presented below, there's no reason to stay there when making whoopie. So head downstairs and have some fantastic sex on the following pieces of furniture, would you?
1. Rocking Chair
The trick to having sex in a rocking chair is for the male (you) to remain seated as the lady backs up until you're engaged in the "Caboose" position (this means the male spoons the female while seated from behind). The rocking function of the chair makes thrusting effortless while the man's hands are free to explore her body.
2. Office Swivel Chair
This piece of furniture puts the lady in charge. Sit down and have your partner sit on your lap while facing away. From here, she can do whatever she wishes. I recommend using the ergonomic arm rests for leverage, and somehow incorporate the swivel ability and wheels to your advantage. How? I'm not sure. Get creative!
3. Foot Rest
Ask your lady to get on her knees, rest her elbows on the foot rest, and spread her legs wide. Then you, the male, enter doggy-style, and thrust as hard as you'd like, as she can use her arms to stabilize herself and remain in the position.
4. Kitchen Counter
The countertop is usually the ideal height for the "butterfly" position, which is ideal for deep penetration. To do this, have the lady sit on the edge of the counter and spread her legs, allowing you to penetrate as you stand. From this position you can easily touch her breasts and her clitoris. Which you should always do.
5. Bathtub
Water may not be the best lubricant for sex, but the bathtub is one hell of a location for sensual coitus. Just draw a warm bath and the two of you can get intimate in the bubbles and ultimately go to town on each other. A tip? Turn the lights off and add candles. Because romance is always a nice touch.
6. Coffee Table
The female participant will lay down on the cool surface of the coffee table with her legs open and slightly bent. Then, placing your arms on either side of the table, perform a push-up as you lower yourself into her. This position is known as the "mountain climber."
7. Park Bench
This one's a bit more difficult. On the park bench (because public sex is so much hotter), lay her down so that only her shoulders and head are supported on the bench. You then must stand between her legs and lift them up to your waist, using those elevated hips to reach deeper than ever before.
8. Dining Room Table
You know how in the movies couples tend to swipe the dinner table of all food and destroy each other sexually in an erotic montage. Do that. And while you're there, experiment with positions on top, alongside, and perhaps even under the table.
9. Bean Bag Chair
Kicking it old school. If you're fortunate to still have a bean bag chair in your home, mold it to assist in any position you'd like to try. My advice, angle the chair so that her hips are elevated so you can penetrate deeper and stimulate the G-Spot. This will have a similar effect to placing a pillow under her hips during more traditional bedroom sex. Since the bean bag chair is soft and malleable, it lends itself to a variety of positions.
10. Hammock
Using the width of the hammock, you must lay her down so that her upper back and head are supported by the hammock, then bring her legs up as high up as possible, spreading them wide. You should then lie down on top of her and enter missionary-style. A good thrusting motion will influence the hammock to swing, which feels just as fantastic as it is helpful.

President Ilham Aliyev received President of Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has today received a delegation led by President of the Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities Herbert Winter.
President Ilham Aliyev pointed at a broad program of the visit of the delegation of the Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities to Azerbaijan, adding that it included numerous meetings and events. The head of state expressed his confidence that the trip would be a good opportunity for them to learn more about the country.
President Ilham Aliyev described the coexistence of various religious and ethnic groups in Azerbaijan in an atmosphere of peace and friendship for centuries as one of Azerbaijan's greatest treasures. The head of state said the Jewish community in the country was an active part of our society. Stressing that Azerbaijan promoted the values of multiculturalism, peace and religious tolerance, President Ilham Aliyev said the country proclaimed 2016 as a year of multiculturalism. The head of state stressed the importance of bringing multiculturalism into the spotlight at a time when it was suppressed in a number of regions around the globe. President Ilham Aliyev said most of the countries were multinational, highlighting the significance of ensuring tranquility in every country. The head of state said Azerbaijan was one of the countries that could be cited as a good example from this point of view. President Ilham Aliyev noted that the Jewish community had great history in Azerbaijan and preserved their identity and traditions, stressing the community's contributions to the countrys development.
President of the Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities Herbert Winter said their meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev would be the most memorable part of their visit. He noted that the main aim of the visit was to get closely familiarized with the peaceful coexistence of various intercultural, ethnic and religious groups in Azerbaijan. Herbert Winter noted that Azerbaijan was one of a few countries that paid enormous attention to multiculturalism. He underlined the importance of the meetings that they would hold with members of various religious communities in Azerbaijan. Herbert Winter said they came from Switzerland, where the International Committee of the Red Cross was founded, adding that the principles of peace and safety were of great interest.
President of the Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities Herbert Winter described Azerbaijan as a truly beautiful country, which achieved great economic progress and, in general, made accomplishments in all areas. He also hailed the development of bilateral relations between Switzerland and Azerbaijan.

Timothy Jost and others who represent consumers in proceedings at the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) are scoffing at the idea that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA) will have little effect on the small-group health insurance market.
The NAIC consumer reps talk about how they see PPACA affecting the small group market in a comment on efforts to update the NAIC Stop-Loss Insurance Model Act of 1995.
Some are arguing that states or federal agencies should impose new minimum size limits on the stop-loss market, to keep small groups from using stop-loss programs to evade new PPACA insurance rules.
The ERISA Working Group, a part of the NAIC's Health Insurance and Managed Care Committee, has posted the consumer reps' comments and other stop-loss model update comments in the working group's section of the NAIC website.
The working group plans to convene Aug. 11 in Atlanta, at the NAIC's summer meeting.
Employers that self-insure often buy stop-loss insurance — insurance for group health plans — to limit their losses. A stop-loss program might include a "specific attachment point," or per-employee deductible, and it might also include an "aggregate attachment point," or whole-plan deductible.
State insurance regulators oversee the stop-loss market. The NAIC has some influence over the state stop-loss rules through the 1995 stop-loss model.
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) has exempted self-insured plans from the state benefits requirements that apply to fully insured group health plans, and PPACA now exempts self-insured plans from having to meet many of the new PPACA requirements.
Some PPACA watchers have suggested that small employers may try to use self-insured plans and stop-loss programs with low attachment points to avoid having to comply with PPACA.
Stop-loss market advocates and employer groups have argued that the small and midsize stop-loss plans now in the market tend to have lower administrative costs than insured plans and richer benefits, and that putting new, PPACA-related restrictions on self-insurance plans and stop-loss insurance could backfire, by increasing the cost of small and midsize group plans and reducing employers' and workers' access to the type of high-quality coverage they now enjoy.
The Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA), an arm of the U.S. Labor Department, and other federal agencies put out a request for comments on the matter in April.
Members of the NAIC's Self-Insurance Subgroup have said they think an outside report done by actuaries in the Chicago office of Milliman Inc., supports the idea of increasing the amount of risk that a small employer that uses stop-loss insurance must keep before the stop-loss insurance kicks in.
Will Anything Really Change?
The ERISA Working Group is one of several arms of the NAIC looking at stop-loss market rules.
Jost and the other consumer reps note in their comment letter that commenters who oppose new stop-loss rules have raised procedural questions, such as whether the ERISA Working Group has the authority to look at the matter; whether updating the 1995 model act would be the right way to adjust stop-loss attachment points, if any adjustments are needed; and whether the stop-loss industry has enough chance to respond the stop-loss proposals under consideration.
The consumer reps note that opponents of changing the model also say changes are unnecessary because, in their view, PPACA "does not make major changes in the small group market."
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) "prohibits group insurance from health status discrimination within groups and that all states limit small group underwriting and a few require some form of community rating in small group markets," the consumer reps write.
"The [PPACA] goes further, however, by prohibiting health status and gender underwriting in small group market, limiting age rating, and imposing market wide risk pooling and risk adjustment requirements," the reps say. "These requirements do not apply to stop-loss insurers."
Today, the reps say, "a healthy small group that chooses to self-insure faces the risk that if its experience deteriorates it will face much higher renewal rates in both the insured and stop-loss market."
Under the rules set by PPACA, "a group whose experience deteriorates would still likely face higher renewal rates in the stop-loss market," the reps say.
But the group with the deteriorating experience could then get coverage through the "health insurance exchange," or Web-based health insurance supermarket, that PPACA is supposed to create, the reps say.
The small group could then buy insurance at a standard rate set on a community basis, rather than a rate based on the small group's claims, the reps say.
"A clearer invitation to cherry picking and adverse selection is hard to imagine," the reps say. "This situation has been recognized by insurance advisors. A recent article, for example, advises employers: 'You should certainly review your past claims experience over the last several years. If your claims have been low, self-insurance may make sense. You should also examine your employee demographics. For example, if your employees are mostly young and healthy, it might be cost effective to self-insure their health-care expenses.'"
State regulators also are acknowledging that a likelihood of adverse selection exists, the reps say.
Some PPACA consumer protection rules apply both to insured and self-insured plans, but the PPACA essential health benefits rules, which describe what benefits must be offered by a plan, and the PPACA minimum medical loss ratio (MLR) rules and health insurance cost increase review rules do not apply to self-insured plans, the reps say.
"An employee enrolled in a self-insured small group will receive significantly less protection under the [PPACA] than one covered by a fully-insured group," the reps say.
The reps say they think issuing guidelines on stop-loss attachment points would be an appropriate response to the adverse selection risk.

White water kayaking is one of our favourite sessions. We are kayakers at heart, and love to teach other people. The excitement of boucying through waves, sliding down drops and exploring the river is second to none.
But what we realised was that many people wanted to try White water kayaking, but were concerned about being stuck in the kayak upside down.
So to ensure safety and to remove worries we use specialist white water sit on top kayaks. They have all the perfomance of a normal white water kayak, but you sit on it. So its more stable, you cant get stuck in it, and if you do fall in then you just flip it over and climb back on.
This basically means your white water kayak session is much more full of paddling the white water, and we can enjoy more challenges in a safer way.
2 hours - £29 per person
White Water kayak taster is one of our most exciting fun sessions. We absolutley love these White water Sit on top Kayaks. They make the river Dee huge amounts of fun and none of the hassles of falling in. You just flip them over and climb back on.
We start the kayak taster off on an easy flat section of the river Dee next to our centre here in Llangollen , where you get to grips with controllng the White water kayaks, then off we go. We run down classic rapids such as tombstones, middle drop, and factory falls. Add in some seal launching, surfing waves and belly kayaking and you have an amazing way to play on the river.
All kit, and instruction is included, all you need to do is bring a towel, old trainers and swimwear for under a wetsuit.
3.5 hours - £48 per person
Take all the fun of the two hour taster session and add more. Thats the recipe for the Half Day white water kayak session. Using our White water Sit on top Kayaks, means you have none of the hassles of falling in. You just flip them over and climb back on. This means more time having fun on the River Dee. But also it makes White water kayaing much safer as you cannot get trapped upside down in them.
The session will be based on the River Dee, right next to our centre here in LLangollen, so you get maximum time on the water, running ace rapids, like middle drop, tombstones, camp site and maybe serpents tail. On the half day session we tend to go on a little journey and explore more of the river too.
All kit, and instruction is included, all you need to do is bring a towel, old trainers and swimwear for under a wetsuit.

The oldest portions of the Great Wall of China date back 2,300 years. It's an awe-inspiring architectural and engineering marvel. Some of the oldest portions of the wall are still standing today. What has contributed to the longevity of this wall? The mortar!
With the butt and pass style of log home building, the horizontal joints formed by stacking wall logs require chinking – and lots of it depending on the quality of your logs. For the bunk house, I decided to use a time-proven mortar recipe. It's cheap compared to the synthetic products on the market today. I estimated the cost of using the synthetic chink for the bunk house to be $1,500. The mortar chink was batched for less than $125 in material – all bought at the local hardware store.
The materials in the mortar for the bunk house are almost identical to those used in the Great Wall. An additional ingredient was found in the mortar that many experts claim have added to its longevity – rice flour. Although I didn't use rice flour in my batch, I will be experimenting with some test batches for the house build. Hopefully I can incorporate this into the chink.
The recipe for the mortar chink consists of 3 parts sand, 1 part Portland type I-II cement, 1/2 part hydrated lime, and water. I purchased a used electric mixer for $50 that makes the perfect batch size. It takes about 15 minutes to batch the mortar.
Before the mortar is placed in the chink joint, the joint was prepared with bonding nails and insulation. The nails bond the hardened chink to the bottom log of the joint. When the logs shrink they maintain their horizontal axis as they shrink towards their centers. This does open gaps between the logs. By bonding the mortar to the bottom log with the nails, the gap always opens at the top – making for easier maintenance down the road.

Failing to warm-up means your muscles will be tight before you start working out, so executing the perfect movement will be slightly more difficult.
So if you're lacking inspiration behind your warm-ups and need a bit of a boost, read our explainer before you next head to the gym.
Why are warm-ups so important?
"A good warm-up is essential to help prevent injury and also to ensure that you can exercise effectively," said Fiona Crossley, F45 Kingston co-founder, and PT.
What's happening to our body when we are warming up?
As the muscles warm up, the blood flow and oxygen supply to them increase. This activates the connections between your nerve and muscles, which improves the efficiency of movement. Ultimately, we are preparing our body for the (more intense) movement that follows.
How long should we spend on warm-ups?
Wanless said anywhere from five to 10 minutes is sufficient enough to get all the muscles firing and the blood flowing nicely through the body. Make sure you focus on all the major muscle groups during your warm-up and ensure you can feel your heart rate increasing.

The LUCCHI&GUASTALLI Company is located in Santo Stefano Magra, in La Spezia area, on the route of the ancient Via Francigena, in the middle of Lower Lunigiana. The company is close to famous touristic destinations, such as the Cinque Terre, Lerici, Portovenere and Versilia; it is also near to interesting medieval towns like Sarzana.
- The DOP Ligurian olive grove -
The olive grove is just a few minutes from the mill. The olive trees mostly belong to the local variety called "Razzola"; the trees are placed in terraced terrains, which is the typical Ligurian way of plantation.
Here Marco Lucchi, the owner, could explain the different stages of olive trees cultivation, and describe the phytosanitary defense techniques, including organic farming methods.
- The "ecological"oil mill -
The mill, located a short distance from the olive groves, lies near the ancient "Via Francigena". During the visit to the plant, are described both the different stages of oil production, and the low environmental impact technologies that are used in the mill.
The LUCCHI&GUASTALLI oil mill uses a 2-step continuous plant, which is characterized by rational water management: the plant has been the first in Liguria, to introduce a new production cycle, that don't produce waste. Olive's kernel is recovered as ecological fuel and reused for water heating, while the "sansa" is sent to biogas plants, where it is used to produce electricity.
- The footages -
In the multimedia room, it is possible to watch some short footages about olive harvest and mill process, thus attending to the whole production cycle.
- Practical lesson about oil tasting technique -
Dr. Marco Lucchi, lead panel at the Apol Tasting Commission in Genoa, will teach us the secrets of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, through a tasting technique lesson. Different products are compared, to learn to distinguish a real quality olive oil from a poor quality oil, or a new oil from an old one, and so on.
- Tastings -
At the end of the visit, our Company offers you a tasting of its Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and other typical Liguria products, such as Testaroli seasoned with Pesto Genovese, or different types of "Bruschetta" (bread) accompanied by typical Ligurian sauces. We'll end with a glass of excellent Vermentino DOC wine.
The mill has a point sale.

An excerpt:
From his humble roots as country boy raised in the Utah desert, Browning's ongoing dealings with Fabrique Nationale would find him a second home in Belgium. In his typical do-it-yourself philosophy, Browning taught himself French so he would not be limited to using a translator to converse with the FN craftsmen. Among the local citizens of Liege, the six-foot tall Browning became a familiar sight as he took frequent walks wearing his broad-brimmed hat and cape. Such was his reputation at FN, he was respectfully referred to as "Le Maitre," or "The Master." In 1914, in appreciation for help making FN a world-class arms manufacturer, he was knighted to the order of Leopold by King Albert of Belgium. Browning found such awards embarrassing; in no small part for the expected ribbing he would receive from his country-bred brothers on the royal title "Sir" now prefacing his name. Few men live to enjoy such acclaim and recognition while alive. Fewer still are those that do not let fame change them. Notwithstanding all the wealth and recognition he received during his lifetime, Browning was never happier than being at his workbench working on a new gun. His brothers told how he would seldom bother to change from his dress clothes after entering the shop, but would just jump right in to work. His work ethic was best summed up by his mother, Elisabeth, who reminiscing on John as a young child using tools, would close with the oft-repeated statement; "And there's been grease on John's face to this blessed day!"
Good read on John Browning

Olympus E-M1 II: In-depth image quality analysis, performance analysis + a look at High Res shot mode
posted Saturday, November 5, 2016 at 7:57 AM EDT
Based on terrific interest thus far from our readers in our First Shots and Field Test Pt I for the Olympus E-M1 Mark II, we didn't want to waste any time bringing you a deeper dose of coverage in the way of our in-depth analysis of the test results from our laboratory. So please dive in at any point you'd like, and below are links to our just-published options for your perusal.
We'll start with our signature Image Quality Analysis page, where our Technical Editor Zig Weidelich pits 1:1 crops from our Still Life test target images against the Olympus E-M1, Canon 7D Mk II, Fuji X-T2, Nikon D500 and Panasonic GX8. Interested in how the E-M1 II stacks up against these enthusiast competitors? This is a great place for lots of in-depth analysis and is followed by a special supplement to discuss the High Res shot mode, similar to the one we saw in the PEN-F earlier this year.
And don't miss our signature Print Quality Analysis, where we literally print our Still Life test target at every available ISO and at varying sizes to determine just which sizes you can expect to achieve at good quality for each ISO setting along the range.
"ISO 800 shots at 20 x 30 inches come oh-so-close to passing our "good" grade, as there is still a very good degree of fine detail available, but mild softening in the red channel and some apparent noise in flatter areas of our target prevent us from officially calling these "good". You'll be fine for less critical applications, but for your more critical prints, we advise a reduction in size to 16 x 20 inches here, which is still a nice size and offers virtually no apparent noise nor artifacts from noise reduction processing."
Lastly, make sure and pay a visit to our E-M1 II Performance page, where we analyze the lab results for everything from shutter response to burst modes, and we also examine the new Pro Capture mode as well.
Time to dive in!
