DANIEL BERLIN KROG, SWEDEN, 91 p
In a line of business where sustainable choices are rarely a priority, it means the world to find a first-class restaurant so earnestly struggling to achieve just that – transparent sustainability. Daniel Berlin doesn't always address the subject; the commitment to his restaurant feels both natural and genuine. The produce is, of course, in focus. However, both the staff and the dining room materials are given a great deal of thoughtful consideration, offering a refreshing and more personable experience at this pastoral establishment.

In his latest "Dear Grandson," Stan Gerding writes to his grandson about the Korean conflict and presidential politics, TV shows and entertainment, and what $1.50 could buy.
Dear Grandson,
When I was a little guy, five or six years old, the Korean conflict (war) was happening. Of course, I had no clue what that was all about. Hell, I couldn't read, so newspapers were out of the question and I never understood what was being said on the news on the radio.
I do know my parents were always discussing the presidential election of 1952 and it seemed that my parents who were registered Democrats were leaning to vote for Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Republican nominee. What I couldn't understand was his opponent was a Catholic and we were Catholics, who could figure? I was only five years old.
We didn't have a TV until I was seven or eight. When we got one, guess who got to choose what we were going to watch? My parents of course were the ones to choose programming. The only time I got to pick was on Saturday morning when all the kids shows were on like Sky King, The Lone Ranger, My Friend Flicka, and Superman. You get the picture.
My dad's brother would come to the house on Friday nights for the Friday Night Fights. I got to watch some of the greats like Sugar Ray Robinson, Archie Moore, Rocky Marciano and … you are probably wondering, Who in the heck are these guys?! Google them, my grandson, and learn who they were. The only bad thing about watching those Friday night fights was the fact that my dad and uncle would sit there and snack on Limburger cheese and onion; and let me tell you, you don't even want to smell that stuff!
I always spent a lot of time outdoors playing with my friends. We played kick the can, hide and seek, cops and robbers, and of course rode our bikes. My bike was a hand-me-down from my brothers. It was old and had been painted about three or four times. I loved my bike and loved riding with my buddies. When we rode, there was usually ten or twelve of us, almost seemed like a gang. Well, I guess we were a gang … a gang of kids!
As I got older, I would cut our grass and a few of our neighbors' yards and earned a little money. In the winter, I would earn a little money shoveling snow for people around the town. One time, I remember making a dollar fifty after shoveling five walkways for people. $1.50 was a lot of money in those days. I'll give you an idea what that could buy at a grocery store: one loaf of bread, a pound of hot dogs, a jar of mustard, a quart of milk, and a box of cookies. You could buy a brand-new car for less than $2000, depending on the car.
I always spent a lot of time outdoors playing with my friends. We played kick the can, hide and seek, cops and robbers, and of course rode our bikes. My bike was a hand-me-down from my brothers.
Still, times were hard, and wages were minimal. When Christmas was approaching, my mother would tell us boys to pick one toy out of the Sears or Spiegel catalog and that was our Christmas present that year.
I was really into music in the mid '50s. My mother bought me a record player for Christmas and my brothers each gave me a 45-rpm record. Every week, I would ride my bike down to Newport and buy a hit record for that week. I started to have quite a collection of records and I would play them over and over again. I would also sing along with them and at times I would sing the songs without the music. That was the start of my singing days.
By the way, your dad has my old collection of records and I am sure he has made you listen to them.
Well, that's all I have for you this day. More to come, Grandson.

From Player to Parent
Jared Dull is both a parent and a volunteer coach with the Harrisonburg Little League Association. Dull balances supporting his players while working full time, serving as a longtime member of the Harrisonburg community. Born in Staunton and raised in Harrisonburg, Dull played on little league teams up until he went to Harrisonburg High School before graduating in 2004.
Jared Dull shares his joy for the game with his three children, Troy, Charlie and EJ. His son Troy is starting his fourth year with HLLA. "He had a bat in his hand before he was two years old," said Dull. He believes baseball offers important values and lessons on teamwork that other sports simply cannot imitate. "It's the best team sport I know of, because it requires everyone to come together. So I tried to make sure my sons had a similar experience to what I had growing up." Both Charlie and EJ are entering into their second year with the HLLA.
The recipient of a local "Little League World Series" trophy, Dull cherishes his memories of playing for the Minnesota Twins. To this day, he stays in touch with many of his old teammates, some who went on to play at the collegiate level for programs such as Virginia Tech.
Having lived in the area his whole life, Dull has seen first hand how both Harrisonburg, and its league have grown over the years. "I have seen Dean work hard to make HLLA bigger and to increase participation. He did it his own way, and he's really getting the community more involved."
Dull is a prime example of the dedicated parents that maintain the all-star reputation of the HLLA. From player to parent to assistant coach, Dull will be entering the 2019 season as a returning head coach for a farm league baseball team. "I try to get my hands involved in just about everything we do. My whole family gets involved with fundraising."
While his role as a dad brought him back into the league, he explained how local community members can support the league regardless of if they have children who play.
"My team sponsor doesn't have kids but is invested in baseball. There is no better way to serve than to serve your local community, all while getting your name out there," he said.

- 2 tbsp olive oil organic, fairtrade
- 1 onions organic, peeled, finely chopped
- 500 g lean minced beef organic
- 25 g fresh coriander organic, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard organic
- 1 eggs organic, beaten
- 1 dash salt
- 1 dash black pepper organic, fairtrade, freshly ground
- 10 g butter organic
- 4 corn on the cob organic
- 4 bread rolls organic (optional)

- In a large bowl, mix the mince, coriander, mustard and egg. Add the onions and season with salt and pepper.
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into 4 equal sized burgers.
- Rub the butter on the corn on the cob and wrap them individually in foil, twisting the end. Place on the hot BBQ and turn over after about 10 minutes. They should be cooked in 20 - 25 minutes. Alternatively, you can boil the cobs for 10 minutes. Don't add salt to the water as this will make the corn tough.

ADHD and Adults: Are You Believing these Erroneous Beliefs?
When you're first diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you might have mixed emotions. On the one hand, you might feel relieved to finally have an explanation for your symptoms. You might be relieved to know why you regularly lose your wallet and keys; can't tolerate boredom; have a hard time concentrating; are easily distracted by seemingly everything sometimes but have a laser-like focus other times; and can't seem to finish things.
On the other hand, you might feel disappointed, angry or ashamed. You might think there's something seriously wrong with you. You might bash and berate yourself, believing that you've found proof of your inadequacies. Clearly, I'm lazy. I'm just not disciplined enough. I'm such an idiot. I'm such a failure. I can never do anything right!
You also might adopt unhelpful perspectives that only exacerbate your negative thoughts and stop you from navigating ADHD successfully. Below, clinical psychologist and ADHD expert Roberto Olivardia, Ph.D, shared two belief systems along with why they're wrong.
Not Using the Label "ADHD"
You might think that using the label "ADHD" limits you. You might worry that using it ensures you'll have a bleak future. Many people have these concerns.
"Many people hate labels, especially when it comes to diagnostic labels," said Roberto Olivardia, also a clinical instructor in the department of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "It is associated with stigma, feeling pigeonholed, and judged." But the name "ADHD" isn't the problem. It's "the ignorance people have about the name."
For instance, individuals may not realize that ADHD is a neurobiological and genetic condition. It isn't caused by poor parenting, laziness or lack of intelligence, Olivardia said.
Also, contrary to popular belief, everyone isn't "a little ADD." Just because everyone can relate to procrastinating, being bored in class, and getting distracted doesn't mean understanding what it's like to have ADHD. "That is like saying that everyone can relate to being an alcoholic because they got drunk once at their friend's wedding."
Olivardia encouraged readers to embrace the label. Not using "ADHD" distances you from decades of research investigating interventions and strategies specifically for people with ADHD.
As he said, "Would we ever do that for a 'medical' issue?" Take the label "diabetic," for instance. "If you were diabetic, it is essential that you know that in order to get proper treatment, so you can live a full, healthy, engaged life."
Believing ADHD is "Curable"
Some books and websites promote the idea that ADHD is curable (and they have the cure.) However, if you see ADHD as a curable condition, you'll (inaccurately) see your symptoms in a vacuum, Olivardia said.
For instance, you might work on your impulsive shopping habit without realizing that you're really struggling with an impulse control issue. That means that your impulsivity may manifest in all sorts of ways: alcoholism, substance abuse, gambling, excessive video gaming, he said.
ADHD isn't something to be cured. Instead, it's a condition to manage, because it's lifelong, Olivardia said. This means maximizing ADHD's strengths, such as creativity, spontaneity and out-of-the-box problem solving, he said. And it means minimizing its pitfalls, such as inattention, distractibility, forgetfulness and a propensity for procrastination.
Managing ADHD takes hard work. But you can absolutely lead a successful and satisfying life. The key is to accept your diagnosis and find strategies that work well for you. Seek professional help from a therapist or coach who specializes in working with adults with ADHD. You also might find it helpful to take medication.
Either way, remember that you're not lazy. You're not stupid. You don't lack discipline, and you aren't a failure. You have a condition that many people have (about three to five percent of the U.S. population). You have a treatable condition that won't stop you from leading a fulfilling life.

Good Morning to U!
Today is a brand new day and the first day of your newfound freedom!
Remember to:
♥ Lock your valuables (cash $$$$$ and card(s), electronic devices, jewelry, etc.) in the safe if you're staying at a hotel
♥ Wear a loose fitting zip-up top, loose fitting bottoms, and shoes that are easy to slip on
Bring with you to Dr. Lee's office:
♥ $120 cash for the nurse
♥ ~$50 cash (I prefer this method over passing your debit/credit card around) or card for the taxi ride to Dr. Lee's office
♥ ~$110 cash or card for payment of your medication from Dr. Lee.
♥ The waiver forms for Dr. Lee, read and signed by you
♥ Directions from the place you're staying to Dr. Lee's office printed (just incase) for the taxi driver. Be sure both addresses are printed.
♥ Reverse directions from Dr. Lee's office to your place of stay for your nurse.
~ My Journal ~
I really didn't sleep at all last night! I was SO excited! I was like, OMG, my life's going to change… What's it going to be like? Planning for the trip and the days leading up to the surgery was so exciting, and here I am in LA, and it's really about to happen! I thought ok, it will be fine, because I'm coming back to sleep at the hotel for a few days anyway, so I will be ok without much sleep before surgery.
I'm up all night looking at pretty Asian eyes. Gals from overseas… Korean girls, and other photos of before and after and feeling amazed… like OMG, I'm really doing this! My worries will be GONE.
I'll have extra hours in my days, because I won't have to spend hours getting ready. I will be able to jump in the pool and not have a thought about my layers of eye makeup and false lashes falling off… I will be able to walk around without any eye makeup and feel totally confident. I'll be a free spirit again… like when I was a little girl. My life is going to be EASY. I'm ready.
I think I slept about a half hour last night. I'm up getting ready to go. I vigorously scrubbed my head, shampooing my head twice in the shower again, per Dr. Lee. No eye make up and sunglasses, I wore a loose fitting Victoria's Secret PINK zip-up hoodie and loose fitting Victoria's Secret PINK lounge pants with Uggs. The nurses have to dress you after, so keep that in mind- you want it to be easy for the both of you. After surgery, I made it a bit too easy for them though with the slip on shoes. When they slipped them on, they put them on the wrong feet! … I was blindfolded, but I could feel it~ We had a good laugh.
I went downstairs to catch a taxi to go see Dr. Lee! You just show up downstairs in the front outside the lobby and the taxis are waiting to take you at the Marriott. The ride was about 40 minutes and cost about $45.00.
There's an air of comfort when I walked in the door at Dr. Lee's office. Dr. Lee and his staff are so welcoming and genuinely there for me. The nurses are sincere and sweet. I met one at the front who checked me in and also was there during the surgery, and another Japanese lady who held my hand during part of the surgery. I spoke with her and asked her if she had anything done. Now that I'm sitting here writing this, I believe she gets asked this a lot, but she was so gracious about it! I am so grateful for his staff- they are caring ladies, so while Dr. Lee is focused on the eyes and measurements, the nurses are there for you. Everyone is busy, but they are good people, giving their best with the time they had with me. This experience makes me want to be a nurse! Minus the goriness. I like their supportive nature.

Accidents happen and teeth are not invincible. Even though the enamel that makes up your teeth is the strongest substance in your body, foods, drink, and accidents can greatly damage our teeth. However, thanks to modern medical advancements, there are now numerous ways to restore your smile. Dental prosthetics are often made of materials that make them look virtually identical to natural teeth.
If you have damaged an irreplaceable adult tooth, we understand the pain, frustration, and distress this may cause. After all, having your teeth fall out is a common literal nightmare! If you are seeking options to restore damaged or lost teeth in Sherwood Park through dentures, fillings, or other devices, consult with us today on how to restore your beautiful smile.
Dentists once removed teeth quite liberally. Nowadays, extractions are only performed if necessary. At Emerald Hills Dental Centre, we offer sinus repair and bone grafting treatments, as well as wisdom teeth surgery.
Bone Grafting
Bone Grafting is used in order to preserve or build up bone levels to allow replacement of teeth using implants.
Wisdom Teeth
Removing wisdom teeth helps prevent future dental problems. Not everyone gets wisdom teeth and not everyone needs to have them removed, but wisdom teeth cause problems when they grow in at odd angles, affecting your other teeth. Wisdom teeth are also more difficult to clean since they are so far back, so removing them lets you avoid infection. At Emerald Hills Dental Centre, we can provide oral surgery for difficult and impacted wisdom teeth.
If you have damaged teeth or have lost teeth altogether, prosthetic teeth are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
Dentures are prosthetic replacement teeth for those who have lost multiple or all of their teeth. Partial or removable dentures are suitable for those who can't support a bridge with their existing teeth. The dentures are held in place by a clasp that fits over natural teeth. Complete dentures are used to replace total loss of teeth, and are held in your mouth through suction.
Implants are an option for those who have lost one or multiple teeth. Implants are basically artificial roots made of titanium that are inserted directly into your jawbone. An abutment is attached to the implant and a prosthetic tooth is attached to the abutment. Implanted teeth look and act much like natural teeth so you brush and floss them the same way. If you require full dentures, you can also opt for non-removable implant dentures.
Beyond pleased and highly recommend! A non-scary dentist and awesome staff that make the phone calls and visits super enjoyable! Clean establishment. Affordable with or without insurance. Understanding and non-judgemental group, no matter what the situation. I've had all my needs met (whether needing to get in ASAP or, being super understanding for having to cancel an appointment (life happens) & for making being at the dentist super comforting..
If you have accidentally knocked out a tooth, visit a dentist for an emergency appointment as soon as you can. Meanwhile, take note of the following tips:
For more information on restorative and surgical treatments such as crowns, bridges, and dentures in Sherwood Park, please get in touch with Emerald Hills Dental Centre.

Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama had stuck his foot in his mouth once again, saying that if he were president, he would not use nuclear weapons "in any circumstance" to fight terrorism in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
"I think it would be a profound mistake for us to use nuclear weapons in any circumstance," Obama said, with a pause, "involving civilians."
Then, he flopped. "Let me scratch that. There's been no discussion of nuclear weapons. That's not on the table," he said.
Later, he was asked by Associated Press if he would use nukes to beat terrorism or to catch Usama bin Laden.
"There's been no discussion of using nuclear weapons and that's not a hypothetical that I'm going to discuss."
His remarks drew criticism from chief rival Hillary Rodham Clinton.
"Presidents should be very careful at all times in discussing the use or non-use of nuclear weapons. … I don't believe that any president should make any blanket statements with respect to the use or non-use of nuclear weapons," Clinton said.
The Illinois senator's fumble came just a day after he warned U.S. ally Pakistan he would put U.S. troops in Gen. Pervez Musharraf's country to root out terrorists, and just two weeks after Obama said he'd meet with dictators of dangerous rogue nations such as Iran and North Korea.
Pakistan's political instability, and its possession of nuclear weapons, has some worried Musharraf could be replaced by religious fanatics.
Pakistan has nuclear weapons and is politically unstable, raising concerns that the current military leadership could be replaced by religious fanatics who would be less cautious in using the weapons.
Fleshed out in yesterday's speech, Obama's foreign policy is shaping up to be a "talk to your enemies, invade your friends" approach to American relations abroad.
Analysts say U.S. military action could risk destabilizing Pakistan, breeding more militancy and undermining Musharraf.
Husain Haqqani, director of the center for international relations at Boston University, said Obama and other candidates should be cautious about moving from President Bush's stance of "putting all of the eggs in General Musharraf's broken basket to the other extreme of just talking too tough without listening to all the nuances."
"They should not look at the sledgehammer approach, because the people of Pakistan are not America's enemies, and any lashing out may create more enemies of the United States there," said Haqqani, an adviser to Pakistani officials.

Kabul [Afghanistan], April 7 (ANI): As ironical as it gets, Afghanistan had accused Pakistan of launching air strikes a day before Pakistani Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi's day-long visit was scheduled to Kabul on Friday, aimed at easing tensions between the two countries.
The air strikes reportedly caused "huge financial damages" in Afghanistan's Kunar border province.
Afghanistan's Foreign Affairs Ministry said, "Afghanistan warns that continuing violations of international norms ... will have further consequences on the relations between the two countries," reported RadioFreeEurope Radio Liberty (RFE/RL).
On Friday, Pakistan dubbed the allegation as "baseless" that it violated Afghan airspace, however.
Later on that day, Abbasi arrived in Kabul.
The delegation held talks with Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani, Afghan Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah and other senior officials in Kabul.
The talks will focus on consolidating bilateral political, economic, security and counter-terrorism cooperation, return of Afghan refugees, combating drug production and narco-trade, the Afghan peace process and regional political and security situation.
According to Afghan presidential spokesman Shah Hussain Murtazawi that bracing peace talks with the Taliban, the return of Afghan refugees who are now in Pakistan, and the exchange of prisoners were high on the agenda of the meeting between Ghani and Abbasi, reported (RFE/RL).
Abbasi's visit to Kabul is his first since becoming prime minister in 2017.
Pakistan and Afghanistan share strained bilateral relationship. Both Kabul and Islamabad steadily purport that the attacks in the two countries were being plotted and carried out by the safe havens located in the two countries.
Earlier this week a high-level Pakistani delegation, headed by Tehmina Janjua, has reached Afghanistan to hold talks with Afghan authorities on the Afghanistan-Pakistan Action Plan for Peace and Solidarity (APAPPS). (ANI)

Sustainability Day
Sunday 9th June, Pleasance Theatre, Islington, London
We need your help to make the theatre and entertainment industry more sustainable! Join us on the 9th June to discuss how we can green up the industry.
As storytellers, we have a unique capacity to explore key issues with audiences on and off the stage. In a warming world, this means taking leadership in communicating the importance of environmental action, whether that be through the content of our projects or the sharing of our practice. Whether you're a green theatre machine, or new to the sustainability game, everyone is welcome! Check out Staging Change at stagingchange.com for sustainability and #SustainableFringe ideas
Sustainable Design Workshop
We'll start our workshop by hearing from top sustainable designers on a range of topics, from set, to lighting, to marketing. We will then get our creative juices flowing with some idea generation games before separating into groups and trying to prototype concepts tackling specific sustainability issues in the theatre and entertainment industry. We will then present our ideas to each other and finish the session with an informal debrief and actions for the future.
Speakers: Tom Harper from Unusual Rigging
Josie and Richard from Adaptive Capacity
Workshop leaders: Dr. Leila Sheldrick, Fernanda Dobal, Shankho Chaudhuri
Panel: Creating A Green Future
Hear from an exciting range of performers, makers and environmental campaigners at our discussion on sustainability in the theatre and entertainment industry. The talk will take place inside the 'Flyer Forest' in Pleasance's StageSpace. Inside the forest, you will be offered the chance cast your vote on what you believe is the most important environmental issue to tackle in industry.

Environment Minister Gwen Malkin's plan to stop climate change is rudely interrupted when a group of eco-terrorists storm Australia's Parliament House during a Fleetwood Mac concert. Blending fact and fiction, David Finnigan's bold new satire is a manic spin on a world on the brink of turmoil.

GAA Director General Páraic Duffy has announced that he will retire from his position on 31 March 2018. This will trigger the succession process for probably the most important single role within Irish sport.
Duffy has held the role since 2008, overseeing a dramatic period of change and development within the Association and always doing so with a sense of calm authority.
He had previously served as Headmaster of St McCartan's College in his native Monaghan, the first to hold that role from outside the religious orders. He had also served as Chairman of the Monaghan County Board.
Speaking to Sport for Business earlier this year as part of our Leading Sport series with PwC, Duffy explained that when it comes to passion that is reserved for Monaghan GAA but he also maintains an active interest in all sports and is a fan of the Boston Celtics, New England Patriots, Tottenham Hotspur and the Boston Red Sox.
Read More: Páraic Duffy Interview in Leading Sport Series
That wide range of sporting interests will have been key to what will hopefully be one of the major legacies he leaves behind, the pledging of the GAA to support the Irish bid to host the Rugby World Cup in 2023.
The New Championship formats he steered through in time for next year's new look fixture list, the introduction of GAAGo to spread the wonder of Gaelic Games to a new and digitally savvy audience around the world will also rate as major achievements as will the now mature relationship that exists between the GAA and the Gaelic Players Association.
Duffy's shoes will be big ones to fill but that was the same ten years ago when he himself stepped up to take on the role from Liam Mulvihill.
The GAA handles change well. It does not move at breakneck pace but it makes sure of its own complex constituency of interests and it always moves forwards. Looking at where it is today versus ten or twenty or more years ago you see the benefit of that approach in the strength it has within Irish society.
Read More: Duffy's Latest Director General Report
The search will now begin for Duffy's successor. Peter McKenna is the most senior member of the current management team who may be a candidate. John Costelloe has transformed the business and the structures of Dublin GAA to take it to where it is. Padraig O'Ceidigh is a member of the GAA board with a history of success in business. Sean Kelly is a former President with a political career in Europe now but who is GAA to the core.
There are many more who would fit the bill, who have dedicated more time to the GAA than most people would ever feel was possible. It will be the most important role for Aogán Ó Fearghail as he himself prepares to hand over the Presidential reigns to John Horan on the same timeline.
"I am privileged to have had the opportunity to serve as Ard Stiúrthóir for the past ten years," said Duffy in his statement announcing his stepping down yesterday.
"I would like to express my thanks to the four GAA Presidents with whom I have worked, Nickey Brennan, Christy Cooney, Liam Ó Néill and Aogán Ó Fearghail, to the members of Central Council, Management Committee, and other national committees, to our staff in Croke Park, and to officials, volunteers and staff at provincial, county and club levels for their constant support and encouragement."
"I look forward to working with Uachtarán Aogán Ó Fearghail and Uachtarán-tofa John Horan on a range of projects over the next few months."
On behalf of the GAA, the President, Aogán Ó Fearghail, sincerely thanked Páraic Duffy for his outstanding service and wished him and his wife Vera and family well for the future.
"Páraic Duffy's vision, energy, integrity and fairness have been key to the Association's growth over the past decade; his contribution has been immense. Tá muid fíor bhuíoch dó agus guíonn muid gach rath ar Pháraic sa todhchaí."
The GAA is among the more than 230 organisations that play an active part in the Sport for Business community.

I have since 2002 worked voluntary at Roskilde Festival. Three years I was responsible for the artist backstage area at the Odeon stage. That included planning the aesthetical identity of the area, artist hospitality, help with production, and supervision of the around 30 volunteers that worked there.
Among other, I started up a cooperation with a local gardener school. A group of students and teachers brought us loads of plants and knowledge, and helped us transform the boring grey containers and dusty gravel into a little oasis, full of green and grass. See the following articles (in Danish).
Orange Stage
In 2014 Odeon closed and I took my competences to the main stage, Orange. Here I was mainly a part of planning and creating the aesthetical identity
Roskilde Festival Entrepreneurs
In 2010 I did a full time internship at the development department of Roskilde Festival. Here I was, among other things, the project developer and manager of an innovation project, where we invited students to develop good ideas for the festival. Have a look here. I was afterwards employed at the project for four months, before I continued my studies.

Tasty Traditions
For many of us, the Thanksgiving table wouldn't be complete without stuffing. Our Sorghum Stuffing with Apples and Mushrooms puts a unique spin on the Thanksgiving classic and is a healthy and delicious gluten-free alternative that incorporates nutrient-dense ingredients. We use whole grain sorghum, mushrooms and apples to transform a traditional side into a nutritious dish that is filled with fiber, vitamins and minerals. Inspired by the earthy flavors of sorghum and walnuts plus the aromatic spices of fresh sage, our recipe is hearty, moist and wonderfully seasoned on the inside and perfectly crispy on the outside–just like your favorite stuffing should be!
Nutrient Booster: Sorghum
Whole grain sorghum offers an abundance of health benefits because of its impressive nutritional profile. This ancient grain is teeming with protein, iron, B vitamins and dietary fiber. It is also high in antioxidants, which help reduce inflammation and lower free radical damage. Because sorghum is low on the glycemic index, it is slowly digested and balances blood sugar, which has been shown to naturally lower diabetes incidences and manage insulin levels. We love using sorghum and sorghum flour for gluten-free cooking and baking; its mild flavor and versatility makes it a perfect wheat substitute in many of our favorite recipes and adds nutrition to any dish.
Perfect Pairs
Cook one today and freeze one for later! Our Sorghum Stuffing with Apples and Mushrooms tastes so good, you will crave it even when the turkey is gone! This recipe makes the perfect side to pair with many of our nutritious main meals. For a well-balanced and healthy dinner, serve this stuffing with a veggie alongside our Tandoori Chicken Thighs or Black Sesame Seed Encrusted Salmon. Any day can feel like a holiday when this delicious traditional favorite becomes a non-traditional staple.
Sorghum Stuffing with Apples & Mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 fresh sage leaves, or1 teaspoon dried sage leaves
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1 cup baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- 2 gala apples, diced with skin on
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 3/4 cup low sodium vegetable broth, water or low sodium chicken broth
- 3 cups whole grain sorghum, cooked (1 cup dried)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Preheat the oven to 350⁰F.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the fresh sage and sauté for a few minutes until lightly browned. Place the sautéed sage in a small dish and set aside. In the same sauté pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, and sauté onions for about 3-4 minutes or until slightly softened. Add the celery and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1-2 minutes, until soft. Season with sea salt, then add the walnuts and apples, stirring until well combined. Pour the white wine over the celery, mushroom and apple mixture and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add the low sodium vegetable broth, sea salt and dried sage (if you are using it) and mix until well combined. Add the cooked whole grain sorghum to the celery, mushroom and apple mixture in the pan and stir well.
Spoon the sorghum mixture into a baking dish, and bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy. Garnish with parsley and the sautéed sage leaves.

Vienna Film Award 2017
"STREIF - One Hell of a Ride" is the winner of the Vienna Film Award 2017 in the category "Best International Documentary"
MANASLU - Mountain of Souls
Filming of Hans Kammerlander's life. Production start: July 2017. locations: South Tyrol - Nepal.
Hans Kammerlanders größter Erfolg, der ihn 1996 weltberühmt werden lies, ist die bis heute schnellste Begehung über die Nordroute zum Gipfel des Mount Everest in 16h 40 min. Gleichzeitig gelang ihm mit dieser Rekordbegehung die erste Skiabfahrt vom Gipfel des höchsten Berges der Welt. Seine schmerzvollste Tragödie erlitt Hans Kammerlander 1991 am 8163 Meter hohen Manaslu in Nepal, wo er zwei seiner besten Freunde verlor. Einer stürzte aus unerfindlichen Gründen ab, der andere wurde wenige Meter neben ihm vom Blitz erschlagen. Hans, selbst in Lebensgefahr, überlebte das Gewitter am Rande des Wahnsinns. Mit der geplanten Besteigung 2017 stellt sich Hans Kammerlander nach 26 Jahren nicht nur erneut dem Manaslu, sondern auch der Tragödie von 1991, die er bis heute nicht verarbeiten konnte.

Bleak, cold, forbidding, steep: the alpine north faces are the epitome of extreme mountaineering. This especially applies to the north faces of the mountains Eiger, Matterhorn, Grandes Jorasses, Piz Badile, Großer Zinne and Aiguille du Dru. Every one of them is part of a well-known and prominent peak, and a milestone of alpine history links every one of the faces. In the 20th century, they embodied those goals which a mountaineer had to have conquered in order to rank among the elite. To this day these faces constitute a popular and at the same time exceedingly dangerous arena for extremes.

Death toll in Dead Sea flash floods rises to 10 as last missing teen found
May 4, 2018
(JNS)-The death toll from flash floods that hit a group of teenage hikers in southern Israel Thursday rose from nine to 10 after a body found overnight was identified as the last missing teen Friday morning.
The ten victims, nine girls and one boy of around 18 years old, were killed during a field trip Thursday during flash floods that pummeled Israel. A group of 25 students, ages 17 and 18, who were accepted to the Bnei Tzion pre-military academy in Tel Aviv for the coming year, were hiking in the Judean Desert along the Nahal Tzafit riverbed trail, that empties into the Dead Sea.
Fifteen other students missing for several hours, were rescued during a massive search and rescue operation that included Israeli Police, the Air Force's 669 rescue team and a regional search and rescue unit. Two were lightly wounded.
Israel's Ministry of Education claims that it was not made aware of the trip, as per protocol. Its director has been arrested for suspected negligent manslaughter.
Minister of Education Naftali Bennett said in a statement, "A heavy tragedy has struck the state of Israel. Our hearts are with the families of the teenagers who found their deaths in flash floods in the south," while adding that "the Ministry of Education will continue, over the coming hours and days, to closely escort the educational staff in the schools the students attended."
Bennett also thanked the search and rescue teams "for their determined work to rescue the boys and girls."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote on Twitter, "The state of Israel grieves the promising young lives that were cut short by this tragedy in the Arava [Desert Region]. We embrace the families in grief, and pray for the speedy recovery of the wounded."
In Israel, rivers fill up with water during the winter rain season, which typically ends around the Passover holiday. The river had been dry for several weeks before unseasonable torrential downpours struck the country on Wednesday and Thursday. During heavy rains, the water in the rivers can rise quickly leading to flash floods. Hikers are warned to steer clear of riverbeds during inclement weather, when they can be notoriously dangerous. When dry, riverbeds are popular hiking destinations.
Two Bedouin teenagers were killed in separate incidents during floods on Wednesday.

Sugar, sugar: Where's it hiding?
There's nothing wrong with a little sugar, says HFG senior nutritionist Rose Carr, but as our food supply has changed many of us have realised we're consuming way too much of it.
First up let's focus on reducing the right types of sugars. It's free sugars we need to worry about: all added sugars, plus any sugars found naturally in a syrup or extract. This includes any sugar you see in an ingredients list on a packaged food, plus sugars found in fruit juice, honey and syrups.
Nutrition information panels on packaged foods don't always help, as sugars are usually all counted together. So we need to look at the ingredients list. But sugar comes in different guises. Here are just some alternative names for sugar you might see: dextrose, maltose, fructose, glucose, any kind of syrup, fruit juice, honey, molasses, corn sweeteners, or any variation of these names. And while you might find a product telling you it has "no added sugar", if fruit juice or honey is in the ingredients list, we know it's there to add sugars. So beware of any claims, and check for yourself.
The sugars we don't need to worry about are those found naturally in milk, fruit, veges and grains. (For more about fruit, see our feature Should you stop eating fruit?)
A word to the wise
Before we get carried away chomping on low-sugar or sugar-free products, let's reflect on why we need to cut down on free sugars. It's not because they're inherently evil. It's because we eat too much of them so they're linked with our increasing weight and dental decay. But let's not swap one baddie for another! The aim is to reduce our kilojoules, protect our teeth, and at the same time focus on more nutrient-dense food.
Know your sugars
Free sugars: the ones to watch
- All added sugars, no matter what they're called
- Any sugars found naturally in a syrup or extract, including fruit juice, honey, maple syrup, molasses, treacle, rice syrup, golden syrup and agave nectar.
Intrinsic sugars are A-OK
- Sugars are naturally found in milk, whole fruit, veges and even grains. They're fine. These come packaged with a whole lot of other valuable nutrients, and we don't tend to overconsume them as all those other nutrients make us feel full. They don't rot our teeth either.
See our meal-by-meal comparison below.
High sugar = 10 teaspoons sugar
- 3/4 cup Kellogg's Nutri-Grain cereal with 3/4 cup trim milk
- 1 slice grainy toast with 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 cup fruit juice
- 1990kJ
- 40g free sugars
We chose the Nutri-Grain cereal as since it doesn't have dried fruit in it, we know all the sugars are added. But that's not the reason this breakfast is so high in free sugars — the cereal adds only 9g. The tablespoon of honey has just over 16g free sugars, and the 1/2 cup of fruit juice a little over 14g. None of these ingredients are in themselves bad; we just need to be aware that if we're having sweet things at every meal and snack, they add up very quickly.
Low sugar = 0 teaspoons sugar
- 2 poached eggs on 2 slices grainy toast
- 1/3 avocado
- 2 tomatoes
- 1900kJ
- 0-2g free sugars
The low-sugar breakfast will keep you going for a lot longer than the high-sugar breakfast, which has similar kilojoules. There could be a very small amount of added sugar in the bread.
High sugar = 6 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 can regular baked beans
- 2 slices toast
- 2 Tim Tam biscuits
- 2210kJ
- 26g free sugars
Even though baked beans are a great food, they can be high in sugar (around 8g in 1/2 can), so choose brands with less sugar or make your own. The 2 biscuits add 18g of free sugars to our day.
Low sugar = 0 teaspoons sugar
- Spiced tuna and rice
- 1 x Peanut and cocoa ball
- 2180kJ
- 0g free sugars*
*Our peanut and cocoa ball has 13.8g sugars from the dried fruit — dates, sultanas and prunes. So, yes, fresh fruit would be better still, but at least the dried fruit comes with lots of other nutrients, including fibre.
High sugar = 7 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- Homemade sweet and sour chicken with rice
- Meringue nest with 1/2 cup berries
- 1/4 cup Greek yoghurt
- 2900kJ
- 30g free sugars
A modern sweet and sour chicken recipe has around 12g free sugars, and this doesn't include the sweetness from the pineapple pieces. The meringue nest adds a whopping 18g free sugars, so save these for special occasions.
Low sugar = 3/4 teaspoons sugar
- Malaysian chicken curry
- 1 slice Chia and walnut slice
- 2725kJ
- 3g free sugars
Unlike many of our dinner recipes, this Malaysian chicken curry includes a teaspoon of sugar, which goes to show we don't need to be completely afraid of sugar.
250ml (1 cup) sugar-sweetened soft drink, eg. lemonade or cola
- 28g free sugars
- 7 teaspoons
Milo made with 3 teaspoons Milo and 250ml trim milk
- 7g free sugars
- 1 3/4 teaspoons
2 Cameo Creme biscuits
- around 10g free sugars
- 2 1/2 teaspoons
1 small bar milk chocolate
- around 25g free sugars
- 6 1/4 teaspoons
Sugar-free snacks
- 1–2 cups natural air-popped popcorn = 0g free sugars
- 25–30g nuts = 0g free sugars
- Small bunch grapes = 0g free sugars
- 1 mandarin = 0g free sugars
This vs that
You won't see free sugars listed on the nutrition panel. We've compared the sugars of a range of yoghurts to make this estimate.
150g pottle sugar-sweetened
- around 17g free sugars
- 4 1/4 teaspoons
150g pottle unsweetened or non-sugar-sweetened
- 0g free sugars
Fruit salad (pear, peach, pineapple)
3/4 cup canned fruit salad in syrup, drained
- around 12g free sugars
- 3 teaspoons
3/4 cup homemade fresh fruit salad
- 0g free sugars
The World Health Organization recommends ideally no more than 6 teaspoons of free sugars per day.

There has been a great deal of fervor in recent years about self-driving car technologies. While proponents say that automatically-driven cars are extremely safe and ready for testing on U.S. roads, critics say that the technology isn't quite there yet.
Even if self-driving technology is safe, however, it raises serious questions about liability. One of the biggest of these is whether the developers of the technology, vehicle owners or a combination of parties will be financially liable in the event that an autonomous car causes an accident and injuries.
Proof that self-driven cars might not be as safe as we thought
An accident involving an autonomously driven Uber SUV and a pedestrian in Arizona is being cited as an example of why self-driven cars might not be ready for the road. The Uber SUV was on automatic mode with a human supervising driver on board at the time it struck and killed a female pedestrian who was crossing the road outside of a crosswalk.
In response to the accident, Uber and Toyota -- which are working with self-driving technology -- have decided to pause their open road testing for the time being. Other automakers are also considering a temporary pause on testing.
Congress is considering a bill to regulate driverless cars
Congress is considering a bill to regulate driverless cars at the moment, but advocacy groups, state officials and others are calling for caution -- as it is their position that we might not be ready for open-road testing of this type.
As for fault in the crash that killed the pedestrian in Arizona, police have said that they don't believe the Uber SUV was at fault. However, if the question of fault were set aside, would the woman still have died if an attentive human driver had been behind the wheel of this sport utility vehicle?
Only time will tell how the legal system will handle autonomous car crashes
It's impossible to predict how the legal system will handle autonomous car crashes in the future. In the meantime, personal injury lawyers, the owners and manufacturers of autonomous cars and the victims of autonomous car crashes may want to pay close attention to how these crashes are handled by their state civil and criminal court systems.

I brought to a shoot one flat of Fiocchi shells. New shells, not reloads, unopened flat.
I shot 100 registered targets in the AM and 100 registered targets in the PM. In my cart I had an extra box for spares (not needed).
Loading the Van at the end of the day I could not find the box of shells (the 10th box) left in the rear of the vehicle. It was there after the first 100 as I saw it when restocking the cart.
Misplaced or Stolen?
I tend to leave the rear of the Van open and I guess that was foolish on my part!
A number of shooters at the club were not shooting registered. I tend to lean in that direction in my thoughts on the missing shells.
If you had asked I would have given them to you...

Advanced LED Lighting
- État: Closed
- Prix: £60
- Propositions reçues: 33
- Gagnant: ciprilisticus
Résumé de concours
I'm looking for a logo suitable to be used for marketing purposes eg. a flyer etc.
UPDATE: These new LED bulbs don't have a filament like old incandescent bulbs, Instead they usually have a plastic body covering the lower half of the bulb: sometimes smooth, sometimes with vertical ridges / fins. Examples can be found on Google images: LED bulb
The business will sell new super energy efficient LED lightbulbs to consumers and possibly businesses. I want the logo to convey the idea that this is the lightbulb of the future and that it is environmentally friendly - each bulb will last around 25 times longer than a standard bulb and save 80 to 90% of the electricity costs.
A rough sketch is attached. I've been advised that the strapline 'See the light ...' below the image can be applied under the logo where necessary so shouldn't form part of the logo. You could advise on this. The arrows were to suggest recycling and could be green in colour. Alternatively one arrow may be better, looping from the 'g' of 'Lighting' could curve round in a clockwise fashion under the bulb to meet with the 'A' of 'Advanced'. my preference is for the logo to contain a lightbulb (yellow or white ie. black outline ?), which can be upright or hanging downwards. The business name 'Advanced LED Lighting', probably not in capitals as in the sketch, could be surrounding the bulb and 'glowing' perhaps. The image should be transparent so probably in GIF or PNG format. No more than 3 or 4 colours eg. black, green, yellow and possibly one other.
I would be looking for the the logo to include full usage rights but the creator will be free to show the logo in his/her portfolio.
Once I have decided upon a logo, I will be looking for an A5 flyer to be designed too, possibly from the same designer.
Many thanks
