Indigenous nations rally to protect Medicine Lake from extractive industrial geothermal desecration — Federal Appeals Court hearing May 14 in Seattle
News Release
Protect Medicine Lake
On Tuesday May 14, 2019 a federal appeals court will hear arguments in a legal battle to protect the sacred Medicine Lake Highlands from threats of geothermal desecration. The Medicine Lake Highlands are held sacred by the Pit River Nation as well as many other Tribal Nations which include but is not limited to the Wintu, Karuk, Shasta, Klamath, Yana, and Modoc peoples.
From time immemorial, Indigenous people have made pilgrimages to the Highlands for healing, religious ceremony, and tribal gatherings. However, for more than 25 years, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has attempted to desecrate and destroy this precious place of deep religious significance, with five proposed geothermal power projects increasing the extraction to a total of 500 megawatts. At issue are 26 geothermal leases, originally executed by BLM in the 1980s with only cursory environmental review and no tribal consultation. However, the federal government entities wish to move forward in appealing the last federal 9th Circuit Court decision in which the decision favored the Tribe and the other Plaintiffs.
The President's Advisory Council on Historic Preservation ("ACHP") has explained, "multiple lines of evidence substantiate the historic and continuing value of the Medicine Lake area and the volcanic caldera it rests in to [the Pit River Tribe and other] Indigenous Peoples in maintaining their traditional cultural integrity.
If approved, industrial-scale geothermal development would desecrate the Medicine Lake Highlands, threaten the underlying aquifer and result in the injection of toxins into the atmosphere and waters. It would have devastating impacts on deeply-held religious views and practices, traditional cultural values, pristine environmental resources, and rare opportunities for safe and responsible recreation. This includes the peaceful enjoyment of this most Sacred of places.
"The Bureau of Land Management's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. If BLM followed their mission, they would not continue to use United States government resources to support corporate interests over that of the public they claim to serve. And by doing so, putting our public health and safety at risk and destroying these lands so future generations will not be able to enjoy them. No new leases in the Medicine Lake Highlands!"
Pit River Tribal Chairwoman Agnes Gonzalez.
"Medicine Lake is our church. It is there we heal our bodies and our spirits."
Cecelia Silvas, Ilmawi Band Elder
"Our sacred lands are all that remain keeping us connected to our place on Mother Earth, to our spirituality, our heritage and our lands; what's left of them. If they take it all away, what will remain except a vague memory of a past so forgotten?"
Bill George Atsugewi Band Elder

"When creating the world, when it was moist, the maker of life stopped here to rest and drink and wash and imparted himself in the water. That's why we respect this place deep in our heart,"
The Late Willard Rhodes, Itsatawi Tribal Council Member, Cultural Representative and Elder
What: Federal Appeals Court hearing. Prayer Vigil & rally, press conference immediately following hearing.
Who: Pit River Tribe, Native Coalition for Medicine Lake Highlands Defense, Mount Shasta Bioregional Ecology Center, Save Medicine Lake Coalition, Medicine Lake Citizens for Quality Environment, Plaintiffs-Appellants; vs. US Bureau of Land Management.
When: Tuesday May 14, 2019

MGI and Konica Minolta Sponsor Elite Super Boat International Racing Team
MELBOURNE, Fla. - May 18, 2018 - MGI and Konica Minolta have created an exciting new corporate sponsorship program to promote their industrial-strength digital print solutions. In 2018, the global print industry partners will participate in the 39th annual Super Boat International race season, which will once again be the premier high-speed, professional power boat racing league worldwide, with competitors cutting through ocean winds and waves at speeds up to 185 mph.
MGI and Konica Minolta are proud to be supporting the Super Boat FB Marine Group #33 vessel. The FB Marine racing team has one of the most successful track records in the professional sports world, with the staff achieving a truly impressive combined total of 12 National Championships and 10 World Championships victories in the last 25 years.
Innovation in Motion
"The power, speed, strength, teamwork and skill of professional offshore powerboat racing reflects the same Industrial Print qualities and values of the MGI and Konica Minolta global partnership of shared digital technology solutions." announced Kevin Abergel, MGI Vice President of Marketing & Sales.
2018 Super Boat Race Season
The first Super Boat Grand Prix race of the season, "Thunder on Cocoa Beach", will be along the Florida Atlantic Coast from May 19-20th. The Konica Minolta & MGI FB Marine Group boat will also be featured at the famous "Miami Air & Sea Show" the following week May 26-27th during the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend. Several of upcoming race events will be nationally televised by the NBC Sports Network, including the 38th Annual World Championship Series in Key West from November 4th-11th.
Intense, High-Speed Aquatic Action
Elite offshore, powerboat race teams from around the world compete from May through October in the U.S. National Series races to earn points and qualify for the famous Key West World Championships. The competitions span a variety of race categories, including the world's biggest and fastest vee-bottom and Catamaran-style powerboats. The Super Boat International organization and championship league concept was founded by John Carbonell in 1989 and the global fan base has been growing ever since.
The dramatic offshore ocean excitement takes place along rectangular courses that average five miles in length. The festival race atmosphere of fun in the sun gets intensely serious when each contest begins, with unpredictable winds and waves challenging each teams' human expertise and marine engineering skills for a thrill-based run for victory at sea.
The FB Marine Group Team
The FB Marine Group is a family owned and operated business, founded in 1994 by Kim and Randy Sweers. The Sweers have followed their vision to build FB Marine Group into one of America's leading luxury, center console and performance marine dealerships with several locations in Florida, offering complete one-stop sales, service, financing, parts, transport, and state of the art storage facilities.
The MGI & Konica Minolta #33 FB Marine Super Boat vessel is piloted by driver Glen Hibbard, assisted by owner and veteran throttleman Randy Swears and managed by team director, Richie Powers. All print industry customers, partners and colleagues are invited to follow these "Gladiators of the Sea" on their team's journey to the World Championships tournament in Key West this autumn.
An Award-Winning Team of Championship-Level Products
The MGI Meteor Unlimited Colors Series of presses offers inline decorative metallic foiling on hundreds of plastic, paper and synthetic substrates with a rainbow color spectrum of new tints and hues available to visually energize and transform traditional CMYK applications.

ESRB Rating
Not an American user?
DescriptionThe Sims: Unleashed is the sixth expansion in the series, and adds a ton of new features.
The most notable edition to The Sims is that of pets. Your Sim family may now adopt a pet from the local pet adoption center. You can adopt a cat, a dog, a lizard, a turtle, birds, parrots or fish. Dogs and cats are the most unique, as they count as a member of your family, needing certain stats to be happy, such as energy and bladder. You must provide bedding (or they'll sleep on the floor), litter box for cats (dogs do it anywhere) and food bowls, as well as toys to keep them happy.
You can train your pet to do tricks, and in leiu of another Sim, you can use your pet to improve your social score. Cats and dogs will also chase away skunks and other unwanted critters that stumble onto your lot.
The second main edition is gardening. You can now buy seeds at a garden store, and plant (and grow) your own crops. You can then use these crops to eat or to sell.
The neighborhood has been expanded, with a total of 40 lots allowed on one neighborhood. The original lot is there, plus thirty all new lots, which can be zoned either "commercial" or "residential".
The phone book has been expanded, so if you ever encountered the problem where you had so many friends some of them disappeared off the list, this solves it. You now have the option "Call Neighbor..." and when it pops up, you choose the last name of the family, then the person you'd like to call.
As in all expansions, there is 125+ new objects, new clothes and skins, and new wallpaper/floor tile combinations. There are also some new NPC characters, such as Animal Control and the Pet Trainer.

This past weekend, I reserved an afternoon for much-needed "girlfriend" time. As soon as I knew I had a commitment-free day, I mentioned it to my friend and she quickly said she was in for kayaking.
I loaded the kayaks around lunchtime, picked her up and a short while later, we were launching the kayaks into a nearby lake. We paddled and talked nonstop, catching up on everything from work and travels to people and food. I believe we could have circled the lake and still had enough to talk about—and it's a good size lake!
The two of us have been kayaking together since I started kayaking a few years ago. Our first time out on the water, we shared a double kayak. The rental employee gave us 60-second lesson (just turn your paddles in the shape of an 8) and pushed us into the water. From there, we kind of figured it out on our own. We got a little better each time we went kayaking. Since then, we've kayaked on four different lakes and a couple of rivers, and made many great memories!
A couple of memorable moments include:
- When I loaded the kayaks, but forgot the paddles at home. (How embarrassing!)
- When the water was so rough, waves were crashing OVER our kayaks, and while we paddled furiously, it felt like we weren't moving forward at all! (Mis-er-able!)
Fortunately, we still like to kayak together! Our friendship was truly the inspiration behind my decision to buy two kayaks (rather than only one) because what good would one kayak be if I couldn't bring along a friend?
The two of us became great friends while working together the past eight years. We both came to the realization on our own at different times in our life that we can't depend on our husbands to want to do or enjoy the same things we like to do. Therefore, girlfriends are key to our happiness—not a nice-to-have but a true necessity! There are just some conversations you can't have with your husband… and there are activities that we like to do and events we like to attend that our men do not. It's nice to know we always have each other for long walks and talks, kayaking adventures, midday coffee/tea runs, shopping and sipping wine.
We love our "girlfriend" time, and while kayaking worked loose the tension from our shoulders and gave us a good dose of exercise and fresh air to help us sleep through the night, our afternoon together was about much more than kayaking. It's about spending time with people we care about… venting, laughing, dreaming… building our relationship and celebrating our friendship. Kayaking is just the perfect way to do it.

During the 1910s, amateur art was inflected with aesthetic and political radicalism and yet was also deeply American; at the same time, it challenged the genteel tradition of the nineteenth century and redefined a national spirit in the arts while remaining on the cutting edge of modern philosophy and an international avant-garde.
This essay suggests that the interactions that took shape within the physical boundaries of [Stieglitz's gallery] open insights into the broader dynamics of cultural discrimination and privilege.

Hundreds of Iraqi women defy cleric to protest authorities
Issued on:
Baghdad (AFP) –
Hundreds of Iraqi women of all ages flooded central Baghdad Thursday alongside male anti-government protesters, defying an order by powerful cleric Moqtada Sadr to separate the genders in the rallies.
Some were veiled, others not, still more wrapped their faces in black-and-white checkered scarves. Most carried roses, Iraqi flags or signs defending their role in the regime change demonstrations.
They marched through a tunnel and spilled out into Tahrir Square, the epicentre of the youth-dominated movement in a country where vast regions remain socially conservative.
"We want to protect women's role in the protests as we're just like the men. There are efforts to kick us out of Tahrir but we'll only come back stronger," said Zainab Ahmad, a pharmacy student.
"Some people were inciting against us a few days ago, seeking to keep women at home or keep them quiet. But we turned out today in large numbers to prove to those people that their efforts will end in failure," she said.
Ahmad appeared to be referring to controversial cleric Moqtada Sadr, a powerful figure who first backed the rallies when they erupted in October but who has since sought to discredit them.
On Saturday, the militiaman-turned-politician had alleged drug and alcohol use among the protesters and said it was immoral for men and women to mix there.
And a few moments before Thursday's women's march began, Sadr once again took to Twitter to slam the protests as being rife with "nudity, promiscuity, drunkenness, immorality, debauchery ... and non-believers".
In a strange turn, he said Iraq must not "turn into Chicago," which he said was full of "moral looseness" including homosexuality, a claim that was immediately mocked online.
- 'Freedom, revolution, feminism' -
While the numbers in Tahrir have dwindled in recent weeks, many Iraqi youth say the past four months of rallies have helped break down widespread conservative social norms.
Men and women were seen holding hands in Tahrir and even camping out in the square together.
On Thursday, men linked arms to form a protective ring around the women as they marched for over an hour.
"Revolution is my name, male silence is the real shame!" they chanted, then adding "Freedom, revolution, feminism!"
Some of their chants were snide remarks at Sadr himself.
"Where are the millions?" some said, referring to the cleric's call for a million-strong march several weeks ago that saw much smaller numbers hit the streets.
The rallies have slammed Iraqi authorities for being corrupt, incompetent and beholden to neighbouring Iran.
"They want us to be a second Iran, but Iraqi women weren't born to let men dictate to them what to do," protester Raya Assi told AFP on Thursday.
"They have to accept us the way we are."

Military fiction writer Mack Maloney, in the course of researching his novels, discovered numerous places all over the world similar to the top secret Area 51 in Nevada. He shared what he's uncovered about UFOs, and their relationship to these secret bases. Aided in the writing of his book, Beyond Area 51, by an employee of a U.S. intelligence agency he referred to as "Spook," Maloney learned that there may be as many as two dozen bases all around the world. Historically, one of the first secret bases was in the ancient Israeli city of Meggido, where a fortress was constructed on a mountain to hide their military force, he detailed. Nowadays, secret bases are generally built underground in order to remain out of view of satellites, he noted.
There's a vast underground base in Russia in the Yamantau Mountain built in the 1990s, probably as a place where top government officials would go in the case of a nuclear event, he said. In the United States, Area 51 functions mostly as a place for the Air Force to secretly test new reconnaissance aircraft like the U2, Maloney asserted, adding that he believes Bob Lazar may have been a government disinformation agent, creating an ET story to distract or divert attention away from the real technology at the Nevada base. In another case of disinformation, he concluded that Paul Bennewitz's tale about aliens and UFOs inside an underground base in Dulce, NM had been fed to him by government agents to throw him off track, after he'd stumbled onto some of their secret experiments.
Maloney recounted some of the strange aerial sightings seen in Colorado's San Luis Valley, as well as the alleged 1974 incident in which President Nixon took Jackie Gleason to view the remains of an alien crew and flying saucer under military guard at a hangar in the Homestead AFB in Florida. He also reviewed WWII era UFO sightings like the foo fighters, and the 'Battle of Los Angeles.' One of the intriguing things that Maloney's friend "Spook" told him was that for really secret technology like a recovered UFO, it would probably be "hidden in plain sight" rather than placed in an underground base. For more, check out this short video clip in which Maloney talks about his series of novels in which 'Mad Max' meets WWIII.
Health & Diet Update
First hour guest, nutrition consultant Shelley Redford Young talked about how the science of food meets the taste of health. High sugars and sensationalistic flavors can taint our taste buds to look for very extreme flavors, but we can retrain them to appreciate the subtle sweetness of garden green vegetables, she remarked. Young also advocated maintaining an alkaline pH balance in the body, and various supplements like chlorophyll, alkaline water, and green juices that can reduce acidity.

When QGIS starts, you are presented with the GUI as shown below (the numbers 1 through 5 in yellow circles refer to the five major areas of the interface as discussed below):
Figure QGIS GUI 1:
Your window decorations (title bar, etc.) may appear different depending on your operating system and window manager.
The QGIS GUI is divided into five areas:
These five components of the QGIS interface are described in more detail in the following sections. Two more sections present keyboard shortcuts and context help.
The toolbar provides access to most of the same functions as the menus, plus additional tools for interacting with the map. Each toolbar item has popup help available. Hold your mouse over the item and a short description of the tool's purpose will be displayed.
Every menubar can be moved around according to your needs. Additionally every menubar can be switched off using your right mouse button context menu holding the mouse over the toolbars (read also Panels and Toolbars).
Restoring toolbars
If you have accidentally hidden all your toolbars, you can get them back by choosing menu option Settings ‣ Toolbars ‣. If a toolbar disappears under Windows, which seems to be a problem in QGIS from time to time, you have to remove \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\QGIS\qgis\UI\state in the registry. When you restart QGIS, the key is written again with the default state, and all toolbars are visible again.
The map legend area lists all the layers in the project. The checkbox in each legend entry can be used to show or hide the layer.
A layer can be selected and dragged up or down in the legend to change the z-ordering. Z-ordering means that layers listed nearer the top of the legend are drawn over layers listed lower down in the legend.
This behaviours can be overridden by 'Layer order' panel.
Layers in the legend window can be organised into groups. There are two ways to do so:
To bring a layer out of a group you can drag it out, or right click on it and choose Make to toplevel item. Groups can be nested inside other groups.
The checkbox for a group will show or hide all the layers in the group with one click.
The content of the right mouse button context menu depends on whether the selected legend item is a raster or a vector layer. For GRASS vector layers Toggle editing is not available. See section Digitizing and editing a GRASS vector layer for information on editing GRASS vector layers.
Right mouse button menu for raster layers
Additionally, according to layer position and selection
Right mouse button menu for vector layers
Additionally, according to layer position and selection
Right mouse button menu for layer groups
It is possible to select more than one layer or group at the same time by holding down the Ctrl key while selecting the layers with the left mouse button. You can then move all selected layers to a new group at the same time.
You are also able to delete more than one Layer or Group at once by selecting several Layers with the Ctrl key and pressing Ctrl+D afterwards. This way all selected Layers or groups will be removed from the layer's list.
There is a widget that allows to define a legend independent drawing order. You can activate it in the menu Settings ‣ Panels ‣ Layer order. Determine the drawing order of the layers in the map view here. Doing so makes it possible to order your layers in order of importance, for example, but to still display them in the correct order (see figure_layer_order). Checking the Control rendering order box underneath the list of layers will cause a revert to default behavior.
Figure Layer Order:
This is the "business end" of QGIS - maps are displayed in this area! The map displayed in this window will depend on the vector and raster layers you have chosen to load (see sections that follow for more information on how to load layers). The map view can be panned (shifting the focus of the map display to another region) and zoomed in and out. Various other operations can be performed on the map as described in the toolbar description above. The map view and the legend are tightly bound to each other - the maps in view reflect changes you make in the legend area.
Zooming the Map with the Mouse Wheel
You can use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out on the map. Place the mouse cursor inside the map area and roll the wheel forward (away from you) to zoom in and backwards (towards you) to zoom out. The mouse cursor position is the center where the zoom occurs. You can customize the behavior of the mouse wheel zoom using the Map tools menu under the Settings ‣ Options menu.
Panning the Map with the Arrow Keys and Space Bar
You can use the arrow keys to pan in the map. Place the mouse cursor inside the map area and click on the right arrow key to pan East, left arrow key to pan West, up arrow key to pan North and down arrow key to pan South. You can also pan the map using the space bar or the click on mouse wheel: just move the mouse while holding down space bar or click on mouse wheel.
The status bar shows you your current position in map coordinates (e.g. meters or decimal degrees) as the mouse pointer is moved across the map view. To the left of the coordinate display in the status bar is a small button that will toggle between showing coordinate position or the view extents of the map view as you pan and zoom in and out.
Next to the coordinate display you find the scale display. It shows the scale of the map view. If you zoom in or out QGIS shows you the current scale. There is a scale selector which allows you to choose between predefined scales from 1:500 until 1:1000000.
A progress bar in the status bar shows progress of rendering as each layer is drawn to the map view. In some cases, such as the gathering of statistics in raster layers, the progress bar will be used to show the status of lengthy operations.
If a new plugin or a plugin update is available, you will see a message at the far left of the status bar. On the right side of the status bar is a small checkbox which can be used to temporarily prevent layers being rendered to the map view (see Section Rendering below). The icon immediately stops the current map rendering process.
To the right of the render functions you find the EPSG code of the current project CRS and a projector icon. Clicking on this opens the projection properties for the current project.
Calculating the correct Scale of your Map Canvas
When you start QGIS, degrees is the default unit, and it tells QGIS that any coordinate in your layer is in degrees. To get correct scale values, you can either change this to meter manually in the General tab under Settings ‣ Project Properties or you can select a project Coordinate Reference System (CRS) clicking on the CRS status icon in the lower right-hand corner of the statusbar. In the last case, the units are set to what the project projection specifies, e.g. '+units=m'.

Completion of Smithtown's "Fundred" dollar bill program
Pictured above are leaders from the Media Art Honor Society serving as guards along with Mr. Needles and driver Tory Tepp as we deliver the money in front of Smithtown East.
After years of creating and collecting student produced "Fundred" dollars bills to raise money and awareness for the Katrina relief in Louisiana Tory Tepp stopped by the school today to collect the bills in Mel Chin's Bio-fuel driven Armored Car. If all goes to plan we should end up having raised over $360,000 thanks to the all Suffolk County students and teachers who participated.

Venezuelan Spicy Chicken Empanadas are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and a finger licking spicy chicken filling that's sure to call for more than just one empanada!! And 100% gluten free too!!
This classic Venezuelan street food is great as a lunch snack and if made smaller perfect as canapes for any party. Plus they can be made one day in advance if you follow just a few simple steps I jot down below.
Vegetarian, vegan or meatarean? Not a problem! These can be made with any filling you like, they are super versatile!! For this recipe though I chose to make them with this yummy spicy chicken filling super easy to make.
These empanadas are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and a finger licking spicy chicken filling. This classic Venezuelan street food is great as a lunch snack and if made smaller perfect as canapes for any party. Plus they can be made one day in advance if you follow just a few simple steps I jot down below. They can also be made with vegetarian and vegan fillings they are super versatile!!
- 250 gr Minced Chicken Pork or Beef are also good
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Worcester sauce
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- 3 tbsp Vegetable oil Plus more for frying
- 1 small White onion
- 1/2 Green sweet pepper
- 1/2 Red sweet pepper
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp Tomato pure
- 1 large tbsp Sirracha sauce Add more for a spicer chicken mix
- 1/2 glass of water or stock (any type will do)
So the first thing is to prepare the spicy chicken filling. In a bowl place the meat and add the spices and mix
To a hot skillet add vegetable oil add chopped onions, peppers and chopped garlic and leave to cook until they start to soften.
Once the veggies have started to soften add the mince chicken and cook stirring occasionally.
TIP: Once the chicken is half way cooked I like to break up the meat pieces with the spoon so the fillings ends up with nice small pieces.
Then add the tomato pure, Sirracha sauce and half a glass of water or stock (any type will do) and leave to cook for approx. 20 minutes.
Once cooked add the meat to a bowl and leave to cool
Then using some kitchen paper I like to clean the skillet to then use it for frying the empanadas. If I can avoid doing more washing up all the better!!
While the chicken is cooling down lets prepare the dough using the classic white corn Harina Pan following the package Instructions.
In the blog post of this recipe you'll find details on where to buy this flour in the UK, Europe and USA.
Once the dough is done we start to make the empanadas and this might look fitly but really is very easy!
Place some cling film on a flat surface and spread over some vegetable oil, do the same to a plate. This will make it easier to lift the empanadas without sticking.
Then take a ball of dough, place it over the cling film and flatten it out until is 1/2cm thick. It helps to have a container with water to wet your fingers so the dough doesn't stick.
Add 1.5 tbp of the chicken filling and fold using the cling film to help you.
Using a soup bowl cut the edges of the empanada so it's sealed completely and leaves a nice border.
TIP: You can also make them canape size by using a drinking glass instead of a soup ball.
Remove the remaining of the dough and repeat the same process until you've used all of the dough. From this amount of dough you'll get 9 large empanadas.
Then fry them on each side in a skillet with abundant hot vegetable oil they are until golden brown on each side.
TIP: Carefully grab each empanada so it doesn't break. Ideally you want the dough to be slightly hard so it holds better the filling and handling.
Once cooked place them over some kitchen paper to absorb the extra oil and serve immediately!!

- Once the chicken is half way cooked I like to break up the meat pieces with the spoon so the fillings ends up with nice small pieces.
- You can also make them canape size by using a drinking glass instead of a soup ball.
- Carefully grab each empanada so it doesn't break. Ideally you want the dough to be slightly hard so it holds better the filling and handling.
These empanadas can be made with any filling you like, apart from potatoes or rice. The dough really works with any flavour whether strong or mild making them perfect as snacks, canapes or like me as a light lunch or diner.
In Venezuela we have several traditional fillings that range from meat to vegetarian options, some of these fillings I have already posted in this blog but I'll break them out into vegetarian, vegan and meat fillings.
Meat Fillings
The most traditional meat fillings are Venezuelan Pulled Beef, Pulled Chicken cooked in a simple tomato sauce similar to the one I made in my Puff Pastry Chicken Pie recipe and Tuna.
The tuna filling is very to make just finely chop a small onion, 1/2 a red pepper and 1/2 a green pepper mix well with one or 2 cans of well drained tuna, season with salt and black pepper to taste and voila! The onion and peppers will cook when the empanadas are fried.
Vegetarian Fillings
The most traditional vegetarian fillings are:
- Black beans, white cheese and sweet fried plantains. The beans are really the left over of our traditional Venezuelan Black Bean Soup slightly drained so they are not saucy. And if you've never made Sweet Fried Plantain check out my tutorial on how to make them omitting the coriander and cheese.
- White cheese – Choose a strong flavour white cheese something like Feta or Halloumi.
- Roasted vegetables also work well
- Giving them an Italian twist and one of husband's favourite filling tomato and Mozzarella. One thing to bear in mind with this filling is that they have to very well closed otherwise you'll have Mozzarella pouring out whilst frying.
Vegan Fillings
Again using black beans without the cheese is also a traditional filling, some people also like to fill them with only sweet fried plantain including me!
Grilled pepper and grilled onions are quite a flavoursome mix that work very well with the dough, sometime I add vegan cheese to have that gooey cheesy effect.
Mushroom trifolati are also good. Just cook some chopped mushrooms with onions, a pinch of chilli flakes, red wine, salt, black pepper and a pinch of chopped fresh rosemary, an Italian vibe but equally delicious.
These Venezuelan Spicy Chicken Empanadas can be made in advance if you're cooking for a party just follow these simple steps:
- Once made but still raw place them on a flat baking sheet or tray that has been covered with cling film and a bit of oil, similar to the cling film job we did to make them.
- Once all the empanadas are on the tray cover them with another pieces of cling film so they are well wrapped.
- Cover the tray with a damp tea towel, not wet, but slightly damp and keep them in the fridge until you're ready to fry them.
When I have to make them in advance I try to use dry fillings, ie. fillings with little or no sauce this is to avoid sauces licking into the dough and coming out.
A good tip to remember is to scoop out as much sauce as you can from the filling or use dry fillings ie. with little sauce. If you have some sauce licking out is not the end of the world, the problem is when you have a lot of sauce as this will dissolve the dough and make it impossible to handle.
In the UK Tesco has started to stock HARINA P.AN. which is a big big plus because it was very difficult to get hold of it before. They call it Pan Pre-Cooked White Maize Meal 1Kg and sell it for £1.99, cheaper than anywhere else!!
Also if you're in London there are several Latin American shops around Elephant & Castle that not only sells Harina Pan, but also more Latin American goodies.
In Italy you can also get it quite easily. Supermarket Carrefour stocks it in its shops, but mainly in the North of Italy.
There is also a company Called Le Farine Magiche that buys the product itself from Empresas Polar and packages in their own bags, they call it Farina per pane Arepas e Polenta and they sell it for €3.76.
Made these Venezuelan Spicy Chicken Empanadas? Rate it and leave your comment! I really like to know what you guys think of the recipes and I can only do that if you leave your reviews and comments.
See you next time with another delicious recipe

Hi i'm new to this board thank you for letting me join having bought a goldflash 1959 i soon found out that all that glitters is not necessarily gold,so i am in the process of removing 9 peoples worth of hobby time from the engine etc,my question is has any one thought about shimming the outer race on driveside roller bearing this would eliminate the need to fit those flimsey shims that i hear alot of horror storys about,the outer race would only stand proud an extra .05mm i would remove .05mm from the outer race protruding side to keep a good gap from crankshaft to allow oil flow ,the inner roller has a lot of clearence to the outer edge so dont see any problems .has this been done before ? your thoughts advice would be appreciatedregards martin
.... I've no experience of the plunger set up, and if that also bolts up tight, or relies on the pressure from the cush drive spring, others can chime in on that.....
My first thought when I saw the first post was: How often do the standard shims cause a problem?

[The radio adaptation of The Lord of the Rings was discussed on the BBC programme 'The Critics'; and on 16 November, W. H. Auden gave a radio talk about the book in which he said: 'If someone dislikes it, I shall never trust their literary judgement about anything again.' Meanwhile Edwin Muir, reviewing The Return of the King in the Observer on 27 November, wrote: 'All the characters are boys masquerading as adult heroes .... and will never come to puberty. .... Hardly one of them knows anything about women.']
I agreed with the 'critics' view of the radio adaptation; but I was annoyed that after confessing that none of them had read the book they should turn their attention to it and me — including surmises on my religion. I also thought Auden rather bad – he cannot at any rate read verse, having a poor rhythmical sense; and deplored his making the book 'a test of literary taste'. You cannot do that with any work – and if you could you only infuriate. I was fully prepared for Roben Robinson's rejoinder 'fair-ground barker'. But I suppose all this is good for sales. My correspondence is now increased by letters of fury against the critics and the broadcast. One elderly lady – in part the model for 'Lobelia' indeed, though she does not suspect it – would I think certainly have set about Auden (and others) had they been in range of her umbrella. ....
I hope in this vacation to begin surveying the Silmarillion; though evil fate has plumped a doctorate thesis on me...
Blast Edwin Muir and his delayed adolescence. He is old enough to know better. It might do him good to hear what women think of his 'knowing about women', especially as a test of being mentally adult. If he had an M.A. I should nominate him for the professorship of poetry – a sweet revenge.

Diseases & Conditions
Trigger Finger
Trigger finger is a condition that causes pain, stiffness, and a sensation of locking or catching when you bend and straighten your finger. The condition is also known as "stenosing tenosynovitis." The ring finger and thumb are most often affected by trigger finger, but it can occur in the other fingers, as well. When the thumb is involved, the condition is called "trigger thumb."
The flexor tendons are long cord-like structures that attach the muscles of the forearm to the bones of the fingers. When the muscles contract, the flexor tendons allow the fingers to bend.
Each of the flexor tendons passes through a tunnel in the palm and fingers that allows it to glide smoothly as the finger bends and straightens. This tunnel is called the "tendon sheath."
Along the tendon sheath, bands of tissue called "pulleys" hold the flexor tendons closely to the finger bones. The tendons pass through the pulleys as the finger moves. The pulley at the base of the finger is called the "A1 pulley." This is the pulley that is most often involved in trigger finger.
In a patient with trigger finger, the A1 pulley becomes inflamed or thickened, making it harder for the flexor tendon to glide through it as the finger bends. Over time, the flexor tendon may also become inflamed and develop a small nodule on its surface. When the finger flexes and the nodule passes through the pulley, there is a sensation of catching or popping. This is often painful.
In a severe case of trigger finger, the finger locks and becomes stuck in a bent position. Sometimes the patient must use his or her other hand to straighten the finger.
While the causes of trigger finger are not well known, several factors may increase your risk for developing the condition. These include:
- Medical conditions. Trigger finger is more common in people with certain medical conditions, such as diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Forceful hand activities. The condition is known to occur after forceful use of the fingers and thumb.
Symptoms of trigger finger often start without a single injury. They may follow a period of heavy or extensive hand use, particularly pinching and grasping activities.
Symptoms may include:
- A tender lump at the base of the finger on the palm side of the hand
- A catching, popping, or locking sensation with finger movement
- Pain when you bend or straighten the finger
Stiffness and locking tend to be worse after periods of inactivity, such as when you wake up in the morning.
In a severe case, the involved finger may become locked in a bent position.
Doctor Examination
Your doctor will be able to diagnose a trigger finger by talking with you about your symptoms and examining your hand. Typically, x-rays or other tests are not needed.
During the exam, your doctor will look for:
- Tenderness over the flexor tendon sheath in the palm of your hand
- Thickening or swelling of the tendon sheath
- Triggering when you bend and straighten your finger
Nonsurgical Treatment
Initial treatment for a trigger finger is usually nonsurgical.
Rest. Resting your hand and avoiding activities that make it worse may be enough to resolve the problem.
Splinting. Wearing a splint at night to keep the affected finger or thumb in a straight position while you sleep may be helpful.
Exercises. Gentle stretching exercises can help decrease stiffness and improve range of motion in the involved digit.
Medications. Over-the-counter medications, such as acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can help relieve pain and inflammation.
Steroid injections. Corticosteroid, or cortisone, is an anti-inflammatory agent that can be injected into the tendon sheath at the base of the trigger finger. A steroid injection may resolve the triggering over a period of one day to several weeks. If symptoms do not improve with time, a second injection may be given. If two injections do not help the problem, surgery may be considered.
Steroid injections are less likely to be effective in patients with diabetes, but may still help avoid surgery. They can cause a short-term rise in blood sugar, so glucose levels in diabetic patients should be monitored after injection.
Surgical Treatment
If your finger does not get better with nonsurgical treatment, you may wish to consider surgery. Surgery is elective. The decision for surgery is based on how much pain or loss of function you have in your finger. If, however, your finger or thumb is stuck in a flexed or bent position, your doctor may recommend surgery to prevent permanent stiffness.
Surgical procedure. The surgical procedure for trigger finger is called "tenolysis" or "trigger finger release."
The goal of the procedure is to release the A1 pulley that is blocking tendon movement so the flexor tendon can glide more easily through the tendon sheath. Typically, the procedure is done in an outpatient setting with an injection of local anesthesia to numb the area for surgery.
Surgery is performed through either a small open incision in the palm or with the tip of a needle. The A1 pulley is divided (released) so that the flexor tendon can glide freely. Although pulleys have an important function in the hand, releasing the A1 pulley should not cause problems in the future.
Complications. Complications can occur with any type of surgery. Your doctor will discuss the risks with you before surgery and will take specific measures to help prevent complications.
The most common complications following surgery for trigger finger or trigger thumb include:
- Stiffness in the involved finger.
- Inability to straighten the involved finger. If you were not able to straighten your finger completely before surgery, you might not be able to do so afterward.
- Temporary soreness or swelling at the site of surgery
Less common complications include:
- Persistent locking or clicking. This may indicate that more of the pulley needs to be released or may be caused by another problem in your finger.
- "Bowstringing." In a small number of cases, the tendon may "bow" away from the bone, resulting in reduced range of motion. Bowstringing occurs when one of the more important pulleys is released.
- Infection (rare)
- Digital nerve injury. This may cause numbness or tingling along part of the finger.
Recovery. Most patients are encouraged to move their finger immediately after surgery.
It is common to have some soreness in your palm. Elevating your hand above your heart can help reduce pain and swelling.
Although your incision will heal within a few weeks, it may take from 4 to 6 months for swelling and stiffness in your hand and fingers or thumb to go away completely.
If stiffness, swelling, or pain persist after surgery, your doctor may recommend seeing a hand therapist.
Outcome. Patients who have surgery experience significant improvement in function as well as relief from the pain of a trigger finger. Still, if a contracture or loss of motion was present before surgery, complete range of motion may not be restored.

'Chicago Med' Season 2 Spoilers: 4 Things We Learned From Episode 9 Promo [VIDEO]
NBC series "Chicago Med" aired the Season 2 mid-season finale last week in which Dr. Natalie Manning and Dr. Will Halstead had to make a difficult decision: Let a kidney failure patient die or give him his brother's kidney and infect him with HIV. The hour also saw Nurse April being treated for tuberculosis. Unfortunately, the medication will harm her unborn child.
NBC released the promo of the upcoming "Chicago Med" episode in Season 2. Here are four things we learned from watching the video:
1. "Chicago Med" Season 2 Returns On Thursday, Jan. 5, 2017
Save the date, "Chicago Med" will be back in January with more dramatic cases that will test our favorite doctors.
2. Sharon Goodwin Asks The Doctors To Reevaluate A Potential Organ Recipient
The main case in Season 2, episode 9 involves a patient in dire need of an organ transplant. Unfortunately, certain complications arise that prompts Gaffney Chicago Medical Center's Chief of Services, Sharon Goodwin (S. Epatha Merkerson), to ask the doctors to reevaluate the patient.
3. It's Up To Dr. Daniel Charles To Decide If She Gets A Transplant
In the end, the decision to save her life lands solely in Dr. Charles' (Oliver Platt) hands. He will have to decide whether or not she qualifies for a heart transplant.
4. Dr. Connor Rhodes Clashes With Dr. Charles
Cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Rhodes (Colin Donnell) pressurizes Charles to qualify her for a heart transplant. If she doesn't get a heart now, she dies.
Charles and Rhodes are already at odds because he likes his daughter Robyn (Mekia Cox). Things are certainly going to get worse between the two doctors.
"Chicago Med" Season 2 returns on Thursday, Jan. 5, 2017 at 9 p.m. EST on NBC.

Living By the Spirit
It's absolute necessityGod is first; God comes before everything else that is! Everything that is, the entire cosmos and all of its material elements and living creatures, were brought into existence by God through the voice of his Spirit (Genesis 1:1-2, 3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 20, 24, and 26). So everything that is exists within God and its source is his Spirit. The essence of everything is spiritual, not physical.
And when God "saw everything that he had made", he recognized that "it was very good" (Genesis 1:31). Everything was working as God had designed it to work. All the non-human creatures were alive and reproducing as God had intended them to do, and the provisions for their needs as well as those for God's human creatures were all in place. Everything had a spiritual order to it that was in accord with God's "good" will and design and love.
And when God made "man" (Genesis 1:26), that is "male and female" (1:27) he gave them "dominion" (1:26) over its creatures and provisions (See Genesis 1:26, 28-30). In the midst of all of God's created "good" spiritual order and provisions, God gave "the man" one commandment: "You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat" (Genesis 2:17). In order to live in a harmonious relationship with God in his creation, these human beings would have to trust God through his Spirit to always provide them with "the knowledge of good and evil" rather than depending upon the wisdom of their own spirits to provide them with this basic spiritual blessing. And the penalty for disobeying this commandment was very severe; "in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die" (2:17). This means that the only way to live in this world in a peaceful and comfortable relationship with God is to trust him by faith through his Spirit to provide you with all that is "good" for your daily needs and to protect you from all that is "evil"! Human history through all of the eras of time has demonstrated within faithful individuals and generations the blessings of human beings who are living in accord with the goodness of God's Spirit and the deadly sufferings of those who are attempting to live in rebellious refusal to trust his Spirit.
It is to be done in JesusDuring the brief time between Jesus' last supper with his disciples and his arrest and crucifixion, Jesus shared some very important words of instruction with them (See John 14:1:1-16:33). He told them "'I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me'" (John 14:6). And he indicated that although he was going to be leaving them that God, "the Father" would give them "another Helper" "the Spirit of truth" who would be with them "forever" and who would "be in" them (14:16-17). And Jesus described his new relationship with his disciples and all who would seek to follow him as that of a "vine" and a "branch" (15:1-2). And he instructed them to "Abide in me, and I in you", because "the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me" (15:4). And he clarified the point of his instruction with these words: "I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing" (15:5). And he gave them and others who would also become his disciples this great promise: "If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples" (15:7-8). It is clear from these words of instruction from Jesus to his disciples that they could continue to "Abide in" his "love" (15:9) if they would keep his "commandments" (15:10). In his very personal prayer to the "Father" (John 17:1-26), Jesus prayed for these disciples and all who would join them in personal living relationships with Jesus and God the Father "that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me" (17:21). This indwelling intimate personal union between Jesus and his disciples and God, the Father, through the Spirit was and is absolutely essential to the transforming and glory of the work that God was and is doing to redeem his corrupted creation back to himself.
Practical steps for enabling the Spirit to do his work in youThe source of your moral righteous strength in your life is the power of the Spirit in your "inner being" (Ephesians 3:16). It is this power that enables you to "be filled with all the fullness of God" (Eph. 3:19 & 20) so that you can overcome the temptations of Satan and the seductive appeals of your fleshly self. In order to engage this power you should take these steps:
- seek to live every moment of every day immersed in the presence of God with the desires and emotions of your heart focused on him and his glory
- meditate daily in prayer upon selected passages of God's word for his personal messages of love and guidance for you
- "walk in a humble expression of service that is worthy of the calling to which you have been called" (Eph. 4:1).
- obey God's personal commands to you and "put off your old self…to be renewed in the spirit" of your mind and "put on the new self" (4:22-24) in which you can set your mind "on the things of the Spirit" (Romans 8:5) that are real personal experiences to which the Spirit has guided you in your daily personal choices that are "true", "honorable", "just", "pure", "lovely", and "commendable" (Philippians 4:8).
- "give no opportunity to the devil" (Eph. 4:27) and "make no provision for the flesh to gratify its desires" (Romans 13:14).
- "walk in love" as "children of light" and "take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness" (Eph. 5:2, 7, 11).
- "be filled with the Spirit…giving thanks always for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ" (5:18 & 20).
- "take up the whole armor of God…to stand firm", "take up the shield of faith", and "take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" (Eph. 6:13, 16, & 17) when you are under attack, and then to "press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:14).
- and pray "at all times in the Spirit" (Eph. 6:18).
Concluding summaryIn order to live by the Spirit in Jesus you must seek to live every moment of every day immersed in the presence of God with the desires and emotions of your heart focused on God and your mind set in prayer "on the things of the Spirit" (Romans 8:5 as cited above). Paul makes the necessity of this very clear in a subsequent statement when he explains: "For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot" (Rom. 8:6-7). And he further clarifies this basic principle for living by the Spirit in this statement: "You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him" (Rom. 8:9). And we can be assured of this because, as Paul indicates: "The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him" (Rom. 8:16-17). And Paul even indicates that "the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but The Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words." (Rom. 8:26) No one can consistently do each of these spiritual disciplines to be a perfectly "righteous" servant of God, but the apostle John indicates that "God is light," and "if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:5 and 9)
And the blessings of living by the Spirit in Jesus are also very specific and practical. Paul indicates that "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law" (Galatians 5:22). And they each are eternally good.
This fruit of the Spirit is received by acts of trusting choices that the person makes in his or her new heart and renewed mind in the moment by moment experiences of living each day. Faith is not so much an act of mental belief in a set of spiritual doctrines in a person's mind as it is a spiritual exercise of a person's passions and emotions in his or her new heart (see statement on "What is Christian Faith? (Revised again)" at http://www.christianityetc.org/faith.php). These experiences have to be initially generated by God's Spirit who is working in the person's new heart, which he or she has received from being born again by the Spirit, as they are triggered by his or her passions and emotions. Then they are implemented by the person's thoughts "on the things of the Spirit" according to Paul's instructions in Romans 8:5-6 and which he cites in Philippians 4:7-8 as those "things" that are "true", "honorable", "just", "pure", "lovely", and "commendable". It is a person's thoughts with their emotional tags that actually trigger his or her choices of behavior that produce his or her daily experiences that are moment by moment labelled with evaluating emotional tags. For a complete explanation of this process see "How to feel good through meditation" at https://www.christianityetc.org/meditation.php.
In this statement I have sought to make it clear that the Christian life can only be lived in cooperative surrender to the indwelling Spirit of Jesus in the daily effort of the individual who is seeking to glorify God in his or her life and to follow and to serve Jesus in this world. The process is not theological and theoretical. It is very intimately personal and practical, and it is very basic to one's daily life.
For additional help with this subject check out my longer statement on "The Spirit". If you have any questions about this statement, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Some things in life defy comprehension, but that doesn't make them any less real. Or deadly.
When a familiar crow drops a cryptic scroll at Shawnee Daniels' feet, she's compelled to open it, even though everything in her power warns her not to. Mr. Mayhem—the most prolific serial killer the North Shore has ever known—claims her life is in danger. He "claims" he wants to help her, but just last year he threatened to murder everyone she loves.
While Mayhem taunts her with oddly-placed feathers, like The Creator left at his crime scenes, an interstate killing spree rocks Massachusetts and New Hampshire. A madman is decapitating men and women, dumping their headless corpses on two area beaches. But what Shawnee soon uncovers shatters all she's ever known, her memories shredded, the whispers of the past in shambles on the ground.
Can she find the strength to move forward, or will the truth destroy her?
Review: Once again I found myself engrossed in the world of Shawnee Daniels and Mr Mayhem as he tries to warn her of the impending danger upon her life and the lives of those she loves. The problem is, how can she believe or trust a serial killer, especially when she believes he may be involved in a series of beheadings currently under investigation?
Sue Coletta's storytelling is nothing short of amazing as she presents us the Native American background of scalping involving European ancestry, native American prophecy, mystery, and witchcraft.
It has to be said, that Coletta's ability to draw out the reader's sympathy toward the serial killer is genius. Then there are the new villainous characters the reader yearns to learn more about. However, for me, Poe, Mayhem's loyal crow companion remains the steadfast favourite of all the characters.

The internet marketing that promotes the website visits by increasing its appearance in the search engine results is termed as Search Engine Marketing. This term was given by Danny Sullivan in 2001 to include all the activities involving Search engine optimization.
Search Engine Marketing involves the expansion of online marketing policies for organizations as well as individuals. It submits the website to the directories and also manages the paid listings at the search engines. There are many search engine marketing companies with skillful experienced professionals to provide the best results.
But before choosing the internet marketing solution for your website, you must be aware of both White Hat and Black Hat techniques used in Search engine optimization. White Hat optimizers use the verified techniques that avoid penalties whereas Black Hat optimizers use any technique without taking into account the proper guidelines. So while selecting a company you must be sure of the techniques they will be using to avoid any adverse results.

Six Cities of Refuge
1 Then the Lord spoke to Joshua, saying, 2 "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, '(a)Designate (A)the cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you (b)through Moses, 3 that the manslayer who (c)kills any person unintentionally, without premeditation, may flee there, and they shall become your refuge from the avenger of blood. 4 He shall flee to one of these cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the (B)gate of the city and state his case in the hearing of the elders of that city; and they shall (d)take him into the city to them and give him a place, so that he may dwell among them. 5 Now (C)if the avenger of blood pursues him, then they shall not deliver the manslayer into his hand, because he struck his neighbor without premeditation and did not hate him beforehand. 6 He shall dwell in that city (D)until he stands before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the one who is high priest in those days. Then the manslayer shall (e)return to his own city and to his own house, to the city from which he fled.'"
7 So they (f)set apart (E)Kedesh in (g)Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali and Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in (F)the hill country of Judah. 8 Beyond the Jordan east of Jericho, they (h)designated Bezer in the wilderness on the plain from the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan from the tribe of Manasseh. 9 (G)These were the appointed cities for all the sons of Israel and for the stranger who sojourns among them, that whoever (i)kills any person unintentionally may flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood until he stands before the congregation.

Retail Grocery Store Marketing Strategies and Obesity
This literature review points to in-store strategies to promote the purchase of healthful foods and discourage the purchase of unhealthful foods. The review also suggests public health researchers can leverage methods used by the grocery industry to assess consumer behavior.
Americans buy most of their food at grocery stores. In-store marketing potentially offers the opportunity to influence what consumers put in their carts to take home and eat. Most of the research on how to influence consumer food store purchases has been conducted by marketing, consumer behavior and industry researchers, not by public health researchers. This review of 125 peer-reviewed articles, looks at industry and academic literature from 1995–2010 on methods to influence consumer food purchases in physical grocery stores.
Key Findings:
- The review identified nine findings distributed among the four "marketing mix" components (product, price, place, and promotion), as well as "promising strategies" and "research needs" that align with each finding.
- Although the evidence is limited, it does suggest healthy purchases can be increased by "increasing availability, affordability, prominence, and promotion" of healthy foods, as well as by "de-marketing" unhealthy foods.
- The article highlights research related to specific in-store marketing techniques, including that point-of-purchase promotion of healthy foods has not been proven effective. However, presenting consumers with fewer options in a product category, and placing healthier foods near their less-healthy counterparts, seem to drive consumers toward healthful options.
The authors note the need to build an evidence base on how to influence consumers to buy healthier foods. Observing that data related to supermarket sales, inventory, and shopper loyalty programs could be valuable sources of insight. The authors call for public health researchers, grocery retailers, and marketing designers to work together to design "health-promoting marketing strategies."

It's a hoax!
Right now the world's top politicians have gathered in Paris to discuss the climate on planet Earth. People ask me: What do you think about the situation as an astrologer? My answer is that I don't think anything about the climate as an astrologer -
but as a private person, I think that the last fool hasn't been born yet.
They say that the temperature is increasing on planet Earth, and they say that man is to blame for it. They say that the production of CO2 causes the climate to change. They say that the climate is the hottest ever since man started to measure and log the temperature on planet Earth, i.e. since the 1830's. They also say that the climate changes will cause havoc in the shape of flooding, starvation and more refugees coming to our part of the world.
But according to ice core drillings from Greenland the climate on the Northern hemisphere has been 2-3 degrees (Celsius) hotter than today several times in history - without causing the end of the world (see the below illustration). Please notice that here we are talking about a much larger time perspective than since the 1830's. And notice that these climate changes were not caused by an increase of CO2 in the atmosphere. Actually there is no mechamism between the level of CO2 in the atmosphere and the increase of temperature on planet Earth at all - it's a theory and a postulate, and it has never been supported scientifically.
When the climate changes on planet Earth two other explanations exist, even though they are ignored and suppressed:
- Our solar system moves through the universe with a high speed. Sometimes it is in an area with a lot of dust, which causes the climate on planet Earth to cool down. At other times the solar system is in an area with less dust, which causes the climate on planet Earth to become more hot.
- The activity in the Sun varies; sometimes the Sun burns a lot of energy thereby causing the climate on planet Earth to become more hot, at other times the energy level in the Sun is low, thereby causing the climate on planet Earth to become more cold.
The idea that man can change the climate on planet Earth to change is a religious faith, which unfortunately has attracted many followers - and nobody seems to question it. I don't understand why, but one of my friends have come up with the following explanation:
- Because we have invented modern technology like the computer and the smart phone, we tend to believe that we can control nature. But the future will show that it is just another case of hybris and nemesis - like when a flee believes it can control the dog.
- Politicians hate to feel powerless - it's their job to give an impression that they are in control, that something can be done to change status quo.
- Science has been corrupted by politics and money. If you don't join the hysterical climate fools, you don't have a career in science. In most of the science conducted in this area the conclusion is given in advance.
- For mysterious reasons some people have a need to feel guilty about being human beings - just like the flagellants in medieval times. The flagellants believed that by lashing themselves they could stop the Black Death from spreading.
- Most people are followers. Science has shown that if 5% of a population has a strong religious faith, they are capable of controlling the majority.
I am not worried about the climate, and any money invested in so-called climate technology are wasted. The money should instead be spent on feeding the starving, healing the sick, housing the homeless and teaching the illiterate. Apart from that I recommend my clients to enjoy life.
