…one of the best things about summer.
Although, making sun tea is now apparently discouraged. Since the water temperature never reaches boiling, it won't kill any bacteria on the tea bags or in the water. Instead, the warm water could actually help bacteria to flourish. Okay, I'll grant you that, but personally, I am not willing to give up my sun tea habit. I grew up on sun tea and I love it. For me, balancing the risks and rewards leaves me with: enjoy my sun tea. A big part of that is the fact that I've never personally known anyone to get sick from sun tea. So I question how serious the risk really is. Yes, in theory a jar of water in the sun is a great environment for bacteria, but a quick look around the kitchen reveals countless other great environments for bacteria. I am inclined to say if my tea was cloudy or had visible biofilm in the jar I would not drink it. Plus, I can't find anything on the internet that actually tells me what might happen if one consumed the bacteria of concern, Alcaligenes viscolactis. I found nothing when I actually searched the CDC website, either, despite finding numerous references to CDC as the source of the "don't do sun tea" guideline. So I don't personally feel that the risk outweighs the rewards. Of course, everyone has their own unique place on the risk-reward spectrum, and therefore a different conclusion.
I do take precautions: I brew my tea in small batches using glass jars that originally held juice. No plastic, no fancy doodads with nozzles or spouts, just a glass jar and a lid. The tea doesn't sit around for long since one jar makes enough for two glasses of tea, and depending on how hot the weather is that is either one evening or two. I have multiple jars so that I can rotate them every day, with one in the fridge chilling while the other is outside steeping. This allows me to wash the empty jar each evening and leave it to air dry before making another batch of tea the next day. I inspect the lids after every use and make sure they are clean.
What is it about sun tea? I'm not really sure. I don't remember noticing that sun tea really tastes different than regularly brewed tea (except for the addition of a mint sprig). I guess part of it is the tangible proof of the power of the sun. It kind of feels like a daily science experiment. Plus, it's easy, impossible to screw up, and almost free (except for the cost of the tea itself and a few cents for the water) since there's no energy cost. Personally, I feel more connected to the earth drinking sun tea compared to iced tea made in the kitchen.
As for the tea itself, I grew up on the standard of two Lipton bags with a sprig of mint, but I have done some experimentation to find my favorite iced tea. The world of tea is so big! I've tried Orange Pekoe, Darjeeling, Earl Gray, Gunpoweder Green, jasmine green, and a green tea blend. Right now my favorite is a blend: 1 bag of Orange Pekoe and 1 bag of Gunpowder Green with a sprig of mint. Surprisingly, I also enjoyed jasmine green tea so I'll do that every once in a while for variety. Of course, all of my tea is Fair Trade; I won't buy anything else. I think Fair Trade is a topic for a whole separate post, though.

Brief vacay and no internet access. Sacrilege (sometimes) and this past week, I enjoyed not being able to connect easily. It forced me to go outside and enjoy the sunshine.
Denver is always a welcoming city. I love it there and believe that it will always be my home. I had the opportunity to fly home, visit friends and collect my belongings. I wanted to display my conch shell and thankfully, I did pack it amongst the random boxes of stuff that I wanted to keep but not bring in my car. Decisions, decisions. When I began my find myself trip, I had to make decisions about what should go with me and what needed to be left behind. The conch shell was one of those things that was packed away to be rediscovered at a later date. I was thrilled when I unwrapped it yesterday.
Anyways, I had a whirlwind trip to Denver and managed to see some friends. Not enough time, though, to do everything that I had intended to do. I feel awful that I was unable to see my aunt and it was completely my fault. I ran out of time and began enjoying chimays. My day sort of got away from me. The intent was to meet her for dinner but the day went askew when my friend, Chipper, was delayed on the road. Initially, the plan was to meet up at noon for lunch and then assess how to arrange my things. Due to an accident on 1-80 he did not arrive until almost five pm. In an attempt to see people and amuse myself with stories/updates, I met my friend, Melissa, for lunch at cap grille. Lovely to see her and inspired with wine and decandent food. Plus, I knew the bartender and manager which is always a nice perk of being in the service industry. Lunch extended and before I knew it, my window to meet for dinner had closed. It just all got away from me.
And, as much as I wanted to see everyone, I couldn't make Chipper sit through a parade of important people in my life. It isn't for him. And, I knew that. Sure, I wanted to see everyone and get updated on how life was treating them, but I had to think of him, too. He offered to pick up my things and I needed to keep him somewhat happy, too. There will be other trips and of course, I will see my aunt and others for sure.
I started out sprinting with the friends and it continued until we left the city. I managed to dine at watercourse, elway's, solera and pick up a breakfast burrito at santiago's. Not to mention spend time with the goddess, sara jo, jenn, Steve, GQ and a few other friends that I had not seen in a great while. Running into Dave was a lovely surprise, too. I ran into him at a coffee shop near his house. I think it surprised both of us and then we were both regretful that it concluded so quickly. Again, I see myself enjoying wine with him in the future. He is building a wine cellar in his basement that definitely interests me. Yep, I see Denver in my future.
I need to update more but I have a lot of things to figure out this morning. Veronica is still at the shop since my mechanics suck. There is no polite way to say it. I dropped my car off ten days ago and due to lack of communication, on their part (per usual), I must find a new mechanic. I understand ordering parts and having them delivered but once they received them (yesterday), they should have begun work on my car immediately. Instead, they said, well, maybe Monday or Tuesday. WTF? Get my car fixed. I need it to function in this city. As such, I am off to pick up my rental so that I can attend to my priorities.
Enjoy today. I have friends, in town, here, so I am sure I will have more stories to blog about.....

The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians near Highland is giving UC Riverside a $1.28 million grant, partly to help fund its Gathering of the Tribes Summer Residential Program.
During the past 13 years, more than 500 Native American high school students from throughout the U.S. have sampled college life through the eight-day program, organized by UCR's Native American Student Programs.
Designed to help American Indian youths learn about college life, participants stay in campus dorms and take academic, cultural, and personal development workshops, including daily writing sessions to help them write application essays.
"The tribe is aware that the number of Native American high school graduates across the country who go on to college is relatively small, and we intend to increase that number both regionally and nationally," said San Manuel Chairwoman Lynn Valbuena.
Along with the summer residency program, the grant money will be used over the next 10 years to pay for a full-time staff member to increase student and community outreach for UCR's Native American Student Programs and to develop educational programming and help create a Native Pathway to College Program.
Funds also will help pay for $6,000 academic scholarships for Native American students in need — four per year.
"Here at UCR, we're surrounded by more than 30 different tribes in the Southern California region, and many indigenous peoples who are affiliated with tribes throughout North America," said UCR program director Joshua Gonzales. "There's so much potential to reach more American Indian students in this region — so much opportunity we look forward to developing."
Cal State San Bernardino recognized for Hispanic degrees
Cal State San Bernardino has been ranked among the top universities in the nation for awarding degrees to Hispanics and for its Hispanic enrollment, according to Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education Magazine.
The Inland university is 14th in the nation in awarding bachelor's degrees to Hispanics, 45th in awarding master's degrees to Hispanics and 21st in total enrollment of Hispanic students, according to the magazine's August/September edition.
The magazine used data compiled by the U.S. Department of Education to develop its rankings.
The Inland university was ranked third in awarding psychology degrees to Hispanics and sixth in awarding math degrees to Hispanics, according to a news release from Cal State San Bernardino.
The federal government has recognized Cal State San Bernardino as a Hispanic-Serving Institution, which is defined as a nonprofit college, university or system/district that has at least a 25 percent Hispanic full-time equivalent enrollment. There are more than 250 such institutions in the country.
"As a Hispanic-Serving Institution, our faculty, staff and administrators are dedicated to ensuring our Latino students, as well as all of our students, receive an exceptional and stimulating education that will serve them beyond graduation and well into their careers as many of them are the first in their families to attend college," Cal State San Bernardino President Tomás D. Morales said in a statement.

Two anniversaries for Crystop GmbH
35 years of Crystop – 25 years of AutoSat – Already thinking of tomorrow
The company Crystop GmbH, which made its name in the motorhome sector with its AutoSat product, was founded in 1980 under the name Crystop Display Gesellschaft für Anzeigesysteme mbH. Its stated activity at that time was to develop, manufacture and market display systems. Those display systems are today's indispensable LCDs which, at the time, were still developed and produced in Germany, or more specifically in Karlsruhe.
Crystop was, and still is, a specialist in the development of customised electronics. Crystop's many developments included image processing systems for quality control, electronic developments for automotive manufacturers and the pharmaceuticals industry, timing systems for irrigation equipment and photo studios.
The company took its first steps in the motorhome sector in the late 1980s. Electronic surveillance systems were developed and produced for a number of well-known manufacturers. Then, in May 1991, the first fully automatic satellite system was presented at the Clou Liner rally hosted by Niesmann + Bischoff in Saarbrücken, Germany. From the outset, the AutoSat name stood for reliability and ease of operation. Those first AutoSat systems are still in use today. That presentation was given on a beer table and made a great impression because fully automatic satellite receivers in motorhomes were a complete novelty at the time. In the same year, the presentation was also given at the Caravan Salon, which at the time was still held in Essen. The AutoSat was set up on a small, folding camping table at which the present-day Managing Directors Dipl.-Ing. Martin Nierlich and Ronny Sing were proudly seated.
Then, as now, Crystop placed great value on developing, designing and manufacturing "close to home", thus safeguarding valuable jobs and, at the same time, producing a constant flow of dazzling innovations. The capability to upgrade an AutoSat system from analogue to digital in an inexpensive and straightforward way is a supreme example of this.
Another milestone in the company's 35-year history was the development, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Research and Development, of a fast and inexpensive satellite broadcast system for the advanced Ka-band. This has enabled new markets to be opened up in the broadcasting and security sectors.
A customer focus and a highly praised service combined with constant innovation are the keys to the company's success.

The types of transactions that appear on your EOS account.Rohan AbrahamJun 26th 2018
There are several types of transactions that appear on an EOS account. Some of the transactions on your account appear because you initiated them (or someone with access to your keys). Other transactions appear on your account because of actions carried out by someone else, example airdrops to you or just transfers made into your account. Here are a few common transactions you are likely to see on your account.
New Account transaction
This happens when a new account is created. This action is initiated with the account keys that you hold so this is most likely created with your knowledge. Every account created on the EOS network requires some RAM to store the account name, the public and private keys along with other important information connected to the account. So it is common to have every new account transaction to be immediately accompanied by a "Buy RAM" action. If you initiated this action, you don't have anything to worry about, remember that you can never delete an account so all those tokens are locked forever, so don't go on creating too many accounts.
Buy RAM transaction
RAM is a quick read/write access to a storage device. It's required to store data on the blockchain and must be purchased. For most accounts, you see this transaction when you create a new account on the EOS blockchain. However, you can also purchase RAM by itself and there could be a lot of speculation on the RAM market within EOS. Utilizing the Bancor algorithm, the price of RAM is set by the EOSIO system and automatically adjusts up and down based on supply and demand. So the amount of EOS you get back when you sell RAM does not have to equal the amount of EOS used to purchase RAM in the first instance. A small fee is applied to each sale and purchase of RAM.
Buy RAM Bytes transaction
Similar to Buy RAM transaction above. RAM is a quick read/write access to a storage device. It's required to store data on the blockchain and must be purchased. For most accounts, you see this transaction when you create a new account on the EOS blockchain. However, you can also purchase RAM by itself and there could be a lot of speculation on the RAM market within EOS. Utilizing the Bancor algorithm, the price of RAM is set by the EOSIO system and automatically adjusts up and down based on supply and demand. So the amount of EOS you get back when you sell RAM does not have to equal the amount of EOS used to purchase RAM in the first instance. A small fee is applied to each sale and purchase of RAM.
Delegate Bandwidth transaction
When we talk about Bandwidth on EOS, there are two types: Network Bandwidth & CPU Bandwidth. Network Bandwidth is the average rate of data transfer through the EOS network. CPU bandwidth is based on how the transaction runs, if it is a complicated transaction, the more CPU bandwidth is consumed. A delegate bandwidth action can specify the amount of CPU or Network bandwidth to be allocated. The moment you delegate, the effect is immediate and it will take 3 days for you to undelegate. Please note your voting power is based on the amount of delegated CPU and Bandwidth. This action requires the use of your keys so your keys were certainly used to achieve this. The only exception is when the accounts were setup originally, all the accounts had most of its balance equally staked between CPU and bandwidth.
Undelegate Bandwidth transaction
This is the inverse action of delegate bandwidth. See more details about Network Bandwidth and CPU Bandwidth in the Delegate Bandwidth section of this post. The undelegate bandwidth transaction essentially tells the EOS network to unstake your Network and CPU bandwidth. Once this transaction is issued, it will take 3 days (3*24*3600 seconds) for this to take effect. In an ideal world, if you want to hold EOS for a long time (HODL), you should delegate bandwidth and then undelegate 3 days before you want to sell your tokens or make a transaction. This gives you time to act should you notice something odd on your account. This action requires the use of your keys so your keys were certainly used to achieve this. If you did not authorise this transaction, your tokens are in danger, you have 3 days before your tokens are transferred out. You will have to act quickly by contacting a Block Producer (like you) who will direct you to your best next action step..
Vote Producer transaction
This action essentially occurs when a vote is cast for Block Producers (BP). This transaction is applied immediately. Note, your "voting power" depends on the amount on staked tokens you have, see delegate bandwidth section for more information. It is important that you vote periodically. Once you cast a vote, there is a concept of vote decay. In a year, your vote will become half of the value of what it was when originally cast. Voting is important, Block Producers like us request and require your vote to continue what they do. You can vote for upto 30 BPs which essentially means your voting power is equally distributed among the Block Producers.
Claim Rewards transaction
This transaction is mostly seen in Block Producer accounts. Block producers claim block producer rewards periodically. This is how Block producers like us paid to run the EOS network and protect it. You should not see this transaction appear on your account unless you are a Block Producer. Please note block producers have to trigger this action manually using the keys they have assigned to their account. This transaction can appear atmost once every 24 hours.
Update Authentication transaction
An update authentication essentially means you have modified your keys. You have added a new key or updated a key. There are two main types of keys. Owner key and Active key. Owner key is the master key of an account. The active is most commonly used for everyday transactions. Ideally, you should have separate owner keys and active keys. The owner key should only be used incase your active key has been compromised to reset your account.
Transfer action
You see this action when EOS tokens are being moved on the network. This action could either mean that tokens have left your account or new tokens have arrived in your account. Incoming transfers do not require the use of your keys. Outgoing transactions mean your keys are being used. If you see this transaction, the funds have left your account and there are only limited action steps available. Every transfer action has a memo attached to it which will give you an idea of With incoming transactions, if you don't want immediate access to your tokens, we recommend running the delegate bandwidth transaction to keep your tokens locked away.
Transfer airdrop action
You see this action mostly when airdrops have arrived into your account. Airdrops can be defined as the process whereby a crypto project distributes cryptocurrency tokens to the wallets of some or all users free of charge. Airdrops are usually carried out by blockchain-based startups to bootstrap their cryptocurrency projects. You don't usually have to carry out any further steps, these airdrops just arrive in your account. In all cases, this action did not require the direct use of your Private key. It's just a free token that you can either hold or sell off at a later date.
Other transactions
There are several other transactions that occur on the EOS blockchain every hour and every second. Most of them don't appear on every account. If you do run into a transaction that falls into this category and want more explanation, please google search first and then if you still can't figure it out, join us on Telegram https://telegram.me/eosauthoritybot

|"Make sure you don't miss a spot dear. Have I told you how handsome you look in that apron?"
More Mid-20th Century
"Modern Etiquette"
By Advice Columnist, Roberta Lee
From 1952
Q. Is it proper for the bride-groom's family to send announcements of the marriage to their own friends when the bride's family is not sending any?
A. The bridegroom's family may properly notify their own friends by telephoning the society editors of the newspapers, as well as by writing personal letters to their relatives. But it would be questionable taste should they mail out engraved announcements.
Q. Is it considered good manners for a man to examine the items on his check when dining with a girl in a restaurant?
A. This is perfectly all right. But he should do so in a casual and unobtrusive manner.
Q. When calling on a friend who is ill and one is not permitted to see him, is it proper to write a short message on one's card?
A. Yes. This is a very nice thing to do.
From 1962
Q. Is it considered good manners to enter someone's home with a lighted cigarette in one's hand?
A. No.
Q. When a wedding gift is given to a bridegroom by his fellow workers in an office, should he thank them, or should his bride (who does not know them) thank them?
A. He should thank them.
Q. Will you please comment on the art of correct handshaking in general?
A. In addition to the much-frowned-upon limp, flabby handshake, try to avoid the bone-crushing type, which is painful if the other person is wearing a ring; the pump-handle technique; and the refusal-to-let-go technique, which is usually reserved for women and is supposed to indicate great ardor. A good handshake is at elbow level, and is firm but brief.
Q. Is the black-bordered type of mourning stationery still in good use?
A. This has not been in "popular" usage for many years. If, however, you still feel that you'd like to use it, your paper should be white with a narrow black border ranging from 1\4 to 1/32 of an inch in width.
Q. When attending a buffet dinner, is it permissible for a guest to revisit the serving table for a second helping?
A. This is perfectly proper and expected. The big rule to remember is never to take more than you are sure you can eat. It would be very poor manners to heap your plate with food, and then leave half of it uneaten.
From 1965
Q. Is it possible to correct someone's grammar without being impolite ?
A. No one likes to be corrected in group conversation, and efforts at improvement of grammar and diction had better be reserved for members of one's family or friends who you are SURE will consider them as favors, and not insults.
Q. Is it all right to eat bananas with the fingers when at the table?
A. No; they should be skinned on the dessert plate, then cut and eaten with the fork. —From The Madera Tribune

Acrylic and screenprint on canvas. Ron English is known as "The Godfather of Street Art". He is one of the most prolific and recognizable artists living, he is credited with graffiti's transition from a sub-cultural form of popular expression to the decorative, narrative murals seen today.
2015 , United States
Ron English has bombed the global landscape with unforgettable images, on the street, in museums, in movies, books and television. He is one of the most prolific and recognizable artists alive today. English coined the term POPaganda to describe his signature mash-up of high and low cultural touchstones, from superhero mythology to totems of art history, populated with his vast and constantly growing arsenal of original characters, including MC Supersized, the obese fast-food mascot featured in the hit movie "Supersize Me," and Abraham Obama, the fusion of America's 16th and 44th Presidents, an image widely discussed in the media as directly impacting the 2008 election. Other characters carousing through English's art, in paintings, billboards, and sculpture include three-eyed rabbits, udderly delicious cowgirls and grinning skulls, blending stunning visuals with the bitingly humorous undertones of America's Premier Pop Iconoclast.

Applying the International Medical Graduate Program Model to Alleviate the Supply Shortage of Accounting Doctoral Faculty
HassabElnaby, Hassan R.; Dobrzykowski, David D.; Tran, Oanh Thikie
Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education, v10 n2 p271-294 Apr 2012
Accounting has been faced with a severe shortage in the supply of qualified doctoral faculty. Drawing upon the international mobility of foreign scholars and the spirit of the international medical graduate program, this article suggests a model to fill the demand in accounting doctoral faculty. The underlying assumption of the suggested model is that there is enough qualified international accounting doctoral scholars who are willing to work in the United States because of natural and artificial benefits, such as the existence of national innovation, knowledge-intensive clusters system, favorable working conditions, and career and earning prospects. A 10-week International Accounting Post-Doctoral Program (IAPDP) is designed to prepare academically competent international accounting faculty to be qualified to work in the United States at AACSB International-accredited institutions. A survey was employed to examine the viability of the proposed model. Our results indicate that qualified international accounting doctoral scholars are interested in the suggested model and the nondoctoral U.S. accounting programs will represent the major job market for these IAPDP graduates. This article should be of interest to accounting educators, business schools, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International, and the American Accounting Association (AAA).

Fujitsu announced in a press release that it will unveil the latest in its PalmSecure Biometrics and Washable/Wearable RFID at the National Retail Federation's 2018 annual show in New York City next week.
During the show, which will be held at the Jacob K. Javits Conference Center, Fujitsu will showcase its F-Pro palm vein biometric sensor, which features the newest and smallest palm vein biometric available.
Also on display at the show will be the Fujitsu STYLISTIC V535 Tablet, featuring an embedded F-Pro sensor to enable effective authentication in either a mobile or fixed retail space. The tablet has an 8.3" projected capacitive touchscreen display, offers more than five hours of runtime and is resistant to water and dust.
Fujitsu will also be demonstrating the washable/wearable WT-A533L UHF RFID fashion tag, a 7mm wide, clear and ruggedized tag that can be inconspicuously placed on high-fashion items to keep track of their whereabouts and help prevent fraud. The tag can also help retailers avoid shipping errors.
The technology will also streamline the workflow of fashion rental providers, enabling them to scan fashion items in bulk and track received items as soon as they arrive, without manual sorting. The tag is even designed to withstand washing, dry cleaning and ironing.
"Fujitsu is extremely excited about the release of the V535 with integrated F-Pro," said Randy Fox, vice president of currency handling and identity product solutions for Fujitsu Frontech North America Inc. "We are currently working with strategic partners who will enable us to grow our PalmSecure suite of solutions.
"Tracking fashion garments, formalwear and accessories is critical to a successful garment rental enterprise," he continued. "Fashion garment designers and manufacturers will benefit from its small, almost imperceptible design, allowing them to provide positive identification of their high-value items while reducing incidents of loss and return fraud."

A GYPSY and Traveller site will be allowed to remain where it is despite doubts that it could get bigger.
The site, off the Bath Road near Woolhampton, has been occupied since the end of last year. The two families who live there applied for planning permission only after moving there.
Despite local opposition, the families are now allowed to remain on the site, as West Berkshire Council's planning committee voted on August 28 to grant permission.
Councillor Jack Lovell, from Woolhampton parish, told the committee: "We are strongly opposed to this application. We all understand that special rules apply for Gypsies and Travellers.
"However, that doesn't extend to flouting the law."
Cllr Lovell said people in Woolhampton were concerned more people could move onto the site and it could get much bigger, again without getting permission first.
The site currently consists of two day rooms, two mobile homes, and two touring caravans. It received 36 objections from local residents.
Cllr Graham Pask (Con, Bucklebury) said: "I understand the rights of Gypsies and Travellers to occupy land legally and legitimately, and I realise the need for a [council] to provide sites and if we don't then it causes problems such as this.
"There are many positives in terms of location, good highway access, bus route. These families have been paying council tax from the end of last year. They seem to be good neighbours and good citizens."
Several conditions were placed on the application, for example it must not get bigger. However, there were concerns those conditions would not be followed.
Cllr Ross MacKinnon (Con, Bradfield) said: "There's a strong reliance on the conditions of this application. The rules weren't good enough to be followed before; I would understand why people would have doubts that the rules won't be followed in the future."
Brian Woods, representing the application, said the two families would follow the conditions.
Six councillors voted for giving permission and three voted against.

Is It Safe To Eat Barbecue While Pregnant? Your Favorite Foods Aren't All No-Nos
Summer has the best food. The tomatoes are juicy and ripe, the corn is fresh and delectable, and you can cook outside every day if you want. You'll also probably be headed to a lot of backyard barbecues. But, is it safe to eat barbecue while pregnant?
In the south, the word barbecue means one thing: slow smoked meat products that may or may not be doused in an aromatic sauce. For the rest of us, especially where I'm from in the midwest, a barbecue — or cookout — is a backyard party full of all kinds of food, fun, and likely at least one salad that contains absolutely no fruits or vegetables, but at least three types of marshmallows and cream products. (It's a salad if I say it's a salad. Even if it has sliced Snickers bars and cream cheese.)
Not all of the food is created equal, though, and some foods are definitely safer than others. You already know that if you're pregnant, you have to skip Uncle Jim's "party punch" and it's the perfect excuse to avoid having to choke down a few crackers smeared in Aunt Barb's hatch chili and pineapple ham salad with dijon mustard. "Sorry, Aunt Barb, Junior here just can't do meat spreads." How do you know what's safe and what isn't? I researched all of the latest guidelines for you, and came up with a handy-dandy list.
Smoked & Grilled Meats
This is the trickiest of all of the items on this list. First, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines allow smoked meat during pregnancy, provided that it's heated above 160 degrees Fahrenheit (145 degrees Fahrenheit for fish). However, recent studies published in the Journal of Nutrition cautioned against eating smoked and grilled meat due to the effects of the airborne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are created in the smoking process. These PAHs are shown to contribute to lower birth weight and head circumference in newborn babies who were exposed to them prenatally. Yes, this includes bacon. I'm sorry. I feel terrible.
All Those Salads
I'm originally from the Midwest. If there's a way to add mayonnaise or sour cream to any vegetable or fruit and call it a salad, we will. Egg salad, potato salad, jello salad, macaroni salad, chicken salad — they're all delicious and they all have either mayo, cream, or both. According to the USDA, these foods that contain eggs or creams must remain refrigerated or over ice, covered and served immediately to be considered completely safe. If they're neither, they must not be out of the fridge for more than two hours, or one hour if the temperature is more than 90 degrees Fahrenheit outside. If you don't know the ingredients or how long it's been out, skip it.
Fruits & Veggies
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), fruits and vegetables, even cooked vegetables, are fine at a barbecue. However, if they're covered in cream or grilled, you may want to avoid them for the reasons listed above. Fruits and veggies must be thoroughly washed and handled with care as to prevent any possible cross-contamination of bacteria from entering the fruit, too. So don't use the tongs you're using on the hot dogs on the pineapple slices, and you should be fine.
They're a popular salad topping, and often shoved on top of a burger with some avocado to be coined a "California burger." (At least in the diners here in New York City.) However, according to the CDC, raw sprouts are a no-no. They may contain salmonella or E. coli, and those are difficult to treat in the pregnant population, so it's best to avoid them.
Ice Cream
Not so fast, baby maker. If the ice cream is homemade, make sure it's not made with a raw-egg custard base. That could lead to salmonella, according to the FDA. If it's store bought or regular old dairy based, however, just make sure to get it straight from the freezer. Bonus points for rainbow sprinkles.
The Cheese Plate
According to the FDA, cheese follows the same rules as dairy products. It must be refrigerated or left out for no more than two hours, or one hour if the ambient temperature is above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, avoid all raw or soft cheeses like Brie, Camembert, or goat cheese, as they may contain dangerous listeria.
Lunch Meat & Hot Dogs
According to the CDC, deli meats and hot dogs are fine provided they've been heated to above 160 degrees Fahrenheit. (The CDC used the description "steaming hot.") This will kill any listeria that may be hanging out in the hot dog or deli meat and make it safe for consumption.
Beverage Station
Obviously, you're not going to be playing any rounds of flip cup, but did you know that you also shouldn't be drinking unpasteurized non-alcoholic cider? Yep. According to the CDC, raw cider may contain the bacteria listeria, and can cause irreparable harm to your little one, so be on the look out.
As for soda, the website for Dr. Sears warned against consuming too much of it, the sugar, combined with the caffeine, can cause depression-like effects leaving you sluggish and unhappy. Also, the hit of sugar fills you up, but isn't providing any nutritive benefits for the calories.
As far as diet soda, a study published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that the consumption of diet soda and fake sugar could possibly lead to pre-term delivery, so it's best to avoid diet soda.
Deviled Eggs
The risk for salmonella in this perennial favorite is low, according to Parenting magazine, but like the creamy and mayo based salads, they must stay cold, according to the FDA. Keep them on ice and covered or in the fridge to keep them fresh and tasty.

|[1]27 March 1985
Madras, Tamil Nadu, India
|Years active
Upasana Kamineni (m. 2012)
|See Chiranjeevi family
Ram Charan (born 27 March 1985) is an Indian film actor, producer, and entrepreneur who works in Telugu cinema. He is one of the most popular and influential actors in Tollywood[2] and has featured in Forbes India's Celebrity 100 list since 2013. Charan is the recipient of several awards, including three Filmfare Awards, two Nandi Awards, two CineMAA Awards, and two Santosham Best Actor Awards. The son of actor Chiranjeevi and Surekha, Charan made his acting debut in the successful action film Chirutha (2007), for which he won the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut – South. Charan rose to prominence with a starring role opposite Kajal Aggarwal in S.S. Rajamouli's fantasy action film Magadheera (2009), which is one of the highest-grossing Telugu films of all time. He won several accolades for this film, including the Filmfare Award for Best Actor - Telugu.
Charan established himself as a leading Tollywood actor with the commercially successful films such as Racha (2012), Naayak (2013), Yevadu (2014), Dhruva (2016) and Rangasthalam (2018), which ranks as his highest-grossing release. He won his second Filmfare Award for Best Actor - Telugu for his performance in Rangasthalam.
In 2016, Charan established his own production house, the Konidela Production Company, under which he produces films.[3] Beyond his film career, he owns the polo team Ram Charan Hyderabad Polo Riding Club.[4]
Personal life[edit]
Ram Charan was born in Madras (now Chennai) to Telugu film actor Chiranjeevi and his wife Surekha on 27 March 1985.[1] He has two sisters. He is the grandson of Allu Rama Lingaiah and the nephew of Nagendra Babu, Pawan Kalyan, and Allu Aravind. He is the cousin of Allu Arjun, Varun Tej , Sai Dharam Tej, Allu Sirish, Niharika Konidela. He was educated at Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan, Chennai,[5] Lawrence School, Lovedale[6] and at St. Mary's College, Hyderabad.[7]
Charan got engaged to Upasana Kamineni, the vice-chairman of Apollo Charity and chief editor of B Positive magazine, in Hyderabad on 1 December 2011. Upasana is the granddaughter of Prathap C. Reddy, the Executive Chairman of the Apollo Hospitals.[8][9] Subsequently, they got married on 14 June 2012 at the Temple Trees Farm House.[10]
In 2007, Ram Charan made his film debut as the leading man in Chirutha, which was directed by Puri Jagannadh and completed 50 days in 178 direct centres and 15 other shifted centres. The film completed 100 days in 40 direct centres.[11] He played the role of Charan, an ex-convict who is hell-bent on killing the murderer of his father. Rediff.com praised his performance stating: "Ram Charan is quite promising. Dance and action appear to be forte. He is rather graceful in the dance numbers. He also stays clear of any oblique reference to his star father by way of vdialogue or adopting any particular mannerism or style."[12] His performance in the film earned him a Filmfare Best South Debutant Award and Nandi Special Jury Award.[13]
After the release of the 2009 film Magadheera, which was only his second film, directed by S.S.Rajamouli, Charan established himself as one of the leading contemporary actors of Tollywood. He played dual roles in this film in which one is a brave soldier of a kingdom in Rajasthan in the 17th century in love with the princess but loses her and dies, the other a bike racer who falls in love with a girl who is the re-incarnation of the princess and wins her knowing their past. His portrayal got immense critical acclaim. The Times of India wrote: "Ram Charan returns as a valiant soldier and breathes life into the larger-than-life role with ease. He showcases his horse-riding and dancing skills to perfection."[14] IndiaGlitz commented: "Charan has come up with a mature performance and he has carried the film very well. Both his characters were done justice and he reminded of his father at many places."[15] Directed by S. S. Rajamouli,[16] the film received six Filmfare Awards including the award for Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Telugu and Nandi Special Jury Award for Charan.[17] In 2009, he became a spokesperson for Pepsi's advertisement campaigns.[18]
Charan starred in Bommarillu Bhaskar's Orange in 2010 as Ram, an NRI living in Australia whose opinions are against loving forever. IndiaGlitz wrote: "Ram Charan gave an excellent performance all through the film. His attire, makeup, dressing style, accessories and body language give the audiences a fresh feel of an urbane guy. He improved a lot in all the departments including action, dances, dialogue modulation, body language."[19]
His next film was Rachcha, directed by Sampath Nandi. He did the role of Betting Raj, a gambler whose life takes a toll on him. IndiaGlitz wrote: "He shows flashes of Chiru-ness more than he ever did in the past; be it his baritone or demeanour, he is a Megastar in effect. Helped by a strong script, he could have been much better."[20] The film released on 5 April 2012 and was declared a commercial success.[21]
His first release in 2013 was Naayak, directed by V. V. Vinayak. He played another dual role, one a mafia leader in Kolkata and the other a simple software employee in Hyderabad. The Times of India wrote: "Ram Charan did a great job, though there was no variation shown between the two characters."[22] It opened to positive critical acclaim and became a commercial success.[23]
Charan made his Bollywood debut alongside Priyanka Chopra in Zanjeer, a remake of the 1973 film of the same name. He played the role of ACP Vijay Khanna who swears Vengeance on his parents' killer. Charan made his debut as a playback singer with the song "Mumbai Ke Hero", composed by Chirantan Bhatt, in the album Thoofan, the Telugu version of Zanjeer.
In his next Telugu film, Yevadu (2014), directed by Vamsi Paidipally, he plays two characters, one who has received a face transplant of the other and becomes the target of underworld gangs because of the mistaken identity. Bangalore Mirror wrote: "For Ram Charan, Yevadu is essential to establish his status after Thoofan tanked at the box office. His character has two shades and he tries his best to bring variations. He dances like there is no tomorrow and the choreography is a delight to watch."[24] Sify wrote: "Compared to his earlier films – Nayak and Thoofan, Ram Charan has done a fairly good job here. His acting is effective in intense scenes and action episode. To satisfy his audiences, he has also done some good steps in the Freedom song."[25] Charan's next release in the same year was the family drama Govindudu Andarivadele.[26] The film opened to mostly positive reviews from critics and grossed over ₹40 crore (US$5.6 million) at the box office.[27]
His next film was Bruce Lee[28] where he played the role of a stuntman who gets involved in a scuffle. It wasn't a success due to its weak narration and comedy.[29] His next film Dhruva (2016), was declared a hit due its unique story and visuals.[citation needed] Times of India wrote: "Ram Charan looks his fittest best. As an actor, Ram Charan impresses in all the scenes that required high emotion. And as for the scenes where he had to be elevated as the hero, they will not disappoint his fans."[30] In 2018, he acted in the blockbuster Rangasthalam directed by Sukumar, declared as third highest grosser of all time in Telugu cinema.[31] In 2019, he starred alongside Kiara Advani and Vivek Oberoi in an action film Vinaya Vidheya Rama which was directed by Boyapati Srinu.[citation needed]
He is also the producer of his father Chiranjeevi's 150th film Khaidi No. 150 and Sye Raa.[32] He also signed to appear in his uncle Pawan Kalyan's production.[33]
Other work[edit]
Ram Charan is an equestrian and entrepreneur.[34] He owns the polo team Ram Charan Hyderabad Polo Riding Club.[4] He also serves on the board of directors of MAA TV.[35]
In early July 2015, he started his own Hyderabad-based airline business called TruJet.[36] Ram Charan is also the spokesman and co-owner of the obstacle running series Devil's Circuit.[37]

Ian Lawson presents three beautifully imagined XL Art Books. All the way through the photographer's journey, from dreams and desires to realisation. Blending documentary and landscape genres, Ian's work weaves together evocative picture stories from the Outer Hebrides, the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales.
Today, the sea and sky match with luminous light and colour, my eyes discerning distance and closeness, haze and reflection. There is an ethereal luminosity about the place, beautiful yet somehow alien. For some strange reason, and for the first time, I feel uncoupled from the landscape. I want to bring it all together in my composition, so I turn my camera towards the view and softly press the shutter. In those few seconds, there is everything in nature photography I strive for: patience, luck and magic. All were in blessed abundance when this moment was captured.

Innovative (ADJECTIVE)
1. (of a product, idea, etc.) Featuring new methods; advanced and original.
2. (of a person) Introducing new ideas; original and creative in thinking: "an innovative thinker".
Search the mission and values statements of many companies, the cover
letters and resumes of job seekers, or the position descriptions of
job boards and "innovative" is a common word. Companies strive to be
innovative and they want innovative employees. Career seekers promote
that they are the innovative people companies want.
But how innovative are company managers and employment policies? Are
they really using new methods for compensation? Are their staffing
methods advanced and original? Is the workplace environment creative
and efficient?
For the past 8 years I have worked with some companies that I found to
be truly innovative in securing staffing resources by contracting those
resources and compensating them through a 1099 instead of employing
them and sending a W2.
What made these companies innovative is that they partitioned the
development of technology critical to their companies core competancy
between contracted and employed staffing. They identified and
contracted the development of technology that was core, but generalized
across their product and client market. They employed staffing to validate,
maintain, customize and support the manufacture and marketing of their
The advantage is that they could specialize and optimize their
staffing in both the contracted and employed areas instead of under
hiring or over hiring in either area. This avoided undesirable and
costly staffing reductions and improves time-to-market by avoiding
training and false starts caused by inexperienced or generalized
There are a number of companies looking for innovative staffing to
work on innovative products right now. I am currently looking for the
ones that are also interested in innovative methods for staffing. If I
have reached one in this blog, please give me a call.

As an iPad owner, you have probably noticed that this device is intuitive. Just tap a button and presto! It works, right? There is more to the iPad than that, so keep reading to learn about it all.
You can get to all the running apps on your tablet. Double-clicking on the Home key shows all open apps at once. This is a great way to switch between apps. To get rid of this bar, swipe the screen in a downward direction.
You can access a remote server using a VPN. If you need to establish a VPN connection with your iPad, go to the network tab of your settings and activate the VPN feature. You'll be prompted to enter a username, as well as a server address. Speak with a member of the network administration team to assist if you cannot do this.
Did you accidentally start an app that is noisy? To quickly mute the iPad's volume, just hold down the volume button. If you find yourself needing a mute button often, you can set the screen lock button to work as a permanent mute button.
If WiFi join notifications annoy you, simply get rid of them. Go to Settings and opt for the Ask to Join Network option. By selecting that, you'll no longer receive all of the invites.
You don't need to press the small camera icon that's found near the bottom left of the screen to see videos or pictures you just took. Swipe to your right using a finger, and there is your video or picture. Swipe left in a continuous motion to see prior photos.
Adjust the settings in order to see more than just two lines from emails prior to opening them. Go to settings and then to mail, locate the preview setting. Select the number of lines you'd like to see. Now you'll be able to see every email that you have in your inbox, which really speeds things up.
Do you find it irritating that you have to constantly tap your bookmarks icon to view your favorite sites? Enable your bookmarks bar for permanent status, and you will never again have this issue. Enter the Settings menu, select Safari, and enable Always Show Bookmarks.
You can set your iPad to block mature content if your child will be using it. All you have to do is turn the parental control feature on through the settings menu. You can restrict mature films, bad language, and inappropriate content.
Set up FaceTime with your phone numbers and emails. The default option is to use FaceTime with your primary email, but this can be changed. If you have more than one email or number, the settings section is where you want to go.
It is easy to access running applications quickly. All you must do is to click Home twice, and they appear at the lower edge of the screen. The easy tip will save you quite a bit of time scrolling through pages and pages of apps trying to find the one you are looking for.
Isn't it the worst when you don't know where a hyperlink will take you? You can easily solve this. Since hovering over a word isn't possible, you'll need to press and hold the hyperlinked word. The URL associated with the hyperlink will be displayed.
To protect your battery's life, set the brightness to auto brightness. Using this option, your iPad can adjust its lighting to match the lighting where you are. This will help preserve the battery, which means you can use your iPad longer without having to plug it in. Go to Settings and then Brightness & Wallpaper to change it.
The lock key can either lock orientation or mute the tablet. Keep in mind that the original iPads did not have this feature. As long as you are running iOS 4.3 or higher, you have the option. Holding down the "volume down" key allows you to mute the iPad as well.
Multitask your web browsing experience using tabs. Why depart from the webpage you are browsing just because you are clicking on a link? Rather than tap the link, push down on it and options will appear. Select "Open Link in New Tab" and you'll be able to go back whenever you wish.
There are two ways you can view PDFs on the iPad. You can place a PDF inside of iTunes and then sync it up with your iPad or if your would like you could also email a PDF to your iPad. Use both methods until you figure out which one you prefer. You may like both methods depending on what your needs are at the time.
You should enable the Find My iPad feature in case it is ever lost. Doing this will permit you to locate your iPad; it will also make it possible for you to remotely delete information stored on it. You will be incredibly grateful to have enabled this feature should your iPad ever become lost or stolen.
Important information stored on the iPad should always be backed up. You can also set up your iPad to delete personal information should someone try to get into it. Go to "Password Lock" in settings and choose erase data.
When you are browsing with Safari, the top of the title window can be clicked to go to the beginning of any page. A lot of people scroll up manually but you can save time if you don't do this. It is much faster to tap the title window and be on your way.
If your television is an Apple, you can stream content from your iPad to view on it. The icon for Airplay will allow you to see what's able to be shown. Just give it a tap and whatever is on the screen will show up on the television set.
Even though it is quite simple to use, you get more out of it once you learn everything about it. This article is a great place to begin learning, but you need to seek out more. Understanding how to do things the right way can help your iPad be everything you want it to be.

Sorry, folks, I'm running a little behind on getting the previews up for you this week. Last minute details and questions for Nationals have to take precedence. Nationals is less than a week away!!! Can you feel the excitement in the air? I sure can!
Articles tagged with: promo
More Nats News and Previews (Week)
Final details for Nationals are coming together which means we have some more Nationals related news to share with you today. Of course we also have awesome new alternate release RoJ cards and the final winner promo for you too!
Where Are My Friday Spoilers?
Friday came and went but there were no new spoilers from the upcoming special release of RoJ. What gives?!!
2017 National Promo and More Alt RoJ Previews
I'm excited to reveal the new National promo for 2017 today! For many of you this is the first time you're hearing that The Tabernacle is getting a sweet new reprint. But a few savvy readers found an easter egg we hid here on Land of Redemption a little while back revealing the card title.
Resources Update and Top Decks from States
It's a little over due, but our Cards and Rules resource page has been updated! I'd also like to take a moment to share with you what did well at the Iowa State Tournament I recently hosted.
Stop the Presses!
The other day we released a preview of the new Paul promo that was primarily based on the Community Created Card project that Gabe helped organize. As Gabe wrote in his preview article, we went through several iterations of testing with Paul and tossed around many different combinations of ideas pulled from the suggestions submitted by the Redemption community before finally landing on the version that Gabe shared.
Regional Promo 2017 – Job
Despite being a strong Hero in his time, Job (Priests) didn't really catch on until Dust and Ashes was released with the Disciples set. Suddenly we had a Job and angel offense where Job was the star Hero. In those days Dust and Ashes was nearly impossible to target, meaning Job was nearly impossible to stop. With some strong enhancement backup a Job offense could really do a number on the small defenses that were often used in those days.
As the game has progressed defenses have gotten larger and stronger, Dust and Ashes has become vulnerable to Shipwreck (and a number of other cards) and the Job offense has faded into the pages of history…
State Promo 2017 – Fearless Traveler
This year's State promo is going to bring us a card that is quite different than anything we've seen before. He brings a number of new twists to the Hero card type that we believe will be a great asset to certain deck types.
One of our focuses for "Move Over Bacon" (MoB) has been to empower the control archetype while still promoting interaction in both sides of the game (offense and defense). Time will tell if we've done a good job at that or not.
District Promo 2017 – Paul
If you tuned in to yesterday's promo preview, then it should be no surprise that we're printing the other community created card as a promo this year too. An all new version of Paul is coming to clay decks everywhere!
In case you missed the process, we had a two way tie when the community voted to choose the card we would create together. When we held a second round of voting to decide between The Watchman and Paul, the winner was decided by a single vote! Clearly the people wanted both!
Local Promo 2017 – The Watchman
The story of this promo begins unlike any promo we've had before. Not with the games creator, Rob Anderson, not with the play testers and elders, but with the Redemption community!
The Great National Promo Experiment
Think back to the first time you ever attended a Redemption National Tournament. Your trip to the location may have been an epic tale of heroic struggle and fortitude or it may have been a short trip with little to remember. Either way, as you walked into the venue, you inevitably came to a registration table stacked with possibilities and promos. You paid your entry and then were handed your very first copy of the newest National promo. What did you want to do immediately? Right, put it into your deck immediately so you can show of your newest acquisition. But alas, your dreams were dashed at deck check-in.
A Peek Behind the Curtain – Noah's Ark
Earlier this week Travis previewed the new Noah's Ark promo for us. If you haven't seen that yet be sure to check it out.
There are a lot of decisions that go into making a card. Sometimes they are easy. Other times they aren't as cut and dry. We were pretty well decided on what Noah's Ark will do long before Cloud of Witnesses went to print. But there was one rather large aspect of the card that was undecided right up until a week ago.
Esau, the Hunter (**SPOILERS**)
After we had first gone over the first set list for Cloud of Witnesses, my brother and I were in the car headed somewhere I can't remember, discussing the set and trying to think if there were any major thematic cards that weren't currently in the list. We realized that one Hero, Jacob, did not have any opposing evil characters in the set, and the most obvious antagonist for him would be Esau. And so, we decided to try to take a crack at thinking of a good ability to propose an Esau for the set list.
This is NOT Sparta – The Story Behind "Gideon's" 300
The book of Hebrews lists Gideon among the heroes of faith in Israel's history (Hebrews 11:32). The exploits of men like Gideon, who lived more than 3,000 years ago, are recorded because "whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope" (Romans 15:4). The incident in his life most familiar to Bible readers was a spiritual exercise in overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Gideon understood the ultimate importance and safety of having God as man's ruler.
Development of a Card – Boaz' Sandal
Today we're going to take a peak behind the curtain to give the Redemption fan base a glimpse at what goes on during the design and development of a card. The process isn't the same every time. Some cards have a really good story, while others don't have much to talk about.
In the beginning…
Boaz' Sandal came to be during the design and development of the I & J starter set, when the Ruth theme first came to be. We knew that we wanted to keep the starter sets simple to make the game easy to learn. That meant that we weren't going to include Artifacts,
