IT IS highly likely that Guy Fawkes wanted to cause as much damage as possible when he hatched the Gunpowder Plot in 1605.
If he was willing to risk death for his treason, he was willing to risk blowing up half of London town.
Under torture, the York-born rebel revealed that he and 12 others wanted to blow up the Parliament, King and lords to throw the country into political turmoil. The plan was to raise a new monarch who would return Britain to being a Catholic nation.
Fawkes was not burnt as some people believe, but hanged, drawn and quartered.

Your guide to unique experiences
If you are looking to leave a small footprint and want to go for a humane swim with the turtles, the key is to not touch or ride them. Hawaiian green turtles are federally protected. They are fragile creatures who need space around them to spread their flippers. The turtles, also called Honu, can get up to 300 pounds!
Side story :: After cliff jumping from the Black Rock, Giancarlo started swimming back to shore when he saw a huge creature swimming toward him. He says it was one of the scariest moments in his life, until he realized the shadow moving through the waves wasn't a shark but a huge-ass turtle!
How to get there :: You can swim with turtles at the Black Rock, the 5 caves, Honokeana Cove or Wailea Point

at Deeds Carillon
April 24, 2011
Join us Easter Sunday at Deeds Carillon for the return of our annual nondenominational service. The entire community is invited to attend this free, ecumenical celebration presented jointly by Dayton History and Greater Dayton Christian Connections. The event starts at 6:30 a.m. Attendees are encouraged to bring chairs or blankets for seating.
This engaging and powerful event continues a 68-year annual tradition. The original Easter Sunrise Service, held in 1942, allowed Mrs. Edith Walton Deeds to unveil Deeds Carillon to hundreds of eager Daytonians. Mrs. Deeds, an accomplished musician, had dreamed of sharing music with the public through a carillon ever since her European travels during the 1930s.
Since that first concert, countless thousands have enjoyed carillon concerts and cultural events around the tower. Deeds Carillon is the largest carillon in Ohio and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. We hope to see you at Deeds Carillon on Easter Sunday morning!
Higher than Ever in 2011!
With the unveiling of many new buildings and exhibits in 2011, the value of a Dayton History membership will be higher than ever.
As a result of these exciting additions, we plan to slightly raise membership rates for Individuals, Families and Grandparents on
July 1, 2011.
To avoid the rate increase, why not renew your 2011 membership early?

Element AI Taps Former IBM Innovation Leader To Help Steer Growth Path
Linda Bernardi to work with large customers and 'help them think from an AI-first mindset'
Element AI Inc., one of Canada's best-funded artificial intelligence startups, has hired a senior International Business Machines Corp. executive as the company prepares to focus on growing its business outside of the North American market.
The Montreal-based startup added Linda Bernardi, IBM's former chief innovation officer for its cloud computing and Internet of Things businesses, to head the company's growth and product strategy. Ms. Bernardi joined the company earlier this month, she said in an interview. Her role will mainly focus on collaborating with Fortune 100 companies and "help them think from an AI-first mindset," she added.
"Artificial intelligence, unlike anything we've done in computing before, is not defined in a way that somebody delivers a package, they install it and you're good to go," Ms. Bernardi said. "Gone are the days of certain software doing certain things. So, when I look at all the players that really understand this complexity and are approaching it with a certain comprehensiveness, Element AI really stood apart."
Canada has emerged as a hotbed for AI companies after laying roots in studying and developing the technology at various Canadian universities over the past four decades. University of Toronto professor Geoffrey Hinton, who works part-time at Alphabet Inc.'s Google unit, increased interest in Canadian AI and machine learning researchers after publishing a seminal work on neural networks in 2006.
Element AI made a big splash in June after it raised $102 million in Series A financing, the biggest such round for a Canadian-based AI startup, according to Dow Jones VentureSource. Meanwhile, the Canadian government in March earmarked 125 million Canadian dollars ($97 million) to set up artificial intelligence research hubs in Toronto, Montreal and Edmonton, Alberta.
Many Canadian academics that specialized in AI and machine learning soon found themselves plucked by U.S. tech giants such as Alphabet Inc.'s Google or Facebook Inc. Element AI, founded in 2016 by Yoshua Bengio, one of Montreal's top AI researchers, and entrepreneur Jean-François Gagné, was set up to help global corporations implement the technology into their operations.
"The problem we're facing today is there are so many different opportunities for us, we need to decide on the right ones," Mr. Gagné said in an interview. "We needed an experience world-class leader that would help us deal with our growth but also build the right product to serve our customers."
Ms. Bernardi's appointment fills in a key role for Element AI, which is looking to open new offices in Europe and Asia in the coming year. The company also is looking to hire a new chief financial officer, whom it expects to announce soon, Mr. Gagné said.
She also plans to spend a significant amount of time interacting with Element AI's fellows, a group of 61-odd academics involved in artificial intelligence research that can later be used in various business applications. As high-calibre AI talent becomes scarce throughout North American universities, Ms. Bernardi said she plans to reach out to various academics in Europe and Asia and recruit them for the company's research network.
Correction: Element AI Inc. was founded by researcher Yoshua Bengio and businessman Jean-François Gagné. The company's artificial intelligence fellows number 61. A previous version of the article said that Mr. Gagné was a researcher and the number of fellows was about 50.

In a statement issued to KNO, Mirwaiz said "the message of the great and revered prophet (SAW), and his exemplary life is the guiding light for all humanity for all times to lead a peaceful and meaningful life and for the betterment of humanity." In his message to the Muslims of the world in general and those living in Jammu Kashmir in particular, Mirwaiz said, "Our love and devotion for the last Messenger of Allah (SAW) can best be exhibited when we follow his teachings in letter and spirit and implement them in all spheres of our lives." Paying glowing tributes to Prophet (SAW), Mirwaiz said that "the best way of paying tribute to the revered prophet and defeat the designs of imperial and Zionist powers against Islam and the Muslims is to introspect into our thoughts and deeds and realize how much we have deviated from the righteous path shown by the prophet and take a pledge that we will rectify it and follow the teachings of holy Quran and Sunnah of Prophet (SAW)." Mirwaiz prayed to Almighty Allah to help instil love of great prophet (SAW) in the hearts of people and help the Muslims across Kashmir to follow the footprints of Prophet (SAW) in true letter and spirit.(KNO) Author : KashmirNewsObserver News Source : Kashmir News Observer Place : Srinagar Srinagar Tour Packages Leh Ladakh Packages

Modeling UK Natural Gas Prices when Gas Prices Periodically Decouple from the Oil Price
Frank Asche, Atle Oglend, Petter Osmundsen
Abstract: When natural gas prices are subject to periodic decoupling from oil prices, for instance due to peak-load pricing, conventional linear models of price dynamics such as the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) can lead to erroneous inferences about the nature of cointegration relationships, price adjustments and relative values. We propose the use of regime-switching models to address these issues. Our regime switching model uses price data to infer whether pricing is oil-driven (integrated) or gas-specific (decoupled). We find that UK natural gas (NBP) and oil (Brent) are cointegrated for the majority of the sample considered (1997-2014). UK gas prices tend to decouple during fall and early winter, when they increase relative to oil consistent with seasonal demand for natural gas creating gas-specific pricing. When evidence favors integrated markets, we find that the industry 10-1 rule-of-thumb holds (the value of one MMbtu of natural gas in the UK market is one tenth the value of one barrel of Brent oil), while the overall relationship, including decoupling periods, is 9.2-1. The paper highlights that what relative value to use, depends on the purpose of its use.

When we experience stress, tension, sadness or worry, it's common for thoughts to become negative and distorted. To make matters worse, it's easy to make a habit of these thinking errors – and that drags your mood down even more.
The good news is that you can learn skills to give your mood a boost! But first, you need to recognize when you are heading down a negative thinking path.
5 common types of negative thoughts to watch out for:
Black and white thinking
You jump to a negative conclusion even when there is little or no evidence to support it. Or, you assume you know what someone is thinking.
Example: If you don't do something perfectly, you tell yourself you've failed. If you don't work hard all the time, you call yourself lazy.
Jumping to conclusions
You see things in only two categories – all or nothing.
Example: You notice two people passing by and think: "They're laughing at me."
You magnify your problems and minimize your strengths.
Example: Your boss asks you to re-write a report at work and you think: "I'm going to get a bad review and I will never be promoted."
You think that if something goes wrong once, it always will.
Example: You make a comment which irritates a friend and you think: "I never say the right thing."
Making should statements
You set very high standards for yourself and tell yourself: "I should do this."
Example: You think you should visit your mother every week and feel guilty if you don't. You also set high standards for others and then feel resentful when they don't measure up.
Beating the Blues is possible: How to spot negative thoughts and replace them
Most of us do at least one form of this negative self-talk regularly. And it usually happens automatically, so we might not even realize it.
You can begin to change these thought patterns by asking yourself 4 questions:
- Do I ever have any of these types of negative thoughts? Probably, so observe your thoughts and make a list of the forms of negative thinking that you use the most. You'll probably notice you use the same ones over and over.
- What is the evidence for or against your automatic thoughts? Just because you automatically think it, doesn't mean it's true.
- What are different ways to look at the situation? By being more fair and kind to yourself with your thoughts, you can see the situation in a more balanced way.
- What action can I take? Rather than staying hung up on your negative thought, make a positive plan of action.
An illustration of how challenging negative thoughts can help boost your mood
Bob doesn't get a project done on time. He automatically thinks: "I can't do it. I don't have what it takes."
That's black and white thinking, and it makes him feel miserable.
Bob pauses and takes a fresh look at his situation in a few different ways:
- He imagines what a friend might say to him. "That was a tough deadline to meet. You made really good progress toward it."
- He imagines what he might say to someone in his situation. "I've been there, too, buddy!"
- He realizes he doesn't always miss deadlines. "I've had a lot of past successes and have a lot of knowledge about how to do my job."
Then he asks himself what action he can take:
- Can he get more practice with the computer program he was using?
- Can he ask colleagues if they have had trouble meeting deadlines on this project, too? If they have, maybe the deadline was unrealistic.
- Can he ask his supervisor for more training?
Bob might still have doubts about himself, but this exercise gives him a more balanced view and it makes him feel a little better.
Like any skill or habit, healthy thinking might take some practice at first. But growing research shows that emotional resilience is a skill we can learn. And like physical activity and healthy eating, we all need healthy thoughts in order to thrive.
Practice building your emotional resilience
HealthPartners members and patients: Try out Beating the Blues.
HealthPartners is the first health care organization in our region to offer this type of web-based program to treat mild and moderate stress, sadness, tension, depression or anxiety. There are eight 30-minute sessions that make up Beating the Blues. Most people complete one session each week. But you can go at whatever pace works best for you.

Caramel Apple Dip
My kids LOVE their apple slices, as do me and my husband. We find ourselves sitting down to this fruit at snack time more often than not. I was browsing my grandmas cookbook the other day and stumbled upon this recipe for Caramel Apple Dip. I decided to put the recipe to the test and it turned out absolutely fantastic. My husband raved about how yummy it was. But who wouldn't love a little sugar and caramel smeared on their apple?! I am not complaining one bit :)
Note: I usually double this recipe if more people than my family are eating it. It disappears so quick! It is definitely a crowd favorite.
- 16 individually-wrapped caramels, unwrapped
- ¼ cup water
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt caramels with water, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, cream together cream cheese, sugar and vanilla.
- Lastly, fold in caramel mixture into the cream cheese mixture.
- Serve immediately with apple slices.

This isa great recipe for fall!! I cannot wait for some crisp apples!
Just wondering, do you think his would hold up on warm in a crockpot? I was looking for this exactly for a kids sport event dinner. Thanks.
I have made a dip real close to this recipe and it calls for a crock pot. I wouldn't be afraid to try this one in it.
Averie @ Averie Cooks
I want this on everything. Pinned! Cannot believe it's apple season and the fall already! Although in SoCal and I know in AZ, it's not exactly 'cool' right now!
Do you serve this warm, cold, or room temperature?
Chef in Training
I like mine slightly warm, but I am sure any which way would still be delicious :)
Chung-Ah | Damn Delicious
How fun! I wanto faceplant myself in this!
sally @ sallys baking addiction
I just bought a couple pounds of pink lady apples and I would love a dip like this to serve them with. Kevin and I usually snack on fruit after dinner. This would be perfect!
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers
Oh yummers! This look fantastic! I can see dipping lots of goodies into your dip!!
oh yum! I love dip for apples... makes me think I should pull out some pumpkin and start thinking about fall :o)
Sarah K. @ The Pajama Chef
this sounds perfect!
Mary Beth
OMG! I made this tonight and it is so delish!!!! However, I have to cut me and my family off. We CAN'T eat it all in one night! Will this hold overnight in the fridge, or is this a one night only dip?
Amy @ Elephant Eats
This looks so yummy! Sounds kinda like a cheesecake dip. Mmmm :)
Hi I was wondering, I rather use the caramel chips, how much should I use instead?
Now I'm hooked, I always keep some in the fridge with a spoon at the ready. Once in a whole I remember to slice some apples to go wit it. ;)
Brenda @Chatting Over Chocolate
Yum! Thanks for sharing this fabulous fall recipe!!
Emily from Reaching Beyond My Reach
This sounds fantastic! I love fall recipes! Thank you for sharing!
Kammie @ Sensual Appeal
The marker of Fall... how perfect for dipping for apples!
Just out of curiosity, do you use hard or soft caramels?
Chef in Training
I have always used either the individually wrapped kraft caramels (unwrapped of course) or the kraft caramel bits and made caramel to each packages directions.
So, when you are finished eating, just store in the fridge and reheat at a later time in the microwave?
Can this be canned ( a sealed jar for later use) how long does it last before it goes bad?
That is what I am wondering about. The recipe states to 'serve immediately.' It sound delicious, but I'd prefer using a recipe that I know will 'keep' for a few days if we don't eat it all in one sitting! I wish the recipe were more specific regarding storage.
You can also use low fat cream cheese
Made this today and it was the hit of the party! I used lite cream cheese with no problems! I served it as room temp and it stayed nice and soft, unlike packaged caramel dip.
I have made this for years, but j use a jar of caramel ice cream topping. Saves the trouble of melting the caramels ;) So yummy... I could eat it with a spoon!
Cyndi M.
How much homemade caramel would I sub for packaged? 1.5 cups?
chef beth
May be faster if you use caramel syrup you make in a medium size batch ahead of time & keep in you fridge. I usually have it on hand since I just love caramel!
Don't want to lose this recipe for the fall when all those nice apples come on! Sooo excited!!
Hi, when you mention caramel do you mean the small block of sweet? Could you perhaps send me a pic to see what we have as a equivalent in SA. Thank you Lynne
I just made this for the kids I'm watching for the summer and they loved it. Thanks for a quick easy snack
I've made this without the caramels, will have to try this one!!!! Thank you!!
Judy Crummett
Wondering if you really need the brown sugar…wouldn't it be sweet enough with sugar from caramels?
Can you make ahead? Should you chill or is better in crockpot warm?
Do you think I could substitute Smuckers caramel topping instead of the caramel candies and water?
If so, maybe I also need to adjust the amount of brown sugar and vanilla?
Do you think I could use caramel topping in stead of the caramel candies??
Would caramel topping work in place of the candy??
ann marie
I make this regularly for school events and parties. Spread it on a platter, and top with crumbled skor bar for a great treat. If you need to be nut free trade the skor bits for sponge toffee or salted caramel sprinkles. Granny smiths or other tart apples are delicious with this dip, and you can use a few tablespoons of caramel topping or sauce instead of the melted caramels.
Kathy Hitchcock
You can make this dip and leave out the carmels and water. It is just as good with the cream cheese, brown sugar and vanilla. My family loves it that way if you don't happen to like carmel.
I was raised on this dip! My family and I would make the dip, apples, cheese slices and popcorn every Sunday night and watch our favorite shows together. Great memory.
Something that makes this recipe MUCH easier is using straight soft caramel dip instead of individually wrapped caramel. They sell it in the fruit and veggie section of the grocery store on an end isle and comes in a little 8 oz cup.
I've been making this dip for years, and it is PHENOMENAL, but better somehow with 20 unwrapped caramels! It IS fall. In a bowl. :)
So kind of stupid question but when you say melt in water, do you mean do a double boiler and melt over the water? Or actually melt it in the water? Seems kind of weird to actually melt it in water
That was my thought too...I tried it first the way it was written bc even though I cook & bake a lot...I thought well lets just see. It was watery and kinda gross so now I'm making it with the water bath double boiler. I hope this turns out much better....in process now.
Cheri Johnson
I love everything made with cream cheese
I used homemade caramel with creamcheese and it was great! Your recipe is very good too!
Rather than use the wrapped caramels, make your own. Take a can of sweetened condensed milk, place in a crock pot, then put in enough water to completey cover the can. Set it up for 8 hours on high. The wrapped caramels have multiple ingredients, some artificial... this home made... ONE ingredient that you can pronounce. :-)
Teresa cardoza
Can u make this up like 5 hours before the guest arrives thanks looks so good
I make dip like this, but it's just room temp cream cheese and a bit of brown sugar and vanilla. Still tastes caramel-y and delicious and I always have the info residents on hand! Kids love it and I love that i can totally control the sugar content!
Going to try it this weekend. Fall is the perfect time for apples and caramel
Love this idea! Haven't tried yet but thought you might like a tip I learned recently....if, after slicing, you drop your apple slices into any clear soda, i.e. Sprite, 7-Up or Ginger Ale, for a few seconds; remove to paper towel, then arrange on plate (or send off to school in a ZipLoc bag?) they will not turn brown for several hours!
How many cups worth of dip does this make/people does this amount serve? I'm trying to find out if I need to double the recipe for the group I'm having over this Friday. Thanks!
I have made similar to this. I'm all about EZ! I use a jar of caramel-that you would find by ice cream toppings-, cream cheese and heath bar bits. No extra sugar or water needed. Although I might try adding vanilla next time I make it!
Love this. Just took a batch to a weekend getaway with friends. They all loved it. The light texture was great. Pulled it out of the fridge over and over again.

Helping city chickens with country technology
With our time now split between the city and our farm, it's a bit harder to look after our flock of chicken. While our neighbours are happy to help out (in return for eggs!), the less that has to be done, the better.
Enter some tried-and-tested country technology: the automatic waterer.
This uses a 'float valve' to automatically cut the water when it reaches a specific height. When the animals drink from it and the levels drops, the water source cuts back in.
You won't find this handy item at the local Bunnings; it is easy to find at a farm supply shop in the country. While it's intended for horses, cattle, etc it works perfectly well for chickens.
This particular unit comes from the USA, and it has a 1/2″ connection for the water. With a bit of hunting in Bunnings I found a plastic adapter that went from 1/2″ to 3/4″, to which I could then add a standard hose fitting. Then it's just click in the hose and you're done.
One less thing to do in this busy life, plus happy chickens!

The Sore Penis: Tips for Penile Relief
Ahh, the sweet dilemma: an evening of glorious, long-lasting, uninhibited sex is often followed by a morning marked by an exceptionally sore penis. And, of course, sometimes that sore penis is the result of a less enjoyable cause, such as going commando while wearing pants made of a rough, irritating fabric; one gets all the soreness with none of the pleasure. Whatever the cause, obtaining prompt penile relief is necessary. Following proper penis care suggestions is one excellent way to get that relief.
Check the pain first
Most of the time, a guy gets a sore penis because the ol' manhood has been put in a position in which it encounters too much friction (whether in a pleasurable manner or a painful one). But sometimes the soreness is due to other reasons, such as an infection. If the penis is red and swollen or displays signs other signs of infection, a quick check-in with the doctor may be necessary.
However, assuming that the soreness is due to a more utilitarian reason, such as overuse, following are some simple penile relief approaches that can help alleviate the soreness.
Hold off on masturbating. It seems to make sense, no? If the penis is really sore, a guy needs to take a break from masturbating for a day or two. That's especially true if masturbation was the reason for the soreness in the first place. Sometimes it feels so good to masturbate that a guy may indulge himself for several hours, ending up with a very raw member. Or he may be so intensely involved in his masturbating that he grips his manhood way too tightly, creating a death grip that guarantees soreness after he stops. So now matter how horny he may feel, a guy needs to keep his hands off himself until the soreness goes away.
Hold off on other sex as well. And for the same reason as he needs to waylay his masturbation temporarily. Intercourse with a sore penis usually leads to further soreness. So does being masturbated by another person. Surprisingly, oral sex is also a no-no; it may seem that having a mouth on the penis would not create further irritation, but the fact is that friction is still involved - and while it may feel glorious in the moment, it ultimately just sets back the healing time.
Go bare. When around the privacy of one's own home, a man should spend some time naked. This keeps the penis from rubbing up against fabric and feeling irritated.
Though not outside. But when going out in public, wearing snug-fitting underwear is a must; going without underwear is a must not. A sore penis rubbing against denim, wool, tweed or other rough fabrics will make life miserable.
Go hot and cold - that is, warm and cool. Sitting in a nice, cool (not icy) bath can provide some much needed relief to sore tissue. Following it up with a nice warm (not fiery) compress also helps the healing.
Crème it. Be sure to liberally apply a top quality penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) regularly to help provide penile relief from a sore penis. Keeping penis skin properly hydrated helps the overall healing process, so use a crème that contains a combination of established and effective moisturizers: shea butter and vitamin E are perhaps the ideal combination for effective dermatological healing. This will make the skin more supple and pliable, and keep it looking great as well. For extra relief, be sure the crème also contains vitamin C. This popular vitamin is a key component of collagen, a tissue that gives tone and elasticity to penile skin. As a bonus, vitamin C is also helpful in maintaining cardiovascular health as well as erectile function.

Bollywood starlet Poonam Pandey rose to fame after a controversial publicity stunt. During the 2011 cricket World Cup, she declared that she will strip if India wins. As we know that our team brought the cup home but she was deterred by BCCI's disapproval. However, this actress fulfilled her heart's desire after KKR won IPL in 2012. A poster girl for controversies, she is always grabbing the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Being a modern-age model, she is an active user of Instagram. She often shares her images that are both praised and trolled by the netizens. Here are some of the images:

Students from Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Newmarket and Our Lady of the Lake Catholic College School in Georgina who are part of the Health and Wellness SHSM (Specialist High Skills Major) program at their school, recently engaged in an experiential learning opportunity with health care professionals from Southlake Regional Health Center.
The students were at the Newmarket-based health centre to work on a design challenge that would better help geriatric patients. Rob Bull, Vice-President, Finance, Technology and Innovation Chief Financial Officer and Chief Information Officer for Southlake provided a warm welcome for the students and staff.
The Southlake team set up a number of stations where students discussed and created ways to build empathy for aging populations. Guests at the stations included former patients, Southlake physiotherapist and Sunrise Senior Living. Students moved thru a design thinking process to come up with solutions to the authentic challenge of geriatric patient falls. Students then presented their various solutions to members of the Southlake Regional Health Center team.
Southlake is the community partner for the Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship (ICE) training model, a Rotman School of Management concept. ICE is one of the necessary requirements of the SHSM program.
Specialist High Skills Major programs help students focus their learning during their last two years of high school on particular sector that matches their interests. Enhanced industry-specific learning, and an additional certification upon graduation are trademarks to Ontario's SHSM programs. York Catholic offers 26 SHSM programs at 14 high schools throughout York Region.
Jocelyn Roberts, SHSM Liaison called the engaging learning opportunity, "an excellent experience! It's not enough for students to learn their subjects and enter the Health and Wellness industry, they need to be able to problem solve, meet ever-changing needs in evolving demographics. These types of experiences open their eyes and ears to the hidden challenges of health care."
York Catholic thanks the Southlake Regional Health Centre team for partnering with its schools to provide students with these great learning experiences.

Jewish group alarmed after German police let neo-Nazis march
German security agencies say The Third Way, a relatively small party, has close ties to far-right extremists; Josef Schuster the head of Germany's Central Council of Jews: 'right-wing extremists are marching in Saxony in a way that brings back memories of the darkest chapter in German history'
Footage of the march Wednesday prompted widespread outrage in Germany and calls for authorities in the state of Saxony, where far-right sentiment is particularly strong, to step in.
"The images of the neo-Nazi march by The Third Way party in Plauen are disturbing and frightening," said Josef Schuster, the head of Germany's Central Council of Jews.
Noting that the rally took place on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance and Heroism Day the day when Jews commemorate the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered in the Holocaust, Schuster added that "right-wing extremists are marching in Saxony in a way that brings back memories of the darkest chapter in German history." Bellow footage of the rally.
Schuster added that: "If the Saxony state government is serious about combating right-wing extremism, it must not allow such demonstrations," Schuster said. "The Jewish community expects decisive action and visible consequences from the responsible authorities and the state government."
German security agencies say The Third Way, a relatively small party, has close ties to far-right extremists. The march in Plauen took place to the beat of heavy drums made to look like those used by the Hitler Youth. Participants shouted slogans such as "Criminal foreigners out!" and "National socialism now!"
Saxony police said several hundred people took part in the march and described the day as a success from a police perspective because there was no violence. Though, Counter-protesters were kept away.
This as the German Chancellor Angela Merkel's center-right Christian Democratic Union is running neck-and-neck in recent opinion polls with the far-right Alternative for Germany party ahead of Sept. 1 state election in Saxony.
At a separate rally Wednesday, neo-Nazis marched through the western German city of Duisburg with signs calling for the destruction of Israel.

Snap's (Snapchat) Spectacles go on sale online starting today in the United States for now. Spectacles (the smallest wireless video cameras in the world, capable of taking a day's worth of Snaps on a single charge, and we integrated it seamlessly into a fun pair of sunglasses – available in 3 different colors!) was announced last September by Snap Inc to make it easier to it users to take videos on the go and sharing it with friends.
This is Snapchat's first hardware solution and according to their filing at the SEC for the $3b IPO, they expect Spectacles to play a big role in its 2017 earnings. The IPO could value at $25b and this is expected to grow even more because Spectacles has the potential to increase the number of videos and views significantly. By allowing users simply hit a button on the glasses and recording short videos, it has the potential to capture a god share of the videos market and this could be attractive to advertisers who may want to reach a certain demographic.
By having platforms like Instagram using its original "Stories" idea, Snapchat has reportedly lost some brands who now prefer Facebook's Instagram even though some think there could be other reasons why some brands now prefer Instagram.
You would have to visit the Spectacles website to buy the $129.99 wearable.

Oh Autumn. Yes, we love the mist, the conkers, the food (clearly we've talked about ALL of this already)….But, we really don't love the coughs, the colds or the flu. It's not yet the middle of September and already half the people I know have succumbed to some kind of illness. I think it's the change in seasons (it's happened a little earlier than last year, but hey, that's the pay-off for a great summer), it's definitely Not Much Fun. Which is why, we are taking all the precautions we can and boosting up our bodies in preparation for the months ahead.
To do this, we've enlisted the help of uber-nutritionist Henrietta Norton, the founder of Wild Nutrition, who we spoke to back in June about healthy summer eating. This time, Henrietta has focused on the essential topic of how to nourish your health this winter….
"As we prepare for the autumn equinox later this week, it seems apt to put thought to nourishing our health for the winter ahead. Preparation is, after all, the work-horse of prevention….
Here is my 5-point plan to support your body this winter:
1. Start from the base – The immune system has been likened to your body's private army. The majority of this army lives in the digestive system, primarily in the form of good bacteria and ensuring you have adequate levels of these could support your resistance to colds and flu. Research published earlier this year also demonstrated that this beneficial flora can improve brain activity (such as concentration) in women, another perk for those of us affected by the darker days. Good bacteria can be found in live natural yoghurt or a good quality multi-strain daily supplement such as Multi-Strain Biotic from Wild Nutrition.
2. Health from the root up – Root vegetables such as squash and beetroot are rich in the nutrients selenium, carotenoids and vitamin C, which offer essential support for the immune system. This is great news for our skin too as these nutrients protect our skin cells from oxidative damage and inflammation. Slow roast or blend into winter warming soups.
3. Medicinal Mushrooms – Called the 'Mushrooms of Immortality' cordyceps sinesi, maitake and reishi have been used in Tibetan medicine for thousands of years. They are rich in polysachharides that support our defences against infection and, on the occasions we do get ill, strength and duration is reduced. Shiitake and oyster mushrooms also contain the benefits, albeit at lower levels, so throw these into your stir-fry or lightly grill and add to sourdough bread with chopped parsley for a nutritious breakfast. Alternatively choose a good daily multi-nutrient such as Wild Nutrition's Balance MultiNutrient , which includes these along with antioxidants.
4. Nourish your mind –Inadequate magnesium appears to reduce serotonin levels and recent research has highlighted the mood supporting benefits of this fabulous mineral even in treatment-resistant mild depression. Build in magnesium-rich delights into your daily feast such oats, millet, pumpkin seeds, almonds, chard and spinach. As 70% of western women are estimated to be deficient in magnesium you may choose to supplement your diet. Choose supplements in a Food-State rather than synthetic versions, as they are better absorbed and require lower doses.
5.Berry healthy – Berries are abundant at this time of year and it is no coincidence; they pack a powerful punch when it comes to infection. Blackberries are rich in phytonutrients called anthocyanidins which can support the fight against bacterial, viral and fungal infections. They have also been shown to support the body's balance of blood sugar and thereby energy and weight. They also have a mild anti-inflammatory affect that can have a positive impact on aching joints or chapped winter skin. When ripe they are an excellent source of Vitamin C too, a nutrient that has already placed itself at the centre of natural immune support. Get foraging and store in the freezer for warming compotes, crumbles or pockets of bursts of colour in your morning porridge.

Let's get crafty…
Let's get crafty.
Last week, the kids had a friend over on a play date. Now, I don't know about any of you, but for me it means one eye on the kids while I get sucked into the housework: the boring mundane reality of cooking, washing etc, etc. I wish little gremlins would come out and magically do it for us parents.
We decided the chores could wait and we were all going to have a bit of fun. I was shopping during the week and bought a load of art materials, including key rings. I gave the kids a look at what was on the table and they decided on the key rings. They began by sketching their ideas.
They choose the colours and the materials they were going to use. I have lots of scraps of materials, but you could also use scraps of material from clothes. We began cutting out the shapes for the ideas.
I showed them how to thread the needles and demonstrated how to sew. Just use scraps of material to begin with to practice on. Now there was lots of troubleshooting, lots of knots, but they persevered.
It can get frustrating for some children, so take a break and leave it aside for a while. Have something nice like we did: yummy frozen banana pieces with sprinkles.
We went on to sew the various bits and bobs onto the fabric once they had a few practice runs. I hope you like the photos. All my photos, except my product shots, are taken by me. I don't have a team of people taking the shots either, so bear with me. Any tips would be gladly taken on board from like-minded photo enthusiasts…. and bloggers.
My daughter decided on using some beads on her key rings. This is the joy of looking at your children creating arts and craft at your kitchen table. My son helped their friend with the sewing. They get so involved in the creative process. The finished piece went onto the school bags beside a good message from The Road Safety Authority: "Be Safe, Be Seen".
Hope you are enjoying the Easter break.

Missing the ESOS deadline – what are the penalties?
Answering common questions
Missing the ESOS deadline will potentially incur harsh fines.
Any business or organisation who qualify to participate in ESOS but fail to do so will incur a fixed penalty of up to £50,000; and/or an additional £500 for each day starting on the day after the date of compliance until the notification is completed, subject to a maximum of 80 days; and/or publication of details of non-compliance on the Environment Agency website within the public domain.
There are also a series of similar penalties that can be levied on businesses missing the ESOS deadline, who either fail to notify the Environment Agency of their compliance by the required date, and for failing to maintain adequate records to demonstrate compliance with ESOS.
Failure to comply does not only mean ignoring the requirement to undertake an audit.
If a business starts an audit but does not use a Lead Assessor (as stipulated under the regulations) or does not provide full disclosure of the information required to complete the audit, then this will be considered as a failure to comply and penalties will be incurred.
Likewise, if any statements are made within the audit which are found to be false or misleading then penalties and a public "naming and shaming" will follow.
If you are concerned about potentially missing the ESOS deadline, help is at hand. Contact us now for an intial chat.

A fellow poet posted a critique of Simply Put, that basically recommended shortening the poem; too include an example of a cut down version. Within the example, the lines:
Last month I wrote you an epistle.
A didactic poem of blue ink on off-white paper.
were changed to:
I wrote an epistle.
A poem of blue on white.
That comment drew a question about the lines as written. Simply put, (pun intended) here is a short explanation.
The lines are fraught with intentional symbolism; far more than I normally imbed.
Last month I wrote you an epistle.
A didactic poem of blue ink on off-white paper.
epistle: Noun 1. a letter, esp. a formal or didactic one; written communication.
didactic: Adjective 2. inclined to teach or lecture others too much: a boring, didactic speaker.
blue: The symbolism of blue is quite complex and is not as well know to most people as are some other colors. In a few words, depending on the usage blue can be associated with the sky (male), ocean (female), peace and purity (the Virgin Mary) and protection from evil. Well known in the Western world is the saying the bride wears "…something blue…" which refers to fidelity.
ink: I chose this as a symbol of permanency and for the narrator it reads, "my love for you is a tattoo on my heart that will be there forever."
off-white: Direct reference that the symbolism of white in the West being purity and innocence. Thus the narrator is recognizing something has come between them; refer back to the saying referred to above for 'blue' and it would imply that, while the bride may be a 'virgin in white,' something has tainted the relationship.
paper: A most treasured gift that can last a thousand years or can be easily destroyed by the water of tears.
My comment about 'paper' was a thought used in my poem Liberty Town.
BTW, Liberty Town is a great art co-op in Fredericksburg, VA.

Soft Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies
Because everyone loves the aroma of homemade cookies fresh out of the oven, I went back into the archives and pulled out an old family favorite that I had developed for VegNews magazine back in 2017. I don't know why I waited so long to make them again because these cookies are seriously amazing.
Whip up a batch of these easy dairy-free cookies in no time, and watch them disappear!
Thick and rich with just the right touch of sweetness, this vegan version of the old school classic makes for an indulgent comfort snack or easy no-fuss dessert!
This recipe yields approximately 4 dozen.

- water
- crunchy peanut butter
- vegan butter
