Fast Food
Let it be known – I am not a big fan at all of fast food companies. They are generally filled with empty calories, employees with lots on their minds, and questionable food sources. Please, even though these are GFCF restaurants, use them sparingly, on days when you need a break or as an ultimate positive reinforcer–BUT NOT ALL THE TIME! Okay, I feel better now that that is out there!
Important note: Please remember to always talk to the MANAGER of all fast food restaurants to make sure that individual fryers are used for cooking their french fries. Let them know how important this issue is to you and your child!
- Arby's plain roast beef – no sauce/no bun
- Burger patties (no bun)
- French Fries (Note: each individual Burger King has their own process of deep frying. It is best to make sure a separate fryer is used for cooking french fries.)

From Paul Geasland, Executive Chef, Food and Beverage of Legoland, Carlsbad, California:
"Emailing or calling ahead is recommended, especially if one is concerned about cross contamination (from gloves, countertops or airborne). I would recommend contacting me 48 hours ahead. I would prefer email if possible, as it gives me time to research. I like to know the ages, number of people, and food preferences. I can then make recommendations and dispatch the meal accordingly.

Quick Service
- Hamburgers (without the bun)
- Hot Dogs (Hebrew National–without the bun)

Leprosy is a highly stigmatized disease which leads to various other problems for affected people such as mental depression, identity loss, low self-esteem, discrimination, inequality of status and social exclusion. With time social & mental health repercussions get more worse than physical disabilities. They also face poor access to government services & available facilities in terms of medical treatment and other beneficiary schemes meant for marginalized people.
SELF – STIGMA is another critical issue where leprosy affected people hide their disease and left their residence, society on their own with a fear of social exclusion and creates self – stigma within themselves.
NLR India Foundation has adopted a strategy which is a people – centred approach, which starts with interventions targeting the intrapersonal level, to empower affected persons to assist in the development and implementation of stigma-reduction programmes at community level that is Community based Rehabilitation. To reduce discrimination significantly, single Level & single- target group approaches are not enough.
We promote social inclusion by providing following
Personality Development Workshops
To boost up confidence, increase the capabilities & motivates them to express freely
Integrated Self-care – Practicing self – care together in a group
Trainings to heal ulcers, improve functioning of paralytic hands/feet and to preserve eye sight.
Education Support to children of affected people to make them equivalent to normal family children
Provision of stationary, bags, uniforms, life skills trainings, tuition support etc.
Strengthening of Disabled Person's Organization
Capacity building of DPOs for self-advocacy towards disability inclusive development
Vocational training of youth to empower them
Supporting youths for skill development through various vocational training courses
Livelihood Promotion to make them self reliant
Livelihood enhancement support to persons and families affected by leprosy
One important method of stigma reduction is "Knowledge & awareness – knowing the facts about Leprosy"

Just as it was in Jerusalem during the time of Jesus' ministry, our city is also filled with people in desperate need. How do we get more workers into this mission field called Tucson?
Jesus transforms people who dare to believe that the hope they're searching for is found in Him. But the status quo for most Christians is to wonder: Will I ever discover my purpose? Does God have a dream for me?
For too long, our attentions have been sharply focused on our failures and the fears that have kept us from really engaging with the work in our mission field. Christians tend to forget… we need hope too.
It's time to fix our minds and hearts on Jesus Himself, our living hope, because He is calling us. Jesus is calling believers who dare to hope for more than the status quo; God has more for you. You have a divine purpose. God has given you passion and special gifts to fulfill it.
There's a reason the Author of our faith calls the harvest plentiful: it's the place full of opportunity to transform lives the way He transformed us.
Our mission field is Tucson, our mission is the people living here. Our city is filled with people looking for hope, people who are hurting emotionally, physically, spiritually and mentally. God is calling workers to help people with every kind of need.
Do you hope to be a part of what God is stirring in our mission field? You can be. There are other Christians, just like you, wanting to fulfill their purpose and transform the city. They're looking for someone just like you, to enter in the mission together and be a part of spiritual history.
The harvest is plentiful. Come and see.

This is a great write-up. It goes into exactly what I had to slog through for over 10 years to get to the point I can explain what I know in IT and INFOSEC, esp esoteric stuff. It was all scattered among tens of thousands of books, papers, and articles I had to go through. I got quick at looking at abstracts & dissecting highlights from the papers of many fields. The intuition I developed sped the process up a lot. Most I haven't fully digested because that's difficult as the OP suggests. Yet, I'm sure based on seeing it all that much of it could've been summarized or introduced better to save me literally man-years of effort.
Heck, we even occasionally get that in the form of survey papers. They often won't serve as an introduction. Yet, an introduction combined with a good survey will give you quite the head start on where the field is, maybe some of the why, and what you might want to do. The OP overestimates the work required to do that given each sub-field might just need 1-4 experts doing both of those periodically. So, for each subfield, you just try to convince about that many to create those resources. Also, do whatever it takes to make sure the resulting publications are posted wherever newcomers are likely to see them. Each time you succeed, you enable a huge swath of people to get past a lot of research debt.
The distilling part in general is a cultural problem that also has high amount of effort. I don't have any suggestions on how to fix that. I think these problems with academic culture will require top-down solutions from groups controlling them and/or funding bodies. That is if you want major change instead of just small groups doing better.
FWIW, IEEE S&P has a dedicated category for "SoK" papers; S&P is a fairly major conference, so that helps at least a little: https://www.ieee-security.org/TC/SP2017/cfpapers.html.
I agree with you, but fixing this may not be that hard.
Hm I haven't heard the term SoK, but I like it. I would love to see a list of SoK papers across all subfields of computer science.
I have a few that are good, like "Abstract machines for programming language implementation"
And there are a few on MapReduce-type systems.
That was a good one. Btw, you can share this research more easily if you post it in more accessible form. Preferably right to the PDF or something with easy link. Best resource is here:
Type name into it to probably get description, metadata, and PDF link as so:
Just save them, bookmark the links, etc.
The final . was included in the link by accident. The correct link is
Yeah, that's the sort of thing I'm talking about. Each sub-field could get a lot done with just a handful of people. Btw, while trying to re-create history of high-assurance security, I did find an important summary that came from S&P where they sort of surveyed themselves & INFOSEC field:
Note: Paywalled of course… (rolls eyes) I suspect that's part of the reason most INFOSEC people don't know INFOSEC. They never saw the important work, techniques, case studies, and so on. Most still cant tell me what a covert channel is or how they'd find them in their favorite OS/stack.

Secondary goals
A better way to understand metastasis
THE most insidious thing about cancer is its tendency to spread. A lone primary tumour can be tackled by knife or radiation beam, as well as drugs, with a reasonable hope of success. But once it has metastasised, and spread secondary cancers around a patient's body, such treatments are much less likely to be effective for any length of time. Stopping metastasis would thus be a great achievement. And a device created by Matteo Moretti of the Galeazzi Orthopaedic Institute, in Milan, and Roger Kamm of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, may be a step towards that goal. Their invention, which they describe in Biomaterials, is a lab-on-a-chip that mimics the metastasis of breast cancer into bone marrow.
One of the mysteries of metastasis is why migrant cells from different sorts of primaries prefer to set up home in particular types of secondary tissue. To test their device the two researchers studied the well-established proclivity of breast-cancer cells (pictured above) to colonise bone. They wanted to look at the hypothesis that in this case the attraction is between a signalling molecule called CXCL5, which bone cells use to talk to other cells, and a molecular receptor called CXCR2, which is often found on the outer membranes of breast-cancer cells.
The chip itself is a glass and plastic sandwich 2cm across that contains a series of interlinked channels in the junction between the two materials. The channels are filled with a gel in which cells can grow. Dr Moretti, Dr Kamm and their students used these chips to create matrices of blood vessels, bone cells and stem cells which they hoped resembled the living marrow of a bone. They then placed clusters of breast-cancer cells in the middle of each chip. As a control, they did something similar using matrices of collagen (a protein abundant in bone) instead of ersatz marrow. As they guessed would happen, the cancer cells quickly invaded the marrow, but not the collagen. The question was, what was attracting them in?
To find out, they repeated the experiment with breast-cancer cells that had been incubated with antibodies to CXCR2. These glom onto the receptors and reduce their attraction to other substances. That slowed the cancer cells' spread down a lot. Conversely, when they added CXCL5 to the collagen matrices, cancer cells moved in rapidly. The link between messenger and receptor thus seems to be what makes bone so attractive to breast-cancer cells.
This is useful information. Taking chemical aim at the CXCR2 receptor, or developing drugs that reduce the secretion by bone of CXCL5 might slow—or even halt—breast-cancer metastasis. But the new chips have wider ramifications, too. In making them Dr Moretti and Dr Kamm have created a way of testing many types of cellular interaction, including those between other cancers and the tissues they like to colonise. That may, eventually, result in less metastasis, fewer secondaries and longer lives for patients.

Corral Series Concludes Tonight In Calgary
In what could be the last competitive hockey game in the Stampede Corral, the Calgary Hitmen, rebranded the Calgary Wranglers for a night, will host the Prince Albert Raiders at 7:00 p.m.
Tonight marks the end of the three-game Corral Series, presented by Adrenalin Source for Sports.
"The first two games of this salute to Calgary's hockey past have been a lot of fun for our fans, players and our city," said Hitmen Vice President and Alternate Governor Mike Moore. "As we prepare to say our final farewell to the Stampede Corral tonight, we invite everyone to help pay tribute to the building and to the Wranglers franchise that was a decade long fixture on our sports landscape from 1977-87."
A total of 26 Wranglers alumni went on to play in the NHL with two former players collecting Western Hockey League trophies. Goaltender Mike Vernon was named both Player of the Year and Goaltender of the Year in 1982 and again in '83 while forward Kelly Kisio took home Rookie of the Year honours in 1979. Doug Sauter was named Coach of the Year in 1980.
The Wranglers moved to Calgary from Winnipeg. During their 10 years in our city, they made the playoffs seven times with their deepest post-season run to the 1981 league final. That playoff year the Wranglers beat the Billings Bighorns, Lethbridge Broncos and Regina Pats en route to the championship series before falling in the seventh and deciding game to the Victoria Cougars.
Doors open tonight at 6:00 p.m. and the evening begins with a special pre-game ceremony featuring three Wranglers alumni in Coach Sauter, Ray Cote and Jack MacDonald along with Raiders alumnus Kenton Rein. MacDonald will host the on-ice ceremony and introduce the starting line-ups for both teams while Sauter, Cote and Rein will drop the puck in a ceremonial face-off. Sauter was the Wranglers head coach from 1978-83 recording 202 wins, Cote tallied 158 points in parts of three seasons as a forward and MacDonald was a broadcaster with the team. Rein was a goaltender with the Raiders, who along with Cote, also played for the Canadian National team.
Both the Hitmen and Prince Albert are getting into the spirit with their look to fit the timeline.
Calgary will wear limited edition Wranglers jerseys and socks that will be sold in an online auction at https://elevateauctions.com/CorralSeriesWranglersJerseys2019 which opens Friday at 7:00 p.m. and closes on Feb. 20 at 8:00 p.m. Net proceeds to benefit the Hitmen Education Fund.
The Raiders will be wearing throwback sweaters dating back to the 1988-89 season.
Great seats are still available including a family four pack for $80 plus GST which includes tickets for two adults and two kids 12 and under. Tickets can be purchased at any Ticketmaster location or the Scotiabank Saddledome Box Office. Tickets are also available at the Stampede Corral Box Office.

What is Tree Trimming?
You've probably heard of tree trimming at one time or another, but what exactly does this process involve? In simple terms, tree trimming is where an arborist trims the structure of the tree to promote better growth. Generally speaking, the focus is mainly on removing green shoots, which helps to encourage healthier growth across the tree's structure. This process really needs to be carried out at specific times for it to be effective, and these might vary depending on the species of the tree. Our arborists will make sure that all of these details are taken care of to ensure no mistakes are made.
Stronger Growth
The primary reason to invest in this particular tree service is to help your tree flourish and grow to its full potential. Trees that experience well-timed and careful tree trimming interventions will experience stronger growth across the entire tree system – and this will even cause higher fruit and flower production during those growth periods. Many people think that because you're cutting parts of the tree away during this process, that it's a destructive procedure – but that couldn't be further from the truth. If you care about the long term wellbeing of your tree, this is an absolute must.
Careful Timing
To successfully carry out effective tree trimming services, the timing needs to be done right. This isn't the kind of work that you can just schedule for a random day, and hope that results follow – each kind of tree requires tailored treatment to guarantee the best possible outcome. All of our arborists recognize how often to carry out tree trimming, and when in the year this is most effective. Generally speaking, tree trimming should happen twice a year – but there is no one-size-fits-all rule. Consult with our arborists regarding the species of tree that you want treated to get a clearer idea on what needs to happen.
Aesthetic Gains
One of the less-heralded benefits that is available when you decide to invest in tree trimming is the positive effect it can have on your tree's aesthetic. We try to enhance the natural shape of the tree when we're carrying out this work, rather than manicure it into a less natural shape. Not only is this more attractive, but it is better for the health of the tree.

LBJ Express
Best Project, Highway/bridge, and Excellence in Safety, Award of Merit
General Contractor/Lead Design Trinity Infrastructure, Ferrovial Agroman US and Webber JV
Developer LBJ Infrastructure Group
Owner Texas Dept. of Transportation
Spanning 13 miles, the new LBJ Express is a $2.7-billion public-private partnership project that crosses two municipalities within Dallas County and doubles the existing capacity of the highway corridor.
Trinity Infrastructure, a joint venture between Ferrovial Agroman US and Webber, led design and construction, the first comprehensive development agreement in Dallas County.
Reconstruction included two major interchanges—IH 35E and Dallas North Tollway—as well as 12 arterial crossings, six collector-street crossings and one pedestrian walkway crossing. Additionally, 5.8 million sq ft of bridge decks were built, more than 6 million cu yd of material excavated and nearly 2 million sq ft of retaining walls constructed, all while maintaining traffic flow for 250,000 motorists through one of the busiest highway corridors in the nation.
A team of more than 9,000 workers clocked more than 16 million man-hours, with a 1.2 safety incident rate and no life-threatening injuries or fatalities. All employees and subcontractor workers were required to attend a four-hour safety and environmental orientation that addressed hazards and working safely around traffic before reporting to work on the project.
The project began in late 2010 and was completed within budget and three months ahead of schedule.
During construction, some bridges had to be built first, which meant that lower structures were constructed with greatly reduced vertical clearance. Because the project could not exceed a specific height, constructing the managed lanes using cantilever decks above underground lanes significantly benefited the project.

I wish I had more to say about Beale Street, but all I can call it is heartbreaking. It filled me with a tension that so many black films fill me with, where I'm waiting for an ultimate, inevitable cruelness to set in, and so paralyzed by that waiting that I watch it more like a horror film. But there is no cruel twist coming. It's all there from the beginning. And although it is more than anything a story about love and the lengths we go to see that love through, it's a story about how much longer that length is when your very existence denies you to the right to live a peaceful life.
Every black person born in America was born on Beale Street, born in the black neighborhood of some American city, whether in Jackson, Mississippi, or in Harlem, New York. Beale Street is our legacy.
Barry Jenkins could film himself taking a shit and it'd probably be one of the most beautiful things I'll ever see.
Very formal - precise and controlled in almost every aspect of Barry's direction. Quite refreshing being that the docu-style is so overused these days.
Very much like Moonlight, I am drawn towards the very strong supporting actors, all bringing complexity and levity to characters that have very limited screen time - Colman Domingo as Tish's father, Teyonah Parris as Tish's sister and a powerful "cameo" from Brian Tyree Henry.
Screened at the Ray Kurtzman Theater at CAA.
i love James Baldwin's book, but it's a testament to Barry Jenkins' talent that many of the most beautiful parts of this adaptation are of his own invention (Dave Franco's scene being a clear and particularly moving example). what an extraordinary, generous, perseverant film this is.
as with ROMA and BURNING i feel the need to see it again before i say anything more, but yeah… Barry Jenkins: not bad at making movies.
this movie made me feel helpless, hopeful, sad, happy, broken, fixed, enraged, calm, and at peace all at the same time.
"you ready for this?"
so immaculate that it's almost untouchable in a way, like looking at artwork through glass. it's still a sight to behold, but feels slightly inaccessible somehow. the story and how it's presented and mixed up is my biggest issue here, but it's overall packaged so carefully and beautifully that i find i didn't mind much at all in the end
and nicholas britell really did it again: this is easily the best score of the year. my goosebumps were continuous
gonna trick my racist grandma into watching this saying its an eastenders spin-off about ian beale
I look forward to many years of hearing this movie's magnificent score and then stopping whatever I'm doing to listen to it while taking several long, deep sighs.
if beale street could talk it would ask me to stop crying during its entire run time
"Unbow your head."
the waltz of life and love and hope. there is no greater force of good on this earth than barry jenkins' camera.
this is a perfect film, the world just isn't ready for it
The way Fonny and Tish would look at each other with so much love made me want to cry every single time

North Street Keighley, West Yorkshire
North Street in Keighley is one of the few streets remaining in this historic town nestled in the South Pennines in Yorkshire. Built at the confluence of two rivers, the town has long been related to the mills, powered by these watercourses, and the manufacture of textiles and textile-related machinery continued right up until ten years ago.
Over the past two hundred years the population of Keighley has risen tenfold, and with the rising population, traffic increases. Much of the town was remodelled in the 1960s, but the older parts of the town suffered from too many vehicles competing for too little road space.
Following several consultations, the local council decided to make some alterations to the road network in and around the town centre, to alleviate the traffic gridlock that was becoming a feature of the town centre.
The old Keighley College building that fronted onto North Street was demolished, making space for an additional traffic lane, and provided a public open green space. Existing street trees had to be removed to allow for the road works, so new trees were specified in large soil volume tree pits, supported with GreenBlue Urban RootSpace soil cell systems.
To maximise the value of the new tree planting, it was decided to use these tree pits as storm water attenuation and treatment pits, taking water from the carriageway, passing it through a stone layer on the top of the tree pit and then filtering it down through the Arborsoil Hydro soil mix provided for the root growth. The water then transferred through a clean stone layer to an underdrain to a stormwater drain. This method of conveyance gives an acceptable level of pollutant removal and slows the water down so that the existing drainage network can cope with the increasingly violent storm events.
Calculations: The SuDs tree pits were designed to accept highway water runoff resulting from the creation of an additional 356sq.m of new carriageway coping with a rainfall intensity assumed to be 50mm/hr; peak runoff rate was determined to be 4.95 l/s.
Using the 6 hours, 2-year return for a storm surge it was calculated that 7128 litres (7.128cu.m) of storage would be required.
It was further determined that there would be 7.77cu.m of water storage from the free board-level above the gravel surface along with the available void space of the gravel/slate 'mulch' before any infiltration to the tree pit soil actually took place.
It was calculated that the soil element of the tree pits could accommodate 20.16cu.m of water storage along with a further 2.88cu.m of water storage in the void space of the gravel to the base of the tree pits. Total storage capacity was estimated to be 30.81cu.m prior to any secondary infiltration to the surrounding strata or absorption from the trees, obviously, some assumptions were taken such as void ratio for the gravel set at 40% and the use of sandy loam soil with soil water saturation being 150mm water per 300mm soil depth.
From these calculations, the joint tree pit should be able to sustain peak rainfall for up to three and a half hours for a 1 in 30-year storm surge event.
Working alongside City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council and SIG Geotechnical Ltd, the project bought together irrigation and aeration, Root Management for guidance along with utilities, Mesh, Geonet and ArborSoil Hydro, specifically blended as a result of research and testing perfect for SuDS tree pits.
The trees have shown amazing growth over the past two years, which is typical for trees planted in these systems; uncompacted soil with good porous surfacing allows maximum gaseous exchange, and every storm event washes fresh nutrient into the tree pit. In summer 2020, noticing that the trees were still experiencing astonishing new shoot extension growth, GreenBlue Urban commissioned an independent arborist to undertake sap flow analysis; measuring the ability of the tree's vascular system to transport water to the canopy. The highly technical test equipment uses Heat Pulse Method probes to assess tree vigour and gives a real-time reading of the moisture uptake.
Using the algorithm below, tree vigour assessment can be calculated:
Sf (cm^3/hr) / Sc (cm^2) = TVA VPD (kPa)
Where Sf is Sapflow and Sc is Stem circumference.
On the day of testing, the Vapour Pressure Deficit was low at 0.5kPa, meaning that the humidity level was quite high. (VPD is the measured difference between 100% water potential in the atmosphere and actual water potential) The higher the humidity level, the less water can evapo-transpire from the leaf surface, so the test data showed a water draw of only 1.34 litres per hour. In a warmer and drier environment (average VPD is 1.5kPa) this would rise to as much as 4.0 litres per hour! The TVA measured 10,53, which is very high, showing exceedingly healthy trees. Bear in mind that these trees have only been planted for two years, these trees are demonstrating healthy steady growth and will increase in size and water draw with every year. Using trees as part of a Sustainable Drainage System is one way of creating additional capacity over time – as the trees grow they intercept more water on the tree canopy and they draw more water from the ground, therefore becoming increasingly efficient.
This project clearly displays how imaginative tree planting can provide numerous benefits without high levels of cost – and continue to provide these benefits for decades.

Emirates Stadium side track Old Trafford defender.
Check in to Arsenal vs West Bromwich Albion
Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Man United veteran Rio Ferdinand if he is released by the Old Trafford club this summer according to the Sunday People.
SEE ALSO: All the latest American Football news
The 35 year old is something of an unlikely Arsene Wenger target, the Gunners boss clearly not famed for signing players over the age of 30, though perhaps the Arsenal manager feels the chance to sign a player of Ferdinand's calibre on a free transfer is too good an opportunity to pass up.
Ferdinand is hoping to be offered a new Man United deal but with just a few short weeks until the end of the season it appears his wish is unlikely to be granted.
As many as a dozen clubs are said to be interested in signing Ferdinand who is into his twelfth season in the Man United first team set-up.
Man United signed Ferdinand from Leeds United in July 2002 and the centre-back has been a reliable performer who has picked up a host of honours including six Premier League titles and a Champions League triumph whilst racking up 444 appearances for the club in the process.
Wenger may well feel the need to bring in further central defensive options this summer, especially if benched Belgian Thomas Vermaelen demands an Emirates Stadium exit.

Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader Jane Dodds has responded to the Government's plans to ask the Queen to suspend Parliament from mid-September.
Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader Jane Dodds said:
Boris Johnson cannot be allowed to silence Parliament to drive through a catastrophic no deal Brexit he knows Parliament will block.
I was elected to be the voice of my constituents in Parliament. By shutting down Parliament, he is shutting out the public and their voice. It's an insulting, disgraceful and anti-democratic scheme to impose a devastating no deal Brexit on the Welsh people.
Boris Johnson will find it's much harder to silence me than he realises. Alongside my Liberal Democrat colleagues in Parliament, I will do all I can to fight this outrageous move, to block no deal and to stop Brexit.
Liberal Democrat Leader Jo Swinson commented:
By suspending Parliament to force through a No Deal, Boris Johnson and the Government would remove the voice of the people at the most important time. It is a dangerous and unacceptable course of action which the Liberal Democrats will strongly oppose.
Yesterday, MPs from all parties united to avert a disastrous No Deal Brexit and to prevent an anti-democratic shut down of Parliament.
We did this because a No Deal Brexit would be a catastrophe for our country. The Government itself has admitted that this will cause food and medicine shortages.
The Liberal Democrats will continue both our cross-party efforts to prevent No Deal, and our fight to stop Brexit altogether.

Man gets 40 years in prison for fatal stabbing east of Denver
DENVER - A man has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for stabbing a friend to death in the small town of Strasburg east of Denver.
The Denver Post reported Wednesday that 21-year-old Jeremiah Pepper was sentenced for the Aug. 10, 2016, death of 23-year-old Andrew Martinez.
Prosecutors say the two men started arguing after Pepper walked out to his car and discovered that Martinez had slept there overnight. The two had worked together at a local fast-food restaurant.
Senior Deputy District Attorney Cori Alcock asked the court for the maximum sentence allowed, saying the simple argument should not have led to Martinez's death. Pepper pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
Strasburg is about 35 miles east of downtown Denver.

Today we come to the newest iteration of mushroom Pokémon: the tall, slim-stalked, luminous Morelull and Shiinotic. Morelull and Shiinotic have an uphill battle to make themselves unique and interesting, as the fourth set mushroom Pokémon after Paras and Parasect (interesting by reason of soulless parasitism), Shroomish and Breloom (interesting by reason of kick-boxing dinosaurs), and Foonguss and Amoonguss (interesting by reason of… um… stealing Voltorb's schtick in a way that somehow makes even less sense). These latest versions… well, I mean, they give it a go.
To their credit, Game Freak are aware that they've put Morelull and Shiinotic in a difficult position, forced to live up to the legacy of multiple generations of other mushroom Pokémon, and have tried to turn the overlap between their designs into an in-universe rivalry. Sun and Moon set up the new Pokémon as counterparts to Paras and Parasect in a day-night pairing, with Morelull being found in the wild only at night and Paras only during the day (a similar pairing exists between Araquanid and Ariados), and references in the Pokédex to territorial disputes between the two species that can leave great swathes of forest covered in spores. We're also told, interestingly, that Paras and Parasect are somehow weaker in the Alolan environment (the Pokédex doesn't know why, exactly, but suggests both a lack of water and a lack of nutrients); their mushrooms grow poorly and their spores are less potent. Perhaps we're supposed to infer that Paras would outcompete Morelull in any other part of the world, but there's something about the Alolan climate that they are poorly adapted to, making it impossible for them to completely overtake the native mushroom Pokémon. On the other hand, Paras and Parasect's stunted development in Alola could be Morelull's doing. We learn from the Sun and Moon website that Morelull, like Oddish, are known for behaving like normal stationary plants during the day and uprooting themselves at night to wander around on their root-feet, but unlike Oddish, Morelull are given a specific motive for this behaviour: if they stay in one place for too long, they drain the soil of nutrients and cause plants around them to wither and die (the Pokédex says that they attach to tree roots and drain them directly – it could be they do both, deriving different nutrients from each). Since we know that Paras compete for territory with Morelull, it could be that Morelull systematically exhaust the plants whose roots are fed on by Paras and Parasect, keeping them from becoming successful. That would also neatly explain why the two are rivals, even though they have different feeding behaviours and are active at different times of the day.
Morelull and Shiinotic's most striking feature is the eerie, hypnotic glow of their spores. Glowing mushrooms are a staple of dungeon-delving fantasy, but there are several species in the real world as well, all of which emit light through the action of a family of specialised enzymes called luciferases (a reference not to the Devil, but to the original meaning of his Latin name – "lightbringer"). In European folklore the blue-green glow of these fungi is known as foxfire (probably from the French faux, false, rather than any reference to actual foxes) or fairy fire, and is part of the association between mushrooms and the fairy creatures of the world of magic. Like fae beings, Shiinotic is known for leading mortals astray, and Alolan folklore holds that following her glowing lights at night, like the lights of the ethereal will'o'wisp, will lead you to become lost in the forest, never to return. Similarly, so-called fairy rings – circular formations of mushrooms, especially the Scotch bonnet Marasmius oreades – are held to be traps set by fae creatures to curse or imprison unwary mortals who step inside their boundaries. This is what provides the justification for Shiinotic's Fairy-type powers, and I have to say, it's refreshing to have more Fairy Pokémon whose nature is informed by the sinister side of fairy lore. The other aspect of what makes Morelull and Shiinotic dangerous is simply what they are, because mushrooms and other fungi, unlike plants, cannot photosynthesise to acquire energy from the light of the sun, and therefore have to extract nutrients from dead and decaying things. We've already seen that Morelull drain and exhaust the plants and soil around them, a little like real mushrooms, but Shiinotic takes it a step further and can supernaturally drain life force with her very touch – or, if necessary, transfer excess life force to another living Shiinotic. It's not clear how this is supposed to be different from the variety of draining abilities possessed by other Grass Pokémon – few of them make it an important point of their design, but most Grass-types can learn Leech Seed, Giga Drain or both. It could have something to do with Game Freak's desire to make the Fairy type the one that's most closely associated with the Pokémon world's concept of life force – whether for benign or sinister ends. Of course, in spite of all this, tourists in Alola love to visit the enchantingly luminous forests where Morelull and Shiinotic live at night, because tourists are entitled morons.
Finally, I would like to share with you some of the bizarre trivia I inevitably stumble across in my day-to-day duties as an ostensibly sane Pokémon blogger. During the course of what I generously like to call "research" for writing these things, I have adopted the practice of just periodically Googling "Hawai'i + x" (x being mongoose, or stag beetle, or woodpecker, or whatever the Pokémon I'm writing about seems to be based on), just in case something interesting pops up within the first page or so. Aside from learning that there is apparently a thriving trade in psychedelic mushrooms on the Hawaiian islands (and, well – pretty glowing lights, altered states of mind, memory loss… Shiinotic knows something we don't; that's all I'm saying), the most striking thing I found on the first page of Google hits was a surprising number of articles about a rare Hawaiian mushroom whose scent is rumoured to cause spontaneous female orgasms. Because, y'know, of course. Before you get too excited and dash off to Hawai'i to start collecting these things, I'm going to let you down and spoil the story by saying that the whole idea is almost certainly pseudoscientific dreck, but this account of one woman's quest to discover the truth about the elusive mushroom is a well-written and genuinely fascinating read, as well as a reassuring reminder that my own predilection for random obscure biological trivia is downright normal compared to the lengths some responsible adult humans will go to in search of weird mushroom facts.
If you feel like putting Shiinotic on your team, what you'll be getting is fundamentally a sort of support-oriented tank with a nasty primary attack, potent self-healing capabilities, and strong disruptive techniques, but very poor speed and little flexibility. Grass/Fairy leaves Shiinotic with a lot of weaknesses (including a double weakness to Poison) and a lot of resistances, with some important types in both categories, as well as immunity to Dragon attacks. It also gets her access to Moonblast, which is one of the best moves in the game to have as your only attack, since nothing is immune to it and relatively little resists it. You can also take a Grass attack for diversity, probably Giga Drain for the incidental healing, but there really aren't that many Pokémon who take a lot more damage from Giga Drain than Moonblast (since almost everything that resists Fairy also resists Grass). And that's… well, that's about it for Shiinotic's offensive movepool. Sludge Bomb is there if you really hate other Grass-types or Fairy-types. Signal Beam is too weak to bother with most of the time, but will be your best option against a small selection of dual-type Steel Pokémon. The meat of Shiinotic's movepool is in her support options, and to begin with, we have to talk about her signature move, since it's one of her stronger selling points.
Shiinotic's signature move is Strength Sap. Strength Sap is a draining move, but unlike, say, Giga Drain, it doesn't drain HP – it drains attack, healing the user for an amount equal to the target's attack stat, while reducing the target's attack stat. The disadvantage to Strength Sap, of course, is that it does no damage. Its healing will also become less effective every time you use it, because the target's attack has already been lowered (although, if they're doing less damage to you as a result, you may not care). The advantage is that, at least on the first use of the move, you're likely to heal for substantially more than you would from Giga Drain – probably more than half of your own health – and the healing will not be affected by resistance to Grass attacks. Unless an attack can outright one-shot Shiinotic, the healing she gets from Strength Sap will scale with the power of anything attacking her physically, allowing her to mitigate an awful lot of damage while simultaneously weakening the aggressor, potentially forcing them to either change tack or switch out. If you try to string it out too long, you'll run into problems because Strength Sap will stop healing you once the target's attack bottoms out at -6 levels, and you'll eventually suffer a critical hit (which will ignore the attack reductions). However, it should at least give you plenty of time to cause havoc with your other moves, like Spore. Spore itself is as fantastic as ever – as with the other mushroom Pokémon, a 100% accurate sleep-inducing move is so powerful that there's really no good reason to use Shiinotic without it. In fact, having Spore is almost, but not quite, a good reason to use Dream Eater.
Aside from Strength Sap and Spore, Shiinotic has the usual gamut of support moves we expect from a Grass-type. Leech Seed is good for gradual healing and will encourage your opponents to switch out. Paralysis isn't essential on Shiinotic, because Spore is usually better, but if you want it, she actually gets Thunder Wave, which is more accurate than the Stun Spore available to most Grass-types. Shiinotic can learn other healing moves, most easily Moonlight, but unlike most support Pokémon she sort of doesn't need them; most of the time, Strength Sap will be quite enough. Ingrain is adorable and just bad. If you want Shiinotic to do something to support the team, Light Screen is on her list, and complements Strength Sap by slowing down special attackers. Finally, we should probably talk about Spotlight, since only four other Pokémon (Lanturn, Clefable, Spinda and Starmie) get it. It works a little like Follow Me, but instead of forcing opponents to target the user, Spotlight draws attacks towards a partner. This is inherently less useful, because Follow Me sacrifices your turn to buy time for your (presumably more frail) partner, while Spotlight sacrifices your turn to buy time for… yourself? It's potentially useful with a partner who does something when attacked, like Aegislash with King's Shield, but that's about it. You can also use Spotlight to focus fire on an opponent, but it can't redirect enemy attacks towards their own allies, only your own attacks… which you already choose targets for anyway. I'm pretty sure you can't even use Spotlight to override Follow Me, because it has a higher speed priority. So… what's the move even for? Answer: Battle Royals. In a free-for-all against three opponents, using Spotlight will force two of them to attack the third. This isn't game-winning, because the Battle Royal is scored according to how many Pokémon you, personally, knock out, but you can still manipulate your opponents in pretty powerful ways.
You might have noticed that Shiinotic's ability choices haven't come up yet, and that's because they're fairly grim. Illuminate increases the frequency of random encounters, but has no-in battle effect, so we can write that off immediately. Her hidden ability, Rain Dish, provides a little bit of extra healing every turn during rain. I'm not sure why you would use Shiinotic on a rain team, when there are so many Water-type tanks who stand to gain so much more from weather control, but you could. That leaves Effect Spore, which is one of those rubbishy little abilities that occasionally does something nice for you but is too unreliable to use meaningfully. Every time Shiinotic is hit by an attack that makes direct bodily contact, there is a 30% chance that her attacker will be struck by paralysis, poison, or sleep – chosen at random. Not all Pokémon will care about all three of those conditions, and they may actually interfere with Spore, one of Shiinotic's strongest features, but that's what we've got.
What I like best about Shiinotic from a mechanics perspective is probably that Strength Sap gives her a very unique style of fighting, revolving around her ability to slowly neutralise physical attackers while providing herself with ludicrous amounts of healing. She's severely held back, unfortunately, by painfully low speed, merely average defensive stats, and a small movepool even for a Grass-type, and sort of ends up comparing unfavourably to similar Grass-type support tanks… which makes it kind of a shame that Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon allow you to breed Strength Sap onto Jumpluff and Vileplume, who would arguably make better use of it… like, come on, Game Freak, at least give her one full generation of being special. Aesthetically there is arguably a bit of "just a mushroom" about her, but her eerie, kind of alien appearance feels to me like it knows what it's trying to be much better than Amoonguss does, I like that she works with the folkloric associations and unusual properties of real mushrooms, and Morelull hits a nice sweet spot between cute and utterly bizarre. It's kind of a wash for me, but there is a lot to like here (even aside from my heavy pro-Grass-type bias).

Lin Feng and Godly Ancestor Xing Yun came out of the great palace and flew into the sky.
However, when they arrived, nothing changed, especially in front of eight Godly Ancestors and hundreds of Great Supreme Gods. A dozen dragons were in the sky. Lin Feng and Godly Ancestor Xing Yun immediately felt suppressed.
Neither Lin Feng nor Godly Ancestor Xing Yun had thought such a thing would happen!
The eight Godly Ancestors who were there weren't like Godly Ancestor Zhan Ling. Lin Feng could feel that they were all at least as strong as Godly Ancestor Ju Ying, to the extent that Lin Feng even thought of Fu Hao, the Ancient Human Clan's leader in the Country of Eternity.
No matter what, Lin Feng knew that they were in trouble. The Ice Spirit was an extremely strong Genesis Primordial Spirit, but she couldn't compete against eight Godly Ancestors.
The Fire Spirit and the Ice Spirit might manage to kill eight Godly Ancestors like if they joined hands, but unfortunately, the Fire Spirit would never cooperate with the Ice Spirit; she had already been kind enough not to kill her. How could she possibly cooperate with her?
Lin Feng came to the front, which drew everybody's attention.
Lin Feng had been famous for only a day. Half of the World of Battles knew about him. Of course, only third-grade and second-grade influential groups cared about such things. Overlords couldn't care less about such stories.
Over a dozen Great Supreme Gods had been killed? If it had been over a dozen Godly Ancestors, then that fight would have drawn their attention, which was why only half of the World of Battles knew about him. It had still drawn a few ordinary Godly Ancestors and Great Supreme Gods' attention.
But the University of Stars and Clouds in Liang City was in trouble now!
"Lin Feng, how insolent! You dared kill people from the Spiritual Warriors Clan?! What made you feel that brave, eh?" demanded a tall and sturdy middle-aged man shouting out explosively. He wanted to humiliate Lin Feng, sneering at him.
The tall and sturdy man was a Godly Ancestor from Spiritual Warriors Clan, there regarding Godly Ancestor Zhan Ling's death.
Lin Feng glanced at him, but he didn't say anything. He looked at the seven other Godly Ancestors.
"What? I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?!" shouted the tall and sturdy man when he saw Lin Feng ignore him. Lin Feng felt great pressure from the man's powerful Qi.
"You're here to kill me, not to have a serious conversation. Saying something won't change anything, will it? Since saying something is useless, why would I need to talk to you? Will you spare my life if I reply? Or will you listen honestly and carefully?" Lin Feng said coldly. He didn't give the Spiritual Warrior clansman face at all.
The man looked more and more furious. He wanted to punch Lin Feng's head and make it explode.
"Little boy, watch your words! Your miserable life is in our hands!" shouted the tall and sturdy man explosively. He clenched his fists and imagined he was strangling Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked at him mockingly and didn't say anything. He regretted he had talked at all, because the man didn't understand anything. It was like he had spoken to a dog.
The tall and sturdy man noticed that Lin Feng was smiling in contempt. He was even more furious, and got ready to attack.
"Stop, Zhan Man, you're so old and you're still brutal and compulsive like when you were young?" shouted another tall and powerful man, pushing Zhan Man away. Lin Feng focused on the one who had just spoken; he was wearing white clothes and he had a small face, and looked rather noble-born.
He was slim, probably popular with women. Of course, some men probably liked him, too. Lin Feng studied him and saw that he had the strength of the Godly Ancestor layer as well… and he was much stronger than that Zhan Man.
"Zhan Qiao, that little boy killed our leader. He was our brother. Don't you want to avenge his death?"
Zhan Man didn't understand why Zhan Qiao didn't let him kill Lin Feng quickly.
Zhan Qiao was unmoved; he didn't think the same as Zhan Man.
"Your name is Lin Feng?" asked Zhan Qiao indifferently.
Lin Feng frowned and replied impatiently, "You're asking me something you already know? You have no other question to ask?"
"Hey, you little son of a bitch, you know I can crush you to mush in the blink of an eye?" shouted Zhan Man furiously, raising his fists again.
The six other Godly Ancestors scoffed at him. He was shameless, but they had no choice, they had to support him.
"Lin Feng, I think you don't understand what's going on right now?" said Zhan Qiao, still holding Zhan Man back as he looked at Lin Feng evenly. He had no patience after Lin Feng's first answer.
"Are you done talking shit? You're here because you want to settle accounts, right?
"I am indeed Lin Feng. I am here, and if you want to settle accounts, you know where to find me," Lin Feng declared fearlessly, sounding quite composed. Those people had come for him, he was there; he wasn't a coward, and he didn't intend to hide.
Zhan Qiao and Zhan Man were both from the Spiritual Warriors Clan, which meant that the six others were probably from the World Dragon Clan. Lin Feng could detect their dragon Qi.
"Hehe, how aggressive! If you hadn't offended us, you would have ended up in the List of the World of Battles someday. Unfortunately, we need to get rid of you. What a pity. You were too arrogant, too insane; if you don't deserve to die, who does?" said Zhan Qiao, sighing helplessly.
As if he really felt sad about Lin Feng's death! He was just acting. Lin Feng had known since the first time he had seen him that he was the kind of person who liked gloating over people's misfortune. Seeing people suffer made him rejoice!
They were all rejoicing. They were going to kill Lin Feng so that he wouldn't become a threat in the future. If they didn't kill him, within less than a hundred years, he would destroy the Spiritual Warriors Clan and the World Dragon Clan!
It would be catastrophe for them, so the best move was to get rid of him as quickly as possible!
"Enough! Stop talking shit! Let's dismember him!" shouted a mighty dragon's voice. The six Godly Ancestors of the World Dragon Clan all rocketed towards Lin Feng. Everything was just starting.
Lin Feng was standing there and looking at the sixth Godly Ancestors of the World Dragon Clan fly towards him at a speed which couldn't be described with words.
Behind them were twelve gigantic hundred-zhang-long World Dragons. Each dragon brandished its claws and bared its fangs. Their teeth were extremely sharp.
Lin Feng closed his eyes and waited for death to befall him!
"Haha! Come! You think we're afraid of you? Brother, I'm going to sacrifice my life for you! Haha! Hurry and leave, Brother! And don't try to avenge me! Run!"
Lin Feng heard a whistling sound. Right after that, he heard Godly Ancestor Xing Yun shout ferociously, and then he heard the sound of claws lacerating and cutting flesh.
Lin Feng's eyes opened wide, shocked.
"No! No! Brother!" shouted Lin Feng suddenly and explosively. His eyes were bloodshot. Godly Ancestor Xing Yun's corpse was hanging from a dragon's claws. One of its claws had pierced through his chest and blood kept gushing out.
Godly Ancestor Xing Yun's eyes were wide open and looking in his direction. His left hand was still moving, but it was because he was dead and his hanging loosely.
Lin Feng shook violently from head to toe, and started crying. He hadn't cried in a very long time, but he did now.
He cried for his brother. His brother who had died: Godly Ancestor Xing Yun!
It reminded him of Godly Emperor Blood, who had sacrificed himself to help Lin Feng break through to the Supreme God layer.
Now, Godly Ancestor Xing Yun had sacrificed his own life just for him? On top of that, his death was horrible, he had been stabbed by the claws of a dragon!
Lin Feng was downhearted.
Why? People he cared about all seemed to be doomed! Why?
"Why? AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! WHY?" shouted Lin Feng ferociously. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was covered in cold sweat. He clenched his fists, raised his head and looked at the skies, then he roared at the skies. His demon Qi rolled in waves around him. One couldn't see a single thread of Buddhist Qi in those energies.
Lin Feng looked like a demon ancestor at that moment, a demon ancestor everybody would fear!
Even the twenty dragons and the Godly Ancestors who were flying towards him looked startled.
"Don't hesitate! Kill him!" shouted a Godly Ancestor suddenly, furious and resolute.
The dragon which had impaled Godly Ancestor Xing Yun shook its leg and Godly Ancestor Xing Yun's corpse fell from the sky and crashed on the ground.
"BROTHERS, LET'S AVENGE OUR TEACHER'S DEATH!" shouted Di Shang and the others. They were going crazy, their eyes going bloodshot. They shot towards the World Dragons. Everybody seemed like they had lost their heads at that moment. Their only goal was to avenge Godly Ancestor Xing Yun's death!
"Piss off!" shouted Lin Feng. kicking them back to where they came from. How could he let them die? This fight had nothing to do with the disciples of the university.
Godly Ancestor Xing Yun had died because of him. Lin Feng would never forget that.
"I, Lin Feng, swear that I will kill you and your entire families to avenge Godly Ancestor Xing Yun's death. Just wait and you'll see! If I don't keep my promise, then may I be cursed by heaven and earth!" shouted Lin Feng. His hair and black robe fluttered in the wind as he raised his arms to the skies.
Boom boom boom!
Dark clouds appeared in the sky , rolling out ominously.
The six dragon Godly Ancestors, Zhan Qiao, and Zhan Man were about to attack.
If they didn't kill Lin Feng, they would regret it in the future. He would become too dangerous! They had to do it, for the future of their influential groups!
"Kill! Kill him!"

Babelsberg, Germany ~ May 6, 2010
My husband and I just returned home to Denmark from Germany after seeing your performance in Metropolis Halle, Babelsberg. It was not just another concert for me- it was THE concert and something very, very personal and special. I haven't seen you live since your 'famous tour' with Supertramp back in 1983 in Gentofte Stadium (Copenhagen) and after that I only saw Supertramp with Rick Davis once - because Supertramp never was 'complete' without you. We tried to order tickets in the first row to this show in Metropolis Halle already half a year ago, but unfortunately it wasn't possible so we saw the show from 7th. row - I would have given anything for a front row seat.... And then you entered the stage and asked: 'Are you ready' - and I can tell you that we were MORE than ready, and then you swept us off our feet with wonderful assistance from Aaron (he is absolutely great and a worthy replacement for John Anthony Helliwell). THANK YOU! LOVE YOU! ~ Anne N. Sløk

Alvin Lucier, the composer whose explorations of the physical properties of sound made him a significant figure in the US avant-garde, has died aged 90.
His daughter said the cause was complications after a fall, according to the New York Times. His ex-wife Mary Lucier wrote: "The great Alvin Lucier has died. Long live Alvin Lucier."
Born in New Hampshire in 1931, Lucier had a prestigious musical schooling, at Yale and then Brandeis universities, before heading to Rome on a Fulbright scholarship. His classical training was diversified after he saw a concert there in 1960, with John Cage, David Tudor and Merce Cunningham, who were exploring the creative possibilities of chance.
It helped to inform a highly progressive style of composition, with Lucier employing technology such as brain sensors and echolocation to generate sonic outputs. He explored the intensity of sound waves themselves and their placement alongside one another, and allowed the acoustics and architecture of performance space to inform his work.
Significant works include I Am Sitting in a Room (1969), a piece that begins with Lucier saying: "I am sitting in a room different from the one you are in now. I am recording the sound of my speaking voice and I am going to play it back into the room again and again until the resonant frequencies of the room reinforce themselves so that any semblance of my speech, with perhaps the exception of rhythm, is destroyed." A recording of the speech is then played back and re-recorded, with the process repeated until the words blur into those resonant frequencies.
Another celebrated piece is 1977's Music on a Long Thin Wire, where a wire is stretched across a space, with contact microphones and other equipment picking up vibrations and generating sound. Lucier left the near-sculptural setup alone after it was installed, including a five-day performance in an Albuquerque shopping centre. "Fatigue, air currents, heating and cooling, even human proximity could cause the wire to undergo enormous changes," he observed, which typified how his music was rooted in unpredictable shifts in the immediate environment.
He continued to compose work alongside teaching at Wesleyan University, whose faculty he joined in 1970.
These exploratory works were influential on leftfield music globally – contemporary musicians such as Holly Herndon, clipping, David Grubbs and Richard Youngs were among those paying tribute to Lucier on social media.
Lucier is survived by his daughter Amanda and wife Wendy Stokes.

Kozee Soundtracks Your Summer With Her 'Cali Poolside' EP
As of right now, I don't see myself hitting the Left Coast before the end of 2018, but with Kozee's Cali Poolside EP in rotation, I might not need to. On the low, Kozee's been on one, experimenting with a number of vibes and turning them into a unique stew all her own.
This EP blends the somber beauty of IDM melodies with back to the future drums and random snippets of sound, crafting some truly tech'd up poolside ditties. The first part of "Cali Poolside" highlights that sound swimmingly, and is perfect for the daytime, but if you want my fav, flip to part 2, which is more for the slow-and-low bae2bae nighttime zone.
Kozee's onto something; say you were on it sooner than later. Grab both tracks via Bandcamp.

"This was very fun. We had learned about fractions in school, and now we are using math. And chocolate chips. Yummy!" —Morgan, recipe tester, age 9
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 24-cup mini muffin tin well with vegetable oil spray (make sure to get inside each mini cup!).
In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Peel bananas and place in large bowl. Use large fork or potato masher to mash bananas until broken down but still chunky.
Add sugar, melted butter, yogurt, egg, and vanilla to bowl with bananas and whisk until combined.
Add flour mixture and chocolate chips and use rubber spatula to gently stir until just combined and no dry flour is visible. Batter should look thick and chunky—do not overmix.
Spray 1-tablespoon measuring spoon with vegetable oil spray. Use greased measuring spoon to scoop 1 heaping tablespoon batter into each muffin tin cup.
Place muffin tin in oven. Bake until muffins are golden brown and toothpick inserted in center of 1 muffin comes out clean, 13 to 15 minutes.
Use oven mitts to remove muffin tin from oven (ask an adult for help). Place muffin tin on cooling rack and let muffins cool in muffin tin for 15 minutes.
This recipe calls for very ripe bananas, which are sweeter and moister than underripe ones. To tell how ripe your banana is, look at the peel: If the peel looks greenish and feels a little hard, your banana is underripe. If it's bright yellow and a little bit soft, it's ripe (perfect for snacking!). And if it has black or brown spots and feels very soft, it's very ripe (great for baking). If you have too many very ripe bananas on hand, don't worry: freeze them to cook with later! Peel the bananas, place them in a zipper-lock bag, and put them in the freezer. Just thaw them before you bake.

By Admin. Updated 10:18 a.m., Thursday, October 29, 2020, Atlantic Standard Time (GMT-4).
Kingstown, St. Vincent (ONE NEWS SVG) – St. Vincent and the Grenadines will remain under a Flash Flood Warning until 6:00 a.m., on Friday, October 30, 2020.
Since about 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 29, the country has been experiencing heavy rainfall and storm-like winds caused by the presence of a Tropical Wave and an Upper-Level Trough in the area (Barbados and the Windward Islands).
The National Emergency Management Organization – NEMO, has reported blocked roads, due to fallen trees and landslides. House roofs in about 9 villages have also been damaged due to heavy wind.
Prolonged electricity outages have been experienced across the country, with areas on the north-eastern side of mainland, St. Vincent (Georgetown to Fancy) experiencing total blackouts for hours.
The Central Water and Sewage Authority has also urged customers to activate water storage plans and systems as all of its catchments have been affected by raging rivers.
Persons living in areas prone to flooding and landslides are asked to be extremely vigilant.
