What springs to your mind when you think of Australia? If it is crocs aplenty, inhospitable climates and staggeringly beautiful nature, then the Top End is definitely the most ‘Australian’ part of the country. Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory, is where most people begin their explorations of this area. Darwin is tiny, but is the biggest town/ city by far in the territory; which gives you an idea of just how sparse and rugged this area of Australia is.
The red centre (which includes Alice Springs and Uluru and is a lot further south in the Territory) is well worth visiting, but many of the Northern Territory’s best attractions are in the top end – not too far away from Darwin.
So whether you’re an Aussie, touring with your family or backpacking Australia, check out this guide for some of the best top end camping trips. If you’re interested in one of these weekend trips from Darwin, rent or purchase a campervan (I recommend checking out Gumtree for some fantastic deals!), pack it up with some road trip essentials, and visit these amazing spots in the top end!
Kakadu National Park – 2-3 days
One of the most famous and spectacular national parks in the country, the enourmous Kakadu is a must-visit. This UNESCO world heritage area is located around 3 hours east of Darwin and is home to Aboriginal art dating back over 20,000 years, out of this world landscapes, saltwater crocodiles and amazing swimming spots – just make sure that you don’t get the last two attractions mixed!
Kakadu is hot, and the best time to visit is just after the wet season. This time of year, the temperatures are bearable and the waterfalls are in full flow. There are lots of campsites, both paid-for and free, around Kakadu.
Litchfield National Park – 1-2 days
Kakadu’s little sister, Litchfield, can be done as a day trip from Darwin. It’s not quite as breathtaking as Kakadu, but it’s well worth visiting; it has more waterfalls than Darwin, and some great croc-free swimming spots.
There’s also the dramatic Lost City and lots of four-wheel drive tracks. It’s only an hour south of Darwin, and it is free to enter and explore. Of course, if you have the time, then it’s a great idea to camp at Litchfield. You’ll be able to take in all of the park and enjoy at is your leisure, which you will be thankful for in its heat! There are paid-for campsites near the national park, and free camping spots around the area.
Katherine – 2-3 days
One of the other major towns of the territory (a hilarious title considering its size!), Katherine encompasses both the town and Nitmiluk National Park. You could easily spend a couple of days exploring and camping in the national park, which is home to many gorges, including the sizable Nitmiluk Gorge (also known as Katherine Gorge), and the popular hiking spot and swimming hole Edith Falls.
There is also plenty to do in Katherine itself; visit the School of the Air to discover how children in remote communities are educated, check out some of the fascinating Aboriginal art galleries and laze around in the Katherine Hot Springs, situated a short drive out of town. A day can easily be spent just enjoying the town of Katherine and the unique culture that comes from hanging out on the edge of the Australian outback.
Mataranka – 1-2 days
A little further down the Stuart Highway, Mataranka is great for those who want a mini outback adventure without driving too far from Darwin. The tiny village was the inspiration for the book ‘We of the Never Never’ and is a great spot for fans, but it also packs a punch with natural wonders as well. The Mataranka Springs are popular with locals and passers through, and are a great way to cool off when driving through the heat of the Top End.
But my personal favourite are Bitter Springs – which not so many people know about. Surrounded by trees, these glittering blue springs look absolutely magical. You can get in at one end and let the water drift you to the other end, gazing at the beautiful surroundings as you go. And there are some great rocks to check out under the water too – so bring your snorkel! There are campsites in Mataranka, as well as free camp spots along the Stuart Highway on its approach.
Tennant Creek – 2-3 days
Down into the real outback is the tiny town of Tennant Creek. If you haven’t got the time or desire to drive all the way down to Alice Springs and the Red Centre but want to experience a slick of Territorian outback, Tennant Creek is a great stopping point.
Heading down the Stuart Highway, you can stop at Mataranka for a dip and spend the night at the famous Daly Waters Pub (a travellers’ hangout) before approaching Tennant Creek. It doesn’t seem like there is much going on in Tennant Creek on first arrival, but there is much more than meets the eye here.
Check out The Pebbles, a site of Aboriginal significance; learn about Tennant Creek’s rich mining history to discover exactly why a town was built here; check out the spectacular Barkly region on one of the many walking trails. There are also 4WD tracks, Indigenous art galleries and Lake Mary Ann which is the perfect spot for a dip.
Tips for camping in the top end
- Throughout this post, I’ve mentioned free camp spots and paid-for campsites. What’s the difference? I hear you ask. Paid-for campsites are what you expect – campsites that you pay a fee to use. They will include amenities like toilets, showers, a camp kitchen and maybe a pool (which is sometimes a must-have in the heat of this top end!).Free camp spots are, as the name suggests, free. They sometimes have a toilet, maybe feature a BBQ, and not much else. I wrote a post about free camping in Australia where you can read more about this budget accommodation solution!
- If you are using free camp spots, take care not to camp too close to any water. Saltwater crocodiles are rife in the top end, and they are merciless when it comes to their victims.It is better to be safe than sorry – so if you are unsure about any body of water, even if it is just a little creek, stay at least 50 metres away from it. If you are using paid-for campsites, this shouldn’t be an issue.
- You might have heard that spiders and snakes like to kick around in Australia. To avoid having one in your caravan or tent when you’re camping, make sure you always keep the doors closed. Most spiders and snakes aren’t aggressive, but you may be a long way from help so it definitely isn’t the ideal place to get bit!
- The top end is hot. The best time to do most of these trips is during the dry season; the coolest months are probably May, June and July. The exception to this is maybe Litchfield National Park, where the waterfalls are spectacular in the wet season.
- Even if you’re visiting in the depths of winter, chances are you’ll be very warm when sleeping! If you can invest in a battery-operated fan, your body thermometer will thank you.
- Mosquitoes are also a problem. There is no dengue or malaria in Australia, but they’re hella annoying. Don’t forget your DEET.
- Some of these trips include driving for a few hours in the outback. This will probably be completely unlike any other driving you have experienced and you’ll have to make sure you’re well prepared for it.The golden rules are take plenty of breaks, don’t drive at night, don’t think you can drive too much in one day and swap drivers more often than normal. Driving in the outback is an amazing experience, but it does come with its risks!
- Take way more water than you think you’ll need (I drank about six litres a day when exploring Kakadu in 40 degree heat), stock up with all the food you’ll need in Woolies before you go and make sure you have car essentials; oil, coolant, a spare tyre and a jack at the very least.

The country that I am going to introduce to you is The United Arab Emirates. It is a federation of the seven States ruled by Sheikh Khalifa Zayed Al Nahyan:
- Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE and is the largest emirate by area, and second largest by population after Dubai; accounting for approximately 86% of the total land of the UAE. Its emir is Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
It is known for its highest share of oil production and economic decisions.
- Dubai is regarded as the Centre of finance, commerce and tourism. Today, Dubai has emerged as a cosmopolitan metropolis that has grown steadily to become a global city and a business and cultural hub of the Middle East and the Persian Gulf region. As of 2012, Dubai is the 22nd most…show more content… The United Arab Emirates is essentially a civil law jurisdiction heavily influenced by French, Roman, Egyptian and Islamic law. Common law principles, such as adopting previous court judgments as legal precedents, are generally not recognized . Only local firms may appear as counsel before a court. As the UAE has established itself as a regional hub for international business, arbitration is gradually becoming a popular method of dispute resolution. As the civil rights, traditional and modern forms of government coexist and supplement each other. Although political leaders in the emirates are not elected, citizens may express their concerns directly to their leaders via traditional mechanisms, such as the open majlis, or informal assembly.
There are several core principles of Sharia which apply to business transactions and which have influenced the development of commercial codes that apply in the UAE. Although these concepts don 't directly translate into commercial codes (although they may do in Islamic finance), they have exerted an influence over the drafting and interpretation of these laws.
The constitution of UAE describes five federal institutions. These are the Federal Supreme Council (FSC-executive), the President of the Union and the vice president, the Council of Ministers of the Union, the Federal National Council (FNC-legislative), and the Judiciary of the Union.

Old-Time Recipes for Home Made Wines Cordials & Liqueurs 1909 by Helen S. Wright
Turn five quarts of water on six ounces of hops; boil three hours. Strain off the liquor; turn on four quarts more of water, and twelve spoonfuls of ginger, and boil the hops three hours longer. Strain and mix it with the other liquor, and stir in two quarts of molasses. Brown, very dry, one-half pound of bread, and put in, — rusked bread is best. Pound it fine, and brown it in a pot, like coffee. After cooling to be about luke-warm, add one pint of new yeast that is free from salt. Keep the beer covered, in a temperate situation, till fermentation has ceased, which is known by the settling of the froth; then turn it into a keg or bottles, and keep it in a cool place.
Old-Time Recipes for Home Made Wines is a cookbook for those who want to make their own wines & liqueurs from available ingredients, including fruits, flowers, vegetables, & shrubs from local gardens, farms, & orchards. It includes ingredients & instructions for making & fermenting spirits, from wine & ale to sherry, brandy, cordials, & even beer.

|Title: ||The feeding value of cassava in commercial poultry diets|
|Authors: ||Ahadze, King Yaw|
|Issue Date: ||5-Feb-2000|
|Series/Report no.: ||2812;|
|Abstract: ||Studies were conducted to determine the effect of cassava inclusion in broiler and layer diets on growth and laying performance, respectively. In the broiler studies, 600 2-week old unsexed chicks from each of four selected farms were randomly allocated to three dietary treatments, namely: T1 — control or the farmer’s own diet, i.e. the normal diet used in the respective farms, T2 — which contained milled cassava mixed with palm oil and T3 - milled cassava with no palm oil. The birds were fed a broiler grower diet from 2 to 6 weeks of age and a finisher diet, 6 to 8 weeks of age. The amount of cassava included in the diets were 150g kg-1 between weeks 3 and 4, 250g kg-1 between 4 and 6 and 300g kg’ during the 7th and 8th weeks. The parameters measured in the broiler trial included mean daily weight gain, mean daily feed intake, feed: gain ratio, feed cost, mortality, and carcass (dressing percentage).
Similarly, in the layer feeding trial 720 pullets at the point of lay from each of the four farms were randomly allocated to three dietary treatments as in the broiler trial, with cassava replacing 150g kg-1 diet. Diets were formulated to contain between 160-l70g CP kg and metabolisable energy value of 12.5 MJkg-1. A completely randomised design was used and each treatment was replicated two times on the four farms (E, F, G and H). In the layer trial, the following parameters were studied: feed intake, feed gain ratio, mortality, hen-day production, hen-housed production, egg weight, shell thickness, internal quality of eggs and feed cost.
In the broiler feeding trial, birds fed on diets containing cassava with oil and without oil at 250g kg-1 substitution of maize from weeks 4 to 6 registered significantly (P<0.05) lower weight gains compared to those fed on maize diet. Feed efficiency, during 2 to 4 and 4 to 6 weeks of age, by cassava inclusion in the diets of broilers were also significantly (P<0.05) affected by decreasing the conversion efficiency of the broiler birds fed on the cassava based diets. However, the overall feed intake, weight gain and feed efficiency were not significantly (P>0.05) affected by the various dietary treatments. The inclusion of cassava in the broiler diets, significantly (P<0.05) increased the fat pad and also brought about corresponding decrease in the protein content of the broiler meat. Feed costs were lower for cassava-based diets. This represented 9% reduction in broiler feed cost compared with the feed cost of the maize based diet. However, feed costs per kilogram live weight gain were unaffected by dietary treatments.
In the laying trial, there was no significant impact on egg production with the inclusion of cassava in diets. The average number of days taken by birds to reach 5% egg production was similar for all experimental birds. Egg quality and feed conversion were unaffected (P>0.05). Feed cost, however, was lower for the cassava-based diets, representing 6.19% and 7.03% savings on feed cost for diets containing cassava plus oil and without oil respectively. Mortality values registered in both the broiler and layer studies were rather variable and showed no trends that could be attributed to the inclusion of cassava in the diet.|

Roasted Honeynut Squash and Kale Pizza made with Food 52’s pizza crust. So incredibly delicious! I promise you, if you like butternut squash, you will love this pizza. Hope you try it! It’s perfect for fall!
Have you had a honeynut squash before? They are sweet and nutty and besides being packed with more flavor than traditional butternut squash, the tiny Honeynut squash has more nutrients; it’s estimated that a single serving has twice the beta-carotene of an equal amount of butternut squash. The Honeynut is also a good source of vitamin A!
“At first glance, Honeynut squash just looks like a shrunken butternut squash. But it’s more than that—the sweet, petite squash has only been in existence for less than a decade and didn’t show up in farmers’ markets until two years ago!! Now its being grown at 90 percent of Northeast squash farms, with no signs of slowing down.”
If I remember correctly, I first discovered these guys last year at Trader Joe’s. They are delicious and flavorful and just a little sweeter than butternut squash. Although, sometimes they taste the same to me.
I picked these up from my local Farmers Market and went to work. I personally love roasted vegetables on pizza so I knew this had to happen.
Roasted Honeynut Squash and Kale Pizza
If you know me, you know my love for roasted vegetables and this pizza. I’ve made it a few times (cough . . understatement) since April. Click here to see my Zucchini Ribbon Pizza. And with shaved asparagus.
I made the dough, roasted the honeynut squash and went to work!
Artichoke and Olive Pizza
- 11" cast iron skillet (recommended)
- pizza dough from Food 52's recipe
- 1 1/4 cups low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup black or Kalamata olives sliced
- 5 to 6 marinated artichoke hearts* quartered
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed hot pepper flakes
- To make the pizza dough, follow the recipe from Food 52 (linked above).
- About 30 minutes before baking, place one rack at the bottom of the oven and one toward the top (about 4 to 5 inches from the top heating element). Pre-heat the oven to 450°F.
- When you’re ready to bake the pizza, sprinkle about three-quarters of the mozzarella (about 1 cup) evenly over the pizza dough. "Cover the entire crust, no bare dough showing—this will yield caramelized edges."
- Carefully sprinkle the black olives over the top of the pizza, spread out and place evenly over the top. Next, place about 5 marinated artichoke hearts (quartered) on top, spacing them apart. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella over the top. Sprinkle the hot pepper flakes over the top.
- Bake the pizza on the bottom rack of the oven for about 18 to 20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and the bottom and edges of the crust are a rich golden brown.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and place the pan on a heatproof surface. Carefully run a table knife or spatula between the edge of the pizza and side of the pan and bottom, to prevent the cheese and crust from sticking as it cools. Let the pizza cool very briefly, then as soon as you feel comfortable doing so, carefully transfer it from the pan to a cooling rack or cutting surface. This will prevent the crust from becoming soggy. I find that removing the pizza from the cast iron skillet, about 5 minutes after you have removed from the oven, works best. If you wait too long, it's harder to remove from the skillet.
- Slice the pizza and enjoy! I don't show this in the photos, but this pizza is also super delicious with fresh arugula on top and some balsamic glaze over the top! So good!

Theresa May Backs Land Confiscation Of South African Farmers If Done "Legally"
Theresa May today danced on the graves of thousands of Boer farmers and their families murdered in the ongoing campaign to force them off their land and out of existence in the country their forefathers built from nothing.
The Conservative leader has given perhaps the most shocking display of public support for discrimination ever by a UK Premier. Not just by her actions, but also by her endorsement of the blatantly racist plans of the Communist ANC regime to steal the land from Boer farmers and hand it over to their cronies.
“I welcome the comments that President Ramaphosa has already made, bearing in mind the economic and social aspects of it. I think he’s made some comments that it won’t be a smash and grab approach. I think there’s an opportunity to unlock investment.”
Ramaphosa’s real agenda is a matter of public record. For a supposedly Conservative British Prime Minister to support and fraternise with such a racist bigot in a key Commonwealth country is utterly shameful and should never be forgotten.
IN HIS MEMOIRS, POLITICAL VETERAN MARIO ORIANI-AMBROSINI WROTE WHAT RAMAPHOSA CONFIDED TO HIM IN A PRIVATE CONVERSATION IN THE EARLY 1990S, DURING THE NEGOTIATIONS FOR A NEW SOUTH AFRICAN CONSTITUTION: IN HIS BRUTAL HONESTY, RAMAPHOSA TOLD ME OF THE ANC’S 25-YEAR STRATEGY TO DEAL WITH THE WHITES: IT WOULD BE LIKE BOILING A FROG ALIVE, WHICH IS DONE BY RAISING THE TEMPERATURE VERY SLOWLY. BEING COLD-BLOODED, THE FROG DOES NOT NOTICE THE SLOW TEMPERATURE INCREASE, BUT IF THE TEMPERATURE IS RAISED SUDDENLY, THE FROG WILL JUMP OUT OF THE WATER. HE MEANT THAT THE BLACK MAJORITY WOULD PASS LAWS TRANSFERRING WEALTH, LAND, AND ECONOMIC POWER FROM WHITE TO BLACK SLOWLY AND INCREMENTALLY, UNTIL THE WHITES LOST ALL THEY HAD GAINED IN SOUTH AFRICA, BUT WITHOUT TAKING TOO MUCH FROM THEM AT ANY GIVEN TIME TO CAUSE THEM TO REBEL OR FIGHT.
Source: Kill the Boer by Ernst Roets.
By giving support and credibility to the Communist regime and its plan to dispossess the Boers of the land, May is not only co-signing the economic death warrant of South Africa, she also makes herself an accessory to the full-on persecution and dispossession of the Boers which is now so ominously close. Shame! Shame! Shame!

If you planted your chili peppers early enough, you should have them in the ground by now.
In fact, you may see the fruits of your labor already. Newbies to chili growing will have just a few plants and it’s possible they’ll get through all their peppers before they go bad. But, if you have a large crop of chili plants, you’ll need to figure out how you’ll make the most of your chili peppers.
Preserving Chili Peppers
You can do a lot with a small crop of chili peppers. It’s not just about having them on hand to chop and cook as you please. Hot sauces and dried peppers extend the life of these fruits, but not indefinitely. The same goes for freezing, canning or pickling. Each one of these methods requires some level of work – and do-overs are difficult, if not impossible. You’ll need to pick your preferred means of preservation as you pick your peppers so you can make the most of them.
- Hot Sauces – If you’ve got a good DIY hot sauce recipe, you may just want to transform your crop into a few bottles of hot sauce. While these do make excellent gifts for friends and family, they just won’t last forever. And, homemade hot sauces don’t last as long as commercially-produced sauces with preservatives. If you have an excessively large number of pepper plants, you’re probably going to want to make at least a few bottles.
- Freezing – This is one of the easiest methods of preserving your chili peppers. Pop them on a baking sheet and into the freezer. You don’t want them touching until they’re completely frozen, but then you can bag chilies together in small packets to thaw and use anytime you like. The catch? You’ll be freezing and repeating this action for a while unless you have a lot of freezer space where your peppers will freeze without touching.
- Drying – If you tend to cook soups, stews, and curries throughout the winter, you’ll probably find dried peppers are more useful than defrosted ones. There are a couple of ways to dry chilies so you can store them in jars for later use. The easiest is probably the low-temperature oven method, but you could always hang chili peppers to dry using traditional techniques. You could always chop them for pepper flakes too, but you’ll probably have exhausted yourself drying them.
- Pickling – Several glass bottles and a vinegar brine (perhaps with a few herbs) is what you’ll need if you want to pickle your peppers. The chilies will keep for quite some time using this preservation method, but you will be limited in how you use them as the brine will seep into the chilies and change the way they taste.
- Canning – No really, you may be interested in home canning your chili peppers. This offers a lot of flexibility in how they can be prepared later and they’ll keep for a very long time. But, canning is a complicated process. You’ll need to put a lot of time and some resources into it. That said, it could be the thing that transforms your life.
Which Method Works Best?
Each and every means of prolonging the life of your chili peppers is a good one. You’ll need to make decisions based on how you want to use your chili peppers later. And, unless you only ever eat chilies in a particular dish or way, you’ll probably consider a range of preservation methods.
And, the best time to make that decision might just be now… while your chilies are still growing. It’ll give you an idea when you want to harvest – and how many peppers to pick on any given day. Whatever you do, don’t let those peppers go to waste; no one wants that!

There were a couple of things that excited me about this movie. First of all, it is directed by Drake Doremus, whose last movie, ‘Like Crazy,’ I loved. (He even dedicates this movie ‘For Anton,’ presumably because he starred in that movie) Second, this stars Nicholas Hoult, who is one of my favorite young actors working today. And, this film has been dubbed as the ‘Tindr movie,’ because the whole premise is about a couple who meets on a similar dating app (It’s called Winx in the film) and how that affects and changes dating and relationships in this day and age.
The answer is that, of course, it is a different world out there and at the same time the core values of what we want from a relationship really define how successful it will be. I thought this was a very interesting film, and what it has to say really depends on how you view relationships. It is anchored by realistic performances by Hoult and Laia Costa. But it goes on a bit too long, and at times the film feels like friends of yours who can never decide about their relationships, and the constant are-they-on or are-they-off tugs feel tiresome after a while. But, like it or not, this film shows how the world is today, and explores how we find love and how we keep them.
Sometimes, a film surprises you. In the best possible way. I didn’t see this film because for some reason I thought this had a sci-fi angle but this is exactly the kind of popcorn romantic drama I crave. This is ‘The Boy In The Plastic Bubble’ but more than that this is ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ with all the non-subtleties: She wears all while, he wear all black. There’s even two rooms across from each other, and she even has a nurse.
And even as I acknowledge big holes in the story, I will also be the first person to say that the story, the characters got me hook, line, and sinker.
And it’s all because of the actors who play the lovers – Madeline, as played by Amanda Stenberg and Nick Robinson as Ollie. They are two charming actors who bring a lot of charm to their roles. I always say even the most clíched characters if played by great actors will be believable. I believed. There are details in the end that will make you roll eyes but at that point you will probably too invested with these characters, and you will just go along.
If you are a hopeless romantic, like myself, this will make you remember your first love. Like what Madeline writes in the film: Love is Everything.
Finally, a love story. That’s what I said when I started watching ‘Already Tomorrow In Hong Kong,’ starring real-life couple Bryan Greenberg and Emily Chang. Directed by Emily Teng, this movie is basically a formula – two people meet and have a connection, but…( You know the drill.) This has been done before, most famously in Richard Linklater’s ‘Before’ series starring Ethan Hawke and Julia Delpy. This film borrows from that, but with a global twist. What would make the film really work will depend upon the chemistry of the two leads. Thankfully, Greenberg and Chung here have great easy breezy chemistry. Just look at the way they look at each other, particularly Greenberg. He has this look of love and lust on his face, and at any second he seems like he is ready to devour her. Chung has a cool chick vibe, but you can see that underneath it all she is vulnerable and smitten. Yes, I do wish that the script had a little more depth, so we could have gotten to know the characters a wee bit more. But I did not feel shortchanged at all – their passion with and for each other showed. I have mixed feelings about the ending, though. On one hand, they probably thought it was brave of them to have a non-resolution, but it just felt gimmicky, and one that has already been done numerous times. I have to say, though, hat I never thought Hong Kong to be a romantic city, but there it is here, they made the city look like it would be full of romantic possibilities (and why not indeed) If you have room in your heart for romance, try this one for size – it even serves a side of dim sum. Yum!
“Carol” opens as Carol Aird (Cate Blanchette) meets Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara) while shopping for a doll for her daughter. It’s a random kind of moment, and this film is much too serious for a “meet-cute” scene. But you know there’s more to the meeting, because as Carol looks away, she looks back at Therese, and Therese catches her eye. The look back test – there’s nothing more dangerous, more passionate than that. It’s a prelude to love, and you better believe it.
But this is still the 50s, and loving someone of the same sex is frowned upon, and we see Carol and Therese do a cautious dance, until they eventually go to lunch, and fall in love. Todd Haynes, the director, does this is a very slow manner and I have to confess I thought the pace was deadly slow. But this is a melodrama, and like a Douglas Sirk outing, we get the dramatic complications: Carol’s husband won’t let her go, and uses their daughter as a pawn – there’s even a private detective scene that is kind of corny by today’s standards. Blanchette and Mara give quiet integrity to their roles that you don’t care – you just take it, and everything is instantly believable. If I had to take a pick between the two performances, I will pick Mara’s : it’s Hepburn-esque and more subtle than Blanchette’s more showy performance. But what I find most magnificent about this movie is that it accurately shows that feeling of being in love, as very few movies nowadays are able to convey that. This is love with a Capital L : it’s soaring, it’s deep, it hits you square in your chest. If you have ever been in love (I mean, let’s face it, we all have) you will find yourself identifying with what these characters are feeling.
Didn’t I just enjoy a Katherine Heigl film (Jenny’s Wedding) and now here she is again on “Jackie And Ryan,” and she is giving another enjoyable performance. In this movie, she plays Jackie, a former recording artist, who, because of an ongoing divorce battle, is now living in Ogden Utah. She meets Ryan, a member of that community of musicians who travel from city to city, carrying their lives in a bag. The movie is a sweet little love story, and sometimes that is all you need. Gorgeous folk music (by Nick Hans) permeates the film, giving it tone and mood that frames their story. Ben Barnes, as Ryan, is fantastic, carrying this mood with him, and infusing it with charm. Director Ami Cannan Mann may or may not be invoking the movie ‘Once” but for better or worse, this film mirror’s that movie’s vibe.
Imagine if Woody Allen today were still writing love stories. What you would get would be very similar to “5 to 7.” This is a movie that was made for someone like me – it tells of a love story that any other person would think would be doomed from the start: a young man gets infatuated with an older married French woman. When she first meets him, she says she is only available to meet from 5 to 7 pm, which is a code for her wanting just an affair. he is hesitant at first, but acquiesces to the set up, and the rules. This film captures that feeling when someone just falls in love, and throws caution to the wind, and just dives in that pool, not caring, not thinking five steps ahead. You know you are going to be hurt, you can practically taste the hurt, but still, nothing compares to the euphoria of being in love. We have all been there. It wouldn’t take a genius to tell where this love story is headed, but it gets there so beautifully, in a poetic, romantic, heady kind of way. I was enchanted, I felt ever single scene of this movie. Anton Yelchin, as Brian, will make you remember that feelingof love, and he engages you in his love instantly. This is also for me, a New York film. the city and its inhabitants are a separate character here. It made me miss it, it made me want to fly right now and sit t a bench by Central Park. I can’t remember the last time a film really touched me, and I hope this film means as much to you. Please see it.
Love stories – they all are basically one and the same, aren’t they? The joy in reading about them is how one gets to a point and overcome obstacles. Darien Cox gives little details that make “Guys On Top” more enjoyable than your run-of-the-mill MM romance,he sets up the Boston suburb pretty vividly, but I am still a little turned off by the gratuitous sex scenes – this is just me, by the by, because I know most people enjoy that. More emotions and less physicality for me, please!

© 2020 Elsevier B.V. Transportation infrastructure (TI) plays a critical role in China's economic growth, but its negative impacts on the environment have not been sufficiently addressed by the government. While studies of TI's impact on air pollution exist, there are few studies examining its impact on industrial pollution. This paper fills this gap by using the Spatial Durbin Model and balanced panel data from 280 of China's cities spanning 2003 to 2015. The results show that TI, represented by urban roads, aggravates the cities' industrial SO2 emissions, industrial soot (dust) emissions, and industrial wastewater over the long run. The channel analysis further shows that TI influences industrial pollution through industrial agglomeration, but not urbanization. TI has no direct effect on the industrial pollution of neighboring cities but does influence neighboring cities' industrial pollution through the spatial spillover effects of industrial agglomeration. Provincial policymakers and city planners should together pay more attention to the role of industrial agglomeration when designing economic policies to manage the negative effects of TI on the environment, and through cross-city cooperation develop means to reduce these effects.

Pixar’s first-ever short film featuring Filipino characters has been nominated in this year’s Peabody Awards.
Filipino American storyboard artist Bobby Alcid Rubio took to social media to share that his seven-minute short, “Float,” is one of the nominees in the award ceremony’s entertainment category.
“So honored to have @Pixar #PixarFloat to be nominated for the #PeabodyAwards. I am grateful that our #SparkShorts #ShortFilm about Acceptance and Celebration of our Differences is being recognized. I share this achievement with my wonderful producer, Krissy Cababa @cababapalooza, my amazing crew #TeamFloat and the entire Pixar Family!” Rubio wrote in an Instagram post on Thursday, May 7.
The organization on Wednesday revealed this year’s 60 nominees, chosen by a board of 19 jurors from nearly 1,300 entries, for the most compelling and empowering stories released in broadcasting and digital media during 2019.
“Float,” written and directed by Rubio and produced by fellow Fil-Am Krissy Cababa, tells the story of a father trying to keep his infant son’s special ability to fly a secret.
The animated short is based on Rubio’s relationship with his son Alex, who is on the autism spectrum. He submitted it to Pixar’s SparkShorts, an immersive storytelling program that gives studio employees six months and a budget to develop animated short films.
“I’m a storyteller at heart. I was thinking of doing this story about my son and me…I’ve been holding onto this story for eight years and I finally felt like it was time to tell it,” he told the Asian Journal in an interview last year.
The short was screened at El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood last October before it made its Disney+ debut a month later when the streaming platform was unveiled.
Rubio has worked as a traditional artist and storyboard artist on films like “Pocahontas,” “Tarzan,” and “Treasure Planet.” He was also an assistant director and storyboard artist for “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” before moving to Pixar, where he has worked on “Up” and has since included “Brave,” “Monsters University,” “Inside Out” and most recently, “Incredibles 2” and “Toy Story 4.”
“At the end of the day, [‘Float’] is about the bond between father and son. It’s about unconditional love, especially amongst family members and amongst everybody. I want that to be the end thing that people get. It’s about love and acceptance and hopefully, that will resonate,” Rubio said in his Asian Journal interview.
“Float” is up against shows, such as “Chernobyl,” “Stranger Things,” “Succession,” “Fleabag,” and “Watchmen.” Apple TV+’s original comedy series starring actress Hailee Steinfeld — who is of Filipina descent — also garnered a nomination in the category.
“Float” and “Dickinson” mark the first Peabody Awards nominations for Disney+ and Apple TV+, respectively, since the two streaming platforms debuted last year.
“Peabody is proud to champion this year’s nominees who inspire our connection, provoke our thinking and delight our senses. From the communal strength of black women to the eminence of science to the conviction of those who speak up, these stories and their creators celebrate the diversity of human experience and of our democracy,” Peabody Executive Director Jeffrey P. Jones said in a statement.
“Amidst the challenges of our present moment, we can find empathy, entertainment and truth in these nominees,” he added.

Iranian economy 101
NEVŞİN MENGÜTo achieve its target of 8 percent GDP growth, Iran needs 30 billion to 50 billion dollars of foreign investment every year. That is what Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on state TV in the wake of “Implementation Day.” With oil prices descending, the advent of shale gas and the United States becoming self-sufficient in natural gas for the foreseeable future, Iran might be losing its energy card as an advantage.
Obviously it is not feasible for Iran to remain a conservative and closed economy. “The Iranian market will change, open up to foreign investment and provide a win-win atmosphere for all parties – the Iranian state and foreign investors.” But will this really be the case? I doubt it.
Given that it is a closed system, with unique institutions of its own, investors might need an “Introduction to Iran 101.” First of all, every rule is not on paper in Iran; actually, not much is on paper. Iran does have a written constitution and a set of rules and regulations that includes a mixture of sharia and modern law.
For Turkish investors, Iran is not an unknown, alien market; Turkish firms have had pleasant and bitter experiences there.
Iran’s biggest international airport, Imam Khomeini, was finally constructed in 2005 after a relatively long hiatus after the revolution. The airport was supposed to be operated by the Turkish firm TAV.
But just prior to the opening, two local airlines refused to switch to the new airport. The economic daily Hayat-e No quoted Ali Abedzadeh, director of the semi-private Iran Aseman Airlines, as saying, “We are not flying from an airport run by foreigners.” TAV officials were ordered to withdraw their personnel and equipment from there and operations were handed over to Iran Air.
There was a brief opening ceremony, but no plane landed at the airport as planned. Turkish Transport Minister Binalı Yıldırım was there with Turkish journalists, and Mohammed Khatami, Iran’s president at the time, was supposed to make a long speech during the ceremony, but he decided to escape the opening ceremony out of embarrassment.
Apparently, the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) decided TAV somehow had ties with Israel, so they decided to oust the company.
Also, there is the famous Oriflame case. Cosmetic firm Oriflame was one of the few foreign cosmetic firms that was allowed to operate in Iran. Since there are not many alternatives, other than low-quality Iranian brands, you used to see long queues of women in front of the Oriflame shop in northern Tehran nearly every morning. But despite any particular reason, three members of the staff and two sales consultants were detained one day. State radio reported that the company had violated tax regulations and customs law and operated an illegal marketing scheme. An Iranian newspaper, Kayhan, accused the company of supporting opposition members in Iran. Kayhan is close to the supreme leader’s office, so what is written in Kayhan can be perceived as a semi-official statement.
Oriflame’s chief financial officer, Gabriel Bennett, rejected the allegations. But soon after, the company decided to leave Iran.
As a virgin market with so much potential, the Iranian market might be tempting, but it will not be an easy market even without the sanctions.
The official slogan of the regime has been “Death to America;” it’s not just a hollow slogan, but one that is cheered every few days in the Iranian parliament. The regime has been gaining its strength from crude xenophobia. It is the norm to not trust foreigners and keep contacts at the minimum level. This is what has been taught from the beginning of the 1980s and will not be something that will change very quickly.
Also, to ensure an open market, Iranian trade law will have to change from top to bottom. The existing system is set to protect Iranian state firms – not even private ones.
Khatam al-Anbiyah will be the key word every enthusiast for the Iranian market should memorize. From energy to construction, Khatam al-Anbiya is the champion in every single sector. The holding has more than 812 registered companies inside and outside Iran and a workforce of 25,000 engineers and staff. Ten percent of the employees are IRGC members, while the rest are contractors.
For an open market that can operate with foreign investors in healthy conditions, the supreme leader will absolutely have to limit the economic activities of the IRGC.
Whether he or his successors will be able to do so is another question.

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* server, researchers in Germany investigated the effectiveness of the antibiotic nitroxoline against the currently circulating mpox viruses, previously called monkeypox virus (MPXV). This antibiotic has been used in Europe for about fifty years and has been proven effective in fighting biofilm infections.
Study: Repurposing of the antibiotic nitroxoline for the treatment of mpox. Image Credit: Dotted Yeti / Shutterstock
Currently, mpox clade IIB is spreading globally through sustained human-to-human transmission outside its endemic region, Southern Africa. As a result, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the 2022 mpox outbreak a public health emergency in July 2022.
Around 10% of mpox patients seek hospitalization for treatment of pain and bacterial superinfections. The current mpox outbreak has a unique clinical presentation, and there is no evidence of which drugs are clinically effective against it. However, clinicians are using three antiviral drugs, brincidofovir, cidofovir, and tecovirimat, for their treatment. Unfortunately, Brincidofovir and cidofovir produce toxic side effects. Likewise, tecovirimat availability is limited and affected by resistance formation. Indeed, there is an urgent need for additional and more effective drugs for mpox disease treatment.
About the study
In the present study, researchers investigated whether nitroxoline, 8-hydroxyquinoline-derivative, currently used as the first-line drug therapy for urinary tract infections, could effectively combat mpox viruses. Specifically, they studied the effects of nitroxoline on the 12 mpox virus isolates, especially their replication activity, in a skin explant model.
The researchers chose this antibiotic drug as a repurposing candidate because it is known to inhibit two signaling pathways [e.g., mechanistic Target of Rapamycin (mTOR)], which are critically involved in orthopoxvirus replication. Moreover, it displays a favorable safety profile and exceptional activity against Gram-negative bacteria and fungi.
First, the team cultured primary human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF) and primary human foreskin keratinocytes (HFK) infected with 106 median tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) per ml of MPXV1 per well of 500 µL. Next, they observed these cultures treated with nitroxoline for 48 hours. Finally, the team used immunohistochemical (IHC) staining to detect virus infection in the skin tissue. Furthermore, the researchers examined the effects of nine nitroxoline analogs for anti-mpox virus activity in HFF.
IHC staining showed that nitroxoline inhibited mpox viral isolates in both skin cultures, albeit in a dose-dependent fashion. Accordingly, IC50, the antibiotic concentration that inhibited mpox virus infection by 50%, ranged between 2.4 and 4.6 µM in HFF and 0.5 and 1.5 µM in HFK, respectively.
Interestingly, time-of-addition experiments showed that nitroxoline inhibited mpox virus infection similarly when added two hours post-infection and simultaneously with the mpox virus. It indicated that it interfered with the mpox virus replication cycle post-viral entry. Basically, it only reduced virus titers when added after the virus absorption that occurred in two hours time window. Experiments with split-thickness human skin grafts showed that 10µM of nitroxoline treatment reduced the number of mpox-infected cells substantially.
Of all nine nitroxoline analogs, compounds 1, 7, and 9 displayed a comparable not superior antiviral activity as nitroxoline. These three harbored halogen ions and a hydroxy group at positions 5, 8, and 9, respectively. Notably, compound 9, a clioquinol, is also under clinical investigation as a treatment for skin infections.
Further, nitroxoline showed potent activity against sexually transmitted bacteria, such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Escherichia coli (E. coli), frequently co-transmitting with the mpox virus, which could aggravate the current mpox outbreak. It also inhibited infections by two herpes viruses (HPV), HPV type 1 and varicella-zoster virus, frequently detected with mpox virus, but at >10µM concentrations, higher than what is needed to block mpox virus infection.
Furthermore, the researchers established a tecovirimat-resistant mpox virus strain, MPXV1r TECO. It was also sensitive to nitroxoline at therapeutically achievable concentrations. In contrast, they could not develop a nitroxoline-resistant mpox virus strain using the same approach, thus, indicating that drugs directly targeting virus proteins are not associated with reduced resistance formation.
Overall, nitroxoline effectively inhibited the replication of 12 mpox virus isolates from the current mpox outbreak, with IC50s between 0.5 and 4.6µM but well within the range of therapeutic plasma levels. Nitroxoline also exhibited additive antiviral effects with tecovirimat and synergistic effects with brincidofovir. Notably, its antiviral and antibacterial mechanisms of action differed substantially. For instance, it exerted its antibacterial effects by chelating metal ions, such as Fe2+ and Mn2+.
To conclude, nitroxoline is a good repurposing candidate for mpox disease treatment and might also help control and prevent future global outbreaks. Further research could unravel nitroxoline analogs with a higher anti-mpox virus activity than nitroxoline.
bioRxiv publishes preliminary scientific reports that are not peer-reviewed and, therefore, should not be regarded as conclusive, guide clinical practice/health-related behavior, or treated as established information.

i have three songs to learn for a musical theater audition on saturday. when i got stuck and couldn't find anyone to plunk out a particular melody for me, i called a blactress and thanks to her, i reconnected with a pianist who had my back when i found myself lost somewhere inbetween an audition and a callback a few months ago. he's a nice midwestern white boy from kansas city who lives a few blocks away from me. and that's exactly where our story would end -- in kansas city where he's visiting his folks until monday -- if it weren't for his quick thinking. a flurry of emails ensued and ka-BOOM -- i've got mp3s of the melody and the chords without the melody, so i can sing along to it and practice. unfortunately, i won't be able to go into that room with a pianist but i will go in ready. you really can't get much better than that.
is this guy a gem or what.
i don't feel bad when i don't get the gig. i feel bad if i did a lousy audition and i don't get the gig. usually, there's at least a million reasons for not getting the gig and hardly any of them have anything to do with talent. but that's really difficult to explain to people who have these weird ideas about what it takes to make it in the entertainment industry because they watch way too much pop tv and they think that talent matters.
ok, enough with the beating of that dead horse. back to learning these songs, guitar practice, p & g tips, pilates and the grace that gets me through all of it.


Join us on Thursday, December 19, 2019, from 6-8pm at Spring Lake Church 301 N Adams, Green Bay WI 54301.
