Anna Hogeland’s debut novel The Long Answer unravels the intimate dynamics of female friendship, sisterhood, motherhood and grief, and the ways in which women are bound together and pulled apart by their shared and contrasting experiences of pregnancy, miscarriage and infertility. In this piece, she describes her relief when she finally makes a Mom Friend …
When my daughter was three months old, I moved to a small town in the rural state of Vermont. I pushed the stroller up and down the same streets every day, looking for other mothers with babies of a similar age, and finding none. Though my daughter was far too young to play with the playground amenities, I took her there anyway, strapped in the carrier, with the sole hope of finding any caregiver with whom I might be able to have at least a small exchange.
I was desperately searching for the woman I wouldn’t meet for several months: Grace, my Mom Friend.
Before I had my daughter, Mom Friends sounded predetermined and inevitable: after a woman has a baby, she makes Mom Friends. My mother was still in touch with a few of her own Mom Friends, whom she met in antenatal class. My older sister, who lives too far away to double as a Mom Friend, began to refer to her Mom Friends after she had her first baby as a separate category than her College Friends or her Friends from Back Home. I don’t know how she met them – these women seemed to simply appear in her life alongside the baby.
“Don’t worry,” I remember my sister saying when I was pregnant, “you’ll make Mom Friends who can help you out.”
Even then, it seemed odd to me that one would seek out another person simply because they were also pregnant or had a child around a similar time. Mothers were just women who happened to have children; if we weren’t connected in some way without children, why would we be connected with them? Was the whole archetype of a Mom Friend somewhat essentialist, suggesting all mothers are alike, while also not accounting for all other kinds of parental figures with whom I could have more in common? But soon after giving birth, I longed for this kind of relationship, a friendship with another new mother, one who had also experienced pregnancy and childbirth in pandemic times.
I met Grace in the winter, a particularly cold season that year, walking in the neighbourhood where I always walked. She was pushing a stroller up ahead, and moved onto the snowy sidewalk to let me pass by before I could do the same for her. Grace asked the first question all parents ask, the one I’d been waiting to hear, the invitation to engage I hadn’t yet received: “How old?”
Her daughter Esther was almost one year old – her birthday was in early March – about four months older than my daughter. “So you gave birth at the very beginning of the pandemic,” I said, and she said yes, it was so strange, I went into the hospital pregnant, with the world one way, and when I came out, I had a baby and everything else was changed, too.
We spoke on the sidewalk until it was too cold to stand still for any longer, and our babies were squealing to keep moving. Before we parted, we exchanged numbers, and for several weeks we texted articles and podcast episodes to each other, more than a few on maternal rage and the childcare crisis. Once it was spring, we met at a nearby walking trail every week and carried our babies up the mountain on our backs. I wanted to hear everything she had to say, and she seemed interested in me, too – we extended our hikes and our babies – now toddlers – grew heavier; by the end of the season, my legs were stronger than they’d ever been.
At the time, I was the only one of my close friends with a child, and after I became a mother I didn’t know how to talk to them; they didn’t know how to talk to me, either. I was on one planet now, a planet in which nothing existed besides breastmilk and baby, and they lived on the other planet, the planet of all else. There was only so much they could hear about my monochrome days, and, in those first months, I could speak of nothing else. Likewise, as my friends talked about going out to eat, hooking up with people they shouldn’t be hooking up with, reading books, going to museums and sleeping until noon, I could hardly imagine any of it. I could hardly imagine I had once done such things, and such a short time ago.
Grace and I lived on the same planet. We spoke about our babies, conversations that would have instantly bored my well-intentioned friends, talking about sleep training, and weaning off breastfeeding. There were many other topics we discussed, too – she was also a psychotherapist, and a reader of fiction, and our family structures had much in common — though even when we weren’t talking about our babies and motherhood, I felt in everything she said, I know how it is, I feel you, this is not an easy time.
While I am so grateful to have found Grace, and for the handful of Mom Friends I’ve met pushing strollers since then, I feel perplexed by my need for her, and, the more I think it over – angry. The idea of a Mom Friend is novel, relatively, as new mothers were not so isolated in more collectivistic cultures and in more collectivistic times. It seems as though the opportunity, if not the expectation, for women to return to work after they give birth, has needlessly come at the cost of providing them with the support to do so.
In the postpartum months, I felt, more acutely than any other time in my life, how true it was that the systems in place were not designed by us, women and mothers, or for us – far from it. In the absence of infrastructure, formal or informal, to hold mothers as we fulfil the obligation to our children we are pressured to fulfil, the Mom Friend becomes essential to the survival of the mother’s sanity.
The other day, I texted Grace that I was going to the playground, she said she’d meet me there; then Esther threw a long tantrum about putting on her boots, and by the time they arrived, my daughter was tired and cranky, ready for a nap. We were only able to spend five minutes together, most of it with my daughter crying and pulling on my shirt. I was near tears myself, and I told Grace I’m so sorry, I wanted to be here longer, but I have to get back. I wanted to know how she was doing, and Esther, and give the girls some time to play together.
“It’s okay,” Grace said, “I get it, believe me.”
Each time she said it, I felt my blood pressure fall, a little. Grace couldn’t fix
anything, and I couldn’t, either – the origins of our current stressors were too abstract and systematic, and also too intimate and personal, but she gave me what she could, and in that moment, there was nothing else I needed.
“I get how hard it is,” she said, watching my daughter crumple on the grass in her fit. “I get it, I get it, I totally, totally get it.”

Federal agencies detect traces of chemical across country
Wednesday, December 1, 2004 Posted: 10:26 AM EST
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The government has found
traces of a rocket fuel chemical in organic milk in Maryland, green leaf
lettuce grown in Arizona and bottled spring water from Texas and California.
What's not clear is the significance of the data, collected by the Food and
Drug Administration through August 19.
Sufficient amounts of perchlorate can affect the thyroid, potentially
causing delayed development and other problems.
But Environmental Protection Agency official Kevin Mayer called for calm,
saying in an interview Tuesday: "Alarm is not warranted. That is clear."
"I think that it is important that EPA and FDA and other agencies come to
some resolution about the toxicity of this chemical," Mayer said. "That has
been, frankly, a struggle for the last few years."
The FDA found that of the various food items it tested, iceberg lettuce
grown in Belle Glade, Florida, had the highest concentrations of perchlorate.
The greens had 71.6 parts per billion of the compound, the primary ingredient
in solid rocket propellant. Red leaf lettuce grown in El Centro, California,
had 52 ppb of perchlorate. Most of the purified, distilled and spring bottled
water tested around the nation tested had no detectable amount of perchlorate.
Whole organic milk in Maryland, however, had 11.3 ppb of perchlorate.
Asked whether that level of chemical in milk was worrisome, Mayer, the
EPA's regional perchlorate coordinator for Arizona, California, Hawaii and
Nevada, said, "The answer is, we don't know yet."
The FDA said in a statement that consumers should not change their eating
habits in response to the test results, posted on the agency's Web site
Perchlorate is introduced into the environment through a variety of ways
including leakage from rocket fuel manufacturing facilities. The FDA has
hypothesized that perchlorate may get into plants after they are irrigated
with perchlorate-containing water or grown in soil that has been previously
exposed to the chemical.
The testing comes as federal agencies try find how much perchlorate people
are exposed to from food so they can determine whether action is needed to
protect the public health. Federal agencies have been trying since the early
1990s to determine what level of perchlorate is safe.
The state of California, meanwhile, set a standard of no more than 10 ppb
of perchlorate in drinking water. That was lowered to 6 ppb in drinking water
to account for the chemical also lacing food, Mayer said.
A more conservative suggestion, in a draft from the EPA, would allow no
more than 1 ppb of perchlorate in drinking water.
The FDA tested lettuce samples collected at farms and packing sheds and
bottled water from retail stores. Raw milk samples came from a research
facility in Maryland and other milk samples were obtained from retail stores.
"These data are exploratory and should not be understood to be a reflection
of the distribution of perchlorate in the U.S. food supply," the agency said
in a statement. "Until more is known about the health effects of perchlorate
and its occurrence in foods, FDA continues to recommend that consumers eat a
balanced diet, choosing a variety of foods that are low in trans fat and
saturated fat, and rich in high-fiber grains, fruits and vegetables."

Missouri judge rejects challenges to ballot items
Gun rights, transportation tax issues to go on ballot as written
A Missouri judge rejected legal challenges Tuesday to a pair of proposed constitutional amendments dealing with gun rights and transportation taxes that are to appear on the ballot next month.
In two similar rulings, Cole County Circuit Judge Jon Beetem dismissed the lawsuits as moot because less than six weeks remain before the Aug. 5 election. He also upheld the ballot summaries approved by the Republican-led Legislature as sufficient and fair.
An attorney challenging the gun-rights measure said he would appeal to the Missouri Supreme Court.
But Jeanette Mott Oxford, who challenged the transportation tax in her role as executive director of the Missouri Association For Social Welfare, said she was ending her legal fight.
"We are going to put our energy into defeating this at the polls," she said.
Proposed Constitutional Amendment 7 would ask voters whether to impose a three-quarters cent sales tax for transportation projects for the next 10 years. The ballot summary projects that it would raise $534 million annually for state and local governments.
The lawsuit challenged the cost estimate and the description of the measure, claiming among other things that the wording was insufficient because it failed to list the current sales tax rate of 4.225 percent or note that the state use tax also would rise.
"The ruling is a total victory over the long-shot attempt by opponents to stop Missourians from having an opportunity to fix their roads and bridges," Bill McKenna, the treasurer for the campaign committee supporting the measure, said in a written statement.
Proposed Constitutional Amendment 5 would ask voters whether to enhance the right to keep and bear arms in the Missouri Constitution. It says the measure would declare the right "unalienable" and require state government to uphold that right.
The measure was challenged by prosecutors from St. Louis and Kansas City, the St. Louis police chief and a gun-control activist. They contended the ballot summary was insufficient for failing to mention other significant changes, including that gun-control measures would become subject to tougher legal scrutiny and that a current constitutional provision allowing restrictions on concealed guns would be repealed.
While rejecting those claims, Beetem also cited a state law that says: "No court shall have the authority to order an individual or issue be placed on the ballot less than six weeks before the date of the election."
The six-week mark, which already has passed, also is when absentee ballots are supposed to be available in Missouri.
Attorney Chuck Hatfield, who represents some of the gun-measure challengers, said he believes that law applies only to ordering a candidate or issue to appear on the ballot, not to removing or ordering a new summary for an item already placed on the ballot.
"It's a completely new issue that I think the Supreme Court needs to enlighten us on," he said.


Since entering the National Hockey League in 1972, there have been few organizations in professional sports franchise history that have experienced the types of highs and lows as the New York Islanders. Introduced to the league largely as a means by the NHL to block the World Hockey Association from encroaching into the New York metro area, the Islanders and their fans have seen it all - from a dynasty to a laughing stock. And up until 2015, all of this occurred under one roof - the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum - or simply referred to as, the Coliseum.
To provide some history, early on the organization faced the types of struggles that are common for a newly minted team competing in an established league. But it didn't take long for the Islanders to transform into a record setting dynasty in the early 1980's, winning four consecutive Stanley Cups and collecting a streak of playoff wins (19) that has gone unmatched in all of professional sports ever since. That success, however, was followed by a bottoming out in the mid-nineties, manifesting itself in the form of a playoff drought, management's decision to unload many of the team's most popular players and a short lived logo change that featured a fisherman holding a hockey stick and way too much teal. Maybe most bizarre (and equally fascinating) during this time, was the attempted sale of the team to Dallas businessman John Spano. Despite the highly publicized undertaking and several months of negotiations that involved both parties and the league, Spano turned out to be a fraud who forged documents to make the team's current owners and the NHL believe he could afford the purchase price. Spano was ultimately sentenced to 71 months in prison. The story was the subject of an ESPN 30 for 30 titled "Big Shot," which included candid interviews with Spano and others that were close to the deal. It should also be noted that in 2006, while still struggling, the team offered a 15 year contract (virtually unheard of it professional sports) worth 67 million dollars to their goalie, Rick Dipietro. It should go without saying that the deal didn't quite work out as the team had hoped.
In addition to serving as home ice for the Islanders, the Coliseum played host to a number of notable musical performances over the years, acting as a popular stop for tours looking to cash in on the roughly 7.5 million people that call Long Island home. It was one of only two stops in the U.S. for Pink Floyd's infamous "The Wall" tour in 1980, David Bowie conducted a live radio broadcast from the Coliseum for his "Station to Station" tour and throughout the years a handful of multi-night stands by the likes of Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Led Zeppelin, Elvis Presley and the Grateful Dead, among others, have graced the stage, spawning numerous live albums and recordings.
Then, at a time when the franchise was once again on the rise, it was announced that the Islanders would be moving to the Barclay's Center, a new, state of the art, arena in downtown Brooklyn, just steps from the Long Island Railroad's Atlantic Terminal. The Coliseum, which is one of the few major sporting arenas that lacks a major corporate brand in its name, was slated to undergo massive (and much needed) renovations that, when completed, would leave the place unrecognizable from its original incarnation. Not just a facelift, but full reconstructive surgery. But with the Islanders gone, the new venue will lack the presence of a major sports team, and instead, will be reserved solely for concerts, the circus and monster truck rallies. So when I heard about the team's plans to leave Nassau County for downtown Brooklyn in 2015, I headed out to take in the sights and sounds of the last regular season game to be played at the Coliseum.
When I stepped off of the platform of the Long Island Rail Road at the Westbury station, a string of idling taxis were parked along the curb, their drivers jockeying for passengers to take to the Coliseum. This would be the last time they'd be doing this for a regular season game, with the Islanders slated to trade in the ragged old Coliseum for the shiny new Barclays Center beginning next season. My driver, who grew up in the area, explained that he attended every single game of the 1972 inaugural season. After witnessing the team finish in last place, with a dismal record of 12-60-6 and setting a record for the most losses in a season, he turned his back on the team and hasn't been to a game since.
To demonstrate what the Coliseum means to fans of the team, as well as the sport of hockey, I shared the van with a group of people who traveled from all over to witness the occasion. There was the twenty-something year old local kid who grew up in nearby Garden City and took a train down from Boston to say good-bye. The middle-aged lifelong fan who flew in from the mid-west to take in one last game in the teams first and only home. And the most curious of all, a couple that came all the way from Winnipeg, the Canadian city in the Provence of Manitoba, directly north of Minnesota. These die hard Winnipeg Jets fans explained that when they heard the Islanders would be leaving the Coliseum at the end of the season, they immediately purchased tickets and booked the trip, not wanting to miss out on experiencing a piece of hockey lore that is a game at what hockey fans refer to as "The Barn," which has historically been praised for its raucous atmosphere and superior sight lines.
As we pulled into the venue, I noticed the Coliseum's outdated sign perched on the side of the Hempstead Turnpike, its screen totally blank, providing no indication to passing traffic that there was even a game being played, let alone the last regular season game ever. I climbed out of the beat up white van and was greeted with what looked and felt more like a football game than a hockey game. Classic rock blared from car speakers and the smell of charcoal lingered in the air from grills of the tailgating masses. A sea of blue and orange flooded the area, with the occasional Islanders flag sprouting up from the horizon.
I passed by clusters of families and friends who gathered around their cars, enjoying the sun and the company of each other as they drank light beer from cans. The Marriott, which abuts the parking lot and looked just as outdated and in need of attention as the Coliseum, had a steady stream of fans making their way out after having pregame drinks at Champions, the memorabilia filled sports bar that sits in the lobby. It seemed as if many people were putting off heading inside so they could soak up the last moments of a Coliseum tailgate, until finally having to hurry to the gates to catch the puck drop.
The saddest thing about the team leaving for greener pastures is that these lifelong fans, whether young or old, would never be able to do this again. Whatever game day traditions existed would need to be augmented, certain things laid to rest. The kids who played street hockey while wearing the jersey of their favorite player won't be able do that outside the Atlantic Terminal subway station. You can't just fire up a grill next to your car that's parked on Flatbush Avenue. Fans that live in the surrounding communities can no longer just jump in the car and drive down the Meadowbrook State Parkway to get to a game. Instead, they'll now have to deal with traffic on the Belt Parkway or, even worse, take a train. It's the type of collateral damage that happens when any team moves to a new location.
That afternoon the Islanders ended up falling to the Columbia Blue Jackets 5-4 in a shootout, and would go on to lose in the first round of the playoffs to the Washington Capitals in a seven game series, placing a final bookend on their tenure at the Coliseum. As a fan, I'm not sure whether I would be happy or sad to watch my team move to a neighboring city. Sure, you can still attend a game easily enough, but you're also constantly reminded of the departure, like having to see an ex-girlfriend walking around town with her new date. Maybe it's better when a team moves to an entirely different part of the country? Either way, the Islanders are now in their second season at the Barclay's Center, with recent reports suggesting it may not be a great fit, leaving the door open for a possible return to Nassau County. But even if that were to happen, and the team did eventually come back to the new and improved stadium, all the history, both good and bad, that happened under the roof of the original Coliseum would be just that - history.


You probably at least heard about the latest big U.S. climate report(Opens in a new window) -- even though the Trump Administration attempted to furtively release(Opens in a new window) it on Black Friday. In the end the plan backfired, as many of the nation's top newspapers highlighted the grim conclusions of the Fourth National Climate Assessment.
Yet, that same day at the same time, another major climate report dropped: the latest edition of the State of the Carbon Cycle Report(Opens in a new window), which marked its first-ever update, over a decade after the inaugural release.
The three-year effort, involving the input of 200 scientists and 13 federal agencies, underscores that the carbon emitted from U.S. fossil fuel burning is fast outpacing the planet's natural ability store away this heat-trapping gas, leaving it to accumulate in the atmosphere.
While President Donald Trump may be candid about dismissing(Opens in a new window) his own administration's latest climate research, this report further shows the reality that Earth's climate has moved into some profoundly unfamiliar climate territory. Carbon dioxide concentrations themselves are the highest they've been in some 15 million years, and human activity is to blame.
"It's certainly true that we are emitting a lot more carbon into the atmosphere than the oceans and land are taking up," Elisabeth Larson, a NASA scientist who worked on the report, said in an interview. "That is the main reason we are seeing global warming."
Earth's vast oceans and sprawling forests, while naturally quite proficient at absorbing carbon and removing it from the air, can only take in so much at once. They are known as carbon "sinks," and they're maxed out. With the modern burning of prodigious amounts of fossil fuels, that leaves a profound amount carbon to saturate the air and trap heat -- a physical reality understood since the 1870s(Opens in a new window).
So, just how much carbon is filling the skies?
According to the report, in North America each year about 2,145 megatons of carbon saturates the air.
For perspective, there are over 2.2 billion pounds in every megaton. Comparatively, about half this number, some 1,136 megatons, is stored away in the continent's forests, oceans, and other vegetation each year. That leaves well over 1,000 megatons of carbon -- or hundreds of billions of tons -- left out in the atmosphere.
But the even more critical numbers come next: How much of this carbon comes from the human burning of fossil fuels?
More than 80 percent of the carbon filling the air comes from fossil fuel burning, and the U.S. is overwhelmingly to blame.
"The U.S. is responsible for 80 to 85 percent of fossil fuels emissions in North America -- that's a lot," Gyami Shrestha, director of the U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Program and scientist at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, said in an interview.
That said, it's important to note one bit of brighter news.
Although over the last decade the U.S. economy has recovered from the crippling "Great Recession"(Opens in a new window), and consequently ramped up its production, the nation has gradually started reducing carbon emissions.
In each of the last 10 years, carbon dioxide emissions have dropped by one percent(Opens in a new window), showing that the economy can still grow while reducing the amount of carbon spewed into America's proud, blue skies.
A lost balance
Before the industrial revolution began, Earth's climate was largely in balance, said NASA's Larson. Things were quite stable.
For at least hundreds of thousands of years, Earth's total carbon dioxide concentrations slowly wavered between 200 to 280 parts per million, or ppm. But in the last 150 years these numbers have skyrocketed. This year, they hit 410 ppm.
"Humans threw the climate-carbon equilibrium out of whack, and that will persist for thousands of years," Matthew Long, a carbon cycle expert at the National Center for Atmospheric Research who had no role in the new federal report, said in an interview.
There's little question Earth's great surplus of carbon is coming from humans.
When plants suck carbon out of the air, they consume a specific type of lighter carbon (technically known as a lighter carbon isotope), explained Larson.
Millions of year later, when these long-dead plants have decayed into oil, coal, and gas and are then burned as fuel, this carbon -- with its specific plant fingerprint -- is then released into the air.
Although Earth's natural systems are overloaded, they still absorb bounties of carbon from the carbon dioxide-saturated atmosphere.
"Ultimately, after thousands of years, the ocean will absorb most of the CO2," said Long.
But that's not quite the end of the story.
The Earth will try in earnest to balance itself back out.
Yet, as consequence, the oceans will grow increasingly acidic as they absorb more carbon. This wide-scale chemical change is a problem the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) terms the "the other carbon dioxide problem(Opens in a new window)."
This has already proven deadly for life dwelling in the oceans, like corals and shelled-critters, both significant players in the food web.
The future holds another significant carbon threat on land, specifically in the Arctic -- a vast region warming between two and three times faster than the rest of the planet.
The considerable problem here is that warmer air will thaw once permanently frozen, nutrient-rich soil, called permafrost. It holds bounties of carbon.
"This increase can destabilize permafrost soils (i.e., soil that remains permanently frozen at some depth) and surrounding landscapes, which exist throughout the Arctic and store almost twice the amount of carbon currently contained in the atmosphere," the report reads.
"Warming temperatures can release this stored carbon into the atmosphere."
This carbon report, like the latest National Climate Assessment, is extremely detailed and leaves no portion of the Earth unanalyzed: Grasslands, oceans, marshes, and agriculture are all assessed.
And the message is clear.
"The carbon cycle is changing at a much faster pace than observed at any time in geological history," the report's authors write.

In the 2012 presidential election, a number of measures to enact restrictive voter identification laws failed to come to fruition. But civil rights and advocacy groups contend that there is now a new wave of laws in various states to pass laws that would make it difficult for many voters to cast their ballots in future elections.
In several states, there are now laws regarding voting that have been introduced or enacted by Republican-led legislatures that have civil rights groups worried. Those initiatives range from new voter identification laws to penalties for parents of college students whose children register to vote in places outside of their home states.
“We’re seeing an assault on voting rights now that is shocking,” said Katherine Culliton-González, the director of voter protection for the Advancement Project, a civil rights group based in Washington, D.C.
“There are 23 states that have proposals to enact voter ID laws,” she said. “We in the civil rights community won all our cases last year, but we’re now seeing a repeat performance. And we’re working to address them.”
The Advancement Group along with the NAACP and other groups have been working with local advocacy groups in several states to bring attention to the various measures being introduced in the state legislatures.
For example, in North Carolina, the Republican-dominated legislature and GOP governor Pat McCrory are considering a number of measures that civil rights activists say would severely restrict voter registration and voting.
North Carolina is one of eight states whose legislatures are now considering eliminating same-day registration and reducing the period of early voting.
“They are trying to cut Sunday voting, which has been an important tradition in the African-American community,” said the Rev. William J. Barber II, the president of the North Carolina NAACP, in an interview with BET.com. “They want to charge parents $2,500 if their children are college students who vote in their college instead of in their hometown. They want to deny people the right to vote.”
Barber was referring to a measure being considered in the North Carolina legislature under which parents who are state residents would incur a tax liability of $2,500 if they have children in college who register to vote outside of North Carolina. A similar measure is being considered now in Ohio.
Meanwhile, Florida recently adopted a voting reform measure, but civil rights groups complain that it doesn’t go far enough to alleviate the severely long voter lines that became a national symbol of Election Day problems.
“We’re concerned about Florida because they have reinstated only eight of the 14 days of early voting that were cut,” Culliton-González said. “Also, they have not restored voting on the Sunday before the election. We see states like Florida who say they are doing something positive, but who are only going half way to solve the problem.”

Trump likes two-state solution, but says he will leave it up to Israelis, Palestinians
US President Donald Trump says he likes the concept of a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict; in an interview with Reuters, he reaffirms that he 'likes' the two-state solution, but: 'I ultimately like what the both parties like.'
But in an interview with Reuters, Trump stopped short of reasserting a US commitment to eventual Palestinian statehood and instead said again that he would be “satisfied with whatever makes both parties happy.”
Trump’s comments put a new twist on a statement he made at a February 15 joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggesting that his administration would no longer insist on the creation of an independent Palestinian state as part of any future peace accord.
It could also send a signal to both sides, as well as the international community, that the principle that has long underpinned US-led peace diplomacy will not be discarded if the Trump administration moves forward, as he has promised, with an initiative to restart long-stalled peace efforts.
“No, I like the two-state solution,” Trump said when asked whether he had backed away from the concept during his joint White House appearance with the right-wing Israeli leader. “But I ultimately like what the both parties like.”
“People have been talking about it for so many years now. It so far hasn’t worked,” he added. But he then repeated his revised position, saying: “I like this two-state solution, but I am satisfied with whatever both parties agree with.”
Trump's comments provided nuance to his earlier comments.
"I'm looking at two states and one state, and I like the one both parties like," he said at last week's news conference. "I can live with either one."
Those words were welcomed at the time by the Israeli right but denounced by Palestinians, who seek a state of their own.
A one-state solution would be deeply problematic for both sides. One concept would be two systems for two peoples, which many Palestinians would see as apartheid and endless occupation. A second version would mean equal rights for all, including for Palestinians in an annexed West Bank, but that would compromise Israel’s Jewish character.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres cautioned against abandoning the idea of a two-state solution, saying there was "no alternative," and Egyptian and Jordanian leaders also renewed their commitment to that goal.
Trump’s revised language could soften such criticism, but still fails to meet demands that he explicitly re-commit to seeking a two-state solution.
At the news conference, Trump pledged to work toward a peace deal but said it would require compromise on both sides. He also surprised Netanyahu by urging him to “hold back on settlements for a little bit,” a vague appeal to curb construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank, which was captured in the 1967 Six-Day War.
But at the news conference he offered no new prescription for achieving an accord that has eluded so many of his predecessors, and Palestinian anger over his strongly pro-Israel stance could make it difficult to draw them back to the negotiating table.

What Is Digital Currency-How Does It Work
What is digital currency? It is specified as: cash saved and transferred in digital kind. Sounds easy enough, however how does it all work?
This type of currency is believed to be excellent to use for making purchases on the internet since if it works the way it was indicated to, deals need to be rather anonymous and untraceable back to the payer or user.
This suggests that hackers would no longer be able to gather individual details from individuals who utilize their charge card to make online purchases. This would undoubtedly reduce the number of taken identities that happen every day.
To help you comprehend more of, “what is digital currency?” I have actually done a fair bit of research study on the subject and have found that there are several various types out there, each with it’s own unique qualities.
Here are simply a few with their descriptions following:
1. Digital Gold Currency – This type is backed by gold stored in vaults. The gold offers an additional step of security and if you hold this type of currency, you might possibly straight exchange it for solid gold bullion.
2. Centralized Currency Systems – these are like PayPal and these companies allow you to send money all over the world as long as you have money in the account. For some services offered by these types of companies, you get charged a charge on the receivers end of the transaction.
3. Decentralized Currency Systems – Like Bitcoin are all based on cryptography and/or trust networks. Likewise called Hard Electronic Currency, it is intended to be more like using cash to make your deal but your deal is non-refundable when made. This type of system just operates in one direction.
The E-cash concept has progressed along with the evolution of the Web. Individuals just do not feel comfy with giving their personal charge card details over the Internet when purchasing.
Too many bad things can happen like identity theft. Nobody desires their identity taken.
So, lots of business have actually attempted to produce this type of payment or monetary system to minimize the threats of shopping online.
Lots of nations have successfully developed systems for “internal” usage such as Hong Kong’s Octopus card. This card works similar to a sort of debit card where the user loads money onto the card and then all the cash is transferred into a bank. They can then utilize the card for anything they require to use it for.
Some nations are working on or have systems that permit the user to transfer cash through mobile devices. I believe this is rather like what Chase lets their customers do. Their customers can take an image of their check, front and back, with their phone and make their deposit electronically.
I do hope that this provides you some idea of what is digital currency and how it is trying to take it’s location on the planet of e-commerce. There might be a little bit more to it than I might explain in just one little post but I think you can get a great concept.

In Part I of the top SLED trends to watch in 2018, I covered the technology drivers for the state, local and education market in the coming year. Now it’s time to talk about the market segments within SLED that will be major focus areas in 2018.
From health care to transportation, SLED organizations will be turning more and more to technology for solutions. (We’re seeing similar trends in the commercial market.) Here’s a rundown of what to watch:
Health & Human Services
Behind the headlines of street and prescription drugs, there exists an issue with the systems and databases that track these substances. Nearly every state with the exception of Missouri has a statewide prescription drug monitoring system that requires input from doctors, pharmacists, therapists and hospitals that dispense opioid prescription medication. The IT piece of this is in the management of the database that houses this information.
A database won’t help them make smarter decisions unless they perform analytics on their data. Analytics on prescription information will help hard-hit areas like Ohio make real-time decisions. This is exactly what the Governor’s Cabinet Opiate Action Team is doing through their Ohio Automated Rx Reporting System.
Another area to watch is telehealth. This is all about improving the delivery of healthcare services in rural areas, which are historically underserved for even the most basic preventative care. More than half of states have already passed a parity law that enables doctors and insurance companies to bill telehealth services as though they were performed in person. States will need to ensure they have adequate broadband to support the cloud-based programs that will be running the services. All of this will need a security wrapper to ensure patient data is kept confidential and secure.
The first issue to watch for in education is the continual incorporation of digital content into classrooms. More classroom content is moving online and the course curriculum is provided via cloud. Students need devices in order to access their digital content, which requires more mobility technologies and apps. Large school districts and universities will have the money to purchase these types of programs and incorporate them into curriculums.
The second major opportunity to watch is the broadband gap, which really exists in smaller and rural schools. Lack of money has prevented many of these districts from upgrading but the incorporation of more online content is making the upgrade necessary. Schools are using e-Rate to help pay for these upgrades, but the real opportunity will be after the school has made the transition to more broadband capacity. Schools will need to upgrade their data and storage capacity with demonstrated savings and assurance.
The first area to watch within transportation is autonomous or connected vehicles. This technology is beginning to move from new-fangled technology to mainstream adoption. Several states and major metro areas have begun allowing the testing of these vehicles. In Nevada, the recent passage of AB-69 gave the ability to test autonomous vehicles on public highways. The DMV has already begun accepting applications from developers of autonomous technology. The opportunity here spans the whole gamut of IoT from sensors in roadways, to networking, cloud storage, and cyber and analytics. This is an opportunity to create a niche and drive standardization in the industry potentially around a company’s specific technology.
The second issue to watch is data sharing–not only with sister and regional governments but with third parties like traffic app, Waze. States already collect a great deal of data about the transportation system and pooling that data to create a holistic picture can enable stronger more predictive analytics. The data can be analyzed and then visualized into mobile programs and apps for public consumption, ranging from train systems to traffic conditions, but also for transportation agencies on how to streamline and improve traffic flow. The IT opportunities include cloud storage, cyber, analytics and mobility. Focus on heavy traffic regions like New York, Atlanta and Washington, D.C.
Law Enforcement & Public Safety
One important area to watch is the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet), which is designed to be the first responder interoperable broadband solution. Final state plans were sent to each state representative, and they were required to make their final decisions by Dec. 29 on whether they will be opting-in or opting-out of FirstNet. Opting in means that AT&T & FirstNet will build-out and upgrade that state’s network based on the state plan. States that opt out will be responsible for building out and upgrading their own radio network and seeking approval from the FirstNet authority on interoperability before proceeding.
We now know that 53 states and territories have opted in. This will have wide-ranging opportunities after radio networks are upgraded as more law enforcement activities and first responders will be seeking advanced digital technologies and applications. So this is one to monitor over the next several years for follow-on opportunities post upgrade in mobility and other cloud-leveraging programs.
Another opportunity to watch is drones. The applications for drones in the state and local space include agriculture, forestry, fire control and law enforcement. The best targets for sales opportunities are sheriff’s departments and police departments. There are some politics at play and there are some areas where drones are not permitted. The data collected by drones and the transmitting of that data will definitely need mobility technologies, networking, cybersecurity, data storage and analytics. Vendors should work in flexible cloud options and integration with other technologies as a way to improve effectiveness and speed of data analysis.

Globally, subsidies should be evened out and made completely transparent
Steve Sawyer interviewed by Eric Frykburg
At a Wind Energy Conference in Wellington, New Zealand, Steve Sawyer, Secretary General of GWEC, says governments tell people not to emit greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), but the subsidies they pay to fossil fuels such as oil more than cancel this out. These subsidies vary from complex tax incentives in the United States to governments in the Middle East subsidising the price of petrol. “Fossils fuel subsidies amounted to an emissions incentive of about $110 a tonne of CO2, which explains a bit why our carbon price of five, 10, 15 or even $25 a tonne of CO2 doesn’t really do much in the face when governments are spending $110 to tell you to emit it instead.”
Fossil fuel and nuclear industries get far bigger subsidies than renewables, for which subsidy levels are low or non existent in some countries such as New Zealand. But Sawyer says that globally, subsidies should be evened out and made completely transparent.

When you’re in Moss Landing and right on highway 1 you’ll find the BEST farmers market. The Whole Enchilada Market Place. Picked from the fields that morning: sun warmed strawberries, artichokes the size of your head, asparagus, blood oranges, avocado a and grapes the size of a plum. The prices are very inexpensive. I got asparagus and eggplant to grill and a ton of veggies for my NutriBullet green drinks. Next, the seafood market. I’m hoping they are open!
Here’s a fabulous place for lunch and local farmers market if you’re looking for a day trip in Northern California. From Santa Cruz, take Highway 1 south. As you weave your way along you’ll run into the town of Moss Landing. I know I’ve mentioned this place before but wanted to give you a few more details. The first place you’ll want to stop is The Whole Enchilada Farmers Market which is on Highway 1. Everything is locally grown and the prices are very inexpensive. They also have some exotic fruits and vegetables which are hard to find. From there head over to a recent find of mine called Phil’s Fish Market. I guess most people know about this place (As I’ve noted by the looks of shock when tell people about it – “What? You’ve never been? Are you completely mad? I’ve been eating there for years!”) Anyway, once I found it, I’ve been hooked ever since. It’s super casual so dining alone is no problem. Be sure to get there early because it’s always packed. When it’s warm you can sit outside and enjoy an ocean view. After lunch the options are endless! Monterey! Carmel! Let me know if you go and if you have a favorite item that you order, I’d love to share that too.
The blue dot shows where the farmer’s market is. You can also see the call out for Phil’s. Hope you head over soon!
If you head south on Highway one from Santa Cruz you’ll pass a town called Moss Landing. A lot of people probably drive right by. At first glance, your eyes are drawn to the huge smoke stacks. But don’t let that deter you – there are some beautiful views, a harbor and a few good places to visit. When you see the sign for Moss Landing you’ll also see The Whole Enchilada Market Place. They have a unique farmers market where you can find many exotic fruits and vegetables at very reasonable prices. You’ll also find a fabulous restaurant called Phil’s Fish Market. I stumbled upon it on my last trip and would make a special coastal run just to eat there. It’s packed (I mean packed) so try to get there early (directions below). If you want to take off on your own and try this trip, I would highly recommend it. Get a good “Books on CD” and hit the road. You won’t regret it! (I took this photo on a cold, foggy morning. I absolutely love photographing in the fog! It softens the world around you muting colors and shapes.) Continue reading “Moss Landing CA Excursion”

The young DJ and producer of only 21 years old, Hypanda, shows his talent again with another release of a great theme and you will not want to miss it!
Sometimes there are many talents that aren’t valued as they should be and even end up giving up on their dreams because they don’t get the support they deserve, in this case Hypanda, with only 21 years old, did not give up on his dreams and continues to demonstrate all his talent, although very young, and brings with him the singer Raphi, thus releasing “What Goes Around“, his latest single! A theme that shows the full potential of Hypanda, something more focused on House music and a bit of Pop and with Raphi’s voice everything becomes better.
Despite the recent debut with regard to releases, in 2019 with his first single “Gotta Get Love“, Hypanda shows quality and talent and in the course of 2020, he also released “Back Home“, and now this new single. A talented young man who still has a large margin for progression and who will undoubtedly be spoken of for the next few years to continue with this level.
About the singer, it was a big bet on the part of Hypanda, who gave a fluidity to music with the vocal from Raphi, a native singer from Cyprus, but who has her life in London and who’s worked with other electronic music artists like Alle Farben, Kraans, Galantis or Tom Gregory, although her area of comfort is more in the style of R&B and some pop. This was also a challenge for her because despite everything there are completely different rhythms and melodies than what she is used to.
Listen below the new track of Hypanda and Raphi:

On the heels of news that it’s laying off 125 employees at its Streetsboro facility, Data Cooling Technologies has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, according to court documents.
Under Chapter 11, the company can reorganize its debts and is required to submit to the court a plan for profitability upon exiting bankruptcy.
According to the voluntarily filed bankruptcy petition, the company owes about $9.6 million to its top 20 creditors. However, it states about $2.5 million of that money is the subject of disputes with two creditors.
Data Cooling Technology officials and its attorney did not return calls seeking comment.
The positions being eliminated from the facility at 1777 Miller Parkway are listed on a letter to the city from Data Cooling Technologies Chief Executive Officer Greg Gyllstrom and range from a janitor to a vice president of operations. The layoffs include 18 team leaders, 29 unit builders and 23 electricians, in addition to many positions held by just one or two workers.
In a statement included as part of the bankruptcy filing, Gyllstrom said the company, which had the exclusive rights to install KyotoCooling systems, grew quickly and had a few installations that didn’t go as planned.
Then, he stated Kyoto Cooling North America had "inappropriate contact with the (Data Cooling Technologies’) suppliers, customers, and potential customers, leading to difficulties in the Debtors’ businesses."
"Among other things, KCNA has repeatedly told the debtors’ business partners that the debtors will fail, and KCNA will be there to partner with them in the future," he claimed in the statement.
Streetsboro Mayor Glenn Broska said he and Economic Development Director Rob Peters are working to find a source of capital for the company.
"They are actively looking for an investor," said Broska last week prior to the Chapter 11 filing. "My understanding is, they’re actively pursuing an injection of capital."

Located on the side south of Central Park on Qu’Appelle Avenue in Winnipeg, this five-storey stone and brick building was designed by local architect William Wallace Blair and constructed between 1908 and 1909 by builder Sveinn Brynjolfsson (with tiling work done by Griffin Brothers) at a cost of about $150,000. The 100 feet by 120 feet building contained 68 apartments in its original configuration. In 1911, a roofhouse was converted into apartments.
The restoration of the building (a municipally-designated historic site) was given a Conservation Award by Heritage Winnipeg.

P&G, Unilever and L’Oréal have ranked in the top ten of 50 FMCG list
The ranking of Consultancy OC&C now in its 14th year, analyses the financial performance of the world’s largest companies and ranks them based on revenues taken from the annual report of each business.
1. Nestle AG
6. Coca Cola Company
7. AB Inbev
8. Tyson Foods
In second place on the list was P&G, while Unilever came in fourth and L’Oréal pitched in tenth place.
Through the analysis for ranking,it is shown that revenue of the top 50 declined for the fifth year in a row, due to slowdowns in emerging markets, currency volatility and local competition. Marketing spend among the top 50 was seen to grow in 2015 by 0.7% of sales and R&D by 0.1%, together contributing $8bn.

The premiere of America’s Got Talent is set to air on Tuesday, and you could be remembering Archie Williams for quite some time.
What do we know about him? Before he even starts singing “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me,” he does his part to share his powerful story. This is a man who spent a significant portion of his life (37 years) imprisoned for a crime that he did not commit. DNA evidence later found him innocent, but there is no way to make up for all of the time that he lost.
This audition, and this performance in front of the crowd, is his big moment. He’s a strong singer who performs with so much heart and character. You really get the sense through this that he has lived a full, difficult life, but is still determined to try to find whatever light at the end of it that he can. The easily loves him, the judges embrace him, and there is a chance for him to move forward.
For some more video thoughts on this audition, be sure to check out some of the latest below! Once you check it out, remember to also subscribe to CarterMatt on YouTube! Meanwhile, be sure to view our show playlist for some other news.
Is he going to be the sort of performer who goes far in the competition? On the surface, we don’t really see any other outcome for him. This show always does a good job of connecting you to at least some of its performers — singers are always going to be able to achieve some sort of bond with the audience since the craft itself is so relatable. There are people from all over the world who communicate through the language of music; it is a way to channel feelings that you don’t know how to say otherwise. Archie delivers this a million times over, and we’re so curious to learn where this show goes from him next.
Do you think that Archie Williams could win America’s Got Talent?

2016 BMW R 1200 GS / R 1200 GS Adventure
BMW continues its GS legacy into 2017 with the R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure. With a new cooling concept integrated into the muscle-up-front design from last year, the R 1200 GS looks even more ready and capable to carry you on the adventure of your choosing.
Standard with disengageable integral ABS, traction control, an on-board computer, a height-adjustable saddle, stepless adjustable windscreen, a pillion adjustable fore and aft, and removable passenger pegs, the R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure are great choices for on-road and off-road touring.
Continue reading for my review of the BMW R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure.
2016 BMW R 1200 GS / R 1200 GS Adventure
Top Speed:125 mph
The R 1200 GS comes with what I consider a pretty standard 5.3-gallon tank — fairly standard for a tourer, yeah? — but the R 1200 GS Adventure has a fuel capacity of almost eight gallons. While that is a whopping amount of fuel, when you think about the bike’s intended purpose, it makes sense.
Boths models come standard with two rider modes — "Rain" and "Road." If you add the Ride Mode Pro, which comes in the Premium Package of options for each respective model, you add a "Dynamic" mode that gives you a sportier riding experience, an "Enduro" mode that tunes ABS, traction control and the suspension for off-road, and the "Enduro Pro" mode. "Enduro Pro" turns off ABS to the rear wheel and tunes the bike for some serious off-road adventure. New from 2016, ABS Pro, which is a cornering-optimized ABS, was also included as part of the Ride Mode Pro.
Option packages for each model include the most popular choices. For the R 1200 GS, you have the choice of a Standard package or a Premium package. The Standard package gives you Dynamic ESA, heated grips, cruise control, hand guards and saddlebag mounts — no bags, just the mounts. The premium package gives you everything in the Standard package plus the LED headlight, tire pressure monitor, On-Board Computer Pro, Rides Pro, and GPS mount with hook-ups — no GPS, just the do-dads needed to add one.
On the R 1200 GS Adventure, your only choice is a Premium package that adds everything that GS Premium package gave you — except the hand guards; they’re standard on the GSA — plus LED auxiliary lights.
For the start of 2017, other than an updated instrument panel design, both models are a carry-over from 2016; but later in the year, we’ll see mid-year updates on them that should prove interesting.
BMW went with a rather minimal frame designed to help keep overall weight down while providing the rigidity and toughness. The continuous tubular steel bridge-type frame uses the engine as a stressed member, and the mill actually comprises a large part of the overall assembly.
Both the GS and the GS Adventure come with a skid plate to protect the engine in its proffered position under the frame, an important feature given the designed purpose of these rides as on- or off-road machines. Engine guards and an expanded skid plate are available in the accessories catalog, and I strongly recommend that you take a look at them if you plan on doing any “Long Way Down/Round” work with it.
Frame design varies but a little between the two models, with a 64.5-degree steering-head angle on the GS and a 65.5-degree angle on the GSA. The Bayerische Motoren Werke measures its rake angle from the horizontal, instead of the vertical like U.S. manufacturers do, so this translates to 25.5 degrees on the GS and 24.5 degrees on the GSA.
The suspension and rolling gear highlight the divide between the models. While they both run 37 mm, usd front forks, the GS suspension provides 7.5 inches of travel up front, versus the 8.3-inch travel on the GSA.
A cast-aluminum, single-sided swingarm rides on BMW’s EVO Paralever rear shock, and both bikes also share the hand-wheel feature for rear preload and damping adjustments to quickly dial in your ride. The rear shock floats the GS on 7.9 inches of travel and the GSA on 8.7 inches of travel.
Rim styles also vary, with the more road-tastic GS riding on cast wheels for street-handling stability, and the off-road-errific GSA on laced rims for that extra little bit of bump mitigation. As you might imagine, the two run on very different hoops. While both roll on 19-inch tires up front and 17-inch tires in back, the GS has tires geared more towards street use, while the GSA has deep-grooved knobbies with generous street flats for a more trail-friendly ride.
BMW’s own Integral ABS modulates the brake pressures to prevent loss of traction at either wheel. The ABS works with the four-pot calipers and dual, 305 mm brakes discs up front and the single-pot caliper and 276 mm disc in back. If you prefer a more traditional brake feel and response, you can disable the ABS and use just the raw, unaugmented brakes.
Nothing says BMW quite like a twin-cylinder boxer engine, and the GS series is no exception. The four-stroke flat-twin engine uses a combination of water- and air-cooling to carry off waste heat, and a DOHC setup actuates the four valves in each head. Excessive vibration used to be part of running a flat-twin engine, but BMW tamed that problem through the use of a balancer shaft, so you get that classic look with less of the old, undesirable engine traits.
A Ride-by-Wire (RbW) throttle actuator controls the induction, and electronic fuel injection supplies the gas while the closed-loop catalyst takes care of emissions.
All of this adds up to an engine that punches a bit above its weight. It cranks out 125 ponies at 7,750 rpm and 92 pound-feet of torque at 6,500 rpm — and this out of only 1,170 cc. Fuel economy is pretty good as well, with around 56 mpg at 55 mph, and both are capable of reaching 125 mph. A six-speed, helical gearbox powers the shaft-type drive, and a slipper clutch prevents wheel hop and excessive back torque.
MSRP on the 2016 R 1200 GS starts at $16,495, though if you want it in Frozen Dark Blue Metallic, you’ll have to cough up $100 more. To make the GS more off-road-tastic, add spoke wheels for another $500. The standard option package adds $1,500 to the bill and the Premium package adds $2,950.
For another $600, opt for the Triple Black package that includes the blacked-out powertrain, spoke wheels with black rims, black-on-black tank, and black forks. The black-out package is only available with the Black Storm Metallic/Black/Agate Grey colorway.
MSRP on the R 1200 GS Adventure starts at $18,695 for Light White. Add another $100 for Ocean Blue Metallic Matte or Racing Red Matte. Add the Premium options package for another $3,350.
There can be no doubt that BMW makes a top-shelf product, so I went with another champagne bike for my competitor; the new-for-2016 Multistrada 1200 Enduro from Ducati. Both companies enjoy a good reputation and a strong market presence, and both strive to give riders the benefit of modern technologies designed to increase comfort and safety, so let’s take a look at how well the details match up.
BMW puts road-oriented tires on the GSA, but offers off-road tires as a no-cost option. Ducati does something similar with the Multistrada, giving you the choice of Pirelli Scorpion Trail II enduro-type tires, or the Pirelli Scorpion Rally with its deep knobbies and street flats.
Adventure work can be very taxing to a motorcycle, and given the fact that something may break and leave you stranded, literally, in the middle of nowhere, you want the components to be as beefy as possible.
With that in mind, I would point out that BMW uses rather small front forks, and even though the 37 mm GS-GSA forks come in a relatively stiff inverted configuration, they fall short of the Multistrada’s suspension. Ducati went with massive, inverted, 48 mm Sachs forks. I would feel a lot more confident striking out across the tundra with the beefier front end, but I admit that I am a bit paranoid like that.
Brake choices show another difference between the models. While the GS family comes with built-in ABS protection, and the factory offers a high-performance cornering ABS as a GS option for an additional charge. The Ducati comes with cornering ABS as a standard feature, inclusive in the MSRP.
For the powerplants. BMW’s boxer engine has a long and illustrious history, but so does the Testastretta L-Twin from Ducati, with its Desmodromic valvetrain. Displacement runs close enough for government work with the Ducati coming out just ahead at 1,198.4 cc over the 1,170 cc from the BMW.
The BMW mill cranks out 125 horsepower and 92 pound-feet, while the Multistrada offers 160 ponies and 100 pound-feet, definitely enough of a difference to be able to feel it in your seat. Both plants enjoy ride-by-wire technology.
The GS and GSA come with dual rider modes, and have the option for up to four rider modes that tweak power delivery for different conditions, but the Ducati comes stock with four separate rider modes, another tiny tick in favor of the Multistrada. Ducati also runs its proprietary traction control that intervenes by reducing power to the rear wheel to avoid loss of traction due to over-acceleration or poor conditions, a safety feature I happen to endorse wholeheartedly.
Now for the rest of the story. BMW offers the R 1200 GS for $16,495 and the GSA for $18,695, while the Multistrada rolls for $21,295 from my local dealer. Yeah, the Ducati comes with more champagne, and the prices on the BMWs can be bloated a bit with options, but one must never forget that the GSA is the same bike that carried Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman all over Hell’s Half Acre, so it is a very capable bike.
The price on the base model makes for a much lower rung to reach on the price ladder, opening up the genre to a wider group of riders. Besides, when you add the premium package to the GSA, the price falls right in line with the Ducati.
Bottom line: The Ducati is a heck of a bike, but the differences in technology levels may not be enough to drag customers into a somewhat-higher price bracket, and BMW is offering a whole lot of bike for the money here.
My husband and fellow writer, TJ Hinton, says, “After watching “Around/Down,” I have a whole new appreciation for adventure bikes. They’re tough, they’re made to perform in areas where there isn’t a mechanic waiting to run out and fix you up, and so you need to have a lot of confidence in your ride. Not just confidence, but conviction, and the BMW seems to deliver plenty of that for no extra charge. Of course, you still have those vulnerable heads and jugs sticking out the sides, but my concerns there seem to put me in the distinct minority, and as long as you never drop the thing, you’ll never find out how much head and cylinder damage can cost, especially if the engine is running when it happens.”
"My husband always comments about the vulnerability of the cylinders on the boxer engine, but if he’s really that concerned, a trip to the accessories catalog can get him the engine protection bars to protect the heads and the jugs from ’minor’ tip-overs; of course, nothing is going to help if you crash it. I think the bars also add to the appearance of off-road readiness, as if they needed any help on that front. Of course, I’d have to add the whole shebang of Vario aluminum cases. Who goes on an adventure without storage capabilities?"

Not all peanuts are the same. Currently, there are four different varieties of peanuts in the market: Virginia, Spanish, Runner and Valencia.
Virginia peanuts are most commonly eaten as whole peanuts for snacking, and Spanish peanuts are typically used in candy and confections.
Runner peanuts are used to make most of the commercial peanut butter brands. Runner kernels are very uniform in size, making it easy to roast evenly and make a consistent product. However, these commercial peanut butter brands usually add sugar and hydrogenated vegetable oil to "improve" the flavor and consistency of the peanut butter.
Valencia peanuts on the other hand, have smaller kernels (you can find three or more in each shell). They are sweeter and oilier than Virginia or Runner peanuts, which makes them perfect for all-natural peanut butter. We don't need to add any sweetener or extra oil. Also, they are less likely to contain mold.
Valencia peanuts grow in bushes above the ground, (as opposed to the other peanut varieties, which grow partially buried under the soil), and they are cultivated mostly in New Mexico and the Southwest of the United States. The dry climate and growth habit of the plants, make valencia peanuts less susceptible to aflatoxins (the toxin produced by the Aspergillus mold).
Mold can still grow on any peanut if these are not stored properly. But at East Wind Nut butters, we make sure to always get the highest quality nuts, and we immediately store our peanuts in our climate-controlled warehouse.
