A lot has happened in terms of research on the coronavirus. Here is a quick overview on what might be useful or interesting information:
Nutritional supplements that have evidence to be protective
- Vitamin D3
- Vitamin C
Some sources: The role of vitamin D in the prevention of coronavirus disease 2019 infection and mortality, Focus on Vitamin D, Does vitamin D status impact mortality from SARS-CoV-2 infection?, The role of diet and nutritional supplements during COVID-19, What is known about supplements, medications and metabolic risk factors?
An entire document that collects sources on supplements and the coronavirus can be found here. As far as I know the evidence for Vitamin D is strongest. Obviously, the overall evidence is still weak and there is a lot of confounding going on, as people with Vitamin D deficiency are often frail irrespective of their Vitamin D status (there are ways to control for that). But: The personal cost of taking these supplements is very low. I recommend you take them.
The most relevant transmission route seems to be airborne. Especially speaking, shouting, and singing seem to be activities that shed lots of infectious droplets. Simple breathing may be less problematic. One possible explanation is that speaking causes the formation and shedding of lots of droplets form the upper respiratory tract, whereas breathing would rather shed particles from the lower respiratory tract. This difference between lower and upper respiratory tract shedding may also be key to understanding how asymptomatic transmissions can happen even without coughing or sneezing.
Being outside is a strong protective factor, but I hope you know that by now.
More evidence and useful information on face masks
- There is growing consensus and evidence that face masks play a significant role in controlling the epidemic on a population level. Here is a thread that collects current evidence
- This video shows particle shedding from a person talking with and without a mask.
- fixthemask.com gives instructions on how to improve the fit of your homemade mask (also see video below)
- if you’re tired of wearing straps behind your ears, have a look at these strain relievers. If you want to have a couple of these, contact me and I’ll send them to you.

Right from the start up at Haridwar till our return, we had lovely time with Blue Poppy Holiday with all their arrangements. It will be difficult to find out any lapses in it.
“All credit to the Blue Poppy Team-the guides and the team leader Devkant!”
So enthusiastic and tireless in all respect like taking care of all the participants, all arrangements and his involvement to be with the group on the way of trek from start to finish!
We had enjoyed the road trip from Haridwar to Govindghat enjoying the natural beauty of Himalayas, Alaknanda and its tributaries.
Stay at hotel was good.
The trek from Govindghat to Ghangaria was enjoyable. It was joyous moments all the way enjoying the nature. We were very close to the nature or were mixed with it.
The booklet of flowers and guidance provided us was good on hand helpful stuff to refer regarding the flowers and what are dos / donts in the valley.
The trek was wonderful though it was a bit hard one at starting. We enjoyed every second we spend there with hills, glaciers, trails, streams, flowers, river and mystic peaks. The best of all was the company of Devkant all along the trek rout.
The second day was more better as we went to the extreme deeper of the valley! Devkant will say how deep we were! It was just wonderful trek.
This is a unique valley where you will see – peaks, streams, glaciers, river, lush greenery, flowers and lot more.
Next trip was to Hemkund Sahib and the trek was again wonderful.
We preferred to take all the treks by ourselves only without any pony supports. We enjoyed it.Enjoyed the dip at the holy pond.
On the return to Govindghat and trip to Badrinathji was again
Sone pe suhaga!
In short, I personally had experienced the best of my days in the valley and would love to be again!
All the praise for Blue Poppy Team and the all participants from all over the country and from abroad for this wonderful experience.

Arrival in Africa
I arrived safely in Africa at about 9pm local time last night. There were 20 moderately anxious minutes where I was worried my bag had been lost somewhere between Anchorage and Ougadagou; little did I know the anxiety would get worse before it got better.
When my bag finally dropped onto the carousel, I walked out of the baggage claim expecting to see my wife dancing on her toes. Instead, there were 2 chauffeurs holding signs for guest houses, a few Brits wondering about, and a boutique attendant selling Fanta and crackers. I was one of the last to emerge through customs, and almost everyone from my plane had already left.
“Where is my wife?” She’d said she was on the outskirts of the city when I’d texted with her from the Paris airport. “Was she kidnapped while I was crossing the Mediterranean? Surely not. Is there a different baggage claim she is waiting outside of? The airport is small. Is there a traffic jam that has delayed her? My plane is 2 hours late. Could she have over-napped?”
For over 20 minutes I alternated between sitting patiently and wander around looking for her. Outside the doors a few others were milling about and waiting, and the lights of the shops across the street were dark. Still no Jessie.
My plan had long been to put myself on a very short tether while following her through this part of the world so that I don’t get lost. There had been no plan for not finding her in the first place!
Finally, one of the Brits waved to me from the doorway. “Me?” I gestured back? He nods and waves again. The relief of having been found after beginning to entertain a real-life Tintin-style search for my wife flooded over me. Across the dark street and through a gateway between the closed shops, was the ‘true outside’ of the airport, and my Jessie — dancing on her toes just as I’d imagined.
We hopped in a taxi and compared tales of the anxiety we’d each experienced over the previous hour as we rode to the guest house. She had begun to lose hope as the stream of passengers dwindled. She finally asked one of the Brits who hadn’t yet crossed the imaginary line that divided the security boundary of the airport, “have you seen a lost-looking tall American?”
“Ginger? Yes, I’ll go get him.”
It’s great to be here.

For the past decade, the members of local comedy metal band Testosteroso have been supplementing the crass (and often hilarious) tunes they are known for with meticulous music videos. From the live-action B-movie weirdness of "Chew Toy" to the fully animated cartoon for "Brown Paper Bag," the group has embraced the synchronicity of audio and visual more than any other local band.
To celebrate this achievement, Testosteroso is playing two shows in the coming week, before a hiatus. The first takes place at the Lizard Lounge tomorrow, June 7, with Witness Marker, and the second is next Friday, June 14, at the Kaleidoscope with Avery. We spoke with singer, guitarist and chief videomaker Skot Shaub about why comedy and metal go well together and how to create a "stadium show on a dive bar budget."
These next two shows are being advertised as the last for the near future. Is this “until next time” or the end of the band?
Well, two of the guys are having kids. I think I might switch gears to something else, too, so we’ve been trying to put a lot into these last two shows.
How do these Testosteroso shows differ from ones you and the guys have put on in the past?
It’s a lot of work. These are celebrating 10 years of doing videos, since we’ve actually been a band longer than a decade. It’s interactive for some parts of the show, and every song has a corresponding video that I have to queue up while playing with a foot switch. So, it’s been cool, but, yeah, a lot of work.
If you don’t mind giving away some of the secrets, how does the interactive aspect of the show work?
So, it’s a two hour show with videos that we either made for specific songs or ones that we created especially for the show. In the middle of the set, there’s an air guitar contest. We give everyone these “Guitar Hero” controllers and they have to give their guitar performance, while our guitar player plays what he thinks they’re playing. Depending on how good or bad they are, I have a cue to push a button out of, like, ten different videos. Anything from Jimi Hendrix playing at Woodstock to that one video of Lil’ Wayne playing guitar from a while ago.
What I love about the videos is that they all have very different styles – some are animated and some are more special-effects heavy. Could you walk me through the general process of a video, from start to finish?
We actually storyboard everything, which is another part that going to school helped with. During the last batch of videos, we actually wrote the videos out while we were writing the songs, so we knew what the visuals would be. Like, for example there’s one video called “Deuce of Hazard.” My drummer helped me write that because he does a spoken word part when I’m not singing. While we were writing the song, we were writing what would happen in the video. Because it was animated, it took a really long time, almost six months until it was done. Even if the video is live-action, I’ll do an animatic to see if all the gags will fit in the video. It’s happened before where we’ve tried to put too much in a video and then there was tons of extra footage that we couldn’t use. This is all done with me and, like, two people.
You’ve mentioned doing something different after these two shows. Do you think the focus will be music, video or something else entirely?
I’m not sure yet. I think I’m going to take a little time. With Testo, there’s such a catalog that I want to start really fresh. I don’t know, I like that it’s funny and everything, but I want to try to write something serious. It wouldn’t work to write “serious” Testo material. I don’t know. I think the joke is that most people would try to write a funny song and do it very quickly, but we wanted to take a lot of work. Like, spending six months animating food characters coming out of a colon.
Do you think there’s a reason why the genre of metal is so ripe for comedy?
It’s because even the bands that are serious about it are so – it’s like, I really liked Kiss, but I also think they are one of the worst bands ever. There’s a part of me that really likes it, because it’s so cheesy. Some people get that, some people don’t. I think it’s because it’s a bunch of people who are just trying so hard to look tough and masculine, and it’s just really dumb. That’s actually where the band name originated from. Not that I don’t like them, but take Metallica – it’s full of metal, right? Well, Testosteroso is full of testosterone. It’s stupid.
Do you get more gratification from playing live or creating videos and putting them out?
I think content making is more gratifying. It’s tough. I mean, when we have a good show, we have a really good show. But it’s tough to get people out, especially at our age. As we get older, our fans are having kids and they can’t go out. And even if they did, they’d be leaving by, like, 9 [laughs]. So these shows are like one last big thing, because of all the work that I put into it. But it’s always going to be up on YouTube. I think having physical albums and videos is more gratifying than playing out.
A majority of the Testosteroso videos are self-contained stories in the span of three to six minutes. Have you ever wanted to do a short film or collection of videos with a single storyline?
Kind of. We always come up with these big concepts and then scale them back because we get tired. For the last album, we were going to do five videos where they would continuously lead to the next one. It wasn’t necessarily one storyline, but one would sort of blend into the next one. We ended up just making one-minute teaser videos.
Have you ever been put on bills with other metal bands who either didn't get the joke, or vice-versa?
It’s weird, we’ve been put on bills with comedy bands where we didn’t fit. We opened for Dean Ween once, and I love Ween. We’re huge fans, and they hated us. They didn’t think it was funny at all. But then we’ve played with metal bands where I thought they’d think we were idiots, and they ended up loving us. Probably for the wrong reasons, though, they probably thought we were being serious. It’s kind of weird to have people like what you do, but for the wrong reasons.
When you were making the setlist for these shows, were there songs that jumped out at you as having gotten more or less funny over time?
Mostly just less funny. But there’s stuff that, looking back, I think, wow, I did that, that is cool. I think the last two albums are really good lyrically, even if they are a little crass. But then, there’s a song on our first album that I refuse to play. It’s one of the few songs with videos that we aren’t playing for the shows. We used to do things for the sake of shocking people, and then as I got older, I think, “This isn’t funny, it’s stupid.” Now I get offended more, and I know that sounds bad, but there’s things that, when I was younger, I just didn’t give a s---. And now I think, “Oh, maybe that was in bad taste.”
Testosteroso plays at the Lizard Lounge tomorrow, June 7 and at the Kaleidoscope on Friday, June 14. Click here for more information on the band and both shows.

The Royal Mint has announced the launch of a highly-collectable new set of 50p coins to celebrate Britain’s contribution to the discovery of dinosaurs.
The new collection of coins, titled The Dinosauria Collection, uses the latest colour printing techniques available to vividly show three dinosaur species – megalosaurus, iguanodon and hylaeosaurus – and also utilises cutting-edge AR technology to bring the prehistoric creatures to life.
It’s the first time the technology has been deployed by the Royal Mint and it lets collectors scan the packaging into the Royal Mint’s ‘Activate’ app to unearth facts, clips and images about the dinosaur featured on the coin.
The Dinosauria Collection is the work of experts at the Natural History Museum in conjunction with the Royal Mint.
It’s name is a nod to British anatomist Sir Richard Owen, the founder of the Natural History Museum, who coined the term ‘dinosauria’ in 1842 after discovering the fossils of the three featured dinosaurs.
Clare Maclennan, Divisional Director of Commemorative Coins at the Royal Mint, said: “As one of the nation’s most loved tourist attractions remains closed, we are pleased to partner with the Natural History Museum to bring dinosaurs to life from the comfort of your home.”
“It is the first time that The Royal Mint has combined augmented reality with a coin series as we continue to innovate and enrich the experience of coin collecting.”
“Simply by scanning the packaging our customers will be able to access exclusive content which celebrates Britain’s role in the discovery of dinosaurs, brings the animals to life through animation and explores the intricate details of each coin.”
Speaking on the expected popularity of this collection of coins, Rachel Hooper of Changechecker, said earlier this year: “We expect these coins to be very popular with collectors, especially considering this is the first time ever dinosaurs have featured on a UK coin.”
“Looking back at the popularity of previous 50p series such as the 2012 Olympic 50ps and the Beatrix Potter coins from 2016, 2017 and 2018, we would expect demand for these new coins to be high as collectors look to add all three to their collection.”
You can find out more information and purchase coins from The Dinosauria Collection via the Royal Mint website here.

The Great Fairies of Hyrule love a bit of music in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and to wake up one of these lovely creatures, you'll need to seek out the Stable Trotter's drummer.
Beetz the drummer isn't the easiest fellow to find, even with a hint and a location marked on your map. But once you hear the beat of the drum, you'll be sent on a wild honey chase in the Honey, Bee Mine Side Adventure. You need to complete this quest to finish the Serenade to Cotera Side Adventure.
If you haven't unlocked Tera yet, you'll need to complete Serenade to a Great Fairy first. If you're looking for the other Great Fairy Fountains, check out our All Great Fairy Fountain Locations guide.
Here's where to find Beetz the drummer, how to find courser bee honey, and how to complete Honey, Be Mine.
Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom: Where To Find The Drummer - Honey, Bee Mine Walkthrough
Where to find Beetz the drummer and Honey, Bee Mine?
If you've spoken to Mastro and Violynne at Dueling Peaks Stable and grabbed the Serenade to Cotera Side Adventure, they should've told you that Beetz is near Kakariko Village. The exact coordinates are 2165, -1382, 0109.
Warp to Kakariko (Makasura Shrine, another tricky shrine) and jump down into the village. Follow the path to the far southeast until you reach Kakariko Bridge. You'll hear some drumming. Climb over the cliff face to your left to find Beetz beating his drum. Talk to him to get the Honey, Bee Mine Side Adventure.
How to complete Honey, Bee Mine?
Beetz wants three helpings of courser bee honey to make some honey crepes. Sounds tasty, and if you kept that honey from The Hornist's Dramatic Escape, then you're in luck. If not, follow Beetz's suggestion and head to the forest above Kakariko village.
There are a few places you can find courser bee honey, and we'll list a few below:
Where to find courser bee honey
The best place to find this less-than-common ingredient is in the forest right by Kakariko Village Chasm. It's a fairly big patch, but you should be able to find the honest easily hanging from the trees.
Lastly, Hyrule Field has a large number of tree patches dotted around the place. The best place in this area to look for bee honey is Windvane Meadow, which is southwest of Lookout Landing.
All forests across Hyrule have a chance of spawning honey, you just need to look and listen for that distinctive buzzing. Either hop up and grab them, knock them off with an arrow, or use Ultrahand to pick them up. You'll have to fend off the bees, however.
Once you have them, head back to Beetz, hand the honey over, and claim your 100 Rupee reward. Warp back to Dueling Peaks Stable when you're ready to move on.
That's the first Great Fairy unlocked. Don't forget to check out their locations on the map in our Great Fairy Locations guide. And we have more hints and tips in our Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom walkthrough.

Do dying patients have a right to know that further medical care is pointless?
Members of the California Assembly think so. Last month, they OK'd a bill making it mandatory for health care providers to give honest and full answers to terminally ill patients who want to know just where they stand.
Lots of doctors think it's best not to square with those patients, either to spare them the supposed mental agony or to let them know they haven't given up hope.
A recent study says they're wrong. Patients whose doctors gave them the bad news were no more depression-prone than those kept in the dark, and they were less likely to die in a hospital tied to a machine. It also cut short expensive but worthless care.
Better still, it gave those patients time to get their last items of business in order.
Medical honesty is, in fact, the best policy with doomed to die patients. It just shouldn't require a law to make it so.

Closing the Health Equity Gap Through SDoH Partnerships
- Date: 08/27/2020
In the last few years, the phrase “your zip code matters more than your genetic code” has floated around the…
"Families one catastrophe away from choosing between medication and rent. Transportation options severed, cutting off access to health care. Children’s dental care only accessible more than 50 miles away.
These are all snapshots detailed in the Innovia Foundation’s new community needs and opportunity assessment for the Lewis-Clark Valley Healthcare Foundation.
The report used community surveys and forums and compiled health data to gather a collective picture of what the three-state, nine-county region needs, health or otherwise. The region covers the fairly rural Idaho counties – Latah, Clearwater, Nez Perce and Lewis – along with Asotin and Garfield counties in Washington and Wallowa County in Oregon.
The community needs assessment highlighted residents’ challenges with many social determinants of health, including low wages, high cost of living and housing affordability."

Good Morning! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Saturday we took our girls apple picking; SO FUN!!! Then yesterday, my hubby took our 5 year old to a friend's house to watch football, so I could have some uninterrupted "stamping time". Wasn't that sweet?!? I was able to get a lot of design team work done for The Rubber Cafe and had a chance to do some fun stamping. I made this card for Taylor's Cupcake Challenge this week. You can view her challenge here. In addition to a sketch challenge, Taylor also wanted to see what our stamps were saying or thinking, so I came up with this. The image is called Wagon Full Of Blessings by High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I used my computer to print out the sentiment, "But Dad, Can't You Pull Her?". I can just picture the little boy getting sick of pulling his little sister around the pumpkin patch...LOL!!! I colored the image in with Prismacolor Pencils and blended with Gamsol and a stump. I used some new patterned paper that I picked up from my LSS. It's called Summer Fading and it is part of the Reminisce Enchanted Autumn Collection. The bottom layer of Old Olive cardstock is embossed with the Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirl Embossing Folder and the pumpkin twill ribbon is from Taylored Expressions. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a wonderful Monday!

Spokeswoman Mary Matalin said that Cheney's doctor, Jonathan Reiner, reported that the vice president's high-tech pacemaker "continues to function flawlessly and has not detected nor treated any arrhythmia."
The device, implanted in Cheney's chest in June 2001, is designed to monitor his heart and if necessary adjust its rhythm.
Matalin said after the exam, Cheney returned to his normal workday outside the White House. Cheney has been staying at a secure undisclosed location since President Bush put the nation on high alert earlier this week. Matalin said Reiner reported that Cheney will "continue to live a vigorous lifestyle."
Cheney has had four heart attacks, none as vice president.

Liveable Art: Stories of Done Art and Design at Casula Powerhouse
In his heyday, Australian artist Ken Done established something of an empire – including 15 shops and more than 150 staff – proving that well-regarded art could be lucrative too. Now, Done’s life and work are being celebrated in a 10-week-long exhibition at the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre, showcasing art and memorabilia from his 40-year career.
Liveable Art: Stories of Done Art and Design brings together a large collection of brightly hued designs from Done’s past artistic catalogue, featuring clothing, accessories, stationery and homewares – think signature Ken Done mugs, doona covers, T-shirts and tea towels. The arts centre has reached out to collectors (both international and Australian) of Done’s pieces, and they’ll be sharing their memories and experiences of the artist alongside a display of his designs.
A second exhibition called Paintings You Probably Haven’t Seen: Selected Works 2000–2020 showcases some of Done’s relatively unseen, more recent works. In this display, you’ll find a curated selection of paintings (mainly from his own private collection) heavily inspired by close personal relationships and his home on Sydney’s Chinamans Beach.
And if you’d like to get some insight from the artist himself, An Evening with Ken Done is a conversational sit-down event on July 31 delivering just that. Accompanied by archival footage, the artist will reflect on his colourful life, sharing stories about his art career (which he launched full-time at age 40) and family life.
Liveable Art: Stories of Done Art and Design and Paintings You Probably Haven’t Seen: Selected Works 2000–2020 open on July 24 and run until October 3. Entry is free.

The chocolate blackout cake is not just another chocolate cake, but the enfant gâté of cakes. Noble in appearance, its name − as heavy as history − foreshadows what is going to happen to you when you bring it in contact with your demanding palate. A blackout! It’s impossibility for chocolate lovers not to know it, and if some have not had the honour to try it yet, we will take care of that. Blackout cake of the three “hellish” layers, coated with cake crumbs as a last “touch,” can satisfy the most demanding of chocolate-lovers.
The cake comes from Brooklyn, and the credit goes to the bakery – no longer in existence − that belonged to German immigrants, George and Catherine Ebinger. The company was first founded in 1898 and soon more than 50 branches blossomed in the neighbourhoods of New York, to shape many generations (there, in the streets of New York we also encountered the flourishing of the donuts). The chocolate Blackout cake was the Ebingers’ “pride”, along with other cakes, biscuits and tarts.
Godfather of the chocolate blackout cake was a heinous and inhuman situation, and one which does not bring sweetness to our minds, whose name was WWII. The beloved bakery was situated opposite Brooklyn’s shipyard, from which American warships were departing to war – thus right in the heart of the events.
During the war the Civilian Defense Corps instituted black-outs, so that ships sailing off to battle could not be spotted by enemy planes (a frequent occurrence during the war). City lights were turned off and civilians covered windows with black cloth. Given these black-outs, that often plunged the city into total darkness, the equally dark cake was thus baptised.
During its first decades, the reputation of the chocolate blackout cake and demand for it were rose rapidly, while many bakers tried to imitate its unique taste − though in vain. The exact recipe of the Ebingers is still unknown. In 1972, the bakery went bankrupt, and the status of the favourite cake began to fade. House freezers hosted as many as they could accommodate and soon blackout chocolate cake became an antique cake in the eyes of the young, who had heard of its divine flavour from their grandparents, among other historical narratives.
Of the many recipes which succeeded the original, some have approached the authentic taste, while others have failed miserably, sometimes because of the ingredients, and often because of excessive sweetness. We introduce and recommend to you the version of the chocolate blackout cake that we created after many many tests. When served, it indeed causes a certain “blackout”! If you are a loyal fan of vanilla or other sweet flavours we have created an emergency exit for you!
The chocolate blackout cake is suitable as a birthday cake, or for situations in which you choose to impress with one main ingredient, instead of using glaze bows and inflatable colours. Its dark top is made of crumbled chocolate sponge “glued” with chocolate custard, so you can easily create a relief for visual effect by cutting a paper in any shape you want (use standard A4 copy paper), covering the part of the custard you want to remain as an ornament when spreading the crumbs. Remove the paper and you will have on top of the cake a dazzling, yet classy, “ton sur ton” design (see picture).
Blackout sponge cake is also beautiful when made square, though the original American version of the Ebinger bakery had a tall, tower-like shape, one which is not to our taste. The majority of the Anglo-Saxon recipes give instructions for building the characteristic towers of 18-20 cm in diameter, with a height larger than the base. If you prefer that design, we recommend your using a 20 cm springform tin (the one in the picture is 25cm). You can make a square chocolate blackout cake measuring 32 x 25 cm by increasing the ingredients by half.
Although the recipe results in the absolute chocolate taste and is extremely addictive, its sweetness is not cloying. If you are a fan of super-sweet cakes, you may increase the sugar of the custard up to 400 gr (not more). In that case, increase proportionally the cocoa powder and the cornflour (not the water).
The authentic American version for the chocolate blackout cake has golden syrup instead of honey. However, this substitution of ingredients does not affect the final result. Finally, a serving platter in line with the idea of “blackout”, or a neutral dish, will highlight the cake and the sensation it creates.
A devilish recipe that everybody likes, even those who are not chocolate fans. As for the chocolate lovers, they will definitely fixate on the cake!
Chocolate blackout cake
Preparation: About 1 hour plus time to chill. It is recommended to prepare the dessert the day before and to refrigerate the chocolate custard overnight. Assemble on the day and preserve the cake in the refrigerator until served. Use a springform tin 20-25 cm diameter (up to 26 cm the most) or 3 equal in size flan tins. Medium difficulty recipe but easier than what it looks. Not quick. Follow carefully the steps.
Ingredients (for 12-16 pieces, depending on the size of the springform tin)
200 g caster (superfine) sugar
100 g unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus extra for greasing
5 drops vanilla extract
50 g cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
180 g plain (all-purpose) flour
180 ml milk
1 pinch of salt
for the chocolate custard
600 ml water or milk
260 g caster (superfine) sugar
2/3-1 tbsp clear honey or golden syrup
3 tbsps cocoa powder
3 tbsps cornflour
60 g butter, cut into small cubes
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 170-180oC. Butter a 23-25 cm springform tin or 3 flan tins.
To prepare the chocolate base: Using a mixer or hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy (4-5 minutes). Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Lower speed at minimum and beat in cocoa powder, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, salt and half the flour. From this point is recommended to use a whisk or spatula and mix by hand. Whisk in or beat in the remaining flour. Continue whisking or beating in low speed until there are no lumps of flour. Pour in milk (in low speed, if using an electric mixer) until all ingredients are well incorporated (do not over mix).
Alternatively: On the above process add only the egg yolks and beat the egg whites to firm peaks. Fold egg whites in the flour mixture, working quickly, but do not over mix.
Pour the cake mixture into the prepared springform tin or divide it between the 3 prepared flan tins and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes (or until a toothpick or fine skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean). Remove the cake and allow to cool in the springform or tins, then turn out gently onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Note: You can use metal flan rings, round or square, that rest over an aluminum foil, without buttering. Aluminum foil is more flexible and easy to use than baking sheet and when inverted, cakes are removed easier.
To prepare the chocolate custard: Pour water, sugar, honey or golden syrup and cocoa powder in a large pan over medium heat and bring the mixture into boiling temperature, whisking several times.
In a separate bowl, mix cornflour with 150 ml water to a thick mixture (like diluted white wood glue). If too thick, add 30-50 ml water. Pour into the cocoa mixture and stir for a few minutes over medium heat until it will reach boiling temperature again and completely thicken. Remove from the heat and add butter and vanilla extract and mix to incorporate.
Pour chocolate custard in a bowl, cover with cling film pressing it onto to the surface (to avoid forming a crust), allow to cool and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours (when required it must be cold and thicker).
To assemble the chocolate cake: Gather crumbs from the bottom and walls of the springform tin and cut a very thin layer (2-3 mm) from the cake. Crumble with a mortar or mixer.
Place cake on a board and slice in three equal pieces horizontally.
If using 3 round flans, turn out one of the cakes. If using square tins, slice the cake pieces with sharp knife or dental floss in three equal pieces horizontally.
Note: Βefore crumbling, bake cake pieces in the oven at 100oC for 10 minutes to dry them out so that they won’t stick to each other.
Place one cake piece on the serving dish and spread with spatula 1/3 of the cold chocolate custard plus a little more. Place the second cake piece on top and spread with another 1/3 of chocolate custard and then place on top the third cake and spread on top and sides the rest of the custard. Sprinkle on top the crumbs. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Note on how to layer the custard: The two bottom cakes are spread with more custard than the top cake (the last one). The last custard layer is topped mainly with chocolate crumbs.
To serve: Serve the blackout chocolate cake cold from the fridge. If the serving dish is not black, dust it with cocoa powder to turn the dish absolutely dark. For an extra chocolate touch we discovered a wonderful choco liquer, Plaisir Noir, to drizzle over the cake pieces or to serve in a shot glass to accompany the dessert.

In an era where travel has become more accessible than ever before, the concept of “blog voyage” has emerged as a powerful medium for sharing experiences, insights, and inspiration from journeys around the globe. Whether it’s through words, images, or videos, these digital platforms serve as windows into the diverse cultures, landscapes, and adventures that await beyond our familiar horizons.
The Essence of Blog Voyage
At its core, a “blog voyage” encapsulates the essence of exploration and storytelling. It’s not merely about documenting destinations visited or ticking off items from a bucket list; rather, it’s about immersing oneself in the essence of each place and capturing the moments that make travel transformative.
1. Personal Narratives: One of the most compelling aspects of blog voyages is the personal touch that bloggers bring to their narratives. Through their unique perspectives and experiences, they offer readers a glimpse into the emotional and cultural tapestry of their travels.
2. Cultural Exchange: Traveling is a two-way street of cultural exchange. Blog voyages foster understanding and appreciation for diverse customs, traditions, and ways of life. They serve as bridges connecting people from different corners of the world, fostering empathy and mutual respect.
3. Practical Guidance: Beyond inspiration, blog voyages also provide practical guidance and tips for fellow travelers. From budget hacks to off-the-beaten-path gems, bloggers share valuable insights to help others navigate their own adventures smoothly.
The Power of Visual Storytelling
In the digital age, visuals play a crucial role in capturing the essence of travel experiences. Through stunning photography, captivating videos, and immersive multimedia content, blog voyages transport viewers to distant lands, igniting their wanderlust and fueling their curiosity.
1. Photography: A picture is worth a thousand words, and in the realm of blog voyages, photographs serve as windows into the soul of a destination. From breathtaking landscapes to candid moments of daily life, each image tells a story and evokes emotions that transcend language barriers.
2. Video Content: With the rise of platforms like YouTube and Instagram, video content has become increasingly popular in the world of travel blogging. Through vlogs, travel guides, and cinematic montages, bloggers bring their adventures to life, offering viewers a dynamic and immersive journey.
3. Interactive Experiences: Some blog voyages go beyond traditional storytelling formats, offering interactive experiences such as virtual reality tours or 360-degree panoramas. These innovative approaches allow audiences to explore destinations in unprecedented ways, fostering a deeper connection with the places they visit.
Navigating the Digital Landscape
In a saturated digital landscape, standing out as a travel blogger can be challenging. However, authenticity, creativity, and consistency remain key ingredients for success.
1. Authenticity: Authenticity is the cornerstone of effective storytelling. Bloggers who share genuine experiences, thoughts, and emotions resonate more deeply with their audience, fostering trust and loyalty over time.
2. Creativity: With millions of travel blogs vying for attention, creativity is essential for capturing audience interest. Whether it’s through unique storytelling formats, innovative content strategies, or creative collaborations, thinking outside the box can help bloggers carve out their niche in the competitive digital space.
3. Consistency: Building a successful blog voyage requires dedication and consistency. Regularly publishing high-quality content, engaging with followers, and staying true to one’s voice and vision are essential for maintaining momentum and growing a loyal audience base.
Embracing the Spirit of Adventure
In essence, a blog voyage is more than just a collection of travel stories; it’s a celebration of the human spirit of adventure and curiosity. It’s about stepping out of comfort zones, embracing the unknown, and discovering the beauty and diversity of our world.
Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or an armchair explorer, blog voyages offer a window into the wonders of our planet, inspiring us to dream, explore, and connect with the world around us. So, embark on your own virtual journey, and let the adventures begin!

In its annual Winter Fuels Outlook released Wednesday, the U.S. Energy Information Administration forecasts that average expenditures for households that use heating oil will be higher this winter than any previous winter on record. Americans who heat with natural gas, electricity and propane can expect increases as well.
EIA projects that average household expenditures in the Northeast will increase 19.5 percent for heating oil, 21.4 percent for natural gas, 6.4 percent for electricity and 14.5 percent for propane.
Compared with last winter, that translates into an average bill increase of about $407 for heating oil, $178 for natural gas, $79 for electricity and $347 for propane. The EIA averages total bills at $2,494, $1,010, $1,331 and $2,733, respectively.
But the larger bills have more to do with weather than prices. In fact, electricity prices are expected to drop 3.5 percent and propane prices 1 percent in the Northeast. Prices are projected to rise 2 percent for heating oil and 4 percent for natural gas.
"If we even have a normal winter this year, people will spend more than last year because last year was so warm," said Wendy Wolff, owner of Timmons Oil in Orrstown. "If someone used 400 gallons last year, they might use 600 this year.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's most recent projection, the Northeast will be about 2 percent warmer than the 30-year average - which is based on data taken from 1971 through 2000.
While warmer than average, that means it will be 20 to 27 percent colder than last winter in the Northeast.
"I can remember when I lived in Harrisburg and it was 29 cents a gallon for heating oil," said Waynesboro resident Michael Kohler, 69, who was referring to the 1960s. "Now it's around $3."
He now uses electricity to heat his house and makes monthly payments to his power company, so he doesn't expect this winter to take a big toll on his budget.
Corwell said she thinks it's time to stop making excuses about fuel prices and let American oil companies tap domestic reserves.
"They always blame the prices on something that happens," she said.
Chambersburg resident John Gongloff - who borrowed $14,000 against his retirement funds to put in a geothermal heat pump 17 years ago - saw his average monthly electric bills drop from $400 to $150 a month in the winter.
Gongloff, 67, said the investment has more than paid for itself, but it can be hard to come up with the money to make such a change.
While Kohler isn't concerned about his own heating bills this winter, he said that doesn't mean the costs don't matter to him.
"I'm concerned about other people's lives," he said. "I know there are people who have to decide between food, medicine and heating."
Stay warm, stay safe
Chambersburg Fire Department offers these tips:
- Have your chimney checked and cleaned before turning on the heat this fall. Cleaning will remove dirt and creosote that can build up and cause a chimney fire.
- Place space heaters at least three feet away from any combustible items and away from pets and children. Always turn off space heaters before leaving the room or going to sleep.
- Kerosene heaters should never be used inside a structure.
- Anyone who heats with natural gas, fuel oil, propane, kerosene, wood stoves, or uses a fireplace should have a carbon monoxide detector. Carbon monoxide is tasteless, colorless and odorless. Check your detectors regularly because without advance warning from a functioning alarm you can be overcome.
- If you smell natural gas or hear a hissing sound, open a window and evacuate the building. Turn off the gas using the outside main valve and call the fire department from a neighbor's house.

Keep in mind, I’m not complaining about these — they’ve been a Gunn staple since 2006’s Slither — but never have his style been so omnipresent than in The Suicide Squad. This is what happens when a director is given complete creative freedom on a no-holds-barred comic book film, and it’s absolutely glorious.
The cast of The Suicide Squad (which acts as a sequel/reboot to the 2016 film of a similar title) is littered with colorful characters, cherry-picked from the DC Comics by Gunn for their particular, oftentimes wacky, skills. TDK (Nathan Fillion), Blackguard (Pete Davidson), Savant (Michael Rooker) and Javelin (Flula Borg) are among the supervillains recruited by big-time government suit Amanda Waller (a returning Viola Davis) and Colonel Rick Flag (Joel Kinnamen) to liberate an island that recently experienced a violent coup and a change of leadership. No one is safe, and anyone could die at any moment — so don’t get attached.
Unfortunately, I fear that The Suicide Squad has been overhyped by the stellar early reactions. Mark my words, it’s a great movie and a really fun experience, but early reviews and pre-screening reactions made it out to be one of the best comic book movies of all time, a sentiment I’m not sure I’d agree with. It certainly benefits from its R rating (anything that could be present in an R-rated movie, The Suicide Squad has it) and James Gunn’s unique approach to character and story, even including some experimental tactics that pay off wonderfully. I must admit I did go in with unreasonable expectations, inspired by the aforementioned internet reviews, and I wasn’t exactly disappointed but I came away wanting something more.
I don’t know how I could’ve gotten more — The Suicide Squad literally has everything — but I think this is a lesson that applies for most viewing experiences: going in blind will produce the purest opinion, untainted by prior reading or (potentially) unrealistic expectations. I often find myself checking Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB numbers, much to my own chagrin, desiring to know what to expect from a film, when I should be patiently waiting to form my own thoughts. Hopefully The Suicide Squad is the last victim of my over-inflation of expectations.
I can’t finish this review without mentioning Peter Capaldi, who is essentially playing Malcolm Tucker if he were an evil super-genius, and Margot Robbie, returning to do her thing as Harley Quinn for the third time. They’re major parts of the film, but I don’t have too much to say about them beyond that they’re doing great work. I hope we get to see more post-Doctor Who genre work from Capaldi, and Robbie’s incarnation of Harley Quinn is undoubtedly the best ever portrayed on screen.
If there are things to be learned from The Suicide Squad, it’s that highly creative filmmakers like James Gunn produce their best work with unbridled innovative freedom, and that R-rated DC movies get to showcase the best they have to offer.
Just think about it, the best DC movies of the last decade have been rated R — Joker, Birds of Prey, Zack Snyder’s Justice League…I’m beginning to think this may be the future of DC. Marvel has found a nice PG-13 niche, while DC works best on a mature level. If you had told me when Batman v Superman came out in 2016 that five years later I’d be seeing King Shark rip people in half and the Thinker being ripped apart by a titanic starfish, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. Superhero films have gotten much more adventurous this decade, and I already love it.
There’s a lot to love in The Suicide Squad, which is partly why it works as an experience as well as simply a film. It might fall just short of a masterpiece, but that is in no way a detriment. By God, James Gunn has done it again. [Grade: A]

The World Health Organization's Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP) has been developed with the aims of training and capacity building in order to deliver services for people with mental, neurological and substance use disorders for countries especially with low and middle income. According to the WHO “Mental, neurological and substance use disorders are common in all regions of the world, affecting every community and age groups across all income countries. While 14% of the global burden of disease is attributed to these disorders, most of the people affected -75% in many low-income countries- do not have access to the treatment they need”.
Kashmir has been going through conflict since 1947 and in the last 25 years there has been armed conflict which has led to many fold increase in mental disorders. Conflict is ongoing and people continue to suffer, with limited access to mental health services. There is only one psychiatric hospital based in capital Srinagar with 25 to 30 psychiatrists for the whole population of Kashmir valley (approximately 800,000 people). Given the system is very centralized, there are not any psychiatric services at the primary care level and there is very limited access to psychiatrists at the district level.
District Mental Health Program
The District Mental Health Program, part of the National Mental Health Program, is the flagship program for mental health intervention in India. It is the first initiative to move away from institutionalization to community care by collaborative arrangement with strong community participation, linkages with voluntary sector and civil society initiatives,with academic institutions from inter disciplinary backgrounds and use of private sector knowledge and skill base with adequate safeguards against commercial interests prevailing over public interests.
The overall objectives are:
- To deliver a standardized mhGAP training to prescribers and non-prescribers working in primary care settings in Kashmir
- To increase participants’ confidence and skills in the assessment, diagnosis and management of the priority conditions prioritized by mhGAP
- To increase participants’ skills in a range of training techniques, facilitators and supervision skills, identifying a pool of local mhGAP champions
- To raise the profile of mental healthcare among primary care workers
The innovation works alongside the District Mental Health Program to use a decentralized community based approach to the problem by:
- Training the mental health team at the identified nodal institutes within the state
- Increasing awareness about mental health problems and effective health seeking patterns
- Providing adequate services to promote early detection and treatment of mental illness in the community itself with both outpatient and indoor treatment and appropriate follow up measures
- Collecting data and experience for future planning, research and improving service provision
Further it seeks to take the mhGAP training program one step further by evaluating the training. This element is an innovative feature, one that other mhGAP programs do not usually include.
3 Phases of Training in Kashmir
To date there have been 3 phases of training in Kashmir as part of this innovation, supported by the Director of Health Kashmir:
Preliminary Primary Care Training (September 2013)
A two-week preliminary primary care training was conducted for 120 health professionals from all over Kashmir in September 2013. The training was delivered by a team of UK, Kashmiri and Dutch psychiatrists and psychologists who were recruited from the Royal College of Psychiatrists Volunteering and International Psychiatry Special Interest Group.
Secondary Care Training (August 2014)
The second phase was coordinated by the secondary care level to link primary and secondary levels of care effectively. This phase included new participants from secondary care and from the private sector. The training specifically focused on the child development modules of the mhGAP.
Pilot Program in Ganderbal District (August 2014)
Following a series of meetings over 2013-2014, a steering group was formed for development and implementation of the pilot project in the Ganderbal district. This steering group was essential in preparing an extensive background sketch for the implementation of the pilot.
Training was repeated in August 2014 and focused on primary care physicians in Ganderbal district. The meeting was held with the Chief Medical Officer, the Block Medical Officer and medical officers of the Ganderbal district to establish a robust supervision, monitoring and evaluation system over the following year as per supervision and monitoring framework. The BMO and MO were identified as supervisors.
The objectives of the pilot training program were:
- To train all GPs in the Ganderbal district of Kashmir (India) in mhGAP implementation guide tool
- To implement the mhGAP based integrated mental health primary care service in Ganderbal
- To implement a supervision framework for 1 year for GPs in Ganderbal

So I got back from an extended weekend in Rome late last night. It was a wonderful, if exhausting trip. I know, I shouldn't complain. The trip was fraught with adventure (preceded by mishaps) beginning with getting stuck in Frankfurt. We tried to leave, really we did, but it seemed as though the world were conspiring against us! Magnus and Sandra had major traffic issues on the way to Frankfurt and I had the not-so-brilliant idea of meeting them at the airport. As it turned out it would have been faster for them to come all the way into Ffm and pick me up. Then there was a huge traffic jam outside of Mainz. After much deliberation and a few phone calls to the Hahn Airport we aborted our trip and thus missed our flight to Rome! We turned around and went back to my apartment to reconnoitre. The "fastest" and cheapest option was to take a night train to Rome. 18 hours later we finally arrived.
The wedding day went off without a hitch (thank God!). The ceremony took place at a church right in the center of the city on the Piazza Venezia. A beautiful church with a wonderful acoustic. The organist was OK, not fabulous, but adequate. The groom got emotional during "Caro mio ben" and I had a hard time holding together myself! Nearly lost my place, but luckily no one else noticed! The reception was held at an old villa just outside of Rome, there was champagne and yummy hors d'oevres in the lovely garden. Unfortunately, it was a bit chilly. The 3 course dinner was in a pavillion and a lavish dessert and dancing was outside again.
Sunday, was spent having brunch with the Pirates (who had converged on Rome from all over Europe for a reunion by way of the wedding) and walking around Rome. Sandra got to see the Piazza di Spagna for the 6th time this trip! I had a wonderful Granita di Caffè (iced coffee) with whipped cream at one of the most famous Cafes in Rome. We visited the Caravaggio painting of Jesus recruiting Matthew at the church of St. Louis of the French. Close by is the Pantheon, which is one of the most amazing pieces of ancient architecture. It's a place I try to see every time I go to Rome. We met Riccardo and Niki in Trastevere, went for a walk up the hill for a beautiful night-time view of Rome and had dinner in a popular Pizzeria. I know now why it's popular! Yum! Riccardo showed us the place where St. Peter was martyred, which is now the site of the first example of baroque architecture, a little chapel with a relic of St. Peter.
Monday the agenda was to go to the market at Campo de' Fiori for spices, look for yarn in the Jewish quarter (Sandra promised to knit me a bolero with black Angora), and go to the Vatican. We didn't find the yarn, unfortunately, not the season... But we got lots of spices, mmmh. We met Magnus' boss Antonio for lunch near the Campo de' Fiori and he gave us a ride to the Vatican. Once through the metal detectors and in the church of St. Peter we admired the Pietà, by Michelangelo, which is one of the most powerfully beautiful sculptures I have ever seen. Another place I go to repeatedly. We went down into the crypt to St. Peter's sepulchre and saw the tombs of many Popes including Pope John Paul I. We met some friends outside and walked around some more. We stopped at Magnus' favorite bakery and bought enough food to feed an army. It was meant for M, Sandra and I for the trip home that night.
We got back to Ffm very, very late last night and M and S returned to Karlsruhe this morning...
