I wanted a place that would give me easy access to the everyday recipes that I use all the time. You know, those staple recipes you use every couple of weeks for dinner or your very favorite dessert recipes. Rather than using a recipe box, I decided to alter a simple spiral notebook and write my faves in there. I know there are all kinds of apps to do this, but sometimes I just want something pretty to hold in my hands 🙂
I found my notebook at Target. It is just a simple spiral notebook with a couple of dividers. I use the first section for Main Dishes; the other 2 are for Sides and Sweets. It’s a great time to find the perfect notebook with all the school supplies on the shelves ~ you might even find a sale!
First I stamped the mixer and utensils on a white card stock panel and colored them with my Copic markers. The stamps are from A Muse Studio. I added “recipes” with stickers, but you could easily stamp the word instead. I then distressed the entire panel with brown ink, adding more to the edges. I covered the entire front of the notebook with brown striped paper. Then I attached a panel of green patterned paper and brown polka dot paper on top of that. The stamped piece is layered onto the brown polka dot paper. I tied a green corduroy button with brown embroidery floss and attached that along with another button to the bottom right corner. I also added patterned paper to the back of the notebook just to give it a finished look. Add a few pieces of ribbon knotted onto the spiral and you have a cute way to organize those favorite recipes!
Here’s a simple icing recipe that my husband always requests for his birthday. I put it on Angel Food cake and it is amazing!
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 1 lb powdered sugar (or more if needed)
- 1 small ripe peach, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 to 2 Tbsp milk, if needed
Cream butter with your mixer until smooth. Add about 1/4 of the powdered sugar and mix well. Add 1/2 of the peaches and the vanilla, mixing well. Continue to mix in powdered sugar and peaches until the icing reaches a spreadable consistency, adding a little milk if needed.
Just yummy! You can change the fruit to strawberries or raspberries. Or leave out the fruit and add some unsweetened cocoa powder for chocolate icing. Or make it chocolate-raspberry! Or leave out the fruit and add another teaspoon of vanilla for some amazing vanilla icing…use your imagination and just enjoy!!!
Thanks stopping by,
Yum, yum, yum 🙂
Thanks! It is quite yummy 🙂

Could I use canned peaches somehow?
You probably could if you drained them well. The flavor might not be quite as strong, but I think it would work.

Martin Truex Jr.'s crew chief has ‘a few choice words’ with Joey Logano’s
Cole Pearn, crew chief for Martin Truex Jr., approached Todd Gordon, Joey Logano’s crew chief, on pit road after Sunday’s Martinsville race to show his frustration over how Logano raced Truex on the final lap.
Logano shoved Truex out-of-the-way in the final turn. They then made contact again on the frontstretch, allowing Logano to slip across the finish line first.
Pearn said he shared “a few choice words that I probably shouldn’t have.”
“I’m happy I don’t have a baseball bat or a jack handle right now,” Pearn added with a laugh.
“It’s tough to take,” Pearn told NBCSN. “Martin did a good job of racing him clean, worked him over and eventually got him. I guess we shouldn’t have cleared him (out of Turn 2) and given him the chance. Not surprised coming from (Logano), that’s kind of how he drives. Whatever, that’s his choice to make. I guess that’s short track racing. A crappy way to have it being that close and working so hard for this team.”
Gordon told NBCSN that if their roles were reversed he’d be unhappy too.
“But it’s what short track racing is,” Gordon said. “It’s where this all came from.”

University of New Haven professor to testify at congressional briefing
WEST HAVEN — A University of New Haven criminal justice professor is set to testify today at a congressional briefing that will examine improving justice for women and girls, the university said in a release.
Anne Kringen, a former police officer, is considered an expert on racial and gender disparity in policing, police hiring and recruiting, community policing and the organizational structures of police departments, the university said.
The congressional briefing in Washington D.C. is titled “Improving Justice for Women and Girls.”
Kringen is expected to discuss the challenges faced by women working in law enforcement and barriers that females face in the hiring process to become police officers, according to the release. She was the only scholar from New England invited to participate, the university said.
“Only by understanding these issues can we begin to move the discussion in a healthy direction that is oriented toward mutual understanding,” Kringen said in the release.
Experts from American University, UCLA, Michigan State and The Citadel are also expected to testify in front of an audience of more than 100 U.S. senators and representatives as well as their legislative staffs, officials said.
After the briefing, Kringen will develop a manuscript that will be published in a forthcoming special issue of Translational Criminology, the magazine of the Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy at George Mason University, according to the release.
Kringen recently spent a year working within a major metropolitan police department to study its hiring process.
“I can say that the organization, including many members of the command staff, was grateful for the research that I conducted and the recommendations that I made,” she said in the release. “As a result, several rules impacting women within the department were changed.”
This, she says, illustrates that it is not necessarily police departments do not want to diversify.
“Rather, two key problems may make it difficult for agencies to address these issues,” she said in the release. “First, many of the rules related to hiring are outside the control of individual departments. Second, police departments often lack any guidance as to how to best attempt to address limited diversity.”

Euromoney, December 16 2020
Xinja, the neobank launched amid an Australia banking crisis and with a vision to be different, has announced it will quit banking just a year after being licenced to start.
“Please note that Xinja has decided to exit banking business and return its ADI (authorised deposit-taking institution) licence,” said a note on the bank’s home page on the morning of Wednesday December 16, under its usual headline ‘How money should be’.
Two products, the Xinja Bank Account and Xinja Stash Account, will be discontinued on December 23, the bank said.
I first interviewed founder Eric Wilson in 2017, as Commonwealth Bank of Australia was reeling from scandals in its life insurance and financial planning arms, and momentum towards a reputation-shredding royal commission gathered pace.
Wilson himself had come through the ranks at National Australia Bank, running one of its subsidiaries, National Australia Trustees.
A combination of that role and the stories his father-in-law told him about being a bank manager in small bush towns for the Bank of New South Wales 40 years earlier had ingrained in him a sense that banks ought to be doing better with people’s trust.
“The position of a trustee is the highest form of legal obligation you can get,” Wilson told me in Sydney that day. “We managed about A$1 billion ($758 million) of vulnerable people’s money, people who have been hit by a truck or had a brain injury and couldn’t manage it themselves.”
He didn’t see that trust being reflected in modern banking.
“Over 20 years, my industry has not behaved well,” he said then.
He had been discussing the matter with a friend, he recalled; in the end that friend had told him: “Stop whinging and start a bank.”
He did, teaming up with several former Macquarie bankers and others with experience of starting banks in the UK.
The next time I met him, in April 2018, it was clear that the idea of a bank doing things differently had struck a chord: Xinja became the first financial institution in Asia Pacific to raise equity through crowdfunding.
It would go on to raise a total of more than A$5 million through that route, alongside A$45 million from private and institutional investors.
The team was different – and almost cool.
Wilson projected decent calm, while customer innovation officer Van Le was an image of progressive urban style.
Photos from that time of them alongside treasurer Verity Froud look like album covers – Le in ripped jeans, Wilson seated on the wooden benches of a city wharf in the sunset.
But could they actually run a bank?
It took another year before the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (Apra) granted Xinja Bank an unrestricted banking licence in September 2019, after which Xinja launched a saving account called Stash, and said it would add loan products in the first quarter of 2020, starting with overdrafts, then personal loans and home loans.
But that was the problem.
By the time Covid dislocated everything and everyone, Xinja was paying out plenty of interest in its savings products, but unable to start a lending business.

The NORDAM company says it's signed a long-term contract to manufacture more parts for Airbus in Tulsa.
According to a news release, NORDAM will supply Airbus with what it calls anchored honeycomb air-inlet panels for the Leap-1A engine used on the A320neo family of aircraft. The agreement will generate several million dollars of annual revenue, with deliveries beginning early next year, the release states.
The inlets will be manufactured at NORDAM's Interiors & Structures Division in Tulsa. The panels are comprised of graphite-honeycomb composite skins, with laminate profiles and fittings, the company says. The company will ship the assembled panels to the Airbus manufacturing facility in Nantes, France where they'll be attached to the Leap-1A engine inlet assembly.
“We are delighted to partner with Airbus on the A320neo,” NORDAM CEO Meredith Siegfried Madden said while attending the Paris Air Show. “This is our third and largest Airbus structures award, which aligns perfectly with our strategic plan to grow our commercial high-rate production work with high-end customers, and builds on our long-term relationship with Airbus.”
Other Airbus products manufactured or repaired by NORDAM include the A350 XWB cargo-floor crutch and A350 XWB over-wing fairing shim; a variety of flight-control surfaces; and a mix of cabin windows, landing-light and wing-tip lenses in use on the A320 and A320neo, A330 and A330neo, A350 XWB and A380.
NORDAM is one of the world’s largest independently-owned aerospace companies, employing 2,500 people worldwide.

(Centralhatchee) — Orange and black balloons, scarecrows and the smell of freshly cooked popcorn will help set the mood for the Centralhatchee Elementary PTO Fall Festival & Community BINGO game that will be held on Saturday evening, October 19th.
The Fall Festival is open from 5:00 – 7:00 in the old post and beam gym next to the school and BINGO is played in the school cafeteria. All types of traditional carnival games such as Duck Pond, Orange Tree, 2 liter Drink Toss, Cake Walk, Toy Walk and Bull Horn Toss are offered along with many more.
In addition to the numerous games, there will be lots of yummy food available such as hot dogs, cotton candy, snow cones, pop corn and funnel cake! The Fall Festival has been a tradition in the Centralhatchee community for over 50 years.
Mrs. Irma Shelnutt, former teacher and Centralhatchee Principal, reflected on her memories of the late 1940’s. She noted, “The Centralhatchee Fall Festival was well-known in this community as a time that friends and neighbors could come together to have a night of fun. The kids and the adults alike always looked forward to, and enjoyed the festivities.”
Dr. Carol Thomas, current Centralhatchee Principal stated, “It’s enjoyable to see the large crowd of students, parents, grandparents and community members come to enjoy the Fall Festival and BINGO each year. The Centralhatchee Fall Festival provides the community with an affordable night of fun for the entire family. We are thrilled to be a part of this long-held tradition!”
Everyone is invited to attend the Centralhatchee Fall Festival, which is the major fundraiser for the Centralhatchee PTO each year. If you interested in making a donation or assisting with the Fall Festival, feel free to give the school a call for more information at 770-854-4002. (Photo: Stephanie Hyatt)

ALTIMAX ONE S
Feature and benefits
Reliable in wet conditions at higher speeds:
Wide grooves and a large number of gripping edges effectively displace water for responsive handling and enhanced control on wet slippery roads at higher speeds.
Adventurous on dry roads:
This tire is designed in a whole new way – its connected shoulder blocks with added stiffness provides precise steering response, powerful grip and safe, reliable braking performance for everyday driving.
Enjoy extra mileage:
The silica-enriched tread compound and the computer-optimized pattern design enable you to gather more miles thanks to minimized wear-causing distortion. Benefit from the extended tread life that leads to extra miles!
The Visual Alignment Indicator (VAI) signals incorrect wheel alignment:
If the tread wear unevenly over the first 1,000 kilometers, VAI technology signals this to the user. This significantly extends the service life of the tyre.
The Replacement Tire Monitor (RTM) provides added safety:
RTM technology tells the driver in good time when a tyre change is due, which increases safety.
Tyres with high wet grip performance (A or B graded) have shorter braking distances on wet roads and are, therefore, safer in the rain. As with fuel efficiency, the D grade isn’t used and there are no plans to use G.
Tyres account for up to 20% of your vehicle’s fuel consumption so, if you want to get more miles per tank of fuel, you should choose tyres with a high fuel efficiency rating. You will also lower your CO2 emissions. It comes down to rolling resistance i.e. the energy lost when a tyre is moving. The lower the rolling resistance, the less energy is lost and the lower your fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The difference between an A-rated tyre and a G-rated tyre could be as much as 6 litres per 625 miles.
This is the external noise made by the tyre and is measured in decibels. The more filled bars shown on the label, the louder the tyres.

A propane truck overturned on a highway in Seattle on Monday morning. Luckily it didn't explode, and the driver's okay. But it caused massive gridlock for about eight hours. And a lot of people were stuck on the highway. But check this out . . .Three employees in a TACO TRUCK were on their way to their usual spot to set up for lunch. And they got stuck in traffic with everyone else. So after a while, they decided to just open for business on the HIGHWAY instead. It was the only way for people to get food, so it was a huge hit. Drivers got out of their cars and started lining up. The owner of the truck says that's the big benefit of having your business on wheels: "We are ready to serve food everywhere."

Last week I met with a senior executive team to target strategies for boosting their effectiveness. The crumbs of two dozen doughnuts and their scattered sprinkles were center-stage on the conference table. Remember the elementary school nutritionist’s warning that every sugar rush is followed by the inevitable energy crash? It occurred to me that despite knowing better, many leaders still fall into the routine of consuming traditional office staples (like doughnuts and coffee) that ironically sap the mental and physical performance they had hoped to build.
Unhealthy eating is not an isolated issue. At the World Economic Forum this year, nutrition rated among the many hot topics discussed by world leaders. Here in the U.S., Michelle Obama embarked on a personal campaign to battle the epidemic of child obesity. While some organizations ‘get it,’ I’m afraid that far too many business execs fall into the same old energy-depleting eating habits. In fact, few execs I know truly make a connection between the fuel they consume and the oomph they need to get their work done.
So, here’s a quickie refresher: How can we leaders strategically use food to sustain high energy, stamina, and optimal performance? I asked this question to my colleague, Jerianne Heimendinger. She’s a thought leader in her field, counseling executives regarding nutrition and behavior change. Jerianne offered five invaluable tips which I’ve paraphrased here:
- Reach for a glass of water (at least eight every day). OK, we’ve all heard this tactic before, but Jerianne puts a little chemistry behind it. She says that to generate a constant energy supply, the body requires oxygen, fuel, and water. Water helps us efficiently absorb the nutrients we need; yet most people are unknowingly dehydrated. If we count on thirst to signal our need for fluid, we’ve waited too long to take a drink. A proactive, energy-building strategy is to down two glasses of water a half hour before each meal, and a few extra glasses throughout the day. And, when you need a pick-me-up, reach for water first. Often, that sluggishness you’re feeling isn’t served as well with caffeine or sugar; it’s your body saying, “I need water.” Drink up.
- Invest in high quality food. When you cut corners on your food because of cost or convenience, don’t underestimate how much this affects your capacity to lead. Above-average performance requires top-notch fuels. Choose foods which are as close to whole as feasible: whole grains, whole fruits, etc. Even better, eat foods which are organic and in season whenever possible.
- Multitask, sure — but not while you’re eating. Leaders are always busy running from one thing to another and eating is often just another item on our to-do list. When we multitask, however, our bodies aren’t as capable of producing the digestive enzymes we need to fully absorb food’s nutrients. Multitasking puts our physiology in on-demand mode: Our bodies become prepared to either fight or take flight from an encroaching tiger (or cranky customer) when what we really need to do is “rest and digest.” The tip? Focus. If you want food to be an effective source of stamina, rather than indigestion, it pays to take time out to eat mindfully.
- Add gratitude to your menu. Being grateful puts your body into a coherent, restful state, enabling you to digest and utilize food more efficiently. So say your blessings, take a moment to appreciate the presentation of your meal, practice deep breathing … do whatever it takes to get into a space of gratitude while you eat.
- Encourage healthful eating in your organization. Show your employees how much you care about them through energizing food. Put the candy bowl out of sight and replace it with healthy snacks. Promote teaming up so that employees help each other eat high quality foods at lunch. Use incentives to support healthy eating in the workplace. As leader, you’re the role model; demonstrate your commitment to high energy and performance through both your personal eating habits and your sponsorship in the organization.
Like so many of the challenges we face as leaders, taking the time to reflect on what we already knew about healthy eating is a great start. I don’t want to sound like a tyrant to doughnuts and coffee, but when leaders really want to eat to win, we’re better off reaching for a handful of healthy nuts and water. Bottoms up!

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – The last two giant pandas living at the San Diego Zoo in California will be sent to the People’s Republic of China this spring, ending a more than two-decade conservation program that helped bring the black-and-white bears back from the brink of extinction.
The two remaining pandas, Bai Yun and her 6-year-old cub Xiao Liwu, will be sent to China in the coming days after three weeks of goodbyes that culminated over the weekend, the last chance for Californians to see them.
“We knew when we started the program that they were not our bears and that they wouldn’t be staying so that was always in our minds,” the pandas’ keeper, Dallas Dumont, told Reuters.
“But we’re very proud of what we’ve accomplished. We set out to help the species and keep it from going extinct and with our Chinese colleagues we’ve accomplished that,” she said.
Giant pandas were threatened with extinction when they were originally loaned to the San Diego Zoo by the Chinese government in 1996, in what was initially intended to be a 10-year program to help re-establish the species. The initial loan was extended to last some 23 years.
In 2016, the status of giant pandas was changed from endangered to vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, reflecting their comeback. As of 2019, there were 2,000 wild pandas in China, their native habitat, according to the zoo.
MATRIARCH OF THE ZOO
“China believes in having their animals retire back in their country, or be repatriated, so Bai Yun and Xiao Liwu are now going back home to China,” Dumont said.
Bai Yun was born in 1991 at the Wolong Giant Panda Research Center in China and was among the original cohort of bears loaned to the zoo in 1996. She has since given birth to six cubs and is considered the “matriarch” of the San Diego panda family.
One of her cubs, Xiao Liwu, is considered essentially a teenager in bear years and zookeepers hope he will breed with a female bear in China. His father, Gao Gao, returned to China in October 2018.
In the United States, giant pandas are also kept at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., and at zoos in Memphis and Atlanta.
San Diego Zoo officials said they were working with their counterparts in China to bring pandas back to California.

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to have it all together? Why do they always look pulled together, polished and like them know what they're doing, while the rest of us sometimes feel like a hot mess? It's not because these people are magically more put-together than anyone else. It's because they've learned the art of dressing for success. In this blog post, we'll explore the science behind dressing for success and teach you how to dress to impress no matter what the occasion.
What Is Dressing For Success, And Why Should You Do It?
Dressing for success is the act of choosing clothes that make you look and feel your best. It's important to dress for success because the way you look and feel can impact your mood, confidence, and overall performance. When you look good, you feel good, and when you feel good, you're more likely to perform at your best.
So how do you dress for success? The first step is to understand the science behind it.
The Science of Dressing for Success
Studies have shown that what we wear can impact our mood and behavior.
- In one study, participants were asked to wear either a white coat or a lab coat. The participants who wore the white coat were more likely to report feeling more important and powerful than those who wore the lab coat.
- In another study, participants were asked to wear either a formal or informal outfit. The participants who wore the formal outfit reported feeling more competent and capable than those who wore the informal outfit.
These studies show that what we wear can impact our emotions and behaviors. When we dress for success, we are more likely to feel confident and competent, which can lead to better performance.
How to Dress for Success
Now that you understand the science behind dressing for success, it's time to learn how to do it. Here are some tips:
1. Choose clothes that make you look and feel your best:
This is the most important rule of dressing for success. Wear clothes that make you feel confident and stylish. If you don't feel good about what you're wearing, it will show.
2. Dress for the occasion:
Make sure your outfit is appropriate for the event or occasion you're attending. You wouldn't wear a cocktail dress to a job interview, for example.
3. Consider your audience:
When dressing for success, it's important to consider who you'll be interacting with. If you're meeting with potential clients, dress in a way that shows you're professional and competent. If you're giving a presentation to your boss, dress in a way that shows you're confident and capable.
4. Invest in quality pieces:
Investing in quality pieces that you feel good about is worth the investment. Not only will you look and feel your best, but you'll also have clothes that will last longer.
5. Be yourself:
At the end of the day, it's important to be true to yourself. Dress in a way that reflects your personality and style.
By following these tips, you'll be on your way to dressing for success. So go out there and make a great impression!
Dressing for success is a critical aspect of achieving your professional goals. By understanding the science behind it, you can put together an outfit that will make you look and feel your best. We hope this article has given you some ideas on how to dress for success in any situation. Whether you're meeting with clients or giving a presentation, remember to dress in a way that shows you're confident and competent. And most importantly, be yourself!

- OpenFile Vancouver interview
- York Region News Interview
- Letter to Globe & Mail
- CBC St. John's Radio Interview
Martin Collier was interviewed for this article on the proposed GTA Centre (arena), to be located in the Toronto suburb of Markham. When talking about parking structures, Martin mentioned that the Town of Markham should not subsidize these spaces -- indeed, they should not build them in the first place. This would give transit a leg up and save millions in construction costs -- a fact that was not added to the final article. Given that this option will probably not be chosen, Martin told (and wrote) the journalist that "the key to meeting the 56-44 modal split will be the price of parking at the venue (and nearby), whether transit fare is built into the cost of the event ticket and whether a large percentage of folks live close enough to walk/bike to the event (1-5 km distance). I hope that the GTA Centre does not become another ScotiaBank Place -- where transportation is concerned!"
By AMANDA PERSICO
If you plan to catch an event at Markham’s new arena, get ready to drop the gloves over a parking space.
Earlier this week, members of the Markham sports, entertainment and cultural centre sub-committee met with consultants and developers to discuss the proposed site plan for the NHL-size arena off Enterprise Boulevard.
The discussion soon turned to transit and a proposed parking plan that assumes 56 per cent of trips to the arena will come from public transit and just 43 per cent will drive — a ratio seized on by critics, calling the plan over ambitious.
The plan calls for about 4,400 surface parking spots, allocated between 10 parking bays, which also includes shared parking spaces at existing GO Transit parking lots. Those 4,400 spaces assume each vehicle will carry two people per vehicle to an event.
Traffic management specialist, Sharon Sterling of Genivar – a consultant hired by the city – arrived at that ratio by studying the
most convenient ways to get to the centre within about a 60-minute time frame.
Most visitors to the yet-to-be-built arena are expected to come from Toronto, Ms Sterling said.
“We look at what a person has to do to get here,” she said. “We look at what is a more convenient and faster route. Forty-three per cent is proportionate to that equation.”...
“We’re talking Copenhagen type of numbers,” said Martin Collier, traffic consultant and founder of Healthy Transport Consulting and Transport Futures.
A 56:43 driving to transit ratio already exists in several European centres, where transit and cycling are the favoured modes to
“Those numbers are unheard of in Canada or the United States. But Markham’s idea is do-able,” he added.
There are certain practices that need to be in place to ensure wider transit use to Markham’s new arena, including parking premiums Mr. Collier said.
Sticking drivers with high parking premiums could make transit the more affordable option and could also be a revenue source for the city, or at least cover the cost of the parking facility, he added.
“There needs to be the expectation that going by car is ridiculous,” he said. “This plans needs a good sales job, to sell people economically and through education.”
If parking is cheap and there isn’t enough, there will be spill over.
The city would be at a disadvantage if it offered cheaper rates for parking, which could lead to increased demand for parking and the need to build parking structures, which begs the question, who will pay for additional parking, Mr. Collier said.
But the plan would not work without dedicated transit.
Without proper plans for transit, the GTA Centre could see the same problems as Ottawa.
“You hear stories about people going to (an Ottawa Senator’s) game three hours in advance just to get a spot,” Mr. Collier said. “And then it takes about four hours to get out. It is a horror story to get a parking space, but it is even worse getting out.”
Another public meeting is scheduled for mid-September to discuss site plan and community access to the arena.

The Boy Friend
nytheatre.com review by David Fuller
September 26, 2007
The Boy Friend is Sandy Wilson's sweet confection written in the 1950s as a kind of love letter to the Roaring Twenties. It is one of the few "British Imports" of its day: having had a successful run in London's West End it came to Broadway in 1954. Here, it starred an unknown talent making her American debut at the tender age of 19 who took the town by storm, Julie Andrews. In 1971, it was made into a charming movie starring Twiggy and Tommy Tune. With such enduring songs as "Won't You Charleston With Me?" and "I Could Be Happy With You," we are indebted to producer Mel Miller and his Musicals Tonight! company for bringing The Boy Friend back to the New York City spotlight in this first of their new season of staged readings.
Set in the south of France's côte d'azur near Nice, the action centers in and around Madame Dubonnet's Finishing School, where English teenage girls are sent to learn how to become "Perfect Young Ladies" (the opening musical number). The plot revolves around Polly (Kathryn Holtkamp) a popular student who has fictionalized a boyfriend to the extent of addressing love letters to herself. You see, all the real boys she has dated have not cared about her, but have only been interested in her considerable inheritance. However, the big dance is coming up and her fictional boyfriend is now expected as her escort. Fortunately a local delivery boy, a young Englishman named Tony (Jeremy Michael), arrives at the school with a package. Predictably but charmingly, sparks are ignited ("I Could Be Happy With You").
Then, Polly's widower father Lord Percy (Dan Debenport) arrives for a visit. He and the unmarried headmistress Dubonnet (Ester David) recognize each other from a post-Armistice tryst they had had in Paris at the end of the Great War. This very French woman has trouble breaking through his Anglo façade ("Fancy Forgetting," "You Don't Want To Play With Me Blues"), but inevitably she unthaws his libido. Meantime, the big plot hiccup is a mistaken belief by Polly midway through the play that Tony only likes her for her money. So, she shuns the big dance until Mme. Dubonnet coaxes her out ("Poor Little Pierrette"). In the end Love triumphs and we learn the true connection between Tony and a pair of upper crust Brits who have been lurking about—Tony himself is a man of wealth who has come to Nice to get away. Along the way there is the requisite subplot between one of the girls, Maisie (Marnie Buckner), and a young American, Bobby (Stephan Stubbins), who clearly are in love but whose expected engagement is waylaid by Maisie, who feels the need to play hard to get—despite the fact that they dance divinely together.
Director and choreographer Thomas Sabella-Mills does a good job of giving us a feeling for the musical, which is really what ought to be expected from a staged reading. I overheard an audience member wonder why the actors were carrying "those black things." He must not have known that Musicals Tonight! produces readings, not full productions, and thus the actors carry their scripts and are not required to memorize their parts. Sabella-Mills embraces the script-carrying restriction—the prompt books are used sometimes as props (like a convenient screen to hide an illicit kiss) and sometimes as costume pieces (a clever way to carry the masks in a masked ball). During choreography, he is able to let the books go, bringing us some cute versions of '20s dancing, executed with a jubilant panache.
This cast is uneven, with both French and English accents running a gamut from hokey to excellent. But the enthusiasm by all is infectious and there are several standouts. Holtkamp and Michael are charming as the ingénue couple and they sell their duets well, making "I Could Be Happy With You" a particular crowd pleaser. Buckner and Stubbins make fun second bananas and they sing and dance the heck out of "Won't You Charleston With Me?" Buckner in fact has an innate charisma that could really take her places. David and Debenport are effective as the older lovers, though David perhaps succeeds more completely. Her characterization is well done, her accent is terrific and her singing is very, very good.
Of the design elements, only the lighting by Yingzhi Zhang is credited and Zhang's work serves the show well. The costumes effectively suggest the period and the set, though sparse, defines the locales. David Bishop, who plays the piano from behind a center flat, does a good job with his musical direction; though for my taste I would have generally increased the tempi, especially in the Charleston number. But that's a quibble with which he may well agree—conducting from the piano behind a flat in back of the actors is a near-impossible task.
This is not deep theatre, but light entertainment on the order of some of our current and more popular Broadway shows. The Boy Friend at Musicals Tonight! is a fun evening and a nice visit to a charming musical. It lacks the polish of a full production, but that should be expected in a staged reading.

It is being planned that drones will deliver newspapers in France. Isn't it exciting? Keep reading for details.
The purpose of making flying robots or drones was to keep an eye on the criminals in a more smooth and easy way. But now, besides keeping an eye on the criminals, drones are also used spying upon general people, specially upon US citizens. Many organizations like the EFF and ACLU have tried to raise the issue over people's privacy concern, but failed to grab government's attention. But now, Texas has declared war on the drones.
Last year, we reported that U.S. space agency NASA was developing a "service/orbiting robot" that will go to space, refuel the satellites and if needed will repair them. At that time NASA mentioned that it will start testing the robot in early 2013. Right now NASA is running various tests. The good news is that the robot has successfully passed the test on refueling a satellite.
Yoichiro Kawaguchi, a professor of Interfaculty Initiative in Information Studies at the University of Tokyo, has created a swimming Jellyfish robot based on a theme of "Space Jellyfish". The robot is just an artistic interpretation of what a jellyfish in space might look like.
The Massachusetts-based company iRobot has always tried to develop such robots that can take acre of daily chores and make our lives easy. Such a job is pool cleaning, and iRobot has made a user-friendly and powerful pool cleaning robot to handle it. iRobot will unveil the pool cleaning robot Mirra 530 at the CES 2013.
Drones have long been used by the military for multitude of purposes. However, newer uses of drone are in the coming. Secom is currently working on a private security drone which can be used by security firms and the likes.

03/15/2019 | Press release | Distributed by Public on 03/15/2019 17:24
WASHINGTON, DC - Today, U.S. Senator Tom Carper (D-Del.), Senator Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Ranking Member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and U.S. Representative Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.), Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, announced a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report outlining how political appointees at multiple federal agencies have failed to fully comply with internal ethics programs. The legislators announced the report during the 14th annual Sunshine Week - a nationwide initiative to educate the public about the importance of transparency in government.
'For the past two years, the American people have watched the Trump Administration blatantly disregard the ethical norms that have guided previous administrations, regardless of party. Regrettably, today's GAO report shows more of the same,' said Senator Carper. 'It reveals that several federal agencies have failed to abide by basic ethical procedures, standards, and principles meant to ensure political appointees and federal employees are working in the best interest of the American people. What's more, the White House refused to participate in GAO's oversight investigation. Upholding basic ethical standards for our government should not be a partisan issue; it's good, common sense policy that is necessary for a healthy democracy. Sunshine is said to be the best disinfectant. It's why now, perhaps more than ever, at a time when Americans' trust in the federal government is at a historic low, shedding some light and conducting critical oversight on the ethical lapses revealed in this report will begin the important and much needed process of restoring trust in our government and those who serve in it.'
'GAO found significant problems in the ethics program at the Department of the Interior,' Chairman Cummings said. 'This, combined with the revelation in an Oversight Committee hearing yesterday that Acting Secretary Bernhardt may be deleting his calendars and holding secret meetings is troubling. I am also outraged at the systematic obstruction by the White House of the work of the nonpartisan GAO.'
'Strong ethics programs are necessary to ensure that we can trust our government. Americans have a right to know that public servants are acting in the people's best interests and that their decisions are free from personal conflicts of interest,' said Ranking Member Peters. 'Unfortunately, the GAO's report makes clear that multiple agencies have failed to live up to this basic standard - including the White House which refused to cooperate with GAO's investigation. This Administration has allowed serious ethical violations to go unchecked, which threatens the American people's trust in their public officials.'
In the wake of several high-profile ethics scandals across the executive branch, GAO was asked to review the Trump Administration's compliance with ethics requirements for political appointees. GAO reviewed the ethics programs at the Department of Interior (Interior), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Small Business Administration (SBA), including data on political appointees. All three programs were found to have instances where agency ethics programs failed to meet appropriate standards, most significantly at Interior. GAO discovered that Interior and the SBA had not fully documented their procedures for ethics training and the ethics pledge, respectively, and were therefore not in full compliance with ethics requirements.
GAO had also planned to review the White House ethics program but was unable to do so due to a lack of cooperation from the White House, hindering Congressional oversight of that program. GAO determined that the White House ethics program has not been reviewed since 2003.
The full report is available here and below is a summary of the GAO's key findings and recommendations:

As the ladies of the show, including Lala Kent, Scheana Shay, and Brittany Cartwright, prepare for the births of their first children along with former cast member Stassi Schroeder, an update has surfaced in regard to why filming has not yet started on the potential new episodes.
On November 12, E! News confirmed that there is “no timeline” for the cast to resume production and noted that the Bravo series is still on hold.
“There is now no timeline for the show’s return,” an insider explained.
That said, the series has also not yet been canceled.
“With so many uncertainties during the COVID pandemic, showrunners are telling the crew that the show has not been canceled, but the upcoming season is currently on hold, and asking them to please sit tight until the future is more clear,” the source continued.
While filming on new seasons typically begins in late spring or early summer, this year’s production was thrown off by the coronavirus pandemic, which kept SUR Restaurant, where the series is based, closed for several months.
As Pump Rules fans may have seen, Jax Taylor announced in October that he and his castmates were set to begin filming season nine later that month. However, a short time after his statement was made, Bravo denied any such plan to Variety magazine.
Although the show remains “on hold,” the cast has continued to share their lives with their fans on social media and in recent months, Stassi, Lala, and Scheana have confirmed they are expecting their first children, baby girls, next year. Meanwhile, Brittany and Jax are expecting the only baby boy of the group.

as mentioned when I replied to Mick, the powder with be a fungicide as we’re trying to help prevent dampening off – although careful watering is always the best solution to this problem. The hydrogen peroxide mentioned in the blog will be the same as the hair bleach and is just an extra precaution taken by the author to sterilise her seeds. Using normal bleach in tiny quantities is usual practice in preventing harmful bacteria in seed processes, especially if they are prone to disease in the first place.
Learn when it's safe to transplant seedlings. The first two leaves visible are usually "cotyledons," or seed leaves. Once the seedling grows several "true leaves," with a more typical rose leaf appearance, it is more likely to survive transplanting. It is also easier on plants if they are transplanted to a larger pot for a year or two, and then transplanted outside.
I would definitely mix in some compost with your garden soil as this will improve the structure of it. The dusting with fungicide is useful as it prevents the risk of infection, however, if you keep an eye on them and be ready to spring into action then it could be worth trying without . As for planting, I would personally keep them inside for a while, give them a chance to strengthen up before putting them outside in the elements!
Plant the seeds. Some store-bought seeds can be planted immediately. If you germinated your own seeds as described above, plant them as soon as they begin to sprout. Plant with the sprout pointed downward, as this is the root. Lightly cover them with soil, about 1/4 inch (6 mm) deep. Space seeds at least 2 inches (5 cm) apart to minimize competition.
The rose seeds can be planted right away if you have harvested them as late as November, December or January (in Southern California) or early spring after danger of frosts in your area. Place the rose seeds about one-half inch deep in a very light mixture of 50% sterile potting soil and 50% vermiculite. Some rose hybridizers use Sunshine Mix #4. You can use small pots or shallow trays to plant your seeds, whatever works for the space you have, as long as they have good drainage. Nursery flats work well for this. Lightly dust the rose seeds with RooTone or Captan before covering with soil. And then dust the top of the soil again, which will hopefully help to prevent damp-off (a disease which kills young rose seedlings). Amateur rose hybridizers concerned with toxic chemicals may want to periodically spray the seed tray with diluted peroxide and water instead of the more toxic Captan.
Site: For most abundant blooms and greatest vigor, roses need to receive 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. In hot climates, they will appreciate receiving protection from the most intense afternoon sun. In cool climates, a fence or a warm south- or west-facing wall can add enough extra warmth to boost flower production and reduce winter damage.
Taking rose cuttings can lead to a new crop of beautiful, successful roses. Like many other plants, it's important to choose a sunny spot for your rose cuttings that has moist soil. Cutting strong, healthy stems right above a set of leaves makes for great growing conditions, and dipping your cutting in a rooting hormone will help the roots take faster. By keeping your rose cuttings well hydrated, you'll have strong roots in no time.
Wonderful instructable! And THANK YOU! I have the most beautiful smelling rose in my backyard that was there when my father purchased the house (I purchased it from him... the house, not the rose, the rose just came with it :) ) and I've never been able to identify it or find anything that smelled nearly as sweet. It blossoms with two buds a year, consistantly, never producing more or growing any further. Both buds are now dead so I think I will cut them off the moment I get home and start this process. Maybe in a couple of years I'll have a whole patch of these magnificent bushes. Again, many kudos and thanks.
Monitor the rose cuttings to ensure they’re hydrated and taking root. Keep an eye on the cuttings to make sure they’re never dried out, as well as to make sure the cuttings are taking root. You can test to see if the roots are growing by gently tugging on the cuttings. You should be able to feel a slight resistance after a week or 2, meaning the roots are growing well.

A June 29 article in the Jersey City News (“Via’s first quarter data exceeds expectations”) discussed Jersey City’s rideshare partnership with Via. More than 35,000 rides were completed between February and May, but similar programs have had trouble in other cities.
In view of the program’s popularity, the NJ Sierra Club’s Transportation Committee wanted to learn more. With the much-appreciated help of Ward E Councilman James Solomon, we set up a meeting with Jersey City staff, who filled us in.
They described some impressive successes. Via’s Jersey City launch was one of the company’s most successful. Importantly for environmental reasons, Via’s drivers spend very little time driving without passengers. And the program has made it easier for thousands in Jersey City to access the PATH and light rail.
Still, there are concerns we hope the city takes to heart. During weeks with the most riders, average wait times have been closer to 20 minutes, rather than the goal of 15 minutes. As traffic returns to normal, wait times and over subscription may be an issue. Will Via have to increase fares in response, as has happened elsewhere?
Most of all, the program shows the huge demand for mass transit in Jersey City. The program was launched to address complaints about bus service – that it’s too slow, and there’s not enough of it.
Jersey City does not run buses, but its hands are not tied. The city should add bus lanes to speed up the most-used bus routes. Although harder politically than a rideshare service, this would benefit even more people.
Only two years ago, Mayor Fulop was discussing a network of bus-only routes to benefit Jersey City’s many bus riders (https://twitter.com/StevenFulop/status/981952421407744000). Since then, Jersey City has shown it can be a leader in sustainable transportation by expanding its network of protected bike lanes. Why not add bus lanes to the mix?
