Wasilla or Juneau? Disagreement over special session locale
July 11, 2019
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — One of the most powerful Republicans in the Alaska Senate is bucking the Senate president’s call to meet in Juneau on Monday, as legislative factions barrel toward trying to hold special sessions in two different cities, hundreds of miles apart.
Senate Majority Leader Mia Costello, in an opinion piece published by her hometown Anchorage Daily News, said Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy issued a legitimate call for lawmakers to convene in Wasilla and she will heed that call.
“It doesn’t matter how we feel about the governor’s call, or Wasilla, or the governor him...

Emissions from road transport
According to the latest emission inventory, road transport accounted for 34% of nitrogen oxides emissions (national totals), 11% of the fine particulate matter and 11% of non-methane volatile organic compounds. The Dutch Informative Inventory Report for 2020 also shows that road transport is the source of 16% of the total particulate matter and 32% of the total black carbon emissions.
Most road transport emissions in the Netherlands have significantly decreased over time notably linked to the introduction of more stringent EU emission standards for road vehicles. Emissions of ammonia from road transport are however rather increasing since 2015.
The Netherlands are on the forefront in rolling out infrastructure for electric vehicles and have the highest market share of electric passenger cars in the EU. Public transport systems and bicycle infrastructure are comparably very well developed. Still, road transport is found to cause approximately 36% of all health impacts related to air pollution (Clean Air Agreement analysis) and the achievement of air quality objectives are particularly challenging in zones with intense traffic, notably in and around urban areas.
Combining the need for efficient mobility for a growing and increasingly urban population with the need for more sustainable transport and less air pollution is therefore a key objective for mainstreaming of air quality policy.
The dialogue participants noted that actions at EU level could support national efforts notably by further strengthening rules and requirements, e.g. euro standards for vehicles. This legislation is regularly reviewed. In addition, non-exhaust emission from tyres and break wear could be further addressed as appropriate, both by legislative means and by improved road user behaviours (e.g. eco-driving skills).
Soft/active transport modes could be further facilitated notably with the increasing trend of e-bikes and electric mopeds. Cycling highways and more bicycle parking space are being considered in many municipalities as part of the urban planning. Financial incentives mentioned that could support the transition includes further use of congestion charges and various tax incentives (bonus malus).
(Councillor City of Nijmegen)
Our challenge: sustainable urbanization
Nijmegen has a growing population and is experiencing an amazing transformation along the River Waal. In addition to the major intervention, ‘Room for the river’ it provides Nijmegen with excellent opportunities for a range of developments. Nijmegen has the biggest inland port of The Netherlands, strategically located at the river Waal. This offers good economical opportunities. But there is also a big river straight through town, which is the busiest international route of the EU for inland shipping. Road transport, mobility and inland waterway transport all come together in Nijmegen and cause the corresponding air pollution.
To work on cleaner air until 2030 we have a new implementation programme with nearly 30 measures. One of the themes is Clean road transport, which comprises measures such as further extension of our extensive bicycle policy and red highways for bicycles, zero-emission zones and banning old mopeds and motorised bicycles in these zones.
As a city we can’t do this alone. Whilst working on our ambitions, we could use some help from Europe and our national government. We need EU-decisions on rules and energy sources, for the city to be able to move towards cleaner and healthier air.
Taxes can be used to stimulate sustainable transport. As a city, we feel a bottleneck in the current system. At this moment for example taxes need to be payed on the charging of electrical vessels, whereas refuelling with diesel is exempted. We need the uptake of sustainable clean fuells in the Energy Taxation Directive. The European Federation of Inland Ports pleads to support the uptake of all sustainable clean fuels and energies in the review of the Energy Taxation Directive, by introducing a long-term tax exemption for those fuels. We support this plead!
We would welcome commitment to sustainable transport and energy in the European Recovery and Resilience Fund. The aim of this fund is to mitigate the economic and social impact of the coronavirus pandemic and make European economies and societies more sustainable, resilient and better prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the green and digital transitions. For the Netherlands this fund could be set up to stimulate sustainable transport, sustainable inner harbors and clean inland shipping, bicycle solutions and sustainable shared mobility.

Facebook’s $1 billion acquisition of photo-sharing app Instagram is coming under scrutiny in the U.K., as competition regulator the Office of Fair Trading expressed concerns that the social network might prevent Instagram users from uploading photos to other sites, or restrict similar applications’ ability to upload photos to Facebook.
Charging onward to the most gargantuan tech initial public offering of all-time, questions have surfaced as to whether the Federal Trade Commission’s investigation of the merger-and-acquisition deal between Facebook and Instagram could delay the IPO, which is slated for May 18.
Will Facebook’s recent settlement with the Federal Trade Commission over alleged privacy violations impact software companies that help parents monitor the Facebook habits of their kids?
Facebook has turned down an invitation to appear at a December 14 congressional briefing on teen privacy, where the company were asked to discuss the company’s recent settlement with the Federal Trade Commission.
Facebook has formally settled with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission about matters of privacy, although some might interpret the details as much ado about nothing.
When William Shakespeare wrote Much Ado About Nothing, he certainly didn’t have Friday’s published reports about a rumored settlement between Facebook and the U.S. government over privacy concerns in mind, but the title fits.
The new terms for Facebook Credits, effective Friday, may have to ward off an attack by Consumer Watchdog, as the public-interest group filed a 28-page complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, claiming that the social network’s virtual currency stifles competition.
The Federal Trade Commission settlement with Google allowing privacy audits just might end up benefiting the legions of Facebook developers who’ve had to stop using AdSense.
The European Union’s Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding wants Facebook to get ready for stricter data protection laws.

Especially when we talk about saving human life in cardiac arrest. For us at HOPI, safety comes first because we appriciate the health and lives of all our colleagues. Therefore we have equipped our 2 largest DC´s with defibrillators.
Lifepak 1000 defibrillators can also be used by the first witnesses of the event, ie people without medical education, and use the first minutes to rescue the patient until the ambulance arrives. The defibrillator gives verbal instructions to the user in the Slovak language.
At both DC´s - in Senec and in Madunice too, the staff was trained not only from the ranks of the Quality Department, but also from the ranks of shift masters. Defibrillators are located in accessible places and are visibly marked. At the same time, both our workplaces are marked with a sticker with information about the equipment of the building with a defibrillator.
We are glad that we are taking our security on next level again, but at the same time we wish us to use these devices as little as possible!

Top 10 Tips for Branded Vehicle Wrap Design
Branding and marketing a product or service never gets old.
Without creating a great brand image out in public, it is impossible to attract more customers and increase business profits.
To create a brand identity that is unique in today's world has become essential and the surest way to increase customers.
And one of the best ways to increase the visibility of your business in potential customers' eyes is through planning out your campaigns from the beginning and trying out a unique approach.
Among the prevalent digital marketing concepts, vinyl stickers for vehicle wrap designs are the best option for small businesses as it requires lesser investment while the returns provided are fantastic.
Populating your brand among potential customers through a vehicle is an excellent idea as it becomes a moving advertising board for your business.
Branded Vehicle Wrap Design – Promote Wherever You Move
Branded vehicle wrap designs are years old concept that has become accustomed to many small businesses.
However, ditching many other branding and marketing techniques and choosing this is somewhat a tough decision for businesses.
And also for designers, it is a great challenge in itself.
Branding a business with the right graphics and generating a required response is what every designer aims at.
However, following the best practices of crafting compelling and attractive designs requires a designer to think creatively and come up with plans and suggestions that can make a brand vehicle trending wherever it travels.
10 Tips for Crafting Creative and Eye Delighting Vehicle Wrap Designs
Whether you are starting to craft a compelling vehicle wrap design or just learning it for fun, keeping these tips in mind will help you get excellent outputs that everyone will love and adore.
1. Measure, Map and Create
Do not jump directly into designing the wrap without knowing the vehicle size and type.
Accurately measure the type and size of a vehicle and keep them in mind when designing the vehicle wrap for the same.
Gather complete details of the vehicle to design the wrap that covers the entire vehicle while not leaving a single spot.
The design should be ready to print at the end of the process to ensure zero wastage of time, and it also proves the excellence of designing.
To create the right design suiting your clients' needs, it is essential to understand their brand and the services they provide.
Moreover, the design should be created after performing enough research to ensure that no future queries or problems are raised after the design gets ready.
It helps save time for designers and businesses too.
Ultimately, while creating a design, the first and foremost criteria to keep in mind is, the design should fit the vehicle measurements.
2. Study the Competition Thoroughly
Before starting to work upon the design, check for any possible competitors of your clients in the market.
And if they use the vehicle wraps, study them thoroughly.
Check for the designs they use and the graphics added.
Research thoroughly before starting with the design and consider every possible way where the competitor design can outrun your designed wrap.
Work on them to correct and make your design more excellent than ever.
Keep your client businesses' choices and suggestions in mind but do not copy them directly in the design.
Instead, look for possible inspirations from any competitors or any other sources and then experiment with colour combinations to craft an excellent design.
3. Less is More, Literally!
Create a design that conveys more by stating fewer words.
A design that is too crowded with words can never succeed in capturing a viewer's attention.
Instead, think that the design is not supposed to be read but viewed by the customers.
How will a user read off from the truck or a car moving at the speed of 70mph?
Therefore, it is advisable to make use of figurines and images rather than text to display and promote a business.
Moreover, the things you put in the wrap design are supposed to be wholly business-related and customer attracting.
If a design fails to impress even the client business, there is no way it will influence the customers.
Hence, make sure the design you craft has enough space to let a viewer understand what it aims to deliver.
4. Bold is Beautiful
The best way to grab the attention of any viewer is by using bold colours and designs.
Do not just create designs that stand out from the crowd but throw some bold colours in there to make the vehicle wrap ravishing and also visible from long distances.
The bold and excellent colour combination immediately catch the eyes of viewers and consequently, the business can market their name on the streets without having to do anything.
For example, a small business running taxi services through an app solution asks for a vehicle wrap design.
Therefore, the layout must include the logo design of their app and the name.
As small businesses are priorly using a solution that provides them with the convenience of choosing their name and logo, they can choose to apply the design to all the vehicles from their fleet to promote their services.
A bold colour combination will ensure the user's attention is grasped even from long distances and hence, it can provide more leads.
5. Highlight the Brand and Their Message
It is essential to highlight the brand business is promoting to help them reach more potential customers.
Moreover, the message should be conveyed clearly.
For example, if a pest control business is asking for designing a vehicle wrap design for them, it is vital first to understand what their pest control permanently removes and later use the graphics that depict what they are doing.
The message should be clear from the design to let a viewer understand what services they include.
And do not forget to add the contact details as viewers can note from the vehicle and contact the business later.
6. Font Choice and Size Matters
How can you expect a customer to understand what is written on the vehicle that is travelling at high speed from the streets?
Therefore, the font sizes and style you decide to use and especially, the form you use is essential.
Taking a daring decision that implies the use of fancy fonts that are merely readable from the computer screen is not a good idea.
Instead, try to focus on using the fonts that convey the message you have printed loud and clear.
Therefore, ensure to choose the font type and size that impress users while also being readable from a certain distance without having to strain the eyes.
7. Amazing Illustrations = More Attention!
The ultimate aim of a vehicle wrap design is to gain the attention of customers from the roadside and connect them with the brand.
Illustrations and graphics that delight the eyes and also contain an element of mystery are most welcomed by most businesses.
Therefore, do not forget to design the wrap containing amazing illustrations that can help in attracting more viewers and promoting the business.
8. Clients Should Agree
Ensure the design you craft is good enough for your clients.
Do not put a step further without their permission and if required, be ready to accept changes in the design.
Without consulting them and knowing their views on it, do not finalise any decision of adding up an object or removing one.
The clients should be at the centre of the entire process, and it should reflect on the work you have been assigned.
9. Follow the Constructed Plan
It is essential to follow the plans and suggestions your clients have made.
Understand their requirements and follow the steps that you have planned together, and it helps in completing your tasks on time.
Moreover, it helps you in earning the trust of your clients as you can assure them of completing the given tasks on time.
Therefore, you should build up a plan and later execute it when crafting the design of vehicle wrap.
10. Try to Avoid Seams
The vinyl sheets are going to be applied to the vehicle, and the artist will try to reduce as many seams as possible, but seams will surely be there.
Therefore, your design should be optimised for seams as a great design crafted by keeping the possible chances of seams in mind never fails to impress users and hide most of the seams.
Therefore, understand where the possibilities of seams can ruin the overall look of the design and craft it accordingly to minimise the effects of seams once the prepared stickers get applied to the vehicle.
A great brand vehicle wrap design will consist of all the measures that can change the entire look of the vehicle and promote the brand at its best.
Also, when crafting the design, it is crucial to abide by the laws that may stop you from painting the window or using a tinted shadow over it.
Keeping all the laws and enforcement in mind, you can create an excellent design that gives your client business a significant boost while also keeping them safe from possible controversies.
As the concept of vehicle wrap design is most popular among small businesses, it becomes your priority as a designer to provide them with enough exposure by creating compelling designs for their vehicles to promote their services and help them expand their customer base.

|Vanilla biscuits dusted with cinnamon sugar - mmmm|
Cheese and Onion bites
Gas Mark 6/ Lightly greased and floured oven tray. Makes about 18.
|Cheese and Onion bites ready for the oven|
6oz plain flour
approx 1/2 tablespoon dried onion powder
approx 2oz strong cheddar grated
soya milk to mix (obviously water or other milk would do)
Rub fat into flour as for shortcrust pastry. Stir in onion, cheese and pepper. Bring together with enough milk to create a firm dough. Refrigerate for an hour or so and then roll to about the same thickness as a commercial digestive biscuit. Cut out using 2inch round cutter and bake for approx. 20 minutes until lightly golden.Leave to cool on a rack and then store in airtight container - not sure on the shelf life as the spares didn't last 5 minutes!
Please play with the ingredients to find flavours that suit you - I've made variations of these with other types of cheese or even without cheese at all, and with onion, black pepper and herbs for a great vegan savoury munch. This is also a great way to use up any odds and ends of cheese that may be past their best which given The Observer article that raised lots of people's blood pressure on Sunday should be a good and useful thing to have at your disposal.
May your kitchen be warm and your house be bathed in the scent of baking for the rest of the month!

Face it. Life gets busy. Sometimes the day job hours take over your life but the house does not care. It still wants attention. Meals still need to be prepped. Oh wait! No time to go grocery shopping. Scratch that off the MIMI DO list.
This winter I said yes to too many things. Everything I said yes to was good but the outcome was bad. Something had to give before I made a permanent face plant into my empty plate.
I shouted NO! I cleared my calendar, I cleared the crazy, and then I filled my cart with all things veggies and nutritious, and delicious. I cooked proper meals and I feel better now even in the middle of the #coronamadness that has consumed the world.
My kitchen has forgiven me for neglecting her. Delicious dishes once again grace my table. Such joy! Food! Veggies!
My new favorite bowl of deliciousness is African Peanut Soup. It pulls together in a flash once all the veggies are chopped and the spices are gathered. To make a quick midweek dinner I chop the veggies over the weekend and then line up all my ingredients before I plug in the Instant Pot for a Tuesday evening dinner in a flash. Once the Instant Pot is plugged in there is no time for even a sip of wine until you clamp down the lid and let the Instant Pot pressure build.
This recipe makes 8 servings. That is way too much for me so I freeze the leftovers in pint jars. It freezes beautifully. What a blessing it is to have delicious, nutritious, homemade meals ready to eat when life takes a crazy turn. If I am going to do a dinner time face plant then I want to be planted in African Peanut Soup. It is that yummy!
Pour another glass of wine, please! Mimi has restored balance.
1 tablespoon avocado oil
1-inch piece of ginger, peeled and minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 yellow onion, diced
1 ½ pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon red curry paste
1 teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon sea salt
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth'
4 carrots, diced
3 parsnips, peeled and diced
8 ounces green beans, cut into 1 inch lengths
1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
½ cup chopped roasted peanuts
Prepare all ingredients and measure into prep bowls before starting the cooking process. Once you begin adding ingredients to your Instant Pot you will not have time to chop veggies or search for spices. Prepare your ingredients and then let the cooking begin!
Select the sauté setting on the Instant Pot and heat the oil, ginger, and garlic for 2 minutes, until the garlic becomes aromatic. Be careful! Garlic scorches easily. Add the onion and sauté
until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken and sauté for an additional 3 minutes. Add the curry paste, coriander, salt and broth. Stir with a wooden spoon to take the fond (browned bits) off the bottom of the pot. Stir in the carrots, parsnips, and green beans. Pour in the tomatoes and liquid and dollop the tomato paste on top. Do not stir in the tomato products.
Secure the Instant Pot lid and set the Pressure Release to Sealing. Press the Cancel button to reset the cooking program, then select the Pressure Cook or Manual program and set the cooking time for 5 minutes at low pressure. (The pot will take about 20 minutes to come up to pressure before the cooking program begins.)
When the cooking program ends, let the pressure release naturally for at least 15 minutes, then move the Pressure Release to Venting to release any remaining steam. Open the pot, add the peanut butter, and stir to combine.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped roasted peanuts.
** Note: This soup is delicious served over brown rice. The rice is not only a delicious bed for this soup but it might also stretch the meal to feed a larger family.

Sanjay Bangar believes India’s second line of fast-bowling options is the biggest plus heading into the ODI World Cup, later this year.
Last year’s T20 World Cup saw the Men in Blue suffer greatly as a result of Jasprit Bumrah’s injury-induced absence. The top Indian bowler is still recovering from a back issue. Mohammad Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, and Umran Malik have been named to India’s ODI team for the forthcoming series against Sri Lanka.
IPL 2023 | Sri Lanka tour of India 2023 | Dream11 Prediction | Fantasy Cricket Tips | Cricket Match Prediction Today | Cricket News | Cricket Live Score | New Zealand tour of India 2023 | Australia tour of India 2023
During an appearance on Star Sports’ ‘Game Plan,’ Sanjay Bangar was asked to name the most positive story for India coming into the World Cup, to which he replied:
“I sense a second line of fast bowlers who have developed. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has also played a significant amount of cricket. His form was also not awful, but if you’re looking ahead, you’ve got Umran Malik.”
Sanjay Bangar believes Siraj and Arshdeep are appealing candidates for the Men in Blue. According to the previous Indian batting coach:
“Mohammed Siraj has performed admirably in Test cricket. When he plays ODI cricket, he performs admirably. Arshdeep Singh, a left-arm bowler, constantly offers the opposition with a unique challenge.”
“Arshdeep and Umran Malik have got success in the four-over format”: Sanjay Bangar
In 50-over cricket, Sanjay Bangar is interested to see if Arshdeep and Umran can repeat their success from the game’s shortest format.
“So you have such alternatives, who have been assigned roles. These are thrilling times to watch fast bowlers who have had success in four overs. Arshdeep and Umran Malik have had success in four-over formats; it would be interesting to see how and with what impact they can bowl 10-over spells.”
In the 21 T20Is he has played, Arshdeep has taken 33 wickets at a respectable economy rate of 8.17. Umran has only bowled two dismissals in three Twenty20 internationals, but his scorching spells for SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League have propelled him into the conversation (IPL).

LONDON, October 22, 2010 /PRNewswire/ --
- New Research Shows That People are More Likely to Hide the Truth Behind Modern Technology
Social networking site Twitter has been hailed as a revolution in communication but it seems that conversing in the bite-size chat room may not be as straightforward as it seems, according to the 'Straight Talking Report' from Direct Line*.
The 'Straight Talking Report' found that people are more likely to be dishonest when chatting using technology, such as Twitter, than they would be face to face. Just one in five people (20 per cent) profess to being more truthful on Twitter or text, compared to a third (31 per cent) who state that they are more frank when speaking to someone in the flesh.
It might not surprise women that men are less likely to be honest via text than themselves (17 per cent of men compared to 21 per cent of women), as texting appears to have played a part in recent male celebrity scandals. Perhaps more surprising is the fact that women are less likely to be truthful in person than men, with 12 per cent more men claiming to be honest face to face than women.
Psychologist Glenn Wilson said: "Modern technologies, such as smartphones, social networking and instant messaging have been hailed as innovations in the way people interact, removing obstacles to conversation and allowing for openness of discourse. However, we sometimes use these means of communication rather than a face-to-face encounter or a full conversation when we want to be untruthful, as it is easier to fib to someone when we don't have to deal with their reactions or control our own body language."
Matt Owen, spokesperson for Direct Line, said: "Having lots of friends and not enough time to see them can lead to an over-reliance on social networks and technology to keep in touch. However, this research shows that if you want to get the truth from someone, face to face is the best way to get a straight answer."

In the United States, a man accused the vicar (auxiliary) bishop of the Catholic Church in Detroit and the former ambassador of the Apostolic Nunciature (Vatican) in Turkmenistan (he simultaneously represented the Vatican in Turkey and Azerbaijan) Paul Fitzpatrick Russell (Paul Fitzpatrick Russell) of sexual assault, which, according to the alleged sacrifices he made over 30 years ago. This is reported by The Detroit News.
The victim, whose name has not been released, is now over 40 years old. He blames Russell for 25 cases of violence in 1989-90, when the victim was 12 years old.
The lawsuit alleges that the man suffered serious and permanent injuries and currently continues to suffer from a psychological illness that negatively affects all aspects of his life.
In turn, a spokesman for the Archdiocese of Detroit told the publication that Russell was “shocked and saddened by the allegations against him and declares that his conscience is completely clear. He prays for everyone who has ever been abused by a member of the clergy."
Paul Fitzpatrick Russell was the plenipotentiary of the Pope in Turkmenistan from March 2016 to February 2022.
At the moment, the Apostolic Nunciature in Turkmenistan is represented by Attache for Cultural Affairs Madej Andrzej . In December 2020, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov , among others, in honor of the 25th anniversary of neutrality , awarded him with the anniversary medal "Türkmenistanyn Bitaraplygynyn 25 ýyllygyna".

By Udochukwu Ikwuagwu
There is something baffling about Ice Prince and his artistry: the more projects he unleashes, the more glaring his faults appear, and the more he lets himself down. Born Panshak Zamani, Ice Prince’s initial releases pre-“Oleku” could pass for the works of a future hip hop OG, scaling brilliantly the lyricism test, even matching freestyle champ Teeto Ceemos bar for bar, wit for wit. Following his underground success as next-in-line to the rap throne in his hometown, Jos, and crowing as the city’s shining light in the game, Ice Prince’s status quickly changed on Jesse Jagz-produced “Rewind” — that song got so much buzz in the cold city, becoming a mild hit. Although “Rewind” got him that needed street credibility, he had to hustle hard in spite of financial difficulties. M.I, his Loopy boss, and Jesse Jagz, Loopy’s in-house producer, were yet to break into the game, so he had to wait. That Ice Prince got rapping skills isn’t in question: he rapped his hats off on M.I’s first two projects, Beatboxx’s “Wan Test Us”, Terry tha Rapman’s “John Blaze”, and his Hennessy Artistry-winning “Badman”. But Mr Zamani hasn’t grown musically, dropping duds after duds. On his third studio album, “Jos to the World”, he seeks home where his competence first got tested. Unfortunately, “Jos to the World” follows the uninteresting path of “Everybody Loves Ice Prince” and “Fire of Zamani”.
Ice Prince has stuck to his predictable, workmanlike template of writing songs: throw in songs about come-up, pen dance-ready anthems sung in ragga style, pine for love (lost love or otherwise), scribble piano-driven choruses to a deity, whine about naysayers and doubting Thomases, call-up singer-friends, who add nothing and are forced to run ad-libs and verses overshadowed by his uninspired ones. All these experiences patched over overworked beats that initially sound exciting but end up drowning in staleness. One would expect Ice Prince’s post-Choc City album to be packed with introspective, sombre songs, considering all his lows and highs before and after fame, and even touching on the ‘Jostified’ movement that has been humanized and have captured the heart and soul of his volatile hometown, which has been divided along religious and ethnic lines; but this expectation fails to materialized on “Jos to the World”. No songs to counter the hostile narrative peddled about J-Town over the years. No reminiscing on growing-up, untold stories of his experiences, hidden voices in his community, or his personal diary made music.
For the record, Ice Prince can tell these stories, and he did on the emotive ’09 “Feeling”, an ode to his city — that song touched the uneasiness felt by residents and the often ignored religious tolerance hidden behind the chaos. He can also be reflective when he tries. Months after losing his mother, Ice Prince wrote the heartfelt, emotional “Find You” to honour her memory. Though piercing and sorrowful, the song wiped the tears with his baby sister’s powerful lines at the end. But the problem with Mr Zamani: he prefers occasional brilliance to constantly dropping gorgeous music. For every pre-album “Can I Talk” he does, he follows up with terrible ones, as though making up for lost hours writing good music. And that accounts for Korede Bello-assisted “Chike”- a contender for the worst song of 2016- and the tepid “One Day” and “Elegushi” off “Trash Can” EP. To self-sabotage then becomes Ice Prince’s favourite pastime, and unsurprisingly, he continues to be his worst enemy on “Jos to the World”. When he raps “went from trash cans to the blueprint” on Drake-esque “2am in Chevron”, he recalls the forgettable experience that was the aptly-titled “Trash Can” EP. But reneges on his promise to give a blueprint following the underwhelming projects since his debut album “Everybody Loves Ice Prince”. On the aforementioned song, his deft lyricism comes out to play: “A wise man told me ‘go in or go home’/And I got a big dream of living in gold homes/So I had to go hard, and I put it on my mama/As long as I’m alive I’m never going to ‘go home’/How ironic is that?/Home is where the heart is, but brother out here really tryna build a throne.” Sadly, brilliant moments like this are far between on “Jos to the World”, and you will be hard pressed to find them. They come when he lets himself free of the nagging voice instructing him to delve into reggae-inflected songs. Ice Prince’s Evil Kermit holds this project down, in a wrong way. “Belinda”, a mishmash of The Outfield’s “Your Love” which got a reggae treatment by Wyclef, his own “Juju” off ELI and Shakira’s “Hips Don’t Lie”, is what happens when he stubbornly heeds that call. “For Yah” follows this template as a singing Ice Prince with a tepid hook, attempting to rescue the song’s cadence, runs to Wayne Wonder’s “No Letting Go”, even an uninspired Runtown couldn’t save it. Timaya-assisted “Belinda” and “For Yah” are the same songs, only featuring different artists. Patois-speaking Mr Zamani holds tightly to this unsuccessful style on “Looking at You”, “Play List” and “Want It All”. And added to this: his weird decision to write uninspired choruses even though he has access to delightful ones by guest artists. On his first two albums, Wizkid, 2Face, Wizboyy, Sound Sultan, Sunny Neji, Burna Boy and Yung L were relegated to the background, and that curious choice continues on “Jos to the World”. Tiwa Savage, Vanessa Mdee, Yemi Alade, Koker and DJ Buckz are seen nowhere near the hooks.
The corny-titled “Brokelyn” features a Young Thug-Drake hybrid Dice Ailes who manages to sound more excited than the award-winning host on Chopstix’s trap production. Dice Ailes’ “mama told me ‘boy, know yourself’… No man jacking my swag” sounds a bit ironic, though in retrospect, the line perfectly explains the whole album. Too many cheesy love songs fill JTTW, but this is expected from a man who went on a rant for days after being caught in a love triangle earlier in 2016. Not all love ditties deserve public listening sessions, but Ice Prince remains unaware of this singular fact. Not all romantic songs should enter the booth — but who will tell Mr Zamani? Like Robin Thicke’s unfortunate ballads to “Paula”, Ice Prince’s love songs should have been shelved. However, nothing was stopping a man who tweeted: “But thanks 4 inspiring another classic record I just wrote 4 her (sic).” Although he subtly addressed the cheating allegations on the part of his girlfriend, and subsequent unveiling of her alleged ‘sponsor’ on “No Mind Dem”, cussing out ‘aristos’, it was an afterthought for a man searching for a P-Square or Sisqo kind of dance song. Love songs and reggae anthems prove to be the project’s Achilles’ heel. One can assume that the dancehall-inflected songs- and UK guest artists- were strategically done to appeal to the UK’s growing Grime community. But the Krept and Konan-assisted “Want It All”, for example, does not push for such aspiration to break new grounds. As to international penetration, Ice Prince calls up his Washington friends, The Fresh Brit, Da Bantino, Phil Adé, Tone P and Ava Hovanka, perhaps introduced by Nigerian-American rapper Wale to pick up from where he left off on “Fire of Zamani”. And all artists put in satisfactory inputs, showing that the world entry may not entirely be unattainable — although the host does more for the guests rather than the other way around. TUC-produced “Trillions” offers JTTW’s highlight as Mr Zamani tries for his 2Chainz’ “Watch Out” impression with an impressive showing along with Phyno. If “2am in Chevron” Ice Prince or “Trillions” Ice Prince showed up throughout JTTW, it would have been a thrilling journey rather than the boring, tiring experience it ended up being.

Secret to peppers,Spray the plant with Epsom salts (1 teaspoon dissolved in a spray bottle of warm water (about 4 cups). That gives the pepper plant a boost of magnesium that is required at flowering time to produce fruit. Spray them again 10 days later and in a few weeks, our expert friends report, you will have more peppers than you can eat.
Baking soda neutralizes the ph in the soil and nothing will grow there. use baking soda around all of the edges of flower beds to keep the grass and weeds from growing into beds. Just sprinkle it onto the soil so that it covers it lightly. Do this twice a year - spring and fall. Awesome!

If you select Gain Muscle as your goal, then you can select the Gain (surplus). The macro calculator will then recommend that you eat this percentage more calories than you need. Eating more calories than you need will result in weight gain, which will be in the form of muscle if you do weight training. For example, if you select 10% as the gain, the calculator will output 10% more calories than your body needs for maintenance.
Como puedo perder 20 libras en un mes
When you eat foods high in carbohydrates and fat, your body naturally produces glucose. Carbohydrates are the easiest thing for the body to process, and therefore it will use them first – resulting in the excess fats to be stored immediately. In turn, this causes weight gain and health problems that are associated with high fat, high carbohydrate diets (NOT keto).

Anticonvulsants suppress epileptic seizures, but they neither cure nor prevent the development of seizure susceptibility. The development of epilepsy (epileptogenesis) is a process that is poorly understood. A few anticonvulsants (valproate, levetiracetam and benzodiazepines) have shown antiepileptogenic properties in animal models of epileptogenesis. However, no anticonvulsant has ever achieved this in a clinical trial in humans. The ketogenic diet has been found to have antiepileptogenic properties in rats.

Those issues can be part of what's known as the “keto flu,” Warren says. Other side effects of the keto diet, all of which are tied to carb withdrawal, can include lightheadedness, nausea, mental fog, cramps, and headaches, in addition to tiredness. Luckily, the keto flu doesn't usually last more than a week—which is coincidentally about when people start to see the number on the scale go down, says Warren.
Cuanta proteina debe comer una dieta ceto
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain function. However, if little carbohydrate remains in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. An elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood, a state known as ketosis, leads to a reduction in the frequency of epileptic seizures. Around half of children and young people with epilepsy who have tried some form of this diet saw the number of seizures drop by at least half, and the effect persists even after discontinuing the diet. Some evidence indicates that adults with epilepsy may benefit from the diet, and that a less strict regimen, such as a modified Atkins diet, is similarly effective. Potential side effects may include constipation, high cholesterol, growth slowing, acidosis, and kidney stones.
Como puedo reemplazar los carbohidratos en mi dieta india
Other big studies comparing popular diets of different macronutrient compositions, like the one I mentioned above, consistently suggest that the very low-carb approach isn’t a sustainable solution for weight loss. A review of the research on weight loss for different types of diets, published in the Lancet in 2015, found that people on low-carb diets lost 1 kilogram of additional weight after one year compared to people on low-fat diets — again, a marginal difference.
Implementing the diet can present difficulties for caregivers and the patient due to the time commitment involved in measuring and planning meals. Since any unplanned eating can potentially break the nutritional balance required, some people find the discipline needed to maintain the diet challenging and unpleasant. Some people terminate the diet or switch to a less demanding diet, like the modified Atkins diet or the low-glycaemic index treatment diet, because they find the difficulties too great.

There are many ways in which epilepsy occurs. Examples of pathological physiology include: unusual excitatory connections within the neuronal network of the brain; abnormal neuron structure leading to altered current flow; decreased inhibitory neurotransmitter synthesis; ineffective receptors for inhibitory neurotransmitters; insufficient breakdown of excitatory neurotransmitters leading to excess; immature synapse development; and impaired function of ionic channels.
Natural fat, high-fat sauces – Most of the calories on a keto diet should come from fat. You’ll likely get much of it from natural sources like meat, fish, eggs etc. But also use fat in cooking, like butter or coconut fat, and add plenty of olive oil to salads etc. You can also eat delicious high-fat sauces including Bearnaise sauce etc., or garlic butter (recipes).

In the first week, many people report headaches, mental fogginess, dizziness, and aggravation. Most of the time, this is the result of your electrolytes being flushed out, as ketosis has a diuretic effect. Make sure you drink plenty of water and keep your sodium intake up.6One of the fathers of keto, Dr. Phinney, shows that electrolyte levels (especially sodium) can become unbalanced with low carb intake.

Basically, in the context of dieting, dieters can either jack up dietary protein to cover the increased carbohydrate requirements of dieting or simply eat slightly more carbohydrates to provide them directly. Both have the same end-result. 15-50 grams per day limits the body’s need to break down protein and will allow protein requirements to be set lower than a diet providing essentially zero carbohydrates per day.

Eating carbs drives up insulin production, the hypothesis suggests, stirring hunger and causing the body to hold on to fat and suppress calorie burn. But when you replace carbs with fat, you subdue hunger, boost calorie burn, and melt away fat. With fewer carbs, your body also doesn’t produce as much insulin — and that increases the rate of ketogenesis and decreases the body’s need for glucose.

Tussling with the Idea Man
By Dale Keiger
In photographs, Arthur Onken Lovejoy does not look playful. According to those who knew him, he was of slight build. But in a portrait from the Hopkins archives, he seems physically imposing.
An imposing figure, but one who wrote the following: “Whatever other definitions of man be true or false, it is generally admitted that he is distinguished among the creatures by the habit of entertaining general ideas.”
Lovejoy was an idea man. Ideas were his stock in trade, specifically ideas about ideas. Intellectual concepts have histories, and this is what fascinated him: how the great ideas developed and mutated and combined and recombined and coursed from century to century. He was an archaeologist of the intellect, digging for the foundations of Western thought. A physicist of philosophy (though his preferred analogy to science was as analytic chemist), seeking to reduce systems, creeds, and -isms to their fundamental particles.
Arthur Lovejoy was born in 1873 in Berlin, Germany, where his father was conducting medical research. When Lovejoy was 18 months old, his mother killed herself by an overdose of pills. Her husband responded by abandoning medicine and becoming a minister. He wanted his son to take a clerical collar as well, but Arthur was more interested in a rational basis for theology, what he termed “a quest for intelligibility,” so he studied philosophy and comparative religions at the University of California and applied the techniques of a historian to his intellectual pursuits. He was hired by Stanford in 1899 but quit two years later when the president dismissed Lovejoy’s colleague because the latter’s politics had offended a trustee. Harvard’s philosophy department wanted him, but President A. Lawrence Lowell blackballed him as a troublemaker. (Lovejoy would later co-found the American Association of University Professors, perhaps confirming Lowell’s worst fears.) Johns Hopkins University, apparently not so easily scared, hired him for its philosophy department in 1910.
Never married, he lived in a second-floor apartment in a house on 39th Street near the Homewood campus. Hopkins humanities professor, Richard Macksey, who knew him in his later years, recalls, “It was the quintessential bachelor scholar’s establishment with books all over the place. I could never figure out if he ever went to bed because the bed was completely covered with books. I think he slept in his chair.”
Lovejoy was a philosophy professor but didn’t like what he considered artificial disciplinary lines. So he founded his own Hopkins interdiscipline, the history of ideas. His colleagues George Boas and Gilbert Chinard made their own significant contributions as Hopkins became known as the center of this sort of historical philosophical thinking.
When Lovejoy looked at ideas, he saw aggregates. He believed that philosophical systems, political creeds, and big ideas about life and God and meaning all could be disassembled by a Lovejovian historian into building blocks that he called “unit-ideas.” These units, he said, were passed down and used in new combinations by generation after generation of thinkers. He wrote, “… Most philosophic systems are original or distinctive rather in their patterns than in their components.” That is, past a certain point in history there were no new fundamental ideas, just new ways to combine these unit-ideas. To tease out constituent units and understand their recombinations, the historian had to surmount disciplinary boundaries because ideas don’t care about academic disciplines. They go from astronomy into poetry, from theology into politics into literature.
In his most famous book, The Great Chain of Being, he examined the idea, derived by the Neoplatonist philosopher Plotinus from Aristotle and Plato, that all of creation forms a chain. The chain includes all that could possibly exist, starting with God, in an infinite series of forms, each of which shares at least one attribute with its neighbor in the chain. Lovejoy traced this idea through 2,000 years of intellectual history, demonstrating its influence on thought in the West. He follows parts of the Great Chain conception through Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Roger Bacon, Liebniz, and Spinoza, pausing along the way to discuss Copernican astronomy and Kepler.
An important aspect of Lovejoy’s work was his examination of how the meanings of words changed over time, and the effect those changes had on ideas. He’d take “nature” or “romanticism” and demonstrate how people used these terms without being fully cognizant of the ambiguities caused by shifting definitions. Lovejoy once subjected himself to interrogation by the Maryland Senate, when he’d been nominated for the state’s educational board of regents. A legislator asked Lovejoy if he believed in God. George Boas recalled, “I am reliably informed that in reply Lovejoy developed at length 33 definitions of the word God, consuming 15 1/2 cigarettes meanwhile, refusing to be interrupted or ruffled, and ended by asking the committee member which of these meanings he had in mind when putting the question.” As the story goes, no one felt inclined to ask him another question, and Lovejoy was confirmed. Unanimously.
The history of ideas as conceived by Lovejoy was a methodology that required the contributions of scholars throughout the university. If you want to understand the thinking of Milton, said the professor, you’ll have to venture into the history of science, because in the eighth book of Paradise Lost, Adam and the archangel Raphael engage in a discussion of 17th-century theories of astronomy. Be unfamiliar with the ideas of Copernicus and his successors and you will not understand Milton’s references, or where his thinking came from. And if you really want to unravel all the ideas and influences expressed by Milton, he said, you need scholars of English, classics, the writings of the early Catholic Church, rabbinical and other Jewish literature, French and Italian literature of the 16th and 17th centuries. Plus a historian of science, a medievalist, a philosopher, and a historian of early Protestant divinity.
Lovejoy knew right where to go for such a collection of scholars. In 1923, he and colleagues founded the Hopkins History of Ideas Club. The club was for “the historical study of the development and influence of general philosophical conceptions, ethical ideas, and aesthetic fashions, in occidental literature.” Meetings were open to anyone. You needn’t be a Hopkins professor. You needn’t be a professor at all. Graduate and undergraduate students were welcome. Six times a year, participants would assemble in Room 110 of Gilman Hall and listen while a scholar read a new paper. Then the real fun began, as Lovejoy would lead the audience in probing, augmenting, and disputing the author’s scholarship. The meetings drew writers, historians, philosophers, biologists, political theorists… Anyone who thrived on scholarly dialogue.
In the October 1962 issue of Johns Hopkins Magazine, Dorothy Stimson, a professor emeritus from Goucher College, recalled meetings at which 70 people would “sit in the smoke-filled air, listening with more or less interest to a scholarly paper read often nervously by even the most experienced of renowned scholars. Then they would resettle themselves in the stiff chairs to await the opening of the discussion. What would Professor Lovejoy say?”
Macksey recalls an elderly Lovejoy who still enjoyed the fray: “He was a very bristly, independent mind. On occasion he really wandered, but on other occasions he could be quite fierce. It was entirely intellectual. I never had any sense of personal polemics. But it was something one always had to warn speakers about, that they would find this elderly man taking quite a bit of time to get a cigarette into his cigarette holder, and then he would ask a question, and it might come from anywhere on the map. He was someone who saw the intellectual life as a tussle. There were occasions at the club where the speaker figured if he’d gotten past Lovejoy’s question, things would get a little smoother. George Boas could be quite sharp, but he had a very different personality. George was elegance itself, with sort of a Mozartian lightness and spirit. You didn’t know you were being cut up. When you were cut up by Lovejoy, you knew it.”
Over the last several decades, his ideas have been contested, as he surely would have expected and welcomed. Some of his critics have argued, as Macksey puts it, “that the unit-idea was something that existed in the minds of certain investigators rather than in reality.” Macksey believes that in the history of ideas, Lovejoy’s greatest contribution was his method. “Even during a later period when people said, ‘Wait a minute, we don’t quite buy into this unit-idea notion,’ [Lovejoy’s work] catalytically became a source of new work. Where is the history of ideas today? I think that in many ways some of the issues are still very much debated, though later generations probably lack the assurance of Lovejoy and the integrity of his method. But the issues are still alive and being debated and that would have satisfied Lovejoy.”
Arthur Lovejoy died in 1962.
Robert Grudin, formerly of the University of Oregon and author of the book On Dialogue: An Essay in Free Thought, notes, “You can imagine the enormous power and value that’s been added by the [dialogic capabilities of] the Internet over the last 10 years. If a similar revolution could take place within the disciplines of a university”—if they could return to Lovejoy’s interdisciplinary ideal—”universities would be much more effective places both for scholars and for students.”

Arthur Oncken Lovejoy Chair in History
Arthur O. Lovejoy, professor of history at Hopkins from 1910 to 1939, is credited with the introduction of the interdisciplinary academic area known as the history of ideas. He founded the Journal of the History of Ideas and established the Hopkins History of Ideas Club. Professor Lovejoy was the first chairman of the Maryland chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, and his opinions often appeared in the editorial pages of the Baltimore Sun. He also was a founder of the American Association of University Professors and a strong proponent of the right of faculty members to teach unencumbered by ideological restrictions.
A Note on Unitarian Connections
Perhaps the most impressive demonstration of the history of ideas movement is the publication of Philosophers Speak of God, by Charles Hartshorne and William L. Reese, published by the University of Chicago Press in 1953. The book grew from a course entitled “Ideas of God in the Great Systems” taught by Lovejoy’s fellow Unitarian, Charles Hartshorne, to students including William L. Reese, who elicited his professor’s interest in coauthoring the book. This history of ideas not only includes a systematic classification of ideas of God but a presentation and critique of theistic and atheistic ideas throughout history in both the East and West.

The latest Vera novel has been snapped up for the next series of the hit crime drama, it has been announced.
The Seagull - the most recent of Ann Cleeves’ award-winning Vera Stanhope books - is proving to be the most successful so far.
Set in the author’s home town of Whitley Bay , and part-inspired by the chatty customers in her local pub, it sees the eponymous detective Vera open up a cold case after finding two skeletons - one of them a suspected missing person - in the seaside town.
Each year Ann alternates between writing a Vera book and one for her Shetland series, which also inspired a TV adaptation, but she never quite knows which stories, or in which order, will be picked up by makers of the popular ITV1 Vera series which stars Brenda Blethyn.
But this time - with work currently under way in the region on shooting new episodes of the drama - Silverprint Pictures has announced its plans to adapt The Seagull for the ninth series which is due to hit screens in 2019.
The most recent series has proved the highest rating drama on ITV for the first quarter of 2018, averaging 8.4m viewers.
And its makers know it will be on to another winner with a story based on what is the best-performing title in Ann’s 31-year writing career. The Seagull has clocked up the highest ever hardback and ebook sales and it spent three consecutive weeks in the Top Ten on its paperback publication.
The upcoming adaptation, which will also called The Seagull, is to be the fourth episode of the next series - and its creator welcomed the news.
Ann said: “To have my work so expertly brought to life by double-Oscar nominee Brenda Blethyn and the talented team at Silverprint is fantastic.”
She added: “I am so proud of Vera - long may she showcase the beauty and wonder of Northumberland and continue to be perfect Sunday night watching.’
Her editor at Pan Macmillan, Vicki Mellor, is also delighted at the decision to adapt what she calls “an intensely personal story for the wonderful Vera Stanhope”.
She said: “We are so proud of all that Ann has achieved and look forward, along with all her fans, to seeing how Brenda and the rest of the fantastic cast bring this story to life on screen.’
The cast and crew of the long-running crime series are known to thoroughly enjoy love regular stays in the picturesque North East during the shooting of the series and they always receive a warm reception from local fans.
Silverprint Pictures executive producer Phil Hunter said: “It’s always a thrill to be back in production on Vera after months of developing the stories and scripts.
“It’s fantastic seeing ‘the Vera family’ re-united on Tyneside, led by the amazing Brenda Blethyn.
“The love there for Vera continues to inspire and fuel the enthusiasm of everyone involved in the making of the show.”
He added: “Filming in the region is a joy and the wonderful thing is that there is still so much more to explore!”

After Bayeux, we drove 1 1/2 hours to Mont Saint Michel. We had dinner reservations at La Ferme Saint Michel, inside the gate. The gate is at the southern end of the road that leads to the island of Mont Saint Michele. There are restaurants and hotels inside the gate and outside. You need a code to get inside the gate. You can call the restaurant to get the code, which changes daily or park at the lot outside the gate and walk to the restaurant.
The restaurant is large but it was full when we arrived at 9 pm. Fortunately, we had made reservations online.
They offered a 3-course menu for €20. There were several choices for each course. The entree choices included Duo of Terrines--there was a smooth pate and a country pate. Both were good.
The Farm's Omelet was another entree option. This was prepared in the style of La Mere Poulard--yolks and whites beaten separately then folded together so it was more like a soufflé. It was very light and fluffy.
One of the main options was Grilled Chicken Filet. This was boring. Not much flavor to the sauce and the chicken was dry.
Fish Colin d'Alaska. This was also okay. The fish was dry and the sauce was uninspired.
Dessert options included selection of two Normandy cheese, in this case Pont l'Eveque & Camembert.
Calvados Macerated Apples in Normandy Far.

Our 2nd tour with Overlord was the 101st Airborne tour. We met at 8:30 am in Place du Quebec. We had a different tour guide. He was in his mid 20s but very knowledgeable about the events of D-Day. I would recommend watching "Band of Brothers" before going on this tour--many of the sites were featured in the mini series.
2017 05 26
First stop was Marmion's Farm, a stop only Overlord can make because they have a special arrangement with the owner of the farm. Many of the 101st Airborne paratroopers regrouped here after their missed landings.
Sainte-Marie-du-Mont--the first village to be liberated in Normandy on D-Day.
Famous statue of WWI French soldier which was toppled by the Germans and replaced on its pedestal by the US Army.
The church in town was riddled with bullets.
The remnants are still visible today.
Chateau Bellenau was occupied by the Germans as a gun placement and lookout post. It was the first chateau liberated by the Screaming Eagles on D-Day, June 6, 1944.
La Barquette Lock. The Germans controlled flooding of the lowlands by controlling this lock. Allied control of the lock was gained shortly after D Day.
At lunch, we stopped at St. Mere Eglise again. This time, there was no market so we picked up some items at the charcuterie and had a picnic lunch.
After lunch, we toured the church.
Paratrooper John Steele landed on the spire of the church although he landed on the other side of the church. The other side of the church wasn't as dramatic so the memorial was placed on the side facing the town square. John Steele hung limp for 2 hours, pretending to be dead, until he was taken prisoner by the Germans. He was able to escape and rejoin his division.
Where else would you see stained glass featuring paratroopers except in Normandy.
C47 crash site memorial near Beauzeville
101st Airborne Memorial, located near St. Marie du Mont.
Statue of Major Richard Winters located near St. Marie du Mont. He unfortunately passed away the year before the statue was unveiled. He was made famous by the mini series "Band of Brothers."
Church in Saint Come du Mont
The museum we visited on this tour was the D-Day Experience. We were able to ride a C47 simulator, complete with smoke when we crash landed.
Memorial honoring Congressional Medal of Honor winner Lt. Col. Robert G Cole. He was only 29 when he died during Operation Market Garden in the Netherlands.
The tour ended at 6 pm--another long but very educational day.

Before we met for our 2nd Overlord tour, we grabbed croissants at a nearby bakery.
2017 05 26
La Parisse is located at 15 Rue Saint-Martin.
We got a croissant for €0.90 and a chocolate croissant for €0.95. I love France. A croissant in the SF bay area would be €4 each.

We had made reservations at L'Assiette Normande for dinner.
2017 05 25
L'Assiette Normande is located at 3 Rue des Chanoines.
We started with a Kir Vin Blanc (white wine) €3.50 & Kir Normand (cider) €3.20.
I chose the Menu Duo (2 course) for €13.90. First course was seafood platter with shrimp and bulots.
Bavette with Shallot Sauce & French Fries--the beef was tough but the shallot sauce was good.
My husband chose the Menu Trio for €17.90. His first course was Salmon Pate. He didn't like it--not much flavor.
His main was the Fish of the Day--skate. This was full of bones.
His 3rd course was dessert of the day--chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream.
2017 05 25
Saturday, October 28, 2017
After our tour, we got ice cream at La Show Glace in the center of Bayeux.
2017 05 25
La Show Glace is located at 3 Rue Larcher.
We got a cone of Pistachio and Passion Fruit for €3. Both flavors were delicious.
2017 05 25
Friday, October 27, 2017
We took two D-Day tours in Normandy--Overlord's Omaha/Utah and 101st Airborne tours. Both were all-day tours and they were long days with a lot packed in.
2017 05 25
We met at 8:20 am in Place du Quebec in the center of town. There were 8 people on our Omaha/Utah tour and we were loaded into a mini van with our tour guide, who was also the driver.
First stop was Longues-sur-Mer Battery--artillery batteries that formed part of Germany's Atlantic Wall coastal fortification. Four guns, each protected by cement casements, fired at both Omaha and Gold Beaches.
Colleville-sur-Mer--a tiny commune where tanks rolled through after disembarking from Omaha Beach.
Omaha Beach--this section preserved the natural pebble bank barrier that provided the only cover for the 1st US Infantry Division as they disembarked from their boats.
Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer. The cemetery is open daily except Christmas and New Year and admission is free.
Bronze statue "Spirit of American Youth Rising from the Waves" in the center of the semicircular colonnade.
9387 are buried here. Their grave sites are marked with simple crosses
or stars of david.
One of 2 granite statues at the west end of the central mall. This one represents France. The other statue represents the US.
At the overlook, you can see a display showing the landing beaches. From west to east: Utah (US), Omaha (US), Gold (British), Juno (Canadian) and Sword (Australian).
We spent 45 minutes here. You could certainly spend a couple hours here to see everything. We didn't even get to see the Normandy Visitors Center, where you can watch 3 films ("Letters," "On Their Shoulders," and "OK, Let's Go").
Les Braves Sculpture on Omaha Beach--stainless steel sculpture to honor the men who landed on Omaha Beach to liberate France. There are 3 elements: 1) Wings of Hope, 2) Rise, Freedom! and 3) Wings of Fraternity.
National Guard Monument on Omaha Beach. This is located where the 29th National Guard Division broke through German defenses on D-Day.
Pointe du Hoc promontory where German artillery was set up to fire on Omaha & Utah Beaches.
Pointe du Hoc Ranger Monument was erected by the French to honor the American Second Ranger Battalion who scaled the 100 ft cliffs to seize the German artillery that could have fired on Omaha and Utah Beaches.
We stopped in Sainte Mere Eglise for lunch. We were there on Thursday and it was Market Day.
We got sausages with bread for €3. They were delicious.
We also got a ham, egg and cheese galette for €4.70 (just okay) and a nutella & banana crepe (better than the galette) for €3.
After lunch, we visited the Airborne Museum. Admission (€8.50) was included in our tour.
This was a great museum and I could have spent a few hours there. There are 3 buildings: Waco building with a glider on display, C47 building and Operation Neptune building. Kids would really enjoy the museum because there are full-size models and you can walk through many of them.
Iron Mike statue commemorating the capture of La Fiere Causeway, which allowed Allied troops to cross the Merderet River and block German reinforcement from the south.
Observation Table in the shape of a partially unfolded parachute recounts the chronology of the Battle of La Fiere.
Our next stop was Utah Beach.
Higgins Boat Monument--the Higgins boats were made of plywood and carried a platoon of 36 men. Eisenhower declared the boats to be crucial to the Allied victory in Normandy.
Utah Beach was very different from Omaha Beach. Utah Beach had a wide expanse of sand.
Utah Beach Museum. Our tour did not include a visit to this museum.
Liberty Road Marker lining the route taken by the Allied troops on D Day. The entire route is 1146 km.
Our last stop was at the church in Angoville-au-Plain, where just 2 medics took care of 75 wounded American and German soldiers and 1 French civilian on June 6-8, 1944. The church is riddled with bullet holes and blood stains.
We arrived back in Bayeux at 6:30 pm. We paid €175 per person to our tour guide for both the Omaha/Utah and the next day's 101st Airborne tour. Be prepared to pay in cash. Our guide was very knowledgeable and brought to life the evens of June 6, 1944. I'm not a history buff but I still found the tour very interesting.
