The Wal-Mart under construction in the southwest valley will start to hire in the spring and expects to bring on 250 new employees.
The majority of those jobs are full time in various parts of the store going in at Blue Diamond Road and Rainbow Boulevard, Wal-Mart spokeswoman Delia Garcia said in a statement.
Starting wages will be decided closer to spring, she said. As of October, the average wage for Wal-Mart’s full-time employees in Nevada was $14.04 an hour.
The 169,000-square-foot location has received several county construction permits this year to do a total of $9.15 million worth of work.
People interested in applying online to work at the new location can visit careers.walmart.com after hiring starts. Wal-Mart will open a hiring center at the store as well, Garcia said.
The new Wal-Mart will be about four miles south and three miles west of two other locations for the retail giant. The new location is expected to open in late summer, Garcia said.
This year, the location east of the new Wal-Mart received about $884,000 in remodeling investment from the Arkansas-based company, according to county construction permits. That Wal-Mart is located near the intersection of Silverado Ranch Boulevard and Bermuda Drive.
Wal-Mart also invested $605,000 this year in its location near the intersection of Lake Mead and Hollywood boulevards, according to county construction permits.
The retailer’s Blue Diamond location will help fill the area’s need for retail and especially grocery stores, said Kit Graski of ROI Commercial Real Estate, who represents shopping centers near the Wal-Mart site.
“This is going to be a very welcome addition,” he said.
An Albertsons under construction at a center he represents at Blue Diamond and Buffalo Drive also will help residents weary of traveling north for food, Graski said.
Located by the Mountain’s Edge master-planned community, the Albertsons is expected to finish during the first quarter of 2017, he said.
Graski also is vetting some fast-food and other small shopping center staples interested in moving into the center, he said.

This is a tutorial to show how to make a giff with photoshop image ready. we will learn how to make the giff up top.
Step one: firstdraw out your image, eather on paper or in an image program. I drew this in image ready. for thoughs drawing it on paper remember what you want to move. for things such as the one abuve it would be easier to not include the eyes. trace them on another paper or make them easy to cut out. or, you can just draw the entire image over and over. this is more or less exactly like animation.
I have pointed out some things in the screen cap. first is the top right. I know its a bit hard to read so I'll explain. you want the the boxess to say gif. otherwise the animation won't work if its a jpg or anything else. more or less evorything else is the quality, the quality is how big the file is. this one is highquality.
second bottom right is the layers. I made sure all the eyes were on a difrent layer above the rest of the head. so it was easy to hide layers when that image wasn't needed.
Step two: draw the moving components. in this case the eyes. I just slowly made them progresivly look closed. by drawing a line just under the original top of the eye and then tracing the bottom. its rather simple. once you have all your layers up we will move on to the actual animating. and rememberit is verry imprtaint you have difrent layers for each one!
the marked place is where you monitor the animation. it starts off as only one block, as seen above. so go down to where you see a little new layer button and click it. then hide the preveous layer and show the next. its importaint you hide the others below or else they will show. do this through all the layers. for me there are only 3. open, half closed and closed. but you will notice theres 5 blocks. first have open, then half open, then closed then half open then open. this will make it look more fluid. now below each frame is a list of seconds. this is how long you want it to show. I had the opening for .2 seconds, the middle for 0 the closed for 1 and then the same in revurse. now this is really up to you. I felt a faster blink and a longer open and slightly longer closed made it seem more natural. but somtimes it can be too slow, or to fast. the play button is our friend! and the button on the far bottom left that sais once, change that to forever, unless you only want the afect once when it loads. examples can be seen below.
step three: I croped my image down to be less lop sided and shrank it. but thats really anyones prefrence.
and finaly step 4! save as optimized. not save as! save as only saves it as a PSD! and then your done! I hope this didn't confuse anyone more. for questions just ask on DA. thank you.

Repatriation of ancient prehistoric bones to Penang, Malaysia
The Penang state delegation to the Netherlands returned last night. It was an eventful trip to receive four boxes of ancient human bones that were unearthed during the British colonial period but kept by the Dutch authorities in their national museum.
These bone fragments were unearthed in the Guar Kepah area of Penang during the British colonial period.
A few years ago a skeletal structure of a woman who died 5,700 years ago was unearthed and carbon dated under the expert guidance of Prof. Mokhtar Saidin formerly of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM).
Subsequently, the discovery of the skeletal structure led to the declaration of the “First Penang Woman”. The four boxes containing the 41 bone fragments were opened in the presence of the Malaysian delegation.
The bones would not be immediately repatriated given the fact that archaeological gallery is yet to be ready in Guar Kepah, Penang.
However, before the bones are repatriated, we have requested the museum authorities in the Netherlands to carbon date them regarding the age of the bones.
Isotope investigation will determine the dietary habits of the ancient human beings.
It is believed that they might be around 3000 to 4000 years old.
The return of the pre-historic bones to Malaysia was part of the larger effort on the part of the Netherlands government to return the archaeological items to their original locations worldwide.
On the first day of the official meeting with the Dutch authorities at the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, the Malaysian Ambassador to the Netherlands, Datuk Nadzirah Osman was present with some embassy staff.
I led the delegation accompanied by ￼Yb Yeoh Soon Yin, the head of CMI, Puan Datin Bharathi Suppiah, Prof. Mokhtar Sadin and others.

Inspired by a true story, this gripping thriller plunges you into a world of haunting memories and unseen threats, leaving you guessing until the harrowing end.
“Wilson turns the creep factor up to 11, balancing his prose on a knife's edge. A highly satisfying high-tension thriller.” — Kirkus
“[a] taut, complex thriller.” — Publishers Weekly
“In spare prose, Wilson ratchets up the horror spawned by obsession to a bloody end. For those who tolerate intense, sometimes graphic fiction, this is mesmerizing.” — Booklist, Starred Review
USA Today and #1 Denver Post bestselling author Carter Wilson explores the depths of psychological tension and paranoia in his dark, domestic thrillers. Carter is a two-time winner of the Colorado Book Award and his novels have received critical acclaim---including multiple starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Library Journal. Born in New Mexico in 1970, Carter grew up primarily in Los Angeles before attending Cornell University in New York. He lived in Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and Miami before moving to Boulder, Colorado in 1996. Throughout his life, Carter has journeyed the globe for both work and pleasure, and his travels have been a constant source of inspiration in his fiction. Carter's writing career began on a spring day in 2003, when an exercise to ward off boredom during a continuing-education class evolved into a 400-page manuscript. Since that day, Carter has been constantly writing, and his highly anticipated fifth novel, Mister Tender's Girl, will be released in February 2018 by Sourcebooks Landmark. He has also contributed short fiction to various publications, and most notably will be featured in the R.L. Stine young-adult anthology Scream and Scream Again, releasing Halloween 2018 from HarperCollins. Carter currently lives outside Boulder in a spooky Victorian house.

Today's liturgy lays stress on the terrible punishments which will one day be inflicted on those who have denied Christ. They will all perish and not one of them will enter the kingdom of heaven.
Those who have been faithful to Him through all the adversities of this life, will also one day be saved from the hands of their enemies and will follow Him into heaven, whither He went at His Ascension, whose feast the Church celebrates at Paschaltide.
But divine justice is not content with protecting the just against their enemies and with rewarding them for their fidelity; it punishes also those who do evil. The Israelites who tempted Christ by their murmurings perished by fiery serpents (Epistle), and Jerusalem, over which our Lord wept and whose punishment he foretold for its rejection of Himself, was destroyed by war and fire (Gospel).
More than a million Jews perished at the destruction of Jerusalem because they had rejected the Messias, and in the Gospel, our Lord always compared this tragic ending to the catastrophies which will mark the end of all time when God will come to judge the world by fire.
At that moment, the divine judge will accomplish the separation of the good from the evil, rewarding the first and banishing from the kingdom of God all who have denied Him by their unbelief or their sin, just as He drove from the Temple, the type of the Church on earth and in heaven, the traffickers who had transformed that house of God into a den of thieves (Gospel). For then the time of mercy will have passed, and that of justice only will remain. "Wherefore," says the apostle, "he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall" (Epistle).

After being forced to spend most of her time at home for the past two years, like many Americans, Roxanne Johnson realized she needed to move.
In the year By the end of 2020, she was working on marketing for a film and television production company in her two-bedroom condo in Winnetka, California, in the exclusive San Fernando Valley, about 25 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. The neighbors were mean. Dogs barked. To make matters worse, her building was falling into disrepair, and her apartment was starting to feel a little uncomfortable.
“I was sitting on the couch, basically motionless,” she said. “I wanted a change.”
A self-described “real estate nerd,” Ms. Johnson had several apps on her phone that tracked the housing market. Before the outbreak, she enjoyed visiting open houses with her mother and grandmother, who would come for long visits from Ohio, where Mrs. Johnson, an only child, grew up with surprisingly cold winters.
When her family visits, Ms. Johnson usually ends up lying on the couch. She wanted more space and first-floor access for her now 95-year-old grandfather.
[Did you recently buy or rent a home in the New York metro area? We want to hear from you. Email: email@example.com]
“I wanted to spend more time with them,” she said. But I needed more bedrooms.
She also wanted her own yard and a room that doubles as a gym, with space for her weights, yoga mats and foam rollers.
With many Angelenos fleeing the city for the suburbs, Ms. Johnson knew it would be difficult to afford a three-bedroom house nearby. “I didn’t have the money to go into a bidding war,” she said.
She considered homes in Arizona, Nevada and Ohio, but decided that being away from work and friends would be too isolating. “I didn’t want to be alone,” she said.
So she narrowed her search to San Bernardino County and eventually to Upland, about 40 miles east of Los Angeles. With a budget of $525,000, Ms. Johnson ventured into new developments in the area, which were generally more affordable than existing homes.
“She definitely did some homework and knew what she wanted,” said Ms. Johnson’s real estate agent, Amanda Fallon of Re/Max Partners.
But before she can buy anything, she needs to sell her condo to get the money for the down payment. Ms. Fallon referred her to another Re/Max agent, and Ms. Johnson began the daunting task of simultaneously selling and buying — which didn’t help her chances of finding the right place.
“It was so competitive here at the time, most builders wouldn’t accommodate buyers with homes to sell,” Ms. Fallon said.
Among her options:

An elementary school in Queens is under investigation after Nazi drawings were found on the school’s playground.
CNN reports the NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the case after the drawings were found on PS 139‘s school playground Friday morning. The playground was covered in chalk drawings of swastikas, a Nazi eagle and the phrase “Hail Hilter.” Police were notified after a resident of a nearby apartment building took photos of the drawing and sent them to Councilwoman Karen Koslowitz. Koslowtiz said that the elementary school is located in a predominately Jewish neighborhood and made the following statement on her Twitter page:
“I am horrified, disgusted, and nauseated, to say the least, of what I have witnessed today. Nazi imagery and anti-Semitic slurs were drawn at the PS 139 Playground in Rego Park. I was on the scene today and most of the imagery has been washed away. Enough is enough!”
The NYC Jewish Caucus confirmed on Twitter that the playground is currently being investigated by the Hate Crimes Task Force.
“Swastikas and Nazi symbols, as well as the term “Heil Hitler” (sic) were discovered drawn all over an elementary school playground in Queens today. @CMKoslowitz & @tobystavisky were at the scene, and it has since been cleaned. @NYPDHateCrimes is investigating this incident.”

GHAZIABAD: A Samajwadi
in Loni found himself behind bars on Tuesday after he posted on his Facebook account a photoshopped picture of chief minister Yogi Adityanath
Ramkumar Chauhan was arrested on a complaint from Hindu Yuva Vahini, a right-wing outfit founded by Aditya Nath in 2002. He was later sent by a local court to 14 days of judicial custody. An FIR against him was lodged at Loni border police station. Chauhan is the councillor from Ward No. 22.
“Chauhan posted the photoshopped picture of the CM on Monday night. It was in bad taste,” said Satyender Bansal, district in-charge of Hindu Yuva Vahini. “We got to know of this on Tuesday, following which I filed a police complaint, stating that it was a deliberate act to hurt the feelings of his followers,” Bansal added.
The FIR was lodged under section 153A (promoting disharmony, enmity or feelings of hatred between different groups), 295A (deliberate and malicious acts intended to insult the region or religious beliefs of certain class of citizens) of the IPC and sections of the IT Act.
Loni circle officer Sreekant Prajapati
said, “Chauhan was arrested on Tuesday afternoon. We also seized his computer and got the objectionable picture deleted after saving it for further investigation.”
Chauhan is a first-time councillor at Loni Nagar Palika, and was elected in 2012. A resident of Naipura colony of Loni, Chauhan, in his previous posts, had been all praise for BJP

So gas prices have been on the rise and they aren't going to go down anytime soon (above $5/gallons reported in liberal land) So, I wonder when the stupid greenies will get out of the way and let private companies drill off shore, like in the Gulf of el Mexico. I heard China is drilling 400 miles of the coast of Florida (someone correct me if I'm wrong) and even Mexico is drilling in the gulf and storing it away. Not to turn this into a nobama subject but he was close to allowing off shore drilling until BP had that accident, then he decided against it.
So when. When will we stop lining the pockets of middle eastern companies and become self sufficient?! What must we do!
Sorry...this just pisses me off, knowing that we shouldn't be having to pay these prices. but because of a couple of people/groups/environmental activists, we have to. I'm not one for completely destroying the environment and killing off species, but we can't preserve every species out there lol.

How to Promote Gut Health
If you suffer from digestive issues, learning how to improve your gut health is crucial. This article gives tips on how to eat a balanced , balanced diet and avoid hidden sources of monosaccharides. Avoid sugar, processed foods as well as NSAIDs. Avoid taking drugs like aspirin and eat a wide range of whole food items that are high in polyphenols. It is vital to maintain the health of your digestive tract.
Diversify your diet
Diversifying your diet is among the most effective ways to improve the health of your microbiome. A western diet is characterized by a lack of variety due to high levels of fat, sugar and processed foods. However diversifying your diet can promote the development of beneficial bacteria. Concentrate on whole fruits, vegetables and whole grains to broaden the range of your diet. Incorporate these foods into your meals and snacks.
American food is awash with processed foods, sugar , and dairy products that are high-fat. These foods can cause our digestive systems to work harder, causing toxic by-products that build up. Consuming processed and refined carbs can increase inflammation and reduce microbiome diversity. Diversifying your diet will help ensure proper digestion and improve overall health. Adding more fruits and vegetables into your daily meal plan will improve your digestion health and improve overall health.
Avoid Monosaccharides with hidden sources
You can make changes to your diet to reduce monosaccharides’ hidden sources, and improve your gut health. Make sure you eat fermented veggies, unprocessed beef, and fiber-rich vegetables. Some foods can actually harm the beneficial bacteria that reside in the gut. If you’re seeking a diet that favors gut health, try eliminating foods that cause digestive symptoms such as sugar and gluten. Probiotic supplements are also an option. Probiotic supplements can help your body build beneficial bacteria. Stress can cause damage to the beneficial bacteria that reside in your gut.
Research has proven that a diet high on fiber and omega-3 fat acids can help reduce the amount of pro-inflammatory bacteria found in the gut. Gut health is also improved through flavonoids. Foods belonging to the cabbage family and vegetable broths are excellent sources of flavonoids. These are vital to encourage healthy gut bacteria. It is also important to drink plenty of water, stay clear of alcohol and limit your consumption of processed food.
Eat foods rich in polyphenols
Polyphenols, a form of antioxidant can be found in a variety of plants. They guard against diseases and also have beneficial effects for the microbiome. Polyphenols are particularly abundant in vibrant fruits and vegetables. People who have a lower risk of certain diseases prefer to eat a diet rich in vegetables and fruits. Try to include more organic foods in your diet, like vegetables and fruits, and stay clear of foods that are processed or contain added chemicals.
Flavonoids are the biggest class of polyphenols. These include the well-known quercetin and anthocyanin. Both green and black teas are rich in polyphenols. Certain of these compounds are thought to have anti-cancer properties. Here are some suggestions to help you incorporate enough polyphenols in your diet.
While NSAIDs are commonly prescribed to relieve pain, they could have detrimental effects on the gut. Inflammation may cause ulcers, bleeding or other symptoms. They can also contribute to long-term issues that affect the gut, including IBS, leaky gut syndrome and Crohn’s disease. In the end, you should avoid NSAIDs to promote gut health and prevent these adverse side effects.
Although antibiotics can be a highly effective treatment for serious bacterial infections they are often misunderstood or used too often. Antibiotics should be only prescribed by your doctor and should not be used as a self-treatment. Antibiotics as well as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs) disrupt the normal balance of bacterial activity in the gut. This is why avoiding NSAIDs is so important for promoting gut health.
Drink fermentable fiber
Fiber is an excellent way to improve your health. It’s not a difficult job, and you can discover a variety of fiber-rich foods, such as fruits and vegetables Whole grains, as well as VINA sodas. All of these foods are essential to a the healthy gut microbiome. Fiber is essential to maintain healthy cholesterol levels as well as lowering blood pressure.
Recent advancements in microbiome research have resulted in an increasing number of probiotic and prebiotic components that can improve your gut health. The research continues to show that prebiotics’ fermentation may improve the immune system as well as improve blood cholesterol levels. While the role of these products is undetermined, there are plenty of positive effects. One study showed that fermentable fibers could improve the control of glycemic levels, while other studies did not show any benefit.
Researchers at the University of New Mexico discovered that regular exercise is good for the health of the stomach. Exercise can promote healthy growth of bacteria which is essential for our overall health. This, in turn, can improve our moods and psychological health. It also plays a key role in neurogenesis. It helps in the growth of new neural connections in the brain. You should choose a kind of exercise that promotes gut health.
The effects of exercise on gut microbiomes were observed in a study that followed two previously inactive males and women for six months. Particularly, both groups showed improvements in gut bacteria composition and also higher levels of physiologically relevant metabolites. Both aerobic exercise of high intensity as well as voluntary wheel running led to an increase in bacteria that reside in the gut. While these results seem promising, they must be confirmed by further research.

We aim to create a cohousing development in Berkshire which will give 20 to 40 households of various sizes and age ranges their own self-contained homes, a percentage of which will be housing for rent or part-buy. Our common indoor areas will include kitchen, dining area and lounge for shared meals and socializing. There will also be provision for office and workshop space, potentially small business units for rent, and some common outdoor space.
The development will be managed by the residents using consensus decision making where possible. Whether new-build, renovation or a mix of the two, the architecture and design will facilitate social and environmental sustainability. The location will have good transport connections, and we will foster good relations with, and aim to provide some benefits to, the surrounding community.

Review sponsored* by Patricia Luhovey
The Children’s Book Review | August 1, 2015
Written by Patty Luhovey
Illustrated by Bridget Dowty
Age Range: Emerging readers 4 years and up
Hardcover: 55 pages
Publisher: Self-Published (2015)
What to expect: Religious themes, Moral teaching, Adventure, Humor
Participating in the rich tradition of parables that illustrate moral and religious teachings through animal tales, Life in the Meadow with Madie: Mr. Earl’s Missing Eyeglasses presents the story of a community coming together to help out someone in need. When elderly Mr. Earl the Squirrel takes a fall and hurts himself, losing his glasses in the process, Madie, a young duckling, encourages the community to come together around Mr. Earl in a spirit of helpfulness. Working together proves challenging, and the community learns that doing Good is much more challenging than merely wishing for it. Through it all, the community perseveres, finding the missing eyeglasses (in a surprising place!) and, ultimately, much more than that. By rallying around someone in need, the community comes together in a spirit of charity, building new bonds with one another and making a stronger community in the process. As a helpful bird named Rita recounts, having played her part, “I feel so happy inside to have helped Mr. Earl.”
The tale of recovering the missing glasses, and helping Mr. Earl get around with a cane and limited eyesight, contains various levels of moral teaching, including beautiful messages on the meaning of family and community, the ability to love one another beyond our faults, and—perhaps most fundamentally—that doing good is difficult work. This final message emphasizes the teaching that stepping out into the world to do Good is a necessary component of enacting Faith, one that is more difficult than passively wishing for improvements. Bridget Dowty’s wonderful illustrations serve to underscore the strong character development of the narrative, and also highlight key moments in the text in ways that children will certainly enjoy. The relationship between text and image in fact underscores another one of the great virtues of this very fine book: it will engage a wide range of children. The moral teaching is intelligently presented in a way to encourage discussion and further thought, an enriching process that will lead child and parent alike into continually enriching discussions of family, community, and faith. In every sense of the word, this is a truly insightful book.
Add this book to your collection: Life in the Meadow with Madie: Mr. Earl’s Missing Eyeglasses
About the Author
Patty Luhovey began to write Life in the Meadow with Madie: Mr. Earl’s Missing Eyeglasses by hand in a paper notebook in 2009. The inspiration for Madie was her great niece Madison. Her three great nieces–Madison, Eliza and Delaney–and great nephew Dalton are all characters in the story. A number of the children’s sayings inconspicuously appear in the story as well. Several of the story’s other characters are also based upon family members, even her daughter’s dog Carli. She won’t tell you who Scooter is, though.
She has incorporated spiritual elements as her and her children continued to study the Bible together. Because of this, she believes the story is much stronger and offers parents many teaching opportunities as it fosters discussion around numerous spiritual truths and lessons. She hopes you and your children enjoy it.

Best Konnakol Moments | Ghatam Giridhar Udupa | Indian classical music | Carnatic music
#giridharudupa #bestghatam #Konnakol #carnaticmusic #percussion #darbarfestival
You will love this Best Ghatam Konnakol with Ghatam exponent Giridhar Udupa who is a percussionist par excellence from India. This video is from the concert titled ‘Percussion Masters’ - a percussion ensemble consisting of the Tabla, Jori, Mridangam and Ghatam. It is a 5 minute Konnakol solo recital of the young Ghatam player will definitely give you a boost. You can feel the energy in this presentation which loved by all of the musicians on the stage and in the audience. This is one of our favourite Konnakol solo recitals.
Ghatam and Giridhar Udupa are synonymous in Carnatic Music. He started training in Mridangam, a different percussion instrument altogether, under his father Vidwan Ullur Nagendra Udupa from the age of 4. In an interview to Darbar, he reminisces how he was more fluent in the rhythm syllables of the Mridangam before he had even learned the first syllables of his mother tongue.
Ghatam happened in the process of an experimental adventure by his father. At age 9, one of his father’s colleagues had a Mridangam concert in which, he needed a Ghatam accompanist. Giridhar was taught the first few basics of Ghatam overnight by his father after which, he played the concert which captivated the seniors and also made him realize that perhaps, Ghatam was his calling.
A charming stage presence with a cherubic smile, Giridhar is one of the few musicians of his genre who has pushed the boundaries of a hoary tradition and collaborated with other genres of music, making it a happy marriage of ideas and disciplines.
Notice the modulation of his voice and the way he sets to motion, a peppy groove throughout his recitation – it sets an example of how music can be made universally appealing even though a strict adherence to age-old traditions is maintained at the same time.

Community Psychiatry’s Pavan Madan, M.D. was featured in Reader’s Digest discussing how 2020 can be beneficial for introspection.
Why 2020 Might Have Been the Wake-Up Call We Needed
Elizabeth Yuko, 06/16/2020 | Reader’s Digest
It may seem like things are falling apart this year, but it’s actually a new beginning.
The year everything changed
It’s no secret that 2020 has been rough so far. The year started out with massive bushfires in Australia, then quickly segued into the COVID-19 pandemic. Then, once states started the process of reopening at the end of May, George Floyd was killed while in police custody in Minneapolis and it was caught on video, providing graphic visuals to the plague of police violence that never seems to improve. Since then, there have been protests in all 50 states against racial injustice, some of which have turned violent—many at the hands of police officers. Adding to everything is the upcoming presidential election in November, coming at a time when the country is extremely divided.
It has made us realize how social we actually are
For many of us, this is the start of our fourth month in lockdown. If you’re been quarantining with your family, partner, or roommates, you may wish you had more alone-time. But for those who live alone, the isolation has been a lot. “Many people had to come to terms with their difficult and complicated emotions during this very trying and unprecedented time,” Pavan Madan, MD, a psychiatrist at Community Psychiatry, tells Reader’s Digest. “Humans are social animals. Research has shown that good social support is protective in preventing and treating several mental health conditions, including depression. While social isolation has made it difficult for some to have the support, others have become acutely aware of the impact of social isolation on their lives and have taken steps to keep in touch with their family and friends more than ever before.”
It has made us pay attention to what we’re eating
For a lot of people, making their own meals is the norm. But for others, the pandemic was a rude awakening. Sure, delivery was available in some places, but people started getting used to cooking for themselves—a trend that will ideally continue once the pandemic ends. “Good nutrition is essential for both our physical and mental well-being,” Madan explains. “This may have been a wake-up call for many about what they have been putting into their bodies. When people cook their own food, they become aware of what goes into the meals they eat; this awareness usually propels people to be more mindful of choosing healthy meal options and eating at regular intervals—avoiding binge eating or yo-yo dieting.”

Caprese Salad With Home Grown Basil
Made with the basil leaves from my balcony, that I planted from seeds.
"Caprese" means "from (the island of) Capri" in Italian. It consists of ripe tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil leafs, extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper. Some people do variations (adding pesto sauce, for example). Like most italian recipes, it has few ingreds and therefor you must use the most fresh and quality ingreds you can find. If you like the tomato zest olive oil cheese combo, take a look at this.

|Why don't I get the typical yellow flowers in the spring any more. It get plenty of green leaves and is very full.
|Answer from NGA
May 9, 2007
|There are two main reasons why forsythias might not bloom. One is that it has been pruned at the wrong time. These shrubs bloom on wood that grew the year before. The best time to prune is in the spring right after it blooms. Pruning at other times will remove flowering wood. The other big reason is too much shade. This plant likes full sun all day long or at bare minimum for six hours including the noontime hour. In less sun, it will bloom less. Sometimes nearby trees grow over the years and an area that used to be sunny becomes shady instead. I hope this helps you trouble shoot.

Private Eyes is a rock band from Munich, created by Franz Bader and Freddie Mack. Both of them have a long history of being frontmen/singer/guitarists/songwriters in their respective bands, Freddie with his hard rock trio Liquid Meat an Franz with his indie rock bands Jetlights and the Aberdeens. If you count together the times each of them have been on stage it totals to more than 200 gigs played, including Festivals of all sizes such as Frequency, Wacken, Sinnflut, and Theatron Musiksommer, and between them, they have spent more than their fair share of time in the studio resulting cumulatively in 7 Albums. The two of them have spent countless hours trading “war stories” about their experiences on and off stage, but despite having so much in common, the two brothers in arms never once pl (...) Mehr anzeigenayed together. But that finally changed in the winter of 2015, when they met for a jam session that resulted in their first song. This continued on an almost bi-weekly basis, every time resulting with new material. Franz and Freddie did not have to compromise their styles, somehow Freddie's american rock n roll riffs were perfectly complemented by Franz' moody brit rock licks and to their amazement it created the happiest and most upbeat music either of them have ever created. Now they faced the question…what are we actually doing here and where is it going anyways? They were way too excited about the results of their collaboration to keep it to themselves, and thus the band Private Eyes was born. To complete the line up, Freddie’s rhythm section from Liquid Meat joined the pack, with Max Horch on bass and Giovanni Raabe on drums. Together, they went to the studio on March 20th to record their yet untitled EP, one day after their first gig at Germany’s biggest high school organized music festival, the 10th Annual Rock Am Klenze. A lot has happened in only a short few months, and if all goes well, there is plenty more to come. Weniger anzeigen

Gojira in the studio
It appears that Gojira has been in the studio as of late working on material for an undisclosed purpose. As you can see from the social media posts below, the band has been ensconced at their own Silver Cord Studio in Brooklyn, NY "cooking something up," though what that something is remains unclear. It's been roughly two years since the band released their last album, Magma, so perhaps they're working on a new record. Perhaps not.

Most U.S. families with children will get six monthly payments from the government in 2021, starting July 15. Parents and guardians may spend this money – $300 per child under 6 and $250 for every kid or teen who is 6 and up – on groceries, computers, child care, sneakers or however else they see fit.
Eighty-eight percent of U.S. families with children under 18 are eligible for this new allowance Congress approved in March as part of a coronavirus relief package, which extends the child tax credit to the lowest-earning Americans. In addition to getting either $250 or $300 a month per kid for six months, families will also get a tax credit equal to six more monthly installments at tax time in 2022. The Internal Revenue Service is responsible for delivering the money, which will total either $3,000 or $3,600 per child.
Getting this no-strings-attached money from the government may seem almost routine after those three other “economic impact payments” meant to ease the economic strains the COVID-19 pandemic caused. But, as experts writing for The Conversation U.S. have pointed out, this new cash infusion is significant in many ways.
1. Crossing an item off Nixon’s to-do list
The government nearly launched a similar payment system on a permanent basis during the Nixon administration more than 50 years ago, explains Leslie Lenkowsky, an Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy professor.
It “died after a long and acrimonious battle in Congress,” Lenkowsky explains. He is watching to see whether President Joe Biden and many lawmakers succeed as they seek to extend these allowances either for several years or the foreseeable future.
“Whether the outcome will be the same this time around will say a lot about how Americans now think about how the government should approach social policies – and society’s obligations to support families,” Lenkowsky writes.
2. Becoming more like other rich countries
Family allowances are very common in other affluent countries, such as Germany, Finland and Canada, observes Joya Misra, a University of Massachusetts at Amherst sociologist who studies how public policies influence inequality.
“Child poverty is extremely high in the U.S., relative to other rich countries, primarily because for decades it has spent less on supporting families with children,” Misra writes. “Nearly 1 in 5 American children live in poverty, far above the 12% average for the 37 wealthy and middle-income countries that belong to the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation.”
Misra has no doubt that these payments will reduce child poverty. But she questions whether they will cut poverty in half – as has been widely reported. One reason is that the range in what it can cost to raise children in different places within the U.S. varies widely across the U.S. “Clearly this boost to the child tax benefit will mean different things for families in different parts of the country,” she notes.
3. Making a long-term difference
For the cash-strapped families that get this money, it may seem to be solving short-term problems, such as no longer having to choose between a trip to the supermarket and filling a prescription.
“Many studies conducted in recent years show that lifting children from the burdens of poverty has the potential to improve their health and ability to get a good education,” they explain. As a result, the three economists predict these payments could have “lasting benefits.”
4. Not humiliating anyone
The family allowance approach is also significant for what it won’t do: force anyone to feel as if they need to sacrifice their dignity to prove their eligibility.
“For one of the first times in modern U.S. history,” the government “recognizes that nearly all U.S. families with children deserve support and treats them the same way,” writes Wendy Bach. A University of Tennessee law professor, she researches the often-humiliating and punitive hurdles that poor families face when they apply for some government benefits.

Life: Episode V, SBO Strikes Back
In 2004, there was a surgical intervention. One side-effect of a surgical intervention is the formation of scar tissue and possible adhesions. These raise the risk of future bowel obstruction episodes.
Think of the intestines as ribbons in a bowl (abdominal cavity). Normally, they slip and slide past each other without incident. But if one has scar tissue so they aren't so smooth in certain patches and they are sticky (adhesions), the ribbons will not always slip and slide past each other as smoothly and every once in a while they get stuck. At that point, the plumbing analog gives you the best picture - things get backed up!
And so it was at 2AM Thursday January 30. Sometimes, the pain goes away in an hour or so and I return to regular life. But by 8AM, the pain had not receded and I was concerned and phoned my primary care physician. He was booked for the day but slotted me in with one of the younger doctors in the office. J drove me to the office for the 10AM appointment.
The doctor had my medical history so she knew to ask about how the pain compared to previous episodes. She then listened for "bowel sounds" and then did a physical exam feeling different parts of my belly and asking where it hurt when she would press. My regular PCP swung by and they talked about my situation with me and agreed I should be sent to the ER at Santa Monica UCLA Orthopaedic Hospital.
ER's in big cities are busy places and the physical space of the ER often shows the signs of the wear and tear of lots of patients coming through. It took an hour or so before I was assigned an exam room. As I walked in, I could see patients in the hallways.
An IV line was put in, blood was drawn and I was given the "pink liquid" to drink for the CT scan. The pink liquid has bound iodine which allows the radiologist to see how well things are flowing/not flowing in my intestinal tract. One drinks the liquid a bit at a time and eventually when I drank enough of it and it had some time to work its way through my system, I was wheeled into the CT scanner for pictures. This was followed by another set of pictures with iodine introduced through the IV. The sensation of the iodine coursing throughout the body is unmistakeable hence the radiology technician always tells you in advance what you will experience so it won't be so alarming.
With the two sets of pictures completed, I was wheeled back to the ER exam room.
As I mentioned, the ER exam area is crowded with mere curtains separating the exam beds. The two patients nearest me were clearly elderly patients. I didn't actually see them but I could hear the doctors asking them questions. Since they could not hear well, the doctors and nurses were asking them questions quite loudly! And indeed, from the questions, their conditions were quite serious.
Eventually, the ER doc on my case came in and said, you got a partial small bowel obstruction and we are going to put a nasal gastric tube into you and admit you into the hospital.
The nurses came to put in the NG tube and explained what they would do. Having been through the procedure four times before, I knew the drill. Nonetheless, the sensation of having a plastic tube threaded into your nose and down your throat into your stomach is not something you ever get used to.
I was moved into a room in 4NW - fourth floor north wing. The low steady suction was turned on. I was given a shot for the nausea which would eventually recede as the NG tube took out backed up fluid in my stomach. The IV kept me hydrated, my potassium levels at the proper level, and provided calories. When evening rolled around they gave me a stomach acid blocker through the IV and a shot to stave of blot clots. The shot was into my belly fat!
Friday morning brought the morning blood draw, x-ray and visit by the surgical team. Later I was visited by the hospitalist. The hospitalist is like the primary care doctor but she/he works in the hospital. Both the surgeon and hospitalist seemed upbeat about my situation. SBO is not an uncommon reason for hospitalization and their plan was to let the NG tube work and avoid surgery if at all possible. They encouraged me to get up and walk around.
A huge thank you to the nurses and staff of 4NW! You guys/gals are terrific. And thanks to the docs - PCPs, ER, radiologists (never actual met them!), surgical consult team and hospitalists!

This is only the second time I've ever made Pao de Queijo. The first time was a few years ago when a friend from Brazil told my family that we simply had to try to make them...because they are so very good. I honestly cannot remember the recipe I used on my first attempt....but I did remember that they were a cross between cream puff pastry and crusty bread rolls. This time I followed the recipe from Dulce Delight. She has a very entertaining video where she goes through the process and I love to use the Kitchen Aid stand mixer whenever I can....and this seemed like a very good option to save my arms so serious work. As it happens....these little gems are gluten free and really quite delicious. They are savoury and addictive with a crisp exterior and a chewy inside. Properly made, these little cheese breads, are made with a blend of two types of tapioca starch. Unfortunately I was only able to find (sweet) tapioca starch locally and even an internet search for the (sour) tapioca starch did not prove to be fruitful. There is no telling how much more wonderful these might be if only I had access to all the proper ingredients. Regardless.....even with my substitutions of convenience, they were quite good.
As we are carb limited in the house at the moment.....I froze the bulk of the dough in small balls...ready to bake up for our neighbourhood potluck in another week from now....and I only baked 5 to taste tonight.
This month's Daring Bakers' Challenge took us on a trip to beautiful Brazil! Renata of "Testado, Provado & Aprovado!" taught us how to make Pao De Queijo, tasty cheese buns that make the perfect snack or treat, and that will make your taste buds samba!
Pao de Queijo
(adapted from Dulce Delight)
400 g tapioca starch
1/4 tsp salt
55 mL vegetable oil
300 mL whole milk
2 large eggs
200 g Dubliner Cheese (That's what I used but Monterey Jack is suggested)
100 g parmesan
Heat milk, oil, butter and salt in a heavy bottomed pot until just boiling. While the milk mixture is heating, sift your starch and salt into the bowl of you kitchen aid stand mixer. Once the milk is heated, pour all into the starch in the mixer and stir slowly with a spoon to wet the starch. Turn on mixer and mix until the mixture resembles a smooth paste and it has cooled down enough to just feel warm. Add one egg and beat in on medium speed until it is smooth and creamy looking. Add the second egg and mix until fully incorporated. Continue mixing and add the grated cheeses until all mixed in.
Heat oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with parchment. Roll balls of dough with oiled hands to the desired size and bake until golden on the bottom....15-25 min depending on size.

The artificial intelligence-powered chatbot ChatGPT performed better than many students on MBA exams at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, a professor says.
"Chat GPT3 would have received a B to B- grade on the exam," writes Professor Christian Terwiesch in "Would Chat GPT3 Get a Wharton MBA?" "This has important implications for business school education."
"OpenAI's Chat GPT3 has shown a remarkable ability to automate some of the skills of highly compensated knowledge workers in general and specifically the knowledge workers in the jobs held by MBA graduates including analysts, managers, and consultants," Terwiesch writes.
The AI bot is also able to do "professional tasks" such as "writing software code and preparing legal documents," he says.

The factor structure of the externalizing spectrum in adolescence and the role of GABRA2
The present study tested the factor structure of the externalizing disorders (e.g. attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), conduct disorder (SE), and substance experimentation (SE) ) in adolescence. In addition, this study tested the influence of the GABRA2 gene on the factors of the externalizing spectrum. Confirmatory factor analyses were used to test the factor structure of the externalizing spectrum. Specifically, three competing alternate confirmatory factor analytic models were tested: a one-factor model where all disorders loaded onto a single externalizing factor, a two-factor model where CD and SE loaded onto one factor and ADHD loaded onto another, and a three-factor model, where all three disorders loaded onto separate factors. Structural equation modeling was used to test the effect of a GABRA2 SNP, rs279858, on the factors of the externalizing spectrum. Analyses revealed that a three-factor model of externalizing disorders with correlated factors fit the data best. Additionally, GABRA2 had a significant effect on the SE factor in adolescence, but not on the CD or ADHD factors. These findings demonstrate that the externalizing disorders in adolescence share commonalities but also have separate sources of systematic variance. Furthermore, biological mechanisms may act as a unique etiological factor in the development of adolescent substance experimentation.

Engineering characteristics of autonomous agent architectures
2000 (English)In: Journal of experimental and theoretical artificial intelligence (Print), ISSN 0952-813X, Vol. 12, no 2, 191-212 p.Article in journal (Refereed) Published
As the science of building agents and agent based applications improves, agents are gradually making the transition from research laboratory prototypes to industrial applications. In an industrial setting pragmatic engineering issues related to the development and maintenance of agents come to the fore. In this paper a list of important engineering characteristics of agent architectures is presented. The list has the dual aims of providing evaluation criteria for agent users and design issues for agent architecture designers. Evaluation of an architecture with respect to the presented characteristics will allow industrial project managers to better assess the trade offs between architectures. Designing architectures that better fulfill the characteristics should lead to more industrially relevant architectures and successful agent applications. This list is designed to start discussion and raise awareness of industrial issues. It is hoped that over time good metrics and an evaluation methodology evolve which provide a robust framework for evaluating agent architectures with respect to industrial concerns.

The Great Cover Up, great cover songs done by pub bands. This CD Album is a virtual band, recorded one track at a time on my computer. I learn and practice every part of each song before recording. Many of these songs I have done busking solo for decades and many I have played Bass Guitar in other lineups, some songs are new to me.
Song List Recorded so far:
- Proud Mary CCR
- Sunshine of Your Love Cream
- Where do the Children play Cat Stevens
- Wish You Were Here Pink Floyd
- Like a Hurricane Niel Young
- Lotta Love Niel Young
- Star Man David Bowie
- Have You Ever seen the Rain CCR
- Money Pink floyd
- Heard it through the grapevine Marvin Gaye
- Ziggy Stardust David Bowie
- Space Oddity David Bowie
Mark and the Mp3s, Live show small concerts and busking around Wellington, NZ. To make a backing band, at the end of the production process, Mute the Lead Vocal and 1 Guitar track and export (mix down), then encode to mp3 compressed file format. Plug in the mp3 player and make a copy of the file. With the prerecorded backing, I can perform with a whole band sound, busking in the streets, with full control over the volume.
Introducing the Band. I have had the black Bass Guitar the longest (since 1991) it is a small Vester copy of a Fender with a split front pickup. The red electric guitar is a ES-335 copy, also a Vester that I collected in 2001 (hollow body f-hole). The acoustic 6 string is an old FG Yamaha with a Fishman pickup, I was given this guitar in 2003.
To help me get the correct sound for many of the songs on this CD, a friend Dave let me borrow his 12 string Tanglewood guitar. In 2005 my sister Catherine gave me her old Rolland HP 600 digital midi piano, she got it new in 1984. So that’s what I play my backing band with.
Bus Tunnel Studios has grown a bit since I started recording music in 2001 after completing a Multimedia course. In the past 5 years I have collected enough music gear to put on a proper concert in a small venue and also DJ, as well as recording multi-track music on computer.
The Behringer mixing desk is small but I am only recording 1 track at a time. It has all I need to plug in a Duo and DJ live, as well as record. It has effects send and return to get a nice blend. The zoom effects rack has over 500 effects but I only ever use about 20 of them. To get a good bench space was a gift so it doesn’t take up all of the room.
Don’t You just Love Technology? I had to get another sound card when my old computer died. I built it from a pile of new parts in 2003, so I got a good run from it, but none of my other computers record in full duplex. That means that I must be able to hear myself as I am recording, along with the playback of the other parts.
Finding old PCI cards was a chore but it was only $20 so I’m not complaining about waiting for shops to open again, I am recording again in 16-bit. Another sound card I got is proving a lot more complex to install without crashing my very old multi-track program. If I get the M-Audio card going, it records in 24-bit definition, worth some effort.
Someone asked what microphones do I use? How much one spends on the microphones is a measure of a good studio, mine is a very limited budget. The Vocal Microphone is an average Stage Mic, Audio Technica and there is a nice Pencil Mic I think is worth twice that, although old and beat up looking (drum stick hit it) it was rebuilt but nobody used it again so I am grateful that it ended up here. Both are built solid.
Recording Technique Tip To get the best sound out of Dave’s 12 string guitar, one track is plugged into the guitar’s pickup and pan 100% Left, the next track is set the pencil microphone near the guitar soundboard and pan 100% to the Right. The Computer has only 1 stereo input.
Once on the computer one uses a Wave File Editor to split it into 2 stereo files. This gives 2 tracks of the same guitar take. One can adjust the volumes to get the best blend of tones and EQ. The internal pickup has a different sound to what the ear can hear. The pencil microphone is better suited to instruments than the vocal microphone.
Although the mixing desk can deliver phantom power to fancy condenser microphones (they need the boost because they are so sensitive) it might not be well suited because my flat is quite near to Rongati Airport.

On to the next adventure. As always during the second week of October (around the 11-13th) Braden and I do our Stewart Falls hike! This was our 3rd year going and was just before we got… engaged! (more to come on that later!)
The temperature was perfect fall and the colors were starting to fade away with late fall temperatures. This year I was a little disappointed to find the upper falls wimpy… (I mean just look in this picture!) But the lower falls were still glorious! And still this is one of my favorite hikes ever!
And of course we climbed up to explore the little pool in the middle and hung out for a while! It was a great anniversary of our very first date! (I call it the “friendship anniversary” as it was also the first time we ever hung out and lead to the best friend I ever had!)
We finished off a great hike with amazing pizza and relaxing at home! 🙂

Construction is now underway at a mixed-use development just north of the Braddock Road Metro station.
Braddock Gateway Phase II and Phase III broke ground last Friday at 1200 N. Fayette Street, according to an employee at Carmel Partners, the investment company behind Phase III of the project.
Phase II of the project will have 258 residential units and 8,150 square feet of retail while Phase III will have 370 apartment units and approximately 2,700 square feet of ground-floor retail, according to a staff report.
The project will also add to some of the surrounding infrastructure.
“Infrastructure, streetscape and open space improvements are also proposed with this development application, including the extension of North Fayette Street to Slaters Lane and construction of a new public pocket park on the adjacent parcel that is owned by the City,” the report said.
An underground parking garage is planned, with 337 parking spaces.
The site is built above what was once home to Metro Church DC and a large parking lot. The report notes that the new development conforms to city plans to create a more walkable Braddock neighborhood.
The employee at Carmel Partners said no one in their office knew when the project was expected to be completed.
Hey @AlexandriaNow, do you know what is currently being built at the old "Metro Church" site near the Braddock metro? It's a massive lot.
