It happened in Lercara Friddi (PA), where a young dancer of 23 years, son of Mauritians but born in Italy and adopted after birth, Davide Mangiapane, was beaten and offended with racist phrases (‘dirty negro come back home, you’re not worthy to stay with us “) near a pub. For the assault, a 29-year-old young man who is a warehouse worker and a 16-year-old relative were reported for personal injury and violence. The incident dates back to last July 21st, but it was announced only in recent days because the victim had not filed a complaint. How many other episodes, like this one, do not even go back to the local news, are they derelicted to facts of crime or are not reported for fear of retaliation?
Another aggression took place against a 24-year-old migrant from Gambia, Buba Ceesay, a guest of the parish of Don Massimo Biancalani, in Vicofaro (PT). Against him, during the night of August 2, around 11 pm, one or two shots of the pistol were fired, accompanied by racist offenses (to the cry ‘Negroes of *****’). The young man was fortunately unharmed. Two young Italians would shoot. The same parish priest of Vicofaro, Fr. Massimo Biancalani, told about his Facebook profile, after reporting the fact to the police station.
In Naples, also on 2 August, around 10 pm, Cissé Elhadji Diebel, a 22-year-old Senegalese street vendor, was shot and wounded by two people on a scooter in the Vasto district. “They fired three shots. One went blank, one hit my right leg and the phone saved my left. ” Cissé was with two friends according to whom the attackers would have fired on the group without saying a word.
And after this latest aggression, a protest demonstration of the Senegalese Community of Naples was held last Friday, together with the activists of the anti-racist network who kept in mind that these are not isolated cases, and have listed the most recent ones: “The aggression against a Nigerian citizen in Villa Literno, an immigrant from Mali hit with a shotgun in San Cipriano, three Bangladeshi citizens beaten at Lake Patria, among others “.
Even in Monselice (PD), Fouad Bamaarouf, 45, a Moroccan citizen, was beaten on the doorstep and forced to take care of the emergency room. For him, a contusive trauma to the head and abdomen and five days of prognosis. Someone knocked on his door at midnight. When he opened, a fist hit him violently in the face and another in the abdomen, causing him to fall to the ground. The attacker has vanished and he has only to ask for the intervention of 118. “In the late afternoon of Wednesday a man, in the car, has lowered the window and filled me with offenses, showing me the middle finger and taking it with his my nationality, “said Fouad.” The fact is that I met him again at the bar and there we met rather harshly. ” According to Fouad’s story, the man had it with him because, in the past, “a Moroccan” had stolen his watch. On the night after the altercation, aggression.
Fortunately, there are also positive facts in reaction to the brutality of what happens. Between episodes of violence, denunciations and “socialized” anger, the bar that stands against racism stands out. «No to racism, yes integrated Adria». This is the writing on the receipt of the bar ‘Lo spiffero’ of Adria, in the province of Rovigo, which is going around the social media. “Here in Adria – explains the owner of the bar – there have been no particular cases of racism. But I was impressed by what I read in the newspapers or heard on television. ” Also in recent days, a businessman from Veneto had bought the pages of some newspapers to launch a message in favor of the inclusion of migrants.
Concrete daily behaviors show that the anti-racism paths are endless, just deciding to take them.

France’s Crédit Agricole is selling most of its holding in Banque Saudi Fransi in the latest sign of upheaval in the banking sector of what is the largest economy in the Middle East.
The French lender is selling 16.2% of its stake in the bank to Kingdom Holding Company, the investment vehicle of Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, a member of the Saudi ruling family. The deal is worth SR5.8bn ($1.5bn), based on a price of SR29.5 per share, which is lower than Banque Saudi Fransi’s current share price on the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul).
The deal makes Kingdom Holding the largest shareholder in the bank, while Crédit Agricole will retain a 14.9% holding. The deal is due to close in the second half of the year.
In the future Crédit Agricole may sell an additional equity stake of up to 5% through off-market, block trade deals but, according to a statement issued by Banque Saudi Fransi to the Tadawul, the French bank is committed to keeping a stake of at least 9.9% for a year after the close of the transaction. Saudi Fransi says its employees and customers will not be affected by the changes.
Commenting on the deal, Prince Alwaleed said the investment “demonstrates our core belief in the outlook for the Saudi economy underpinned by Vision 2030 and the National Transformation Plan”. However, there are questions about the government's wider economic reform programme that he refers to. It recently emerged that the extremely ambitious National Transformation Plan is being revised amid doubts about whether its targets were achievable.
The latest development at Banque Saudi Fransi is echoed in the situation at another local lender, Alawwal Bank, where Royal Bank of Scotland has been seeking a buyer for its holding since at least last November. In April this year, Alawwal announced it had entered talks with Saudi British Bank (Sabb) about a merger of the two institutions.

Scars from Flint's Water Crisis Shake City's Faith in COVID Vaccine
"As a public health professional, I see the important need for prevention. I see the important need for a safe and credible vaccine to be distributed and administered equitably in our community," shared Dr. Debra Furr-Holden. But at the same time, "relationships are built on trust, and trust takes time," she shared with NBC News.
Flint Registry Set to Continue through 2021 with $4.5 Million
The $1.4 trillion federal COVID-19 spending bill includes funding to continue the Flint Registry for another year. The registry has more than 10,500 families signed up to receive advice and referrals for services that combat the effects of lead poisoning suffered during the Flint water crisis. The program has completed 13,500 referrals for health care, nutrition, early education, lead elimination programs and more since it was created in 2016.
Looking Back on COVID-19: Where We’ve Been and Some Hope Heading in 2021
2020 has been the deadliest year in American history with more than three million deaths. “It’s unfortunate because we’re in the era of better medicine, better innovation, and healthcare, yet we’re seeing this record-number of annual deaths,” Dr. Debra Furr-Holden said. The good news to round out 2020 is the emergency authorization of two new vaccines. “It’s a good thing that we have a vaccine available, and when you couple that with people wearing masks, practicing social distancing, and people having the resources that they need to stay safe, we start to build layers of protection that are going to be critical to get this pandemic under control,” she said.

Social and Psychological Consequences of the Covid-19 Pandemic in African-American Communities: Lessons From Michigan
Drs. Rodlescia S. Sneed, Kent Key, Sarah Bailey, and Vicki Johnson-Lawrence publish a journal article in the July issue of Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy. They discuss the mental health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic are particularly relevant in African-American communities because African-Americans have been disproportionately impacted by the disease, yet they are traditionally less engaged in mental health treatment compared with other racial groups.
COVID-19 Response: Alumni and Students
Like the far-reaching impact of the novel coronavirus outbreak, Spartans in Public Health have addressed the pandemic in unprecedented ways. Alumni and students rapidly applied their skills and their talents to actively address the evolving needs of the pandemic. These Spartans have helped address the epidemiology of disease transmission, worked to ensure patients are able to get their medicine safely, conducted risk assessments, developed containment strategies, provided psychiatric and mental health consultations to COVID-19 positive patients, volunteered to work the COVID-19 provider hotlines, performed autopsies, and more. Where there is a need, there is a Spartan in Public Health.
As Reopening Begins in Uncertain Coronavirus Times, You Need Emotional Protective Equipment, Too
As millions across the U.S. prepare to return to work – and maybe, a level of normalcy – the phrase, “We’re all in this together,” heard constantly in the media, turns out to be both true and untrue. Yes, the pandemic is a global experience. But it’s also very much an individual enterprise. Drs. Claudia Finkelstein, and public health researchers Jennifer E. Johnson and Julia Felton write about the need to focus on our "emotional protective equipment" as reopening begins in uncertain coronavirus times.

I never tire of hearing from mothers whose lives have been changed because of Online for Life.
When we came alongside DeAnn on the Internet, she was searching for abortion information in her neighborhood. A young single mom whose life was turned upside down by Hurricane Katrina, DeAnn had moved across the country to begin a new life. “
I thought this was a chance to start over,” she says about her cross-country relocation.
But DeAnn’s dreams of a new start seemed dashed when she became pregnant. The father of the baby, a man whom DeAnn believed truly loved her, abandoned DeAnn to face her pregnancy alone. DeaAnn then turned to the Internet to research her alternatives.
DeAnn’s story is not unusual. In fact, in the United States alone there are an estimated 2.2 million Internet searches for abortion and abortion-related terms every month. Online for Life is leading the way to connect with women facing unplanned pregnancies, so we can get them the help they need. Through our partnership with participating life-affirming pregnancy centers, we provide compassionate care to help abortion-determined women make a fully informed decision regarding their pregnancies.
Click here to sign up for daily pro-life news alerts from LifeNews.com
In DeAnn’s case, our life-affirming pregnancy medical center provided the only voice of encouragement in the midst of her confusion. “All my friends were telling me everything I can’t do…but this lady, she was just rooting me on and telling everything I could do.” That is the essence of our mission — to reach abortion-determined women and help them choose life.
Through a unique combination of compassion and technology, Online for Life has helped verifiably rescue more than 2,300 babies from abortion — and many of them were just days, even hours away from a scheduled abortion. To find out more about how you can get involved in the effort to help women like DeAnn, visit https://onlineforlife.org/.
LifeNews Note: Author, speaker, and business leader Brian Fisher is the President and Co-Founder of Online for Life, a transparent, metric-oriented, compassion-driven nonprofit organization dedicated to helping rescue babies and their families from abortion through technology and grace.

The Hydroelectric Energy rig demonstrates the basic principle of the conversion of kinetic energy of flowing water into electrical energy, via the rotation of a turbine (Pelton wheel) connected to an electric generator.
The Hydroelectric Energy rig consists of a large lower water tank and a small upper water tank. There are two water pumps: pump 1 lifts water from the lower to the upper tank, to replenish the water level; pump 2, which forces water into a water flow pipe, has a variable rate control, operated by the user. The water level of the upper tank is monitored and a low water level activates water pump 1. The water flow pipe is equipped with inline gauges to measure water flow rate and water pressure. When pump 2 is activated, a jet of water flows onto the cups of a Pelton turbine wheel. The rotation rate of the Pelton wheel is linked to the water flow rate. The Pelton wheel turbine is contiguous with an electromagnetic generator and these two components manifest an identical rotation rate. The electrical output of the generator is passed to a set of light-emitting diodes, which can act as either digital monitors of the power output of the generator or as loads for the output circuit of the generator.

Discussion in 'Sesame Merchandise' started by GelflingWaldo, Apr 30, 2007.
Hmm... that was pretty good, I don't think it could be one of my favorites, though.
I did some research, and if the next set has the season 6-10 premiers, then there are, by my count, at least three sketches that get repeated in multiple episodes throughout the set, at least seven sketches that were released in volume 1 (I feel like I counted 12, but I can't remember what some of them are), and at least eight sketches that have already been released on video or DVD outside of the Old School sets (two of which were also released on volume 1 in addition to being on other videos).
If not every episode on this next set is a season premier (and I really hope that episode 666 is included, as that's Roscoe Orman's first appearance as Gordon, has a skit from the first test pilot, has a Roosevelt Franklin skit, has the original What's the Name of That Song? and includes Rodeo Rosie), then I hope that Olivia's debut episode is included. That episode wasn't shown on Noggin (unless she was just introduced in one scene in an episode that Noggin showed but chose to cut for time, and if that's the case then it's odd that her debut would be cut).
Who's Rodeo Rosie?
Rodeo Rosie was performed by Jerry Nelson and premeired during the Season 6 premeire episode. She appeared probablly in way more books than episodes or skits.
Okay, but WHO is Rodeo Rosie? A Muppet character I gather, but I've never heard of her.
Yeah, I wanted to see "MAD!" on volume 1 too!
Yes, she was a Muppet. She was a cowgirl, made from the large lavendar anything mupet. She had orange hair and visible teeth. She appeared in books more than on the show. I don't ever remember seeing any skits with her. I've read about some scenes with her, and from what I've read, it seems like she was annoying.
Ah, okay, thanks.
I wonder if "The Ballad of Casey McPhee" will show up on Old School vol. 2?
If so, then I'll delete THAT from my YouTube favorite lists and flag it too... oh wait, it's already on that Elmo's twin cousin DVD...
Most likely not, because Jim Thurman, the creator of those cartoons, passed away not too long ago.
Um, Totally Spies Fan, the Monsterpiece Theater "Upstairs Downstairs" skit isn't from Season 8. It is actually from 1982, probably Season 13 or 14.
I know that Jerry Nelson usually performed Rodeo Rosie, but I heard that Richard Hunt also occasionally performed her (people on this thread remember seeing skits with her performed by Hunt). That would make her a pretty minor character if she has TWO Muppeteers. But I do remember seeing her in a LOT of books. I think she mostly appeared on the show in the 1970s, like Farley and the Busby Twins.
I know...It wasn't my fault. It was Phillip Kippel's fault.
I hope so! :cookie monster smiley:
If you watch that sketch you will see a framed picture of Dr.Teeth on the wall when Grover goes up the stairs.
This is so great! I'm excited!
Yeah, that kind of bugs me too. They should have given him a completely different name. Like...Skippy.
Yeah, she was kind of annoying. And I've only seen her in books. But hey, they needed a character to represent the annoying kids. So they made Rodeo Rosie.
Separate names with a comma.

Temper rise as planning battles seen in Suffolk’s attractive rural villages
Villages across the county have felt under siege from proposals to build new homes.
The long-running row in East Bergholt over plans for more than 200 new homes has caught the headlines – but there have also been skirmishes in Kersey, Boxford, Bildeston, Debenham, Chelmondiston, Botesdale and many other communities.
Developers often claim that bringing more homes to a village will allow them to safeguard local services like the pub, the village shop and the school. Plans of more than a handful of homes all have to contain an element of “affordable” housing available for social rent or as a mixed-tenure home.
However residents often fear that a large number of new homes will damage the rural nature of their village – and will bring with them more traffic. And developers often point out that many villages now have smaller populations than they did decades ago.

Nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 2 (NFATC2), also named NFAT1, or NFATP, is a 925 amino acid protein, which is expressed in thymus, spleen, heart, testis, brain, placenta, muscle and pancreas. Cytoplasmic for the phosphorylated form and nuclear after activation that is controlled by calcineurin-mediated dephosphorylation. Rapid nuclear exit of NFATC is thought to be one mechanism by which cells distinguish between sustained and transient calcium signals. The subcellular localization of NFATC plays a key role in the regulation of gene transcription. NFATC2 plays a role in the inducible expression of cytokine genes in T-cells, especially in the induction of the IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, TNF-alpha or GM-CSF. NFATC2 promotes invasive migration through the activation of GPC6 expression and WNT5A signaling pathway. The calculated molecular weight of NFATC2 is about 97-100 kDa, but the modified NFATC2 protein is about 135 kDa.

"the trusted voice of teens who travel"
September 19th, 2009
What better way to spend the last days before school than lazing down the Delaware River in an inner tube? A group of ten of us went tubing down the Delaware River and enjoyed a sunny but cool day having fun in the sun. Not to be missed halfway down our 2 hour journey was the Hot Dog man. It’s included if you pay for it before entering the water. We got to swim in the water as we pleased and we also got to float over some small rapids. If you are under 12 years old then you have to wear a life vest, but if you are 13 or older then you just have to bring one with you, but it was of course recommend to wear it anyway. You can use the life vests to tie onto other tubes to float alongside your friend in separate tubes. The famous hot dog man was very cool because the store floated in the water and you had to go up to order your lunch. There were a lot of wasps following us at the tables in the water to get our food. Tubing down the Delaware was a nice relaxing and fun way to spend one of the last days of summer with friends.

Want a quick and easy recipe for a delicious and indulgent treat!? Of course you do! If you haven’t heard of them before, microwave mug cakes are as straightforward and as simple as they sound. Combine a few ingredients in a mug and pop it in the microwave to bake for a few minutes. When your microwave pings you’ll be left with a tasty baked dessert! The best thing about them is that no oven’s required and there’s no mess!
The height of summer is usually a time when the days are long and the air is thick with the smell of barbecues. Unfortunately, it looks as though nature may have left those days behind altogether this year and gone right into winter where we are.
Still, we are an optimistic bunch at Ovenu and we think the sun will be back out before the fast-approaching bank holiday weekend, so here are some ideas for a total winner of a summer picnic for when the sunshine sky comes back into our lives!
So get that oven warmed up, because we’ve got a classic picnic staple on the cards for today – plus one of the best sandwiches you’ll ever taste.
I think we can all agree that us Brits love a good quality burger, however, the typical beef burger has been over-shadowed by the huge range of burger options throughout the UK. Here at Ovenu, we have put together burger recipes for you to create at home that you may not have thought of:
250g chickpeas from a can
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tsp ground coriander
2 tsp ground cumin
small pack flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 rounded tbsp plain flour
2 tbsp vegetable oil
4 burger buns, cut in half
1. Drain, rinse and dry the chickpeas thoroughly, then tip into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until lightly broken up into coarse crumbs.
2. Add the onion, garlic, spices, parsley, flour and some seasoning, and continue to pulse until combined. Using your hands, gently form the mixture into 4 patties about 10cm in diameter and 2cm thick.
3. In a large pan, heat the oil and fry the falafels on each side for 2-3 mins or until golden (you may need to do this in batches). Lightly griddle the burger buns on the cut side in a griddle pan, or toast under the grill.
4. Spread one side of each bun with houmous, top with a falafel burger, add a handful of watercress, then pop the remaining bun half on top.
You are all probably very familiar with Channel 4’s hit cooking show: Come Dine With Me, and its hilarious commentary by TV presenter Dave Lamb. You can’t knock it.
Over the years the show’s popularity has skyrocketed, and as a result the programme has gone on to inspire many of its viewers to host their own ‘Come Dine With Me’ themed dinner party. Read more
Rich Harris is a British chef, home economist and food stylist. He’s worked behind the scenes on some of the UK’s favourite cooking shows, including Masterchef, Great British Menu, Britain’s Best Dish and River Cottage to name just a few. You may also have spotted Rich on Waitrose’s very own TV channel, Waitrose TV, or in its magazine Harvest, where he also presents and writes.
After travelling to over 30 countries and working alongside many of the world’s most renowned chefs, Rich (otherwise known as The Food Insider) has experienced cooking inside some of the most high-pressured and exciting kitchens in the world.
We sat down with Rich to chat all things foodie, dishing the dirt on what’s it’s like to be a professional chef and how to keep your kitchen shipshape.
We’re big foodies here at Ovenu and any time someone suggests baking a dessert, we are all for it. We love all things sweet and sometimes our sweet tooth can get the best of us so we decided to look at decedent desserts that aren’t laden with excessive calories or loaded with sugar.
Sugar is a really important subject and if we’re making treats that kids will love we’re always mindful of not putting too much sugar in. Now the Government have introduced a sugar tax on sugar-laden drinks, do you think that sugar filled foods will be next? What do you think? Do you think that this is the way to tackle childhood obesity?
If you’re concerned about how much sugar your child is consuming but still want to enjoy a sweet treat, our recipes with low refined sugar will be for you.
Getting creative in the kitchen is half the fun of cooking or baking, but with great recipes come great challenges.
In recent years we’ve seen a shift in the health and wellness industry, with an array of new food styles and recipes come to the forefront of cooking.
We’ve seen it all: low-carb, high-fat, sugar-free, gluten-free, 5:2 and now veganism is in the spotlight.

Part 2 of the 2008 recession
Sep 29, 2011
Today's economy is looking more and more like a resumption of what happened in September 2008 with the collapse of AIG, Lehman Brothers, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, etc. Gold and silver got hammered in 2008 in a very similar manner as we are seeing this past week. Then the prices shot up to the sky. Are we seeing the same pattern again in 2011? Is this the resumption of the 2008 recession?
See what The Midas Letter has to say:
The hammering of commodities is a result of the same sequence of events that caused commodities to get nailed ahead of equities bottoming in 2008, as deteriorating asset values trigger margin calls and general fear on a grand scale, and so the things that still have value get sold at auction to pay for the things with no value, yet are owned on leverage.
This time, it’s the hedge funds and ETF’s that will lead the de-leveraging stampede, and at the end of the day, that’s good news for precious metals....
Make no mistake. This is a resumption of the crash that started at the end of 2008. Be ready to buy gold and silver when those markets turn, which they certainly will. The next peak in the gold price should be above $2200, and if the pattern of the last decade holds, that should be within the next 12 months.
I find this statement most interesting:
I think its safe to say the rest of the world is starting to looking beyond the looming collapse of the global economy at how we reinvent the system without the U.S. dollar and the Euro and Yen. In the meantime, the United States is going to keep trying to drag Europe into the same kind of un-repayable debt swamp the U.S. is in so that when the national defaults start happening, the misery will be shared, and every government will be on the same hot seat.
It is becoming quite clear that the West's economic system will have to be reinvented. In other words, it is unsustainable as is. The debt-based system worked as long as the nations and people could pay their monthly debts. But when we sent most of the jobs out of the country, the recession caught us without the ability to repay. The bankers are hoping that the army and police will enforce their eviction notices and force people to repay all debt. But that is simply not going to happen, because too many now know that the whole system is based upon fraud--money created out of nothing with the stroke of a pen, and loaned to us at interest.
They loaned us nothing, and ultimately they will be repaid in kind.

Dangote Cement Seeking to Double Capacity to 80 Million TonsLiezel Hill
Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, said he plans to double capacity at his cement company to 80 million metric tons a year as the company expands outside its home market of Nigeria.
Dangote Cement Plc, based in Lagos, currently has about 40 million tons of operational capacity in countries including South Africa and Senegal as well as Nigeria. The company recently opened plants in Cameroon, Ethiopia and Zambia and plans to start up a new operation in Tanzania this year.
Dangote is competing with European cement makers including LafargeHolcim Ltd. and HeidelbergCement AG in Africa, where demand is growing from increased government spending on infrastructure such as ports, railways and damns. The company said July 31 that net income gained 28 percent to 121.8 billion naira ($618 million) in line with expansion.
“Our target is to expand installed cement capacity in Africa outside Nigeria to a total of 40 million metric tons per annum, with Nigeria having the same capacity,” the billionaire said at the official opening of the 1.5 million-ton capacity operation in Ndola, Zambia on Tuesday.
The company is building another new plant in Zambia with a similar capacity to the Ndola operation, Sani Dangote, the company’s vice president and Aliko’s brother, said at the same event.

King Street is quite unlike any other in Sydney - last survey in 2012 reported more restaurants than residents (bald faced lie) with more appearing every day (also a lie). With so many places calling for your attention, you could probably do with a little guidance, yes? Lucky thing - here you go.
416 King Street
An outstanding example of daring cuisine in a venue positively brimming with that substance we call “hip”. Dishes are designed to be shared, so play along and just be grateful you get to try as much of their menu as you can before it disappears. That’s right - Bloodwood changes their menu every month, keeping you salivating and hungering for another visit. The polenta chips with gorgonzola dip are fantastic, and with any luck they’ll still be there. The beer menu is worth a mention too, with craft beers heralding from all over the place and not a damn VB in sight.
528 King Street
A Turkish restaurant and take-away with real character and authentic (read fantastic) dishes. Portion sizes are devastatingly generous, so go easy when you order that double chicken shish, tiger. Enjoy a vegetarian meal with real substance, like the supreme falafel wrap, and for good measure take a side of vine leaves or stuffed cabbage. As if this wasn’t already enough, you can polish off an evening with you and yours by indulging in some real turkish delight and a cup of turkish tea.
265 King Street
A thoroughly well-stocked and loved bookstore found on the hustle and bustle of King Street in Newtown. You can find anything from latest releases, timeless classics and even the odd rarity from local authors. Open late to draw in the evening diners, and honestly who isn’t dying to get into a bookstore between dinner and dessert? Literary lovers, tread carefully - you might get sucked in and spend a little too long pawing over the range of books inside. Dessert can wait, of course.
457a King Street
Whether you’re after a main meal or dessert, you can have both with a crepe! Claire’s Crepes will throw together savoury and sweet for your enjoyment, from mushroom and cheese to strawberries and nutella. The latter must be a favourite, as they’ve gone through enough giant nutella jars to decorate the place with them. If anyone can judge a good crepe it’s the French, and insider knowledge reveals that this is the closest you’ll get to Brittany, and direct from King Street too.
318 King Street
There are good gelato places and ‘holy-wow, this is some good gelato’ places. Gelato Blue has made itself royally at home in the second option and there’s no denying that it belongs there. All gelato is made on the premises, one tub at a time, and with the greatest care. For those generally barred from ice cream for their dietary restrictions, rejoice! Vegan and gluten-free options are available in many shapes and forms. If, like human-beings, you’d like your dessert to be heavily caffeinated/scrumptious, try an Affogato.

So, apparently peanut butter M&Ms are a thing.
I did not know about this.
I also did not know that M&Ms now come in sizes. No, not just different sized bags, but different sizes. You can buy giant bags of M&Ms in minis, regulars, and jumbos. I was unaware there was a large demand for various M&M sizes, but evidently I was wrong.
At any rate, these have happened.
And you know what, they're not all that bad.
They mostly taste like candy-covered peanut butter, and they could use more chocolate, but I'm pretty sure if they added more chocolate these would just be chocolate covered peanut butter eggs, and that's already a thing. They aren't quite as sweet as Reese's pieces, which was disappointing, but I'm probably going to eat them all anyway, because, yaknow, they're peanut butter M&M eggs.
I also bought a bag of the Carrot Cake M&Ms but very much considered cancelling the taste test, expecting a repeat of the Candy Corn M&Ms from last Halloween.
I was wrong.
I was very, very wrong.
These are actually delicious.
Strange, but delicious.
They taste like nutmeg and cream cheese frosting and some other things I haven't figured out yet (carrots, presumably). They do not taste like M&Ms, which is kind of unnerving. I keep expecting to get hit with some crazy chocolateyness to ruin them, but it hasn't happened yet, so I'll keep munching along until it does.
If you don't like carrot cake you will not like these, at all. Consider yourself warned. But if you feel so inclined to buy them anyway (perhaps due to the very seductive Playboy M&M on the front) I'm sure you'll be able to find a carrot-cake-loving friend who will appreciate them.
This is the part of the show where I ask you to comment about whether or not you like carrot cake, but instead of that, I challenge you to write your best "Dear Penthouse" letter about these sherbert-colored M&Ms. Twitter shout out to the winner! (I'd offer you a bag of M&Ms, but these aren't going to last long. Sorry.)

It's no surprise Sunhil has become synonymous with high gloss in his advertising work, given his background. His British accent was earned by surviving Public School at Harrow (cold showers in sub-zero temperatures, hazing that resulted in third-degree burns, and having to memorise the Gospel According to Mark by heart) and he wears the cap of a foreign director with just enough desi in him to bridge the gap between East and West.
Perhaps to counter all this posh, he has spent almost 10 years wandering parts of Mumbai that any other Harrovian would find nothing less than harrowing. Street photography (medium format film, 35mm film and digital) has become a major part of his artistic journey. It is through his careful observation of Mumbai and other cities that he finds himself even more invigorated and excited. This eye for architecture/design, portraits, and art is reflected in his beauty and lifestyle work.
Overall, it’s Sunhil's passion for the visual arts, his ability to find beauty in both classical and surprising ways, and turning ordinary, everyday sights into lasting, esoteric images that endure.
This is a carefully curated selection of his colour and monochrome photographic work along with a selection of his commercials . Follow him on Instagram @sunhilsippy

Interstitial-free (IF) steels are steels with very low amount of carbon and nitrogen. These types of steels have high flexibility at macrostructure state, but their yield strength is rather low. Despite numerous tries, no researcher has so far succeeded in the creation of an IF steel nanostructure.
Researchers have applied various severe plastic deformation methods on IF steels, but the minimum size of the obtained particles had been about 300 nm. Therefore, the wide application and advantages of nanostructured materials persuaded the researchers to carry out some studies in this regard in order to obtain nanostructured IF steels.
Researchers produced nanostructured IF steel in this research by using silicon carbide nanoparticles through severe plastic deformation method. The production of this nanocomposite leads to the production of a type of steel with much higher strength in comparison with the initial sample. Therefore, the required thickness can be reduced to one-fourth for specific applications, which consequently results in significant reduction in costs. The product of this research can also overcome the problem of low strength of vehicle bodies.
In this research, it can be expressed that the addition of ceramic particles, including silicon carbide (SiC) to IF steel sheets, can result in the production of nanostructures through cumulative rolling process. This method overcomes problems such as porosity remained in compressed samples, ball milling process impurities, and mass-production.
Results of the research have been published in Materials Characterization, vol. 93, issue 1, 2014, pp. 150-162.

German auto power Daimler could take a stake in its Chinese partner BAIC as it seeks to raise funds on capital markets, Daimler chief Dieter Zetsche said Monday at the Detroit auto show.
The huge Chinese carmaker is mulling taking its BAIC Motor unit public, and last week Dow Jones Newswires reported Daimler, the parent of Mercedes Benz and Smart, was weighing taking a 10 percent share in the company.
"BAIC is planning an IPO, we will support that intention," said Zetsche.
"In that context of course, we are negotiating what the framework would be."
Daimler already has joint ventures with BAIC to help the German firm build and market its cars and trucks in China, now the world's largest auto market.

I received a text from my dear friend Dana who asked what I thought about an article written by CNN HEALTH, regarding returning to intuitive eating. The gist of it was that if we return to our childlike self, where we listen to our bodies and know what we feel like eating, when we are hungry and when we aren't, then we can restore our bodies to the size they are supposed to be. It suggests that we stop discriminating against size, and feel more satisfied and happy along the way. This sounds terrific- if only...
Here is a link to the article,
INTUITIVE EATING: THE ANTI-DIET, OR HOW PLEASURE FROM FOOD IS THE ANSWER,
SAY IT'S CREATORS.
And here was my reply, with a few extra added words because I couldn't help myself when I started editing. Well, I have a mouthful to say.
Yes I think our bodies HAVE HAD more accurate internal sensors that WHEN interpreted correctly could guide our eating. These sensors must be rediscovered, for sure.
In a study giving children an array of choices everyday on a banquet table, often they would binge on certain foods for a few days and then switch to another and then another in the following days until they’d gotten all their macronutrient needs met over time.
This seems to mimic nature when a tribe would catch a deer and everyone would eat deer meat at each meal until it was gone. There was no round plate with half greens and veggies, a small lump of rice and a portion of animal protein. Back then, I imagine they would hunt or gather for the next day's food and eat to until they were full or at least, eat until it was gone.
Also BEFORE big grocery stores and modern day markets that carry all kinds of foods grown in all seasons available to us around the world, all year long, we had seasonal eating. The earth supplied the appropriate food at the appropriate time of year. When the season changed, the food changed creating a natural revolution of foods that would give us ample amounts of certain nutrients for that season and a change right when we though the couldn't eat any more chard, lets say.
For example, an abundance of fruit that grows in the summer gives us light, cool, high carbohydrate, easy to digest access to to highly absorbable energy from natural sugars for the long hot summer days.
Winter provides us nuts, seeds, beans and grains, root vegetables and sweet vegetables, along with fatty animals for soups and stews to keep us warm and plump us up to insulate us from the cold.
Sprouts and abundant greens in the spring help cleanse our systems with fat emulsifying properties after all that sludgy, heavy food, and the cycle would continue again, every year.
Nature provides basically a three season rotation diet, according to my Ayurvedic teacher Dr. John Douillard, to encourage the entire rainbow of different nutrients to make their way into our bodies. This reduces boredom and encourages anticipation and appreciation.
So... if we had NATURAL conditions and HEALTHY, CLEAN UNADULTERATED, UNPROCESSED, FREE RANGE, WILD CAIGHT, NON GMO, NO PESTICIDES, HERBICIDES, FUNGICIDE FOODS; COMPLETE NATURAL FERTILIZERS and if our food had ALL THE NUTRIENTS IN TACT AS OUR ANCESTORS HAD... then maybe our intuitive eating would make sense.

On 3 July, just two days before the official anniversary of the launch of the NHS 70 years ago, nursing, midwifery and care staff will come together to celebrate at one of four events across the country. The events will showcase innovations and leadership in nursing and midwifery across the decades and look to the next 70 years.
The events are being led in partnership with a wide range of Arm’s Length Body organisations, stakeholders and partners, including but not limited to NHS Improvement, Health Education England, Public Health England, Royal College of Nursing, Royal College of Midwives, Nursing and Midwifery Council and the Council of Deans of Health.
Each event will launch with a live streamed opening speech from Professor Jane Cummings, Chief Nursing Officer for England. This will immediately be followed by an opportunity for us all to link together, ask questions and reflect on our amazing achievements. Following the key note speech, Teresa Chinn MBE will join the live stream to showcase many innovative blogs written by nurses and midwives as part of our national #70nursebloggers and #70midwifebloggers initiative, launched by Professor Jane Cummings on Tuesday 24 April.
Delegate attendance at the actual events is limited but Professor Cummings’ speech and Teresa’s blogging session can be viewed on any internet connected device on NHS England’s website.
The four regional events will take place at the following locations
The Royal Horticultural Halls
Chair: Oliver Shanley, Regional Chief Nurse, NHS England and NHS Improvement (London region)
Reading Old Town Hall
Chair: Sue Doheny, Regional Chief Nurse, NHS England and NHS Improvement (South region)

THE approval of a 40MW solar plant at Gold Fields’ South African mine, South Deep, would be celebrated by business as it sought to have the liberalisation of the country’s energy sector accelerated, said BusinessLive in a report on Thursday.
Gold Fields announced that the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) had given its thumbs up for the self-generation plant – the biggest renewable energy installation in the country to date. The application had been in the works since 2017, although Nersa argued that Gold Fields had not met application criteria until mid-2020.
The plant has the potential to provide about 20% of South Deep’s electricity consumption. “The solar power plant will increase the reliability and affordability of power supply to South Deep, ultimately enhancing the long-term sustainability of the mine,” BusinessLive quoted Gold Fields CEO, Nick Holland, as having said.
While the process has been slow, the outcome will be celebrated by the business and mining community, which sees self-generation as the best way to mitigate South Africa’s power constraints and the fastest way to bring additional megawatts onto the grid, the publication said.
“Business has been lobbying intensely for at least the past year to have the licensing threshold for self-generation lifted. Over the past two years, Nersa has approved only five projects of 28MW,” it said.
Nersa currently needs to license all self-generation over 1MW, but South African president, Cyril Ramaphosa, said in his State of the Nation Address this month that that threshold would be lifted. In order to sanction this, minerals and energy minister, Gwede Mantashe, would have to see through amendments to Electricity Regulation Act.
This would be done within three months, according to the National Treasury.

Let me introduce a story as far-fetched as they come: A person who has never attempted to create a piece of artwork before teaches himself to draw with every limb on his body and then some. In fact, 19-year old Mohammed Asif from Palakkad draws with both his arms, feet, mouth, nose, eyes and even his hair! Don’t scroll past and look incredulously at your screens, he has an Instagram page to prove it.
It all began at the beginning of the year when his best friend began pestering him to sketch a picture of her boyfriend. Completely indifferent to the art, he would shrug it off each time. The second year student of BA History at Attappady’s RGM College’ reconsidered the decision when the pandemic hit. He says, “On April 6, I realised that I would have be forced to stay at home for longer than I would like, I thought I’d try a hand at it.”
But he ended up trying definitely more than a single hand with pencil sketching. “I wanted to try something different,” he continues. “I’d seen videos of people drawing with both their hands, so I practised and taught myself how to do it. But I kept thinking that this was what everyone does. So I started using my tongue in the place of a paintbrush. I took it one step ahead with my nose and eyelashes. And when I was still unsatisfied, I threw in both hands and even dipped my hair into a bottle of paint!”
Instagram followers were amazed to watch Asif lying down on his back with four pieces of paper positioned against the wall where he simultaneously drew portraits of renowned celebrities with both his hands and feet. Most recently, he fused all six of his body parts to create 6 different portraits of actor Tovino Thomas.
Currently, Asif does a range of commissioned work with a simple charge of 700 for a single photo and 1500 for a couple. So far, he has created more than 50 different pieces of art. Most of his work so far have been pencil sketches of faces, which he taught himself in a matter of months without any professional training. He says, “The only reason I was able to do this was the undying support of my friends. I have the strength to challenge myself and create painting after painting because they believe in my abilities even more than I do.”

Latin women are a powerful group of individuals that are shaping the world around them. From the boardroom to the classroom, their influence is causing major waves.
However, despite their power, Latinas are not without challenges. From being a racial and ethnic minority, to a low socioeconomic status group, these women face multiple barriers that can make their lives difficult.
1. They’re viewed as sexually expressive
Latin women are often viewed as sexually expressive. This is due to their heritage and the way they are viewed by society as well as by their own culture.
Latinas are viewed as sexually expressive because they are seen as attractive and exotic. This is due to the fact that they are viewed as different from other people in society, which is something that white men value.
2. They’re viewed as submissive
One of the most damaging racial stereotypes is the depiction of Latin women as exotic, sultry sex symbols or ultra-religious, submissive housemaids. Neither of these caricatures are actually accurate or intelligent, and they are dehumanizing to the Latin community.
The media has played a major role in this, portraying sexy women as hypersexual and promiscuous while depicting passive domestics as underwhelming cooks or lazily slackers. This sexy-ness is not only detrimental to Latin women’s mental health but it also has harmful consequences for their careers and futures.
3. They’re viewed as beautiful
Latin women are viewed as beautiful by men all over the world. Their enticing appearances catch men’s eyes right from the first second and their sweet smiles and warm personalities make them charming and attractive.
However, the media has a big influence on how people see their culture and body types. It’s difficult for Latinas to escape the stereotypes that the media portrays.
4. They’re viewed as smart
There are a plethora of myths and superstitions about the Latino demographic. Some of them are more fun than others. From a survey of over 1,200 Latinos by the Pew Research Center, here are some of the most common falsehoods about our friends in red.
One of the most enduring misconceptions is that latinos are lazy and lack education. In fact, they are arguably the smartest demographic in America. Despite the tumultuous economic climate, many Latinas are proudly and successfully navigating the American workplace.
5. They’re viewed as strong
In the Hispanic community, machismo is a deeply-rooted belief that men should be superior to women for the benefit of their family and society.
In many Latin American countries, machismo has been so normalized that violence against women is an everyday occurrence. This is a huge problem that has contributed to the lack of progress in gender equality throughout the region.
6. They’re viewed as intelligent
The best way to describe the latin woman is as smart, accomplished and savvy. They have a keen awareness of their financial and social standing in the US and abroad and they use it to advantage by making sure their family is a happy and healthy one.
It also entails a lot of sacrifice, both for the family and the individual. The big question is how much of that sacrifice will be worth the resulting dividends in years to come.
7. They’re viewed as independent
Latinas are seen as independent, even when they don’t have the skills to earn a high salary. They also earn less than non-Latina white women, and they are often not able to save money for their futures.
However, it’s important to note that contrasting characterizations of Latinas are often pushed through the media. This is done through heavy-handed, stereotypical and inaccurate portrayals.
8. They’re viewed as beautiful
Latin women have gorgeous features, including curvy bodies and enchanting smiles. They’re also hot-tempered, exotic and self-confident.
A lot of popular images of Latinas in American media are hypersexualized and stereotyped, reinforcing harmful characterizations of the community that can be detrimental to its health and well-being.
These contrasting portrayals can lead to body dissatisfaction and eating disorders for women of color, just like the thin ideal has been shown to be detrimental for young, white, able-bodied people.

Formed Through Natural Human Physiological Processes
Free radicals may be formed through natural human physiological processes as well as from the environment. They may be the result of diet, stress, smoking, alcohol, exercise, inflammation, drugs or exposure to sunlight and air pollutants. While there are many types of free radicals that can be formed, the most common in aerobic (oxygen breathing) organisms are oxygen free radicals, often referred to as Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which include superoxides, hydroxyl anions, hydrogen peroxide, and singlet oxygen.
A free radical is an atom or group of atoms that has an unpaired electron and is therefore unstable and highly reactive. An atom’s chemical behavior is determined by the number of electrons in its outermost shell. When the outermost shell is full, the atom is stable and tends not to engage in chemical reactions. When, however, the outermost shell is not full, the atom is unstable. It will try and stabilize itself by either gaining or losing an electron to either fill or empty its outermost shell or it will share its electrons by bonding with another atom that is also looking to complete its outer shell. It is not uncommon for an atom to complete its outer shell by sharing an electron with another atom and forming a bond.
Free Radicals and Antioxidants
Free radicals form when one of these weak bonds between electrons is broken and an uneven number of electrons remain. This means the electron is unpaired, making it chemically reactive. It will now try and steal an electron from a neighbouring molecule to stabilize itself.
Once a free radical form and it succeeds in gaining another electron from a nearby molecule, it leaves its victim short an electron and has now made this new molecule a free radical, which will, in turn, try and steal an electron as well. The result is what we call a free radical cascade, an enormous chain reaction of free radicals that quickly wreaks havoc on living tissue. It is estimated that the chain reaction can trigger 6.023 x 10 21 billion molecules to react per second!
- Damage DNA, RNA, cell membranes, proteins
- Cause cell death and aging
- Linked to every neurological disease:
- Neurological disorders
- Inflammatory disorders

- Activation of Transcription Factors
Free Radical FAQ’s
It is hard to watch television without seeing at least one commercial that promises to fight aging with antioxidants. Antioxidants are molecules that prevent the oxidation of other molecules. Antioxidants are chemicals that lessen or prevent the effects of free radicals. They donate an electron to free radicals, thereby reducing their reactivity. What makes antioxidants unique is that they can donate an electron without becoming reactive free radicals themselves.
No single antioxidant can combat the effects of every free radical. Just as free radicals have different effects in different areas of the body, each antioxidant behaves differently due to its chemical properties. In certain contexts, however, some antioxidants may become pro-oxidants, which grab electrons from other molecules, creating chemical instability that can cause oxidative stress.
1) Molecular hydrogen size
H2 is the smallest antioxidant in existence. Other antioxidants such as Vitamin C or Vitamin E are very large molecules compared to H2 and need to go through our digestive tract, absorbed in our intestines, travel through our blood, and enter into our cells before they can eliminate free radicals.
H2 is so small that it can penetrate through the stomach lining to begin acting inside cells immediately. H2 is also in a gaseous state, so it basically floats through cells (rapid diffusion) and performs its function as an antioxidant undeterred by the normal mechanisms that prevent other antioxidants from moving freely through the body. H2 can also cross the Blood-Brain-Barrier easily due to its small size whereas other antioxidants have a difficult time getting through or can’t get through at all. The brain is highly susceptible to oxidative stress because it consumes 20% of the oxygen we breathe despite being only 2% of our body’s weight. So it is very important to protect the brain with antioxidants since it is especially vulnerable.
2) Molecular hydrogen selectivity
H2 is selective and targets only hydroxyl radicals. This is a key benefit because H2 only eliminates the harmful free radicals but does not directly affect useful free radicals such as hydrogen peroxide or nitric oxide. As previously mentioned, hydrogen peroxide is used by the immune cells to kill bacteria, and nitric oxide is a signaling molecule that helps open and close blood vessels that divert blood to different areas of the body. Other antioxidants are not selective but rather neutralize any free radical in their vicinity. Non-selective free radical elimination may disrupt the balance of free radicals to antioxidants inside the cells leading to a negative effect on the body
Another antioxidant enzyme is Glutathione Peroxidase (GPX). Two GPXs convert one Hydrogen Peroxide into two molecules of water. During this reaction the two GPXs bond together to form Glutathione Disulfide (GDS). GDS needs be recycled by another enzyme to convert back into 2 GPXs ready to take on more Hydrogen Peroxide molecules. This means that GPX is not always readily available and there’s a limit to its function as an antioxidant.
This two-step process of eliminating free radicals inside the cells is crucial for the health of cells. If there’s not enough Superoxide Dismutase and Glutathione Peroxidase available, Superoxide Anion and Hydrogen Peroxide can build-up in our cells. These free radicals themselves may not be that bad, but they react with each other to form a deadly free radical, the Hydroxyl Radical. Depending on diet, lifestyle, and environment, cells can end up creating more free radicals than antioxidant enzymes can handle. As we age antioxidant enzymes dwindle naturally. When excess free radicals form inside our cells, it may result in serious consequences for health.
Free radicals are constantly produced in mitochondria.
Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP (currency of energy in cells), but they also produce free radicals as a toxic by-product. Oxygen is critical in driving energy production. Unfortunately, 2-5% of the oxygen utilized in energy production converts into Free Radicals called Superoxide Anions.
Antioxidants protect our cells from free radical damage
Within our cells there are antioxidant enzymes such as Superoxide Dismutase that neutralizes a Superoxide Anion and converts it into Hydrogen Peroxide. Hydrogen Peroxide is a weak free radical that is useful in cells. The immune system uses Hydrogen Peroxide to kill bacteria and to signal to the rest of the immune system if there is an injury to tissue. Typically when acute H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) is generated, this signals to our white blood cells to move to the damaged area.
Oxidative stress occurs when an oxygen molecule splits into single atoms with unpaired electrons, which are called free radicals. Electrons like to be in pairs, so these atoms, called free radicals, scavenge the body to seek out other electrons so they can become a
pair. This causes damage to cells, proteins and DNA.
These substances include fried foods, alcohol, tobacco smoke, pesticides, air pollutants, and many more. Free radicals can cause damage to parts of cells such as proteins, DNA, and cell membranes by stealing their electrons through a process called oxidation.
Understanding free radicals requires a basic knowledge of chemistry.
Atoms are surrounded by electrons that orbit the atom in layers called shells. Each shell needs to be filled by a set number of electrons. When a shell is full; electrons begin filling the next shell.
If an atom has an outer shell that is not full, it may bond with another atom, using the electrons to complete its outer shell. These types of atoms are known as free radicals. Atoms with a full outer shell are stable, but free radicals are unstable and in an effort to make up the number of electrons in their outer shell, they react quickly with other substances.
When oxygen molecules split into single atoms that have unpaired electrons, they become unstable free radicals that seek other atoms or molecules to bond to. If this continues to happen, it begins a process called oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can damage the body’s cells, leading to a range of diseases and causes symptoms of aging, such as wrinkles.
To put it in simple terms, a free radical is an incomplete molecule that is off-balance. In order to regain its balance it needs to “steal” an electron from another nearby molecule. It does so through a process called oxidation. The damaged molecule becomes a new unstable free radical in need of an electron. This chain reaction, or free radical cascade, is spreading more and more rapidly. It generates disorder within the molecules of our body.
Sometimes this phenomenon can gain momentum and get out of control. As we age, and if we do not get enough antioxidants,
this is more likely to occur.
