Another pudding inspired overnight oats. This week its oats with a date syrup and pecans inspired by sticky toffee pudding. Can't believe i've got to no 14 already, I have the next 10 planned as well.
The morning before soak the dates to make date syrup, see recipe. If your dates are very hard, chop up small to aid the process. You need at least 24 hours if not longer.
The night before soak the oats, everything else can be added the following morning.
During the day before just keep stirring the dates to help them break down.
For the date syrup I use just 4 dates and about the same about of water to cover. As the dates I use are quite hard, I like to chop them up or give them a couple of days to break down. I buy large bags of dates from poundland, nice and cheap for recipes, but a little on the hard side.
1/2 cup oats
2/3 cup non dairy milk
1 tbsp ground flax seed
Mix the oats, milk and flax in a bowl.
Pecans - use the quantity you are happy with. I just use a few chopped up pieces thought-out and a couple of whole pecans to decorate on the top.
Add some syrup and pecan pieces to the bottom of your serving dish. Top with half the oats and then more syrup and pecans. Then the rest of the oats and top with a couple of pecans to decorate the top and pour the rest of the syrup over. Serve and enjoy!
Makes one portion
I post one or two new overnight oats post every week, sometimes quite traditional and sometimes a pudding style one. Usually on a Thursday or Friday mornings, so please follow my blog if you want to get new overnight oats breakfast ideas. My other overnight oats recipes. We are also on facebook if you wish to follow and get involved in different discussions. We have a great giveaway coming up in October for UK facebook fans.

The Manuel Calvo Foundation launched in Bizkaia, back in 2017, a project that has been built and developed as a vital experience for all the people involved in the initiative. The differentiating factor of this group is that all participants, both mentors and mentors, are people who volunteer. The objective is to move towards more responsible and committed volunteering, thanks to the collaboration and training of experienced and highly motivated volunteers who offer their time, knowledge and experience in favor of other younger volunteers.
The last group of the ‘Mentoring Volunteering’ project was made up of eighteen people. The process begins with training for mentors in which the role of the mentor is defined, the socio-emotional competencies that are linked to that role are developed or reinforced, and skills that are subsequently developed with the mentors are practiced. In this sense, self-confidence, emotional regulation, empathic communication, interdependence and security are worked on.
From the first session the creation of a cohesive team that facilitates the achievement of the project goals is prioritized. The dynamics are experiential so that the mentor can experience how a mentor who feels uncertainty feels, and what is the power of words in unknown situations. In parallel, we work with people who are going to be mentors, cultivating the motivation necessary for such a relationship. After this training separately, the participants join together to continue their progress in socio-emotional skills that allow the creation of a united, flexible and open working group.
From the perspective of the mentors, being part of this group implies a social recognition of their work as volunteers, and a personal gratification as transmitters of values, skills and vital skills. For mentors, this project is a unique opportunity to get in touch with volunteering, and to gain an experience of great impact for the rest of their lives.

Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu has now appealed to the new incoming Bomet Governor Hillary Barchok to pick a female deputy.
Ngilu who was speaking during the memorial service of the late Bomet Governor Joyce Laboso, urged Barchok to pick a female deputy governor who will help continue her legacy.
Laboso, Ngilu and Anne Waiguru are the pioneer female governors in Kenya.
Waiguru and Ngilu have mourned Laboso as powerful calm leader who was always full of wisdom.
Waiguru fondly mentioned Laboso as the lady who gave them advises and consoled them whenever they were trolled in the social media platforms.
“She would calm us down and tell us to rise above the social media trolls and focus on the bigger picture of serving the people,” said Waiguru.

In traditional KPFM, a feedback loop regulates the DC bias applied between a sharp conductive probe and a sample to nullify the electrostatic force (closed-loop operation). In comparison, open-loop techniques such as dual harmonic KPFM (DH-KPFM) are simpler to implement, are less sensitive to artefacts, offer the unique ability to probe voltage sensitive materials, and operate in liquid environments. Here, we directly compare the two techniques in terms of their bandwidth and sensitivity to instrumentation artefacts. Furthermore, we introduce a new correction for traditional KPFM termed “setpoint correction,” which allows us to obtain agreement between open and closed-loop techniques within 1%. Quantitative validation of DH-KPFM may lead to a wider adoption of open-loop KPFM techniques by the scanning probe community.||Funding Details:||Science Foundation Ireland

text: Griselimycins (GMs) are depsidecapeptides with superb anti-tuberculosis activity. They contain up to three (2S,4R)-4-methyl-prolines (4-MePro), of which one blocks oxidative degradation and increases metabolic stability in animal models. The natural congener with this substitution is only a minor component in fermentation cultures. We showed that this product can be significantly increased by feeding the reaction with 4-MePro and we investigated the molecular basis of 4-MePro biosynthesis and incorporation. We identified the GM biosynthetic gene cluster as encoding a nonribosomal peptide synthetase and a sub-operon for 4-MePro formation. Using heterologous expression, gene inactivation, and in vitro experiments, we showed that 4-MePro is generated by leucine hydroxylation, oxidation to an aldehyde, and ring closure with subsequent reduction. The crystal structures of the leucine hydroxylase GriE have been determined in complex with substrates and products, providing insight into the stereospecificity of the reaction.

Pursuing a Vision of a Library for the Future: The Jacksonville Public Library Capacity Plan
Jacksonville Public LibraryGo to Website
Innovation SummaryWhen institutional barriers and budget cuts imperiled JPL, its board of trustees commissioned a study of the capacity of the library to provide quality service into the future. From the study’s final report, the board submitted to the mayor five critical recommendations – strategic goals that continue to guide their actions.
In November 2005, the Jacksonville Public Library opened its new Main Library, climaxing a period of construction that also included six new branch libraries and more than doubled the library’s footprint. Since that time, the library’s general fund expendable accounts have been cut every year and uncertainty continues. Library staffing has been cut by one fourth, and investment in the materials collection has been cut by a third.
In addition, as a department of a city with centralized public works and IT, the library administration has no ability to manage these operations. As a result, the splendid new and renovated facilities have had little maintenance, and by 2011 the system as a whole had accumulated $8.3 million in needed repairs.
Furthermore, being subject to the decisions and timelines of the city’s IT department has hampered the library’s ability to make changes necessary to remain responsive to customer needs. Examples include an inability (so far) to institute online bill payment, to revamp the library website, or to offer a mobile website app. And it has meant slow bandwidth and outdated computers and software for customers and staff – handicapping JPL’s ability to serve a community whose information needs are increasingly technological in nature. In addition, this arrangement has meant failure to qualify for e-rate discounts since 2007.
If JPL were to continue down this path, library leaders knew that we would be destined to become increasingly irrelevant to the community, with weaker and weaker collections, outdated technology, and dilapidated facilities.
On July 19, 2010, the Board of Library Trustees commissioned Godfrey’s Associates, Inc. to analyze the capacity of the Jacksonville Public Library to provide quality library service to the citizens of Jacksonville into the future. The study included interviews with key community stakeholders, community meetings and a community survey, as well as physical assessments and functional ratings of all 21 library facilities, market segmentation analysis, information technology analysis and comparisons with peer libraries. Based on the final capacity plan report completed on May 16, 2011, the board submitted to the mayor and City Council recommendations in five areas they deemed critical to the library’s future:
1. Information Delivery (to include information technology and collections)
2. Facilities Maintenance
3. Locations (with recommendations to remedy inequities that have left the urban core of the city with inferior service and one high growth region with no library at all)
4. Revenues and Funding
5. Staffing (with a recommendation to expand the number of appointed professional positions in order to increase staffing flexibility).
Soon after delivering their recommendations, board members and the library director began meeting with every council member and the mayor’s staff to present the proposals in person. Far from setting the capacity plan on a shelf, the board’s aim is to pursue their goals relentlessly with concrete action plans. A board committee reviews progress toward meeting the goals every month. Board decisions are influenced by whether they support the recommendations.
With their leadership, from this thousand-plus page capacity plan report, a 10-page statement of five bold recommendations became a different kind of strategic plan – one aimed at changing the political status quo to enable the Jacksonville Public Library to be vibrant, responsive, relevant, and significant to the citizens of this city far into the future.
Following are updates on three of the five goals established by the board:
DELIVERY OF INFORMATION. The primary recommendation was to move library IT in-house in order to untether innovative ideas and to increase efficiency (JPL’s IT costs are significantly higher than any of its peer libraries and its bandwidth lower). The first step is under way. The library is currently in the process of hiring a vendor to conduct a Request for Information (RFI) to determine the optimum management arrangement for the library’s IT.
LOCATIONS. The board recommended establishing two new libraries: one in the urban core – replacing four small, dilapidated branches with one much larger modern facility – and a new one in the rapidly growing northeast, where no library currently exists. A foundation of community support is crucial to achieving these goals. In February 2011, the board attended a work day focused on strengthening advocacy efforts, and a board committee has compiled a list of key community stakeholders and developed a plan for building strong community support.
REVENUES AND FUNDING. The board recommended establishing an independent taxing district or dedicated millage for the library. This recommendation was the catalyst for a 12-week community study in the spring of 2012 to ask whether the library should be funded separately from the city’s general fund. The study team includes a number of influential stakeholders and has already generated five favorable editorials in Jacksonville’s newspaper, the Florida Times-Union.
The trustees recognize that some of their recommendations are politically daunting, especially in the current economy. Some could take years to achieve, but these examples illustrate that progress is being made, and, with the foundational research of the extensive capacity plan study and the focus of their five critical recommendations, the board has a strategic pathway to follow to success.

A beautiful and incredibly aesthetically pleasing short featuring the seemingly endless talent of Domhnall Gleeson. From the music to the hinted-at story line this ad showcases Burberry in a way we have not seen before. With beautiful scenes (the gold glitter and Sienna Miller's dramatic lake-side stride being personal favourites) and an intriguing love triangle this ad is ridiculously watchable and advertises the brand in a surprisingly subtle way, getting the audience invested in the founder as opposed to shoving a sweater in their face and yelling 'THIS IS BURBERRY, BUY THIS'.
I absolutely loved this advert, the cast is outstanding and the colour palette is cool and stylish. I actually wrote an analysis of this short and it landed me a work placement with an advertising company so big thanks to Burberry.

Artwork can make or break the overall look of a room, so it's important to choose the right piece!

Adding a wall art decor to your house, office, or your buildings’ interior can create an impact. Art helps in creating a mood that you want for your interior and can help express what you want others to feel as well. It is important to know first what type of wall art is suitable for your interior’s setting. Thank you for sharing this helpful information!
I absolutely love the design of this room. It’s a very beautiful white and brown color with that amazing backsplash behind the bed. There are all sorts of different tiles that we see on this wall. They have no pattern, don’t match, but it still adds a lot of character to the room. The bedroom is beautifully lit with the three lamps and natural lighting bouncing off of the walls.
The predominance of several shades of blue in the ambiance reminds us of the sea, which combined with other neutral colors and the presence of the plant, mark the natural aspect, giving off the feeling of harmony and tranquility. Wooden furniture also highlight this aspect. The comfort is present in the image. The large bed with several pillows, beyond being part of the decoration that seems to simulate waves, put comfort as it’s priority.
When I look at this room, all I can think of is romance. There’s just something about the design of this room that has me melting. I love the colors that are used and the lighted mural right behind the bed. There are some other wall pieces on the other side of the room, but none of them catch my eye like the lighted one does. The rest of the room is simply designed, except for the way those posts come down from the wall. I love that!
With an exquisite large canvas print made from high-quality materials, your wall can come to life. So if you have a picture that pretty much looks larger than life, there’s only one place you need to go. We are specialists of large format canvas printing, and with our expertise, we can give you the perfect print which is necessary for photos that require an extra bit of space!

Once you have an idea of a general spot, frame out the area with painter’s tape to visualize the spot. Stand back a few feet and see if you like where it sits on the wall. Get artsy with this; maybe you want to hang your wall art slightly off center because there’s a plant in the corner or a chair that will block some of it. Create a vignette, or setting, like the image above, where the art is part of the grouping and slightly off center.

A butterfly cartoon drawing is a versatile piece of artwork that can be used for may different functions. It can be used to spice up documents and pictures or it can be used as pleasing symbolism to signify a success or milestone. This guide will empower you to create a beautiful butterfly cartoon of your own.
Besides the symbolism presented by a butterfly, what makes this particular cartoon fun to draw is due to two main reasons: symmetry and abstractionism. Both of these are what allows the animal to be drawn in a quickly and efficient manner.
In digital art drawing software like Photoshop, symmetry is easily duplicated with a few clicks of a button. Basically, only one half of the butterfly is drawn, duplicated, and then flipped over to form the other half to create a balanced composition.
For audiences and artists alike, the abstract lines found on the veins on the oversized wings are not like anything found in nature. There is a certain degree of romanticism and imagination that stems from the many different colors that can appear.
Specifically, it's the same amount of veins being carried out through the upper and lower wings spreading out through a a central oval vein. The only careful thing to note is that there is proper overlap between the upper and lower wings.
Proportion wise, the upper wing is a simple triangle that is about 20 percent larger than the lower wing. As for the body, three circular shapes are good enough to define the head, thorax, and abdomen. Other than that, finish off the quick sketch with just one antenna.
As mentioned before, there is no need to rush and draw both halves of the butterfly. It is much better to take some time and work on getting the right feel of the butterfly cartoon drawing. The symmetry will come much later once a good line drawing is completed.
Continuing on with the drawing, getting the right line drawing will require combining a few new processes and tools. First, continue with darkening and refining the sketch. Fill out any holes, thicken some veins while thinning other veins, and round off any corners.
Most of this can be done with swapping back between the airbrush and the eraser tool. There is no need to worry about pressure sensitivity of the digital stylus. In fact, it's best to have it set to its maximum to make the lines perfectly black. This can also be applied to the eraser to delete pixels cleanly.
The pen tool is an alternative to getting very defined straight lines. Though a bit cumbersome to use, it can create a good vector path that can be filled in. This is an optional tool for advanced users but not something that should be ruled out.
Once the line drawing is finished, use the square lasso to select a portion of the body. Delete these pixels to create a perfectly cut half of the butterfly. Finally, duplicate this layer, then go to Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal to create the other half. Merge both layers to finish the line drawing.
A layer containing only the base color is needed for editing purposes that doesn't interfere with the butterfly outline. There are several ways to do this step. The manual method involves creating a layer and then painting in a flat color underneath areas that the line drawing shows through.
The second method is a bit more complicated but can be much faster to fill up on top of being very accurate. For this method, the line drawing will be used again. First, duplicate the line drawing as a new layer. Position it below the original line drawing.
Then, use the magic wand tool to select the empty holes. After that, go to Edit > Fill. Select any color combination and fill in the holes. It doesn't matter what color is used as the whole purpose is to fill in the gaps to make a solid object.
Finally, lock the entire layer down and do the fill option one more time. This time, do the same thing:, go to Edit > Fill, but this time, select a flat color that works with the butterfly specie that is being drawn. For example, a monarch butterfly will work best with an orange flat color.
Considering what has been done in the previous step, the flat color may be all that is needed for the butterfly cartoon drawing. However, Photoshop has the very excellent layer styles option to quickly color the drawing even further.
Double clicking the layer will bring up layer styles. The first option is the 'color overlay'. With just a click of a mouse, it will cover the entire flat color layer with another color of choice. What's more, there are blend modes that can further emphasize the color.
The second, and often better option, is the 'gradient overlay' layer style. Just as it says, it will overlay everything with a nice gradient. In this example, orange and yellow were selected. There is also an option to select a gradient direction that works with the composition.
After a quick series of trial and error, the radial gradient option, set at 100% spread, fits the best coverage for this butterfly cartoon drawing. Just remember that it can change depending on the central origin of the solid object found in the flat color layer.
Even though layer styles are a good option to try, there may be a need to redraw some sections through a third layer. For example, the white spots found on the wing may require another layer. This layer fits in between the solid flat color layer and the line drawing.
When everything is said and done, though, all these steps will allow anyone to further edit the butterfly cartoon drawing at any time. All that is left is to put all those layers in a folder and duplicate the folder to create an additional butterfly on screen to be edited.

Heading 1: Understanding the Diversity of Portuguese Dialects
Portuguese, as a language, has a rich diversity of dialects spread across different regions of the world. From Brazil to Portugal and various countries in Africa, each region has its unique way of speaking Portuguese. This diversity stems from a combination of factors such as geographical influences, historical events, and cultural interactions. Understanding the diversity of Portuguese dialects is crucial for translators and language professionals who work with the language, as it allows for a deeper insight into the intricacies and nuances of each dialect.
Geography plays a significant role in shaping Portuguese dialects. In Portugal alone, various regions have their distinct ways of speaking, influenced by factors such as proximity to the coast, mountainous landscapes, or even the historical presence of other languages. Similarly, Brazilian Portuguese is marked by regional differences due to the vastness of the country and its diverse landscapes. Additionally, Portuguese dialects spoken in African countries like Angola, Mozambique, and Cape Verde have been shaped by the native African languages, resulting in unique linguistic variations.
Heading 2: The Influence of Geography on Portuguese Dialects
Portuguese dialects have been greatly influenced by the diverse geography of Portugal and its former colonies. The geographical features and regional variations in weather, landscape, and settlement patterns have played a significant role in shaping the unique dialects found throughout the Portuguese-speaking world.
In continental Portugal, for example, the country’s rugged terrain and varying climatic conditions have contributed to the development of distinct regional dialects. In the north, where the landscape is mountainous and the climate is colder, dialects tend to feature more guttural sounds and have lexical differences compared to the southern regions, which are characterized by flatter terrain and a milder climate. Likewise, the dialects spoken in coastal regions differ from those spoken in inland areas, as the proximity to the sea has influenced vocabulary related to fishing and maritime activities.
Heading 3: Historical Factors Shaping Portuguese Dialects
Throughout history, the Portuguese language has undergone various influences and transformations, leading to the development of different dialects across different regions. One of the most significant historical factors shaping these dialects is the influence of colonization. Portugal had a vast colonial empire, which stretched from Brazil in South America to Macau in East Asia. As a result, the Portuguese language spread to these territories, assimilating local vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammatical structures. This interaction between Portuguese and local languages resulted in the emergence of distinct Portuguese dialects with unique characteristics.
Another historical factor that played a significant role in shaping Portuguese dialects is the migration of Portuguese communities. Over the centuries, economic, political, and social factors have led to Portuguese people settling in different parts of the world, such as Africa, Europe, and the Americas. As these communities established themselves in new surroundings, they adapted their language to the local context, resulting in the formation of distinct Portuguese dialects. This migration-induced linguistic diversity is particularly evident in countries like Brazil and Angola, where Portuguese has evolved into unique variations, heavily influenced by the local culture and languages.
Heading 4: Recognizing the Main Portuguese Dialects
Portuguese, as a language, encompasses various dialects that differ based on regional factors such as geography and historical influences. While there is no definitive list of Portuguese dialects, there are several main dialect groups that are widely recognized and studied.
One of the most prevalent dialect groups is the Northern dialects, which include variants spoken in regions such as Porto and Braga. These dialects are characterized by distinctive features such as the absence of the final -m in words and the pronunciation of certain vowel sounds. In contrast, the Central dialects, spoken in areas like Lisbon and Coimbra, exhibit different pronunciation patterns and vocabulary choices.
Moving southwards, we encounter the dialects spoken in Alentejo and Algarve, known as Southern dialects. These dialects feature unique phonetic variations and vocabulary, influenced by the region’s historical contact with Arabic and other Mediterranean languages. Additionally, the dialects spoken in Madeira and the Azores, known as Insular dialects, have their own specific characteristics and are influenced by the isolation of the islands.
Recognizing and understanding the main Portuguese dialects is crucial for effective communication and translation. Though there are similarities between the dialect groups, each possesses distinct features that reflect the rich linguistic diversity within the Portuguese-speaking world. By familiarizing oneself with these dialects, translators can ensure accurate and culturally sensitive translations that resonate with the target audience.
Heading 5: Challenges in Translating Portuguese Dialects
One significant challenge in translating Portuguese dialects lies in the great diversity found within the language itself. From the European variant spoken in Portugal to the numerous dialects spoken in Brazil and other former colonies, each region has its own unique vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. This diversity can make it difficult for translators to accurately capture the nuances and local flavor of a specific dialect, especially if they are not native speakers or familiar with the intricacies of regional variations.
Another challenge for translators is the constant evolution and adaptation of Portuguese dialects over time. Slang, idiomatic expressions, and new words frequently enter the lexicon, particularly in urban areas and among younger speakers. Staying up to date with these linguistic changes requires a deep immersion in the specific culture and context of the dialect being translated, as well as ongoing research and engagement with native speakers. Failure to stay current with these linguistic developments can result in outdated or inaccurate translations that do not resonate with the target audience or accurately convey the original meaning. Translators must therefore be vigilant in keeping pace with the ever-changing nature of Portuguese dialects.
Heading 6: Strategies for Accurate Translation of Portuguese Dialects
One of the key strategies for translating Portuguese dialects accurately is to conduct thorough research on the specific dialect being translated. This includes understanding the linguistic features, vocabulary usage, and regional variations. By immersing oneself in the dialect, whether through reading literature or listening to native speakers, translators can develop a better understanding of its unique characteristics. This research is essential for capturing the nuances and nuances of the dialect in the translated text.
In addition to research, it is crucial for translators to have a strong grasp of both the source and target languages. This means being proficient in both Portuguese and the target language of the translation. Having a deep understanding of the grammatical structures and cultural context of both languages allows translators to make informed decisions about how to accurately convey the meaning and tone of the original text. It is also important to consult other resources such as dictionaries, glossaries, and language forums, to ensure the accuracy of translations and to address any questions or uncertainties that may arise during the translation process.
Heading 7: Common Mistakes to Avoid in Translating Portuguese Dialects
One common mistake to avoid when translating Portuguese dialects is relying too heavily on word-for-word translations. While this approach may seem straightforward, it often fails to capture the nuances and unique phrases found within different dialects. It is important to remember that languages are not simply interchangeable, and a literal translation may not convey the intended meaning or cultural context.
Another mistake to avoid is overlooking the importance of regional variations. Portuguese dialects can vary greatly depending on the geographical location, with distinct vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar patterns. Translators need to familiarize themselves with the specific dialect they are working on and consider how these regional differences may impact the translation. This could involve consulting resources such as linguistic studies, native speakers, or even travelling to the region to gain a deeper understanding of the dialect in question. By recognizing and embracing these regional variations, translators can ensure more accurate and culturally sensitive translations of Portuguese dialects.
Heading 8: The Role of Context in Portuguese Dialect Translation
Context plays a crucial role in the translation of Portuguese dialects. Each dialect carries its unique vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and cultural nuances. Without considering the context in which a dialect is spoken, the translation may lose its accuracy and fail to convey the intended meaning.
One important aspect of considering context is understanding the cultural background of the dialect. Different regions in Portugal or other Portuguese-speaking countries may have distinct cultural practices, customs, and historical references that are embedded in their dialects. Translators need to take these cultural elements into account to ensure that the translation is not only linguistically accurate but also culturally sensitive. This requires thorough research and engagement with native speakers or experts who are familiar with the specific dialect and its cultural intricacies. By doing so, the translator can effectively capture the essence of the dialect and convey it in the target language.
When it comes to navigating the complexity of Portuguese dialects in translation, having the right resources can make all the difference. One valuable resource for translators is language dictionaries that specifically cater to the different dialects of Portuguese. These dictionaries provide not only translations of words, but also explanations and examples of how those words are used within each dialect. By consulting these dictionaries, translators can ensure accuracy and maintain the authenticity of the original dialect.
Another useful resource is online forums and communities where translators can connect with native speakers of various Portuguese dialects. These platforms allow translators to ask questions, seek clarification, and engage in discussions about the nuances of specific dialects. Through these interactions, translators can gain a deeper understanding of the dialects they are working with, enhancing the quality of their translations. Additionally, language exchange websites and apps can provide opportunities for translators to practice and improve their linguistic skills by conversing with native speakers in different Portuguese dialects.
Heading 10: Embracing the Richness of Portuguese Dialects in Translation
When it comes to translating Portuguese dialects, it is important to embrace and appreciate the richness that each dialect brings. Each dialect has its own unique vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar, reflecting the historical, cultural, and regional influences on the language. By understanding and acknowledging these differences, translators can ensure more accurate and culturally sensitive translations.
One way to embrace the richness of Portuguese dialects is to engage with native speakers and immerse oneself in the various dialects. This means actively seeking opportunities to listen to and speak with speakers of different dialects, whether through conversation, interviews, or recordings. By doing so, translators can gain a deeper understanding of the nuances and idiosyncrasies of each dialect, enabling them to capture the essence and authenticity of the original text in their translations.

The food court at The Mall at Barnes Crossing has had some empty spaces to fill for awhile, and we have an update for you because a few openings are around the corner..
Teppanyaki is a style of Japanese cuisine that uses an iron griddle to cook food
• First, we mentioned back in October that Teppanyaki Sun Japanese Grill was going to open in November. Obviously that didn’t happen, but it is now scheduled to open in January. It’s located in the former Cajun Grill space between Chick-Fil-A and Magic Wok.
The owners and operators of Teppanyaki Sun also own the Charley’s Philly Steaks location at the food court, and that’s where applications are available.
• A second restaurant opening in the food court is one we told you about in October as well.
It’s not exactly a restaurant though, as it serves ice cream. But not just any ice cream. The place is Yolo Rolo, which sells rolled ice cream.
So what is rolled ice cream? According to voanews.com and others, it’s often called “Thai stir-fried ice cream” because it’s made in the same way people cook meat and vegetables on a grill.
Then the ice cream begins to freeze. Next, the chef spreads it in a thin layer over the cold surface. After a few seconds, the chef uses a tool to scrape the ice cream off the cold surface and turn it into a roll.
The rolls are then put in a cup and covered with fruit or flavored syrup.
The Tupelo location is scheduled to open in February in the former Tutti Frutti location.
There are locations at the Parkway Place mall in Huntsville and the Oak Court mall in Memphis.
• A third restaurant also has its sights set on the food court, going in the space that was most recently Jimmy’s Burgers & Fries (which moved to South Gloster Street in front of Walls).
While the mall didn’t confirm the name, only saying it was going to be a restaurant coming soon, we have confirmation from other sources of who will be.
It will be American Deli, which has an eclectic menu that includes salads, chicken tenders, buffalo wings, burgers, fried rice, gyros, fried shrimp, fried fish and a few types of sandwiches.
It is scheduled to open in March.

A federal grand jury indicted an anti-government extremist
from Gastonia on charges of conspiring to violate federal firearms laws and other gun and drug charges. According to an affidavit, Walter Eugene Litteral and others were convinced the Jade Helm military exercise in the southwest U.S. was a front for the government to begin enforcing martial law and they planned to lure federal agents onto a piece of land in Clover, South Carolina, and kill them with assault rifles and explosives.
Legislators gave their final approval for a new budget
that will finance the state's government through June 2017 this morning. Governor Pat McCrory has said he will sign the budget into law before a temporary spending plan currently funding the state expires tonight. A handful of Republicans negotiated the budget and it has been criticized by many Democrats. Many of the votes approving the budget were along party lines.
The new state budget, expected to be finally approved by Gov. Pat McCrory today, will place a $500,00 cap on state funding for future light rail projects
. The cap wouldn't affect extension of the current Lynx Blue Line but could stifle proposals for similar projects throughout the city. The NC Department of Transportation will spend a total of about $400 million on the city's two current light-rail projects. City leaders have explored ideas such as building another light rail that would go from Uptown to Matthews and the Union County line.
One person was reportedly shot at Herrin Avenue and North Davidson Street
in NoDa last night around 10 p.m. Police said one person was taken to Carolinas Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. No one was arrested in connection with the shooting.
A 12-year-old autistic boy is safe at home in Union County
after wandering away from home yesterday evening and spending the entire night outdoors. Police said the boy wandered off at about 6:30 p.m. on Thursday and was found when he approached deputies near his home around 7 a.m. today.

I. The End of Job’s Life
A. Job pleads his integrity and unfairness of his suffering
1. Job 27:5–6 “Far be it from me that I should declare you right; Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me. 6“I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go. My heart does not reproach any of my days.
B. God Answers Job
1. Job 38:1–4 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, 2“Who is this that darkens counsel By words without knowledge? 3“Now gird up your loins like a man, And I will ask you, and you instruct Me! 4“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding,
a. Job 40:1–2 Then the Lord said to Job, 2“Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who reproves God answer it.”
b. Job 40:6–9 Then the Lord answered Job out of the storm and said, 7“Now gird up your loins like a man; I will ask you, and you instruct Me. 8“Will you really annul My judgment? Will you condemn Me that you may be justified? 9“Or do you have an arm like God, And can you thunder with a voice like His?
C. Jas 5:11 We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord’s dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful.
1. Focus on the important
a. The brevity of life
b. The blessing of health
c. The importance of family
d. The reign of God
e. Humility — Appreciation of God’s greatness
II. Universal Principle: God Repays in Greater Measure
A. We never suffer more than God blesses
1. We never give more than God returns
2. Not a prosperity gospel – that’s what Job’s friends would preach
3. God more than balances scales in our favor
a. Not on our schedule and demand – but ultimately
b. For Job’s life to illustrate the point, returning family and material blessings was clearest manifestation of God’s grace
B. Ec 7:8–10 The end of a matter is better than its beginning; Patience of spirit is better than haughtiness of spirit.
C. Most true in the Kingdom of God
1. Mk 10:29–31 Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake, 30but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life. 31“But many who are first will be last, and the last, first.”
D. Limitation of Principle: End of evil is not better than beginning
1. Ga 6:7–10 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. 8For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. 10So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.

2. Ro 2:6–8 who will render to each person according to his deeds: 7to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation.
III. Different Applications of the Principle
A. Grace and Mercy
1. Lk 6:36–38 “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. 37“Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned. 38“Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”
B. How you look at the world
1. Mk 8:34–37 And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. 35“For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. 36“For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? 37“For what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
2. Life is about what happens at the end
C. Money contributions
1. 2 Co 9:7–11

Rice University research develops nanostarfruits for research
Rice University research lab announced the development of starfruit-shaped gold nanorods to assist researchers in medical imaging and chemical sensing.
The nanorods were synthesized by chemist Eugene Zubarev and Leonid Vigderman, a graduate student at Rice's BioScience Research Collaborative. The results of their research were published in the American Chemical Society journal Langmuir. An abstract and links to the article may be found at pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/la300218z.
Nanorods such as those synthesized by the team at Rice are used to detect small amounts of organic molecules found in bodily fluids through surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), which can help detect the presence of particular diseases. These star-shaped nanorods have returned detection signals up to 25 times stronger than similar nanorods with smooth surfaces.
"SERS takes advantage of the ability of gold to enhance electromagnetic fields locally," said Zubarev in a release from Rice. "Fields will concentrate at specific defects, like the sharp edges of our nanostarfruits, and that could help detect the presence of organic molecules at very low concentration."
The nanostarfruits are synthesized by placing pentagonal cross-sections of highly purified gold nanorods in a 24-hour chemical bath. However, exactly why the particles take on the star shape is unknown.
"If we can modify the surface roughness such that biological molecules of interest will adsorb selectively on the surface of our rugged nanorods, then we can start looking at very low concentrations of DNA or cancer biomarkers," remarked Zubarev in the release. "There are many cancers where the diagnostics depend on the lowest concentration of the biomarker that can be detected."
Rice University is located at 6100 Main St. in Houston. For more information, visit rice.edu.

Family-oriented backyards are booming right now. Kid-centered architecture helps families make their yards more enjoyable and functional. Making your backyard safer and more fun for your kids is essential, as it’s proven that time spent outdoors makes you happier and healthier and improves mental clarity. Your kid-centered backyard can help your children spend more time outdoors and will give them the chance to have active playtime with friends and neighbors. Here are some great ways to make your backyard more kid-friendly.
Add an Age-Appropriate Play Structure
Play structures and playhouses are crucial for kids’ imaginative and physical play. With swings, climbing areas, bars, and other balance tools, kids can learn to use their bodies in new ways. The play structure you choose can have a huge impact on how your child develops.
Include a Sandbox
Sandboxes are great fun for kids from age three to early adolescence. Your children can have a day at the beach without leaving the yard with a simple sandbox. Sandboxes are also unbounded flowerbeds for the imagination. The simplicity of your sandbox will help your kids think without limits on what their creativity can unleash.
Put in Some Lighting
Your backyard lighting should be more than a couple of sconce light fixtures attached to the house. Lighting helps kids see when the day starts turning into night. Make sure that they have enough light throughout the yard for their safety and comfort in the evening.
Install Some Shade and a Privacy Fence
Finally, a fencing company is an essential partner in making your backyard kid-centered. In fact, according to U.S. Zoning Committee experts, between 80 and 90% of received zoning easement applications are for outdoor privacy fences. Your kids need to have privacy and safety while they play, and making sure that you have a sturdy fence is a key part of that. Your contractor can work with you to make sure that your fence both lets your kids feel unencumbered and helps them feel safe, regardless of the type of fence you choose.
Your kid-centric backyard can be a reality sooner than you think. If you have kids, they need a safe and private place to play and explore the world. Contact Family Fence Company today for a free in-home estimate on fencing for your property. We look forward to working with you!

The Obelisk of Light has always been a symbol of the Brotherhood's power. The first design dated to the outset of the First Tiberium War where they proved to be a deadly defensive emplacement for Nod. Another iteration of the device remained in effect by the Second Tiberium War where CABAL used the weapons to protect himself during the Firestorm Conflict. In fact, the AI went even further and developed the much improved CABAL Obelisk and Obelisk of Darkness. In the aftermath of the incident, the Brotherhood continued its refining of the technology and created the 'Isis' Laser. These new Obelisks of Light saw use during the Third Tiberium War where they demonstrated much more improved capabilities such as being capable of being charged by Beam Cannons.
Despite the fearsome nature of these weapons, one of the key weaknesses of the Obelisk was its lack of anti-air capabilities. This essentially meant that aerial assaults were capable of destroying the strutures unharmed. Despite this being the case; the Brotherhood had continued to use the Obelisk of Light, since its destructive power was unmatched by any defensive structure the Brotherhood possessed. However, after the Third Tiberium War, the Global Defense Initiative began to invest heavily in powerful stratospheric transports, as well as aerial capital ships. The Obelisks were useless against these powerful weapon platforms and could be easily reduced to rubble by them. This eventually led Nod to consider phasing out the Obelisks of Light in favor of a cheaper and more versatile alternative. As such, the Flame Column was developed to replace the Obelisk in an anti-infantry capacity and the long service of the Obelisk was seemingly coming to an end.
However, a breakthrough emerged when a Nod spy known as Henry Liu who was posing as a GDI Tiberium Control Network worker made a shocking discovery during his work. The operative uncovered a secret GDI installation that was the home of Echo; a research project tasked with the study of advanced Nod technology. What Liu discovered was a functional Obelisk of Darkness that dated back forty years ago to the Second Tiberium War. Once he reported to the Brotherhood Loyalists, a plan was drawn up and Kane dispatched the White Lady to acquire the technology covertly. The White Lady was successful in retrieving the artifact and making it appear as if it was the work of Nod Separatists. No evidence of what actually happened was left behind and allowed the Loyalists as well as Kane to appear to have nothing to do with the incident. Two years after the retrieval operation, the Brotherhood began fielding their new and improved DS-7 Obelisk of Light in 2074, which possessed an Anubis Class VII Military Laser with anti-air capabilities, and thereby restored the fearsome reputation of the weapon in the eyes of Nod.
Similar to previous generations of the technology, the Defense Structure 7 Obelisk possessed a powerful laser weapon capable of destroying heavily armored targets. Classed for Heavy Base Defense, it was heavily reinforced in order to protect it from enemy attacks. It also possessed the new "Anubis" class beam which was far superior to the previous "Isis" class as not only was it capable of damaging thick armor but could target flying aircraft. However, the targeting system meant that this new series of Obelisk lost the sweeping laser effect of its ancestors and thus could not kill multiple enemy infantry as it used to accomplish. An improvement of the previous charging technology used in the "Isis" class, which involved Beam Cannons, was also introduced into the DS-7 Obelisk as multiple of these emplacements were capable of channeling their energy into a prime Obelisk, thus providing it with much more power. The devastating attacks of these charged assaults was even capable of destroying enemy Crawler's with only a few strikes.
Certain Nod commanders were also capable of upgrading the focusing crystal of these Obelisks with a prism crystal. This discharged the laser blast so that it could splinter and strike multiple targets, making up for the lack of a sweeping beam. The improvement was designed to help support the emplacement if placed alone and without support, though it was not a standard feature of the weapon. This was due to the fact that the prism crystals drew much more power than normal, and the upgrade process took some time to complete. Furthermore, like its previous versions, the DS-7 Obelisk of Light took time to charge for its attack, which resulted in a slow rate of fire.
- The Prism upgrade adds a bigger focusing crystal to the obelisk to increase power. But in real life, a bigger crystal would just dissipate the laser into smaller useless beams, essentially turning it into a big disco ball.

Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk is giving solar-powered homes a serious uplift. Last Friday night in Los Angeles, the ever-radical tech bigwig revealed the company’s latest project: its own line of sleek “rooftop solar tiles,” along with complementary upgrades to Tesla’s Powerwall home batteries.
With its multi-billion dollar acquisition of leading solar energy provider SolarCity in progress, Tesla has been leading the charge in a burgeoning industry. And a future of PV-integrated roofs—an idea already being explored in tiny houses and electric cars—has also been a much-teased component of the company’s grand plans. Now, we have a closer look at that vision. UPDATE: On Friday, March 24, 2017, Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted that the company will start taking orders for its rooftop solar tiles in April. However, pricing details and timeline for delivery have not been disclosed.
Below, five key things to know about Musk’s recent reveal.
1. These definitely don’t look like regular rooftop solar panels
A big draw of these Tesla panels is their inconspicuous aesthetic. Musk unveiled four different types of glass panels integrated with solar cells, ranging from a Tuscan glass tile to a textured glass tile. To the unsuspecting eye, they look just like conventional roof tiling. In fact, Musk chose to showcase the tiles on the Desperate Housewives set at Universal Studios, suggesting just how easily they can be integrated into the standard American home.
2. They’re pretty strong
During his presentation, Musk demonstrated the strength of the tiles with a video showing a drop test. The glass tiles are stronger than materials such as clay and slate, according to Musk, who added that since “it’s made of quartz, it has a quasi-infinite lifetime.”
3. There’s minimal sacrifice in efficiency
Musk claims his glass tiles are 98 percent as efficient as traditional rooftop solar panels so they should be able to produce nearly the same amount of energy.
4. The roof is meant to complement the Powerwall
These new solar roof tiles are designed to work with Tesla’s Powerwall batteries, which also got an upgrade. The Powerwall 2 can store 14 kWh of energy, with a 5 kW continuous power draw, and 7 kW peak—enough to power an entire home and an electric car. The battery is crucial for electricity storage, and when combined with the solar tiles, will get you off the grid.
5. Price details aren’t available (yet)
Details on how to install the actual roof weren’t mentioned either. But according to Musk, the cost of these panels will still be cheaper than the cost of a normal roof plus electricity. He says these panels will be available for installation beginning in the summer of 2017.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane . . . it’s Superhunk.
On Day 8 of the Capitol riot hearings, while the committee presented evidence of former President Donald Trump’s alleged role in last year’s violent attack, many viewers were thinking the same thing: Who was that hot Clark Kent look-alike sitting in the crowd? That’s right, an unidentified Superman doppelganger stole the show at Thursday’s hearing with the hashtag “Clark Kent” trending on Twitter late Thursday night.
“Ok yes Trump is guilty….BUT WHO IS THIS…Ok Clark Kent!!” exclaimed one Twitter user of the unidentified eye candy.
The mystery man in question, who was seated behind witnesses Matthew Pottinger and Sarah Matthews, was sporting a sleek navy suit and glasses — earning him comparisons to Superman’s bespectacled reporter alter-ego, Clark Kent.
Social media went absolutely gaga over the handsome Man of Steel facsimile.
One awestruck commenter quipped, “Why are people questioning Clark Kent’s presence at the Jan. 6 hearings? He’s obviously covering the event for the Daily Planet.”
“When you have no idea you’re trending and about to walk out of that hearing to a modeling contract, a marriage proposal and a three-way,” fawned another fanboy.
One Twitter wit attached a screenshot of the man adjusting his glasses with the caption: “This is so infuriating you got Clark Kent about to go full Superman.”
Even Bravo boss Andy Cohen wanted to know the identity of the aesthetically endowed stranger.
“Who on earth is this?” Cohen wondered, before asking if Superhunk was seeing anyone.
New York Magazine writer Yashar Ali teased that he knows who the mystery man is, but didn’t reveal his source, only disclosing that the attractive attendee is off the market. “The good looking man sitting behind Pottinger is not single,” he wrote. “That’s all I will say and that’s all you need to know!”
