Hi guys, let’s get cute again! I am still drawing from my supply of colored critters from the 30 Day Coloring Challenge earlier this year. This time, we are meeting Purple Onion Designs “Birch” wearing a rainbow hat. I wanted to keep the fur of the bunny white, so I needed a colorful accent and a rainbow hat seemed perfect:
The bunny was colored with Polychromos pencils, and I took special are to add those “folds” to the hat to make it look like it was folding in certain areas. All I did was use my black pencil, very carefully, to add darker areas. I had no idea if it would work, but was pleased about how it turned out.
Of course, this happy little fella had to “burst” onto the scene, so I made him appear out of this peek-hole which I die cut with a die from Pretty Pink Posh. You can either leave it closed and the recipient has to open it up, but I decided to open it up and even adhered the flaps with foam tape to the panel so it would stay open.
I kept the background pattern and the sentiment in the same color so it would not distract from the bunny too much. I also slightly misaligned the sentiment because I was too lazy to get my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig out, so I had to grab a circle stamp and add more dots to the right than to the left to balance it out.
And of course, the finishing touch were the Pretty Pink Posh sequins, mirroring the colors on the bunny’s hat. Thank you for stopping by today!

Taking care of any car does not only mean that you need to wash the car regularly and take care of its exterior and interior, but it also involves maintaining the machinery. Especially if you own a luxury car like Audi which requires special care.
To ensure that your Audi stays in good condition, several maintenance tips can help you to keep a pleasant driving experience with Audi. Regular car repair & maintenance will extend Audi’s lifespan and minimize the visits to Audi Service Center for major damage repair. These tips include:
Regular inspection and maintenance Audi Auto Service near me:
There is no doubt that taking proper care of your car is the best way to maintain it. Choosing a mechanic who specializes in Audi service is the best way to ensure that your prized possession is taken care of properly. Audis need extra care than other makes, which means that somebody who knows the latest technology and specialty should be trusted for the maintenance of this car.
The Audi manufacturers recommend that if you drive less than 10,000 miles per year, you should service every 12 months, while those that drive cars over 10,000 miles a year can get two years between services. For that, you can search Audi Auto Service near me and visit the best one. The best mechanic will notify you about signs of potential issues such as wheel re-alignment, or battery replacement, and fix it after your approval. However, the regular service includes pressure checks, filter replacements, and the usage of genuine parts.
Regular inspection and replacement of engine oil:
The engine oil lubricates, protects and cleans the car’s engine. It also improves sealing, prevents corrosion, and cools the engine by carrying heat away from other parts of the car. Regularly checking and changing the oil and filter of Audi is the simplest and most important step for preventative maintenance.
Changing the car’s fluids at Audi Service Center Dubai regularly can help to avoid breakdowns. It also prevents the build-up of too much dirt and sludge in the engine. Moreover, it also improves mileage, which means you will need to fill up less petrol.
Use the correct grade fuel:
To follow the rule, you should use premium fuel for your Audi. Premium fuel contains additional detergents and additives that normal petrol does not, and this means your car’s engine will run cleaner and you don’t have to visit Audi Service Center Dubai. Using regular petrol can cause several issues in your Audi, such as damaging pistons and other engine parts, poor engine performance, and fuel economy. Audi manufacturers also recommend high-quality petrol because the car’s complex fuel system works efficiently with higher octane fuel.
Wheel alignment, Tyre maintenance, and tyre wear check:
Whether it is front, rear or all four wheels, properly aligned wheels are an important part of maintaining your car. If your Audi’s tyre treads are wearing unevenly, the steering wheel is pulling in one direction, or the steering is hard to handle, these are the signs that your car needs a wheel alignment.
Check the tread depth of the tyre and should be over the minimum legal requirement of 1.6mm. Additionally, check there should be no nails or odd marks on the tyres. Moreover, inspect the tyres for irregular wear from time to time. If you see any sign of wear, visit Audi Service Center Dubai.
Regular checks on other car parts:
Regular checks are important to spot something wrong early enough to avoid major damage and visit Audi Service Center Dubai for it. Make sure you are using suitable car care products specifically designed for washing cars. The regular checks include:
- Brake disc maintenance: Water and moisture can easily build up within brakes, which can cause rusting.
- Wiper blades maintenance: Wiper blades should be handled with care, never flap the wiper arms to avoid damage to the windshield.
To conclude, as keeping everything working in your car is important, so is its outward appearance. Audi Service Center Dubai’s experts suggest using high-quality mats and carpets to maintain the longevity of the car’s flooring. Moreover, regularly vacuum up any leaves, dirt and food scraps from the floor.

Need ability to send notifications upon user creation
We have a use case where we have created a New Hire onboarding super form that lets a manager put the details in for the new hire and click checkboxes of what accounts/equipment they need and child tickets are generated for each item requested. Back when we had ServiceNow 7 months ago, we had the ability to have the system trigger a notification that went out whenever a user record was created. We had the notification configured as an alert to the manager that directed them a link to the user-facing portal (like Guide) to the request form that did that in that system.
Looking for a way in Zendesk to be able to create an automation or trigger based on changes to the Users table so that we can auto-trigger similar notifications that could direct people to use the new hire form to request all the accounts and equipment that they need.
I've heard about Zapier in another community thread, but that had terrible reviews and is a fee based service that is not what we are looking for. I know Zendesk is not terribly database driven, but it would be great if we could have some kind of way to act on changes to the User table, say, upon record creation.
I think this would be an amazing addition, particularly for Zendesk instances publicly accessible.
If the admins or other specific users could be notified when a new user account gets created (for example, following the registration), they could immediately verify the email address, assign the new user to a given organization, and so on with so many use cases.
It would be as well great if such event could be "listened" by other automation platforms, like Okta Workflows or Microsoft Power Automate. That way, even more stuff could be automated through via API calls.
Please, consider to include this feature in a future release.

Russian Potato and Mushroom Croquettes
Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
- 1 pound Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup minced yellow onion
- 3 ounces white mushrooms, chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon dried chives
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1-1.5 cups dried bread crumbs
- cooking oil
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Scrub potatoes, pat dry, wrap in foil and bake in the preheated oven for 75 minutes, then allow to cool.
- Heat oil in a skillet and saute onions until lightly browned.
- Add mushrooms and garlic; continue to cook until mushrooms have lost their moisture and are cooked through; allow to cool somewhat.
- Peel the cooled baked potatoes and place in a mixing bowl with the egg, chives, salt and black pepper; mash mixture with a potato masher.
- Stir in the cooked mushroom mixture and mix well.
- Place bread crumbs on a shallow bowl or plate; heat oil about half inch deep in the skillet.
- Take mixture by rounded tablespoonfuls (I use a standard cookie dough scoop to make it easy) and drop in the bread crumbs, coating thoroughly.
- Flatten ball into a patty/cake and place in the hot oil.
- Cook until golden on both sides, using a fork to gently flip them; drain on paper toweling.
- Serve with sour cream and chives if desired. Although not Russian, Thousand Island dressing would be excellent with this as well (I like that with my sauerkraut and potato croquettes which are quite similar.)
Makes: 20 croquettes
Time: about 2 hours (including time to bake potatoes)

At the entrance of the port of Chania is situated the Fortress FIRKA, which was constructed by the Venetians (1204-1669), in order to establish the local guard and at the same time to use it as a prison for the persons condemned to death.Later on the Turks (1669- 1898) used it for the same purpose and established there the Division Command. The name FIRKA, which in the Turkish language means DIVISION, remained since then.
Today, at the entrance of this Fortress is situated the Maritime Museum of Crete, which holds a concessive position since here, on December 1st 1913, the Greek flag has been hoisted, sealing the UNION OF CRETE with the motherland Greece.
The museum is easily accessible by car and there is parking space available in the area. Also, one can combine a visit to the museum with a pleasant walk around the Venetian Harbor and the Old Town.
The Maritime Museum of Crete was founded in 1973 in order to accommodate and present our naval traditions, and especially those of Crete , which they constitute a part of the national glory. These are the traditions that the Greek waves have made a chantey throughout the centuries and our national conscience bequeaths from generation to generation. The M.M.C. in Chania is located in the beneficial area at the entrance of the Fortress of Firka, where on December 1 st 1913 the Greek flag has been hoisted as the crowning of the Union of Crete with the Motherland Greece.
The local press pointed out during the opening day of the museum: the Maritime Museum is a great proof of the interest and love for our glorious Greek Navy, which continuing its wonderful traditions in war and peace, bequeaths to this provincial city of Greece a cultural space congruent with the best ones of that type in Europe.
The MMC is the second maritime one in antiquity in Greece, after the Maritime Museum of Greece in Piraeus and it welcomes approximately 36,000 visitors per year.
The museum is separated in different rooms, dedicated to a cretan period: Bronze Age, Byzantine period, Balkan Wars, Independance Struggle, Wordl War II, Country Shrive, Post War period, Greek destroyer brifge model, Marchant navy.

File this under fantasy Sunday morning: lounging in bed reading the paper and enjoying breakfast in bed with an attractive British bloke. Push that aside, and we realize that this seemingly picture-perfect moment (brought to us by the film Imagine Me & You) could be marred by...what is that? A stack of magazines acting as a nightstand?
Upon further reflection, we admit that the idea is not too bad: we get a LOT of magazine; and for some reason, we hold on to them for the sake of...research...or something like that. In fact, we're looking at a stack of W Magazines dating all the way back to 2002 that we've lugged from our first bachelorette pad in Los Feliz to our current suburban soccer mom home in Pasadena. We'd be lucky to get something half as useful as a nightstand out of them for all the space they're taking up in our home office.
What do you think? Would you put your old magazines to use as a nightstand?
(And for the record, we're thinking Piper Perabo might want to add a few more magazines if she wants her bedside lamp to be put to optimal use. It's a bit low, don't you think?)

Hungary’s ruling Socialists have started the search for a new Prime Minister to tackle the country’s economic and financial crisis.
Ferenc Gyurcsany quit saying he wanted to help Hungary ease itself out of the worst recession in at least 16 years. His successor, who will need opposition support, is set to be elected on April 14 by parliament. Hungary became the first European Union country to secure an International Monetary Fund-led bailout when it lined up 20 billion euros last year to avert economic collapse According to its central bank the economy will contract 3.5 percent this year. The outgoing Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany had little choice to stand down as his government’s popularity plummeted. The Socialists will hold an extraordinary party congress on April 5th when they will name their new candidate.

About: Bunbury Hospital / Emergency Department Bunbury Hospital Emergency Department Bunbury 6230
Posted by serpenskt78 (as ),
I was experiencing chronic pain in my bowels, and I had experienced worsening pain over the course of a week. Until it became so unbearable I went to Bunbury Hospital’s Emergency Department (ED), from which I was sent home without truly listening to my symptoms. A surgeon only consulted with my attending emergency doctor, to which I was never seen by. I was sent home with a cream.
After a very painful, sleepless night, this time I went to my local hospital’s ED. This story can be read here. While there, tests found I had a very large abscess in my rectum not much smaller than a tennis ball. I was transferred back to Bunbury Hospital again and was told to report to the Emergency Department (ED) and that they were expecting me.
Upon arrival, there was no Triage Nurse on the ED Emergency window and I was waiting patiently for a short while, standing as I could not sit, again nearly passing out from the pain. I felt I was blatantly ignored by a staff member at the Emergency Window, who clearly had a lot of photocopying to do whilst an emergency patient was waiting. My spouse had to walk up to them and approach them to be spoken to, to be told I had to wait to be triaged and please sit down over there. My spouse and I were both told by the other hospital that we would be expected by the surgical team at Bunbury Hospital and we relayed this to a staff member that I felt was very unsympathetic.
It seemed we were a bother to them and I feel at no stage displayed any willingness to help us in our time of need. I remained standing in a corner and my spouse went and ran off to find someone who can help. They later returned with a Hospital Coordinator who saw to it that I was seen immediately.
We were not told we had to be triaged again by the other hospital which was their mistake for not telling us the procedure, however the lack of nurses at Bunbury did not help the situation either, plus a very rude staff member who I feel should not be working with patients in an emergency situation. We didn’t see any nurses the entire time we were waiting at the window or seeing patients waiting in Emergency.
We were seen by a Triage Nurse and finally admitted. I had to remain standing throughout this whole process and only after I had seen the triage nurse was I offered a bed to lay in, about an hour after arriving.
I was taken for CT Scans to which everyone past the Emergency Triage arrival point were extremely helpful at every stage of the way, from pain relief to explaining what was happening to me, and that I was going in for emergency surgery (I’m not 100% sure but I think I was the last surgery for the night and possibly the staff even stayed back to see that I had the surgery that I needed to which I am eternally grateful). The doctor was a true professional and not once made me feel embarrassed about the surgery I was having. I was extremely embarrassed naturally, but this was definitely soothed by all the surgical staff. Please accept the highest level of gratitude from myself for all their professionalism.
In recovery at night, all the staff before the evening shift change were absolutely amazing and very supportive, but once the shift handover happened that is a different story.I was in recovery in a bed I was told I could not flatten until the nurse had given me antibiotics, nor could I turn the light off. I was very tired from surgery and uncomfortable. About midnight came along and although my spouse was sitting next to my bedside, not bothering a single soul, they were kicked out. I expressed my most desperate plea that it was not safe for them to drive home to a country regional area with kangaroos on the road and being tired. They were kicked out anyway even after the nurses my spouse had spoken to earlier told my spouse they could stay.
My spouse was told they weren’t a boarding hotel and they would call security if they had to. There was immediate rudeness towards my spouse for staying by my side. My spouse would have left much earlier and a safer time to travel. Their safety getting home, I feel, was of no concern to the two-night nurses that kicked them out. I was waiting until after midnight for my post-operation antibiotics, for my bed to flatten and for the lights above my bed to be turned off or even for some anti-nausea medicine. I was very nauseous from the surgery.
All I remember was the one nurse constantly complaining about been short-staffed, and spoke loud so everyone could hear, even early morning having a full-blown conversation with a patient in the bed next to me.
I believe it was very disruptive to all patients in the ward. At one point during the morning I realised that my IV drip in my wrist had become dislodged during what little sleep I did manage to get. My bandages had come loose from my bum as well which I did notify the nurse. I feel I was blatantly ignored and left for the bandages on my bottom to become looser and looser, to which blood and faecal material was on the bed I had to sleep in.
This was not my fault but was a result of just having rectal surgery. I cannot believe to this day that a nurse would allow someone to lay in such poor conditions. I understand they may have been busy, but after kicking my spouse out at midnight I don’t have much empathy. They are dealing with sick patients to which empathy I feel for people in need is a job requirement.
The nurses and surgical staff did follow-ups in the morning and I was released, the surgical staff organised follow up appointments and saw to it I had everything I needed before being discharged.
I am recovering well, but a few times throughout this emergency process I feel the system failed me by:
1. Sending me home from Emergency initially without running any tests.
2. Arrival back at Bunbury Emergency and being ignored by support staff.
3. My spouse being kicked out at midnight after my surgery, after being told by someone else they could stay by my side. This was a serious safety risk in them driving home in the middle of the night, kangaroos on the road and driver fatigue.
4. Being left to lay in my own blood and faecal matter after a surgery and quite possibly delayed in receiving proper pain relief and care from the night nurses.
The care I received from the surgical staff at Bunbury was extraordinary.
I write this to improve services to people in need in the future. There are always budgetary limitations in any business. Government and healthcare are no different, it shouldn’t be, but it is.
Empathy costs nothing.
Please pass onto the Bunbury Surgical team that their very well-run team was such a comfort and I'm very grateful for the speediness and professionalism.

"I wake up 3.30 am for Yoga, embraced vegan lifestyle; PM Modi suggested AYUSH 'Vaidya' during Covid": CJI Chandrachud
New Delhi [India], February 22 (ANI): In a notable revelation, the Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud on Thursday disclosed his adoption of a vegan diet and commitment to practicing yoga as integral components of his lifestyle.
Emphasising the importance of holistic well-being, CJI Chandrachud disclosed that he has adhered to a vegan diet for the past five months and intends to continue this dietary regimen.
"I practice Yoga. I woke up at 3:30 this morning to do yoga. Additionally, I have been following a vegan diet for the last 5 months. I am trying to focus on a holistic pattern of life, which begins with what you eat, of course, and what you put into your system," Chief Justice Chandrachud told ANI while sharing insights into his wellness practices.
CJI also shared his experience when he was down with COVID-19 for the first time and Prime Minister Narendra Modi called him and suggested him 'Vaidya' from AYUSH for treatment.
"I have been associated with AYUSH since Covid broke. I had a really bad attack with Covid and the Prime Minister called me up and said, 'I believe that you are down with Covid and I hope everything is fine. I realise that you are not in good shape but we will do everything. There is a 'Vaidya' who is also a Secretary at AYUSH and I will arrange a call with him who will send you medicine and all.' I took medicine from AYUSH when I was down with Covid. The 2nd3rd times when I had Covid, I didn't take any allopathic medicine at all...," said CJI.
CJI Chandrachud said a holistic lifestyle is important not just for the judges and their immediate families, but also for the staff members.
"I underwent Panchakarma about a year ago, and I am looking forward to doing it again now, as it is the turn of the season," he said further.
Chief Justice of India on Thursday inaugurated an AYUSH Holistic Wellness Centre at the Supreme Court premises. The event was attended by Sarbananda Sonowal, Minister of AYUSH, Mahendra Munjapara, Minister of State for Ministry of AYUSH and Prof (Dr) Tanuja Nesari, Director and of All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA).
The facility has been set up with the active participation of the AlIA under the aegis of the Ministry of AYUSH.
The AYUSH Holistic Wellness Centre in the Supreme Court premises is a state-of-the-art facility providing holistic care addressing physical, mental and emotional well-being, promoting the overall health of the judges and staff of the Supreme Court of India. On this occasion, an MoU regarding establishing, operationalising and providing expert services at the AYUSH Holistic Wellness Centre was also signed between the Supreme Court and the All India Institute of Ayurveda.
CJI said that it's important to consider a holistic lifestyle, not just for the judges and their immediate families, but also for the staff members.
"We have over 2000 staff members in the Supreme Court, including our colleagues, all 34 judges who bear tremendous stress in their daily work, leading to a heavy workload of files. I believe it's important to consider a holistic lifestyle, not just for the judges and their immediate families, but also for the staff members. Through them, we can propagate this message for the rest of the country," he said.
On the opening of AYUSH centre in the apex court premises, CJI said that he is concerned about more than 2000 staff members of the Supreme Court, as they don't get the facilities that judges have.
"I want them to have a holistic pattern of life... I would like to thank the minister Sarbananda Sonowal..," CJI said.
"On the benefits of traditional Ayurveda, I am deeply grateful to all the doctors and Ayush. They have a wonderful facility at Saket, and now we are bringing this to the Supreme Court. Each of the doctors who contributed to this has scientifically prepared this facility. We are unveiling this to the Supreme Court and, through it, to the entire nation," he added. (ANI)

Now the car has a clipping sound, almost like the fan touching something, coming from the timing chain on the rightside bank of the engine. What could this be and what will need to be replaced? The car still starts and idles with no missfire. Idling is a little rough though with the clipping sound very load while idling.
I've accidently floored the accelerator when I've started my 540i A. on 1999 BMW 540i
Asked by for the 1999 BMW 540i
It could be many things, unfortunately and without hearing the noise first hand or being able to do some basic diagnostic tests or be able to drive the car, its hard to say what the source of the noise may be. If the engine "over reved" carbon under the valves could be dislodged and may cause a misfire, does the check engine light come on while the engine is running? The problem may go away but safest to get a professional experienced with BMW to listen to the noise and se what they think is causing the noise.
There is no warning lights burning while the car idles,and it does not missfire while idling. I don't want to drive with the car as it might cause more damage to the engine. Could it be the timing chain's guide rails or maybe tensioner that took a beating? What about the Vanos? Could something have dislodged or broke? I've had a few leads to what it might be, but no one can tell for certain what could be wrong. All of them stated that I need to open up the front end of the engine to determine the problem. I've hoped to try and rectify the problem without taking anything apart.

Senate to probe $400million polio fund
The Senate will soon commence probe of alleged misuse of over $400million donated by foreign agencies for the fight against polio in the country.
Chairman of the Senate Committee on Primary Health Care and Communicable Diseases, Senator Mao Ohuabunwa (PDP, Abia North) who stated this in a press briefing said the Senate would conduct an open investigation into the alleged abuse of the donation. The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI) based in Geneva had accused the country of mismanaging the funds donated for the fight against polio.
“We want to reassure all donors and partners of our resolve to ensure donor funds are also well spent and that they reach the masses that need them. Key funding agencies like Global Fund, GAVI and several others will be engaged by my committee to ensure mistakes of the past are avoided and that funds from these donors are used judiciously,” he said.
Ohuabunwa also disclosed that the committee was preparing to beam its searchlight on the recent disbursement of $1.5 million to the 36 states as first tranche of money under the Saving One Million Lives Program for Results (SOMLPforR).

Criminologists have explored the way “moral panics,” often created by lurid journalism, can foster development of a public perception of a new crime wave that results in irrational knee-jerk policies. In addition, I believe the media’s influence can be even more insidious and pernicious by constructing an atmosphere of fear and hopelessness that pervades a community.
This is the atmosphere that has infected Memphis — a fear of crime that is so pervasive that many citizens incorrectly believe they are at constant risk of victimization and that little, if anything, is being done to address crime. The infection undermines our body politic by weakening social bonds among neighbors, destabilizes our neighborhoods, chips away at our confidence in our civic and social institutions, and undercuts concerted and thoughtful crime prevention efforts. It attacks our community confidence at home and may be destroying the city’s ability to attract new residents, build new businesses and attract industry, and improve economic vitality for all of our citizens.
During a recent trip to North Carolina, I met three people who asked where I was from. When I said Memphis, two of them said, “No wonder you are moving. Crime in Memphis is out of control.” Interestingly, neither had been to Memphis in over 10 years, but they had “heard” about the city.
It is not that crime isn’t a serious issue in our city. It unquestionably is. However, the manner in which crime is reported and discussed, particularly by the media, is central to any serious effort to enhance public safety. Both violent and property crimes have declined in Memphis, and many groups are diligently working to further reduce their rates. The Memphis media should never forget that they are also citizens of the community and have a civic responsibility to provide balanced and thoughtful reporting.
Today we know a great deal about both the genesis of crime and effective crime prevention strategies. A responsible press has a duty to use that information in reporting about crime to strengthen citizen understanding and open new avenues for civic participation in crime prevention without stoking irrational fears. Our media can be a truthful partner in building a great city that leads the nation in crime prevention.
Richard Janikowski is an associate professor in the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of Memphis.

A sweet treat nutrient dense drink for winter
If you’re like me and you just love all things Christmas, especially the festive season’s treats, then this sweet little superfood smoothie will be right up your street.
Inspired by the great British seasonal classic; the Christmas cake, this Kefir smoothie is packed full of fruit, nuts and spices just like its cakier counterpart. But unlike its much denser and sweeter cousin, this smoothies onus is on filling you with nutrient rich antioxidants and flavonoids rather than just fat and refined sugar.
It is worth bearing in mind however that whilst the sweetness of this recipe comes from health promoting ingredients, it isn’t to be drunk by the gallon as you will still get a natural sugar spike off its consumption and it’s not the lightest on calories. Perfect as a fuel release pre training, or in a smaller quantity as a healthier sweet treat alternative.
- Approx 150 ml kefir
- Approx 200 ml almond Milk
- Handful of almonds
- Handful of dried cranberries
- Handful of sultanas
- Teaspoon of organic cacao powder
- Teaspoon of maca powder
- 2 – 4 cubes dark chocolate (optional)
- Handful of oats
- Sprinkle to taste of cinnamon, cloves & nutmeg powder
A probiotic that promotes a healthy gut biome through populating it with good bacteria, and also a source of protein.
- Almond Milk
Oatly Original Oat Drink 1 Litre (Pack of 6)
Packed full of vitamin E, an important antioxidant which helps maintain healthy eyes and skin, as well as supporting the immune system. Also a great non dairy source of calcium.
- Whole Almonds
RealFoodSource Almonds, Whole & Natural (1kg)
As well as the aforementioned calcium and vitamin E; whole almonds are also a great source of protein and fibre and B vitamins, especially folate and biotin (vitamin B7). Almonds also contain the minerals selenium, zinc, calcium, magnesium.
- Dried cranberries
Dried Cranberries, 500 g
The addition of these antioxidant and fibrous packed red fruits, will add a tartness to the smoothie. Known for helping with urinary tract infections, studies are also showing that cranberries could positively affect your gut biome.
High in natural sugars, the addition of a small handful of phytonutrient crammed raisins or sultanas are a great way to add sweetness to any dish. Eaten in moderation they can aid digestion and help to boost your iron levels. Athletes can use them as a quick source of carbohydrate for endurance.
- Organic cacao powder
Naturya | Organic Peruvian Cacao Powder 250g | Certified Organic, Fair Trade, Vegan & Kosher Superfood | Balances your mood and boosts energy
A nutrient dense superfood full of magnesium,potassium, and iron along with a whole range of antioxidants, Cacao is also known to have mood lifting properties. If possible use the raw organic cacao, which can contain up to 90% more antioxidants than a cacao that has gone through “Dutch processing”.
- Maca powder
Sevenhills Wholefoods Organic Maca Powder 500g
The claimed benefits of this Peruvian cruciferous vegetable are still under investigation but could include; reducing blood pressure and depression, especially in menopausal women, as well as potentially having neuroprotective properties. It’s taste is a little bit like Horlics.
- Dark chocolate
Montezuma’s 73% Cocoa Very Dark Chocolate Organic 100 g (Pack of 4)
Arguably not as healthy as unrefined cacao due to its high fat content and less pure cacao content, dark chocolate is however still crammed full of all the health promoting benefits of its purer powdered form.

Travis Barker has significantly elevated his status in the music industry, which is evident, especially during his difficult times. Fans kept cheering for Travis and sending well-wishes as he battled pancreatitis, and he seemingly recovered just fine. Now the Blink-182 drummer is dealing with an apparent case of COVID-19.
Travis Barker revealed on Thursday that he tested positive for coronavirus. He revealed it just two months after being admitted to the hospital for a ‘life-threatening’ case of pancreatitis. The 46-year-old rock star announced the news to his more than seven million Instagram followers by posting a shirtless photo of himself drumming in a dimly lit room.
“Covid sucks, I’d rather play the drums,” the dad-of-two, who is currently performing on tour with Machine Gun Kelly on his Mainstream Sellout Tour, captioned the photo on Instagram. Neither Machine Gun Kelly nor Barker’s wife, Kourtney Kardashian, have stated whether they have contracted the highly contagious disease.
On Tuesday, the 43-year-old Poosh founder shared several photos of herself ‘backstage’ with her man as they held hands during one of their tour stops in Cleveland, Ohio. Kardashian revealed she got the virus for the second time in June, the same month her husband revealed his pancreatitis was triggered by a polyp removal ‘in a very sensitive area’ during an endoscopy.
Travis has been through a lot lately as a result of his sudden deterioration in health. We wish him a speedy recovery. To get the latest updates, keep an eye on Thirsty.

Following the transfer of experiences, ideas, knowledge and best practices of the partner regions, which were presented throughout the CityZen project, CIMBAL, in partnership with CEBAL - Centre for Agricultural Biotechnology and Agro-Food Alentejo are developing the project Hortas TOP.
Hortas TOP integrates various actions related to urban agriculture in extracurricular activities in schools in the thirteen municipalities of Baixo Alentejo during the 2022/2023 school year, promoting the vertical cultivation of local aromatic plants. These activities help to awaken children's interest in the area where they live and strengthen their sense of belonging. It also aims to promote direct contact with nature, specifically the germination of seeds to produce plants linked to the diet.
This project also aims to raise awareness of the efficient use of water, to raise awareness of the importance of healthy and organic food, to promote the Mediterranean diet concept and to enhance the use and valorisation of endogenous resources.
The project Hortas TOP started on the 18th of January 2023, at the São João Baptista School Centre in Beja, as a result of the partnership between CIMBAL and CEBAL, within the scope of the Project + Educational Success in Baixo Alentejo.
This activity will be carried out in all schools in the region, which are involved in the challenge of implementing the vertical vegetable garden concept, with pre-school and 1st cycle 2nd year students. The success of this project can be measured by the involvement of 1165 students and 64 classes, from the 16 existing groupings.
The vertical school gardens will be a tool to contribute to the promotion of school success, through the introduction of knowledge in a "hands-on" concept (learning by doing), which allows, alongside the acquisition of technical and practical knowledge, to develop social and emotional skills that include critical thinking, creativity, self-knowledge, cooperation, communication and openness to new things, among others, necessary to promote autonomy and independence, the relationship with others and the world around them.

“On January 26th, the government will be celebrating the adoption of its constitution with a military parade, while continuing to perpetuate harmful policies that violate their own Constitution.” - the toolkit.
The “toolkit” was uploaded on Twitter by Greta Thunberg, the Swedish activist on February 3rd, Wednesday. Following the upload raged a ‘Tweetstorm’ leading to more disputes, including the arrest of a 21-year-had old.
It contained lists on ‘urgent actions’ and ‘prior actions’, describing meticulously on how the protests against the three contentious farm laws should be done. The toolkit called for online strikes, protests around Indian missions abroad, media houses, government buildings and also suggested tagging our prime minister, agricultural minister and other heads of our nation and international bodies with ‘Ask India Why’ hashtag.
The document ‘exposed’ details about the 26th January riots, as per the Delhi cops. Targeting Republic Day was explained by the deep contempt the document showed for Indian democracy. It said that “India has a long history of human rights violations, violence, and a cruel indifference for its most vulnerable citizens”.
Consequently, the Delhi police labeled the toolkit as a pro-Khalistani move. They pressed charges on Thursday against the creators of the toolkit created by Greta. Greta would delete and re-upload an ‘updated toolkit’ that called for protests on 13th and 14th February. The police would transcribe the case as an ‘overseas conspiracy’ enmeshed in the farmer protests.
In connection to this incident, Disha Ravi, a 21-year-old activist living in Bengaluru was arrested on 13th February from her home on the grounds of editing the toolkit and sending it ahead. She was one of the founders of the “Friday the Future” campaign. Ravi was produced in court and would be held in police custody for 5 days. The Delhi Police considered the creator of the toolkit, the ‘Poetic Justice Foundation’ as Khalistani group. Their point of view was that “if you go by unfolding of events of January 26, it reveals a copycat execution of the action plan.”
The police registered the case for “spreading disaffection against the government of India- its regarding sedition and disharmony between the groups on religious, social and cultural grounds.” The policy aimed to ask Google and the media giants to provide them with URLs and ids of the social media accounts belonging to the creators of the toolkit, that was uploaded through Google docs and shared on Twitter. The Centre also asked Twitter to delete 1178 accounts, which said to spread miscommunication and disputation about the farmer riots.


Glasgow is ranked fifth and Edinburgh sixth in a new report that ranks UK cities for their social media and online news mentions.
The UK’s Most Talked About Cities report aims to provide new insight into which are the most visible cities on social media and in online news.
Produced by communications consultancy for the built environment ING Media, the report takes global cities indices and reorders them by their share of online conversation.
The research is designed to help city policymakers, placemakers and promoters understand how online presence impacts a city’s brand and highlights “why we need to talk about he digital presence of cities, what controls these conversations and how digital conversations are changing the role and nature of cities around the world.”
London tops the ranking, with Liverpool second and Manchester third overall. But when population is taken into account Liverpool tops the list with more than 35 online mentions per person per year, more than double Edinburgh and London.
Removing all mentions of football related to Liverpool positions the city in third place between Cambridge and Edinburgh.
Aberdeen is cited along with Coventry, Nottingham and Belfast as cities that have the most potential to grow their digital profile.
The report says that global rankings “highlights these as the cities we should pay attention to, but this doesn’t necessarily translate to the digital world, where these cities attract fewer mentions than their peers.”
Leanne Tritton, managing director of ING Media, said: “UK cities are investing heavily into building brands that reflect their attractiveness as cultural, business and education centres.
“Measuring their digital visibility provides a clearer insight into how these cities and towns perform as brands compared to their peers.
“London dominates but, surprisingly, Liverpool punches well above its weight, coming second overall and topping the table when weighted for population.”
Peter Griffiths, city strategist at ING Media, said: “Global surveys benchmark cities and major towns against almost every aspect of urban life.
“These rankings influence investment, where talent concentrates and our travel choices.However, there is little comparative research into the impact digital messaging is having on cities as brands.”

Carlana Mezzalira Pentimalli New Brixen Civic Library
“ This is not a library intended as a large container of books – quite the opposite. It is a project deeply rooted in its context, designed to welcome and generate human relationships and exchanges, intertwining cultures, practices and people of different ages,” is how architects Michel Carlana, Luca Mezzalira and Curzio Pentimalli describe their New Brixen Civic Library.
Only minutes away from the cathedral in the historic centre of the oldest city in the Tyrol, Carlana Mezzalira Pentimalli architectural practice restored and annexed a number of existing buildings and built a new volume to create a unitary complex housing the Civic Library and its precious collections while reinforcing local cultural identity and instilling a strong sense of social cohesion in the community.
The project is located to the south of the former courthouse, occupying an empty space created by the demolition of a building owned by the diocese, extending to include the former finance buildings, the first two floors of the former courthouse and, lastly, a part of the ground floor and first floor of the former prison, and also redefines a number of outdoor spaces. In this rich, dense urban fabric, the newly built volume provides a link ideally taking the form of a tree with its branches resting on the existing buildings. The slight slopes incorporated in this solution overcome the differences in level between the existing buildings to connect their interiors. Inspired by the vision of a tree, the architects name the project “Kulturbaum, the tree of culture” and apply the same analogy to the building’s laying, working around the idea of a “cortex”. As the library had to be a flexible contemporary space, easily adaptable to future requirements, the architects created a double shell around its perimeter, between the outer walls of concrete and the wooden panelling that covers the interiors. This space contains all the service spaces, from the toilets to the vertical links and all the furniture required by the library, such as bookshelves, benches, tables, and so on.
The most striking feature of the complex when seen from the outside is the clean, pared-down lines of the new construction, which connects with the existing buildings around it to create the profound symbiosis between old and new that characterises the project. This result is achieved by taking great care with every little detail, designing and planning very view to govern the great geometric and volumetric complexity of the new Civic Library and establishing a close relationship between the building and its context.

Kaustubh Kulkarni Mumbai
GLAXOSMITHKLINE (GSK) plans to spend more than $1 billion (R8.86bn) to raise stakes in its Indian and Nigerian consumer health-care arms, as Britain’s biggest medicine maker deepens its footprint in emerging markets and in non-prescription consumer health.
The deals are the latest of several by GSK, which is reducing its reliance on traditional regulated markets in Western economies, where sales are slowing.
GSK said yesterday that it would buy up to an additional 31.8 percent stake in India’s GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare for about $940 million by paying 3 900 rupees (R620) a share in an open offer, a premium of 28 percent to the stock’s Friday close.
On similar lines, GSK said it was planning to raise the stake in its Nigerian consumer products unit to 80 percent from 46.4 percent now in a $98m deal.
After the offer, GSK’s stake in the Indian consumer products arm will increase to 75 percent from 43.2 percent.
“The offer shows their commitment to India business,” said Daljeet Kohli, the head of research at brokerage IndiaNivesh in Mumbai.
“Also, having 75 percent control is as good as having full control. You can take any decision or pass any resolution you want,” he added.
Under Indian regulations, controlling shareholders can own up to a maximum 75 percent in a listed company and are not obliged to make an offer for the remaining 25 percent, which has to be in public hands for the company to remain listed. GSK said it did not plan to de-list the Indian unit.
GSK Consumer Healthcare shares jumped 20 percent, to a record high in Mumbai on the move by the UK parent.
GSK said the Indian and Nigerian transactions would be funded through existing cash resources and would not affect expectations for the group’s long-term share buy-back programme.
The Indian transaction, for which the offer period would begin in January, would be earnings neutral for the first year and boost earnings thereafter, it added.
The Indian arm also sells popular brands such as health drink Horlicks, malt-based drink Boost and multi-vitamin drink VitaHealth, which is marketed to women. It also markets over-the-counter medicines such as paracetamol tablet Crocin, pain killer gel Iodex and acidity reliever Eno.
Tough market conditions in Europe have hampered GSK’s hopes for a return to sales growth this year, although the company’s growing business in emerging markets and its large consumer healthcare operation are both doing well.
In India, for example, sales of the consumer unit’s flagship Horlicks beverage brand stood at £270m (R3.8bn) in the year to December last year, contributing nearly 75 percent of its total revenues.
“A lot of the current business of Horlicks is in the south and the east of India. So there is still a great opportunity to increase the penetration to the north and the west,” GSK chief strategy officer David Redfern said yesterday. – Reuters
