If the budding chemistry between EJ Manuel and Robert Woods blossoms into something beautiful for the Buffalo Bills, they can give part of the thanks to ... the New York Jets.
It was on a pre-draft visit to the Bills’ AFC East rivals that Manuel and Woods initially bonded.
“We were able to hang out pretty much the whole day or two days,” Manuel said. “It’s just crazy that we ended up on the same team, so instantly we texted each other and we were happy about it.”
Woods said he and Manuel spent plenty of time on that New York visit comparing their two collegiate programs, USC and Florida State. They’re in the same playbook now, and wasted very little time showing it.
Woods was a favorite target of Manuel during the team’s recent rookie minicamp.
“He always seemed to be open and ran great routes,” Manuel said of Woods after one of the practices. “You want to get the playmakers the ball.”
There weren’t many receivers in the draft with as much playmaking ability as Woods. His 32 career receiving touchdowns were the most of any wideout drafted in the first two rounds last month – and Woods left school a year early.
“I definitely weighed my options and figured this was the best decision for me,” he said of leaving school early, adding his decision was not influenced by the fact quarterback Matt Barkley graduated. “I’m pretty confident with our quarterbacks we have there, Max Wittek and Cody Kessler. It had nothing to do with the quarterback. I felt confident in both. It was the best decision for me and my family. They always say this doesn’t last forever, so I might as well get it while I can. I can still do school at the same time.”
Woods, who became the seventh of the Bills’ eight draft picks to sign his rookie contract Monday, has two semesters left in his pursuit of a degree in policies, planning and development. His four-year contract is expected to be worth about $4.8 million.
He missed last week’s organized team activities as USC’s class did not graduate until Friday, but was back Monday for his first workout with the full team.
“It felt good to be back on the field, but it was a lot more fast-paced on the field with the vets than it was at rookie camp,” Woods told the team’s official website, buffalobills.com, after the practice. “No huddle, a lot of fast-paced offense, conditioning and everything. ... It’s fun to be with the guys again.”
Woods is penciled in as the team’s No. 2 receiver behind established veteran Stevie Johnson.
“I do have a great opportunity, but I know these guys who have been here are not going to let it come easy,” Woods said. “There’s three to four receiver positions, one is pretty much locked up. Right now it’s just competing. We’re all competing for that same two or three spots.”
Woods bring a polished reputation into the NFL.
He started each of his 38 games for the Trojans and set a program record with 252 catches for 2,930 yards – sixth most in school history – and eclipsed 100 receiving yards in 10 games.
He’s quick to point out, however, that all that production doesn’t amount to anything now that he’s collecting a paycheck for playing.
“That’s at the college level. This is a new start, new beginning, but I’m trying to bring that with me, translate it to this level and compete against the top guys here,” he said.
Rookie receivers traditionally have a difficult time adjusting to the NFL level compared to other rookies, but Woods is hoping to buck that trend.
“It’s all up to the receiver, I would say. I’m fortunate to come from an offense where it’s quite similar,” he said. “I think that helps me play fast and adapt to the whole offense and really be more comfortable in this system.”
Woods certainly sets the bar high when modeling his game after those who have come before him – naming Jerry Rice and Reggie Wayne as his role models.
“My past coaches were in Oakland and in contact with Jerry somehow so they all have a lot of his film, which is fortunate for me because I got to see how he works. So I try and put that in my game,” he said.
Free agent running back Montell Owens visited practice Monday.
A two-time Pro Bowl selection as a special teams player with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Owens started four games last season in place of the injured Maurice Jones-Drew.
The eight-year veteran had 209 yards and a touchdown on 42 carries in 2012 after getting just 18 touches in his first six years.
Owens made the Pro Bowl in 2010 and 2011 and holds the Jags’ record for special teams tackles (118).

Chilly Gun Deer Hunt Opener
Most of the weather talk through late spring, summer and so far this fall has been around warmer than normal temps. As we eye our next weather maker, we'll go from near record highs Thursday, to continued mild, but windy weather with a few showers on Friday, and then turning sharply colder as the hunters take to the woods for the opening of the gun deer hunt season this weekend.
Here's the set up:
An approaching area of low pressure will push a warm front north across the viewing area on Thursday. This will bring breezy conditions but also, near record warmth! The record high for Thursday is 69° set back in 1999. Our forecast calls for a high of 67° so we'll be close and on record high watch. As this system then gets closer to Wisconsin we'll see the chance for a few light rain showers as the cold front swings over our area. But what you're probably noticing in the above picture is all the snow on the back side of that low. And here's where the snow may pile up:
You can see Blizzard watches in the green and a Winter Storm Watch in the blue. That's where the swath of heavy snow will fall. But we will still feel some impacts. In addition to the near record warmth, lots of wind can be expected the next three days. A southerly flow will continue on Friday and provide for another mild, albeit windy day in the lower 60s, along with the chance for a few rain showers. As this system continues to track northeast we'll begin to feel the temperature plunge heading into the weekend. Temperatures will barely reach the low 40s on Saturday and the wind will turn northwest and stay quite brisk. This could pull down some wind swept flurries for our area and possibly a slushy couple of inches across northwest Wisconsin.
Here's the forecast for Saturday:
Of course the hunters would love a snow pack to help track the deer, but the wind may also play a roll in keeping deer hunkered down. Any way you slice it, it will finally feel like hunting weather! Stay safe and enjoy the woods this weekend!
I'm meteorologist Rebecca Schuld

By Annie Grayer, Ryan Nobles and Zachary Cohen, CNN
The House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol is taking the extraordinary step of sending subpoenas to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and four other Republican lawmakers who have rejected the panel’s requests to voluntarily cooperate.
In addition to McCarthy, the Democrat-led panel is subpoenaing Republican Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio, Mo Brooks of Alabama, Andy Biggs of Arizona and Scott Perry of Pennsylvania.
Lawmakers on the panel have been weighing whether to subpoena their Republican colleagues for months, wrestling with whether they had the constitutional right to do so, and debating if they wanted to set such a precedent.
And with hearings less than a month away, the panel is facing a ticking clock to get all the information it can.
“The Select Committee has learned that several of our colleagues have information relevant to our investigation into the attack on January 6th and the events leading up to it,” the panel’s chairman, Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, said in a statement. “Before we hold our hearings next month, we wished to provide members the opportunity to discuss these matters with the committee voluntarily.”
“Regrettably, the individuals receiving subpoenas today have refused and we’re forced to take this step to help ensure the committee uncovers facts concerning January 6th,” he continued. “We urge our colleagues to comply with the law, do their patriotic duty, and cooperate with our investigation as hundreds of other witnesses have done.”
The committee has scheduled the depositions for the members of Congress for the end of May.
CNN has reached out to the five congressmen for comment.
McCarthy would not say whether he plans to comply with a subpoena to appear before the committee, saying he hadn’t seen it yet, although he later clarified that his attorney had received it. But he said he still views the committee as illegitimate.
“My view on the committee has not changed,” McCarthy said. “They’re not conducting a legitimate investigation. They just want to go after their political opponents,” he told reporters. “But the one thing that has changed in America: higher inflation … unsecure border, gas prices and now we don’t have baby formula.”
Perry would not answer when asked if he would comply with the subpoena.
“This is all for headlines and sensationalism,” Perry told CNN. “The fact that they sent it to the press before they send it to the members is just proof it’s all about headlines. This whole thing is a charade.”
Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California, a member of the committee, said the panel weighed whether to issue subpoenas and what to do if witnesses don’t comply.
“This has been something to consider as we approach the end of the interview and deposition process,” Schiff said. “We have resolved what we’re going to do. So, we’re moving forward. … It was more of a process of sequencing to get a good decision than it was any kind of division among members.”
In its initial letter to McCarthy in January, the panel made clear it wanted to question him about his communications with former President Donald Trump, White House staff and others in the week after the January 6 attack, “particularly regarding President Trump’s state of mind at that time.”
The committee also wanted to understand how McCarthy’s public comments since the attack had changed from critical to in defense of Trump over time, and questioned whether Trump pressured him to change his tone when the pair met in late January 2021.
Since the panel’s letter to McCarthy, new audio revealed that in the days following the January 6 insurrection, the minority leader had considered asking Trump to resign. Audio has also exposed that McCarthy told Republican lawmakers on a private conference call that Trump had admitted bearing some responsibility for the deadly attack.
The panel first reached out to Jordan, one of Trump’s staunchest allies on Capitol Hill, in December to learn more about communications he had with Trump on January 6, and with Trump allies who were stationed in the Willard Hotel war room in the days leading up to the attack.
Jordan and Trump spoke on the phone in the morning of January 6, 2021, while Trump was in the White House residence, White House call records in the panel’s possession, first reported by CNN, showed. Since Jordan first acknowledged that he spoke to Trump on the phone that day, the Ohio Republican and Trump loyalist has waved off questions about it or have been inconsistent in his answers.
Jordan has also previously been identified as one of the lawmakers who sent a text message to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows that the committee has in its possession. The message that Jordan forwarded to Meadows on January 5, 2021, outlined a legal theory that then-Vice President Mike Pence had the authority to stand in the way of the certification of the 2020 election.
Jordan was selected by McCarthy back in July to be one of five GOP members on the January 6 committee, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected McCarthy’s selection of Jordan, along with GOP Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana, because she said their appointments could impact the “integrity of the investigation.” Pelosi’s decision led McCarthy to pull all five of his members, which further soured the willingness between the two parties to work together, and led Pelosi to select GOP Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois to serve on the panel.
Perry was the first lawmaker the committee sought voluntary cooperation from because of the key role he played in trying to help Trump undermine the 2020 election. Text messages obtained by CNN that came out after the panel’s initial letter, have filled in significant gaps about the role Perry played at almost every turn in scheming to reverse or delay certification of the 2020 election.
Text messages selectively provided by Meadows to the committee, show that Perry was pushing to have the nation’s top intelligence official investigate baseless conspiracy theories and worked to replace the US acting attorney general with an acolyte willing to do Trump’s bidding.
“From an Intel friend: DNI needs to task NSA to immediately seize and begin looking for international comms related to Dominion,” Perry wrote to Meadows on November 12, 2020, just five days after the election was called for Joe Biden.
In the text, which had not been previously reported, Perry appeared to be urging Meadows to get John Ratcliffe, then-Director of National Intelligence, to order the National Security Agency to investigate debunked claims that Dominion voting machines were hacked by China.
A recent court filing also revealed how Perry played a key role in strategizing with Trump allies about throwing out electoral votes in states Trump lost.
In testimony released in April, former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson told House investigators about Perry’s role in White House strategy sessions.
“Mr. Perry is one that immediately jumps to mind as me recalling him physically being there and then pushing back,” Hutchinson said, describing how the Pennsylvania Republican clashed with Trump’s White House counsel over whether the plan for states to submit alternate slate of electors was legally sound.
A text from November 21, 2020, shows that Meadows even went through Perry in order to get in touch with local lawmakers in his state.
“Can you send me the number for the speaker and the leader of PA Legislature. POTUS wants to chat with them,” Meadows wrote to Perry.
The texts also show that Perry acted as a conduit between Meadows and Justice Department attorney Jeffrey Clark, a relatively obscure official who emerged as a central figure in Trump’s election gambit after the former President nearly named him as acting attorney general days before the US Capitol riot.
The messages draw a direct link between Perry, Clark and the Trump White House-led effort to enlist the Justice Department to help overturn the election.
Last year, the Senate singled out Perry for his role in promoting Trump’s election fraud conspiracies.
Text messages in the panel’s possession reveal that Perry texted Meadows multiple times to request the conversation move to the encrypted messaging app Signal or to alert Meadows to a message he sent on the encrypted platform.
Such a move could put the exchange out of the committee’s reach because Signal does not collect or save user data, making it more difficult to provide that information to outside entities, including law enforcement and congressional investigators, even under subpoena.
Andy Biggs and Mo Brooks
The panel reached out to Biggs earlier this month to discuss his participation in planning meetings at the White House and remotely regarding “various aspects of planning for January 6th.”
When seeking Biggs’ voluntary cooperation, the committee said it wanted to understand “precisely” what he knew before the violence on January 6, “about the purposes, planning, and expectations for the march on the Capitol.”
Biggs also was communicating with Meadows about efforts to persuade state legislators that the 2020 election was stolen, and sought their help in trying to overturn the election, according to the communications in the committee’s possession.
Brooks caught the committee’s attention after he revealed that Trump had repeatedly asked him to work to rescind the 2020 election and remove Biden from office.

The DML team recently completed the Royal New Zealand Boating Education In Water Survival Course for small boat operations. Apart from getting very wet they all got to experience what it was like to be in the water in full PPE and still trying to stay afloat. Being winter, the course was held in a nice warm swimming pool which made the wet drills somewhat enjoyable. Everyone and learnt the pros and cons of flotation devices, swimming with life jackets while fully clothed, minimising heat loss in water and the use of survival equipment for near shore operations.

I have been blessed with my job experiences in that I have learned to create my own role, create my own tasks and make my unique skills of use to others. I study human rights and conflict studies but I have an innate passion for numbers and some graphic making competencies. What I learned through my different work experiences is that people generally are not too great with visualizing data and that my skillset is actually really useful and helpful for just about any organization and especially ones that deal with the public and have to distill information. Knowing this after the first couple days passed and I wasn’t given any work I decided to show my superviser some of things I’ve done so he could make use of my graphic design abilities. This then opened a new horizon, giving me work to do, a freedom with my work as my expertise was trusted and proven and work that I genuinely like to do and helps me strengthen my portfolio.
While I understand my situation is a little unique because my skills are a little unique you never know what will be of use to someone and so for those who are finding it hard to get into the flow of work and who don’t really have work to do, try and talk to your supervisor(s) and show them your skills and interests. That way they can find something that’s tailored to you and so you feel of use at your work place.
I have attached one of the graphics I have done. It is a map of Morocco divided by the 12 regions of Morocco that outlines the election observation committee’s observation capacity. The colors represent the percentage of the regions that have observers, the size of the people represent the number of observers and then there are the names of the observer supervisors under the region names. This is only one out 49 different maps I have done since I’ve gotten here.

What role do measurements play in analyzing evidence? It’s actually pretty significant, but accuracy is key. When forensic laboratories use tools such as instruments, microscopes or DNA profiling kits it’s important to have physical standards.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology develops standard reference materials (SRMS) to help labs calibrate their analytical instruments. In September 2018, NIST released updated versions of two SRMS.
The Standard Bullet
Every bullet fired from a gun leaves unique markings. If a bullet is recovered at a crime scene, investigators can test-fire a suspect’s weapon to compare these bullet signatures.
A standard bullet is not real, but it looks like a typical bullet you’d see fired from a gun. Each standard bullet contains those markings called striations, simulating the impressions left by a gun.
Firearms examiners are able to use the standard bullet with advanced microscope technology to measure the striations on the NIST standard bullet. This helps test the instrument’s calibration and analysts can compare results to NIST data. A new manufacturing method has led to a more cost effective standard bullet, allowing access to more laboratories.
In a news release, the NIST the physical scientist who led the project stated, “This is one way to catch problems quickly. That way you can diagnose and fix the problem before doing additional casework.”
CSAFE not only owns a standard bullet, but our team’s firearm and ballistic research is leading to new technologies for bullet matching and cartridge case comparison. Find CSAFE tools for analyzing bullet lands or comparing cartridge case images on our resource page. CSAFE Director Dr. Alicia Carriquiry also recently contributed to an article highlighting the need for consistent standards in the firearms examination field.
Human DNA Quantitation
NIST also released a new SRM for Human DNA analysis. While the CSAFE team does not research human DNA, we partner with organizations such as the Innocence Project who work with this type of evidence.
If investigators discover blood or other biological evidence at a crime scene, analysts can extract DNA to create a profile to compare suspects. Accuracy relies on an analyst knowing how much DNA is in the extract prior to processing. NIST’s new standard for creating suspect DNA profiles assists with calibration for this type of measurement.
Learn more about other types of SRMs manufactured by NIST to ensure reliability of scientific evidence. Find additional information on NIST work and its partnership with CSAFE in our January 2018 blog post.

“Akademik” (“Dorm”) is a comedy series about students who live in a coeducational dorm. Three boys – Zdzich, Roger, and Michal are accommodated at the same place as three attractive girls – Weronika, Lena and Andżelika. The confrontation of several completely different characters will result in truly explosive situations. The crew will have to learn how to live with each other. They will be getting into fights, but at the same time, they will enjoy each other’s company. They will go through ups and downs of love together, they will support one another in times of need, and they will come up with the craziest pranks and jokes.
The adventures of the group are a mixture of real-life problems with comic events which they more often than not provoke themselves. The residents of the dorm are looking for real love which turns out to be just around the corner, or rather in the room next door. Some of them will be lucky enough to find their other half, and others will keep searching for happiness while sharing their hopes and fears with their roommates. The series stars many new generation actors and actresses, as well as well-known performers, such as Dariusz Kordek and Rafał Rutkowski.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (KABC) -- Ahead of the upcoming Taylor Swift concert series at SoFi Stadium, throngs of fans lined up by the thousands overnight in anticipation of a merchandise sale in Inglewood.
The pre-event merchandise stand opened for business at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Lake Park, adjacent to the stadium that will begin hosting Swift's Eras Tour on Thursday night. Fans started lining up around 8 p.m. Tuesday, and more than 3,000 people were estimated to be in line for the sale.
Among the Swifties who were on hand were Huntington Beach residents Mia and Audrey, both sporting the signature Taylor Swift friendship bracelets, which fans have been making and trading in reference to a line in the song "You're on Your Own, Kid."
Why did Mia and Audrey wait in line for hours? They were hoping to score the "exclusive" blue Eras Tour crewneck sweatshirt, which is only available for purchase at the merchandise truck.
"You can't get it also at the stadium, like during the shows. You can only get it at the merch trucks."
Pre-event sales at the stand are scheduled to continue until 7 p.m. Wednesday, resuming Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. On all other concert days from Aug. 3 through Aug. 9, exterior merchandise stands at SoFi Stadium will open at noon, with additional locations inside the venue when gates open.
Parking for early merchandise shoppers can be accessed via Century Boulevard and Yukon Avenue. Overnight parking is not permitted at SoFi Stadium.
Swift's Inglewood shows will wrap up the U.S. leg of the tour, her first in five years. She will then take her tour international, beginning with a show in Mexico City on Aug. 24.

I would like to assume you can, as long as it’s clearly spelt out in the change narrative. However, it’s part of an Accepted Programme that should not have been accepted as it did not reflect the contractors plans accurately.


Set to storm South African television screens on 1 February, the new Hyundai Getz ad is an action adventure sequel to the first campaign (which featured a young woman refusing to give her Getz to two burly policemen hot in pursuit of a criminal).
The second ad picks up where the first left off - the same criminal mastermind demands a new Hyundai Getz as his getaway vehicle whilst holding a group of civilians hostage.
Desperate to find one of these vehicles, the police send two cops chasing through the streets of Cape Town - cleverly disguised as a traffic razzled LA. Action scenes, the likes of which are sure to have South African audiences glued to their seats - and sprinting for the nearest Getz, are used to display the new model's cheeky qualities.
Conjured up by The Jupiter Drawing Room Cape Town and directed by Lourens Van Rensburg, the ad is a mind-blowing montage of car chases and crashes that had stunt men and the production crew pulling their hair out over the logistical arrogance of the shoot.
"The first ad was immensely successful," says Kevan Aspoas, Managing Director of Jupiter Cape Town. "In the true vein of any sequel, the follow up has to be bigger, better and even bolder, and I really believe that with this latest gutsy television offering, we have surpassed any expectations."
"A great advantage when embarking on such a venture," says Aspoas, "is for the client to allow the creatives some room to manoeuvre. We have been very fortunate in that respect. Hyundai has allowed us to think big and act big - whilst still covering the retail element of the ad."


By Harry Mottram: Reports that contractors were at the former Axbridge Court Nursing Home have reminded residents of some of the huge changes that have taken place in the town in recent years. Beginning with the closure of the railway in 1963 and its conversion to the bypass for the A371 it has been seen as a curse and a blessing. Received wisdom today amongst most observers is the Beeching Cuts that closed branch lines was industrial vandalism since they devastated numerous rural economies and failed to see the future of traffic congestion and the huge demand for passenger rail services. On the other hand, it freed up the town of traffic and led to the creation of the Axbridge Pageant.
Another huge change was the axing of the Axbridge Rural District Council based in the town in 1974 by the Conservative administration of Edward Heath with the Local Government Act of 1972. The old council had been formed in 1894 and administered services in a wide area that included Banwell, Churchill, Blagdon, Wedmore and Congresbury providing employment in the council offices in Axbridge and continuing the town’s long history of being a key centre in Somerset. Axbridge Town Council was the successor authority in the town and continues today as an important administrator of services – increasingly so since the demise of Sedgemoor – as it looks after a number of aspects of the town from the footpaths and Furlong Field to the car parks and public toilets, and grit bins to the allotments and more besides. See https://axbridge-tc.gov.uk/council-services/
Older residents will know that Peelers Court in Moorland Road once housed the local police – when the town was the centre of law enforcement complete with a Magistrates court in St Mary’s Street and later the Town Hall – both long gone along with the jobs they created. And the town as late as the 1960s was also one of Somerset’s largest meat processing centres with what is now Butcher’s Yard in Meadow Street housing even in the 1990s freezers and storage areas for meat – the slaughterhouse in the High Street a distant memory by then. It goes without saying that along with the last butcher in the High Street, Axbridge has lost most of its shops and indeed pubs since the turn of the century – a sad loss – but inevitable with the rise of the supermarkets and now online shopping.
Those new to the town may not be aware of another huge institution that dominated in more ways than one the town. The towering building of the Axbridge Union Workhouse off Houlgate Way is now flats – it had been converted with the social reforms of the 1930s to a geriatric hospital but finally closed in the 1980s and was converted into flats. St John’s Court was built in 1837 and housed 250 inmates – a collection of the poor, destitute, unwell, mentally ill, alcoholics and entire families – somewhat different in wealth terms to today’s tenants.
Axbridge Court Nursing Home has now closed but administrators of Almondsbury Care Limited who leased the building (and also owned three other care homes) after going bust owing hundreds of thousands of pounds in 2022 are as I understand still sorting out the accounts. A creditors meeting was held in the summer of 2023 with the administrators who are Turpin Barker Armstrong apparently still investigating the accounts before a final resolution takes place. The owners of the building will no doubt be considering their options now it it vacant. The staff were made redundant, and the residents moved leaving something of a social hole in the town as many people had links to the home. Likewise, the closure of St Michael’s Cheshire Home – now on the market – was another blow to the town due to the many jobs it created, orders for suppliers and a social dimension as many residents had friends and residents there. The Gothic Revival mansion was built in 1878 and was a convalescent home, a tuberculosis hospital and a care home for those with physical disabilities in its time – with a paupers graveyard in the grounds. Now the place is closed but you can rent a flat there in the meantime while a buyer or developer is found. Whether Covid had an affect on the fortunes of the nursing homes is open to conjecture but certainly with the hike in energy prices, heating large rambling Victorian buildings as required for care homes would have been a factor in their closure.
The housing development off Houlgate Way – stopped over the winter but now again under way has caused considerable anger amongst many residents since it is outside of the town boundary and opposed by the town council. Developers Bellway paused the work in the winter but have restarted plans to build 53 homes between Townsend Farm and Axbridge Surgery. It is a major development for the town – and will see more patients for the surgery and pupils for the school – plus trade for the shops and pubs. The development off Cheddar Road in Mendip View Gardens didn’t generate the same opposition – partly due to the numbers of affordable homes built and due to its support from Axbridge Town Council and local authorities. It was also seen as a fill-in development rather than purely as a green field one.
The building of the reservoir, the loss of the strawberry market, the ending of the two dairy farms at either end of the town and umpteen other changes for good or ill – everything changes and moves on. The one thing to keep in mind is that every new home built in the town has seen the nature of Axbridge change. From Knightstone Close to Hippersley Drive and from Stars Close to Farthing Combe there have been questions raised – but even King John’s Hunting Lodge must have seen someone question its construction. Do we really need another high rise Tudor building when we have these lovely wattle and daub medieval homes already – may have been asked.

Even though I didn’t specifically make a resolution to eat healthier, instead choosing the word JOY, I am focusing more on healthy eating. The Food Matters Cookbook: 500 Revolutionary Recipes for Better Livingfrom Mark Bittman, makes that focus oh sooo easy. I’ve already reviewed it here, so I won’t go into it again. But I love the use of small quantities of meat, because I could never, ever be a vegetarian, but I can go lightly on the meat.
This recipe is a prime example. Just 8 ounces of ground lamb, mixed with all sorts of goodies like chickpeas and green beans, makes a wonderful dinner. The flavors were spot on. The only thing is that I needed a little extra time to get everything nice and crispy, and it never really did get as crispy as I wanted (and I think it was supposed to be).
Crisp and Spicy Roasted Chickpeas with Lamb
- 2 cups cooked or canned chickpeas, drained
- 3 Tbl olive oil
- salt and black pepper
- 8 oz ground lamb
- 1 red onion
- 8 oz green beans, roughly chopped
- 1 Tbl minced garlic
- Grated Zest of 1 orange
- 1 Tbl cumin
- Cayenne to taste
- Juice of 2 oranges
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Preheat oven to 400F. Combine the chickpeas and 2 Tbl of the oil in a large roasting pan and bake, stirring them once or twice until they are crisp and browned, about 15 – 20 minutes (mine took longer). Sprinkle with salt and pepper and remove from the pan with a slotted spoon.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan along with the lamb. Break it up a bit and roast until it is no longer pink and has cooked dry, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir, and continue to break it up until it is crispy, another 5 minutes. (again, this wasn’t enough time for mine to get crispy).
Stir the onion, green beans, garlic, orange zest, cumin, and cayenne into the lamb; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return the roasting pan to the oven and continue roasting until the vegetables are tender and browned, the lamb is very crisp, and the spices are fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, stir in the chickpeas, and transfer everything to a serving dish.
Put the roasting pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Add the orange juice and cook, stirring and scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan, until warm and slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Drizzle this over the chickpea mixture and garnish with parsley to serve.

text: Read the passage.Would you rather eat a whole food or a processed food? Which kind of food is healthier for you? Whole foods include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dairy, eggs, meat, and fish. Whole foods are products of nature. They come to consumers in their natural state such as an apple or a banana. Processed foods are the product of a manufacturing plant. They come to consumers in different shapes and flavors such as sweetened applesauce in a squeeze pouch. Cereals, white bread, sandwich meat, cookies, frozen meals, as well as chips and crackers are all processed foods.Whole foods are healthier than processed foods. When foods are processed, they lose many of their nutrients and health benefits. Whole foods are unchanged. Nothing is added or taken away to change the whole food's nutrients. Processed foods have been changed using chemicals. They are made from processed ingredients and artificial substances. Food loses many nutrients during processing, so chemically formed nutrients are added. These foods are often high in sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats and low in nutritional value.Processed foods can have serious effects on our health. They can cause diabetes and heart disease. They are even cited as a cause of obesity. Eating more processed foods means getting less real vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, and nutrients. We need these elements, which are found in whole foods, to be healthy. Diets high in fiber promote healthy digestion. While diets high in antioxidants can help prevent cancer, diets high in vitamins and minerals can help our minds and bodies stay healthy and strong.Choose whole foods to choose health. If it comes in a bag or a box, it is probably processed, which means it is lacking the important nutrients that our bodies need.Which detail is too minor to be included in a summary of this article? Processed foods have serious effects on our health. Food loses many nutrients during processing. Diets high in fiber promote healthy digestion. They can cause diabetes and heart disease.

The visibility of conventional transmission electron microscopy (CTEM) images of small crystalline defects generated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is investigated. Faulted interstitial dislocation loops in Al smaller than 2 nm in diameter and stacking fault tetrahedra (SFT) in Cu smaller than 4 nm in side are assessed. A recent approach allowing to simulate the CTEM images of computer generated samples described by their atomic positions is applied to obtain bright field and weak beam images. For the dislocation loop-like cluster it appears that the simulated image is comparable to experimental images. The contrast of the g(3.1g) near weak beam image decreases with decreasing size of the cluster but is still 20% of the background intensity for a 2 interstitial cluster. This indicates a visibility at the limit of the experimental background noise. In addition, the cluster image size, which is here always larger than the real size, saturates at about 1 nm when the cluster real size decreases below 1 nm, which corresponds to a cluster of 8 interstitials. For the SFT in Cu the g(6.1g) weak beam image is comparable to experimental images. It appears that the image size is larger than the real size by 20%. A large loss of the contrast features that allows to identify an SFT is observed on the image of the smallest SFT (21 vacancies). (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Gia is a well-made HBO biopic featuring good actors like Angelina Jolie, Elizabeth Mitchell, and Faye Dunaway but although it has everything going for it, it fails to really interest the viewer. Granted, the world of fashion is superficial but does a movie about one of its most famous models need to be as superficial. In the end, Gia is, a little too superficial.
Although you are supposedly getting info from those close to Gia like her mother, her childhood friend, her girlfriend, what they tell you only serves the movie and not the story itself. You finally know little about Gia aside from the fact she was a model, had a drug problem, and people were always leaving her or telling her how strong she was or needed to be.
There is also the problem you never quite understand the main character. Angelina Jolie does a good job but considering the performance, so could have any other actress. To Jolie’s defense, there is little character there to develop or present. As if even after her death nobody could figure out Gia.
Had this movie been made a few years later when the modeling world lots its charm for many and anorexic models caused various governments to regulate the modeling industry to some degree, Gia might have been an indictment of the industry that sees women as pieces of fresh meat.
There is a scene where a woman in the detox center accuses the fashion industry of telling her how to look and so on but it is so clumsy and artificial you do not buy it.
Gia could have been so much better, and that is what really sticks with the viewer. As for the nudity, a lot of it is gratuitous but it is Angelina Jolie so who’s complaining?

Munch Biography Essay
Edvard Munch is regarded as a pioneer in the Expressionist movement in modern painting. At an early stage Munch was recognized in Germany and central Europe as one of the creators of a new movement in art. Munch and many artists of the time needed to express their feelings about all the change that was happening around.
Edvard Munch was born in Norway in 1863; he knew how a person’s emotional pain feels. He was the son of an Army Medical Corp doctor who brought patients at home all the time. His mother died when he was only five years of age. His oldest sister died of disease at the age of fifteen. Edvard himself was often ill. One of his youngest sisters was also diagnosed with a mental illness at an early age. With death and illness as a major factor in his life he turned that into his own work.
After a year at Technical school to study engineering, Munch became dedicated to his artwork. He left Technical school and entered into a school of design.
Sometime in 1886 he produced the painting titled The Sick Child. In this painting his thoughts of the death of his older sister were let out and they were rather haunting. Around this same year Munch finished a series of paintings title The Sick Child. In this same year when all this occurred another catastrophe happened in Munch’s life, the death of his father.
After having a one-man exhibition at Oslo, he managed to gain state scholarships, which enabled him to move to France. He had a way with French Impressionist techniques and while living in Paris he explored a way of painting that would focus on the art symbolism and expressing of emotions through applications of paint and certain techniques.
Munch had a series of paintings that were exhibited in a major art show in Berlin. The series was entitled The Frieze of Life, all six of these paintings caused such shock that the show was forced to shut down. Munch had so much feelings, passions, an

The boy was hit by the vehicle on Beckmans Rd near Noosaville State School just before 12.30pm on Friday.
Queensland Ambulance paramedic Shaun Bright said the boy showed signs of serious head injuries including bleeding from the ears and mouth.
The boy was intubated at the scene by paramedics before being airlifted to Lady Cilento Children's Hospital, where he remains in a critical but stable condition.

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with a fun card for our Bling It Out Challenge! I was super excited to play with my favorite set from the latest release, Holiday Helpers! These happy elves are just too cute. I combined it with Christmas Dreams to create little scene. The boy elf is taking a cocoa break while the girl elf is double-checking the nice list. Hopefully your name is on it! Haha! And of course, they needed a roaring fire, because it gets super cold at the North Pole!
I colored my images with Copics and trimmed them out with the matching dies, then layered them on the background made from patterned paper die cut with the Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I stamped my sentiment in Lobster ink and adhered this to a piece of red glitter cardstock die cut with the Zig Zag Rectangle Stackables. Then I glued the whole thing down to a kraft card base.
On the inside, I wanted to add a surprise element, so I used the Mini Pop Up Box and stuffed it with an additional elf and some extra toys. Super fun! I think this card would make anyone smile when they open it up!
To finish off the card, I stamped an additional sentiment on the inside in Walnut ink, and then added some Stickles to the outside to intensify the bling aspect for the challenge. If you’d like to see how it all came together, you can find the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty.
You still have another week to enter our Bling It Out Challenge! This is definitely one of my favorites, and I can’t wait to see what you create!
Have a fantastic weekend!

Page 73 - Edmund Palmer, an officer in the enemy's service, was taken as a spy lurking within our lines ; he has been tried as a spy, condemned as a spy, and shall be executed as a spy ; and the flag is ordered to depart immediately. " ISRAEL PUTNAM. " PS — He has, accordingly, been executed.
Page 204 - ... well, and a little green behind ; before every door a tree was planted, rendered interesting by being coeval with some beloved member of the family ; many of their trees were of a prodigious size and extraordinary beauty, but without regularity, every one planting the kind that best pleased him, or which he thought would afford the most agreeable shade to the open portico at his door, which was surrounded by seats, and ascended by a few steps. It was in these that each domestic group was seated...

Page 54 - Not far from this village, perhaps about two miles, there is a little valley or rather lap of land among high hills, which is one of the quietest places in the whole world. A small brook glides through it, with just murmur enough to lull one to repose ; and the occasional whistle of a quail or tapping of a woodpecker is almost the only sound that ever breaks in upon the uniform tranquillity.
Page 204 - Each family had a cow, fed in common pasture at the end of the town. In the evening they returned all together, of their own accord, with their tinkling bells hung at their necks, along the wide and grassy street, to their wonted sheltering trees, to be milked at their masters
Page 22 - Here was no specious, smiling surface, covering the dangerous sand-bar or perfidious rock ; but a stream deep as it was broad, and bearing with honorable faith the bark that trusted to its waves. I gloried in its simple, quiet, majestic, epic flow ; ever straightforward. Once indeed, it turns aside for a moment, forced from its course by opposing mountains ; but it struggles bravely through them, and immediately resumes its straightforward march. Behold...
Page 204 - This street was still wider than the other ; it was only paved on each side, the middle being occupied by public edifices. These consisted of a market-place, or guard-house, a town hall, and the English and Dutch churches. The English church, belonging to the Episcopal persuasion, and in the diocese of the bishop of London, stood at the foot of the hill, at the upper end of the street.

The world has entered the Second-Cold War. Defense pacts, infrastructural funding, media funding, dividing people; Yes, there could be more troubles ahead.
Beijing and Washington are commencing teams against each other. The latest is “AUKUS” – A trilateral agreement established by Australia, the United Kingdom, and the mighty United States on September 15th. A long spun Collaborators’ new defense pact is mattering, with the deals and – Elimination of Europe.
“Quad” – the association of Australia, India, Japan, and the United States, was formed as the group of superpowers in the Indo-Pacific region who hate and worry China and their “Wolf Warrior” diplomacy. But what is the point of AUKUS?The United States believes Australia has a vital position in the region, so why’s Britain in the pact?
One of the principal reasons for Brexit was the consciousness of Brits that they are sidelining from the international possibilities. Britishers feel they are commonizing in Europe led by France and Germany. After exiting the EU, the UK doesn’t get any attention in international groups as they had earlier. But by AUKUS, Britain was able to return to the Indo-Pacific again. AUKUS can’t be described as regional cooperation like Quad or an alliance like NATO, but it is an “Anglosphere’s Supremacy” covet.
In recent times there was a noticeable superiority drift between Europe and the United States. While Trump and Biden behave more aggressively toward China, Europe was more interested in their climate and jihadist issue. When there was a deadly clash between India and China and during China’s bullying in the South China sea, Europe acted less aggressively. Simultaneously, the United States doesn’t enrage Russia with Europe, the performance of NATO was even criticized by French President Macron as “Dead Brain”. Europe’s open criticism of Trump and his climate policies and their response towards Afghanistan and Syria issues cost their image. Surprisingly, France – the closest ally of the United States – acted more clearly than China. France has an extensive role in the Indo-Pacific as they have territories in the Pacific.
Britain In then Why France out? – Australia became the seventh nuclear submarine occupier after the US, UK, France, Russia, China, and India. When the Nuclear deal passed, Australia axed a $92 billion contract from France for diesel-powered submarines. Boris Johnson’s jokes infuriated issues; for the first time in history, France called their ambassadors back from the US, Australia and humiliated the UK by not calling the ambassador.
The Pacts Primarily aim at China. However, Biden announces more cooperation. Besides the military – cyber security, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing are some other goals. By this pact, Australia, the nation that doesn’t participate much in global balances, is getting involved with its English-speaking cousins. Even though problems with France de-escalated in the following weeks, this treaty authorized the drift between Europe and the US. Most importantly, Anglosphere presented their wish to grow more than the Commonwealth and CANZUK.

Translation as a Profession
Translation as a profession provides an in-depth analysis of the translating profession and the translation industry. The book starts with a presentation of the diversity of translations and an overview of the translation-localisation process. The second section describes the translation profession and the translators’ markets. The third section considers the process of ‘becoming’ a translator, from the moment people find out whether they have the required qualities to the moment when they set up shop or find a job, with special emphasis on how to find and hold on to clients, avoiding basic mistakes. The fourth section concentrates on the vital professional issues of costs, rates, deadlines, time to market, productivity, ethics, standards, qualification, certification, and professional recognition. The fifth section is devoted to the developments that have provoked ongoing changes in the profession and industry, such as ICT, and the impact of industrialisation, internationalisation, and globalisation. The final section is devoted to the major issues involved in translator training. A glossary is provided, together with a list of Websites for further browsing.
The Prevention of Cancer
Epidemiological studies show that cancer incidence is far more dependent on the conditions of life than previously supposed. Classically, cancers occurred with heavy exposure to a specific occupational hazard, or were associated with habits. In some instances, research shows, the incidence of cancer falls when the method of work or the associated habit is changed. In short, variation in incidence is now known to be the rule rather than the exception in cancer. No cancer that occurs with even moderate frequency, occurs everywhere and always to the same extent. Sometimes it is even epidemic, similar in scale to an epidemic of infectious disease, but modified by the fact that the induction period may be as much as thirty years. Prevention of cancer is now coming to be regarded as a practicable alternative to its cure. We remain almost totally ignorant of how cancer is produced at the cellular level and, until we know this, our methods of prevention are liable to be cumbersome and inefficient. Ethical considerations and the time scale of the disease make it impossible to obtain experimental evidence in man and what action to take has been determined from observing nature's experiments and by analogy from experiments in animals. The evidence from epidemiological studies is of particular interest. Such studies suggest relationships that would never be thought of in the ordinary course of laboratory work and results that are directly relevant to the problems of human disease. The large numbers at risk and the intensity of the medical care to which people with cancer are subjected, make it possible to recognize relatively small improvements. Such practical decisions, based on information thus obtained, have largely eliminated the risk of cancer due to occupational hazards in several industries. Richard Doll (1912-2005) was a British psychologist and one of the most prominent epidemiologists of the twentieth century. Throughout out his research he was able to link smoking with health problems and was the first individual to link smoking with lung cancer and increased risk of heart disease. He also studies the relationship between asbestos and lung cancer and radiation and leukemia. He is the author of many books, including The Causes of Cancer: Quantitative Estimates of Avoidable Risks of Cancer in the United States Today and Tobacco and Health.

A History of the Iraq Crisis
In March 2003, the United States and Great Britain invaded Iraq to put an end to the regime of Saddam Hussein. The war was launched without a United Nations mandate and was based on the erroneous claim that Iraq had retained weapons of mass destruction. France, under President Jacques Chirac and Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin, spectacularly opposed the United States and British invasion, leading a global coalition against the war that also included Germany and Russia. The diplomatic crisis leading up to the war shook both French and American perceptions of each other and revealed cracks in the transatlantic relationship that had been building since the end of the Cold War. Based on exclusive French archival sources and numerous interviews with former officials in both France and the United States, A History of the Iraq Crisis retraces the international exchange that culminated in the 2003 Iraq conflict. It shows how and why the Iraq crisis led to a confrontation between two longtime allies unprecedented since the time of Charles de Gaulle, and it exposes the deep and ongoing divisions within Europe, the Atlantic alliance, and the international community as a whole. The Franco-American narrative offers a unique prism through which the American road to war can be better understood.
The Plural Actor
The individual that the social sciences take as an object is most often studied in a particular context or from a single dimension. The actor is analysed as a student, worker, consumer, spouse, reader, sportsperson, a voter etc. However, in societies where individuals live often through simultaneously and successively heterogeneous and sometimes contradictory social experiences, each person inevitably carries a plurality of roles, ways of seeing, feeling and acting. The aim of this study is to consider the ways in which this plurality of worlds and experiences are incorporated into the being of each individual and to observe the individual's actions in a variety of settings. In addition to his sociological viewpoint, the author engages with psychology, history, anthropology and philosophy. His reflections lead him to embark on a program of psychological sociology to highlight the complexities of this plural view of the social.
Cities and Spaces of Leadership
Cities and Spaces of Leadership investigates the interaction between leadership, leaders and spaces at various levels. It analyzes how spaces and places influence leaders and leadership, as well as how the presence, distribution, action, and concentration of leaders in spaces contribute to their transformation.
Multilingualism Cultural Identity and Education in Morocco
In this book, I attempt to show how colonial and postcolonial political forces have endeavoured to reconstruct the national identity of Morocco, on the basis of cultural representations and ideological constructions closely related to nationalist and ethnolinguistic trends. I discuss how the issue of language is at the centre of the current cultural and political debates in Morocco. The present book is an investigation of the ramifications of multilingualism for language choice patterns and attitudes among Moroccans. More importantly, the book assesses the roles played by linguistic and cultural factors in the development and evolution of Moroccan society. It also focuses on the impact of multilingualism on cultural authenticity and national identity. Having been involved in research on language and culture for many years, I am particularly interested in linguistic and cultural assimilation or alienation, and under what conditions it takes place, especially today that more and more Moroccans speak French and are influenced by Western social behaviour more than ever before. In the process, I provide the reader with an updated description of the different facets of language use, language maintenance and shift, and language attitudes, focusing on the linguistic situation whose analysis is often blurred by emotional reactions, ideological discourses, political biases, simplistic assessments, and ethnolinguistic identities.

Neural Correlates of Psychosis and Gender Dysphoria in an Adult Male
- Additional Document Info
- View All
Gender dysphoria (GD) (DSM-5) or transsexualism (ICD-10) refers to the marked incongruity between the experience of one's gender and the sex at birth. In this case report, we describe the use of LSD as a triggering factor of confusion in the gender identity of a 39-year-old male patient, with symptoms of psychosis and 25 years of substance abuse, who sought psychiatric care with the desire to undergo sex reassignment surgery. The symptoms of GD/psychosis were resolved by two therapeutic measures: withdrawal of psychoactive substances and use of a low-dose antipsychotic. We discuss the hypothesis that the superior parietal cortical area may be an important locus for body image and that symptoms of GD may be related to variations underlying this brain region. Finally, this case report shows that some presentations of GD can be created by life experience in individuals who have underlying mental or, synonymously, neurophysiological abnormalities.

Fast Forward: Haverford High School's Graduation
Fast Forward is a new feature for the Haverford-Havertown Patch. Each week, we’ll take a slice of life in our community and put it on fast forward. We hope you’ll look for it every Thursday.
The subject of this Fast Forward is the Haverford High School's graduation procession.


Members of the public are being urged not to light fires to eradicate cow itch or rodents, but contact the relevant agencies for assistance.
This is coming from Minister of Home Affairs Wilfred Abrahams, who said the Barbados Fire Service was inundated last Friday as various crews battled ten fires, a record number, across the island.
Abrahams said the Ministry of Health, the district polyclinic or even the fire department could assist with these problems.
“We were very, very lucky last Friday because the sheer volume of fire and smoke was more than the Barbados Fire Service could handle. It was too much,” Abrahams said Sunday night while addressing his Christ Church East constituency branch meeting at St Christopher Primary School.
“Six schools had to shut. The smoke from St Philip went as far down as Bridgetown.”
He said not only did the smoke cause health concerns for those with asthma and other respiratory conditions, sinusitis and even vision, there was also the potential hazard to property.
“We were lucky ‘cause one derelict house burned; one derelict house,” Abrahams said.
“A fire can get out of control. If you have problems with cow itch in your area,” he said emphasising the point with his right index finger from the podium, “please contact the Ministry of Health or the polyclinic or even the Barbados Fire Service and give them the information and we will try to have that dealt with.
“Do not set fires that you cannot possibly control when they get out of hand. If you drive along the Highway, you will see the fires burnt around houses. Some people were real lucky, but quite equally, a lot of them places coulda burn.”
Chief Fire Officer Errol Maynard said their resources were stretched. With the exception of the Airport station, crews from Bridgetown, Arch Hall, St John and Worthing were pressed into action.
The fires included a number of tyres and acres of grass burning at Bushy Park, St Philip; grass at Callenders, Christ Church, and a derelict house in Golden Grove, St Philip. There were also blazes at Bannantyne, Christ Church, and in parts of St Michael, St John and St George.
St George Secondary, St George Primary School, Ellerton Primary School, Workman’s Primary School and Deighton Griffith Secondary all had to close after being affected by smoke. (SAT)
