All the best hangouts, in all the best cities, from the locals who know…
Northern California has always been one of my favorites places to visit. I sometimes catch myself daydreaming about living there one day, ever present in its lush nature and laid-back lifestyle. From the easy access to the Redwood Forest, Big Sur, the neighboring states of Washington and Oregon, there is no way you can not enjoy yourself in San Francisco, aka The Bay. Most of us associate the area with the Golden Gate Bridge, so we thought it only fitting to ask some of our favorite locals to dive deeper into the gold that The Bay has to offer. Read on to see why they call this place home…

Andytown Coffee Roasters — 3655 Lawton St & Newly 3629 Taraval St
This is our neighborhood coffee spot (and personally my favorite roaster in the city!) We even gave bags of their coffee away at our wedding last year. Their Wind and Sea roast is supreme but the way to go if you’re stopping in for a drink is the Snowy Plover: espresso over sparkling water, brown sugar simple syrup, milk of your choice and homemade whipped cream. Grab one and walk to Ocean Beach!
Judah St in the Outer Sunset — (AKA my neighborhood!)
We live in the Outer Sunset — the totally laid-back surf vibes neighborhood. This stretch of Judah has everything you could want: Judahlicious (raw vegan café), Other Avenues (neighborhood co-op), Outerlands (one of the best restaurants in the city!) Celias (family-owned Mexican Restaurant we frequent weekly), Judah St. Clinic (holistic chiropractor), Trouble Coffee (google the NPR podcast about this spot!), General Store (everyone’s favorite insta op) & Case for Making (rad curated craft shop). 1 block away on Irving is the best surf shop in the city — Mollusk!
Golden Gate Park — Urban park consisting of 1,017 acres
Did you know GGP is actually bigger than Central Park? Home to museums, botanical gardens, a Japanese teahouse, lakes, bison, dog parks (where we take our pups!) and TWO huge musical festivals that take place each year?! Outside Lands is the best kept festival secret — we can ride our bikes over for the day, and Karl (the fog) is like a natural smoke machine. Hardly Strictly is a FREE bluegrass and folk music festival every year in October!
20th Century Café — 198 Gough Street, San Francisco, CA 94102
The most quaint Russian café in one of my favorite neighborhoods (besides the Sunset), Hayes Valley. Pierogies along with several other lunch specialties are top notch, but the REAL treat is the Krasinki Torte AKA HONEY CAKE!
This is a biannually curated craft fair — no hokey pokey crafts in sight! It’s free, open to the public and pulls together the best of the best makers and doers to showcase their latest work (for purchase!) I never walk away empty-handed.

Conservatory of Flowers — 100 John F Kennedy Drive, San Francisco, CA 94118
One of the most profound architectural structures in the city—a total beauty inside and out. The conservatory is a must-see for any plant enthusiast or botanist in training looking for some inspiration. Exotic flowers and ceiling high palms fill the interior, and an indoor lily pad pond is home to several species of rare, colorful butterflies.
Wallflower — 1176 Valencia Street, San Francisco, CA 94110
My favorite vintage boutique in the city. This is where I first laid eyes on my 70’s suede Penny Lane coat—how we ever lived 40 years without each other is a total mystery. Wallflower boasts an amazing collection of dead-stock 70’s serigraphs, macrame decor, suede skirts, boho dresses, kaftans and kimonos. Also noteworthy is the jewelry from local makers in the Bay Area, as well as a consistent supply of modern brands such as Sugarhigh Lovestoned. This shop spins vinyl all day, a great place to bop while you shop.
Tantrum — 248 Clement Street, San Francisco, CA 94118
Yes, Tantrum is a children’s store. But it also sells playful, retro inspired gifts for all ages including prints, pins, patches, stationary and the cutest party supplies you could ever imagine. It is truly sunshine and rainbows inside this shop. Some of my favorite vintage kitchenware and home decor were found here. On my last visit, I left with a pair of 90’s inspired cherry hair pins, a watermelon necklace, and a set of all-seeing-eye temporary tattoos. The icing on top of the cake—the owners gave me a free set of clip-on pom pom’s for my roller skates!
101 Music — 1414 Grant Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94133
Organized chaos is the best way I can describe 101 Music in North Beach. Upon entering, you’ll find amps, record players, and miscellaneous retro music equipment stacked to the ceiling! Downstairs is a maze-like room packed with records, so many that it requires treasure hunting through crates on all sides of the room. This place has the old charm of an eccentric, bohemian San Francisco. Best part—you can still buy an LP for $5!
Phoenix Hotel — 601 Eddy Street, San Francisco, CA 94109
An afternoon at the Phoenix feels like a mini trip to Palm Springs. The hotel itself is a cute, pale blue, mid-century design decorated by renowned Bay Area muralists such as Zio Ziegler. It’s worth keeping up with their events calendar, as the Phoenix hosts many cool art shows, and books amazing musicians to play sunny afternoon pool parties.
Haley Rott: Free People Palo Alto Store Manager
Afterlife Boutique — 988 Valencia Street, San Francisco, CA, 94110
There are dozens of boutiques on Valencia Street, but Afterlife is by far my favorite. From perfectly worn-in vintage band tees to jewelry created by local artists, Afterlife provides an amazingly curated selection of treasures. I’ve yet to find another store in the city that rivals its collection!
Case For Making — 4037 Judah Street, San Francisco, CA, 94122
As an artist myself, I’m constantly on the hunt for new materials to create with — I often have to look no further than Case For Making! Nestled on the outskirts of the Outer Sunset, this tiny art store houses a collection of beautiful art supplies, most of them handmade or locally sourced. In addition, they also hold a variety of workshops and classes designed for artists across the entire skill spectrum. Whether you’re a well-practiced, professional painter or simply an art enthusiast, Case For Making has a little something for everyone!
Clarion Alley — Located on Valencia Street between 17th and 18th Street
Located in the heart of the Mission neighborhood, Clarion Alley is home to a multitude of iconic murals reflecting the dynamic and diverse community of San Francisco. The murals, commissioned by the nonprofit Clarion Alley Mural Project, depict a variety of subjects and themes ranging from colorfully abstract to boldly, politically conscious. The murals are ever-changing, so each trip is a new experience!
Picaro — 3120 16th Street, San Francisco, CA, 94103
Whether it’s for happy hour or a friend’s birthday, Picaro is a go-to for me. Another gem of the mission district, this Spanish-inspired tapas restaurant – the first of its kind in San Francisco provides a fun yet relaxed environment for its patrons. Although nothing I’ve tried has ever let me down, the sangria patatas bravas, and paella are some of my favorites. The bold décor, friendly service, and prime location are all just added bonuses to the great food!
Devil’s Teeth Baking Company — 3876 Noriega Street, San Francisco, CA, 94122
Located just three blocks from the beach, Devil’s Teeth is the perfect place to start your morning. They not only have a mural by one of my favorite San Francisco artists, Zio Zeigler, painted right outside their doors, but they’re also home to one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had. Be prepared to stand in a bit of a line, but trust me – it’s worth it!
Green Apple Books & Music — 1231 9th Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94122
I used to work down the street from Green Apple, and it was a must-see for all the visitors that passed through. This store was established in 1967, and is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year! They supply both new and used books, magazines, journals, LPs, cards, gifts, and much more. It’s easy to spend hours in this store, because there are literally books from floor to ceiling, everywhere you look. Every genre you could possibly think of is represented in some corner of this store. Green Apple Books is a staple in the Richmond neighborhood, and a huge part of the SF community.
Smokestack at Magnolia Brewing Co. — 2505 3rd Street (@ 22ND), San Francisco, CA 94107
Beer, BBQ, and whiskey. What more could you ask for? This bar/restaurant/brewery is located in the Dogpatch, which is known for its industrial style buildings and deceptively large establishments. Smokestack is no exception. When you walk in, the ambiance immediately takes you back in time to the industrial past of this part of the city. There is a market style BBQ joint on one side, paired with a beer hall/whiskey bar on the other. Outside is a huge communal area with a roll-up door that makes you feel like you’re hanging out with all of your friends in their garage. Great beers, amazing BBQ, and a seriously Instagram-worthy vibe make this place a must.
Land’s End — 680 Point Lobos Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121
Land’s End has been my favorite place since I moved to SF. I visited once and knew that I had to live near this park, and am now lucky enough to reside in walking distance to this beautiful coastal trail. Located on the northwest corner of SF, and filled with cypress trees, plunging cliffs, and breathtaking views of the California coastline, the trail begins with views of the coastline, and around a few corners, The Golden Gate Bridge becomes visible in all of its glory. There is also a secret path that takes you down to a hidden labyrinth, that was constructed by a local artist. Vandals destroyed this labyrinth in 2015, but the artist and over 50 volunteers came together to rebuild the landmark.
AT&T Park — 24 Willie Mays Plaza, San Francisco, CA 94107
During baseball season, AT&T park becomes my home away from home. As a huge Giants fan, I am lucky to call this my field. The baseball field overlooks the San Francisco Bay, with an incredible view of The Bay Bridge behind the outfield. Known as one of the best parks in the MLB, AT&T park is a must-see when in SF. Go Giants!
The Fillmore — 1805 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94115
One of my favorite places to see a show. Just walking through its doors makes you feel as though you are amongst the greats of music. There is so much history at The Fillmore, and saying that The Poster Room proves it is an understatement. Every inch of the bar/restaurant upstairs, along with the balcony room across the hall, are lined with posters of sold out shows from decades prior — iconic “Fillmore Posters” of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix. These posters were originally used to advertise shows, but now each attendee is handed a poster as he/she heads out the door.
Pearl Martin-Eagle: Photographer & Stylist at Free People Walnut Creek
Cactus Jungle –1509 4th St, Berkeley, CA 94710
…Talk about a succulent sanctuary! This nursery is packed full of all the cacti, large and small, that you could dream of. They also carry a large variety of air plants and cute gardening supplies as well. I love walking through there, wishing I could take home all the huge cacti, but of course end up leaving with just a few small succulents.
I am so lucky to live in this gem of a neighborhood! It’s an arts community in between the Island of Alameda and Fruitvale. The streets are filled with colorful mirrored mosaics, murals, sculptural street art, old cars, and tons of plants… a photographer’s dream! Watching the sunset over the water on the boardwalk by the Park Street Bridge to Alameda never disappoints. And last but not least, Jingletown has its own local coffee shop, Kefa Coffee, that I frequent for the best chai, smoothie and breakfast sandwiches!
Souley Vegan — 301 Broadway, Oakland, CA 94607
Vegan, Lousiana-style soul food?! Dream come true! Don’t get me wrong, I love my dairy products, but this restaurant is one of my favorites in Oakland! Southern fried tofu, vegan mac and cheese, collard greens… Need I say more?
Café Van Kleef — 1621 Telegraph Ave, Oakland
Located in downtown Oakland, a couple of blocks from the Fox Theater is the perfect pre-show stop! They cart in boxes of fresh, sweet grapefruits to make fresh squeezed greyhounds. This small, dark dive bar is packed full of quirky, funky art and trinkets. I always discover something new every time I go!
The Alameda Flea Market –2900 Navy Way (at Main Street), Alameda, CA 94501
This amazing flea market is held the first Sunday of every month, and offers everything from vintage clothing, vinyl, crystals and minerals, vintage furniture as well as locally crafted furniture, and all the rugs you could ever want! I typically try to get there early to avoid the crowds. It’s located right on the water with amazing bay views. Also, Faction Brewing is in the next lot over, so you can try some local craft beer after shopping!

Dylan Brant Speaks Out About Art, Curating, and Rock n’ Roll
By Cait Munro
If you’ve spent any time in the worlds of art or fashion, chances are you’re aware of Dylan Brant to some degree. The millennial son of supermodel Stephanie Seymour and stepson of mega-collector Peter Brant has quickly made a name for himself as an up-and-coming curator with an eye for crafting thematic exhibitions featuring contributions from many of the artists whose work he grew up around (think Nate Lowman, Rob Pruitt, and Julian Schnabel).
Following successful shows at Venus Over Manhattan and Garis & Hahn, he was tapped by UTA Artist Space, United Talent Agency’s new visual arts endeavor in Los Angeles, to organize “HeatWave.” The name, he says, just sounds cool, but the big idea behind it is a celebration of youth culture and artists who remain young at heart.
BULLETT caught up with Brant by phone as he was setting up for the exhibition, which opens March 18, to talk about music, the Lower East Side in the aughts, and the impact of his unusually arty upbringing.
So the focus of your show is on youth culture, which I think is something that’s addressed a lot in rock n’ roll and in the music world, but maybe less in visual art. What drew you to that theme?
Well, my ideas don’t usually come from art but from other mediums. In this case, it came from my interest in punk rock music and particularly a band called The Cramps. I was looking at an interview with the lead singer of The Cramps, Lux Interior, that I think he gave in Denmark in the ’90s and they asked him a question, you know, “who do you think the music for your audience is?” and he said, “it’s teenagers” and they said, “well, you’re not a teenager, so how are you the voice of these people who are so much younger than you?” And he said, “well, you know, it’s really not about how old you are, it’s about your frame of mind — if you have a youthful spirit, if you’re young at heart.”
What I’ve found, which is really interesting, is most of the artists that I’m particularly drawn to are a little bit older, they’re not in their teens or early 20s. But they have a youthful spirit and a vitality — as do a lot of the collectors who are drawn to these artists and help establish them. The artists who are in this show, for me, over the course of my life, have really informed how I look at art. Artists like Nate Lowman, Cady Noland, Josh Smith — some of my earliest exposure to art was through these artists and they made me realize the possibilities.
I definitely think a lot of artists in this show, people like Dan Colen or Dash Snow, have a very punk rock vibe to them.
I really admire stuff from that particular period that they were making work, everything that was going on on the Lower East Side at that particular moment. It’s a really, really special time. I think that as time goes on, those artists are going to get a really special place in the history of New York and the history of art-making. They represent a period of New York that was really dangerous and wild. And I don’t really know very many young artists, particularly in the case of Dash Snow, that really live what their work is about in that way. It was aggressive and it was mean and it was edgy.
The thing about those artists is that they all knew each other and hung out together and were sometimes even referencing each in their work and that made it easy for them to symbolize that particular moment in time. Do you think that there is or will be a group of artists who do that for our generation?
Yeah, I totally think so. The Postinternet art movement is one of those examples where you have dialogues happening between people to figure out where and how the internet plays into the functional role of art. Haley Mellin was a big teacher of mine and someone who I learned a lot from, and of course Brad Troemel. Moving forward, artists like Josh Kline and some of the people who are coming out of that vernacular, and then artists like Jordan Wolfson who are are interesting, and then all the other groups in New York and Los Angeles that are always going to be sort of umbrella-headed into a movement so that we can better understand them. For example, what Still House Group did early on, with having a gallery space and combining that with a group of studios and all of them working together and collaborating and feeding off of each other. That’s been going on in history forever and I don’t think it will ever stop. Art is a dialogue.
Can you explain the name “HeatWave”?
I was discussing with a couple friends of mine and my sister Allison [Brant, director of the Brant Foundation Art Study Center] who I really, madly respect, and we kind of came upon the name just because it sounded good. We found this text online from this flyer for a punk rock band, with this kind of like old-school rock, almost really ’90s surf logo, and I was just like, that looks really, really good. The name itself I think ultimately, it sounds really good, and I don’t think there’s anything beyond that. The way that it looks just felt really right.
Can you tell me a bit about UTA Artist Space and what it’s been like to work with them?
It’s been absolutely amazing working with them, they’re incredibly open-minded and they’ve been really flexible with my curatorial process. But what I think is really interesting about the UTA Artist Space is that they bring something a little bit different to the table. They obviously have the connections with the entertainment industry, but beyond that, they’re also facilitators for creative expression in a different way [than a gallery]. It’s a lot more free-form and a very open forum. The space is really about manifesting and realizing ideas. For me particularly, they approached me and offered for me to do a show with them and they were just about realizing whatever vision I wanted to bring to the table. You don’t really have an opportunity to do that with most galleries.
With this whole idea of youth culture, rather than trying to put my own language in or my own idea of what a piece is about, I wanted to make the show more about a celebration of those particular artists and their contributions to art and the inherent bond between them with that vitality and youthful energy that they bring to the table. It really helps people either move beyond their particular perspective or have a cathartic experience, and I think that’s really what art is. So I wanted to do a show that was about a celebration of the artists that I really love without an intense emphasis on what the art necessarily meant.
With the exception of Cady Noland and Karen Kilimnik, all the artists in this show are men. Was that a conscious decision?
With regards to Cady Noland, I think she is one of the greatest American artists from the ’90s to today. She has been just always a master. I have never seen anyone make artwork as perfect as hers — on a formal level, on a social level, in terms of what it meant — in such a short period of time. She’s just a master.
With regards to the other artists being particularly men, it wasn’t a conscious decision. I think it more had to do with my particular background and the art that I had experienced in the past and what really moved me. I really just wanted to express things that had moved me. Because usually, the way that I like to curate is before I try to create a dialogue about something, it has to mean something to me. That means that I had an emotional reaction and it helped me move beyond myself. So I think it kind of just sort of happened.
A lot of the artists in this show are people that you’ve grown up around in a very personal way, coming from a collecting family. Have you loved art your whole life, or were you one of the kids who didn’t like it and then came back to it later?
I’ve loved art my whole entire life. The one thing that I will say is that for the longest time, I wanted to be a musician. So I played tons of instruments and I loved to record music and song write. But by the time I turned 16 I realized that really, I was inherently drawn more to art rather than music. It just came so naturally to me because I had spent so much time around it. It was kind of like breathing. Versus music, which obviously I absolutely love and I still play, I just never had the ability to actually produce anything I felt had real, inherent substance. I realized that if I wanted to work in a creative field, I was much better suited to be — I guess the right word would be a loudspeaker or an advocate — for someone else’s art than to do that for my own stuff. But I think that happens to a lot of people who are curators or gallerists or have other roles in the art world. Coming from a creative background gives you a different appreciation for the art-making process.

HEALTHY FOOD ACCESS TASMANIA
Tasmania has one of the highest rates of obesity, diabetes and heart disease in the country. One of the reasons is that, for many people, it isn’t easy to access healthy food. In fact, data suggest that up to 30 per cent of Tasmanians are affected by poor access to nutritious, affordable food, and that resulting health care costs the state around $60 million per year. On this website you’ll find tools, resources and case studies that can help you to improve food security in your region.

London: Longmans, Green, & Co., 1899. Hardcover. This is the first printing of the Silver Library edition of Churchill's first book. The Story of the Malakand Field Force was based on Churchill's exploits with Sir Bindon Blood's expedition on the Northwest Frontier of India in 1897. While Churchill had previously applied his pen as a published correspondent, this was his first book-length work and he clearly labored over it: "I have discovered a great power of application which I did not think I possessed. For two months I have worked not less than five hours a day." Publication of the first edition of 1898 was arranged by Churchill's uncle while the author was still in India, resulting in numerous spelling and detail errors. Churchill was incensed by the errors and acted with haste to address them. Hence later states of the first edition bear errata slips.
In part because of the errors in the first edition which so vexed Churchill, the publisher also issued a second edition less than a year after the first in January 1899. This Silver Library edition was the first to incorporate the author's corrections in the text, making this an important and highly collectable edition. Unfortunately, the maroon boards proved highly susceptible to fading and wear, the paper easily browned and became brittle, and the binding often cracked.
Here is the first Silver Library edition, first printing - one of just 1,440 copies. This is a very good copy, suitable for collectors. The maroon binding is square and tight with good shelf presentation. The spine retains strong color, having been spared the usual sunning. We note light overall wear to spine ends, corners, and hinges. The contents remain bright and clean for the edition, with age-toning substantially limited to the perimeter of the pages. We find no spotting. All maps are intact, as are the frontispiece and original tissue guard and the original, distinctive swan and ship endpapers. A single previous owner name and date of “Dec 4th. / 01” is inked on the front free endpaper.

Join the sofasession community and visit our booth at Musikmesse Frankfurt! Learn more about facinating and unconventional playing techniques in Peter Luha’s funky slap guitar workshop – presented by sofasession.
Do you need inspiration and seek new input to improve your style? Are you also bored by all the run of the mill guitar solos and classical playing techniques? Are you open for new challenges and want to add a new note to your licks? Then we’ve got exactly what you’re looking for!
Funky slap guitar workshop- what’s that?
Most of you will know what’s slapping: You take your thumb and strike a string towards the neck of your instrument. Then pull it away as quickly as possible, to create a distinct, “fretty” noise. This technique was invented in the 1910s, but became popular in the 1940s. E-guitars spread quickly and bassists had problems to be recognized. By adding this percussive sound they simply tried to boost their volume. Slapping is often combined with popping where you pull a string until it snaps against the fingerboard. Here are some bands who commonly use these techniques: Red Hot Chili Peppers H-Blockx, and Korn.
So far for the history lesson, but what does slapping have to do with guitars? Well some guitarists were happy to try out new things so they copied the slapping style. Mostly an acoustic guitars but it can also be done on e-guitars. How this sounds you ask? Check out this amazing video by Peter Luha:
Sounds great right? At least that’s what we think! Therefore we invited an expert in this field to show you how it’s done in a funky slap guitar workshop. At our booth he will demonstrate you some of his crazy solos. Afterwards he’ll give instructions and explain how it works.
Who is Peter Luha? This really talented Slovak guitarist has a unique style of playing. Based on a mix of various traditional and non-traditional guitar techniques (slapping, tapping, percussive playing) he developed his special sound. Peter Luha knows no genre restrictions and plays on electric as well as acoustic guitars. Besides being the lead guitarist of the progressive rock band Persona Grata, Peter Luha has several solo projects and regularly gives guitar lessons on his youtube channel. For sofasession he will give one of his cool lessons live at our booth (E64, Hall 5.1) at Musikmesse Frankfurt. Also check out this amazing video of him as winner of the Boss Loop Station World Championship Slovak Finals

Acute meningitis and encephalitis are the most common clinical manifestations, however symptoms may be protean and diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion in patients from endemic areas. Diagnosis is often based on neurological symptoms, serology, and suggestive brain imaging because cerebrospinal fluid culture yields are low. Two cases of pediatric neurobrucellosis with unusual clinical and radiologic findings are presented.

I’ve been on quite the vegetable kick lately. Before now, I never realized how easy it was to just throw together a meaty main dish for dinner and call it a day. Now I’ve really had to get creative so that salad is not the only thing on the menu. One of the most hearty vegetarian dishes on my rotation is shakshuka. It has an earthy yet spicy kick thanks to some key ingredients, and it spoons just so perfectly onto a steaming loaf of Homemade Bread.
Having made a number of shakshuka dishes in my day, I decided that it was time to put my own spin on the Middle Eastern classic. I noticed that using regular ‘ol chicken eggs left a big hard yolk after cooking that I wasn’t a huge fan of. The solution? Go smaller! Quail eggs are pretty adorable, I won’t lie, and they can be found at most markets, or in my case the 99 Ranch down the street. I tossed in some zoodles because of course we have to be “on trend” over here, and voila! The results were scrumptious.
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 red bell peppers
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 zucchinis
- 10 quail eggs
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 28-oz can whole peeled tomatoes
- 1 1/2 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup goat cheese
- mint and parsley for garnish (1:1 ratio)
- salt + pepper to taste
- crusty bread, for serving
Kitchen Tools: oven-proof skillet (I opted for cast iron), spiralizer or julienne tool
Halve + peel onions, then thinly slice. Remove tops and seeds of bell peppers and thinly slice lengthwise. Mince garlic. Spiralize or julienne zucchini. Finely chop mint and parsley for your garnish to get about a heaping tbsp of each.
Preheat oven to 400*F. Heat olive oil in oven-proof skillet on medium low heat. Toss in sliced onions and bell peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. It’s a long time but trust me, the results are so worth it. While your onions and peppers are doing their thing, you can prep the rest of your ingredients or dance around the kitchen to your favorite anthem. I’ll leave that up to you.
Bring heat to medium and add in spices. Stir well the fully coat the peppers and onions. Use your hands (this is the fun part) to smoosh the whole peeled tomatoes before they go in the pan. Pour in the remaining liquid. Season again with salt. Let the mixture cook down, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Stir in zucchini.
Using a spoon, create little pockets in the shakshuka for the eggs to go in. You won’t need to “dig” all the way to the bottom of the pan, just give them enough space so that each egg stays together. Use a sharp knife to cut the top off each quail egg (this is the only realistic way to get the yolk out whole) and upend them into their little nests. Crumble goat cheese on top and place the dish in the oven. (This is also a good time to scoot your bread in there too) Cook for 15 minutes or until egg white are opaque. If you added the bread, keep an eye on it and pull it out when it starts to brown slightly on top.
Top with chopped mint and parsley. Serve with warmed crusty bread.
Tips + Tricks
- I know quail eggs are pretty obscure, so don’t fret if you can’t find them. You can most definitely use regular chicken eggs, just instead of 10, I would downsize to about 5 or 6.
- If you do use regular eggs, be sure to add 5-7 minutes on to your cooking time to make sure that the egg whites fully cook.

ASUS Turbo RTX 3090 Graphics Card (TURBO-RTX3090-24G)
ASUS Turbo GeForce RTX 3090 is a blower-style graphics card powered by NVIDIA's RTX 3090 GPU built on the latest Ampere architecture. The blower-style form factor makes it a good choice for space-constrained builds.

President-elect Donald Trump plans to name Observer media owner Jared Kushner as his senior advisor in the White House, according to a Monday report from Politico co-founder Mike Allen.
Allen asserted that Kushner is already in the process of naming “his own staff” in the new administration. Trump’s team of lawyers reportedly found a way to ensure the move was fully legal, according to Allen.
Kushner and his wife, Ivanka Trump, recently announced they purchased a house in the Kalorama neighborhood of Northwest D.C., just three minutes’ walk from President Barack Obama’s new house.
Kushner played a huge role during the 2016 presidential campaign. Kushner oversaw the extremely targeted social media branch of the campaign, and also worked as an advisor to Trump.
Multiple campaign insiders asserted that Kushner effectively managing every branch of the campaign that won the White House despite having nearly half the funds of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
“Jared Kushner is the biggest surprise of the 2016 election,” former Google CEO Eric Schmidt told Forbes in December. “Best I can tell, he actually ran the campaign and did it with essentially no resources.”

Dems try to make payday lending an election issue
AUSTIN - The stories of desperate people falling into the cycle of taking one high-interest payday loan after another to make ends meet have made the industry deeply unpopular in Texas, and Democrats are hoping to lay that anguish at the feet of Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott.
Abbott's Democratic competitor Wendy Davis, who has authored legislation to limit payday lending fees, seized on comments made by the chair of the Texas Finance Commission to the El Paso Times. William J. White, a Gov. Rick Perry appointee and vice president at payday lender Cash America, told the newspaper the industry should not face additional regulations because the individuals who take the loans are responsible for their hardships, not the companies who make the loans.
Texas law requires someone from the consumer lending industry serve on the Texas Finance Commission, which hears consumer complaints, and White fulfills that requirement. But White's comments have focused attention on a seven-year-old fight to rein in the industry, which, thanks to a broadly written law, allows loan brokers to charge large fees for arranging loans.
Davis and her Democratic allies in the Texas Senate have called on White to resign his post, arguing that he has revealed his unwillingness to police the industry while hearing cases involving his employer. Davis and progressive groups want Abbott to investigate and remove White, but they also say Abbott is responsible for a 2006 interpretation of the law that cleared the way for payday lenders to charge fees as high as 25 percent of the loan's value.
Since 2006, the number of storefront lenders has boomed to outnumber the number of McDonald's and Starbucks restaurants in the state.
"Abbott's office gave the green light to predatory lenders to expand their operations across our state," Davis said in a statement. "Abbott has proven that he is an advocate for payday lenders that go after hardworking Texans, even members of our armed services, with predatory loan costs often exceeding 500 percent. It's time for a leader who believes you don't have to buy your way into Texas' future."
Yet the 2006 legal interpretation, written by First Assistant Attorney General Barry McBee, said state law and a federal court decision did not allow the attorney general to stop payday lenders from doing business as "credit service organizations," a designation designed to allow nonprofits to help people get out of debt.
"Any discussion of whether the use of this (business) model is the best public policy choice for the State of Texas is one that must be addressed by the Legislature," McBee wrote.
Current fees can lead the borrower to pay the equivalent of 500 percent annual interest on their loans. Davis has proposed legislation that would limit the fees that a payday lender may charge, but it hasn't passed. The Texas Baptist Christian Life Commission presented its Horizon Award to Davis for trying to curb predatory lending practices.
Since 2010, payday lenders and their employees have donated $3.7 million to Texas officials, according to an analysis of campaign finance reports by Texans for Public Justice released in March. This week, the non-partisan watchdog group said that since 2009, payday lenders have given Abbott $179,000 and given Davis $10,500.
Matt Hirsch, a spokesman for the Abbott campaign, declined to answer any questions about White or to say whether he thinks payday lenders should face tougher regulations. He instead questioned why Davis voted for White's nomination in 2011 to chair the commission if she had a problem with his nomination.
"As governor, Greg Abbott will ensure his appointees are above reproach," Hirsch said.
Since 2006, Abbott's office has investigated four payday lenders and won judgments or reached settlements in three cases, said Lauren Bean, spokeswoman for the attorney general's office. Prosecutors shut down Texas Advance Internet for targeting military members in El Paso with predatory lending practices, and they got Check 'n Go Texas and EZPAWN to improve identity theft protections.
Meanwhile, federal officials have prosecuted payday lenders. On Nov. 20, the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ordered Cash America to refund $14 million and pay a $5 million fine for robotically signing debt collection documents.
Politically, Davis is unlikely to win over any Republican votes for her criticism of payday lending, but it could fire up the Democratic base. For years the NAACP and AARP have lobbied hard for tougher payday lending rules, and it's an important issue for their constituencies.

|Title: ||Carbon and nitrogen mineralization of organic wastes from sugarcane distilleries: vinasse and yeast waste|
|Authors: ||Vasconcelos, E.|
|Keywords: ||organic waste|
|Issue Date: ||Sep-2010|
|Publisher: ||Cordovil, C. e Ferreira, L.|
|Abstract: ||In Madeira Island (Portugal) significant amounts of wastes are generated in sugarcane distilleries, namely vinasse
(the remaining fermented must after distillation) and yeast waste (the yeast surplus produced during the alcoholic
fermentation). These wastes have high organic loads and low pH, leading to serious environmental problems when
released directly into natural watercourses or when poorly managed (Hati et al., 2007).
As a solution to avoid expensive treatments, both wastes have been used as soil amendment, since they
contain important amounts of plant nutrients and organic matter (Resende et al., 2006; Parnaudeau et al., 2008).
Indeed, application to soils of vinasse is a common practice in sugarcane cultivated areas and can fully substitute K
and partially P on crops fertilization. Nevertheless, additional mineral nitrogen fertilization is needed when vinasse
is spread in the soils (Junior et al., 2007; Oliveira et al., 2009). On the other hand, yeast waste has been considered
as an excellent potential source of nitrogen for plant nutrition when applied to soils (Rezende et al., 2004). Thus,
combined application of both wastes should ensure a more balanced supply of nutrients to plants. However, scarce
information is available on the combine use of both wastes as fertilizer.
The main objective of this study is to assess the effect of the combined application to soil of both organic
materials (vinasse and yeast waste), and to evaluate its subsequent effects on nitrogen mineralization/immobilization
process to supply nitrogen to crops and to preserve/restore soil carbon.|

The chief minister said he read out the verdict, para by para, to the Home Minister. (PTI)
Locked in a long-running confrontation with the Centre over administrative powers, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh to press upon his government’s claim to decide bureaucratic postings and transfers and said the BJP leader appeared “satisfied” with his view.
Mr Kejriwal, accompanied by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, met Mr Singh at his residence to assert that his government has power over ‘services’ matter following the Supreme Court’s recent verdict and that the Centre and Lt Governor should obey the order in totality.
After the meeting, Mr Kejriwal said Mr Singh’s “gestures” showed that he was satisfied with his view and the union minister would discuss the matter with his officials.
The Home Ministry officials, however, later said that Mr Singh conveyed to the chief minister that the ministry will take legal opinion on the issue.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Mr Kejriwal said, “We told him (Singh) that the Centre and the LG are interpreting the Supreme Court order in a strange manner. They are saying that they will obey half of the order but not the other half.”
The Supreme Court verdict, which restricted the jurisdiction of Lieutenant Governor of Delhi to matters of land, police and public order, has been used by the AAP government to claim control over services matters including transfer and posting of…

Langston Hughes stands as a literary and cultural translation of the political resistance and campaign of black consciousness leaders similar to Martin Luther King to revive the rights of the black citizenry thus fulfilling the ethos of the American dream, which is celebrated universally yearly round February to April. Proud of his versatility, he also wrote a commissioned historical past of the NAACP and the text of a a lot praised pictorial history of black America The Sweet Flypaper of Life (1955), the place he explicated images of Harlem by Roy DeCarava, which was judged masterful by reviewers, and confirmed Hughes’s fame for an unequalled command of the nuances of black city tradition.
With the beginning of World Struggle II, Hughes returned to the political centre. Despite this, many white people discovered it onerous to consider that a Black girl could possibly be so clever as to put in writing poetry. The challenges facing Nigerian artists are multifaceted: lack of encouragement and patronage at both the home front and out of doors, disparaging comments about artists, the neglect of the … Read More

Is your Great Dane suffering from weak and flat feet? While feet support the whole body and Great Danes have gigantic bodies. If their feet are weak or flat, it’s a severe issue because these dogs are already prone to joint disease, hip dysplasia, and more bone diseases. Feet development is essential in Great Danes, especially in puppies. Sometimes improper growth leads to knuckling in Great Dane puppies.
But weak joints and poor structure cause severe pain, permanent joint injury, and arthritis in adult Great Danes. Don’t worry; you can strengthen your Great Dane feet by different steps such as giving a nutritional diet, proper exercise, trimming the nails, etc. So, in this article, we’ll go through how to strengthen your Great Dane’s feet. Keep reading!
Is Genetics Roles Foot Structure in Great Danes?
Genetics play a vital role in the overall structure of Great Danes, such as body shape, color, feet, etc. According to the illustrated standard, the Great Dane’s feet must be parallel and straight while viewing from the front. The feet must be well-knuckled. Also, the Great Dane’s pastern curve should be 8 degrees.
If your Dane has splayed toes, east-west feet, and bone abnormality, these are considered faults. The illustrated standard is formed on establishing a proper structure for Great Danes. They require structure correctly for long life, comfort, movement, and overall health.
Also, genetics definitely play a role if your Great Danes have “turnout” feet. Incorrect feet and joints are also caused due to damaged growth plate which is known as Angular Limb Deformities. This condition is cured by surgery. Also, always consult your veterinarian first.
Some of these Great Danes are weak, some have poor genetic structure, and some have nutritional flaws. So, the illustrated standard says, splayed feet, hare feet, and flat or down pasterns are not acceptable.
The Great Dane’s pasterns should lean slightly. The feet must be small and round with well-arched toes. The feet should neither be rolling in, rolling out, nor toeing inside or outside. Also, the nails must be short or trimmed correctly.
6 Ways to Strengthen your Great Dane Feet
Here are the 6 ways to strengthen your Great Dane’s feet:
1. Go Outside and Play
Great Danes benefit from playing and hiking in soft areas. Especially free play is beneficial for puppies. If your Great Dane nails are overgrown, walks on a hard surface are harmful to joints and should be discouraged. Slick surfaces such as laminate, tile, or wood are also not good for joints, so utilize yoga mats.
Look up for soft pea gravel, hills, dirt piles, trampoline, grass, and sand. Please do not use a short leash as it will restrict your Great Dane from exploring or walking. Use e-collars for your Great Danes because they allow your pooch to move freely and avoid pressure on the chest, face, or neck. Also, here you can choose the best collar for your Great Dane.
Great Dane puppies are highly exposed to different textures and surfaces. They must be encouraged to safely explore different areas and use their body properly without restriction. Swimming, ramps, and tunnels are excellent for establishing confidence and making feet sturdy.
Your dog mustn’t jump on furniture or bed as it can cause severe injury. Also, jumping can damage the growth plates, and addressing them can be pretty expensive and painful. So, your Great Dane must not make a habit of jumping, whether adult or puppy. Want socialization tips for Great Dane?
2. Stable Games
Balanced games stimulate tiny muscles, ligaments, and tendons in dogs like humans. You should encourage balance activities to make your Great Dane’s muscles strengthen. Ask a veterinarian or a dog physical therapist for help if you don’t know about dog activities.
Some ideas include walking on a trampoline or across a wood plank on grass, standing on sofas or beds, utilizing balance pods, and doing push-ups. Build a puppy playground for Great Dane puppies. Use ramps, cushions, tunnels, gym mats, etc. to encourage exploration, build confidence, and body understanding.
Keep in mind, supervise your Great Dane and keep it safe. Never force your Dane to walk on an unstable surface or into an activity. Let your dog choose activities and use its body to do them. Also, you should reward your Dane with treats to praise and encourage them.
3. Nail Trimming
Overgrown nails are the main reason for Great Dane splayed toes, flat pasterns, and weak knuckles. For instance, if the nails are too long, they will touch the floor and change the foot shape when Great Dane walks. It will cause joint damage, pain, and arthritis with time. Trim your Great Dane’s nails every week and make it a habit.
If your Great Dane is disobedient, take help from a trainer and learn how to train your dog. We recommend MPP Professional Grade Pet Nail Clipper for trimming the nails and Dremel Tool with battery power and soft grip material.
You can also use GoPets Nail Clipper to cut the nails softly and eradicate the pressure most dogs feel uncomfortable with. Its sharpness never gets dull. So, go for Dremel if you want to round the nail and cut them slightly off your Great Dane.
Here is an image of overgrown nails:
Here is an image of maintained nails:
Great Danes can maintain and improve their joint motions by stretching. It also helps them stabilize their feet in good form because stretching blurts nerve endings in the muscles that prepare them for different activities. So, let your Dane stretch for a few minutes to establish a strong body and feet.
Dogs need exercise and movement to stay healthy and strong. Hire a trainer for your Great Dane’s fitness and learn how to use wobble boards or balls to help your Great Dane develop strength and balance. You can use Tomaz Wobble Cushion for strengthening exercises.
Place this cushion on a non-slip and flat surface, then let your Dane put their front feet on it. This cushion will jiggle, and your dog will maintain balance. It is super fun, and your pooch will learn to balance quickly if you place it right. Busy your dog with treats so it will stand up tall on its feet.
Also, do not spend much time on it, and do not let your Dane stretch too fast otherwise it will get injured. Also, take help from a qualified fitness trainer.
6. Proper Diet
A poor diet can lead to poor health. All life stages diets do not offer enough nutrition for growing Great Danes and might grow unevenly. Do not choose a diet that lacks essential amino acids and nutrients. We recommend Royal Canin, Eukanuba, Purina Pro Plan, and Hill’s Science Diet.
These brand dog foods are researched, tested, and appropriately formulated for developing giant dog breeds. Also, if your Great Dane is struggling with food might face loose stools, poor muscles, low energy, gas, dull coat, and underweight or overweight. Improper nutrients can lead to arthritis, hip dysplasia, joint disease, knuckling, heart disease, etc.
So, consult your Great Dane veterinarian for a proper diet. Here are the rich nutrient foods for your Great Danes:
- Best Dog Food For Great Danes with Diarrhea
- Best Dog Food For Great Danes with Skin Allergies
- Best Wet Dog Food For Great Danes
- Best Dry Dog Food For Great Danes

Also knows as the Church of the Seat of Mary, it was a 5th-century Byzantine church in Jerusalem, located between Jerusalem and Bethlehem.
It was built on the alleged resting place of Bibi Maryam رضي الله عنها on the road to Bethlehem mentioned in christians texts.
The church was built by a wealthy widow named Ikelia in AD 456 on what was already a major pilgrimage site. It was enlarged in the 6th century, but destroyed around the 11th century.
Its remains were discovered accidentally during construction work of Highway 60 in 1992 near Mar Elias Monastery.
The course of the highway was shifted to avoid damage to the site, so that the ruins are now just off the road, at the once municipal border between Jerusalem and Bethlehem before 1967. The site was excavated in 1997.

Ex-BBC journalist Graham Leach offers tips for researchers looking to build a media profile. Step one: cut to the chase. Step two: ditch the jargon.
The simple answer is: news channels tend to return to the interviewees they know because they trust them to put across what they want to say in a way that fits the bill for the TV station and its viewers.
It’s a similar case when it comes to a press journalist ringing up an expert to quiz them about a particular piece of research they’ve produced or a report they are publishing. If you give the journalist information in a way that makes it easy for them to handle, you’ll go straight into the contacts book.
That’s the critical barrier that researchers – indeed any experts – have to cross to make headway with the news media. Researchers and journalists generally have different approaches to life, or at least to what they write. Reporters writing an article about the findings of a report have to cut to the chase from the start of their piece. They have to ask themselves a number of important questions. Why is this report of news value today? Who’s affected by the findings? What are the consequences? Do the findings represent a first in this particular area?
“A journalist will want to concentrate on the ‘human interest’ angle of a piece of research rather than the dry recitation of how the researchers have arrived at their conclusions”
By contrast, researchers tend to come from a different direction. Their preference is to outline the background first, along with the context and any related analysis. For a journalist this simply delays the moment when we get to the heart of the story.
A journalist will also want to concentrate on the human interest angle of a piece of research rather than the dry recitation of how the researchers have arrived at their conclusions.
So it’s often quite a mental gear change that researchers have to make when plucked from their offices and thrust in front of a newspaper journalist or a TV camera.
The first thing they need to master is how to marshal the key facts in a concise, focused way that the press journalist can almost transcribe onto their keyboard without hours of decoding, or which the viewer or listener can understand without having to think about it.
Researchers also have to get to grips with different interview formats, particularly on television. At least in a press interview the interviewee has a bit of time to breathe. The pace does not have to be hectic unless the reporter is on a really urgent deadline. On TV and radio, by contrast, time is always very tight. Two or three minutes is not untypical for the duration of an average news interview. Reducing a piece of in-depth research into 120 seconds can be daunting and counterintuitive to a subject expert, but it has to be done.
It’s not sufficient, either, just to be able to crack the live TV interview. Only the other day I was talking to a producer on one of the 24-hour news stations who was tearing his hair out because expert X couldn’t deliver a soundbite. Yes, the expert in question was able to deliver a live three-minute interview, but they were completely incapable of producing a 20-second clip for use in a news package.
Perhaps the biggest hurdle of all, however, is jargon – the in-house mumbo-jumbo that pervades all sectors and which is like a foreign language to most people. Leaving all this nonsense behind when being interviewed would be a major step forward in ‘engaging’ with the media – which in itself is a horrible piece of jargon.
Graham Leach is a former BBC and Sky News journalist and co-founder of the media training company HarveyLeach

Urging or ordering Torontonians to wear face masks in some public settings is under consideration during Toronto’s COVID-19 recovery planning, Mayor John Tory said Thursday.
Tory made the comments on CP24 in response to a viewer question about some stores making face coverings mandatory to help prevent COVID-19 infections.
The mayor said city and public health officials are now debating the issue.
“I think there will be some recommendation coming on that, whether it’s in stores, restaurants, on the street, on the subway,” Tory said.
“We’ve got to come to grips with that, as to whether that’s going to help make sure, once we get the city reopening, we don’t go back to a second wave (of infections) because people aren’t wearing masks.
“I just don’t know enough to know if that will be coming, that kind of order or suggestion. Then, of course, the question arises ‘Where do the masks come from?’ It’s just under very active consideration as part of the recovery and reopening plans for the city.”
In response to questions from the Star, Tory wrote that people raise the issue of masks with him all the time. “Whether we should recommend people wear non-medical masks in stores, restaurants, in the subway, or on the sidewalk,” is a question that needs to be answered, he wrote.
Changing advice on how much cloth and other non-medical masks worn by regular citizens limit COVID-19 spread has been a controversial facet of the global pandemic.
Dr. Eileen de Villa, Toronto’s public health chief, has said non-medical masks, used properly, might prevent others from getting your germs. But they aren’t considered effective for protecting the user from infection, she said, adding people are safest staying home.
Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s chief public health officer, on Monday said Canadians can consider wearing non-medical, or homemade, masks if they are in a situation where they cannot avoid close contact with people, such as on public transit or out buying groceries, the Star’s Tonda MacCharles reported.
Tam said her new advice, which was not an official recommendation, reflected rapidly changing scientific evidence about virus transmission by people not exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms.
Canada’s supply of medical-grade masks, including N95 respirators, are needed to protect health care workers, Tam added.
What do you think about the possibility of face masks being made mandatory in some public settings?
