This month we review a book that features the creation of natural desserts that can be made to accommodate a variety of diets.
Practically Raw Desserts:
Flexible Recipes for All-Natural Sweets and Treats
By Amber Shea Crawley
Vegan Heritage Press, 2013
Being schooled at both the famed Matthew Kenny Academy and the Living Light Culinary Institute doesn't guarantee an amazing career. But talented chef Amber Shea Crawley turned her education into a dazzling cookbook of Practically Raw Desserts with mouthwatering color photos.
In this era of so many people struggling with food sensitivities and allergies, finding delicious desserts that don't contain offending ingredients can be a challenge. Chef Amber's innovative touch approaches dessert recipes so creatively they can work for everyone.
For those trying to reduce or eliminate refined sugar and avoid allergens, like gluten, dairy products, eggs, wheat, soy, refined flours, yeast, starches, gums, corn, and peanuts, Amber says, "I've got you covered in this collection of decadent--yet healthful--pastries and sweets."
The recipes are inventively presented with a number of options for the home cook:
Included is a detailed ingredient guide that covers all the familiar pantry items needed to prepare a tasty dessert, as well as the typical tools and basic appliances used in the recipes. Sidebars cover special techniques like soaking nuts and seeds, substituting with stevia, and using alternative sweeteners.
Back to Basics includes easy, money-saving techniques for homemade versions of costly store-bought items like nut and seed milks, flours, butters, date syrup, and instant applesauce. These special ingredients are key to preparing delicious desserts like the beautiful Russian Tea Cakes or Banana Butter Brownies pictured on pages 48 and 69.
A Girl Walks into a Bar is the innovative title of the chapter on bars, brownies, and blondies that features Marzipan Buckeye Bars complete with a gorgeous photo. This irresistible two-layer bar takes a mere 20 minutes or less to prepare and is an ideal make-ahead treat conveniently stored in the freezer to enjoy at a moment's notice.
The classic 1970s old-fashioned Pineapple Upside-Down Cake is a dream to prepare in a food processor or stand mixer and will make a sensational appearance on any table. The topping, placed into the bottom of the pan, is quickly made with a sprinkle of coconut palm sugar covered by fresh or thawed frozen pineapple. The cake batter, is then pressed over the pineapple. Then the home cook can make it raw or baked, and serve it refrigerated or frozen.
Chef Amber's amazing selection of homemade desserts means readers don't have to travel to Austria, Mexico, India, or even Florida, to enjoy specialties like Linzer Torte, Dulce de Leche, Keer, or Key Lime Pie, complete with a host of variations.
Even chocolate lovers will not be left wanting with decadent treats like Midnight Mocha Cookies, Ultimate Raw Brownies, Chocolate Hazelnut Torte, Dark Chocolate Truffle Tart, Velvety Chocolate Mousse, or Dark Chocolate Sorbet.
Practically Raw Desserts opens a sweet new world for people with food intolerances who have been unable to enjoy traditional desserts. The book is a stunning festival of treats displayed in numerous beautiful, full color photographs. One taste is convincing enough to recognize the talents of a special chef who has mastered the art of indulgent sweets. The book is a must for every kitchen, and especially for those who have felt excluded because of food allergies and sensitivities. The recipes are well crafted to be easy, flexible, and doggone delicious.

Tapestry were formed in 1970 and gigged the Wellington circuit in the early seventies. They actually evolved from the Lost Souls. They were a hard working foursome who cut "Midnight Rider"/"In The Shadows" in 1971 on Climax label. Switching to UBA they recorded two more singles "Celebration"/"It's Wrong" in 1972 and "John, Where You Going"/"In The Rain" in 1973.
Tapestry were resident at the Cave in Wellington and lasted as a group until 1976. Quite a few of Wellington's finest musicians passed through the group at various times, including Kerry Jacobsen, who went on to play with Dragon, and Robbie Mackie and Dave Kirkland from Cellophane, as well as James Dwain and Glenn Timihou from Spyce Of Lyfe and Creation.
In the eighties, Dave Feehan expanded his repertoire to embrace soul and jazz, recording an album and two singles.

Founder of Jewel Hive Initiative, Oluwatoyin Falaiye has opened up on how she was allegedly raped by a neighbour’s son and her adopted father.
Falaiye in an interview with Chude Jideonwo, host of #WithChude, discussed dealing with and surviving adversities and her new book: “Diamond in the Rough.”
She recounted leaving her village in Akure, Ondo State to visit her aunt in Lagos, who later adopted her.
After the visit, Falaiye insisted she wanted to stay back in Lagos, being fascinated by the new sights and experiences she had.
She said: “At the age of 10, I was raped by a neighbour’s son.
“As a young girl who had just left her village and was new to the ways of the city, I had no understanding of what it meant to be a virgin or to experience bleeding as a result of rape.
“I just felt a boy had injured me.
“After the incident, the neighbour scolded the boy and sent him away.
“The neighbour then cleaned me up and warned me not to tell anyone about what happened.
“I wish my story ended there.
“However, two years later, my adopted father began to molest me, and that went on for seven years – night after night.
“It’s almost always unbelievable to explain to people that there was someone who came for your body for seven years.
“The days I escaped being abused were the days when I started menstruating, those were my days off from abuse.
“I’ve also had questions like: ‘Why didn’t you tell anyone?’
“Well, I was threatened not to tell anyone, and that if I did, I would be sent back to the village and would die after seven days.
“I didn’t want to die, and I didn’t want to go back to the village.
“Furthermore, despite attending a public school in Festac town, Lagos, I was already the bright student in my class.
“I always used to say, sexual abuse was the price I had to pay to get an education.”
Falaiyee also shared that dealing with abuse for seven years made her attempt suicide.
She said: “The abuse went on for seven long years and was killing me – I was dying slowly.
“I attempted my first suicide at the age of 15, I remember that day vividly.
“It was the day of the Ikeja cantonment bomb and mummy (my aunt) wasn’t coming back that night.
“She had gone out and then there was news of the bomb blast, and she wasn’t coming back.
“It was just daddy and me at home and the neighbours came around to assure us that she would be back the following morning.
“GSM wasn’t popular at that time so there wasn’t any way to reach her.
“That night, as soon as everyone left, I knew it was going to be doom’s day because this time it was just going to be daddy and me and he was going to have a field day.
“And he did have a field day.
“This time, on their matrimonial bed.
“The next morning when my mother miraculously returned, this man was the first person to rush to the door, give her a kiss, and hug her.
“I was shattered inside.
“Wondering how this person did a double role.
“I went into the kitchen and picked up a knife.
“I didn’t know what to do with it.
“One part of my mind said: ‘Stab yourself,’ while another part of it said: ‘Go and stab him.’
“I was still trying to make the decision and I started slitting my wrist when my mum entered the kitchen.
“I quickly dropped the knife and told her that I was trying to arrange the plates I washed earlier.
“That was the day I could define depression because I didn’t know I can die slowly.
“It continued until I was 17.”

Beyond Sight: Understanding the Dangers of Particulate Matter Pollution
Did you know that particle pollution, also known as particulate matter, is one of the leading causes of poor air quality and a significant threat to human health worldwide?
According to recent studies, exposure to particle pollution is responsible for millions of deaths every year, making it a silent but deadly killer. The tiny airborne particles come from a variety of sources, such as industrial activities, transportation, and natural sources, and can have severe effects on both the environment and human health.
Particle pollution, or particulate matter (PM), refers to tiny airborne particles that can harm human health and the environment. These particles come in different sizes and shapes, ranging from coarse dust to fine soot, and can be found indoors and outdoors.
But what are the sources of daily exposure to particulate matter?
Sources of Particle Pollution:
The different sources of particle pollution and their impact on the environment and human health:
- Industrial activities: Power plants, factories, and other industrial activities that burn fossil fuels or biomass can release significant amounts of particle pollution.
- Transportation: Vehicles that burn fossil fuels, such as cars, trucks, and buses, are a significant source of particle pollution. This is especially true in urban areas, where traffic is dense.
- Natural sources: Natural sources of particle pollution include wildfires, wind-blown dust, and sea salt.
Although the major source of PM particles may be outdoors, it also contributes to indoor PM. Indoor particulate matter originates from indoor activities, which include cooking, fireplaces, smoking, fuel combustion for heating, human activities, and burning incense.
Pollutants that cause Particle Pollution:
- Sulfates: Sulfates are a product of burning fossil fuels and can form small, fine particles in the air.
- Nitrates: Nitrates are a byproduct of fuel combustion, and they can form small, fine particles in the air.
- Black carbon: Black carbon is a component of fine particle pollution that comes from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuels, and biomass.
- Dust: Dust is a common source of coarse particle pollution.
What particle pollution does to our body?
Particle pollution can have several adverse effects on human health. The following are some of the health risks associated with exposure to particulate pollution:
- Respiratory problems: Particle pollution can cause respiratory problems, such as asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema.
- Cardiovascular problems: Exposure to particle pollution can increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular problems.
- Reproductive and developmental problems: Exposure to particle pollution can cause reproductive and developmental problems, such as low birth weight and premature birth.
- Cancer: Long-term exposure to fine particle pollution in people with certain preconditions can even lead to lung cancer.
Effects of Particle Pollution on the Environment:
Particle pollution can also have several adverse effects on the environment. These include:
- Acid rain: Sulfates and nitrates can contribute to the formation of acid rain, which can harm forests, lakes, and other ecosystems.
- Climate change: Black carbon can contribute to climate change by absorbing sunlight and warming the atmosphere.
Recent News About Particle Pollution:
According to a recent report published in The Lancet, over 330,000 people in India died in 2020 due to exposure to particulate matter resulting from fossil fuel combustion. The study also found that the mortality rate from exposure to particle pollution was highest in Asia, followed by Africa. With a high reliance on fuels, average household concentrations of particulate matter exceeded the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendation by 27-fold nationally and 35-fold in rural homes, said the report.
The report highlights the need for urgent action to address the issue, which is a major public health challenge in India.
Government Actions to Reduce Particle Pollution:
Governments around the world have taken several actions to reduce particle pollution. For example:
- The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set National Ambient Air Quality Standards for particulate matter.
- The European Union has set limits on particulate matter in outdoor air.
- The Chinese government has launched a "war on pollution" and set targets to reduce particulate matter pollution.
Ways to Limit Exposure to Particulate Pollution:
- Individuals can also take steps to limit their exposure to particulate pollution. These include:
- Using public transportation or carpooling instead of driving alone.
- Using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs to reduce energy consumption.
- Avoiding burning wood or trash.
- Using air purifiers in homes and offices.
Particle pollution is a severe issue that requires immediate action from individuals and governments alike. While we may not have control over some of the sources of particulate pollution, such as industrial activities and transportation, we can take steps to reduce our exposure to it. By installing emerging green technologies like air purifiers, using public transportation or cycling, and supporting government policies prioritizing clean air, we can play a vital role in reducing particle pollution and protecting our health and the environment.

You’ll be cussing at the moon when forced to pick between the critically-lauded lobster rolls — served warm with lobster beurre rouge or cold with tarragon and grainy mustard mayo at Cusser’s, which began as a street-side takeout window at the Back Bay’s upscale Mooncusser Fish House.

When a company has dated or ineffective Governance Policies, it is a recipe for many unnecessary challenges that this company will undoubtedly face. Without modern and effective governance policies and procedures in place, organizations are burnt with ad hoc and unclear processes, poor data quality, increasing vulnerability to data theft and security issues. This increases the likelihood of regulatory violations, and, of course, leads toward skyrocketing information management, litigation, and remediation costs.
In today’s marketplace, data and the knowledge it brings are gold. From artificial intelligence, machine learning systems, and predictive analytics, companies and organizations can now make a business forward strategy that can change the way products are marketed and customers are acquired; however, without effective and modern regulatory requirements and practices in place, these insights can be undercut.
When it comes to managing an effective information governance program, here are three key concepts to keep in mind:
1. Choose Proper Leadership
When it comes to choosing the individual, who will act as the figurative lead of this information governance team, they need to have the “authority” to ensure that the findings and structures generated by the team are all encompassing within the company. Many times, these programs are developed in a siloed department with a manager whose “title” only carries as far the third cubicle down the aisle. They aren’t on that “shot callers” email group and aren’t a default member in the meetings those emails lead to. Rather, their reports are forwarded, skimmed, and lightly summarized in those meetings. Thus, the management of the information governance team needs to have the type of role within the organization where they are in constant contact with a wide variety of team leaders from across multiple fields within the organization.
2. Build the Ideal Information Governance Steering Committee
The information governance steering committee should be formed with a prescribed set of goals in mind. Rather than looking to train people to serve a purpose on the committee, the team should be formed around people who already demonstrate these skills within the workplace. This relates back to having the leader of the team have the type of organizational role that exposes them to employees from a variety of departments and the authority to pull them into this team fold.
3. Information Governance is a Core Business Function, not a Problem to Solve
Often in the world of business everything gets turned into a problem/objective that needs to be accomplished and is seen as having a definitive endpoint. When it comes to information governance, it’s important to phrase the framework of both the committee as well as how it is pitched to the organization that information governance is an ever evolving and optimizable function. Thus, with keeping that ever-growing mindset at the forefront of the team’s mission, a company never sees their process becoming outdated and ineffective.
Lastly, in the spirit of ever-growing and ever-evolving, it’s important to remember that each of these key concepts is overlapping and work best in tandem with one another. When the right leader, with the right team, with the right message comes together, an organization can see a truly organic and dynamic change in the way its information governance program evolves and aids the company in its growth.

Big Solar and Big Wind are now as much to blame as Big Oil for a slow reaction to climate change. Big procreators are culpable, too.


A Wichita school district official says attendance at Southeast High School — and consequently, its graduation rate — has suffered since the school moved to the far reaches of the district in 2016.
Southeast High posted the lowest graduation rate in the district last year, with only 65.4 percent of students graduating in four years, according to data from the Kansas Department of Education.
Dissecting the data into subgroups reveals more shocking numbers: Among white males at Southeast High, fewer than 47 percent graduated in four years. Among black males, only 48.1 percent graduated in four years.
Southeast's graduation rate has dropped steadily over the past several years, from nearly 78 percent in 2013. In comparison, the Wichita school district's average graduation rate rose slightly last year, to nearly 74 percent.
Gil Alvarez, assistant superintendent of secondary schools, said it's hard to pinpoint precisely why more Southeast students are struggling to graduate. But "the change in venue" has resulted in more students missing school more often, he said.
At the old location at Lincoln and Edgemoor, "children had the opportunity to walk to school, so tardies would not have turned into attendance problems," Alvarez said. "If a kid now does not make the bus and doesn't have a car to get there, it's not walking distance. So that becomes a challenge."
In 2013, the Wichita school board voted to build a new Southeast High at 127th Street East and Pawnee, about 7 miles from its old location. The school, which opened in 2016, was the largest and most expensive project of the district's 2008 bond issue, costing about $65 million.
Some lawmakers and neighborhood groups actively fought the plan to move the school out of its diverse, low-income neighborhood, saying students and parents would have a harder time getting to class, conferences and activities.
"I knew from personal experience that moving Southeast as far as they were moving it would have a negative effect on attendance," said Brandon Johnson, who represents District 1 on the Wichita City Council. His district includes East and Heights high schools.
In 2013, before he joined the council, he urged Wichita school board members to renovate and expand Southeast High rather than relocate it.
Johnson graduated from Northeast Magnet High School, which was relocated in 2012 from an inner-city neighborhood at 17th and Chautauqua to a new building in Bel Aire, near 53rd Street North and Rock Road.
"If something happened in the morning — if my mom was sick or had to be at work early — I could walk to school and still be on time or only slightly late," Johnson said of the previous Northeast Magnet location. "It was close enough that it was easy to get a friend to take me a school.
"When you move a school way out of the neighborhood, it makes it harder for some families," he said, despite district-funded bus transportation. "You have to make sure they catch the bus on time, and if they don't, there aren't a whole lot of options.
"I'm saddened to hear that that's happened."
In 2012, about 43 percent of Southeast High School students lived less than 2.5 miles from school. About one-third of those students regularly walked, officials said. At the new location, fewer than 10 percent of students live within 2.5 miles of the school.
Alvarez, the assistant superintendent, said schools continually emphasize the importance of regular attendance because students with better attendance graduate on time at higher rates.
Chronic absenteeism — defined as missing 10 percent or more of school time, or about four days per nine-week period — is "something we really need to pay attention to," Alvarez said. "Because if students aren't engaged and connected within the school, that could tend to lead to more dropouts."
Transportation is a commonly cited reason for missing school.
Last fall, the Wichita district announced a new partnership with Wichita Transit that lets students buy discounted city bus passes for traveling to school and elsewhere. That program, aimed at students at seven schools who don't qualify for yellow-bus service through the district, serves East, North and West high schools as well as four middle schools.
Southeast High School, which is close to the Butler County line, is outside the area served by city buses.
Wichita school officials say raising the graduation rate is one of their top priorities for the next five years, a goal laid out recently in the district's new strategic plan.
Wichita's graduation rate stood at about 74 percent in 2017 — significantly below the statewide average of nearly 87 percent. Graduation rates vary greatly within the district, from 65.4 percent at Southeast to 94.6 percent at Northeast Magnet.
At West High, a school with demographics similar to Southeast's and a higher percentage of students on free or reduced-price lunch, the graduation rate last year was 70.6 percent. Among white males at West, the rate was 57.4 percent; among black males, 74.1 percent.
Leaders haven't said precisely how they plan to raise the graduation rate at Southeast or districtwide, but board members have mentioned using an expected increase in state funding to pay for more secondary-school counselors and programs for students at risk of dropping out.
The district recently announced administrative changes at several high schools, including Southeast. Bruce Deterding, principal at Heights High School, will move to Southeast this fall. Southeast principal Lori Doyle will move to North High.
Next year, each of the district's seven comprehensive high schools will have an on-site learning center where students will be able to make up credits during the regular school day, Alvarez said. In addition, schools plan to focus more attention on ninth-graders, alerting students and family members early on if they're in danger of falling behind on graduation requirements.
"We don't want one failed credit to turn into two or three," he said. "We want to look at those early indicators in ninth grade, and not wait until junior or senior year to say, 'Hurry up and get these done.'"
Johnson said he hopes district officials dig into reasons for Southeast's low graduation rate, including attendance and transportation issues.
"I hope the district and parents can find a way to get their students to school, because attendance is key to success and our young people need that education," he said. "I hope we can get creative and find solutions."

Searching for Rehab Near Me in Beverly Hills?
When to Consider Going to Rehab
The decision to go to rehab due to substance abuse issues is not a decision anyone should take lightly. In fact, when possible, it’s a decision that you should always make with trusted friends or family members or addiction experts that can help guide you in the right direction. However, certain tell-tale signs indicate that you should commit to a comprehensive rehab program. Here are some of those signs:
Problems maintaining your relationships with your loved ones
Your loved ones are often the people in your life that can notice when something is wrong with you. If your substance abuse is negatively impacting your relationship with your friends and family members, then it’s without question time to consider committing to an addiction treatment program that can help to rebuild these critical relationships.
You’ve lost your job, or there is a risk that you may lose your job
Over time, your drug or alcohol addiction is something that will harm your work life. You may find that you’re unable to keep your job or jeopardize your job, which could lead to financial disaster for many people.
Your physical and psychological health is starting to suffer
There is no question that your physical and psychological health will suffer as you spiral deeper into addiction. If you’re already struggling with mental health issues, there is a more substantial possibility that your mental health issues could be exacerbated due to your substance abuse problems. When you select a top-rated rehab facility, you can rest assured that your treatment team will provide you with the physical and psychological help you need.
Rehab Near Me in Beverly Hills
The premise and focus of alcohol and drug rehab is to help you work through and overcome your drug or alcohol addiction. The primary way you will do this is by actively and honestly participating in different forms of addiction therapy. Here are a few examples of treatment that you will likely join when you commit to an addiction treatment program:
Certain events may happen in your life that you don’t feel comfortable sharing with other people in a group setting. This is where individual therapy will be incredibly beneficial. During individual therapy, you can have a personal conversation with your treatment team about these issues that may be impacting your sobriety. Individual therapy is also an excellent opportunity for you to check in with your treatment team and make any adjustments to your treatment program.
Group therapy provides you with a unique opportunity to interact with other people working through their own addiction treatment programs. Through sharing and listening to the experiences of others, you may be able to grow more in your understanding of addiction and the negative effect that it can have on your life. Further, you may also be able to make personal connections with other people in your group, which can help you grow your system of support. Your support system will become an invaluable tool and group of people you can turn to when you’re struggling and vice versa.
Do you have issues with your family members due to your addiction? If the answer is yes, then you wouldn’t be the first person to experience something like this. However, when you commit to an addiction treatment program, your family member may be more open to redeveloping a relationship with you. During family therapy, you can begin to talk about the issues that may have led to the breakdown in your relationship. From there, you can take steps to reunite and restore your relationship. You may feel more focused and driven to continue your recovery journey by making these connections again.
The genesis of addiction for many people is often experiencing some form of trauma. This is the leading reason why trauma-based therapy can benefit you during your time in treatment. You will work closely with your recovery team to explore these traumatic events in a way where you will be able to manage the negative emotions better that you may be feeling. From there, you can start to come to peace with these events so that they are no longer triggering events in your life.
Detox Near Me in Beverly Hills
In most cases, your treatment team will strongly recommend beginning your recovery journey in a drug or alcohol detox program. This is because there is a strong possibility that you will start to experience withdrawal symptoms, which will make it all but impossible for you to care for yourself properly. Therefore, it’s never recommended that you attempt to go through the detox process alone.
Withdrawal symptoms typically set in within just a few hours from the time you last consume your substance of choice, so you must reach out for help as soon as possible. If you opt to commit to Muse Treatment Center, you can rest assured that our intake team will work quickly to get you immediate care. You can expect to experience the worst of your withdrawal symptoms within the first 72 hours of your time in detox. However, you will begin to feel more like yourself toward the end of the week. At this point, you can now start to refocus on the steps that you need to take as you begin to work through the different aspects of your recovery journey.
To make your time in detox less stressful or traumatic, your treatment team may recommend specific medication. For example, certain medications can help you better manage the cravings you may experience well into your sobriety. Also, some medications can block the influence of drugs or alcohol if you experience a relapse. Your treatment team will speak with you more about your medication options.
Here are some tips on the withdrawal process for an Ambien addiction:
Inpatient Rehab For Drugs and Alcohol
Many people complete a drug or alcohol detox program and feel the only way to truly maintain their sobriety is to commit to inpatient treatment or a residential treatment program. That is because inpatient and residential treatment provides the same type of around-the-clock care you received when you were in one of the local detox centers. You can easily transition into a Beverly Hills rehab from detox immediately after completing that program. You will have the peace of mind of knowing that you will have a custom treatment program that will help you reach the goals you have for your recovery.
Outpatient Rehab Beverly Hills
Suppose you’re unable to commit to an inpatient addiction treatment program due to work or school responsibilities or simply because you don’t like the restrictions with an inpatient or a residential treatment program. Or if you’re struggling with addiction and looking for treatment options other than an inpatient program in Los Angeles County, you should consider committing to outpatient addiciton treatment. An outpatient treatment program will provide you with more flexibility than inpatient addiction and substance abuse treatment. Outpatient treatment programs are still over individualized treatment. However, you will be able to work and go to school when you’re in treatment which can make you feel more at ease when it comes to the premise of treatment. Your treatment team will work with you to develop these customized treatment plans and continue to check in with you to ensure you still feel comfortable as you go along. Two of the most popular outpatient treatment programs are an intensive outpatient program and a general outpatient program. The main difference between the two treatment plans is the hourly commitment you will need to make each week to treatment.
Muse Addiction Treatment Center Near Me in Beverly Hills
When you’re ready to overcome your alcohol addiction or drug addiction and want to partner with one of the top rehab centers in Beverly Hills, California, you can rest assured that you will find the support you need when you come to Muse Treatment Center for addiction treatment and care. Our alcohol and drug rehab program options are individualized, meaning that you will receive the personalized care you need during your recovery journey.

In West Virginia v. EPA, the U.S. Supreme Court slayed a phantom, a regulation that does not exist. Why? The justices in the majority could not contain their zeal to hollow out the EPA’s ability to lessen suffering from climate change in ways that impinge the profits of entrenched fossil fuel interests.
In doing so, the activist justices reached out to interpret the Clean Air Act despite the Court’s traditional restraint in deciding only cases where plaintiffs suffering individualized harm present a focused, redressable dispute. The Court has been particularly strict in foreclosing judicial review when environmental plaintiffs complain about prospective rules and actions. But today’s decision eagerly engaged with the speculative harms presented by West Virginia and coal companies. They were not harmed by a regulation that never took effect and that never will be implemented.
In its “what if” analysis, the Court claimed for itself the power that presidents historically exercised through selecting agency officials to implement the administration’s agenda. This decision narrows the interpretive authority of those appointed officials, such as the EPA Administrator. It substitutes the judiciary for the executive branch in fleshing out broad congressional commands, such as “prescribe regulations …

These days, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission can no longer be described as a technocratic, under-the-radar agency that sets policies on energy infrastructure and market rules, rates, and standards.
As energy policy has become front-page news — driven by climate change and recent price volatility — FERC has begun updating its regulations to meet new exigencies. The agency has taken big steps this spring to support affordability and a transition to cleaner energy, including proposing updates to the way it permits natural gas pipelines and beginning to overhaul how regions plan and pay for the expansion of electricity transmission infrastructure.
These moves have provoked controversy because their stakes are high: Billions of dollars of infrastructure expenditures are on the table. What gets built, who pays, who hosts this infrastructure, and who makes …
This op-ed was originally published by Bloomberg Law.
In November 2021, over 70% of New Yorkers voted to amend the state's constitution to explicitly protect New Yorkers' fundamental right to clean air, clean water, and a healthful environment. New York thus joins Montana and Pennsylvania in enshrining robust constitutional environmental rights in the state constitution.
The first cases making claims under the new constitutional provision are now being filed, and states contemplating the adoption of environmental rights will be closely watching how courts define and apply New York's amendment. Those states include New Mexico, Maine, and Maryland.
Unsurprisingly, corporate defendants argue that the new right doesn't change anything. They claim that the environmental right is not self-executing, i.e., that the constitutional right provides no new protections and is instead defined and limited by pre-existing environmental laws. They could not be more wrong and courts in New …

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has been called the most important environmental agency that no one has heard of. Recently, the D.C. Circuit decided two undramatic FERC cases that illustrate the agency's environmental significance. One involved a bailout to coal and nuclear plants, the other involved water quality.
The first case, Turlock Irrigation District v. FERC, involved FERC's role in approving licensing and relicensing of hydroelectric dams. It also raised an important issue about the role of state governments in approving federal projects and licenses.
Under the Clean Water Act, dam owners need to get certifications from state authorities that the dam will not …

The Supreme Court on Tuesday unanimously struck down a Washington state law that was aimed at helping federal contract employees get workers' compensation for diseases arising from cleaning up nuclear waste.
The case, United States v. Washington, concerned the federally controlled Hanford nuclear reservation, a decommissioned facility that spans 586 square miles near the Columbia River. The reservation, formerly used by the federal government in the production of nuclear weapons, presents unique hazards to cleanup workers.
Under longstanding law, the federal government is immune from application of state law, including liability rules, on federal property located within a state, unless Congress waives the immunity. As Justice Stephen Breyer explained at the outset of his opinion for the court: "The Constitution's Supremacy Clause generally immunizes the Federal Government from state laws that directly …
Any high school student can tell you that water follows the path of least resistance. A similar rule might be said to apply to corporate polluters and small government ideologues who now see the federal judiciary — especially a U.S. Supreme Court stocked with Trump-era judicial activists — as the path of least resistance in pursuing their agenda of the "deconstruction of the administrative state." The first case they have teed up for the October session of oral arguments is Sackett v. EPA, which the Court could use to gut the Clean Water Act.
Center for Progressive Reform Member Scholar William Buzbee is helping lead the defense of this bedrock environmental law. Working with the Georgetown Law Center's Environmental Law and Justice Clinic, Buzbee authored an amicus brief for members of Congress who support a strong Clean Water Act. In all, 167 members of Congress signed on …
On June 23, California's Air Resources Board (CARB) — the state's air pollution control agency — is holding a public hearing on its comprehensive roadmap for achieving the state's daunting climate goal: carbon neutrality by 2045 at the latest, a goal established by Gov. Gavin Newsom in a 2018 executive order.
Although states are increasingly adopting 100 percent clean electricity targets, California's goal goes considerably farther, covering emissions from the entire economy, including transportation, industry, buildings, waste disposal, and agriculture. With its Draft 2022 Scoping Plan Update (Draft Scoping Plan), the state has now set pen to paper in sketching potential pathways for zeroing out the state's greenhouse gas emissions.
The Draft Scoping Plan provides a general overview of four scenarios by which the state might reach "net zero" emissions. The Draft Scoping Plan includes few details …
On June 23, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) will hold its first public hearing on its draft plan (the Draft 2022 Scoping Plan) for achieving the state's climate goals and for getting to carbon neutrality no later than 2045. Including actions that prioritize California's overburdened and underserved communities will be vital to the success of the proposed plan.
Many across the state are expressing concern that the proposed course of action in the draft plan will be too slow, achieving carbon neutrality by 2045 instead of by 2035, the earlier target Gov. Gavin Newsom directed the agency to consider. Although the proposed approach would reduce the demand for and use of fossil fuels significantly, it would allow existing oil and gas industry activities that disproportionately harm low-income communities of color to continue indefinitely.
The U.S. Supreme Court's upcoming ruling on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's power to regulate greenhouse gases from coal-fired power plants offers an unwelcome opportunity for its conservative majority to advance the former Trump administration's goal of "deconstructing the administrative state."
The vehicle for advancing the Trump agenda is the obscure "major questions" doctrine, under which the Court insists that congressional delegations of power to regulatory agencies must be made with pinpoint precision on questions of "vast economic and political significance."
The Court invented the major questions doctrine about 20 years ago in a case involving the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's authority to regulate cigarettes, but it had used it only very rarely to overturn agency actions until Democratic presidents began to write regulations that aggressively protected public health, worker safety, and the environment.
The doctrine is at the heart of …
I’m thrilled to share that the Center for Progressive Reform features prominently in the pages of a forthcoming anthology of last year’s best writing on environmental law.
Three of five articles selected for inclusion in the 2022 edition of the anthology were written or co-written by our esteemed Member Scholars — law professors who generously donate their time and expertise to help us achieve our mission to create a more responsive and inclusive government, a healthier environment, and a just society. A fourth article was authored by a Member Scholar who is on leave from the center while serving in the Biden administration.
The competition was fierce. Every year, leading environmental law professors and practitioners review hundreds of articles in the previous year’s law review literature — on topics ranging from land use and development to energy and natural resources — and select the best of the …

The interesting thing about comic book speculation is that the moves get crazier the longer you observe the comic book market. As recently, as of March 3, 2022, some “speculator” purchased Venom: Lethal Protector #1 for around $24,999! Yep, a down payment on a house for a minor key and book that is barely 30 years old. Why? The purchase was for a perfect copy of Venom: Lethal Protector #1 with a grade of 10.0 mint. This was “lethal speculation” pure and simple.
The concept of a perfect 10 is flawed in the first place. Perfection? Even the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen in my life did not rank perfect 10s. No, this is simply delusional wishful thinking appealing to a crowd that has the money to pay for perfection. I wonder how many copies of this book were sent to CGC before the seller hit a “perfect 10?”
The consequence for all lower grades of Venom like the measly 9.8; they are simply run of the mill and not as unique to own. By instituting this perfect grade, the seller has set the pinnacle for this book going forward for others to try to achieve.
Did the “speculator” who bought Venom: Lethal Protector #1 in 10 mint grade make a good purchase? What price did this acolyte of Venom pay for the perfect book?
Venom Lethal Protector #1 GCC 10 mint
Venom: Lethal Protector #1 CGC 10 MINT
What a waste of money for this book at $18,000 down, rough estimate. Why not buy Amazing Spider-Man #1 grade 4.0 or better yet, a low-grade Amazing Fantasy #15. These big books will continue to make a big splash far into the future.
This speculator wasted a great deal of money on a marginal key. Money is not equal to everyone, the uber-wealthy among us can afford these kinds of excessive purchases, but for working-class speculators, this should illicit smears.
Verification – what is that?
On top of opportunity lost, you have to question; is it truly a 10.0? Assuming this book is legit is a mistake by folks purchasing on eBay. Though I am not a huge fan of auction houses, they do provide a vital role in eliminating as many fraudulent pieces from the marketplace.
I know in this age of eschewing institutions, why bother? But auction houses do one good thing very well. They provide another layer of verification that what you’re buying is real. Especially important with big money collectibles trading hands.
|Comic||Grade||Price Current||CGC Census|
|Venom Lethal Protector #1||10.00||$24,999 (estimated best offer purchase)||14091 issues total|
These are the kind of speculation shenanigans that make the news and are fun to write about. For my readers and fellow speculators, I strongly advise caution when buying on the internet. Auction houses like Heritage Auctions are expensive, but they provide a vital role of gatekeeper and verifier of collectibles.
Most truly huge purchases happen on these sights and for good reason. If you’re buying it face-to-face that is a different story, also, most of the LCS have solid integrity when it comes to their inventory. That said, inspect everything about a comic book. Don’ take the key comic book for granted that it even has all the pages intact.
Speculation will never go out of style; humanity craves the action. If not speculating on tulips to the point of “Tulipmania” in Amsterdam in 1634; then it is speculation on comic books like a mint copy of Venom Lethal Protector #1 in the 21st Century.
Please make sure, my fellow speculators, that you avoid this kind of “lethal speculation.”
What would you have paid? Let us know in the comments!

About African Expeditions
Over 30 Years of Adventure
African Expeditions was born from a humble idea back in 1987. We are a family-owned and run business that proudly wears the title of Pioneers in the Self-Drive Safari Market in Africa.
We were the first self-drive operator to offer full logistical support in extremely remote areas throughout Southern Africa.
We really have "been there, done that"
We pride ourselves in offering the very best Africa has to offer to our clients. We do not work through 3rd parties and firmly believe in talking directly and honestly with all of our clients.
We take the “been there, done that” approach. We are not travel agents selling destinations we know nothing about. We have been to every single destination and done every single route we offer on our safaris.

"best hands in the industry"
I for one can highly recommend African Expeditions, having used them exclusively for our numerous client ‘spanbou’ events when I was still part of the marketing team for Paarl Media in the early 2000s. JJ is a people person of note, extremely good at breaking the ice, drawing everyone in on the excitement of what lays ahead with his wonderful sense of humour, very good at catering to and dealing with the various egos that surround the 4×4 scene. With JJ, it is always safety first, and him and his team go to great lengths to ensure that it is maintained for the duration of the trip. A cosy and comfortable bushcamp set up in advance always greeted our arrival, right down to warm water shower facilities. There is a level of professionalism to everything that JJ does that surpasses that of all his competitors, and for this reason we used him exclusively. We knew our much valued and esteemed clients were in the best hands in the industry.

"A trip I will never forget"
Johann du Toit is a wonderful tour guide. Our trip to Lesotho 2009 in the snow was wonderful. A trip I will never forget and my husband and kids had a blast. Then they were small and Johan made sure that the convoy was always safe and that the kids were always happy and well. His motto safety first always made me feel very safe. Lovely memory and lovely people. Thanks African Expeditions always had a great time on our trips. Sending regards to all cheers.

[post_thumbnail] Rep. Vito Barbieri support lifting restrictions on Do Not Call list.
Idaho landline telephone companies may once again have the ability to make solicitation calls to their existing customers. House Bill 55 passed in the Idaho House of Representatives Wednesday, 65-5, and will now go on to the Senate.
“There has been a lot of confusion about this bill, and some explanation is warranted,” said Rep. Vito Barbieri, R-Dalton Gardens. Barbieri spoke in favor of the bill, which, if it becomes law, will allow landline telephone companies to once again call their existing customers and solicit other services. “Current law only permits this type of call to businesses that have an ongoing relationship with the telephone company,” Barbieri noted. “This bill will treat all businesses the same; it does not discriminate.”
Last month, the House State Affairs Committee was introduced to the legislation by Jim Clark, a former member of the House of Representatives who now works for Frontier Communications. “My company is trying to move in to the high-speed Internet business, and this bill will allow us to do that more effectively. As is stands right now, we can’t even call our existing customers,” Clark told the committee.
That’s why he and his company, along with CenturyLink communications, took up efforts to amend a law that dates back to 2000, a law that is often referred to as the “Do Not Call” law.
Back in 1999 and 2000, US West was the dominant landline telephone company in Idaho. And in 2000, the Legislature and Gov. Dirk Kempthorne agreed that allowing US West to continue to place soliciting calls to its existing customer base gave the company an unfair advantage over other telecommunication companies that might emerge in the state, so the “Do Not Call” law was enacted.
But today, to note two examples, things are different. The US West telephone business in Idaho has since been purchased by Louisiana-based CenturyLink, which now combines telephone and broadband Internet service. And what used to be Verizon landline telephone services is now Frontier Communications.
Yet Frontier and CenturyLink are still beholden to the “Do Not Call” law, even though they are offering both telephone and Internet service and despite the fact that cable television companies are now competing against them, and offering landline telephone service.
“It is only reasonable to allow these telephone companies to call their existing customers,” Barbieri told IdahoReporter.com at that time.
Yet, according to reports from the Associated Press, the Idaho attorney general’s office may prove to be a strong voice of opposition to Clark’s proposals.
Despite the approval of the House, the Idaho attorney general’s office has been opposed to such deregulation.“People didn’t take the time to sign up on the ‘Do Not Call’ list to have the phone company now call them during their dinner hour,” noted Brett DeLange to the AP. DeLange heads up the Idaho attorney general’s consumer protection bureau, and said that “our office has never had one person call us and say, ‘We’d like to be called some more.’”

Happy B'day Kristi
One of the things she has been wanting are Copic markers, so her mother is starting her out with some sets. I decided to stretch her Copic horizons by getting her the air brush system (not the compressor just the cans, I love Kristi, but not that much).
Well this leads me to this card, I took out my Copics and air brush system (yes I have the compressor) and had a go at creating a background. It's not the greatest, but then I haven't had time to play with it in a while. After I had created the background I went looking for some stamps to use and found these felt flowers that I had cut out with Flower Fusion #4 die from Papertrey, perfect. I went through my stash of brads and used them for centers and stamped the stem and leaves from Flower Fusion #5. The sentiment is also from Papertrey the Simple Sentiments set.
Now for the confession. When I went to stamp the stem and leaves I started with the center flower and goofed it up, luckily since it is a clear stamp I could re stamp and fix it (sort of). The flower to the left I had to add some extra leaves and the flower to the right I drew in the stem and added leaves. As a lady I used to work with so long ago would say "I'll never be noticed from a galloping horse"
Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.

It’s the most spook-tacular time of the year! Halloween is here and celebrities are transforming themselves with crazy costumes, wigs and makeup as they step out at parties and go trick or treating.
While Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake may have won the prize for 2019’s most hilarious costumes — she dressed as ‘NSync-era JT along with a blonde Afro, while he was a microphone and four of their pals went as the other members of the boy band — several other stars pulled out all the stops.
Demi Lovato donned not one but two dazzling costumes, first as a modern-day interpretation of Marie Antoinette, then as a female Pennywise from Stephen King’s horror-filled It.
At the Casamigos Halloween party, held at cofounder Mike Meldman’s Beverly Hills home on Friday, October 25, Lisa Rinna stole the show as she channeled Jennifer Lopez in her iconic plunging green Versace silk chiffon dress from the Grammy Awards in 2000.
The theme for the night was Psychedelic Spirits, celebrating 50 years after the summer of ’69, with plenty of stars including Cindy Crawford getting into spirit of the era with neon-bright and bold-print outfits.
The following night, the stars of American Horror Story celebrated its 100th episode at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in L.A. Halsey and new boyfriend Evan Peters made their red carpet debut as a couple at the event, with the pair dressing up as iconic singing duo Sonny and Cher.
Other stars took to Instagram to show off their Halloween outfits, with Elizabeth Hurley donning a yellow jumpsuit in homage to the movie assassin known as The Bride, who was played by Uma Thurman in Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill films.
Heidi Klum, who’s the queen of Halloween thanks to the over-the-top costumes she wears to her annual party, kicked off the celebrations by sharing a photo of herself as a firework covered head-to-toe in glitter as she kissed her new husband, Tom Kaulitz.

IMPHAL, November 26: Residents of Ukhrul town held a candlelight vigil today decrying the series of bomb attacks perpetrated within the district.
The vigil was held at Gandhi Chowk from 3.30 pm and continued well into late evening and was organized by a facebook group called, “Tangkhuls on Facebook”.
There was a strong participation from the public and mainly from the student community.
The organizers read out to the crowd an appeal which mentioned that Ukhrul residents are deeply disturbed by the recent attacks and have witnessed killings in eight bombings in a span of two months. Such acts where innocent lives are put under threat are alien to our culture and prayed that whatever issue and problem arising can be overcome through dialogue.
It fervently appealed to all the concerned parties to shun any form of violence and the district administrators to provide enough security to the public so that such untoward incidents do not happen again in the future.
Further, it mentioned that no breakthrough have been made till date in all cases of bomb explosions and that the district administration is not sensitive enough to the prevalent situation specially where three explosions occurred within a kilometre radius of the Mini Secretariat and just few metres away from the Reserve Police Force, Ukhrul.
The appeal further read that it is also very shocking that there has been no reaction from the three elected representatives (MLAs) despite such dreadful incidents.
It also goes out to them to extend their concern in thoughts and deeds.
The members of Tangkhuls on Facebook condemned any form of killings and bombings that have caused untold miseries and expressed their heartfelt sympathy to the victims.

The last of the melons in this CSA
We've bombarded you with cantaloupe and watermelon these past few weeks. This week, the honeydew ends the melon season. Next week, squash will replace the melons and red sparkle apples will replace the goodland. I'm already excited!
The cooler nights and more moderate days have brought the greens back! Spinach and spring mix grace this week's CSA. If the spinach is more than your family can eat, just rinse, saute, cool and freeze for future use. I love to toss spinach, fresh or frozen, into most of the soups and sauces that I make in the winter.
CSA FULL SHARE SEPT 12
1 honey dew, organic
4 lbs goodland apples, spray free
2 green peppers, spray free and lfp certified
12 hot peppers, spray free and lfp certified
4 lbs tomatoes, spray free and lfp certified
1 bag spinach, spray free
1 bag spring mix, spray free
1 pint cherry tomatoes, spray free
CSA HALF SHARE SEPT 12
2 lbs goodland apples
1 green pepper
6 hot peppers
2 lbs tomatoes
1 bag spring mix
1 pack cherry tomatoes
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you have too many tomatoes, just freeze them. Sure you can roast, dehydrate, can or make sauce, but let's be realistic. We're busy people you and I. If you have no time for the aforementioned tomato preservation methods, just freezer them. No need to wash, blanch or otherwise fuss with them. Just chuck them in a freezer safe bag or container, close and put them in the freezer. This winter when your soup, stews or sauces call out for Manitoba tomatoes, simply rinse them under hot tap water and rub the skins off. You can then choose to let them thaw in a colander to drain some of their water off, or put them directly into whatever you are making. It really couldn't be simpler. And trust me, in the winter a Manitoba tomato from the freezer adds a beautiful summery taste to whatever dish you are preparing.

If you guys are still looking for good shows this season, then I must recommend Welcome to the Ballroom. It’s definitely not for those who dislike standard shounen-sports stories or are too bothered by its exaggerated character designs (necks!), but HOLY LORD THE SAKUGA. THE SAKUGA. The animation is just so impressive, it succeeds at giving the characters a lot of life and personality to them. And apart from a brief snippet, it hasn’t even gotten to the dance competitions yet, so I don’t know how much spectacle I can take. The episode has some still frames here and there, but I hope that means that they’re pouring the sakuga budget in the right places rather than the visuals possibly falling apart in the future.
I’ve read the manga and the episode is still not in the best part of the story yet, but if this debut is any indication I have very high hopes for this show. Also, like most of the manga fans, I am especially waiting for best girl Chinatsu to appear.
The other shows I’m going to watch are Made in Abyss and Knight’s & Magic. I’ve heard some… stuff… about Made in Abyss, but it’s looking interesting, and the background art is OHMYGAD SO BEAUTIFUL so I’m in. Knight’s & Magic had waaaaaaaaay too many things happening in the first episode that it was hard to keep up, but Ernesti was really cute, and it has the director behind Shounen Maid (one of my faves last year), so I’m looking forward to see where it goes. I just hope its pace relaxes soon.
I’ll also continue to watch My Hero Academia as I enjoyed the previous arc a lot (you can’t not love the Yutapon). I’ll also continue to watch Boruto which isn’t trying to be original but it’s proving to be entertaining so far. Apparently the upcoming episodes will adapt Naruto Gaiden, which was pretty enjoyably ridiculous but it has Sarada so I’m in.
Edit: So I found myself watching Altair: A Record of Battles, and my first reaction was like “DAT U ARSLAN?” I’m still starting it, but the show has Sid as OP and it has this Arslan vibes and it sounds interesting, so I’ll probably stick with it. (Edit 2: So I finished watching the first ep, and I’m digging the aesthetic sense of this show. The story itself was decent, but entertaining enough. The ED is waaaaaay too pretty to be real tho.)

It is debated whether the use of herbal supplements in endurance sports, in order to have a better performance,
is correct or not, from the perspective of both as safety and as effectiveness. In this review we try to find out if the most
common herbal supplements (Echinacea, Rhodiola, Ginseng) are effective in the improvement of performance or in the
modulation of the immune system. According to the results of our review, the prevalent effect is adaptogenic rather than
ergogenic, with a better tolerance of the exercise induced stress, related to enhancement of the whole immune system and
decrease of the oxidative damage.
