In this article: Learn how to make your own strawberry preserves with this super simple strawberry preserves recipe (includes canning directions!)
I love the taste of fresh strawberries and by making homemade strawberry preserves I can have that same fresh strawberry taste all year long!
You may be wondering what the difference is between jam, preserves, and jelly. Many times they are used interchangeably, when they are actually different.
Jelly is made using fruit juice. There are no chunks in jelly. Jelly is usually more transparent and has pectin to help it hold its shape.
Jam is made using pureed fruit and usually has the addition of pectin. It is thicker than jelly with a more fruit taste.
Preserves are made using whole or fruit chunks. The juice released from the fruit, mixed with the sugar, create a syrup/jam around the fruit pieces. Preserves don’t usually have pectin, as they are gelled in the sugar syrup.
The following strawberry preserves recipe is so simple, it only has 3 ingredients! I’ve also included canning directions so you can enjoy it all year long!
How to Make Strawberry Preserves
This recipe works for both frozen or fresh strawberries. Sometimes it’s easier to just wash, cut, and freeze strawberries in the middle of harvest season and can them at a later date.
I have made these preserves using both fresh and frozen strawberries and the result were the same.
Supplies Needed to Make This Strawberry Preserves Recipe:
Strawberry Preserves Ingredients:
9 Cups Strawberries (halved or quartered if large)
4 Cups Sugar (I use raw cane sugar)
4 T Lemon Juice
Strawberry Preserves Supplies:
Large stock pot
½ pint jars with rings and lids
To Make Strawberry Preserves:
Step 1: Place your strawberries in a large pot and stir in the sugar and lemon juice. If you are using fresh berries you can let them sit in the sugar for a few hours first if you want. If you are using frozen berries go ahead and skip to the next step.
Step 2: Turn the pot on to medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir frequently during this step to prevent burning.
Step 3: Once the berries are at a rolling boil, turn the heat down to medium and simmer the berries, stirring occasionally, until the syrup has thickened and sticks to the back of a metal spoon.
If you have a candy thermometer, you want to boil the strawberries until it reaches about 220 F.
This step may take 15-30 minutes depending on other factors such as altitude, heat, etc.
When the preserves have thickened remove from the heat.
How to Can Strawberry Preserves:
This easy recipe can be canned using the boiling water bath canning method.
To can your preserves you will need a large canning pot with a jar rack. Since these are small half-pint jars, you can use a large stock pot as long as the water comes above the jars by about an inch and you have a rack to place in the bottom.
Here are the steps to can these preserves:
1) Sterilize your jar by running them through the dishwasher or washing in soapy, hot water. Keep the jars warm to prevent cracking when filling with hot preserves.
2) Fill your canning pot and turn the heat on to medium or high heat.
3) Fill your jars with preserves, leaving a ¼ inch headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars with a damp cloth and place the lids and bands on the jars, tightening finger tight.
4) Place the jars in your canning pot so that the water comes at least one inch above the jars.
5) Process (boil) the jars for 5 minutes. Start your timer when the water begins to boil.
6) After 5 minutes, turn the heat off the canning pot. Wait about 5 minutes before removing the jars.
7) Place the hot jars on a towel, in a draft free area where they will not be disturbed. Allow them to sit overnight or for at least 8 hours before checking for seals. You should hear the “ping” of the jars sealing.
8) Check your jars for proper seals by pressing down in the center of the lid. If the center can be popped up and down, your jar is not sealed and should be refrigerated.
These strawberry preserves should last at least a year in proper conditions. Wipe the jars clean, remove the bands, and store in a cabinet or pantry.
Be sure to check the seals again before opening.
This jam goes great on homemade buttermilk biscuits!

How many pint jars does this make?
Made today 8 jelly jars which is about 4 pints
Can you freeze the preserves after it cools?
If you want to freeze it, you can skip the canning step altogether.
Mine made 6 half pint jars.
Mine haven’t set up? Still a little runny . Been 5 hours
What did you figure out?
Made last night, still runny this morning. How long does it take to set up?
My guess would be to boil it a bit more than suggested. Use a candy thermometer to be sure. It’s not always the same directions everywhere. Possible factors like elevation, constant heat, and exact amounts could come into play. Just my opinion, take it or leave it, lol. Happy canning. 💜💜💜
Mine is still running this morning can I put the jars back in a hot bath or do I need to pour it out and cook it more
These turned out fantastic! I got a phonecall from a friend yesterday who had too many strawberries to handle so I decided to make some preserves, and they turned out fantastic! Thank you for sharing this recipe!!
Ok so I read the reviews before I started which prompted me to boil twice as long as stated. Result……still runny and won’t set up. Total waste of time and money.
I can’t be a operator error because several have had the same problem.
I’ve read it must be a “hard boil” = 220º w candy thermometer
One more question it also says to remove bands when all is finished. Is that the jar lid ( the silver ring) sorry first time.
Yes, the band is the silver ring
4 T of lemon juice. Tps or Tbs?
T is tablespoons
I am going to try this recipe
I put the preserve which was still hot and did the canning by boiling . Just one question heard a popping sound from the jars later so is it fine?the hot preserve will cause condensation on the lid inside . Is that fine ?
Thanks for this. I gave it a go! Appreciate your time and effort teaching us.
Why do you not use Suregel?
Not sure why so many are having problems with this. This is the simplest way to make strawberry preserves. You don’t need Suregel. Just boil longer. If all fails, add more sugar. Longer on the heat and/or more sugar typically solves the issue.
I made this recipe awhile back and it was amazing !making a bigger batch today !! 🍓🍓
I made strawberry preserves today. Really delicious. I used the juice of 2 limes and over half a teaspoon of all;spice..
However I used 10 cups of strawberries and only made 5 half pints of preserves. The cooking time took 4 times longer as it did not want to thicken. What happened and what can I do to change this? I used a sucanat sugar as I like to use whole foods.
Can I use fresh squeezed lemon juice or do I need to use bottled juice?
The fresh squeezed lemon juice will go fantastic in there-I’ll say way better taste than the bottled juice!
For canning you are supposed to use bottled lemon juice. It’s got the right amount of acidity for the canning process. It’s very important for the bacteria.
I’ve used both separately and there was no negative difference! A bit different in taste and colour but not bad differences
Since I only used 4 cups of sucanat sugar could that be the reason it took so long to thicken? Thanks
So far this recipe turned out great. Cooking time was about an hour with intermittent stirring, I stayed by the stove the whole time.
Made two batches, one with lemon juice from the bottle and one with the zest and juice from a lemon. No difference in thickening and the zest one tastes amazing.
I guess we’ll see if it impacts shelf life! If they even last long enough for that to be an issue 🤤
You said if you use frozen strawberries. Skip to step 2 do you put the sugar in with first?
Put frozen strawberries and sugar in at dame time then just let it cook. I love this recipe
This is just the kind of recipe I was looking for but can you tell how much 2 quarts of strawberries would weigh? I’m trying to figure out if I have enough. Thanks!
Why doesn’t anyone say how many half pints a recipe might make? It is so frustrating! Do I double the recipe? I don’t know because I don’t know how many one batch should yield. Everyone assumes that everyone else is an experienced canner…I am a newbie…
I hope this helps. Not preserves but I made Strawberry Jam today, used 4 lbs of strawberries and it yielded 5 half pints and one half pint that was only 3/4 full. The 5 that were filled to within 1/4” of top I processed for 10 minutes in a water bath canner. The 3/4 full one will go in the fridge and will be eaten first. The recipe I used called for 4 lbs of strawberries, 3 and 1/2 cups of sugar and a 1/2 cup of lemon juice. End result tastes amazing!

Chinese researchers have set a new record in soybean yield, according to the Jiamusi Branch of the Heilongjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
The new record was set in test fields in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, which achieved a yield of 447.47 kg of soybean per mu (about 0.07 hectares).
The tested soybean variety, Henong 71, was developed by a research team of the academy.
The previous record was set in 2018 with a yield of 423.77 kg per mu.
"Henong 71 is an adaptive and lodging-resistant soybean strain with a stable and high yield," said Guo Tai, who led the research team.
Soybeans have long dominated Chinese dinner tables in the form of soymilk, beancurd jelly, soybean oil and dried beancurd.
China's soybean demand remains strong, and more than 80 percent of the market supply is imported.
Guo said many test fields in China have seen a high output of soybeans per mu this year. "This reflects the high yield potential and research capability of China's new soybean varieties," he said. "The soybean industry can be boosted and planting efficiency improved."

Many of the surviving members of the beloved Brady Bunch television series recently reunited to kick off HGTV’s new renovation series featuring their iconic TV home, but now as it turns out they are going to be a big part of the series!
The six actors who starred as the Brady children on the iconic series came back together for the first time in 15 years for A Very Brady Renovation, and announced that each would be teaming up with designers from popular HGTV shows to restore the home inside and out.
“You know when there are times in your life where everything comes together and it just feels like it was so meant to be and everything feels right? That’s how this feels,” Maureen McCormick, 62, who played Marcia Brady, told PEOPLE. “It’s so perfect.”
McCormick will be paired up with Property Brothers stars Drew and Jonathan Scott and will be focusing on redoing the home’s front facade, entryway and living room. “In my heart, I am so fond of everything that this house represents,” McCormick said. “This is going to be an amazing year. They’ve taken the greatest HGTV stars who are all so nice. You can just see their hearts, which I love. They’re beautiful people and I think they’re going to do an amazing job on this. I can see that they really care.”
Susan Olsen, who played Cindy Brady, will be teaming up with Good Bones stars Mina Starsiak Hawk and Karen E Laine to tackle the girls’ bedroom, the second floor landing and the jack-and-jill bathroom. The team will be helped by Mike Lookinland, who played Bobby Brady, and will also take on the boys’ bedroom.
Even Plumb, who played Jan Brady, will be working with sister-brother team Leanne and Steve Ford from HGTV’s Restored by the Fords to work on the family room and the kitchen.
Hidden Potential‘s Jasmine Roth will take over the master suite with Christopher Knight (Peter Brady) and Mike’s Den and Office with Barry Williams (Greg Brady). Flea Market Flip‘s Lara Spencer will partner with Plumb and Williams on Greg’s Attic and Alice’s room.
“Our responsibility is that we don’t screw this up,” Drew Scott said of the project. “In the end, we want to make sure that what we do is exactly what this house should look like.”
A Very Brady Renovation is set to air in 2019 on HGTV.

Local Power Bills to Rise This Month
by John Schrag
The Forest Grove News-Times, January 2, 2008
Price spike - Cost of fuel and materials drive rates up 4 percent in Forest Grove.
Other utilities also boosting rates.
Most western Washington County residents will be paying a bit more on their power bills starting this month.
In early December, the Forest Grove City Council approved a 4-percent rate hike for its customers, boosting the typical residential bill by $2.55 per month.
PGE customers will also see a bump in their bills effective Jan. 1.
Forest Grove Councilor Elena Uhing said she was reluctant to raise electric rates in a city where many elderly residents and others are on fixed incomes. But, she said, the public utility made a good case that it needs to keep up with rising maintenance and materials costs.
Janet Lonneker, director of Forest Grove Light & Power, said that a spike in the cost of copper and aluminum has pushed the utility's cost for materials up 20 percent. And, she noted, fuel costs have doubled since 2005, the last time customers were hit with a rate hike.
Councilor Pete Truax agreed that the increase was needed.
"As a council, we don't like doing this but it's something we do wisely," he said. "We have to take care of citizens of Forest Grove and part of that is making sure Light & Power has the resources needed."
Lonneker noted that even with the increase, Forest Grove's rates are well below those of PGE, the largest private utility serving the rest of the county.
As of this month, a typical Forest Grove resident will be paying $65.25 a month, on average, for electricity.
That same bill would be more than $100 for customers of PGE, which is also raising its rates this month.
There may be some good news for residents later this year. The Bonneville Power Administration, which provides electricity to both both public and private utilities, is close to signing off on a $191 million refund to the public utilities .
Lonneker said that should the deal go through, that could lower the city's cost of BPA power by about 2 percent.
Private utilities are also negotiating a refund.

Long Valley Hydrologic Advisory Committee takes geo data seriously
Never heard of the Long Valley Hydrologic Advisory Committee? You wouldn’t be alone. Most folks aren’t aware the HAC even exists.
In an informational public meeting Tuesday evening, HAC members from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Ormat and the U.S. Forest Service describe what the role of the committee is and how its members contribute to its work in Mono County and surrounding areas.
As Mono County Economic Development Director Dan Lyster explained, the LVHAC was formed in 1985 as the LV Technical Advisory Committee, but changed its name and indeed its focus a year later. Originally set up to have input on development of geothermal resources, its scope has expanded to include monitoring and safeguarding of resources considered geologically important, such as area fish hatcheries, springs, and sites of geothermal interest, such as Hot Creek and Casa Diablo.
During the past 25 years, data collection has improved dramatically since the LVHAC formed a partnership with the USGS, which does monitoring via its Volcanic Hazards Program under the auspices of a cooperative agreement with Mono County.
The USGS, however, does not interpret data gathered from monitoring of groundwater, thermal pools, gas from fumaroles and snowpack, among other items. HAC members do that, and use their findings to inform and advise public agencies, such as the BLM and Mono County for everything from permitting of new geothermal wells to disaster preparedness.
The LVHAC made it clear that it is not a legislative or regulatory body, and has no such authority.
Water covers 70% of the Earth’s surface, and by definition, hydrology means the study of the movement, distribution and quality of that water. But in our area, it’s not water above ground that concerns the USGS. Volcanic Observatory Scientist Maggie Mangan monitors our volcanic activity and its impact on below ground geothermal water sources with great interest.
Hot Creek, for example, a notable part of the Long Valley Caldera, is the exit point for more than 70% of the Caldera’s hot water that makes its way to the surface. That water is heated by volcanic activity situated directly below the caldera, which is bordered on the southwest by Mammoth Mountain Ski Area and Mammoth Lakes, the northeast by the Glass Mountains, and the south and southeast by Convict Lake, Crowley Lake and Casa Diablo.
Volcanoes don’t have to be shaped like the classic cone structures seen in the movies. Indeed the Eastern Sierra is part of a small number of “super volcanoes” that can be found in continental North America. While the Long Valley Caldera generally resembles more of a sagging roof, geologically speaking, near the center is what Mangan called a “resurgent dome area,” which has seen uplift of about 1 meter between 1980 and 2000. Molten lava, which is lighter than solid rock, rises, and cracks and displaces other rock, causing earthquake swarms and gas emissions, and lead to domes that form over a period of years, such as the caldera’s resurgent dome.
The last eruption in our area was 300 years ago in the middle of Mono Lake, but we could always be on the verge of another. From her post at the San Jose/San Francisco CalVO (California Volcanic Observatory), Mangan also monitors potential volcanic eruptions in California and parts of Nevada, per Congressional directive, “to assess hazards and inform crisis management in various localities.”
“Most folks know California has earthquakes, but most don’t know we even have volcanoes,” Mangan said. Scattered throughout the state, she said most are fairly “young,” with molten rock “in their guts” that can pose a risk of unrest and eruption. Several eastern ranges benefit from geothermal capability, including the Lassen range and Casa Diablo locally.
Hydrology, it turns out, has its antecedents in other areas of volcanic study, particularly mudflows, concrete-like rivers made up of heated water, rock, ash, dirt and other debris, and CO2 emissions. She cited Horseshoe Lake as an example, which has experienced leakage that has killed numerous trees in that area and occasionally poses health hazards to humans and animals.
“Tracking water temperature changes helps illustrate the effects of shallow hydrological shifts from magma movement,” Mangan explained. And she went on to point out that the network of remote stations used to take hydrologic, seismic and volcanic-related readings in the Eastern Sierra is among the most state-of-the-art worldwide. In fact, she posited that the only one similar in scope and technology is situated in a similar locale of interest in Italy.
“Data comes in to Mammoth Community Water District [also a LVHAC member] 24/7/365,” Mangan said. As to any threat levels, nothing is raising any major flags thus far. “The southern part of the caldera is a ‘zone of interest,’ which has had some fairly consistent earthquake activity, until about 2006. Since then it’s been relatively quiet,” she concluded.
And if you’re wondering whether geothermal drilling has anything to do with those series of quake swarms, Mangan insisted the answer is no. Quakes were being logged in the area prior to geothermal utilization and have been ruled out as a cause. In any case, if an event were to become imminent, we’d likely know it was coming weeks or months before anything happened. Volcanoes differ from other natural events in that, while they have a long duration once they’ve occurred, they have a longer advance timeline as well.
Home on the Paleozoic range
Hydrologic study can also involve ancient Earth history. Did you know, for example, that the mountains we now know as the Mammoth Crest/Bloody Mountain/Mt. Morrison range are actually the most complete record of what California looked like during the Paleozoic era from 250 million to 550 million years ago?
“It’s the rosetta stone of geology for this part of the country,” noted Gene Suemnicht of EGS, a geologic consulting firm for many government agencies and industries. Even though the rocks have changed over time, and the terrain isn’t as easy to explore as the Grand Canyon with its layer cake exposures all laid out in one vertical display, numerous important geologic discoveries in the last century or so have their origins in our nearby mountains.
Approximately 760,000 years ago is when the last major change was experienced, when a volcanic eruption blasted 150 cubic miles of ash as high as 60,000 feet into the atmosphere, according to calculations. “That wasn’t a good day to be fishing,” he quipped. Suemnicht said the resulting cataclysm is estimated to be 600 times larger than the one that racked Mount St. Helens in Washington State in the 1980s.
Hot ash fused into hot rock and rained down on what is now Bishop and points nearby, forming the Bishop Tuff, a tuff being a rock formation made up of consolidated volcanic ash. Some of the ash known to have been part of the blast has been found as far away as Kansas, and along the Gulf Coast. And a major section of the mountain range subsided and essentially sank into the Bishop Tuff section of the caldera, a chunk so big that drilling down thousands of feet has so far failed to find the bottom of the slide.
What does all that have to do with hydrology? Plenty, Suemnicht thinks. “If the present is the key to the past, then the reverse is also true,” he posits. “We can learn a lot about our geothermal systems by understanding what happened ‘down under’ millions of years ago.”
Following the forming of the caldera as we see it today, fumaroles formed mostly on the westernmost side, and hot springs mostly on the east. Decades of wells, both experimental and for development helped yield a lot of information as to the area’s geothermal viability. Water, a permeable surface and a major heat source are the three essential items, and Mono County has them in abundance.
Hot Creek, Suemnicht said, has actually been made up of two geothermal systems, once from about 300,000 years ago, which has since faded, and the current one, which dates back about 40,000 years.
In closing, BLM Geologist Collin Reinhardt briefed the audience on the BLM’s permitting and inspection of many of the leases and construction on government land, which it conducts in association with the Forest Service. Reinhardt said 25% of BLM lease royalties go to Mono County (the rest are divided up between federal and state taxes).
And Charlene Wardlow from Ormat said that the planned upgrade of the old G-1 Casa Diablo power plant to the new, more efficient M-1 plant won’t mean any changes to the existing wells there. She also touted some of the benefits of the new CD-4 plant near Shady Rest, which, when built, would mean property taxes and BLM royalties to Mono County, as well as sales taxes and some job creation.

Some of the people believe in abortion while others are against abortion. From the video discussion between Gyan and Biden shows how people differ in their thoughts in regards to abortion. Gyan believes that the abortion should be illegal and should only be allowed in exceptional circumstances like the case of rape, incest and when the life of the mother is in danger. Additionally, according to Gyan he respects other people religion and opinion concerning abortion. Gyan is deeply concerned about the Obamacare on how it is handling the issue of abortion. Since this is a controversial topic, Gyan proposes that it needs more mind and more stakeholders to handle this matter through their elective posts (WSJ, 2008). According to him, life begins at conception. He reveals how using the ultrasound technology saw the tiny life in the shape of a bean in the womb of the mother. As a result, Gyan proposes that everybody should be given a chance in life and that life begins with conception. Gyan is critical with the Obamacare because, the insurance scheme is taxing the taxpayers to fund abortion related cases. The issue becomes even more controversial in that the vice president Mr. Biden had travelled to China to see how the one child policy works with forced sterility. He was critical to that issue that the Obama administration wanted to borrow the same policy into the United States of America.
On the other hand, Biden differs with Gyan on the issue of abortion in that the democratic government respects the views of all religions concerning abortion. He further emphasizes that the issue of abortion should be left to the judges and the doctors as the one who have the final say (WSJ, 2008). He also notes that no religion that has given contraception a priority. He says that birth controls are not an issue on various religions, and the matter should be left to judges and any representatives that may be appointed by the president to work on it.

Abortion and the Rogerian Argument Abstract The essay aims to address a two-fold objective: (1) to choose an issue in nursing; and (2) to write a Rogerian argument on an issue in the field of nursing. Abortion and the Rogerian Argument Introduction Debates about abortion is interminable not only in the United States but to most countries in the world.
Abortion Is abortion right or wrong? Abortion is the termination of the embryo or fetus from the uterus before it is viable in order to end pregnancy. Additionally, it is the situation where the pregnancy is terminated intentionally after conception so that it does not lead to the birth of the baby.
This section will also state how the research will be conducted. b. Abortion, ethics and the law This section will discuss the views of those who ethically oppose abortion and the reasons they give for their stand. It will also give the legal view of abortion and cite a section of the United States Federal Law on abortion.
They believe that human lives are sacred and therefore should be treated with respect and reverence. Most religious experts assume that killing is wrong since it ends the life that the maker intended to live and fulfil its purpose on earth. However, some people believe that abortion is right provided it is done with good intentions.
People become completely upset and outraged and want to know how something like this could happen Thousands of people are crying for those poor innocent, defenseless, unborn children. But yet, when it comes to abortion everybody is quick to say that it's not murder because the child is not born yet.
From a moral standpoint, it is wrong to abort a fetus but it is legally wrong to deprive a woman a chance to prevent undesirable birth (Stetson 87). Thesis Women have a moral right to abort a fetus because it is a human being yet and undesirable birth would cause great troubles and life problems for both a mother and child, and to the state.
Over 50% of cases of abortion occur in women who had used contraceptive a month before (C.D.C. Web). Bringing up a child requires resources and effort on the part of the mother, in case it is not possible to support a

text: Extract: A male sibling who was born of healthy parents and who died at the age of five days with the clinical picture of severe hypotonia, areflexia, hyperventilation, and grunting is described. An older female sibling with identical symptoms had died some years previously. The parents were unrelated and had three other healthy children. The patient exhibited severe metabolic acidosis which was resistant to therapy. This acidosis was caused by the presence in blood of propionic acid in a very high concentration (5.4 mM/l). The high levels of urea and potassium also present were probably the result of a markedly reduced urine production caused by dehydration. The levels of amino acid in plasma revealed low values for one amino acid, normal values for other amino acids, and high values for lysine, histidine, valine, isoleucine, and leucine.At autopsy, except for a right descending aortic arch, no gross anomalies were found, although the liver was enlarged, probably because of increased fat content. Microscopic examination showed a fatty degeneration of liver cells, degeneration of the Purkinje cells and the granular layer in the cerebellum, and macrophages containing debris of blood cells in the bone marrow and in the spleen. Gas chromatography was used to determine the nature of the accumulated fat in the liver. Among the normal constituents of liver triglycerides, three abnormal fractions were observed, two of which contained C15 and C17 straight chain fatty acids. These were not observed in normal liver fat. The combination of propionicacidemia and the storage of fatty acids with an uneven chain number in the liver pointed to a block in the conversion of propionic acid into methylmalonic acid.Speculation: It is suggested that the propionicacidemia found in this patient is due to a metabolic block in the conversion of propionic acid into methylmalonic acid. The increased concentration of odd-numbered fatty acids (C15 and C17) in the liver may arise from either a decreased breakdown of these fatty acids or an increased synthesis initiated by the high concentration of propionyl-CoA. It is proposed that the missing enzyme is propionyl coenzyme A carboxylase. The fact that a sibling with identical symptoms had died forms a strong argument to postulate that a hereditary abnormality of recessive inheritance is the cause of this as yet undescribed syndrome.

You don’t have to admire the philosophy of Don Draper to appreciate the music of his time. Mad Men brought forward the most exquisite of 1960s fashion and interior design, but also some of the time’s most beautiful and sometimes-forgotten anthems.
- “You Only Live Twice” by Nancy Sinatra
The dramatic strings and Sinatra’s sultry vocals on this song end the fifth season of the show, and listening to them will take you right into the scene: sitting at a bar, Don Draper to your left smoking a cigarette and ordering an old fashioned, while you look around mesmerized by the class and elegance of your entourage.
- “Shahdaroba” by Roy Orbison
“Shahdaroba, shahdaroba, means the future is much better than the past!” Orbison has recorded many great songs in his lifetime, other than the obviously well known “Pretty Woman.” This is one of them. It’s hopeful, dreamy, and its instrumentation reflects its Arabian-inspired mission.
- “Trust In Me” by Etta James
Etta James has a unique artistic approach which sprinkles her songs with emotion, sultriness, and romance. A wonderful vocal piece, “Trust In Me” is a typical example of early 1960s soul music.
- “Bye-Bye Birdie” by Ann-Margret
From the 1963 original motion picture Bye Bye Birdie, this song appears in one of the advertisements made by the executives of Sterling Cooper. It’s also a cultural landmark of the decade, with Ann-Margret’s passionate performance representing all the desire and irony of the decade.
- “Song to Woody” by Bob Dylan
I can’t speak of 1960s music without mentioning the great folk/rock musicians that defined the decade. While the show focuses on the corporate class of American society, the effects of hippie art and the civil rights movement infiltrate Manhattan men’s life, and so does their music.
- “Bonnie and Clyde” by Brigitte Bardot and Serge Gainsbourg
In a way, this song is similar to the show: It tells a story of love, violence, and complications, in its own aesthetic infused with suspense. Drawing on a French rendition of Bonnie Parker’s poem “The Trail’s End,” this song embodies the French view of mythical American stories.
- “A Beautiful Mine” by RJD2
Originally a rap song, this song was later changed to become an instrumental track and chosen as the theme song of the show. Today, nothing screams Mad Men like its roaring drums and melodramatic strings.

Sand Creek Massacre Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site Colorado National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior It was hard to see little children … their brains beat out by men professing to be civilized. Eagle Robe (Eugene J. Ridgely Sr.) painted this elk hide in 1994, from Arapaho oral tradition. His greatgrandfather, Lame Man, escaped the massacre. Capt. Silas Soule to Maj. Edward W. Wynkoop, December 1864 Attack at Dawn A column of riders moves up Big Sandy Creek as the village awakens on November 29, 1864. This is no ordinary village; it is a chiefs’ village, with over 750 people and at least 33 chiefs and headmen of the Cheyenne and Arapaho. All believe they are safe here, within the 1861 Fort Wise Treaty Lands. Women think they hear buffalo approaching. The “buffalo” are US Army soldiers—well-trained troops of the 1st Regiment Cavalry (Colorado US Volunteer) and raw recruits of the 3rd Regiment Cavalry. The soldiers have guns and howitzers. A US flag and a white flag of truce flutter from a lodgepole at Cheyenne Peace Chief Black Kettle’s tipi, but the soldiers are undeterred. Startled men reach for their weapons. White Antelope and other chiefs walk toward the mounted soldiers. The cavalry open fire. Women, children, and elderly flee. Black Kettle survives unscathed, but White Antelope and Left Hand are hit; both will die from their wounds. Col. John Chivington arrives. He orders the 1st Regiment to fire into the fleeing villagers. Mayhem ensues as his soldiers massacre Cheyenne and Arapaho people. Capt. Silas Soule and Lt. Joseph Cramer defy Chivington and order their companies (D and K of the 1st Regiment) to stand down. They witness the executions of those who surrender and others who try to escape along the sandy creek bed. When the firing stops, over 230 Cheyenne and Arapaho, including 13 Council and four Soldier chiefs, lie murdered. US Army casualties amount to about 18 dead and 70 wounded. Reports exaggerate the number of Indians killed at 500. Soldiers loot, scalp, and mutilate the dead. They ransack and burn the village. They take human body parts as trophies along with 600 horses. Surviving Cheyenne and Arapaho, wounded and bleeding, escape north toward the Smoky Hill River. COURTESY RIDGELY FAMILY, NORTHERN ARAPAHO We ran up the creek with the cavalry following us … [it] was now a terrible sight: men, women, and children lying thickly scattered on the sand. George Bent, Sand Creek survivor Path to Tragedy The Central Plains, which stretch from the Missouri River to the Rockies, were home to thousands of Plains Indians—Cheyenne, Arapaho, Comanche, Lakota, and others. They adopted the horse for hunting buffalo—the main source for their material culture and food. In winter, certain locales along creeks and rivers offered firewood, shelter from bitter winds, and drinking water. Big Sandy Creek was one such place. People of many tribes paused here while traveling the Smoky Hill Lodgepole Trail. In 1821 European Americans began to cross the Central Plains in greater numbers, first on the Santa Fe Trail, which followed the Arkansas River, and later along the Oregon Trail, which followed the Platte River. Some tribes saw the newcomers as trespassers in their hunting territories. Tension and violence resulted. The US government sought peace through treaties that acknowledged the tribes as ”dependent, domestic nations.” The 1851 Fort Laramie Treaty defined the Plains tribes’ territory. It promised them protection and annuities (provisions) in return for safe passage by travelers through Indian lands. The treaty did not achieve lasting peace. In the late 1850s prospectors struck gold in the Rocky Mountains. Realizing that Indian lands might include rich mineral resources, the US government reneged on the 1851 treaty. A new Fort Wise Treaty (1861) required the Cheyenne and Arapaho to cede all their previously agreed territory except a small reservation. Six Cheyenne and four Arapaho chiefs signed. Many more refused. Despite the discord, Congress created Colorado Territory in 1861. Only a few months later, the Civil War began. The US Army withdrew most of its regulars from the frontier for service back east. In 1862 Congress passed the Homestead and Pacific Railway Acts, which eventually led to more westward migration. Col. John Chivington, a Civil War hero, commanded the troops of the Colorado Military District. Chivington, who had political aspirations, reportedly said, ”It is right or honorable to use any means under God’s heaven to kill Indians....” In spring 1864 he ordered attacks on four Cheyenne villages. When his regiment killed Peace Chief Lean Bear, Plains warriors retaliated. Some Indian leaders appealed for peace in a conference at Camp Weld, near Denver, with Territorial Governor John Evans and Chivington. Those Indians desiring peace were told to report to Fort Lyon. Many did, and then encamped at Sand Creek. On November 29, 1864, Chivington led the attack at Sand Creek. Although an Army judge condemned the ”cowardly cold-blooded slaughter,” the colonel was never formally charged nor tried. Evans was forced to resign in 1865. Peace Chief Black Kettle Peace Chief White Antelope Gov. John Evans Maj. Edward Wynkoop Capt. Silas Soule Col. John Chivington Col. Chivington, although a Methodist minister, asked for a ”fighting” post in the US Army. EVANS: COLORADO STATE ARCHIVES CHIVINGTON: DENVER PUBLIC LIBRARY Among the participants at the Camp Weld Conference: Cheyenne Peace Chiefs Black Kettle (survived Sand Creek, died at Washita) and White Antelope (died at Sand Creek); Capt. Soule (died in Denver from a gunshot to the head soon after he testified against Col. Chivington); Maj. Wynkoop, commanding officer, Fort Lyon, CO Territory. Gov. Evans issued this poster in 1864 to recruit volunteers for the 3rd Regiment. HISTORY COLORADO All we ask is that we have peace with the whites Peace Chief Black Kettle, September 28, 1864, Camp Weld Conference HISTORY COLORADO A Sacred Place, a Spiritual People The Sand Creek Massacre is not only a tragic historical event—its legacy is alive and present in the memories, lineages, and stories, and in the trauma and healing, of its Cheyenne and Arapaho descendants. Memorialization of the massacre has significance too for many descendants of its US military participants as well as those who come to pay respects. The Cheyenne and Arapaho have always had a sacred and spiritual way of life. They believe that all of creation has a spiritual connection—the land, plants, animals, wind, water, and people. The tribes believe even speaking of the massacre is sacred; they consider the massacre site forever hallowed, because the spirits and blood of the victims are intermingled with the earth. Today, Cheyenne and Arapaho return to their homeland to repatriate remains of the massacre found in museums and private collections. The tribes provide respectful, traditionally appropriate burials to assure the victims can be at rest and never forgotten. Cheyenne and Arapaho representatives, descendants, ceremonial leaders, and youth conduct an annual Sand Creek Massacre Spiritual Healing Run from the massacre site to the steps of the Colorado State Capitol. Prayers and offerings by tribal and non-tribal participants are given for the land, for the spirits of those who perished, for living generations, and for those to come—all to put to rest the torment of the past. Through these acts of remembrance and healing, the landscape of the Sand Creek Massacre remains a living, sacred place—the past forever interconnected with the present and the future. The Massacre Reverberates The massacre devastated generations of Cheyenne and Arapaho people. The deaths of so many Cheyenne chiefs disrupted tribal governance, and surviving chiefs like Black Kettle lost credibility. Tribes lost much traditional knowledge. Families lost providers. Children lost parents. The massacre polarized the American public. In Denver, crowds cheered when returning soldiers displayed human trophies. The brutality appalled others. The US Army ordered an immediate investigation; Congress would order two more. Company commanders Capt. Silas Soule and Lt. Joseph Cramer, who ordered their men to stand down, pro- vided written accounts that shocked national and military leaders. Col. John Chivington gave a different account, which the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the Civil War rejected. In the 1865 Little Arkansas Treaty, the US government took responsibility for the massacre and promised reparations to survivors. The promised reparations have never been fulfilled. The US policy toward Native peoples shifted from removal and concentration to assimilation. Although it seemed more humane, assimilation denied people their culture, language, and traditional way of life. Yet the identities of the tribes, though weakened, are intact. Today the Chey- © JEFF CAMPBELL enne and Arapaho tribes reside in Montana, Wyoming, and Oklahoma where they continue to maintain their cultures and try to preserve their traditional knowledge. Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site, established in 2007, reminds us of “the tragic extremes sometimes reached in the 500 years of conflict between Native Americans and peoples of European or other origins.” Here people work to enhance understanding across diverse cultures. The story of the Sand Creek Massacre raises awareness of basic human rights, transcending park boundaries. The American people, through the intent of Congress, join Cheyenne and Arapaho leaders and chiefs in the hope that this story will prevent similar tragedies in the future. It is difficult to believe that beings … disgracing the uniform of United States soldiers and officers, could commit … such acts of cruelty and barbarity.

A new outlook on homeless people
September 2, 2012 5:14pm CST
I had never went without having a home. I have a degree in Criminal Justice, have worked in Security at a college. Have done a little police work and have been a Corrections Officer. Without going into great detail, I found myself homeless this summer. My daughter and I lived in a homeless shelter for a short time. Before ever being homeless, it is sad to say that I sometimes would think that many of the people who are homeless could do something about their situation and just don't try. I mean I have always had a heart for people who are struggling but I also was kind of leery, thinking that maybe that person just isn't trying to improve their life. Oh, did I ever have a reality check. I know first hand, that first of all, being homeless is exhausting, even while living at a shelter. There are so many rules (which is good, not complaining about this) and you are always busy doing something, whether it be mandatory "dorm" meetings, meetings with your coach/counselor and etc.and completing your chores. You only have certain times when you can eat, and if you ever want to sleep in, you will miss breakfast. You have to get up early and you are constantly going all day long, looking for work, finding somewhere to hang out to stay cool, whether it means you walk around in a store all day or stop at a restaurant (and hopefully have enough $ to at least buy a drink so that you don't get kicked out). Even finding a place where you can use the restroom can be stressful. When you are a single mother looking for work, it is extremely difficult to find work while living at a homeless shelter. You are not allowed to leave your child in the shelter without you at ANY time, unless you pay one of the other mother's to babysit. If you don't have a job, you have no money to pay for the daycare. Even though my daughter is 16 and we had our own room (with no other families), she was not allowed to stay there without me. I believe that shelter's should look into providing daycare for single parents to be able to go job hunting and for interviews. Anyhow, I know I did't really ask a question here...just sharing my thoughts on what I experienced as being homeless. What are your thoughts and do you have any experience with being homeless? Oh and let me share this, thank the Lord, we are now in our own apartment! God is good! I am still looking for work, please keep me in your prayers!

There are all kind of homeless people. Also people who are too lazy to change their life. People who don't really care they are homeless and like to live that way. But there are also plenty who are not able to change their lives. Simply because they never learned how to run it, how to safe, how to stay out of debt or how to make the right decisions or... ask for help.

you are so very correct! There are all kinds of people who are homeless. There are those, who unfortunately, don't really care and just go with it and decide to continue to live their life that way but there are many who are stuck and struggling and really are having a rough time changing their life, even though trying to change it on a daily basis. I have to say, living that life style for just a short time made me appreciate what I do have even more. My daughter and I are looking forward to buying some lunchables or other pre-made meals and/or veggies/fruits and taking them downtown to hang out to the homeless some time this next week!

borderline personality disorder (bpd) is a mental illness that causes the individuals diagnosed with it to have difficulties controlling their emotions, which can lead to a variety of stressful mental and behavioral problems. the causes of borderline personality disorder are not exactly known and the research into the possible causes is fairly new. this means that those individuals who have first degree relatives with borderline personality disorder are ten times more likely to develop the disorder themselves.
examples of the signs and symptoms of bpd can include: in many cases, people with borderline personality disorder will suffer from the illness for long periods of time before receiving a proper diagnosis. the following are examples of possible long-term effects that untreated bpd can inflict upon a person: it is common for individuals with borderline personality disorder to be diagnosed with other mental health disorders. it is estimated that 1.6% of adults living in the united states are suffering from borderline personality disorder in a given year. the staff at seven hills was able to bring him back to us with a series of interventions and treatment plans.
personality disorders are mental illnesses that cause people to have trouble relating to situations, other people, and even themselves. people with borderline personality disorder (bpd) typically have very intense emotions, stormy relationships with others, trouble controlling their anger, rapid mood swings, and a distorted self-image that can change quickly. many people with bpd cause themselves physical harm, such as by cutting or burning themselves or even attempting suicide. borderline personality disorder is most common in young adults, although symptoms often start as early as childhood, and it occurs more often in women than men.
if it goes untreated, bpd can have damaging effects on relationships, jobs, school, and social activities. treatment for bpd usually starts with psychotherapy to help the person understand the symptoms and how best to manage them in everyday life. borderline personality disorder can get better with treatment, but it may take a long time, so it’s important for people with bpd and their friends and families to be patient. families of people with bpd can also benefit from therapy that helps them cope with stressful situations and avoid actions that may make their relative’s symptoms worse.
many people with untreated bpd also experience unstable or chaotic personal relationships and have trouble keeping a job. if gone untreated a more isolated, declining borderline is at high fisk for suicide or horrific self mutilation. borderlines are 50 times more likely to attempt untreated quiet bpd may increase your risk for acting out impulsively, and engaging in uncontrolled spending, gambling, drinking, and other, .
if left untreated, the effects of borderline personality can be devastating, not only for the individual who is diagnosed with the disorder, but their friends and family as well. some of the most common effects of untreated bpd can include the following: dysfunctional social relationships. repeated job losses. finding hope: borderline personality disorder symptoms may improve over time. not all people with bpd will identify with these situations. and if they do, experiencing these chaotic, unstable life events may push them to seek treatment. u201cbecause it’s so scary, it can really drive the people to change,u201d hooper says. many people with bpd are untreated, but not because they’re unwilling. it’s because this mental illness isn’t treated like many others. functional recovery is less consistent, and further research on factors or treatments that may improve the long-term functional outcome of patients with bpd is the following are examples of possible long-term effects that untreated bpd can inflict upon a person: demoralized sense of self; repeated job losses; inability, .

A good collection filler.
Please see the pictures to judge for yourself.
1996 Greece 200 Drachmas Banknote 05518133
Deep orange on multicolored underprint
Obverse: Rigas Feraios was a forerunner and leading figure of the Greek enlightenment and confederation. He was the first to visualize the liberation of the Balkans from the Ottoman Empire and was executed by the Ottomans in 1798 after vainly attempting to launch a Balkan-wide revolt against Ottoman rule
Reverse: Secret school run by Greek priests during the Ottoman occupation
Watermark: Bust of Philip of Macedonia – Philip II of Macedon was an ancient Greek king until his assassination in 336 and father of Alexander the Great and Philip III.
The Ottoman Empire also known as the Turkish Empire, Ottoman Turkey or Turkey, was an empire founded in 1299 by Oghuz Turks under Osman I in northwestern Anatolia. After conquests in the Balkans by Murad I between 1362 and 1389, the Ottoman sultanate was transformed into a transcontinental empire and claimant to the caliphate. The Ottomans ended the Byzantine Empire with the 1453 conquest of Constantinople by Mehmed the Conqueror.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, in particular at the height of its power under the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent, the Ottoman Empire was a multinational, multilingual empire controlling much of Southeast Europe, Western Asia, the Caucasus, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa. At the beginning of the 17th century the empire contained 32 provinces and numerous vassal states. Some of these were later absorbed into the Ottoman Empire, while others were granted various types of autonomy during the course of centuries. With Constantinople as its capital and control of lands around the Mediterranean basin, the Ottoman Empire was at the centre of interactions between the Eastern and Western worlds for six centuries. Following a long period of military setbacks against European powers, the Ottoman Empire gradually declined into the late nineteenth century. The empire allied with Germany in the early 20th century, with the imperial ambition of recovering its lost territories, joining in World War I to achieve this ambition on the side of Germany and the Central Powers. While the Empire was able to largely hold its own during the conflict, it was struggling with internal dissent, especially in its Arabian holdings. Starting before the war, but growing increasingly common and violent during it, major atrocities were committed by the Ottoman government against the Armenians, Assyrians and Pontic Greeks. The Empire’s defeat and the occupation of part of its territory by the Allied Powers in the aftermath of the conflict resulted in the emergence of a new state, Turkey, in the Ottoman Anatolian heartland following the Independence war, as well as the founding of modern Balkan and Middle Eastern states.

First time I heard Jon Regen was when he was playing piano with Jimmy Scott the first time Scott ever played Ronnie’s. That was a marvellous evening and Regen a simpático accompanist, his jazz chops reminding me at the time of Joey Calderazzo: he was that good.
Time has moved on. Sadly Little Jimmy is no longer with us. And as for Regen his career has twisted and turned bravely but no less remarkably as a reinvented singer/songwriter-pianist with a singing style landing unselfconsciously somewhere between Randy Newman and Billy Joel the first song here ‘I Will Wait’ signposts Newman although Regen doesn’t really do social critique more situational musing about life’s little disappointments and heartaches.
Mainly recorded in a Santa Monica studio during September last year produced by Mitchell Froom, well known for his work in the 1980s and early-90s with Crowded House who slips in a little additional keyboards and programming, this is largely a stripped down trio record Regen’s fine pianistic touch enhanced by bassist Davey Faragher and drummer Pete Thomas from the Elvis Costello band with a little extra guitar and backing vocals from Val McCallum on a few tracks and congas from Don Heffington towards the end on ‘Chapter Two’ the most optimistic song of the whole affair.
All the songs are Regen’s and vocals dominate. There is a certain intimacy in the way the album unfolds itself and a slight poignancy about some of the songs say on ‘Run to Me’ (‘When there’s nothing left to say/And you can’t fake it anyway/You can run to me’) almost an antidote to disappointment and world weariness.
Regen doesn’t do cynicism but informed realism and that’s his strength, his croaky voice not falling into a designer vocals hole although the songs are very grown-up and highly supper-club friendly but without the fakeness. It’s more nuanced than 2011’s Revolution I think, more reflective, and all the better for it and a sharp turn away from his big selling Change Your Mind instrumental diversion in 2013. The big song, Sherlock no kidding, is the Radio 2 friendly New Orleans-flavoured title track time machine song of middle age (‘When I was a boy I had it all too good/No one ever said it would turn to soot’), listen above, where Regen punches out the chorus with a real passion and you’re carried along.

Skyline Ridge Complex: Three Fires Grow, Others Are "More Stable"
Officials with the Skyline Ridge Complex of fires in Douglas County say three of the fires continue to grow, while most of the other fires are being described as “more stable.”
In the most recent update, fire managers said only three fires within the Complex continue to grow: the Poole Creek, O'Shea, and Sweat Creek fires.
The southeast edge of the Poole Creek Fire, about 6 miles southeast of Days Creek is burning actively, pushing past sections of fire line. The Poole Creek Fire makes up 1,942 acres of the entire footprint of the Complex which was estimated to be burning across 2,418 acres and was 9% contained.
The second largest fire in the Complex is the 190 acre O’Shea Fire a few miles southeast of Canyonville. Most other fires are two acres or less.
The terrain in the area of the northern edge of the fire is challenging firefighters. Three steep ridges run north to south, split by two deep canyons. Fire managers say at the highest point the ridges are over 2,000 feet high, with slopes of 70 to 100%. The Sweat Creek and O'Shea fires have burning chunks of wood rolling down the steep slopes, past the lines.
Firefighters are building control lines along existing roads on the tops of the outer east and west ridges. Controlled burns over the next several days will help strengthen those lines to prevent the fire from spreading east or west.

The BBC describes its new initiative BBC Music as “an ambitious wave of new programmes, innovative partnerships and ground-breaking music initiatives that amount to the BBC’s strongest commitment to music in 30 years.” To mark the launch, the media conglomerate commissioned this music video featuring an all-star lineup singing the Beach Boys’ classic “God Only Knows” alongside Brian Wilson. It feels like something out of Moulin Rouge. Among those in the video: Pharrell, Stevie Wonder, Lorde (with wings for some reason), Chris Martin, Florence Welch, Elton John, Dave Grohl, Sam Smith, One Direction, and many more. This is a sequel to an all-star cover of Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day” that the BBC commissioned in 1997, which of course also featured Elton John. Watch the new “God Only Knows” video below.
Some more details via The Guardian:
As in 1997, the BBC has succeeded in gathering together a fairly staggering array of stars. Joining Brian Wilson, the song’s writer, are Sir Elton John, One Direction, Stevie Wonder, Pharrell Williams. Jake Bugg, Lorde, Emeli Sandé, Chris Martin, Kylie Minogue, Paloma Faith, Sam Smith, Florence Welch, Chrissie Hynde, Brian May, Dave Grohl, Alison Balsom, Martin James Bartlett, Danielle de Niese, Nicola Benedetti, Eliza Carthy, Baaba Maal, Jamie Cullum, Jaz Dhami, as well as the BBC’s Zane Lowe, Lauren Laverne, Katie Derham, Gareth Malone and Jools Holland. They are joined by the Tees Valley Youth Choir and the BBC Concert Orchestra. Sir Elton John is the only survivor from Perfect Day. The song is accompanied by a lavish video filmed at the disused Alexandra Palace theatre in London, which hosted the first BBC broadcast more than 90 years ago.
Here’s the answer key:

Nvidia is making something using a 5nm process, according to the rumor mill, although it’s anyone’s guess what that hardware could be.
This comes from a DigiTimes report about how chipmaker TSMC is benefiting from a ramp-up in orders from Nvidia and AMD, and apparently part of Nvidia’s demands pertain to a 5nm chip.
Whatever this 5nm product might be – and any guess at this point really would be a shot in the dark – it won’t be for the near-term, of course, so you can forget the idea that, say, the GeForce 3000 series will be 5nm; Nvidia’s next GPUs will be 7nm.
Obviously this is just the word from industry sources which talked to DigiTimes (in a paywalled article), and the publication isn’t always the most reliable when it comes to rumors, so certainly treat this with a healthy amount of skepticism.
Apple and AMD
Apple has already been placing 5nm orders with TSMC, we’ve already heard, for A14 chips to be used in the iPhone 12, and allegedly for ARM CPUs to be used in Macs reportedly due in 2021 (it has been previously rumored that Apple will push out some kind of ARM-powered Mac in the first half of next year).
AMD is also supposedly placing 5nm orders with TSMC for next-gen Epyc processors (Genoa) to be used in servers.
DigiTimes also underlines that TSMC is set to seriously financially benefit from the ramp-up of orders from both AMD and Nvidia, in terms of 7nm products (and also 16nm and 12nm from the latter, which include the Nintendo Switch processor, and existing GeForce graphics cards).

No, this is not some creation from the backwoods of Georgia. Fiat actually partnered with Mercurio Cinematografica to wed a Panda 4x4 with a Jeep CJ7. The result is the plucky face of the Panda astride a set of 59-inch tractor tires. The whole contraption sits 3.9 metres (12.8 feet) tall and took just over two weeks to build from start to finish.
We imagine driving this thing is a bit like trying to coax a jello mould down the road. There's no word on whether engineers kept the Panda's engine and transmission or abandoned them for the AMC bits. Our money's on the latter. Fiat says the hardest part was getting the brakes, steering, clutch and accelerator controls to cooperate with the archaic bones below.
So, why build it? Fiat is currently in the midst of an advertising campaign that highlight's the Panda's attributes, and building a Big Foot version of the little hatchback was the easiest way to show off the vehicle's off-road prowess. You can watch it play in the snow in the video below.

Telecommunication systems currently being considered for deployment will use large numbers of Wavelength Division Multiplexers/Demultiplexers (WDMs) and uniform or nonuniform couplers (or splitters) in the outside plant. These passive fiber optic (PFO) components will be installed in pedestals, be deployed in aerial cables and be buried underground; and they will be expected to exceed the high reliability and low maintenance of the copper they replace. In order to demonstrate the long-term capability of the PFO components to perform their function reliably, they must pass a comprehensive reliability test program which attempts to duplicate the stresses which the components are expected to experience over a 20 year operating life. The qualification test requirements for PFO components are addressed in Belicore Technical Advisory TA-NWT-001221 "Generic Requirements for Passive Fiber Optic Component Reliability Assurance Practices" 1 PFOcomponents are currently being produced by several technologies, i. e. ,fused biconic taper, integrated waveguiding substrate, or GRIN-rod lens. The generic requirements in TA-NWT-001221 are based on application requirements and were developed without regard for a particular manufacturing technology. Bellcore has undertaken a program to support these generic requirements by subjecting PFO components from several manufacturers to accelerated stress tests. The tests are based on industry accepted standard test procedures (principally EIA/TIA), and the test conditions are based on the environments the components are expected to encounter in the field. The requirements of the proposed qualification test program, the tests being performed in support of these generic requirements and the results obtained to date, are the subject of this paper.

steam-spouting press table, a steam-generating chamber of the heat-plate
type disposed under the steam-spouting press table, compressive water-feed
valve means mounted on the steam-generating chamber, and waste steam
suction means disposed beside the steam-generating chamber. In operation,
a necessary amount of water is fed into the steam-generating chamber by
means of the compressive water-feed valve means against the steam pressure
in the chamber. Steam produced in the steam-generating chamber is spouted
out through the mattress of the press table to effect the finish of the
materials pressed between the mattress and the cover plate of the press
table. The steam suction means further enhances the finishing effect by
sucking away the steam permeated into the materials.

For a British Empire that stretched across much of the globe at the start of the nineteenth century, the interiors of Africa and Australia remained intriguing mysteries. The challenge of opening these continents to imperial influence fell to a proto-professional coterie of determined explorers. They sought knowledge, adventure, and fame, but often experienced confusion, fear, and failure. The Last Blank Spaces follows the arc of these explorations, from idea to practice, from intention to outcome, from myth to reality. Those who conducted the hundreds of expeditions that probed Africa and Australia in the nineteenth century adopted a mode of scientific investigation that had been developed by previous generations of seaborne explorers. They likened the two continents to oceans, empty spaces that could be made truly knowable only by mapping, measuring, observing, and preserving. They found, however, that their survival and success depended less on this system of universal knowledge than it did on the local knowledge possessed by native peoples. While explorers sought to advance the interests of Britain and its emigrant communities, Dane Kennedy discovers a more complex outcome: expeditions that failed ignominiously, explorers whose loyalties proved ambivalent or divided, and, above all, local states and peoples who diverted expeditions to serve their own purposes. The collisions, and occasional convergences, between British and indigenous values, interests, and modes of knowing the world are brought to the fore in this fresh and engaging study.« Less

Thanksgiving is a holiday that is often centered around food. We all love the holiday’s classic dishes, but cooking large Thanksgiving meals often creates a lot of waste. Americans toss around 200 million pounds of turkey meat after Thanksgiving each year, along with 48 million pounds of sweet potatoes and 45 million pounds of green beans.
So, why is that bad for the planet? Because when food goes to landfills instead of a compost, it doesn’t break down correctly. Landfills typically lack oxygen for food to break down aerobically into soil and water. Instead, food breaks down anaerobically and releases methane, a harmful greenhouse gas. In fact, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation states that the amount of food waste generated is equal to 476,000 metric tons of CO2 emitted. That is a lot of food waste and a large carbon footprint! This Thanksgiving, cut down on waste with these tips:
Low-Waste Grocery List
When we make our Thanksgiving grocery list, we usually start with what we need, not what we have. This year, before you start making your list, check your refrigerator and pantry to see what items you already have. You might have more than you think, and it can help cut down on a lot of waste if you don’t buy duplicate items. Once you’ve taken stock of what you have, make sure that you make a list and stick to it! You can save money and reduce waste by avoiding extra items that you don’t really need. Once you have your list ready to go, grab your reusable grocery bags and shop local!
Low-Waste Grocery Shopping
If you can, shop local for Thanksgiving groceries. It can help you cut down on your carbon footprint and help you only buy what you need. Produce from a farmer’s market is fresher and comes to you from a close distance. This means it takes fewer carbon emissions to get the food to you. If you don’t have access to a farmer’s market or other local produce, consider buying produce for Thanksgiving from Imperfect Foods or Misfits Market. Imperfect Foods and Misfits Market take produce that would otherwise go to waste and ship it directly to your home.
Composting Thanksgiving Food Scraps
If you don’t already compost, Thanksgiving is the perfect time to start! All of your food scraps from fruits and vegetables are the perfect beginnings for your compost pile. Make sure you have enough greens and browns for your pile, meaning use a mix of fruit and vegetable scraps, yard waste and even some paper or cardboard. Make sure you water your compost pile, and you will be all set. Just don’t throw any turkey or other meat or poultry scraps into your pile. Animal fats are hard to break down and can spoil a compost pile. If you can’t compost at home, look for a local composting facility to drop off your food waste.
What To Do With Thanksgiving Leftovers
Before you start cooking, be sure that you need all of the ingredients you are using because if you leave them packaged, they are easy to donate. Save any leftover packaged or canned food to donate to local shelters and food banks. You can cut down on waste and help the community!
Another alternative: Put your chef hat on and get creative in the kitchen. Meat and veggie scraps make great bases and broths for soups and stews. As for the mashed potatoes and cranberries, check out this list of recipe ideas.
How To Sustainably Store Leftovers
Inevitably, you will have Thanksgiving leftovers, and the best way to reduce your food waste is to eat them! When you store your leftovers, do so sustainably. Use glass containers, try using bowls and covering them with plates and look for jars to reuse. If you are having guests for dinner, ask them to bring their own containers for leftovers to take home. That way you can spread the leftovers and reduce waste. Make this Thanksgiving about giving thanks, not making waste.

July-December 1995 Vol. XV, No. 3-4
10 July 2022
This issue fixates on three important themes: history, development, and government. In the historical theme, Sales scrutinizes Spanish-Moro relations in the context of Zamboanga between 1598 and 1899. Such relations were characterized by bloody encounters and Spanish influences on Zamboanga inhabitants. These influences echoed through songs, dances, and language. In fact, chavacano is still being spoken today. Next, in the developmental theme, Abaya-Ulindang discusses the issue of land which has caused various conflicts in Mindanao over the years. The author explains how the land conflict stems from the resettling of former Huk members through EDCOR, or the Economic Development Corps. Their presence triggered several issues, which are all rooted in the differences in perceptions towards land ownership between the two entities. In particular, these differences are predicated on the Torrens system of land titling vis-a-vis the Moro concept of communal land ownership. All these prompted violent encounters, producing negative effects on the peace process in the region. Abaya-Ulindang also provides resolutions to such land conflicts in the paper. Lastly, in the governmental theme, Lingga examines the political thought of Salamat Hashim, the chairman of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front of MILF vis-a-vis the concept of Bangsa Moro state and government. The author reports on how any attempt to solve the Mindanao conflict without the establishment of an Islamic state and government is an exercise of futility according to Hashim.
