Atletico v Bayern: Simeone bids to add to Guardiola's semi-final woes
For Atletico it's Diego Simeone, master of the art of defending, against Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola, the man who embraced tiki-taka – the art of maintaining possession through short passing and movement – and took it to a whole new level.
Defeats by Spanish opponents in successive semi-finals will be a cause for concern for Guardiola, and Bayern’s record of just two wins from their last 12 games in Spain bodes well for Atletico's chances.
While fellow semi-finalists Manchester City and Real Madrid have splashed the cash in search of Champions League glory, both Simeone and Guardiola have been significantly more prudent by comparison.
Over the past four seasons Manchester City have had the biggest outlay of this year's last four, spending a staggering $520 million.
Real have spent $456m during the same period, while Atletico ($320m) and Bayern ($298m) lag some way behind.
With Guardiola taking over at City next season, the tie against Atletico represents his last chance to reach a European final with Bayern.
Although he will leave the club with three successive Bundesliga titles under his belt, a failure in a third successive Champions League semi-final could tarnish his reputation.
Bayern are much like Guardiola's Barcelona were in the way they retain possession, but Atletico are a team who are quite happy to let their opponents have the ball and punish them when the chance arises.
The two teams' only previous meeting in Europe came in the European Cup final in 1974.
After fighting out a 1-1 draw at the Heysel Stadium, they returned to Brussels for a replay where Bayern ran out 4-0 winners.
Atletico have reached the semi-final stage on four occasions, winning two, while Bayern have won 10 of their previous 17 ties at this stage of the competition.
The Spanish side have not lost a semi-final tie at home, winning three and drawing one.
Simeone's team have lost once at home this term – 2-1 against Benfica in the group stages – but they have won 24 of their last 29 European matches at the Vicente Calderon Stadium.
Atletico's 1-0 defeat at Barcelona in the last round was their only away Champions League loss this season.
Bayern have drawn their last two away games 2-2 in the competition at Juventus and Benfica, while they have won only two of their last nine away games, losing on four occasions.
However, Guardiola's team boast an impressive home record in Europe so far this season, winning all five games by a combined scoreline of 19-3.
Both teams are in excellent form going into the game, with Atletico winning their previous five matches while Bayern are unbeaten in their last 11.
With Bayern having the advantage of the second leg in Germany they will be confident of success, but Atletico under Simeone are a tough nut to crack and they may just make it an all-Spanish affair against Real in the final in Milan on May 28.

Android Can’t Format 32 GB Storage Cards Yet
It looks like a software limitation of the Android OS right now is that the mobile operating system cannot accept 32 GB micro SDHC cards at present. Google says that the situation could be rectified via a forthcoming OTA software update, however, but we don’t see this as a big issue as 32 GB micro SDHC cards are still hard to come by at this time.
Update: Android can’t format the cards but can still accept them.

Kew Gardens are the world-renowned botanical gardens based in South West London. It is a bit of a journey from the city centre out towards Kew, but the gardens are well worth a visit.
The commonly used image of Kew is its gigantic Palm House overlooking a large freshwater lake. This Victorian glass palace recreates a rainforest climate for some unusual species of palms (some growing as high as the glass house).
Top Tip: it is hot and humid, so protect your camera!
Kew prides itself on conservation and education, and one of its recent installations in a giant hive. Bumblebee numbers are in decline in the UK, and without these little workers, many species of plant would be in trouble. The installation mimics the sounds and activity of a real hive, and it changes throughout the day.
Princess of Wales Conservatory
The Princess of Wales Conservatory is my favourite place in Kew, with 10 different zones within the conservatory. There are dry climates replicating deserts, wet rainforest climates, orchid and fern rooms and most interestingly two rooms on carnivorous plants, including the unique Amorphophallus titanum produces a stench of rotting flesh to attract insects in the tropical rainforest.
There is so much to this green space, with water lily ponds and giant redwood trees, to a Japanese pagoda and a treetop walkway.
Spend a few hours, stop off at some of the restaurants or cafes and enjoy learning about some of the most fascinating flora.

In a growing trend, doctors come from various countries to Germany. The shortage of health care professionals in our country has strengthened this development. The prerequisite for their efficient use for inpatient and outpatient care is their optimal integration into the German health care system.
The Freiburg International Academy has recognized this trend in time and offered various qualification programs. The goal of this institution is to establish common scientifically based teaching approaches with the participation of renowned professors, experienced specialists and medical educators.
We stand for better integration of international health care professionals through attainment of competence.

Supporters of transgender Nebraskans hold signs in the Rotunda of the Nebraska State Capitol to meet senators following the second day of debate on LB 574 on Wednesday, March 22, 2023, in Lincoln, Neb. (Zach Wendling/Nebraska Examiner)
LINCOLN — Frayed nerves over how much power the Nebraska Legislature gives to minority voices to delay or derail the majority’s will erupted into a floor fight Tuesday over Unicameral rules. The result: A frustrated majority set new limits on motions that slow the passage of bills.
The senators causing the slowdown promised to continue finding ways to paralyze the session if the Legislature’s majority keeps trying to pass bills targeting transgender young people. Their top target is Legislative Bill 574, which would prohibit procedures such as puberty blockers, hormone therapies and genital or non-genital surgeries until the age of 19. It also would bar medical providers from making referrals for such care.
State Sen. Steve Erdman of Bayard secured a 32-13 vote passing the new rules, which restrict how often senators can seek to pause debate, send a bill back to a committee or indefinitely postpone discussion. Only one of each type of motion per day, per round of debate can be filed.
“I think this rule change is a fair rule change so we can have full and fair debate on the bills as presented,” said Erdman, who spent much of the debate discussing how many bills had been bottled up. “Listen to who is in opposition, and you can quickly conclude why we’ve wasted 50 days.”
Resistance won’t stop
State Sens. Megan Hunt and Machaela Cavanaugh, both of Omaha, who have been leading the resistance to LB 574, said they would continue to find ways to slow down the lawmaking process, regardless of what tools the majority limits.
By day’s end, they had made good on the threat. Hunt, Cavanaugh and State Sen. Danielle Conrad of Lincoln had filed 742 motions on the bills that have come out of committee, taking up each of the three slots senators have under the new rules to file priority motions. They promised to do so on every bill that reaches the floor.
“We are blowing up this session,” Hunt said. “The session is over, and it’s on your terms. The terms were made clear to you for the last four to six weeks. Hating trans kids is more important to you than the rest of this session. … Human rights are hanging by a thread.”
Several in the Republican majority of the officially nonpartisan Legislature, including State Sen. Lou Ann Linehan of Omaha, said they were frustrated by filibustering Democrats who kept 30 colleagues from speaking more on the microphone during last week’s debate on LB 574.
State Sen. Mike Moser of Columbus said he and other GOP senators couldn’t trust assurances from Cavanaugh and other Democrats that the tactic wouldn’t be tried again.
Before Tuesday, senators could file as many priority motions on a bill as they liked. They could also withdraw the motions and introduce new ones, a technique that former State Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha used to force the majority to kill or amend a bill he opposed.
Linehan said she was taken aback last week by the 15 motions filed that let opponents of the bill dominate floor debate Thursday about LB 574. She criticized the filibustering senators for embracing a tactic that let them call out other senators by name while leaving those senators no chance to reply on the floor.
“What happened last Thursday had never happened before,” Linehan said. “It wasn’t a debate. … Everybody who was speaking knew that nobody could respond. When you have a plan that you’re going to belittle people and they can’t respond … people are going to change the rules.”
Erdman secured approval of his proposal to simultaneously suspend and change the Legislature’s rules until the end of the session, despite criticism from several senators that the legislative rules required holding separate votes to suspend the rules and change them, as well as requiring the Rules Committee to schedule a public hearing on any proposed changes.
State Sen. Justin Wayne of Omaha said he understood that members of the conservative majority can do what they choose but said they shouldn’t ditch their own rules in order to change them.
“It’s OK to win,” Wayne said. “Let’s do it the right way under our rules.”
Erdman dismissed the objections, saying that he is chair of the Rules Committee and would know. He said a proposal the committee didn’t adopt at the start of the session from Speaker of the Legislature John Arch was close enough to his proposed change that no additional public hearing was required.
The proposal adopted Tuesday differs from Arch’s earlier proposal, however, in the degree of limits set on state senators. Arch’s proposal would have limited senators to one of each type of motion per day per senator. Erdman’s allows just a single senator to propose one of each type of priority motion daily.
Arch told the Nebraska Examiner before the rules debate that his goal was not to depart from decades of legislative tradition but to reinvigorate traditional debate on the bills being discussed. Senators, he said, would like to discuss the merits of bills and aren’t getting the chance.
He said he has heard no serious push to change any other rules this way. He defended his efforts to negotiate a way forward with Cavanaugh and said he would make sure the most important budget and tax-cutting bills get heard no matter the delays attempted.
Filibustering senators find ways
State Sen. Wendy DeBoer of Bennington said no rules change would be able to stop a filibuster. She said that determined senators would find a way even if 25 rules were changed. State Sen. Tom Briese of Albion said such efforts to stifle debate fly in the face of good governance.
The legislative record for Tuesday shows a full page of amendments from Hunt and Cavanaugh filed on every bill that has made its way out of committee. Cavanaugh, whose weeks-long filibuster has drawn national attention, said she would not stop until the anti-trans bills are killed.
“This does nothing to hinder my ability to do and achieve what I want to do and achieve,” she said.
Conrad criticized the legislative majority’s attempt to toss aside legislative processes whenever they cannot easily achieve the result they want.
“A filibuster will flow like water” around the new rules, she said.
Erdman wasn’t convinced. He asked senators why Democrats would object to the rules change if it made no difference.
“We have given numerous and plentiful opportunities to the minority to have their voices heard,” he said. “The point today is today is the time to move on.”

Healthy cooking for special diets doesn’t need to be a chore. The key is to remember important issues for each diet, and to creatively change your recipes to meet those needs.
Vegetarian cooking isn’t difficult. The goal here is to remember that varying degrees of exclusion of animal products from someone’s diet sometimes makes it difficult to lay hands on certain proteins. Most plants, legumes, and grains contain at least some amino acids that make the complete proteins found in animal products. Mixing and matching foods is a great way to be sure that vegetarians get all amino acids. Your job is made easier by the fact that most vegetarians are not vegans, which means that many include some variant of animal products into their diets.
These proteins are excellent supplements to a vegetarian dish of their favor. Textured vegetable protein (TVP), and soy proteins such as those found in tofu and Boca also make vegetarian cooking much easier. Most of these proteins don’t have much flavor of their own, so they’ll blend in nicely with whatever dish you’re cooking. When it comes to vegetables and grains, just remember the basics: the more colorful the vegetable, the more nutrients it has, and whole grains make better nutrition than their bleached counterparts. Legumes are excellent resources, but be sure to cook them well as legumes are often difficult to digest for most people.
Many of the same rules for vegetarian cooking also apply for diabetic cooking. Instead of animal products and protein, the issue here is sugar. When most people think of sugar, they think of candy and other sweets. However, there are other foods that contain those simple sugars that often overload the system of diabetics. So, the goal for preparing diabetic dishes is to avoid the temptation to use these sugars in excess. Try using whole grains instead of bleached ones such as white bread and pastas.
Feel free to serve dessert, but try using a sugar substitute and stick to whole grain flour. Sugar substitutes are a must for consideration when serving drinks such as sweet tea and soda. Fruit is a possibility, but don’t expect your diabetic guest to eat a whole bowl full. Even so, keep some sugary snacks and juices on hand for blood sugar emergencies when blood sugar has dipped well below healthy levels.
Light cooking recipes presents the least hassle because most westerners are beginning to appreciate its benefits as a means of disease prevention. The trick to light cooking is simple. Stay away from heavy meats such as meat with a lot of fat on it or red meat. Try substituting meat with TVP or tofu when you can get away with it. Lightly fry foods in cooking spray rather than butter or oil, and use foods that will offer the best nutrition possible.
The goal of healthy cooking for special diets is to fill the belly with enriching foods that promote good health. Of equal importance is to find creative ways to meet dietary needs without much fuss.

Two men whose boat went over a dam in downtown Kankakee were rescued from the icy waters of the Kankakee River this morning. The men were spotted in the river at 9:55 a.m. when their boat went over the dam, near the Washington Street bridge, Kankakee Fire Chief Ron Young said. "They were wearing life jackets and they were able to make it to a place where they could stand waist deep," Young said. "Using a boat from another agency, we were able to get them out of the water within 20 minutes.

Diagnosis of Kallmann syndrome or CHH.
Kallmann syndrome and CHH can cause a range of symptoms of differing severity so it is not always easy to diagnose the condition.
There is no one single blood or genetic test that can confirm a case of Kallmann syndrome or CHH. Often doctors will have to run a series of tests to eliminate other conditions before being able to confirm the diagnosis.
The failure to start puberty by the age of 15 for girls and 16 for boys could give an indication the condition is present.
The start of puberty of is normally marked physically with the first menstrual bleed in girls or testicular development in boys.
Even at the age of 16 or 17 it is still important for the doctor to be able to distinguish between a case of puberty starting late or a true case of Kallmann syndrome or CHH.
Often the term "late developer" or "late bloomer" is used by doctors. This can delay the correct diagnosis and treatment of people with Kallmann syndrome and CHH. Referral to an endocrinologist, especially a reproductive endocrinologist should be considered, especially if some of the other associated symptoms are present.

Pick Up The Pieces And Get Out of Denial
Why are we so much in fear of change in our lives? Are we afraid to go out into the world without our crutch to lean on, or is it just that we have given up on ourselves?
We need to be able to pick up the pieces and get out of denial and start a new life. As hard as it might seem it can be done with the right frame of mind and the willingness to do so.
While addicted, we live in a world of make believe and the surrounding world is not in existence to us. We live and breath our alcohol demons and have started a somewhat relationship with then, such as a relationship with a spouse. This is sad to say but so very true.
Some of us even put our addiction in front of everything, including our family and friends.
When we see our world start to fall to pieces, "as I did" is when we better start to take action to change it quickly before it's too late. As the addiction takes hold of us more and more each day it makes it even harder to come out from under it.
Don't waste any more time if you truly want change, and to live in that life of sobriety again. Pick up all those broken pieces and start to put them back together again just like you would a puzzle. Sometimes it is hard to find where that one piece goes in the puzzle, but as you keep working on it and looking for where that piece goes it will be found and put in it's right place.
The same goes in life. You will find where the missing pieces go. It might take some time, but it will happen. After all, it took time to break your life into pieces, and will take time to put it back together. Nothing is a overnight fix, but if you keep working on it, everything will fall into place in time, and you will see that the puzzle is totally together and all in one piece.
Get out of denial and make that change in your life and see just how your life will start to come back together just as the puzzle did.
I thought to myself, so many people and famous people at that, have walked away from their addictions and started a new so why am I any different. Anyone can pick up their pieces and stand tall again if you chose to do so.
Life is so precious so why do we abuse it so bad with an addiction that can really be avoided by us. We need to have the power and strength and overcome our demons and take control of our lives again.
Think with a Positive Attitude and you will be able to achieve anything in your life including regaining your sobriety back and start to live the clean life again.
WOULD YOU PICK UP ONE OF THESE PIECES?

Baleaf Men's Elite Cycling Bib Tights Shorts UPF 50+ Black Size L
Baleaf Men's Elite Cycling Bib Tights Shorts UPF
Whether you're relatively new to riding, or have recently decided to get more serious about your fitness and training, you're ready to bridge the gap from traditional cycling shorts to bib shorts. If you're already a convert then you'll probably know exactly what we're talking about! Many who start using bibs say that they will never look back - sounds like what we all used to say about pedals when clipless were first introduced. Bib shorts are found by most, if not all, to be the most comfortable option for a riding short - but of course this relies heavily on getting the fit right (see the size guide of waist measurement above). Lack of a waistband and the fact that bib straps serve to hold the shorts up in proper position significantly contribute to the comfort factor. Preferred by professional cyclists and general enthusiasts alike, with a cycling jersey worn over the top bystanders can't tell the difference between bib shorts and traditional ones. Baleaf Cycling Bib Shorts, affordable Pro cycling clothing.

Castelli Volo Bib Short - Men's Black/White,
When you're looking for support to get you to the finish line, Castelli makes a good case for the Volo Bib Shorts. Cast as a top-tier workhorse of race shorts, the Volo Bibs are designed for flying down the road, with Affinity BLC textured fabric that elevates aerodynamics as you push to the front of the peloton. The Volo Bib Shorts earn the Castelli name by continuing tradition of elite construction, but with a bit more of an affordable price. They combine a light mesh bib that breathes with ease with aerodynamic dimpled fabric through the front and outside of the thighs that help you cut through the air ahead. The inner thigh gives you the added benefits of Affinity Lycra for elevated stretch and rebound, so you can keep a snug fit while maintaining comfort. Flat lock stitching helps prevent chaffing on all-day epics, and clean raw edge hems make for both a smooth aesthetic and a slip-free grip. Castelli employs the well-loved Kiss Air seat pad in the Volo, for all day comfort on the bike. The Kiss Air meets your skin with seamless brushed microfiber to eliminate chaffing, with just enough flexibility to move with you. It's cut anatomically for pressure reduction in your mist sensitive zones, and support where you need it the most. The multi-density foam tapers from 14-to-4-mil...

This week on World of Opera, host Lisa Simeone presents La Sonnambula from the Grand Liceu Theatre in Barcelona. The stars in this production truly are stars: the great bel canto tenor Juan Diego Flórez, and the exciting soprano Patrizia Ciofi, in a performance led by conductor Daniel Oren.
Until La Sonnambula, and after it as well, all of Vincenzo Bellini's mature works were designated as serious operas. They all featured betrayal, backstabbing, heartbreak and graphic death: throat-slitting, poison, immolation, you name it.
Bellini's first big hit was The Pirate, with a story of tragic love, blackmail, and murder. His next one was The Stranger, where we see a despondent lover stab himself to death in the middle of his own wedding! Then there's Norma, Bellini's most famous opera. In that one the title character is burned alive after falling for the wrong guy.
But La Sonnambula is something altogether different. Perhaps to appease the critics of his time, Bellini decided to compose an opera about an innocent mistake— a sleep walker who happens to end up in the wrong man's bed. Instead of our lead character burning at the stake, she's proven innocent in the end, though not without strife in the interim of course.
This production features soprano Eleonora Buratto as Lisa and bass Nicola Ulivieri as Rodolfo as well as the Orchestra and Chorus of the Grand Liceu Theatre.
Conductor: Daniel Oren
Amina: Patrizia Ciofi (soprano)
Elvino: Juan Diego Flórez (tenor)
Lisa: Eleonora Buratto (soprano)
Rodolfo: Nicola Ulivieri (bass)
Teresa: Gemma Coma-Alabert (mezzo-soprano)
Alessio: Alex Sanmartí (bass)

We spent 2 nights at a private house directly on Flagler Beach on the East Coast of Florida. It was a little choppy, but otherwise very pleasant weather.
Doesn't every vacation have one catastrophe? Well ours happened to poor Baxter the lemon beagle. Thirty minutes there and the poor guy pulled out his toenail on the less than study looking dock.
Baked chicken kiev, roasted asparagus and red potatoes, crab cakes for me, and baked beans.
|Healthy groceries to munch on!|
The second day was very relaxing.We started with a breakfast of sausage, biscuits, eggs, and gravy. I had Kashi cereal with berries.
Kelsey is faster then me so she got in 4 miles while I did 3.4. Then we did some full body moves on the patio. Pin It
Weekends are good. Weekends at the beach are even better!

Dunlap nets three winners at Duck Race
Three Dunlap residents walked away with prizes out of the nearly 20,000 yellow rubber duckies released into the Illinois River on Sunday.
The ducks, which were released for the 23rd annual Center for Prevention of Abuse Duck Race, helped raise more than $15,000 for the center.
Martha Wright’s duck crossed the finish line fifth, earning her a $500 gift card to the Shoppes of Grand Prairie.
Meanwhile, Ede Kidder’s duck finished 11th, and Michael Shearer’s duck crossed the line as No. 13.
Kidder walked away with a $100 Fresh Market gift card, and Shearer got a $100 gift card to Avanti’s Italian Restaurant.
“The Duck Race is a fun way for The Center to raise funds and public awareness in our community,” said Martha Herm, executive director. “The more people know about our services to stop abuse, the more effective we all become in keeping our communities safe.”

US 4393331 A
High pressure mercury vapor discharge lamp having an outer bulb which is ferably spherical and which provides light having a color similar to that of an incandescent lamp. The inner surface of the outer bulb is provided with a red-emitting phosphor coating. The outer surface of the outer bulb is provided with a filter coating whose transmittance at 400 nm is about 40%, at 500 nm is about 60%, and at 600 nm is about 70%.
1. An improved high pressure mercury vapor discharge lamp comprising an inner arc tube which radiates light with electric leads attached thereto surrounded by an outer transparent bulb, the inner surface of said outer bulb being coated with a phosphor coating and the outer surface of said outer bulb being coated with a luster filter coating,
the improvement comprising said phosphor coating on said inner surface being a red-emitting phosphor coating and the luster filter coating on said outer surface being an orange luster whose transmittance at 400 nm is about 40%, at 500 nm is about 60%, and at 600 nm is about 70%, whereby said lamp radiates light having a color similar to that of an incandescent lamp with a color temperature of about 2,800° K.
2. The lamp of claim 1 wherein the red-emitting phosphor coating comprises europium activated yttrium vanadate phosphate.
3. The lamp of any of claims 1 or 2 wherein said outer bulb is of spherical shape.
The present invention provides a high pressure mercury vapor discharge lamp having an arc tube surrounded by an outer bulb which produces light having a color similar to that of an incandescent lamp.
It is known to apply coatings to the outer envelope which are filters for light, i.e. filter coatings. In one instance, an ellipsoidal outer bulb of a high pressure mercury vapor discharge lamp has a phosphor coating on its inner surface which emits yellow light and light of shorter wavelengths. A filter coating which transmits the yellow light and absorbs the light of the shorter wavelengths is applied to the outside of said outer bulb. This lamp is intended for use in street lighting instead of sodium vapor lamps at locations where there may be some danger to traffic, see British Patent Specification No. 818,423. Another high pressure mercury vapor discharge lamp intended for use to stimulate plant growth has two coatings applied to the inner surface of the outer bulb. The coatings comprise a filter coating consisting of cobalt aluminate. The cobalt aluminate filter coating is positioned between the inner glass wall of the outer bulb and the phosphor coating, see Japanese Patent Publication No. 43-3864.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a high pressure mercury vapor discharge lamp which has improved color rendering characteristics and which may be used for decorative outdoor and indoor lighting.
The present invention provides a high pressure mercury vapor discharge lamp having an arc tube which is surrounded by an outer bulb. The inner surface of the outer bulb is coated with a phosphor coating. The outer surface of the outer bulb is coated with a filter coating. The phosphor coating is a red-emitting phosphor. The filter coating is a coating whose transmittance at 400 nm is about 40%, at 500 nm about 60%, and at 600 nm about 70%.
The red emitting phosphor coating intended for use in combination with the filter coating of the present invention is preferably a europium-activated yttrium vanadate phosphate.
The filter coating preferably consists of a luster, i.e. a lustrous or gilded material preferably having a gold brown color when the lamp is not in operation. This latter feature is an advantage in that it provides a decorative appearance for the lamp even when it is not in operation which decorative appearance or effect is enhanced by the spherical shape of the outer bulb. The spherical shape of the outer bulb has the further advantage that there is a higher resistance to temperature changes because the temperature of the outer bulb is reduced because of the greater volume of the spherical shape which the outer bulb has.
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of the high pressure mercury vapor discharge lamp.
FIG. 2 is a cross-section of a detail of the coated outer bulb wall of the lamp.
FIG. 3 is a graph depicting the transmittance τ (λ) of the filter coating in % as a function of the wavelength λ in nanometers.
FIG. 4 depicts the spectral radiant flux Φ in watts per 5 nm.
In FIG. 1, the arc tube 1 of quartz glass is surrounded by an outer bulb 2 of soft glass which is provided with a screw base 3. The diameter of the outer bulb is 126 mm. The inner surface of the outer bulb 2 is covered (coated) with a phosphor of europium activated yttrium vanadate phosphate 4. The outer surface of the outer bulb 2 is coated with a luster color (filter coating) 5. The luster color 5 has the transmittance characteristics depicted in FIG. 3 of about 40% at 400 nm, about 60% at 500 nm and about 70% at 600 nm. FIG. 4 depicts the spectral radiant flux Φ of a 50 W lamp in accordance with the innovation. This spectral distribution yields the above color temperature and color rendering data.
The spherical discharge lamps of the present invention have low luminance, no glare, and a long life because of the large bulb diameter. They have the advantage of providing high pressure discharge lamps which are decorative clear glass lamps. The specific phosphor type, the thickness of the phosphor coating, and the filter coating are matched such that the high blue and green portions of the high pressure mercury vapor lamp are reduced without, however, reducing the red luminescent radiation of the phosphor. Because of the combination of the red-emitting phosphor with a filter coating having the specified transmittance characterstics, the discharge lamp provides light having a color similar to that of an incandescent lamp, i.e. a color temperature of approximately 2800 K, and a color rendering index Ra 60. This is different than the usual high pressure mercury vapor discharge lamps having europium activated yttrium vanadate phosphate or similar phosphors coated thereon which have a color temperature of 3500 K or higher, and a color rendering index of at most Ra 46.
The lamps of the present invention are particularly suited for outdoor lighting, for example, for lighting pedestrian areas, promenades, for park and garden illumination as well as for illuminating luminous structural elements. They are also suitable for the indoor lighting of foyers, halls, and are suitable for various decorative applications in which they provide long periods of service.
In a preferred embodiment of the lamp, the europium-activated yttrium vanadate phosphate is applied in a thickness of 2.5 mg/cm2 over the inner surface of the outer bulb which has a diameter of 126 mm. The lustrous filter-coating having the characteristics specified for the present lamp is applied over the outer surface of said outer bulb. The thickness of said filter coating is <0.1 microns. Said filter coating consists of a commercially available luster (which may be obtained, for instance, from Heraeus, Germany, under the designation "Lusterfarbe Orange N 475 A"). In accordance with Rompps Chemie Lexikon, lusters are enamel-type pigments by which iridescent, shining coatings are produced upon burning on glass, earthenware, porcelain and the like. After the burning, the luster constitutes on the glazing or on the glass an extremely thin film of oxides (coating thickness <0.1 μm). The said thin coating and the diversity of the optical refractive indexes of the luster colors and of the glazing or of the glass are the causes for the luster which is characterized by color, iridescent effect and sheen.
The europium-activated yttrium vanadate phosphate phosphor is of the type customarily used in high pressure mercury vapor discharge lamps.
Various changes and modifications may be made within the scope of the inventive concept.

This morning, I started my day as usual, drinking coffee and reading through daily devotionals and blog posts that had come into my email overnight. A post by Brandon Adams struck a chord. He had been working hard on himself, only to discover there was more to do.
“Perhaps we shouldn’t quail when we’re confronted with yet another task, wearying though our journey be,” he wrote. “Perhaps we should throw ourselves headlong into it without hesitation…”
Lately, it’s been one thing after another—you know how it goes. More family, more house, more church, more neighborhood commitments. Just when I think I’ve gotten a handle on things, God gives me another task to do.
It’s for my own good, I understand, to grow my faith. But when I’ve got a mission, I’m like a dog with a bone—focused on the task at hand. And I worry that poor bone, too. Sometimes I need to spend a little time outside, admiring the beauty of God’s creation, to keep things in perspective.
This week, it’s daylilies.
Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. Matthew 6:28b-29 (NLT)
Lilies are an ancient flower. They were revered by the Greeks and have the honor of being May’s birthday flower and the 30th wedding anniversary flower. The white lily symbolizes chastity and virtue—a symbol of the Virgin Mary. Lilies can represent friendship, devotion, sympathy, wealth, prosperity, humility, and devotion. “As the flowers most often associated with funerals, lilies symbolize that the soul of the departed has received restored innocence after death,” according to the teleflora website.
Timothy Keller’s July 14th entry in The Songs of Jesus: A Year of Daily Devotions in the Psalms referenced to Psalm 80: 3, 7.
Restore us, O God; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.
Restore us, God Almighty; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.
Keller writes, “To have light from God’s face (verses 3 and 7) is not just to believe in God but to experience his presence. It is also to have a life conformed to his, not merely by compulsion out of a sense of duty but by inner desire out of a sense of his beauty. Most believers live in the gray area between these two poles.”
Duty and Beauty. Amen to both.

Last night, I fell in love with Ride's From Time To Time. How do you put a song like this into words?
I didn't pay much attention to it for the first 1:20 when it started playing on my ipod. It starts off nicely, but nothing to blow you away. Then the vocals started, so melodious that it made me look up from the book that I was reading and hit the back button to start the song over again. Then sitting for another 1:20, listening closer. "On a perfect day....I know that angels come from time to time...." An endless loop of swirly guitar. Sublime. Allmusic.com calls it a Vapour Trail, part II, but right now, I love the sweet hooks in this song a million times more. Vapour Trail, for me, never breaks out of its pretty shell, stays too distant. From Time to Time feels more intimate, closer and open. Falling into the opening chords now, looping over and over, it's so gorgeous.
The shock of a song that I must have heard hundreds of times reaching up and biting into my consciousness is easily the biggest reason why I love music. I was reading a moment before; not paying any real attention to what I was listening to. Maybe that inattention was what it needed to push itself up so that I would finally hear it. I know I've played it, sung along to it, before- OX_4 has for months been on high rotation on my car's CD player- but I never actually noticed this one song in the mess of great shoegazing on that album. Getting called to attention by a hook that I'd never expected, falling in love with a new bit of song, happens so rarely- I can remember almost every individual time it's happened to me, when I've scrambled to turn up a volume knob, jammed in earbuds tighter so I can hear what just slipped past in a moment.

Most supply chain managers haven't seen an economic downturn like the present one, and their tendency is to retrench. A truly responsive supply chain may need to increase capabilities in analysis, network design and management. It may even have to increase the number of locations related to inventory and transportation management. It seems counter-intuitive, but these changes might actually lower total supply chain costs given the changing economics. [Run Time (Min): 8:19]

I had no intentions of posting this recipe anytime soon. Really.
As crazy delicious as these cookies are, I thought you would all be cookied out to the max by this time in December.
However, after teasing you with these cookies on Instagram, you obviously had other opinions bordering on rebellion if I didn’t share the recipe.
So. Here you go.
At the risk of sounding dramatic, these Twix-like cookies are definitely in my top favorite cookies of all time. I’ve made four batches this week already and am giving them away right and left (and not just to be nice, if they stay in this house, I am in serious, serious trouble).
That combination is just too much.
A short week ago, these cookies didn’t exist in my reality.
They came about when a longtime reader, Laudan (mamalala in the comments), emailed me about her favorite cookie at a little bakery called Stacey Cakes in McCall, Idaho – a beautiful mountainous resort town a few hours from where I live.
She had successfully made a pretty similar knockoff and thought I might be interested. Clearly she knows me (am I so transparent?).
I felt the timing was somewhat divine considering I had a bowl full of homemade caramel sitting in the refrigerator waiting for the perfect recipe and at risk of just getting eaten out of the bowl when the kids aren’t looking (leftover from making gourmet caramel apples for the kids’ teachers – it’s become a bit of a tradition now).
Honestly, these cookies are amazing.
That buttery, tender, melt-in-your-mouth shortbread layer + soft and chewy caramel + chocolate (drizzled or slathered, your choice) is other-worldly.
Now that you’ve forced me to post about them, I’m forcing you (nicely) to make them. But remember, the quicker they leave your presence, the better. Consider yourself warned.
See How to Make Them Here!
- 1 cup (8 ounces, 2 sticks) butter, softened
- 2/3 cup (5 ounces) granulated sugar
- 3 egg yolks (1.8 – 2 ounces)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups (11.25 ounces) flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Caramel + Chocolate:
- 9 ounces soft caramels for about 1 cup melted (see note)
- A tablespoon or so of cream or milk
- 6 ounces semisweet or milk chocolate for drizzling
- In a large bowl with an electric handheld mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer), mix the butter and sugar until light and creamy, 1-2 minutes. Add the egg yolks and vanilla and mix until combined, scraping the bowl as needed.
- Add the flour and salt and mix until it comes together. Once it forms pea-size crumbs, I abandon the mixer and get in there with my hands to mush it together into a uniform ball.
- Shape the soft dough into small balls. I use my #60 small cookie scoop – about 2 teaspoons of dough or .65 ounces for each cookie. Place the balls close together on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press a small indentation in each cookie ball – don’t make it too wide. I use my thumb and press down – it’s ok if the sides crack a bit, just press them together. They’ll look like little nests (see the picture below for a visual). Refrigerate for an hour (or longer).
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Space the cookies about an inch or so apart on several parchment-lined baking sheets. They’ll puff and spread just slightly but not very much. Bake for 10-11 minutes until set and lightly browned on the edges – the longer they bake (without burning, of course) the more like shortbread they’ll be in texture (versus being too soft). The centers may puff up while baking, just press them back down lightly after they come out of the oven. Let the cookies cool completely.
- For the caramel, if using storebought caramels, unwrap and melt the caramels with a tablespoon or so of milk or cream over low heat in the microwave or on the stovetop until creamy and smooth. Homemade caramel can usually be melted over low heat as well without the need for extra cream or milk. Dollop a bit of caramel into the center of each cooled cookie.
- Let the cookies sit until the caramel cools and sets. Melt the chocolate over low heat in the microwave (or in a double boiler on the stove) and either drizzle chocolate over the cookies or spread a circle of chocolate over each caramel center. Let the chocolate set until hardened (can speed this up by refrigerating the cookies).
For the caramels, you’ll need about 1 cup of melted caramel (not caramel sauce, it needs to be soft and chewy caramels that have been melted until smooth and creamy). I used homemade – if doing so, you don’t need to add the tablespoon or so of cream or milk when melting. If using storebought (like Kraft brand), use that tablespoon of cream or milk when melting the caramels. UPDATE: several commenters have reported back that Kraft caramels were too firm in these cookies (after melting and using them in the cookie). Others have had good success using Kraft – I think the key is not overheating the caramel when melting. Either way, you may explore other storebought options (Trader Joe’s has wonderful soft caramels that may work).
Follow @melskitchencafe on Instagram and show me the recipes you are making from my blog using the hashtag #melskitchencafe. I love seeing all the goodness you are whipping up in your kitchens!
Recipe Source: inspired by this recipe after a reader, Laudan, emailed me with the idea, telling me about her favorite cookie, the Twixster, at Stacey Cakes in McCall, Idaho

Bilingual education in the United States: An overview of its history, public policy, and controversy
The United States has developed into a culturally diverse nation in which bilingual education has emerged as a popular and controversial subject among school systems, the educational community, and the public. Laws concerning bilingual education programs lean heavily on political and social agendas, leaving the educational systems struggling to provide a successful, accommodating, and enriching academic atmosphere for non-English speaking students. This politically charged topic raises questions concerning the academic and social development of bilingual students through the use of past and current bilingual education programs including transitional bilingual education, English immersion, English as a second language, and two-way bilingual education. This paper reviews the literature of bilingual education and provides an overview of its abbreviated history, its components, progress, and controversy.

Matthew D'Ancona on Miliband vs Miliband:
I see the point of David Miliband. The cult of Ed Miliband, on the other hand,
leaves me cold, and always has done. Alastair Campbell is surely spot on
when he says that Ed is a "nice guy" who would make "the
party feel OK about losing". The younger Miliband tickles Labour's
tummy on Iraq, Trident, union legislation and high taxation. He looks like
Donnie Osmond, talks like a Sesame Street character, and holds views
that, in the words of one Blair ally, are "usefully wrong". The
sheer novelty of another Miliband entering the race has given Ed
considerable momentum. But, as the great director Robert Bresson wrote, "novelty
is not originality nor modernity". It is one huge category mistake. Ed
Miliband will never be prime minister. You know it, I know it. So why would
Labour choose not to know it?
Because, in this case, ignorance is so much easier than undertaking the sweaty, mostly thankless task of plotting a route back to power. David offers his party years and years of work, painful analysis and equally difficult change. Ed offers a big smile, a hug and the warm feeling that all those deep Labour instincts were right all along.

Woodlands Vegetarian South Indian Kitchen isn’t kidding about the “vegetarian” thing. Of the restaurant’s nearly 100 menu items, not one contains so much as a trace of meat. Instead, you’ll find South Indian specialties such as uthappam (a crisp, dosa-like pancake) and a variety of curries made with stuffed eggplant, spiced cheeses, or marinated cauliflower. Finish your meal on a sweet note by ordering an Indian dessert such as gulab jamun or by going around the table and saying six things you like about each person there.
India Gate’s chefs immerse fresh shrimp in a spiced marinade and saturate chicken breasts with yogurt and ginger before slow-cooking the meats in a traditional tandoor clay oven. Speared lamb and minced beef pieces also spend time roasting in the oven, while nearby stoves heat pots of curry to simmering, and fluffs up rich basmati rice imported from India. The chefs can also whip up authentic dishes en masse for the restaurant's daily buffets and its banquet hall, which can host up to 250 people for a sit-down dinner or 25 people for a curry-fueled dance off.
The people behind the Bay Leaf Cafe know how to take care of guests. The founder spent 24 years operating day spas before turning to pampering palates with Indian food. The chef, too, knows something about luxury, having cooked for the ultra-upscale Taj Group of Hotels and learned to make naan soft enough to use as a pillow. This training results not in a formal dining environment, but in a welcoming spot that gives diners lots of options. A special Grab & Go menu lets them dash in for rice bowls, chapati wraps, salads, and classic Indian snacks. Those who dine in pore over an extensive selection of mesquite-baked tandoori meats, stuffed naan, vegetarian dishes, and even traditional goat and fish curries.

One of the most unusual personalities on television is “The Box” - a walking, talking cardboard box representing the Progressive Corporation. It has been involved in all sorts of amusing scenarios, but in the latest appearance, we discover that The Box can sing. Who knew?
In late 2018, I was hired by Zero VFX to bring The Box to life for its latest round of “The Box” commercials. In particular, I was asked to animate a lounge singer and record album infomercial parody, Live from the Starlight Lounge! When I first started the gig, a lot of different song segments had been recorded but the client had not yet decided which ones would actually be used in the commercial. The songs were all cleverly written and voice actor Chris Parnell did a great job of singing them. To get a head start, I went ahead and animated an initial pass for at least twelve segments, knowing that most of them would not end up in the final. Some really good songs failed to make the cut, but eventually the client approved an edit so I proceeded with the final animation.
The brilliant Mike Warner at Zero VFX supervised this particular project. Since I had previously animated several Box commercials for Mike, I was familiar with the quirks of how The Box was supposed to behave. One of the trademarks of the character was the cartoon-styled mouth that moves dramatically all over its face. The mandate for the body mannerisms was to create as much realism as possible. Restraint was required as to how far the character could bend lest it be deemed too rubbery. One of my biggest challenges was to deliver a character performance that would please all the powers that be. Sometimes I received notes on the nuances of the performance that came from both Mike and the advertising agency (Arnold Worldwide). Unfortunately, these parties were not necessarily on the same page. Character animation is a subjective art, and opinions on the style of acting can vary. The trick is to find the right balance of ideas and keep everyone happy, including myself! Andrew Rasmussen handled the lighting and texturing of The Box and did a fantastic job matching the difficult high-contrast light of the Starlight Lounge. The project was a pleasure to work on, and it turned out to be among the best of all “The Box” commercials.

Mountain West Conference Announces Baseball Player and Pitcher of the Week
New Mexico's Brian Cavazos-Galvez and Rudy Jaramillo Named MWC Baseball Player and Pitcher of the Week
May 18, 2009
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -New Mexico senior outfielder Brian Cavazos-Galvez and freshman left-hander Rudy Jaramillo have been named the Mountain West Conference Player and Pitcher of the Week, respectively.
Cavazos-Galvez, an Albuquerque, N.M., native, hit .647 (11-for-17) from the plate, with five home runs, one double, 11 RBI and 12 runs scored as New Mexico went 4-0 last week, including a three-game sweep of Air Force in conference play. In an 11-7 win at St. Mary's, Cavazos-Galvez went 2-for-4 with a two home runs, five RBI and two runs scored. In the opener of a three-game conference series vs. Air Force, he went 3-for-6 with one RBI and two runs scored in a 25-7 win. In game two, he went 1-for-2 with one RBI and two runs scored in the Lobos' 6-2 victory. Cavazos-Galvez concluded the series with a 5-for-5, four-RBI and six-run scored performance, including three home runs and a double in New Mexico's 19-6 win.
Jaramillo, from Chandler, Ariz., went 6.0 innings, striking out four batters, walking two and allowing two earned runs in the Lobos' 6-2 victory over Air Force last Friday. He scattered seven hits in his six innings on the mound, tossing three scoreless innings in the process.
