I'm really not being a very good blogger! Sorry about that. Maybe I will do better this week...
I made two new recipes this week, but neither were very exciting to me. The first was Bow-Tie Pasta with Sausage. Southern Living, you're letting me down! Cameron liked it (I think because it has Italian sausage in it), but I wasn't dying to have it again. It turned out a little more soupy than I expected.
The next was from Fitness magazine (should've known) - Chipotle-Glazed Roast Chicken with Sweet Potatoes. This just tasted like chicken with chipotle peppers on it. The sweet potatoes were good though.
You can expect more fish recipes in the future. The hubs has been catching quite a few fish. I think we have about 5 whole flounders in the freezer right now. Yum!

Boiler House Theatre
| Click on image titles for larger views. || |
The boiler house was erected as the main source of heat for the college, providing steam heat for the two classroom buildings, Liberal Arts Hall and Science Hall (now Albert Hall), when they were constructed in 1924.
In 1971, when individual gas boiler units were installed in the various campus buildings, the huge boilers were cooled for the last time and eventually removed. The building was still structurally sound and was transformed into the Boiler House Theatre. Although the original character of the interior was retained, theater lighting was installed along with flexible seating arrangements allowing a variety of stage configurations. A new ceiling, lights, showers, and a restroom were built in the area which had earlier been utilized for the coal bin.
Today, seating accommodates 115 persons, and there are dressing rooms and storage space for costumes and props. On the exterior, the 100-foot smokestack, slate roof, cupola, and colonial trim have been retained so that the facility emits a rustic character.

ALDI Australia buying director Shane Aitken said they decided to bring back the pet sale after seeing a growing demand for pet products from customers.

“We’ve recognised this and have created an on-trend pet range that allows owners to splurge without having to spend enormous amounts of money.”
Get in quick to beat the rush or else your beloved pooch will miss out. And before you ask, no, the adorable Sausage Dog will not be part of the sale.

Drasko Veselinovic took control of Nova Ljubljanska Banka, Slovakia’s biggest bank, in 2009 and resigned after three months into a five-year term citing political interference. “I had to leave because I didn’t agree with some of the crazy ideas of politicians, which would have meant big problems for the bank even sooner than they actually came about,” Veselinovic said. NLB is among the list of state-banks that are carrying portfolios of bad that would probably not be repaid. NLB alone said it has 3 billion euros of poorly performing loans. This has led to speculation that Slovakia could be the sixth member of the 17-member euro zone. Slovakia owns 64% of NLB. Allegations have surfaced that NLB handed out loans to the politically connected. The bank has taken four capital injections totaling more than 1 billion. The Slovakian government denies that its banks are in need of bailouts.

TOPEKA — Kansas’ four members of the U.S. House on Friday endorsed the $2 trillion coronavirus economic relief bill sent to President Donald Trump.
Republican Reps. Ron Estes, Roger Marshall and Steve Watkins and Democratic Rep. Sharice Davids backed the legislation, as did GOP U.S. Sens. Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran. Trump promptly signed the measure.
"America is at war with an enemy we cannot see. COVID-19 has displaced millions of American workers, overloaded our hospitals and disrupted our supply chain," said Watkins, who serves the 2nd District. "We are resilient and we will not only beat this virus, but come out stronger and more unified on the other side."
The bill will send $1,200 checks to many American adults and earmark hundreds of billions to small and large businesses.
Davids, the Democrat from eastern Kansas’ 3rd District, said the bipartisan package provided essential financial aid to workers, businesses and hospitals during the pandemic.
"I will push the Trump administration to make sure we implement this relief immediately to help the health, safety and economic security of our neighbors while providing accountability for the distribution of this aid. But this bill alone is not enough," she said.
Estes, who serves the 4th District that includes Wichita, said the law would streamline ability of the federal government to assist distressed businesses and would expand unemployment benefits. It’s important all levels of government work together during the crisis, he said.
Marshall, the 1st District congressman running for the U.S. Senate, criticized House Democrats for delaying adoption of the bill while the national economy faltered and COVID-19 spread.
"This is not a perfect bill by any means and there’s a lot I wish I could take out myself, but the reality is this compromise has a lot that the American people and their small businesses need right now," Marshall said.
He said Trump’s decision to halt travel from China to the United Sates saved lives, "unlike the political garbage we’ve seen this week" from some politicians in Washington, D.C.
Gov. Laura Kelly says Kansas may not be featured on CNN every night, but the state still needs more testing materials and medical equipment on the front line of the fight against COVID-19. As it is, Kelly said, states compete with each other for supplies.
"It continues to be a problem, and this is a national problem," Kelly said.
In a conversation with The Topeka Capital-Journal's editorial advisory board, she urged President Donald Trump to implement the Defense Production Act.
The law gives the president authority to compel private businesses to produce supplies in an emergency. In Kansas and across the country, coronavirus infections have heightened the need for hospital respirators and testing capacity.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment implemented strict conditions for testing suspected coronavirus patients at its Topeka lab. Only the most dire cases, as well as health care professionals and first responders, are being tested by KDHE. Commercial labs also have handled some testing.
Kelly said she was talking with CEOs at private companies about making more tests. Ideally, she said, increased production would allow the state to do sample testing of the general population, which could give insight into the number and location of individuals who have the virus even if they aren't showing symptoms.
That kind of information would be helpful for state and county officials to consider whether to lift restrictions on social activities. For now, Kelly said, Kansans can expect the crisis will last more than two weeks.
"How much longer than that? I don't know," she said. "Nobody does."

|The Camarata Children's Choir performs at the Chungdong First Methodist Church in central Seoul|
The Camarata Children’s Choir had over 40 children in the choir from more than 10 different countries for its spring session, and is seeking to grow in number and diversity.
“It is a wonderful way for children to be exposed to music in a fun, stress-free setting, meet new friends from all over the world, learn about music and culture, and just have a great time,” said CMC director Ryan Goessl.
“One of our main goals is to provide an opportunity to learn music in a fun way, without any pressure on children. We not only learn music, but also learn about concepts and topics about music, through singing, music related activities and games, and discussion.”
Goessl said the choir performs one main concert and one or two smaller concerts for the children in each session. Sessions follow the international school calendar and last about 3 1/2 months.
The choir, which is nonreligious, is open to children aged 7-15, with some 6-year-olds taken on a case-by-case basis. There is an introduction session for parents interested in getting their kids involved at the International Lutheran Church in Hannam-dong at 10:30 a.m. Saturday.
Rehearsals will be held on Saturday mornings at the International Lutheran Church, starting Aug. 29.
The practices are in English, so children wishing to take part should be comfortable with using English, Goessl said, though fluency is not a requirement.
The Camarata Chorale will also be holding its POPS concert on Sept. 5 at the Chung-dong First Methodist Church near City Hall Station.
The annual concert by CMC’s general choir features a selection of songs from popular genres, this year with a big band theme.
According to Goessl, this year’s song list includes music by Kool and the Gang, Jackson 5, Duke Ellington and Neil Diamond.
“A lot of jazz, funk, bigband, and music that has a groove. All the audience should leave the concert with a dance in their step and a smile on their face,” he said.
The Camarata POPS concert will be held at 7 p.m. on Sept. 5 at the Chungdong First Methodist Church near City Hall Station.
Tickets are 20,000 won in advance or 30,000 won at the door. Reservations are available through email@example.com or 010-2033-7663.
The choir is open to new members, including beginners, ahead of its Christmas performance of Handel’s “Messiah,” for which rehearsals begin on Sept. 13. See www.camaratamusic.com for more information.

Ed Leighs Money Savings Tips whilst visiting Val d'Isere
Какая погода в курорте Val d'Isere
Val d'Isere, in the Savoie area of France, is a colourful winter sports haven that began as a farm community in the years BC. It is the better-known part of Espace Killy. The huge skiing domain, shares itself with purpose-built Tignes. The area is named for Olympic hero Jean-Claude Killy, who grew up in Val d'Isere. The charming village finds its 1,800 residents outnumbered 15 to one by guests in winter. Espace Killy has 300 kilometres of maintained slopes cut through vast snowfields that stretch to the horizon. Ninety-nine lifts can move more than 135,000 skiers an hour, uphill. Much of the terrain is ideal for cruisers, but there are many opportunities for snowboarders and powder skiers to show their stuff. A lot of skiers accept the challenge of the Bellevarde downhill, designed for the 1992 Olympics. Some parts of the 915 metre drop have a 63 percent angle and running it earns bragging rights in the lively Val d'Isere apres-ski scene.

Ok, been in Val d'Isere for 3 and a bit weeks now, since arriving in town 4th March for a 7 or 8 week sejour. And since I arrived it seems I've brought the snow with me that was so absent for most of January and all of Feb. Think we've been well over 2m fresh now, and there is about another 60-80cm in the next 6 days or thereabout so the forecast goes. So what to say about the place?
1. The town and lifts: Val D is a rather nice place compared to many rival French resorts, like Tignes, La Plagne, Les Menuires and Val Thorens. It has some really nice old stone built chalets around the centre around the church, which is where we were located for the first 3 weeks. Very nice. The town also has lots of nice places to eat and drink. And the terrace areas on the main slope side area are south-ish facing so get the sun on those nice days. Costs for food are 25-30 Euros for a main of pasta type stuff in a nice restaurant or on mountain. But you can also find really nice bakeries for a sandwich in town for 5 or 6 Euros and there are takeaway places for burger and frites for 10 Euros 'round town. The choice is yours. I would say Val D resorts are rather spread out and there are a few different areas, being Val D centre, La Daille and Le Fornet. I would say the linking between these sectors is ok, but not the best I've seen. And for me there are too many gondolas, I defo prefer the convenience of detachable fast chairs for not having to get skis off and on. And in the post Covid era, I'm sure many older people would benefit from not being in a small poorly ventilated capsule with 6 to 100 people some with seasonal viruses. I know I don't want to waste a week in resort with flu or similar.
2. Skiing: I would say Espace Killy is a good resort with loads to offer. For me I think Tignes is the better part of it though, even though the town of Val is far nicer aesthetically. For me Val D is a little too spread out and much of the higher altitude skiing has a fair bit of flatter terrain, and lacks a little as a result. This applies both to off-piste and on. You will find there are long stretches of green run flats in many runs. The best terrain around for me are the Tignes areas around Tovier and The Grande Motte. The area off TSD Manchet in Val D looks great, but for me is too much pain to get too with gondola Solais, which means I tend toward Tignes. Park skiing here is well catered for with two decent parks, one in Val D and the other in Tignes Val Claret. My preference is DC park in Tignes. Another reviewer here mentioned it was closed for an extended period this season, which is true. It would be a bit of a let down if you were in Tignes for a week or two for that reason and find it shut for 2 weeks, disappointing and probably not good enough from a resort of that pedigree. Tignes after all has been synonymous with freestyle since the 80s and the Albertville Olympics. However, the Val D park is fun enough on its own, so can keep you going I would say.
3. Pass price - reasonable for the area you get, particularly a season pass for Tignes at 800 Euros. I think this is defo a good deal. Val D also is 800 notes, I would tend to opt for the whole area if I were in Val as I said I prefer the skiing of Tignes and feel the DC park is the better one, when its open. Compared to other large French resorts the cost is comparable to most, except a full 3V pass, which for me is mental at 1550 euros now. Weekly passes are similar most places.
Overall and comparisons: I would say if you are coming to Espace Killy, and you are good standard, Val is great if you also want a nice looking place. For me Tignes has the better skiing, is more ski in-ski out accomm (which is a defo plus), has the better park and also the better terrain, both on and off the piste (unless you need trees on low vis days - then its Le Fornet trees but its miles out of the way, even in Val). For me if you're an off-piste chaser there are better places to go in France for sure, mainly owing to the general lack of long steep sections at higher altitudes such as you will find in Les 3V, La Plagne, Les Deux Alpes and Alpe D'Huez. Similarly I would say there are better piste skiing options around, notably 3V again but this is possibly the best place in the world for such. Park skiing is a strong point here despite the closure of the DC park for a couple of weeks, so you'll enjoy this here for sure.

The sad truth is that it really doesn't matter what you do for a living or where you live, because domestic violence crosses every socio-economic boundary. We have all been exposed to this blight that was once deemed by society to be a private matter best hidden behind closed doors.
Physical, verbal, psychological, emotional and sexual attacks are all forms of domestic violence. Any of these can be perpetrated on both male and female victims in a relationship.
According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 52% of domestic violence homicides are committed by a girlfriend/boyfriend or a spouse. Most victims of domestic violence in Kansas are white females between the ages of 20 and 24, while most offenders are white males between the ages of 20 and 24. Most often, the offender is the spouse/ex-spouse or boyfriend/ex-boyfriend of the victim.
In our state, the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence (KCSDV) has been one of the leading organizations to raise awareness of sexual and domestic violence. Visit the above link to find out more information on ways you can help prevent domestic violence.

The Kansas Crisis Hotline is a toll-free, 24-hour state-wide hotline linking victims of domestic violence and sexual assault to local services.

Turbulence Measurements Made from FLIP in BOMEX.
Annual rept. no. 3, 15 Aug 69-15 Aug 70,
MICHIGAN UNIV ANN ARBOR DEPT OF MATHEMATICS
Pagination or Media Count:
Simultaneous measurements of wind velocity components with hot-film anemometers, air temperature fluctuations, and wave heights were made about 200 miles east northeast of Barbados during BOMEX. A total of 54 hours of measurements were made during the last two weeks in May, 1969. Of these, 23 had simultaneous recordings of wind velocity components and temperature fluctuations at two heights. Measurement heights were 2, 3, 6 and 8 meters above mean water level. Three different computer facilities have been employed in processing the data to obtain probability distribution functions, joint probability distribution functions, spectrum functions and cross-spectrum functions for velocity components, temperature fluctuations and wave heights. Examples of the calculation results are given and briefly described. They show specific effects of waves on the velocity components. Author

We’re obsessed with midnight snacks. Well, midnight meals.
Yes, raw cold cuts and ice cream hold a special place in our hearts, but sometimes they just can’t satisfy our stomachs.
This isn’t a quick trip to the fridge, we’re talking multiple course midnight madness. We’ve snacked on more than a few slices of cold pizza in our day, but that was back in freshman year. We’re sophisticated sophomores of life now and require something with a little more heft than dough and cheese.
Just like anytime of the day, nobody wants to cook at midnight which is why we love, love, love restaurants who are open late. Unfortunately, many of our favorite restaurants are not conveniently located in our kitchens or have strict dress codes prohibiting pajamas.
So, what’s a hungry boy or girl to do? Order of course. And this is where things get interesting. Munch Ado has instantly upped the midnight meal game by finding every restaurants in delivery distance from your bed. You want Thai at ten past? We’ll hook you up. Cheese fries? We’ll take a look. Breakfast food? We feel you.
Our late night game is strong. So next time you can’t sleep or don’t want the party to end, hit up MunchAdo.com and we’ll turn your midnight snacks into midnight meals.Read More »

BUCKLEY retailers are backing the town council's stand against the introduction of car parking charges.
The county council is considering charging 20p an hour for up to three hours, and £1.50 for the day.
Butcher Phil Jones, who owns Bistre Farmshop in the precinct, said: 'There is no justification for bringing in charges.
'There is no shortage of parking spaces, so there is no argument for charging drivers as a traffic management tool.
'If the county brings in charges, it would merely be a money-making ploy.'
Mr Jones said there was 100% support among traders for the town council's stand.
He fears parking charges would drive shoppers out of town.
Town clerk Martin Wright said: 'The clear impression is left that if charges are introduced they will have little to do with the maintenance of the viability and vitality of Buckley, but more to do with an income generation scheme to assist the county council's finances.'


With his performance in Hometown Cha Cha Cha on Netflix, actor Kim Seon Ho won everyone’s hearts. His popularity rose sky-high, and no matter what, his fans have stood by his side. Recently, the actor won two awards at the Asia Artist Awards 2021. Both the categories are fan-voted, and Kim was unbeatable.
The two categories in which Kim won awards are the ‘ U+IDOL Live Popularity Award’ and the ‘AAA RET Popularity Award’. The voting line was open from October 22 to November 15, 2021. The response has been amazing, especially for Kim, and we wonder how he must be feeling with this big win.
Talking about the number of votes, for the AAA RET Popularity Award, the Hometown Cha Cha Cha star got 1,787,000 votes. GOT7’s Jinyoung got the second highest votes in the same category (1,430,856). As soon as fans learned about his win in two categories, #KimSeonHoMostPopularActor started trending on Twitter. Fans expressed their joy and congratulated their favourite star.
One fan wrote, “WE DID IT! I’M SO PROUD OF YOU ALL! CONGRATULATIONS, #KIMSEONHO! CONGRATULATIONS, SEONHOHADAS!” Another tweeted, “You deserve all the love my love #KimSeonHo 축하해”. One more fan shared on Twitter, “Not just one, but TWO Trophy. Congratulations, our preferred actor Seonho! And to everyone in this fandom, thank you for your hardwork and effort! Seonhohadas, fighting!!!”
Check out the reaction of Kim Seon Ho fans on Twitter:
The award function will be held on December 2. After the abortion controversy, Kim hasn’t been out in public. So it is not known yet if he will attend the award ceremony or not. However, many stars have confirmed their presence for starry nights. Celebs like Lee Jung Jae (Squid Game), Yoo Ah In, Han So Hee, Moon Ga Young and many others have confirmed their presence.

Medulloblastomas are the most common solid malignant childhood brain tumour. Integrated genomic data has identified four distinct medulloblastoma sub-groups (Wnt, Shh, Group 3 and Group 4), which have different characteristic genetic abnormalities, and result in different clinical outcomes. Group 3 has the poorest prognosis, is the most frequently metastatic and characteristically over-expresses c-Myc. Lactate dehydrogenase A, known for its key role in metabolic functions, is a downstream target of c-Myc and HIF1α. I hypothesised LDHA inhibition would result in a decrease in lactate concentrations and a change from a glycolytic to an oxidative phosphorylation metabolic phenotype, leading to decreased medulloblastoma viability, proliferation and motility.
I found that LDHA expression was significantly elevated in Group 3 medulloblastomas. Furthermore I showed that oxamate (a structural analogue of pyruvate) significantly inhibited medulloblastoma cell line LDHA activity, lactate production, aerobic glycolysis, proliferation and motility under normoxic and hypoxic conditions (1% O2) and also upregulated oxidative phosphorylation under normoxic conditions. Additionally, at low concentrations, oxamate inhibited LDHA activity and lactate production in the non-neoplastic paediatric astrocyte cell line CC2565 but it had no significant effects on the amount of viable, metabolically active cells or their motility under normoxic or hypoxic conditions. Despite showing 80% LDHA knockdown, our LDHA siRNA transfections did not have any significant downstream effects on MB cell line metabolism, growth or motility.
Unfortunately our studies are inconclusive as to whether LDHA alone is a suitable therapeutic target for medulloblastoma. Oxamate may inhibit multiple LDH family members or >80% LDHA knockdown may be required. The results of further investigations will be critical as LDHA may prove to be an inadequate target for MB and a broader LDH family inhibitor or lactate inhibitor may be more appropriate. However these studies, combined with extensive research into the literature, support the concept and provide proof of principle that targeting aerobic glycolysis and lactate production in medulloblastoma is worthwhile therapeutic avenue worth pursuing further.

GymDogs set for NCAA semifinals
The Georgia gymnastics team is set to travel to St. Louis for the 2018 NCAA Gymnastics Championships.
Georgia will compete in the first semifinal session today, set to begin at 1 p.m. If the GymDogs finish in the top three of the six-team meet, they will advance to the Super Six on Saturday at 7 p.m. The semifinal meet will air on ESPN2 and the Super Six will air on ESPNU.
The GymDogs are joined by No. 2 LSU, No. 3 UCLA, No. 6 Alabama, No. 7 Nebraska, and No. 10 Arkansas on Friday. The second session includes top-ranked Oklahoma, fourth-ranked Florida, fifth-ranked Utah, eighth-ranked Kentucky, ninth-ranked California, and eleventh-ranked Washington.
"We are very proud of this team for their perseverance and determination all season long,” head coach Courtney Kupets Carter said. "When everything was on the line at regionals, this team was relentless. They refused to be denied their advancement to the NCAA championship. While our coaching staff is proud of our athletes and all that this team has overcome all season long, we are continuing to build momentum as we head into St. Louis. Do not underestimate us.”
For the eighth-consecutive year, the Georgia GymDogs will be competing for a national championship. Georgia clinched its spot in St. Louis by advancing through the Tuscaloosa regional, hosted by SEC rival Alabama, with a 196.500. Georgia trailed only No. 6 Alabama while besting seventh-ranked Michigan, No. 22 Missouri, No. 23 Illinois, and No. 36 Central Michigan.
Since the creation of the two-meet championship format in 1993, Georgia has advanced to 20 of 24 possible Super Six meets. The Gymdogs enter this year's championships with a national-best 10 team NCAA titles.
