This is a very cheesy story about the resurgence of a favorite grilled sandwich.
Most of us have fond memories of the classic Mom used to make — a slice of American cheese melted between two slices of white bread.
Margarine, not butter, was the grease of choice for a crisp exterior.
The results, always so warm and comforting, might as well be imprinted on our DNA.
Wait. You need a recipe? Truth is, I felt a bit silly searching for recipes. I mean, who on Earth — OK, this country at least — doesn’t know how to make grilled cheese?
Then I found a recipe for Bachelor Grilled Cheese: pop two pieces of white bread into a toaster, brown; insert two slices of cheese, wrap sandwich in a paper towel and microwave for 15 or 20 seconds until cheese is melted.
It’s not that hard to butter bread and cook it in a pan on the stove. Really. Still, 90 fans of allrecipes.com rated the Bachelor recipe with 4 and three-quarters stars out of a possible 5.
We can’t all eat grilled cheese in the comfort of our own homes if we’re ever going to get this economy pumping again, so some clever chefs are trying to lure us out the door with, you guessed it, lots of melted cheese.
Enter the grilled cheese restaurant.
The trendiest: The Melt, with locations expected in major cities, an automated grilled cheese restaurant chain started by the guy who invented the Flip video camera. Word is customers order using a smartphone app. The sandwich is cooked in less than a minute by an appliance that melts the cheese while simultaneously searing the bread.
“For me, it’s very nostalgic,” says Kansas City chef Marshall Roth. “When the economy is bad, everyone goes back to the basics. That’s why grilled cheese, hotdogs and macaroni and cheese are popular right now. It brings us back to a happier time.”
Uncomplicated foods can elicit some of the greatest debate, according to Laura Werlin, a cheese expert and author of “Grilled Cheese, Please!” Should you use cheese slices or grated cheese? Thick or thin bread? Butter or margarine, mustard or mayo, olive oil or vegetable oil? Salt or no salt? An additional filling or just a combination of cheeses?
Thanks to a steady supply of artisanal breads and farmstead cheeses, Americans are clearly ripe for more websites, cookbooks and restaurants on the subject.
As Werlin puts it: “Grilled cheese, the movement, has arrived.”


The focus is on scientific work in connection with a specific product development in this context. The task of this research project is the conception, design and new development of a bogie for track construction machines and maintenance vehicles. This newly developed bogie series is intended to meet the current and future requirements of track-laying machines accordingly.

Sports Helps Cable’s July Ad Spend
Cable saw a nearly 30 percent increase in spending around sports programming last month, according to advertising intelligence company Standard Media Index. National TV’s 2.5 percent increase in spend for July came mostly from cable, which saw a 3.7 percent bump.
Sports was helped by scheduling, with the X Games taking place in July vs June the year before. Similarly, SMI noted that Wimbledon was entirely in July compared to four days of play in June 2016. The firm reports ESPN saw an increase in spend around sports talk shows, as unit costs were up across many of its shows this month putting the network up 12 percent YoY.
With no Olympics this year, broadcast saw a 13 percent decline in spending for sports. The decreases in spend outweighed the addition of $25mln in spend that came from the Copa Oro 2017 CONCACAF, which aired mainly on Univision. “While it didn’t push all of broadcast forward, the addition of Copa Oro 2017 CONCACAF, and episodes of “José de Egipto” and “La doble vida de Estela Carrillo,” did propel the Spanish language network ahead of Fox, in terms of overall ad spend collected for the month of July 2017. Fox did stand out in sports with an increase in unit cost around the MLB All-Star Game, with a slight increase from $398K in 2016 to $401K in 2017,” SMI said.
Of course, it’s wasn’t all sports in July. Cable news continues to be hot, with SMI reporting that spending increased 11 percent across MSNBC, Fox News and CNN. And that’s up against a YOY comparison that included the DNC and RNC. “The fact that cable news is still increasing as we’re now comparing YoY to prominent election months, is quite telling that this trend might be here to stay,” SMI said.
Other cablers singled out in the report include HGTV, which saw 7 percent additional spend in July 2017 compared to July 2016. E! posted a 9 percent jump, while WE tv was up 8 percent and Travel climbed 20 percent.


Power of Sport: Delivering When it Counts
Ottawa – February 1, 2022 – A major research report issued today suggests that community sport has the power to deliver unprecedented benefits across Canadian society.
Commissioned by the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) and prepared by E-Alliance, Power of Sport: The True Sport Report 2022 cites evidence to confirm that the benefits of sport reach far beyond the positive health effects. The report’s authors describe how community sport generates social capital, creating benefits across a broad spectrum of societal priorities including child and youth development, crime prevention, environmental sustainability, economic development, and social inclusion for all Canadians.

Advancements in 3D Modeling Technology: Exploring the Power of AI, VR, and AR
3D modeling technology has come a long way in recent years, and there have been many advancements that have made it more powerful and user-friendly. In this blog post, we will take a look at some of the latest advancements in 3D modeling technology and how they can benefit users.
One of the latest advancements in 3D modeling technology is the use of artificial intelligence(AI) and machine learning. These technologies are being used to create more realistic and detailed 3D models, as well as to automate certain aspects of the modeling process. For example, AI and machine learning can be used to automatically generate textures and materials for 3D models, or to create 3D models based on 2D images or sketches.
Another advancement in 3D modeling technology is the use of virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR). These technologies are being used to create immersive, interactive 3D environments that allow users to explore and manipulate 3D models in real time. This can be especially useful for industries such as architecture and engineering, where it is important to be able to visualize and test out design options in a realistic way.
Another advancement in 3D modeling technology is the use of 3D printing. This technology allows users to quickly and easily create physical objects based on their 3D models. This can be useful for a variety of purposes, including prototyping, manufacturing, and customizing products.
Overall, the latest advancements in 3D modeling technology are making it easier and more powerful than ever before. By using AI, VR and AR, and 3D printing, users can create more realistic and detailed 3D models, and can explore and manipulate them in new and exciting ways. These advancements can benefit users in a variety of industries, and can help them innovate and stay ahead of the competition.

Support for Meals on Wheels will save money
An exhaustive national study by Brown University concluded states could avoid costly and unnecessary nursing home care simply by doing one thing: investing in Meals on Wheels.
The study analyzed data on more than 16,000 nursing homes between 2000 and 2009. After taking into account state spending on Medicaid-sponsored home and community-based services and other long-term care market factors, the researchers found Meals On Wheels was the only statistically significant factor in keeping seniors out of nursing homes.
In Delaware, the average cost of a nursing home is approximately $80,000 annually. A significant portion of that cost is picked up by the state as most nursing home residents receive funding through Medicaid.
Today, Delaware spends 87.5 percent of all long-term care dollars on institutional care. The national average is 66 percent.
For the past 10 years as Meals on Wheels demand has increased, state funding for the program has not kept pace. Instead, the state has relied on nonprofits to raise the roughly $1 million annually to keep Meals On Wheels going statewide. With a difficult economy, rising food and gas prices, and a rapidly growing senior population, nonprofits simply cannot keep pace with the financial demands.
Time to quit talking and get to work
I read with interest Sen. Tom Carper's comments on how Congress and the president missed a real opportunity to do what they are elected to do - develop policy for this country. He was right, but I doubt many people were truly surprised.
I am now retired and was a young boy in the 1950s who idolized John Unitas and the Baltimore Colts. In reading books, I learned the players would talk before taking the field for a game, with Unitas being the last to speak. His comment was nearly the same each time: "Talk is cheap, let's go." He didn't always win, but you knew he worked. My parents were trying to teach me the same thing, but somehow Unitas was more effective .
With that said, and the respect I have for Sen. Carper (especially since he voted alone against his own delegation), I say the time for talk shows, interviews and posturing is long overdue. Just roll up your sleeves, use your brains and judiciously use your mouths and work. This country needs real leadership and direction and so far both parties appear to be seriously lacking. You will likely be surprised by the general response to our Congress (and the president) actually working together and doing something of value for this nation and not just "kick that shredded and battered can again."
Credit Carper for tough call on fiscal cliff
I was surprised to hear the "nay" vote of Sen. Tom Carper during the roll call on the "fiscal cliff" bill on New Year's Eve. Having seen his explanation for that vote, I strongly applaud his guts in voting the way he did. Carper is correct that the issues of burgeoning entitlements cannot be ignored with stopgap measures.
I receive Social Security and Medicare but strongly believe that these programs cannot continue at their current level of benefits. There must be a cut in those entitlements to prevent us following Greece and other countries into ruinous debt and burdening our children with a ruinous economy.

A suspected burglar who fell 13-feet and smashed his head on the ground while running from police at West High School in Torrance remained in critical condition Monday as prosecutors charged two alleged accomplices with the crime.
Vincent Marcinek, 53, has been hospitalized since suffering his injury Oct. 22. He has not yet been arrested or charged, Torrance police Sgt. Paul Kranke said.
The District Attorney’s Office on Monday charged the other suspects, Gerek L. Erisman, 39, of Wilmington and Laura L. Jerove, 50, of Bellflower. Each pleaded not guilty Monday in Torrance court to two counts of felony petty theft and one misdemeanor count of possession of burglar’s tools. They’re scheduled to return to court on Nov. 12.
Police responded to the West High School campus on Thursday when a maintenance worker spotted people breaking into vending machines outside a cafeteria.
Jerove was arrested on campus. Erisman ran, but was captured during a brief search.
Marcinek ran from officers and jumped over a railing, apparently not knowing about the 13-foot drop on the other side. He landed on pavement leading to the athletic practice fields.
He initially was unconscious.
Officers recovered about $100 in coins.
Los Angeles County Superior Court records show Erisman’s priors include possession of a controlled substance, driving under the influence, being under the influence, methamphetamine possession, grand theft and auto theft.
Marcinek likely will face charges when he recovers and is set for release. Los Angeles County Superior Court records show Marcinek has a lengthy record that includes arrests and convictions for offenses such as possession of drug paraphernalia, grand theft, identity theft, methamphetamine possession, burglary, auto theft and receiving stolen property.

Bitcoin Growth Triggers a False Increase in Tether's Capitalization of $500 Million
This week began with the most popular stablecoin Tether (USDT) unexpected increase in capitalization by half a billion dollars: from $4.14 billion to $4.65 billion. CoinMarketCap noticed this unusual activity. Initially, users thought that the company had an additional issue of coins, but this information was not confirmed. Other services, such as CoinGecko, did not show this rapid growth in Tether's capitalization. The fact is that just on January 6, CoinMarketCap specialists updated their algorithms, and the service has counted Tether tokens, which were released on the TRON blockchain. Experts connect the recent increase in Bitcoin rate with this event, most likely trading bots took this jump as a signal to buy BTC.

Water outlook better east of the Continental DivideA limited water supply is predicted west of the Continental Divide, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service National Water and Climate Center data in its first forecast of 2014.
A limited water supply is predicted west of the Continental Divide, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service National Water and Climate Center data in its first forecast of 2014.
The National Water and Climate Center also predicts normal water supply east of the Continental Divide. It will continue to monitor, forecast and update water supplies for the next six months.
Monitoring snowpack of 13 western states, the center’s mission is to help the western United States prepare for spring and summer snowmelt and streamflow by providing periodic forecasts. It’s a tool for farmers, ranchers, water managers, communities and recreational users to make informed, science-based decisions about future water availability.
“Right now the West Coast is all red,” said NRCS Hydrologist Tom Perkins. “Early indications are it will be very dry in the western part of the West, but wetter as you travel east. There are some exceptions to this, as New Mexico, Arizona, parts of Utah and southern Colorado are also expected to be dry.”
“But that could all change by the end of the season. This early in the season — who knows? It always changes,” Perkins said.
Since 1935, NRCS has conducted snow surveys and issued regular water supply forecasts. Since the late 1970s, NRCS has been installing, operating and maintaining an extensive, high-elevation automated system called SNOTEL, designed to collect snowpack and related climatic data in the western U.S. and Alaska.

REYKJAVIK–Iceland took control of its third largest bank, Glitnir, on Monday, as the global credit market turmoil claimed its latest victim following a string of financial collapses in the United States and Europe.
The government will buy a 75 per cent stake in Glitnir for $878 million, the bank said. The deal follows a sudden deterioration in Glitnir's funding over the last few days.
"Without this intervention Glitnir would have ceased to exist within the next few weeks. It's as simple as that," Central Bank Governor David Oddsson said at a news conference.
Authorities believe Glitnir's asset portfolio and capital position were solid and that it had a good quality loan book, the central bank said. It said it did not intend to keep its stake in Glitnir for long.
The government planned to hold a news conference on Glitnir on Monday afternoon. The Ministry of Finance will administer the government's stake in Glitnir.
News of the takeover sent the Icelandic crown skidding to a fresh record low against the euro.
Iceland's banks and its economy have been under close scrutiny in the light of the recent financial market turmoil and a sharp slide in the Icelandic crown this year.
Worries have focused on the ability of Icelandic banks to refinance foreign debts taken on as they expanded overseas in recent years. The crown's weakness increases the amount the banks must pay to service their debt.
"Overall, I think it is good that the government was able to step in at the right time and keep the bank from defaulting," said Benedikt Stefansson, analyst at Landsbanki.
Rival Kaupthing said it was well financed and very liquid. Asked if there was a risk the bank would require similar intervention, spokesman Jonas Sigurgeirsson said, "No, not at all."
Landsbanki declined to comment.
Shares in Kaupthing were down 4.1 per cent and Landsbanki was down 5.6 per cent.
Glitnir was not the only Icelandic company to buckle on Monday. Investment firm Stodir, formerly FL Group, applied for a court-appointed administrator. According to its website, Stodir holds a 32 per cent stake in Glitnir.
Glitnir, founded in 1904, said its core operations were solid and its funding efforts so far this year had been successful despite a challenging market.
"Nonetheless, the events unfolding in international financial markets in the past two weeks have had unforeseen consequences drastically changing the conditions of Glitnir's short-term funding," the bank said in a statement.
The bank said its board and leading shareholders had accepted the government's offer.
Chief executive Larus Welding, who agreed at the government's request to remain the bank's top executive, said Glitnir's customers would not be affected by the move.
The news comes after a wave of banking collapses in the United States and Europe.
On Monday, the governments of the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg announced the part privatisation of banking group Fortis and Britain said it would take into public ownership mortgage lender Bradford & Bingley, which is also selling its retail branches and retail deposits.

Today's cactus is actually a succulent. There are a lot of succulents planted amongst the cactus here at Canyon Sands.
What's the difference? All cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are cacti. What makes a cactus a cactus is not the spines, as you might think, but something called areoles. An areole is the little fluffly part that the spine grows from.
So perhaps I need to rename my series "29 Succulents". "29 Cactus" sounds much better although I now realize that this isn't grammatically correct and should have been "29 Cacti".
Oh well. What's in a name, anyway?

With the washer bottle fitted and the boot carpeted I felt it was time to refit the boot cover. Thankfully, Caterham now do the hard work, so all the poppers are pre-fitted in the Factory before the kit is delivered, so all that’s left to do is fit the seat belt uppers and a few popper bases I removed earlier in the build.
The seat belt bolt holes have already been drilled in the boot cover, and they use the outer two bolt holes. When I first offered up the bolt, my heart sank: there was no way I could start the bolt without damaging the powder coat on the trackday roll bar. I wondered if I had made a mistake, because I would have to remove the rear shock absorbers to be able to loosen off the roll bar. I also noticed that the threads had paint in them.
I thought I would give cleaning the threads a go to see if that helped, rather than rushing into removing the shock absorbers, because the paint in the threads made starting the bolt difficult. I was surprised to find that the threads are not metric but imperial UNF. The strange thing was my best fitting spanner for the head was still the 17mm (which I had also used for the lap belts), so I stuck with that.
For reference: the inner seat belt bolt holes are used on race cars because the Hanns device need the belts closer together.
Initially I thought with the thread being imperial UNF I was going the need a new tap to clean them. Thankfully I remembered a trick my dad used to do to clean threads when he was short of the proper tool for the job. He would cut a slot into a bolt and run that bolt through the thread. I found an old cut-down bolt I had been hoarding and decided to give it a go. I worked the bolt from underneath and it cleaned the thread of the paint. This was sufficient for the seat belt bolt to fit properly and clear the roll bar without damage, because cleaning the threads had given the bolts that tiny bit of extra space needed to clear.
Fitting was simple enough, same as the lower seat belt fixings, but this time I decided to use the cardboard washer between the lower boss and the chassis, mainly to protect the paint and because I had seen them fitted there before on previous cars, however the new manual (v1.2 and v2.0) doesn’t show them.
I torqued the bolts to 47Nm, checked the buckles could still swivel freely and then fitted the nut covers supplied. The rest of the popper bases were refitted and tightened with a Philips screw driver.

As part of a recent Georgia State study, researchers at the School of Public Health surveyed 1,200 smokers who either smoked cigarettes, used electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) , or both, in hopes of finding any discrepancies on how it may affect an individual’s intent to quit.
Georgia State Dean of the School of Public Health Dr. Michael Eriksen, who helped put the study together, said the purpose behind it was to understand how people use e-cigarettes.
Dr. Scott Weaver, assistant professor of epidemiology and biostatistics, Dr. Ban Majeed, postdoctoral research fellow, Dr. Terry Pechacek, professor of health management and policy, Ms. Amy Nyman, research consultant, Dr. Kyle Gregory, postdoctoral research fellow, and Dr. Michael Eriksen, dean of the School of Public Health authored the study.
The authors analyzed the predictors of the intention to quit smoking, the patterns that are being utilized which include dual use of both cigarettes and ENDS.
In their research efforts, the authors used data from a 2014 study of 5,717 American adults. As a result, they discovered that 1,017 people are cigarette smokers, and 248 are dual users.
The authors concluded that compared to cigarette smokers, dual users who are more educated, and have a degree are more likely to “intend” to quit smoking. Researchers found that those who did not have a college degree were less likely to use ENDS in addition to smoking regular cigarettes.
“We want to help the public and people who work in public health to understand users’ perceptions” said Dr. Eriksen.
According to the study, “smokers who did use ENDS, such as e-cigarettes, were more likely to have attempted to quit in the past year.
Georgia State student, Anthony Brown, attested that e-cigarettes are not necessarily helping individuals quit, but are rather just another trend.
“I used to have one [e-cigarette] and you can get as much nicotine as you want, however, I don’t think that it’s a way for me to quit,” Brown said.
He said that although e-cigarettes don’t have tar and every ingredient that a cigarette has, it still has nicotine and users can still put as much of it as they please.
“I just wanted to smoke a normal cigarette when I smoked e-cigs,” he said.
Georgia State student Gregory Woodcox said he doesn’t see e-cigarettes as a way of quitting.
Another student Thomas Swift said e-cigs have helped him quit smoking.
According to Swift, he finds vaporizers more helpful to help him stop smoking cigarettes as much he normally would because he knows smoking cigarettes can kill; Whereas, the effects of using vaporizers are sort of an unknown.
Dr. Eriksen said it is important to understand “if e-cigarettes are truly useful tools for helping people to quit smoking. They are less harmful than combustible cigarettes, but the science is not yet clear on whether e-cigarettes are any better for quitting other than smoking cessation tools.”

In high demand, islander’s art form changes through time, opportunity
Some people are compulsively creative. Everything they see can be art. Cara Moore fits that description. She’s a Galveston artist who morphs her art form as often as the opportunity presents itself.
Moore, who originally is from Hobbs, New Mexico, but grew up in the Spring, Texas area, has been in Galveston since the early 1990s when she moved to the island to design silk screen clothing for then Galveston-based clothing company Yaga’s.
She attended college, but took only the art, sculpture and painting classes at Sam Houston State University and then Stephen F. Austin State University. Finally, she settled into a more focused education at The Art Institute of Houston, where she was exposed to many new art forms and techniques, including still life, live models and learning about anatomy to make her portraits and paintings more realistic.
But she wanted to be in Galveston, near the water and a big city and somewhere that the air and light was good, Moore said.
She created logos and murals for Galveston restaurants, such as Mario’s Seawall Italian & Pizzeria, The Spot, Float and the tarpon at Fisherman’s Wharf. She began experimenting with mosaics — first with large sections of tile to later mastering designs with tiny shards. She designed a huge installation of a tree at Mod Coffeehouse. Survivors of Hurricane Ike, a storm that caused catastrophic flooding in Galveston in 2008, put together “Tree of Life” at the downtown coffee shop. And, most recently, Moore created a 18-foot-long octopus mosaic in a friend’s pool.
She planned all the interior art work at Yaga’s Café on The Strand in downtown Galveston, and painted the whimsical chickens on the front of The Kitchen Chick on Market Street. She also fabricated at the kitchen accessories store a 3D canvas of a chef, using coffee cups for eyes and copper tubing for facial features.
At Saltwater Grill and Little Daddy’s Gumbo Bar on Postoffice Street — two Galveston Restaurant Group venues downtown — Moore formed a quirky school of fish and underwater lifeforms meant to decorate as well as mitigate some of the acoustics in the restaurants. The wall hangings all are crafted from a foam material that acts as a sound insulator, she said.
Her artwork again morphed as she was asked to paint a tropical mural in the restaurant at Doubletree by Hilton Hotel at 17th Street and Seawall Boulevard, where she mixed fish and palms on a primitive background with bold orange and black colors. And her imagination went wild with a large circular ceiling nautical compass of fish at Jimmy’s on the Pier on the seawall, she said. Last year, she was asked to produce a series of seven vibrant paintings of colorful parrots and cockatoos for the new Hospitality Health ER, also on the seawall.
Presently, her talents have been commissioned to redesign the interior and exterior of the Condos di Cocco on the seawall. Her latest passion? Creating collages with found objects of art, she said. She used a combination of latex gloves, old CDs, shells, Mardi Gras beads and tiny toys to fashion a collection of imaginative fish, seahorses and a huge octopus at the University of Texas Medical Branch clinic on Broadway.
“I’ve done a lot of work in Galveston and if you go into most local restaurants, you will see my art,” said Moore, whose home and studio in the city’s historic San Jacinto neighborhood is a work of art itself. In 2003, she purchased the city’s 1891 firehouse and transformed the building into an eclectic mix for living and working. The building is still a work in progress, but is perfect for large art projects because of the giant spaces and 20-foot doors, she said.
She also enjoys the culinary arts and has “enough skill to get me into trouble,” she said.
“But I can fake a gourmet meal,” she said. “It is just another form of art, just another medium to learn.”
Next, she wants to venture into fine art — painting and embellishing large photos, she said.
“You are only as good as your imagination and creativity,” she said. “I’ve always been interested in art — it’s the most fun thing to do, but it is hard to make a living.”

Patience and persistence finally paid off for Brian Serven, a 2013 graduate of Palm Desert High School.
The talented baseball player was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in 2016. Six years and 339 games later, he finally got the call he’s been waiting and working for.
Serven, the 27-year-old catcher, was called up to the big leagues Tuesday and will be wearing a major league uniform for the first time when the Rockies host the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night. He will likely be in a backup role Tuesday and in the starting lineup for Wednesday’s day game.
When he officially sees action for the Rockies, he will become the seventh player to come from a desert high school to play in the major leagues. He will join Angels outfielder Taylor Ward of Shadow Hills as the only currently active major leaguers.
The 6-foot, 207-pound backstop played the entire 2021 season at the team’s Triple A affiliate, the Albuquerque Isotopes, without being called up to the big leagues. He began the season in Albuquerque again this year and has been hitting well. In 77 at-bats so far this season, Serven has a .273 average with five home runs and 12 RBIs. He has an OPS of .912.
The official transaction saw struggling backup catcher Dom Nunez sent down and Serven brought up. Elias Diaz is the team’s No. 1 catcher and the only other catcher on the Rockies roster along with Serven.
Brian isn’t the only Serven on the way to Colorado on Tuesday. His father Jim Serven, currently the softball coach at Palm Desert High School, along with mom Laura and sister Kristina were taking a 3:30 pm flight to Denver. Brian’s brother and former baseball player Johnathan also plans to attend.
Desert debuts are a trend
There has been quite a surge of desert MLB debuts in recent years.
Serven makes it four desert stars to make their MLB debuts in the last four years. It’s a remarkable blitz considering there had only been three desert players ever to make the major leagues before 2018.
There was the aforementioned Ward, who played his first game with the Angels in 2018.
Serven’s high school teammate, Brooks Kriske, made his MLB debut with the New York Yankees in 2020 and pitched in 16 major league games in 2020 and 2021 with the Yankees and the Orioles after a trade. He was released by the Orioles to pursue an international opportunity. Kriske is currently a member of the Yokohama DeNA BayStars of Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan.
Tyson Miller, a pitcher who graduated from Shadow Hills, also made his MLB debut in 2020 with the Chicago Cubs. He is currently on the Texas Rangers’ Triple A team the Round Rock Express.
Until Tuesday, the most memorable part of Serven’s pro career came last season when he hit a long home run off a rehabbing Clayton Kershaw in a minor league game.
Serven was drafted in the fifth round by the Rockies in 2016 after an excellent career at Arizona State.
The Rockies could use the pop that Serven can provide. The two catchers who have played so far for the Rockies, Diaz and the demoted Nunez, have combined for 24 hits in 122 at-bats (.197 average) with 13 runs, 13 RBIs and two homers.

I posted the other day about Ray Dalio and the post was not well received here. So I’ll try gain from another angle. My concern is that it really IS different this time. I’m 62 years old and remember how bad things where in 1979 when I was 19. Gas lines, inflation, crappy investment returns (although I wasn’t part of investing at the time and didn’t understand what happened until years later). I really thought my financial future would be bad. Despite everything, things turned out OK.
It sort of feels like 1979(ish) again as I approach retirement. For the past 40 years, it seems that the USA has a new crisis every few years and the crisis gets solved with an ever higher debt-to-GDP ratio. Basically 40 years of kicking the financial can. There was a short time around 1999-2000 where debt seemed to be headed in the right direction, but 9/11 revived the urge to borrow as the quick financial solution to whatever the problem du jour was. Along with a growing debt-to-GDP, all through these 40 years, we discussed and knew that Social Security and Medicare were not properly funded. But that, too, got kicked down the road with no solution. It seems that we might be at the end of our ability to print and/or borrow our way out. Even inflating doesn’t seem to be a solution because it causes higher rates to service the national debt and much higher Social Security costs (estimated to be up 8.5%ish Jan 1st).
So is the 2022 financial swoon (stocks and bonds down) the beginning of a huge decline in the standard of living that 62 year old won’t live to see fixed? Or is this just another crisis du jour that will work out somehow and we’ll muddle through? I’m generally not a doom and gloomer or an extremist. But I’m trying to see how this can turn out OK for myself and other affluent (but not filthy rich) Boomers heading into retirement. I’d bet that there are others here who share my concerns.

Tom Cruise in talks for We Are Mortals
Doug Liman's big budget sci-fi action movie, formerly known as All You Need Is Kill, looks to have found a leading man. And it's Tom Cruise...
Reports are suggesting that Warner Bros is in talks with Tom Cruise to star in Doug Liman’s big budget sci-fi war movie We Are Mortals (formerly known as All You Need Is Kill). The film is set to take place in the distant future, amidst an alien invasion on earth, where humans are seemingly ill equipped to deal with the threat that the extraterrestrial antagonists pose.
Cruise would play the role of a newly recruited soldier who dies in brutal battle with the alien. He then re-lives the days leading up to the battle and the battle itself over and over again, becoming a better soldier in the process.
It sounds an awful lot like an alien invasion version of Source Code from that description, which was a film that did a lot with a fairly modest budget. However I’d imagine that Cruise’s fee for this will probably be in a similar ballpark to Source Code’s entire budget (estimated at $32m).
If Cruise does sign up its unclear when this will start filming, given that he’s currently working on One Shot, playing Jack Reacher, has Rock of Ages coming out next year, and is attached to another sci-fi movie for Warner Bros that's set to shoot next year.
The studio hopes that We Are Mortals will hit cinemas some time in 2013 which, if true, will make Mr. Cruise a very busy man for the foreseeable future.

Swallows return to their nesting site at the same time every year, it is essential that you do not allow swallows to nest on your buildings, or they WILL come back every year. Risks of having swallows nest on your property include: Swallow bug infestations, and droppings staining your siding and concrete.
Swallows are known for nesting in large groups on the sides of brick, stucco, and wood buildings. Populations can triple from the original size within a year! The nests are made from mud and therefore can damage and stain the surfaces they were built on. Feces and urine stains will cover the buildings and ground beneath the nest sites.
Because swallows are protected by laws, we follow strict guidelines that govern swallow /swallow nest removal. We remove swallows and swallow nests and use techniques to prevent them from returning to your property in years to come.

Three US Citizens in Group of Four Dead in Tijuana

Baja California authorities are looking into the deaths of four people who's bodies were found in a van in Tijuana last weekend. Mexican authorities say three are US citizens, incuding a 19 year old woman and two men who were 21 and 23. Officials say the fourth woman was 20 and a Mexican citizen.
The Baja California's State Attorney General's statement says the bodies were wrapped in blankets and showed signs of severe injury. The van was found in a residential neighborhood in eastern Tijuana.
US Consular officials in Tijuana were not available to comment on the case due to the late hour.
Tijuana's murder rate has dropped this year, compared to the unprecedented violence in the city last fall and winter.

I've been away for a few days sitting on the beach, drinking coffee and eating cupcakes. What else would I do but come home and sit in my garden, drink coffee and eat cupcakes? I'm consistent, at least.
For the Cupcakes:
1 1/4 cup plain flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
120g unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup caster sugar
2 eggs, at room temperature
Cocoa powder, for dusting
For the Coffee Syrup:
1/3 cup strong brewed coffee
1/4 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons coffee liqueur
For the Mascarpone Cream:
1 cup mascarpone
1 cup thickened cream
1/2 cup icing sugar, sifted
Make the Cupcakes:
Preheat the oven to 180C. Line a 12-hole cupcake pan with paper liners. Set aside.
Put the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl and whisk them together. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk and vanilla together. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together for 5 minutes on medium-high speed. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Reduce the speed to low and, with the mixer running, add one third of the dry ingredients and mix briefly. Add half of the buttermilk mixture. Add another third of the dry ingredients, followed by the second half of buttermilk mixture. Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fill the liners 2/3 full with the batter and bake for about 20 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Coffee Syrup:
Put all the syrup ingredients into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil until the sugar has dissolved, remove from the heat and leave to cool to room temperature.
Make the Mascarpone Cream:
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the thickened cream until firm peaks form.
In a separate bowl, use a wooden spoon or spatula to beat the mascarpone with the icing sugar. Do not over beat as mascarpone can become grainy if over mixed.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
Brush each cupcake generously with the coffee syrup using a large brush. Spoon a floppy dollop of mascarpone cream onto each cupcake. Sprinkle with cocoa powder.

Prior to 2012, the Hazard Communication Standard, as we knew it, remained somewhat of a mystery. It was difficult to teach and even more difficult to learn due to the lack of consistency and uniformity. Non-compliance seemed to be a result of a failure to understand more so than a willful lack of care.
The OSHA rules in place gave users, transporters and manufacturers the right to know about the chemicals they may be exposed to while performing their jobs; but they did not provide a means for the right to understand. Manufacturer’s labels lacked pertinent information, chemicals were incorrectly classified, and material safety data sheets were outdated, in no specific format, and difficult to read. Employers needed a simpler way of communicating so that employees would be aware of chemical hazards and understand how to protect themselves.
The United Nations developed the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) to provide a better way of communicating chemical hazards with internationally recognized regulations and standards. GHS provides a common language and a logical approach to reduce fatalities, injuries and accidents around the globe.
GHS is not a global law or regulation; but rather a collection of best practices aimed at improving the way we communicate hazards. It is a voluntary system used by 65 countries. No country is obligated to adopt all or even any part of the GHS. Each country can pick and choose the elements of the GHS that they wish to incorporate into their own regulations and is solely responsible for the enforcement within its own jurisdiction. The United States officially adopted the GHS in 2012.
The most noticeable changes brought on by the GHS includes the following elements:
- New Safety Labels: pictograms, signal word, hazard statements, company contact information
- Updated Safety Data Sheets (formally Material Safety Data Sheets): 16 section-format
- Hazard re-classification using GHS criteria
- Required training on the GHS changes
OSHA estimates that the GHS system can prevent approximately 50 fatalities and 600 injuries annually, with a net annual savings of over $500 million per year. Manufacturers have done their part by re-classifying their chemicals, creating new labels, and providing updated SDS sheets. Training, and sometimes retraining, about this system is critical. TMC provides Pictogram definitions in our OSHA manual in the Hazard Communication section. Call us today if you have any questions about these standards, or just need a training review!

Hawaii Public Radio launches fall pledge drive: Slideshow (Video)
Hawaii Public Radio launched its fall 2013 on-air pledge drive with a bang Wednesday morning, beating its morning kickoff benchmark of $24,000 by 9 a.m., on the way to a goal of raising $992,000 over the next nine days.
Hawaii Public Radio’s semi-annual pledge drives are imperative for raising money that goes directly toward keeping the lights on and doors open.
As the Honolulu-based nonprofit’s two networks — HPR-1 and HPR-2 — have been expanding statewide in recent years, operating costs have also risen and so too have its semi-annual pledge goals. This year’s goal is just shy of $1 million at $992,000, with $229,518 already raised from 1,070 pledges made prior to the on-air launch on Wednesday.
Among those pledges was HPR’s largest individual donation in its 32-year history, a $100,000 pledge from local philanthropist and real estate developer Dick Gushman. The gift sparked a new partnership between HPR, Kapiolani Health Foundation and Hawaiian Airlines — the frequent flyer miles given to HPR donors as a gift for their donation can be re-gifted to Kapiolani Health Foundation’s Family Fund, which will give free airfare to Neighbor Island families whose children need to undergo medical treatments at Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children.
On Wednesday morning, the fall pledge drive began at 6:19 a.m. on the dot, with board members and community volunteers, many from Lanakila’s Meals on Wheels, seated around tables where they took pledges from donors over the phone.
A new emphasis this year is on recruiting “sustaining donors,” a re-branded version of what used to be called “lifetime donors,” HPR President and General Manager Michael Titterton explained.
“Our fundraising efforts have been very successful, but we’ve found — not through the fault of anyone — that people forget to renew their membership. So now we’re trying this open-ended way, like magazines do, where people pay monthly.”
It is designed to be more convenient for donors in the sense that they are not paying one huge lump sum of money every six months or so, and instead can pledge as little as $10 to $20 per month. While that’s not a new concept, it’s one HPR is emphasizing this year because it would create more stability for the nonprofit, which pays bills each month as any individual or business does.
The hope is that the convenience of monthly payments will attract and retain a larger donor base, which is currently at around 11,000 members. Titterton would like to see that number grow to 17,000.
If successful, Hawaii Public Radio will be able to eventually decrease its asking goal at the pledge drives and also decrease the number of days the on-air drives interrupt regular programming from NPR and other networks.
This year’s pledge drive was originally planned for 10 days, but was shortened to nine days because of Gushman’s large gift.

Kirsten Dunst may have just revealed that she is engaged while walking the red carpet!
The actress attended the Palm Springs Film Festival and she had one very shiny accessory on her ring finger!
This automatically led people to believe that she could be engaged to her boyfriend and Fargo co-star Jesse Plemons.
This isn’t the first time that the ring has been shown; she also appeared on The Late, Late Show with James Corden on January 5th.
Ever since, the rumours haven’t stopped… but on the red carpet she wasn’t shy about showing it off.
Dunst, 32, and Plemons, 26, met each other after they played a married couple on season 2 of the series Fargo. They hit it off on screen and off and eventually started spending more time together.
Engaged or not, they are such a gorgeous couple.
We wish them all of the happiness in the world.

iCRAG PhD Researcher Halleluya Ekandjo today has received an Honourable mention for Geoscience Ambassador of the Year by the UNESCO Earth Sciences and Geoparks Section during the open session of the Council of the International Geoscience (IGCP) in Paris, France.
To acknowledge the profound significance of early-career Earth scientists, the International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) project 769: the Energy Transition Centre for Masters’ Training (CMT) and the GeoNetZero Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) are introducing the inaugural Geoscience Ambassador of the Year Award, as part of their ongoing Geoscience Ambassador Programme - the global campaign for geoscience advocacy in the energy transition.
The Geoscience Ambassador Programme’s mission is to inspire future and current generations of geoscientists to step up to the challenge of communicating the critical and fulfilling role geoscience is playing in supporting the transition of the worlds energy systems to cleaner and more sustainable solutions. In addition, it aims to catalyse the global geoscience community, in collaboration with existing institutions and initiatives and to create a positive ground swell of cooperation. This network is utilised to raise the awareness of new geoscientists, inspire future geoscientists and enrol current ones in supporting the energy transition.
Speaking today Halleluya said: "I am delighted to have received an Honourable Mention for Geoscience Ambassador of the Year from UNESCO Earth Sciences and Geoparks Section. This recognition is not just a personal achievement, but also a tribute to the collaborative efforts of all those who have supported me in advocating for the significance of geoscience education and awareness. Geosciences play a crucial role in our sustainable society, and it is truly wonderful to see my efforts acknowledged. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to those who nominated me."


A majority of people in Medway understand what the Alternative Vote referendum is, but will not be voting.
The Medway Messenger quizzed 100 people across the Towns ahead of the vote on whether to change the current first past the post system.
More than half (57 per cent ) won’t be voting in the AV poll. This is despite 64 per cent saying they understood the Alternative Vote system.
Among those who said they won’t be voting a lack of understanding of AV was cited as their main reason.
Many who will go to the polls complained about a lack of information. They said they would read more on the subject before casting their vote.
Fay Bright, a 56-year-old carer from Chatham said: "I don’t think the government have done enough to tell people what it is.
"I see vote yes and vote no campaigns everywhere but no one is taking the time to explain what AV actually is."
Student Thomas Badman, 18, echoed her complaints: "Clearly the government haven’t done enough to inform the voters due to my lack of understanding," he said.
The majority of people who had already made up their minds said they would be voting against.

Russians already hurt by Western food import ban
MOSCOW — Russians are already paying a price — literally — for the ban on food imports from Europe and the United States that Russia imposed last week to retaliate for American and European economic sanctions.
Suppliers and consumers are facing shortages and price hikes on staples such as fish and fruit, as well as gourmet items such as Italian Parmesan and French Brie cheese.
Suppliers have raised prices for some fish by 20-36%, one of Russia's biggest retailers, X5 Retail Group, complained to Russia's government, the Kommersant business daily reported on Wednesday. Suppliers reported shortages and higher prices for fruit, retailers braced for milk prices to go up, and some meat suppliers were engaging in price speculation, Kommersant reported.
"I was at the market, you can already see there's no Polish apples, and prices for berries have (gone up)," said Vladlen Maksimov, head of the Inter-regional Union of Entrepreneurs, a Russian group that includes small businesses and retailers.
The economic warfare began as an attempt by the United States and European Union to use sanctions to deter Russia from aiding ethnic Russian separatists fighting for autonomy in eastern Ukraine.
Russia is one of the world's leading importers of food, and its ban on fruit, meat, poultry, fish and milk products is hurting European suppliers. (The U.S. exports much less food to Russia.) But the ban is also hurting Russians who have acquired a taste in recent years for imported European products.
Although fears of empty shelves reminiscent of chronic food shortages during the Soviet era have not materialized, some hoarding has been reported in the media, such as people buying up all the cases of imported cheese they could get. Consumers found empty shelves at a number of discount stores on the outskirts of Moscow, where clerks said some customers were buying out of panic.
Moscow authorities announced Wednesday that retailers would be required to provide lists of their current imported stock and when they expected to sell it, the pro-government Izvestia daily newspaper reported. It said police would raid stores found to be carrying banned goods that were not disclosed.
Ian Zilberkweit, president of the Nash Xleb Bakery Group, which has a chain of cafes across Moscow and St. Petersburg, said the ban will force his business to look for other suppliers for his company's dairy and fruit products, though some, like Grana Padano and Brie cheeses, are irreplaceable.
"We're going to have to switch in the next 10 days either to Russian or Belorussian dairy products," he said. "The taste is going to be a bit different."
Russia's Central Bank warned last week that the sanctions are likely to increase an already rising inflation rate. Even so, Russia's government has pledged that prices will not go up as a result of the import ban, promising that the Federal Anti-Monopoly Service will check reports of suppliers raising prices.
In the worst case, the government could resort to price controls, Kommersant reported.
Russia's state-owned media have touted the import ban as a boon for local industry. They have claimed the ban will harm European businesses, forcing Europe to rethink the energy and financial sanctions it imposed on Russia last month over its aid to Ukrainian insurgency.
So far, the public strongly supports the food ban. According to a poll released by the Levada Center last week, 82% of Russians supported some form of retaliatory sanctions, and 76% supported the ban on imported fruit.
"This import ban is a good thing because it will force the government to start improving its own industry," said Yelena Fadeyeva, a store clerk in the Moscow region.
Local industry may not be able to take up the slack, however. "Russian producers have a number of problems," Vladlen Maksimov, the head of the Inter-regional Union of Entrepreneurs said. "One of them is lack of proper storage equipment. It's not that we can't produce the food, it's that we can't store it. Polish apples picked in August, stored adequately, are sold for 11 months. Our apples can't keep."
Prominent nationalist commentators have ridiculed those complaining about the import ban as pampered middle-class consumers who have developed an elitist taste for foreign cheese and prosciutto.
In response, some Russians say the ban interferes with their personal freedom, not their personal tastes.
"It's not just about what we can and can't eat. I'd like to understand who exactly is going to benefit from this import ban," said Sonya Sokolova, who heads an online music site, "because it looks like this will be bad for everybody."

JUMLA, Aug 5: The air passengers in Jumla are in dismay after air service could not be regulated between Jumla and the province capital, Surkhet.
With the lack of such a service, air passengers are forced to travel to Nepalgunj in order to travel back to Surkhet. Locals of Jumla have expressed their aggression towards the province government for not being able to connect Jumla and Surkhet through an air route.
Laxman Shahi, a local from Jumla, said that it is very unfortunate that the air route has not been started even though the circumstances are convenient for the commencement of such flight route.
“With the inception of federalism, Surkhet was named the capital of the province,” Shahi said, “Now, the residents of Jumla are in dismay due to the lack of means of transportation.”
The entire Karnali Highway which connects Jumla to Surkhet is unusable due to heavy rainfall and landslides. Since the locals need to go to the province capital for various works, the only means of reaching Surkhet during monsoon is through air.

I’m not given to quoting Glenn Beck, but I have always rather enjoyed Mike Rowe, the TV star who made a pretty good living publicizing the kind of everyday jobs Americans do.
The debate still raging downstream on NewsCut following the comments of Minnesota’s teacher of the year, however, invites more discussion about what we expect out of the nation’s education system. It featured a person who insisted he was conned into higher education and now is in a field that won’t pay him what he believes it should.
This video is making the rounds on social media today in which Rowe, perhaps grooving a pitch in Beck’s famous blustery wheelhouse, criticizes what he refers to as a public relations campaign that convinced young people that they should go to a four-year university. He says it came at the expense of community colleges and vocational training.
It’s worth pointing out that Rowe attended a community college and then graduated from a university, a not-unheard-of practice since a person can take required courses for a fraction of the cost of a four-year university. That point is a constant selling point at Minnesota’s community colleges.
Rowe insists the PR campaign has been going since the mid-’70s, about the time I graduated from my four-year university, for the record. As I recall, however, the tail wasn’t wagging the dog. Manufacturing jobs weren’t disappearing because there was no one to do them in my area of the country. They were disappearing — to the South back then — because there were other people to do the work cheaper and many of the locally-owned manufacturing companies sold out to bigger national companies. Those companies have since sold out to multinational companies and the jobs moved offshore.
If there was no one willing to do the work, the cities of America wouldn’t be full of unemployed people who had the jobs that were taken away from them.
As for whether community colleges are valued, take a drive up Highway 120 in Oakdale into White Bear Lake sometime when classes are in session at Century College. The place, like many community colleges, is bursting. Want to get into the nursing program there? Good luck. It’s not impossible, but it’s not easy. Competition is fierce.
The narrative that people don’t want vocational jobs doesn’t seem to be supported by the number of trained people still having difficulty find them.
To be sure, there are some manufacturers in Minnesota who can’t find enough workers, but that may be because generations have grown up watching the manufacturing sector disappear. A successful company bucking the trend might have some allure now, but young people are looking for fields in which they think they have a future. Manufacturing has not done a good job at convincing people there’s a future in it past the next paycheck.
And when state officials announced last month that the state has regained the number of jobs it lost in the recession, it also noted there are fewer jobs in manufacturing now, and more in health care.
The other sector that increased? Education.

The economic crisis is certainly a unique course that will reward the ” investors ” who will grab one of these villas at a price below their value market . Surely remember Dinah Shore, Which apparently has sold the villa Palm Springs who built in the sixties and is currently owned by a television writer who has acquired in 2002 for about $ 3 million. You can now buy at $ 6 million , a figure certainly exorbitant due to the deep restoration that the house has suffered at the hands of new owner. With just these few pictures to make you realize how beautiful this house . The other house in question is to Cary Grant It is known as ” Las Palomas “, which was acquired and held for two decades from him since 1952 . The style of this property is very classic , and despite the subsequent restoration of the soul of this house has always remained that of a traditionally bound to conceptions of time. The cost of this beauty is 4.95 million dollars.

Survey: 10% Growth Expected in Robotics in 2021
March 22, 2021
Robotics companies are expecting a 40% increase in employment during 2021, and revenue growth of nearly 50%, according to a new survey published by Interact Analysis and the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), which is holding its Automate Forward virtual trade show this week.
In a survey of 200 automation-related companies from around the world with combined revenues of $50 billion, respondents were very positive about their industry moving out of the Covid-19 pandemic that dominated the headlines in 2020.
Responses from the survey included the following highlights:
- Companies expect their customers’ investment in products to grow by more than 40% once the pandemic is under control.
- The average headcount growth expected by automation companies is about 20%.
- Motion control and motor product vendors reported the lowest expected revenue and investment growth in 2021, but they still expect a 15% growth rate.
- 63% of respondents expect their investment in capacity or infrastructure to increase in 2021, as opposed to 5% who do not.
When asked to rank the largest end-user growth drivers for their companies, automotive came out on top, followed by food and beverage. The automotive industry took up 40% of respondents’ first choice for manufacturers of machine vision products.
Source: Interact Analysis
When asked about challenges for the year ahead, respondents ranked travel restrictions and being able to see customers as their top challenge. Other challenges included being able to meet customer demand, and weak customer demand. However, 93% of respondents said that by August 2020, Covid-19 would have minimal or zero impact on their industry.

Photography by David Jackson
Last May 29, 2016, Aleksander Doba, at age 69, set out from New Jersey’s Liberty Park in his custom super-kayak and paddled past the Statue of Liberty trailed by a fleet of well-wishers including Polish television, a documentary crew and a sizable component of New York's Polish community in hopes of successfully launching his third paddle-powered crossing of the Atlantic Ocean (his first from west to east). C&K contributing photographer David Jackson was on hand for the media send-off. Unfortunately, The wind and currents in New York Harbor exposed the vulnerability of the custom-built kayak he fondly calls Olo. The craft is built to withstand ocean storms and has kept Doba safe and relatively comfortable for more than three-quarters of a year at sea, but with a full load of provisions it weighs 1,500 pounds and is about as aerodynamic as a garden fence. Two days after his festive sendoff and still within sight of Lady Liberty, Doba and Olo went aground at Sandy Hook, cracking the kayak's hull in several places.
