From the Guardian:
Together with the American Library Association, he is therefore setting up a new $3,000 (£1,800) award, The Lemony Snicket Prize for Noble Librarians Faced With Adversity. "The Snicket prize will remind readers everywhere of the joyous importance of librarians and the trouble that is all too frequently unleashed upon them," said Snicket, who is funding the prize from his own "disreputable gains".
"This seems like a better way to channel money to librarians than my previous strategy, which was incurring exorbitant late fees," said the author. The winner will also receive "an odd, symbolic object" from Snicket's "private stash", he said, "as well as a certificate, which may or may not be suitable for framing".
As I do really enjoy Daniel Handler's shenanigans, I really should give the Series of Unfortunate Events another chance.
SIGGGGGGGGGGGGH. And also GAAAG. I'm not going to go into the whole boy books/girl books/let's please stop assigning genders to books because HOLY COW and also YEESH:
But, as I'm sure you know, it's not all that unusual to find books marketed like that NOW, let alone in the early '90s, so no, that's not the weird aspect of this find.
Here's the back cover:
AND NOW, THE FRONT COVER (AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE AUTHOR REVEAL):
I wonder if this is where his horror career began. I mean, this premise kind of already has him halfway there, right? Just turn Ernie into a soul-sucking demon or make those twins into evil replicants or make the couch carnivorous, and BAM: instant Goosebumps title.
Anyway, I'm fascinated. So I'll take it home and let you know how it goes.
But happily, I'm:
OOO! Five minute warning!
This month's theme was SPACE!
Even though I suspect that this patron's creations were unrelated, I love the possibility that she might have been imagining a 'bridge' on a space ship as a 'bridge' between land masses. So awesome. And, MAN, I am going to have to keep an eye out for more Lego flames, because HOLY COW THEY ARE POPULAR:
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. I love that the astronaut is already floating off of his seat:
I can't wait for next month. SO MUCH FUN, GUYS.
Today, I held the library's first Lego Club.
Also, a patron brought me chocolate-covered bacon.
And finally, somehow the bathroom door got locked from the inside with no one in it, and like a boss, I figured out how to open it.
LIKE A BOSS.
Now, Josh is making me a grilled cheese.
And I'm going to eat it while drinking a Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye.

I may have posted this link before, but it's a good one, so I don't mind repeating myself.
From the collection description:
What if the #savelibraries campaign had taken place between 1914-18? Then I expanded that out to World War 2 posters as well.
These are my two favorites, but there are loads more at flickr!

From Diamond Bookshelf:
There are a couple of options for libraries who would like to hand out comics for Free Comic Book Day:
The first option is to partner with a local comic shop. If you don’t have a shop in mind or aren't sure which shops are in your area, see the Comic Shop Partners page on this site, which will direct you to the Diamond Comics' Comic Shop Locator Service and explain our School & Library Partner icon.
For detailed tips on finding or approaching a shop for potential partnership, see our How to Work with Your Local Comic Shop article which was published in the BookShelf print magazine issue #14.
If you're looking to order Free Comic Book Day comics from a shop, it's important to keep in mind that retailers order their FCBD issues and promotional items in January, so the sooner you can contact them and let them know what you’re looking for, the better.
...and, among other things, I found THIS TREASURE:
"Jennifer, 12, was not getting along well with her parents. She felt that they were too strict. In order to be free of their rules, Jennifer turned to drugs."
From the British Library's Digital Scholarship blog:
We have released over a million images onto Flickr Commons for anyone to use, remix and repurpose. These images were taken from the pages of 17th, 18th and 19th century books digitised by Microsoft who then generously gifted the scanned images to us, allowing us to release them back into the Public Domain.
From the Des Moines Register:
Clive [Iowa] is merging its parks and recreation and library operations into a single department called leisure services.
The decision to merge the departments coincides with the retirement of library director Vicki Hibbert in January and the pending retirement next month of Kelly Canfield, the city’s first and only parks and recreation director. Canfield was hired in 1984.
The position does not require exhaustive knowledge or experience in library and parks and recreation activities, although Seaman possesses plenty in the realm of recreation, city staff said.
Am I being a HUGE fuddy-duddy, or does that sound like a TERRIBLE idea? I mean, the idea that a library is purely for leisure makes me cringe, and then the idea of the head honcho not being required to, you know, have library experience... it just seems like a disaster waiting to happen. But we'll see, I guess.
And then, from The Atlantic (via Chrissy):
The National Library of Norway is planning to digitize all the books by the mid 2020s.
Yes. All. The. Books. In Norwegian, at least. Hundreds of thousands of them. Every book in the library's holdings.
By law, "all published content, in all media, [must] be deposited with the National Library of Norway," so when the library is finished scanning, the entire record of a people's language and literature will be machine-readable and sitting in whatever we call the cloud in 15 years.
At Pew's Internet & American Life Project:
Despite the fact that libraries are easily available to most, there are large numbers of Americans who say they are not sure about all the services libraries offer. Echoing the findings of our 2012 survey, 23% of those who have ever used a public library said they feel like they know all or most of the service and programs their library offers, while a plurality (47%) said that they know some of what it offers. About one in five (20%) say they don’t know very much about what is offered, and 10% say they know “nothing at all.”
I haven't read the whole thing yet, but wanted to pass along the link anyway!
Okay, so I found this Disney Babies series.
It's mostly comprised of titles like this:
Colors, ABCs, 123s, etc., etc.
You get the idea, right?
SUCH A STRANGE CHOICE, TITLE-WISE.
For a split-second, I thought that a library school had teamed up with Disney to create some sort of massively nerdy pamphlet. But, no. It's just a four-page book about putting things in order. For babies. CALLED SEQUENCING & CLASSIFYING.
If the other books had had adult-ish titles, I probably wouldn't have even noticed.
The Book to Art Club launched this September, and is an extension of the Library as Incubator Project. Its aim is "to explore literature through discussion and hands-on creative projects".
So far, they've covered The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, The Art Forger, The Language of Flowers, Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald, and this month, they're working with John Green's Paper Towns.
It's a really cool concept, not just connecting art to books, but CREATING art that's inspired by books. Anyway, it's a cool website & a good resource, and a lot of the basic ideas could be easily incorporated into book groups (or classrooms), regardless of age level.
(I mean, I think a lot of storytimes already incorporate themed crafts, as do book groups for younger readers. And way back when, I always did a craft with my high school book group, too, but somewhere along the way, I stopped. I'll have to Bring It Back when I get a high school book group up and running at my new library.)
This video is about a specific situation in Toronto, but much of what it says could be applied to pretty much any other public library, anywhere:
(via Book Patrol)
So, what do you think?
Was this book written by Bar Code Tattoo-Suzanne Weyn?:
Relatedly, do your Christmas books circulate year-round?
Because holy cow, MINE DO.
Yep, pretty much.
In addition to seasonal coloring pages and the Rainbow Loom and a few pom-pom makers and whatnot, I currently have supplies out for...
Paper bag turkey puppets:
And pipe cleaner people:
Heh. My job is fun.
This is another case in which I'm donating an item that I haven't reviewed... because while I certainly paged through it and laughed like a loon, the contents of Grumpy Cat: A Grumpy Book don't really allow for any sort of thoughtful review.
NUTSHELL: If you enjoy the Grumpy Cat meme, you'll enjoy the book, if you don't, it'll just make you grumpy.
Anyway, while it made me (and Josh, who flipped through it as well) laugh, it's not the sort of book that has a whole lot of re-read potential.
I suspect, though, that it'll have a happy (or, well, satisfyingly grumpy) home in the YA section of the library.
*In case you missed it, I took over the running of my town library last week, and every day that I've worked, I've donated a book. For instance.
Tight, tight, tight, with no room for growth! Also located directly next to A) the bathroom, which makes for less-than enticing browsing and B) the children's section, which suggests that it's simply an off-shoot of kidville.
...through the less-than-regular posting!
The new job is going swimmingly, but it's currently taking up the lion's share of my attention and time*.
I find myself dreaming about it, or waking up in the middle of the night and mulling over POSSIBILITIES for programming or organization or fundraising or ordering or wishlists or whatever.
All good things, but overall, exhausting!
I'll post more about the specifics of what I've been up to soon: there's a board meeting coming up next week, so that'll be a good excuse for me to sit down and make a list of all of the changes I've made and things I've been up do. In the meantime, though, the pictures at right are of one of the first things I did: moving the YA books.
Plus, I've dived back into Super Readers' Advisory Mode... which is hugely intellectually stimulating, but again, exhausting: and, as it is, as I've said, a small-town library with only one full-time employee (ME!), I'm doing Readers' Advisory for every age group.
Which I love.
But, as I said, it is rather exhausting, LIKEWHOA.
Still plenty of room for improvement, but far more enticing! Plus, it's now located over by the adult stacks, which will allow readers to organically browse in both areas.
That's GOOD, though, because it means that people are already starting to use my brain as a resource.
So, you know: YAY!
ANYWAY. Thanks again for being so understanding.
To everyone who had Labor Day off, I hope it was a good one!
To everyone who didn't, I hope you had a lovely day nonetheless!
To everyone who is starting a new school year, HAVE FUN!
To everyone else, DITTO.
Have I missed any BIG KERFUFFLES in the blogsphere while I've been radio silent?
*Also taking up time: my current, possibly less-than-healthy obsession with Prison Architect, which I CAN'T. STOP. PLAYING.
Just home from the library's board meeting, and, as you may have guessed from the line I quoted above, I am a happy girl.
Everything I wanted, I got:
1. The board approved my suggested changes to the days and hours we're open. In other words, NO MORE ELEVEN HOUR DAYS AND SPLIT WEEKENDS, WOOOOOOOO.
Instead, the library will be open a much more managable (and sane) eight hours Tuesdays-Fridays, three hours on Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday.
2. They also moved to start accepting physical donations again, which means I can FINALLY publicly thank Jenne at Scholastic for THE BEST CONGRATULATORY GIFT EVER--->
Note: That picture? Is only of TWO-THIRDS of her donation. SHE (and her buddies) SINGLE-HANDEDLY INCREASED MY YA SECTION BY A QUARTER, IF NOT A THIRD.
I love you, Jenne.
3. They—with no debate whatsoever—voted to shell out in order to join the library delivery van service, which will allow me to A) provide ILL services and B) host book groups.
And now, as promised, here are the highlights of what I've done over the last month (in addition to the aforementioned new YA section):
- Created a HUGE book sale area.
- Started HEAVILY weeding the adult nonfiction, which is... well, it needs to be weeded. Bad.
- Moved stuff around in the children's area and created an island display area with books faced out at actual kids'-eye-level.
- Separated the audiobooks on CD from the audiobooks on cassette (they were mixed) and catalogued all of the ACDs.
- Deep-sixed all of the VHS tapes and the audiobooks on cassette.
- Created a (very low-key) website.
Like I said, those are the highlights. There was WAAAAAAAAAY more.
But HOLY CATS, I NEED A NAP.
At work today, Raylan Givens helped me catalog some Amish romances:
Then he put some way out-of-date Book Review Digests in their place:
And then, finally, Josh stopped by the library and, while I was helping a patron, took it upon himself to fix Raylan's hat:
So, that was my day.
How was yours?
From the CBC:
Dereen filed a complaint to the library to get the book, and others like them, removed from the shelves or moved to a separate section free from the gaze of children. The library responded by saying that it did not plan to change its policies, and that the child’s guardian is ultimately responsible for the books he or she wants to check out.
Dereen then turned to Fox 59 in the hopes that it would help sway public opinion in her favour.
Is it just me, or is the dude's arm on the book cover INSANELY THIN?
Anyway, my favorite thing about this whole story is that the kid checked the book out thinking that it was about video game cheat codes. Because... well, again, I direct your attention to the cover art.
At the moment, my patron base appears to skew more retiree than preschooler.
I do have some preschoolers, and in particular, a pair of 3-year-old twins who are OBSESSED with Sophie's Squash.
Every week they come in, and every week one of them spots it, and every week, that kicks off a tagteam of, "Sophie!" "Squash!" "Sophie!" "Squash!" and then their mom saying something along the lines of, "I know you love Sophie, but you have to let the OTHER kids get a chance with her!"
And then they get distracted by the toybox, and the moment passes.
But, MAN. They do love that book.
And I admit it: so do I.

Aiming ever to bring sinners to Christ, and Christians to higher attainments in holiness.
When I commenced the collection of facts respecting the life of this distinguished minister I made very slow progress. This was not strange, for he was called by the Presbyterian Church, in Moulton, nearly sixty years ago, was eighty years old when he died. and had been dead more than forty years, so that the space of time to be investigated extended as far back as 120 years. I had known Dr. Cunningham, personally, for about a year; admired him as a man and a preacher and felt satisfied that he had a history of much interest, provided it could be brought to light. I first applied for information to the Alabama State Historical Society, at Tuscaloosa, and obtained valuable items as to the latter part of his life, which closed near this place. From Maj. H. B. McLellan, president of Sayre Female Institute, I received important information as to his long pastorate at Lexington, Ky. Rev. F. B. Converse, of Louisville, editor of the Christian Observer, was written to. He promptly supplied what he could, remarking “that it was too long ago for us to furnish any information respecting him from personal knowledge,” and suggested that, possibly, the Presbyterian Historical Society, at Philadelphia, might contribute some items. I felt discouraged, but early nearly fifty years of his valuable life remained unaccounted for, and I addressed an inquiry to that society, who referred it to Rev. Henry E. Dwight, D.D., of Philadelphia. The doctor promptly sent an account of Dr. Cunningham from his birth, covering fully and circumstantially the blank in his history, and shedding much light on the subsequent part of his career. The authorities cited by Dr. Dwight were Revs. J. D. Shane, Nathan S. Beman and S. McCulloch. This forms the staple of the following sketch of the life of Dr. Cunningham. I have interwoven, in their order, such facts as I have ascertained, so as to present at one view the principal events of a long and useful life. I have made this preliminary explanation for the purpose of showing how it happened that I am able to present so circumstantial an account of events of so ancient a date, the reliable resources for which they were derived, and the importance of historical societies.
Robert M. Cunningham, a son of Roger and Mary Cunningham, was born in York county, Pa., September 10, 1760. In his fifteenth year, his father removed his family to North Carolina, where he bought a plantation, and reared his children. White quite a youth he served as a soldier in the revolutionary war. At the close of the war, he entered a Latin school, taught by the Rev. Robert Finley, in the neighborhood of Rocky River, N. C. He remained here a year, and then went to Bethel settlement, York county, N. C., to be a pupil of Mr. Robert McCulloch, for two years. Then he removed to an academy on Bullock’s creek, taught by Rev. Jos. Alexander. In 1787 (being 26 years of age) he entered the junior class in Dickinson College, Carlisle; and graduated in 1789.
On leaving college, he returned to his parents. While studying theology he taught school for a support. He soon joined the First Presbytery of South Carolina, by which he was licensed to preach, in 1792. Here he married his first wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Charles and Mary Moore, of Spartanburg District. She died on November 3, 1794; issue, a daughter who died early.
In the autumn of 1792 he went to Georgia and organized a church in a part of Green county, now called Hancock; and ordained elders to a church called Ebenezer. He settled in the neighborhood, opened a school, and preached alternately at Ebenezer and Bethany and subsequently removed to Bethany, where he remained until he left the State. On October 15, 1795, he married Betsy Ann, daughter of Joseph Parks, of Prince Edward county, Va. By this marriage he had five sons. In 1796, he, with four other ministers, were sent off from the Presbytery of South Carolina, to form one in Georgia, called Hopewell, which was constituted the March following. On October 14, 1805, he married, as a third wife, Emily, daughter of Col. Byrd, of Augusta, Ga., who survived him. Here was a family of distinction. Her sister, Caroline, married Benj. C. Yancey, a lawyer of great promise in South Carolina, who died in the morning of life. Wm. L. Yancey, the great Southern orator was her son, by this marriage. She married a second time, Rev. Nathan S. Beman, a Presbyterian minister, who occupied the pulpit in Augusta for many years; and had great reputation for learning and eloquence. A strong proof of this was given in the fact that his Northern anti-slavery opinions were tolerated. Another sister of this family marred Jesse Beene, of Cahaba, Ala., a distinguished lawyer and politician. At the time of this marriage, we judge that Mr. Cunningham had won distinction in a ministerial and social respect.
In 1807, Mr. Cunningham removed to Lexington, Ky., and was installed pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, succeeding Rev. Dr. Blythe, who was the first preacher of that church. Lexington was the oldest town in the State of Kentucky, and in the centre of a beautiful and fertile country. Its society was even then celebrated for its wealth and intellectual culture. Of all the pulpits west of the mountains, none required a minster of learning and eloquence more than the one occupied by Mr. Cunningham. Here were the homes of the Clays, Breckinridges, and other families which have since been famous in the history of the country. One would be apt to conclude, that at this early period, the grade of the Presbyterian preachers was much below what it is at the present day, but it is not so. From the progress of the Arts and Sciences the modern preachers may have a broader culture, but I much doubt if any one of them is the equal, in eloquence, of Dr. Samuel Davies, who died a hundred years ago. His fervid, rich, imaginative style, flowing as ample as the current of a great river, was the model for ministers who succeeded him in the early part of this century. Mr. Cunningham’s pastorate there was a long one. The records of the board of trustees show that he was called in 1807 and continued until 1821, inclusive. He became a member of the Synod of Kentucky as early as 1803, and was one of the founders of the Kentucky Bible Society of 1817. The early sessional records of this church can not be found; and therefore we are unable to present as full an account of him as is desirable at this period of his life, when he was in full mental and bodily vigor.
He remained in Lexington until 1822, when he resigned and removed to Moulton, a small town in North Alabama. He was now an old man and had been laboring as a minster for thirty years. He became a farmer, preaching constantly in Moulton and surrounding villages. In the fall of 1826 he removed to the South and bought a farm eleven miles from Tuscaloosa, on the Greensboro road. In Tuscaloosa, and at the neighboring town of Carthage, near his plantation, he built up churches. Here he alternated, occasionally preaching at Greensboro, of which church his son Joseph was pastor. For eight years he preached a free gospel at Tuscaloosa, and then resigned in favor of Rev. Wm. Williams. For several years afterward he supplied the pulpit at Carthage, and preached his last sermon in the summer of 1836. From this time his mental and bodily powers began to decline.
He was honored with the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Franklin College, Georgia, in 1827, when Dr. Waddell was President, and Dr. Church, and James and Henry Jackson, were members of the Faculty. In 1836 he removed to Tuscaloosa for the sake of schools for his youngest daughter, and several orphan grandchildren, and partly to provide a comfortable home for his family, in view of his approaching departure; but he still passed the greater part of his time at his retreat near his plantation. Here his favorite authors were Milton, President Edwards and Dr. Thomas Dick. In June, 1839, he attended the meeting of the Presbytery at Tuscaloosa, and was enabled to address that body—his last effort in public. After an illness of a week, he died. His monument stands in the city cemetery of Tuscaloosa, with an inscription on each of its four sides in the Latin language, showing, among other things, that he had been a soldier in the Revolution; that he had been Pastor of Presbyterian churches in Georgia, and in Lexington, Ky., for many years, and that he died on the 11th day of July, A. D. 1839, 80 years of age.
Rev. Joseph Cunningham (above referred to) was one of five sons by his father’s second marriage, and a minister of ability. By his last marriage, he had a son, Robert, a physician, who died in Sumter county, Alabama, and three daughters, viz.: Mrs. Maltby, Mrs. Wilson and Miss Louisa, who it is believed was never married.
Dr. Dwight says: “The exterior of Dr. Cunningham was impressive. His stature at fifty-three years of age was more than six feet, and his form was full and well developed. His face was good, his eye mild but expressive, and his utterances in private conversation, in the pulpit and in social meetings were eloquent. In his preaching he was less doctrinal than experimental, aiming ever to bring sinners to Christ, and Christians to higher attainments in holiness. He was on the best terms will all evangelical Christians, and rejoiced in the progress of Christ’s kingdom under any form, and the glory of God in all events. He greatly rejoiced in revivals of religion, which, in his time, were wonderful in Kentucky, and extended farther South, till they reached Georgia. Here was the hiding of his power, which tinged and colored all his subsequent ministry. His great tenderness in preaching opened many hearts, whilst God’s spirit sealed their souls.
The Presbyterian Church in Moulton had no settled minister for many years after Dr. Cunningham moved away. Early records of the Presbytery have been mislaid, and I therefore can not speak with certainty on this point. I remember that the Rev. —- Morrison filled this pulpit for several years. He was a young man of great dignity, and propriety of deprotment, and an earnest, sensible preacher. After him came Rev. — McMillan, who taught a classical school at the Chalybeate Springs, seven miles northeast of Moulton, and supplied the pulpit in Moulton. He was a good theologian, and a pious, good preacher. I shall have more to say of these ministers in connection with other churches. For several years, also, previous to 1830, a young minister of Tuscumbia, named Ashbridge, occasionally preached in Moulton. He was a man of fine intellect, of high culture, and of a rich imagination. He died early, and his death was very much lamented by people of all denominations. Had he lived to middle life he would have been an orator of the first class.

Good morning New York Giants fans! Here are some news and updates for this Monday morning.
Giants may have interest in Aldon Smith
There is interest in Aldon Smith from several NFL teams, notably NY Giants. But what's really important is a life spiraling out of control.— Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) August 10, 2015
If true, this news is completely shocking as the Giants tend to avoid players with these kinds of off the field issues. Smith has recently been arrested for vandalism, a hit and run and for driving under the influence. In previous years he has been arrested for multiple DUIs, and has failed the substance abuse policy. In one event, he had created havoc at the Los Angeles International Airport. However, the Giants have a big need for a proven pass rusher with the Jason-Pierre Paul injury. This could simply be the Giants doing their due diligence on a player, something they always do.
Giants say they keep all their options open but personally I'd find it hard to believe they'd consider Smith right now ...— Patricia Traina (@Patricia_Traina) August 10, 2015
...given his off field issues. First priority is to get him on track. Besides they should be able to generate pass rush with Kennard at OLB.— Patricia Traina (@Patricia_Traina) August 10, 2015
Training Camp Updates
Jason Pierre-Paul and Tom Coughlin finally speak.
Victor Cruz speaks on his recovery process this training camp.
Geremy Davis talks of a changed Coughlin and his new "scientific approach."
The Giants' defense is focusing on stopping the run.
Around the league
Former Giant James Brewer talks of how training camp is different as a New York Jet than a Giant.

"Corner Hotel with ocean view" Sep.08,2010
Más Decoración Magazine La Tercera
Some months of operation has the hotel Cirilo Armstrong, an alternative to the current range of hotels in Valparaiso, which promises to enhance the cultural character that the port has developed in recent years.
An empty lot overlooking the Quebrada Miraflores, the Cerro Cárcel and near by to the cerro Panteon, was the place chosen by Elisa Assler and her husband, the architect Joaquín Velasco, to build the hotel Cirilo Armstrong. Originally, the land was purchased by his parents to develop a housing project, but over time they opted for a hotel, but not a typical hotel, since interest were clearly going for something less commercial and that meant a contribution to the city.
Both are artists and artists' children: Elisa is a visual artist and designer, daughter of our National Art Award, Federico Assler and Joaquin is the son of Joaquin Velasco and Patricia Rubio, both prominent architects and she is a outstanding stained glass artist. Because of this art has been a constant in their lives and under that premise they decided that would be the axis around which the concept of the hotel would be developed. They located for this purpose a large common room, which brings together hosts and guests and also contains the living room of Cirilo, equipped for meetings, workshops, etc...
11 departments, all on two floors, bedroom upstairs and lobby down stairs ,some with terrace, up the stakes of this boutique hotel, which are equipad with everything you need to spend some time and get to know what the port has to offer, in addition to the complete activities that thi hass couple, including trips to the plant nurseries in the area, excursions or tours of artists studios.
So far the buzz has functioned as the best letter of recommendation and reservations have increased. Tel: 318 7257. www.ciriloarmstrong.com

Democrats love to pretend they are the party of science. Joe Biden and other Democrats are always saying that they will listen to scientists, and everyone must follow science.
But according to Joe Biden’s running mate Kamala Harris, science suddenly doesn’t matter as long as Trump is still the president.
She recently said in an interview that she wouldn’t take Trump’s word on a vaccine for COVID-19.
Kamala Harris says Trump not credible on possible COVID-19 vaccine
In an interview excerpt broadcast by CNN on Saturday, Harris said Trump had a track record of suppressing expert opinion about the coronavirus pandemic and that she worried that might happen again in the case of a prospective vaccine.
“I would not trust Donald Trump,” Harris said, saying she would be convinced of the efficacy of a vaccine only if someone credible were vouching for it as well.
“I will not take his word for it.”
At least 6.2 million people have been infected in the U.S. coronavirus outbreak, which has taken 187,833 lives, according to a Reuters tally.
With the government’s handling of the world’s worst outbreak of the disease under close scrutiny, Trump has dangled the possibility that a vaccine might be ready ahead of the Nov. 3 U.S. presidential election.
See the video below:
In other words, this is all about politics.
Biden and Harris don’t care about that.
They only care about winning.

"El Álamo" farm, in Almonte, with around 400 hectares of irrigated crops
In the 1990's, a family of Valencian origin decided to give strawberry cultivation a try by renting land in the area surrounding Doñana, in Huelva. This is the origin of what would eventually become Surexport, the private company that produces the largest volume of strawberries and other berries in Europe. Three siblings are currently in charge of the family business, which will soon open its new 20,000 square meter facility with offices, equipped with the latest technology for the handling and packaging of berries. FreshPlaza visited its plantations and one of its packing centers in Almonte.
"From the beginning, and quite unlike other players in the sector, this company's commercial model has been based on finding customers before producing the fruit, as well as on keeping stable supply agreements for a whole campaign, always with the sights set on the big supermarket chains operating across Europe. We understand that it is fundamental to keep the supply and the demand in balance and to be able to grow in a sustainable manner," says Miguel Benjumea, assistant manager at Surexport.
The journey started with the cultivation of strawberries, which, to this day, are still the company's flagship product, with around 40 million kilos per year. Over time, they expanded the strawberry farms and started to introduce raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. They currently have around 1,300 hectares of berries, 45% of which are devoted to strawberries, 35% to raspberries and 20% to blueberries.
In order to stand out, Surexport bets, among other things, on its own variety program. "In the past, we tried to differentiate ourselves more with our presentations and packaging, but for more than ten years, we have relied on the marketing of new varieties. This is possible thanks to our test fields and our agreements with breeders. In 2008, we reached our first agreement with exclusive strawberry varieties with our customers, and ever since, we've had new varieties every year. This year, for example, we'll have the new strawberry varieties Inspire and Renewall, among many others."
The British market accounts for an important part of Surexport's sales. At present, it is one of the main berry suppliers of the supermarket chain Tesco. "We were the first strawberry exporters to reach the British market, which is very demanding, but also pays higher prices if you are able to offer a service that meets the needs of the customer," says Miguel Benjumea. "Moreover, it is a very mature market when it comes to the consumption of red fruits; so much so, that the demand remains more or less stable all year round. This motivated us to diversify our production areas, until we were able to obtain a stable supply throughout the year. The trend to break with the seasonality of berry consumption is gradually extending to other markets, as is the case of Spain," he adds.
Surexport is currently able to supply the entire range of red fruits regularly for 12 months a year. "In Spain, we produce strawberries mainly in Huelva, and for the summer production, we have Galicia and Portugal, whose season lasts from May to November. We also have plantations in Morocco, both in the north and in the south, in order to have fruit between the months of November and March, which is when we already have high volumes in Huelva again. For raspberry production, we have plantations in Huelva, as well as in Galicia, Morocco, Portugal and also in Kenya, from where they are shipped exclusively to the United Kingdom.
Surexport is in control of the entire process, from the fruit's cultivation to its handling and sale, avoiding intermediaries and agreeing on volumes and prices in order to try preventing market oscillations. 80% of the company's sales are made outside of Spain. The company has a subsidiary in the Netherlands with a good logistical infrastructure to handle the exports to northern Europe and the eastern countries. "To reach destinations outside the EU, distance is the greatest challenge; however, we are among the few that manage to ship strawberries to Scandinavian countries, such as Denmark, with an optimum quality. This is possible because we have the Victory variety, whose shelf life is longer than average compared to other varieties in the market."
According to Miguel Benjumea, blueberries are among the berries recording the biggest growth. "Promotional campaigns intended to boost blueberry consumption are being carried out around the world. The demand has increased significantly in recent years in Spain alone, and now all distribution chains have blueberries on their shelves, although we still have a long way to go."
Huelva's sector threatened by lack of laborers and water restrictions
According to Miguel Benjumea, Huelva's production could be seriously threatened by both a lack of specialized labor and the restrictions on the supply of water for irrigation.
Living quarters at "El Álamo" farm, with capacity for 1,000 laborers.
"Last year, we had up to 4,000 people working with us while Huelva's campaign was in full swing, since the most productive periods of many crops overlap. It would be easier for us to hire local workers, but these, for the most part, prefer other jobs and are not interested in working in agriculture. This results in us looking for foreign labor, with the difficulties that this entails. We receive workers from Morocco and Eastern countries, since we have offices in Bulgaria and Romania to handle recruitment. It is very difficult to hire so many people every year, since a lot of steps are necessary, from obtaining a work permit in Spain to opening bank accounts. These procedures considerably slow the process down. We are able to offer fully equipped accommodation, which naturally entails having to deal with a lot of people with different nationalities and different customs."
In many cases, the conditions of the accommodation for immigrant laborers are better than in their countries of origin.
There are also water restrictions in place, especially in the area of Huelva County. They are regulated by the national hydrological plan, which establishes water availability limits for each crop. In fact, in recent years, many producers have moved their plantations to the Lepe and Cartaya areas because of the scarcity of land with legal water availability in the County area. Moreover, after a long time producing in those areas, they had found that their plantations were illegal. "We have never planted without the certainty that the land was suitable for agriculture and that it had the relevant concession or water supply, and that is why we are not suffering from this problem. However, it is difficult to understand why strawberry, which is planted every year and has a production cycle of about eight months, has the same water supply as blueberries, which is a perennial shrub that requires maintenance throughout the year," says Benjumea.
"Fresh cut products have a great future in Spain"
Frozen fruit accounts for 5% of Surexport's business, and another area with marked growth and a great future is that of fresh cut products. In fact, the company has a 50% stake in PrepWorld Spain, which was launched in October 2018. The English company BerryWorld has the other 50% stake. "Consumers no longer perceive fruits as seasonal products and increasingly seek comfort and convenience. We believe that the fresh cut range has a great future in Spain."

Can I just say, I am totally proud of myself this week friends, i was finally able to mark making fresh pasta off my culinary bucket list! I was able to make it a few times and now I know it like the back of my hand. I still remain a humble student to this craft but am getting better each time I whip up a batch of this rich pasta! I love to make fettuccine but also have made tagliatelle and pappardelle with good results.
Why would anyone make pasta when they could buy quality pasta and save themselves the learning curve of Nonna’s constructive criticism! Lol! Well, Nonna was young once too, and in the word’s of your beloved Italian grandma ……”la pratica rende perfetti!” which means practice makes perfect. After all, we all have to start somewhere…am i right? Just give it a try, it’s not as hard as it looks and after a few go’s at it…you will be a pro in no time! I’m just getting in touch with the twenty percent Italian i recently found out I have in my Ancestry DNA results…i knew it! So that’s why I’m a sucker for all things pasta-reffic! I’m a melting pot I tell ya, diverse in every way and that’s why I love international cuisine because it is unifying.
Why not just cook pasta from a box? Well, I actually love pasta in a box as well! I love pasta in all forms as long as it’s a quality brand I can trust with my tastebuds! That being said, fresh pasta is made with flour & eggs versus flour & water and yields a richer flavor and texture. Have you ever had tortellini, ravioli, or even egg noodles? The flavor and texture is more pronounced and lends itself to an entirely more rewarding experience when dining…think pasta at its finest, gourmet pasta if you will. Fresh pasta is definitely a must try my friends. What techniques and tips do you use to make pasta and do you think it’s worth the effort to make fresh pasta?? Let me know in the comments and ciao amici!
YOU WILL NEED:
- 2 cups all-purpose, super fine Italian (for silkier texture) or semolina flour (for more bite and texture)
- 3 large eggs + 2 egg yolks
- Olive oil
- Pinch of salt
PREP TIME: 1 HOUR
COOK TIME: <5 MINUTES
STEP 1: Prepare your Dough
- When making pasta, it’s less about measuring and more about the feel of the dough, so these measurements are more about a general ratio of the ingredients. Remember to do what feels right, it’s a labor of love, if you need a little more flour or less flour as your dough is forming then go with the flow. Add two cups all-purpose, semolina, quality super fine flour like “00” flour or a mixture to a large mixing bowl and mix well. Mixing the dry flour will help it to be lighter and incorporate together. Now make a wide and deep well in the middle of your flour for your eggs. Add three eggs plus two additional yolks to the center of the well, along with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Using a fork beat the eggs, slowly incorporating some of the flour into the well of beaten eggs. Continue adding more and more flour until a dough begins to form then take the dough on to a floured surface and start to knead it with your hands.
STEP 2: Knead the Dough
- We need to develop the gluten in the dough which will give it structure and help it hold it’s shape, without it the dough would not form. Using the heels of your hands fold the dough into itself over and over and on all sides using firm motions. If your dough gets sticky continue to add small amounts of flour and continue kneading. You want to continue kneading your dough until it gets smoother, less sticky and more elastic with each motion and eventally becomes a smooth, round, soft ball of dough which takes around ten minutes. It should look similar to this but will eventually be completely smooth and round just keep on kneading.
STEP 3: Rest the Dough
- Now it’s time to let your pasta dough rest. Resting the dough allows the gluten in the dough to rehydrate, relax and become more elastic and easy to work with. To rest your dough, take your pasta ball and firmly seal it in plastic wrap or in a covered bowl. Leave it at room temperature to rest for about thirty minutes to one hour. This is essential to a tender pasta versus a rubbery texture and texture is everything for pasta.
STEP 4: Your Dough is Ready
- Now that your dough has rested it is ready to be transformed into fresh pasta and will be pliable enough to work with at this stage. Start by lightly flouring your surface and a rolling pin. Now divide your pasta into small sections so that it is easier to work with. Seal the extra sections with plastic wrap until you are ready to work with it so that it does not dry out. Sometimes I will divide mine into small balls about golf ball size in diameter, this allows me to work with each section section faster . At this stage you can add any seasonings or herbs to your dough while rolling it out. For this pasta shown I was making delicious lemon pepper & basil fettuccine and I seasoned it while rolling it out into sheets.
- Take each section and firmly roll it out with your rolling pin, streching it out very thinly with your rolling pin until it is thin enough to see the shape of your hands under the dough.
- Now take each thin sheet and roll it up like a long log then cut it horizontally down the entire log into 1/2 inch ribbons with a small, sharp, serrated and floured knife. Gently unravel each ribbon and lightly flour your separated noodles so they don’t stick together. This is the way I usually do it to make fresh fettuccine pasta noodles or tagliatelli. I have the best results when keeping the diameter small. I am still a student in the art of making fresh pasta, I still have a long way to go and more to learn but these steps have helped me on my journey. These are the types of pasta I have experience in making although with a pasta machine you can create many more with minimal effort. This is also great at this stage to freeze in Ziplock bags and cook for a few minutes in boiling water without the need to thaw, you won’t have to sacrifice freshness, just freeze all that goodness until a more convenient time!
STEP 5: Time to Cook your Pasta
- While you are working on the prior step of rolling out your dough into pasta noodles, this would be a great time to start boiling your pasta water. Fill a large stockpot with salted water and bring to a rolling boil.
- Fresh pasta cooks extremely fast…in about one minute to a minute and a half maximum, so keep and eye on your pasta and remember to taste for doneness. Once your pasta is cooked it is ready to season and sauce to your liking. Bon Appetit!

The Artist’ deserves pick of the week but not pick of the year
Published 10:30 am, Monday, July 2, 2012
Pick of the week: “THE ARTIST” (PG-13) This year’s best picture Oscar winner never made it to the big screen in Midland and was available only for a short time in Odessa. After all, we apparently aren’t sophisticated enough to justify screening a silent, black and white film. So it was utterly heartbreaking to see this film best the nine other nominees at this year’s Academy Awards, not only for being the only nominee I didn’t see but because I was certain another film was better. Having now seen “The Artist,” I still feel the same way. “The Artist,” however, is a lovely film. I enthusiastically applaud Jean Dujardin’s performance and support his best actor win. I fully think Uggie, the canine actor that played the wonderful little beast who stuck by his master through thick and thin, deserved the academy’s first non-human best supporting actor nod. And I was transfixed to my small screen throughout, cursing myself for not making that drive to Odessa. And perhaps because I didn’t get the opportunity to see “The Artist” is all its cinematic glory, my heart remains with “Hugo” as the best film of 2011. A
“BREAKAWAY” (PG-13) Bollywood takes on the sports film genre in this tale of a first generation Indian man living in Canada torn between pleasing his old-fashioned father and indulging his dream of becoming a professional hockey player. Film has heart, but the honor-versus-desire perspective was told better in “Bend it Like Beckham.” It also follows formula too often to distinguish itself among a long line of better hockey movies, notably “Slap Shot,” “Mystery, Alaska” and “The Mighty Ducks.” One thing that does set this film apart is its terrific hip-hop enhanced Indian soundtrack, thanks to a little help from Ludacris. B-
“HIDING” (PG-13) A teen who is sole witness to the murder of her parents must enter the witness protection program. Forgettable thriller is at its best in the school scenes as the New York teen — nicely played by Ana Villafañe — attempts to acclimate to life in a small Montana town. But that’s also the movie’s biggest fault. Whether trying to be a suspense film that offers no real sense of urgency or a “Mean Girls” ripoff without all the snark, “Hiding” drifts in a state of limbo. C+
“THE PERFECT FAMILY” (PG-13) Kathleen Turner plays a wife and mother trying to keep the seams of her dysfunctional family from bursting when she is nominated for the Catholic woman of the year award at her church. Turner’s performance in the film is almost perfect, drawing sympathy for her character despite her intolerance and homophobia. But by playing a woman driven to the edge by the imperfections in her daily routine, I almost expected Turner to become Beverly R. Sutphin again, the title character she so memorably played in “Serial Mom.” And when things got dull in this film, that kind of unexpected humor would have given it meaning. C
“A THOUSAND WORDS” (PG-13) There perhaps is no other performer more capable of pleasing the masses one moment — he stole the show in “Tower Heist” — then squandering his talent and disappointing fans more than Eddie Murphy. His latest sadly falls into the latter category. Murphy’s over-the-top emoting is quite painful to watch in this film whose only redeeming quality is its production. Millions was spent on everything from sets to location shoots, costumes and talent and it looks spectacular. But it all falls into the lipstick-on-a-pig department. The story is absolutely ridiculous and all the mugging in the world can’t save it. Add this one to Murphy’s worst pile, which also includes “Norbit” and “The Adventures of Pluto Nash,” C-
“21 JUMP STREET” (R) While still following the basic premise of the TV series on which it was based, this tongue-in-cheek adaptation goes for the obvious joke too often. When it doesn’t, it can be almost achingly funny. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum — who also multi-tasked as producers of the film — don’t always share a traditional buddy movie chemistry, but for the most part, they work well together. The action sequences that led off the third act don’t impress either, but the ultimate reward comes from a cameo appearance by the heartthrob from the original TV show who i think managed to have a little career in show business. Sorry, ladies, I don’t mean Richard Greico. A-
Ephron’s legacy includes important, influential films
Author and filmmaker Nora Ephron died June 26 of leukemia. She was 71. Her Associated Press obituary said Ephron was born into a family of screenwriters. She was a top journalist in her 20s and 30s, then a best-selling author and successful director. Loved, respected and feared for her devastating and diverting wit, she was among the most quotable and influential writers of her generation. Following is a list of a few of her most important cinematic accomplishments.
“When Harry Met Sally” (1989) Arguably one of the best — if not the best — romantic comedies of all time. Written by Ephron and directed by Rob Reiner, this timeless classic still delights 23 years after its release. Thousands still flock annually to Katz’s Delicatessen in New York to have their picture taken at the table where the famous “orgasm” scene was filmed.
“Sleepless in Seattle" (1993) Ephron wrote and directed this clever dramedy that paid tribute to “An Affair to Remember’s” famous Empire State Building scene and firmly established Meg Ryan as America’s Sweetheart. Ryan actually took the role after many others had turned it down, including Julia Roberts, Kim Basinger, Michelle Pheiffer, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jodie Foster.
“Heartburn” (1986) Based on Ehpron’s book, the film adaptation — directed by Mike Nichols — chronicled her failed marriage to Carl Bernstein, the reporter who, with Bob Woodward, exposed Watergate. A critical and fan flop, the film starred Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep and featured the film debuts of Tony Shaloub, whose scenes were cut, and Kevin Spacey.
“Julie & Julia” (2009) Ephron’s last film was greatly influenced by her favorite hobby, cooking. She and cinematographer Stephen Goldblatt used camera tricks to make Meryl Streep, who is 5 feet 6 inches, look as tall as Julia Child, who was 6 feet 2 inches.

'It's Who We Are' Planned Parenthood President Makes it Clear that Abortion Is Their 'Core Mission'
Kayla Koslosky : Jan 11, 2019
"First, our core mission is providing, protecting and expanding access to abortion and reproductive health care. We will never back down from that fight..." -Planned Parenthood President Dr. Leana Wen

Wen recently did an interview with BuzzFeed News where she said she wanted to focus on non-abortion health care options within Planned Parenthood, but when the article can out, she made it clear that abortion is the organization's "core mission."
In the interview with BuzzFeed News, Wen said, "The last thing I would want is people to get the impression that we are backing off of our core services." She continued, "What we will always be here to do is provide abortion access as part of the full spectrum of reproductive health care, it's who we are"...

RABAT, Morocco, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Polls opened Friday in Morocco to elect 395 members of parliament amid concerns voter turnout would be low, political analysts said.
It's the first national election since King Mohammed VI revamped the constitution giving parliament more authority under his absolute rule, The New York Times reported.
Some 13 million people are eligible to vote for 5,873 candidates from 33 parties.
That makes it unlikely a single party will win a majority, Mohamad Darif, a political analyst at the Hassan II University in Casablanca, told the Times.
In any case, the king will choose the prime minister from whichever party has the greatest number of seats regardless of whether it has an overall majority.
The Times said in interviews with people throughout the country, it found widespread frustration, suspicion and detachment from the parliamentary system, similar to the run-up to the last election in 2007, when only 37 percent of eligible voters cast ballots.
Results were expected to be announced Saturday, officials said.

Redmond to Save $100,000 Annually with ESPC
The city of Redmond, Ore., hired Ameresco for a comprehensive $1.2 million energy savings performance contract (ESPC) to address energy efficiency in 11 city buildings. As part of the project, Ameresco conducted an energy audit on more than 272,000 square feet of building space and identified energy conservation measures that it will design, construct, commission and verify.
The project will include lighting and controls upgrades and the installation of two 10 kW solar PV systems at a city sports field.
The city of Redmond is expected to realize more than $100,000 annually in energy savings once the 11 projects are completed in late-spring 2015. In addition, the city expects to leverage the energy savings of the project to secure about $159,000 in utility incentives from the Energy Trust of Oregon.

|Senator Mary Landrieu (Democrat)|
Sen. Mary Landrieu knew she would be a top target for Republicans gunning to take back control of the Senate. She knew it because President Bush beat Democrat Al Gore in the state in 2000 and, more importantly, because she had won her own seat in 1996 by some 5,788 votes -- only .3 percent of nearly 1.7 million ballots cast.
Landrieu's election sparked a legislative challenge and congressional inquiry that would last 10 months into her first term. Her victory over veteran state legislator Louis "Woody" Jenkins led to a detailed review by the Senate Rules Committee, led by Virginia Republican John Warner. Even when several of Jenkins' witnesses recanted in the summer of 1997, the inquiry continued, angering Landrieu and other Senate Democrats. But by October the committee had exhausted the investigation and allowed the results to stand, despite citing several instances of voter fraud..
When it was finally over, Landrieu still stood as the first woman ever elected to a full term of service in the U.S. Senate from the state of Louisiana.
Landrieu grew up in an old New Orleans political family. The eldest of nine children born to Moon Landrieu, the mayor of the Big Easy during the 1970's, she seemed destined for a life in politics. Educated at the prestigious Ursuline Academy, she went on to earn B.A. in sociology from Louisiana State University. After graduation, she volunteered for the judicial campaign of family friend Gerard Hansenfor and saw an opportunity to follow in her father's famous footsteps.
At the age of 23, prompted by friends and family, she ran for the state House of Representatives. With the help of the family name, Landrieu knocked off her opponent and became the youngest woman ever elected to the legislature. Her colleagues greeted her with whistles the first time she addressed the chamber and once put rubber snakes in her desk. Despite the hazing, she still managed to push through legislation cracking down on deadbeat dads and protecting victims of domestic abuse.
After eight years as a representative, Landrieu took aim at a statewide office, running for treasurer on a platform of reform and fiscal responsibility. Building on her two successful runs for the state house, she waged a disciplined statewide operation, defeating a well-regarded state representative and two other candidates.
As treasurer, Landrieu opened up the state contract system that had been noted for its cronyism. She also stood out as a critic of both the powerful governor at the time, Edwin Edwards, and a movement to legalize gambling. After Edwards' political demise amid a flurry of racketeering, fraud and extortion allegations, Landrieu decided to run for governor in 1995.
The governor's race was a tight one, with four candidates bunched closely together in the polls on primary day. When the totals became clear, Landrieu had gone down in defeat. By just 1 percent, or 8,983 votes, she missed the runoff election. It marked her first defeat since entering politics 16 years earlier.
Rather than fold her tent, Landrieu simply changed her choice of office. Almost immediately she began campaigning for the Senate seat being vacated by Bennett Johnson. In early polling, Landrieu and Democratic Attorney General Richard Ieyoub were running far ahead of any potential Republicans, including the former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.
Louisiana Republicans drafted veteran state legislator Woody Jenkins to run. As the open primary approached, national GOP ads flooded the airwaves attacking Ieyoub's questionable election spending in past campaigns. The result of the campaigning was a close primary -- Jenkins garnered 26 percent of the vote, Landrieu was second with 22 percent, Ieyoub ended third with 20 percent and Duke brought in 12 percent.
With the runoff set between Landrieu and Jenkins, the campaign turned ugly. Jenkins attacked Landrieu on abortion and gay rights issues, but Landrieu, by this time better financed, fired back. She criticized him for being too extreme in his fiscal views. The campaign grew even tighter when the Catholic Archbishop of New Orleans, Philip Hannan, declared if "a person actually believes in Catholic doctrine, then I don't see how they can vote for Landrieu without a feeling of sin."
In the end the vote was agonizingly close. Landrieu dominated in New Orleans and in the northwest part of the state. Jenkins barely won Baton Rouge, but decisively captured the traditionally Democratic areas of largely Cajun Catholics in the southern part of the state.
Once able to focus on governing, Landrieu built a solidly moderate voting record. As part of the Centrist Democratic Caucus, she cast critical votes on several key issues. She was one of the Democrats who backed President Bush's $1.25 trillion tax cut and endorsed the repeal of the so-called marriage penalty tax. She has also opposed other high-profile initiatives from the president. In January she voted against the confirmation of John Ashcroft as attorney general. She voted for the McCain-Feingold campaign finance bill. As her re-election campaign began, though, Landrieu declared she had voted with President Bush 74 percent of the time.

Lazio is a team full of great players, from Muslera in goal to Zarate up front, they’ve got some great players, especially for the future. Last season can only be described as a disappointment, 12th place with little fight in the team, but now, Lotito hopes to change that with some new players and a new manager. Edi Reja did great things with Napoli, he dragged them back into the Serie A, revitalizing the club, exactly what’s needed at Lazio. The team has quality spread throughout the positions, now all that’s needed is for Reja to unify them, and take them back into Europe. A dream which is still distant, but can be achieved.
Lazio is one of the clubs which has made some smart moves during this rather dismal transfer market, they’ve bought quality players to replace those who were slowly fading away. Probably the biggest signing for Lazio is Hernanes, the 25 year-old Brazilian midfielder thrived in Brazil with Sao Paolo, and now he has finally decided to move abroad. While he’s not the next Ronaldinho, he is a very intelligent player, very similar to Iniesta with his passing and footwork. Another important signing is Garrido from Manchester City, the winger wasn’t feeling part of Roberto Mancini’s plans, so he decided to move to Lazio, hoping to create a positive impact on the left wing. Lazio also signed Kozak, a 20 year-old center-forward who has already begun to shine in friendlies. Kozak will certainly be Lazio’s future striker, and while he might not be used much this season, he’s one to look out for.
While Lazio aren’t missing much, they could use some reinforcing in defense, where they’re not totally prepared, a big strong center-back would be useful, but isn’t an urgency. The other important spot to fill is the one which will be supporting Hernanes, while the Brazilian roams around the field, providing assists and more, he will need a defensive midfielder next to him to cover. And the last possible reinforcment would be in attack, while Zarate should establish himself in the starting 11 (he’s had some fights with Reja), he could use a tall center-forward. Rocchi is too old, Kozak is too young, and Floccari isn’t the best, so a strong and tall forward would be useful.
Edi Reja has one formation in mind for Lazio, a versatile 3-5-2 which should accommodate Hernanes who likes to move forward, and Lichsteiner and Garrido playing as wingbacks. The starting 11 would have Muslera in goal with a central three of Biava, Dias, and Radu in defense, then in the midfield you’d have a line of five which is made up of Lichtsteiner, Brocchi, Hernanes, Bresciano, and Garrido, with Zarate and Floccari up front. This would hopefully fit everyone on the field, letting Reja use his attacking gems to their full potential. With possibly Ledesma next to Hernanes, both behind Zarate and Floccari, you can expect a lot of goals from Lazio this season.
Sadly, Lazio has usually been the little brother to Roma, and things don’t look like changing very soon. But Reja is a coach which instills a project, taking teams up through the table, even into the Europa League. If Lotito can stick with Reja and provide him with the proper funding, we could see Lazio become a very strong team in the future. And maybe one day we could see Lazio surpass Roma, who is looking very shaky with their presidential position, but now Lazio has to fulfill their potential this season, then look to the future.
How do you think Lazio will do? Share your thoughts below!

New Delhi: Waking up to traumatising harassment faced by many Muslim women, the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) took suo-moto cognizance of the issue wherein the pictures of many Muslim women were uploaded under the term “Sulli”, a derogatory slur used to humiliate them by men mostly affiliated to right-wing groups or Hindutva groups.
Scores of Muslim women woke up on the morning of July 5t to realize that their photographs were uploaded on to GitHub, an internet platform under the derogatory caption “Sulli Deals”, where people randomly started sharing their picture on Twitter, essentially indicating that the women were up for grabs. Not only was this humiliating, but also something that borders on sexual harassment.
This caused the women in question to abandon social media altogether when faced with sexual and communal harassment which they argue is the handiwork of certain right-wing groups. The Delhi Commission for Women asked the Deputy Commissioner of Delhi police for a copy of the First Information Report (FIR), details of the accused and the subsequent arrest, detailed action taken by the report.
If and when the culprits are found guilty, Section 509 of the Indian Penal Code and under sections 67 and 67A of the Information Technology Act. The issue came to light when many internet users on social media platforms like Instagram began talking about the abhorrent act by the offenders. It slowly gained traction and was finally picked up and reported about by a section of the media.

The China Post
Date: April 16, 2015
By: The China Post news staff
TAIPEI, Taiwan — Laboratory tests run by the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MHW, 衛生福利部) yesterday found medicine manufactured by Liang Jih Tarng Bio Technology Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (良濟堂生技製藥有限公司) to be tainted with industrial-grade materials. Authorities immediately ordered the product to be removed from store shelves.
In the MHW’s report, the Liang Jih Tarng-branded “Guanyin Jiu Ku Dan” (觀音牌救苦丹) product contained industrial-grade magnesium carbonate, arsenic and iron, which violates standards of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The company now has five days to remove the product from shelves and complete a product recall within 30 days. Existing supplies of the medicine are to be sealed and shipping of it must be halted.
According to the company’s website, the product is used to treat stomach pain, vomiting, and abdominal pain. It also stated it was effective against hangover and mild coughing. [FULL STORY]

Want to travel to Siem Reap but don't have a lot of time to see it all? Or rather, want a relaxed day with balanced sightseeing and culture driven activities?We only had a couple of days in Siem Reap and even though Angor Wat is the city's main attraction, there are other ways of enjoying the buzzing town.
It is worth getting up at 05:00 hrs for this. Hire a tuk tuk from your hotel's reception to drive you through the Angor complex. There is more than one temple you should be circling on your map to see whilst here and the standard route the tuk tuk's take you are a pretty good reflection of it. The tour takes you about 4 hours and you shouldn't be paying more than $18.00 for 2 people. The tuk tuk driver takes you directly to Angor Wat in the early hours of 05:30 / 06:00 hrs, where you will see a swarm of people walking towards the temple. Stand and wait till 06:30 hrs when the sun rises from behind the temples and enjoy a most spiritual moment in silence with the crowds. Unfortunately, we had a bit of trouble with the weather as there were some clouds in the way, but this didn't tarnish the moment we had with the other 400 people standing by the lake watching. Then enjoy wandering through the temple, admiring the amazing architecture without the crowds of people you will find later on in the day.The tuk tuk driver then takes you to the Bayon temple of king Jayavarman VII. Enjoy exploring the ruins of this temple to see all 54 gothic towers famously decorated with 216 huge faces of Avalokiteshvara. The tour continues to various other temples within the complex, but we decided to head straight to Ta Prohm, the "Tomb Raider" temple, where you can see how nature has engulfed the ruins and the iconic tree roots grounded within the stones.
Located right in the centre of town, Belmiro's is a great little place for western cuisine. The host and waiters bring this place to life and you will be stuffed with any meal you decide to have from here! Truly worth a visit if you feel like having a slice of home away from home!
Visiting the museum will give you a great introduction into Angor's history, religious significance and cultural upbringing. Entry is $12.00 per person and is open until 18:00 hrs.
This was our favourite place to hang out and enjoy a nice cold beer! There are many pubs to choose from so enjoy picking one out. Through these streets you will also enjoy seeing the small push carts people have offering snakes, grasshoppers, spiders and scorpions to eat... I must say, I didn't like the look of any, let alone tasting them!
For all those budget travellers out there, we really wanted to go see an Aspara dance and dinner show but couldn't afford some $40.00 pp price tag, so instead we found out Temple Club Restaurant and Bar offer free Aspara Shows in the evenings between 19:30 - 21:30 hrs as long as you ordered some food or drinks. We therefore, made this place our dinner location and if you do the same, please please order the Garlic Prawns for starter.... Out. Of. This. World.

Combining certain foods that have a fast and slow digestion is not a good idea. This will result in fermentation of the food in your stomach that may poison your whole body. It will lead to slow digestion and fermentation of sugars and starches, and won’t allow you to enjoy your meal as you should. Besides this, the process of fermentation can also cause gasses, swelling and pain in the stomach as well as intestinal problems.
Here are 110 food combinations you should never try and if you’ve eating them before, stop immediately:
1. Eating fruit after meals is not a good idea – fruits need a lot of time to be digested and should never stay long in the stomach. Eating them after a meal will result in “wine” in your stomach that can lead to acid reflux and other digestive problems.
2. Meat and cheese omelet is a favorite meal of millions, but you should avoid putting too much protein on the same dish. Choose only one type of protein per meal.
3. You should never mix bread or noodles with orange juice as the acid content required to digest the juice can destroy the enzyme responsible for starch digestion.
5. Vegetables and cheese is another no-no combination – eating it will only result in bloating.
6. You should never eat melon and watermelon together, as these fruits are meant to be consumed alone, not in combination with any other fruit.
7. Many people love eating bananas and milk, but this combination will significantly slow down your digestion.
8. People usually add fruit to their bowl of yogurt for breakfast, but this combination will slow down your digestion and harm your intestinal flora. This especially goes for adding pineapple to your yogurt, which boosts the active ingredients that cause food poisoning.
9. Cucumbers and tomatoes are not compatible with each other and should never be consumed together. When they reach the stomach and the process of fermentation starts, the acid released in the abdominal cavity for digestion can cause numerous digestive problems.
9. Macaroni and meat. Macaroni are rich in starch, which has a different digestion time than protein, so the delay will lead to inevitable fermentation and further digestive problems. Macaroni and egg is a better combination.

Why Complex Cards are Best for Weight Loss
If you're working to lose weight, you've likely make an effort to strike carbohydrates from your meal and snack plans. Not so fast! While you're fully in the right to nix the simple carbs, understand that complex carbs can actually help you meet your weight loss goals faster and maintain them for longer.
Complex carbohydrates come from the starch and fiber in whole grains, legumes, potatoes and root vegetables. They take longer for the body to digest, which helps to keep you feeling feel fuller longer. As a result you're less likely to snack throughout the day or to overdo it at your next meal. Plus, complex carbs help stabilize your blood sugar and stave off that afternoon crash that can tempt you to sneak a sweet (and high-calorie) treat. This is because complex carbs typically have a lower glycemic load, which means that your system will release lower amounts of sugars at a more consistent rate rather than in peaks and valleys throughout the day.
Simple carbs, on the other hand,provide little or no nutritional value and are quickly digested, which can leave you feeling hungry again long before your next meal. They're found in certain fruits, milk, honey, table sugar, beer and white rice and pasta.
For quicker, more effective weight loss, choose complex carbohydrates when planning your meals and snacks. Peruse the recipe section of the Metabolic Research Center website and try the Quinoa Salad or Cauliflower Potato Mash for dinner tonight.If you need a little extra guidance, call 800-501-8090 to schedule a consultation with a weight loss specialist who can develop a custom nutrition and exercise plan tailored to your particular goals.
