GRABOVO, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine said a passenger plane carrying 295 people was shot down Thursday as it flew over the country, and both the government and the pro-Russia separatists fighting in the region denied any responsibility for downing the plane. As plumes of black smoke rose up near a rebel-held village of Grabovo in eastern Ukraine, an Associated Press journalist counted at least 22 bodies at the crash site 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the Russian border.

Bacon. I bet that got your attention. I’m about to deliver to you the best recipe ever! A new twist on the cinnamon roll. Cinnamon rolls are so amazing because it’s actually ok to eat them for breakfast. Add some bacon and maple syrup, even better! I apologize in advance for posting this right before bathing suit season, but live a little people! Just run an extra mile 😉 Enough talking (typing?) and let’s go…
Note: This is not an easy recipe and probably one of the hardest I’ve ever conquered. The end result is so delicious though, so if you have the time, believe in yourself and give it a try! Just read slowly and carefully before starting.
What you will need:
Greased 9×13 inch pan
For the dough:
1 package active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup scalded milk (heat in saucepan until just boiling)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsalted melted butter
1 teaspoon salt
3 – 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 lb. bacon
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter at room temperature
For the frosting:
1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
2 cups powdered sugar
4 tablespoons maple syrup
First, you need to cook the bacon. The bacon needs to be extra crispy. I just placed a few strips in the microwave, and cooked until dry and crispy. Or you can cook on the stovetop, however you normally make bacon. Once all the bacon is cooked, place on paper towel to soak up all the grease.
To make the dough:
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together scalded milk, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/3 cup melted butter, salt and egg. Add 1 1/2 cups of flour and mix to combine. Add yeast mixture and 1 more cup of flour and mix until you get a smooth, easy to handle dough, adding more flour as needed.
Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead about 5 minutes. Then, place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour.
While the dough is rising, place dried bacon in a food processor (if you have one) and pulse until you get bacon bits. Place bacon bits in a bowl and mix with 1/2 cup sugar, set aside. Tip: I do not have a food processor, so I put a few strips in a ziplock bag and banged it with a rolling pin. Hey, we do what we can 🙂
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the top with 1 tablespoon of butter. Cover that with the bacon/sugar mixture, leaving about 1/2 inch from the edge of the dough. Roll up, beginning with the long side. Cut into 12 sections (or rolls) and place each roll face up in a greased 9×13 inch pan. (see picture)
Once all the rolls are arranged in pan, allow to rise another 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Bake for 30 minutes and allow to cool.
To make the frosting:
While rolls are cooling, whip 1/2 cup butter until smooth. Sift in powdered sugar until well combined. Stir in maple syrup, tablespoon by tablespoon until everything is incorporated.
Frost the cooled rolls and enjoy!

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are an increasingly popular alternative to combustible tobacco cigarettes among smokers worldwide. A growing body of research indicates that flavours play a critical role in attracting and retaining smokers into the e-cigarette category, directly contributing to declining smoking rates and tobacco harm reduction. The responsible selection and inclusion levels of flavourings in e-liquids must be guided by toxicological principles. Some flavour ingredients, whether natural extracts or synthetic, are known allergens. In this study, we used the Genomic Allergen Rapid Detection (GARD) testing strategy to predict and compare the respiratory and skin sensitising potential of three experimental and two commercial e-liquids. These novel, myeloid cell-based assays use changes in the transcriptional profiles of genomic biomarkers that are collectively relevant for respiratory and skin sensitisation. Our initial results indicate that the GARD assays were able to differentiate and broadly classify e-liquids based on their sensitisation potential, which are defined mixtures. Further studies need to be conducted to assess whether and how these assays could be used for the screening and toxicological assessment of e-liquids to support product development and commercialisation.

|Morroco arrests Ramadan fast breakers|
A small group of Moroccan Muslims bravely attempted to protest the ban on public eating by "persons generally known as Muslim" during daylight during Ramadan. The law dates back to French colonial times and this was the first attempt at public protest, as far as anyone knows. Small wonder. The protesters were arrested and interrogated for several days, denounced by religious leaders, and then released to death threats and ostracism.
Apparently, Morocco's constitution guarantees freedom of conscience, but only for non-Muslims.

Avebe: utilise the whole of the potato
Avebe is an ambitious company that wants to utilise the whole of the potato. The first time that Bodec and Avebe worked together was back in 2008. Since then, Bodec and Avebe developed various new technologies and concepts that were converted into practical solutions. A recent success is the development of a process to extract a vegetable protein called Solanic.
In order to extract, concentrate and dry the natural proteins in non-GM potatoes, an entirely new process needed to be developed. The proteins had to be easily soluble, with good emulsifying, foaming and gel forming characteristics, so that they could be used in various food products, as a replacement for animal proteins.
Bodec conducted various experiments to find an efficient and optimal process to extract, concentrate and dry the potato proteins. These detailed, practical trials were supervised by Bodec engineers in Avebe’s own pilot plant.
Using these results, our experts were able to develop the entire process for Avebe. They selected the best technology and formulation for isolating and processing the protein. For some aspects, like the drying installation, we went the extra mile. We selected the various suppliers for these machines and our people helped with the construction of this installation.
The production line for extracting protein from potatoes is currently fully functional. Solanic is already being used on a large scale for vegetarian products and it turns out to be a good replacement for various high-quality animal proteins. As Solanic has a high content of essential and branch-chained amino acids, it can also be used as the base for a nutritional protein that can help people recover after surgery.

An article on the Smithsonian website, Brain Cells for Socializing, discusses Eco cells. (here)
“The von Economo neurons are the most striking finding of recent years in comparative brain research, in which scientists tease out fine differences among species. Neuroanatomist Patrick Hof and his colleagues at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in Manhattan first stumbled across the neurons in human brain specimens in 1995… Most neurons have cone- or star-shaped bodies with several branching projections, called dendrites, that receive signals from neighboring cells. But von Economo neurons are thin and elongated, with just one dendrite at each end. They are four times bigger than most other brain cells, and even in species that have the cells, they are rare…
The spinal shaped cells occur only in the anterior cingulate cortex and the frontal insula. About 100 mammals have been examined of the unusual cells but they are found only in great apes , elephants, humpback whales, sperm whales, fin whales, orcas and bottle-nosed dolphins. The common thread here is that these animals are (1) very social (2) with large brains. Whales and elephants, like people and great apes, have extremely large brains and a prolonged juvenile stage during which they learn from their elders.
In 1999, the scientists reported that all great ape species had von Economo cells, but lesser primates, such as macaques, lemurs and tarsiers, did not. That meant the neurons evolved in a common ancestor of all the great apes about 13 million years ago, after they diverged from other primates but well before the human and chimp lineages diverged about six million years ago…”
William Seeley, a neurologist at the University of California at San Francisco, studies a poorly understood neurodegenerative disease called frontotemporal dementia. Patients suffer a breakdown in their character, losing social graces and empathy, turning insensitive, erratic and irresponsible. Marriages and careers implode. Many patients seem to lack physical self-awareness: when diagnosed with other illnesses, they deny having any problems. Brain imaging studies of patients with the dementia have uncovered damage to frontal areas of the brain….Analyzing brains from deceased patients, the scientists discovered that, in fact, about 70 percent of von Economo neurons in the ACC had been destroyed, whereas neighboring brain cells were largely unaffected. “It is very clear that the original target of the disease is these cells, and when you destroy these cells you get the whole breakdown of social functioning,” says Allman. “That’s a really astounding result that speaks to the function of the cells about as clearly as anything can.”
It is possible that similar cells with a similar function occur in many social animals but that it is only in large brains where extra speed is required that they take on the distinctive spinal shape and large size.

This paper presents a novel approach for automatic generation control (AGC) as an integrated two-area thermal-hybrid power generation system (THPGS) where thermal generators are interconnected with various renewable power generators (RPGs) like a solar power generator (SPG), wind power generator (WPG), fuel cell, and aqua electrolyzer. A comparison is carried out between the THPGS and a normal thermal power system considering proportional integral and derivative controllers. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used for optimizing the gain parameters of the controller. Investigation of dynamic responses is carried out considering step load perturbation as well as random load perturbation (RLP). Problems are formulated considering the variation in SPG and WPG power output in the presence of RLP in area 1 and the change in generation of SPG and WPG power in both areas for analyzing system stability and robustness. The investigation proves that PSO-optimized controllers are so robust that it is not necessary to change the parameter values of the controllers for a wide variation in SPG and WPG output power. Thus, integration of RPGs in AGC is properly applied for investigating the dynamic behaviors of the system. All the simulation works are implemented in MATLAB/Simulink software.

Let’s see what makes Laos trekking experience in Attapeu more and more interesting? Laos is a friendly and beautiful “Land of a Million Elephant,” which has long been famous for pristine and scenic Laos trekking. The travel turns to be exciting and memorable much when you trek through the primitive jungle world, beautiful rivers, and ethnic houses. In particular, trekking in Attapeu provides the nice experiences recommended to all tourists.
Treeking in Attapeu Laos
Attapeu is a destination in the southeastern tip of Laos, being well-known for untamed nature, ethnic culture, and trekking trail. There, you find the intact world to trek through and stay friendly to Nature. The province is encompassed by Sekong to the north and Champasak to the west, Vietnam to the east, and Cambodia to the south. The ethnic diversity in Attapeu provides the interesting cultural scenes for the Western travelers to cherish via trekking in Laos hill tribes while the pristine trails help them fulfill the adventurous spirit and nature passion. With the rugged mountains, scenic valleys, and peaceful rivers, Attapeu is ideal for ecotourism as well as Laos Mountain Trekking.
Attapeu Trekking Tours with the off-the-beaten-track trails
The trekking tours in Attapeu in Laos can take place from one to five days and even more. The tourists can choose either the self-guided or the guided treks. The highlights of the remote trails include the dense jungle, captivating waterfalls, National Protected Areas, and ethnic communities or villages. The off-the-beaten-track trails bring you to the bustle-free world in which you become parts of Nature and almost forget the city stress. The nature-friendly and cultural experiences during the trails of trekking southern Laos are unique and memorable.
There are two eminent Waterfalls to see: Tad Phok and Tad Phaphong. With Tad Phok Waterfall, the trek begins from Ban Lanyao (the ethnic Oy village). And with Tad Phaphong Waterfall, it takes the 5-hour boat trip from Saysettha District. The trip is very scenic with many colorful rocks along the riversides, the water flowing over edges of the high cliff and dropping into the natural pool. The trek becomes worthy when the waterfall sceneries are present to the eyes. All life worries can be dissolved just like the foam, and then you become the happy version of yours. The happy self makes the travel successful and enjoyable.
Next, Ban Mai Village in Attapeu provides the best homestay experience that you might ever want in Laos. This village is situated on the corner of the important Xe Pian National Protected Area (NPA). As the NPA provides the pristine hills, forests, lakes, and waterfalls, all make up the picturesque landscapes around the ethnic houses. The overnight homestay gives authentic experiences in the local lifestyle, customs, and culture which are more authentic than anything that you see or read. In fact, the Ban Mai Village Homestay has been selected by many holidaymakers alike who enjoy the day-and-night trek in Attapeu. The local family meals and traditional Laos dinner will make you feel homelike and reluctant to leave on tomorrow morning.
Often, it is the 48km trail from Attapeu Town (the Samakhi Xai capital city) to Ban Mai, including the stopovers at Nonglom Lake (at the bottom of the Bolaven Plateau). This scenic Lake is the favorite picnic address for many backpackers, and it has been witnessing various stories of love and sadness as the local youth loves to have a picnic there. More interestingly, Nonglom Lake is the ideal place to enjoy bird watching such as giant ibis, crane, black ibis, white-winged duck, etc.
Then, the trek goes on toward the Xe Pian River in which you embark a long tail boat with a villager who guides you during the 1-hour cruise toward the waterfalls. After the inspiring boat trip, trek through the forest and farmland to arrive at Ban Mai Village. For the day trek, people will return to the city after the happy bathing in Xe Pian River and the family dinner with the local hosts. If you have not decided what to do in Laos yet, go trekking in Attapeu – the destination that is rich in the ethnic culture as well as the intact nature!
Some Laos Trekking Tips for Adventure Junkies
- Often drink water, even before you are thirsty to avoid the risk of dehydration.
- Bring the authentic Laos paper map and the compass, just in case your GPS fails or runs out of battery.
- Change the wet socks whenever you get a chance to prevent the blisters.
- Take a short break of 10 minutes every hour because this will help remove the metabolic waste in your legs during the hike.
- Have a high-quality rain jacket as this is one of the most critical items of clothing. Bring the one which is waterproof and breathable.
- Wool or fleece clothing is recommended. Do not wear cotton clothing because it does not dry and does not keep you warm in the rains.
- The first-aid kit is a must to have in the backpack, and remember to pack it for the easy access, in the outside pouch or in the upper compartment of the pack. As a result, you can get the kit easily in the urgent or emergency cases.
- Respect the hill tribe’s culture and costume. The guests are expected to mingle with the ethnic groups in a friendly and open-minded manner.
- Stay on the trail and do not harm Nature by all means.
Trekking southern Laos in Attapeu delivers one of the most authentic and memorable moments to hike through the intact and mountainous environment, as well as the hill-tribe villages. Each of the passing scenes of the waterfall, valley, mountain, ethnic village, etc., is the spectacular background that all adore. While parts of the world have been modernized with the skyscrapers and apartments, Laos remains so off-the-beaten-track and charming that the passionate trekkers want to discover and cherish. Right in Attapeu –Laos’ remote southern destination being rich in intact nature and ethnic diversity, you come to the correct trekking venue.

Marlon Samuels has made another reference to the partners of England cricket players, days after being slammed for an ugly remark about Ben Stokes’ wife.
Former West Indian batsman Samuels took to Instagram earlier this week to respond to comments made by Stokes, who said he wouldn’t wish spending 14 days in isolation on his “worst enemy”.

“It wasn’t the most enjoyable thing you ever have to do, I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy,” Stokes told the BBC. “I text my brother saying the same thing, and my brother asked, ‘You wouldn’t even do that to Marlon Samuels?’
“I said, ‘No, it’s that bad’, that’s how tough it was.”
“No white boy could diss me in the sports and no get back diss look at this b***h still thinking about me give me 14 days with you wife turn her into Jamaican in 14 seconds mate none of yall knows me that simple means it’s my f***ing superior skin tone yall hate f*** you,” Samuels wrote on Instagram on Tuesday.
Samuels and Stokes clashed on the cricket field as rivals, as did the West Indian and Shane Warne, who Samuels called a “b***h” as part of his tirade.
In clips shared to his Instagram story on Friday (AEDT), Samuels referenced an incident in 2008 involving billionaire Allen Stanford, who bankrolled a cricket tournament in the Caribbean called the Stanford Super Series.
England was playing a warm-up match against Middlesex when Stanford was caught on camera with his arms around two women, including former captain Alastair Cook’s partner, while the pregnant wife of wicketkeeper Matt Prior sat in his lap.
England players were reportedly furious about the scene, and Samuels filmed himself searching the clip on YouTube, which he then posted to social media.
“I will never forget you, Mr Stanford,” Samuels can be heard saying. “And I will never forget this day, all the English wives taking turns sitting in your lap.
“Why was this OK? Because he’s a billionaire? Mmm, interesting.”
Samuels laughed as he suggested Stanford looked happy “like at Christmas”.
Samuels also shared a screen shot of a comment from a Twitter user who said “my wife wouldn’t do that because of money or whatever reason”. Samuels captioned the photo: “Big Stanford real boss.”
RELATED: Cricket trickery creates chaos
Cricket great Michael Vaughan called Samuels’ attack on Stokes and his wife “appalling”, prompting Samuels to tell the former England skipper to “shut your f***ing mouth”, which he wrote on a screenshot of an article about Vaughan’s criticism.
On Wednesday, Samuels’ comments were brought to the attention of Warne, who hit back.
“I’ve just been sent what Samuels has posted re Ben Stokes & I. It’s a very sad situation as he obviously needs serious help —but has no friends at all & not even his ex teammates like him. Just because you were an ordinary cricketer-no need to be an ordinary person. Get help son,” Warne wrote on Twitter.
It wasn’t long before Samuels replied again.
“Ha ha I need help, is this coming from the first cricketer to do a face surgery to look young,” Samuels wrote on Instagram.
The rivalry between Stokes and Samuels was ignited during a Test series in 2015, when the West Indies batsman mocked the left-hander by saluting him following a dismissal.
The pair then butted heads again two years later during the unforgettable T20 World Cup Final, with a fierce argument erupting in the middle.
Samuels and Warne famously butted heads during a Big Bash League match in January 2013, when the leg-spinner accused the Jamaican of tugging on an opposition player’s shirt while running between the wickets.
At one point, Samuels threw his cricket bat in Warne’s direction, prompting the umpires to intervene.


This study investigated the fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior of selectively laser-melted AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel built in two directions. The effect of tempering treatment at 400 °C was considered. In both as-built and tempered conditions, the parallel orientation exhibited lower fatigue crack growth rates (FCGRs) than the perpendicular orientation, indicating an anisotropic FCG behavior. Tempering treatment moderately reduced the anisotropy of FCG behavior, as the difference in FCGR between the two build orientations decreased in the tempered state. The anisotropic FCG behavior was attributed to the interaction between the crack path and the elongated cellular structure. Tempered martensite had a greater influence on the FCGR of the perpendicular group over the parallel group in tempered state.

text: Feeding requires the integration of homeostatic drives with emotional states relevant to food procurement in potentially hostile environments. The ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) regulates feeding and anxiety, but how these are controlled in a concerted manner remains unclear. Using pharmacogenetic, optogenetic, and calcium imaging approaches with a battery of behavioral assays, we demonstrate that VMH steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1) neurons constitute a nutritionally sensitive switch, modulating the competing motivations of feeding and avoidance of potentially dangerous environments. Acute alteration of SF1 neuronal activity alters food intake via changes in appetite and feeding-related behaviors, including locomotion, exploration, anxiety, and valence. In turn, intrinsic SF1 neuron activity is low during feeding and increases with both feeding termination and stress. Our findings identify SF1 neurons as a key part of the neurocircuitry that controls both feeding and related affective states, giving potential insights into the relationship between disordered eating and stress-associated psychological disorders in humans.

When seeking logo design inspiration, it’s important to remember that while inspiration is valuable, it’s equally important to create a logo that is unique to your brand. Take elements that you find inspiring and use them to create something that represents your business effectively.
Whether you find inspiration through illustrations, branding, design creators, or templates, the key is to take that inspiration and make it your own. Your logo should be a reflection of your brand’s identity, so take the time to create something that is truly unique and represents your business in the best possible way.
Logo Design for Different Industries
When it comes to creating a logo for your business, it’s important to consider the industry you are in. A well-designed logo can help with brand recognition and leave a lasting impression on your customers. Here are some key industries and the type of logo design that works best for them:

Ever entered a good trade where everything met your trading rules, only to see a sudden price U-turn flush out your stop-loss before reversing back up? You’ve just witnessed market manipulation at play.
Unknown to 90% of retail traders, market makers can see the position of all trade orders and forcibly squeeze prices down to take out your stop-losses.
Market makers are big market players who have the financial muscle to fund sheer volumes of trades — even when there’s no ready buyer or seller. In doing so, they literally “make the market”.
As middle-men of all trades, market makers profit by falsifying supply and demand. By buying and selling high volumes of stocks, they have the power to “print” candlesticks to create sudden price hikes and plunges.
These are what the industry calls “bull and bear traps”, and it’s how the big boys make money off retail traders like us.
If price charts can be easily manipulated, how can we win?
Our biggest opportunity is not to go head-on against the big players, but to spot their intentions and trade alongside them. As the saying goes… “If you can’t beat them, join them!”
Look at this LMT chart from March 2021. Thinking the price would bounce off the 200 MA support, unsuspecting retail traders placed their stop-loss at $333.32 (at the low of the bullish green bar).
That’s where market makers set up a bear trap to hunt their stop-losses.
This is the first and only trading course in the world that teaches retail traders how to decode price manipulation by market makers and profit from it. Developed by former proprietary trader Alson Chew, the proven PAM™ strategy has generated over USD 1 million in trading profits.
Suitable for both seasoned and aspiring traders, PAM™ gives you the professional’s advantage to navigate deceptive market scenarios. You’ll learn the most practical, plug-and-play tactics that help you make a consistent trading income.
Learn from the Award-Winning Former Proprietary Trader Who Beats the SPX Every Year
As a full-time professional trader, Alson trades regularly using his own live capital and has over a million dollars committed in the markets. Below are the verified results from one of his 6-figure accounts. You can be assured that you’re learning from a true practitioner with skin in the game.
As a pro trader, Alson can decode any chart pattern in less than 10 seconds. Using his trademark prop desk strategy, you will learn to unravel all kinds of price charts into 3 standard bar patterns.
While other retail traders spend hours finding entry/exit points, you’ll see clear profit zones and secure the best prices week after week.
Want to stop losing money like 90% of retail traders? Then stop thinking and acting like one! With PAM™, you will learn to read the market makers’ every move and decipher their intentions with live price action.
Once you learn their secret accumulation and distribution process, you’ll know exactly when supply & demand is falsified and steer clear of money-sucking bull and bear traps like a pro.
Every trader needs an edge to win long-term in the markets. Gain yours by knowing when to enter/exit right alongside the market makers, while unsuspecting retail traders get ambushed by sudden price U-turns.
You’ll learn to make clear-cut, profitable decisions with the PAM™ Force Strike Bar Formation and Price Action Reversal strategies. Start making better returns than the typical retail trader!
Learn the most clear-cut way of reading charts by using the most honest indicator — price. No clutter, no lag, no ambiguity, no complex technical analysis, no black-box subscriptions.
With our swing trading strategy, you’ll only need to screen for setups twice a week. No more being glued to the screen every day ─ enjoy more time doing the things you love!
Never risk wiping out your account. Safeguard your profits and calculate your risk-reward and profit targets like a pro using the PAM™ Risk & Money Management Spreadsheet.
No more FOMO, panic-selling and other bad habits of retail traders. Be mentored by a true-blue professional and learn the mental models used by top-performing prop desk traders.

Lifting of the arms embargo on “foreign-sponsored Syrian militants” is yet another proof of the bloc’s double standards, reported Xinhua citing Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Salehi Thursday.
The remarks were made on the sidelines of an international conference on Syria Wednesday.
“The world’s public opinion will not accept the EU’s move to send weapons to terrorists (in Syria). This act originates from the arrogant nature of these countries and their logic of oppression,” said Salehi.
