Q: A transmitter radiates an EIRP of 1W into free space. A
receive antenna located at 1km from the transmitter has a gain of
5dBi. Assume that there are 2dB of system loss.
A. If the system operates at 900MHz, what is the power level at the output of the receive antenna terminals?
B. What is the power level at the output of the receive antenna terminals if the system operates at 1800MHz?
C. How does the received signal level vary between cases A and B?
Explain what physically causes the received power to be different in these two cases, even though all other parameters do not change.

My name is James Wilkinson and I am an independent theater artist that works in the greater Boston area. I started this blog as a way to help promote/discuss the work that's being done in the Boston theater community.
Here's my official bio:
James Wilkinson graduated from Trinity College (Hartford) in 2010. Post-college, he worked extensively on the North Shore in a variety of backstage capacities. In 2014, he co-founded Exiled Theatre with his partner-in-crime, Teri Incampo, and the two set about unleashing their theatrical sensibilities on the Boston theater community. As a director, James helmed Exiled’s productions of Ashes to Ashes, The Wasteland, and She Looks Good in Black. As a playwright, he wrote Exiled’s first production, Strange Days: five tales concerning dark paths, odd mercies and birthday cake and he wrote the most recent Exiled production, Nurse Play. Nurse Play was also nominated for a 2018 Independent Reviewers of New England (IRNE) award for Best New Play. His short plays have also been featured in the Boston Theater Marathon, Salem Theatre Company’s Moments of Play and Roxbury Repertory Theatre's Six Playwrights in Search of a Stage.

The first astronauts to walk on the moon in more than 50 years will wear spacesuits built with the latest 21st century technology, looking a little less bulky than the marshmallowy garments of the past.
But one relic that hasn’t changed in all that time: They’re still going to have to pee their
“We have not had a new suit since the suits that we designed for the Space Shuttle, and those suits are currently in use on the space station,” said Vanessa Wyche, NASA Johnson Space Center director. “So for 40 years, we’ve been using the same suit based on that technology.”
What exactly the moonsuits will look like is still cloaked in mystery, quite literally. The sample suit modeled during a press event at Space Center Houston’s Moon 2 Mars Festival was covered in a sleek

“The moon is definitely a hostile place, and the south pole is going to really be a challenge,” said Lara Kearney, NASA’s manager of extravehicular activity and human surface mobility. “A lot of thermal requirements.”

The new portable life support system, worn like a backpack, is more compact, thanks to smaller modern electronics and plumbing. This has allowed engineers to build
Bending and rotating at the hips should be easier, and hiking-style boots with flexible soles are expected to be less of a tripping hazard. The sizes should be a bit more customizable, with mix-and-match pieces to fit each astronaut’s limbs and torsos. A model demonstrated the less-rigid design by squatting, twisting, and even kneeling as an astronaut might on the lunar surface to pick up a rock or use a geology tool.
Another change will be how astronauts get into them. The suit has a hatch that swings open like a door, allowing the crew to shimmy through the back, down into the boots. A single person should be able to do this without help from other astronauts, an upgrade from suits in use right now on the International Space Station.
There’s something in the suit for all the people watching back on Earth as well. On the side of the suit is an HD video camera that should provide better quality home-viewing of moonwalks.
But underneath all of that new high-tech innovation is still essentially an adult-size Pampers. Astronauts try to “hold it,” but during an eight-hour moonwalk, extraterrestrial nature might call.
“If it’s not broken, don’t fix it,” Rallston told Mashable during the press conference. “We’re still using diapers in the spacesuits. They’re just honestly a very effective solution. Sometimes simplicity is best.”
“Sometimes simplicity is best.”
The crew for the mission has not been decided yet, but NASA intends to announce the astronauts aboard the preceding mission on April 3. Those astronauts — on Artemis II — will fly the Orion spacecraft around the moon but won’t land.

Your Dessert Dreams Have Been Answered
When two classic English sweets meet
In need of cooking inspiration? Look no further! Our inventive community creates fabulous recipes. If you have a favorite recipe you'd like to share, simply upload it to our app and don't forget to snap a photo!
Everyone knows that finding the right dessert for a party can be a challenge. If you’ve ever scrolled through the internet or (shameless plug) our app to find the right sweet treat to bring along on a summer picnic or simply wrap up a fun-filled evening with friends, you know how difficult it is to decide—there are so many options out there! But when you’re searching for something that doesn’t take too long to prepare and can serve a big crowd, look no further.
Our user fatima sameena sharif created her personal party dessert, adapting a recipe for banoffee pie, and turning it into our community recipe of the week: pineapple-toffee-trifle!
Pineapple toffee trifle
Why do we love this recipe?
At Kitchen Stories, we love to experiment with classic recipes and we encourage our users to explore their culinary creativity. Instead of rejecting a recipe because of its ingredients, try finding substitutes, and maybe you’ll create your new favorite recipe—like fatima’s trifle.
Juicy, tangy fruit meets smooth, rich cream, and crispy cookie layers—making this dessert an interesting and harmonious combination of tastes and textures.
The recipe is easy to make and an excellent choice, no matter if you want to feed 5 or 15 hungry guests around your dinner table. Plus, the leftovers make an excellent midnight snack.
Two classic British desserts
This recipe takes two classic British desserts, banoffee pie and trifle, and mixes them together. Banoffee (a portmanteau of banana and toffee) pie is made up of layers of banana, cream, and toffee over a cookie crumble base.
But, if you layer the dessert in a glass serving dish or bowl—you enter trifle territory. Trifles are british desserts that layer of fruit, cream, and sponge cake. Trifles are usually served in a pedastaled trifle bowl, but you can use any deep glass serving bowl or even individual glass dishes.
Our tips for making pineapple-toffee-trifle
Trifle can be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge without any problems, which can save some time during the party—allowing you to spend more time with your guests and avoid wasting away in the kitchen.
Do it like our user fatima sameena sharif and get creative to adapt this recipe to your taste. For instance, instead of using pineapple and strawberries, add your own favorite or in-season fruits. Use chocolate, oat, or any other cookies to give your dessert another personal note.

With a Netatmo Wind Gauge, you can know how strong the wind is at your house. The Netatmo Wind Gauge connects to your existing Netatmo Urban Weather Station (sold separately) and uses ultrasound technology to reliably and accurately measure wind speed and direction. The NWA01-WW has four ultrasonic transducers that emit continuous signals, and the Wind Gauge uses variations in these signals to measure the wind. The sensors are sensitive so it’s important to not touch them. With the Netatmo Weather app, you can set alerts to notify you when the wind reaches a certain speed – measured in either metres, kilometres, or miles per second. It can also measure wind speed in knots or Beaufort. Use the optional Wind and Rain Gauge Mount (sold separately) to help place the Netatmo Wind Gauge in the perfect position. You should install your wind gauge at the highest possible point, ideally 1m above your roof so there are no obstacles surrounding it. Track the weather with help from this Netatmo Wind Gauge.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the beneficial effect of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) as an immunosuppressive agent for experimental transplantation of hepatocytes in rats with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF).
Materials and methods: Six Wistar rats were used as donors and 40 Lewis rats at recipients, including four groups of 10 animals each. Group A received no treatment; Group B, cyclosporine (20 mg/kg days 0-5 and 10 mg/kg days 6-15); Group C, MMF (12 mg/kg per os every day); and Group D, MMF (23 mg/kg per os every day). Hepatocytes were transplanted intrasplenically. Animals were followed for 15 days.
Results: The survival rates for Group A were maximum 72 h, whereas Groups B, C, and D showed 50%, 70%, and 80%, respectively. Biochemical evaluation and histology showed satisfactory function and engraftment, respectively.
Conclusion: The use of MMF in this experimental model yielded safe, satisfactory immunosuppression especially at the dose of 23 mg/kg.

A critical illness can have a serious impact on both your own life and the lives of your children, spouse or partner. So it is important to ensure that you financially protect yourself and your family.
It’s easy to think that you’ll never be diagnosed with a critical illness, particularly when you feel healthy and energetic, but any one of us could fall ill with very little warning. It makes sense therefore to protect yourself and your family from the financial fallout as best you can.
According to research from Scottish Widows, a fifth of the population admit that their household would not be financially secure for any length of time if it lost its main income through unforeseen circumstances. And more than a third would resort to accessing their savings if they were unable to work. Despite this, however, only 32% of people have life insurance, and just one in ten have taken out critical illness cover.
During 2015 almost two thirds (63%) of all critical illness claims to Scottish Widows were due to cancer. They paid out almost £4.5 million in claims relating to prostate cancer, ovarian cancer and brain tumours during that year – some of the most commonly diagnosed conditions among middle-aged men and women.
Avoid having to borrow money as a result of critical illness
A report by Macmillan Cancer Support revealed that thousands of middle-aged people in the UK are being forced to borrow money from their parents because of the cost of having cancer. Macmillan estimates that more than 30,000 people with cancer in their 40s have borrowed money from their elderly parents, and more than 2,000 have moved in with their parents or parents-in-law after having to sell their house. The charity says that 28% of people with cancer of all age groups – an estimated 700,000 individuals – are vulnerable too because they have no savings to fall back on. And for 83% of cancer patients, lost income and increased expenditure brought about by the disease costs them an average of £570 a month.
Safeguard your financial future and well-being
It is important to take time to consider the arrangements or financial resources available to you for those ‘what if…’ and ‘how would we..’ scenarios to help ensure provision is in place to help you deal with the unexpected.
Critical illness cover pays out a tax-free lump sum if, during the term that you select, you are diagnosed with one of the specified conditions covered by the policy. It’s entirely up to you how you choose to spend the money, but you could use it to pay off your mortgage or other debts, maybe a holiday to help you recuperate, or for home modifications such as building ramps or widening doorways for wheelchair access.

My friend is feeling suicidal. What should I do?
The most important thing you can do is to encourage your friend to talk about what they’re going through – either to you, someone else they trust, a counselor, or a helpline. When they talk to you, be a good listener, and ask open-ended questions so they can fully explain what they’re going through. It’s important to make them feel understood and heard, and your responses should avoid casting judgment and promising a quick solution. It’s OK not to have all the answers as this is an emotionally complex topic. Try to guide your friend toward professional help – options include visiting a counselor or calling a helpline.

The 1951 novel The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger has had a lasting influence as it remains both a bestseller and a frequently challenged book. Numerous works in popular culture have referenced the novel. Factors contributing to the novel's mystique and impact include its portrayal of protagonist Holden Caulfield; its tone of sincerity; its themes of familial neglect, tension between teens and society, and rebellion; its previous banned status; and Salinger's reclusiveness.
The Catcher in the Rye has inspired "rewrites" which have been said to form their own genre. On the other hand, there are examples of similarities between the novel and other works that were not intended by their authors, which suggests that the novel is "present, at least spiritually, in ... any story line that involves quirky young people struggling to find their places in a society prone to reward conformity and condemn individuality."
While the novel is linked to several murders and murder attempts, it has been claimed that the novel's overall effect on society is "far more positive than negative."
The novel also helped popularize the slang verb "screw up".
From the late 2000s, there has been a discussion of depression as exhibited in Holden Caulfield.
The best-known event associated with The Catcher in the Rye is arguably Mark David Chapman's murder of John Lennon. Chapman identified with the novel's narrator to the extent that he wanted to change his name to Holden Caulfield. On the night he shot Lennon, Chapman was found with a copy of the book in which he had written "This is my statement" and signed Holden's name. Later, he read a passage from the novel to address the court during his sentencing. Daniel Stashower speculated that Chapman had wanted Lennon's innocence to be preserved by death, inspired by Holden's wish to preserve children's innocence despite Holden's later realization that children should be left alone.
After John Hinckley Jr.'s assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan in 1981, police found The Catcher in the Rye in his hotel room. Hinckley later admitted to being an admirer of Chapman and studying his attempt on John Lennon. Hinckley's possession of the novel was later dismissed as an influence, as a half dozen various other types of books were also discovered in his possession.
Although Salinger had refused a film adaptation, many Hollywood films have based characters on Holden Caulfield. Holden has been identified as "one of the most reproduced characters on film." Furthermore, many such films reference each other.
- In The Collector (1965), which is based on the John Fowles novel, Clegg cannot understand why Miranda likes The Catcher in the Rye.
- In the 1990 play and 1993 film Six Degrees of Separation, the impostor Paul gives an analysis on the novel in a monologue. According to him, the novel, a "manifesto of hate" against phonies, would have been the excuse or defense for Chapman and Hinckley's shootings.
- In Conspiracy Theory (1997), Mel Gibson's character is programmed to buy the novel whenever he sees it, though he never actually reads it.
- Chasing Holden (2001) is named after Holden Caulfield. The protagonist Neil relates his life to Holden's, skips class to go to New York City, goes on a road trip to New Hampshire to find Salinger, and contemplates killing Salinger.
- Screenwriter Mike White regards the novel as "part of a literary trend that goes back to Goethe's The Sorrows of Werther (1774) ... I don't think Salinger discovered it. He just did the quintessential American version." He thought the influence of the novel may rise in Hollywood, and two of his 2002 films reflect this. In Orange County, protagonist Shaun searches for the professor who wrote the book that changed his life.
- In The Good Girl, protagonist Thomas Worther calls himself Holden and is seen reading the novel.
- Igby Goes Down (2002), originally intended to be a novel, has been interpreted as being inspired by The Catcher in the Rye, but director and screenwriter Burr Steers said it is not a direct influence and the story is more of an autobiography. On the influence of the book, Steers "liken[s] it to being a musician and being influenced by the music ingrained in you, like the Beatles."
- The Catcher in the Rye deeply influenced the 2017 biographical drama film Rebel in the Rye, which is about Salinger. It is a visual about his life, before and after World War II, and gives more about the author's life than the readers of The Catcher in the Rye learned from the novel.
- In Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's The Shining, the protagonists, Wendy and her son Danny, are introduced sitting at a kitchenette, with Wendy smoking and reading The Catcher in the Rye as they eat white-bread sandwiches and Danny watches TV.
- In the 2019 anime film Weathering with You the protagonist Hodaka Morishima reads The Catcher in the Rye and has themes about it.
- The main plot for the Japanese anime television series Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (2002) hinges on elements from The Catcher in the Rye from which a character uses a digital logo representing Holden Caulfield, and the quote "I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes." These themes and some additional quotes are also expressed in Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG (2004), although the characters and plot have changed.
- South Park episode "The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs" (2010) makes particular reference to The Catcher in the Rye and shows that its once-controversial use of vocabulary has no impact among young readers nowadays, and pokes fun at literary critics reading deeper meaning into books. It also references its connection towards the series of high-profile assassination attempts in the 1980s, with character Butters Stotch expressing a desire to kill John Lennon after reading the book until his father tells him that Lennon was already killed.
- In an episode of Family Guy, supporting character Glenn Quagmire launches into a tirade regarding reasons he doesn't like main character, Brian Griffin. One such reason is that he believes that Brian is the sort to lecture a woman with a primitive interpretation of The Catcher in the Rye and how Holden Caulfield is "some profound intellectual", while Quagmire actually perceives Caulfield as a "spoilt brat". Quagmire then goes on to compare Brian to Caulfield, believing that the reason Brian tries to paint Caulfield in a positive light is because Caulfield is quite similar to Brian himself.
- In 2017 the Criminal Minds episode "False Flag" (S13: E9) was based around Catcher in the Rye, a book important to members of the Truther’s community in Roswell, New Mexico.
The Catcher in the Rye has had significant cultural influence, and works inspired by the novel have been said to form their own genre. Sarah Graham assessed works influenced by The Catcher in the Rye to include the novels Less than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis, The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, A Complicated Kindness by Miriam Toews, The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, Ordinary People by Judith Guest, and the film Igby Goes Down by Burr Steers.
- John Fowles's 1963 novel The Collector uses The Catcher in the Rye as "one of the most brilliant examples of adolescence" in popular culture, possibly under a moral light. In it, Miranda encourages her kidnapper Clegg to read Catcher, thinking he might relate to Holden's alienation. However, Clegg finds Holden's actions unrealistic given Holden's wealth and status, and "[doesn't] see much point in it." In the film adaptation of The Collector, this conversation and Clegg's attitude toward the novel and popular culture is subdued. The novel has itself been linked to several serial killers.
- Alberto Fuguet's first novel Mala onda (Bad Vibes, 1991), which is set in Santiago, Chile three months before the John Lennon assassination, references The Catcher in the Rye extensively. Like Holden, Matías Vicuña (the 17-year-old narrator and protagonist of the novel) is a cynical, alienated, upper-class teenager who feels fed-up with the blandness of his friends and family. After reading Salinger's book, Matías feels a special connection with Holden. He attempts to replicate Holden's self-inflicted isolation by fleeing home and locking himself up in a hotel room, and he even purchases a red hunting hat to complete the persona.
- Lawrence Block wrote a novel called Burglar in the Rye (1999) in his series on burglar Bernie Rhodenbarr. The plot focuses on an auction of a reclusive writer's letters, and Bernie works to track down the character based on J. D. Salinger.
- In Galt Niederhoffer's novel A Taxonomy of Barnacles (2005), Bridget and Billy think about Holden's question as to the whereabouts of ducks during winter.
- John David California wrote 60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye (2009), an unauthorized sequel in which seventy-six-year-old Holden escapes a retirement home for a journey in New York.
- In Stephen King's novel Finders Keepers, a reclusive author is murdered by an obsessed fan who steals a trunkful of unpublished writings, reminiscent of the (unfounded) belief that Salinger had never stopped writing.
Comic strips and magazines
- The Frazz character Caulfield is named after Holden.
- In issue #4 of the Marvel Comics character Daredevil's story arc Guardian Devil, Bullseye the villain quotes Catcher in the Rye during the fight with Daredevil.
- The Ataris' song "If You Really Want to Hear About It" from their album End is Forever takes its title from the novel's opening sentence. The final lines paraphrase those of the book with "Don't ever tell anyone anything or else you'll wind up missing everybody." Several other specific references are made within the lyrics.
- Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" mentions the novel as a historic item of note during his lifetime.
- Green Day's "Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?" from their album Kerplunk (1991) is named after and is about the novel's main character, Holden Caulfield. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong recalled being forced to read the novel in high school and despising it. He later reread it as an adult, because it was seen as "punk rock".
- Screeching Weasel's "I Wrote Holden Caulfield" from their album How to Make Enemies and Irritate People is named after the novel's main character, Holden Caulfield and written in response to Green Day's "Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?".
- Pencey Prep was a band from New Jersey formed by Frank Iero. The name of the band is a reference to the school Holden Caulfield goes to in the book, Pencey Prep.
- SLATE.’s song “catcher in the rye.” from his 2021 2-track single “STATIC chiffon.” deals with similar themes of loneliness and modern social isolation. It also takes its own spin on Holden’s dream of being the catcher in the rye by saving kids from jumping off the cliff to their death.
- Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy album contains a song titled "Catcher In The Rye".
- The original demo version of "Dead Mom" from Beetlejuice (musical) includes the line, "This carousel of painted ponies spins around filled up with phonies," a reference to the carousel in the penultimate chapter and Holden's disdain for phonies.
- In the music video for the 2018-song Play It Cool by Girli a guy can be seen reading the novel.
- Life Is Strange – The main protagonist of the game Max Caulfield is named after Holden Caulfield. She also owns a poster resembling the original cover of The Catcher in the Rye.

A Trussville resident early Monday morning allegedly exchanged gunfire with a suspicious person.
Trussville Police Department Lt. Jeff Bridges said a resident was preparing to leave for work at about 2:20 a.m. Monday when he saw two black males in a dark sedan up the street in the 400 block of Nichols Way in downtown Trussville.
Bridges said the man apparently felt uneasy about it and retrieved his handgun because Nichols Way is a dead-end street and the car would have to turn around and come back.
Bridges said the resident said that one shot was allegedly fired toward him from the dark sedan. He then allegedly fired one back, Bridges said.
Bridges said the dark sedan has not been located and no evidence of gunfire has been found in the area.

Farrar Straus Giroux,
Translated by Margaret Sayers Peden During a long, lingering lunch at the Automobile Club de France, the elderly Comte de Branly tells a story to a friend, unnamed until the closing pages, who is in fact the first-person narrator of the novel. Branly's story is of a family named Heredia: Hugo, a noted Mexican archaeologist, and his young son, Victor, whom Branly met in Cuernavaca and who became his house guest in Paris. There they are gradually drawn into a mysterious connection with the French Victor Heredia and his son, known as Andre. There is a hard-edged emphasis on the theme of relations between the Old World and the New, as Branly's twilit, Proustian existence is invaded and overcome by the hot, chaotic, and baroque proliferation of the Caribbean jungle.

Five county employees get raises
NEW CUMBERLAND – Hancock County commissioners on Thursday gave raises to several employees in the tax office and the sheriff’s department.
The raises of $100 a month for five employees were made possible by a reorganization recommended by Hancock County Sheriff Ralph Fletcher.
The sheriff’s department recently filled a vacancy for a records clerk by hiring one of the tax deputies, Fletcher said. The vacancy was created when former records clerk Beth Vaughan took the position of administrative assistant.
Rather than make the records clerk a full-time position, Fletcher said he decided to make that person a “floater” who also would work in the tax office. The raises will come from a portion of the salary saved by not filling the tax office vacancy, he said.
What’s more, the raises will rectify an inequity in the base pay of the tax office staff, the records clerk and the sheriff’s department receptionist – compared to other clerk jobs in the courthouse, Fletcher said.
Also Thursday, commissioners:
Agreed to solicit construction bids for the renovation of the 1968 courthouse annex roof. The project entails replacing the roof, insulation and coping on the annex.
Funding will come from a $97,600 grant from the West Virginia Courthouse Facilities Improvement Authority and a 20 percent match from commissioners.
Project architects are LBRA Architecture of Weirton. Work is expected to be done sometime this fall.
Accepted the resignation of Gus “Chuck” Svokas as staff member for the Hancock County Abandoned Building Ordinance Committee. Svokas retired in 2012 as county economic development coordinator but stayed on as a paid consultant to work with the committee.
Commissioners tabled action on finding Svokas’ replacement, who would be responsible for duties such as taking committee meeting minutes, investigating abandoned building complaints and researching courthouse records.
Approved a request for Special Projects Fund money to replace the Hancock County Dog Warden vehicle, which recently was totaled in an accident. The county has a quote from Hancock County Chrysler for a 2014 Dodge Ram cargo van, which has ample space for cages and tools, said Robert Vidas, executive director of the county’s Office of Technology and Communications.
Authorized Vidas to advertise the sale of an “extensive list” of county-owned vehicles. Vidas will set minimum values on the vehicles and advertise them for sale either through closed bids or public auction, depending on the value.

Giving Point and Alpharetta High School join together to teach students about environmental stewardship
Grantee: Giving Point– Atlanta, GA
Project Title: Our Youth, Our Environment, Our Planet
Grant Type: ecoSolution
Description: The “Our Youth, Our Environment, Our Planet” project was born from a partnership between GivingPoint and Alpharetta High School in Roswell, GA to address a critical need to provide at-risk, disabled and special needs teens with an outdoor working classroom where they can learn about environmental stewardship, nutrition, conservation and have a quiet place of solace. Through a grant from Captain Planet Foundation, students & volunteers created a multi-layered walking trail on 15,000 square feet of land, designed for wheelchair and non-wheelchair bound children. Over 2,000 individuals have benefited from this project.
Within one year, GivingPoint and Alpharetta High School are expecting hundreds of volunteer from the Alpharetta area to volunteer nearly 2,000 hours of meaningful community service. The time and energy that youth volunteers put into the project will be documented on MyGivingPoint.org.

While many of us enjoy a cup of coffee every morning, adding milk and sugar may actually dilute its health benefits. Black coffee, without any additives, contains antioxidants that can offer significant advantages for our health.
Nutritionists often advise avoiding milk, sugar, or cream in coffee, especially for those on a diet. The antioxidants present in coffee have been shown to have positive effects on various health conditions.
The caffeine in coffee acts as a natural stimulant, helping to wake us up and improve attention and reaction time. When consumed without sugar, caffeine provides a sustained sense of energy and well-being throughout the day.
Coffee has also been found to protect against diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Scientific studies have shown that coffee, with its chlorogenic acid and caffeine content, has preventive properties for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Additionally, coffee’s high antioxidant levels can support liver function and protect the heart from potential damage.
By embracing the natural bitterness of black coffee and avoiding milk, sugar, or cream, we can fully harness its antioxidant benefits. So, the next time you make a cup of coffee, consider savoring it in its purest form and appreciating the positive impact it can have on your overall well-being.

Creating a living space you love to be in, surrounded by plants and products from a locally-owned business?
That’s what we call a win-win situation.
That’s what’s on offer at The Palms in Aeroglen, one of our favourite retail-cafe spots in Cairns.
We sat down with Jacqui Barber and Teagan Lloyds from The Palms to get some insider tips on the trends shaping tropical living.
Is there more to just placing a plant next to a window or on the kitchen bench?
Of course there is!
Up your plant styling game by adding dimension, height, texture and colour to your plants.
This can easily be done using pots in a variety of colours and materials, beautiful tall planters and plant stands, and furniture pieces like stools, side tables or repurposed items from around your home.
Stamp your creative flair on your plant styling.
Grouping plants together with different foliage and on varying levels is another way to make your space pop.
Not only is it a fun exercise to find the most visually appealing combos, it can be helpful with future plant care and makes great mini-ecosystems for your plant babies.
BACK TO NATURE
We’re tied to our natural environment both spirituality and physically.
Bringing pieces into your home that represent this environment only helps to create a more soulful abode.
The interior trend for natural, raw finish and light timbers, rattan and cane furniture and soft furnishing fibres like jute, linen and seagrass will continue well into the new year.
Using luscious indoor plants and spectacular real and dried floral arrangements is another way to breathe life and wellness into your space.
This could be experiencing a beautiful jute rug underfoot, admiring your gorgeous plant in a decorative cane planter or woven seagrass basket, or relaxing in undeniably soft linen sheets.
This year has made us re-evaluate so many things in our lives and for some it has pushed us to make more conscious decisions about the way we want to live.
Shopping locally for your interior styling and gift needs has so many wonderful benefits.
Hunting for beautifully curated pieces in your local stores will ensure your home has something unique to say about you.
Not only will you receive compliments from your nearest and dearest about your gorgeous purchases, you can rest assured that a limited number of people own the same item.
Spreading your shopping love to local businesses helps your community thrive and encourages shop owners to continue sourcing beautifully distinctive products for you.
LOOK AT ME
Splurge a little and get yourself statement pieces to make your home sparkle.
Nothing beats bringing home a coveted item that you can admire for its beauty, quality and design every day.
Why not make your statement piece a living thing?!
We recommend using statement plants to help transform your space and set the overall tone for the room.
Large plants in the indoor tree category like fiddle leaf figs (ficus lyrata), rubber plants (ficus elastic), palms and giant monstera are very effective at bringing the wow factor.
Smaller plants with incredible cascading foliage can also do an excellent job when perched on a shelf or hung high.
It's Getting Hot in Here
Care tips for tending to your plant babies during summer:
- Water often
Plants dry out faster in the hotter months, make sure you give them a good drink when they feel dry. Too long without a drink will cause stress to your plant and affect its foliage.
- Check the sun
As the sun’s rays intensify, relocate any plants that may burn if exposed to long periods of direct sunlight.
- Warmer is best
Freezing cold temps are not good for indoor plants. Our tropical climate is perfect for many plants, so reconsider blasting the A/C.
Remember to feed your plants quality plant food and they will reward you with beautiful new growth.
IN PROFILE: THE PALMS
Come leaf your worries at the door in this beautiful urban sanctuary.
The Palms offers a place to escape the daily grind surrounded by luscious indoor plants, gorgeous planters and baskets, and bespoke homewares and furniture pieces.
Serving you delicious premium coffees, speciality lattes and a selection of sweet and savoury treats, you can truly relax amongst the good vibes.
Set to celebrate their first birthday in business soon, sisters Jacqui Barber and Teagan Lloyds have been sharing their love of plants and beautiful things with the region in their Aeroglen shop, online store and across the socials.
They’re passionate about bringing life indoors to make every space feel like home.
The Palms’ strong focus on serving top notch espresso has created a loyal following with coffee lovers.

Jason Isbell On World Cafe
Originally published on Mon June 30, 2014 12:40 pm
Soulful roots-rock singer Jason Isbell has been writing revealing, introspective songs since his days in the Southern rock band Drive-By Truckers. After leaving the group in 2007, Isbell went on to record a string of studio albums with and without his new band, The 400 Unit. His hit "Alabama Pines" won Song of the Year honors at the 2012 Americana Music Awards.
Behind his success and prolific output, though, things weren't right in Isbell's personal life: He was alone and fighting a battle against alcoholism. But with the arrival of his newest album, Southeastern, things have changed considerably; he's sobered up and married his longtime girlfriend, singer and fiddler Amanda Shires.
Thursday's edition of World Cafe features the duo — plus The 400 Unit — performing tracks from both Isbell's album and Shires' new record, Down Fell the Doves. The showcase also features an intimate conversation about the positive and negative changes the couple has faced together.
This episode was re-aired on June 30, 2014.

Country's defence key, says coach
A determined effort on defence was the key to Southland Country's victory over their Metro counterparts in Balfour on Saturday, according to winning coach Jeff Clearwater.
Southland Country notched a 10-7 victory in a gritty display from both teams in their first clash in the South Island divisional rugby series.
Scoring didn't get underway until the dying minutes of the second half, after strong defence kept scoring opportunities to a minimum after kick off.
Country wing Rhys Lamont broke that deadlock to give the home side a 5-0 advantage at halftime.
Metro got points on the board in the early stages of the second half with a try to lock Bubba Lauese. Calvary Fonoti's conversion gave the visitors the lead, which they held until midway through the second stanza.
Country then worked a backline shift from halfway that saw halfback Blake Fairburn crash over and regain the lead for his side at 10-7.
Neither team could add to their tallies before the final whistle blew and the Balfour crowd erupted with cheers.
Winning coach Jeff Clearwater credited his players' work as a team on defence as the key to the victory.
"Our effort on defence was outstanding today. It was probably the difference [between the two sides]," he said.
The "link play of the inside backs" was another highlight of Country's performance. Second five-eighth Neil Warnock had a particularly strong game, Clearwater said.
Amongst the forwards, the Country scrum was pleasing, Clearwater said.
"Our scrum was good today too, there were times when we were almost pushing too hard on our own ball," he said.
Metro co-coach Mal Dermody was pleased with aspects of his sides play but said his team had "plenty to work on."
"We did alright considering we didn't have hardly any of the ball. We just didn't play as a team and Country did," he said.
Like Clearwater, Dermody was impressed with his team's defensive effort. "Our defence was superb considering all of the ball Country had," he said.
Offensively the team "didn't gel" but that improvement could be seen in upcoming games.
"We've got a decent season, we've got another five or six games and I'm sure we'll be back," he said.

Yeah, so sometimes I think I’m out of stuff to say about writing. When I keep hearing the line from Ani DiFranco’s Outta Me, Onto You going through my head, “You know there isn’t much I have to say, I would rather just shut up and do…” it usually means its time to ignore everything except working on the next project. I often feel that everything that can be said about writing has already been said about a bajillion times by other folks. But then I start to see some of the same old sayings floating around and it turns out that some of those things either need to be repeated or argued against.
I think the people giving the advice mean well but that it can fall short of being useful. I don’t think that when folks dispense writing advice that the intention is to steer new writers in a bad direction, but who knows. A lot of these are phrases that only have useful meaning after you’ve been doing this for a while.
That said, I have a big problem with the idea that if someone isn’t upset by your writing then you aren’t doing your job. It lends itself to the message that all writing is necessarily antagonistic and that antagonism should be the goal. I also don’t think that the level of anger in your readers is good barometer for your work. While it is true that anything, and I do mean ANYTHING, that is created by an artist and then comes into contact with the public has the potential to cause drama, discomfort and in some cases, rage, I don’t think antagonism is the point of writing. It can be for some. I think it is essential for certain kinds of expression (punk comes to mind) but with fiction I think writers can get lost in writing with the express purpose of being antagonistic. If that’s your voice as an author, then great, but I think maybe telling everyone that their work must be intentionally fight-inducing or it has no value is kind of a crappy thing to do. Particularly for new writers who haven’t figured out what they want to achieve with their writing yet.
The same is true about shock-value but I’ve also seen advice moving in the opposite direction, that to me seems equally bad. The old, “You shouldn’t write just for shock value,” bull.
Here’s the thing. Some authors will be interested in writing about subjects that are shocking. And that’s okay. It has to be okay. WE ALL GET TO TRY DIFFERENT THINGS. Sometimes the work might be shocking or antagonistic. All of it is fine. But my point is that neither shock value nor antagonism is the measure of a good work. The measure, for the artist, should be whether or not your finished draft told a good story and accomplished what you set out to do. But advising people to write in order to make certain that they do shock or don’t shock an audience seems crazy to me. It is also something that is based on taste, and everyone knows that taste is arbitrary. Some folks like to read shocking, antagonistic work. Some like to steer clear of things that make them uncomfortable. That’s for the reader to decide. The reader doesn’t get to decide that about your work until it is finished and available for reading. (Also need to point out that what is shocking to one person barely registers on the freak-out radar for others.)
My answering advice is write what interests you regardless of its level of antagonism or shock value.
I could keep poking at that one, but I think that when you receive free advice from any source, think it through before you pick it up and run with it.
What about everyone out there in the blogosphere? What’s some writing advice that rubs you the wrong way?

European heating oil premiums advanced as Vitol Group bought on the barge market. Gasoline for loading in northwest Europe fell to the lowest in almost six months.
BP Plc sold jet fuel on the barge market. Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Royal Vopak NV and Greenergy International Ltd. have jointly bid to convert the Coryton oil refinery in the U.K. to a storage terminal, according to a union spokesman.
Gasoline barges for immediate loading in Amsterdam- Rotterdam-Antwerp traded from $910 to $917 a metric ton, according to a survey of brokers and traders monitoring the Argus Bulletin Board. That’s down from yesterday’s deals at $940 and $942 a ton and is the lowest since Dec. 21, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
OAO Lukoil’s Litasco sold the Eurobob grade, to which ethanol is added to make finished fuel, for a third day. Royal Dutch Shell Plc bought for a second day on the barge market where lots are typically of 1,000 tons or 2,000 tons.
Gasoline’s premium to Brent was little changed at $10.55 a barrel as of 1:34 p.m. local time, according to data from PVM Oil Associates Ltd., a broker in London.
Naphtha’s discount to Brent widened to $14.65 a barrel from $13.83 in the previous session, PVM data show. That’s the most since Nov. 14.
PetroChina Co. sold two barges of heating oil at a premium of $8 a ton to July gasoil on the ICE Futures Europe exchange in London, according to a similar survey of the Platts pricing window. That compares with a deal yesterday at parity to the June contract.
The low-sulfur grade traded at $17 a ton more than the July contract on the barge market, the survey showed. Vitol sold 8,000 tons of the product to BP.
Shell and Vitol bought jet fuel barges at premiums of $59 and $63 to July gasoil, according to the Platts survey. That compares with a deal yesterday at $60.
On diesel, 20,000 tons changed hands on the barge market at premiums from $19 to $24 to July gasoil, the survey showed. Yesterday, the product traded at $20 more than gasoil. Vitol and Morgan Stanley were the largest buyers with Litasco and Statoil ASA the main sellers.
Gasoil for July delivery fell 0.2 percent to $844 a ton as of 5:17 p.m. local time on the ICE exchange. The August contract was at $844.25 a ton.
The June contract expired today at midday London time at $856.25 a ton with a delivery of 196,500 tons, according to data on Intercontinental Exchange Inc.’s website. That compares with 403,400 tons in May and 251,600 tons in June last year.
The number of deliveries for low-sulfur gasoil rose to 94,100 tons, compared with 8,100 tons in May. That’s the most since it started trading last year.
Gasoil’s crack, a measure of refining profitability, surged 93 cents cents to $16.23 a barrel. Brent dropped 0.8 percent to $97.18 a barrel.
High-sulfur fuel oil traded at $571 to $575.50 a ton, the survey of Platts showed. That compares with $566 to $572 yesterday. The low-sulfur grade changed hands from $610 to $610.25 a ton.
Shell, Vopak and Greenergy have offered to convert the Coryton plant to storage, Russ Ball, an official at Unite, the U.K.’s largest labor union whose members include workers at the refinery, said today by phone from Basildon, England.
Shell, Vopak and Greenergy declined to comment on the matter when contacted today.

A woman's touch makes men take more risks with money, psychologists reveal
It is a problem that has perplexed many a woman buying that must-have pair of
shoes – how to justify the splurge to her husband.
Now, scientists have the answer – all she need do is gently pat him on the back.
Research shows a woman’s touch makes people more likely to take financial gambles and more accepting when others take risks.
Men were more likely to risk money in an experiment if they were greeted with a pat on the back from a woman
The U.S. and Canadian researchers asked a group of students to play a financial game in which they were given a choice of making a ‘safe’ investment in a bond which would pay a fixed rate of interest, or a ‘risky’ investment in shares.
On arrival, some were met with a handshake, others with a pat on the back, while the rest were simply nodded through.
Shaking hands or being patted by a man did not affect the amount the
students gambled on shares, the journal Psychological Science reports.
But a woman’s touch had a clear effect. Those that were met with a
handshake put twice as much into shares as those just given a nod,
while a pat on the back trebled the investment.
Even the briefest contact – a one second touch on the shoulder – led to more money being risked on the stock market.
The study suggests the phenomenon has its roots in the first months
of life. As babies and toddlers we receive a lot of touch from our
mothers, creating a sense of attachment, making the infant feel secure
and fostering a sense of adventure.
The findings suggest that women can make their husbands, bosses and
bank managers loosen the purse strings simply by lightness of touch.
The study’s authors said: ‘The results suggest subtle physical contact can be strongly
influential in decision making and the willingness to accept risk.’

Earlier we informed you about the cancelling of the promotional shoot with Kapil Sharma for Ajay Devgan’s next ‘Baadshaho’ and the latter left the studio in extreme anger as the comedian cum actor Kapil didn’t turn up to meet the star cast including Ileana D’cruze and Emran Hashmi.
But if sources to be believed there is an all different story about the matter. Recently, Ajay Devgan not only ruled off the claims that he left from the sets of the comedy show furiously but also confirmed that he is not at all angry with the host (Kapil Sharma) of the show.
As per the speculations making rounds, the reason behind the cancellations was either Sharma’s health issue or it could be the late night party after which Kapil was not able to come up in the morning for the shoot, but the same has not been clarified yet.
On the other hand, Ajay Devgan confessed that he was upset about the cancellation of the shoot but without knowing the exact reason behind it, he can’t admit whether he is angry or not. In fact, he blamed the media for these rumours around the story.
We hope that Kapil comes back to his shape and take his relation with celebs seriously. Kapil Sharma will be next seen as lead in his upcoming project titled ‘Firangi’ while Ajay Devgan is busy for Milan Luthria’s Baadshaho.

Just a few games i thought i outta review

I don't usually write reviews about new games, but after completing this game fairly recently these thoughts have been circulating around my head, so prepare yourself for a more serious review than the other games on this page.

I'm going to be completely honest, I have never played an Animal Crossing game before (until this game came out) and the reason isn't because I had no interest in it or didn't have the money, but simply because I was just like 'meh' to it since I didn't understand it.
When I was a kid, I used to love the idea of customisation in the digital world, anything you could edit seemed like an amazing idea that few games did but all that was available at the time to me was the...Read Full Post »

This section might as well be devoted to all the games in the series, but 1, I don't want to drag on about all 7 current games (ignoring the Wii U's which is coming out very soon no doubt), and 2, I haven't exactly played them all yet. Some day though...

Back in 2006, I bought a Nintendo 64 offline (with help from our neighbour) because I really wanted to own 1 as I felt like I missed out on that generation, seeing as I was about 3 when it came out (and was expensive!). After being absolutely mesmerised with Super Mario 64, I decided to buy some more games, and ended up with Pokémon stadium and Banjo Kazooie, of which I didn't really play much!

First of all, why oh why did Europe rename the game to 'Adventure'? Whta's wrong with the US name for it!
Well, to be fair, it's kind of both, but seeing how BIG this game feels, calling it an attack seems like it could be a war game, or RPG, which it is definately not... I'm not trying to defend Europes choice of the title, i'm just throwing that explanation of a 'maybe this is why' out there.

Ahead of 1017 ALYX 9SM‘s FW20 runway show at Paris Fashion week, brand head Matthew M Williams has taken to his Instagram to tease four upcoming Air Force 1 High collaborations. First revealed by way of mock-up images posted by both Williams and ALYX back in October 2018, the luxurious high-tops are set to make an official debut tomorrow in a quartet of classically styled colorways.
Crafted from premium tumbled leather, Williams’s Air Force 1s are presented in all white, all black, black with a white Swoosh and white with a black Swoosh, strap and midsole. Signature ALYX detailing arrives on the proprioceptus belt by way of the brand’s signature buckle with silver or gold tooling. This is accented further by gold or silver foil stamps on the lateral heel counter.
Williams first debuted this technical-yet-practical design at 2018’s HYPEFEST. Limited pairs have popped up since then — which typically resell for four-figure sums — but this marks the collaboration’s full arrival. Of course, the designer is no stranger to working with Nike, as he’s created everything from co-branded apparel collections to Vapor Street Flyknits and several iterations of the technical Free TR SP 3. However, this marks a new, less tech-focused lane of collaboration for the two partners.
Get a detailed look at each colorway right here and expect a limited release at ALYX’s Paris pop-up located at 12-14 Rue Lechevin, 75011 from 12PM-7PM on January 16.

Volunteers fill buckets with oil near Refugio State Beach after an oil spill north of Goleta, Calif., May 20, 2015. A judge has approved a $230 million lawsuit settlement by the owners of a pipeline that spilled more than 140,000 gallons of crude oil into the ocean off California in 2015. (AP Photo/Michael A. Mariant, File)
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge has approved a $230 million lawsuit settlement by the owners of a pipeline that spilled more than 140,000 gallons of crude oil into the ocean off California in 2015, lawyers announced Thursday.
A federal judge in Los Angeles gave final approval on Tuesday to a settlement of a class-action suit that blamed All American Pipeline, L.P. and Plains Pipeline, L.P. for the May 2015 spill off the Santa Barbara coast.
The corroded undersea pipeline ruptured north of Refugio State Beach in Santa Barbara County, northwest of Los Angeles. All American Pipeline later estimated that 142,800 gallons spilled.
It was the worst California coastal oil spill since 1969. It blackened popular beaches for miles, killing or fouling hundred of seabirds, seals and other wildlife and hurting tourism and fishing.
“Due to failed maintenance and extensive pipeline corrosion, the pipeline ruptured and spilled, devastating the fishing industry and soiling coastal properties from Santa Barbara County to Los Angeles County," said a press statement from the law firms that filed the suit.
People who believe they may be entitled to some of the money have until Oct. 31 to submit claims.
The companies didn’t admit liability in the settlement agreement, which was reached in May following seven years of legal wrangling.
Federal inspectors found that Plains had made several preventable errors, failed to quickly detect the pipeline rupture and responded too slowly as oil flowed toward the ocean.
Plains apologized for the spill and paid for the costly cleanup. In 2020, Plains agreed to pay $60 million to the federal government to settle allegations that it violated safety laws. It also agreed to bring its nationwide pipeline system into compliance with federal safety laws.
Plains has applied for permission to build a new pipeline but it is facing an uphill battle.
The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading indicates that inflation may be peaking. But if you go to the grocery store or pay rent you're aware that prices aren't going down anytime soon. In fact, there's growing sentiment that inflation will be sticky.
What does that mean for interest rates? One part of the Federal Reserve's dual mandate is to keep inflation at or near its 2% target level. That means that it's reasonable to suggest that the Fed is not done with rate hikes.
Rising interest rates generally spell trouble for equity investors. Businesses, like consumers, are affected by higher interest rates. Not to be overly simplistic, but hiring borrowing costs means lower earnings. And that means a lower stock price.
However, some stocks manage rising interest rates better than others. In this special presentation, we look at seven stocks that are built to outperform when interest rates are rising. And what's even better, many of these stocks have business models that provide growth when the economy is firing on all cylinders.

Legendary actor Louis Gossett Jr., known for his powerful performances in “Roots” and “An Officer and a Gentleman,” died Friday morning at the age of 87. The news was confirmed by his family in a statement.
Gossett Jr.’s illustrious career spanned over six decades. He rose to prominence with his portrayal of Fiddler in the groundbreaking miniseries “Roots,” which earned him an Emmy Award in 1977.
