Barta cultural space (2023)
South Kurzeme Municipality Barta and partly Dunikas civil parish
Barta's cultural space is made up of a Community of residents interested in preserving their tangible and intangible cultural heritage, passing it on to future generations, and has proven to be viable despite various challenges. “The village of Barta - the village of the match, but held on greatly” still sings in Bart. The population of Bartas civil parish is small – around 500 bartenders, the Community is United as a large family. Its nucleus is made up of the families living in these generations: Greeks, Hood, Kiburs, Dobel, bears, etc., whose surnames also come from the names of villages (Hoebourciem, Dobel village, bear village). Here many are work colleagues and relatives. Of course, that's why you can't do without fruitful controversy. But so far, in shaping local cultural life, everyone has worked closely together, People are by character more closed, quiet, measured, also proud, yet can express their positions very confidently and openly if necessary. For entrants, it's hard to fit into the local Community at first, but they have to want to get involved themselves, then are welcomed into their own regiment in time. Indirectly, those who no longer live in Barta, but regularly visit their parents and grandparents, attend events at the cultural House and Museum, also form their own events, such as the “Bart burger ball,” are also linked to Bart's cultural space. It's important for barteners not to lose their culture and their local tradition.
Barta most important heritage custodians are:
The Barta Museum, Barta's ethnographic ensemble, the People's applied Arts Studio “Camel,” a children's folklore set called “Bartenieks.”
Importance in Community Life
It is hard to imagine Barta without one of Latvia's most beautiful countrysuits, without the sound of Barta's folk songs, without human connection to nature. Long-standing bartenders have been proud of their special cultural heritage: for peculiar multi-voiced songs, the long cry and LEITI, the play, the dancers, the bow, the bright crafts, the culinary heritage and other values. Barta's cultural and historical heritage strengthens the identity of bartenders and unites the Community. It has always been perceived as an integral part of life and plays a major role in building a sense of Community self-confidence and belonging. All of Barta's festivals and honours include some sort of traditional cultural activity in the programme, such as the parish festivities greeting young bartenders with a ritual of “braiding.” The younger generation of bartenders also live with the desire to transfer knowledge and skills about their intangible cultural heritage to children, so it is all the more important to keep traditions alive. Residents in Barta Parish have formed their own self-sufficient Community, where they support each other, share knowledge, actively track what is happening in the parish, side by side with both joy and grief. Everyone takes care of their farm - someone grows chickens, someone sieves cheese, someone sings, and someone else explores Barta's history. Each has its own place and its own plough for the Community to “function” as one, and the living legacy would be preserved and maintained from generation to generation.
The Barta Community appreciates and actively engages in various activities to preserve the values of Barta's cultural space.
Barta's singing tradition, games and dancers. The rich and peculiar dowry of traditional music is recorded and maintained alive. The traditional vocal plurality of Southwest Courland, ancient and archaic chants - the long cries and leeks still inherited from generation to generation, both in families and in the ethnographic ensemble - deserve special attention. (In the Annex, a more detailed description of this type of singing by Ethnomuzicologist Eve Pan).
Barta's bow. Words and sentences made in a special way remain in the records of folk songs, tales and stories, as well as audible in some places. (In the Appendix, a description of Barta's bullet by the linguists Eve Ozola and Lienne Markus-Narvils, you can also hear some examples.)
Customs, rituals and festivals. Bart celebrates the Latvian Anniversary Celebration with all the rituals that belong to it – the big day with the welcome of sunrise and the washing of mouth in the river, the summer solstice with cheese, beer and wreath weaving, the winter solstice with the pull of a block. In September, a parish celebration takes place around the time of harvesting, where traditional culture is also strongly represented. The procession, concerts, ball, trade, welcoming of young barteners, fishing competitions, church concert – year after year this is the largest and most vivid joint of residents of Bart Parish.
The tradition of wearing Barta's folk suit. Barta's magnificent folk suit has been canonized and became one of the most prominent symbols of Latvian folk suits, it is willingly made and worn not only in Bart, but also in other places in Latvia (many Latvian dance groups and choirs have costumes of Barta), also in the diaspora. Many Latvians living abroad also have Barta countrysuits, because they are not only beautiful and bright, but also easier to make outside Latvia, where appropriate materials are less widely available. Even after the war in refugee camps, costumes by Bart and Nietz were the most popular choice. You could use the curtains, blankets, all you had to do when you were doing your countrysuits was repaint them. More information can be found in the exhibition “put on Latvia” of the museum and research centre “Latvians in the World” (available: https://uzvilktlatviju.lapamuzejs.lv/). The highlights of Barta countrysuit include: honorary brunches - the lovely flax prints, or sachets (black with a wide red hem), the virgin bodice, or sachet, of a red woollen jackardram with glittering brocade ribbon seams, three different types of wolves - white (for virgins only), blue and “mad” - of linen-patterned fabric pulled underneath the blue. She puts the magnificent acorns on her head, her wives wearing patterned scarves. The accompanying photos show the outfit in all variety.
The Barta Museum's flagship exhibition is “the tradition of making and wearing Barta's folk suit in the 19 th to 21 st centuries.” Barta's ethnographic ensemble and children's folklore set, “the Bartenieks,” nurtures the tradition of wearing a folk suit, exploring, restoring and proudly wearing it for the festivities. (In an Annex, a folk suit story written by the county researcher Evita Hood.)
Barta amateur Theatre. For nearly 100 years in Bart, local people have been making various plays and musical productions. That gamewill doesn't dry up in Bart, and at least one new play is staged each year, which traditionally appears at the summer Solstice Festival. These shows often include Barta traditional songs, games, tell me, etc. folklore materials.
Culinary legacy. Baking bread, strapping cheese, white butter, brewing beer – it is only part of the culinary tradition. Bart has several bakers and masters of various dairy products – curd, cheese, butter. Young people, on the other hand, are enthusiastically trying to recreate the tradition of brewing beer. But everyday, sour porridge, sailor, jar (oat wedge), bubble porridge with a whisky (thick sauce) are made. (In an Annex, recipes for making biscuits nicknamed “spiras” by locals, sailing and white butter)
Hunting, fishing, sniffing, mushrooms – a long tradition in Bart. Barteners have some of the best mushroom sites for generations that they try never to reveal to others. Mushrooms in the Furniture Grove, by the Mountains of Una, Lapes and Pide, and by the old sawmill. Honorary thing in Bart - a “can” of salted mushrooms prepared for winter. (Description - Annex.) knowledge of the best berthing areas has also remained in families. Cranberries, browns and bears are read in the Brientable swamp and the palatial swamp. Not only is it important to know how to access berries in marshes, but how to store them for winter. Adhering to and maintaining hunting traditions is important these days, as the new generation must be taught how to live with nature, how not to consume more than necessary, how to follow hunting laws, what rites are like if you hunt something down, how to cook the game deliciously and healthily. These traditions have been carefully tended and guarded by Barta, Bartenieki's hunting collective, for several generations. Also with fishing traditions – grandfathers and fathers transfer their knowledge of this skill to their children and grandchildren.
Traditional craft skills. Weaving, knitting, embroidery, woodworking skills are nurtured and inherited from generation to generation. The most important role here is played by the Folk applied Arts studio “Camel” and its head, Indra Bunka. Bart scrutinises and mimics Barta's traditional glove patterns, dunks (blankets), roll towels, shirt embroidery, etc. However, in parallel, new and more modern things are created – crocheted scarves, rag sticks, etc. (Indra Bunk tells Bart craft skills in the Annex).
Drainage research, family research. One of the activities of the people of Bart – to know the history of his parish, to remember the great personalities of Barta and to promote that the lush families do not forget their roots. At the heart of municipality research – human life stories, house stories, events, traditions. Barta main county researchers operate at the Museum of Barta - its manager, Aija Kude, stockkeeper Laura Rusins and barteness, native researcher Evita Hood. Family research allows you to learn more about traditions, positions, material and spiritual values and their inheritance not only in your family but also in your native parish.
Conservation and promotion of Barta's cultural and historical sites. In Bart, active rest is possible for the whole family – boating, hiking, orientation, etc. There are plenty of places in Bart (see Annex Catherine Cruman's compiled list of Bart's most interesting places) related to Barta's history and beautiful surroundings, which over time have become popular attractions for both the bartenders themselves and Barta's guests. They are visited during hikes, tours, talks, etc.
Christian tradition. Lutheran, Catholic and domestic congregations alike also belong to Barta, preserving and sustaining the sacred tangible and intangible cultural heritage. The breast Lutheran Church is an architectural monument of national significance with a 400-year history. In contrast, Barta's Roman Catholic congregation was not founded until November 1998, while the church was built in 2002.
Inheritance and Transfer
The transfer and inheritance take place, first of all, in families, which are particularly pronounced in Bart. The younger generation feels the responsibility to keep their heritage alive in front of their families, through which they feel belonging to a special place on the map of Latvia. Invaluable contributions to the transfer of heritage to future generations are made by the amateur arts collective.
1. Barta's ethnographic ensemble ensures the inheritance of Barta rich folk songsong dowry, the repertoire is designed by listening to and imitating longtime singers. Presinger Livija Otanki has been in the ensemble since 1958. Her godfather, Jacob Kiburs, was the founder of the ensemble, who has left inheritance notes with folk lyrics and performance scripts.
2. The children's folklore ensemble “Bartenieki” and its leader, Mudite Musk, enable Barta's younger generation to learn local folk songs, games and dancers.
3. TLMS “camel” holds a variety of craft skills training, regularly offers master classes.
The Bart Museum, which collects, collects and digitises values and organises various events and exhibitions, plays an important role in the inheritance of Bart's cultural heritage.
Barta's tourism entrepreneurs tend to include appearances by Barta ethnographic ensemble in their event programmes, which helps promote Barta's traditional culture to a much wider range of people and allows you to see, in a more relaxed atmosphere, that living heritage has value, both for festivities and everyday life.
Bartenians have developed close cooperation with the Kurzeme Humanitarian Institute, together issuing various studies and compilations in several books (see publications section below).
Barta's cultural space is linked to an ancient history of the site. The name of the site comes from the Barta River, which has been home to white tribes on its banks. The site was inhabited in the early iron age, according to materials found in archaeological studies. But the documents mention Barta for the first time in a 1253 Treaty entered into by the Bishop of Kurzeme and the order of Livonia on the division of the Kurdish lands of Piemares, thus Barta part of Grobina's commutation until 1561. Temporarily, due to the debts of Gotthard Kettler Master of the order, it went into Prussian ownership, but after his youngest son Wilhelm's advantageous marriage to Sofija Grobina, daughter of the Duke of Prussia, is reclaimed as a dowry court. (Perhaps this time spent in Prussia by the lower Courland places (Barta, Hotel, Rucava) is largely the backdrop to the familiar countrysuits of these counties today. This is why they are so different compared to the rest of Latvia). After the liquidation of Livonia, welfare times began when the estates of Barta, Nietz and Rucava became part of the Duchy of Courland and Zemgale. During this time, farmers had accumulated savings when paying fees that could not be used to redeem lands, so their wealth could also be demonstrated by their magnificent countrysuits. A series of silver roots in “the Chuck,” the tall wreaths of acorns, bronze-trimmed shoes and boots - all of which suggest a boom during Duke Jacob. Barta was incorporated into the Russian Empire in 1795. During this time, Bart has an important post office on the way from Jelgava to Kenigsberga, which allows bartenders to see and experience the “breezes” of the latest world culture, so perhaps bartenders inherit a rather high confidence still evident in songs, outfits and human character. After witnessing many different events, even Napoleon's war on Russia, in 1817 barteners expect the free release of farmers – the land of the estate of Barta is divided into old farms and new farms. in 1918, Latvia was founded. Bartenieki is actively participating in its growth - in 1925 the new school building, built on rewalled foundations of the manor building, is unveiled, thus symbolising the restoration of freedom and self-determination. Cultural life – theatre, chorus, and even its own little Song Festival with about 400 singers from all over Kurzeme – is now being launched. Barta becomes a field of activity for farmers and craftsmen, the parish manager Janis Birznieks becomes Minister of Agriculture, and then President Karlis Ulmanis visits Barta. A cultural house is also built for donated and state resources of the population.
World War II and power change (Latvia is annexed to the Soviet Union) also hurt Barta. Many of Barta's inhabitants are sent out to Siberia, so out of fear, but reluctant bartenders came into Kolhozos - “Rainbow,” “storm,” and “free Step,” which merged into one large Kolhozza, “Barta,” in the early 1960 s. However, cultural life did not decline – Barta's ethnographic ensemble, consisting not only of singers but also of two dance groups, established a folk art studio, and Barta had his own band of blowers. The Soviet Union holds its positions until the late 80 s, but then the awakening begins throughout Latvia and Latvia's independence is regained in 1991. in 2009, the territory of Barta is included in Grobina municipality. in 2021, as a result of administrative territorial reform, Bartas civil parish is included in South Kurzeme county, which is currently the largest county in Latvia with 26 parishes and 5 cities.
These days, Barta's cultural heritage plays a more representative role compared to earlier times when it served as part of a lifestyle. Barta living legacy not only shapes Community identity but is a very important element in maintaining the mental and psychological wellbeing of bartenders. Bartenians need to value themselves and make their own history with confidence in the future. Of course, the Soviet years and the life of the colhoses have left their mark, but there are also young and enterprising people living here who see Barta (resources) for Bart's development to exploit for their own benefit, thus promoting Barta as both an important cultural historic place in lower Courland and a good place to live. They see an ability to transform and adapt it to the present day without denying the traditional cultural heritage,
in spring 2023, after a 70-year hiatus thanks to the men of Barta - Marim Cook and Einars Cook, as well as historical enthusiast Gunta Raleigh of Dunika - the tradition of binding and floating the rafts of Barta, which has long been a seasonal activity of local people, was restored because Barta was a waterway for floating timber to Lake Liepaja. Restoring the tradition has facilitated the acquisition of the craft skills and the identification of folklore materials related to this occupation. As part of the festivities, there was also a small exhibition about rafting and flooding and related traditions. As an integral part of any Barta feast, this time too, it featured Barta's ethnographic ensemble, singing tirelessly to the main rafters. In conclusion, it was agreed that this festival should become an annual tradition in Bart.
There is another interesting event – the youth festival “Barta burger ball” has been taking place for nine years. It is organised by young people with their families who feel they belong to Barta's cultural space, not least if the paths of life have been taken outside Barta. Here's your feeling, thanks to where you came from.

Bartenians appreciate their heritage. It is promoted at various events – exhibitions, concerts, honours, where new knowledge and skills are acquired. They also fulfil the function of consolidating the Community and promoting Barta's visibility. Not just the festivities, but the daily copulations (attempts by amateur collectives) strengthen the Community, help overcome exhaustion in crisis situations. The museum's stockpile is where Barta's history is compiled, heritage is digitised, making it widely available and usable to any interested person.

110 years for poet and county researcher Jacob Rusins;
2028 - 150 years for cultural worker and traditionalist Anne Coomb.
It has been decided to establish the association “cultural Heritage of Barta Culture Capital Foundation, whose task will be to raise funds from the State Culture capital Fund, etc. for documentation of projects, publication of books and brochures, digitisation of heritage, research, etc. activities.
The objectives of these measures are:
1. Promoting the visibility and sustainable development of the Barta cultural space;
2. Strengthening the links between cooperation and the Community of citizens;
3. Conservation and inheritance of living cultural heritage.
Threats to the Tradition
Barta's cultural space is affected by a variety of threats, both local and global.
First, the closure of primary and kindergarten, with the result that children are attending various adjacent parish schools where county learning will not be able to be introduced, as planned by the historic lands Act Development Plan. And if there's no on-site kindergarten, young parents choose to live and work where it's more convenient to set up their day-to-day.
Secondly, the population is still decreasing throughout Latvia, also in Bart, thus the number of traditions keepers and inheritors is decreasing. The area is currently populated by around 530 barteners fighting for their right to preserve their unique cultural and historical heritage. Unfortunately, support from the municipality also decreases annually. Much of the budget devoted to culture goes to pay for space heating. This reduces the chances of organising various support measures to maintain traditions. Residents of former school buildings have repeatedly asked to entrust the Community where societies could develop, to put up expanded museum exposures, there would be spaces for active Barta retirees, etc.
And thirdly, the inheritance of tradition no longer takes place naturally, as lifestyles have changed, there are no generations living under the same roof, so more investment is needed to interest children and young people in caring for the cultural and historical heritage of their ancestors.

A bhangmeter is a non-imaging radiometer installed on reconnaissance and navigation satellites to detect atmospheric nuclear detonations and determine the yield of the nuclear weapon. They are also installed on some armored fighting vehicles, in particular NBC reconnaissance vehicles, in order to help detect, localise and analyse tactical nuclear detonations. They are often used alongside pressure and sound sensors in this role in addition to standard radiation sensors. Some nuclear bunkers and military facilities may also be equipped with such sensors alongside seismic event detectors.
The bhangmeter was invented, and the first proof-of-concept device was built, in 1948 to measure the nuclear test detonations of Operation Sandstone. Prototype and production instruments were later built by EG&G, and the name "bhangmeter" was coined in 1950. Bhangmeters became standard instruments used to observe US nuclear tests. A Mod II bhangmeter was developed to observe the detonations of Operation Buster-Jangle (1951) and Operation Tumbler-Snapper (1952). These tests lay the groundwork for a large deployment of nationwide North American bhangmeters with the Bomb Alarm System (1961-1967).
US president John F. Kennedy and the First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Nikita Khrushchev signed the Partial Test Ban Treaty on August 5, 1963, under the condition that each party could use its own technical means to monitor the ban on nuclear testing in the atmosphere or in outer space.
The Vela satellites were the first space-based observation devices jointly developed by the U.S. Air Force and the Atomic Energy Commission. The first generation of Vela satellites were not equipped with bhangmeters but with X-ray sensors to detect the intense single pulse of X-rays produced by a nuclear explosion. The first satellites which incorporated bhangmeters were the Advanced Vela satellites.
Since 1980, bhangmeters are part of US GPS navigation satellites.
The silicon photodiode sensors are designed to detect the distinctive bright double pulse of visible light that is emitted from atmospheric nuclear weapons explosions. This signature consists of a short and intense flash lasting around 1 millisecond, followed by a second much more prolonged and less intense emission of light taking a fraction of a second to several seconds to build up. This signature, with a double intensity maximum, is characteristic of atmospheric nuclear explosions and is the result of the Earth's atmosphere becoming opaque to visible light and transparent again as the explosion's shock wave travels through it.
The effect occurs because the surface of the early fireball is quickly overtaken by the expanding "case shock", the atmospheric shock wave composed of the ionised plasma of what was once the casing and other matter of the device. Although it emits a considerable amount of light itself, it is opaque and prevents the far brighter fireball from shining through. The net result recorded is a decrease of the light visible from outer space as the shock wave expands, producing the first peak recorded by the bhangmeter.
As it expands, the shock wave cools off and becomes less opaque to the visible light produced by the inner fireball. The bhangmeter starts eventually to record an increase in visible light intensity. The expansion of the fireball leads to an increase of its surface area and consequently an increase of the amount of visible light radiated off to space. The fireball continuing to cool down, the amount of light eventually starts to decrease, causing the second peak observed by the bhangmeter. The time between the first and second peaks can be used to determine its nuclear yield.
Origin of the name
The name of the detector is a pun, which was bestowed upon it by Fred Reines, one of the scientists working on the project. The name is derived from the Hindi word "bhang", a locally grown variety of cannabis which is smoked or drunk to induce intoxicating effects, the joke being that one would have to be on drugs to believe the bhangmeter detectors would work properly. This is in contrast to a "bangmeter" one might associate with detection of nuclear explosions.

The following social security agreements are currently in force: the agreement with Italy is a departure from other US agreements, since it does not provide for an exemption regime. As in other agreements, the basic criterion of coverage is the territorial rule. However, the coverage of foreign workers is mainly based on the nationality of the worker. If an employed or self-employed U.S. citizen in Italy would be covered by U.S. Social Security without the agreement, he will remain covered by the U.S. program and exempt from Italian coverage and contributions. Bilateral social security agreements provide for the coordination of social security systems in Poland and the other contracting state. These agreements improve the situation of beneficiaries in the acquisition of social security benefits, as they are subject to the obligation of insurance coverage for all persons within the personal scope of the agreement.
Bilateral social security agreements have the effect that the acquisition of the work of Polish citizens in a country linked to Poland by such an agreement always leads positively to the acquisition of the right to social benefits. Anyone seeking more information about the U.S. Social Security Totalization Program – including the details of some existing agreements – should write to the following: Canada, as an important host country, has signed bilateral agreements with more than 50 countries. In addition, 9 of the 13 states and territories that have signed and ratified the CARICOM agreement are able to inform the third country of migrant workers in the Member States [see multilateral agreements]. These include Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Trinidad and Tobago.

Travel Questions about Frequently Flying Pets
Number of Pets: 3
Pet Type: Dogs
Pet Breed: Beagles
To: United States
Last year, we moved to Germany from the US and had all the required paperwork.
1. What do I need in terms of paperwork to return TO the United States?
2. Can I get a "passport" so the dogs can travel between Europe and the US multiple times during the year?
As a seasoned traveler, you're in pretty good shape. What you'll primarily need to focus on at this point are the pet import requirements for the United States, which fortunately aren't overly strict, and if you go back to Germany, the pet import requirements for Germany.
Traveling between the US and Germany isn't quite the same as traveling within the EU, so you will need to obtain a health certificate each time you travel (your vet issues this within 10 days of departure). Please look at these links and then let us know if you have further questions or would like assistance.
Good luck with your travels!

If you want to get to the heart of Sudanese politics, you might start by joining a group of black-clad adults supporting a cross-party march in the African country.
The 120-strong group of western Sudanese have taken over half the capital Khartoum’s main square to show their support for a demonstration taking place across the country.
“We’re here to support the people. We’re here to support the democratic government,” said Laith al-Kharma, a member of the group from the Nuba Mountains.
Thousands of Sudanese have taken to the streets in recent weeks to demand a general election and reform of the state.
Mahmoud al-Deen, a member of the Sudanese Democratic Alliance party, told CNN that protesting rights was a human right and should be respected.
“We have right to demonstrate against the government’s abuses in Sudan,” he said.
Sudanese security forces reportedly fired tear gas and water cannons to break up a peaceful demonstration on May 3.

The superfood trend has always seemed to take the least appetizing foods and transform them into the superstar ingredient with the promise to reverse your grandma’s arthritis or cure your aunt’s osteoporosis. The foods that were once public enemy #1 have become the secret to a longer and more youthful life. But if turning quinoa and kale into everybody’s comfort food seemed strange, what about crickets?
The idea of eating insects, or entomophagy, is not new and has been practiced since ancient times in the non-western world. But recently, snack food companies like Cricket Flours, Chirps Chips, Exo Protein Bars, and many more are trying to woo the Western world with entomophagy in the form of roasted, fried, and powdered versions of Jiminy Cricket. Promising nearly all the essential vitamins you need in a day into a crispy chip or in one bite of a cricket flour brownie, these companies seem to have created the next kale chip–but are crickets really worth the hype?
Cricket Snacks: A History
Today, people from regions in Africa, Asia and Latin America incorporate hundreds of different species of insects into their diets everyday. Of the several orders of insects consumed, crickets are one of the most popular insect species enjoyed by much of the non-western world.
In the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, crickets are common toppings on tacos, esquites, sopes, and even on pizzas. On the other side of the globe, crispy crickets fried in oil are constantly in high demand in Cambodia’s street markets during the “cricket season.”
Packed with nutrition, crickets have not only been a popular treat for the masses in many non-western countries but they have also prevented poor and low-income populations from suffering from malnutrition. The insects boast significant amounts of protein and essential minerals like calcium and iron, and are packed with vitamins. Rich with B-group vitamins, vitamin A and vitamin K (all vitamins that our body needs but which are hard to source), the title of “superfood” is well-deserved for crickets.
The Insurgence of Cricket-Based Snacks
Since around 2011, small companies have popped up across the US and Canada, like Chirps Chips, Chapul, Bitty, and All Things Bugs. In 2015, Whole Foods partnered with Grub, an edible insect company, to bring roasted cricket snacks to its physical stores. An Oregon-based startup, Cricket Flours, which focuses on selling different flavored cricket products has garnered popularity from many on Amazon. Their most popular product, “Cricket Bites”, which spice up whole-roasted crickets with signature flavors like spicy cayenne, cheesy ranch, hickory smoked bacon, buffalo wing sauce, and roasted original, has brought them thousands of overwhelmingly positive reviews.
The same can not be said about all the steadily growing cricket snack brands, however. Their competitor Chirps Chips, for example, has garnered mixed reviews. Youtuber Kathy of the small youtube channel 2¢ chick challenged her husband John to try Chirps Chips in a variety of flavors in July of 2018. While Kathy tried the chips along with John, she blind-folded him and did not tell him about the chips’ special ingredient for the taste-testing of most of the flavors. Unbiased, John commented that the sea salt flavor chips “honestly… taste[d] like a plain tortilla chip” and subsequently added that the chips were “kind of cardboard-y” and had “no flavor.”
In a similar test, Consumer Reports put cricket-based Exo vanilla blueberry protein bars, Bitty chocolate-chip cookies, and Chapul Aztec bars to the test to see if their blind panel of taste testers would be able to detect any foul flavors or any indications of crickets in the samples. Although no participant was able to detect any indications that they were consuming crickets nor did they think the products had any foul taste, the researcher conducting the panel relayed that the products “weren’t real stand-outs.”
Insects to Fight Climate Change
The fact that the world’s population is set to grow past food supply by 2050 make it increasingly clear that crickets could be vital to humanity’s survival in the face of climate change. According to British investment bank, Barclays, the whole insect industry is set to be worth $8 billion in less than a decade, thanks in no small part to the challenges of our future. Due to the ease of collecting and raising crickets, studies suggest that crickets could simultaneously be key to the economic uplift of low-income populations. With the population set to increase, they could do some serious good for the global economy through revamping mainstream agriculture too.
As one study writes, feeding livestock using traditional feed from corn, soy, etc. accounts for nearly 70% of the cost of livestock. (The cost becomes even greater when factoring in the devastating environmental cost, including deforestation and pesticide run-off, of growing traditional feed sources). Using crickets as feed for livestock could significantly reduce the cost and reduce the carbon footprint of raising livestock.
In the West, the idea of consuming insects in any form has long evoked terror and squeamishness, but in recent years the tide has turned. According to experts, in just 2027, the world will be in an over 200 trillion caloric deficit. By 2050 when the world will grow to become 9 billion people, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization predicts that we will need to produce 70% more food than we do now which is why many consider it the year we “will run out of food.”
Traditional methods of agriculture beefed up would not only exacerbate pollution and processes contributing to global warming, but would also mean vast amounts of land. Vast as in 0.3 billion more hectares of land from the currently occupied 5.1 billion hectares to sustain agriculture until just 2030. Insects like crickets, can be farmed or harvested from the wild so easily that they are incredibly helpful for the upward mobility of impoverished people in developing nations. Moreover, they use much lesser land and emit much, much less greenhouse gasses than livestock and are a much more energy-rich food compared to other meats. Nutritionally, unlike most other meats, they also boast fiber and important minerals like iron, zinc, and magnesium. Crickets can also be fed on a variety of foods including weeds meaning that they basically can live off the bare minimum and even “clean up the environment.”
Let’s not forget that research even shows that crickets can be used successfully to lower high blood pressure and fevers! Crickets aren’t just a superfood, they are a miracle food and maybe they won’t be everybody’s favorite protein, but it’s clear that they are jumping into the future of snack foods. Now at this prospect–my mouth waters for some cricket chips.
Have you tried Cricket Flours, Chirps Chips, Chapul, Bitty or All Things Bugs? Will you be cooking your next batch of cookies with Cricket flour? Whether you think it’s trendy or truly weird, have you tried any cricket snacks? Do you think crickets are the protein of the future? What cricket snack are you most excited or willing to try?

Caraway seeds is something of an acquired taste but if you like rye bread you'll love these Swedish biscuits!
easy and really tastey - 20 Oct 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I used pecans instead of walnuts, and changed the flour to be 1 cup rye flour and 2 cups all-purpose flour. These are easy to make! They have a wonderful smell and taste! I love the hidden surprise of the caraway seeds! - 14 Dec 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)

The Seahawks' offense might look a lot different this year, thanks to the new "Bash Brothers."
That's not to be confused with Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire, rather the on-set characters that starred in The Mighty Ducks. Offseason acquisition Jimmy Graham and third-year man Luke Willson have had some fun with their new nickname, but could also be alluding to their on-field presence come 2015.
As in two or three tight-end sets? Possibly.
"I think a lot of double- and triple tight-end sets for us are really going to start to come out this year," Jimmy Graham said. "(They will) really give defenses a fit, because we are going to be able to run the ball so effectively because of all the tight ends in the game. Also in the pass, play action is going to be amazing."
The Seahawks' tight end tandem - Graham and Luke Willson - form an imposing duo, standing 6-foot-7 and 6-foot-5, respectively. Russell Wilson will have two big weapons to target, which could open up the rest of the field for others.
Watch out, NFL defenses. The "Bash Brothers" have arrived.

Someone thinks there’s money to be made snitching on healthcare providers and suppliers who commit Medicare fraud.
“We are convinced at least 10 percent of the federal budget is eaten up by fraud, or over billing each year,” reads a recent press release of one organization seeking whistleblowers of Medicare fraud. “We are convinced there are thousands of corporate managers, or executives who have substantial proof their company is defrauding, or over billing the federal government out of millions of dollars each year, and we want them to call us, if they might like to learn more about lucrative federal whistleblower reward programs.”
The organization’s website offers zero insight into how it manages whistle-blowers or how it receives payment. Does it charge callers for its services or does it take a percentage of what the government recovers?
The federal government has numerous ways to report fraud. Medicare publishes this website with names, addresses, and telephone numbers.
“Now, it appears that the first generation of professional whistleblowers is upon us,” writes Compliance Week in a story about man seeking investors to form such a company, in this case to chase violators of SEC regulations.

(JTA) — When India has a drought, hummus prices in Britain suffer.
Insufficient rains in India have led to several years of a reduced chickpea harvest, The New York Times reported Thursday. Chickpeas are the main ingredient in hummus.
India, the world’s largest chickpea producer, uses most of its yield for domestic consumption, but because of the poor harvests it has had to buy its chickpeas from growers in other countries, making them scarcer and driving up the price of the modest legume.
Average prices for hummus at British supermarkets have risen 12 percent over the previous year, The Times reported, citing the trade magazine The Grocer, despite general grocery price inflation of 3.6 percent. That’s in part because of the limited supply of chickpeas, but also because of the rising demand for hummus in Britain, according to the report.
Hummus reportedly has become a staple in Britain since being introduced in supermarkets in the 1990s, according to The Times, and was voted one of the products most likely to be found in Britons’ fridges in a 2013 survey of European food habits. Britons annually eat more than 100 million pounds of the spread annually at a cost of about $140 million, according to the report, citing the research firm Kantar Worldpanel.
But Britain, and other countries around the world where the demand for hummus has increased exponentially, can relax a little. Farmers in the United States are “drastically” raising their chickpea harvests in response to rising interest in chickpea production, according to The Times. And scientists from Scotland and Ethiopia are jointly exploring the development of drought-resistant chickpeas, the report said.
Demand for hummus, and therefore chickpeas, is expected to increase as healthier eating stays in vogue.

In a post on his Twitter account on Wednesday, Khatibzadeh said there was a great difference between the US words and deeds, as it kept offering aid to Iran while preventing the country from using its money to provide food and medicine for its people.
“US keeps repeating empty offers of ‘aid’. Here’s an idea: Put ur policy where ur mouth is. Just stop blocking Iranian people’s right to use their own money frozen in Korea, Iraq & Japan, to be used for food & medicine-amid pandemic,” the spokesman said.
To prove its intentions, the tweet said, the US could ask its Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) agency to unfreeze Iran’s money in South Korea and send it to a Swiss trade channel meant to help Iran avoid US sanctions.
Back in June, Governor of the Central Bank of Iran Abdolnaser Hemmati said Korean banks are preventing Iran from using billions of dollars of its oil money to buy foods and medicines which the US alleges are exempt from its sanctions, Press TV reported.
Iran says South Korea is in arrears on payment of about 7 billion US dollars for Iranian oil before the US President Donald Trump’s administration re-imposed sanctions on Tehran’s oil industry in November 2018.

Autumn is upon us and while many of us still remain home-based there’s never been a better time to check out what birds might be migrating over or through our gardens.
So during the months of September and October the Herts Bird Club will be asking you to record migration from your garden with the emphasis on visible migration or ‘vismig’. This means recording counts of any species seen or heard in or from your house/garden during the day or night, including flyovers or birds seen/heard in neighbouring gardens or streets.
As with the Great Herts Garden Bird Count in April all records count as long as you are in your garden or house at the time.*
Your garden vismig counts should be entered on the Great Herts Autumn Garden Vismig Watch 2020 Google Sheet – instructions are provided on the Google Sheet. You can record birds on any and as many days in September and October as you wish or are able to.
please continue to submit any unusual records or counts of birds in Herts via the Herts Bird Club records submission page.
Highlights will be provided throughout the month on the website and from @hertsbirds on Twitter and you can share your sightings and photos on Twitter using the usual hashtag #hertsbirds
The Autumn Herts 24-hr Garden Vismig Race
As part of the Great Herts Autumn Vismig Watch 2020 we are challenging observers to a 24-hr Garden Vismig Watch on Saturday 3rd October 2020. This date was voted on Twitter as the day most likely to give the best chance of seeing both departing summer migrants and returning winter birds. Who knows? Of course the weather may play a part too!
If you’re up for a challenge then look out for more details nearer the time on the website and from @hertsbirds on Twitter! There are rumours that another greatly sought after, limited edition mug may be up for grabs as a prize for the most species recorded!!
*For simplicities sake we are not accepting records recorded on equipment (unless the bird was also seen or heard at the time). These recorded records can still be submitted via the website as usual with a note in the Comments box that equipment was used.

This is the world’s first robot mop & vacuum featuring innovative self-cleaning technology. With this robot, you could have all the floor cleaning done without lifting a finger.
Floor Cleaning 4.0 is here!
With groundbreaking self-cleaning technology, this robot signals the start of a new era of fully automatic robot cleaner, where you can enjoy a truly hands-free floor cleaning experience.
The base station has two-bucket system which separates waste water from clean water and includes a built-in pump to spray the water to the mops and a washboard to clean the mop. The full tank of 5L can cover a sizable space up to 2,150 ft² in 3 hours.
The robot returns to the base station automatically when needed, where its mops get sprayed, scraped and squeezed on the washboard. And then it goes back to where it left off and continues mopping. The rinse water will be pumped into the waste water tank.
A wet mop will breed bacteria! Not gonna to happen to this robot! The ventilation system helps to dry up the mop when the mopping is done to prevent the damp and bacterium.
Most of the robot cleaners out there clean the floor by merely pushing or dragging the cleaning fabric around, which only makes it worse. Featuring 2 rounded triangle spin mops, this robot prevails over traditional ones and easily captures fine dust and removes stains seamlessly.
Mopping test: efficiently removed stubborn stains.
Optimum spinning speed of the twin rotor and pressure make the cleaning virtually effortless. The ultra-fine microfiber mop pads ensure exceptional dirt removal and liquid absorption, yet gentle to the floor.
This robot can be your reliable vacuuming buddy too. For daily cleaning of surface debris, It works wonders helping you maintain floors clean just like other standalone robot vacuums.
Powered by a 1800Pa motor, its immense suction pressure effortlessly takes care of all dust, dirt, pet hair and everything else in your home. The two side brushes with intelligent speeds designed to clean every corner.
This robot boasts its smart mapping and navigation which allows the robot to adapt any environment to clean the room properly with ease.
Lidar Navigation Technology
It can learn the environment and figure out an optimized cleaning routine instead of aimlessly spinning around. The technologies of Lidar Navigation and the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) literally make this robot smarter than ever.
Monitor and Plan Cleaning with App
With the APP, you can adjust cleaning settings, customize the cleaning strategy, and monitor the cleaning status and more no matter where you are.
With the mapping, you can define no-go zones to build virtual barriers for mopping or vacuuming as you wish through the APP. No-go zones can be stored for all future auto scheduled runs.
What makes a robot cleaner robotic is the precision of the navigation sensors. With multiple smart sensors, the robot avoids obstacles with ease and tackles tough terrain effortlessly.
When it knocks into something, its bumper retracts and the sensors tell the robot to find a clear path.
The cliff sensors help the robot sense the edges and avoid it falling from heights.
The wall sensors let the robot follow very closely along walls and around objects without touching them. The robot recognizes the carpet with the virtual walls around, which is the no-go zone preset via the App.
This robot delivers effective cleaning with a low noise output. It’s ideal for late-night cleaning or anyone who likes a bit of quiet time.
