The scenes of this story are laid in Egypt -- Abu-Tabah, the inscrutable Egyptian, who appears and disappears so mysteriously, is not so blood-curdling a villain as Fu Manchu, but his exploits possess the same breathless interest that characterized the activities of the yellow doctor. In the latter half of the book, notably in the story, "The Valley of the Sorceress," there is an element new in Rohmer's work -- that of the supernatural ...

Illuminating a powerful intersection between popular culture and global politics, Spies and Holy Wars draws on a sampling of more than eight hundred British and American thrillers that are propelled by the theme of jihad—an Islamic holy war or crusade against the West. Published over the past century, the books in this expansive study encompass spy novels and crime fiction, illustrating new connections between these genres and Western imperialism. Demonstrating the social implications of the popularity of such books, Reeva Spector Simon covers how the Middle Eastern villain evolved from being the malleable victim before World War II to the international, techno-savvy figure in today's crime novels. She explores the impact of James Bond, pulp fiction, and comic books and also analyzes the ways in which world events shaped the genre, particularly in recent years. Worldwide terrorism and economic domination prevail as the most common sources of narrative tension in these works, while military "tech novels" restored the prestige of the American hero in the wake of post-Vietnam skepticism. Moving beyond stereotypes, Simon examines the relationships between publishing trends, political trends, and popular culture at large—giving voice to the previously unexamined truths that emerge from these provocative page-turners.

The novel is speaking about the archeologist Fhd, who spent his childhood at the oasis and was taught archeology by Aschraf Azaam. He met Habeba, an American lady with Egyptian roots, who possessed a map left to her by her grandfather. He discovered symbols which denoted that AbdelRahman, the grandpa of Habeba, wrote messages for his offspring on the walls of the oasis caves. But that wasn’t all. What Fhd didn’t state to Habeba is that the map denoted also the presence of a secret city near the oasis. Through the sequence of events, he was able to reach that city, where he met people coming from different cultures, who narrated for him their tales, revealing the unity between mankind, yet Fhd started to search for an exit as he felt that the city was beyond him. Everyone was narrating his story, but he couldn’t do the same. He wanted to keep his pains and secrets within his heart, so would he find an exit? The answer is inside.

The story of Chick Austin is the story, in Virgil Thomson's words, of "a whole cultural movement in one man." Becoming director of Hartford's Wadsworth Atheneum at the age of twenty-six, Austin immediately set about to introduce modern art to America and to transform this conservative insurance capital into a cultural mecca that would become the talk of the art world during the yeasty years between the two world wars. The first in the United States to mount a major Picasso retrospective, Austin was soon acquiring works by Dalí, Mondrian, Miró, Balthus, Max Ernst, and Alexander Calder. In the museum's new theater (which he designed), he staged the premiere of the revolutionary Gertrude Stein and Virgil Thomson opera Four Saints in Three Acts (with an all-black cast). At Lincoln Kirstein's instigation, he brought Balanchine to America. And he embraced all the new art forms, making film, photography, architecture, and contemporary music part of the life of his museum. For his own family he built a Palladian villa (now a recently restored national historic landmark), filling it with the baroque and the Bauhaus and inviting all the locals in to see how it felt to be modern. Austin's instinct for quality proved infallible. Whether acquiring a matchless Caravaggio or a startling Dalí, he balanced the old masters with the modern. Mounting provocative shows that linked the past to the present, he created dramatic installations--and he threw himself into everything, hanging fabrics, creating backdrops, stitching up costumes. He loved to teach, to paint, to act, to give lavish costume balls, and to dazzle audiences of all ages with his performances as a magician, the Great Osram. Brilliant at using his magician's sleight of hand, he could manipulate his conservative trustees to get what he wanted--but only up to a point. One more purchase of an incomprehensible abstract canvas, one outrageous party too many, one more shocking theatrical role, eventually led to a crisis. Never one to be idle for long, Austin left Hartford and took on a new challenge--to make an artistic triumph of the pink-and-white palace in Sarasota, Florida, known as the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, which housed the circus king's moldering but magnificent collection. Here is the colorful life of Chick Austin, and as we relish his audacious career--the risks he took, the successes he enjoyed along with the inevitable setbacks--we understand what a far-reaching influence he had on the way Americans look at and think about art. Not only a brilliant portrait of an extraordinary man, this wonderfully American story gives us a fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpse into the art world as it was then--and in many ways still is today.
In the winter of 1922-23 archaeologist Howard Carter and his wealthy patron George Herbert, the Fifth Earl of Carnarvon, sensationally opened the tomb of Tutenkhamen. Six weeks later Herbert, the sponsor of the expedition, died in Egypt. The popular press went wild with rumours of a curse on those who disturbed the Pharaoh's rest and for years followed every twist and turn of the fate of the men who had been involved in the historic discovery. Long dismissed by Egyptologists, the mummy's curse remains a part of popular supernatural belief. Roger Luckhurst explores why the myth has captured the British imagination across the centuries, and how it has impacted on popular culture. Tutankhamen was not the first curse story to emerge in British popular culture. This book uncovers the 'true' stories of two extraordinary Victorian gentlemen widely believed at the time to have been cursed by the artefacts they brought home from Egypt in the nineteenth century. These are weird and wonderful stories that weave together a cast of famous writers, painters, feted soldiers, lowly smugglers, respected men of science, disreputable society dames, and spooky spiritualists. Focusing on tales of the curse myth, Roger Luckhurst leads us through Victorian museums, international exhibitions, private collections, the battlefields of Egypt and Sudan, and the writings of figures like Arthur Conan Doyle, Rider Haggard and Algernon Blackwood. Written in an open and accessible style, this volume is the product of over ten years research in London's most curious archives. It explores how we became fascinated with Egypt and how this fascination was fuelled by myth, mystery, and rumour. Moreover, it provides a new and startling path through the cultural history of Victorian England and its colonial possessions.

The Mummy is one of the most recognizable figures in horror and is as established in the popular imagination as virtually any other monster, yet the Mummy on screen has until now remained a largely overlooked figure in critical analysis of the cinema. In this compelling new study, Basil Glynn explores the history of the Mummy film, uncovering lost and half-forgotten movies along the way, revealing the cinematic Mummy to be an astonishingly diverse and protean figure with a myriad of on-screen incarnations. In the course of investigating the enduring appeal of this most 'Oriental' of monsters, Glynn traces the Mummy's development on screen from its roots in popular culture and silent cinema, through Universal Studios' Mummy movies of the 1930s and 40s, to Hammer Horror's re-imagining of the figure in the 1950s, and beyond.

Edgar Award-winning editor Otto Penzler's new anthology brings together the most cunning, ruthless, and brilliant criminals in mystery fiction, for the biggest compendium of bad guys (and girls) ever assembled. The best mysteries--whether detective, historical, police procedural, cozy, or comedy--have one thing in common: a memorable perpetrator. For every Sherlock Holmes or Sam Spade in noble pursuit, there's a Count Dracula, a Lester Leith, or a Jimmy Valentine. These are the rogues and villains who haunt our imaginations--and who often have more in common with their heroic counterparts than we might expect. Now, for the first time ever, Otto Penzler gathers the iconic traitors, thieves, con men, sociopaths, and killers who have crept through the mystery canon over the past 150 years, captivating and horrifying readers in equal measure. The 72 handpicked stories in this collection introduce us to the most depraved of psyches, from iconic antiheroes like Maurice Leblanc's Arsène Lupin and Sax Rohmer's Dr. Fu Manchu to contemporary delinquents like Lawrence Block's Ehrengraf and Donald Westlake's Dortmunder, and include unforgettable tales by Robert Louis Stevenson, Bram Stoker, Washington Irving, Jack London, H.G. Wells, Sinclair Lewis, O. Henry, Edgar Wallace, Leslie Charteris, Erle Stanley Gardner, Edward D. Hoch, Max Allan Collins, Loren D. Estleman, and many more.

The Sahara is the quintessence of isolation, epitomizing both remoteness and severity of environment unlike any other place on the face of the earth. Replete with myths and fictions, it is a wild land, dotted with oases and camel trains trudging through sand dunes that roll like the waves on a sea, as far as the distant horizon. But this is just part of the picture. The largest desert in the world, the Sahara ranges from the river Nile running through Egypt and Sudan in the east, to the Atlantic coast from Morocco to Mauritania in the west; stretching from the Atlas Mountains and the shores of the Mediterranean in the north, to the fluid Sahelian fringe that delineates the desert in the south. Invaders and traders have come and gone for millennia, but the Sahara is also the place that some people call home. While larger than the United States, this vast area contains only three million people. Africans and Arabs, Berber and Bedu, Tuareg and Tebu. Eamonn Gearon explores the history, culture and terrain of a place whose name is familiar to all, but known to few.

An entirely new perspective on current scaremongering about China’s global ambitions, and on the Western media’s ignorance of Chinese culture A hundred years ago, a character who was to enter the bloodstream of 20th-century popular culture made his first appearance in the world of literature. In his day he became as well known as Count Dracula or Sherlock Holmes: he was the evil genius called Dr. Fu Manchu, described at the beginning of the first story in which he appeared as “the yellow peril incarnate in one man.” Why did the idea that the Chinese were a threat to Western civilization develop at precisely the time when China was in chaos, divided against itself, the victim of successive famines and utterly incapable of being a “peril” to anyone even if it had wanted to be? Even the author of the Dr. Fu Manchu novels, Sax Rohmer, acknowledged that China, “as a nation possess that elusive thing, poise.” And what do the Chinese themselves make of all this? Is it any wonder that they remember what we have carelessly forgotten–the opium wars; the “unfair treaties” that ceded Hong Kong and the New Territories; and the stereotyping of Chinese people in allegedly factual studies? Here cultural historian Christopher Frayling takes us to the heart of popular culture in the music hall, pulp literature, and the mass-market press, and shows how film amplifies our assumptions.

Ancient Egypt has long been a source of fascination in Western popular culture. Movies such as The Mummy (1932, 1959), Biblical epics like The Ten Commandments (1923, 1956), and pharaonic films like Cleopatra (1934, 1963) and The Egyptian (1954) have all recreated the glamour and allure of Egyptian art and civilization for Western audiences. This work traces how these and other films were inspired by writers like Bram Stoker and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and by the art of Victorian painters. Similarly, it shows how the soundtracks to such films belong to a Romantic musical tradition stretching back beyond Verdi and Mozart. Exploring these artistic endeavors addresses the question of whether the fantasy of ancient Egypt represents racist misunderstandings of a far more significant reality, or a way for Western culture to understand itself.

The desert town of Sedona in Arizona is interesting enough, but it's the surrounding landscape of deep canyons, rocky outcrops and millions of acres of pine forest that are the biggest draw. With scenery like that, you'd be forgiven for thinking it suffered from a stiflingly hot year-round climate, but the mild winter and gorgeous shoulder seasons couldn't be better for outdoor adventures. When you stay in a Sedona vacation rental, you can decide how you want to explore. Whether it's by foot, horseback or hot air balloon, you can't help but ooh and aah at the unworldly scenery that has earned it the nickname "Red Rocks Country". When you see the dramatic landscape in Sedona, you'll realize why it's inspired so many artists over the years.

The desert town of Sedona in Arizona is interesting enough, but it's the surrounding landscape of deep canyons, rocky outcrops and millions of acres of pine forest that are the biggest draw. With scenery like that, you'd be forgiven for thinking it suffered from a stiflingly hot year-round climate, but the mild winter and gorgeous shoulder seasons couldn't be better for outdoor adventures. When you stay in a Sedona vacation rental, you can decide how you want to explore.

Rosemary Supreme is one of my favorite products from Supreme Nutrition! (click here to read about Supreme) Let’s cut to the chase, the three most common reasons I use Rosemary supreme is for excess estrogen/estrogen dominance, inflammation and dysbiosis.
If you have read my estrogen articles (here and here) then you know that excess estrogen or estrogen imbalance is one of my most common findings in both males and females. If you haven’t read those articles then I recommend you do, so that you know everything that correcting estrogen imbalances can help with.
Excess estrogen can cause a whole myriad of symptoms from the typical PMS type symptoms to depression and weight gain. Rosemary Supreme helps the body to detoxify this extra estrogen. My patients have reported changes in mood within hours of taking it, elimination of bloating and cramping as well as increased energy. If you have gained some extra weight, each fat cell creates extra estrogen in your body and as you lose the weight, you will likely become estrogen dominant, which is why I always test Rosemary for those that are just beginning on their journey to eating healthy.
In addition to helping to detox estrogen Rosemary is an adaptogen. Adaptogens in general help you to deal with stress and help to balance out bodily systems, not just add to or subtract from. Supreme Nutrition uses many high quality adaptogens allowing the body to normalize and rebalance itself.
Rosemary is also known for its ability to be a natural antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic and antifungal agent. These properties allow it to help rebalance the gut flora, which is likely why my patients report less bloating. If you experience bloating it is likely that the unhealthy organisms in your gut are not only causing your bloating, but also stopping your body from detoxifying estrogen. This makes Rosemary a “double whammy.” (Note that while nature has many antiviral herbs, modern medicine has very few and the ones they have create many side effects)
Lastly I find Rosemary helps to decrease inflammation. Almost all modern diseases have an inflammatory component, from asthma and headaches to arthritis. Its anti-inflammatory combined with its immune restoring properties have been shown to help in common conditions from contact dermatitis to eczema.
So as you can see, there are many patients that benefit from Rosemary, but by far the most that use this product have an estrogen type symptoms.
Always consult your doctor before taking any supplement. Rosemary should not be taken while pregnant, it can affect blood clotting in those with previous conditions and it may interfere with some hypertension medications. As always, consult your physician about your individual situation before taking any herbal supplement.

You can use the vegan “Parmesan” for all kinds of things, but we chose to coat zucchini and make it nice and crispy. Kids and adults alike love this recipe! Serve warm right from the oven!
- 1 (380g) large or 2-3 small zucchini
- 1 cup hemp seeds/hearts
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole egg
- 2 egg yolks
Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice ends off zucchini. Slice in half, then slice each half into about 10 large French fries. Dry well with paper towels.
In a small blender or mini food processor, add the hemp, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt and pepper and pulse until the hemp breaks down and you’re left with crumbs the size of sand. Pour onto a plate.
Lightly whisk egg and yolks in a shallow dish. Dip zucchini into egg mixture, followed by the hemp mixture, pressing well and coating all sides.
Lay onto a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Coat tops with cooking spray.
Bake for 23-25 minutes or until golden. Serve with any whole foods based creamy dressing, our mayonnaise or a store-bought Paleo mayo.
We calculated the recipe’s macros based on using up all the ingredients, however, if you have remaining egg or topping, your macros will be lower.

When President Donald Trump announced in 2017 that the U.S. would leave the Iran nuclear deal, his administration already had a plan in place. The Trump team didn’t want to back away quietly from the accord. Instead, it wanted total economic annihilation of Tehran, the government’s military proxies, and its most powerful business sectors in order to compel the Iranians to renegotiate or to convince the people of Iran to rise up against the regime.
The White House and State Department pulled in outside experts from prominent hawkish think tanks to help. But the main architect of that policy was John Bolton. For years, Bolton had been steadfast in his strategy of maximum pressure against Tehran. And in April 2018, he found himself in a position to turn that advocacy into a reality after Trump tapped him to serve as his national security adviser.
The marriage was not to be. Though the Trump administration has increasingly adopted a hard line on Iran, the president himself gradually drifting away from the hawkish approach that Bolton personified.
Things came to a head over the last few weeks, according to two U.S. officials and three individuals involved in national security policy in the Trump administration. In conversations with the former national security adviser and others, Trump said he was considering meeting Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in September. One of the main asks by the Iranian regime for such a meeting was that the U.S. agree upfront to ease some sanctions on the country.
For Bolton, the fact that Trump was even considering the request was the final straw, according to three U.S. officials—because it was evidence that the president had lost trust in his counsel. One U.S. official told Time magazine that as Bolton and Trump talked one last time, the conversation quickly centered around the question: “Why are you meeting with Rouhani?”
On Tuesday, Trump announced that he had fired Bolton, citing disagreements “with many of his suggestions.” Bolton quickly disputed being fired, telling The Daily Beast—among other outlets—that he had offered his resignation the night before.
Whether he was forced out or left willingly merely obscures the fact that his final months on Team Trump were filled with tension, infighting, and increasingly divergent world views. The level of trust between the president and his now former national security adviser had rapidly deteriorated—to the point that President Trump had told several advisers to keep an eye on Bolton for press leaks and backstabbing.
Two senior administration officials say that in recent weeks each had directly complained to Trump—including in the Oval Office—about Bolton, and their beliefs that the foreign-policy hawk was a prolific leaker to the media, including when he would lose out on internal squabbles and policy fights. The president, the sources noted, did not explicitly agree with their suspicions, but in both cases asked the venting official to be vigilant and report back to him with anything he needed to know.
On Tuesday afternoon, Bolton messaged The Daily Beast that allegations that he was a leaker are “flatly incorrect.” But the image of him as someone who dished about internal affairs was potent enough that it was offered up by Hill Republicans as a perfectly acceptable rationale for Trump to have given him the axe.
“I like John Bolton,” said Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). “I thought he did a good job, I shared his worldview, however I think the trust was lost—there’s a view that the leaking allegation is pretty sensitive to the president.”
While Bolton may or may not have leaked, he certainly didn’t carry water, at least not to the degree that Trump famously demands. Multiple sources confirmed that the national security adviser ducked out of “soft-booked” and scheduled Sunday-show interviews over the summer explicitly because he didn’t want to defend Trump on several issues.
The points of disagreement were not small, either. Two officials told The Daily Beast that Bolton argued aggressively against the president bringing representatives from the Taliban and the Kabul government to Camp David for a formal meeting, telling Trump that the optics of bringing members of the Taliban on U.S. soil so close to 9/11 would be inappropriate. Trump ultimately canceled the meeting. But one other official said Bolton also advised him to keep U.S. troops in Afghanistan beyond the 2020 presidential election—something the president has vehemently opposed.
Bolton’s hawkish advocacy, and unbending nature, had made him enemies in the upper echelons of the administration. He departed with few senior officials willing to pat him on the back on his way out. At a press briefing on Tuesday, neither Secretary of State Mike Pompeo nor Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin showed much sadness.
“There were many times Ambassador Bolton and I disagreed,” Pompeo told reporters. “That’s to be sure, but that’s true with a lot of people with whom I interact.”
For several hours on Tuesday, Trump and his senior staff seemed to go out of their way to trash the just-departed Bolton on the record, via tweets and text messages. Bolton was more than happy to return fire in this quintessentially Trumpian flame war. At times, it devolved into an online debate between a president and his former national security adviser over whether this was a case of “you can’t fire me, I quit,” or the other way around.
The mechanics of the dismissal were of less importance to foreign policy hands than the political outcomes that would result from it. Having advocated for years for the U.S. government to get demonstrably more aggressive towards Iran, Bolton’s departure almost certainly made a diplomatic overture more likely.
“Bolton’s departure doesn’t make a Trump-Rouhani meeting on the sidelines of UNGA a foregone conclusion. But it makes it somewhat more likely. An absolute precondition for any such encounter on Iran’s side is a relaxation of U.S. sanctions,” said Robert Malley, a former member of the National Security Council under President Obama. “We know that Trump was open to such a relaxation—and that Bolton was fundamentally opposed. There are still many obstacles to the Trump-Rouhani encounter, and Iran will want a substantial price for what it deems a substantial step. But at least one of those obstacles has just been removed.”

Richmond city councilmembers violated state environmental protection law when they approved a $335 million pact to provide road improvements and emergency services for a North Richmond casino.
The November 2006 council decision approved a 20-year agreement with the developers of the Sugar Bowl, a proposed $200 million casino with 1,940 slot machines and parking for 3,500 cars.
Contra Costa Superior Court Judge Barbara Zuniga upheld her previously announced ruling against the city when she filed her decision late Tuesday, holding that the council violated the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) mandate to review a development project’s potential impacts before voting its authorization.
Zuniga said the council failed to meet CEQA requirements that called for review of actions by public agencies that have the potential for direct physical changes to the environment “or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.”
The judge noted that the agreement with the Scotts Valley Band of Pomos mentions the possibility of future but contractually limited CEQA compliance “if required,” but failed to include the CEQA-mandated consideration of an alternative where no project would be developed.
The Sugar Bowl casino project is now in the final stages of a separate federal environmental review, but the service agreement as such is not.
The lawsuit was brought by a coalition that includes Citizens for East Shore Parks, the Sustainability, Parks, Recycling and Wildlife Legal Defense Fund (SPRAWLDEF) and the Parchester Village Neighborhood Council.
The winning attorney was Richmond resident Stephan Volker, who praised the judge’s decision and said, “The city’s attempt to sidestep CEQA was both disgraceful and disrespectful of the public who would be force to live with the severe consequences of this ill-designed project.”
Volker is also one of the attorneys who has sued UC Berkeley in an effort to halt construction of a controversial stadium along the western wall of Memorial Stadium.
Unless the city appeals the decision, Richmond will have to conduct an environmental review before signing a new agreement, an often lengthy process if the city must complete a full environmental impact report.

In the Mandala view, it is in the Personal frame of life that you meet yourself and address your personal issues. This is a space for reflection, but of a particular kind, and this is where the Mandala Chart provides a unique perspective.
We spend a lot of time interacting with the things and people outside of us. We need to spend some time as well exploring the world within.
Reflection is deep thinking. Looking deep into the reflection, rather than just at the surface of the mirror. This is a space for clarity and insight, not for melancholy or self-importance. You meet yourself in the mirror, the person that has been with you from the beginning and will be with you until the end.
You may think you know yourself pretty well by now, but ask yourself deeper questions concerning your mission and core message, and you will understand the need for deeper reflection to discover your living legacy. Your personal happiness is related in part to the time you spend in front of this Mandala Mirror, and what you do about it as a result.
The Mandala Mirror is quite different from the mirror of Narcissus, the proud and self-admiring hunter of Greek mythology, who died for being unable to leave his own reflection in the water. The Greek roots of the word Narcissus mean sleep or numbness, a far cry from the clarity of self-knowledge.
Personal is an adjective. It works best when it modifies a noun, such as personal growth, personal development, personal happiness.
Personal development is about helping yourself to change in positive ways. Many books have been written in the self-help genre, but one author, Tom Butler-Bowdon, has undertaken a remarkable project which took ten years to complete, in which he read, reviewed, and summarized the essence of 50 classic books, from ancient to modern, in each of five categories. He published these in a series: 50 Self-Help Classics, 50 Success Classics, 50 Spiritual Classics, 50 Psychology Classics, and 50 Prosperity Classics.
What kind of a perspective does such a massive project give you? His selection spans world religions, cultures, philosophies, and even centuries of time. Each classic book is summarized, culling out the key points, including comments to put the author and the book in the context of why it was written. Each review includes a list of books which were influenced by that classic or share a similar view. Certainly a great deal of reflection went into the 50 classics project, and the author takes you on a reflective journey through the books of its leading lights.
Tom Butler-Bowdon spoke at the Speakers for Business Showcase 2011, at which he discussed the perspective this project gave him on such important topics as motivation and personal growth. In this talk he says he learned through this project that real personal transformation and lasting change is far more likely to come through the disciplined application of the strategies revealed in these works, rather than the emotional enthusiasm espoused by many motivational speakers in this field.
You can download a 50 Classsics PDF Mandala Chart showing the covers of his books and website which I created as an overview of his work.
Make a Wish List
The Personal frame of the Mandala Chart does not need to be used exclusively for deep reflection. It can also be used for constructive daydreaming, positive thinking, and image training to improve your condition or performance.
This is perhaps one of the most enjoyable uses of the Mandala Chart, because you get to use your imagination in the service of making yourself a better person, and living a better life. This is best achieved of course by helping and improving the lives of others. There is no happiness in hedonistic self-absorption.
But rather than drifting in fantasy, it is best to capture your wishes on a list. The Mandala Chart helps you organize your list into categories, and focus on implementation as well. Your wishes might be related to improvements in your character, behavior, or performance. The discipline of gradual improvement and repetition is also important. You don’t just wave a magic wand and expect your wish to come true.
Because presumably you will wish for things that you want, the element of pleasure and anticipation can lend just enough to incubate your wishes until they hatch. Then you can cultivate and nurture them as they grow. This is where dreams come true.

Nosler .277 150 gr Ballistic Silvertip 10 Pack
Nosler's Combined Technology Ballistic Silvertip bullet takes Nosler's Ballistic Tip technology and combines it with Winchester's Lubalox black oxide coating process.
Nosler's Combined Technology Ballistic Silvertip® bullet takes Nosler's Ballistic Tip® technology for accuracy, penetration, and controlled expansion; and combines it with Winchester's Lubalox® black oxide coating process to make every shot you fire easier on your barrel. Try it yourself, and see the difference that combined technology makes.
The primary benefit of Lubalox is reduced barrel fouling. The process creates a surface on the bullet jacket, which increases the number of shots possible between cleanings. Unlike moly-coated bullets, Lubalox-coated bullets leave the barrel residue-free and do not require barrel “seasoning”. Additionally, unlike uncoated bullets that tarnish over time, Lubalox protects the surface of the bullet jacket, keeping it looking like new.
Polymer Silvertip prevents deformation in the magazine.
Lubalox ®Exterior Coating
Reduces fouling, pressure and friction between bullet and bore; provides longer barrel life, easier cleaning and enhanced accuracy.
Fully Tapered Jacket and Special Lead-Alloy Core
Allows controlled expansion and optimum weight retention at all practical velocity levels. The heavy jacketed base prevents bullet deformation during firing.
Heavy Jacketed Base
Acts as a platform for large- diameter mushroom.
Ballistically Engineered Solid Base®
Boat tail configuration combines with the streamlined polymer tip for extreme long-range performance and for easier loading.

Shared Cities: Creative Momentum
The Department of Architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design is one of eleven partners from seven middle -European cities - in a four year project- Shared Cities: Creative Momentum that is Co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
We will identify creative opportunities and innovative solutions to contemporary problems in our cities, such as insufficient civic investment, a lack of transparency and accountability in decision-making, the cost of living or housing shortages. Everyone will have a chance to participate as the project will utilize the creative potential of residents, communities, artists, cultural actors and social scientists. The project aims to catalyze sharing of information, data, experiences, knowledge and smart tools that will improve our cities. In different words we want to activate a ‘creative momentum’ that will increase the quality of life in European cities and create shared, public spaces that inhabitants and communities will love.
The focus of the Department of Architecture in response to this programme is Iconic Ruins – buildings of cultural and social institutions that when built were projected as palaces for the multitude a concept which dictated a distinctive architecture and choice of urban location but today they are in a state of ruin. Through work collaboration with students, a lecture series and workshops, The Department of Architecture is exploring the possibilities of how these complex buildings in prominent urban relationships could be transformed once again into viable buildings without compromising their architectural qualities.
An array of public and professional events will be created by Shared Cities: Creative Momentum, over one hundred and fifty in total, encompassing festivals, films, exhibitions, workshops and artists’ residencies. They will all focus upon the project’s core themes of sharing, cultural development, urban planning and architectural visions. “These exemplary projects combine international experience with local knowledge of the conditions in Central Europe’s cities. This will be a precedent-setting and invaluable prototype for future schemes in international cultural relations, based not on mere projection of one’s ideas and culture, but on a meaningful cooperation and exchange,” added Kamil Pavelka from Czech Centres.
These events will include planning games, where architects and citizens will solve challenges together to design their ideal city. Hacking street furniture will call on artists and the public to devise creative and radical new forms and uses of street furniture. Five large-scale urban design projects will focus on captivating and contemporary issues. For example a new digital map will be created in Katowice, emanating from research about formal and informal actors related to cultural and creative industries. Bratislava will research new strategies for reviving underutilized communist era buildings, and involve public experts to develop the largest square in the Slovak capital, Námestie SNP. Budapest will focus on the development of “shared governances” and test ways that NGOs can embrace the complex process of reinvigorating a former industrial area of Csepel Island, by creating and blending online and offline means for participation. Through events, publications, exhibitions and films the consortium will also debate the merits and downsides of the sharing economy and the role of the free market and new technologies in sharing platforms that influence our daily lives in cities.
Within a curatorial lab professionals and the public will exchange ideas about how to create state-of-the-art new media in architecture and urbanism, utilize data driven design for better public engagement or about using film to convey architecture to the public in new ways. It will also address new ways to publish and display content related to this topic.
In the first quarter of the year 2017 a common web platform will be launched to kick-start this project, in addition to an annual magazine published from 2017 onwards, bringing together our work and progress. At the end of the project, a travelling exhibition and film will share the accomplishments of the four-year adventure throughout all the Partners, the worldwide network of the Goethe-Institut and Czech Centres.

Cheyenne residents are bracing for the start of the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo next week and the influx of more than 100,000 visitors.
Frontier Days officially launches on Friday, July 19, and a study of the impact of the 2018 event shows that some 105,000 people from outside Laramie County traveled to the Capitol for the event, where they spent $27.1 million on lodging, food, entertainment and other purchases.
The study prepared by Dean Runyan Associates showed that once the “multiplier effect” is factored in, Frontier Days resulted in about $35 million of business activity in Cheyenne.
All told, the 2018 rodeo saw a total of more than 247,000 tickets sold for rodeo events and nightly concerts.
The 2019 Frontier Days celebration begins at 10:30 a.m. Friday, July 19, with the Opening Day Celebration, followed by the opening of attractions such as the Indian Village, the carnival midway and the Buckin’ A Saloon.
The rodeo itself, the world’s largest outdoor rodeo, will begin Saturday.
Just in time for the rodeo’s opening, a new Cheyenne Frontier Days headquarters opened on the grounds, equipped with an area for the rodeo’s sponsor’s to watch the rodeo.
“This building has been a dream of Cheyenne Frontier Days for many years,” said Tom Hirsig, president and CEO of Frontier Days. “Sponsors expect to have nice areas, air conditioned areas, places where they can get out of the weather here at Frontier Park.”
The new building also houses CFD’s corporate offices and offers event space that can be rented by groups, he said.
“We’re excited about this.” he said. “There’s really a need for a year-round facility that will generate income and make this facility live throughout the year. This really puts us in a year-round venue that we’ve never been in before.”
The building’s construction is a needed step as Frontier Days moves into the future, Hirsig added.
“I believe we’re moving in the right direction with this building,” he said. “We’ve been in existence for 123 years and we need at least 123 more. With that comes change. Sometimes change is difficult, but I really do believe we’re on the right path.”

A joint partnership of Enterprise Community Development and Durrani Development Corp. has secured $23.1 million in financing for the development of the Alabama Avenue Apartments in Washington, D.C.’s Ward 8.
The District of Columbia Housing Finance Agency, known as DCHFA, underwrote the financing, which consists of federal and local low income housing tax credit equity.
In Ward 8, as in other neighborhoods within the nation’s capital, a dramatic need exists for larger, family-sized apartment homes. When completed, the newly built multifamily development will be a 100 percent affordable community.
With a total development cost of $49.2 million, Alabama Avenue Apartments will feature 26 three-bedroom apartment homes, 28 two-bedroom apartments and 32 one-bedroom units. Nine of the residences will be reserved for residents earning 60 percent of area median income, while 59 units will be cached for residents earning 50 percent of area median income. A remaining 18 apartments are designated as permanent supportive housing. This means they will be set aside for residents earning 30 percent or less of area median income. These renters will benefit from receiving local rental supplements.
Constructed in the Garfield Heights neighborhood of Washington, D.C., Alabama Avenue Apartments will be situated less than two miles from the Congress Heights Metro Station, and within walking distance of The Crest at Skyland Town Center, a shopping center featuring a supermarket, pharmacy and other retail outlets.
DCHFA issues tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds to lower developers’ costs associated with rental housing acquisition, construction and rehabilitation. It does so through its Multifamily Lending and Neighborhood investment and Capital Markets divisions.
Its goal is to offer for-profit and non-profit developers low-cost predevelopment, construction and permanent financing that will support the creation of affordable rental housing in the District of Columbia. Four months ago, DCHFA funded development of a $105 million affordable community in the District of Columbia.
In late February, DCHFA backed the rehabilitation of 202 affordable apartments at sites scattered across Wards 7 and 8 of the city with $43.1 million of tax exempt bonds for the acquisition and rehabilitation of a 16-building community formerly known as WDC 1. That property includes residences in the Anacostia, Marshall Heights and Fort Dupont neighborhoods. DCHFA also underwrote $33.4 million in federal low income housing tax equity and $6.4 million in D.C. local low income housing tax equity to finance the redevelopment.

The blog has been DEAD for a while, hasn’t it? Well, not to make excuses… eh… whatever, I’m going to make excuses. I’ve been consumed with moving from Illinois to Wisconsin (but hurrrrrrah for being back in my home state!) & Val has been consumed with problems/issues/annoyances at work. These issues have caused our baking projects to flat line , unfortunately. We’ll be back, bakin’ up a storm, before you know it though. Until then, I’m going to share some of my favorite links, baking supplies, and other favorite things.

My Favorite Baking Supplies
- First things first, you must buy a KitchenAid stand mixer. I know they are expensive (so ask for it for Christmas!), but they are SO worth it. They make your baking life easy and breezy and a little bit more fun (especially if you choose a cool color). Mine is yellow, my favorite happy color. If I couldn’t have yellow, I’d have turquoise. But I digress. Enough color talk.
- Disposable pastry bags. Who the hell wants to clean goopy, sticky frosting out of a re-usable bag every time? I don’t.
- Two good-quality 9″ round cake pans. And a few other crazy-shaped pans for fun (OK, I have more than a “few”, I just can’t help myself.)
- An angled spatula for frosting cakes or cupcakes. Trust me, the angle is key and somehow makes thing so much easier.
- Sprinkles sprinkles sprinkles and more sprinkles. It’s an addiction, really.
- Comfort-grip cookie cutters. They’re so much easier on your hands, especially when you have to make A LOT of cut-out cookies.
- A cookie scoop. Kind of like an ice cream scoop, but smaller. It’s nice because it allows all of your cookies to be the same size – and they’ll bake more evenly and consistently because of it.
- A microplane grater/zester. If a recipe calls for lemon zest, do it. Don’t try to use lemon juice instead…cause that’s cheating and it just won’t taste as good!
- A pastry scraper. Like this one.
- Stainless steel measuring cups. For some reason, I just think that they are better and more accurate.
So there you have it, some of my favorite baking tools and supplies. I could have written for days on this topic… :) And now, for my last section:
Yays and Nays
- Yay! Wilton is having a tent sale this summer! May 29th through June 16th in Woodridge, IL! Val and I will be there for sure.
- Yay! Martha Stewart. I don’t really care what you think of Martha on a personal level. I’m sure she can be a bit of a bitch and she’s does some shady things (like that whole going-to-prison thing). But trust me, she knows her stuff. Her brand is consistently impressive – the recipes are ALWAYS good, her line of cookware is great, and she even has a fantastic scrapbooking line out now (whee!). I own all of her books and they are my bibles, as I am relatively new to cooking and baking and still learning a lot. I will definitely be at the bookstore bright and early on June 2nd when her cupcake book is released!
- Nay! Silicon bakeware. Ugh. In theory, it seems so nice, but really, it’s so annoying. It’s hard to clean, wobbly, and just not very impressive. Stick with metal cookware and baking pans.
- Yay! Summertime. Aside from the humidity, there isn’t one thing that I don’t like about summer. And it will give me the perfect excuse to make summer-y recipes like margarita cookies….and lemon cookies… and anything with delicious, in-season fresh fruit.
That’s it. We’ll be back soon with some new recipes!

Attack on Titan is one of the most emotionally traumatic animes I have ever watched. And it is incredible.
Of course, with great success comes great controversy.
There is no getting around the fact that Attack on Titan is incredibly violent and has a lot of elements that will play with your emotions. There are a number of references to history that most people would rather forget.
But does that make it wrong?
Just Write is a YouTube channel that examines popular media in video essay form to examine things like plot structure, character development, the importance of respecting your medium, and so much more.
As a creative writer, I find these videos incredibly useful for developing my skills.

For dinner, you can expect to be in an accommodation/location with at least one option, if not many. We suggest asking the hotel staff for a recommendation on where to find delicious local fare!


The common leakage faults of coal mine motors and their power supply lines are as follows:
1 Due to damp The insulation resistance of the motor and its power supply line decreases, and the leakage current increases, so that the motor shell and the electrical shell are charged;
2 The insulation of the motor and its power supply line makes one phase due to aging, mechanical damage, or voltage breakdown. Grounding (metal grounding or arc grounding);
3 The exposed parts of the electric motor and its power supply line (such as mechanical damage or maintenance) are caused by direct contact by personnel or through tools and other conductors. One-phase grounding electric shock accident (incidental, transient).
If a leakage fault occurs, if it is not protected in time, it will have serious consequences especially in coal mines; it may cause danger to human life; it may cause gas and coal dust explosions; it may ignite the detonator in advance; The neutral point grounding system and the neutral point ungrounded system with large distributed capacitance of the system may cause the one-phase winding of the motor to be burned. For this reason, the coal mine motor and its power supply circuit, especially underground, must be protected against leakage.
The neutral point of the transformer is strictly forbidden to be grounded in the underground power supply system of coal mines in my country. The degree of harm caused by personal electric shock to human life safety mainly depends on the size of the current flowing through the human body and the length of time of action. The research results show that it is safe for the human body when the product of the current flowing through the human body and the action time is less than 50mA·s. However, considering that the current flowing through the fault point does not ignite the electric detonator and ignite gas and coal dust. Taking a certain safety factor, the Ministry of Coal Industry officially confirmed in 1975 that the product of the human body electric shock current and the time of action was 30mA·s as a safe value. Therefore, from the perspective of protecting personal electric shock safety, 30mA·s is the basis for stipulating the main technical indicators of leakage protection devices. There are three ways to achieve this target: (1) Increase the insulation resistance of the network to ground; (2) Take effective compensation measures for the distributed capacitance current of the network to ground; (3) Improve the tripping of the leakage protection device and the feeder switch The trip speed of the device.
For the personal electric shock current IR of the neutral point ungrounded system, in the case of ignoring the distributed capacitance of the grid to the ground (inductance compensation is generally used in leakage protection devices)
IR= 3U phase/3RR+r absolute
U:: line phase voltage
RR: human body resistance, the minimum value is 1 kiloohm;
r absolute: line A value of insulation resistance relative to ground.
According to IR<30 mA, it is not difficult to say that r must be greater than or equal to 35 kohms in a 660 volt power supply system, which means that when the insulation resistance of each phase is reduced to 35 kohms, the person touches one Sometimes life is in danger. The total insulation resistance of the three-phase power grid is the parallel value of the three phases (11.7 kohms). Therefore, it is stipulated that the total insulation resistance value of the 660 volt power supply system is set at 11 kohms. For power supply systems of different voltage levels, there are different values of the insulation resistance risk value, which is the action resistance value of the leakage protection setting.
For the neutral point ungrounded system, the leakage current is generally very small, and it is difficult to distinguish the fault from the normal state. Therefore, a grounded detection power supply E should be set up, such as Shown in Figure 1. When it is normal, the current signal U is extremely small, and when it leaks, the leakage signal U is large enough that it can push the subsequent trigger to achieve protection, or even directly push the sensitive relay for protection.
In order to enable the detection of all three phases, the usual approach is to connect the detection voltage E to the three-phase system through a three-phase reactor, see
Figure 2. For power frequency alternating current, three-phase reactors and zero-sequence reactors have extremely large impedances, so that the system has minimal impact on the detection section. For direct current, three-phase reactors and zero-sequence reactors have very small resistance, which does not affect the sensitivity of detection. The use of three-phase reactors and zero-sequence reactors can also play a role in compensating the capacitive current of the system, thereby reducing leakage
current through the grounding point or personal electric shock current.
Using the three-phase zero-type rectifier not only obtains the detection power supply, but also achieves the purpose of detecting all three phases. It can be used especially in low-voltage power supply systems.
The above-mentioned neutral point non-grounding system leakage protection is not selective, as long as it is the same system connected on the circuit, leakage occurs anywhere, protection They will all operate, so a leakage relay is usually set up in each independent system to achieve leakage protection. However, this method makes any leakage of electricity inevitably cause the consequences of the whole system power outage. In order to better identify the leakage point and shorten the time for handling the accident, the common practice is to add a leakage lock in the switch. From a safety point of view, leakage lock is as important as leakage protection.
The principle of leakage lock is shown in Figure 4. When the main control contactor KM is released, the system is powered off, and the leakage lock is connected to the system through the contactor normally closed contact KM1. If the system has a leakage, the system will leak. The output of signal U will ensure that the contactor KM can no longer be closed, thereby achieving lockout. After the leakage is blocked, the other parts of the power supply system can work as usual, thus narrowing the scope of identifying the fault and creating conditions for finding the fault quickly.
It is very difficult to implement selective leakage protection for the neutral point ungrounded system. Most of them only set up the leakage lock, but also can partially achieve the selective protection of leakage.
In order to reliably monitor the insulation level of the system, and in order to reliably detect and lock out various leakage accidents as much as possible, it is necessary to correctly design the detection power supply.
The principle requirement for detecting power supply is to have a certain voltage and high enough internal resistance. The general domestic voltage is 10-40 volts, and some use 100 volts. If the detection voltage is too high, it is often impossible to achieve safe sparks, and the detection sensitivity is generally independent of the detection voltage. Tests have proved that when the insulation value drops evenly when the insulation is damp, the insulation resistance is basically independent of the detection voltage, so it is advisable to use a low voltage for leakage detection. The power supply resistance is required to be high enough to reduce the detection current to ensure safety.
The leakage lock detection circuit is turned on when the switch is not working. Usually, the main contacts of the switch are switched on at the same time, but because the main contacts are switched off, there is an arc on, or the motor will have residual magnetic potential within 1-3 seconds due to continuous rotation. If the leakage lock detection circuit is switched on at the same time , Then the above-mentioned high voltage will enter the detection circuit, causing undue damage. For this purpose: a. Add a delay relay to delay the operation of the leakage detection circuit, usually the delay time is 2-3 seconds; b. The detection circuit design has a self-protection function, which can suppress or block the high voltage when the high voltage enters. Voltage, so as to protect its own circuit components from damage. Both of these methods are used, the latter can save a delay relay, but the circuit design requirements are higher.
The installation of leakage lock in the electromagnetic starter only needs single-phase detection, because the detected objects generally include three-phase motors, which are connected through the three-phase stator winding, especially for DC detection voltage. It is equivalent to a direct short circuit, so there is no need for three-phase detection. Three-phase detection should still be considered for the leakage lock installed in the feed switch.
Considering that within a power supply system protected by a leakage relay, there may be 2-3 devices with reduced insulation resistance at the same time. In order to ensure that the leakage relay can still be turned on after the equipment is opened and closed, the blocking resistance must be determined to be 2-3 times the operating resistance of the leakage relay (that is, the above-mentioned dangerous value of the insulation resistance). Of course, if the underground electromechanical management level is high and the insulation level can be maintained frequently, the blocking resistance value can be appropriately increased, otherwise it can only be lowered accordingly. Otherwise, the switch is often blocked and the equipment cannot operate normally, which will also affect production p>

NAPLES - Click below for player profile pages of Collier and south Lee baseball players in the pros:
After dominating the Appalachian League for six weeks, Estero graduate Zach See earned a call-up to Single-A Beloit last week.
It's his first stint on a full-season minor-league squad, having played for the short-season Gulf Coast Twins last year before his stint at Elizabethton.
See has appeared in two games for the Beloit Snappers, allowing five earned runs on three hits in 31⁄3 innings. Four of those runs came in his first appearance, while he was much better in his second outing. He retired three of the four hitters he faced Tuesday against Burlington, although the one hit he surrendered was a solo homer.
See was 5-0 with a 1.37 ERA at Elizabethton, striking out 25 in 192⁄3 innings. See has yet to lose in his pro career, as he was 2-0 with an 0.69 ERA last year for the GCL Twins.
Cape Coral's Stevens finds his niche: Cape Coral graduate Jake Stevens has experienced quite a bit of ups and downs in his professional baseball career. A third-round draft pick by the Atlanta Braves in 2003, Stevens was on the fast track to apparent stardom, dominating in his first two pro stops. He seemed to hit a wall in 2005 with Class A-Advanced Myrtle Beach, spending most of the next three seasons there before deciding he had enough, temporarily retiring from the game.
After a year way, Stevens returned last year when the Baltimore Orioles signed him to a minor-league deal. He spent the season at Class A-Advanced Frederick, where he went 5-6 with a 4.42 ERA in 34 appearances. Despite giving up 65 hits in 59 innings, the San Francisco Giants saw something they liked in Stevens when they selected him in the minor-league phase of the Rule V draft this past offseason.
Stevens has been superb in Double-A this season. Pitching for the Richmond Flying Squirrels (where he is a teammate of former Barron Collier standout Andy D'Alessio), Stevens is 4-2 with a 2.11 ERA in 38 games. A 6-2, 215-pound lefty, Stevens may have found his niche as a setup man. He's dominated lefty hitters all season, holding them to a paltry .123 average and no home runs. Conversely, righties are hitting .287 with three homers off the 25-year-old southpaw.
Major league debuts, returns: In a span of four days, three local players were called up to big-league teams. Former FGCU and Cape Coral-Mariner standout Casey Coleman was the first, as the Cubs summoned him Sunday night to help their beleaguered bullpen. Coleman struggled in his debut Monday, allowing six earned runs on eight hits in 21⁄3 innings of an 18-1 loss to Milwaukee.
Two days later, former FGCU star Chris Sale was called up by the Chicago White Sox. The 13th overall pick in this year's draft, Sale was the first player from the 2010 draft to receive a call-up to the big leagues. Sale appeared in his first game Friday, facing a pair of hitters without recording an out in a 2-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. Sale entered the game in the eighth inning, walking Brian Roberts on four pitches and giving up a two-strike single to Nick Markakis. Tony Pena entered the game and eventually escaped the jam. Sale threw seven pitches, all fastballs, topping out at 96 on the radar gun.
And finally, Chris Resop made his return to the major leagues with his fourth team. After being placed on waivers by the Braves earlier in the week, Resop was claimed by the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. He tossed a perfect inning in his Pirates debut, striking out Ian Stewart on three pitches to end a 5-1 win over the Colorado Rockies.
