For a long time, the man born Wesley Stace was John Wesley Harding. Taking his stage name from the title of Bob Dylan’s 1967 record, the singer-songwriter crafted a superb series of albums. Those releases covered a great deal of musical territory; although he’s firmly rooted in the folk troubadour idiom, Stace/Harding is a storyteller par excellence, a witty raconteur and a winning songwriter with a knack for memorable words and music.
His debut was 1988’s “It Happened One Night,” a one-man live performance featuring seventeen songs. Harding’s lyrics and delivery combined intelligence and cleverness delivered in a warm, intimate, impassioned style. The performance features songs that would reappear—in full band arrangements—on his major-label debut, 1990’s “Here Comes the Groom.” That record hammered home the effectiveness with which Harding could craft lyrics. Highlights include the impossibly witty “The Devil in Me,” the tradition-minded “The Red Rose and the Briar” and a rousing closing track, “Bastard Son.”
Within a series of EPs came 1991’s “The Name Above the Title,” a collection of songs that equaled or bettered the debut: no sophomore slump for Harding. “Why We Fight” (1992) didn’t set the charts on fire, but it contained some of Harding’s best work, including several songs that pack a wallop. “Kill the Messenger” and “The Truth” are as emotionally charged as Dylan at his fieriest. But Harding has long had an optimistic streak that leavens his darker works, steering him clear of cynicism. The album closer, “Come Gather Round,” is an uptempo tune that ranks among his best.
Harding/Stace is prolific, releasing fan-club sets, some using the clever anagram “Dynablob.” On those—as on his regular releases—he shows that in addition to being a top-flight songwriter, he’s an inventive interpreter of the works of others. And those others aren’t always the usual suspects: Prince, Tommy James and others get the JWH treatment.
By the mid-nineties, Harding released his music on a succession of smaller independent labels. The prospect of large-scale success seemed to have faded. But the quality of his work diminished not a bit. While he would record and perform as a solo artist, he would return to the rock format, as showcased on a 2009 collaboration with The Minus Five, “Who Was Changed and Who Was Dead.” A standout track on “The Sound of His Own Voice” (2011) is the wry “There’s a Starbucks (Where the Starbucks Used to Be).”
His most recent release, “Greatest Other People’s Hits” (2018, Omnivore Recordings), again shows what the man can do with the songs of others. Aided by an assortment of friends, the highlights include a reading of “Satellite of Love” with its composer Lou Reed, Madonna’s “Like a Prayer,” Bruce Springsteen’s “Jackson Cage” and a track that appeared decades ago on a Roky Erickson tribute LP, “If You Have Ghosts.”
Despite the quality of his recorded output, the best way to experience Wesley Stace—as he’s increasingly known—is live onstage. His rapport with the audience is a thing to behold, whether he has a guitar or not. His peerless emceeing of the 2012 Yep Roc 15 festival made that clear. And onstage, he adds context to his music with between-tunes banter that’s as entertaining as the songs.
Stace’s keen observational lyrics showcase his ability to, if not predict the future, then make connections others have missed. For example, an early track, “When the Beatles Hit America,” foretold the “Anthology” project of the nineties, and even predicted that Paul, George and Ringo would work with ELO’s Jeff Lynne! And another song (never officially released) explains—by citing song titles—the manner in which ABBA plotted to take over the world. Both songs are exemplars of the combination of passion, humor and intelligence that mark the work of this underappreciated modern-day troubadour.

The excavation of the pyramid in Iztapalapa, a neighborhood on the east side of Mexico City, astonished the local residents. "People just couldn't believe there was a pyramid there," archaeologist Jesus Sanchez said. Now, however, the people are proud of the find and help to preserve the artifacts.
Archaeologists have decided not to excavate the site completely, in order to avoid disrupting the Christian rites, which began in 1833 in the wake of a cholera epidemic. The pyramid is believed to have been abandoned nearly a thousand years earlier.

Flagstaff experienced a $ 5 million to $ 15 million drop in sales due to COVID-19.
Those were the numbers presented to Flagstaff city council this week as city officials looked at what the rest of the year might look like.
It's not an easy task, said Rick Tadder, director of management services. With the situation regarding COVID-19 and economic recovery remaining unclear, it is difficult to predict how much revenue the city can generate this fiscal year.
If the economy produces a strong return, the city could only lose about $ 260,000, Tadder said. However, if the recovery slowly rebounds and revenues decline across the board, Flagstaff could see income losses of up to $ 15,100,000.
And that is the money that is used to pay the salaries of city staff, police officers, firefighters, infrastructure improvements and city facilities.
"I believe things can get difficult, but because we have such a good plan and monitor it, I know without a doubt we can weather the storm," said Corst Evans, Flagstaff Mayor.
The city has been in the “significant” phase of its recession plan since May, triggered by a possible drop in sales of up to 10%. At this stage of the plan, the city has frozen hiring on most vacancies, delayed capital purchases, curtailed some city services, and laid off some employees.

Rated 5 out of 5 by kalli Great Accessory!
I had been very undecided which accessory to wear for my wedding. In fact, I bought a couple of tiaras. Then I saw this piece and tried it on with a veil. Had to purchase this! It's gorgeous, feminine, sparkly, without being too over-powering. It's simple, but elegant. Love this headband! It really is just the right amount of sparkle! This is my favorite piece from David's Bridal I have tried on.

This was the perfect headband for my wedding. It was simple yet very elegant and fit perfectly with my updo. I did not need to use anything to hold it in place and it stayed there the entire night. This is great for someone that doesn't want to wear a tiara but still wants the look of wearing something beautiful in your hair. I did not wear a veil either so it really was the perfect and must have accessory!

|Next up are some small pvc toys featuring
characters from Ranma 1/2. The figures measure only about two and a half
inches tall. Either one of the two human characters can fit onto the pink
star shaped base. I suppose Ranma is the best bet to go in the base because
he cannot stand up without it.
Check out the artwork though. Pretty nifty drawings of Ranma and company on both the front and back of the package.
|This is the top of the card and the card back.|
| The PVC Figures.
These figures were probably taken
off of keychain molds. I say this only because a couple of these toys have
holes that look like a keychain holder might have gone through them. Not
only that, the figures are just the right size for keychains.
Here are some more of the same Ranma 1/2 figures only they are packaged different. These toys come on a blue card that has some nice little water drops in the background. Also, there is more artwork that is probably taken from the Ranma 1/2 series. The back of the card for these figures is just plain cardboard.

Biden issues first veto of presidency, rejecting GOP-led bill to reverse investing rule
Washington — President Biden issued the first veto of his presidency on Monday, rejecting a bill that would have nixed a Department of Labor rule that gives room for retirement plan managers to consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in their investment decisions.
“There is extensive evidence showing that environmental, social, and governance factors can have a material impact on markets, industries, and businesses,” Mr. Biden said in a statement announcing the veto. “But the Republican-led bill would force retirement managers to ignore these relevant risk factors, disregarding the principles of free markets and jeopardizing the life savings of working families and retirees. In fact, this bill would prevent plan fiduciaries from taking into account factors like the physical risks of climate change and poor corporate governance, that could affect investment returns.”
Republicans have heavily criticized the rule and say ESG investing practices that take into account issues like climate change unfairly penalize industries like the oil and gas sectors.
The president said retirement fund managers “should be able to consider any factor that maximizes financial returns for retirees across the country.”
The resolution was introduced in the GOP-led House by Republican Rep. Andy Barr and passed in late February, with one Democrat joining Republicans in supporting it. The Senate soon voted 50 to 46 to overturn the rule, with Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin and Jon Tester joining Republicans in support.
Mr. Biden has yet to say whether he will sign a measure that would declassify information related to the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic. The House and Senate both passed that measure unanimously.
House GOP leaders intend to hold a vote on overriding the president’s veto, which would require the support of two thirds of both chambers.
“President Biden’s first veto is against a bipartisan bill that protects retirement savings from political interference,” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said in a statement. “It is clear that President Biden wants Wall Street to use your hard-earned money not to grow your savings, but to fund a far-left political agenda. That will hurt seniors and workers, especially after President Biden’s reckless spending caused record inflation and rapid interest rate hikes.”

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — As of now we don’t know, or at least no one is saying, exactly what it was that was shot down over Lake Huron. There are many more questions than answers and that extends to members of Congress from around West Michigan.
U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Zeeland, says there hasn’t been an “adequate answer” to if this is something new or something that has been ongoing but since it wasn’t detected by the public, the government didn’t bother to tell us.
“…Even if there is an answer to that, that may be a classified setting and there’s a responsibility I think here that this administration and the DOD and others have to figure out without compromising techniques, how do the reassure citizenry, how do the reassure us in Congress that represents the constituents, right? And that’s part of, frankly, those unanswered questions, or unsatisfactorily answered questions that many of us have,” Huizenga said.
U.S. Rep. Hillary Scholten, D-Grand Rapids, says she is also looking for answers that she has been unable to find.
“We’re actively working to get answers to those questions. What it was, was (it) actually an octagonal object and one of the reasons that is concerning is that those objects are notoriously difficult for radars to pick up, the octagonal shape in particular,” she said. “We don’t know yet the source, we don’t know the purpose. We don’t even know if it had surveillance capabilities. Those are questions that I am actively working to get answers to.”
And since this eight-sided object is yet to be referred to by official Washington as a balloon, U.S. Rep. John Moolenaar, R-Midland, says it’s unclear if we could conclude that this was something other than a balloon.
“I don’t know that we can conclude at this point because we clearly know the first one last week was a balloon. This was described as an object. It’s not clear at this point what was propelling it. There could have been something inside, another container but we’ll know more as it develops,” he said.
All three representatives say they want answers and they want public answers as to what these items are that are floating in U.S. airspace and what will be done about future such incursions.

SUPERMARKETS including Iceland and Tesco have announced special store hours for NHS staff so they can access food and essentials during the coronavirus epidemic.
It comes after one nurse made a tearful plea to fellow shoppers to stop stockpiling food and essentials after ending her 48-hour shift to find supermarket shelves empty.
⚠ Read our coronavirus live blog for the latest news & updates
Stores have been placed under extreme demand during the coronavirus outbreak as customers empty them of items including cleaning products, pasta and toilet roll.
While some supermarkets are now limiting the amount of each item shoppers can buy to try and make sure everyone has access to their products.
Supermarkets have already announced dedicated hours for elderly customers so they can shop away from crowds – we’ve rounded up what each store is doing here.
Here’s what they’re doing to help NHS staff.
Which supermarkets have special hours for NHS staff?
- Aldi: Aldi has yet to announce any dedicated hours just for NHS workers. We’ve asked the supermarket if it has anything planned and we’ll update this article when we know more.
- Asda: Similarly, Asda hasn’t unveiled any special hours for NHS staff. We’ll update this article when we find out if the grocer has anything in store for the future.
- Co-op: Co-op has announced a special shopping hour for NHS staff, everyday for the first hour of trading. The dedicated hour is 8am to 9pm, Monday to Saturdays, and 10am and 11am on Sundays, in all stores. It won’t be closing off stores to other customers during these times, but said it’ll be prioritising NHS workers and vulnerable customers.
- Iceland: No special hours have been unveiled for NHS staff in Iceland stores. We’ve asked the supermarket to let us know if this changes.
- Lidl: Lidl hasn’t announced any dedicated hours for NHS workers. The Sun has asked Lidl if it has anything planned.
- M&S: M&S is reserving the first hour of opening in every store for NHS workers, every Tuesday and Friday. It’s not clear if other shoppers will be allowed to browse during these hours.
- Morrisons: No dedicated hours for NHS staff have been announced by Morrisons. We’ll update this article if this changes.
- Sainsbury’s: Sainsbury’s is reserving 8am to 9am in stores, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for NHS and social care workers, alongside elderly and vulnerable customers.
- Tesco: Every Sunday, all Tesco stores (except Express stores) will prioritise a browsing hour before checkouts open for NHS workers. It’s not clear if other customers can shop at the same time.
- Waitrose: Waitrose hasn’t announced special hours, but said it’ll set aside a proportion of hard-to-find items exclusively for NHS staff.
Which supermarkets have rationing limits in place?
The following supermarkets have started limiting the number of products each customer can buy to try and reduce stockpiling.
- Aldi: Two items per person across popular products including nappies, toilet roll and kitchen roll.
- Asda: Three items per person across all products.
- Co-op: Two items per customer on popular products including toilet paper, soap and UHT milk.
- Lidl: Four items per person on household essentials, including cleaning products, tinned goods, pasta and rice.
- M&S: No item limits in place.
- Morrisons: Limits in place on cleaning products, including two hand sanitisers per customer and six bottles of bleach per shoppers.
- Sainsbury’s: Three items per person across all products.
- Tesco: Three items per person across all products.
- Waitrose: Limits on anti-bacterial products online, including four soaps and four wipes per shopper.
Supermarkets are struggle to deal with coronavirus demands as shoppers are being given “weird” alternatives in deliveries.
Meanwhile, Lidl is hiring 2,500 temporary workers and wages start from £9.30 an hour.
Aldi and Asda are taking on 14,000 staff to help with coronavirus demand.

Most future home owners can manage to mortgage a property even in the event it costs between 2 and 2.5 times the gross of the earnings. Under this specific formula, somebody who is making $200,000 every year are able to afford a home loan as much as $500,000.
The borrower needs to consider various factors in the end, when making the decision to acquire a property. First, the debtor should be aware of exactly exactly what the loan provider thinks the borrower are able and just just what size of home financing the lending company is prepared to offer. Formulas are accustomed to get a basic concept in regards to what size home loan a client can handle. More to the point, the borrower should assess funds and choices when creating your decision. Once you understand the home loan size that may be handled also assists the borrow slim down the playing field in order that valuable time is certainly not squandered in touring homes that are out from the budget range.
Debt-to-Income Ratios That Lenders Use
There are many ratios that loan providers think about whenever determining how money that is much individual can borrow for a home loan. In this, it really is good to understand what facets loan providers start thinking about whenever determining just exactly how money that is much provide.
- The portion of annual revenues that is focused on making the mortgage every month is named the Front-end Ratio. Four elements make up the homeloan payment, that are: interest, major, insurance, and fees. A broad guideline is the fact that these products must not meet or exceed 28% associated with the borrower’s income that is gross. Nonetheless, the borrower is allowed by some lenders to go beyond 30% plus some also enable 40%.
- The debt-to-income ratio, that is also known as the “Back-End Ratio” figures just what percentage of earnings is needed to protect debts. The mortgage is roofed during these debts as are child support, car payments, other loans, and charge cards. The debt-to-income ratio should maybe not go beyond 36% associated with the revenues. Exactly exactly How debt that is monthly determined is the fact that revenues is increased by 0.36 after which split by 12. In areas which have greater house rates, it is extremely difficult to remain within 36per cent, so there are lenders that enable the debt-to-income ratio to get because high as 45%. A greater ratio, however, can raise the rate of interest, therefore a less home that is expensive function as the better option. It’s important for the debtor to attempt to reduce debt whenever possible before searching for a home loan. This can help to reduce the debt-to-income ratio.
- Many loan providers need a down payment of around 20% associated with cost of your home. This minimizes the home home loan insurance coverage (PMI) needs, but may lenders do enable buyers to get smaller down payments to their home. Nevertheless, with a advance payment of 20% or greater, the debtor may not have to own home loan insurance coverage. The advance payment comes with a visible impact regarding the month-to-month mortgage repayment as well as on the front-end and back-end of this loan. More costly houses can be bought with bigger down re payments.
Personal Criteria: Determining Just How Much Mortgage You Can Afford
The debtor must look into individual requirements whenever buying a property aside from the requirements of this bank when determining what sort of home loan could be afforded. Although someone could be approved for the specific home loan amount, that certainly doesn’t mean the re payments may be covered. The next is personal requirements to take into consideration combined with requirements regarding the loan providers:
- The power for the debtor to pay for mortgage repayments 1000.00 payday loans depends upon income. Concerns to take into account are whether or otherwise not two incomes are expected to pay for bills, exactly how stable the present work is, and how effortless it will be to locate another work in the event that present task is lost.
- The debtor must ask if they’re ready to make changes in life style to be able to pay the house. If tightening the spending plan will likely not affect life style, then having a higher back-end ratio may be what you want. If you can find small things in the budget which can be too crucial that you eradicate, it may be easier to simply just take a far more approach that is conservative.
- The back-end ration contains all the present debts, but there might be debts which come about as time goes on which are not considered within the ration that is back-end. Doing things such as for example investing in a car that is new watercraft, or a kid that will attend university are facts to consider.
- Then there clearly was the borrower’s personality. Many people are far more comfortable creating a payment that is specific than the others.
Before agreeing to a certain loan, make sure you look around to obtain the rate that is best, as tiny variations in rates of interest can cause thousands of cost savings throughout the lifetime of financing. Listed here interactive table shows present neighborhood price information.
Cash you shall spend Beyond the Home Loan
Whenever finding out simply how much of the re payment one could manage, there are various other expenses that has to aside be considered through the home loan. These addition obligations that are financial be:

Qualtrics International (NASDAQ:XM)which bills itself as the leader and creator of the experience management (XM) category, is expected to report its fourth quarter and full year 2021 results after market close on Wednesday, January 26. A conference call with analysts is scheduled to follow at 5 p.m. ET.
Qualtrics has comfortably beaten Wall Street earnings estimates in the four quarters it has released since its initial public offering (IPO) in January 2021. Indeed, in the last quarter, it even posted a surprise adjusted profit as well as an acceleration in analyst earnings forecasts. . (The company’s IPO was a spinoff from the German software giant SAPwhich retained a majority stake.)
Given that track record, investors are likely optimistic that Qualtrics will release another quarterly report that tops Street’s consensus estimate. However, even better than expected results and forecasts do not necessarily mean that the stock will rise after the release. Tech stocks have been under pressure recently due to the expectation that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates several times this year.
As for the stock, it closed at $26.38 on Tuesday, January 18. That’s just a slight drop from its IPO price of $30, but down significantly – 37% – from its opening price of $41.85 on the first day of trading.
Here’s what to watch for in Qualtrics’ upcoming Q4 report.
Qualtrics Quarterly Key Figures
|Metric||Q4 2020 result||Qualtrics Guidance for Q4 2021||Wall Street consensus estimate for the fourth quarter of 2021||The Projected Change of Wall Street|
$296 million to $298 million
Adjusted earnings (loss) per share
($0.04) at ($0.02)
|($0.02)||N / A|
Qualtrics revenue will grow in the fourth quarter thanks to its $1.1 billion acquisition of Clarabridge, which closed on October 1, 2021. Clarabridge is said to be a leader in omnichannel conversational analytics.
For context, in the third quarter, Qualtrics’ total sales increased 41% year-over-year to $271.6 million, driven by a 49% increase in subscription revenue at 220, $3 million.
For the third quarter, net loss under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) was $286 million, or $0.56 per share, compared to net loss of $85.7 million, or $0.20 per share. share, at the same time last year. Adjusted for one-time items, net income was $5.9 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of $0.4 million, or $0.00 (break-even) per share, in the quarter of the previous year.
Wall Street was looking for an adjusted value loss of $0.02 per share on revenue of $258.2 million. Thus, Qualtrics’ third quarter results easily exceeded both expectations. He also ran under his own guidelines, which targeted income between $257 million and $259 million and an adjusted loss per share of between $0.03 and $0.01.
Besides the usual numbers or headlines, investors should also focus on key customer metrics. Management discussed these measures during the earnings call.
Last quarter, the number of customers spending more than $100,000 in annual recurring revenue increased 38% year over year to 1,668 customers. And Qualtrics’ net dollar retention rate was 125%. This means that existing customers have increased their spend on the company’s offerings by an average of 25% over the prior year.
The market’s reaction to Qualtrics’ earnings release will likely depend more on the forecast than on the fourth quarter results.
Wall Street currently forecasts first-quarter revenue to rise 32% year-over-year to $314.7 million. Adjusted for one-time items, analysts expect a loss of $0.01, compared to a profit of $0.01 a year earlier.

Yes, it remains hard to deny that the men’s U.S. Open is almost certainly going to be won by one of only three players, and that the drama of the tournament is reduced to a certain degree by that reality.
Yes, the men’s U.S. Open and other present-day men’s majors are events in which the first five rounds form a prelude to the final two rounds, when the big boys play for keeps and the pretenders are ushered to the little kiddie table.
Yet, it is still true — and will always be true — that not every tennis player is measured by major titles. Not every career has to be evaluated through the prism of trophies, especially in Melbourne, Paris, SW19, or New York.
No, plenty of careers can find great validation and satisfaction by making the second week of a major, or by finding a ray of light in a dark time. The achievement might not seem spectacular to the outside world, which is naturally focused on who will lift the U.S. Open trophy, but for the person himself — and his team — making the second week of a major can be a very big deal.
It should be.
Saturday, then, was a day for pride, for old soldiers carrying on and being rewarded for their perseverance and staying power.
Gael Monfils discussed how winning matches at a major tournament was necessary to cover expenses fo himself and his team:
In my case to earn minimum 100k NET, you have to reach 4th round (maybe 3rd, deepening on the expenses ) but as usual people twist the answer and make up stories . Maybe my answer was not clear enough . I will make sure I’ll be clear next time.
— Gael Monfils (@Gael_Monfils) August 29, 2019
Monfils has certainly covered those expenses now, after beating Denis Shapovalov in a match which delighted fans and impressed analysts such as Tennis With An Accent contributor Mert Ertunga:
— Mert Ertunga (@MertovsTDesk) September 1, 2019
Monfils was playing the best tennis of his career when he got hurt at Indian Wells and gave Dominic Thiem a walkover in the quarterfinals. Monfils could have allowed this bad luck to keep him down, but instead, he forged ahead.
He now has a golden chance to make a major semifinal. The man he will play next in the fourth round is another survivor of tennis, a man for whom a fourth round at a major feels like a major title.
Pablo Andujar, like Monfils, is 33 years old. (Monfils turned 33 on Sunday.) The Spaniard has endured multiple elbow surgeries and fought a war with his own body, something Monfils and other athletes can relate to. He could have walked away from the sport, tired from its punishment — no one would have blamed him.
Yet, here he is, sticking around not only in terms of not retiring, but in terms of staying in the field at the U.S. Open. His fourth-round paycheck will compensate for a lot of the expenses he has accumulated. Much more than that, Andujar has realized — directly — that he can still be a factor in men’s tennis.
That means the world to someone who has given as much of his mind, body and soul to tennis as Pablo Andujar has.
Then consider Marin Cilic. For a man who has won the U.S. Open and made major finals at Wimbledon and the Australian Open, the fourth round of a major is not cause for a ticker-tape parade. Yet, after the very low valleys Cilic has walked through in 2019, a fourth round — under the current circumstances — feels like an achievement and not a ho-hum occurrence not worthy of commentary.
Yes, a fourth round is just a bus stop on a destination to bigger things for the Big 3, but for Cilic and other veteran tennis players, it can take on more meaning than one might think.
Even on the WTA side, Saturday was “Veterans Day.” Julia Goerges, who — like Cilic — is 30 years old, reached the fourth round of a major after a relatively quiet year at these big tournaments and, for that matter, the larger WTA Tour. Goerges made her first major semifinal a year ago at Wimbledon. She wasn’t able to immediately build on that, but this round of 16 result in New York — with the chance to go even deeper into the tournament — is a bright, shining light with a message of hope and affirmation for Goerges.
Monfils. Andujar. Cilic. Goerges. Four players in their 30s all received powerful statements from the spot of tennis on Saturday at the U.S. Open. The statements were the same: You have been rewarded for your perseverance. Savor this.

Minneapolis residents have likely witnessed at least one near-miss accident involving a car and pedestrian. Car and pedestrian accidents often result when either or driver or a pedestrian fails to abide by traffic laws. As one would imagine, car and pedestrian accidents often result in a pedestrian suffering serious injuries, the severity of which may not always be readily apparent. A recent analysis released by the Star Tribune proves just how dangerous some Minneapolis intersections are for pedestrians.
In the span of just three years, from 2010 to 2013, some 900 car and pedestrian accidents were reported in Minneapolis. Of these accidents, nine resulted in a pedestrian’s death and nearly one quarter were hit-and-run accidents. Using accident report data, Star Tribune analysts were able to pinpoint the locations of some of the city’s most dangerous intersections.
Not surprisingly, the three most dangerous intersections are all in densely populated areas which are considered transportation hubs and therefore frequently congested with both motor vehicles and pedestrians. With 11 reported injuries in the span of three years, the intersection where Nicollet and Franklin Avenues meet is statistically the city’s most dangerous intersection. Following closely behind with nine reported injuries both, are the intersections at Lake St. and Blaisdell Ave. and Lake St. and Lyndale Ave.
The majority, or 304, of the 900 car and pedestrian accidents involved cases in which a pedestrian was obeying traffic laws and crossing with a traffic signal. Also, in 359 of the accidents, a driver’s failure to yield to a pedestrian contributed to the accident.
Pedestrians who are hit by a car or other motor vehicle may suffer injuries that are painful and debilitating in nature. An individual may need to be hospitalized which frequently results in costly medical bills and lost wages. For these reasons, individuals in this unfortunate situation may choose to turn to an attorney for advice on how to recover damages and compensation.

Stony Brook Volleyball has won three consecutive America East Conference games to start its conference schedule, playing to the potential expected of the defending champions. The Seawolves’ latest victory came in Durham, New Hampshire against the New Hampshire Wildcats, winning 3-1 on Sunday, Sept. 30.
“This is a big conference win for our group,” head coach Kristin Belzung said in a press release. “You could see the determination to get it from the start.”
The win over New Hampshire was the first since 2012 and is the fifth-straight win for Stony Brook. The victory served as proof that the Seawolves’ well-disciplined veterans could successfully counter an aggressive offense.
“We put a big emphasis on defense this week and it was the defense that allowed our offense to have success today,” Belzung said. “New Hampshire really keyed on shutting our middles down, and our pins rose to the opportunity to have some seams to attack through.”
Stony Brook jumped out to a 13-4 lead it would not concede in the first set. New Hampshire’s frontcourt was erratic in the set and floundered with a .065 hitting percentage with six attack errors. The Seawolves took advantage of the Wildcats’ disorganization and scored their last three points off attack and ball handling errors, winning the first set 25-15.
New Hampshire regrouped in the second set but it was still not enough to overcome the momentum of the game, which favored Stony Brook. The Seawolves battled back to take a 13-11 lead despite giving up seven points on attack and ball handling errors in the second set. New Hampshire cut the Stony Brook lead to one, but junior middle blocker Kendra Harlow swatted a ball off two Wildcats’ defenders to hand Seawolves the 25-23 set victory.
Although Stony Brook managed to hold onto the second set win, it was clear New Hampshire found a remedy to fix its weaknesses. The Wildcats forced the Seawolves to commit defensive errors and found holes between the backcourt to score into. Wildcats senior middle blocker Gabri Olhava shut down a Seawolves comeback attempt with back-to-back kills to take the set 25-21 and snap a Stony Brook 14-set winning streak that began on Saturday, Sept. 16 against Colgate.
Both teams traded early leads in the fourth set but a service ace by America East Setter of the Week, junior LeAnne Sakowicz, gave Stony Brook a lead that it held for the remainder of the game. Senior middle blocker McKyla Brooks and junior outside hitter Jordan Gels teamed up to combine for five of the Seawolves’ last 10 points as they took the set 25-19 and the game 3-1.
Brooks and Gels led Stony Brook on the attack with 13 kills each. Junior outside hitter Maria Poole continued her impressive performance after being named the America East Player of the Week for the first time in her collegiate career, finishing with 12 kills and two blocks. Olhava dominated the attack throughout the afternoon with three blocks and 19 kills, the most from either team.
The Seawolves will return to Stony Brook to host their first conference game this season against the Albany Great Danes on Friday, Oct. 5. The contest will be the first time the teams play each other since the Seawolves defeated the then No.1-ranked Great Danes in three sets at Albany last postseason.
“We are excited to return home to face Albany on Friday and would love to see Pritchard packed with red,” Belzung said.
The game is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m.

Forget England vs Germany or Federer vs Nadal. The real championship lies in my kitchen: brownie vs brownie. Can you think of a more delicious matchup? Over the past two weeks, I've tried two new recipes for brownies, both completely different, but both completely friendly. The first comes from all recipes UK and is quite peculiar. The "binding" agent in place of eggs is simply oil (they suggest vegetable, I used canola/rapeseed). This makes from some seriously gooey brownies, but they're best eaten with a spoon rather than in a square - forget trying to create nice little slices.
The second comes from a book I haven't used very much but somehow I ended up with two copies. I took that as a strong sign. The book is how to cook for food allergies by Lucinda Bruce-Gardyne and is full of family- and child-friendly recipes. Perhaps that's why I haven't used it before - most of the recipes seemed to be a bit safe and basic. That is fine, and very useful for someone who isn't used to cooking for a restricted diet. In fact, I do recommend this book - it is highly user friendly with little tabs in the recipes to signify where the egg-free or gluten-free options come in. But overall, I wouldn't say this is my favorite allergy cookbook. The brownie recipe, however, intrigued me, so I went with it: it's also one of the first 100% gluten-free recipes I've made in a while, using gluten-free flour mix instead of spelt flour. It's also free of dairy, soy, and eggs, naturally!
So take your pick - I can recommend both recipes if you're an allergy or intolerance sufferer desperate for some chocolatey goodness.
Please note my friend Suzanne's AWESOME and FANCY camera work above!
Recipe from allrecipes.co.uk - makes 12 brownies
- 250g spelt flour
- 350g demerara sugar
- 65g plain cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 250ml water
- 250ml canola oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Heat the oven to gas mark 4 and grease a 9x13 inch baking tin.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour (sifted), sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. pour in the water, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Mix until well blended. Spread evenly into the baking tin.
- Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until the top is no longer shiny. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting and serving. Ice cream (dairy-free of course) is a perfect addition.
Rich Chocolate Brownies
From how to cook for food allergies by Lucinda Bruce-Gardyne - makes 12 brownies
- 110g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), broken into small pieces
- 85g coconut oil
- 150ml brown rice syrup
- 110g self-raising gluten-free flour mix (I used doves farm)
- 1 heaped tsp baking powder
- 50ml rice milk (or other non-dairy milk)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- Heat oven to gas mark 4. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, making sure the paper stands up about 1 inch above the tin.
- Melt the coconut oil, chocolate, and brown rice syrup in a medium saucepan. Stir continuously until melted.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together into a mixing bowl.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture and the milk onto the dry ingredients and quickly mix until the batter is smooth. Pour into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture is just set in the middle. Be careful not to overcook them as they won't be as squidgy and fudgey. Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before cutting.

Elderly woman’s hands – Bangkok, city of angels
Originally uploaded by Sailing “Footprints:
Real to Reel” (Ronn ashore)
Last year I was able to come up with 30 poems in 30 days for National Poetry Month. Like the year before it was a great exercise in producing new work, staying focused on one project and still getting on with the rest of my life.
I’ll be going for the 30/30 again but this time I’ll split it up into a couple of different projects
– new poems from my Berkeley City College writing assignments
– continuing last year’s Urban RelaciÃ³n series (previously known as Anything to Declare) which went from poem #26 to poem #32 in the last day of April 2009. It’s going to be interesting to come up with the five missing poems
– putting Urban RelaciÃ³n into a chapbook which I intend to bring with me to NYC for the upcoming Acentos Festival
– continuing to beef up Anywhere Avenue and see if I can add more music, faces and women to my current ms
The last point has become apparent to me when reading through my work.Â It’s heavily populated by men and the few women who do appear are very sanctified, converted to mother figure in the city and subsequently glorified.Â This probably comes from my affection to my own mother who passed away when I was young and my protectiveness towards my two sisters and teenage niece.Â All fine and good emotions but as I was reminded by my VONA Poetry Collection Workshop: “If you’re writing about Anywhere Avenue, then we need to see more of a variety of people in your work.”Â Here’s my first attempt to diversify the population in my work.
One more piece of background:Â At my poetry class last week, one of my fellow students did a presentation on Anne Waldman’s “Fast Speaking Woman.” As part of the exercise, we all took turns reading stanzas from the poem, in effect, demonstrating the power of oral poetry and its transformative effects for an individual and group.Â Our takeaway exercise was to write a poem based on a random line from “Fast Speaking Woman.”Â Instead of torturing myself over which line to pick, I asked Barb to pick one out for me, and she chose “woman was in the world was walking”
Here goes the poem and, as always, comments and critique are always welcome.
woman was in the world was walking
â€“ Anne Waldman, â€œFast Speaking Womanâ€

Chemigation is a wide definition representing the application of any agricultural chemical (fertilizer or pesticide) to the soil or plant surface with an irrigation system by injecting the chemical into the irrigation water. Depending on the chemical type to be applied, chemigation may be referred to as fertigation, herbigation,,, etc. Fertigation is becoming more efficient than traditional broadcasting or drop-fertilizing methods due to many reasons for example: precise control of both the concentration and balance of nutrients, fertigation solutions can be easily monitored and modified for any plant growth stage or species and with irrigation scheduling; water and nutrients are applied at the precise time they are needed and at the rate they are utilized.
A field experiment was carried out during a growing season from March 27 to September 15, 2012 and the experimental area is located in Czech Republic - Prague at the west part called Suchdol, in the campus of the Czech University of Life Sciences close to meteostation; to apply irrigation management – scheduling procedure, to study the effect of soil desalinisation by rain after the growing season and until the beginning of the next growing season and to study the change in soil physical properties represented in the amount of water stable aggregates (WSA), Four fertigation treatments have been applied ; fertigation with nutritive solution A (EC = 1 µS.cm-l, PH = 6) , fertigation with nutritive solution B (EC = 2 µS.cm-l, PH = 6), Irrigation with water only, Control Parcel (no treatment).
Soil desalinization was determined by comparing the electrical conductivity and water stable aggregates directly after the growing season and at the end of January. For EC and WSA determinations; 6 soil samples (3 for 10 cm depth and 3 for 20 cm depth) have been taken from each treatment after the growing season and at the end of three different months; September, November and January. The total dry matter (TDM) of the different treatments has been measured.

Two volunteers from Rotherham Sea Cadets will be joining others from across the country for this year’s Junior Leaders Field Gun competition.
Probationary Petty Officer (SCC) Jessica France, 19, and Petty Officer (SCC) Nathan Pitcher, 21, are among those representing national youth charity Sea Cadets at the competition on Friday 7 July.
The Royal Navy-organised contest is designed for 16- to 24-year-olds who have no or little previous field gun experience, with teams competing to build and transport a field gun and its equipment up and down an 85-yard track. They stop to complete actions along the way, with the aim of running home with a clean and fast time.
Sea Cadets, supported by 9,000 volunteers at 400 units, helps 14,000 young people across the country to see the world with confidence through water-based and land-based adventure. It is among 18 teams taking part in the event this year at HMS Collingwood in Fareham, Hampshire.
Lieutenant Commander (SCC) Victoria Marson RNR, who is leading the team, said: “Our cadets and volunteers will be training hard in the week leading up to the competition, and it will be great to see them coming together as a team.
“This will be a fantastic opportunity for our cadets and volunteers, enhancing skills they will have already learned at Sea Cadets, such as teamwork, commitment and self-discipline.”
Petty Officer Cadet Ed Farrer, 17, took part in last year’s event and will be in the team for 2017. He said: “Being part of the Sea Cadets team for the Junior Leaders Field Gun 2016 was by far the best experience I’ve had within the Sea Cadet Corps. The comradery which grew between the team was second to none, and the positive, can-do attitude was infectious.
“The crew were immensely proud of their performance. Unbeatable friendships were forged and unforgettable memories made.”

Let me continue sharing some fragments of our trip to Colombia last year. In the rest of our first week in Bogotá, we visited some touristic attractions and I discovered even more new dishes.
Once, while we were driving, I saw an interesting view: a hill covered with tiny houses forming colourful clusters. Sergio told me that from aerial perspective this settlement should form a butterfly (la mariposa in Spanish). He also added that a tourist shouldn’t go there, since it’s a poor area and there is a high risk to get stabbed.
We visited the locality Usaquén which appeared to be nice and clean.
There, we had some coffee in a caffe and walked around the area.
We stumbled upon a small outdoor market. At that place one could buy various Colombian souvenirs. I bought myself a piranha preserved in plexiglas. Isn’t that cool?
Bogotá Botanical Garden
We also went to visit the Bogotá Botanical Garden. I always enjoy seeing unusual plants, and Colombia has a lot to offer in that domain. It turned out, however, that during these days, the botanical garden was hosting an exhibition. Its grounds turned into a large display of colourfully lit installations demonstrating the Colombian flora and fauna. So, instead of visiting the greenhouses, we spent a couple of hours going through the exhibition, which also was super fun to do.
We went there just before the dawn.
After the sun went down, they turned on the lights in the installations.
Passing by a sports ground
On some other day, our friends Cindy and Carlos brought us to the restaurant El Envigadeño for another must try. Bandeja paisa is a typical dish from the Paisa region. It includes beans, a couple of different sausages, poached egg, carne molida (ground meat), chicharron (fried pork belly), fried platano (cooking banana) and rice. It’s usually served with arepas (corn bread) on the side. You can imagine, such a dish easily covers a weekly caloric intake of an average person.
The portions which we ordered were humongous and I could barely manage to finish a half.
The restaurant itself was decorated in a very peculiar way.
Another very fun place to visit in Bogota is the Paloquemao market. It’s a large local farmer’s market, selling fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and flowers. I’ve never seen so many exotic things under one roof!
In addition, they got kiosks selling ready meals. One can buy a meal and eat it seating on plastic chairs directly next to the shop — not the most convenient way, but definitely a fun experience! I tried a tamale, and it was very delicious.
Furthermore, at the market, they also sell tasty juices (which are more like smoothies).
Catedral de Sal, Zipaquirá
On another day together with Cindy, Carlos and their baby-son we went on a day trip to Zipaquirá, a town located in about 50 km north from Bogota. Its main attraction is the Catedral de Sal, a cathedral built under ground in the former salt mine. It is very unusual, and definitely worth visiting!
The church was built in the 90s within the tunnels of a salt mine 200 metres underground. It consists of various corridors and sanctuaries located in the caves left behind by previous mining operations. The combination of light and stone carvings makes its architecture truly mesmerising.
After visiting the mines, we joined a bus tour to the town of Zipaquirá. The town looked different compared to Bogota, but it was actually quite a typical provincial town, as I observed it in the next couple of weeks while visiting other regions of Colombia.

“Hey Ho! Let’s Go!” The classic battle cry will inevitably reach the rafters this Sunday as Richie Ramone, one of the last remaining member of classic punk-rock act The Ramones, brings his leather-clad gospel anew to Eugene.
Since parting ways with the godfathers of the New York punk scene in 1987, Ramone has done time in The Rock n’ Roll Rats as well as The Gobshites. He’s even tried his hand at classical composition. But shaking the Ramones’ moniker can be tough.
Sporting all the swagger of Iggy Pop, Ramone’s 2013 solo debut, Entitled, smashes to pieces any assumptions that his new music would simply ape his namesake. The lone exception being a cover of “Smash You,” which Ramone tears through tactfully, rebranding the classic with his own unique rough-and-tumble charm.
This is where The Ramones comparisons stop. In lieu of the “oh-ay-ohs” of yesteryear, Richie Ramone defers to a crooning not unlike that of Billy Idol, buried under 40 years of a pack-a-day habit. Shedding the carefree party persona of his youth, Ramone’s music epitomizes the man he’s grown into. He has endured punk rock to transcend to a higher plane of weather-beaten but victorious rock ‘n’ roll survivor. Ramone is a lifer, a road-weary cautionary tale to some and the brightest inspiration to others.
Joining Richie Ramone are tour mates Dime Runner, local high-octane punk rockers Not A Part Of It and Xboyfriends 9 pm Sunday, April 19, at Black Forest; $7. 21-plus.[Story has been edited. It orginally stated that Richie Ramone was the last remaining member of The Ramones. Marky Ramone is also a remaining member.]

Presentation Transcript: Strategies for Scaling VDI Infrastructure
Storage bottlenecks in a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) can hinder application delivery, slow down desktop performance and just be an all-around pain. While increasing infrastructure scalability is a good way to overcome these bottlenecks, it’s very difficult to determine how many users you need to plan for. In this exclusive transcript, virtualization expert Brian Madden examines a storage solution that allows you to add bocks and nodes as you need them, minimizing risks and cost.

Fall Floral Blue Tableware
I had seen this piece online for some time and I was attracted to it, but feared it would be too small. I finally decide to order it, and when I opened it I fell in love. The craftsmanship is magnificent. I will buy one more for a gift.
Bought these to share with my son, who will use them as drinking cups. Myself, they are the perfect egg cup! Love the bright, jolly orange in this series of ceramics (have the long plate). The little blue dots are raised, so give a fine texture when you pick them up. Hope to buy some more of these lovely and functional pieces from Mexico! Thank you!
These mugs are beautiful! I purchased them in order to give them away and I can't imagine giving anything nicer.

Rob Smith, director of operations at Hustler Video Group says he hopes that market penetration of 3D TVs in the home is high enough that 'by the fourth quarter of this year it will be at the point where we can justify doing a 3D product.' The average adult movie costs around $25,000 to $40,000 to make, and 3D movies cost about 30% more, says Ali Joone, founder of Digital Playground. But Joone thinks the biggest hurdle for 3D isn't so much the cost as the glasses: people don't want to be encumbered by eyewear when viewing a film, says Joone."

I never understood why more guys don't cook. Food is delicious. You can make it yourself.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place eight 6-ounce (3 1/2-inch diameter) ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet, and coat with cooking spray; set aside. Stir flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer. Attach bowl to mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add egg, milk, oil, vanilla, and 1/4 cup water; mix on medium-low speed until smooth and combined, about 3 minutes. Divide batter evenly among prepared ramekins.
I love simple dishes like this. They remind me of my single vegetarian days in L.A. when I’d often come home from work and find a total of three grocery items in my kitchen.

The Senate overwhelmingly voted 85-to-13 on Thursday to reject the idea of a value-added tax in a resolution proposed by Sen. John McCain. All six of the senators on the president's bipartisan commission on the deficit -- three Democrats and three Republicans -- voted with the majority.
Sad. The resolution isn't even close to binding, and the VAT could live yet, but it's dispiriting that Sen. McCain would force the Senate to vote on this issue based on his emotional reaction to a Wall Street Journal editorial on the subject.
The thrust of the WSJ piece is that Democrats are plotting a VAT to pay for "the Obama Administration's new spending," and that consumption taxes will Europeanize the United States, destroy jobs and encourage the government to feed itself with higher VAT rates whenever we feel particularly hungry for more spending.
It's true of course that hidden taxes like consumption are more easily hiked and the VAT has proved a remarkable money-maker for some European countries. But the editorial's reasons for bashing the tax aren't fair to facts. "The Obama Administration's new spending" isn't the issue. The issue is something we'd have even with a President John McCain: growing entitlement spending paid for by historically squat total tax rates. The VAT would help pay for these programs and reduce foreign borrowing. A smart VAT could even be off-set with rate cuts in federal income, payroll or corporate tax cuts.
The value-added tax is not a magical panacea for the deficit or tax simplicity. It could take years to set up. Layering a VAT on top of our tax regime without offsets would have a significantly regressive impact on effective rates. Over time, legislators will carve both wise and special interest-heavy exemptions into the tax. There are issues, but they are issues worth discussing rather than preempting with a politically motivated resolution born out of midterm jitters.

Advocating for Healthcare Improvements in Rural Illinois
The Illinois Rural Health Association would like the state to do more to encourage doctors to serve rural areas.
“25% of the population is rural but less than 10% of the physicians practice in rural areas,” said Margaret Vaughn, Executive Director of the IRHA.
She said the number of specialists working in rural areas is even lower.
Vaughn said the Rural Medical Education Program at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Rockford has helped. She said the program has graduated more than 260 students since 1993 and most of them have gone on to serve in rural communities.
But Vaughn felt the numbers could be higher if the state legislature provided more money for the program. She also said student loans should be forgiven for doctors willing to practice in underserved parts of the state.
Vaughn said rural areas face numerous obstacles in trying to attract physicians. They include:
- A higher percentage of uninsured residents;
- Higher poverty rates;
- People must travel greater distances to see a doctor.
“When you put all those things together it doesn’t bode well for access to healthcare in rural areas,” Vaughn said.
She said rural health clinics and telemedicine are both proving to be part of the solution. She also said many doctors who practice in rural areas want to be there and take pride in their communities.
“They wouldn’t be there unless they were very dedicated,” Vaughn said.
She also suggested the state be more flexible with rural ambulance services, which she said are over-regulated.

These words can hurt to hear, and a lot of people say them when they’re asking for a divorce or ending a relationship. While we don’t know exactly what’s going on in every person’s mind, there are common themes that people refer to when they say that they love their spouse but are no longer in love with your spouse.
Asking Your Spouse
So, what does your spouse mean when s/he said, “I love you, but I’m not in love with you” ? Well, unfortunately, only your spouse can really know the answer to that. And even if they do know, they may not be honest with you. In some cases, your spouse might not even know what they mean when they say that. However, it’s also possible that your spouse knew exactly what they meant and are willing to be honest with you about it. So your best bet is to ask your spouse what exactly they meant, and any other questions you can think of to help you understand the situation. While there’s no way to know exactly why your spouse said that, there are common complaints within a marriage that could lead a person to feel as though they love their spouse but aren’t in love with their spouse.
“But I Didn’t Do Anything!”
All right, they married me so the chase is over: no more fancy dinners, date nights, going out, etc. I don’t have to do any of that because we’re married now and so I can just relax, right? Not necessarily. Marriages need constant maintenance to thrive. When it comes to maintaining a marriage, it’s a lot of little things that add up in the long run. Though you may not have to pursue your husband/wife in the same way you pursued him or her while you were dating, that doesn’t mean that you don’t need to put any effort into staying close to your spouse. If you are not doing things to intentionally get close to your spouse, you could be drifting apart.
Outsourcing Executive Functioning Skills
While this is normally a problem that men have, women can absolutely be guilty of this too. Executive functioning skills are, in general, the skills a person needs to plan, organize, and manage certain tasks. Traditionally, this happens with tasks related to managing the household: “I want a spouse who’s going to do all the cooking, all the cleaning, manage the finances, organize the family’s social activities, manage our marriage, and tend to the children—oh and s/he needs to work a full time job too.” This is often referred to as the mental load, and it’s easy to see how it falls on the women the majority of the time—but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t any men out there who aren’t being over-burdened with the mental load. It might look the same, or it might look a little different, but it does happen to men too. Expecting your spouse to shoulder the mental load of a relationship can cause them to feel exhausted and mentally fried and taken for granted. The lack of support may make them feel alone in the marriage, and as if they’re the only one keeping it afloat.
Are You a Workaholic?
There are a lot of people who find their work to be a source of satisfaction, and they take pride in their work, and bringing home a nice paycheck. Unfortunately for these people, being a workaholic does not generally predict a happy marriage—in fact, quite the opposite tends to happen. Jobs that require you to travel frequently and/or work odd and unpredictable hours may cause lasting damage to your marriage. This is particularly true with jobs that require their employees to be “on call” at all times. This can make your spouse feel like they’re growing apart from you, or as if they’re feeling disconnected from you. In some cases, it may be necessary to even get a different job in order to save the marriage.
Look, I’m Not Your Mom
Being a mom is sometimes a thankless job, especially if you’re a stay at home mom (or dad). A lot of people—both men and women—get caught into a cycle where they begin treating their spouse like their mom. Dirty dish? Just put it in the sink, the husband (or wife) will clean it. Oh cooking dinner? No, that’s my wife’s job (or husband’s job). If you’re married, and you live together, maintaining the house is the responsibility of both parties. Regardless of who is doing what chores, it’s important that both parties are showing appreciation and gratitude for the chores their spouse does. While one party may naturally take on more chores than the other, problems are bound to occur when the other party starts acting like they’re entitled to be picked up after.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
I'm a largely self-taught artist and have been drawing for as long as I can remember. I picked up painting in my later years, and now work primarily with acrylics. Much of my artwork is inspired by my surroundings, including our natural world and local scenery. I explore these themes primarily through two styles, one being around environmental issues, and the other through my criss-cross style.
Currently I am located in Victoria, Australia.
My creative background includes completing two years of architectural studies, and a short stint as a graphic designer. And my passion for our natural world is further supported by the completion of an environmental management degree.


With the revival of the Ford Bronco, the Jeep Wrangler is faced with a legitimate hometown rival for the 1st time in far more than a quarter-century. And even though loads of people are satisfied to discussion the merit of the two SUVs’ off-road abilities, a the latest upload to the YouCar YouTube channel could possibly assistance you decide which truck belongs in your garage. That is mainly because we now have a likelihood to greater see how the two off-roaders compare when faced with the Coverage Institute for Highway Safety’s most tough crash exam: the smaller overlap entrance affect. Spoiler inform: Things never look great for the outdated 7-bar grille.
The compact overlap front influence take a look at is the most brutal process that a car or truck undertakes during crash tests. It is composed of accelerating a car up to 40 mph just before smashing at the very least 25 percent of the frontal spot into a 5-foot-tall barrier. The place that will make effect should be biased toward the driver’s aspect, which can help simulate hitting yet another auto or an item this sort of as a phone pole. As the IIHS has formerly claimed, the Ford Bronco received a Very good rating for its efforts in this space, whilst the Wrangler pulled away with only a Marginal score. (See the IIHS comprehensive set of scores and take a look at effects for the 2021 Ford Bronco.) And while that may possibly not appear like a tremendous variance, the footage speaks for alone.
This written content is imported from YouTube. You may be ready to discover the exact written content in another structure, or you could be able to obtain extra information, at their net web-site.
Upon smashing into the barrier, the Bronco’s entrance fender immediately collapses, while the front wheel is smashed up into the fender effectively. It is not a pretty matter to check out, as is designed apparent by the SUV’s Marginal rating in the lower leg/foot analysis. That said, the success do not search that substantially superior for the Wrangler. Like with the Ford, the Wrangler’s crash structure promptly starts to deform on effect. Moreover, the entrance wheel after again finds by itself shoved back in direction of the cabin. Not like the Ford nonetheless, the Jeep scores a far better Good score in the reduced leg/foot evaluation. This action nonetheless seems a lot more violent on the Jeep, as it seems to help the Wrangler flip onto its side. According to the IIHS, this happened during both tests of this mother nature. (See the IIHS entire set of ratings and exam final results for the 2019 Jeep Wrangler.) The Institute had the next to say about the Wrangler’s general performance:
In both equally of the Institute’s exams, the auto tipped onto its passenger facet right after putting the barrier. The partial rollover provides an extra injury possibility past what the standard conditions are supposed to evaluate in little overlap frontal crash checks. A vehicle tipping onto its side is not an satisfactory consequence for a frontal crash and, as a end result, the Wrangler’s in general ranking was downgraded to Marginal.
It is crucial to take note that this Jeep footage is from the 2019 product year, while the scores have not transformed in the subsequent several years. So although there may possibly be arguments to be designed for the Jeep’s capability, it is really plainly not pretty on the exact same amount as the Ford in conditions of outright safety. Whether or not that is a excellent plenty of rationale to alter allegiances will be a personal determination, but I know which SUV I would relatively have a bad working day in.

Milk in the Land: Ballad of an American Drink
Milk, long a staple of the American diet, gets a cool, refreshing examination in this film that looks back at the introduction of swill milk as a means of disposing of brewery grain and forward to a future of alternative, natural dairy systems. Interviews with farmers, activists, and historians, together with a rich array of collaged and animated materials, reveal a contested, unexpected history. From presidential funding scandals to links with eugenics, milk consumption has been touted and normalized by political administrations, science, and agribusiness. On the other side of the pasture are those who argue that milk is an overproduced, industrialized food. Filmmakers Gerstein and McCollum's earlier Hybrid was a cultural history of genetically modified crops; here they observe cows engineered to provide more milk than can possibly be consumed, a lamentable waste.

Hazelnuts are naturally sweet and full of nutrients.
A Brief History Lesson
Hazelnuts come from the corylus avellana, a tree which originated in Europe and western Asia. It first became part of organized agriculture some nine millennia ago, in what is now Scotland. Those ancient people didn't have much in the way of meat up in that part of the world, so they relied on nuts to keep them full. The nut's fatty and nutritious composition would have kept them solid and healthy. Imagine that, 9,000 years pass and people are still eating the same things, albeit with a little extra sugar nowadays - though hazelnut coffee probably doesn't count as part of the paleo diet.
These days, hazelnuts are grown all across the globe, in Turkey, Poland, the U.S. and China. Hazelnut spreads and candies are the chief uses of the nut and public demand for the unique flavor just keeps growing. You can also grab a cup of hazelnut coffee in just about every restaurant and cafe across the globe, but none of those made with sugary syrup will be as good as the cup you brew at home.
