Fresh basil, paired with an olive oil & lime juice dressing, adds a fresh and tangy taste to this Easy Caprese Salad Recipe with Cherry Tomatoes. It’s the perfect summer salad!
Some things are worth waiting for. Spring after a long, cold winter. The long days of summer. Fresh herbs out my back door. That’s the way I feel about homegrown tomatoes. They come and go very quickly, but they are so worth the wait. I love tomatoes of any size, but cherry tomatoes are among my favorites…and they make the best Caprese salad!
Why This Recipe Works
- Fresh and vibrant flavors: The combination of cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, fresh basil, and lime olive oil dressing creates a combination of flavors that are bright, tangy, and refreshing.
- Healthy choice: Caprese salad with fresh cherry tomatoes is a nutritious and light option, packed with vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats from the olive oil.
- Easy to prepare: This salad requires minimal ingredients and no cooking, making it a quick and convenient dish to whip up for any occasion.
- Versatile dish: Caprese salad can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or even a main course when paired with grilled chicken or fish.
- Seasonal ingredients: Cherry tomatoes and whole basil leaves are at their peak during the summer months, making this salad an ideal choice for warm-weather gatherings and outdoor dining.
Ingredient Notes + Variations
Most traditional caprese salad recipes call for some sort of balsamic vinegar dressing. Even though I have tried, I just don’t like balsamic vinegar. So for this recipe I used the classic combination of olive oil and citrus. The tang of the lime paired with the creamy mozzarella and tomatoes is the perfect combination.
One delicious variation you can try is adding sliced avocado to your main ingredients in this Caprese salad. The creamy texture and mild flavor of the avocado complement the tangy cherry tomatoes and the rich mozzarella cheese beautifully to create the perfect salad.
For a more protein-rich and hearty alternative, you can add grilled chicken or shrimp to make the best Caprese salad that’s more filling. Marinate the protein of your choice in a mixture of lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and some chopped basil before grilling to ensure that it complements the flavors of the salad. You can either serve the grilled protein on top of the salad or mix it in with the other ingredients. This addition transforms the Caprese salad into a complete meal.
How To Make
- Combine olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl or measuring cup. Whisk thoroughly.
- In a bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes and mozzarella pearls.
- Sprinkle chopped basil over top.
- Toss the olive oil mixture thoroughly with the tomatoes + mozzarella, and taste before adding more salt and black pepper, adjusting as needed.
- Serve immediately.
- For best results, make sure to use fresh mozzarella cheese. The bagged shredded stuff or mozzarella slices are just not the same.
- Definitely substitute regular diced tomatoes if you don’t have cherry tomatoes for this fresh salad.
- Chiffonade the fresh basil leaves first and then chop. That way you won’t be crunching down on a big piece of basil.
- This simple salad can be served in a large bowl, or for a pretty presentation, it can be placed on a serving platter. Make sure to garnish these fresh tomatoes with sweet basil.
- You can freeze basil in olive oil and use it to make this salad anytime. Just thaw out enough cubes to equal 1/4 cup of olive oil.
- Serve this Caprese salad with grilled honey mustard chicken for the perfect summer meal.
Frequently Asked Questions
It’s best to use fresh mozzarella. I love mozzarella pearls or small mozzarella balls. Diced fresh mozzarella is delicious as well.
You can prepare the ingredients ahead of time, but it’s best to assemble the salad just before serving to ensure the freshness and prevent the basil leaves from wilting.
Ideally, Caprese salad should be consumed on the same day it is prepared. However, if necessary, you can store the salad in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. The olive oil dressing will harden. Simply let it come to room temperature before serving.
Yes, you can use any type of ripe tomatoes in your Caprese salad such as grape tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, or fresh heirloom tomatoes. Just make sure to chop small pieces, as large pieces don’t work as well. Remove excess seeds and liquid to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
If fresh basil is not available, you can use fresh mint, fresh arugula, or a mix of both as an alternative. These herbs have different flavors, but still add a refreshing touch to the salad.
Yes, you can replace the mozzarella with a vegan cheese alternative, such as cashew-based cheese or store-bought vegan mozzarella.
Apart from lime olive oil dressing, you can try balsamic dressing or a balsamic reduction, honey mustard vinaigrette, or even a simple combination of extra-virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper.

The tone was set early.
Nice Spokane Empire kick return, swift touchdown drive. Repeat.
Spokane scored on all eight first-half possessions, six of those drives starting in Colorado territory, and went on to hammer the visiting Crush 97-72 Saturday at the Arena.
Spokane’s offensive efficiency continued in the second half – and so did the favorable field position. The Empire scored on all six possessions, the first four beginning at midfield after the Crush opted to kick the ball out of bounds rather than deal with the return tandem of Trevor Kennedy and Robert Brown.
Fourteen Spokane possessions, 14 touchdowns, capped by Kennedy’s 15-yard run with 53 seconds left to break the franchise’s single-game scoring record. The previous best was 90 points versus San Jose in a 2012 Arena Football League contest. It’s believed to be the second-highest point total in Indoor Football League history.
“To come out as an offense and be lights out and score on every possession, that where we want to be,” said quarterback Charles Dowdell. “It was really good to see us put it all together in front of this great fan base.”
The Empire (4-1 overall, 3-0 at home) lead the Intense Conference standings heading into two straight road games. Wichita Falls (4-2), which won at Tri-Cities, is Spokane’s closest pursuer. Colorado dropped to 0-6.
Kennedy, who had four rushing touchdowns last week, struck for seven more (four rushing, three receiving). Dowdell completed 21 of 27 attempts and tossed eight touchdown passes. He added 53 yards rushing.
J.J. Hayes another big game with eight catches for 95 yards and two touchdowns. Carl Sims added seven receptions for 53 yards and three scores.
“We’re capable of that,” head coach Adam Shackleford said. “You won’t see that every week but we blocked well, ran well, protected the quarterback and Charles made really good decisions with the ball.”
Spokane racked up 99 return yards, 28 coming after a Crush missed field goal, in the first quarter to set up the offense at Colorado’s 22, 15, 17 and 17. The Empire scored three touchdowns on their first five plays from scrimmage to take a 21-6 lead.
The points kept coming. Kennedy somersaulted into the end zone to complete a 5-yard scoring play and Spokane led 28-13.
“We had a great week of practice and bought into what we’re doing,” Hayes said. “When your special teams play like that, it makes it easy on the offense.”
Another Kennedy touchdown – he had five in the first half – bumped Spokane’s lead to 35-19 early in the second quarter. The defense got into the act as linebacker Pasquale Vacchio made a one-handed interception, giving the Empire possession at the Crush 11-yard line.
Linebacker Nick Haag came in at fullback and plowed in from the 1 to extend the Empire’s lead to 42-19.
Spokane appeared to be stopped after Kyle Brotzman’s 28-yard field-goal attempt missed wide right. However, Colorado was flagged for a personal foul and two plays later Kennedy and Dowdell connected again, giving Spokane a 56-31 halftime lead.
“I feel like we were taking what they gave us,” Dowdell said. “I think we played our game and didn’t try to play their game.”
Both offenses continued to roll in the second half as the teams traded scores well into the fourth quarter. Spokane broke out a trick play with receiver Justin Helwege taking a pitch from Dowdell and tossing a 2-yard touchdown pass to Sims for a 76-51 lead.
On its next series, Spokane faced a rare fourth down but converted with Dowdell firing a 5-yard scoring pass to Sims.

First of all, I apologize for the delay in this post! Exhaustion and the second leg of my trip got the better of me, followed by catching up on work upon my return. But I didn’t want everyone to miss out on my last two days. Next, I apologize for the technicality and numbers of this post! I learned SO MUCH from this day and wanted to record it all for U.S. producers who may be interested in how the U.K. wool marketing is done. We don’t have anything like this in the states, so I was fascinated by how organized and successful this system seems. Feel free to scroll through the photos if you’re not into the technicalities of wool marking!
Today we headed south to the city of Bradford to visit the British Wool Marketing Board. This cooperative handles 90% of the wool in the UK through a series of depots throughout the country, but only makes up for 2% of the global market. The main depot and the Wool Board headquarters are located in Bradford. When we walked into the headquarters, there were beautiful wool products everywhere; a display with a wool suit, an amazing chair upholstered with knit wool fabric. We headed into a conference room to hear a presentation about the Wool Board, its history and its purpose.
The British Wool Marketing Board is a farm cooperative that was established in 1950 with the goal of getting the best price for the farmer. The United Kingdom was divided into nine regions, each with their own board member. When the cooperative was formed, there were 130,000 farmers and 100 merchants as members. Now there are 45,000 sheep farmers with an average of 350 sheep per farm. This cooperative is actually the last remaining commodity board in the UK.
The cooperative is funded by charging a small service fee and a fixed price system ended in 1992. There are 60 breeds of sheep in the UK plus crosses, so a centralized structures helps find markets to deal with the diversity. Currently, the board is marketing 29 mkg of wool annually. This is down from 15 years ago due a historical outbreak of food and mouth disease and the industry has been slow to recover.
In addition to the marketing aspect, the wool board provides shearing training (can I attend??), wool sheets for produces to ship in, and grading. The farmer gets paid based on the grade. Blueface Leicester has the highest value (£4.20/kg) and Herdwich has the lowest value (25 pence/kg). Lincoln Longwool falls in the middle around £1.00/kg.
The grading system includes:
A network of 11 deports supported by 14 intermediate depots throughout the UK handle 30,000,000 kg of wool per year! The Bradford depot we visited is fed by 5 intermediate depots.
The wool comes in as sheet, then is graded and the value determined. This is where the traceability for a specific farm ends because each individual fleece is separated by grade. After grading, the wool is baled into ~350-400 kg bales and sold once they have a large enough lot (around 10 tons).
Each individual bale of wool is tested to the International Wool Textile Organization standards for yield, micron, color and vegetative matter amount. All this information is provided to buyers. At the time of purchasing, the buyers cannot see or feel the wool, so they rely on accurate test results and the catalogue listing.
All wool is sold through the auction process. The marketing board uses a fully electronic system to sell the wool. There used to be three auctioneers that sold all the wool through a traditional auction method, but they went fully electronic in 2003. There are 18 auctions held per year and all buyers must be in the room in Bradford in order to bid. A reserve is put on every lot of wool to help get fair prices. The catalogue states all the information from testing, as well as the location of the wool, as it may be in any of the depots. The buyer is responsible for picking up the wool they purchase within a specific amount of time. The auctions held throughout the year help to provide a steady supply and keep prices fairly consistent throughout the year as well. We had the opportunity to visit the auction room and participate in a mock auction. I found it incredibly confusing and hard to follow! The auction moves incredibly quick. Steve, who is in charge of the auction process, said they have gotten the speed of selling down to 2.3 seconds per lot and they are able to sell 100 lots/hour!
The wool marketing board prides themselves on quality control. Because every individual fleece is graded and every bale is tested, buyers can be certain they are receiving the product they are expecting.
The board is very active in the marketing of wool in the UK and beyond. They have many programs that encourage the use of British wool, including an award for college design student for design of wool textiles. They attend carpet trade shows (I didn’t know that even existed!), and have even developed a licensee scheme for manufacturers and retailers to use the British wool logo if they use a given amount of wool in their product. For most products, the logo can be used if there is 50% wool in the product, but carpets have to be 80% wool. There is also a new platinum logo that is a creditation for 100% British wool. For this, the process is inspected at the scouring plant, and then follows the processing chain for certification. Lastly, in recent years, they have been doing a lot of marketing in conjunction with Campaign for Wool. Started in 2010 by the Prince of Wales, this campaign has grown to 15 countries around the world and is geared toward the consumer. I’ve decided to do a blog post on this soon, as I think it is an amazing project!
Following a presentation on the board and their duties, we headed out into the warehouse of North of England Wools, which is one of the 11 depots throughout the U.K. This depot in Bradford handles 6 million kg of wool per year and is one of the larger depots. They employ 43 people and handle an average of 115,000 kg/week.
The first step after wool enters the depot is grading. The day we visited, they had 5 grading tables working. The graders go through nearly 5 years of an apprenticeship before they are certified as a wool grader. There are over 100 different grades of wool they need to know and only spend around 10 seconds looking at each fleece! The grading process is incredibly important because the U.K. does not have the consistence of fleece type and quality that other markets have (for example New Zealand and Australia). The grading system is revised annually to meet the needs of growers.
After grading, the wool is baled and then stored until sold in the warehouse. The amount of wool in there is fascinating!
Following the tour of the warehouse, we headed inside for lunch, then down the road to Haworth Scouring Company. For those of you who many not be familiar with wool processing, scouring is the first step and is essentially a fancy name for the washing of the wool.
This company separates out blends based on their customer’s demand, but 70% of the wool that goes through their plant is British. The first step is huge rotors that churn and blend the wool. Every step along the way has metal detectors to prevent anything from hurting the machines. The blended wool then heads up a conveyer to the next building for the washing process.
The plant is incredibly high tech! The wool is weighed and monitored throughout the process to help control the chemicals and drying. The machines automatically adjust the amount of detergent based on the wool, and the driers adjust time and temperature based on sensors sensing the moisture of the wool. There are also sensors that monitor the cleanliness of the water in each of the eight basins. Throughout the eight basins, rakes push the wool down and forward and it is squeezed before entering the next basin. This process uses a lot of water, so the water in the last four basins is recycled through a membrane filtration system. After washing, the wool is sucked into a drier with drums. Next, the wool is blown into another building where the wool is baled into 350 kg bales.
The customer can then decide whether or not they’d like the wool to be carded. They can send the washed wool elsewhere or have Haworth do the carding. The carding happens in several steps, each step cleaning the VM out of the wool more. The wool ends up in a very long “string” of roving, and then can be packed into “bumps” of various sizes, based on what the customer desires.
The whole process between organizing wool at the depots throughout the country, grading the wool, scouring, and marketing was completely fascinating! The day really made me wonder why we don't have a system like this in the U.S. In the U.K. market, there is a place for every wool. In the American market, longwools like the Lincoln are completely thrown by the wayside. While we do have issues like the large geography of the U.S., with a renewed interest in sustainable fibers, the wool industry has the potential to grow.

Casa Batlló has recently been fully restored by the Bernat family, which has owned the house since the 1990s. The project also includes a series of contemporary interventions that aim to create a more immersive and engaging experience for visitors.
Kuma's contribution adorns the atrium and a new staircase connecting the ground floor with additional exhibition spaces created in a former coal bunker in the basement.
The curtain was produced using Spanish firm Kriskadecor's aluminium chains and pays tribute to the symbolic use of light throughout the house's unique interior.
It also envelops an emergency staircase that extends across the building's eight floors. Within this otherwise dark space, lighting developed by designer Mario Nanni reflects off the metal links to enhance their shimmering quality.
The curtain gradually changes from a lighter shade at the top to black as it descends into the old coal cellar, echoing the way daylight filters down through the building's central courtyard.
"We have imagined this space dressed in aluminium link curtains," said Kuma, "which with their meticulous materiality catch the light, as if they were fishing nets, and show it to us in all its forms: brightness, silhouettes, shadows."
"This way, by omitting the use of any other materials, and erasing the presence of this blind box and its staircase using these chains, we are able to speak of light and light only."
The curtain is formed of individual chain-link strands that are suspended from the variously inclined ceilings and surfaces underneath the stairs.
Computer software used to develop the scale-like pattern also ensured the precise positioning and length of each chain.
The staircase that descends to the newly accessible basement was designed by London-based firm Ancient & Modern. It is made from 13 tonnes of polished black marble that was carved on the underside to create an animalistic form reminiscent of Gaudí's own interventions.
The new basement houses 2,000 square metres of additional exhibition spaces, forming part of what is now called the "10D Experience".
As part of this endeavour to provide an unprecedented insight into Gaudí's mind, audiovisual producer Miguel Alonso has created an installation comprising a dome with 1,000 screens showing films about the architect.
Turkish media artist Refik Anadol has also produced a cube-shaped installation displaying imagery and data about Gaudí that was collated using artificial intelligence.
Casa Batlló was originally designed by Emilio Sala Cortés and constructed on the newly formed Passeig de Gracia in 1877.
The house was purchased in 1903 by Josep Batlló y Casanovas, who commissioned Gaudí to remodel the facade, interior and inner courtyard.
Gaudí collaborated with the best artisans of the time to transform the house into a work of art, using wrought iron, stone, wood, stained glass and ceramic tiles to decorate it in the modernisme style.
Earlier this year, while the house was closed to the public due to the coronavirus pandemic, local designer Max Enrich was invited to create a series of sculptural lamps for the interior.
The first house designed by Gaudí, which is also located in Barcelona and is called Casa Vicens, opened to the public for the first time in 2017 following a major restoration project.
Another of Gaudí’s most famous projects in the city, the Sagrada Família basilica, has been under construction since 1882 and remains unfinished.

I had been invited by Professor Sufen Song of Sun Yat-Sen University in Guanzhou to give a talk about “Feminine Pornography as Art of Failure” and to hold a workshop with women who are into gay erotic animations and fictions. The talk garnered unusually rich feedback from students. The workshop was well attended and came alive during the second half, where they were asked to imagine a short story about gay couple in Berlin, an older Belgian professor Moenen (named after the devil in the Flemish medieval story Marieke Van Nijmeghen) who falls in love with the much younger Fritz from Berlin.
The Guanzhou imagination ran wild as students improvised their versions of this relationship. One student recited her story in loud and confident english sentences and was not shy to use the f*** word. And several days later that very story got stuck in my mind, so I summarize it here for you:
Professor Moenen is very old-fashioned and strict, the kind of person who takes care of his own household. Between the two world wars he visits Berlin. a wet and dark city, and ends up in a bar called Neo, filled with strictly gay men. They are the kind who drink their coffees while talking about Plato. When Moenen runs into the gorgeous Fritz, he falls for him quickly and does all the things Fritz tells him to do.
Fritz fucks professor Moenen very hard. But Moenen does not scream or shout it loud. Fritz wants him to say “Fuck me harder!” but he does not shout. Fritz soon is tired of the old dog who just follows him around. In the end he dumps old Moenen who also ends up being forgotten by history.
It is only when Fritz himself become Professor many years later, that he misses the old men.
Perhaps these young Chinese women like to pester high-brow masculinity and deprive it of a voice. As they explained afterwards, they like to eroticize vulnerability and pain alongside the details of sexual conquest. Let this be a lesson for us middle-aged academics. If at all possible, let’s follow our wildest desires and do it with younger lovers, but let our matured minds also really enjoy the sex, “to scream and shout it out loud!”

Quercetin concentrate is a natural bioflavonoid found mostly in citrus fruits and greens such as red onions, apples, red grapes, coriander, radish, nuts and berries. As our body cannot produce Quercetin, it must therefore be obtained by eating the foods mentioned above. When taken in combination with chemotherapy drugs, it has a constant effect on reducing drug resistance and hence providing a better treatment result.
Quercetin is effective in binding heavy metals and free radicals, including inhibition of the enzyme xanthine oxidase and the oxidation of lipids that cause the alteration of free radical balance.
Quercetin can bring about many health benefits to cancer patients and those at risk of cancer:
- It can help against colds, allergies and prevent cardiovascular disease.
- Reduce drug resistance by inhibiting heat shock protein 70 (HSP-70). It helps to control the balance and reduce the complex structure to facilitate the occurrence of mutations of other proteins
- Prevents hardening of blood vessels.
- Prevents the spread of cancer by promoting apoptosis (cell death) of cancerous cells.
- Inhibits phosphorylation or the viability of tumour cell growth.
- Reduces abnormal cell growth.
- Enhance the effectiveness of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
- Optimizes the function of immune system cells such as NK cells and modulates the immune system
- Prevents the proliferation of both RNA and DNA viruses.
- Reduced filtration rate according to estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) and reduced HER2 signal transmission.
- It is a powerful antihistamine. (Can be used instead of drugs like cimetidine in the treatment of cancer)
The mechanism of action of Quercetin is to reduce the proliferation of cells by accelerating their emergence. It acts on apoptosis, or accelerates apoptosis and inhibits the cell cycle (in G2/M or G1 stages). Quercetin is effective in binding heavy metals and free radicals, including inhibition of the enzyme xanthine oxidase and the oxidation of lipids that cause the alteration of free radical balance.
Therefore, many medical studies and clinical applications have shown the importance of Quercetin in preventing the development of many cancers and can be an added benefit to one’s health.

Harry Dunn family: 'Dominic Raab misled us'
The mother of Harry Dunn has accused Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab of misleading the family and Parliament over whether "obstacles" had been cleared as the family seek justice.
The 19-year-old died after a collision in Northamptonshire in August that led to the suspect leaving the UK claiming diplomatic immunity.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office said in a statement: "We have done and will continue to do everything we properly can to ensure that justice is done."

Customers buy differences they perceive, and they buy value.
Value can be defined as the benefits a customer receives divided by price they pay.
To increase value, you’ve got one of 2 strategies—decrease the price (so that perceived value exceeds price), or increase the benefits (perceived or actual). We know that the former is an exercise in futility, so that leaves the latter.
What are the things can add that customers wouldn’t ordinarily expect? And these don’t necessarily need to be tangible items that can cost you more.
What things do you add already that your customer may not be fully aware of?
Sometimes just pointing these things out can help customers understand the value of what they’re getting from you.
Look at the simple activities you perform in the course of delivering your product or service to customers. Do you give them clear, straightforward advice and solutions to their problems? Do you follow them up in a timely manner?
This gives customers the perception that their needs are your priority, that they are important, and keeps them coming back for more.

It may sound like science fiction or an attempt to inject novelty into the overworked vampire genre, but the production of artificial blood, on a scale that would rival existing transfusion sources, is being countenanced by researchers eager to exploit stem cell technology. In particular, researchers at the University of Edinburgh and the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) are looking forward to assess how well people accept blood transfusions derived from induced pluripotent stem cells. Clinical trials assessing the safety of the approach may commence by the end of 2016.
A team of scientists led by SNBTS director Marc Turner, M.D., Ph.D. is heading the project, which reflects the combined efforts of the BloodPharma consortium, which has benefited from a Strategic Award, provided by the Wellcome Trust, in the amount of £5 million (approximately $8.4 million).
The research funded by the award involves multiplying and converting induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into red blood cells for use in humans, with the aim of making the process scalable for manufacture on a commercial scale. In hopes of refining the process, one of the BloodPharma consortium members, the Cell Therapy Catapult, intends to develop the nonclinical and clinical studies, and to provide guidance on data requirements for market access optimization.
The clinical trial will begin conservatively, with three patients who are in need of regular transfusions because they have thalassemia, a disorder of the red blood cells. These patients will receive about 5 mL of blood initially, and the researchers will determine whether the laboratory-made blood cells survive and behave normally once they are in the patients' bodies.
“Producing a cellular therapy which is of the scale, quality, and safety required for human clinical trials is a very significant challenge, but if we can achieve success with this first in-man clinical study it will be an important step forward to enable populations all over the world to benefit from blood transfusions,” explained Dr. Turner. “These developments will also provide information of value to other researchers working on the development of cellular therapies.”
Dr. Turner added that while the researchers are optimistic about the clinical applications of their approach, it may take at least 20 years before artificial blood is widely used. Accordingly, the news that artificial blood is entering early clinical trials should not be taken as a signal that blood donations are any less necessary than ever.
While the use of induced pluripotent stem cells rather than embryonic stem cells offers a key advantage—the ability to develop cells of particular cell types—researchers also acknowledge that many development challenges remain.
Dr. Turner and colleagues, in an article published October 2013 in Cell Stem Cell, wrote the following: “While it is possible that clinical GMP-grade autologous iPSC lines could be derived on an individual basis, it seems unlikely that these will be used as a source for large numbers of patients in the near future, given the time and cost required to produce clinical GMP cell lines and to differentiate these into cells and tissues of clinical utility. It is likely, therefore, that a bank of allogeneic clinical GMP cell lines will be required to allow the field to develop over the next few years, raising the issues of how such a bank, or network of banks, could be established and, in particular, how immune incompatibility can best be managed.”

I had never been inside a Hindu temple.
I had seen a number of Hindu temples before: in Singapore, in Penang, in Kuala Lumpur. But I had never been inside one. I only had a chance to stand outside with my head tilted and my mouth open as I admired the facade and overall architecture. When I learned that there’s one along Harmony Street in Malacca, I got so thrilled thinking that the time had come that I get to step into a place of worship for one of the oldest religions in the world. I thought it was my lucky day!
And lucky day it was not!
The Sri Poyyatha Vinayagar Moorthi Temple was closed when we visited. Poor me, indeed. Once again, I was an outside lover.
Built in 1781, the Sri Poyyatha Vinayagar Moorthi Temple (sometimes referred to as simply Sri Poyyatha Temple) is said to be the oldest Hindu Temple in Malaysia. This 230-year old structure stands at the heart of the old town of Malacca, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is located in Malacca Chinatown, specifically in Jalan Tukang Emas, which is part of what many tourists aptly call Harmony Street, because it harbors a number places of worships belonging to different religions — the Cheng Hoon Teng Temple (Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism), the Xiang Lin Si Temple (Buddhism), and Kampung Kling Mosque (Islam).
The rectangular land where it stands was donated by Kapitan Thaivanayagam Chitty, the head of the community. It was built for the Hindu population of the area to practice their religion, especially the veneration of Lord Vinayagar (also known as Lord Ganesha), a deity with the head of an elephant, body of a man, and four arms. According to the website of Sri Ruthra Kaliamman Temple (a Hindu Temple in Singapore): Vinayagar is both the Lord of obstacles as well as the Remover of obstacles. When we do evil things or when the time is not right, He places obstacles in our path. When we take the correct path, He removes the root of our troubles.
While its bright yellow-painted facade makes it very hard to miss if you’re walking down Harmony Street (Temple Street), I still kind of missed it. (I really am visually-challenged when the sun is too bright. Or maybe I’m just stupid sometimes. Sometimes is the keyword there.) Perhaps, I was just expecting a temple of Dravidian architecture with a colossal gopuram (dome/tower) covered with rich, colorful, intricately designed ornamentation. While it doesn’t have a massive, overwhelmingly embellished crown, the structure is topped with a three-leveled tower with blue molded edges and arch niches with relief images. Each of the columns of this peak tower has a triangular hole-accents at its center as with the perpendicular base where a line of triangles run horizontally. Sculptures of sacred cows also adorn the fenced rooftop of the temple.
The temple is separated from the street by a set of brown picket fences. Since it was built during the period when the Dutch ruled the city, there are also some dutch elements and influences in the design of the temple such as the details of the roofs, vaulted domes, walls, and columns.
Well, that’s what’s outside the temple. What’s inside? Maybe another day. When I finally get that opportunity to enter it.

The ASW-G-01/G2 Gundam Bael Gryps (aka Gundam Bael Gryps, Bael Gryps, Gryps) is a custom machine created by Mai Sakamoto.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
With the Bael's design favouring agility and close combat, the Bael Gryps further enhances these qualities while improving the suit's capabilities in ranged combat and providing various alternative weapons as well. The suit's armaments have been diversified by adopting weaponry from the Barbatos and Grimgerde machines to ensure that the Bael Gryps always retains the upper hand. Its primary weapons have been replaced with forearm-mounted swords like the Grimgerde for faster deployment to correspond with Mai aggressive close combat style.
The Bael Gryps' trump card is its new transformation mechanism, allowing it to assume a quadruped form known as Gryphon Mode. The suit's Gryphon Mode retains its original aerial agility, allowing for hover and flight capabilities, but drastically improves its ground speed while reducing the unit's profile, making it harder to hit. While in Gryphon Mode the Gryps loses access to most of its weapons, aside from the electromagnetic cannons, claws and nails, with a large bird-like headpiece covering the Gryps' head. To compensate for the lack in weapons, a beam weapon is built into the covering headpiece, able to devastate targets from further away.
- Beam Weapon
- The Gryps' only beam weapon and longest reaching armament, the beam weapon is similar to that of the Hashmal, but has reduced output due to the suit's smaller size.
- Einherjar Blade
- The Einherjar Blade are the Bael Gryps' primary melee weapons, being able to be hand-held or mounted from the shield to leave the suit's hands free.
- Einherjar Shield
- Each forearm has a shield mounted on it to enhanced the Gryps' defences, like the Grimgerde they are used to hold the suit's main close combat weapons.
- Wired Anchor
- Inside each shield is a single grappling anchor that can be used for mobility or ensnaring targets. Mai usually uses them to grapple enemies and close in at high speed.
- Electromagnetic Cannon
- The electromagnetic cannons are identical to those of the Bael, usually used when the suit is locked in close combat.
- Griffin Claw
- Inspired by the Barbatos Lupus Rex's nails, the Bael Gryps' Griffin Claws are smaller close combat cutting weapons typically used as a last resort. Due to their smaller size than the original Rex Nails the Gryps can still wield its other weapons with the same level of finesse.
- Griffin Nail
- The suit's feet are fitted with two large bladed sections for slashing attacks and increasing traction, Mai is particularly fond of using them for unorthodox attacks, especially as her opening move.
- The only handheld firearms used by the suit are a pair of handguns stored on the waist, often used for close-to-mid range fire and suppressing enemy movement.
- Óskmey Longsword
- The Bael Gryps carries a pair of longswords in specialised moving scabbards on its back, using them when the Einherjar Blades are either lost or not powerful enough.
- Gryphon Mode
- A quadruped mode that allows the Bael Gryps to move faster on the ground but restricts access to the suit's handguns and swords. To compensate, the suit can use the back-mounted beam weapon as its ranged armament. As the suit can retain the use of its wings in both forms it can easily fly around the battlefield in Gryphon Mode.
- Óskmey Scabbard
- The longswords on the Gryps' back are carried in movable scabbards, attached via small sub-arms to allow them to be drawn or holstered quickly.

Castro's crucial hit a decade in the making
BOSTON -- Jason Castro was here for the worst of times, and he was gone before the best.
Castro was the Astros’ lone All-Star on their 111-loss 2013 team, their first pick in the Draft five years prior and a player they planned to build around more than a decade ago, without knowing how far off they were from reaching the pinnacle.
Yet here he was in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series, the stakes as high as ever for the 34-year-old -- two outs, two on in a tie game against October linchpin Nathan Eovaldi, in front of a roaring 38,010 and in a batter’s box that’s been graced by more than a century’s worth of the game’s greatest players.
The script had been authored. It just needed a dramatic delivery.
Castro had a 1-2 count against Eovaldi, then had the discipline to lay off a high-and-away curveball that just barely cleared the outer black for ball two. He exhaled as Eovaldi walked off the mound assuming a called strike three -- as did the rest of Fenway Park -- before zeroing back in, hunting anything middle and low.
And that’s precisely where Eovaldi’s next pitch was delivered. Castro yanked an off-plate splitter with authority to right field, sending Carlos Correa surging from second base to score the Astros' first run in a seven-spot ninth inning that evened this series at 2-2 and ensured it will return to Minute Maid Park on Friday.
“I think that's part of a kind of ebb-and-flow series,” Castro said. “Obviously, the last two games before those didn't, but to finish this one tonight the way that we did was special.”
How did Castro get the better of Boston’s best? Eovaldi’s 2018 heroics in the World Series are well-chronicled, but this was the first time he’d been deployed in a much-anticipated relief role this postseason. What was the approach in that tense tussle?
“With his stuff and his velocity and with the way I hit, I'm trying to get something that’s not at the top of the zone,” Castro said. “Where that curveball started … I’m trying to be smart about the pitches I go looking after. Where that pitch started, I didn't think that was a pitch I could pull the trigger on. It was a ball, and I was able to move on it the next pitch. That split was up enough that I could kind of stay through it. You have to respect his fastball with how hard he throws.”
Before considering that Castro is on Houston’s ALCS roster as a backup catcher, consider the challenge he faced when first entering the game in the seventh as a pinch hitter in low-50s temperatures with little time to prepare.
“What impressed me the most was that he was sitting on the bench for seven innings on a cold night,” Correa said. “And you don’t have a batting cage nearby here to warm up or anything, because the ballpark is so old. I don’t know how he did it, but I admire that. I can tell you, I wouldn’t be able to do that. Sitting down for that long, and then facing guys that are throwing 100 in crunch time? That’s special.”
Castro entered the game for Martín Maldonado, in part to help jumpstart an offense that had been the Majors’ best but has struggled to manufacture critical hits -- at least until he broke through in the ninth. And given his contribution, it could foreshadow how Houston approaches its catching situation the rest of the series.
Maldonado is highly valued for his game-calling ability and acumen with the Astros’ pitching staff, but he’s now 1-for-23 this postseason and hitless in the ALCS.
Castro hit lefties for a .561 OPS during the regular season -- well below the .917 mark he had against righties -- and southpaw Chris Sale will start for Boston in Game 5. Despite that disparity -- and given the way that Maldonado has slumped -- a consideration for Castro could be high on manager Dusty Baker’s mind.
Castro left immediately after Houston reached the postseason in 2015, the first of five playoff appearances in the six years after, including a championship parade in ‘17. So, regardless of how this series progresses, the Astro who was here when the times were the darkest shined awfully bright on Tuesday.
“I know he left and came back, and it seems to me like he’s always been an Astro,” said Jose Altuve, the only other Astro on this year's team who went through those three straight 100-loss seasons from 2011-13. “He likes to be here, he loves the team. I’m happy to play with him and I’m happy he’s doing really good like he’s doing.”

Is doing the right thing always right?
Well, it can be.
The answer is always this: “Doing the right thing is always the right thing.” Deep down you know what the right thing is and you know good from bad.
The knowledge you need to make better decisions comes from doing the right thing and seeing the result..
What is the right thing to do ethics?
Being ethical means you will do the right thing regardless of whether there are possible consequences—you treat other people well and behave morally for its own sake, not because you are afraid of the possible consequences. Simply put, people do the right thing because it is the right thing to do.
What is the right thing to do in life?
Improve Your Life: 10 Things You Should Do Every Day1) Get out in nature. You probably seriously underestimate how important this is. … 2) Exercise. We all know how important this is, but few people do it consistently. … 3) Spend time with friends and family. … 4) Express gratitude. … 5) Meditate. … 6) Get enough sleep. … 7) Challenge yourself. … 8) Laugh.More items…•May 28, 2012
Why is doing the right thing so hard?
The choice between what is right and what we want is particularly tough because it requires us to put down our stubbornness and hurt our own egos. It requires us to admit that we are wrong, that we are being selfish, and that we are in over our heads.
Does doing the right thing pay off?
No. In my experience, there is no definite payoff for “doing right”.
Do what is right not easy?
Do what is right, not what is easy nor what is popular. – Roy T. Bennett – Quotes Pedia.
How do we know if we’re doing the right thing?
You feel it in your heart. You ignore your mind for a moment, you close your eyes and you try to feel what’s in your heart. If you feel content, then it was the right thing. Always follow your heart and instinct for your decisions.
Why do I feel bad for doing the right thing?
Doing the right thing feels wrong because we’re being gaslighted by the very people who should be supporting us. … It can even make us feel like we must be in the wrong if we are so deeply impacted by something other people are saying we should just get over.
What do you call a person who think they are always right?
narcissist: a person who admires himself or herself too much, especially their appearance. A person who admires himself too much think that they are always right.
Why do I feel bad for being honest?
If you are not being honest, you are not being your authentic self. You are depriving others of knowing and experiencing the real you and having the opportunity to give you their authentic reactions to what you have to say. Perhaps others learn something from hearing your honest opinions.
What is the right thing?
The expression gets its power from the shades of meaning the word “right” has in the English language. To do “the right thing” means to make a choice among possibilities in favour of something the collective wisdom of humanity knows to be the way to act.
Why do I feel bad when I did nothing wrong?
If you have done nothing wrong but you still feel guilty, it might be because you fail to meet your overly high expectations for yourself. If you want everything you do to be perfect, you set yourself up for failure. No one on Earth is perfect, so give yourself a break and stop beating yourself up.

this will likely be the last upgrade I will perform to this guitar, and it might not even be a permanent one. It's an Alder body with Maple neckthru, and currently has an EMG 85 in the bridge, and an EMG HA in the neck. both pickups are run through an EMG SPC, with a master volume.
I want to go all-out in the bridge with something for high gain. In the neck, though, I'd like something more along the lines of a single-coil, though with enough output to compete, which is why I love the HA so much. I'm not opposed to wiring in a coil tap, or even just wiring one coil in and leaving the other out entirely. I use the guitar both for metal shows and open jazz nights, which is why that's important.
Any ideas? I've been thinking about going BKP, but I know that there are a ton of options out there and I don't want to make a decision without considering almost all of them.
Duncan Distortion and Jazz would be a good start.

Close on the heels of a late January announcement of fee changes aimed at eBay’s sellers, the company is implementing cuts in sellers’ fees in the media category, which includes such items as books, music and movies.
Close on the heels of a late January announcement of price cuts – and hikes – aimed at online auctioneer eBay Inc.’s sellers, the company has revealed cuts in sellers’ fees in the media category, which includes such items as books, music and movies. The company also promised to review its seller rating policy, one that has prompted a seller-driven call to boycott sales for a week beginning Feb. 18.
Starting Feb. 20 in the U.S., eBay will reduce its “insertion” fees to list items by 25% to 50%, John Donahoe, president and CEO-elect of eBay said in his keynote address at eBay’s third annual eCommerce Forum on Jan. 29 in Washington. EBay planned to offset that change by increasing the “final value” fees it charges when an item is sold.
The company also is eliminating fees in the U.S. for its Gallery option, which is intended to induce sellers to include more photos of the item for sale.
The fee changes were being made in the name of protecting buyers, Donahoe said. But the action brought complaints from sellers, particularly small players whose posts on an eBay sellers’ blog cried foul, with some terming the increases “extortion” and many calling for a sales boycott.
Whether the threatened boycott carried any weight hasn’t been acknowledged by eBay, but some form of seller complaints found their mark. The company announced a media fee reduction in a Feb. 11 posting by Lorrie Norrington, president, eBay global marketplace operations, on the company’s General Announcements news page in its community section.
“We heard your comments about the need for media and category-specific pricing,” Norrington said, noting that “we are accelerating our plan to phase in category-specific pricing for media. This fee cut will coincide with the site-wide pricing changes previously announced to take effect on February 20.”
Insertion fees that were previously 20 cents, 40 cents and 60 cents in three price tiers are slated to drop to 10, 25 and 35 cents, respectively.
A longer-standing issue is a ratings system change that ties negative seller ratings from buyers to payment restrictions. Too many low ratings could put sellers into a 21-day transaction hold until the buyer approves payment through eBay’s PayPal transaction service.
Per Donahoe’s speech, “eBay will begin decreasing search exposure for the listings of sellers who have high rates of customer dissatisfaction. Also, the company will begin requiring a safe payment option, such as PayPal or a major credit card, for sellers who have lower rates of customer satisfaction or who sell in categories that have a high number of buyer complaints.”
The payment hold has sellers up in arms because a few low ratings can bottle up payments. Some smaller sellers note that fee hikes are eliminating profits and, combined with the new bad ratings risk, means eBay is effectively driving them away.
Norrington’s post promised to watch the results of the new policy. “We will run these changes as announced in Washington, D.C., but we will closely monitor the data. If buyer trust in the marketplace is not improving as intended within the next six months, we will take action.”

What is interprofessional education?
"Interprofessional education occurs when students from two or more professions learn about, from, and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes. Once students understand how to work interprofessionally, they are ready to enter the workplace as a member of the collaborative practice team. This is a key step in moving health systems from fragmentation to a position of strength.

I made a mica globe for it just to set it off. The assembled lantern Its all good, few minor ajustments, and away it goes. I like the original look. VERY COOL.

“Mamá Blanca will never get to do this.” That’s what crossed my mind every time I thought about casting my ballot in New York City on Election Day. My 85-year-old grandmother has believed in the political project of statehood for Puerto Rico all of her life, but she’ll likely die without ever voting for a president or having real congressional representation. The very country that calls itself a beacon of liberty and democracy will never allow her the opportunity to exercise the right to vote in federal elections. That’s the curse of being born in the oldest colony in the world: Knowing that innumerable decisions affecting boricuas’ everyday lives are made by people hundreds of thousands of miles away whom they didn’t elect.
Being forced to leave Puerto Rico in 2014 to seek a better future allowed me the privilege of voting beyond local island elections, shedding the weight of boricuas’ second-class U.S. citizenship. Ever since then, I’ve cast a ballot thinking of the 3.2 million Puerto Rican sisters and brothers, and the more than 350,000 other colonial subjects in American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, who are denied the right to vote. I choose a president, as they can’t. I choose senators, as they can’t. I choose representatives who can actually vote in Congress, as they can’t. “Growing up, my parents taught me that voting wasn’t just about me and what I wanted but about my community and what it needed,” Micaela Torregrosa-Mahoney, who is boricua and lives in Florida, told me. “Some of the people I vote for here will have decision-making power over Puerto Rico, where half my family and friends still live.”
There is so much on the line for my loved ones back in Puerto Rico today: the island’s political status, that most of Congress refuses to address; the U.S. policies that keep the island in poverty; the all-consuming debt crisis that will be felt by generations; the disastrous handling of Hurricane Maria; the lack of access to affordable health care made worse by Medicaid caps; and so much more. Axel Diaz, who moved to Florida five years ago, voted in his first presidential election with the hope one day he’ll be able to return to Puerto Rico. “We need leadership that will help back home,” he said. The 20-year-old even registered 127 new Puerto Rican voters who moved to Florida after Maria.
Voting is an infuriating reminder that my home remains disenfranchised after 122 years of U.S. ownership.
Making home better can sometimes look like attempting to protect it from foreign adversaries for people like Hunter Blas, who is from the Chamoru diaspora and votes in California. “I’m thinking about the militarization of the region,” she told me. “[My family members said] the 2017 North Korea threat to Guam definitely felt brutal because it once again felt like, ‘We don’t call the shots, we didn’t vote for this president, and yet we’re in the crossfire of this foreign policy fight.’ I vote out of concern for my island, while at the same time with a lot of frustration over their disenfranchisement.”
I also feel the weight of this injustice. Voting is an infuriating reminder that my home remains disenfranchised after 122 years of U.S. ownership, that the racist U.S. Supreme Court decisions that determined our destiny a century ago remain the law of the land. Known as the Insular Cases, they determined that Puerto Rico and other territories “belong to, but are not part of” the United States and therefore, its citizens have limited constitutional rights. The court’s reasoning was that the islands were “inhabited by alien races,” and therefore governing them “according to Anglo-Saxon principles may for a time be impossible.”
Since then, our people have been given crumbs and expected to be grateful. To be understanding when people have no idea of your existence or only prop you up as a “fellow American citizen” when it’s convenient. To smile when they throw you paper towels as death surrounds you, to say “gracias” when they force you to follow the mandates of an imposed, undemocratic, unelected board. To proudly serve in the U.S. military at the highest rates in all the nation while maintaining second-class citizenship, or no citizenship at all. To accept being governed by people you can’t elect, or eject from office.
The list of indignities is long. But just like I’ve learned to live with the brutal winter cold away from my home, I’ve learned how to navigate the anger and powerlessness that comes from being a child of the colonial experiment. While some feel that their vote won’t make a difference, I believe casting a ballot is a small way to push for a better future on the island. “Voting here felt like a superpower I had never had,” Viviana Tirado, a 26-year-old Puerto Rican who relocated stateside last year, told me. “I thought of the political and economic reasons that brought me to Texas. I thought of my mom, who always told me I should vote because women had to fight for that right. I thought of my dad, who died in April in the midst of the pandemic.”
There is power in casting a vote from the diaspora, and there is power in reminding Americans of the four million colonial subjects who still have no voice in the federal electoral process. It’s undemocratic, and it should end. But until that happens, my ballot will be a quiet love letter to Mamá Blanca and los míos.

The Community Health Department (CHD) of the UMN Hospital, Tansen
For over 40 years the former Community Health and Development Project (CHDP) of the UMN used its skill and experience in integrated development work to serve the people of Palpa. Upon its closure in 2002 the UMHT leadership saw the importance of partnering with local communities to enable them to meet their health needs as well as continuing to assist in the provision of high quality primary health services. They also saw the need to assist the staff of the Government Health Services to improve their overall ability to provide quality health services to people in rural Palpa. Therefore, the Community Health Department of the UMHT was born. Mission:
The Mission of the CHD is to improve the quality of life of the people of Palpa District by providing high quality primary health care and to provide training in primary health care.
To improve the quality of life of the people of Palpa District through the provision of high quality primary health care and to provide training for medical, nursing and paramedical students and other personnel.
To improve the linkage of health care from the community level to the hospital level.
To create partnerships with the local community to enable them to address their health needs.
Overall the CHD is concerned with helping people to transform their lives in order to enable them to have better control of their health and therefore their future. We believe that this change can come about through community awareness, empowerment, and strengthening those within the community who are currently involved in the provision of health care.
The CHD runs a collection of several programs that are aimed at improving access to quality health care to those who are beyond the reach of the dispensary, and empowering communities to address their own wider health needs. Removing the social, cultural, geographical and economic barriers to care are essential.
Brief Program Descriptions:
Mother and Child Health Centre (MCHC)
The MCHC (commonly called Town Clinic) is situated on the District Hospital premises in Tansen. It is a busy clinic providing antenatal care, post-natal care, family planning counselling and services, health education, under-five care, and immunizations. It logged over 10000 patient encounters in the last year. It also serves as a training site for RN students, midwifery students, UMHT medical residents and other district health personnel.
Satellite Maternal Child Health Clinics (SMCHC)
The SMCHC program is an attempt to reproduce the services and quality of care provided at Town Clinic in several rural locations within the District. We are currently partnering with one village and have identified two other rural areas where women have not had access to good MCH care. In the process we also hope to raise the quality of services provided at the local health facilities. As with the Health Post Strengthening Program (HSPS) this program has been temporarily suspended in two of the three sites due to security issues.
Health Post Strengthening Program (HSPS)
Within Palpa District there are nine Health Posts (HP) and three Primary Health Centres (PHC). The CHD has a working relationship with nine of these Government facilities. The main emphasis of the HPSP is to build the capacity of the HP/PHC staff to enable them to correctly diagnose and treat the many patients who visit their facilities. This is done through periodically scheduled visits to these rural facilities by UMHT medical and nursing staff. Unfortunately, this program is temporarily suspended due to the political unrest in the country.
UMHT Referral System
All Government health facilities within Palpa District now have the ability to refer all medical, obstetric and dental patients to the UMHT for advanced evaluation and treatment without having to pay the doctors evaluation fee. Our referral system not only enables rural people the benefit of access to proper diagnosis and treatment but also enables the CHD to give constructive feedback to the rural health facilities when they come to Tansen for periodic District meetings.
Child Nutrition Rehabilitation/Community Health Centre (CNR/CHC)
For many years the problem of poor nutrition has been identified as a causative factor in the increased morbidity and mortality of the people of Palpa. This is always most pronounced in children. The CNR/CHC will be a multi-purpose residential facility that can house up to four families at a time to aggresively teach and demonstrate good nutrititional practices as well as help the families (specifically mothers) to become more aware of preventative health measures. The CNC/CHC will not only help reduce malnutrition but also educate the people of Palpa regarding multiple aspects of Community Health and Development. This will be in cooperation with other INGO and NGOs in Palpa. We are currently in the building process and hope to begin operations within the next fiscal year.
Tansen Naggar Pallika (TNP) Postpartum Program (PPP)
Many women in Palpa give birth to their children in the home and often have no skilled care for the first few weeks after birth. This can lead to the death of the mother or child. The maternal and infant mortality rates in Nepal are high and show us the extent of this problem. The TNP/PPP visits, examines, counsels and cares for all postpartum women and their children in the home during the first two weeks after birth. This is done by CHD staff and local FCHVs or volunteers in cooperation with the local Tole Lane Organizations of the TNP.
Healthy Schools Programs
The children of today are the future of Nepal. We feel that teaching children to live healthier lives is a good step in health promotion and disease reduction. This program is geared to help Nepali children to have a better understanding of health issues and health promotion. We feel that this can occur if we assist the teachers to better teach health in the curriculum as well as providing an environment of healthy living for the children. The program will focus on health screening examinations, health education, oral health, sanitation and community involvement. Four initial schools were identified and the program began in May 2005, at the beginning of the Nepali school year.
Female Community Health Volunteer Refresher Training
In each Ward of all Village Development Committees of our district a local repesentative is chosen by the community to act as the Female Community Health Volunteer (FCHV). She is a voice for women and children. She is given basic education about how to prevent and teach about the common illnesses and birth-associated problems seen in Nepal. These women need to have current and relevant encouragement to do their work in an appropriate way. The CHD with the help of the District Public Health Service will begin a concerted effort to encourage and enable these volunteers to do their scheduled tasks in preventing and identifying health related issues in their communities. We hope that all 615 FCHVs in Palpa District will attend our five-day refresher training program within the next five years.

More McDonald’s customers will soon have access to garlic fries.
The Oak Brook, Ill.-based burger giant said Thursday that it is expanding the availability of its Gilroy Garlic Fries, in test in San Francisco, to the entire Bay Area — 240 locations in all — starting July 27.
The expansion comes less than three months after the chain started testing the fries at four locations. The fries are flavored with a mix of garlic from Gilroy, Calif., which is 80 miles south of San Francisco, along with olive oil, parmesan cheese, parsley and salt.
“McDonald’s has a longstanding history of creativity and innovation,” said Nick Vergis, co-op president at McDonald’s in the San Francisco Bay Area. “McDonald’s Gilroy Garlic Fries is a unique, regional offering that is tailored to Bay Area tastes. The innovation of this new menu item is due in large part to our local franchisees and their commitment to providing food our customers want.”
The test was successful. Reports in May noted that the locations serving the fries were running out of the product.
The test expansion comes as McDonald’s works to improve its quality perception, while also pushing items unique to specific markets. McDonald’s has created a website to tell customers where its potatoes, fish and apples come from. It has also served lobster rolls in New England.
McDonald’s is touting the fries, as well as the supplier of the garlic used in the product. Gilroy is nicknamed “The Garlic Capital of the World.” McDonald’s says the garlic comes from the Christopher Ranch in Gilroy, the largest garlic production operation in the U.S.
The product is also an expansion of the chain’s popular and iconic fries. McDonald’s has also tested Shakin’ Flavor seasoned fries in some locations.

8.75" single-edged clip point blade with 2.75" false edge. 12.007" overall length with 4.25" hilt and 3.05" scalloped German silver cross guard and .4" German silver bolster. Carved elephant ivory grip with scalloped motif at hilt. Reverse ricasso is marked *ENOCH DRABBLE* in an arc over ROYAL CUTLER. The reverse of the blade is further marked ARKANSAS in an arc over TOOTH / PICK. The knife was produced circa 1845 and was almost certainly produced for the American market, based upon the blade markings. Knife is accompanied by a German silver mounted leather scabbard with a pebble grain finish that is missing the frog button. The scabbard measured 10" in length and has been added to the knife, as alluded to in the accompanying letter. The knife was acquired from Norm Flayderman & Company in 2015, after Mr. Flayderman's death and letter on the company letterhead regarding the knife is included. The knife is further accompanied by an ESA Antique Ivory Certification from noted appraiser John Sexton, certifying the antique status of the ivory used for the grip.
Provenance:Ex-Norm Flayderman collection. ESA Ivory certification by John Sexton.
Very good. Blade retains some of the original polish with scattered surface oxidation, discoloration and some minor roughness and pitting near the tip. Markings remain mostly legible, blade shows some sharpening marks as well as two nicks about 2.75" from the tip. Grip very good with a nearly full-length crack along the center of the obverse grip and several smaller cracks on both sides of the grip. All remain tight and secure and there is no apparent weakness of loss. Scabbard about good, with tarnished mounts and the frog button missing.
