US leadership needed to prevent nuclear testing by North Korea
North Korea’s nuclear weapons test explosion underscores the need for stronger US leadership to prevent the testing, spread, and use of the world’s most dangerous weapons. US ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty would set a clear international standard.
Jon Chol Jin/AP
Four years ago, President Obama warned that “the threat of global nuclear war has gone down, but the risk of a nuclear attack has gone up.” Last week, North Korea’s nuclear weapons test explosion – its third and the world’s 2,053rd – underscored the urgent need for stronger barriers to prevent the testing, spread, and use of the world’s most dangerous weapons.
In his first term, Mr. Obama made significant progress to reduce nuclear dangers. This included cuts in excess US and Russian cold-war nuclear stockpiles and locking up vulnerable nuclear material from terrorists. But there is more to be done.
US leadership is especially critical to the implementation of the 1996 Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), which bans all nuclear test explosions. The United States and 183 other nations have signed the test-ban treaty, but America must still ratify the treaty to bring it into force.
The US has not conducted a nuclear test explosion for more than 20 years. Since there is no technical or military need to do so ever again, ratifying the treaty would not hinder US nuclear readiness. Other countries like North Korea, or even China, however, could use further nuclear tests to perfect more sophisticated and deadly warhead designs. US ratification of the treaty would send a clear message to nuclear capable countries like Pakistan, India, and North Korea that are not signatories. And it would establish a clear norm for countries like China and Iran that have both signed, but not ratified, the treaty.

Re:Gender works to end gender inequity and discrimination against girls and women by exposing root causes and advancing research-informed action. Working with multiple sectors and disciplines, we are shaping a world that demands fairness across difference.
December 5, 2008 posted by admin Michelle wakes up in the morning, takes a long satisfied stretch, and reaches for her blackberry resting on the nightstand. (Barack has already gotten the girls breakfast and taken them to school.) She’s got a lot of exciting issues to tackle today in her role as Partner-to-the-President: more family-friendly work policy, the reform and revitalization of public education, and the expansion of benefits and support for veterans and their families. Her calendar is chockfull of meetings with thought leaders and feminist politicians, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who she has come to consider a close friend and colleague and a group of community organizers—Adrienne Marie Brown, Majora Carter, Maria Teresa Petersen, Jehmu Greene etc.—that she is mentoring and bringing into the White House for personal meetings with the President and his team.
Posted December 5, 2008 by Kyla Bender-Baird In this year’s historic election, young voters played a decisive role in determining our new President. According to exit polls, 68% of voters between the ages of 18 and 29 voted for Obama compared to 45% of voters 65 and up. In California, it has been speculated that if only younger voters cast their ballots, Proposition 8—the initiative which stripped same-sex couples of their right to marry—would never have passed. And yet, this is a generation often accused of political apathy. What galvanized young voters this year to push past cynicism and turn out on voting day?
December 2, 2008 posted by admin While President-elect Obama called on Monday for "a new dawn of American leadership," his selection of Hillary Clinton as our country's next Secretary of State brings a well-known, and in many instances well-liked, face to the international scene. It is this mix of familiarity joined with fresh perspective that will allow Clinton to rebuild our nation's relationships with the world's leaders. According to The New York Times, the team assembled by Obama calls for a "sweeping foreign policy shift," geared to "strengthening the tools needed to deal with unconventional threats." A well-funded and active state department is indeed central to this goal. But building the opportunities to make this shift requires the mending of U.S.
December 2, 2008 posted by admin "Senator Clinton's accession to Secretary of State will be an unprecedented opportunity for women at long last to take their rightful place shoulder-to-shoulder in the international community as leaders, as peers, and as beings whose human rights are as important, valued and 'inalienable' as those of men. Too long the human rights community has dismissed women's rights as important, but not 'human rights' and therefore not important enough to be addressed by their gigantic and well-funded organizations.
“As Barack Obama introduced Hillary Clinton as his nominee for Secretary of State on Monday, the wish of many during the heated presidential primaries came true: that there would be an opportunity to use the immense skills of both to tackle the enormous problems we face. There is no question that both realize they are being handed the most delicate of assignments. With Clinton's history of working for the rights of women, we expect that she will fold into her portfolio the fate of the women of the world—those targeted by acid in Pakistan, rape in the Congo, and hunger everywhere. Until these issues of personal security are resolved, it is unlikely that so-called high-level treaties will hold.”
Linda Basch: What three recommendations do you have for Timothy Geithner, our next Treasury Secretary?
Sara Gould: First, we must strongly urge that the next Secretary ensure that the $700 billion bailout and other actions designed to address the economic crisis prioritize getting relief to communities that need it most. It’s not enough to rely on support for large banks to trickle down to middle and low-income people who are disproportionately affected by the plummeting economy—particularly when the banks’ share of the bailout came with few regulations and the conditions it did come with are being defied (see Naomi Klein’s article in The Nation). Instead, the next Treasury Secretary should require that financial institutions use the bailout money for lending to consumers—instead of to boost the value of its shares. In addition to accountability and comprehensive regulations that apply to bailed-out banks and beyond, s/he should insist upon transparency and reveal exactly where the money is going and how it is being used. It is especially critical that the bailout money be used to help people who are facing or already in foreclosure—the majority of whom are likely women and people of color, as they were most likely to receive sub-prime loans in the first place. One promising option is to support FDIC chairperson Sheila Bair’s proposal to use $25 billion of the bailout to provide mortgage relief to homeowners. Her proposal would offer incentives to loan servicers to restructure mortgages, making payments more affordable. Second, an economic stimulus should be passed quickly. It should include immediate relief such as the extension of unemployment benefits as well as programs like job creation and training that will ensure economic stability for low- and middle-income people over the long-term. Any economic stimulus package should be sure to address the urgent needs of those who have been most impacted by the crisis, especially low-income women, women of color and their families. Recent statistics show that women are losing jobs at twice the rate of men.Third, we must return to a system of progressive taxation in which people with high incomes and net worth provide a larger share of tax revenues. New revenue should go towards domestic stimulus programs such as job training and infrastructure rebuilding as well as for key social and economic supports that have been eroded over the last two decades.
November 7, 2008 posted by Linda Basch Linda Basch: What is your vision for an Obama administration? Who are your ideal Cabinet picks? What new offices, government departments, or agencies would you like to see set up?(We invite your biggest-sky thinking here, far out of the box!)Carol Jenkins: Wouldn’t it be wonderful, given that women determined this victory, that all of the photo-ops we are beginning to see included as many women as men—as many people of color as non. The early signals about an Obama administration are crucial. This is not the time to reflexively turn to the “old hands” of previous administrations. New ideas are needed, fresh thinking is needed. The “old hands” have brought us to the brink of economic collapse.
November 7, 2008 Posted by Rita Henley Jensen, Founder and Editor-in-Chief, Women’s eNews As The Memo: A Status Report on U.S. Women produced this summer by Women's eNews documents, we’ve seen a decline in U.S. women's wellbeing during the last decade: Our labor force participation is down; the wage gap is persistent, women's health indicators are falling, violence against women is likely to increase during the recession and lesbian or suspected lesbians who are in the military are most likely to be discharged under the Ask Don't Tell policy. Bias against women is systematic and needs to be addressed in a systematic way. To move women and the issues women care about most from the margins to the center in this new administration, President Obama should hold a joint monthly with the women's caucuses of the House and Senate. He should also consider the suggestions outlined below. New Appointments, Task Forces, and Advisory Positions I have two strong candidates for the Secretary of Treasury Post and both are brilliant and neither has made public statements insulting women's abilities in math and science, as has Lawrence Summers, who is currently under consideration. They are: 1. Brooksley E. Born is now chair of the board of the National Women's Law Center. From 1996 to 1999 she was chair of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission the federal government agency that oversees the futures and commodity option markets and futures professionals. While at the CFTC, Born served as a member of the President's Working Group on Financial Markets and the Technical Committee of the International Organization of Securities Commissions. She was fired from her post because she dared to urge tighter regulation of trading in derivatives. She was given her pink slip by none other than, yes indeed, , Mr. Shortlist for Treasury Secretary himself, best know for challenging the existence of gender bias and for his statement that "innate differences" between men and women might explain why fewer women succeed in those careers.

Abstract: Intelligent mobile robots interacting with an uncertain and dynamic environment should be able to identify their own goals and perform tasks based on goals and their interactions with the environment. In addition, they should have planning, control, and reaction capabilities spanning several orders of magnitude in reaction time and solution complexity. We present a conceptual architecture for intelligent mobile robots that adheres to these specifications. "B-Robot" is a heterogeneous architecture inspired by the gross anatomy and physiology of the mammalian central nervous system. It combines goal-and task-level reasoning and planning skills with intermediate-level servo control loops and low-level reactivity.

We investigated the process of recovery from anorexia nervosa using grounded theory. Open-ended interviews conducted with 9 women who had recovered from anorexia nervosa revealed that recovery focused on rediscovery and redefinition of the self and included the following: (1) seeing the dangers, (2) inching out of anorexia, (3) tolerating exposure without anorexia, (4) gaining perspective by changing the anorexia mindset, and (5) discovering and reclaiming self as "good enough." The process of recovery described in this study may provide a useful framework for helping women understand their own process of recovery efforts. The findings also support therapies that foster therapeutic alliance, acknowledge readiness for change, and promote a senses of autonomy.
Rehabilitation from a mental or physical disorder can become complicated when patients feel overwhelmed by symptoms and unable to make progress. Newer behavioral approaches have been developed that can help these patients. This article describes behavioral activation techniques designed to address depression.
As part of a general population telephone survey (N=3006), respondents were asked their beliefs about alcohol problems. The majority of respondents were skeptical about the possibility of untreated and of moderate drinking recoveries. The predominant conceptions of the nature of alcohol problems were those of a disease or of drug addiction. Beliefs about the need for treatment and abstinence were positively associated with being female, older, and married. Current heavy drinkers were less likely to believe that treatment was needed. Former heavy drinkers were more likely to believe that abstinence was required, as compared to all other respondents.
Worries about the immediate and long-term consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic may for some individuals develop into pervasive worry that is disproportionate in its intensity or duration and significantly interferes with everyday life.
The aim of this study was to investigate if a brief self-guided, online psychological intervention can reduce the degree of dysfunctional worry related to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated symptoms.
670 adults from the Swedish general population reporting daily uncontrollable worry about CO-VID-19 and its possible consequences (e.g., illness, death, the economy, one's family) were randomised (1:1 ratio) to a 3-week self-guided, online cognitive behavioural intervention targeting dysfunctional COVID-19 worry and associated symptoms, or a waiting list of equal duration. The primary outcome measure was a COVID-19 adapted version of the Generalised Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale administered at baseline and weeks 1-3 (primary endpoint). Follow-up assessments were conducted 1 month after treatment completion. The trial was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04341922) before inclusion of the first participant.
The main pre-specified intention-to-treat analysis indicated significant reductions in COVID-19-related worry for the intervention group compared to the waiting list (ß = 1.14, Z = 9.27, p
The Montréal Longitudinal Study of Disruptive Boys, an experimental study, was designed to understand boys who were considered disruptive in kindergarten. One part of the study involved assessing effects of a preventive treatment program carried out during the boys' early years in primary school. This paper reports on the outcome of the randomized treatment experiment 3 years after treatments ended. Disruptive boys were randomly allocated to a treated group and two nontreated groups. Treatment consisted of parent training and training of boys for social skills, fantasy play and television viewing. Results suggest that the treatment program had some positive effects. Some of the improvements were not evident immediately after treatment ended.
The objective of this study was to conduct a randomized controlled trial to examine the effects of a way-finding intervention on residents' ability to find their way in a new environment. The effect of the intervention on the residents' spatial orientation and agitation were also examined. The study was conducted on four nursing home units in a geriatric center and the final sample consisted of 32 residents with Alzheimer's disease (17 in the treatment group and 15 in the control group). The intervention consisted of the use of a location map and a behavioral training technique, which was provided to residents over the course of a month. Repeated measures analysis of variance and McNemar tests were used to compare the groups in regard to changes in the outcomes over time. Results indicated that the residents' in the treatment group demonstrated an increased ability to find their way to the dining room one week after the intervention. The intervention effect was not sustained three months later.

(AT&T Performing Arts Center)
Are you interested in this business?
The Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre will be one of the world's most innovative theatre facilities. The 12-level building will feature a groundbreaking design with an unprecedented "stacked," vertically organized facility that completely rethinks the traditional form of theatre. The Wyly Theatre was designed by REX/OMA, Joshua Prince-Ramus (partner in charge) and Pritzker Prize-winning architect Rem Koolhaas. Unlike a typical theatre setting, where support spaces wrap around the stage house, this unique design for the Wyly Theatre places these spaces either above or below the auditorium, enabling maximum interaction and flexibility of performance space and seating. The facility's advanced mechanized "superfly" system can pull up both scenery and seating, allowing artistic directors to rapidly change the venue to a wide array of configurations, including proscenium, thrust and flat floor, depending on stage configuration. The flexibility of the facility will allow the Wyly Theatre to host a wide range of classical and experimental drama, dance and musical productions, world-renowned vocalists and dance troupes. The transparent exterior of the Potter Rose Performance Hall will allow for outside pedestrian views into the Wyly Theatre, as well as audience views of the surrounding outdoor areas. The glass acoustic enclosure will include black-out blinds that can be opened or closed for performances, allowing the option of having the Dallas skyline as a backdrop. The upper portions of the building will be clad in pre-fabricated aluminum panels with random repetitions of vertical venetians, creating a textured effect. The 600-seat Potter Rose Performance Hall will provide new state-of-the-art performance space for the Dallas Theater Center, Dallas Black Dance Theatre and Anita N. Martinez Ballet Folklorico, as well as numerous other performing arts organizations that serve Dallas and the region.

Defensive use of firearms gets little publicity in the MainStream Media. For those that pay attention to incidents of this nature that are reported or hear the background involved there is a compelling reason to move to a larger caliber round from my current CZ-75 in 9x19mm.
This is why I face an agonizing dillema; whether to purchase a SigArms P220 or a Glock 21 in .45ACP.
I am not considering a 1911 style weapon due to the price required for reliability that I can find for less elsewhere.
There are P220's available in a barely used state for $550 but a new Glock 21 with two magazines is ony $500.
Either weapon would be an excellent additional to the defense of home and hearth.
I have always liked Sig products. Wonderful fit and finish, yet they are pricey devils.
Glock products have proven themselves incredibly reliable and robust with the added benefit of my not despairing over holster wear which would be very evident on the Sig products.
There is also the added benefit of having 13 rounds in each magazine compared to the seven or eight in the "plus one" magazines of the SigArms P220. While I do not foresee needing the additional six rounds when using .45ACP, indeed the legendary stopping power of this round is what it would be the reason behind the purchase, it would be comforting to have it there if the situation called for it.
This is not to say that I have been dissatisfied with the performance or value of the CZ products I have owned. Indeed I would have no qualms about purchasing an additional CZ-75 or CZ-85 should a good buy present itself.
I do not doubt that the CZ-97, the .45ACP upsized version of the CZ-75 family, would perform more than adequately in the home defense role.


El Salvador celebrates beatification of 2 priests, 2 lay people
San Salvador, Jan 22 (EFE).- Priests Rutilio Grande and Cosme Spessotto, and lay people Nelson Lemus and Manuel Solórzano, became new martyrs of the Catholic Church of El Salvador on Saturday when they were beatified more than 40 years after their deaths during the civil war.
The ritual was carried out in a festive atmosphere with a small number of attendees due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
“With our apostolic authority we grant that the venerable servants of God – Rutilio Grande, Manuel Solórzona and Nelson Lemus, as well as Cosme Spessotto – martyrs, heroic witnesses of the kingdom of God and the kingdom of justice (…) from now on be called blessed,” Father Rodolfo Cardenal proclaimed when reading the apostolic letter sent by Pope Francis.
The beatification, led by Cardinal Gregorio Rosa Chavez, was celebrated by attendees with a long applause, while a huge portrait with the faces of the four martyrs was unveiled amid shouts of joy.
On March 12, 1977, Jesuit Father Grande, Lemus and Solórzano were traveling from Aguilares to Grande’s hometown El Paisnal for a novena when they were gunned down by a paramilitary death squad, according to the Vatican News.
Catholic parishioners and residents of El Paisnal celebrated the beatification of their pastor, watching the ceremony on screens in the center of town, while others walked there after gathering at the monument known as the Three Crosses.
The Italian Spessotto, who was born in 1923 in Mansuè (Treviso) and was assigned to the central municipality of San Juan Nonualco, was shot dead on June 14, 1980 while he was kneeling in a church pew.
Each one had, in their own ways, spoken up for the poor and denounced the attacks by security forces against the civilian population, as well as other human rights violations. EFE

Specialist silver sales are a rarer breed than they used to be. None have been held in the capital so far this year.
However, in the coming weeks, the collecting community will be treated to an array of events that promise to test all aspects of the market – from collectable smallwork and venerable family silver to a spectacular example of Regency royal plate.
When Prince Frederick, the second son of George III, died in January 1827 leaving huge debts, his executors took the unprecedented step of quickly selling a royal collection at public auction.
Within two months of his demise, the Duke of York’s silver was offered at Christie’s across an unreserved four-day, ticket-only sale from March 19-22.
Alongside the celebrated Shield of Achilles on the title page of the auction catalogue was a massive nine-light silver-gilt centrepiece on the theme of the second labour of Hercules made by Edward Cornelius Farrell (1775-1850).
When it was knocked down for £343 5s 6d, or roughly a quarter of what it had cost the duke a decade earlier, auctioneer James Christie II lamented: “I feel sorry for the sacrifice which has been made in this article. I feel greater grief that the workmanship of the artist is valued so low.”
Acquired by a descendent of Sir Clive Milnes-Coates (1879-1972), it remained at the family seat of Helperby Hall, Yorkshire, until it was sold by Christie’s in 1967. Its last appearance at auction was in 2004 when it went unsold as part of the Ruxton and Love collection at Christie’s New York.
The Hercules centrepiece of 1824-25 is the bestknown work from an extraordinary group of more than a dozen pieces of silver made by Farrell for the Duke of York under the direction of the retailer and antiquarian, Kensington Lewis (1790-1854).
These early examples of 19th century historicism are based on a variety of eclectic sources – in this case both Renaissance and baroque designs.
Weighing 1128oz, the much-published and exhibited piece comes under the hammer at Christie’s later this month – nearly 200 years after that first auction – with an estimate of £400,000- 600,000. It is among a treasure trove of English and Continental silver and silver gilt from the collection of property magnate Robert de Balkany (1931-2015).
The March 22-23 sale includes over 700 works of art from two residences: Palazzo Lancellotti in Rome, the interior of which was designed by Federico Forquet, and Château Balsan in Eze, which was decorated by Jacques Garcia. Sotheby’s Paris sold the €13m contents of the de Balkany Hôtel de Feuquières at Rue de Varenne, Paris, in September 2016.
Alongside more than two dozen German 17th century ‘pineapple’ cups, two other works by Farrell feature in the collection – a pair of George IV ewers (London, 1826), cast and chased with putti and satyrs, and a set of 12 George III triton salt cellars and spoons (London, 1817). They each carry estimates of £100,000-150,000.
On March 28, two collections make the journey from Scotland to Sotheby’s Bond Street.
Each tells the story of a venerable family: the ancient and noble earls and marquesses of Lothian and the Forbes of Pitsligo, whose success was rooted in the economic prosperity of the Union.
The William III Britannia standard silver punch bowl by Anthony Nelme (London, 1701) comes to market for the first time in over three centuries.
The engraved arms to both the bowl and the associated cover (marked for Edinburgh, 1748) are those of the Wishart family of Pitarrow, Forfar.
Probably given as a gift to mark the marriage of Margaret Wishart (b.1680) to Daniel Stuart of Castlemilk (1670-1708), it came by descent to Sir John Stuart (1752-1821) of Fettercairn who recorded in his will “a silver tureen and cover, having the arms of Wishart engraved thereon, as an heirloom to be preserved in his family at Fettercairn”.
Weighing a total of 78oz, the Fettercairn bowl carries an estimate of £12,000-18,000.
The March 27 silver sale at London Auctions in Chiswick features a collection of regimental silver from the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers headquarters.
This mix of presentation pieces and typical mess hall comes from the Royal Lancashire Fusiliers, the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers, the Royal Warwickshire Fusiliers and the City of London Royal Fusiliers.
The proceeds of the sale will be used by the regiment for charitable purposes.
Much is English Georgian and Victorian silver, but here is a Chinese incense burner with dragon feet marked Arnold Sterling.
The inscription reads: Presented To The 1st Battalion The Lancashire Fusiliers By The British Community of Tien Tsen As A Token Of Appreciation Of The Service Rendered By The Battalion During The Sino-Japanese Hostilities 1937-1938.
Standing 20in (51cm) and weighing 59oz, the estimate is £1500-2500.
To give an idea of scale, the teapot to this rare Irish provincial miniature service is just over 2in (6cm) high. It is made in much the same way as its full-size equivalent and, says Lawrences specialist Alex Butcher, might well have been a salesman’s sample.
The three pieces have slight differences to the bright cut engraving but are all marked for John Whelpley of Cork, c.1800.
From the personal collection of a deceased dealer, it carries an estimate of £2000-3000 at Lawrences of Crewkerne on April 4.
Woolley & Wallis
The April 25-25 silver sale at Woolley & Wallis in Salisbury plays host to a number of private collections including one of caddy spoons and another of wine labels.
Specialist Rupert Slingsby describes the array of more than 3000 wine labels, assembled over many years by a recently deceased collector, as the finest he has ever handled.
It will be dispersed across a number of sales with the first part including a number of rarities such as an unmarked white wine label c.1790 formed as a sun with a shoe with a spur engraved to the face. The estimate is £300-400.
The collection of caddy spoons formed by a private lady numbers more than 400 examples to be sold in 120 lots over two sales (April and July).
The collection has a strong emphasis on Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau and modern caddy spoons – a buoyant area of this market and a contrast to the modest sums now paid for many of the traditional Georgian caddy spoons.
Over 40 Arts & Crafts spoons in the sale include a spot-hammered example by Bernard Intone (Birmingham, 1928), with a circular spot-hammered bowl and handle pierced with apples on a tree. Again the estimate is £300-400.

The Amazon move follows an earlier offering by open source Web site management firm Hyperic.
Amazon.com on Monday added more Web services to its EC2 cloud so customers can better manage the applications they send to run in the cloud.
CloudWatch will monitor the resources being used by an EC2 application. It provides visibility into CPU usage, disk reads and writes, and network traffic. With the metrics provided, the user can see operational performance and overall demand patterns as the application utilizes the resources it's been assigned, Peter DeSantis, general manager of EC2, said in a statement.
The tools start to aggregate and store operational data within minutes of an EC2 application startup, he said.
Auto Scaling will allow an EC2 customer to scale up an application, or scale it back down. By setting quality-of-service or response-time parameters, the EC2 user can ensure that the number of instances of a running application will scale up during demand spikes and back down as demand falls, said DeSantis. Auto Scaling is enabled by using CloudWatch. Paying fees for CloudWatch allows use of Auto Scaling, he said.
Elastic Load Balancing will allow an EC2 user to automatically distribute application traffic across multiple EC2 instances, so the workload never exceeds the available capacity and the application gains a measure of fault tolerance. Elastic Load Balancing recognizes when an application instance is underperforming, and routes traffic to healthy instances, until the unhealthy instances can be restored, said DeSantis.
CloudWatch and Elastic Load Balancing are available immediately on a pay-as-you-go basis. The new services improve the reliability of applications running in the cloud, Simon Plant, Capgemini's lead for cloud computing, said in the announcement. Capgemini is an IT consulting and outsourcing firm.
"Monitoring cloud assets, scaling capacity automatically, and balancing traffic efficiently has been among the most requested Amazon EC2 features," said DeSantis.
The Amazon move follows an earlier offering by the open source Web site management firm Hyperic, which announced a cloud application monitoring service for EC2 in November. Hyperic is now part of the open source company SpringSource.

Two ingredient guacamole! Because we don’t always feel like dragging out a cutting board. And sometimes our cilantro is slimy.
I have absolutely no idea how many times I’ve made guacamole – especially lately. We eat at least one (sometimes 3) a day.
Most of the time they get made into guac. But because I don’t always have everything on hand for my favorite guacamole recipe, (or because I’m lazy) I’ve started making lazy guacamole. There are only three things in this:
1. An avocado
2. Salt, pepper, & garlic powder. I have a blend I use, but you can just use a pinch of each.
3. Peperoncini juice (you know, the peppers they stick on the Olive Garden Salads)
I know, a strange addition. I was out of limes one day, and I searched for a substitute and tried the juice from the peperoncini jar.
The acidity brightened the flavor and kept the avocados from turning brown, just like lime juice would.
Plus the juice gave it a hint of heat. I love it. I love that it’s fast and easy and that the only cutting required is to open the avocado. And peperoncinis last a lo-o-o-ong time in the fridge — like pickles.
So I’m always ready to be lazy.
- 1 avocado
- Pinches of salt, pepper, and garlic powder
- 1-3 Tablespoons peperoncini juice, to taste
Remove peel and pit from the avocado and place the rest in a bowl. Sprinkle on the seasoning and splash on the juice. Mash with a fork.

The primarily used equipment in crushing are-jaw crushers, gyratory crushers and cone crushers whereas rod mills and ball mills, closed circuited with a classifier unit, are generally employed for grinding purposes in a mineral processing plant.

Manage episode 315969366 series 1046937
In this, the seventh Norse Myth of ten, the mighty sword of the Viking God Tyr grants victory and death in equal measure across great empires...Tyr’s Sword Carves Destiny and Victory.
Tyr, Tiu, or Ziu was the son of Odin, and, according to different storytellers, his mother was Frigga, queen of the gods, or a beautiful giantess whose name is unknown, but who was a personification of the raging sea. He is the god of martial honour, and one of the twelve principal deities of Asgard. Although he appears to have had no special dwelling there, he was always welcome to Vingolf or Valhalla, and occupied one of the twelve thrones in the great council hall of Glads-heim.
Tyr, whose name was synonymous with bravery and wisdom, was also considered by the ancient Northern folk to have the white-armed Valkyrs, Odin’s attendants, at his command, and they thought that he it was who designated the warriors whom they should be transferred to Valhalla to aid the gods on the last day, the end of the world, Ragnarök.
As the God of courage and of war, Tyr was frequently invoked by the various nations of the North, who cried to him, as well as to Odin, to obtain victory. That he ranked next to Odin and Thor is proved by his name, Tiu, having been given to one of the days of the week, Tiu’s day, which in modern English has become Tuesday. Under the name of Ziu, Tyr was the principal divinity of the Suabians in the first century region of the Upper Rhine and Danube, who originally called their capital, the modern Augsburg in Bavaria, Ziusburg. These people, venerating the god as they did, worshipped him under the emblem of a sword, his distinctive attribute, and in his honour held great sword dances, where various figures were performed. Sometimes the participants forming two long lines, crossed their swords, point upward, and challenged the boldest among their number to take a flying leap over them. At other times the warriors joined their sword points closely together in the shape of a rose or wheel, and when this figure was complete invited their chief to stand on the navel thus formed of flat, shining steel blades, and then they bore him upon it through the camp in triumph. The sword point was further considered so sacred that it became customary to register oaths upon it.
A distinctive feature of the worship of this god among the Franks and some other Northern nations was that the priests called Druids or Godi offered up human sacrifices upon his altars, these sacrifices were made upon rude stone altars called dolmens, which can still be seen in Northern Europe and parts of the British Isle. As Tyr was considered the patron god of the sword, it was deemed indispensable to engrave the sign or rune representing him upon the blade of every sword—an observance of which was said to be essential to those who were destined to be victorious.
Tyr was identical with the Saxon god Saxnot (from sax, a sword), and with Er, Heru, or Cheru, the chief divinity of the Cheruski one of the early Germanic tribes, who also considered him to be a god of the sun, and deemed his shining sword blade an emblem of its rays.
According to an ancient legend, Cheru’s sword, which had been fashioned by the same dwarfs, sons of Ivald, who had also made Odin’s spear, was held sacred by his people, to whose care he had entrusted it, declaring that those who possessed it were sure to have the victory over their foes. But although carefully guarded in the temple, where it was hung so that it reflected the first beams of the morning sun, it suddenly and mysteriously disappeared one night. A Vala, druidess, or prophetess, consulted by the priests, revealed that the Norns had decreed that whoever wielded it would conquer the world and come to his death by it; but in spite of all entreaties she refused to tell who had taken it or where it might be found. Some time after this, a tall and dignified stranger came to Cologne, where Vitellius, the Roman prefect, was feasting, and called him away from his beloved dainties. In the presence of the Roman soldiery he gave him the sword, telling him it would bring him glory and renown, and finally hailed him as emperor. The cry was taken up by the assembled legions, and Vitellius, without making any personal effort to secure the honour, found himself elected Emperor of Rome.
The new ruler, however, was so absorbed in indulging his taste for food and drink that he paid but little heed to the divine weapon. One day while leisurely making his way towards Rome he carelessly left it hanging in the antechamber to his pavilion. A German soldier seized this opportunity to substitute in its stead his own rusty blade, and the besotted emperor did not notice the exchange. When he arrived at Rome, he learned that the Eastern legions had named Vespasian emperor, and that he was even then on his way home to claim the throne.
Searching for the sacred weapon to defend his rights, Vitellius now discovered the theft, and, overcome by superstitious fears, did not even attempt to fight. He crawled away into a dark corner of his palace, whence he was ignominiously dragged by the enraged populace to the foot of the Capitoline Hill. There the prophecy was duly fulfilled, for the German soldier, who had joined the opposite faction, coming along at that moment, cut off Vitellius’ head with the sacred sword.
The German soldier now changed from one legion to another, and travelled over many lands; but wherever he and his sword were found, victory was assured. After winning great honour and distinction, this man, having grown old, retired from active service to the banks of the Danube, where he secretly buried his treasured weapon, building his hut over its resting-place to guard it as long as he might live. When he lay on his deathbed he was implored to reveal where he had hidden it, but he persistently refused to do so, saying that it would be found by the man who was destined to conquer the world, but that he would not be able to escape the curse. Years passed by. Wave after wave the tide of barbarian invasion swept over that part of the country, and last of all came the fiercesome Huns under the leadership of Attila, the “Scourge of God.” As he passed along the river, he saw a peasant mournfully examining his cow’s foot, which had been wounded by some sharp instrument hidden in the long grass, and when search was made the point of a buried sword was found sticking out of the soil.
Attila, seeing the beautiful workmanship and the fine state of preservation of this weapon, immediately exclaimed that it was Cheru’s sword, and brandishing it above his head he announced that he would conquer the world. Battle after battle was fought by all-conquering the Huns, who were everywhere victorious, until Attila, weary of warfare, settled down in Hungary, taking to wife the beautiful Burgundian princess Ildico, whose father he had slain. This princess, resenting the murder of her kin and wishing to avenge it, took advantage of the king’s state of intoxication upon his wedding night to secure possession of the divine sword, with which she slew him in his bed, once more fulfilling the prophecy uttered so many years before.
The magic sword again disappeared for a long time, to be unearthed once more, for the last time, by the Duke of Alva, Charles V.’s general, who shortly after won the victory of Mühlberg in 1547. The Franks were wont to celebrate yearly martial games in honour of the sword; but it is said that over 1200 years before, when the heathen gods of the Swabian’s, the Cheruski, the early Franks, the Danes and the Saxons, were slowly renounced in favour of Christianity, the priests transferred many of their attributes to the saints, and that this sword became the eternal property of the Archangel St. Michael, who has wielded it victoriously ever since.

I have discerned that when you have peaceful thoughts they show on your face. People have said to me how calm I look at times. Other people have said that I should smile more. Obviously at these different times my thoughts are at opposite ends of the relaxation spectrum.
This evening, when I passed a mirror I glanced at myself and I saw that peaceful face. I was thinking about something wonderful and it appeared on my face.
I know I am one of those strange people who have faith in what others deem impossible. When I think on these things that gives me a peaceful face.

Revealing Leaf Nodules: Symbiosis between Plant Psychotria Kirkii and Bacterium Candidatus Burkholderia Kirkii
Bacteria are constantly maintained in the shoot tip, bathed in protein and carbohydrate rich mucilage secreted from specialized secretory trichomes, where they in the shoot buds, when a drop of this bacteria-containing mucilage enters the substomatal cavity, infect every new developing leaf resulting in the leaf nodules (Miller et al., 1983a, 1984) (fig. 5). The nodule characteristics found in this study consist with previously reported ones. Bacteria have created and invaded intercellular spaces between the surrounding parenchyma cells that is why the nodule inner mass is surrounded by the sheath of flattened parenchyma cells, which are altered by the presence of the bacteria - they are also reduced in the size and thin-walled. The nodule’s inner structure mainly stretches lower epidermis resulting in a knob-like structure on the lower surface of the leaf and enlarged pores (sites where the leaves where infected through open stomata).
To improve this study it would be necessary to take images of nodule transverse sections, using both scanning and transmission electron microscopy. For further research it would be needed to identify all the substances, vesicles and transporters which participate in the host-endosymbiont communication, also the methods for endosymbiotic bacteria cultivation outside their host should be investigated. More sophisticated genomic analyzes also would be necessary. Recent study (Van Elst et al., 2013) found that Psychotria kirkii produces pavettamine – cardio-toxin, which causes gousiekte, which is a fatal poisoning of ruminants. The task is to understand the synthesis of pavettamine and if/how the endosymbiont participates within. Conclusion – there still is a lot to do to become closer to better understanding of the symbiosis, its evolution and significance in successful both symbiotic partners functioning.

FROM Leo Chavez
Mission Viejo Stands Up against Undocumented Workers After Lake Forest passed a "no trespassing law" aimed at illegal immigrants, undocumented workers moved next door to Mission Viejo. Last night, the upscale city of Mission Viejo went a step further. By a unanimous vote, the City Council gave final approval to a new ordinance, which requires city contractors to weed out unauthorized workers. Starting July 1, all new hires and new city employees will be screened on the Internet through the Basic Pilot Program run by the federal department of Homeland Security. Does the system work? Is Mission Viejo trespassing on federal law? Can local economies survive in Southern California without immigrant workers--legal or otherwise?
Is the threat from Russia missing from the Russia meddling probe? There's much being made about the Trump administration's possible ties with Russia. But the bottom line is Russia's effort to influence American democracy. Do the President and his aides care enough to take action before voters go back to the polls?
Who's to blame for the opioid crisis? Some of the lawyers who took on Big Tobacco are now going after Big Pharma. It’s all about the deadly epidemic of opioid use. Are the drug companies to blame? What about the users? Later, on today’s Talking Point: making sense of Britain’s upset election.
Trump plays scolder-in-chief with NATO allies At the opening of NATO’s dramatic new headquarters in Brussels today, President Trump acknowledged that Article 5 — promising that “an attack on one nation is an attack on all” -- has only been invoked one time: in the aftermath of September 11. But the President failed to provide what 27 other Alliance members have been waiting for: a re-commitment by America’s new leader to Article 5. Instead, they got a scolding.

I’ve been an Ishiguro fan since falling in love with his first novel, A Pale View of Hills. I have loved all the novels I’ve read by him but I am not a completist. I have avoided Never Let Me Go, because I know what it’s about and I don’t feel strong enough. I have also not read The Buried Giant because I’m a little allergic to anything Game of Thrones-ish or Tolkienian but I think I may try that now, after having heard Ishiguro talking about it.
Both my daughters had read Klara and the Sun and loved it, so in order to be able to discuss it with them and because it was short and because everyone was saying it was a masterpiece, I overcame my normal aversion to anything AI related and downloaded it to my Kindle.
Aversion to AI? Yes, I’m afraid so…I’m not keen on robots and not particularly interested in them. If anything, I think I’m slightly afraid of them. I admire the achievement that lies behind them. I am in awe of the science and as long as the robots are enlisted to help medical procedures, or build cars I feel safe. But once they can be substituted for humans, I’m a little more wary.
I needn’t have worried. Before I reached the end of the first page, I was bewitched. Completely happy to spend the rest of the story in the head/mind/body of Klara and by the end I was as bereft at parting from her as if she’d been fully human. The main achievement of this novel, I think, is to make the reader accept Klara totally. There’s never a moment when you forget she’s artificial (because she’s been programmed to learn from humans and part of what she’s learned is to have what must be called ‘feelings’ even though we know she is incapable of feelings on one level) but also never a moment when you don’t fully sympathise with her and when you aren’t rooting for her and longing with her for certain outcomes.
I never give spoilers when I write reviews but I can tell you that `Klara is chosen to be a companion for a sick teenager called Josie. She goes to live with the family and also meets the family who live next door and a housekeeper called Melania Housekeeper. Josie’s parents are doing all they can to keep their daughter alive. We suspect she’s ill because she’s been ‘uplifted’…. that’s to say, genetically modified in some way. The boy next door, Rick, has not been ‘uplifted’. The plot is spare but constantly gripping and I’m not going to say any more about it.
What I found most startling and striking is the way Ishiguro manages to make an entire fictional universe from so little. Just from Klara’s very limited perspective, a whole physical world is conjured up, in which the Sun is hugely important. Klara is solar powered so of course she regards the Sun as a kind of deity, but I very quickly became a believer too. It’s very hard not to.
The physical landscape is shown to us through Klara’s eyes, and I found it extraordinarily vivid. No one else I’ve read has mentioned this, but I often felt as though I were in an Edward Hopper painting. There’s one particular scene in a diner in the city which reminded me powerfully of Nighthawks. The field between the house and the Barn appeared in my head like one of those Hopper paintings where the grass grows right up to the front door. Ishiguro describes things in the most unflashy way possible. Klara is telling us what she sees, in a straight and matter of fact manner. That’s it. Also, what becomes striking as we progress through the story is the power of the emotions (that’s the only way I can describe them) that Klara is both seeing around her and experiencing for herself.
Can robots have feelings? I’ve heard Ishiguro say that Klara is designed to copy humans and so copying how they feel and how they express that emotion is part of the programming. It’s so skilfully done that by the end, I was unreservedly invested in Klara and the end…well, I won’t spoil it for new readers. What I will say is: it’s still with me. I can’t forget it. And I have a whole new attitude to the Sun.
The other critics were right. I’ll join the chorus. It’s a masterpiece.

Changes to the way increases in public-sector pensions are calculated could wipe as much as 15% off their value, unions and analysts have warned.
The use of CPI inflation to measure price increases influencing pension upgrades instead of the often higher-rising RPI measure is expected to mean a pensioner drawing £10,000 a year will see nearly £47,000 shaved off their pension pot, according to some calculations.
The "hefty blow" comes as workers and pensioners have faced challenges posed by high living costs while their savings have failed to make real returns due to record low interest rates.
Ros Altmann, director-general of over-50s group Saga, said: "This will mean lower pensions all round, there's no doubt about that. The change from RPI to CPI is not about having a better measure of inflation, it's about cutting costs."
Dr Altmann said the changes would make pension costs more sustainable and more affordable in future. But speaking about what this meant for workers, she said: "To get the same level of pension you will have to save more. That will be one of the consequences of this."
RPI inflation is often higher than CPI because of the formula used to calculate it, with RPI inflation including some housing costs.
Laith Khalaf, pension investment manager at Hargreaves Lansdown, said that according to some estimates, the change to CPI was the equivalent of a 15% average cut in the value of a pension. He said: "It's a fairly hefty blow that's been dealt."
Brian Strutton, GMB national secretary for public services, said: "When the Government announced out of the blue in 2010 that it was downgrading the annual uprating of public sector pensions from RPI to CPI, the GMB and other unions challenged the legality in the courts.
"How could it be right that pensions already being paid could be reduced by around 15% in value just at the whim of the Government?
"Unfortunately, the courts seem to take the view that the Government can do what it likes even if this amounts to taking money off pensioners just because they used to work in the public sector. It's not right and together with the other unions we will be considering the grounds for appeal."
