HAS it been a decade? Art Basel Miami Beach marks its 10th edition this week, no longer the new kid on the collector circuit, but a mandatory stop for any self-respecting art player. In some very social circles, it even overshadows the original in Switzerland, as far as the partying, the opulent dinners and the unbridled hobnobbing are concerned.
To help navigate the social maze, which takes place Dec. 1 to 4, here are 10 places to party, shop, dine, view art and party more.
1. Early Birds
There’s the official calendar, and then there’s the party calendar. The fair opens to the public Dec. 1, but professional partiers know to get there two days earlier, for some of the week’s best soirees.
The Soho Beach House is the site of several parties, including one for the White Cube gallery in London. There are also dinners at the Standard Hotel (for Paul Kasmin Gallery) and elsewhere in Miami Beach.
But the toughest invitation to score that night is not at a hotel, but at a garage. Interview magazine is hosting a party there with Peter Brant and Tobias Meyer of Sotheby’s at an architectural parking lot designed by Herzog & de Meuron to honor Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo. The new Ferrari 458 Spider will be unveiled along with some art: a new video work by Marco Brambilla inspired by Formula One racing.
1111 Lincoln Road. Nov. 29 from 8:30 p.m. Invitation only.
2. Occupy Art Basel
Collins Park, the overlooked green space sandwiched between the W South Beach and the Setai, is being taken over by public art viewers. For the fair’s 10th anniversary, Art Basel and the Bass Museum of Art have turned the park into an A-list gallery.
The 24 works include pieces by Damien Hirst, Anish Kapoor and Robert Indiana. Collective performances are being staged as well. Glenn Kaino, a Los Angeles artist, is recruiting hundreds of volunteers to lift a 20-foot-by-20-foot sculptural platform for the duration of the art show, for a piece entitled “Levitating the Fair.”
Collins Park, Collins Avenue between 21st and 22nd Streets, bassmuseum.org. Dec. 1 to 4. Free.
3. Pop Shop
Wherever the moneyed crowd goes, fashion follows. In years past, a profusion of pop-up stores were spotted, including Hello Kitty and United Nude. This year will be no different, with many clustered in the Miami Design District.
Pringle of Scotland has collaborated with the British artist Liam Gillick on abstract-patterned knitwear (Mosaic Building, 161 NE 40th Street). And Maison Martin Margiela is showcasing Line 13, a collection of clever objects (Melin Building, 3930 NE Second Avenue, Suite 101).
Miami Design District, miamidesigndistrict.net.
The New World Center, the Frank Gehry-designed home of the New World Symphony, was applauded for its acoustics when it opened earlier this year. But during Art Basel, it is what’s on the outside that counts.
Each night, art films selected by David Gryn, director of London’s Artprojx, will be screened on the building’s 7,000-square-foot outdoor projection wall. Plop down in SoundScape Park for front-row seats to video works by Tracey Emin, Slater Bradley, Ryan McGinley, Marilyn Minter and others.
SoundScape Park, Washington Avenue and 17th Street, artbaselmiamibeach.com. Dec. 1 to 4; screenings at 8 and 9 p.m. Free.
5. Beach Vampires
It’s as if the art world discovered the “beach” in Miami Beach. Several shindigs this year are taking place along the sand, but luckily after dark, so there’s no need to pack the sunscreen.
Jeffrey Deitch and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles are holding a “beach” party on Nov. 30 at the Raleigh Hotel’s famous Art Deco pool. The Belgian electro duo 2 Many DJS promises to keep things going late.
On the same night, at the Soho Beach House, Louis Vuitton is sponsoring a “beachside” barbecue for Artsy, a site that lets art lovers find new artists, much like what Pandora does for music. Carter Cleveland, the site’s founder, will be joined by Dasha Zhukova and Wendi Murdoch.
Both parties are invitation-only.
6. Checking In
The South Beach scene revolves around its hotels, the shinier the better. Last December, art crowds flocked to the Soho Beach House, the latest outpost of the British members-only club.
Blame the sluggish economy, but some this year will have to settle for renovations. Make that singular: renovation. Work at the Raleigh and the Delano, both showing some age, is still under way. That leaves just the Shelborne South Beach, a 1940s Deco gem, which is using the art fair to unveil a $20-million white-on-white renovation, with back-to-back parties and exhibitions in its lobby, and three new restaurants.
Shelborne South Beach, 1801 Collins Avenue, shelborne.com.
7. Hot Seats
Restaurants matter, too, but only insofar as reservations that are hard to get. One of the most coveted tables is at The Dutch, an outpost of the SoHo restaurant run by the chef Andrew Carmellini. The 170-seat restaurant, at the W South Beach (2201 Collins Avenue, thedutchmiami.com), is already booked for Aby Rosen’s annual A-list dinner on Dec. 1.
Cecconi’s, which opened last year at Soho Beach House, is still in demand, with private dinners for Swarovski, Phillips de Pury and David Zwirner (4385 Collins Avenue, cecconismiamibeach.com). If you can get a seat, it’s also a good perch for spying the spillover from the hotel’s penthouse and Tiki Bar.
8. Paris Invasion
Twice the André Saraiva, twice the late-night fun. Le Baron, Mr. Saraiva’s pop-up club that globe-trots to Cannes and various fashion weeks, returns to the Florida Room under the Delano hotel. Early rumors had the Florida Room closed for renovations, but leave it to Mr. Saraiva to keep the party going with the Ronsons, Roitfelds and other varieties of the svelte, famous and disaffected. (Le Baron at the Delano Hotel, 1685 Collins Avenue; Nov. 29 to Dec. 4, from 11 p.m. to late, guest-list only.)
Still awake? Mr. Saraiva is giving a second party this year, resurrecting his defunct Parisian club, Paris Paris, under the Shelborne hotel. Each night (or morning — the lounge closes at 6 a.m.) will feature cabaret performances and, gulp, karaoke. (Paris Paris at the Shelborne South Beach, 1801 Collins Avenue, Nov. 30 to Dec. 4, from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.)
9. Taking a Detour
Time was, all gay roads led to Twist, the multistory disco near the end of South Beach. They still do, but now there’s a detour. Lords South Beach, a newish gay-friendly hotel a few blocks away, returns this year as a gay hub with a string of drag performances and glittery parties.
Amanda Lepore kicks things off with a raunchy penthouse party. Josh Woods and Boffo hold a poolside all-nighter, with music by Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters. Cool down between sets at the Coolhaus ice cream truck parked outside.
Lords South Beach, 1120 Collins Avenue; lordssouthbeach.com.
10. Weekend Warriors
The private jets at Opa-locka Airport thin out by Friday, but younger patrons fly down for the weekend and keep the festivities going.
MoMA P.S. 1 is among those moving its party to Saturday, with sunset cocktails honoring Ryan Trecartin and Lizzie Fitch at the Mondrian Hotel, co-hosted with MoMA’s young patrons. The Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami and SPiN Galatic host a table tennis tournament at the Standard. And Daphne Guinness celebrates her new MAC cosmetics collaboration at the Soho Beach House.
So Art Basel is not only starting earlier, it’s ending later, too.

On a visit to the United States in 2013, HRH The Duke of Sussex attended the Warrior Games – a series of competitive events for American wounded returned servicemen and women to participate in. Below the surface of being a competition and a celebration of participants for their service and accomplishments, what was most notable was how the Warrior Games provided a platform for the wounded, injured and ill to incorporate sport into their healing and recovery process.
Bringing the idea back home to the United Kingdom, The Duke founded The Invictus Games in 2014. ‘Invictus’ is a Latin word meaning ‘unconquered’ – a truly apt description of the wounded, injured and ill that return from national service.
The inaugural Invictus Games were held at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London, and more than 400 competitors from 13 nations took part.
Now in its fourth year, the Invictus Games head down under to Sydney, where more than 500 competitors from 18 nations will compete and celebrate their collective achievements. They are all unconquered. They are all Invictus.
“Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.”
William Ernest Henley
United States of America


text: A good friend of mine called on Saturday and gave me the number to her dad who in turn invited us out to his property so we could pick corn, apples, and pears. I ended up with a ton of corn and apples and about half a basket of pears. I canned 6 pints of pears, 3 quarts of applesauce, then dehydrated apples and pears. Last I blanched the corn and cut if off the cob to put in the freezer, I think I ended up with seven bags of corn, each bag I'm figuring with be the equivalent of 8 cans of corn from the store. Tomorrow I plan on making my famous apple cake! Yummy, it was such a blessing to have been given all that produce, apple season is upon us so we have many more bushels of apples to pick and can in our future.

The Hallyu Wave breaks over the Zenith – 2011.06.09Source:FOREVER_SHINee
v The only picture in the article
Image Credit: YOUNG HO/SIPA/SIPA Reup'd by FOREVER_SHINee
SHINee, one of the boys group that will perform Thursday and Friday *mistake, should be Friday and Saturday* at the Zénith, is sold out. The tickets were sold out in less than 15 minutes!
Phenomenon in Seoul, these “boys” and “girls bands” are creating waves among French teens. They will sing for the first time in Paris.
After having conquered Asia, the Kpop wave targets Europe. And Paris is the head start for the new Korean pop star singers. Thursday and Friday night *made a mistake, should be Friday and Saturday*, the most popular “boys” and “girls groups” of South Korea will take over the stage at the Zénith for two concerts on the Old World. Success is guaranteed since the tickets were sold out in less than 15 minutes! As far as to create a manifestation out of the norm in front of the Louvre Pyramid, last 2 May: hundreds of fans had waved their banners to call for another concert date in front of stunned tourists. A mobilization which made the front cover of the Korean newspaper and which convinced the organizer, the almighty agency SM Entertainment, to add a new date.
“The girls are so excited to perform in Paris! It is a romantic city by far”, gushed Eun-a Km, the representative of the agency of the most powerful show-business in Asia. These girls, are the Girls Generation, the highlight of the show at the Zénith, the group that dominates the chart in all the Far East: nine dolls barely 20 years old with infinite long legs and in mini-mini skirts whose precise hip swaying had already had Japan, China and Thailand on their knees.
The security service at Roissy has already provided an impressive mechanism to counteract uncontrollable fans in the arrival hallway.
On stage, the girls will be accompanied by SHINee, TVXQ! And Super Junior, three boys groups with androgynous look which have been creating havoc among the French teens. Scouted sometimes as from primary school, these baby stars follow a Spartan training and can do everything: sing, dance on complex rhythms as well as participate in dramas or tv commercials, one of the main source of revenue of the Korean show-biz.
“The enthusiasm in Europe surprises us”
Since five years, Hallyu, the “Korean Wave”, take everything in its path in Asia as far as to eclipse the Japanese Pop thanks to an implacable mix: sounds and choreography borrowed from the West and adapted to the taste of the Asian audience to offer a show of flawless execution. A global product that has seduced since two years more and more young French, who have discovered the K-pop generally through the manga culture before leaping from Japan to Korea.
“It is a mix of familiar sounds, with an exotic touch that makes the difference”, explains Maxime Pacquet, a fan of 31 years old. This IT technician is the president of the Korean Connection Association which estimate to 100, 000 number of fans in France. A trend that spreads through YouTube and the online social networking websites such as Facebook where there are communities of fans who exchange the latest videos and organized K-pop dance classes. “The enthusiasm in Europe surprises us. But Asia remains our priority”, says Eun-a-Kim. And eventually: in September, Girls Generation will be in Tokyo for a concert in front of 100, 000 persons! Europe will have to be very patient before seeing their idols in miniskirts again.

Titles in The Secret Billionaire Society include — Chase – Nash – Finn – Beau –
Series: The Secret Billionaire Society #1
Author: Nancy Pennick
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Published: May 1, 2019
My Rating: 3.5 stars
CHASE is the beginning of The Secret Billionaire Society series which has a concept for the series that intrigued me. Nancy Pennick is a new-to-me author, so I have no previous experience with her writing style to compare this story against. CHASE is a good basic story with touches of mystery, romance, intrigue and a very close bond between six men who went to college together, became billionaires young in life, and on a whim during their annual combined birthday(s) party make a huge bet that could backfire on them so very easily.
I’m torn on this story for there is a lot that I enjoyed, and some parts that I, frankly, didn’t. Not unusual, really, yet I never felt a connection with the main characters – I was simply along for the ride on this one, not part of the story waiting to see what happens next. I don’t willingly do spoilers, so to explain further would fall into that “no, not gonna do that” zone of mine.
I’m going to hold off on committing myself to this series overall. I know that FINN really caught my eye, yet I prefer to start at the beginning of a set of connecting stories with common characters across all books – some call that a series, yet this author says each title can be standalone. So, I’ll continue through FINN and see how the stories develop, and if my reactions to the main characters change as the series continues. I don’t easily give up on a series so up next is NASH. As I mentioned, CHASE is a good story, I’m simply not certain if this author’s style is one I’m going to enjoy long-term. Time will tell.
I read this title through my Kindle Unlimited subscription

Never before has the ECB raised interest rates as much as it is today. It is questionable whether the monetary watchdogs will be able to curb record inflation quickly. Consumers will still feel the consequences clearly.
It is a historic decision: the European Central Bank (ECB) has increased the key interest rate for the euro area by 0.75 percentage points. There has never been such a “jumbo step” since the introduction of euro cash in 2002. “We had different views around the table, a thorough discussion, but the result of our discussions was a unanimous decision,” President Christine Lagarde said at the press conference in Frankfurt today.
The second tightening of monetary policy within a few weeks had been expected. As early as July, the monetary watchdogs had raised interest rates for the first time since 2011, thereby turning away from their long-standing zero interest rate policy. How are the prices going now? And what changes does this bring to everyday life?
Lending rates are likely to rise further
“The interest rate hike will be felt in a relatively short time for consumers who want to take out a loan to buy a house, for example,” says Emanuel Mönch, professor of monetary policy and financial markets at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, in an interview with CityRyde.com. Because the lending rates for real estate and companies, in particular, would move relatively quickly with the key interest rates.
Above all, the so-called main refinancing facility and the top lending rate play a role in which commercial banks can get fresh money from the ECB. According to today’s decision in the eurozone, the main refinancing rate, which applies to maturities of one week or more, is 1.25 percent and thus higher than it has been for more than ten years. As a result, the costs for financial institutions to raise money are climbing. The result: loans for households and companies are also becoming more expensive. As a rule, the banks pass on the increased costs directly to consumers and companies in the form of higher interest rates.
The real estate industry expects soon with more expensive financing for buyers due to the sharp increase in key interest rates. “As a result, interest rates for real estate loans will probably continue to rise, and the pressure on the residential real estate market will increase again,” said Oliver Wittke, general manager of the Central Real Estate Committee (ZIA). After the ECB decision, the credit broker Interhyp is also assuming “further slight increases in construction interest rates” in the coming months, according to Mirjam Mohr, a board member for private customer business. “By the end of the year, we expect interest rates to be around 3.5 percent on ten-year loans.” Interest rates have already climbed from 2.7 percent in August to around 3.2 percent at the moment.
Only a pseudo effect for savers
“The higher interest rates are only one side of the coin,” explains Christina Bannier, Professor of Banking & Finance at the Justus Liebig University in Giessen. On the other hand, the question arises as to whether interested parties can still get a loan at all. “When a bank receives an inquiry, it examines the potential borrower very thoroughly and thinks about whether they can afford the more expensive interest and principal payments in the future,” the expert told CityRyde. There is also the risk of a recession, which can mean job losses and a drop in income. Lending could therefore become much stricter – especially for long-term real estate loans.
The third key interest rate, which was also increased by 0.75 percentage points to 0.75 percent in the future, is the so-called deposit facility. This is the rate at which banks overnight deposits with the ECB earn interest. After years of penalty interest, they can earn money again in the future if they park excess liquidity at the central bank. This is also good news for savers because financial institutions have passed on the negative interest rate to their customers in the form of a custody fee in recent years. As a result, many had to pay interest to their bank on their checking account balances and, in return, received almost nothing in return for their savings accounts. This is now over – if not immediately.
The banks reacted “always with a bit of a wait until they pass on the rising interest rates to their customers,” says Bannier. Nevertheless, it will “definitely come.” In the future, savers can expect rising interest rates for the money market or time deposit accounts. The economist warns, however, that one should not be fooled by this: “The effect is only apparent for the time being since we are currently experiencing incredibly high inflation. It is currently completely eating away at the additional purchasing power from the money saved.” For a really noticeable effect, the interest on the savings accounts would have to rise much more, or inflation would have to fall more sharply.
Differences between theory and practice
The ECB is now aiming for the latter with its unprecedented move. Mainly because of the expensive energy as a result of the Ukraine war, inflation in the eurozone has now reached a record level of 9.1 percent. The inflation is more than four times as high as the stability target of two percent per year. Economic theory says that higher interest rates make it more expensive for companies to invest. They also weaken private consumption through more expensive loans. Consumers will be tempted to save more money instead of spending it. Companies, on the other hand, are left with their goods.
The desired result: falling prices. But how realistic is that? “I believe that this rate hike was absolutely necessary. At the same time, however, I believe that it will not be enough to curb inflation significantly,” says expert Mönch. A large part of the inflation is due to supply chain bottlenecks and higher energy prices. “These are developments that the central bank’s interest rate policy cannot really influence.” Nevertheless, the increase in interest rates is contributing to a weakening of the economy, which is curbing demand and ultimately also alleviating the high prices a little.
Economist Bannier sees it similarly and points to a lack of experience with the current situation: “So far, the central bank has tried to influence demand-side problems. However, the current difficulties in Europe are on the supply side and are also very complex: the Ukraine war, the Energy crisis, food problems, aftermath of the Corona crisis, and an extremely high national debt.” It is, therefore, difficult to predict how the higher interest rates will actually affect him.
The ECB has announced that it will raise interest rates to a level that will allow inflation to return to target soon. The central bank raised its inflation forecasts for the current year to 8.1 percent in view of the ongoing surge in prices for energy, food, and other goods. In 2023, however, inflation is expected to be only 5.5 percent.
Expert Mönch disagrees: “I believe that inflation will initially increase. My assumption is that energy prices will not fall in the short term, but rather continue to rise.” In addition, the unions have high demands in collective bargaining, so rising wages could further fuel inflation. “In the short term, I don’t see any developments that could lead to sharp declines. The dampening of demand through higher interest rates will make a contribution – but more slowly than faster.”
“Right now, it’s extremely difficult to give a forecast,” says Bannier. There is also another negative consequence: “Higher interest rates also mean more expensive loans for the state. Refinancing will become more difficult.” In combination with a weakening economy, this means “sooner or later tax increases in order to be able to handle the national debt.” Another cost that consumers in the euro area will have to adjust to in the future – in addition to higher interest rates.

The second leg of the MTN marathon series took riders to the little town of Sabie in Mpumulanga. The Sabie Classic persistently attracts a strong local and international field as it is an established and UCI sanctioned event, meaning there are valuable UCI points up for grabs. For South African riders it also served as a qualifying event for the 2014 Marathon World Championships held in Pietermaritzburg later this year. Needless to say we were in for a tough race as riders were battling for UCI points, World Champ spots, MTN series points and the coveted victory in a prestigious event.
The Elite Men competed in the 113km Ultra Marathon distance while the Elite Ladies raced the 75km Marathon distance. From the start the route tilts upwards until reaching the summit of “Mamba Switchbacks” about 35km into the race at a staggering height of 1975m. From those dizzy heights one can only descend, but the plunge was very rocky and rutted making it quite treacherous. No wonder it’s called the “Rocky Horror” downhill. The final 20km stretch was on strength sapping, rolling terrain taking us to the finish at the York Timber Sports Grounds. Measured by my new Garmin Edge 810, the route contained a total ascent of 1990m over a distance of 75km (you can look at my training file here http://connect.garmin.com/activity/449707330#).
Two days prior to the start of the event rain descended on Sabie continuing throughout the race which made for horrendous race conditions on the day. Staying on your bike and avoiding mechanical problems would be the key to a good result on the day.
I was pleasantly surprised by the number of ladies that lined up to start the 75km marathon event. It was by far the biggest ladies field I have ever competed against locally and judging by the weather conditions, this was one tough group of ladies. The first and only ‘long’ climb on the route soon turned into a race of attrition with Ariane Kleinhans (Team RECM) setting the pace up front. She was also the first to reach the summit and was shortly followed by Robyn de Groot (Biogen Toyota) and myself. At that point I was very happy with my climbing legs, despite being rather surprised with my form given my recent bout of illness.
In the muddy conditions the downhill section that followed wasn’t only a “Rocky Horror” but also proved to be an elimination race of sorts. A lot of riders, including myself, fell on the slippery descent which saw a radical change in the race positions out on course.
Cherise Stander (Team RECM) showed some excellent skill making contact with me and riding herself into 2nd place on the descent. Unfortunately she suffered a setback when she slit the sidewall of her tyre a few kilometres from the finish, relegating her to a 4th place finish by the end. Cross Country specialists Amy MacDougall and Candice Neethling were more adept to the slippery conditions and took advantage moving themselves into 3rd and 5th spot respectively. After my crash I was a little more careful in the slippery conditions, finally settling for 6th place on the day.
Ariane Kleinhans turned her ill luck at the first round of the MTN series into a very well deserved victory at the Sabie Classic with Robyn de Groot and Amy MacDougall rounding out the podium in 2nd and 3rd place respectively.
In hindsight it was a good course and I am sure if it wasn’t for the rain everyone would have had quite a different experience. At least it made for some good war stories under the Valencia tent at the finishing venue.
1st Ariane Kleinhans (Team RECM)
2nd Robyn De Groot (Biogen Toyota)
3rd Amy MacDougal (Valencia Cycles)
4th Cherise Taylor (Team RECM)
5th Candice Neethling (Team Velolife)
6th Yolandi du Toit ( ? )

How to Help Your Child Develop Healthy Eating Habits
A solid foundation in balanced nutritional habits can offer many rewards to kids as they grow and develop. Good nutrition at a young age can help them know how to nourish their body throughout their life and diminish the chance of chronic health conditions in the future. In addition, this could also boost their energy level at school, enhance their ability to take part in extracurricular programs, and improve their quality of sleep. GI Alliance understands that healthy dietary habits can markedly impact kids throughout their life. Since September is recognized as National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, we have provided suggestions to help parents and caregivers gain valuable information concerning nutrition for kids, healthy foods for kids, and lunchbox suggestions for school-aged children. We welcome you to read the tips below and schedule a visit at a GI Alliance location near you if you have any questions or concerns.
Ways to establish healthy nutritional habits for kids
There are several approaches to help encourage balanced eating habits for healthy kids. These include:
- Involve your kids in the cooking and food preparation process. You will have the opportunity to teach your kid about selecting nutritious foods and dietary labels when preparing and choosing food. This situation can enable children to have fun learning about nutritious eating while also enjoying time spent as a family. In addition, this can help minimize the chance of picky eating since your child has an opportunity to understand more about the foods you choose.
- Sit down to eat meals as a family on a consistent basis. Throughout the meal, keep the conversation positive so your little one does not negatively associate food with stress. Eating associated with stress may result in additional concerns later on.
- Avoid utilizing food as a punishment or reward. If you put your child to sleep and without dinner as punishment or utilize sugary foods as a reward for proper behavior, it could impact your child's relationship with food down the road.
- Follow portion suggestions on food packaging and check the list of ingredients. Talking with your child about nutrition labels and ideal portions can help them to understand how the ingredients can impact their health.
- Control snacking times and food choices. Snacks are an essential component of a healthy diet. It is a good idea to plan out set times for snacking and the kinds of food your child consumes. Additionally, discourage your child from eating in front of the TV, as doing so could lead to overeating.
What healthy foods for children should you select?
Our pediatric gastrointestinal specialists recommend a nutritious food plan of vegetables, fruits, dairy, protein, and grains. If feasible, it is advisable to regulate sugar and trans fat when consuming meals and snacks. By sticking to a diet that centers on these quality food items, you can help your children have more energy and experience better overall health. If you are the type of parent who likes to plan, check out some of our favorite lunchbox tips for school-aged children below.
How can I locate more resources about healthy foods for kids?
Besides the information detailed here, our staff members wish to provide a helpful collection of tips for parents and caregivers, which can help them find the latest details concerning children’s nutrition. A selection of the sites we suggest are as follows:
At GI Alliance, our team members are focused on helping kids develop healthy habits early on. Our pediatric GI specialists commonly team up with parents to help establish a proper nutritional foundation for their little ones. Reach out to a GI Alliance digestive specialist near you to find out more about the advantages of nutritious foods or selecting proper meals and snacks for your kids.

Surging house prices and the cost-of-living squeeze are forcing buyers to borrow more to secure a home while their purchasing power has been depleted.
he average first-time buyer mortgage was €263,000 in June, according to figures from the Banking and Payments Federation.
This is up by €30,000 compared with what a typical first-time buyer was borrowing a year ago.
And it is the highest level since the data series began in 2003, the banks said.
The previous record was €251,831 at the start of 2008.
In separate figures it has emerged that house hunters have €27,000 less spending power than a year ago.
The typical mortgage seeker now has €11,000 less savings to put towards a deposit than mortgage seekers in the same position a year ago, according to Daftmortgages.ie. They plan to make up the difference by borrowing more, the broker found.
Reduced spending power for these house hunters may be a result of spending bouncing back as the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions lifted
New buyers have reduced spending power due to their savings being lower as a result of expenditure bouncing back after Covid-19 pandemic restrictions were lifted, and due to the rising cost of living.
This is in the context of asking property prices increasing by €30,000 in the three months to June compared with the same quarter last year.
Daftmortgages.ie said the running down of savings and the household costs squeeze means house hunters now have €27,000 less to spend on a home than a year ago, or a reduction of 9pc.
Mortgage seekers have an average of €11,000 less in savings to put towards a deposit than a year ago.
Larger borrowings will be required to make up the shortfall. This will result in a €59 increase in their monthly mortgage repayments making their repayments go from €872 to €931 per month.
Over a year, first-time buyer couples will end up spending an extra €708 on their mortgage repayments per year than a typical new buyer last year.
General manager at Daftmortgages.ie Paul Monahan said: “It could be argued that the 15pc reduced saving and therefore 9pc reduced spending power for these house hunters may be a result of spending bouncing back as the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions lifted or could also be due to these customers feeling the pinch due to rising cost of living.”
Meanwhile, the number of first-time buyers approved for a mortgage in June was down slightly to 2,675.
This is compared with 2,755 in the same month last year, according to Banking and Payments Federation figures.
However, there continues to be a strong rise in the numbers of mortgage holders switching provider.
Last month saw a 153pc rise in the number of switchers to 1,789, the banks said.
In the April to June period just under 6,000 new buyers drew down a mortgage.
This is up by 1,099 compared with the same period last year, a rise of 22.5pc.
A total of 11,985 new mortgages to the value of €3.13bn were drawn down by borrowers during the second quarter of this year.
This represents an increase of 24.5pc in volume and 40.6pc in value on the corresponding second quarter of last year.
First-time buyers remained the single largest segment accounting for half of the market. Boosted by increased switching activity, the number of mortgage approvals in the twelve months ending June 2022 reached 55,467.
This is the highest level recorded since the Banking Federation data series began in 2011.
The banks revealed that a total of 5,960 mortgages were approved in June this year.
They said 2,675 were for first-time buyers.
Meanwhile, mover purchasers accounted for 1,185 home loans.
Mortgages approved in June were valued at €1.66bn – of which first-time buyers accounted for €737m and €401m by mover purchasers, the lenders revealed.
Meanwhile, a analysis of the Property Price Register shows that home sales prices rose by 14pc in the second quarter of this year compared to the same period last year.
The median price for a home in Ireland is €285,000.
This is up €35,000 when compared with the same period last year, according to Valuemyhome.
Since the first three months of last year, the Irish housing market has charted six consecutive quarters of price inflation.
The length of this price surge now matches that of 2006 to 2007, the very peak of the ‘Celtic Tiger’ boom years.

US boatbuilder also has plans for future plant expansion
Florida-based fibreglass boat builder Chris-Craft Boats is celebrating its 145th anniversary this week with the introduction of two new models and the announcement of plans to expand its Sarasota production facility.
The company kicked off its 2020 model year Summer Showcase event on Saturday with the global debut of an outboard-powered variant of its popular Launch 25 GT model, along with an all-new Launch 28 GT Surf Edition, the first model in the Chris-Craft lineup designed with wakesurfing in mind.
In all, Chris-Craft presented 14 different models on display in the water at the Hyatt Regency hotel marina and indoors in an air-conditioned showroom.
“The Launch GT line has really been doing well for us,” says Chris-Craft director of marketing, Allison Scharnow. “It’s a new, fresh design that has really found a lot of appeal with both international and domestic buyers.”
Having both the new outboard-powered and the continuing sterndrive-powered versions available for sea trials allowed dealers to better appreciate the differences between the two variants. The outboard-powered boat retains the large raised aft sunpad that covers the engine compartment of the sterndrive version, utilising the engine space as a roomy lazarette.
Powered by a Volvo Penta 6.2L V8 generating 380hp, the new-for-2020 Launch 28 GT Surf Edition – complete with a folding sport arch with board racks and rear-facing speakers, a bow thruster and woven Seagrass flooring – was particularly well received by domestic North American dealers. “We had a lot of fun with the Surf Edition,” says Scharnow. “It’s a boat that should have a lot of appeal with multi-generational families, and we took great pains to ensure that it would be able to speak across generations.”
With the company’s 200,000sq ft manufacturing plant running at capacity on the strength of strong domestic sales, Chris-Craft announced plans to expand its Sarasota plant with a new addition that will increase its production space by about one-third.
“We’re still finalising the design but the target is to have shovels in the ground by the end of the year,” says Scharnow. “This expansion has been in the works for some time, and we’ve been busy working out the details and obtaining the requisite permits and approvals. One thing we’re very conscious of is ensuring that we future-proof the design, so it is able to suit our needs for many years to come. We’re excited to finally get to this point, because we will need this additional capacity in order to meet the targets in our long-term growth strategy.”

This little pie is the turducken of fruit — juicy chunks of pear stuffed inside an apple. Not only does this make for a super-fun presentation, but it also reduces the saturated fat and refined carbs by replacing the majority of the crust with whole fruit.
I promise, you still get all of the apple pie flavor you love, and the best part is you can hold the whole thing in the palm of your hand. I really can’t tell the difference between biting into this and a slice of Grandma’s apple pie. It’s just another example of how even small changes can make for a healthier option.
Serving Size: 1 mini pie
- Calories: 222
- Fiber: 4g
- Total Fat: 5g
- Protein: 1g
- Total Carbohydrate: 45g
- 1½ tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 6 fluid ounces apple juice concentrate, thawed (from a 12 fluid ounce can), divided
- 1½ cups diced, peeled green apple
- 1½ cups diced, peeled pear
- 7 whole green apples
- 1 ready-made pie crust
How To Make It
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch, cinnamon, and ¼ cup of the apple juice concentrate. Set aside.
- To a large saucepan add the diced apples, pears, and remaining apple juice concentrate. Simmer over medium heat until apples and pears are tender.
- Add in the cornstarch/cinnamon mixture. Simmer until thickened, then remove pan from heat and set aside.
- Cut off the tops of the whole apples and discard. Using a spoon or a melon baller, hollow out the inside of each apple, making sure not to cut through the peel.
- Divide the apple/pear mixture evenly between hollowed-out apples (each apple will hold about ⅓- to ½-cup of filling, depending on the size of the apple).
- Roll out the pie crust and slice into small strips. Weave several strips (about 20 grams worth) into a lattice pattern. Place one lattice on the top of each apple.
- In a small baking dish add ¼ inch of water. Add the apples to the dish and cover with foil.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until the whole apples are tender and the crust is golden.

Chime aims to strike a chord with IPO, say sources
Digital banking provider Chime Financial has asked Goldman Sachs Group to help it with preparations for an initial public offering (IPO) in New York, say people familiar with the matter.
The financial technology start-up is likely to be valued at a substantial premium to its valuation of $25bn from an August funding round led by Sequoia Capital, the sources said, adding Chime could aim for a valuation of nearly $40bn.
A spokesperson for Chime denied that Goldman Sachs was advising the company. Goldman Sachs declined to comment.
In a statement earlier on Friday, the spokesperson said: “While Chime intends to be a publicly listed company some day, we have not made any decisions on underwriters and have no immediate plans for an IPO.”
Having been valued at $1.5bn three years ago, its blockbuster listing would underscore how Chime has managed to take market share from traditional banks thanks to cheque accounts that offer payday advances and no overdraft fees.
Chime interviewed investment banks in recent weeks before deciding to give Goldman Sachs a leading role in its listing, the sources said. Other banks will be added to the roster of underwriters in the run-up to its IPO, which could come as early as the northern hemisphere spring, the sources added.
The sources, who requested anonymity, cautioned that the timing and size of the offering are subject to market conditions.
Launched by former Visa executive Chris Britt and Comcast alumnus Ryan King in 2012, Chime offers its services through partnerships with brick-and-mortar banks, including branded cheque accounts with user-friendly features such as free overdrafts.
It makes money by earning a fee from payment processors such as Visa every time a customer uses a Chime debit or credit card.
If Chime decides to move ahead with its go-public plans, the company may have to brave choppy market conditions, which have caused some IPOs to be pulled in recent weeks and weighed on listings that took place in 2021.
Robinhood Markets, another popular financial technology start-up, has shed more than half its market value since its IPO in July, while shares of Brazilian digital bank Nu Holdings are down about 15% after its listing in December.
Chime enjoyed robust growth during the pandemic as consumers embraced digital banking services, while the company offered popular products including fee-free overdrafts and faster access to stimulus cheques.
The company does not disclose user numbers, but research firm eMarketer estimated in June 2021 that Chime would have 13.1-million US account holders by the end of 2021, leading the US digital bank market.
Chime competes with other digital banking services such as Revolut, Current and Varo.

3 trombones and a tuba accompanies us as we enjoy the famous tale of the two scallywags' seven boyish pranks. We hear the frantic flapping of Widow Bolte's chickens, which we then steal from her frying pan using a fishing rod. Tailor Böck, Teacher Lämpel Uncle Fritz and Master Baker, too, all fall victim to Max and Moritz until finally - with a "Rickeracke!" Rickeracke!" - the pair are fed into Master Müller's mill and the rascals are no more! The kids are guaranteed a great concert experience and, sitting on their cushions right in front of the musicians, will soon know how a trombone works.

The massive development of the internet dating industry, that will be believed become well well worth $2.5bn in america alone, now means people are confronted with a bewildering assortment of choices with regards to selecting their dating help of preference.
Two of the very most respected platforms within the UK — Tinder and Bumble — have actually millions of users globally, this means users want to sift through ratings of pages in order to find “the one”, or at someone that is least they could tolerate the notion of investing an hour or so with during the pub.
This abundance of choice is becoming a frustration for a lot of single individuals and contains eventually spawned a brand new variety of dating application: elite platforms unashamedly providing to specialists, the wealthy, the extremely educated and superstars.
The absolute most controversial among these online dating services is Luxy, which touts it self as being a “millionaires’ matchmaker” but described it self whenever it established in 2014 as “Tinder, minus the indegent people”.
The tagline is described by a number of specialists interviewed with this piece as “horrendous” or “horrific”. Certainly one of its competitors, talking independently, questioned whether it’s an application that anybody would on”“want to be.
But Raffael Krause, advertising supervisor of Luxy, states the company’s business structure spent some time working “from the beginning”. Luxy declined to present numbers on its profits or profits, but Krause claims it was lucrative since its year that is first of and today has a lot more than 2m users.
People who connect with be accepted about the app, which will be free during the fundamental level, must first pass a 24-hour procedure where they’ve been vetted by current people. Luxy’s staff then filter those applicants once again “to check whether or otherwise not an individual fits”, Krause claims. Only 10-15 % of these whom use are accepted while the business claims that 1 / 2 of its members that are active significantly more than $500,000.
Its showcases that are website of a few select people and their particular salaries: Irina in France whom earns significantly more than $350,000; Jason in l. A. Who earns above $250,000; and Robert in Seattle whom earns a lot more than $750,000.
Krause easily admits the app, which can be predominantly utilized by singles aged 30 to 49, is “not for everyone”. But he dismisses issues about elitism.
“On Luxy there are needless to say rich individuals, well-educated singles, effective individuals and high-class persons, ” he claims. “in regards to love, cash is needless to say perhaps perhaps perhaps not the essential factor that is important. But many individuals need to find a partner that is equally successful. Luxy is serving these requirements by giving the working platform.
“There are all sorts of dating apps, for Christians, for Ivy League graduates, even for Trump supporters. Why don’t you an app that is dating effective individuals? ”
Other apps geared towards elite users have actually adopted a less approach that is provocative
The internal Circle, which defines it self being a community that is“exclusive where users can satisfy “other inspiring singles”, has also been launched in 2012 into the Netherlands.
With regards to love, cash is needless to say perhaps not the essential important aspect
David Vermeulen, its co-founder, claims the concept for the working platform found him six years back as he ended up being solitary after investing an evening that is depressing through dating sites. Web sites had been uninspiring, he’d little in accordance aided by the dating pages he discovered and several associated with females lived a long way away. So he chose to launch different things.
The Inner Circle is just a cross from a dating application and an activities business. It organises social gatherings for its people, such as for instance polo tournaments, gallery spaces or cabaret evenings. Additionally posseses a software where users can organise times and see the restaurant or vacation recommendations put forward by other users.
Vermeulen defines it being a “platform for experts who are intent on dating”.
“People have fed up with endless swiping and think they are able to better spend their time and so they don’t head having to pay. We provide top-quality relationship and it’s also one thing individuals are ready to buy, ” he claims.
The working platform is absolve to join, although users who would like to access its complete selection of solutions, such as the capability to send “winks” to other users, must spend free online dating hookup sites the average subscription that is monthly of ?30.
Users are vetted in accordance with a selection of requirements, including occupation, age therefore the quality regarding the pictures they submit. “People want to place some work to the profile — a selfie at the mirror isn’t the picture that is right” he states.
He additionally declines to generally share the business’s profit or income numbers, but states it really is profitable, employs around 20 staff and it has 1.3m authorized users globally. The people, whom are generally aged 25-45 (the common age is 31), have actually included professional footballers, Game of Thrones actors, BBC professionals, famous cocktail shakers and “a large amount of finance people”, in accordance with Vermeulen. He bristles at the suggestion it could be considered elitist — particularly as the earnings of applicants are not a consideration although he acknowledges that students, Uber drivers, cleaners and McDonald’s workers are unlikely to be accepted on to the platform.
“We think it includes a diverse platform, ” he claims. “I don’t think about the Circle that is inner elitist. Everything we do is connect people that are dedicated to dating. We encourage a diverse community, different varieties of individuals. Possibly ‘exclusive’ would describe it better. In Amsterdam it’s not considered elitist — it is only another app that is dating individuals utilize. ”
More platforms that are dating at the elite have since entered the fray.

Nganget Joe-Brown Njoh, a student from the College of Technology in the University of Bamenda, has designed a prototype oil press machine called the Screw Cap Oil Press, with the ambition to empower local farmers and revolutionise the local oil extraction industry.
The 22-year-old who believes his craft will bring a solution that could reshape the landscape of agriculture, points out that the Screw Cap Oil Press will be able to extract oil from a variety of oilseeds like groundnut, soybeans, cocoa, and akpi seeds (njansang) with remarkable precision and control.
Joe-Brown says his motivation for the innovation is simply to free local farmers from dependency on costly, imported oil extraction machines which are often out of their reach.
He envisions a future where local farmers would take total control of their products and the market, thanks to the Screw Cap Oil Press.
Over the years, rural farmers have relied on labour-intensive methods like hot water flotation and manual presses, yielding disappointingly low quantities of oil. Joe-Brown wants to change the narrative with his prototype which will ensure the delivery of a higher oil yield depending on the seeds and completing the extraction in less than twenty-five minutes.
Unlike industrialised methods which often have several health concerns due to the use of hexane in the process of extraction and expensive price tags, Joe-Brown’s prototype is fabricated using locally available materials. This not only makes it a more affordable alternative but also promotes sustainability and local empowerment.
According to Kapreng Delre, a metalwork designer, “building parts like a two-horsepower motor, a cylindrical barrel, a screw shaft, a hopper, and a mainframe, the Screw Cap Oil Press can be assembled and tested in less than two months”.
What sets the prototype apart is not only its precision and control but also its ability to optimise energy usage, reducing operational costs and environmental impact. As Joe-Brown emphasises, “This machine empowers local farmers without demanding technical expertise.
“Just power it on, fill the hopper with grains, and witness the magic as it crushes the grains and extracts oil with ease,” he says.
However, the innovation doesn’t stop at oil, it extends to a valuable by-product – protein cake. This nutritious output produced during the oil extraction process can be a game-changer to human and livestock nutrition, containing minerals for those pursuing healthy diets and supporting animal feed.
Joe-Brown’s journey has already taken him to national competitions, where the Screw Cap Oil Press has attracted attention. Yet, his vision extends beyond praises. He aspires to establish a company that will extract oil naturally from various oilseeds, serving households and promoting a sustainable, locally-driven agricultural future.

Jessi Kirby, Golden
^ this amazing lady used to be a librarian at my middle school.
I remember shelving away books in the eighth grade as a TA; I also remember the day she told us she was leaving next year to become a full-time author.
2 years later, as a sophomore in high school, she made a presentation to my English class about the bookwriting process. She was publicizing her first novel, Moonglass, and giving us previews to her next two books, one of which was Golden.
And it’s just so awesome to know that anyone can change the course of their life to do what they love. For her, success came hand-in-hand with passion. she’s a great lady and maybe I should ACTUALLY find time to read this book because it sounds intriguing!
anyway. it’s spectacular where a dream can take you. :)
