MOSCOW, April 25 (Itar-Tass) – Criminal cases of former executives of the state company Rosoboronservice, which handled the procurement operations of the Russian Armed Forces, will be brought to the very end but only the court will have the power to establish the degree of their guilt, President Vladimir Putin said Thursday during a major nationwide question-time show.
He said it as he was answering a remark by his authorized delegate Viktor Voronets, who said it looks like “someone’s arm” does not make it possible to bring the prosecution of these criminal cases to the end.
“Neither the arm nor any other part of the body will ever prevent the investigators from finding out whether or not these people /Rosoboronservice bosses - Itar-Tass/ encroached on the law,” Putin said adding that the criminal cases had been instituted as soon as he had received a report from the Accounting Chamber.
“An unbiased investigation is in progress and I am confident it’ll be brought to the end,” he said.
“Still we cannot revert to the year 1937 /an allusion to the start of Joseph Stalin’s amassed purges of his presumed political opponents - Itar-Tass/ and to put those who are suspected of corruption to jail at whatever price,” Putin said.
“There’s no need to put anyone into jail in a preventive manner for the economic offenses of any kind and no one will be better off in reality if the suspect Yegeniya Vassilyeva /the central person in the Rosoboronservice scandal - Itar-Tass/ or any other people go to jail,” he said.
“On the contrary, we should see yet if all the convicts serving terms for economic crimes were sentenced correctly and if there was no mishandling of the justice system on the part of state power agencies,” Putin said.
Along with this, he said that only 15% of sentences are appealed at the courts of higher jurisdiction and this testifies to the efficiency of the Russian judiciary system.

The design challenge of this project was to promote Giorgio Armani 2017 eyewear collection with an immersive digital experience. We started by analyzing the video campaign presenting the new collection. The short movie talks about two strangers Emma & Tristan in Vienna speaking to each other by voice messages but never meeting in person. The story focuses on curiosity and the desire to share experiences. First of all we generated and prototyped several ideas on how to present this concept in a digital environment.
Choosing the right idea
We prioritized the generated concepts and discussed them with the client. We were looking for an idea with the right balance between originality and usability on mobile devices. The aim was to inspire users and let them dive into the story of Emma & Tristan rather than merely present the collection. Finally we choose to recreate the dialogue between the protagonists mixing texts, small pieces of audio and video. We used navigation patterns of messaging apps designing every element in a minimal and elegant style.
A matter of style
Designing for fashion means being really careful about style. So we developed a moodboard and a styleguide for the client to better understand our proposal before designing every single screen. Therefore we used Armani’s typography and clean style on a dark background to better fit with photography and video content.
From mobile to desktop
The website was designed mobile first but we worked hard to create an impactful experience on desktop too. As a result we used video and audio cuts from the movie to enrich the navigation. We also added custom interactions, such as opening a message or looking up, allowing the user to literally take part in the story.
Talk with the protagonists
During navigation, the user can literally start a conversation with the characters using a conversational interface. This way we led curious users into learning more about the campaign and the collections. This kind of interaction was also available on facebook as a chatbot.
The experience was appreciated by both the client and the users we tested on. Unfortunately the client didn’t provide us any data but just few comments about the analytics. The main result was an overall increase in permanence time and number of in-page interactions. The website was translated in 9 different languages reaching thousands of users per day all around the globe.

Why Crystal Palace should make a move for Olivier Giroud in January
According to a report from the Telegraph, Chelsea are ready to listen to offers for Olivier Giroud and Pedro in January.
Olivier Giroud, 33, and Pedro, 32, have both struggled for game time at Stamford Bridge this term, and there is a feeling that their time at the London club could be coming to an end.
Both the veteran forwards’ contracts expire next summer and will be allowed to begin negotiations with foreign clubs in January, the report claims.
Particularly in the case of Giroud, Chelsea may be open to bids in the upcoming transfer window so that they can recoup some part of the £18m they spent on him rather than letting him leave on a free transfer.
The Frenchman has fallen down the pecking order following the emergence of Tammy Abraham under Frank Lampard this term. He has started just one competitive match this season and needs regular football to give himself a chance of playing for France at Euro 2020.
The report adds that there is plenty of interest from French clubs in Giroud, while Crystal Palace and West Ham have also been linked with him of late. Keeping that in mind, Crystal Palace must make a move for the French centre-forward in January.
Just like the last couple of seasons, Crystal Palace are finding it difficult to score goals consistently. They may have started the new campaign well but it would be foolish from Roy Hodgson to ignore his team’s problems in front of goal.
So far, the Eagles have netted 10 goals in 11 games, which is way below the requirement to fight for a top-six finish. Therefore, it is a no-brainer for Roy Hodgson to add a new striker in the upcoming transfer window and Giroud would be a good fit at Selhurst Park.
Giroud has scored 19 goals in 67 appearances since joining Chelsea from Arsenal in January 2018. The vast majority of those outings have been substitute appearances, however. The France international is one of the very best when playing with his back facing the goal.

- Why Crystal Palace should sign Rhian Brewster on loan from Liverpool
- Why Crystal Palace signing teenager Scott Banks could be a smart move
He has been a reliable goal-scorer in the top-flight for a number of years now and despite being 33, he could still represent a valuable signing for Crystal Palace. In the video below, one could see Giroud’s qualities and what he’ll bring to the table if a move to Selhurst Park goes through.
With Euro 2020 coming up next summer, Giroud could be desperate to be in the France team heading for the tournament. Joining Crystal Palace would give him greater opportunities to start and perhaps revive his club career.

Residents had an opportunity to weigh in on the document that will guide the development of the city for the next decade, but few took advantage of it.
Robert Moody, a planner with the Catawba Regional Council of Governments, led a sparsely attended discussion Friday morning of the progress made to date on updating Tega Cay's Comprehensive Plan. The process began last fall. State law requires all municipalities to develop comprehensive land use plans. They are reviewed every five years and updated every 10.
Moody addressed different aspects of the plan throughout the day, and plans to give a similar presentation at the Glennon Community Center during the city's July 4 birthday celebration.
"This is the same process Fort Mill went through last year," Moody said. "Fortunately, Tega Cay had a comprehensive plan from 2002, so we had a starting point."
Updating the plan includes reviewing the 2002 plan and other city policies to determine if the goals and objectives included in the 2002 plan are still valid, Moody said.
"Are those goals things the city still needs to pursue, or are there other goals and policies that it should pursue instead?" he added.
Last fall, Moody set up a booth at the Tega Cay Fall Festival and asked residents to fill out survey cards. The survey asked for an interpretation of the city's motto, "The good life," and asked residents to state their favorite and least favorite things about Tega Cay. It also gave residents a chance to weigh in on what they consider the heart of the city to be and how they would spend $10 million to improve the city.
"We use the survey responses to give clues for the policies," Moody said. "There were multiple mentions of parks and trails and the lake, so we don't want to forget about those when we're developing specific policies under the plan."
The comprehensive plan is intended to act as an "umbrella" under which all of the city's zoning, growth and development policies will fall, Moody said. All of the information Moody covered Friday, including land use and development maps of the city, will be posted on the COG Web site, www.catawbacog.org.
Moody has been meeting with the city's various boards and commissions over the past year, and said Tega Cay is unique in that the number of residents involved in the inner workings of the city far exceeds what he'd expect to see for a city of its size. That level of participation means the finished plan is more likely to address most, if not all, residents' concerns.
The growing city, where hundreds of new homes are planned, has a population of approximately 7,400.
"The main purpose of this meeting is getting confirmation of the things we've heard and of the information that's been put together," Moody said. "Did we forget anything, are we on the right track?"
"Any time you can plan something ahead and follow up on it, the better off you are," Phil Glennon said. "In my thinking, the development of the new park in Gardendale is at the top of my list."
Glennon, a longtime resident, volunteer and former chairman of the Parks and Recreation Committee, was among the few who attended the workshop Friday morning. Another of his concerns is addressing transportation needs in the city, especially for many elderly or disabled residents that no longer drive. He likes Charlotte's light rail system, but he said he doesn't know what the best system for Tega Cay would be, he just hopes the finished plan addresses it.
"I'm disappointed not to see more residents here," Martha Manco said. "It's kind of sad because this is where they're looking for input. You can really make an impact if you choose to."
Another resident at the meeting, Heidi Schreiber, said, "I think it's great the city offers the opportunity for people to come out an give their input."
Tega Cay is paying COG a $25,000 consultation fee for its help with the plan update.

Nick Augusto has replaced Travis Smith as Trivium drummer.
The band have already put the new boy’s skills to the test by recording a couple of new tracks – ‘Shattering The Skies Above’ and a cover of Sepultura’s ‘Slave New World’.
Trivium frontman Matt Heafy was full of good words about the new recruit.
He beamed: “Nick’s drumming is very technical and diverse and he brings a real intense energy to the band and we can’t wait for everyone to hear the new song, ‘Shattering the Skies Above’, that we just recorded with Nick.
“I think it’s the best Trivium recording we’ve ever done; it’s raw, full of energy and I think Nick’s drumming really pushed us to a new level.”
Augusto filled in for Smith during the band’s Into The Mouth Of Hell We Tour worldwide jaunt.
Smith had been behind Trivium’s breathtaking drum sound since their 1999 inception.
You can check out a blast-tastic clip of Augusto playing along to ‘Shattering The Skies’ below.

In May of 1977, a group of concerned citizens, led by Kay Stout, A.C.S.W., met for the first time to discuss the problem of domestic violence in the Marion community. Immediate goals were developed to provide peer support and to begin educating the community about the issue of domestic violence. A long range goal emerged to establish a shelter facility where survivors of domestic violence could seek refuge.
In August of 1978, a corporation by the name of Concerned Citizens Against Violence Against Women was formed. Through C.C.A.V.A.W.’s efforts, funding was obtained and, in April of 1979, the dream of a shelter became a reality. Women and children now have a safe place to turn when challenged with domestic violence – a Turning Point that enables survivors of domestic violence to live a life free of violence.
History of Turning Point
Brief History of the Battered Women’s Movement
Prior to the 1970’s, partner abuse remained a horror that was housed behind closed doors. It was not until women gathered in the late 1960’s to share their stories that violence in the home became a public issue. With this emergence of women’s voices came what is known as the Modern Women’s Movement.
The Modern Women’s Movement challenged the existing conditions of women and served as a catalyst for the Battered Women’s Movement that emerged in the 1970’s. In the following years, the battered women’s movement dramatically changed society’s response to domestic violence.
In the early 1970’s, there were no battered women’s shelters in existence. Today, there are more than 1,500 shelters serving women, children and men who are victims of domestic violence.

TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust.
The worst kept secret of 2014 is now official - online radio aggregator Radionomy has indeed purchased Winamp and Shoutcast from AOL. Although specifics weren't mentioned, a reliable source recently told TechCrunch that Radionomy paid between $5 million and $10 million while AOL also reportedly took a 12 percent stake in the company.
That has to sting when you consider AOL paid around $80 million for Nullsoft, the former owner of the two properties, back during their meteoric rise in 1999. And the stake that AOL has taken in Radionomy is strictly financial, sources told the publication.
It's good news for Radionomy, however, as adding the two properties will make them one of the biggest players in the online radio business. At present, the company hosts around half of the online radio stations in existence - around 60,000 we're told (much higher than the previous 6,000 we were led to believe).
Moving forward, Winamp will continue to be offered just as it is today but will now have access to all of those radio stations. What's more, it'll be able to play 60 different audio and video formats and feature 6,000 add-ons which includes skins and plug-ins. Oh, and it'll be offered in 16 different languages.
Radionomy founder and CEO Alexandre Saboundjian said they want to rebuild the story for Winamp and think the future can be great because the strategy is not just for desktop but also mobile, automobiles and so much more.

- Competitive Market: The vacation rental market is highly competitive. Conduct competitive analysis and differentiate your property by highlighting unique features, exceptional guest services, and positive reviews.
Advantages of Investing in Desert Vacation Rental Homes
- High Rental Demand: Desert vacation rental homes experience high occupancy rates due to the surge in tourism. With proper marketing and management, investors can attract a steady stream of renters throughout the year.
- Favorable Return on Investment: Desert vacation rental properties often yield higher returns compared to traditional residential properties. The combination of high rental rates and strong demand allows investors to generate attractive income streams.
- Tax Advantages and Financial Benefits: Investing in desert vacation rental homes offers several tax advantages and financial benefits for savvy investors. For instance, owners can deduct various expenses related to the property, including mortgage interest, property taxes, maintenance costs, and property management fees. Additionally, rental income may be subject to lower tax rates compared to ordinary income, potentially reducing the overall tax liability. Moreover, the value appreciation of desert properties is another financial benefit. Desert destinations, particularly those experiencing rapid growth, often witness a steady increase in property values. This appreciation can result in substantial capital gains when selling the property in the future, providing investors with a profitable exit strategy.
- Potential for Appreciation: Deserts are becoming increasingly popular tourist destinations, leading to rising property values. By investing in a prime desert location, investors can benefit from long-term appreciation, resulting in potential capital gains upon resale.
- Personal Enjoyment and Lifestyle Benefits: Investing in a desert vacation rental home not only presents financial opportunities but also allows investors to enjoy personal benefits. Owners can escape to their property whenever they desire, indulging in the tranquil surroundings and soaking up the unique desert ambiance. These homes can serve as private getaways for family and friends, creating lasting memories while enjoying the comforts of home.
- Furthermore, owning a vacation rental home in a desert destination offers the potential for a diverse and fulfilling lifestyle. Investors can immerse themselves in the local culture, explore outdoor activities such as hiking and off-roading, or simply relax and unwind amidst breathtaking landscapes. The versatility and flexibility provided by desert vacation homes make them an enticing option for those seeking a blend of personal enjoyment and financial gain.
- Lucrative Rental Income Potential: One of the primary advantages of investing in desert vacation rental homes is the potential for generating a consistent stream of rental income. The rising popularity of desert destinations ensures a high demand for vacation rentals throughout the year, allowing investors to capitalize on seasonal and year-round rental opportunities. Moreover, short-term rentals often command higher rates compared to long-term leases, allowing investors to maximize their earnings.
Investing in desert vacation rental homes presents a compelling opportunity to combine financial growth with personal enjoyment. The rising popularity of desert destinations, along with the potential for lucrative rental income, tax advantages, and lifestyle benefits, make these properties a worthy addition to any investment portfolio. As with any real estate investment, thorough research, careful planning, and working with experienced professionals are crucial for success in this venture. By harnessing the unique allure of desert destinations, investors can unlock the hidden treasure of consistent returns and memorable experiences for years to come.

RONNIE WOOD celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Rolling Stones by marrying a woman born about the time "Some Girls" was released.
The 65-year-old guitarist, with a face only a Sun-Maid raisin could love, got hitched for the third time Friday to 34-year-old Sally Humphreys at the Dorchester Hotel in London.
Rod Stewart, who was in the Faces with Wood before he was a Rolling Stone, was the best man at the wedding. Stewart attended with is young wife Penny Lancaster and Sir Paul McCartney attended with his young wife Nancy Shevell.
Wood's three adult children were also there, ranging in age from 29 to 36.
No Stones were in attendance.
The London Daily Mail says Sally wore her mother's simple white wedding dress. Ronnie wore a spiffy dark suit with pink socks.
"There is an age gap," Humphreys acknowledged to the London Evening Standard a few weeks ago. "I would prefer it if there wasn't but there is. But maybe I'm a bit older and he's a bit younger at heart."
We're guessing Humphreys would prefer that Wood was 34 and not that she was 65, but who are we to judge true love?
* Bethenny Frankel is not Hoppy. She and husband Jason Hoppy are separating after two whole years of marriage.
Frankel told the Associated Press on Sunday that the split brings her "great sadness."
"This was an extremely difficult decision that as a woman and a mother, I have to accept as the best choice for our family," Frankel said. "We have love and respect for one another and will continue to amicably co-parent our daughter, who is and will always remain our first priority. This is an immensely painful and heartbreaking time for us."
Daughter Bryn was born in 2010.
* Rihanna has given $1.75 million to a hospital in her Caribbean homeland of Barbados in memory of her late grandmother.
Rihanna says the donation to buy three pieces of pricey medical equipment was her way of "giving back to Barbados."
She made the comments during a Saturday ceremony with relatives at the island's Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The hospital's radiotherapy unit has been renamed the Clara Braithwaite Center for Oncology and Nuclear Medicine after Rihanna's grandmother, who died in June.
* In other Rihanna news TMZ.com reports that a man in swim trunks entered her Barbados property Sunday but was quickly removed before he could take a dip.
* Crushable.com reports that a Utah ski resort hosted a double date between Taylor Swift and Harry Styles, and Taylor's BFF Selena Gomez and her seemingly on-again beau, Justin Bieber.

National Mortgage Settlement Monitor Joseph A. Smith Jr. released a progress report evaluating the compliance of Ally Financial/GMAC, Bank of America, Citi, JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo with the mortgage servicing standards mandated by the National Mortgage Settlement. He made findings against several of the servicers, including finding that Wells Fargo failed to comply with the Servicing Standard governing the timeline for notifying borrowers of deficiencies in applications for mortgage modifications.
In May, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced plans to pursue enforcement actions against Wells Fargo and Bank of America for violating several servicing standards governing timelines for processing loan modification applications. The more recent finding affirmed Schneiderman’s assertion that Wells Fargo is failing to live up to its obligations under the settlement. Smith was unable to assess Bank of America’s compliance with the timeline servicing standards because the bank failed to enact them in time for review. But the monitor did report that Bank of America has disclosed failing at least one of the standards complained about. A progress report on Bank of America is expected in the next report.
“Today’s report by the National Mortgage Settlement Monitor affirms that the pattern of violations by Wells Fargo that my office documented in New York is harming homeowners nationwide,” Schneiderman said in a statement. “Recent reports from Bank of America whistleblowers that the bank actually encouraged improper delays of modification applications are also deeply disturbing, and reinforce our concern that these banks are flouting their legal obligations under the settlement. These flagrant violations put homeowners in New York and across the nation at greater risk of foreclosure. I intend to use every tool available to my office to hold these banks accountable under the terms of the National Mortgage Settlement.”
Last year Schneiderman joined 48 states, the Department of Justice and the five largest mortgage servicers in negotiating the settlement. The agreement includes $25 billion for 49 states and mandated forms of consumer relief, such as mortgage modifications for at-risk homeowners, which could include lower-interest rates, forbearance agreements and principal reductions. Schneiderman committed $60 million from New York’s share of the settlement to launch the Homeowner Protection Program (HOPP), an initiative to fund housing counseling and legal services for struggling homeowners statewide.
The settlement also includes 304 servicing standards that participating servicers are required to adhere to and which are intended to smooth the process for homeowners to seek loan modifications.
The standards were incorporated into the National Mortgage Settlement to address longstanding complaints from consumers and advocates that servicers subject to the settlement — Ally Financial/GMAC, JP Morgan Chase, Citibank, Bank of America and Wells Fargo — persistently failed to provide fair and timely services to their customers. Among them are five standards that dictate the timeline for banks to process loan modification applications and to make loan modifications permanent.
Schneiderman’s office has documented hundreds of violations of those standards by Wells Fargo and Bank of America since October.
The settlement agreement provides that any party to the settlement may bring an enforcement action in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia following a 21-day notice to the monitoring committee. During that period, the committee may choose to pursue enforcement using the committee’s authority under the settlement or they may defer action. If the committee declines to take action, then the complaining party may pursue the legal claim on their own after a 21-day waiting period.
Violations of the timeline standards increase the likelihood that distressed homeowners will lose their homes because the longer mortgage modifications are delayed, the deeper homeowners fall into arrears. Additional fees, penalties and interest accrue during periods of delay, making modification more difficult and pushing homeowners closer to the brink of foreclosure.
The violations received by the Office of the Attorney General allege that Wells Fargo and Bank of America violated five servicing standards relating to the timeline for processing mortgage modifications and the conversion of trial loan modifications to permanent ones.
1) Servicer must provide borrower with written acknowledgement of receipt of loan modification application documents within three business days of receipt.
2) Servicer must notify borrower of all missing documents or deficiencies in application materials within five business days of receipt of documents from the borrower.
3) Servicer must give borrower 30 days to submit missing documentation or correct a deficiency.
4) Servicer must make a decision on a complete loan modification application within 30 days.
5) Servicer must promptly convert a borrower to a permanent loan modification once the borrower has satisfied the requirements of his or her trial period plan and executed a permanent loan modification agreement.
By mid-November of last year, Schneiderman’s office received numerous complaints from HOPP housing counselors and legal services attorneys from across New York state alleging that Bank of America and Wells Fargo repeatedly failed to respond to homeowners seeking loan modifications within the timeline dictated by the servicing standards.
By the end of April, the AG’s office had collected complaints citing hundreds of violations by Wells Fargo and Bank of America.

Hello Jan !
For the 'Lift me up' of Karla Dudley, I chose this layout and my lift is on line in my galery.
Have a nice day !
Jan, LOVE the colours and the unique story here. So happy you're part of Wilna's team. Fantastic combo!
this is b e a u t i f u l!!!

Yep - there's my little darlings again! Ha! The journaling says it all. And, in case you can't read it, it says, “There's so much that makes me laugh about these photos. Chris with his lap full of granddaughters. And loving it as much as they do. The fact that Maggie looks like she knows just what she's doing with that mouse in her hands. And those sweeeeet smiles, especially when Maggie spies me. Ha! They're the cutest geeks I've ever seen…”

Wilna Furstenberg released her digital brushes today called heART Supplies: Brushes#1. (So clever!) Here's the link: heART Supplies: Brushes#1

I LOVE these brushes. They are SO realistic. No more trying to get just the right length and ”dry brush“ look with the PhotoShop Elements brushes. Wilna has done it for me. These can be custom recolored (Edit: fill: then choose your color from your layout using the eyedropper tool) or they can be used as a clipping mask with either papers or even a photo. Cool! They're great for creating a solid space for journaling over ”busy" paper, for adding splashes of color/contrast or just because they look great! Well, gee, I'm not a salesperson, just a designer, but I just love these!

 All digital papers and elements come from Wilna's products, shown below. I also used the following fonts: Sylfaen (journaling); VTPortable Remington (title), System (large text box)

LORAIN — The Jet Express IV will make 19 trips out of Lorain this summer, with a half dozen new trips.
The Lorain Port Authority board on Tuesday approved the 2013 schedule for passenger ferry, which docks at Black River Landing and is operated by the Put-in-Bay Boat Line Co. of Port Clinton.
This year’s schedule includes trips on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from June to the fall football season, with trips to downtown Cleveland for Browns games.
“We’re looking forward to a very, very good and hopefully strong season this year with the Jet Express,” said Executive Director Rick Novak.
The new trips this year will include two Kelleys Island Family Cruises and additional trips to Put-in-Bay for theme parties at the island during the summer.
“In talking to a lot of people in the community, they feel that Kelleys is more family oriented island and it is, without a doubt,” said Port Special Events Coordinator Ralph Bruening. The port staff believe they can get better family ridership there, he said, and passengers on the Kelleys Island Family Cruises can get free rides to Put-in-Bay.
The Jet Express also will have three Wine Tasting Cruises, which have grown to become well attended trips drawing riders from Lorain as well as Avon, Avon Lake, Bay Village, Westlake and Rocky River, Bruening said.
Board member Tom Brown credited Bruening and Novak for their efforts to plan events and make more people aware of the ferry.
“It’s trying to build that brand and build our niche, slowly but surely we’re going to do it, and I look to better things in the future,” Brown said.

The former Artists’ Quarter space in the basement of downtown St. Paul’s Hamm Building will open at 9 p.m. Saturday for an after-hours jam session to tie in with the annual Twin Cities Jazz Festival. Pianist Jon Weber will host, and admission is a $5 donation to support the festival.
Minneapolis’ Dakota Jazz Club has taken over the space and plans to open under a new name in September. But general manager Martina Priadka said her staff has yet to do anything to the venue beyond cleaning it and spray-painting a message about the September opening on the wall. “It’s basically a pop-up space for the Jazz Festival,” Priadka said.
A management team is in place for the venue, and Priadka said they will be previewing some new cocktails this weekend. A final name has yet to be determined, and the Dakota staff plans to do some renovations before opening in the fall.
Artists’ Quarter owner Kenny Horst closed the club on New Year’s Eve, citing increased rent and other costs.

Fruitlab Organic Orange Liqueur
This product is sold out
HOW COULD WE MAKE A JUICIER ORANGE LIQUEUR? By zesting fresh oranges, not just using dry peel. Juicy and fresh, this liqueur tastes like ripe fruit, not candy. The secret lies in zesting fresh California oranges from local farms, which grow 80% of the country’s table oranges. It’s bold enough for cocktails yet smooth and complex served neat. Add to Margaritas, Old Fashioneds or simply sip with soda.
DESCRIPTION: A richer, cleaner orange liqueur that lingers on the palate without being heavy
TASTING NOTES: Bright, juicy and warm with layers of lush, lively orange
INGREDIENTS: Molasses spirits, sweet, sour and bitter oranges, and cane sugar
REVIEW “A delicious fresh fruit aroma and taste, with a balanced bitterness. We enjoyed it with a float of an inexpensive supermarket Prosecco for a light Sunday afternoon sparkling cocktail.” Michael Shulman, Well Produced Food and Wine
ANGEL’S FLIGHT 1 oz FRUITLAB Orange Liqueur 1 oz SLOW HAND Six Woods Whiskey 1 oz lemon juice 1 oz simple syrup Shake and strain into a martini glass Garnish with orange wedge

Rhyan Grant’s stars are finally aligning, with a Caltex Socceroos debut clean sheet in his home city of Sydney.
The Sydney FC defender has certainly had to overcome his struggles, recovering from a second ACL injury, but the months of gruelling rehab all paid off with a first international cap in Tuesday night’s 3-0 victory over Lebanon.
Perhaps more significantly, it provided the opportunity for the 27-year-old to put himself in contention for Graham Arnold’s 2019 AFC Asian Cup squad.
He said: “It’s just over a month until that [the Asian Cup] starts, so you’ve got to go back to club footy, still play at a high level and prove that you deserve to be here.
“So I’ll try my best to do that but yeah, it’s pretty good time to make your debut before a big tournament.”
It was also the ideal venue for Grant at Sydney’s ANZ Stadium, while he was able to renew relations with his former Sydney FC boss Arnold and his team.
“I think it did [help]. Obviously the surroundings are pretty familiar,” Grant added.
“To have Arnie [Graham Arnold] and Clarkey [Andrew Clark] and a lot of the ex-Sydney FC people around made the transition pretty comfortable for myself too.”
However, Grant was under no illusions that home comforts were going to make for a relaxing environment for his step up to the international stage.
“The tempo is very high and I suppose the pressure is a lot more,” he added.
“It is pretty intense out there and you’ve got to be on your game and switched on for the whole 90 minutes.”

I've had Type 1 diabetes for 14 years and can say from personal experience that eating out is always a challenge. I really appreciate Hope Warshaw and ADA for putting together such a thorough and useful guide to how to make restaurant eating with diabetes a little easier to manage. I particularly appreciate the section devoted to cuisines/types of food, like Indian and Chinese and the dreaded pizza, that pose particular problems and challenges in terms of controlling your blood sugar -- often the restaurant foods that are the least expensive also tend to be the most complicated for people with diabetes, so it's great to have a guide that's packed with real-world, practical tips. This is a fantastic resource for people with diabetes of all kinds, and I intend to bring it to my next doctor's appointment so that I can encourage my endocrinologist and nutritionist to share it with their other patients.
What a great book to own. Wish I had known about it even before I got Diabetes. All the chain restaurants with the breakdown of their dishes by calories, fat, carbs, protein, etc. Dishes are recommended or discouraged. Listing of food probably served in other restaurants by nationality as well. Now I know menus before I arrive at a restaurant and what I should order.
Eating out can be challenging. Author Hope Warshaw helps readers examine their own restaurant dining habits before setting a game plan. The book is much more than a list of restaurants with menus and nutrient contents. Topics beneficial for blood glucose control include enjoying alcoholic beverages safely with diabetes and glucose-lowering medications. Hope presents common situations and possible solutions. She answers questions readers might not even think to ask. Tips and tactics are practical and doable. The writing style is conversational and engaging. Readers will discover all the foods they CAN eat. Eat Out, Eat Well is a go-to source for everyone who wishes to eat more healthfully while dining out.
Hope has written an easy to read, comprehensive book on eating out with diabetes. As an RD working myself with many clients who have diabetes, this is a valuable resource for people who are trying to eat healthfully with their diabetes, but who also live in the real world and eat out frequently. The book is well organized, and Hope gives easy, practical tips for choosing healthy and delicious foods for many different types of restaurants and special diet needs.
This book is an excellent resource for anyone with diabetes, and quite simply, anyone who is striving to make simple, healthful improvements to their diet.Section 1 of the book offers useful strategies for eating at restaurants, including some self-quizzes to help you identify what your weak spots are and what strategies will work best for you.Sections 2 offer specific information about traditional American style restaurant food (everything from bakeries and sandwich shops to fast food and fine dining), while Section 3 delves into ethnic style restaurant food (e.g. Mexican, Italian, Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Indian, Middle Eastern).For me, Section 3 is the most interesting because I don't often cook any of the Asian styles at home, but I often eat at those style restaurants. The book reveals a lot about how the food is prepared, including where sugars are likely hidden.But most importantly, the book offers a lot of really great practical advice. Each of the chapters provides specific examples of menu items at restaurants you are probably familiar with, lists of words to look out for (the good and the bad), specific strategies for ordering healthfully at each restaurant, and even tips for ordering for children. People who are avoiding gluten will also appreciate the tips and tactics for gluten-free eating in each chapter.Bottom line: this book is like having a private consultation with a dietitian before you dine out. Highly recommend.
Too big for usability on the road. I was expecting a much more portable copy of this book. Also, too much info if you're interested in looking for info on the go. It reads much like a textbook, not as a user0friendly guide.
Hope outdid herself again with her latest publication in conjunction with the American Diabetes Association. While we like to tell our nutrition clients to cook more at home, we realistically know many people mostly eat out. Hope has created the ultimate guide to taking the 'need to know' about healthy eating with diabetes and applying it to every eating out scenario possible!
Hope Warshaw does it again by writing an insightful book about how to eat health and sensible meals when away from home. As one who travels frequently for work, I find the tips that Warshaw provides are so helpful particularly when I am eating with a crowd in an ethnic restaurant such as Indian, Thai or Mexican food. When I am on the road, and want to be mindful of my food intake, I take Eat Out, Eat Well with me. It serves as an important guide that keeps me on track with my desire to maintain my weight and eat healthy foods. Congratulations on another terrific guide!!!

Urban Aerial Mobility – or ‘flying cars’ – could present a more flexible way for cities to invest in future infrastructure.
Cities can help shape how this technology will be implemented and how it will impact their communities.
From ride-sharing to the COVID-19 lockdowns, cities have weathered massive changes in the past few years. These changes have altered how people got around, how they worked, and what fuelled their economies. A surprising new disruption is on its way – but this time cities have time to prepare and shape the solution that works best for their communities.
This next disruption goes by many names, but whether you call it Urban Aerial Mobility (UAM), Helicopter 2.0 or even ‘flying cars,’ this new approach to vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) offers an infrastructure (launch pads, etc.) that’s less expensive to build than rail and a technology that’s safer and more accessible than traditional helicopters. UAM, properly implemented, could connect existing transit nodes and even make it easier for cities to connect workers to transit needs.
Flying cars, once seen as part of some space age future, are in reach. Cautious predictions from technology companies, as well as regulatory agencies, say these solutions could be in place in as soon as 5 to 10 years. But to ensure the public trusts this new option, and that it truly works for people’s needs, cities must start planning now to shape standards and expectations.
To understand what’s needed, Agenda spoke with Harrison Wolf, the World Economic Forum’s Lead for Aerospace and Drones. Wolf is helping to drive the launch of a special set of principles for the urban sky to guide cities around the world. Los Angeles is set to implement these principles, and collaborations with other cities will follow. We talked to Wolf about why cities need to shape this new disruption and what’s key to keep in mind.
The following interview was edited and condensed for clarity.
Agenda: Define Urban Aerial Mobility and how it could reshape cities?
Wolf: It’s a new way of moving passengers and cargo through the sky. While we’ve had helicopters for a very long time, they’ve been just for a very small margin of society – mostly the elite. Helicopters have shown themselves to be less safe, perhaps, than other modes of aviation or transportation. It’s really looking at a more sustainable combustion approach to using batteries in hybrid engines. This safer option replaces helicopters’ single point of failure rotor with a distributed electrical system to provide redundancy from the sky if something fails. So, by combining safer, more secure, more sustainable and more efficient flight, the hope is that more people can fly through the sky and can move more quickly out of gridlock and across cities.
Agenda: How is this a more sustainable option than traditional helicopter engines that readers might be familiar with?
Wolf: It’s the difference between a combustion engine in a traditional car and [what you’d find in] a Prius. You reduce the carbon footprint dramatically as you introduce more hybridized, more fully electric vertical take off. Your range is a little bit diminished in the short term, but as these technologies mature and as battery density increases, you’ll have a [technology that’s] much cleaner, much more efficient, and much less prone to failure, which can in turn reduce the costs of maintenance and down-time, and thus, overall costs.
Agenda: What’s the opportunity here for transit?
Wolf: Uber Elevate is one company that’s looking at the economics behind these transportation modalities. What they say is that within a period of three to five years, it may be possible to get to a price comparison with an Uber Black. So, in these very dense urban environments where an Uber would maybe take an hour to two hours, you can fly fifteen to twenty minutes and pay the same cost. All of a sudden that becomes very affordable for at least the business traveler.
I think that in the short term, much like how the car was introduced, much like air travel was introduced, it will be something that is for the middle class and business traveller. Over time, as we figure out subsidies, as we figure out how to do cost-sharing, the cost will be driven down to a point where it can become more cost competitive. Scalability will really be the key to success – if you can get to a point where it’s faster to walk to a vertiport and fly than drive (and for a similar cost), the decision will be easy. But that will take many flight options to various points throughout the city.

Fajita Seasoning Mix
photo by limeandspoontt
- Ready In:
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3⁄4 teaspoon crushed chicken bouillon cube
- 1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cumin
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
- Use as needed in recipes calling for fajita seasoning.
This recipe is out friggin' standing!
I was using Taco Bell brand packaged fajita mix prior to finding this recipe. I never thought anything could be as good as the T.B. packages. When the packages became hard to come by, I thought I'd experiment with some homemade mixes.
When I saw that this recipe had over 110 positive reviews, I thought I'd give it a shot.
Aaaah maaazing...
It's actually BETTER than the. seasoning that I've been using for years. Made the recipe exactly as described, and used about one Tablespoon per pound of cooked chicken meat. I'll probably experiment with adding a bit more 'heat' ala cayenne and crushed red pepper, (because I have a preference for hot food) but this recipe is fantastic right out of the box.
I saw the comments about this not tasting like Lawry's... I think I found the "trick", add lime juice and worchestershire sauce to meat. My husband is also a die hard Lawry's fan!!! I've tried other fajita recipes in the past and he disliked every one... until now. He said these were the best ever! The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is I felt the recipe did need the extra "kick" of lime & worchestershire.
Very pleased! Look no further, however-I think Iam going to omit the bouillion-a bjt too strong chicken base flavor comes thru and detracts from the fajita. Simply add to pre cooked Shredded chicken and heat thru -OR- slice 2 large chicken breast into thin strips, add seasoning and toss onto hot griddle, grill up some sliced onions and bell peppers and, *voila.

Cell growth (cell enlargement) is as fundamental for growth of organisms as is cell division. Implicit in cell growth is an increase in cell size, i.e., cell enlargement. Without cell enlargement, no organism can continue to grow. Cells unable to enlarge eventually are unable to divide such that growth will cease. Yet, compared to cell division, the enlargement phase of cell growth has been largely neglected by cell biologists. Moreover, it is this part of the growth process where the Golgi apparatus may be most closely involved.
Proliferating cells in culture tend to double both their size and their mass before each division (Mitchison, 1971). A dividing cell, if spherical, in order to double in volume, must increase the surface covered by the plasma membrane by a factor of 1.6 (Graham et al., 1973). In addition, they must produce membrane material to compensate for degradation (turnover). Included within this category are dividing cells which form large parts of their surface membrane de novo along the plane of division within a relative short time such as during cell plate formation in higher plants (for review see Whaley, 1975) and furrow formation (Albertson et al., 2005) in non-walled cells during cytokinesis at the end of mitosis.

When hosting a party for your loved ones, whether that’s a birthday, engagement celebration or after a christening, you may find that you need alternatives to the main food that everyone else will be enjoying. Despite being a hog roast Wingate company, we’re used to catering for lots of different dietary requirements, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free, as well as offering many other menu options for your special occasion. If you need a simple hog roast Wingate and veg or our pigs in buns, that’s fine, but we can also provide you with all kinds – like canapés and a fancy sit-down menu, a dairy-free dessert or a vegetarian flan – whatever floats your boat!
Talking of boats, earlier today we helped Frank and Rosemary celebrate the special occasion of him retiring from the Navy after many years of service, and they asked us to cook one of our winter warmer hog roasts Wingate at the family home. With two vegetarian daughters and Rosemary herself needing a gluten-free dish, we discussed the options with the couple when they booked us in. Rosemary would be able to eat all of the meat, vegetables, potatoes, stuffing, apple sauce, and gravy, just like her guests, as these were already suitable, so that was one down, two to go. The daughters could still enjoy the roasted root vegetables of swede, carrots and parsnips and our garlic new potatoes, and we would make them a French onion tart, too.
On the day of the retirement party, we set up our equipment in the back garden of the family home and got to work preparing the meat to be slow-roasted for a few hours. There would be around 30 guests of family and close friends, to be served a hog roast Wingate later in the afternoon. An outdoor get-together at this time of year can be chilly to say the least, but that’s where our winter warmer can help.
Once the guests had all arrived, the gorgeous hog was finally resting and the vegetables, potatoes and tarts were lovely and warm and waiting to be served. The queues began and we were off, slicing off chunky bits of crackling and juicy pork, and filling plates with plenty of taste and goodness.
