Ready to make it this rainy weekend to brighten things up! A light, very moist cake with an intense lemon flavor. This Citrus Ricotta Bundt Cake is so moist and satisfying with a perfect hit of lemon. Hi Tori – I made the cookbook version of this with gluten-free flour and unfortunately it didn’t cook through despite leaving it in for extra time. Print our free Thanksgiving coloring pages to keep kids of all ages entertained this November. So now here I was with a picked over bundt, no more ingredients for a new cake or the ability to run out to the store to grab some. How much is sufficient to produce a rich chocolate flavor? Hi Megan! Hi Sharon, that’s so strange, I’ve made it a gazillion times and it rises…. this website. All the best. Help !! I’m a pediatric sleep specialist who has seen it all, and I’m here to tell you that it’s not too late to get your child to (happily) stay in his own bed all night long. Try testing it with a toothpick when it looks done in the oven, likely around 35-40 min? Thank you for sharing your yummy recipes! My ricotta was the dry variety. They are less refined vs white sugar and add a lot of moisture to baking as well which I love. What this time at home has really taught me is to accept things for what they are, be really real and to let go of the notion that things need to be perfect. the cake was still very good, but the texture was very dense, it did not look like the picture at all… any ideas what I did wrong??? And of course, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram! I told myself I really need to let. Depending on the size of the pan, this recipe will make 6 to 8 mini bundt cakes. A new favorite. I can not tell you how often I have struggled with getting the perfect blog post up with the perfect pictures. My mom’s ricotta cake was always made in the “torta” style, with a lattice top. What is the sauce you put on top? Scrape down the sides, and continue to beat for a minute. I also noticed that the right quantity of lemon juice is 3 Tbsp or ideally 40g. I used your recipe today but I did not add any lemon, hubby doesn’t care for lemon. Mix in the eggs one at a time, incorporating well. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Add the vanilla, lemon juice/zest and mix until fully … Then I lifted the pan and exposed the most PERFECT bundt cake you ever did see. . This looks delicious thank you! I was a bit weirded out by the Ricotta to be honest, but finally tried it. 2 tablespoons lemon juice plus 1 teaspoon, divided. Tastes so lovely. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack. I’m curious why that is? I made this for a family gathering on Sunday. I added 2 cups tossed with 2 Tbsp. The only thing different I did was use coconut sugar and part skim Ricotta, will def.make again!!! A few days ago, right after Easter, I was excited to use up some extra ricotta cheese I had in the refrigerator. How do you think this would turn out with all purpose G-Free flour ? But it was in that moment of letting my imperfect bundt go that I realized, right now is as real as it gets. Whisk until combined. I made this cake this weekend and it was delicious! While I only share relatable food and recipes, I always find myself in this photo perfection conundrum because those are the posts and images that catch everyone’s eye. It is quite similar in texture to another Ricotta Cake I have onsite already, but this one is baked in a bundt pan and is topped with a lemon glaze. Hi Judy! Delicious and moist. Followed the recipe exactly and it was a crowd-pleaser! Learn how your comment data is processed. It thickened up to a nice fluffy batter after adding the flour. I am wondering if there’s something I might have done wrong? I was so upset and my poor daughter looked at me like this lady has gone mad and then proceeded to look at me with her big brown eyes to say: “sorry” ( not sorry) “it smelled too good”. This is a wonderful idea indeed, and yes you can absolutely add one or two Tablespoons Amaretto. Thanks. Hi Donya, I’m sorry to hear this! Just perfect! Hmmm, en effet en version vegan ca peut être super intéressant. I hope it will help for next time! I hope this helps! Simply saying "bundt cake" evokes happy, fond memories from kinder, gentler times. I hope this helps. I won’t lie. It can also come from the oven and/or the baking time that can change from one oven to another. It lives in between. ★☆ Everyone in my family loves this cake. Pour into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spoon as needed. Hi! Then the more I looked at that little hole on the top, the more I realized, this is real life not everything is perfect, especially when it comes to cooking and baking. Hi Jodi! Looking forward to making this recipe. Tori. . What is a good replacement for the honey? Thanks so much for the recipe!! I spent some time setting the stage for the first set of photos and just before I was finishing up, a moving shadow appeared from the corner of my eye and it was heading towards the kitchen on my right. Hi Angela it’s hard to say as I haven’t tried it but would love to hear from you if you do! I hope you enjoy! Light and lovely, not overly sweet. Del. Fold in blueberries. I absolutely love lemon anything and had been eyeing this recipe for some time. Mind you it was all eaten. I would definitely refrigerate the leftovers to keep the cake moist. I wonder if it is a difference in altitude? This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. The batter was a lot thicker than I was anticipating so I added about a 1/4 cup of milk. You can drop off this bundt cake any day of the week Looks amazing!!! The perfect bundt, the perfect photo shoot, all of it. So remember, the next time you see one of those “less than perfect” pinterest pics there’s probably a small town, unknown, food loving, real life recipe blogger behind it like me! It was the hit of the party! While the cake was cooling, I started the next steps in the food blogging process, staging the photo area. I won’t lie. Oui tu peux parfaitement réaliser ce gâteau avec du sucre roux à la place, cela fonctionnera également à merveille.

Enterprise Architecture Forum Background
An effective Enterprise Architecture enables the organisation to achieve the right balance between IT efficiency and business innovation.
However, new elements are affecting the way in which the Enterprise Architecture is designed and implemented. In today’s unstable climate, where change is becoming the norm and every organization needs to respond rapidly to the constantly changing needs of the business environment, sound enterprise architecture is more important than ever. The advent of cloud computing, interoperability, re-use and agility bring new challenges and opportunities which need to be taken into account in producing an overall business architecture that truly matches the needs of the organization for an integrated IT strategy, permitting the closest possible synergy across the extended enterprise.
This event provides a lively and interactive discussion forum for all those looking to build on or improve their business architecture, to understand how to build relationships across the enterprise and how to incorporate the necessary interactions with management, staff and customers. The latest in a long line of Forums and Conferences from UNICOM – it also brings together potential buyers of Enterprise Architecture related solutions, services and consulting with organisations who can provide them.

The Agent Orange Equity Act
With the elections over, the new Congress and Senate will have their first session in early 2013. They will be faced with many issues, some old, some new. It is time for the new Congress and Senate to put aside politics and become legislators. There are still two major Bills in committee of interest to Vietnam veterans, House Bill HR-3612 and Senate Bill S.1629. These Bills are to restore VA benefits for Agent Orange exposure during the Vietnam war.

If your love of fermented foods knows no bounds, then it could be time for you to pick up and enjoy a cup of fermented tea, known as kombucha.
Kombucha is a bubble, sour-tasting fermented tea dating back to ancient China. While commonly made from black tea, kombucha can also be fermented from green tea. As part of inducing the fermentation process, bacteria, yeast, and sugar (be it cane sugar, honey, or even sugar from fruits) are added to black or green tea before allowing it to ferment for a week or so. During fermentation, the bacteria and yeast form a living colony known as SCOBY (symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast) which is often later used to ferment new kombucha.
Benefits of kombucha
As a result of the fermentation process, kombucha becomes carbonated, and it also contains B vitamins, enzymes, and numerous probiotics – which is also a plus. While our gut bacteria are responsible for a number of integral bodily processes, consuming probiotics can serve to strengthen said processes, and by doing so, we’re sure to enjoy a number of benefits for our overall health.
1. Supports gut health
In a perfect world, our guts consist of a healthy ratio of good and bad bacteria; however, this ratio can typically become unequal, thus affecting general health. The consumption of probiotics, such as the ones found in kombucha, can help to restore the balance, which can then ensure overall health.
2. Eases digestion
With regards to its rich probiotic content, by supporting gut health; kombucha can help to ease digestion.
Aside from making food more digestible, it can help with other forms of gastrointestinal health by alleviating symptoms of irritable bowel system, constipation, and diarrhea.
3. Boosts your immunity
As probiotics help the body better absorbs nutrients, the improved absorption of the right nutrients can boost the immune system and strengthen the fight against infections and diseases.
Perhaps because it’s often made from green tea, which possesses its own anti-oxidative properties, kombucha can help to detoxify and provide anti-oxidative protection.
4. Protects cardiovascular health
Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, but drinking this fermented drink could help to lower those statistics.
High levels of cholesterol are a common precursor to heart disease, yet animal studies done in rats revealed how kombucha improved levels of cholesterol in little under a month.
5. May help manage type 2 diabetes
Consuming kombucha with a low sugar content may help to alleviate diabetic symptoms.
An animal study revealed how kombucha not only helped to reduce blood sugar levels but also helped improve the functionality of both the liver and kidneys – which is often a point of concern amongst diabetics.
6. May help protect against cancer
Antioxidants found in kombucha may be the missing ingredient in the fight against cancer. According to a test-tube study published in the journal Biomedicine & Preventive Nutrition, kombucha helped to hinder the growth and spread of cancerous cells.
7. Helps maintain a healthy liver
The liver is one of the body’s main filters thus it’s important to maintain its health.
While studies have only been done on rats as opposed to humans, these studies have revealed how kombucha reduces the amount of toxins located in the liver. This can help to ensure overall health in case the liver becomes overburdened with filtering out toxins from the body.
Creating kombucha at home
While kombucha is seemingly easy to create, it’s important to be careful if you wish to make it at home.
Prolonged fermentation can result in contamination which can cause health problems, which is why it’s best to purchase it in a health store. In doing so, be sure to inspect its sugar content. Once you have your kombucha (store-bought or homemade), be sure to store it in a clear glass bottle and never shake the bottle, as this may result in the container exploding.
You can put it in the fridge if you wish to extend its shelf life.
Whether you enjoy kombucha by itself as an alternative to sweetened cool drinks or add it to smoothies, drink up and drink healthy.


NCBN slammed once again AP CM YS Jagan at Bobbili, Vijayanagaram public meeting. He thrashed YSRCP Government for bad financial management. NCBN questioned how can YS Jagan be able to construct three capitals, if he cannot even give salaries to Government employees of AP, on time every month. He said that from Employees to Farmers to household citizens no one are happy about AP financial situation.
NCBN said that Rs.3 Lakh crores worth of infrastructure has been spoilt and wasted by YSRCP Government. He talked about how farmers in AP are unhappy and how the state is No.3 in farmer suicides and deaths. NCBN expressed his concern about how farmers are not getting fair price or cost price that will help them breakeven in the state.
He further said that AP is rapidly losing its ability to generate income and people need good and able governance . NCBN mocked YS Jagan as button CM and said, “Hit Button and Save Corruption!”, is the slogan for the current CM YS Jagan and YSRCP Government in AP. He mocked YSRCP financial plans and budget expenditure and stated that TDP will solve the issues, as soon as they come to power.

President Poised to Ban Toxic Chemicals in Kids' Toys
In the next few weeks, President Bush is expected to sign into law the Consumer Product Safety Commission Reform Act, long-awaited legislation that would ban toxic chemicals called phthalates from children's toys and other products. The Senate voted to approve the bill last week in the face of growing pressure from concerned parents and public health advocacy groups like the Breast Cancer Fund.
"This is a David and Goliath victory," Janet Nudelman, director of program and policy for the Breast Cancer Fund, said in a statement. "Public health advocates and parents were up against big oil and the chemical industry, and we won. This should serve as a wake-up call to industry: chemicals linked to cancer and birth defects have no place in children's products."
To find out more about phthalates or the much-needed regulation of the chemical industry, visit http://www.breastcancerfund.org.

In May 2012 he concluded a 3000-mile walking expedition, trekking the length of China from Mongolia to Hong Kong and filming along the way. National Geographic are producing a series for subsequent broadcast on their channels. One day after finishing the expedition, he ran a leg of the Olympic relay carrying the Olympic Flame along a section of the Northern Irish coast.
Previously he rode 14,000 miles solo and unsupported on a bicycle from New York to Hong Kong, an adventure that is currently airing on television in over 60 countries. He has also recently funded a non-profit organization, which utilizes adventure in order to mentor young people and to raise awareness and funds for impoverished communities around the world.
Leon grew up in Northern Ireland and moved to England to study Film at the University of Kent. In 2008 he graduated with a First Class Honours degree, and began freelancing as a cameraman in London and the South East. He now specializes in adventure camerawork, and has shot documentary footage on 5 continents. He has experience in deserts, jungles, oceans, and sub-zero temperatures, and had filmed broadcast from light aircraft, helicopter, jet-boat, kayak, motorbike, and bicycle.
Leon travels around the UK regularly sharing his stories of adventure. He draws upon his endurance challenges and experiences to share the message that anything is possible if we persevere and always give more that is expected of us. He firmly believes in the benefits of calculated risk-taking, and that having big goals and a sense of adventure are keys to success.
In 2013, Leon and fellow Team RailRiders adventurer Alastair Humphreys teamed up for the "Into the Empty Quarter" expedition, a crossing of the Empty Quarter on the Arabian Peninsula, the World's largest sand desert. Following the inspiration of legendary explorer Wilfred Thesiger, who had done a similar (non self-supported) journey a hundred years earlier. The film they made, Into the Empty Quarter was nominated for awards at the Banff Film Festival and is available at www.intotheemptyquarter.com.
In 2014, Leon teamed up with Tom Allen to complete a sea-to-source journey along Argentina's Rio Santa Cruz. Following the footsteps of Darwin and Fitz Roy, the adventurers both linked up with specific locations from the 1834 journey, as well as surveyed the local population and ecosystem as the area prepares to be submerged by two massive hydro-electric dams, which could wipe out as much as half of the river.
Leon and his expedition partner Tom Allen successfully crowd-funded two new films: one on their monthlong-trip down the Karun River in Iran, and the other following their horsepacking trip from sea to source of the Rio Santa Cruz in Argentinean Patagonia. They are hoping to put out both feature length documentaries later this year.


Bald Eagles removed from the Endangered Species List
This Independence Day the United States has another reason to celebrate. The population of American Bald Eagles, the majestic symbol of this great nation, has made such a recovery that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) announced last week that it will be removed from both the Endangered Species list and Threatened Species List.
According to the USFWS in 1963 there were barely 400 nesting pairs of bald eagles left in the lower 48 states. Since then their numbers have increased 25 fold and some 10,000 pairs of Bald Eagles now call the lower 48 states home. While they will no longer be a listed species, they will still be protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which prohibit taking, killing, selling or otherwise harming of eagles, their nests or eggs.
It should be emphasized, that the bald eagle was only on the Endangered Species List in the lower 48 states and that they were not endangered in Alaska. In fact, when I lived in the island fishing community of Sitka Alaska (population 8,500) some twelve to fifteen years ago, I worked at one of the two chain fast food restaurants there. The restaurant was on waterfront property and if one went in to open the restaurant in the early morning and the tide was out, quite frequently there would be dozens of bald eagles on the shoreline fishing. During the summer months it was routine to have up to almost a dozen bald eagles sitting it the top of a partially dead tree at the edge of the parking lot. They would spend their day watching the activity around our drive-thru and watching the swarms of ravens and seagulls fighting over French fries the customers would toss to the smaller birds. The eagles sitting in rows in the tree watching the activities almost reminded one of an audience in a theater watching a play.
In a park where I frequently played disc golf with a friend, it was common for eagles to be sitting in the top of trees watching the activities below them. They really seemed to be a curious bird that enjoyed simply watching the activities of the day from high up in their perches. It was in this park that I had one of my strangest encounters with a bald eagle. We were playing disc golf, when suddenly we heard the sound of crashing branches. We looked up just in time to see an eagle tumbling through the forest and crash into the forest floor in the most inglorious way. We were very dumbfounded and simply stared at the eagle in disbelief. The giant bird repeatedly tried to gain flight to get out of the forest, but its wingspan was too long and it kept crashing into branches, which would again bring it to the ground. The routine of it hoping along the ground for a few yards, trying to gain flight and then crashing back to the earth because of tree branches continued for a few minutes until finally, the eagle made it to a clearing big enough to gain flight unimpeded by trees. For such a majestic bird, this was a very inglorious event.
With all the environmental battles and news of doom and gloom, sometimes it is really nice to be able to write on an environmental success story like bald eagles being removed from the Endangered and Threatened Species List. You can read all about this delisting on the USFWS bald eagle website.
Oh and this Wednesday, if like me you will be celebrating our nation's independence, say a thank you to the so often maligned Endangered Species Act for helping to bring about the return of our national symbol. While we are celebrating this success, we should not forget the other less charismatic but no less deserving animals on the Endangered Species List like snail darters, delta smelt, etc.

The sky was the most beautiful I’d ever seen. It just seemed to open up and feel so wide and engulfing … big puffy white clouds everywhere and the bluest of blues. This may sound silly but it felt alive!
The lobby of our hotel, The Holland Hotel, in Alpine, TX
We stayed in a little town called Alpine, TX, about half an hour away from Marfa. Like always, I waited too long to make reservations and the hotel I wanted in Marfa (El Paisano – read more about this gem in the tips below!) was fully booked. Maybe it was meant to be, though, because we actually ended up loving our hotel, The Holland Hotel, and the sweet little town it was in!
Our first night we spent exploring the streets of Alpine. We had dinner in a converted gas station (Guzzi Up) and it was awesome! Then we walked around, found a shaved ice place and hunted around for the best view for sunset. It happened to be the steps of an old Spanish church. The next day, we headed over to Marfa:
It was just as rad as I had hoped … a tiny little desert town sprinkled with art galleries and shops and fantastic eateries (I’m sharing my faves in the tips below). But the locals … the locals were by far my favorite part of the town. Everyone was so friendly and down to earth and wanted to get to know you and where you were from. Time felt a little slower in Marfa and I loved it.
We had lunch at the famed Food Shark food truck and it was SUBLIME. We had to wait about 30 minutes for our food but the shaded communal picnic tables made the wait go by quickly and the food was to die for – yummmm.
After exploring Marfa, we set out to see Prada Marfa which is actually about 35 min away in Valentine, TX. Here’s what we saw along the way:
And then, just when I was beginning to wonder if we were on the right road, it appeared!
While we were there, several other cars came and stopped for photo opps, too.
That night, we had bar food for dinner at Planet Marfa and chilled out by the teepee until the sun started to set. As it started to get dark, we drove over to the Marfa Lights Viewing Platform a few miles out of the town. Quite a crowd had already gathered and as the sun dipped even lower, we started seeing what everyone had been talking about! We saw the mystery lights!! Well, J doesn’t think we saw anything but everyone there (including myself) will tell you they exist. They’re strange little orbs that dance around and then disappear and reappear. I have no idea what they really are but it was pretty incredible to see them. Even if you don’t witness the mystery lights, the sky itself is worth viewing … I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a clear sky filled with stars – truly amazing. On our way home, we also saw a faraway lightening storm that lit up the sky.
CBB’s Top Tips for Marfa, TX:
Where to stay. We stayed at The Holland Hotel in Alpine, TX, and it was great! It gave us a chance to get to know another little Texan town and the hotel itself was quite a gem. It dates back to the early 1900s. If you want to stay in Marfa, El Cosmico offers airstream trailers and teepees. This was a little too roughin’ it for me, so I wanted to stay at Hotel Paisano – the hotel where Elizabeth Taylor stayed while filming Giant in the area. You can even stay in the suite she stayed in!
Where to Eat. We had so much yummy food on this trip.
My recommendations for Alpine:
– Guzzi Up, a pizzeria that is in a converted gas station. It’s also right across the street from The Holland Hotel. Great pizzas, great drinks and they’re open super late.
– Railroad Blues, a bar just a block down from The Holland Hotel. We didn’t actually make it to this bar (it was closed when we tried) but it looks awesome and has great reviews. The local music sounds like it would be fab and the local scene would be fun. Try it out!
And my recs for Marfa:
– Food Shark. Don’t go to Marfa and not eat here – it’s an experience. And one that tastes pretty darn delicious.
– Planet Marfa. This bar is more like a mini community. They have a giant teepee, a ping pong table, a resident parrot, a fluffy dog with one eye blue and one brown who likes to beg for food, and an amazing central bar with great conversation. And the bar food was actually super good!
– Ballroom Marfa. There are several galleries in Marfa but this one was probably my favorite – it’s a contemporary cultural arts space gallery housed in a converted dancehall that dates to 1927. When we visited, there were several films to watch, each pretty interesting. / 108 E. San Antonio St. / Highway 90 West. Open Wednesday through Saturday, 10am-6pm, and Sunday, 10am-3pm.
– Secret little gallery! Yep, you might walk right by this one but I’m going to tell you all about it so you don’t miss out. Go inside the Marfa Book Company and head toward the back to discover a “secret” little art gallery. I’m not sure if it has rotating exhibits but when we visited it was all about “haunted pieces.” There was a model of the Amityville house and lots of Victorian-era ghostly things.
Prada Marfa. You definitely want to see this if you’re in the area. This ironic/iconic art installation is definitely what prompted me to plan this vaca. It’s technically in Valentine, TX, which is about half an hour north of Marfa on U.S. 90. It was created by Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset and unveiled in October 2005. If you’re not familiar with the story, click on the link to find out. / GPS coordinates: 30° 36′ 12.37″ N, 104° 31′ 6.52″ W’
– Day trips. If you’ve made it all the way to Marfa, make sure to check out the surrounding area. We visited Fort Davis one day and I’m glad we did. It was interesting and the town was cute. Big Bend National Park is also nearby – you could canoe to the Santa Elena Canyon for impressive views. I wanted to do this but my fear of snakes held me back.

Research and Development in the FastLane
- By Paula Shaki Trimble
- Apr 24, 2000
By October, the National Science Foundation hopes to have all of its research
proposals submitted and processed electronically through a system called
The system is a World Wide Web-based proposal submission, review and
tracking program that started as an experiment and has grown into the agency's
method for achieving an electronic business process.
During the first part of this year, 78 percent of proposals from academic
institutions were submitted electronically, said Linda Massaro, NSF's chief
information officer and director of information and resource management.
Massaro is well aware that getting the last 10 percent probably will be
Who's in the FastLane?
FastLane enables NSF customers to conduct business
electronically with the agency. Individuals primarily from academic institutions sign on to the system and send and receive transactions with NSF. Those
transactions include award searches, proposal preparation, proposal reviews,
status reports, project reporting, requests for funding under a current
grant, or post-award notifications and requests.
FastLane is connected to the agency's accounting systems, which will
enable grantees to draw on their awards electronically. When they make the
request through FastLane, the system will verify the amount, which is based
on NSF's account records, and send an electronic fund transfer request to
the Treasury Department. The Treasury then will distribute those funds to
the university electronically.
Why use FastLane?
NSF says it believes that using FastLane will result in more efficient
processing of transactions, faster NSF response to requests and proposals,
and direct access by users to the information that affects their daily work.

According to a study, published in the scientific journal Addiction, even low to moderate consumption of alcohol causes seven forms of cancer. The new analysis, which has been endorsed by health experts, finds enough credible evidence to link alcohol to cancer of the mouth and throat, larynx, oesophagus, liver, colon, bowel and breast.
The findings of the report come as a stark reminder that more awareness campaigns should be launched to deal with public ignorance about the close relationship between drinking and cancer, notes The Guardian. The conclusions of the report are derived after a 10-year analysis of the reviews undertaken by World Cancer Research Fund, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the World Health Organization’s cancer body and other authoritative bodies.
Jennie Connor, from the University of Otago in New Zealand, said the supposed health benefits of drinking appear “irrelevant” when compared to the heightened risk of a range of cancers, writes The Telegraph.
The study also shows that people who drink and smoke are at a greater risk of developing cancer. However, Connor’s research found that the risk of some types of cancers can be reversed if people cut down or stop drinking.


You can use the Active Roles console or Web Interface to add a picture for a user, group or contact object. An advantage of using pictures, such as the photographs or logos, is that a picture makes it easier to recognize the user, group or contact in e-mail clients and Web applications that can retrieve the picture from Active Directory. When you supply a picture for a user, group or contact via Active Roles, the picture is saved in the
thumbnailPhoto attribute of that user, contact or group in Active Directory.
Active Roles provides a policy to enforce the picture size limits, including maximal and minimal dimensions and the option to resize the picture automatically. When you add a picture to the user, group or contact, Active Roles checks the dimensions of the picture, and does not apply the picture in case of policy violation. If automatic picture resizing is enabled, Active Roles reduces the dimensions of the picture as needed, by resampling down the original picture.
thumbnailPhotoattribute of the user, contact or group object class. You can choose a different attribute for each object class separately. For instance, you can configure the policy to control the
jpegPhotouser attribute while retaining control of the
thumbnailPhotoattribute of groups and contacts.
By default, the built-on Policy Object is applied to the Active Directory node in the Active Roles namespace, so the policy options affect all users, groups and contacts in the managed domains. If you need different policy options for different domains or containers, create a copy of the built-in Policy Object, and then configure and apply the copy as appropriate.
In Active Roles, administrators can configure policies of the pre-defined types that are installed with Active Roles. By default, the list of policy types in the Active Roles console contains only the pre-defined types, such as Home Folder AutoProvisioning or User Account Deprovisioning. It is possible to extend the list by adding new types of policy.
Each policy type determines a certain policy action (for example, creating a home folder for a user account) together with a collection of policy parameters to configure the policy action (for example, parameters that specify the network location where to create home folders). Active Roles provides the ability to implement and deploy custom types of policy. It enables custom policy types to be created as necessary, and listed along with the pre-defined policy types, allowing administrators to configure policies that perform custom actions determined by those new types of policy.
Active Roles allows the creation of custom policies based on the Script Execution built-in policy type. However, creating and configuring a script policy from scratch can be time-consuming. Custom policy types provide a way to mitigate this overhead. Once a custom policy type is deployed that points to a particular script, administrators can easily configure and apply policies of that type, having those policies perform the actions determined by the script. The policy script also defines the policy parameters specific to the policy type.
Custom policy types provide an extensible mechanism for deploying custom policies. This capability is implemented by using the Policy Type object class. Policy Type objects can be created by using the Active Roles console, with each object representing a certain type of custom policy.
The deployment process involves the development of a script that implements the policy action and declares the policy parameters; the creation of a Script Module containing that script; and the creation of a Policy Type object referring to that Script Module. To deploy a policy type to a different environment, an administrator can export the policy type to an export file in the source environment and then import the file in the destination environment. Using export files makes it easy to distribute custom policy types.

Once upon a time I used to be a pretty good athlete. In high school I played Varsity level soccer, basketball and volleyball, making captain on both my soccer and basketball teams. I enjoyed practices, getting to play the sport(s) I loved, while hanging out with my friends. The extremely beneficial side benefit to playing sports was how in-shape I was. The sometimes extremely painful side effect to playing sports was the nasty injuries I sustained.
Over the course of my 4 years of playing 3 sports at a competitive level I had about 20 sprained ankles, roughly 10 on each side. Ouch! The elasticity in your tendons just don’t go back to “normal” after each injury. Coupled with the fact that I probably did not allow myself the appropriate time to heal. I ended up just tapping my ankles up so I could continue playing. Silly, I know, but that leads me to my topic, competitive sports - I wish I had oils when...
One of the first doTERRA products that immediately jumps out is doTERRA® Deep Blue Rub. Deep Blue is a topical cream that contains strong soothing & cooling properties, which can offer comfort to sore muscles before and after exercise.
Next I want to highlight seven essential oils that could have been game-changers for me:
- Breathe® Respiratory Blend - Maintains feelings of clear airways and easy breathing while minimizing the effects of seasonal threats. doTERRA Breathe can be applied topically to the chest, back, or bottom of feet, or diffused at nighttime to calm the senses and promote a restful sleep.
- OnGuard® Protective Blend - Can be taken internally on a daily basis to maintain healthy immune function and support healthy cardiovascular function.* It can also be used on surfaces throughout the home as a non-toxic cleaner. When diffused, doTERRA On Guard helps purify the air, and can be very energizing and uplifting.
- Lavender - Its calming and relaxing qualities, when taken internally, continue to be Lavender’s most notable attributes. Applied topically, Lavender is frequently used to reduce the appearance of skin imperfections. Add to bath water to soak away stress or apply to the temples and the back of the neck. Add a few drops of Lavender to pillows, bedding, or bottoms of feet to relax and prepare for a restful night’s sleep.
- Melaleuca - Best known for its purifying properties. It can be used to cleanse and purify the skin and nails and to support a healthy complexion. Taken internally, Melaleuca promotes healthy immune function.* Melaleuca is frequently used on occasional skin irritations to soothe the skin and diffusing Melaleuca will help purify and freshen the air.
- Peppermint - Frequently used in toothpaste and chewing gum for oral hygiene, Peppermint also helps alleviate occasional stomach upset and promotes healthy respiratory function when taken internally.* Place a drop in palm of hand and inhale for a mid-day pick-me-up or rub on temples, across forehead and neck to cool you down and/or to relieve head tension.
- Frankincense – It’s soothing and beautifying properties are used to rejuvenate skin and help reduce the appearance of imperfections when applied topically. As the king of oils, Frankincense is known to support healthy cellular function when used internally.* When inhaled or diffused, Frankincense promotes feelings of peace, relaxation, satisfaction, and overall wellness.
- Lemon – Taken internally, Lemon provides cleansing and digestive benefits and supports healthy respiratory function.* When diffused, Lemon is very uplifting and energizing and has been shown to help improve mood.
In high school I would have carried around this Athlete’s Kit.
It’s got the first 5 oils listed above, along with the Deep Blue Rub in a convenient carrying case. I would have personally added in the Lemon because lemon in water not only taste good and keep you drinking it, but it also acts as a natural and gentle detox. Frankincense for me is a no brainer! One I highly recommend taking internally every day – I personally do one drop under my tongue every morning. With the myriad of health benefits associated with Frankincense, including reducing inflammation, for an athlete (and every single sole on the planet) Frank is a MUST!
Whether your a high school jock, professional athlete or somewhere in between and you want to be supported through your oil journey I'm happy to help. Feel free to contact me with questions or click here to get the Athlete's Kit above.

This is an excellent forest service cg. Liked it so much last year, we reserved an Electric site for a weekend, but the $9 fee was unsettling. However, the base rate was just $24, then half off for Passes. Nice place to relax, with no internet, cell,etc. But the daytime highway noise gets loud. No dump station, but 2 water spigots available. Go to Big Sky for a cell signal, stop at the Hungry Moose for great eats, and many recycling bins nearby. We camped at Red Cliff Campground - Gallatin National Forest in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: August, 2013 - $14.00
Very nice Forest Service CG with electric hookups on southern loop. Reservable online , with some walk-up sites- we got a good one on a weekday afternoon. Base rate is $14; half off for certain govt. passes, then + $2 for electric. Super friendly, busy hosts. Large, mostly level sites. Clean vault toilets. Big Sky is up the road and has a small market with good deli food . You can get a cell phone signal there; none in CG. We camped at Red Cliff Campground - Gallatin National Forest in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: July, 2013 - $20.00
Chose this campground so we could visit friends near Big Sky. Overall was a nice forest campground on the Gallatin river. We stayed at site 5 - just a 20 foot walk to the river. We had plenty of privacy in our site. While there is no water hookups, you can fill up when you enter the campground (just go left and left again). We would stay here again if in the area. We camped at Red Cliff Campground - Gallatin National Forest in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Date of Stay: July, 2011 - $18.00
One of the better N.F. campgrounds in the area. Wide enough interior roads with a good turn around, good gravel with out much dust. It is by the river but the mosquitoes were not to bad. There are a limited number of sites with electricity and they are in a separate part of the camp ground. The place will be closing down in September 2011 for a complete "redo" in time for next year summer season. Listed as big rigs "OK", but I would absolutely have some way to check your site before hand as trees and depth could be a significant problem. The campground hosts are wonderful people and if you can get them on the phone (it is possible) and explain your rig then they can advise you appropriately. The sites (electric) for greater than 34 feet with electric are near the host on east side then at least #s 7,10, and 12. There are more but I remember these. Make your reservation asap since they go quickly. There are 3 sites that are non reservable but plan to arrive around noon or sooner if you want to get one. The venue is great, near by to Big Sky resort and shops, but supplies are limited there. Located about 12 miles from the north edge of Yellowstone park on Hwy 191 40 miles from the West Yellowstone entrance. One amusing thing, the hosts sell firewood cut and wrapped imported from " California " how strange. Would definitely stay again if the chance arises in the future. Especially since we now know the lay of land. We camped at Red Cliff Campground - Gallatin National Forest in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Date of Stay: June, 2010 - $16.00
This National Forest campground is about an hour north of Yellowstone along the Gallatin river. Sites are about 50 ft from the river with easy access. The southern loop has 30A electrical hookups. There is water available during the summer near the entrance. Very quiet and peaceful setting. Sites were packed dirt and gravel but were fairly level and include a table and fire pit. Many hiking and sightseeing opportunities in the area. We would stay here again. We camped at Red Cliff Campground - Gallatin National Forest in a Motorhome.Undo

ATLANTA—Mayor Kasim Reed announced today (Aug. 18) the Georgia State University Foundation has finalized its purchase of the Turner Field site from the Atlanta-Fulton County Recreation Authority.
Associate Vice President for Public Relations and Marketing Communications
The foundation and the authority recently signed a purchase and sales agreement for the property. Georgia State University’s plan for redevelopment of the site will now go to the University System of Georgia Board of Regents for review and approval.
“The acquisition of the Turner Field site by Georgia State University requires Board of Regents approval, and we are working closely with the Board on the important next steps of the process,” said Georgia State President Mark P. Becker.
“Georgia State University Foundation’s signing of the purchase and sales agreement with the Atlanta Fulton County Recreation Authority is a key step to allow essential Board review before we can move forward with our development plans for the site. In concert with our partners at Carter, we are focused on pursuing a dynamic development plan that will bring new energy and vitality to this historically significant part of Atlanta.”
The Atlanta Fulton County Recreation Authority passed a resolution in December naming Georgia State and development partners as the preferred bidders for the project. The university has been working with Atlanta-based Carter and Associates since 2014. The plan for the site includes a football stadium, baseball complex and retail, residential and student housing.

Frank Stokes Davis, William Howard Mcdowell, Nollie Garnett Cope, Robert Lee Dowell, Grady Lee Estep, and Eugene Edward Kennedy, Appellants, v. United States of America, Appellee, 279 F.2d 127 (4th Cir. 1960)Annotate this Case
Decided June 6, 1960
John L. Nettles, Florence, S. C., and W. M. Nicholson, Charlotte, N. C. (H. E. Yarborough, Jr., Florence, S. C., on the brief), for appellants.
Lafayette Williams, Asst. U. S. Atty., Yadkinsville, N. C. (James E. Holshouser, U. S. Atty., Greensboro, N. C., on the brief), for appellee.
Before SOBELOFF, Chief Judge, HAYNSWORTH, Circuit Judge, and BARKSDALE, District Judge.
These defendants were convicted by a jury in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina on an indictment charging a conspiracy to violate the laws relating to distilled spirits, 18 U.S.C.A. § 371. The broad claim of error which they press on this appeal is that they were denied a fair and impartial trial. They cite, in support of this claim, the following incidents of the trial: (1) the allegedly excessive questioning of witnesses by the District Judge; (2) a discussion between the judge and counsel out of the jury's presence relating to a motion to suppress evidence; (3) the judge's tolerating the District Attorney's argument to the jury which is said to have referred indirectly to the defendant's failure to take the stand; and (4) the judge's summation of the evidence in his charge to the jury.
We have examined the record bearing on the incidents cited and find nothing in them warranting criticism of the conduct of the trial.
The questions addressed by the judge to the witnesses were neither improper nor excessive in amount. They were well within reasonable limits, were calculated to clarify the testimony, and seem to have had that effect. Nor were the questions partial to the Government; such interventions as the judge made from time to time did not violate his role of neutrality.
The United States Attorney's argument cannot be said to have constituted a forbidden comment on the failure of the defendants to testify. He merely reviewed certain testimony and added, truthfully, that there was no evidence in contradiction.
Finally, we discover no ground for complaint either in the judge's remarks made out of the jury's presence, or in his charge, which was a fair and balanced review of the testimony.

When children experience disruptions (adoption/foster care), trauma or neglect development is impacted. Often adults expect certain behaviors and abilities based on a child’s chronological age, however they may not be there, most of the time. If we view a child as their developmental age and respond/address behaviors the way we would respond to a child of that chronological age we will help them move forward. We can’t reach the top of the ladder without touching the rungs below. These children need to experience the world through the younger lens that they weren’t able to because their body was in survival mode and put development on hold. This series will give examples of what to look for in your child and respond to them based on their “inside age” not and not their “outside age”. The time frames are estimates as all children have an individual developmental path regardless of their history.
From birth to 12-months, thumb and hand sucking are a sensory and calming experience. If an older child is doing this they may have missed this sensory experience as an infant.
Infants are sensitive to loud noises also and may be easily startled or cry. Older children may avoid vacuums/hand dryers etc. or cover their ears.
Infants use demanding cries when hungry, wet, scared or sick. Older children may throw tantrums, get irritable or scream when they have a need but don’t know how to communicate it. Just like with babies, try food, a hug, a sweater - to figure out the need and meet it.
Around 6-9 months of age babies can distinguish tones of voice and emotions of others. Exposure to high conflict/domestic violence will make them very sensitive to changes in the adults around them. Don’t think because they are young they are unaware or not impacted by emotional events around them.
Separation and stranger anxiety develops around 9-12 months of age. This is normal for this age, if seen in older children they may have had a traumatic separation younger. (hospitalization of a parent or the child, foster care,death of a caregiver, etc.)
Tantrums like slapping, kicking, knocking things away develop at the end of the first year also, which is the beginning of expressing emotions. If an older child expresses anger this way they may not have gone through this step.
When we stress we regress, if an older child loses their ability to use words and uses sounds/gestures when highly upset/dysregulated they are likely regressing to this time period when communication was not with words.
Learning in the first year is through sensory experiences. If an older child is really seeking different sensory experiences, especially over organized play they are going back and getting what they need and what they missed.
If your older child is acting like a baby, it may be because they missed some opportunities when they were a baby and are trying to go back and get them - meet them where they are at and they will move forward.

Mediterranean restaurant Ego, which has been on Hope Street for 18 years, is relocating outside of Liverpool.
The Punchbowl in Sefton Village will serve as the eatery’s new home as part of the brand’s plan to grow its pub locations throughout the country.
In an email to customers, the chain, which has 16 restaurants, says the move follows “18 wonderful years in the city centre”.
The messages reads: “We are excited to announce that we are relocating our city centre restaurant on Hope Street to The Punchbowl in Sefton Village.
“The decision to move from Hope Street was taken to further grow our Ego brand in pub locations throughout the country.
“We have had 18 wonderful years in the city centre and developed countless friends over that period, many of whom are regular visitors to Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.
“We will miss you, but hope to see many of you at The Punchbowl later this year!”
Ego at The Punchbowl, which will feature an open kitchen alongside a full bar serving beers, regional cask ales and cocktails, is expected to open in mid May 2019.

Life in 2020, due to the pandemic shifted to computer, tablet, and phone screens. With electronic screens literally becoming our windows to the world for the majority of us, with the exception of close family life. The amount of time we spent on our devices significantly increased with the changing world, and this happened for children too. But screens take away a large part of our social interaction and visual attention needs, direct eye contact in our daily life is extremely important.
Most of us are not aware of the true benefits of having regular eye contact with someone, be it our children, our romantic partner, our business partner, work colleague, or the close friends we love. Direct eye contact is a powerful stimulator when it comes to establishing love and close relationships and is needed off the phone or computer screen, in physical reality, for trust to build. Direct eye contact switches on the central nervous system, and human brain.
The Power of Direct Eye Contact
The science behind eye contact is not essentially philosophical. Modern research provides a scientific explanation of the power of direct eye contact. A recent study on mutual eye contact shows that the cerebellum and limbic mirror system mediate mutual interaction during eye contact. 1 The same study points out the significance of direct eye contact in connecting humans during social communication. Furthermore, the study emphasizes that humans can distinguish between live and delayed videos of others’ faces though they cannot precisely spot the differences.
An earlier study on the neuroethology, function, and evolution of eye contact underscores that regions in the monkey and human brain contain neurons that respond selectively to faces, bodies, and eye contact. 2 In a nutshell, eye contact helps us in connecting with another more deeply.
Can Regular Direct Eye Contact Reduce Stress?
The hormone ‘oxytocin’ is associated with bonding. It is the feel-good hormone that cements social relationships. 3 We already know that hugging, touch, warmth, etc. releases oxytocin in the brain. Apart from these aspects, it is now proven that eye-to-eye communication also triggers the release of oxytocin. 4
Oxytocin has an anti-stress effect on humans. It reduces the level of cortisol which is the primary stress hormone. In other words, oxytocin has an inverse relationship with cortisol. 5 Oxytocin also improves pain thresholds, reduces anxiety and stimulates many other feel good chemicals which positively affect us physiologically and psychologically, so assist in more positive social interactions to occur.
In simple words, an increase in oxytocin levels will lead to decreased cortisol levels. Consequently, having genuine direct eye contact with friends, work colleagues or someone you love can help to significantly decrease stress levels.
The Role of Eye Contact in Brain Development
The power of eye contact is not limited to stress reduction and improving social connections. Eye contact forms the central part of our non-verbal communication and it is now clear that making direct eye contact in an infant-caregiver relationship has a large role in the child’s social brain development. 6 Developmental studies show evidence for preferential orienting towards, and processing of, faces with a direct gaze from early in life. 7
For many centuries, it has been a challenge for scientists to study brain images of multiple people at a time in functional magnetic resonance imaging machines (fMRI). In a recent study, a group of researchers at the National Institute for Physiological Sciences in Japan has conducted a hyper scanning fMRI study to understand the underpinnings behind eye contact. The study explored the behavioral and neural representations of mutual interaction during eye contact by comparing the neural activity associated with real-time eye contact compared to non-real-time eye contact.
For the study, Norihhiro Sadato and his colleagues used eye blinks as a marker of interbrain synchronization. As per the study, real-time interaction during direct eye contact activates the brain’s cerebellum and the cingular motor cortex region. It further stimulates connectivity within the limbic mirror system. As we know, the limbic mirror system is associated with the human ability to share and recognize emotion. Thus the study suggests that real-time direct eye contact prepares the social brain for sharing with others.
Eye contact is a beautiful experience, and opportunity to share with another – why would we avoid it? Basically, if we don’t feel safe, or feel threatened.
Similarly, another study explored the intrinsic brain activity associated with direct eye contact during a mother-child interaction. The study shows a ‘positive correlation between the frequency of eye gaze and the right anterior insula (AI) or middle frontal gyrus in children and a positive correlation with the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) precuneus/cuneus in mothers’. 8 Furthermore, there is a positive association between the frequency of eye contact and mother-child interaction quality.
When adults and babies look at each other, ‘neural synchronization’ happens, and a ‘joint networked state’ is created. 9 Similarly, this can happen when two people really care about or love each other.
Direct eye contact or gaze from others has fascinated us since our initial days of our life. It is the primary mode of establishing a communicative context between humans. 10 It is useful in stimulating attention and connection in human interactions, but also to determine safety with another. If someone’s eye contact is threatening or unsafe we will register it immediately.
Put simply, direct eye contact helps us to genuinely connect to another. But it is now clear direct eye contact is a stress-reliever with someone who cares about us, as it releases and stimulates the hormone oxytocin, which helps to develop a healthy attachment between people. So direct, sincere eye contact can relieve stress and calm us.
By harnessing the power of direct eye contact, we can work toward a better connection with people and those we love – our family, friends, our children and significant other.

HIF Masters & Women’s series finale
Duranbah Beach, Queensland Australia
17 - 18 June, 2017
Harrison claims victory with the highest two wave combination score of the series - 18.50
Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 18 June, 2017 - Eight individual Queensland Champions were crowned today at the 2017 HIF Masters & Women’s event two at Duranbah Beach in peaky but challenging 3ft conditions.
In what was a nail biting finish that kept everyone on the edge of their chairs, Gold Coast up and comer Piper Harrison (Coolangatta, QLD) finished the series off with a bang to take out the Blue Ribbon Open Women’s division for 2017.
It came down to the wire between Harrison and Sunshine Coast surfer Sophie McCulloch, with equal ratings points Harrison claimed victory with the highest two wave combination score of the series,18.50 (out of a possible 20.00). Harrison was electric in this afternoon’s final with an outstanding combination of high-speed snaps and powerful rail work to hold off McCulloch (Coolangatta, QLD), Lauren McGregor (Nerang, QLD) and Angie Adler (Bilinga, QLD) who finished the series respectively.
“I’m absolutely over the moon right now, it’s so exciting and I’m so pumped. This has been a dream of mine for ages,” said Harrison. “It was so awesome for everyone to be getting good waves, it really turned on for us in the final. I surf here every day so knowing the banks and what they’ve been like definitely gave me an advantage."
As Queensland Open Women’s champion, Harrison will get the opportunity to surf against the worlds best at the World Surf League Championship Tour 2018 Roxy Pro trials at Snapper Rocks.
Andrew Doyle staked his claim as one of the best Masters surfers in Queensland, taking home the Over 35 Men’s title for 2017. Despite being eliminated in today’s semi final, Doyle’s first place finish at event one was enough to put him over the line in what was a a very tight finish that saw him closely watching Gold Coasters David McGrath (Labrador, QLD) and Damien Healy (Broadbeach, QLD) from the beach in the final.
In the Over 50 Men’s, Gold Coast surfer and well known board shaper Stuart Smith (Mermaid Waters, QLD) took home the Queensland Title for 2017 and adds another trophy to his collection. Smith impressed the judges this afternoon with his textbook style of top to bottom, vertical fins free surfing. With a second placed finish at event one on the Sunshine Coast combining with today’s second placed finish, Smith was hard to beat and ended the series at the took of the ratings board. Smith will join series winners Harrison and Doyle to represent Queensland at the 2017 Australian Surfing Festival, set to be held on the Tweed Coast in July/August.
Today’s event also saw an inspirational result for both Brooke Colless (Palm Beach, QLD) and the entire surfing community in the Over 35 Women’s division. After battling cancer for the last 12 months and undergoing chemotherapy in 2017, Colless threw on a competition rash shirt and took to the water in the prestigious Queensland Titles to finish third.

*Vows to name & shame offenders
Port Harcourt — Worried by the spate of energy theft and other infractions by some customers in the system, the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Plc., PHED, has vowed to begun the naming and shaming of offenders.
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of PHED, Dr. Henry Ajagbawa, who decried the negative impact of energy theft on the company, said aside naming and shaming, offenders would be made to face the full wrath of law.
Ajagbawa warned the offenders to desist from such an unholy and wicked act capable of threatening the sustainability of the company, noting that no stone will be left unturned until every offender is brought to book.
“We are determined to eradicate energy theft in the system and that’s why we are collaborating with the security agencies.
“Any customer caught by-passing or tampering with our meter will not only be named and shamed, but shall in addition face the full weight of the law and thereafter made to pay for loss of revenue arising from the unwholesome act.”
The PHED boss also announced that the company was losing over N2.5billion on a monthly basis due to energy theft.
Ajagbawa reiterated that energy theft should not only be the concerns of Discos, but the concerns of all Nigerians, as curbing it remains one of the ways through which services can be improved in the power sector.
“One of the ways that we can survive and improve on our services is when customers pay their bill and stop meter bypass.
“We are coming after those who are involved in meter bypass and we will get back what belongs to us. Those sabotaging the system must be brought to book.
“We need a legislation to criminalize energy theft and vandalism of electricity facilities. If you criminalize it and make the consequences severe definitely, we will have it better. Nigerians should learn to pay for energy consumed,” the PHED boss said.

|Title:||Dynamic mechanical analysis of glutaraldehyde cross linked polyvinyl alcohol under tensile mode|
|Citation:||AIP Conference Proceedings, 2019, Vol.2057, , pp.-|
|Abstract:||Nowadays researchers are looking out for biodegradable materials alternate to petroleum-based materials due to many global issues. Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) cross-linked with Glutaraldehyde (GA) polymer have found widespread applications in light-weight structures in replacement of non-biodegradable polymers. The PVA cross-linked with GA polymers were prepared using a conventional compression type molding technique. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis has been carried out to evaluate the tensile storage and loss modulus, tan delta, and elongation, in the temperature range of 25-160�C. The results exhibit improvement of thermo-mechanical properties at higher temperatures due to GA crosslinking. Experimental results indicate that the tensile storage and loss modulus were improved due to GA crosslinking. The elongation of PVA-GA decrease considerably with GA crosslinking. The shore D hardness improves with crosslinking up to 20% GA, and further marginal increase in hardness beyond 20% GA crosslinking. � 2018 Author(s).|
