I fell in love with all things culinary when I was little. My Grandma would serve multiple courses at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, when I graduated from fruit cocktail to shrimp cocktail I felt pretty refined. After working in restaurants, planning weddings, taking food and wine classes, and watching copious amounts of Food Network you could say I’m definitely a culinary enthusiast. Each Thursday I will feature something related to my culinary passion. I hope you enjoy todays 5 Grain Stuffed Peppers recipe!
Since my husband wanted to add more veggies into his diet, I’ve been trying new recipes with things I know he would like that are loaded with veggies. I looked through a ton of recipes for stuffed peppers (I love bell peppers!) and I just couldn’t find one that I really liked so I created my own recipe using the others as a guide. If your kids aren’t into stuffed peppers just spoon out the filling for them (it will still have the delicious pepper flavor) and keep the cooked pepper to add to some sausages and onions for another meal. Please know that all but one of my peppers was meatless. I added some browned sausage to my husband’s pepper to beef up the protein. Raley’s 5 Grains adds great nutritional value and an invited change to the typical rice. The colorful peppers add flair to your typical weeknight meal. You have to try my 5 Grain Stuffed Peppers.
Also, I used Raley’s 5 Grains for this recipe. It is a blend of spelt, barley, whole grain long rice, kamut and whole oat grain. It only takes about 10 minutes to cook. I like the different textures you get from the different grains. You could use rice, quinoa, or just about any starch you like or have on hand.
Meatless 5 Grain Stuffed Peppers
- 4 bell peppers any color
- 2 Tb chopped cilantro
- 1/2 chopped onion
- 1 15oz can black beans, rinsed
- 1 4oz can chopped green chiles
- 1/2 package Raley’s 5 Grains cooked per package instructions
- 1/2 cup frozen corn
- 1/2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese, plus more to sprinkle on top
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp oinion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Optional: any browned ground or shredded protein or tofu would be great in this
Preheat your oven to 350° and grease a casserole dish (preferable with high sides). Start by prepping your peppers, cut the very top portion off and remove any seeds or ribs you see inside. I keep the lids and use them in other dishes or chop and add to a salad. In a large bowl mix all the remaining ingredients except the egg. In a separate small bowl beat the egg and add to the large bowl. Mix this all together. Spoon into the prepared peppers pushing down as you go. If you have any mix left over, you can freeze it for later. Top the stuffed peppers with a little cheese and cover. Bake for 30 minutes, remove foil and cook for another 10 minutes.

The police have arrested an Indian Army colonel accused of raping his friend’s wife earlier this week. The Army officer was arrested on Tuesday evening while he was returning from work.
The alleged incident occurred last week at the officer’s mess of the Central Ordnance Depot, where the colonel was posted. Kanpur SP (East) Rajkumar Agarwal said the colonel’s superior officers had been informed about his arrest. He has been sent to jail.
The complainant is married to the accused’s childhood friend. She said the accused, who had made advances at her in the past, invited her and her husband to dinner to celebrate his recent promotion. The couple arrived in Kanpur from Lucknow late night on December 10, and around midnight were allegedly served drinks laced with sedatives.
The complainant said that after her husband fell unconscious, the colonel forced himself on her and sexually assaulted her while she was heavily intoxicated. The woman is of Russian origin and has been living in India for almost a decade.
Earlier this week, the police confirmed to The Indian Express that prima facie there were some injuries on the woman’s body, and her allegations appear to have merit. The police registered an FIR based on her complaint on December 12 but recorded her statement two days later.

As the economy recovers, the government aims at keeping unemployment levels low to safeguard people’s revenues and roll out targeted policies including the introduction of a national minimum salary, Finance Minister Constantinos Petrides said on Friday.
Speaking to the Cyprus News Agency a day after the island recorded the biggest drop in unemployment on an annual basis, Petrides said the jobless rate was a “very representative index for the economy since there are people behind each figure.”
“And this is why the fall in unemployment is very important, meaning that some of our fellow citizens have found work recently despite the pandemic,” Petrides said.
The government’s aim as it entered the recovery phase was to keep jobless rates low to safeguard revenues but also to advance other policies like minimum salary, he added.
The minister struck a note of caution however, regarding the uncertainty arising from the pandemic.
“The real impact of unemployment will show when the support schemes are terminated,” he said. “But we are convinced that with the course of the economy at the moment, unemployment will remain low.”
Responding to criticism from opposition Akel over the rise in fuel and electricity prices that has more impact for low-income families, Petrides said there was a rise in inflation in certain sectors worldwide that affected raw materials.
“Akel knows very well that this government has lined up the biggest investment in renewable energy sources to spare consumers of the cost of electricity.”
Petrides said it appeared that government incentives are being used in RES investment and that was why the government has dedicated a lot of funds in a bid to cut Cyprus’ links to international phenomena that led to higher electricity prices.

TRAMORE Valley Park looks set to finally be up and running at full capacity in 2018.
Former Lord Mayor, Cllr Des Cahill, confirmed he plans to formally propose the allocation of €70,000 in Cork City Council's 2018 budget to get the multimillion park open after years of delays.
Some €40 million was spent developing the public park on the site of the former landfill on the Kinsale Road. The large site was landscaped and internal roads and walkways laid down.
While the park has several pitches and a large BMX track which are used, it remains unstaffed and underused for the most part.
In recent weeks, a spokesperson for Cork City Council's parks department confirmed that the local authority intends to have the facility up-and-running by mid to late 2018, though conceded that it would cost '€50,000-70,000 per year' to run the park.
Fine Gael councillor Des Cahill said that the park has been idle for long enough and that he wants to see it available to the people of Cork.
"In Cork, we are very fortunate to have such a vast greenfield site so close to our city centre," he said.
"Tramore Valley Park available is not a facility I want to see lying idle any longer. As an advocate of the Healthy Cities Initiative, we need to take every opportunity to promote and facilitate healthy living and outdoor exercise on greenfield sites."
In 2015, a park run was staged at the park. The event was featured on Operation Transformation, prompting a surge in use. The event had to be cancelled due to fears over traffic access from the N40.
Mr Cahill wants to see events like this return to Cork city.
He said, "Tramore Valley is a vast facility that will hold many activity events like we saw with the park run. The park run movement is hugely successful is parts of Ireland and beyond and a brilliant example on this is on Bere Island in West Cork.
"If my fellow councillors support my proposal as a council we can offer a great facility to communities, resident sports clubs while also making a difference to the healthy wellbeing of the people of Cork."
Cork City Council will finalise its budget for 2018 over the coming weeks, with elected members voting on it in early November.

ITW Food Equipment Group (a division of Illinois Tool Works) and its family of premium brands including Hobart, Baxter, Traulsen, Vulcan, Wolf and Berkel to name a few, will for the first time join together to highlight their breadth of offering within an all-new ITW Kitchen Experience at The NAFEM Show 2017.

“We’re excited to not only introduce new products at The NAFEM Show this year, but also to present the all-new ITW Kitchen Experience, which allows foodservice professionals to observe the breadth of our offering across our family of premium brands and product categories, all in a kitchen environment,” said Todd Blair, Director of Marketing for Hobart Food Equipment Group. “It’s an opportunity for us to share with our customers our ability to provide greater value at a lower total cost of ownership by being a single source for high-performance, energy efficient equipment as well as installation and maintenance.”
Offering a full line of food preparation equipment that meets the demands of modern kitchens, Hobart will display its new EDGE 13 slicer and award-winning mixers at The NAFEM Show 2017, as well as its commercial food processors, tenderizer and cutter/mixer.

Baxter, the brand recognized for superior, durable baking and cooking equipment, is bringing the first ENERGY STAR certified rack oven to Orlando, along with the Baxter water meter, which offers highly precise control of water temperature within plus or minus 1 F and volume within a tolerance of plus or minus 1 percent.
Vulcan, the brand chefs and operators look to for top-quality, energy efficient cooking products, will feature convection ovens, combination ovens, ranges and fryers at NAFEM 2017, as well as a new griddle that will help enable kitchens produce nearly 10 percent more pounds of food per hour than competing griddles.
The latest in commercial kitchen ventilation and food waste reduction will be featured at booths #1655 and #1864. Gaylord, known for revolutionizing commercial kitchen ventilation, will bring its most advanced hood ventilation systems to Orlando, as well as its utility distribution system.

“We’re excited to introduce our new products, unveil the all-new ITW Kitchen Experience and discuss some of the changes that are affecting our industry,” Blair said. “The NAFEM Show has always provided a great opportunity to share ideas and experiences with our friends and colleagues in the foodservice and food retail space.

Moscow is the second most expensive city in the world. As a Rosbalt correspondent was informed by the press office of the Moscow administration yesterday, this was confirmed by the English company Mercer Human Resource Consulting during the course of their research. Moscow's position in the list is based on the cost of living for foreigners or people used to a western lifestyle.
Only Tokyo is more expensive. Third place went to Osaka while fourth and fifth came Jiulong and Peking respectively. Other cities in the top ten were Geneva, London, Seoul, Zurich and New York. The cheapest city in the world according to Mercer Human Resource Consulting is Asuncion (Paraguay).

Will Artificial Intelligence take away our jobs?
Lately, many of us have heard about Artificial Intelligence (AI), about how much it has changed our lives, but at the same time, there have been many rumors that AI will take away all of our jobs. Well, the panic based on the notion that artificial intelligence will kill jobs in the future might be … artificial.
It is true that, at this moment, AI is displacing some jobs but it’s not going to take away jobs. It will more likely change what human workers do.
Let’s take a look at history, from the start of human civilization up until the industrial revolution when most of the people still worked in agriculture. Nowadays, those engaged directly in agriculture are in a very small percentage, in most parts of the world. This is thanks to technology, which does a large part of the work that farmers had to do.
You may be wondering why we don't see farmers who have lost their jobs, while being upset about technology. Thanks to the effects and evolution of technology, these people can become something else, like pilots, computer engineers or writers.
It’s obvious that AI collaborating with humans is already happening. The Harvard Business Review completed research involving 1,500 businesses which revealed companies benefit the most when humans and machines are working together. Humans have certain characteristics machines cannot take on, and vice versa. A simple example is a person making a joke as a response to what someone has said, a natural process for a human being, but difficult for a machine to comprehend. While processing thousands of gigabytes of data is easy for a machine to do, but virtually impossible for a human.
New technologies such as Artificial Intelligence have the sole purpose of automating the various processes and meanwhile, coming up with new and creative innovations to translate this capable potential of AI into a useful one. There have been numerous products launched by the various start-up businesses around the world to demonstrate the power associated with AI, latest being the ‘self-driven cars’. It would be interesting to watch how technology takes over humanity in a jobless society where the currency is machine-generated and intelligent machine agents will replace our existence.
Concluding, we should all agree that machines will not take over our jobs, but they will likely remake them in wonderful and surprising ways.


Winter News from the Vineyard
The last of the winter chores were done after harvest, to put the vineyard to bed for the winter. The bird netting and shade cloth used for last harvest’s protection have been rolled up, marked with the row number, and put into the barn for storage until next summer. Compost has been shoveled onto the base of each vine and straw spread across the vine rows to prevent any erosion during the winter rains.
With over 25 inches of rain this season already recorded as of March, (agricultural rain seasons in CA go from October – May), we are feeling very comfortable with the amount of water available to the newly budding vines and future access for growth in the spring and summer. There has been steady rainfall since December, in both gushing Pineapple Expresses coming from a warm Pacific storm, and cooler, constant Arctic drizzle for weeks adding slowly to the water table…. and the season still has 3 months of possible rain to continue! We have had many drought seasons where we struggled to receive only 15 inches, so this abundance is comforting.
Vineyards go dormant after their harvest and beautiful fall display of colorful leaves, and don’t bud out for the following vintage until the soil and air temperatures warm, usually about the end of March. But there is a fine line when the vines should be pruned, not wanting to cut them back too soon in the year which might encourage budding out at the slightest warmth, which may be followed by a devastating frost which could kill the buds and severely limit the crop. On the other hand, vineyard crews need to pace their activities based on the numbers of acres/ranches they must prune before the entire valley buds out! While frost is still an issue for many vineyards, especially on low spots on the valley floor or at higher, chilly altitudes on Howell Mountain, needing wind machines or rain birds to detour the cold air, our vineyard has always received a lovely breeze from the Chalk Hill gap in the north that warms the night air and keeps the frost from settling on and possibly damaging our vines. (knock on wood!)
But with some of the bigger storms came massive winds and further moisture, which toppled many of the trees whose roots were already saturated. The access gate blew open and lost many supports, requiring both the electrician and gate installer to repair it. Many of the fire-damaged trees just snapped 20 feet from the ground! Several Douglas Firs landed right on the corner of the upper vineyard, while other trees and branches blew over onto the fencing. Three very dedicated vineyard guys worked almost a week to clean it all up, with chainsaws, shovels and pruning shears, to repair the vines and structures, end posts and wires in the vineyard and fencing along two sides of the vineyard.
We received and planted more wildflower seeds from the Monarch and More Butterfly program, which were spread along the vine rows and surrounding hillside and covered with straw in the fall. We also received several dozen additional native plants from another Napa RCD grant and planted them adjacent to the others we had received from Xerces to expand our pollinator landscaping. Even yummy Miner’s lettuce has continued to grow in patches of moist soil. Several of the original natives, planted in 2022, as well thousands of the Calendula and CA poppy seeds, have spread throughout the vineyard and continue to bloom and feed bumblebees, bugs and hummingbirds throughout the winter, and we couldn’t be happier for helping to bring back the natives!

We should be ashamed
Re: Feb. 8 article "Cuts looming for Texans in need."
What kind of people have we become that we consider balancing the state budget over the backs of the catastrophically handicapped and ill, such as Joseph Getschow? What happened to the old Texas ideals of chivalry and strength, coupled with compassion?
Re: Feb. 5 article "Officials delay enacting rule designed to catch gunrunners."
I can only conclude that gun makers and the National Rifle Association don't care that people are being killed by the thousands in Mexico. Of course, the gun makers are out for the bucks, but surely the NRA is made up of patriotic Americans who care about life.
How can anyone have an objection to stopping gun shopping or to buying objects that allow you to fire up to 30 bullets from a handgun? I haven't seen or heard any congruent arguments in favor of this.
What is going on in our country? Don't people care about each other any more? And of whom are our officials afraid? Voters? Lobbyists? Far out groups?
Let's stand up and do what we can to stop this war on our doorstep.
Mexico brings the juice
Texans should thank Mexico, because without Mexico's assistance, the rolling blackouts we suffered would have been much worse than they were. Beginning at noon Feb. 2, Mexico supplied massive amounts of power to Texas' electric grid. Power was sent across the Rio Grande at Piedras Negras, Nuevo Laredo and Reynosa.
Crime was bad for business
Re: Feb. 6 article "High-stakes history."
Having visited Galveston from the late 1930s as a child with my parents, to the early '50s when I finished my education in Houston, I feel that a salient fact was omitted from this fine article. There was no crime! The Maceos would not permit it. Crime was bad for business.
The word was you could stick a $100 bill in your ear, tour any district at 2 a.m. and return at your leisure with ear and bill intact. This includes the meanest bars, serving mixed drinks, to the notorious Post Office Street, where the ladies of the evening were routinely inspected by a licensed physician. Any would-be violator of the "Maceo Code" would just disappear. You did not ask why or how this happened. That might be considered a crime.
It was a grand time; you should have been there.
Turning Austin into New York or Chicago
Re: Feb. 7 letters "Single-member districts."
One of the letter writers has the right idea when he questions why Mayor Lee Leffingwell refuses to pay attention to what the residents of Austin have said six times over the years. I was one of those who lived there and voted no several times.
Why would any politician want to have single-member districts? Look what it has done to the cities of the North and East, especially New York and Chicago. Is that what we want here in Austin?
I have a brother who lived and worked in Chicago, and he had to pay the politicians in order to obtain and hold the job he held before retiring. Is that what the mayor wants for Austin?
Charles Matheson Sr.
John Kelso went too far. On Jan. 25, he calls Gov. Rick Perry's inauguration statements "hot air." Perry was unrealistically optimistic. Complaining is so wrong it seems anti-American, yet Kelso continues on Feb. 7, expecting Perry to say in his state-of-the-state message " ... how well off we are, despite school closings, teacher layoffs ... "
Propaganda is a completely American activity, one that is a semi-official institution and has made America great. Propaganda was institutionalized during World War I, when Woodrow Wilson's committee developed techniques to persuade Americans to stop hating the war and to start wanting to join it.
Our superb and successful techniques were studied by Goebbels to use in Germany. Indeed, the U.S. is one of the most propagandized nations in the world, coming not very far behind North Korea and China.
Kelso, don't act un-American. Try to support the all-American institution of propaganda.
Re: Feb. 3 article "Feud over online KKK joke lingers."
It seems the political elite in Liberty Hill believe that a 91-year-old man is not worthy to breathe the same air as they. Indeed, Troy Joseph must feel like Joseph K. in a Kafka story, hounded and persecuted by some rat-faced pea brains in minor political posts.
Speaking of Pea brains
Oh the luxury it must have been to have been an on-field member of the Packers or Steelers at the Super Bowl. At least that way they were all able to be inside their locker rooms and not get subjected to the utter garbage that was supposed to be a halftime show.

The Sinai is famous for its beautiful, red rock mountains. Some even claim that these mountains, together with the mountains on the other side of the gulf in mainland Egypt, give the Red Sea its name. Just a few kilometers outside the town of St. Katherine, though, at the foot of these fabled red mountains, are rocks with a very different colour: a vivid shade of blue. Huge blue outcrops stand scattered across a vast, sloping plain once known as the Plain of Sened but often just called Jebel Millowin (the Colored Mountain) or the Blue Desert. They were painted blue by the Belgian artist Jean Verame in the 1980s to celebrate Egypt’s peace deal with Israel. Getting the go-ahead for the work was no easy task: Verame spent two years trying to get approval from authorities before President Mohammed Anwar Sadat intervened to give his personal permission.
With the Sadat’s seal of approval – plus 10 tons of paint supplied by the UN – Verame set out to make his dream of painting the Sinai blue a reality. He began the work in 1980 and finished the following year.
It’s one of several deserts that Verame has painted across the world.

For the second time in 20 years, Sesame Street tackles the tough topic of divorce. The first effort, in 1992, was never aired due to the segment not passing the viewing test. However, now the children’s iconic show has distributed a new divorce segment. This week, Sesame Workshop will debut the 13-minute segment online — part of a massive multimedia kit called Little Children, Big Challenges: Divorce, which includes a storybook (Two Hug Day), a guide for parents and an app.
With over 40% of marriages ending in divorce, and many happening in families of preschoolers, the show may be giving children and their parents tools to help deal with this emotional and confusing topic.

These are just gorgeous! I love them in the red and white, but I wouldnt limit them to just those colors. Since they have a sort of snowflake design in the center, these would be glorious in just about any complimentary color combination. I had to sit down immediately and make one up in purple and white for a special friend who decorates her tree with Chrismons every year. Be advised that youll have to download the pattern as its not directly at the above link.

Time to talk countour! Countouring was once the signature trade secret of makeup artists everywhere,but after what I like to call the Kim Kardashian movement, contour is now a household phrase. As you may or may not have noticed, Makeup Geek finally released their own line of contour powders! I was beyond excited because I am a sucker for contouring. I used MAC’s sculpting powders for years (unfortunately, they are only sold at MAC Pro stores or online) in the shades “Sculpt” and “Shadester”. I recently purchased the Makeup Geek shades “Infidelity” and “Bad Habit”. I show swatches comparing both and discuss which brushes I prefer for contour application!
I find that powder contours are quicker to apply and easier to blend, which is why I use them more frequently than liquid or cream contours for everyday use. Let me explain the difference between using a specific sculpting powder for contour versus using a bronzer.

Celebrating the big five 0h
Happy Holidays everyone!
Every December, the "birthday boys" -- Bill, Kris and I -- celebrate our birthdays. For me, it is the big five-0h. According to a recent Harris poll, it is [America's favorite age!] For some people, [fifty is the new thirty]!
From left to right: Melinda Jensen, Bill Terry, Lee Olguin, Kris Keller, Tony Pearson, and Kristy Knight.
The storage, cloud and analytics team celebrated with cake and party hats. None of us "birthday boys" eat chocolate, so this year we chose a new flavor: Strawberry Cream! It was delicious.
It was a good time to reflect on our success and accomplishments. In 2015, I helped close over $270 million USD in revenues for IBM, meaning that I helped close over a million [per day on the job].
The IT industry went through a lot of changes also. Hewlett-Packard [split into two smaller pieces]. Dell started [EMC's fade to non-existence]. Cisco and IBM joined forces to create VersaStack, a converged system that combines the most popular x86 servers with the industry's best storage.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Utilities Service Administrator Chad Rupe today announced that USDA is investing $135 million in 49 projects to improve rural water infrastructure in 24 states. This announcement includes $616,000 investment in Louisiana for improvements at water treatment facilities.
“Under the leadership of President Trump and Agriculture Secretary Perdue, USDA continues to partner with rural communities to address their current and long-term water needs,” Rupe said. “Modernizing water infrastructure will yield key health benefits and help spur economic growth – making rural places even more attractive to live and work.”
USDA is making the investments through the Water and Waste Disposal loan & grant program. Rural cities and towns, water districts and other eligible entities can use the funds for drinking water, stormwater drainage and waste disposal systems in rural communities with 10,000 or fewer residents.
Below are examples of projects announced today that show how USDA is partnering to improve rural water and wastewater infrastructure in Louisiana:
Alberta Water System will use a $347,000 loan for additional financing to construct a well, add activated carbon treatment systems at two booster stations, replace water meters, and add stand-by generators at both booster stations. This will mitigate disinfection by-products, improve efficiency of operations, and reduce water loss. The system serves 1,603 customers in Bienville Parish. Previous funding includes a $2,103,000 Rural Development loan and grant combination and the applicant contribution of $2,000.
Poland Water Association will use a $269,000 loan for additional funding in conjunction with an earlier Rural Development loan and grant totaling $1,229,000. The project includes construction of two new water wells, a chlorination facility, and installation of radio read meters. The office building will be brought into compliance with the Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standard. The booster station, which has been idle since September of 2008, will be brought into service by refurbishing the booster pumps and updating control facilities. The project will meet the daily demand of Poland's citizens as well as strengthen fire flow demand, and improve billing efficiency. The chlorination facility will decrease water loss due to reducing the frequent need to flush the system. Poland Water Association serves 909 people in Rapides Parish with 325 residential and 12 commercial customers.
USDA is announcing investments today in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, New Mexico, New York, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington and West Virginia.
USDA had $2.9 billion available for USDA Water and Environmental Program loans and grants at the beginning of fiscal year 2019. USDA will make additional funding announcements in coming weeks.
In April 2017, President Donald J. Trump established the Interagency Task Force on Agriculture and Rural Prosperity to identify legislative, regulatory and policy changes that could promote agriculture and prosperity in rural communities. In January 2018, Secretary Perdue presented the Task Force’s findings to President Trump. These findings included 31 recommendations to align the federal government with state, local and tribal governments to take advantage of opportunities that exist in rural America. Increasing investments in rural infrastructure is a key recommendation of the task force.
To view the report in its entirety, please view the Report to the President of the United States from the Task Force on Agriculture and Rural Prosperity (PDF, 5.4 MB). In addition, to view the categories of the recommendations, please view the Rural Prosperity infographic (PDF, 190 KB).
USDA Rural Development provides loans and grants to help expand economic opportunities and create jobs in rural areas. This assistance supports infrastructure improvements; business development; housing; community facilities such as schools, public safety and health care; and high-speed internet access in rural areas.

Premier Inn is to launch a £9m advertising campaign later this month highlighting its new identity, the budget hotel group announced today.
The Whitbread-owned hotel chain changed its name from Premier Travel Inn last October in a £22m rebranding exercise that is due to complete by the end of February.
Travelodge - it has recruited Lenny Henry to front a new advertising campaign spanning television, national press, online and outdoor posters.
Premier Inn claims the campaign, which will run throughout the year, marks the largest-ever media spend by a hotel brand in the UK.
Gerard Tempest, marketing director, said the choice of Henry to front the campaign followed extensive customer research.
"Customers like the celebrity approach," he told Caterersearch. "Henry really spoke to our brand - he is British, down-to-earth and warm."
The campaign was created by Premier Inn's newly appointed advertising agency, Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe /Y&R.

Ilford South MP slams 'unjust' national insurance hike
- Credit: Sam Tarry
The MP for Ilford South has condemned the government’s health and social care levy, which passed through Parliament yesterday.
It will see national insurance contributions rise from 12 per cent to 13.25pc, which Sam Tarry, a Labour MP for Ilford South, said would push many of his constituents further into poverty.
The government's proposals, which aim to fund £12bn for the NHS and social care, were passed by the House of Commons by 319 votes to 248.
Prime minister Boris Johnson defended the policy, claiming it was a “broad-based and progressive measure” and that the government was “taking the tough decisions that the country wants to see”.
Speaking in the chamber before the vote, Mr Tarry said: “The double whammy of a national insurance hike and a universal credit cut shows the complete disdain that the government have for the working population.
“A staggering 2.5million families across the country will be hit by this huge national insurance tax rise as well as the £20-a-week cut to universal credit.
You may also want to watch:
“In constituencies such as mine, which has people who are among the lowest paid in the country, this devastating news will mean that in many cases, people will be pushed further below the poverty line."
The tax will be introduced from April 2022 as a rise in national insurance - paid both by employers and workers - before becoming a separate tax on earned income from 2023.

Mr Tarry, who voted against the proposals, said: “What am I supposed to say to the people in my constituency - the public sector workers - who have been hit by wave after wave of pay freezes, and now the government want to hit them again with a national insurance increase?”
He argued that more progressive measures, such as wealth taxes, should be considered, but that the Conservative Party “simply cannot countenance taxing their own”.
He added: “The plan is unjust and badly timed, and it will not fix the social care crisis.”

Identification of the transcription factors and (epi)genetic elements that control the vitamin C content in apple fruits.
The saying ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’ accurately summarises that apples are full of healthy compounds. Vitamin C is one of them and it is particularly interesting because it acts both as a vitamin and as an antioxidant. Studies carried out at the Laboratory for Fruit Breeding and Biotechnology have shown that the vitamin C concentration of apple fruits can vary up to 10-fold between cultivars. Since vitamin C is not only crucial for human nutrition, but can also improve the storability of apples, our research aims to discover the main factors that regulate its concentration. We will carry out a screening to select apple cultivars with extremely high and low vitamin C amounts out of 100 different cultivars. The vitamin C content of these genotypes will be measured during fruit development and storage. An RNA-sequencing analysis will then reveal which transcripts are differentially expressed between genotypes and time points with a different amount of vitamin C. This information will be used i) to identify master (upstream) regulators of the vitamin C metabolism ii) to find genetic variants that are tightly linked to the differences in vitamin C content and iii) to identify genes whose transcription is possibly affected by DNA methylation or other epigenetic forms. An epigenetics study of selected promoters will complete the picture of the vitamin C metabolism by showing which DNA properties apart from the nucleotide sequence are key for the vitamin C content.


On a clear July morning three years ago, dozens of environmental activists pushed their kayaks into the Willamette River in Portland while others rappelled 400 feet from the top of St. Johns Bridge in an attempt to block a Shell Oil ship and its drilling equipment from leaving the port and entering Alaskan waters.
A key piece of Shell’s arctic drilling fleet, the vessel had arrived in Portland for repairs but its departure was delayed by protesters chanting “coal, oil, gas, none shall pass!” during two days of civil disobedience that became known as Summer Heat.
By the time the vessel finally sailed, the stage had been set for what would be a yearlong battle, culminating in an ordinance that banned construction and expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure in the city.
Last month, the Oregon Court of Appeals upheld Portland’s ban as constitutional, affirming the city’s power to regulate the safety and welfare of its residents and sending a powerful signal to cities that they too can take the lead to limit fossil fuel use.
And while the court ruling could set precedent for similar climate action elsewhere, how Portland passed the nation’s first fossil fuel infrastructure ban holds important lessons for how other communities can use grassroots activism to implement the renewable energy transition in their cities.
“The Oregon Court of Appeals decision basically says that ‘yes, local communities do have the right to restrict against fossil fuels and the risk that they bare,’” says Mia Reback, who helped organize Summer Heat and is development coordinator at the Portland chapter of a global climate action group, 350PDX.
In the fourteen months since the Portland ban was imposed, elected officials across three U.S. states—Idaho, California, and Washington – have publicly committed to creating similar climate action in their communities.
In part because of the road map Portland’s provided, city- and state-level actions opposing the fossil fuel industry are gaining momentum across the country. But it took Portland a while to find its own way.
Seeing value in the Pacific Northwest for its geographical proximity to Asian energy markets, oil and gas companies were planning expansion of offshore oil and gas operations in ways that threatened the atmosphere with carbon dioxide emissions.
“In the public consciousness, we started to message that ‘all fossil fuels are bad.’”
In fact, a Sightline Institute study in 2014 showed that the number of proposals for new and expanded terminals and pipelines in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia had the combined potential for releasing five times the level of climate-warming carbons as the Keystone XL pipeline.
And for Portland, construction seemed inevitable because the Port of Portland could enter most agreements directly with the oil industry without having to hold public hearings. That left local climate activists stuck in perpetual crisis-response mode each time a lease permitting Arctic drilling was issued. Civil disobedience and direct action seemed the only avenue to slow the industry, Reback said.
“In the public consciousness, we started to message that ‘all fossil fuels are bad, and that it’s not a debate between coal and gas, and it’s really a debate between fossil fuels and renewable energy,’” she said.
In 2014, some 5,000 people in Portland participated in the People’s Climate March, a global event that drew nearly 1 million people onto the streets in cities around the world. In Portland, retired teachers, churchgoers and students later came together to form the Climate Action Coalition to continue to build on the momentum at a grassroots level.
They straddled tracks to block the passage of oil trains in Vancouver, Washington, where 21 people, dubbed the Vancouver 21, were arrested. But their involvement in ‘kayaktivism’ which created a human blockade of the Willamette River that day in 2015 was one of their boldest moves.
Bonnie McKinlay, 67, is a coalition member and a longtime climate justice activist who participated in the Keystone XL pipeline protest in front of the White House in 2011.
“In the 70s we fought nuclear power plant proposals,” McKinlay said. Older generations “have been engaged in labor issues forever, civil rights, and women rights issues through the decades – we bring a lot of those organizing skills to the fore.”
“Us older folks can bring what we’ve learned and has been a part of our careers, lives, and political lives.”
But the industry has gotten more powerful and technology through social media has changed a lot about how groups build movements and organize against social ills. McKinlay calls the work of climate organizing “a two-way learning street.”
“Us older folks can bring what we’ve learned and has been a part of our careers, lives, and political lives to these new campaigns,” McKinlay says. “There’s been a tremendous amount of sharing.”
A rare moment that fostered community between generations, young and old, happened in July 2015 when Portlanders in the climate movement gathered for storytelling night. “We had this amazing spread of stories shared that night that really brought into the room so much movement history,” said Reback.
But even as coalition members bonded, another oil project was under way. This time a Canadian company, the Pembina Pipeline Corp., proposed shipping 37,500 barrels of propane every day to the Port of Portland on the Columbia River. The propane would arrive via oil trains across sensitive environmental areas between Portland and Pembina’s Redwater facility in Canada, northeast of Edmonton, Alberta.
Coalition organizers knew a propane terminal this large warranted a big response. Media reports had been showing the worsening impact of fossil fuels on both the climate and health of people in the Pacific Northwest.
A 2014 Oregonian report showed that 25 percent of Portlanders reside in what it called the “blast zone,” along rail lines where train cars carrying propane would present irrevocable damage if it were to explode or spill. Oregon’s emergency planners, the report noted, were insufficiently prepared to clean a spill or respond to an explosion.
“Fossil fuels do not belong in our society and we would transition off of them.”
“Some of the people most impacted by (this) are living in rural and conservative areas… it’s threatening the fundamental livability of this planet,” Reback said.
So the coalition fine-tuned its message to shift the debate from liberal versus conservative to focus on the health and safety dangers the oil industry posed to everyone.
And then they found a breakthrough. Pembina inadvertently opened up the public hearing process after it requested a small modification to land use and zoning regulations, necessary for just 300 feet of pipe. But that small opening gave the public its first chance to launch a fiery referendum on the entire project.
The coalition packed subsequent city council hearings. Holding signs that read, “Cities Lead,” they moved aggressively to cement their deep concern for the climate into local law.
And in May 2015, eight months after he came out in support of Pembina, Portland’s then-mayor, Charlie Hales, cited more than 3,000 public comments in denying the company’s land-use request. In withdrawing his support for the entire project, Hales called it “a real referendum on our commitment” to addressing climate change.
The coalition’s vigilance led the city of Portland to pass the zoning code amendments that the Oregon Court of Appeals recently upheld. The amendments, contained in a city ordinance, ban the expansion of existing fossil-fuel terminals and significantly limits the size of new terminals in the city of Portland.
A resolution, which wasn’t challenged in court and passed in September 2015, requires the city of Portland to divest local government money from Chevron, Exxon Mobil, and 200 of the largest fossil fuel companies on the city’s ‘Do Not Buy’ list.
“We sent the message, very loudly and clearly that we were tired playing whack-a-mole,” Reback said. “We were done fighting these individual fossil fuel terminal projects, and we’re ready to find creative solutions that once and for all settle the question that fossil fuels do not belong in our society and we would transition off of them.”

Today I am excited to share some thoughts on a favorite classic of mine, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. This is a classic classic—the pinnacle of the time and the author. It is so well known and so beloved. And for so many worthwhile reasons!
First published in 1813, Pride and Prejudice has been in print ever since, selling millions of copies world wide. It is also one of the most adapted novels of all time. There are so many adaptations worth talking about that I may need to write an adaptations post to do them all justice. I think what makes Pride and Prejudice so popular is the timeless nature of the themes and characters. Austen brilliantly illustrates family drama, relationships between people of different social classes, love stories, the danger of holding to first impressions, and the power of redemption.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is the story of a family of five sisters who laugh, make mistakes, take care of each other, and fall in love. Goodreads summarizes, “One of the most beloved books of all time, Pride and Prejudice-Jane Austen’s most popular book- has been resonating with readers since it was first published in 1813 and has been adapated many times for television, movies, and books. When headstrong and independent Elizabeth Bennet, one of five sisters, is required to find a wealthy husband, her encounter with the arrogant Mr. Darcy leads to one of the most entertaining and satisfying courtships ever imagined. Beyond the romance, Pride and Prejudice is a book full of humor and wit that is also a commentary on upper-class social manners at the turn of the nineteenth century.”
My first experience with this story was watching the 6 hour BBC adaptation with Colin Firth with my grandma; and that movie continues to be special to me. I love that movie! I remember when we got it for Christmas one year and stayed up super late Christmas night to finish it. I also watched it with my mom when I was recovering from the birth of my first child. I love the beautiful acting and how true to the novel they made this adaptation–so much of the dialogue is straight from the novel. This continues to be a favorite of mine. However, I didn’t first read the novel until my senior year of high school when it was assigned summer reading for my AP Literature course. I remember loving it.
Why do I love this novel? There are so many reasons.
First, the beautiful language feeds my soul. There is just something about the way Austen writes that captivates me. Like Kathleen Kelly, “I get lost in the language.” I love the way that a glance or a single word can change an evening or a relationship like when Darcy and Elizabeth share a look over the piano at Pemberley. Austen takes a relatively small group of people and gives us the details of their rather normal lives. But because of her beautiful language, the story is engaging and charming.
Second, I love the differing flat and complex characters. Like many girls, I idolized (still do really) Elizabeth Bennett. I like to think I am like her in some ways. I love that she is a strong, independent woman who is loyal and loving. But perhaps even more so, I love that she misjudges Darcy and rebuilds their relationship. I love the way Darcy fights against and then fights for Elizabeth. I also love Elizabeth’s Aunt and Uncle Gardner. Their experiences at Pemberley are a favorite sequence of mine. I love contrast between Elizabeth’s parents–the ridiculous way Mrs. Bennett’s nerves overcome her and the ironic, bookish way her father interacts with his family. I laugh at Jane’s determination to think the best of everyone and at the ridiculous nature of Mr Collins proposal to Lizzie. I roll my eyes at Lydia’s naive and love sick ways and cringe as we learn more about Mr Wickham’s true character. All of these characters are memorable, but they are also so different. We know people just like them; people who are proud, brownnosers, kind people, silly people, wise and foolish. It is these relatable characters that make Austen’s story so easy to connect with.
And of course, I adore the beautiful love stories in this novel (and enjoy the stark contrasts in marriages). Darcy and Elizabeth are two of the most classic lovers in all of literature. I love their journey to love. They both make mistakes and they both learn to see each other for their true selves. I appreciate the simple, intense love shared between Bingley and Jane, two people who have no equals for kindness and generosity in this novel or elsewhere. I think the proposals in this novel are great fun ranging from the ridiculous to the arrogant to the sincere. Additionally, I appreciate the contrasts between marriages in this novel. We have Darcy and Elizabeth & Bingley and Jane who are perfectly suited for each other and happy. Then we have Charlotte Lucas (who wants only her own home rather than love in marraige) and Mr Collins. And, of course, Wickham and Lydia who are ill fit for each other and for marriage in general. Austen once again gives us compelling and wise commentary on the importance of choosing our best match.
On this reread, I was struck by the compelling themes in this novel. This is a love story. But it is also a story of agency, redemption, forgiveness, and family. Nearly every character in this novel changes from the start to the end of the novel. Yes, Mrs Bennett may always be rather ridiculous and I don’t think Lydia is really that different. But most others are. Some are obvious, like Elizabeth and Darcy. But others are more subtle like Mr Bennett who comes to understand his role as a father a little better or Kitty who is able to find a better path than Lydia. Or even Lady Catherine de Bourgh who must come to terms with the fact that she cannot force the choices of everyone she knows. If I was going to write a graduate thesis or a term paper on Pride and Prejudice, I think I would focus on the ways some of the minor characters (Kitty, Mr Bennett, Mrs Gardner, etc) seek forgiveness and how that forgiveness builds their character.
Why should you read this novel?
If for some reason, you haven’t already read this novel, I highly recommend it! Here are a few reasons why I hope you’ll consider it:
- You probably know or at least have been exposed to the story so it is easy to follow.
- I think it’s the most accessible of Austen’s novels. The plot is fairly fast paced and the language is easy to understand.
- It’s a beautiful love story

[SHOT 2023] Mean Arms Bearing Delayed 9mm Carbine
By Austin R
At SHOT 2023’s Industry Day at the Range, Mean Arms unveiled their new Bearing Delayed 9mm carbine. This new design uses their existing endomags in conjunction with a standard pattern AR-15 lower. A set of three ball bearings (rather than rollers) are used in order to create a more tuneable delayed blowback firearm. I had […]

From the Aspen Daily News (Nelson Harvey):
It seems obvious…that making agriculture more efficient is a surefire way to preserve Colorado’s dwindling water supply. And yet, state water law often encourages farmers and ranchers to use as much water as they legally can, just to keep their water rights intact.
This summer, Democratic state Sen. Gail Schwartz of Snowmass Village plans to draft legislation that will remove the usage incentive from the law. Her bill would allow Western Slope irrigators who adopt more efficient watering systems to get credit for the water they save. Schwartz is chairing the Water Resources Review Committee, a state body made up of lawmakers who meet every summer to draft legislation on water issues. Several Roaring Fork Valley water lawyers, ranchers and activists also participate. The group will hold eight meetings throughout the summer, beginning July 17 in Gunnison, and Schwartz said she plans to reintroduce an irrigation efficiency measure that was stripped from a bill she carried, partly because of opposition from Front Range water interests, during the 2013 legislative session.
When an irrigator makes improvements to their water delivery system by replacing flood irrigation with sprinkler irrigation, improving a head gate or piping a ditch, for instance, they wind up diverting less water from a river, Schwartz explained.
Under Colorado’s “use it or lose it” water law, an irrigator who isn’t diverting the maximum amount of water that their right allows is at risk of losing some of it when they go to court to change its use or sell it. In court, judges examine a water right owner’s “historic consumptive use,” the amount that’s put to work irrigating crops. If that historic use is less than what a water right allows, a judge can strip the unused water from its owner and put it up for sale.
People sometimes go to extraordinary lengths to avoid this fate: Bill Fales of Cold Mountain Ranch, south of Carbondale, said some ranchers in Colorado install sprinkler systems but leave their flood irrigation systems in place as well, to allow for the possibility of boosting their water use on short notice to preserve their rights.

Manny Pacquiao expressed interest on Friday in fighting in the Olympics but Bob Arum said it made no sense to allow pros against amateurs because of the risks.
Bob Arum expressed his political views during a recent media workout for the Pacquiao-Bradley PPV undercard but the boxers were firmly focused on their fights.
Promoter Bob Arum said Los Angeles has risen as the favorite to host Postol-Crawford while he’s still working to firm up Lomachenko-Walters in NYC on June 11.
Fresh off a title-winning effort over Sadam Ali last weekend, welterweight Jessie Vargas wants a rematch with Tim Bradley.
Could Manny Pacquiao’s recent anti-gay comments hit a lot closer to home for the former eight-division titlist?
Antonio Margarito’s first fight in more than four years could lead to a future fight on PPV at AT&T Stadium in Texas, says promoter Bob Arum.
First Bob Arum said he was willing to work with Showtime. Now he says he could work with Al Haymon.
Bob Arum is looking to make a doubleheader in April with Viktor Postol possibly facing Adrian Granados in the co-feature.
Frustrated that HBO hasn’t provided him with a date for a proposed doubleheader, Top Rank Promotions CEO Bob Arum is in talks with rival Showtime.
Juan Manuel Marquez is finally healthy and ready to return this summer. And if all goes well he could soon be facing a young lion in Terence Crawford, according to Bob Arum.
Manny Pacquiao’s longtime promoter, Bob Arum, admits he doesn’t know how the fighter’s controversial anti-gay comments will affect the upcoming fight with Tim Bradley.
In a BBC interview Floyd Mayweather Jr. claimed he’s been offered ‘nine figures’ to return but said there are no plans to do so — “as of right now.”
British welterweight star Amir Khan has long been clamoring for a showdown with Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao but appears to be out of luck.
Veteran promoter Bob Arum says the upcoming Tim Bradley- Manny Pacquiao bout in April shouldn’t be considered ‘Pacquiao-Bradley III.’
Tim Bradley, new trainer Teddy Atlas and Bob Arum spoke to RingTV after the Beverly Hills press conference for the April 9 Manny Pacquiao-Bradley rubber match.

I’ve always loved words. I suppose it was because I was surrounded by them at an early age. Old and new books huddled together on the shelves in the living room, the colorful covers hugging so many magical words inside. Scientific American, National Geographic, and Reader’s Digest lay scattered on the coffee table, poised to deliver a dose of words at a moment’s notice. My mother’s handwriting filled pages of letters, lists and ledgers. My father stored boxes and boxes of clippings, articles, and his own notes written in his distinctive hand. More words, now audibly spoken, accented and flavored every meal, consumed more hungrily than the food. Words ask questions, deliver information, announce decisions, and express wonder. It is words that record, define, change, and inspire the world that they are loosened upon.
So, I am a word lover. I love to read words, write words, hear words, and think about words. I even enjoy the visual beauty of letters clinging together in words. It is not just what they say, but what they ARE in all their beauty, power, and potential.
I suppose that is why this mixed media piece, a Woman of Many Words, came to be. I used Citra Solv concentrated cleaner to dissolve the ink on National Geographic pages. I thought what emerged looked like trees. Trees made of dissolved words. Hmmm. A world made of words, the perfect world for that woman like me, a woman of many words. The background is made of dictionary pages, lightly painted over. The landscape is the work of more Citra Solv. On top I painted a woman, clutching her words, lines from book pages. One of them reads, “the perils of the literate” a subtle caution that there indeed lie dangers in this world of words.

The game starts at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time and can be seen on Spectrum SportsNet in the greater Los Angeles area and on NBA TV nationwide. A full preview can be seen here.
After stopping their four-game losing streak on Tuesday versus the Orlando Magic, the Lakers look to build some badly needed momentum against Miami. The Heat have won four of their last six games, but they’re just 17-17 a season after finishing first in the Eastern Conference and nearly reaching the NBA Finals.

Advice and prediction
Both teams will be short-handed, and the Heat, much like the Lakers, lack functional size in their frontcourt. Bam Adebayo and possibly Udonis Haslem are their only available true rotation players who are taller than 6-foot-8.
However, they have a high-level coach, Erik Spoelstra, who, of course, coached LeBron James for four seasons. As much as James may want to put on a show for his old fans at FTX Arena, Miami will likely find a way to win.
Prediction: Miami 114, Lakers 106

Innovations in mass spectrometry instrumentation over the last several decades have led to significant improvements in sensitivity, resolution, throughput, and ease-of-use. One of the major beneficiaries has been the clinical lab, where mass spectrometry-based methods have become the gold standard for quantitative analysis. Continued technological innovations in areas such as mass analyzers, ionization sources, associated techniques (i.e., chromatography, ion mobility, etc.), and informatics approaches serve to fuel the future of MS in the clinical lab. This Special Issue will highlight some of the newest advances in these categories, with a focus on how such advances might benefit the clinical lab in the near future.
This special issue will focus on the advancement of clinical mass spectrometry in China and Chinese speaking communities. MSACL Asia Outreach Committee aims to further collaborative development of new technologies and strengthen our involvement in Asia-Pacific region through sharing of expertise and educational activities. This Special Issue hopes to provide updates and insights into emerging application of mass spectrometry in the Asian context. Submissions from authors in China, as well as contributions from other countries concerning advances in mass spectrometry in Asia, are welcome.

Colgate crib mattresses are created from high quality textiles, high quality coils and other construction methods. Ranked as some of the highest quality crib mattresses with both parents and professionals, Colgate mattresses are a great option for parents seeking a high quality and durable option for the crib of the infant, and a mattress that is going to easily transition into a toddler bed for their child.
Innerspring crib mattresses are created with actual springs and coils within the mattress. Though there are many crib mattresses that are created with layers of textiles, springs and coils are going to ensure that the high quality mattress is going to remain durable from infancy until the time the toddler stage is reached, but also allows the parent to use the mattress with multiple children.
All mattresses that are created in the Colgate brand are Greenguard certified, which means that there are no toxins and other adverse chemicals that are going to affect the development of infants and children that are sleeping on the mattresses.
These mattresses are used in both educational facilities and also through many hospitals. This way, parents that are making the choice of a Colgate mattress for their home can ensure that they are getting the highest quality crib mattress available, ensuring the highest level of safety for the child sleeping on the mattress.
There are many styles and types of mattresses that are available through the brand and parents can choose types of mattresses that are going to suit the needs, the style of crib that has been chosen and even the durability that they would like to create.
Choosing a durable mattress that will easily wipe clean can help to increase the durability of the mattress, as children are bound to spit up and toddlers are bound to have accidents in the bed.
Taking these aspects into account, parents that choose a durable mattress that is created from a textile that is going to wick the moisture away from the surface is going to ensure that the crib is going to outlast other brands that are unprotected.

|This is a Great c.d. A little more mature than the others,but still way cool!!

|A brillian speed metal album. Many pissed and moaned about how it wasn't "thrash" anymore, but regardless, this was a solid album. From the fast and heavy to the more somber moments like "Room With a View", the whole album is quite good.

|Si que es un gran disco. Diferente a sus dos obras maestras, pero éste está tambien muy bueno. Realmente sorprendieron a medio mundo con el cambio de estilo. Con "Seemingly Endless Time" siguen las directrizes de su etapa anterior, pero con "Stop" ya te das cuenta que Death Angel siguieron por otro camino, Mas abierto a cosas nuevas. Realmente un disco que lo disfruté en su momento en k-sett y que ahora lo tengo en CD. Gran disco. 9/10
