South Coast Funerals are a family owned business located on the South Coast of South Australia. They needed a new brand that reflected the compassion, care and dignity that they offer those who have lost loved ones.
As I designed this brand I wanted to convey the feeling of peace that someone might have as they sit on the beach remembering their loved one, being comforted by the breeze in the dune grass and the sound of the sea. The beach, a prominent feature of the South Coast, is a place you can clear your thoughts and find hope for the future.
The gently swaying dune grass in the logo creates a forward motion, whilst the circle, represent the ‘circle’ or ‘completion’ of life. ‘Funeral’ has been rendered in an old typeface to give the feeling of an ‘established’ and ‘trusted’ friend, with the hand written script of ‘South coast’ adding warmth and friendliness to the logo.

FOR THE FIRST HALF OF OUR "FED UP!" SPLIT REVIEW, VISIT THIS LINK!
"iBomb"! Beginning with a slower introduction with low spoken word vocals by Mike, the fury soon kicks in for fans of Destroilet's hardcore punk intensity, with a drum-driven attack, nice bass laid in from Adam, and a solid (if brief) guitar solo from John, but Mike's vocals are a little too monotonous compared to the song's energy. It's on pace with Destroilet's prior originals though, if not a bit more technical and diverse in it's competition, so fans will get the best of both worlds here! Second is "Lifer", a shorter song that begins with call and response vocals from Mike and backing vocals before fully launching into the song proper, which doesn't reinvent the wheel from Destroilet's working formula, but it makes good use of Mike's vocals, has a longer guitar solo section (albeit laid under verses), and a hard hitting, consistent pace! I do slightly prefer it to "iBomb" for it's intensity, but Destroilet are on form so far!
The third & final new original song is "Bamberg Witch Prison", inspired by real life German witch trials in the 17th century. Opening with a very heavy and crushing guitar riff before launching into the fastest and most brutal passages yet, Mike's vocals have never been more ferocious than on the verses, though the low spoken-word portion of the choruses is too much of a mood shift. The backing vocals from Johnny Belanger & Mike Denisch are effective as background effects as well. It definitely seemed to end too quickly, and I missed having a guitar solo, but everyone delivered well on this song, another promising entry in Destroilet's recent repertoire! The next two songs are both re-releases of older recordings, not unlike the two old originals from The Ripcordz' third of the split. Those tracks are "R.O.Y.C." and "Eternal Fire", both holdovers from Destroilet's self-titled 2012 CD, not unlike how they re-issued their 2011 EP in full as half of their second disc.
this link), but I found that "R.O.Y.C." was a solid heavier song that didn't benefit from the lower and harsher vocals, and "Eternal Fire" worked as more of a punk-influenced song with great bass, but also had inconsistency in the used vocal styles. Both were and still are entertaining tracks for Destroilet fans! The "Fed Up!" split closes with a cover of Vancouver punk band The Rebel Spell's 2011 song "Murderers", with the album proper dedicated in the memory of late Rebel Spell frontman Todd "Serious" Jenkins. Similar in structure to the original but given more of a hardcore edge, the song makes good use of Johnny, Greg, and Joni's backing vocals on the choruses, while everyone shows their punk side of things nicely, including quality guitar work from John and Chris! You can sense the emotion on this cover too (Destroilet opened for The Rebel Spell locally and were big fans of theirs), and it's a fitting close to this split album!
Overall, Destroilet's third of the split is a very good continuation of their past releases, slowly growing their sound with more technical and diverse influences while still retaining the old-school hardcore fury that has driven them since the late 2000s, with "Lifer" and "Bamberg Witch Prison" clear highlights! While Mike's vocals could be a little more diverse, and the mix of some songs could be a little smoother, Destroilet have a good formula and shouldn't break from it, and fans of The Rebel Spell should definitely eat up their "Murderers" cover as well!
Considering that fans essentially got a new Ripcordz EP, Jack Spades' sophomore CD, and Destroilet's third release all in one for $10, that's quite a good deal, and it'd be interesting to see more split albums of this quality, involving the same bands or not, in the future! Contact band members to get your copies A.S.A.P., and stay tuned for details on online and possible in-store availability! I hope you guys liked our (extended) latest CD review, and in all likelihood, we'll be looking at local grunge/hardcore duo Bad Back's first full length album "ALbums", which came out in September, so look for that next month, and stay tuned for more news and previews in the coming days! Thanks everyone!

The Ghost story I am about to relate took place in 1893,
in the month of October to be precise. It concerned a
Mrs. Goodeve of London who whilst visiting friends in
the West Country was visited one night by a spectre.
This ghostly apparition told Mrs. Goodeve that he was
Henry Barnard and had lived and was now buried in the
village of Snettisham in Norfolk. He wished for Mrs.
Goodeve to carry out a task for him.
The undertaking to be that she should go to the church
of St. Mary in Snettisham and wait by the grave of a
Robert Cobb for further instructions. Mrs Goodeve,
obviously not of a nervous disposition, decided to
accede to Henry Barnard's 'from the grave' wishes. When
she returned to London she made arrangements to travel
to Snettisham in Norfolk, though she had not visited
this part of the country before.
At the church of St. Mary's she
arranged with the parish clerk a John Bishop to be
admitted to the church at 1.00am in the morning and to
be locked in the church for half an hour. This, the
parish clerk agreed to do.
Locked in Mrs. Goodeve waited by the tomb of Robert Cobb
and it is said that she did indeed receive a message,
which she was told to deliver to Barnards only surviving
daughter at Cobb Hall. What this message was or who
delivered it we do not know as Mrs. Goodeve refused to
tell, nor could Barnards daughter be drawn on the
subject. Though the parish clerk John Bishop who had
waited outside, confirmed that he had indeed heard
voices inside the church.
A curious tale, and one that is said to have been
investigated and authenticated by the Society for
Psychical Research. So, is there any truth in it?
Certainly inside the church of St. Mary's in the right
hand corner as you enter the church is indeed a tomb to
a Robert Cobb who died on May 15th 1743. Further
investigation in Kellys Directory for Parish Clerks for
that time, shows that the parish clerk for Snettisham
was a John Bishop.As for Cobb Hall? Well Snettisham Hall
was once called Cobb Hall after its original owner, who
was a Richard Cobb. You decide!

I’m usually not one to crave fried food. But every now and then, something greasy sounds good. I had some zucchini in the fridge that I needed to use up so I decided to try out some zucchini cakes. I don’t remember where I saw these the first time but they looked really good. Not knowing what I was getting into exactly, I was really surprised at how quick these came together. At first, I had my skillet on medium high heat, which was wayyyy too hot! If anyone likes their food extra crispy, you may want to use this temperature. So I switched pans, and started over. Medium heat was perfect. These definitely hit the spot without being too greasy! Thanks for stopping by!! Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful holiday weekend!! :)
- 1 large zucchini, grated
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp dill, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs
- salt and pepper
- olive oil
1. After grating zucchini, place in a kitchen towel and ring out excess liquid. This will help keep the cakes together while they are cooking. Place zucchini in a large bowl.
2. Add in bread crumbs, garlic, cheese, salt, and pepper and stir until combined. Add 1 egg at a time. Depending on how much zucchini you have, 1 egg might be enough. The mixture should be almost batter like. If needed, add additional egg.
3. Heat olive oil (enough to cover bottom of the skillet) to a medium heat. When the oil is hot enough, drop heaping tablespoonfuls of zucchini batter and press down slightly with a fork. After about 3-4 minutes, flip zucchini cakes over. They should have a nice golden brown crust on the bottom. Cook on the other side for about another 3-4 minutes. Place a paper towel on a plate and allow zucchini cakes to cool slightly before serving. I served mine with some sautéed portabella mushrooms and drizzled with a little bit of horseradish sauce.

This new Savoy volume was an exhausting task, 608pp with illustrations on nearly every page. The book is another study of Savoy’s long career as publishers with many digressions examining the various maverick and often unsavoury characters that have fuelled David Britton’s books and the wider Savoy corpus, from real and imagined fascists to pulp writers, movie cowboys, PJ Proby and sundry rock’n’rollers. It forms a loose trilogy with two earlier books, Robert Meadley’s A Tea Dance at Savoy and DM Mitchell’s A Serious Life.
For the design I wanted to avoid the obvious that the title would imply and play around with a different brand of totalitarian imagery, namely the iconography of Soviet Russia and its accompanying propaganda. We used Jonathan Barnbrook’s Newspeak font for all of the titles and headings, a great design that has the right look while still being contemporary. The cover and interior chapter spreads borrow elements of the Soviet style, with some nods towards the general Bauhaus and Art Deco designs of the 1920s and ’30s. It was an enjoyable project even if it did seem interminable at times.
2 thoughts on “New work for July”
Love the face and those laurle wreaths remind me of Julius Ceasar in Asterix. There’s a girl at work from Columbia who’s studying interior design and she was all excited to be learning about Bauhaus which she’d never heard of before.
Oh to be young and still have so much fresh knowledge to be acquired.
The wreaths (actually wheat, I believe) are from the Soviet Coat of Arms whose design I adapted somewhat:
The version on the book spine has the Savoy logo replacing the hammer and sickle.

PHIL'S PHILOSOPHY BY; D.P. KINKADE CONTRIBUTIONS BY; TAYLOR & DRAKE KINKADE
INAPPROPRIATE-There is a phrase that I am getting just a little bit weary of hearing. I just sort of ignored it the first few times I heard it, then it only mildly irritated me, as it seemed to persist and invade common usage but now I have heard it enough that it is beginning to really tick me off. That phrase is “ I am getting really tired of all this political correctness!” That's right, you read that correctly, I did not say I am getting tired of political correctness, I said I am getting tired of hearing people complain about it and I will explain exactly why. You see what we have termed “political correctness” is really just shorthand for a social effort and movement aimed at just not acting like a jerk to people different from us. It is just an organic campaign or venture in still respecting those with different backgrounds, cultures, customs, beliefs or ideas. Offering them dignity instead of, distrust, fear or ridicule. If we say we are “tired of political correctness” what we are really saying is that we want permission to act like a jerk or we remember a time when it was much more socially acceptable to act like a jerk toward those different from us and we long for those times back.
You see, part of the problem might have to do with the use of the word- political. Despite its name it is not really a political movement, it is a social one. Now, technically the root of the word politic actually means- how we order our society, so social issues and political ones are not really polar opposites as many believe . How we want our society to function, on the whole, is essentially a political concern, at its core. How a lot of us have come to view politics though is as an artful and deceitful manipulation of people, in order to advance certain ideologies. When you have that view of politics it is no wonder you distrust just about anything with the words political or politics attached to it at all and you certainly don't want any part of the rest of your life mixed up in the political process but if we view politics correctly, as a way of ennobling, enhancing and inspiring all of us, then politics intermingling as part of the whole fabric of your life does not seem so bad.
All of us have been in situations where talking about certain political ideas or bringing up certain topics at that particular time was just an inappropriate thing to do though. In fact there are numerous situations where things are just not appropriate for that time or place or with certain people. We can use inappropriate language in front of people which might be perfectly fine in more private situations but not in a crowd or we can dress inappropriately for an occasion where more decorum is expected by most people in a civilized society. We can have inappropriate actions toward others where more diplomacy or respect would have been the route to go for those with a bit of refinement. We can have inappropriate responses to the actions of others, either showing anger where none was needed or apathy when most would deem there is cause for concern. It seems pretty easy to be inappropriate or “politically incorrect” but it really isn't by following just a few simple guidelines and we will get to them in just a bit.
A while back now, part of our family had the chance to enjoy a program where the veterans of our community were honored. I am a peace loving guy but I believe our veterans have made the peace I enjoy possible to a large extent and I believe we should actively honor our veterans. My wife and I were there in a large part because our son was performing in some of the musical tribute but the whole program was thoroughly enjoyable and honored our veterans well, that is right up until the very end, when I believe an unscheduled and uninvited guest felt it necessary to show how patriotic he was by bashing a group of athletes who saw things differently than him and in his eyes were being disrespectful to something he valued deeply. Now it was not just that he used language that was inappropriate for the crowd there but the whole sentiment did a disservice to the occasion, because it took respect and dignity for those that see things differently out of the equation, thus rendering it one of the most unpatriotic things you could do, as well as being completely inappropriate.
I also recall a time where, like a lot of you reading this, I had the chance to participate in a delicious and bountiful meal. At this event I overheard a remark that was not really intended for me but it made my chest puff up just a bit when I heard it. My wife was saying something to our son about not liking his attitude. I don't know exactly what action had provoked such a remark but you know, teenage boys are not really known for their benevolent and altruistic natures. Anyway, I overheard our son say, “Well mom who do you think I get my attitude from, it's not Dad, he is the nicest guy I know!” Now in reality, I am not the nicest guy around, I have my fair share of faults and foibles but it was nice to hear my son say that among his circle of influences I ranked pretty high in his opinion. What he had probably meant to say instead of “nice” was, that I am pretty easygoing and soft-spoken in general. I tend not to get upset too easily, especially since events have transpired which focused me in on just how precious our time in this life really is. I do get upset though, I get upset at injustice, I get upset at bigotry, apathy, prejudice and callousness. I can get downright mean, if I feel you have mistreated one of my children. There are some guidelines I do actively try to follow though, which my son categorized as “nice”.
Here is my general outlook which helps me decide what actions I take, what words I speak and how I respond to situations. I don't always succeed but I try, here is what I deem to be appropriate or “politically correct.” If it adds dignity to the world, if it adds compassion, respect or honor; if it sparks inspiration or genuine curiosity; if it deepens wisdom; If it is ennobling, if it unites, if it helps bring about peace, then it is always the appropriate thing to say or do.
On the other hand, it is inappropriate or “politically incorrect,” if it adds hatred, dishonor, shame, worthlessness, humiliation, crudeness or inferiority. If it broadens division, if it uplifts ignorance; if it promotes callousness, mercilessness or intolerance, then that is always the inappropriate path to take. I don't think it is too much to ask for us to possibly act a little more appropriately as we go about life.

University of Miami Sells Endangered Forest Land to Developer with Strip Mall Plans
"One of the world’s rarest forests, a section of Miami-Dade County’s last intact tracts of endangered pine rockland, is getting a new resident: a Walmart," reports Jenny Staletovich.
"About 88 acres of rockland, a globally imperiled habitat containing a menagerie of plants, animals and insects found no place else, was sold this month by the University of Miami to a Palm Beach County developer. To secure permission for the 158,000-square-foot box store, plus an LA Fitness center, Chik-fil-A and Chili’s restaurants and about 900 apartments, the university and the developer, Ram, agreed to set aside 40 acres for a preserve."
"[The developer] Ram, which has built dozens of strip shopping centers and dense residential projects across Florida and the Southeast, chose the land at Coral Reef Drive and Southwest 127th Avenue because it provided a “unique chance to create . . . a place where people can easily walk from the neighborhood to shops and elsewhere,” CEO Casey Cummings said in a written response to questions."

Issue No. 01 - January (1975 vol. 8)
T.A. Pryor , University of Utah
The medical record is maintained for the express purpose of enabling the physician to deliver better care to the patient. But its usefulness in achieving that purpose has often been hampered by its inflation with voluminous, unorganized notes, and test results. The medical profession has begun to recognize this, and work has recently been done in reviewing the structure of the medical record with hopes of making improvements.<R>1</R> Based on what has been learned so far, it appears that the most effective record is one containing a broad data base including many investigative procedures, while at the same time focusing the physician's attention on problems or diagnoses derived from the data base.<R>2</R> These problems express only the essential information derived from the data base?that information which forms the basis for the treatment regimen.

- This just in March 17
One day after Crimea voted almost unanimously to break from Ukraine and join Russia in a referendum the West cast as illegitimate and potentially fraudulent, the White House on Monday announced new sanctions on Russian officials and their cohorts. The executive order accuses Moscow of trying to "undermine democratic processes and institutions in Ukraine" and authorizes the Treasury to target the financial assets of seven government officials as well as "any individual or entity that operates in the Russian arms industry" and anyone who "acts on behalf of, or that provides material or other support" to any senior Moscow officials.
The sanctions specifically name seven Russian officials as well as four others, including pro-Russia Crimean Prime Minister Sergei Aksyonov, and ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. Russian President Vladimir Putin is not cited by name, with the White House saying such a move would be "highly extraordinary." Still, in a conference call to discuss the sanctions, a White House official called them the "most comprehensive sanctions applied against Russia since the end of the Cold War."- -

Table of Contents
1 – Khao Soi – Lovely dish from Thailand
I swear I’m such a big Maggi fan but when I had Khao Soi, I forgot everything around me! I fell in love with it, slurped every single noodle from the plate. Sweet, sour, spicy, but smooth and crunchy; and not what. It contained all necessary ingredients that a perfect-textured single dish has. It can be found in Northern side of Thailand but it’s such a must try dish. The dish is made in broth of coconut curry with fresh veggies serving healthy part and chicken fulfilling protein diet. It’s well garnished with stir fried noodles at the top whereas gooey egg noodles at the bottom. So write down NORTHERN THAILAND, and do have Khao soi on your visit. You won’t resist it!
2– Chicken Curry – Saving your Money served at Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka, oh I miss you! Such a beautiful scenic place with so pleasing people, you must not ignore it. Pen down this place and its specialty of Chicken curry. Wondering why is it so special; although it is served in almost every country. The specialty is it is served with so many side dishes unlike every other country in which you order curry and steam rice. Whereas here when it comes you’ll see dhal curry, various spices and mango chutney well presented with steamed rice along with Chicken curry. So, now you have one more reason to travel to Sri Lanka!
3 – Boba Tea – Blended flavors from Taiwan
Are you a tea or coffee lover? Then write Boba tea in your ‘must try foods’ list. Such a heavenly flavored tea it is. I am craving for it now while writing this. It was huge, decadent and chocolaty containing Dark Tapioca pearls at the bottom.
4 – Pad Thai – Bangkok’s traditional dish
Who doesn’t love Pad Thai? Is that you? Sorry bro, we can’t be friends. Hehe just joking! Pad Thai is a traditional dish, and I always make it whenever I can’t think of any other dish to make. Last time, when I visited Bangkok I had this with my friends, and we simply loved it. It’s full of simplicity yet tasted so amazing. Want to dazzle up your taste buds then give this dish a MUST TRY whenever you happen to visit Bangkok. I’m sure you’re going to love it, every bit if it! No doubt, it’s really easy to make but when you are going to have it in Bangkok I’m sure it will change your point of view.
5- Vienna Schnitzel – National dish from Austria
If you’re a tourist then you must know about Schnitzel. It’s a national dish from Austria, and the Viennese style of it is made from cutlet of veal consists of a very thin layer, crumbed and pan fried. It’s such a heaven made dish and would surely say that it’s the best schnitzel I ever had in my whole life.
6 – Confit de Canard – Extraordinary dish from France
I LOVE FRANCE! From the romantic nature of French language, to the beauty of country, the villages, the lovable ambiance of France; aahh it’s AHmazing. If you’re looking for a place to visit, and unable to decide then pay visit to France. I promise, you’ll have there the best time of your life! My all favorite dish from France is Confit de Canard. It takes ages to prepare it. It’s cooked for hours to produce soft, moist and an incredible final taste. I’m such a big fan of this dish. You’ll also become, just give it a chance to prove! :p
7 – Trdelnik from Czech Republic
Calling all Nutella lovers! We love sweets and desserts but Trdelnik is such an incredible dessert which fulfills all the cravings of ice cream and cake at one time. Trdelnik is basically a chimney cake fashioned in a cone of delicious pastry and is filled with Nutella, strawberries and lots of whipped cream. Relatively inexpensive, this dessert can be easily found at any street of Czech. Just head over to any pastry shop, and there you have your very own Trdelnik. Visiting Eastern Europe, then never miss this spot of sweetness. Not a single thing beat this fabulous tasty thing, I swear.
8– Brussels Waffles or Belgian Waffles – from Belgium
I always heard from my Belgian friends that their Belgian waffles are seriously another level thing. I had just a day to spend in Brussels and I wanted to taste Belgian waffles since forever. I’d say I never had these so tasteful waffles. They were fluffy and crispy in the inside-out. I ate them only with sprinkled powdered sugar along with hot fudge. There was no need in felt for maple syrup. And yes, don’t get confused with Brussels; Belgian waffles were called Brussels waffles earlier back then.

TOPEKA, Kan., Nov. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ — Over the years, Kia models have becomes synonymous with superior style and performance. The release of the Kia Soul back in 2009, it proved the manufacturer was not only afraid to break the mold, but barriers as well. No vehicle like the Soul had ever been released at the time, but its success paved the way for other manufacturers who eventually attempted to mimic the iconic design. Kia has also shown that it doesn’t take out-of-the-box designs to achieve sophisticated style, and two of the manufacturer’s most popular models are evidence of that.
With more than 135,000 units sold so far this year, the 2014 Kia Optima continues to be the best-selling Kia vehicle available—and for good reason. Under the hood, the Optima is equipped with a 2.0-liter engine. However, despite its small capacity, the turbocharged engine is capable of producing a class-leading output of 274 horsepower. It also allows the sedan to achieve a highway fuel economy of 34 mpg. Consumers looking to maximize that efficiency and immerse themselves in the driving experience can opt for the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters which allow for quick, safe and efficient shifting.
Another one of the best-selling Kia vehicles currently available is the 2014 Kia Sorento. As the seven-passenger SUV takes a little extra power to move, a V-6 option is made available. Although the engine delivers a commanding 290-horsepower, it’s capable of a highway fuel economy up to 25 mpg—just one mile per gallon less than the four-cylinder engine option.
On top of the benefits provided by the powertrain, the Sorento delivers superior storage space and options. Both the second and third row of seats are collapsible which provide the SUV with 72.5 cubic feet of storage. When the seats are upright, the 151.4 cubic feet of passenger volume ensure that consumers have plenty of room for all of their passengers.
To find out more about two of the best-selling Kia models on the market, get in touch with the professionals at Briggs Kia. The sales staff can be reached by phone at 855-346-9381, or through the dealership’s website at www.briggskia.com.

Background: Hemoglobin A1c, (HbA1c) which is the major constituent of glycated hemoglobin, has been used in the follow-up of retrospective glycemia for years and in the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus nowadays. Since the analytical performance of HbA1c should be high likewise all laboratory tests, various quality control measures are used. Sigma metrics is one of these measures and it is the combination of bias, precision and total allowable error that ensures a general evaluation of analytical quality. The aim of our study was to evaluate the analytical performance of Bio-Rad’s Variant Turbo II HbA1c analyzer according to sigma metrics.
Methods: Sigma levels were calculated using the data obtained from two levels of internal and 12 external quality control materials (Bio-Rad) of Variant II Turbo HbA1c analyzer according to s= (TEa% - Bias%) / CV% formula.
Results: The mean sigma levels for low and high quality control materials were found to be 3.0 and 4.1, respectively.
Conclusions: The annual mean analytical performance of Variant II Turbo HbA1c analyzer was found to be acceptable according to sigma metrics. In order to be sure of the difference in HbA1c results indicating the success or failure in treatment but not arise from analytical variation, it is thought that more stringent quality control measures should be applied to reach higher sigma levels.

The CHARGE (coloboma, heart defects, atresia, retardation, genital, ear) syndrome is a genetic disease characterized by ocular coloboma, choanal atresia or stenosis and semicircular canal abnormalities. Most of the patients clinically diagnosed with CHARGE syndrome have mutations in chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 7 (CHD7) gene. The CHD7 gene is located on chromosome 8q12.1, and up to now, there are more than 500 pathogenic mutations identified in the literature. We report two patients diagnosed with CHARGE syndrome with two novel mutations in the CHD7 gene: the first patient has double consecutive novel mutations in three adjacent codons, and the other has a novel insertion.

Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment is generally a relatively safe therapy for various conditions. However, there are some adverse side effects. For example HBO tratment has been reported to increase the production of free oxygen radicals(FRs). Furthermore, to our knowledge, no previous clinical research has been carried out to study the involvement of platelet-activating factor(PAF)as the lipid oxidative stressor in patients undergoing HBO treatment. A total of 45 patients included in this study were first given clinical assessment and laboratory measurements before starting HBO treatment and were named group baseline. After the HBO treatment, the same clinical and laboratory measurements from the same patients were repeated and this was named group sesion >20.As expected, long-term HBO treatment had no effect on oxLDL (oxidized low-density lipoprotein), a lipid oxidative stress(OS) marker. However, the mean PAF values in the second group showed a statistically significant increase compared to their pretreatment values, (P <0. 002).As this is a preliminary study, there is a need for more detailed investigations that demonstrate the association of HBO treatment with the lipid inflammatory response. Therefore, there is need for further clinical study for OS markers such as oxLDL in HBO treatment. Clinical prospective studies are required to confirm our laboratory findings.

Amit Levy with the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) describes research he’s conducting into the way the causal agent of HLB interacts with a citrus tree. The causal agent is the bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas).
Levy, whose research is funded by a U.S. Department of Agriculture grant, says CLas is found in a citrus tree’s phloem. Phloem is very small, narrow tissue deep inside the tree and hard to reach, he adds.
“The bacteria is found in a very strange, sporadic way; it’s not equally distributed” and is found in only very small amounts in the phloem, says Levy, a plant pathologist at the Citrus Research and Education Center in Lake Alfred.
Trees with HLB have blockage in the phloem. “It’s (phloem) the vein of the tree, and they (veins) are getting blocked, and energy doesn’t go where it needs to go, and the tree declines,” Levy says. He adds that it’s the tree’s defense response to the bacteria that blocks the phloem in order to block the movement of the bacteria. “If we can find a way to open those veins … and let the tree roots move the sugars and the nutrients and get stronger, that can help the tree survive,” he says.
“We don’t understand enough of the disease process and the interaction of the bacteria and the plant,” Levy says. “Our project is to really gain more knowledge.”
This interview with Levy is featured in the November episode of the All In For Citrus podcast, a joint project of UF/IFAS and AgNet Media. Listen to the full podcast here.

The excitement is palpable as Doja Cat, the versatile artist, has unveiled the tracklist for her upcoming fourth studio album, “Scarlet.” However, what’s catching the eye and sparking conversation among fans is the conspicuous absence of featured artists on the tracklist. This has led to speculation that Doja Cat might have some surprises up her sleeve, including potential hidden features.
With 15 tracks in total, “Scarlet” adheres to the belief held by many music enthusiasts that an album’s sweet spot lies somewhere between 13 to 15 songs. This bodes well for Doja Cat’s upcoming release, and fans can’t wait to see if “Scarlet” lives up to this industry-standard metric.
The tracklist includes three previously released lead singles, “Attention,” “Paint The Town Red,” and “Demons.” Their inclusion was largely anticipated and has only added to the excitement surrounding the album.
Fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the tracklist, with some providing humorous takes. For example, one fan humorously expressed a desire for track 3, titled “Wet Vag**a,” to be played at their wedding, even though they have no idea what it sounds like. Others have expressed excitement about specific song titles and are eagerly looking forward to hearing these tracks.
However, there is a tinge of disappointment among some fans who were hoping for tracks that had previously leaked but did not make it onto the final album. These fans are holding out hope for a deluxe version of “Scarlet,” citing Doja Cat’s track record of releasing bonus track versions of her albums, such as “Planet Her” and “Amala.”
As we approach the release date of “Scarlet,” the mystery surrounding the absence of featured artists is likely to keep fans buzzing with anticipation. Will there be hidden features, or is Doja Cat taking a solo journey on this musical adventure? Only time will tell, and fans are ready to embark on this thrilling musical journey alongside her. Stay tuned for more updates on Doja Cat and the music industry.

Paul has been passionate about preparing, cooking, and eating healthy food for over 30 years. Born in the UK, he now lives in Florida.
Homemade Is Better
To be honest with you, I've never seen cooking as a chore.
I am one of those people who loves to make my own meals. It's not just about the fun of overcoming the culinary challenges, making meals from scratch means that you get to control the quantity and quality of your food, and can enable a healthy and affordable diet.
There is also something special about feeding family and friends that leads to stronger emotional bonds.
10 Pros of Making Meals Yourself
Here are my main advantages of homemade meals:
- Quality control
- More affordable
- Portion size control
- Fresh ingredients
- Personal dietary requirements can be met
- Brings people together
- Time efficiency
- Educational opportunities
- Flexibility and customization
I look at each of these in more detail below.
1. Control the Quality
Homemade food means that you have complete control of what goes into your meals. Eating pre-prepared products, or takeout food can often mean consuming lower-quality ingredients, which have been used purely for reasons of cost or convenience for the manufacturer or provider.
Making meals yourself also enables you to avoid the numerous additives and preservatives that can go into food nowadays and instead, consume highly nutritional meals.
2. It's More Affordable
Eating out all the time, ordering takeout food, or buying pre-prepared products can get expensive if you are doing it regularly. Buying raw ingredients, such as vegetables, meat, pasta and rice, can work out much cheaper over time.
This is especially true if you are efficient in using the fresh food that you already have; for instance, if you have onions, mushrooms, and garlic in the fridge, you may want to find a recipe that includes these three ingredients.
3. Eat a Healthier Diet
You can plan your meals so that they provide a balanced diet. Healthier foods can be maximized, while unhealthy ingredients can be minimized or missed out. Many commercially prepared foods contain excessive amounts of fat, sugar and salt, as well as unwelcome additives. When you cook at home, you control what your meals have in them.
4. Control Portion Sizes
It's easy to overeat when you go to a restaurant, or have a takeaway delivered—big portions can make healthy restraint difficult. Homemade meals mean that you can make and serve an appropriate amount of food and there's no temptation to consume more than appropriate.
5. Enjoy Fresh Ingredients
Commercially prepared products are often transported and stored. They contain preservatives and other ingredients to slow down the rate of deterioration in quality and taste. Fast food restaurants often have readymade food shipped in, which is then heated up on-site.
Making your own meals from scratch means that you can always cook with fresh ingredients, resulting in your food being both tastier and more nutritious.
6. Meet Your Dietary Requirements
Eating out in a restaurant, or buying commercially prepared food can be very challenging if you have special dietary needs; for example, if you have an allergy, an intolerance to something such as gluten, or a condition such as diabetes.
A similar thing is true if you have chosen a diet on moral or health grounds, such as vegetarian or vegan.
Having meals made from scratch means that you know exactly what is going into the recipe.
7. It Brings People Together
There is an emotional side to preparing, serving, and then eating food as a group. It deepens bonds between friends and family. The meal becomes part of something bigger. Ordering a takeout, or heating up a pre-prepared meal in the microwave just doesn't have the same effect.
Likewise, there is something much more personal about preparing a meal with your own hands, rather than just eating in a restaurant.
8. It Saves Time
Many people think of cookery as a hassle, but in practice, it can often be a big timesaver. There are many meals that can be made in around 20 minutes, and others that only need a little prep before they can be left to cook in an oven, pan, or slow cooker. It's often less effort and quicker than the alternatives.
9. It's Educational
Making homemade meals involves you much more deeply with food, and you end up learning a lot more about what you are eating. This can mean exploring the cuisines of other cultures, as well as discovering more about nutrition.
Cookery is in essence a combination of art and science, the art is in how the food looks, smells, and tastes, and the science comes from how the various ingredients react with each other, especially when exposed to heat.
10. It's Flexible and Creative
Making your own meals can enable you to explore a multitude of recipes and dishes that you may not have encountered if you'd stuck to buying commercially prepared food.
Most of us can fall into a rut regarding what we buy at the supermarket, as well as which restaurants and takeaways we patronize. But making your own food enables you to access the wealth of recipes that are on the internet, in magazines, and on television. Once you master a recipe, you can then customize it.
That's the beauty of homemade meals, you are always in control.

*Ballerina rock star Misty Copeland appears in the upcoming PBS special “American Ballet Theatre at 75,” a Ric Burns documentary saluting the New York-based ballet company’s 75th anniversary year.
Copeland, ABT’s third African American female soloist ever, said she realized a lifelong dream upon joining the elite group of dancers in 2007.
“ABT was the very first ballet company I saw live. I saw Paloma Herrera and Angel Corella dance ‘Don Quixote,’ and I was sold,” Copeland, 32, told journalists Monday (Jan. 19) at the Television Critics Association Press Tour in Pasadena, CA.
Her journey to ABT Soloist has not been smooth. The San Pedro, Calif. native has spoken at length about being introduced to ballet at age 13, a full decade after most preeminent ballerinas begin their training. Also, puberty caused her frame to blossom beyond the art form’s preferred curve-less body type.
And then there was her darker skin.
“I wasn’t completely prepared to experience being the only African American woman in the company for a decade,” said Copeland. “I don’t think that I was completely aware of how few there are in top companies within the ballet world. So, if anything, that was probably the biggest shock for me. But it would have been that way in any company that I would have joined.”
In “American Ballet Theatre at 75,” premiering May 15 on PBS, Burns features intimate rehearsal footage, virtuoso performances, and interviews with artists pivotal to the company’s formation, including Copeland, who is about to star in ABT productions of “Romeo and Juliet” and “Swan Lake.”
Copeland said she would love to see more diversity “in every aspect” of the art form, “on the stage, in the audiences, in the boardrooms, on the artistic staff, and for it to be reaching a younger generation.”
Her pursuit of inclusion, she promised, will continue to be her priority long after she hangs up her toe shoes: “I think I was born to do this, and I can’t imagine doing anything else. I will be pushing the diversity issue for as long as I live.”
Below, Copeland talks about the impact and reaction of her historic ad campaign for Under Armour:

Recovery program helps men in Franklin County
If you're driving on Lincoln Way East from Fayetteville to Chambersburg, you could drive right by Noah's House and not notice this small home that is making a huge difference in the lives of men in Franklin County.
The people who work with and volunteer at Noah's House consider it to be a "three-quarter house" which functions similar to a halfway house, but with additional freedoms for the residents.
Since it opened last October, it's been a key step to getting recovering addicts back into society, but by themselves, the volunteers can only do so much.
Noah's House is the only Pennsylvania Alliance of Recovery Residence certified recovery house in Franklin County. They operate as a non-profit with a single live-in staff member to monitor and assist the residents.
"We're in a position where we need another 20 to 30 recovery homes for men and women in Franklin County alone," said John Lloyd, the founder and CEO of Noah's House.
Right now Noah's House has capacity of 15 men. This is done on purpose to give men a space where they can start their recovery free from any distractions that can come up in a co-ed facility.
Lloyd is a recovering addict himself and has used his experience to help formulate the program offered at Noah's House.
"I'm in recovery and also work in a program called Candleheart Ministries — that's my day job — it's a co-ed program. [In my experience avoiding] a co-ed program avoids the distractions that can happen when two people meet each other and allows for people to focus on their recovery," said Lloyd.
Lloyd is hoping to also create women's recovery homes to help them recover. He believes the process will be much faster than it was for Noah's House because the bedrock of administrative and bureaucratic work has already been laid.
Like some other programs, Noah's House is built on a faith-based recovery system. Patients are required to enter either Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous based on their addiction. Noah's House also helps them network into a job as well as helping them to find a new church community to make themselves a part of, according to Lloyd.
"There are no hand-outs. We have three people on disability and outside of those three, everyone is gainfully employed," said Lloyd.
The goal of instilling all these behaviors in the residents is to create a new lifestyle for them to live. On average, it takes the people living at Noah's House between 90 to 180 days to solidify the recovery lifestyle.
Recovery as a longterm lifestyle is emphasized because without it, residents are prone to fall back on their old habits, according to Lloyd.
Noah's House can help a maximum of 15 residents who live there full-time with a house manager and a rescue dog named Etnie. "We adopted a rescue dog because we're rescue people," Lloyd explained.
As a non-profit organization, Noah's House is dependent on donations. All of the furniture, paint, material and labor that turned the building from a regular home to a recovery home was donated. For additional information about Noah's Home or to make a donation visit: www.noahshouse.org.

Hillary Clinton 'dismayed' by harassment complaint involving former adviser
Hillary Clinton has said she was "dismayed" by sexual harassment accusations made against a senior adviser to her 2008 presidential campaign.
Mrs Clinton tweeted that on Friday she called the former campaign worker who reported the harassment to tell her she was proud she came forward.
The former US secretary of state said she wanted "to make sure she knows what all women should: we deserve to be heard".
Mrs Clinton's tweets came after a New York Times report that she declined to sack the adviser, Burns Strider, despite her campaign manager's recommendations.
Mrs Clinton has not addressed why Mr Strider remained on her 2008 Democratic campaign.
The Times reported that Mr Strider was docked several weeks' pay and ordered to undergo counselling, but declined to attend.

I had the honor of sitting down with Denise Franklin, host of WFDD’s “Voices & Viewpoints” show, and discussing some of my adventures spanning 20 years in this business. We go through some stories of my experiences as both an audio technician and cameraman in locations throughout the world – Torino, Mali Africa, Beijing, Galapagos Islands, and Papua New Guinea.
Anyone who knows me, understands how I love to be behind the camera but shy away from getting in front of it. If you listen to the beginning of this show you’ll hear how I sound when I’m nervous. As the show goes on I get settled into a grove and become more comfortable. I have to thank the wonderful producer of the show, Kathryn Mobley, for working her producer magic and making it a great show.

Unprocessed glass will be banned from export from 1 January 2021, followed by mixed plastics, whole used tyres, single resin/polymer plastics, and mixed and unsorted paper and cardboard.
So, how can engineers address this issue and stop Australia from drowning in recyclable waste?
The construction industry provides one avenue for innovative waste solutions. Geofabrics Australasia, an Australian manufacturer and distributor of geosynthetics for the building and infrastructure sectors, incorporates recycled polymers in a number of its products.
This includes in its geotextiles, which are permeable materials typically used for filtration and separation, for example to prevent soil erosion or moisture loss.
“Early in 2020, we brought to market a geotextile, for the first time in Australia, that includes Australian recycled plastics,” said Dennis Grech, CEO and Managing Director of Geofabrics.
“We feel a real obligation as a business to innovate at reducing waste to landfill and eliminating plastic waste going into our waterways.”
The company also recently signed a long-term supply agreement with packaging company Visy.
“Visy uses food-grade recycled PET in the manufacture of its plastic bottles,” Grech explained.
“The partnership between us and Visy is such that where the recycled PET is not fit for bottles, Geofabrics purchases that recycled PET to use in manufacturing our geotextile.”
Geofabrics also produces paving fabric and pipe products made from recycled materials.
“A number of customers, including government infrastructure projects and large contractors, are opting for the green product range, which is really pleasing,” Grech said.
“We are seeing an increasing momentum in Australia for infrastructure projects to incorporate sustainable materials … I also think there is a need for industry and government to come together to create an environment that promotes the use of recycled content.
“Government has a role to play, to encourage and indeed support Australian companies that innovate in the use of Australian recycled material.”


(Bloomberg) — The price of Russia’s main crude oil slumped in Europe after Saudi Arabia promised to sell its own barrels at huge discounts.
Vitol Group and Trafigura Group Ltd. failed to find buyers on Monday when they offered to sell Urals crude at the deepest discounts to a regional benchmark in almost two months. Two days earlier, Saudi Arabia slashed the price of its own grades and then promised to ramp up output. The two nations disagreed last week about how to tackle a global glut that’s been exacerbated by the coronavirus.
“There is little doubt that Urals will be a casualty of the recent Saudi pricing policy,” said Eugene Lindell, senior consultant at JBC Energy GmbH in Vienna. “Refiners will process as much April-loading Saudi crude as they can procure, and this will come to the detriment of spot grades, notably Russian Urals.”
Saudi Aramco, the state oil company, will supply a record 12.3 million barrels a day to the market in April, a level that’s above its maximum sustainable capacity and indicating that the kingdom is even tapping strategic inventories to dump as much crude — as quickly as possible — onto the market.
On Saturday, Aramco made cuts of $8 a barrel for most grades to northwest Europe. Arab Light will sell for $10.25 less than Dated Brent in April. The reductions were huge by historic standards.
While that will make Saudi grades significantly cheaper than Brent, the main benchmark in northwest Europe, it will also make them more competitive against Russian barrels. Vitol and Trafigura both offered Urals at about $3 below Dated Brent, the weakest in almost two months, according to people monitoring a price-assessment window organized by S&P Global Platts.
Urals could trade as low as $6 a barrel below Dated Brent, even if the monthly average discount will probably be smaller than that, Lindell said. European buyers may not be able to procure as much Saudi oil as they would like, he said.
Paper markets for Russian oil also showed weakness, selling off sharply on Monday, brokers said. April contracts for difference settled at -$3.40 on Monday compared with -$1.47 on Friday, according to ICE Futures Europe data. Almost 3,000 contracts traded, about a third of all those currently held.
Russia can boost production by 500,000 barrels a day, said Alexander Novak, the nation’s energy minister. That would potentially put the country’s output at record 11.8 million barrels a day. Top producer Rosneft PJSC is planning to lift output by 300,000 barrels a day, probably as soon as April 1.
Before the pledges to lift output, Russia had scheduled seaborne Urals exports in March of 7.84 million tons, or 1.85 million barrels a day, compared with 2 million barrels a day for February, according to loading program seen by Bloomberg. It’s not clear how much, if any, of the mooted increase in output will translate into a hike in exports.
Brent futures plunged by almost a quarter on Monday, the biggest drop since the 1991 Gulf War. They rallied on Tuesday.

The Great Carnack knows who he is and foresaw this fanpost coming. He also sees:
That Cane fans are tired of the agony and have grown used to negativity.
Patience, albeit two decades worth, is still a virtue.
That coaches coach catching but don’t catch the ball.
It’s about being in the present.
That Mario has a pattern of conference championships everywhere he goes.
That Canes have never won the ACC in football but that will change.
That positivity breeds results.
Better days are always head.
HardRock will have more than a few fans and Canes will beat Duke.
Nancies will still decry the pisspoorisity.
Canes players read SOTU.
Canes players bust their asses in practice.
There is no GB and U yet.

Drones.net is for sale on Flippa, the large marketplace for buying and selling domains. Drones.net was purchased by James Selig in June of last year with a goal of becoming a drone video hosting site (“think YouTube, but strictly featuring those jaw-dropping aerial shots taken by drones”). The goal was squelched by the massive interest in the domain from startups and larger industry players.
DONELIFE looked at the “drone domain” business in a July ” Is it Time to Buy a Drone Domain?” and receives many inbound emails from those interested in selling drone-related domains, but none with the firepower of Drones.net.
The current high bid (10:30am EST on 10/15/2014) is $9,000 but expect this domain to bring a much higher selling price. If you are interested in becoming a buyer or sell of drone domains, take a quick read of the Domainer’s Bible: A Beginner’s Guide to Buying and Selling Domain Names.

10 REASONS WHY A LONDONER SHOULD VISIT ATHENS
- The weather: Apart from a few outbursts of rain during the depth of winter, the weather in Athens basically consists of: sun, sun… and sun. It’s never really cold, t-shirt weather lasts from March well into October… and unlike London, noone in Athens carries an umbrella around “just in case”!
- The food: There are well over 1000 restaurants in a city with less than a 1,000,000 inhabitants – you can eat somewhere new every night, and in a place that caters to every kind of taste. There is simply no shortage of great tavernas serving the best Greek salads and “biftekia” you’ve ever tasted. Restaurants like Athinaikon or Aneton do Greek cuisine with a more modern twist. Fancy some Cretan cuisine? Head to Alatsi. Something more fancy and buzzy? Try Vezene (which serves the best Tagliata I’ve ever had!). French? Bistro Le Mignon. Spanish? Para Siempre. Thai? Just head to Tamarind. You name it, you can find it, and usually at good prices too. Italian restaurants and sushi places are everywhere, and if you really want a meal to remember… give Funky Gourmet a call (and you can thank me for that one later!).
- The history: Greek and more specifically Athenian culture is literally all around you. The Acropolis is the most obvious landmark that comes to most people’s minds, but walking around the centre of Athens you are surrounded by Parliament, Panepistimio (the University), the library, and of course.. the odd ruin here and there! The New Acropolis museum is a must-see, and for the city is filled with other museums and galleries that are a great visit for anyone looking to broaden their cultural knowledge.
- The islands: Mykonos, Santorini, and hundreds of other islands you have and haven’t heard of are only a short boat ride away from Athen’s ports – so If you are visiting for more than a weekend, definitely take a day or 2 out to visit something and get a nice tan that all your London mates will be jealous of!
- The nightlife: One thing in Athens is unquestionable: Greeks LOVE to party! Head to Kolonaki on a Monday night and you’ll still see loads of squashed bodies crammed into a bar at 2am. And the night usually doesn’t start until at least 11pm! Sophisticated (and pricey!) cocktails can be sipped on the rooftop Galaxy Bar at the Hilton hotel while you gaze at the acropolis, or if you’re after something a little more rock n roll, make your way down to Six Dogs and grab a beer while you watch the latest rock band play a set. Faust is the alternative chic bar of choice, and if you’re looking to hang out with the young Athens elite, Nixon Bar is a great place to see and be seen.
- Getting Around is Easy: Athens’s metro system is relatively new, efficient and quite clean, there are trams that allow you to get around while taking in the sites of the city, and taxis are some of the cheapest in Europe, a 15-20 minute journey by cab is usually around the 10 euro mark.
- The people: Most Greeks love to chat about their country’s history (which the majority know very much about!) to interested visitors. Virtually everyone in Athens speaks English, and Greek hospitality is very well-known, so don’t be surprised if you get invited to someone’s mother’s house for some spanakopita after a 10 minute chat!
- The neighbourhoods: Athens has a wide and varied network of neighbourhoods which each give a different taste to its visitors. Kolonaki is “downtown”, and a great starting place to immerse yourself into the buzz of the city, but make sure you visit neighbouring Plaka and Monastiraki which are a little on the touristy side but a must-see for the outdoor tavernas and coffee shops, antiques markets and people-watching. Kifissia in the Northern suburbs is a mini-city all in itself with fancy boutiques and lots of ladies who lunch. Glyfada in the southern burbs is a great place to wander around even more boutiques and have lunches where everyone around is checking you out. For the beach, head to upscale Vougliameni or even further out to Cape Sounio which gives gorgeous sea views only an hour’s drive from downtown.
- It’s not that far: Many people forget that Athens is a 3.5 hour direct flight away, and hey guys, it’s still part of Europe! British Airways, Aegaen airlines and Easyjet all have daily direct flights, and with Ryanair’s latest announcement that they will be starting direct flights from April, there is always a flight to fit every budget.
- Don’t worry: If you’re starting to miss the tastes of home, The Grande Bretagne Hotel in Syntagma Square serves daily Afternoon Tea.. and all us Londoners know a cup of tea makes anywhere feel like home!
(BTW I would add point 11 which is the random sleeping dogs that you see everywhere, but I think people will think I’m crazy. Ok yes I know, I’m crazy.)

Vice President Joice Mujuru says the government intends to scrap electricity bills that were accumulated since the hyper-inflationary era to lessen the burden on people.
Mujuru who was addressing people at an event to remember the life of Simon Chimbetu conceded that the bills that were carried forward since the change over to the multi-currency regime have become a burden for the people and there is need to scrap them.
The Vice President who thanked the electorate for voting for Zanu-PF overwhelmingly and showing confidence in President Robert Mugabe also dismissed speculations that the government is considering immediately re-introducing the Zimbabwe dollar.
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe has said there are no immediate plans to re-introduce the Zimbabwean dollar saying it can only be introduced when the economy has stabilised.
Analysts say the speculation was generated by sections that wanted to create a state of panic after Zanu-PF won the elections.
