10 fine artists and theoretical scientists have abandoned careers and hard-earned degrees to forge unconventional lives as modern-day paper-folders.
Vanessa Gould has studied a mix of science, art, theory, math, and design over the past two decades, including architecture and astrophysics at Columbia and music at the New England Conservatory.

She is also a pianist and painter. Show less
Origami may seem an unlikely medium for understanding and explaining the world. But around the globe, several fine artists and theoretical scientists are abandoning more conventional career paths to forge lives as modern-day paper folders. Through origami, these offbeat and provocative minds are reshaping ideas of creativity and revealing the relationship between art and science.Between the Folds chronicles 10 of their stories. Featuring interviews with and insights into the practice of these intrepid paper folders, the film opens with three of the world's foremost origami artists: a former sculptor in France who folds caricatures in paper rivaling the figures of Daumier and Picasso; a hyper-realist who walked away from a successful physics career to challenge the physics of a folded square instead; and an artisanal papermaker who folds impressionistic creations from the very same medium he makes from scratch.
The film then moves to less conventional artists, exploring concepts of minimalism, deconstruction, process, and empiricism. Abstract artists emerge with a greater emphasis on concept, chopping at the fundamental roots of realism, which have long dominated traditional origami. The film also features advanced mathematicians and a remarkable scientist who received a MacArthur Genius Award for his computational origami research.
While debates ebb and flow on issues of folding technique, symbolism, and purpose, this unique film shows how closely art and science are intertwined. The medium of paper folding — a simple blank, uncut square — emerges as a resounding metaphor for the creative potential for transformation in all of us.

A lot of people start to feel back pain after a car accident has already happened. It's common for injuries like whiplash to appear after the impact, so sometimes you don't realize you were injured at the time of the crash.
If that's your situation, there are a few things you need to do:
1. See a doctor.
A doctor can help you figure out what's wrong, document the injury, and help prevent further damage.
2. Don't talk with the other driver's insurance company.
If they try contacting you for a statement, don't say anything. They can use your statement against you, and that's an especially dangerous situation if you don't know the extent of your injuries yet. You should also avoid discussing the accident on social media or other public forums.
3. Contact a lawyer.
Back and neck injuries are notorious for getting shortchanged by insurance companies; but they can cause a lot of pain. The treatments can sometimes be expensive, or cause you to miss work. You need a lawyer to help make sure those costs get covered.
Our Kansas City car accident lawyers have a lot of experience with back and neck injury. We can help you get the compensation you need, but don't wait! The longer you wait, the weaker your case may get. Contact us today to get started with a free conversation.

I love you mother, really I do... but let's not get sticky about it.
Mildred Pierce plays like a melodrama and looks and feels like film noir, but it cleverly subverts a few of the tropes that primarily define the noir genre, setting this tale of betrayal and murder within a different and more complicated gender paradigm.
Joan Crawford won the Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of Mildred, a mother of two who, deserted by her philandering husband, takes it upon herself to provide for her daughters, Kay (Jo Anne Marlowe) and Veda (Ann Blyth). However, Mildred's assumption of a traditionally male role takes a toll on her family, and as she earns success, she finds herself preyed on for her money as well as for her sex appeal — and the decisions she makes in each instance have repercussions later.
Beautifully staged by director Michael Curtiz — with Ernest Haller's cinematography capturing shadows with the zeal of a fetishist — and brilliantly performed by the strong-yet-fragile Crawford, Mildred Pierce is fascinatingly both feminist and anti-feminist, depicting a woman who is both triumphantly independent and inescapably undone by the conflict between her "male" ambitions and her female instincts. All of the usual archetypes of film noir are in conflict not only outside Mildred, but within her, as well: she is as much as anyone both the heel and femme fatale of her own story. Mildred Pierce also works simply as a roller-coastering soap of hard and tawdry emotions, with Blyth, Jack Carson and Zachary Scott memorably playing the distinctly defined parasites who complicate Mildred's strident self-actualization.
Mildred Pierce was brought to my Potluck Film Fest by Flickcharter Alex Christian Lovendahl, who ranks it at #106/2193 (95%) on his Flickchart, making it his favorite movie melodrama out of 25. Mildred Pierce landed on my Flickchart at #618 (84%), where it's #12 out of the 56 movie melodramas that I've seen.

Who are we?
The Mobile City is an independent research group founded by Martijn de Waal and Michiel de Lange. The Mobile City investigates the influence of digital media technologies on urban life, and the implications for urban design. We like to collaborate with institutions, organizations and individuals from various disciplines who share our interest in these issues.
- We aim to understand the ways digital media technologies shape urban life. How is urban life changing, and what are the main challenges and opportunities? More >>
- We want to bring these insights back to urban design. How can cities become better and more interesting places to live in? More >>
- Research. We investigate and write about current developments at the intersection of new technologies and urbanism. More >>
- Events. We regularly organize and contribute to conferences, workshops, and expert meetings with professionals from a range of disciplines and nationalities to exchange knowledge and collaborate. More >>
- Networking. We operate as a networked organization that seeks alliances with partner organizations. Join our social networks on platforms like Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin to become part of these networks and share your insights and questions with us.
In our view it is no longer useful or even possible to understand urban life as separate from information and communication technologies. Today’s cities are shaped by a wide variety of digital technologies, with acronyms like GSM, GPS, CCTV , UMTS, LBS, AR, Wi-Fi, and RFID (or in plain English: mobile phone networks, satellite navigation, security camera’s, wireless data communication systems, location based services, augmented reality, chips and sensor-networks).
The city is physical and digital. It has become a ‘hybrid city’. Developments like these profoundly change our ideas of time and space, culture and identity, solidarity and citizenship.
As a consequence, urban design is expanding beyond architecture and urban planning. It includes all disciplines that contribute to the shaping of urban life: from architects and urban planners to policy makers; from media developers and artists to telecom companies; and from technology research to urban anthropology. We claim that the design of the hybrid city benefits from the mutual involvement of multiple disciplines.
In order to provide directions to the broad emerging field of new media urbanism, we specifically focus on three issues:
- Home. How to feel at home amidst the diversity and tensions of urban life?
- Ownership. How to evoke engagement with urban life and provide opportunities for citizens to act?
- Play. How can playful interventions, from storytelling and art to urban gaming, stimulate unexpected encounters and enrich urban life?
The Mobile City is a foundation with two founding directors (Martijn de Waal and Michiel de Lange) and three board members. Members of the board are:
Chair: Emilie Randoe
Emilie Randoe (1963) is founder and director of Randoe Verandermanagement, a company specialized in enabling people to organize change in organizations or in networks of co-creation. Randoe Verandermanagement works for a variety of clients in sectors such as education, design, creative industry).
Treasurer: Frank Kresin
Frank Kresin is currently Research Director at Waag Society and responsible for its research programme. It encompasses the fields of health care, cultural heritage, education, the public domain, urban reality and arts-science collaborations. Frank has a background as filmmaker; he has a master degree in Artificial Intelligence and served as programme manager at the Dutch Digital University Consortium.

Worsham: LSU Leaves Atlanta Loaded with Trophies. Now, They Want More.
ATLANTA — Ja’Marr Chase wasn’t joking – his back hurt.
Nothing that will affect him for LSU’s upcoming playoff matchup with Oklahoma – seconds after winning the Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s top receiver, Chase’s mind went straight to Monday’s practice in preparation for the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. But when the sophomore wide receiver attempted to pick up the latest addition to his trophy collection, he severely underestimated its sheer mass.
It took two large men to carry in and a dolly to carry out the prize Chase so coveted that he put a sticky note on his bathroom mirror before the season bearing its name, a daily reminder of what he was striving for.
“I won it,” Chase said, still in shock moments after. “I guess I can take the note down.”
Chase wasn’t the only Tiger who went home with hardware Thursday night – far from it. Grant Delpit’s Thorpe Award victory as the nation’s top defensive back, Joe Burrow’s sweep of the Maxwell Award (best all-around player) and Davey O’Brien Award (top quarterback), and Ed Orgeron‘s reception of the National Coach of the Year meant the Tigers enjoyed a banner night and returned to Baton Rouge Friday with plenty of hardware.
When they return to Atlanta in 10 days, however, they’ll start chasing the trophy they truly want, the one they’d trade all five from Friday for in a heartbeat.
That’s A Sweep, Folks!#GeauxTigers pic.twitter.com/CdmUnDsONP
— LSU Football (@LSUfootball) December 13, 2019
“The award comes with winning,” Delpit said. “It’s really a team award, and if I could drop the award for a national championship, I would. We’re not done yet. We have bigger dreams, bigger hopes, coming up the 28th.”
Still, there was time to celebrate, individually and collectively, on Thursday.
No one finished the evening more decorated than Burrow, who picked up two more honors to add to an ever-growing collection of mementos kept in his parents’ basement in The Plains, Ohio. The senior has one more prestigious award to claim this weekend – he boarded a plane for New York City and the Heisman Trophy Ceremony on Friday morning – but his talking points haven’t changed.
He’s already preparing, in his mind, for Oklahoma, and it’s going to take a lot to take his team down.
“We have a bond that can’t be broken,” Burrow said. “You’re going to have to kill us to beat us, I think. That’s just the kind of people we are. We built that bond the last two years in the offseason, coming in on Saturdays, working hard, doing it in the weight room.”
The superhero of the SEC got a lot of weird questions on Thursday, none stranger, perhaps, than what his super power of choice would be, if he could have one. Teleportation, the quarterback replied, so he could wake up in New York City instead of boarding an early plane.
College football’s best passer was happy to throw praise around to his teammates and coach on Thursday night, with Orgeron, in particular, a point of emphasis for Burrow. Asked how Coach O sold Burrow on his vision when transferring to Baton Rouge from Ohio State two years ago, Burrow was blunt and, as usual, right on the money.
“Have you ever talked to Coach O?” he asked. “He could sell you anything if you give him 15 minutes.”
Orgeron, like Burrow, stuck to the playbook that’s led him to this point: 13-0, SEC Champions, No. 1 in the College Football Playoff, and National Coach of the Year. He deflected praise to his players, his staff, his administration, and he remained steadfast that as brilliant as Thursday night was for the Tigers, it was a stop, not a destination.
“The SEC Championship was not our final destination,” he said. “We all know what our final destination in our minds and our goals. We don’t talk about it. But we want to reach it. Along with opportunity comes opposition.”
Before the awards, Delpit dined with the Thorpe Award committee, his family, and former award winner Roy Williams. He read a book about Thorpe’s life and gave a brief speech about his favorite moments of his career. “To be honest,” he said, looking around the room, “I don’t think it’s come yet. We’re going pretty far this year.”
When he won, Delpit breathed a sigh of relief. He badly wanted it last year, the trophy that considers itself the defensive Heisman, and he worried injuries this year would prevent him from collecting it. But when he held it in his arms, he wanted nothing more than to give it away to the predecessors that paved his way at LSU.
“I really want this award to be for the guys who came through LSU and haven’t had a chance to win the award,” he said. “It’s truly a blessing to bring it back to the boot.”
After the awards, Chase, receivers coach Mickey Joseph, and his family enjoyed a steak dinner. Chase talked about his career highlights. His favorite LSU moment so far? Getting to sit on the front of the plane on road trips. Meanwhile, his father, Jimmy, chewed on a victory cigar, and his mother, Toleah, choked back tears.
“It’s a relief,” Chase said after winning the award. “Knowing my dad’s been on me every day, pushing me every day to be a better person, a better athlete, a better son. I just like to see my mom smile. I never want to see her cry. If I see her cry, I want to at least see tears of joy. This is for my parents.”
As dinner wound down, Toleah recalled cleaning her son’s bathroom this fall and seeing his mirror covered in sticky notes: 50 catches, 1,000 yards, Biletnikoff Award, and more. She simply lifted them, cleaned behind, and replaced them, never mentioning them to her son.
The catch, yards, and award post-it notes can come down now. But there are more notes that will remain in Ja’Marr’s mirror – at least until January 13. When the final buzzer CFP national championship game in New Orleans sounds, maybe that mirror can finally get a thorough cleaning.
Until then, there’s more work to be done, more trophies to pursue.
“It’s a good night for us,” Chase said. “But we’re going to have to forget about this in the next 48 hours and get back to work.”

All I can say is YUM!!!
I really enjoyed making this recipe. It was extremely easy to cook and it didn’t take long at all! Those are the kinds of recipes that I love! Originally, I had planned to make the brown sugar pear french toast, but the strawberries called to me. <3
- 2 cup(s) unsweetened frozen strawberries, very coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup(s) water
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 4 large egg(s)
- 3/4 cup(s) fat free skim milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 8 slice(s) reduced-calorie whole wheat bread, or multi-grain
- 2 spray(s) cooking spray
You start by mixing the strawberries (chopped) and water in a pot and cook them down until the strawberries are soft and juicy.
After it’s done cooking, you add in the sugar and let it dissolve.
Then, whisk the rest of the ingredients together. (other than the bread obviously…that would be weird).
Dip the bread into the egg mixture and cook the slices in a pan with no stick cooking spray.
Once you’re done cooking, top the french toast with the compote.
This recipe is only 4 points! It’s a really great option if you don’t have many points left for the day. Actually…it’s just a good option all around!
We love breakfast for dinner at our house so this will definitely go in my WW weekly rotation! That compote was…MMMMM…
I topped mine with some lite whipped topping too! I highly recommend doing this!
We will most definitely be making this again!
We also went to the grocery store so that I could pick up a few snacky items that are weight watcher friendly.
We stopped and got some fuel.
Mine was a tall very berry hibiscus tea that was 90 calories and 4 WW points. It was so refreshing and yummy! The perfect pick me up! The hub’s was…well…let’s just say not WW friendly. 😛
Once again…I forgot to get the picture of everything all pretty in the cart. One day I’ll get that elusive picture. One day…
But I digress…
Here’s my healthy grocery haul!
I can’t wait to try those WW ice cream bars! I’m drooling just at the thought!
As far as my weight loss surprise….I’VE LOST 3 pounds!
I weighed myself and after only a short time (less than a week) I’ve managed to lose 3 whole pounds just by following the WW eating plan and walking on the treadmill. I WAS SHOCKED! AND SOOO EXCITED!
3 pounds may not seem like a lot but I…
1.) wasn’t expecting it
2.) am really proud of myself for losing any weight…no matter how much.
I can’t wait to see the results that I’m going to get in the future!
If you try the strawberry french toast, let me know how you like it! I’d love to hear your thoughts and what you think of the recipe.
1.) What kind of fruit compote would you want on your french toast?
2.) Have you tried any of the items in my grocery haul?
3.) How did you find my blog?
Lots of love!

Edtech decacorn Byju’s is raising USD 296 Mn (Rs 2200 cr) as new investment, which appears to be part of its ongoing Series F round. The new financing round led by Oxshott Venture Fund will likely enhance its valuation to $18 billion, up from a valuation of $16.5 billion in June this year.
Investors Edelweiss, Veriton Fund, XN Exponent Holdings, and MarketX Ventures will also be participating in this round of funding, according to regulatory filing accessed by research firm Tofler. Byju’s issued 77,174 shares to these investors, with Oxshott alone buying over 40,000 shares, at a share price of Rs 2,85,062 (each).
The latest capital exercise comes few weeks after BYJU’s bagged USD 150 Mn from Asmaan Ventures and ARK Ncore as part of its USD 1 Bn round. The fresh infusion appears to be the second tranche of this round. Byju’s, which has over 100 million registered students and 6.5 million paid subscribers, has been on an acquisition spree. The edtech major had recently announced the acquisition of Gradeup, one of India’s largest online exam preparation platforms, for an undisclosed amount. The company has so far spent $2.6 Bn for acquiring 9 companies.
Byju’s has seen profit more than double to ₹50.76 crore in FY20 with the sale of tablets, SD cards and books getting it the bulk of its revenues. Byju’s standalone income from operations of ₹2,110 crore came from three major businesses – tuition fee ( ₹144 crore), sale of education tablets and SD cards ( ₹1,675 crore) and sale of reference books ( ₹560 crore)
According to the IIFL Wealth Hurun India Rich List 2021, the study-from-home trend which has been promoted on the back of the pandemic led Raveendran and Family’s fortune to grow 19 percent year-on-year to Rs 24,300 crore.

Little-known West Australian company Fibre Expressway is raising $US1.5 billion ($1.9 billion) – $US850 million through equity and $US650 million via debt – to build subsea fibre-optic cables that will help connect the state’s vast resources and mining sector to the economic hubs of south-east Asia.
The plan, which managing director Peter Bannister says was first hatched about five years ago, is to lay down 10,000 kilometres of cable stretching from Perth to Darwin, and then up through Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia.
The project is slated for completion in 2025, according to Mr Bannister, who said Fibre Expressway was working with French investment bank Natixis to raise the funds and claimed it was finding strong interest in the market.
“The big $US1.5 billion will come from global financial investors that already invest in data centres and subsea cables,” he said. “It’s not a large sum ... there is a lot of money out there looking for projects like this.”
Fibre Expressway’s fundraising comes amid great interest in telecoms assets globally. In Australia, Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets and Aware Super lobbed a $3.5 billion bid for infrastructure-focused telco Vocus Group this week, and Telstra is seeking to monetise its tower network before 2022.
Vocus too is planning to close a fibre-optic loop between Darwin and Perth, investing in a new cable leg between Port Hedland in north-west Western Australia and Geraldton north of Perth.
But Mr Bannister is relatively unconcerned by the potential competition, saying Fibre Expressway was targeting a different segment of the market – the mining and resources sector.
Sector is ‘looking for this’
“If you talk to a lot of the mining companies they do moan that there’s no bandwidth,” he said. “It’s a sector that’s looking for this type of thing.”
Offshore floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants are also a major focus.
“Floating LNG, they must have fibre connected ... So, with Prelude [A Shell-owned FLNG plant] would want to remotely operate that asset from Europe and with Ichthys [owned by Inpex] the same from Japan. I think one of the assets has about 30,000 monitors on it that they want to look to control.”
He said the company focused on the west because it saw little prospect of breaking through the established telco players on the east coast.
“It’s not worth putting in a bid for something you know you are going to lose. We have such a huge opportunity over here – we are closer to Asia than Sydney and Melbourne. Unless someone came to ask us to do a particular project [on the east coast], we’ve certainly got enough to do here.”
Mr Bannister said companies based in Singapore were increasingly looking to invest in Perth given the proximity of the city compared to the eastern cities.
“Where would the Singaporeans back up there facilities? Well we just live down the road. I can fly quicker to Singapore than I can to Sydney, and I think Asia recognises that.”
Fibre Expressway is in regular talks with the West Australian and Northern Territory governments, which Mr Bannister believes are supportive of the project and have begun to recognise the benefits of their proximity to Asia.
“[The network] will provide capacity for multinational cloud giants and global financial services companies to diversify beyond traditional data centre hubs such as Sydney, Melbourne and Singapore,” Mr Bannister said.

Pokémon fans still have nine months left before the sixth generation games are physically available but it's not stopping from companies accepting pre-orders.
As Latinos Post previously reported, retailers such as GameStop have started accepting pre-orders but now joining them is the online site Amazon.
"Pokémon X" and "Pokémon Y" are available for pre-orders on Amazon for a price tag of $39.99. Despite the game coming out in October, the price is likely not to change as the site cites "Price Guarantee."
Unlike GameStop, Amazon does not have a specific release date for the game, not even a placeholder like GameStop issued.
Amazon is offering the new Pokémon games with free shipping. The phrase "FREE Super Saver Shipping" allows Amazon customers to get free shipping on orders that cost $25 and over
So far "Pokémon X" is performing better than "Pokémon Y" on Amazon's Best Sellers Rank in the video games category. So far, "X" is ranked 276 while "Y" is ranked 303. Regardless, both games are far away from the Top 100 in Video Games chart.
"Pokémon X" and "Pokémon Y" are set to be released this October in Australia, Europe, Japan, and North America. It won't be the first Pokémon game released for the Nintendo 3DS however as "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity" has been out before it.

Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son and Sprint CEO Dan Hesse met with the U.S. Justice Department earlier this month to discuss a possible merger between Softbank-owned Sprint and T-Mobile, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. However, the Justice Department officials were skeptical about a possible merger between America’s third- and fourth-largest wireless carriers.
Sprint Corp.board members Masayoshi Son and Dan Hesse met recently with Justice Department officials who said they would view a Sprint acquisition of wireless rival T-Mobile US Inc. with skepticism, people briefed on the conversation said. The conversation, which occurred in January, shows the seriousness of Mr. Son’s interest in a deal, and his highest hurdle. U.S. antitrust authorities regard the current lineup of four national mobile-phone carriers as important to maintaining a competitive market, and department officials indicated at the meeting that a deal combining Sprint and T-Mobile could face regulatory difficulties, the people said.

Brookfield Township posts snow emergency, Arms Museum closed

Officials also asked residents to refrain from plowing snow from driveways and sidewalks into the street.

VATICAN CITY (CNS) – A Spanish monsignor found guilty of leaking confidential documents about the Vatican’s financial reform has begun serving his 18-month prison sentence at the Vatican.
Msgr. Lucio Vallejo Balda, secretary of the Prefecture for the Economic Affairs of the Holy See, was found guilty of stealing and passing on documents to Italian journalists Gianluigi Nuzzi and Emiliano Fittipaldi.
In accordance with Vatican law, the prosecution had 40 days to contest the sentence, which had been considerably reduced from its original request.
Following the court’s ruling, Msgr. Vallejo Balda was allowed limited freedom of movement within the confines of Vatican City State. However, he was formally arrested Aug. 22 by Vatican police and placed in a prison cell to begin his sentence.
The cell is located in the building of the Gendarme Corps of Vatican City State, as the Vatican police force is formally known. It is presumed to be the same cell prepared for Paolo Gabriele, the former papal butler who leaked reserved papal correspondence in 2012. Gabriele was pardoned by Pope Benedict XVI after serving less than three months.

Lucknow: BSP will not contest by-elections on 12 Assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh and instead prepare for mid-term polls as the Akhilesh Yadav government "might fall within a year", party supremo Mayawati said on Friday.
"We will do preparations for Assembly polls. There is a possibility that this (SP) government may fall within a year and mid-term polls will be held," told reporters here.
Mayawati said that at present she would stay in Delhi and strengthen the party in the states where elections are due in the next two years.
In Uttar Pradesh, 12 legislators -- 11 of BJP and one from its ally Apna Dal -- have been elected in the recent Lok Sabha polls necessitating by-elections in the seats held by them in the near future.
"Generally, in by-elections the Election Commission is not involved directly. Due to this, the ruling SP had in the past misused official machinery in such elections. That is why we will not waste our energy in by-elections," she said.

Drive along Topanga Canyon Boulevard near the 118 freeway and the topography resembles Radiator Springs, the town from Pixar’s “Cars” that’s framed with craggy rock formations. However, you won’t find Flo’s V8 Café or Lightning McQueen once you reach Lassen Street. Instead, a strip mall houses Woodlands Indian Vegetarian restaurant, a Brazilian jiu jitsu studio, and best of all, Skewers Halal.
A small plant-lined patio gives way to a dining room with cream-colored walls, and tables with lime green chairs. Order from the counter fronting an open kitchen, and notice the conveyer belt pizza oven — if it looks familiar, that means you were a customer at Pizza Ola, the space’s previous tenant.
Skewers Halal serves Italian standbys like pizzas and sub sandwiches, plus chicken wings, but you’re far better off going with the Afghan specialties. Chapli kabob is clearly the restaurant’s top skewer. Halal top round and sirloin are ground in-house, yielding lean patties spiced with scallions, cumin, cilantro, chilies, and garlic. Charred chapli packs a punch and comes with Kandahar-style pulao, a spiced rice dish tossed with vermicelli strands.
No matter what, the meat is Halal, meaning the animals were raised naturally, slaughtered humanely, and butchered according to permissible Islamic laws. Owner Raz Doust butchers on-site. Meanwhile, the Afghan salad that comes with any meal combines diced tomato, onion, cucumber and herbs, and each order also arrives with sturdy, whole-wheat, poppy seed studded Afghan naan bread that’s baked in-house.
Beef koobideh ($10.99) is chapli’s milder cousin, featuring casing-free top round skewers marinated in garlic and onion and dried cilantro. Lamb kabob ($10.99) involves cubes of leg meat that luxuriate in a tangy blend of yogurt, lemon rind, garlic, and black pepper before getting charbroiled and dusted with sumac. You can also order chicken chunks, while rice, naan, and salad serve as co-stars.
No matter what you order, be sure to request green chutney, an addictive blend of cilantro, fresh garlic, and a bit of black pepper. Doust makes a surprising addition — sweet kiwi — to balance the sauce’s noticeable kick.
While The Halal Guys draw lines across the U.S. with chicken and rice franchises inspired by the original Midtown Manhattan street cart, Skewers Halal serves a version of chicken & rice ($8.99) that utterly schools them. The Chatsworth plate features chopped dark and white meat chicken lashed with a pair of house-made sauces. Creamy white sauce has tangy bite thanks to sour cream, lemon, and garlic. Red hot sauce combines garlic, black pepper, cayenne and vinegar to great effect.
Doust’s dexterity with dough extends to bolani ($6.99), a supple whole-wheat flatbread stuffed with leeks and spices and served with aforementioned chutney. He pointed out that the chives are originally from Kandahar, adding “You will not find that in any market.” Bolani is apparently from Afghan villages and is now ubiquitous. Doust said, “Go to any high-end Afghan dinner and you will find that.”
Raz Doust, with a last name that translates from Urdu to English as “friend,” grew up in Kandahar. He ran Italian restaurants for two decades, including Raz’s Little Italy in Agoura Hills, Encino, and now West Hills, which his sister runs. He also had restaurants in Canoga Park, New York, and Pomona. Doust took a break to advise the U.S. military in Afghanistan before returning to L.A. to open Skewers Halal, his ninth restaurant.
Skewers Halal has seen one casualty from the opening menu: pakoras. Doust had been slicing potatoes and chunks of chicken, battering them, and deep-frying. No longer will their golden sheathes grace plates. Pakoras proved too labor intensive.
Vermicelli pudding, an Afghan play on rice pudding, is the only house-made dessert. Sadly, Doust was sold out during my visit. Apparently sweets are popular in Radiator Springs.

First time ever trying Gumbo (vegan version), a stew that is widely popular in Louisiana, US, and immediately it had earned itself a place in the menu of my next house party. This dish is above all the vegan food my husband and I had ever made. 4 hours of simmering creates a dark roux that is so hearty, so rich and thick, almost like a gravy but with a lot of bite. It has so much umami that the stew tastes meaty without having any meat in it.
This dish is great not only because it tastes good, but also because it has so many variations in both cooking techniques and ingredients, so you are not stuck with one way of cooking it. This stew is a melting pot of different culture- it combines ingredients and culinary practices of several cultures, including French, Spanish, German, West African, and Choctaw. Depending on the culture you get a different gumbo version.
For us, we just worked with whatever stalk veggies we had in the fridge, without following any specific recipe from any specific culture. Do stick with stalk vegetables tho ( no leafy veggie) because they give you the strongest flavour and cut them into larger chunks for more bite. We also added beer and threw in some vegan meatballs we bought from ikea.
In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over MEDIUM-HIGH heat. Add onions, carrots, celery, garlic and sauté for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In another cooking pot, make roux:
Over MEDIUM heat, melt margarine and gradually add flour, stirring constantly to form a smooth paste. Add spices, Tabasco and salt (if using). Gradually add vegetable soup stock and beer, stirring constantly. Cover and cook over MEDIUM-HIGH heat until slightly thickened, about 5-8 minutes.
Combine the veggie and the soup and cook on Medium for 4-6 hours or longer. Adding fast cook veggies like okra / bell peppers/vegan meatballs, etc for last 30-45 minutes of cooking time ( on med-high).

- Power350 hp at 6,000 rpm
- Torque460 Nm at 2,500-4,500 rpm
- Acceleration 0-60 mph5.6 sec.
- Gearbox6-speed, manual

Originally delivered new in Sweden and registered there on the 20th of December 2010. Basically never driven though, which tradition continued as the car was sold to a Danish collector in 2015.
This rare Focus RS500 (no. 361 out of 500) therefore today presents as a new car: Still with only 25 kilometers on the odometer and the look, smell and feel of new car all over.
A very rare opportunity for a collector. Or indeed for an Focus RS500-enthusiast who wants a new example of a car that went out of production as the last of the 500 was built.
About the model:
In March 2010, Ford introduced a special model of the Ford Focus called RS500 at the Leipzig Auto Mobil International exhibition. The intention was to produce only 500 numbered examples of this model.
Like the Focus RS, the RS500 was only available as a three-door version. The only difference to the exterior was the colour, which was matte black. However, the colour was not paint; it was a special foil film produced by 3M. The bodywork under this film was painted Panther Black metallic.
The interior featured RS500 Recaro bucket seats, covered in a black Alcantara-smooth leather mix. Extras included a navigation system with touchscreen and red leather sports seats, also from Recaro.
The engine was based on the engine from the Focus RS, which again was modified. In the RS500 it had a larger intercooler, enabling a higher compression ratio, a modified air filter and a different fuel pump, producing an output of 257 kW (350 hp). Torque also increased to 460 Nm.
Each RS500 carries a metal plaque on the centre console, hand-engraved with a unique identification number from 001 to 500.

Much legend and mystery surrounds John Henry – the man that raced an engine and won. How do you separate fact from fiction? Many songs were written about John Henry over the years and how he was able to dig out more rock than a machine.
Ain’t Nothing But a Man: My Quest to Find the Real John Henry by Scott Reynolds Nelson tries to dig beneath the surface and reexamines old documents and ideas to determine if the current thinking on who John Henry was, is based more on legend than on reality. Could the real John Henry have actually been in prison and part of a work gang hired out to work for the railroad company? And if so, how did he die? Was it really right after winning against the machine? Looking at the many songs that were written about this man, the author is able to uncover some possible truths about who John Henry really was, and what happened to him.
This was a super fast read, but I wish more description had been given to the actual method for going through the rock and also how the machine worked. It was a short book and I wanted more!

Below are unedited extracts from last week’s debate at NSW Parliament House between the federal Attorney-General Philip Ruddock and Shadow Attorney-General Nicola Roxon. Here, each answer Law Council of Australia president Stephen Southwood QC’s question about the possibility of a Bill of Rights for this country
Stephen Southwood QC’s question to Nicola Roxon, then asked of the Attorney-General
Should Australia have a Bill of Rights? If Australia doesn’t have a Bill of Rights are we in danger of falling behind the jurisprudence of other countries? Would a Labor government refer the question of a Bill of Rights to the Law Reform Commission?
We don’t have a current plan to have a Bill of Rights. It has been a long standing aspiration of many in the Labor party that we at some point in the future might be able to. We are realistic about the way constitutional reform happens in this country and, to be frank, we have a lot of repair work to do in the human rights area in actually bringing the community along with us after we’ve really spent eight years of having human rights talked down and dismissed.
So I think that there is plenty of opportunity in the future. I think that what has happened in the ACT provides us with a little bit of an experiment to see what happens when you have a legislative Bill of Rights. Certainly that is something that could be considered in the future but our immediate priorities are actually to restore human rights to a topic of interest and debate within the community and then to be able to work to make sure our discrimination laws are healthy and in place, that HREOC is restored to the independence that it deserves and a range of other backward changes that have been introduced by the current government are undone, including introducing age discrimination with a much weaker test than for every ground of discrimination and others.
So I think we have to be realistic that the community has never been very enthusiastic about a Bill of Rights, that we have some obligation to lead a debate on this issue, but that we have a lot of repair work that must be prioritised to be able to then have a healthy debate about where we might go some time in the future.
Well, the first point I would make is I think human rights are best protected by ensuring the existing mechanisms that we have in place work effectively by educating the community about human rights and responsibilities. We do have strong institutions, democratic institutions, the constitution of common law, a range of legislative measures including anti-discrimination legislation on a Commonwealth level that do promote and protect human rights.
We don’t support a Bill of Rights. We think it would engender unnecessary litigation to try and determine outcomes. And I think if you look at some of the arguments that Bob Carr has put, and it might be useful to note them. He argued a Bill of Rights introduced in Australia in 1901 would have most likely enshrined the White Australia policy. The Bill of Rights in the United States enshrined the right to bear arms.
In other words, Bills of Rights tend to become inflexible instruments, incapable of change and very often reflect the mores of the time, and not a mores [sic] that is developing for the better.

How Driveline Gets Results
Good pitchers share some characteristics.
Throw hard enough.
Throw quality pitches for strikes.
Be strong and mobile.
Compete your tail off.
Pitchers who do that have long careers. We train them all simultaneously in a tightly integrated fashion. Our pitching program is built to help athletes do all of them better.
What is Driveline Baseball All About?
The Driveline Pitching Program uses weighted balls, max effort and submaximal throwing, including plenty of warm-up and recovery to train pitchers who succeed at the next level.
Throughout your career, your goals as a pitcher change — and the Driveline protocol will change right along with you.
Ready for velocity training that works? Get ready to work.
A Day in the Life of a Driveline Athlete
The Driveline Pitching Program is more than just velocity development. From morning to night, we followed a Driveline athlete as he showed us a typical training day at the gym, as well as the mentality of moving to Seattle for an extended period of time.
RISK-ADJUSTED PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT
Matt began doing Driveline’s pitching program at Oregon State. Beginning in 2015, he worked at our facility to add velocity, ending in his call-up to the Majors. Before the 2016 season he worked to maintain his velocity and add a slider to his pitch mix. See more here.
Christian came to us in 2014 throwing in the mid-80’s. He opted to leave college to dedicate his time training with us for a year, eventually getting his velocity up to 91-95 mph and was drafted by the Indians in the 29th round. Read more here.
Dan used the 2015-2016 offseason to regain his pitching velocity to allow his secondary pitches to play up. We used weighted baseballs, PlyoCare throwing and pitch analysis in his pitching program. In 2016, he had one of the best years in his career. Read more here.
Post-Injury Return To Performance
Casey came to us following two elbow surgeries and a drastic loss of velocity. He was cut in Spring Training throwing 88 mph. Over the course of several months, Casey regained his fastball velocity and improved his command. In 2015-16, he pitched at 96-98, touching 100 with a much-improved walk rate. Read more here and here.
Trey trained with us following shoulder surgery rehab and his release. During a high-intent throwing screen, he barely touched 88 from a crow hop. He spent several months regaining shoulder fitness and remapping his arm action. He sat 95 mph in indoor bullpens and signed at the end of the off-season. See more here.
Trevor has worked with us at various times since 2013 to improve his mechanical patterns. The focus of much of his work here recently has been to iteratively develop his pitch mix, specifically developing a new two seam fastball dubbed as the “Laminar Express”. Read more here.
Caleb approached us in 2013 to work on developing velocity by changing his arm path. With improved, sustained velocity, Caleb made his Major League debut in 2015. Caleb’s plan shifted to maintaining that velocity and developing a better curveball. Read more here.
Tony came to work with us immediately after the 2016 season. The main focus of Tony’s visit was to develop some sort of off-speed pitch that tunnels well with his 95mph+ fastball. Through high-speed camera work coupled with TrackMan data, Tony better refined his splitter and developed the cutter that you see today. Read more here.
Brandon came to us in the 2016-2017 offseason wanting to get a general assessment of his throwing mechanics and better refinement of his pitches. Through the immediate feedback from our high-speed camera and TrackMan data, Brandon was able to make quick adjustments to each pitch.
I was trying to choose between a lot of pitching programs. When it came time to make a decision I thought about it like this, [other pitching coach] knows the program works. Kyle knows the program works and knows why it works. And that’s why I chose to train at Driveline.
“Kyle’s understanding of what movement patterns and training modalities lead to a healthy and durable pitcher is truly world class”
What Are the Facets of the Driveline Pitching Program?
Our throwing training modulates three key training periods by intent and uses a mix of training tools, fit your dedication levels and time of year.
- Training Days
- Velocity: Throw the hell out of the ball and learn that throwing hard means understanding how to sequence your body.
- Hybrid: Learn to throw and change your pitching mechanics. These days blend elements of command, velocity, efficiency.
- Recovery: Prepare for the heavy training days that lie ahead of you with an easy, low impact day.
- Training Tools
- Warm-up and Recovery: Learn to prepare yourself to train and recover from your work that day to get ready for tomorrow. Serious athletes take warm-up and recovery seriously — and it is well over 50% of our program.
- Weighted Balls: Overload and underload ball throwing helps both passively remap mechanics and recruit the ability to throw harder.
- Long Toss: Catch play of all types helps you transfer PlyoCare throws to a baseball-specific context
- Mound Work: Pitching to a Trackman unit in a competitive environment with 25 eyes on you is simply a better environment to throw hard and spot up in.
Strength Training and Analysis
Strength training is integrated into our throwing program. We optimize for rotational power, speed-strength, and transferable results to the mound.
- Free Weight Training
From conventional strength training to explosive constraint-led training, free weights are the foundation of our program. Building a good foundation of general strength complements and improves the throwing-specific work.
- Specialized Training
- Keiser Training: Gas-operated machines to develop rotational power, Keiser training is the gold standard in MLB weight rooms for both power development and rehab work.
- Sprint/Impulse Training: Elite athletes know how to move fast well. Our programs are front-loaded with explosive movement preparation and mixed with pure speed development depending on your strength levels.
- Isometric/Eccentric Training: Often neglected in conventional baseball training programs, eccentric and isometric training improve durability of our athletes.
Pitch Design and Analysis
With a Trackman and synced high-speed cameras, we set specific metrics for how you would like a certain pitch to behave then iterate on it, until you can repeat it.
Trackman, combined with our own in-house analysis tools, helps you understand if certain pitches in your mix are being over- or under-utilized based on how those pitches compare with other elite pitches of the same type.
- High Speed Video
Driveline utilizes our two Edgertronic cameras that shoot up to 17,000 frames a second to iteratively build better pitches. Analyzing, frame by frame, how a certain pitch comes out of the hand and the flight of the ball, gives both the athlete and trainer a clear visual on how to improve that pitch. Combined with spin rate and velocity data from Trackman, you can rapidly improve your pitch mix.
Who Is A Good Fit for a Driveline Pitching Program?
Individual responsibility is incredibly important at Driveline Baseball.
We at Driveline Baseball collect as much data on your throwing biomechanics and results as we possibly can.
Our trainers learn about you and can put together a risk-adjusted pitching program to help you become the athlete you want to be.
Driveline helps pitchers become independent by giving you access to your performance data and educating you on how to think about it.
- We train serious athletes who do not need to be reminded to consume sufficient protein, get enough sleep, or come in on time.
- It is your responsibility to not throw at high intent on your recovery days simply “because you feel good.”
- It is your responsibility to sign up for sessions that fit within your schedule.
- It is your responsibility to partake in the free supplements provided to optimize your nutrition and hydration levels.
- Driveline does not strive to create a relationship where the athlete is codependent on us as a coach. We seek to be a bridge for dedicated athletes to learn how to own their careers and their results.
+ YOUR HOME
This Is Not for Everyone
Simple answers are for internet gurus who make promises of 10 mph in 10 weeks.
You can expect us to test everything we present you with and hold ourselves to the standard of being the best pitching training program. Athletes fly from all over the country and work terrible jobs to train here for months at a time.
We don’t guarantee results. Most who train here get better, although some do not. We work every day to ensure that our athletes get better results, but we do not offer a silver bullet. If you are comfortable with the risk and work required to get better, we want to help you train.
Training at Driveline Baseball requires a mind willing to think and not blindly accept answers handed down from a coach who “knows everything.” Trainers at Driveline Baseball will be the first to tell you if they don’t know, because complexity and unknown factors are things we embrace.

With the rapid development of infrastructure construction, the speed of road and bridge construction are increasing day by day. In the construction of bridges, the application of bridge girder erecting machine has greatly accelerated the efficiency of bridge construction and it has been widely used all over the world.
At about 8:30 am on July 21, 2018, a construction accident occurred at the construction site near Jiuyi Port on the Hutong Yangtze River Bridge (Xitong Expressway Section). The bridge erecting machine fell during the driving process and the seven T-beams fell together. Witnesses reported that there were 5 people on the site at the time, two people fell, one person died on the spot, one person was injured in the leg and sent to the hospital, and the other three were safe.
With the development of railways and highways, the use of bridge girder erecting machines has become increasingly frequent, and such bridge girder erecting machine overturning accidents occur occasionally. Derailment and overturning of the bridge erecting machine often bring about serious consequences. In the event of an accident, not only the repair of the bridge erection machine takes a long time and a lot of money, but also seriously affects the progress of bridge erection and railway construction.
The bridge girder erecting machine belongs to large and complex equipment which has many operations. The failure of a key part of the bridging erecting machine or the failure of a key operation may lead to overturning accident of bridge erecting machine. In addition, the bridge erection machine needs to hang the beam piece through the bridge subgrade, the center of gravity is very high when walking, and the axle weight is very large, which is prone to overturning.
Through the use of the inclination sensor attitude measurement and monitoring technology, the running attitude of the bridge erecting machine can be monitored in real time to ensure the overall stable operation of the bridge erecting machine. If abnormal tilt or swing occurs during driving, the inclination sensor can quickly detect the abnormality and feedback the situation to the bridge erecting machine control system in real time. The display equipment can let the bridge erecting machine operation and maintenance personnel know the situation in time and take effective measures to prevent problems before they happen. In the attitude monitoring application of the bridge erecting machine, the measurement accuracy and stability of the tilt sensor are very high. The SST400 high-precision digital inclinometer independently designed and developed by Vigor Technology can fully meet the practical application requirements of the bridge erecting machine.
Vigor Technology SST400 is a high-accuracy MEMS inclinometer has a maximum static accuracy of ±5" and a temperature stability of 0.0006°/°C@-20~65°C. It is ideal for outdoor attitude measurement where strict static accuracy is required. The SST400 is used as the core to construct the attitude monitoring system, which can monitor the running attitude of the bridge erecting machine in real time. When the equipment is in an abnormal posture, the real-time feedback warning and corrective measures are taken to ensure the safety of the equipment. Compared with the similar static inclinometers on the market, SST400 inclinometer has more tests, corrections and compensations for temperature and sensitivity drift characteristics, full-range nonlinearity, horizontal axis error, and inter-axis coupling in the design and production process which ensures superior working performance of SST400.
For the field of engineering machinery, the working conditions are not completely static, and the vibration signal is applied to the sensitive axis of the sensor, which will cause certain measurement errors. The patented vibration suppression technology of Vigor Technology can effectively eliminate the unwanted vibration signal and adjust the filtering parameters online to adapt to different Vibrating conditions and maximize the true attitude of the equipment.
The SST400 tilt sensor can be installed at the front, middle and tail ends of the arm respectively. When the tilt measurement of the bridge erecting machine exceeds the specified value, the monitoring system will alarm in time, and the brake system will implement emergency braking to avoid the overturning accident of the bridge erecting machine.

Today we're going to make a delicious nori & wasabi buñuelo amuse. We then are going to fill it with avocado and top it off with furikake powder, a lime gel and a wasabi cream. All great recipes, so enjoy guys!
The wasabi crème
Pour the neutral oil into a blender. Now chop the chives and add it to the oil. Blender this till the oil is 65 degrees Celsius. It will heat up from the friction. Then pour it on a sieve that’s laid with a kitchen paper and let it drain in your fridge for a couple of hours. After that pour the egg white into a blender together with the ice, the wasabi paste, the salt, the sushi vinegar and the chives oil that we just made. Emulsify this till you have a smooth and silky cream.
The lime gel
limes (150 grams of juice)
Chop the limes in half and juice them for 150 grams of juice. Then also add the water, the ginger syrup, the sugar, the agar powder and the gellan powder. Now mix it well and then bring it to a boil for one minute. Then pour it into a bowl and let it cool down in your fridge. Once it’s chilled transfer it into a blender and blend it till smooth.
Cut one in half, twist it open and remove the seed. Then scoop the meat out using a spoon and press it through a spider. Now add the zest from a quarter of a lime. Then cut it in half and add a touch of lime juice. Also add a touch of salt and some pepper. Now mix it well.
The sesame seeds
Transfer some sesame seeds on a tray and toast them at 160 degrees Celsius till golden. After that let it cool down and then transfer it into a bowl.
nori flakes or chopped nori
Pour the chicken stock into a bowl together with the nori flakes or chopped nori, the wasabi paste, the flour, the salt, the egg and the sesame oil. Then blend this with a hand blender till completely smooth. You can also do this in a blender. Now heat up a sauce pan filled with neutral oil till it’s 170 degrees Celsius. Then also let the buñuelo mold heat up for a couple of minutes. Once it’s hot press it quickly in the batter and then back into the oil. Fry it until almost no more bubbles appear and then keep it on some kitchen paper for later. Then transfer some furikake into a blender and blend this into fine powder.
How to finish the amuse
First fill the bottom on the buñuelo with the avocado. Then turn it around and dust a proper amount of the furikake powder on top. After that transfer it onto the sesame seeds and pipe five dots of the wasabi cream and 5 dots of the lime gel on top. Now decorate it with some winter purslane and then it’s ready to be served!

FIFO culture killing rural towns: KatterPUBLISHED: 20 Feb 2012 18:00:26 | UPDATED: 20 Feb 2012 18:00:26PRINT EDITION: 20 Feb 2012
The practice of flying in and flying out workers to remote mining sites is destroying the economic and social fabric of rural communities, federal MP Bob Katter says.
In a submission to the House of Representatives inquiry into the use of fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) workers, Mr Katter said the practice also has a significant human cost.
"Long absences of a parent takes a significant toll on families, particularly children, and on the FIFO workers themselves, who suffer from the isolation from family and friends," he said.
"Some assert family breakdowns are ultimately inevitable."
Mr Katter said local businesses, real estate prices, tourism and local infrastructure were all adversely affected in towns with high levels of FIFO workers.
"The prevalence of so-called fly-in, fly-out staff ... is unequivocally destroying the social and economic fabric of the very communities which governments rely on to derive much of this nation's wealth," he said.
He said successive governments had failed to address the challenges presented by mining companies using FIFO workers – who account for around half of the mining workforce.
Mr Katter said Australia's tax system should be changed to create incentives for mining workers to be permanently based in smaller towns.
He said mining companies should be compelled to use local workers, while governments should return at least 20 per cent of mining royalties to the regions in which they were earned.
Mr Katter will present his submission to the committee in Cairns on Tuesday.

This mousepad is a recreation of a painting of a Trans Caribbean Airways DC8 by the artist Rick Broome.
Trans Caribbean Airways was a United States airline owned by O. Roy Chalk. Its hub was San Juan, Puerto Rico. Founded in 1945, it was acquired by American Airlines in 1971. Its headquarters was located in Midtown Manhattan, New York City.
The main headquarters for Trans Caribbean Airways was in New York for most of the time until it was acquired by American Airlines on March 3, 1971. There was a building in San Juan that was owned by TCA and has a full wall done in tile with the TCA logo.
The female flight attendants wore an unusual uniform hat for a U.S. carrier; it was supposed to be a copy of the Spanish Cordobes hat the color Blue trim in Aqua. It represented the Spanish influence of the Caribbean islands. The uniform was designed by Mrs. O. Roy Chalk, wife of the owner. The last paint job on the tail of the aircraft was a navy blue with an orange palm tree.
At the time of its acquisition by American Airlines, Trans Caribbean was operating a small fleet of Douglas DC-8 and Boeing 727 jetliners.
