(Srinivasa K. Rao, Ph.D.)
PM Modi suggested taking up a project with Big Impact on India when we discussed malnutrition in 2010 — Million Tons of Quinoa can do it!
Malnutrition, diabetes, and obesity-related diseases are increasing In India. It is due to a lack of consumption of nutritious food. Foods with more protein, fiber, minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and health-promoting factors like flavonoids are the need of the hour. Quinoa is a staple food staple that fits the nutritional parameters for food-of-the-moment.
Rice and Wheat Consumption & Production in India
Humans have 20 grains to consume as staple foods. A staple is food eaten often and in such quantities that it constitutes a dominant portion of a standard diet for a given person or group, supplying a significant fraction of energy needs. As there are significant changes in the lifestyle of people both in urban and rural due to the mechanization of various activities, calorie requirement is less, and the need for nutrients needed for better health is rising. Micronutrient deficiency, also known as hidden hunger, is a significant health problem in the country. Therefore, there is an urgent need to cultivate new grains that can be used as a staple food with better nutrient profiles.
What is Quinoa?
Quinoa is a seed of the plant Chenopodium quinoa and is spinach’s close cousin. According to FAO, there are 7,000 edible plants. However, up to 150 crops are cultivated commercially. Only three main crops, rice, maize, and wheat, provide 60% of the world’s food energy intake. Many edible plant species are ‘Neglected and Underutilized Species (NUS). Quinoa is one of them! Quinoa has been cultivated in South America for more than 7,000 years. Colonization by Europeans suppressed the crop. But two scientists, Dr. Greg Schlick and Dr. David L Bubenheim, NASA, USA, published that “quinoa has desirable food qualities for long-term space missions — high protein and desirable amino acid composition.” The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) declared 2013 as the International Year of Quinoa as a recognition of the “crop’s resilience, adaptability and its potential contribution in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.” FAO hopes Quinoa can boost food security and provide economic growth to small-scale farmers as the crop does not demand much soil fertility, water, and labor.
Quinoa, Wheat & Rice: Nutritive values
Quinoa’s average protein content (> 13%) surpasses that of wheat (12%) and rice (8%). It has high-quality protein and well-balanced amino acids with vitamins and minerals, particularly iron. Quinoa is gluten-free and suitable for people with digestive disorders. Dr. AA Dixit, Columbia University, New York, reported that “quinoa replacement with one serving of white rice in diet can prevent obesity and cardiovascular disease.” It can be consumed like a staple food, replacing wheat or rice, unlike other protein-rich foods.
A million Tons of Quinoa in India by 2025
Quinoa production in India is at a nascent stage, with less than 20,000 tons per year. Large-scale farming can be encouraged if appropriate R&D is taken to improve seed quality and yield and establish pest-resistant varieties. India has 6.727 million hectares of salt-affected lands based on the NRSA and Associates 1996 data. C. quinoa grows well under moderate salt stress (one hundred–200 mM of NaCl) and can withstand a concentration of 400 mM of NaCl. If some of these lands are brought under quinoa cultivation, India can produce more than a million tons of Quinoa per year. Then India can meet not only the country’s needs but also export.
Big-Impact Project To Reduce Malnutrition
In 2010, PM Shri Narendra Modi was the chief minister of Gujarat. At that time, he had asked me to take up a project with a Big Impact on India when we discussed the malnutrition situation in India in our meeting in 2010 at his residence in Gandhinagar. In the following two years, I researched whether Quinoa could be a big-impact project to reduce malnutrition and improve health in India. Several students and researchers in India, Bolivia, and The Netherlands helped me to realize that Quinoa can! Also, with experienced agricultural and nutritional researchers, I proposed an Indian Quinoa Research Center to the governments of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Ladakh. In parallel, I started cultivating Quinoa in 2012 at Araku Valley. After a few years of cultivation, I visited Bolivia and learned how to process the grain for ready-to-cook. We have successfully launched Dr. Quinoa Brand. This brand is instrumental in bringing the price from Rs.1200 per kilo to Rs.200. I published a book on Quinoa Nutrition & Health Benefits. I made it available for free download to encourage people to adopt o quinoa. I showed that Quinoa could replace rice in all the rice-based recipes. We published the Quinoa Cookbook and made it available for free download. I have been consuming Quinoa as the main staple for the past 12 years. Quinoa farming in India has some teething problems, and if they are addressed well, India can have Quinoa at a very affordable price. Once Quinoa is made affordable to everyone, like rice, its benefits can be seen as reducing malnutrition, obesity, diabetes, and the related disease burden in India. If this approach is adopted for several other crops that are neglected or underutilized healthy India vision can be fulfilled by Indian Agriculture!

After reading both readings by Amelia Jones, I was extremely intrigued by performance art. To start off, performance art is something that I have never heard of before, nor considered to be within the realms of “normal art.” With that said, the idea that making something come alive, reproducing a production and engaging viewers into the actual performance is thrilling and ultimately very interesting.
Marina is an ideal example who uses performance in her work of art. Specifically on page 561, Marina states “When people see performers, they always try to make a hero out of you, always try to glorify you or make you this icon, which actually you can’t live up to. But in my work, I’m just showing everything that is imperfect” (561). This exact quote from Marina stood out to me for a couple of reasons and allowed me to understand her type of performance art in a more clear way. As said, when watching a production, there is a preconceived and expected connotation that there is supposed to display someone being a hero and ending with a happy note. Marina, within her work, attempts to go against these exact norms by using the negatives in her life in order to produce her work and show everyone that everything isn’t perfect. Therefore, this additionally correlates to the idea of performance art in itself. If one can go back and edit their previous performances until they display what they want to display, there is a sense of showing that a production is not perfect. That is where the line of documentation and performance separate. As Marina says on page 564, “Documentation will never replace live performance” (564). Evidently, even though documentation somewhat falls under the category of performance, performance art is a type of production that can take on different environments, different people and be re-created multiple times.

Michael Madon ’94 likes to say he grew up on an island: Manhattan Island. His path has taken him to Kyrgyzstan as a Peace Corps volunteer, over 20 years in the U.S. Army in Iraq and Kuwait, to the U.S. Treasury Department as a senior leader, and to founding a successful cybersecurity training business in the private sector Company acquired by Mimecast. At the beginning of 2022, he has climbed to the top of the proverbial ladder, but something is still getting away from him.
That was an opportunity to combine his Cornell English degree (passion for the human story), his Wharton MBA (business acumen), his military training (empirical identification and risk mitigation), and his technical expertise Combine to create something new. He said something came upon him like lightning.
He founded a startup that uses wearable technology to track people in recovery and connect them to a support network of caregivers and loved ones.

A cake fit for a king: Roscón de Reyes
Our recipe for a perfect roscón
Yesterday I shared with you a bit of history about the cake that we make for Día de Reyes, or Three Kings Day…it’s called the Roscón de Reyes. Today you can have the recipe! This is similar to the one that you can taste at Jaleo and Mercado Little Spain, but you can make it your own by changing up the decoration, or using a different fruit peel if you like, or skipping the orange blossom water, or adding a little more rum (hey, why not?), or putting in kings or queens or princesses or babies or legos or Star Wars figurines…just don’t forget to tell the people enjoying your cake to eat carefully…you don’t want them to bite down and lose a tooth! And if you put in a bean, maybe your rule can be that whoever gets it will have to MAKE next year’s cake…so you can share the recipe with them, too!

“Yaneura no Rudger” The Imaginary: Studio Ponoc Announces New Film
Studio Ponoc has given fans a taste of what's to come, rolling out a trailer for its upcoming animated film, an adaptation of the novel "The Imaginary" by AF Harrold and Emily Gravett. The film will star Kokoro Terada as Rudger and Rio Suzuki as Amanda, accompanied by an all-star cast that includes Sakura Ando, Riisa Naka and Takayuki Yamada.
The film, titled “Yaneura no Rudger” (translated as “Rudger in the Attic”), is scheduled for release in Japan on December 15th. The production was originally scheduled for the summer of 2022, but was postponed due to some difficulties related to production methodologies and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the helm of the project we find Yoshiyuki Momose, known for his work on “Life Ain't Gonna Lose” and other projects of Studio Ponoc. The film is produced by Yoshiaki Nishimura, who has a long-standing relationship with Studio Ghibli and other Studio Ponoc films.
The original novel, published by Bloomsbury Publishing in 2001, tells the story of Rudger, Amanda Shuffleup's imaginary friend. Rudger remains invisible to the world until the arrival of the fearsome Mr. Bunting, a hunter of imaginary beings, taking the plot in an unexpected and poignant direction.
While we await further details on the film and the promised English voice cast from Studio Ponoc, “Yaneura no Rudger” is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases of the year in the Japanese animation scene.


AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, 72, had a net worth of $6 million at the time of his death on Aug. 5. What is Trumka best known for?
As the head of the country’s most powerful labor organization, Trumka’s estimated gross salary was about $286,299. How did he accumulate his net worth?
Trumka died of a heart attack this week while on a camping trip with his family, The New York Times reported. Upon the news of his death, many labor leaders and politicians remembered him as a champion of working people and worker’s rights.
“Rich Trumka devoted his life to working people, from his early days as president of the United Mine Workers of America to his unparalleled leadership as the voice of America’s labor movement. He was a relentless champion of workers’ rights, workplace safety, worker-centered trade, democracy, and so much more," AFL-CIO Communications Director Tim Schlittner said in a statement.
Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer praised Trumka and said, “The working people of America have lost a fierce warrior at a time when we needed him most."
Trumka was a known supporter of Democrats and critical of Republicans. As a close ally of President Joe Biden’s administration, he helped promote Biden’s infrastructure bill and the Democrat-backed voting right bill, CNN reports.
Richard Trumka started working in the coal mines at 19.
Trumka was born in Nemacolin, Pa. to his Italian American mother and Polish American father. When he was about 19 years old, he went to work in the coal mines alongside his father.
Trumka also continued his studies in college and he received a bachelor’s degree from Pennsylvania State University in 1971. He went on to get a law degree from the Villanova University School of Law.
With his law degree in hand, Trumka got a job as a staff attorney with the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA). After eight years, Trumka became president of the organization in 1982.
As UMWA president, Trumka led miners on several strikes for workers’ rights, including in 1989 against Pittson Coal Company and in 1993 against Peabody Coal.
In 1995, Trumka became the AFL-CIO secretary-treasurer, where he led the charge to create investment programs for the pension and benefit funds for the labor movement. He also chaired the organization’s Industrial Union Council, which focused on trade, health care, and labor law reform.
Trumka was elected as the AFL-CIO president in 2009, and he held that position until his death. He also took the role of president of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Trade Union Advisory Committee in 2010.
Esquire magazine named Trumka one of its Americans of the Year in 2011. In an interview with the magazine, Trumka talked about his dislike of corporate America and his support for Democrats’ plan to raise taxes on the rich.
"This is what we need — to be able to share the wealth more equitably. That's how the middle class was built, from '46 to '73, and that's how it should be built again. 'Cause the country isn't poor, the country's as rich as it ever was. Our wealth is just concentrated in the hands of very few. More people need to get a bigger share of what's being produced," Trumka said in the 2011 Esquire interview.
In 2018, Trumka was recognized for his dedication to worker’s rights when he was chosen as the first recipient of the World Peace Prize for Labor Leadership.
Who is Richard Trumka’s wife?
Trumka married Barbara Vidovich, a coal miner’s daughter, in 1982. The couple was still married at the time of Trumka’s death. The couple has one son, Richard Jr.

I adore tiramisu. The creamy layers are something straight out of a dream, light and airy and yet rich and decadent at the same time.
The main problem with tiramisu is the espresso. While delicious, caffeine and I aren’t so buddy-buddy, and even a few bites after dinner will ensure a sleepless night.
If you’re a caffeine wimp like I am, or maybe just don’t much like the bitter flavor of espresso, here’s your chance to enjoy tiramisu. I’ve replaced the coffee with a bright mixture of orange juice and orange marmalade, complimented with Grand Marnier liqueur and fresh orange zest folded into the filling.
It’s a festive take on an Italian classic. I mean, talk about a perfect holiday dessert!
The orange flavor is subtle, I’ll give you that. It doesn’t scream orange, rather, it whispers sweet nothings as it slides down your tongue. This tiramisu is what dreams are made of, or, more aptly, this tiramisu is basically made of dreams, with a hint of orange essence, a dusting of cocoa, and a cloud-like mascarpone filling, so light that you’ll wonder if you’re actually awake (reality check: you are, so eat up!)
Tiramisu is one of the easier desserts to prepare, it just seems more complicated than it really is (I promise!) There’s no baking, no boiling, no complicated chocolate or sugarwork. Honestly, if you’ve ever played with Lincoln Logs, you can make tiramisu.
When I’ve made it before, I made it more complicated than it needs to be because I was trying to make it without raw eggs (I was working on a cookie dough tiramisu for the Cookie Dough Lover’s Cookbook, and since the focus of the book is eliminating the raw eggs from the cookie dough, I thought putting that eggless dough in a dessert full of raw eggs seemed contradictory).
In reality though, I’ve nothing against raw eggs. I just recommend buying quality, local eggs from a trusted source, or, if you prefer, pasteurized whole eggs if you can find them. Then there is little to no worry of anyone getting sick from your dessert.
The easiest way to make this recipe is in a 13-by-9-inch baking pan.
But since I like to make things complicated, I assembled them in individual glasses that would really showcase the gorgeous layers. If you’d like to do the same, here’s a tip: use a round cookie cutter the same size as your glass or ramekin. Line up 2 or 3 ladyfingers together and use the cookie cutter to cut them to the exact size and shape you need, then dip and place in the bottom of your glass. It’s much easier than trying to cut and shave off the ends of the cookies to perfectly match the edges of a round glass.
I used this amazing Calabrian Citrus Marmalade from DeLallo Foods, which is made from a tart mix of oranges, clementines, and lemons. It’s seriously the best marmalade I’ve ever had.
In fact, when we were in Pittsburg visiting the original DeLallo store, they had a sampling table out with their Savoiardi ladyfinger cookies and this marmalade, and that’s what ultimately sparked the idea for this recipe.
Inspiration. It’s a mysterious thing, but when it strikes it consumes my every waking thought. Yes, I’ve been thinking about this tiramisu since September, and I’m so excited to finally have a chance to share it with you today. Because it’s that good.
Orange Marmalade Tiramisu
- 4 large eggs, separated*
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 16 ounces mascarpone cheese, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier liqueur
- 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
- 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade
- 2 (7 oz) package Savoiardi ladyfingers
- Bittersweet cocoa powder for sprinkling
- Line the bottom and sides of a 13-by-9-inch baking pan with plastic wrap. Alternatively, you can use two 5-by-9-inch bread pans, or 12 individual ramekins or glasses.
- In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the egg yolks and sugar on medium-high speed until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Add the grand marnier, mascarpone cheese, and orange zest and mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they hold medium peaks. Using a large rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the marsacrpone mixture.
- In a small saucepan, warm orange juice and marmalade until melted and smooth. Dip each ladyfinger cookie into the juice mixture for 3 seconds (no longer – you don’t want the cookies to be soggy), then arrange in the bottom of the lined pan, breaking them in half if necessary in order to fit. (Tip: if using individual ramekins or glasses, use a round cookie cutter the size of your dish to cut the ladyfingers to the proper size/shape).
- Spread half the mascarpone cheese mixture evenly over the layer of cookies. Dust with a layer of cocoa powder. Arrange another layer of dipped cookies on top, followed by remaining Mascarpone mixture and another dusting of cocoa.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set before serving.
*If you are uncomfortable consuming raw/undercooked eggs, we recommend purchasing pasteurized whole eggs for this recipe.

Shochu Japanese Liquor
Shochu is a Japanese distilled beverage that comes in different varieties: some varieties are made from rice, others from buckwheat, while other types of Shochu are made either from barley or from sweet potatoes. Shochu contains more alcohol than Umeshu (approximately 25%), which puts it somewhere between vodka and wine in terms of alcohol strength.
Brief History Of This Distilled Beverage
Nobody knows for sure when was Shochu created for the first time, but it is known that the beverage originated in Persia and it spread across India, Thailand and Europe – in the 16th century, it was brought to Japan as well. Initially, the drink was made from rice but as the years passed and as the rice shortages started to emerge, people started to make Shochu from other ingredients as well, such as sweet potatoes.
The flavor and aroma of the beverage can be slightly shifted during the maturation process, which can take up to six months. Long-term maturation, which can take up to three years, will give the Shochu a mellow taste, although it does not boost the flavor in any way – it is not uncommon for some people to mature the drink for up to ten years, in some cases.
How To Drink Shochu
Shochu is known for its nutty flavor, and it can be consumed in a variety of ways: you can drink it neat without any additional ingredients, you can pour it over several ice cubes in a glass, you can mix it with natural fruit juice or teas, you can dilute it with hot water if you want to turn it into a pleasant hot beverage for the winter (just like Umeshu) or you can mix it with a beer that has low alcohol content. Shochu is known as a very versatile beverage, which is why it can be consumed in so many ways.
Low Calorie Count
Shochu is known for having lower calories than other liquors.
In most cocktails, a 1.5-ounce serving of hard liquor adds about 100 calories per drink, and this is before any juice, tonic, or simple syrup is added. The same amount of shochu only adds about 30 calories, a savings of 70 calories per drink.
What Are The Different Types Of Shochu?
There are two types of Shochu: the singly distilled Shochu (usually made from sake lees, grain koji or potatoes) and there is the multiply distilled Shochu which is not filtered through charcoal. While the multiply distilled beverage has an alcohol content of around 35%, the single distilled Shochu can have up to 45% alcohol.
The multiply distilled beverage is made from grains or fruits that were allowed to germinate, and the beverage is created with the help of a special multiple-distillation machinery.
The singly distilled beverage, on the other hand, can even have brown sugar as its primary ingredient.


Tesco launches UK bacon promotion
TESCO launched a new bacon range this week which, the retailer claims, will boost to about 60% the proportion of bacon rashers it sources in Britain.
Previously, British bacon represented only about 30% of the supermarket chains sales of rashers. The country imports 70% of its bacon because, according to Tesco, the domestic market cannot satisfy market demand.
Ladies in Pigs (LIPs), an industry promotion body, will help Tesco launch its "Traditional" range over the next few weeks with tastings and demonstrations in selected stores. *


Germaine Greer: not everyone agrees with her – least of all Germaine Greer
The feminist academic and writer has been influential and infuriating in equal measure. And so she remains
Germaine Greer: unignorable, still combative and leading the conversation. Photograph: BBC
Who said this: “An awful lot of husbands enact a diurnal crime on the body of their wives everyday”? And who said this, about 30 years later: “Most rape is just lazy, just careless, insensitive”?
It is the same person who says of Beyoncé, “Why is she always gotta be f**king naked and have her tits hanging out?” before saying, about 30 seconds later, of her own celebrity nudity: “I’m not saying you have to keep your clothes on.”
The answer – as though you didn’t know already – is Germaine Greer, or, as this pop documentary has it, Germaine Bloody Greer (BBC Two, Saturday, 9pm).
Even before her groundbreaking The Female Eunuch, the Australian academic and writer had been influential and infuriating in equal measure. And so she remains.
These days every public utterance from this second-wave feminist becomes fodder for indignant responses by the third and forth – invariably published under headlines that begin, “No, Germaine Greer!”
Vocally dismissive of the revolutionary potential of the MeToo movement, (because, this doc suggests, she has seen the efforts of so many others atrophy) entirely sceptical (and wrong-headed) about the legitimacy of trans identities, Greer provokes passionate censure from progressives because they feel betrayed.
Yet she is unignorable, still combative and leading the conversation. You may not agree with Germaine, but Greer has always been germane.
The thing is, Greer doesn’t always agree with herself either. (“I wasn’t really a rock groupie,” says present-day Greer, entirely unswerving and self-assured. “I call myself a groupie,” says yesteryear Greer, entirely self-assured and unswerving.)
One of director Clare Beaven’s neatest devices is to have Greer watch herself, interviewed as a young writer, partly for the pleasure of seeing her admonish the male chauvinist interviewers afresh, but, I suspect, partly to see what she now makes of Germaine Greer.
“I’m not an icon, I’m a person,” the young Greer says at the documentary’s start, but the programme, built up in a media-blitzkrieg chronology, feminist sound bites and the advancing tides of pop music, doesn’t seem to agree.
Her life is extraordinary: born in Australia to a mother she now considers autistic, educated by “demented Irish nuns, all crazy and wonderful”, moving soon to Sydney, then Cambridge, and finally world fame.
Her personality is intoxicating: confident, attractive, provocative, fearsomely individualistic. No movement can quite claim her, though, because she won’t belong to any of them. The Female Eunuch is “one of the iconic books of the women’s liberation movement – of which it is not a part,” says Bea Campbell, an approver. Greer seems at home in the contradiction.
Shown an interview with Clive James, in which the young man suggests that Greer has burnished her own legend at the expense of her true self, she rightly points out that this is true of James. But she doesn’t reflect on its validity for her too.
This documentary, for instance, is an abundance of archive material, clips and interviews: no academic has enjoyed greater exposure because Greer gave so unstintingly of herself.
The alarm of the documentary, then, is to watch her now performing a kind of disappearing act. At home, on a rambling estate, some of her trees have been cut down – Chekhovian enough, but she is also unsentimentally giving away her book collection. Where will she live, Beaven asks. “I have no idea,” Greer says, unbothered.
There have always been two Germaine Greers, though, and if the person is fading, the icon is burning bright.

The local socialist lost the case for setting prisoners free, so they are moving on. Below is the latest email sent to every elected and appointed official with any power to hand out money. Note the writer wasn’t smart enough to put it in her own words, she copied and pasted the talking points instead:
May obviously didn’t watch the video with the PATH Director from the McLean County Board Executive Committee. Everything she is demanding is already available.
See the video here: https://blnnews.com/2020/04/14/facts-matter-socialists-another-jenn-fail/
Facts aren’t stopping Jeff Crabill and Tari Renner. See this WEEK story: https://week.com/2020/04/16/bloomington-council-member-wants-local-dollars-spent-to-ease-pandemics-economic-stress/
Refer back to the title of this story. The local socialists are attempting to pound your elected officials into handing your tax dollars to their friends.
The PATH director said in the video their biggest problem is finding the people who need help. They don’t have an advertising budget. As Alderman Joni Painter pointed out at the last meeting, the Council needs names so they can be referred to one of the many agencies with help available.
Unless the heads of these agencies appear before the Councils and say all available money has been exhausted, the socialists will prove facts don’t matter.
Send your thoughts to people on both Councils. These radicals are burying them with sob stories instead of directing the people crushed by this shutdown to organizations that can help.
Both Councils should demand Pritzker re-open the economy. His cure is destroying people and their futures. The longer this shutdown continues it is likely jobs won’t be available for these people to return to.

The vice-director of the United States division at Cuba's Foreign Ministry, Gustavo Machin, announced that Havana and Washington DC gave concrete steps towards a short-term accord to establish regular flights between the two countries.
Bill Clinton Celebrates Cuba-US Diplomatic Links
Cuba Insists on Putting an End to US Blockade
Dominican Deputies Received by Cuba Parliament Leader
This was one of the issues most advanced over the past months, said Machin following the second meeting of the US-Cuba Bilateral Commission on Tuesday, whose main objective was to define and follow up on issues related to the normalization of bilateral relations, Machin said as cited by PL news agency.
Though the negotiations on this issue have not yet concluded, the two governments paved the way to implement the important decision and what is left now is the coordination of details through diplomatic channels so that the airline companies implement the agreement, said the official.
Also addressed was the reestablishment of direct postal services and specific measures to protect the environment, among other issues. The commission also considered new exchanges on maritime security, law enforcement, climate change and the expansion of collaboration related to healthcare and the assistance to third nations in this field.
The two sides reiterated their willingness to expand talks on migration, trafficking in persons and on other issues of interest, Machin said. / CNA.

The issue of violence was addressed in “Albania Live” and the former competitor Margaret Shllaku showed the reasons why women rape men.
According to her, when women do not find support in the family or society, they find solutions in violence.
Margaret Shllaku: I think that in most cases it is a situation that is aggravated by men, but women seeing that the situation is at a critical moment, choose violence, not willingly at all. They do this when they find no support either in the family or in society.
I do not do it because I really think that violence is right, but I think that women do not find support either in the instances, or in the family or society, and by making it impossible, they perceive the situation and they turn all their pain into violence. I understand that may seem like an excuse, but it really is not.

SWALEC Cup holders Neath survived a mighty scare in their quarter-final with Cross Keys in Saturday's match at Pandy Park.
The cliché "a game of two halves" would aptly describe proceedings between Cross Keys and Neath.
Neath had stormed to a 29-5 half-time lead, scoring four tries, before Cross Keys ran in four of their own in the second period.
But Neath had done just enough, and the game ended with them 32-31 winners. That earned then semi-final tie against local rivals Swansea.
The Welsh All-Blacks ran in their first three tries - from second row Neil Edwards, winger David Evans and centre Luke Ford - within the first 20 minutes. Winger Kevin James added Neath's four try on the half-hour, before Cross Keys flanker Rhys Peebles pulled a one back just five minutes later.
But after the break, the Keys ran in four tries in the last ten minutes. Two tries came from winger Will Johnstone and with one each for replacements Stephen Woodward and James Egan. But it was not enough as Neath held on to secure the narrowest of victories.
Aberavon secured their passage into the semi-finals of the SWALEC Cup with a hard-fought 20-10 win over Newport, who crashed out at the quarter-final stage for the fourth time in five years. Aberavon will now face Llanelli in the semi-finals in three weeks time.
The away side dominated the opening exchanges and were unlucky not to score when captain Andrew Coombs lost control of the ball just yards from the line.
Aberavon absorbed the pressure and scored a breakaway try after 29 minutes when Chris Morgan ran half the length of the pitch and slipped a pass for Richard Thomas to run over.
Aberavon's defence resisted a Newport comeback and when wing Richard Carter went over despite a strong Martyn Thomas tackle the game was all but over.
Carter added insult to injury with his second try seven minutes later, before Tom Riley claimed a last minute consolation for the visitors.
Llanelli beat Glamorgan Wanderers 27-20, but neither a sending-off nor a late Wanderers comeback could stop Llanelli from booking their place in the semi-finals and a clash against Aberavon.
A try in each half for the Parc y Scarlets club was enough, with hooker Craig Hawkins going over with the first try in the 20th minute.
Straight from the restart, Glamorgan flanker Sam Warburton went up the other end to grab a try of his own, with the kicking of outside-halves Luke Richards and Scott Sneddon making it 18-13 to Llanelli at half-time.
The visitors then put themselves into the lead as centre Simon Rosser crossed on 45 minutes, before Llanelli full-back Dan Newton restored their advantage ten minutes later. The hosts had second row Dan Godfrey sent off with 12 minutes remaining, and survive a late surge from the Wanderers before Richards kicked a last minute penalty that saw the game end 27-20 in Llanelli's favour.
Swansea booked their place in the semi-finals with a huge 62-3 Win against the last remaining non-Premiership side in the competition.
With little to play for in the league, the three times champions will be relishing their semi-final with holders Neath.
Caerphilly, of division one east, matched their lofty opponents in the first twenty minutes, and held the lead after Codi Rees's fifth minute penalty.
The floodgates opened after 24 minutes when centre Micky Thomas ran over the line and three tries in ten minutes from Andrew Joy, Tim Evans, and Sam Kiely put the home side 22-3 up at half-time.
Caerphilly regained their defensive shape at the start of the second-half, but two tries either side of the hour mark from centre Mark Popham put the result beyond any doubt. Late scores from the superb Richard Kelly and Lee Bevan completed the rout.
James Dixon played a major part in the scoring with a personal haul of 15 points from six conversions and a penalty.
Wales Head Coach Rob Howley talks to WRU TV's Sebastian Barrett about the 36-man squad he has just named for the forthcoming Under Armour series, which includes two uncapped players, Ospreys duo Sam Davies and Rory Thornton.
Head coach Rowland Phillips is deligthed he can now call BT Sport Cardiff Arms Park home for his Wales Women's side, who launch their international season next month with games against Scotland and UK Armed Forces in the heart of the capital city.
Wales Sevens star Sam Cross has put his home town club of Brynmawr on the map after winning a silver medal at the Rio Olympics with Team GB. His club have now honoured him by naming their players bar after him, as WRU TV discovered at the official launch, recently.
One of the newest members of the Principality Premiership, Bargoed admit it's proving to be a steep learning curve at the highest level, but are determined to become a force to be reckoned with. WRU TV visited the club last weekend when they took on Llanelli.
Table-topping Aberavon travel to north Wales to tackle RGC 1404 as both teams defend unbeaten starts to the season in the Principality Premiership. WRU TV's Graeme Gillespie visited the Wizards to see how their preparations were going for the game of the weekend.
The Half a Game initiative is currently sweeping across Wales and proving a major success. The scheme aims to give every young player at least half a game every weekend. WRU TV recently visited a festival in Narberth where clubs have fully embraced the initiative.
Both Bargoed and Swansea were seeking their first win of the Principality Premiership season this afternoon. It proved a fruitful day for the hosts - not only did they win, but Bargoed claimed a try bonus point.
Cardiff managed to keep their unbeaten record at home intact, but only just as Bridgend made them work extremely hard before the Blue and Blacks secured a hard fought Principality Premiership win at the BT Sport Arms Park last night.
Former Wales back row Andy Powell gives a guided tour of The Wern, home of Merthyr RFC, who are determined to prove a lot of people wrong and make their mark in their first season in the Principality Premiership.


Hi guys. I'm new to this forum and to playing the flute. I've been taking lessons for about 3 or 4 weeks now and I'm loving it. I have a question about tuning my flute. I bought a tuner to help me keep it in tune. It seems that when I get it in tune in one register, its out of tune in another. I'm pushing the head joint in and pulling it out but I can't seem to find the sweet spot where the whole thing is in tune. I'm also rolling the flute in and out to try and find a spot where it sounds better but I just can't seem to find it. Is there anything else I can try? Could it be my flute itself? I bought a really cheap, new Hisonic flute (around $110)... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

A genius talent showed up on our doorstep and is playin’ music like no other. Come hear for yourself tonight…..
“magic writing, magic playing, magic album” ~ Billy Bragg on Spawn of the Beast
“We’ve heard few recent debuts as bold and provocative as Fionn O Lochlainn’s Spawn of the Beast. Not only does he demonstrate a knack for observant songwriting, but he’s an impressive guitarist and musters a vocal range that stretches from dry witticisms to power-crooning worthy of Jeff Buckley” Time Out New York City
Performing and recording artist Fionn O Lochlainn, born in England, raised by musician Father Ruan, to sing, play guitars, keys, drums, orchestrate strings, and self record his songs, also working with great talent in England such as Nigel Godrich to create materials that caught the attention of Perfect Songs Publishing…Arriving in America 2000 after signing major record deal with Universal Records, recording and living in the lower east side of Manhattan, working with Andy Wallace on his material, as well as playing residencies at The Knitting Factory and The Rockwood Music Hall.
His first album Spawn of the Beast gained much critical acclaim, leading him to play sell out shows at Joe’s Public Theater with standing ovations, sharing the stage with some of the finest musicians in America, also performing at CMJ and SXSW in 2007 and 2008. Due to a humanitarian narrative in Fionn’s music, he also got invited to perform at a peace conference with Howard Zinn at Great Hall of Cooper Union, being asked to speak on a panel. Successful performances also include Troubadour, Hotel Cafe and House of Blues in Los Angeles, as well as festivals across California, Nevada and Seattle. First years in USA were spent engrossed in recording and performing, so Fionn, greatly inspired by American culture, succumbed to a strong inclination to travel America with his guitar, in pursuit of cultural and social osmosis; gaining a wealth of experience to imbue within his second album, 3 Stripe Balloon, scheduled for release in summer of 2016.

Here are some pics of the hand sanitizer holders. Sorry for no pics of the brownies :( I found some perfect round/tall tins at Michaels that fit about 6-7 of the cookies. TFL.

Model No.: Lifan Auto Spare Parts
A piston of Lifan Auto Spare Parts draws air into the cylinder through an intake port. The intake valve closes and the air/fuel mixture compresses as the piston moves back up. Once the mixture is fully compressed, it is ignited and explodes forcing the piston down (this is known as the power stroke). An exhaust valve opens and the burned gases are expelled out of the cylinder as the piston moves back up to complete its cycle. This is different from a heart valve. A heart valve would be similar to a bicycle tire pump though. As the piston draws air into the air chamber,the valve opens to allow the air to fill the chamber. the piston then, changes direction and pushes that valve closed and opens another valve to allow the air to be pushed out the air line. The difference of pistons for Auto Spare Parts is in the valves. For Lifan 520 Parts, the OEM number 21LF479Q1-1004012A is the piston for Lifan 520.

Where I’m from, we like guns. They are as much a part of our story as Jesus, ‘Roll Tide,’ and monograms. Even if you’ve never shot one, you appreciate the romance.
Plott, who was shot while she was driving home at the age of 21, recounts her personal experience with gun violence and how it’s shaped her thinking about guns in the years that have followed. The piece not only shines light on how she felt getting shot, but it also delves in the complexities of what it means to be a gun owner in the South, and what she thinks Congress needs to be doing to curb gun violence.
Sometimes a friend would ask whether my feelings on gun rights had changed. I usually said “I don’t know,” and that was true. Knee-jerk calls for gun control didn’t resonate with me. Yet a reverence toward guns no longer felt right either.
I found my ambivalence unsettling. Everyone else seemed so sure about how to feel about guns—people on campus, on the internet, back home. Unlike most of them, I had made intimate acquaintance with gun violence. I should have had some special insight. If what had happened to me wasn’t fodder for clarity, I feared nothing ever would be.
Plott details how her ambiguity towards gun control began to shift after 2018’s school shooting in Parkland, Fla. It was then, that she began to ask the questions that so many in the South who “cling to their guns” are thinking: how can we stop the violence, but uphold the Second Amendment?
Plott has a few ideas, like age restrictions.
In all the times I’ve talked with GOP lawmakers about guns, why have they never mentioned that age restrictions are, for many conservatives, a worthwhile starting point? Better question: Do they even know?
…Lawmakers of both parties are alienating reasonable and responsible gun owners out of deference to extremists, sure. Acknowledging the ambiguities, the gray areas, of American attitudes toward guns—all the things that could make a gun-violence victim want to go shooting, or a firearms dealer decide to regulate his own shop—won’t solve this problem, or single-handedly stem gun deaths. But continuing to see things in the current terms pretty much guarantees that we’ll get nowhere.


If our eyes were fast enough to read a coin as it flips in the air, the sides might read "Hello" and "Good-bye." Yet, when it comes to the lives of people around us, this perspective is hard to come by. How is it that a teenager can express it so well?

Your last six modules will incorporate a project in which you describe and analyze a specific mental health need from practice or in a community. For the project, you will choose an individual or a community from your clinical or work setting with a mental health need and you will apply the principles of the nursing process toward recommending interventions for that individual or community. Examples of possible subjects include but are not limited to: A patient on a mental health unit A resident of a long term care facility A member of a group home The entire group home facility Several home care clients who share the same need Refugees from one country who settled in one neighborhood People with alcoholism lacking resources in their community People with schizophrenia in your city Remember that you’re not writing another typical nursing care plan, but identifying ONE particular need that is unmet for that individual or community. The final written assignment will be 5-6 pages (Not including cover page and references which should be in APA format) and will be due during Module 11. However, here is the suggested schedule for planning and completing your project on time: Module 06 Start thinking about your project. Did someone stand out during work or a clinical experience which drew your attention? Do you see an unmet need in your community?

Module 07 Continue Your Semester Project by writing a brief history of the patient including diagnoses and medications – or a brief description of the community issue. Module 08 Continue Semester Project by including any substance abuse, addiction or violence issues surrounding this mental health problem. Describe the attempted interventions that have been made for your patient or community, and identify what has been successful and what has not. Submit a rough draft of information gathered so far. Module 09 Continue Your Semester Project by describing your thoughts regarding your patient’s or community’s mental health issue. Are there any cognitive concerns? Think about interventions that may be helpful. Include sources for evidence-based practice. Module 10 Continue your Semester Project by listing appropriate nursing interventions for your chosen patient or community. How will you evaluate effectiveness? Include an evaluation tool or rubric. Module 11 Complete your Semester Project by identifying mental health resources that can be used for your chosen patient or community. Finish with an educational tool for your patient or community Module 10 Course Project – Semester Project Completion Scoring Rubric: Criteria Points Describes the patient that is the subject of the project including diagnoses, medications, and history OR describes the community, its strengths and problems and the mental health issue that will be the subject of the paper. 4 points Includes any substance abuse or violence issues for the patient or community 2 points Discusses attempted interventions, what has been successful and what has not. 4 points Describes own personal thoughts about the patient’s or community’s mental health issues. 4 points Describes any cognitive concerns and possible interventions. 2 points Writes a nursing care plan including three priority nursing diagnoses with r/t and AEB factors. 4 points Includes outcomes in NOC language and interventions in NIC language with a plan for evaluation. 4 points Identifies mental health resources that can be used with the patient or community.

One Christmas my Brazilian neighbor Celia brought over a plate of these creamy, sugar-coated dulce de leche balls. When I next saw her, I asked for the recipe and what they were called. She shrugged her shoulders, then said, "little bears, I guess". This is a simplified version of hers, which contained strained egg yolks and 'crema media' (half-and-half), but the results are just as delicious. Best of all, these are cooked and ready to shape within ten minutes of starting!
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
unsweetened cocoa powder
about 1/2 cup sugar, for rolling
Pour the sweetened condensed milk in an ungreased, very large microwave-safe bowl. Cover the top with plastic wrap to help avoid boilovers: this boils much higher than you would expect!, Microwave it for 2 minutes. Stir. Microwave for 2 more minutes. Stir, scraping sides down. Repeat in 2-minute intervals for a total of either 6 or 8 minutes, stirring every two minutes. It should thicken and darken some. To see if it has cooked enough, drop a little in a cupful of icy water, then pull out after about five seconds. However hard it gets is how hard it will be when completely cool. It needs to be able to hold its shape. Put the sugar in a cereal bowl and set aside.
With buttered hands, pinch off a bit and roll in a ball, about 3/4" across.To get the brown side, drop into unsweetened cocoa powder, then pick it up and drop it into the sugar. After you have a few in there, roll or toss to coat, then set on another dish.
Makes 30-36 balls, about 3/4" each.

The third annual Windsor Polar Plunge in support of Ontario Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics took place at St. Clair College on Thursday & Saturday, February 2 & 4, 2017.
We shot these photos of those brrr-ave enough to be Freezin’ for a Reason during the second plunge on Saturday, February 4, 2017.
Participant Laurie Makulski Harrison, founder of WE Put The WIN In Windsor, is a big supporter of local causes and dressed in her cowgirl costume took the plunge as tribute to her twin sister. “As a teenager, I grew up watching my twin sister participate in Special Olympics for over ten years. Attending these games taught me so much about compassion, empathy, and true displays of sportsmanship and instilled a love for Special Olympics that followed me throughout my adult life,” explains Harrison.
Like many who took the plunge freezing cold water didn’t stop participants from supporting this event. In fact, “the temperature of the water was indeed -1°C and a layer of ice, one inch thick in some spots, had to be removed before the plunge,” says Harrison.
The OLETR in partnership with St. Clair College Polar Plunge is a unique opportunity for individuals, organizations, and businesses to support Special Olympics Ontario athletes by gathering pledges and plunging into the icy waters for a cause.
Special Olympics Ontario provides individuals with an intellectual disability in communities across the province the opportunity to participate in sport and recreational activities. The organization has helped thousands of children and adults with intellectual disabilities become all they can be physically, socially and emotionally. Windsor-Essex has 120 athletes that compete in Special Olympics programs.
Update: Organizers of this event have announced this year’s event raised $54,000 for Special Olympics Ontario!

My Life as a Quant: Reflections on Physics and Finance
"Derman’s memoir of his transition from mathematical physicist to expert finance whiz at Goldman Sachs and Salomon Brothers reads like a novel, but tells a lot about brains applied to making money grow."
–Paul A. Samuelson, MIT, Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences, 1970
"Not only a delightful memoir, but one full of information, both about people and their enterprise. I never thought that I would be interested in quantitative financial analysis, but reading this book has been a fascinating education."
"This wonderful autobiography takes place in that special time when scientists discovered Wall Street and Wall Street discovered them. It is elegantly written by a gifted observer who was a pioneering member of the new profession of financial engineering, with an evident affection both for finance as a science and for the scientists who practice it. Derman’s portrait of how the academics brought their new financial science to the world of business and forever changed it and, especially, his descriptions of the late and extraordinary genius Fischer Black who became his mentor, reveal a surprising humanity where it might be least expected. Who should read this book? Anyone with a serious interest in finance and everyone who simply wants to enjoy a good read."
" … a deep and elegant exploration by a thinker who moved from the hardest of all sciences (physics) to the softest of the soft (finance). Derman is a different class of thinker; unlike most financial economists, he bears no physics envy and focuses on exploring the real intuitions behind the mechanisms themselves. In addition to stories and portraits, the book documents, in vivid detail, the methods of knowledge transfer. I know of no other book that bridges the two cultures. Finally, I am happy to discover that Derman has a third career: he is a writer."
"The quintessential quarky quant, Emanuel Derman has it all. Physicist, mathematician, philosopher, and poet blend together to produce a narrative that all financial engineers will find worth reading."

Brownlee's 2005-06 season included performances at Teatro Comunale Giuseppe Verdi in Trieste, the Hamburg State Opera, and the Baltimore Symphony. Next season, he will debut at Houston Grand Opera, the Opera Company of Philadelphia, and the Metropolitan Opera, where he will sing Almaviva in Il barbiere di Siviglia. His roles also include Don Ramiro in La Cenerentola, Tonio in La fille du r_giment, and Il Conte de Liebenskof in Il viaggio a Reims.
The winner of the Marian Anderson Award is chosen by a committee of experts from among singers nominated by opera executives, critics, and other music-industry figures. The selection committee this year included director Francesca Zambello, David DiChiera of Michigan Opera Theatre, Karen Keltner of San Diego Opera, Barbara Hocher of the Marilyn Horne Foundation, and conductor David Charles Abell. Francis Rizzo, an opera veteran who has worked at Washington Opera and the Wolf Trap Festival, is the chairman.

Kim’s a Mom! Reality Star Gives Birth Prematurely
Kim Kardashian, the star of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, has given birth to a baby girl this weeked, earlier than expected. Media reports have claimed the TV Queen gave birth at the Los Angeles Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Saturday.
A hospital source evidently told a newspaper that Kim felt ill and then had her baby five weeks early. It’s also being said that both mom and baby are doing just fine, though Kim’s daughter was placed in an incubator after the early hours delivery, ahead of the mid-July due date.
Another source says that Kim came down with an unspecified infection, and then the birth was induced via C-section. And it’s also been reported that the TV star’s boyfriend, rapper Kanye West, was at his fiancee’s side for the birth and that the new arrival, already jokingly being called Baby Kimye, looks just like her mom.
It was West who first spilled the beans about the pregnancy, during a concert in Atlantic City last December. It was officially confirmed just days later.
There are apparently even plans to take the new baby on the road this fall when Kanye goes on tour.
