Police are appealing for the public’s help to identify two men wanted in connection with a robbery in Hindley.
Shortly after 9pm on Monday 25 September 2017, police were called to the Premier shop on Sandy Lane in Hindley to reports that two men had entered the shop, threatened staff with a knife and a hammer and stole cash and cigarettes.
Police launched an investigation however the two men have not yet been traced.
Images of the men have now been released in the hope that someone will be able to identify them.
PC Amelia Trimble from GMP’s Wigan borough, said: “We have conducted extensive enquiries and have done all that we can to identify these two men, unfortunately we have not had any positive leads.
“I am hoping that by issuing these images, someone’s memory might be triggered, and they might have a vital bit of information that could help us catch those responsible.
“The men’s faces are mainly covered, but one in particular is wearing a distinctive hoodie with what looks like a skull on it. I’m hoping someone might recognise this and get in touch.”
Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 0161 856 7292 or 101 quoting incident number 2163 of 25.09.17, alternatively call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

If you have your DVR set to record the ‘Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade,’ you may want to take a few minutes to reprogram it. ABC has confirmed what has already been reported at both the Walt Disney World Resort via it’s Very Merry Christmas Party map and the Disneyland Resort — which is filming its half today — that the annual holiday program will in fact be dubbed the ‘Disney Parks Frozen Christmas Celebration.’ The official program description is as follows:
As we first reported on Twitter last week, ahead of any official announcement, Amazon has begun taking pre-orders for the Blu-ray edition of ‘Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmas‘ with a release date of November 4, 2014. A few days later, Walmart also began listing the title but as a 3-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo bundle of both ‘Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmas’ as well as ‘Mickey’s Twice Upon A Christmas,’ along with the packaging seen here. It is likely that the Amazon listing is for both titles as well but it has not been updated appropriately.
Award-winning actors Neil Patrick Harris and Nick Cannon will join television anchor Lara Spencer in the holly jolly spotlight Dec. 25, 2013, to host the “Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade” television special. Harris, star of stage and screen, will host the telecast from Walt Disney World Resort in Florida while Cannon, who hosted last year’s “Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade”, will head to “The Happiest Place on Earth” at Disneyland Resort. Spencer, a lifestyle journalist and co-anchor of ABC’s “Good Morning America,” will be the show’s special correspondent.
Just in time to celebrate the season, D23: The Official Disney Fan Club has brought back its popular ’23 Days of Disney Christmas’ series — a gorgeous collection of work contributed by artists from nearly every corner of The Walt Disney Company, including Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, Disney Television Animation, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts’ Disney Design Group, Disney Consumer Products, and more.
Beginning today, D23.com will unveil a new piece of art that celebrates the holidays. The theme for 2013 is ‘The Ultimate Gift’ — and D23 asked Disney artists what their favorite characters would most want for the holiday. The results are just as creative as the talents behind them, and 23 lucky D23 Members now have the chance win a lithograph of the work.
This holiday season Radio Disney, the #1 radio network for kids, tweens and families, brings the biggest names in kids’ music to kids and families across the country with “Fa-la-la-lidays” events, beginning THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14. Select cities will feature music’s brightest young stars, including teen sensations Jessica Sanchez and Megan Nicole, as well as favorite Disney Channel stars Debby Ryan (“Jessie”) and Caroline Sunshine (“Shake It Up”), performing music from Walt Disney Records’ upcoming album, “Holidays Unwrapped.” And for the first time ever, the Radio Disney “Fa-la-la-lidays” float will debut at Chicago’s Magnificent Mile Lights Festival and travel parade routes at America’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and Rochester Hometown Christmas Parade, both in Detroit.
In the first Christmas lights competition of its kind for television, 4 families will compete each week to transform their homes for the holidays in just 21 days. These 20 families were chosen through an extensive nationwide search based on their previous elaborate Christmas light displays, incredible choreography and over-the-top designs. At stake is a total of $250,000 in prizes, with $50,000 awarded each episode.
‘The Great Christmas Light Fight’ will air on December 9 at 9:00 pm ET/PT and with back-to-back on episodes on both December 16 at 9:00 pm ET/PT and December 23 at 9:00 pm ET/PT. Michael Moloney & Sabrina Soto (both of ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’) will serve as judges for the series.
ABC Family’s annual ’25 Days of Christmas,’ cable’s biggest programming event of the year, will return with 25 continuous days of holiday-themed entertainment for the whole family. From December 1–25, viewers can ring in the holidays with original movies, holiday specials and returning favorites.
‘Lights, Camera, Christmas!’ is a new competition series in which 16 families from across America will decorate their homes to the extreme for Christmas — in ways that would certainly make even Clark Griswold envious — for a $50,000 Grand Prize. The series will air this December on ABC.
In the first nationwide Christmas lights competition of its kind for television, four families will compete each week to transform their homes for the holidays in just 21 days. These 16 families were chosen through an extensive nationwide search, based on their previous elaborate Christmas light displays, incredible choreography and over-the-top designs. The four finalists will be flown to a surprise finale city to compete for the $50,000 Grand Prize.
After introducing several older (and current) theme park-only albums to the digital download sector this year, Walt Disney Music continues the trend with the soundtracks to two of the Disneyland Resort’s traditions — ‘Haunted Mansion Holiday‘ and ‘“it’s a small world” Holiday.’ Both soundtracks will be available beginning September 10, 2013 and are currently listed on Amazon.
Initially released in 2003, ‘Haunted Mansion Holiday‘ features the vocal talents of Corey Burton. Jack Skellington of Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas fame, who temporarily takes up residence in the parks’ classic Haunted Mansion attraction, pays tribute to several classic Christmas carols with a nightmarish twist. The album also features a recorded ride-through of the holiday overlay.
First is the 30th Anniversary edition of Mickey’s Christmas Carol. Disney’s timeless tale sparkles like never before on Blu-ray and Digital Copy, with fully-restored classic holiday shorts, plus all-new bonus features. Make the season merry as Mickey, Goofy, Donald and all their pals star in a heartwarming retelling of Dickens’ unforgettable holiday tale. Ebenezer Scrooge (Scrooge McDuck) is far too greedy to understand that Christmas is a time for kindness and generosity. But with the guidance of some wise ghosts (Goofy and Jiminy Cricket) and a bunch of newfound friends, Scrooge learns to embrace the spirit of the season. Share this wonderful holiday treat with the whole family.

Do aliens live on toxic, smelly worlds?
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, led by astrobiologist Clara Sousa-Silva, set out to answer that question. They recently published a study detailing their work, revealing a potential new method for finding alien life: By detecting planets with atmospheres containing phosphine.
In their study, titled “Phosphine as a Biosignature Gas in Exoplanet Atmospheres,” the researchers determined that the presence of phosphine, one of the nastiest gasses here on Earth, could be a major indicator that life exists on a planet.
That’s because, according to their research, anaerobic organisms — bacteria and microbes that don’t require oxygen — are the only things known to produce phosphine naturally on rocky planets like ours. And so, if you can detect phosphine on a rocky exoplanet, there’s a good chance life is present there, as well.
(While phosphine can also be found in gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn, this is due to their immense pressures and tumultuous environments.)
On Earth, phosphine is a flammable and explosive gas typically found in places where oxygen is not, such as swamps, marshlands, and big old piles of penguin dung. However, according to Sousa-Silva (via MIT News), lifeforms that don’t like oxygen take to it very well:
“It’s a really toxic molecule for anything that likes oxygen. But for life that doesn’t like oxygen, it seems to be a very useful molecule.”
What’s more, if phosphine were produced on an exoplanet in amounts similar to that of methane here on Earth, it would generate enough of a signal that we’d be able to detect it. However, we’d need a telescope powerful enough.
Lucky for us, the James Webb Space Telescope fits the bill, and is scheduled to launch on March 30, 2021. In that case, we may be able to detect such phosphine-rich planets up to 16 light years away.
Other molecules could also prove to be potential biosignatures, according to Sousa-Silva:
“Here on Earth, oxygen is a really impressive sign of life. But other things besides life make oxygen too. It’s important to consider stranger molecules that might not be made as often, but if you do find them on another planet, there’s only one explanation.”
Gas: In Space!
Speaking of Space Gas, another recent study discovered a new way to find exoplanets themselves — by looking for stars “shrouded in gas.”
This technique, according to a team of astronomers at the Open University in England, involves looking for stars that appear to be enveloped by gas clouds. In truth, however, these “gas clouds” are actually made up of material from planets that are so close to their host stars that they’ve begun to vaporize from the heat.
Astronomers have found six such exoplanets, three of which are super-Earths, orbiting a total of three stars.

Great to work with, a true artist, I highly recommend her work
— John Tofanelli,
West Caldwell, NJ
I came across Courtney's work at a farmer's market in Burlington, VT in May 2019. I loved her work so much that I held onto her business card in case I was in need of something in the future. Fast forward to 2021. I wanted to gift my fiance with something for the birth of our baby boy or girl (we left that part a surprise). I wanted something that would feel special to her and tells a story, a story she could share with our baby boy or girl in the future. I reached out to Courtney and she worked closely with me to make sure the necklace told the story I imagined. The outcome... The 14,000 foot Colorado peak (Handies Peak) that we got engaged on, with the trail we hiked to get to the summit engraved. A Montana sapphire stone which represents the month we got engaged (September) as well as the state where my fiancé was born. And lastly, handmade in our favorite state where we will likely be calling home for our new baby boy in the future, Vermont. I can't say enough about my experience working with Courtney on this project, and the piece came out absolutely amazing.
— Ryan B,
My wife and I have had several pieces created by Courtney and she does absolutely wonderful work! She recently created a new engagement ring / wedding band set for my wife for our 40th wedding anniversary and they turned out perfect! She collaborated with my wife and created the perfect design. My wife fell in love with the final rings! Courtney is just a tremendous designer and we wouldn’t go anywhere else!

This promise is based on the ubiquitous deployment of smart, connected devices that link everything from industrial control systems to automobiles to refrigerators. Unfortunately, comparatively few of the devices currently deployed have been developed with an eye toward security, and as the DDoS attacks of late October 2016 have demonstrated, this oversight can ...

More and more brands have jumped on the IoT bandwagon. We have an excess of wearables – activity trackers, smartwatches, smart glasses and sneakers, and more that track seemingly endless datapoints. However, most consumers have no idea what “IoT” means. Creating more wearables that track data shouldn't be the aim of brands; delivering meaningful, tangible relevance to their users should be. We're in a period in which the IoT pendulum is still swinging. Initially, it swung toward "smart for smar...

It is not uncommon for patients in therapy to express feelings of self-alienation. They may say things like, “I don’t feel like my true self” or “Sometimes I don’t even recognize the person I’ve become.”
In cases like these, it’s important to reflect on your own sense of authenticity. Acting authentically (ie, being true to yourself, standing up for what you believe in, and sticking to your core principles) can be a powerful antidote to self-alienation.
Here are three signs you may need to rekindle your relationship with the “real you.”
#1. You keep a secret that you no longer want to keep
There is something attractive about secrets and keeping secrets. We all want to be in the know. We want to be aware of information that other people don’t have. We prefer to be in the inner circle than on the fringes.
Much of this is based on our need to feel connected to others. This is not, in itself, a bad thing. However, there are some repercussions of keeping secrets that can cause psychological damage.
Some secrets can weigh us down. They affect our ability to interact and relate to others. The more we try to repress a secret, the more we find it surfacing in our consciousness.
People who reveal a big secret often describe the experience as a “weight off their shoulders,” even in cases where the disclosure may cause damage to their close relationships.
Much of this can be explained from the point of view of authenticity. When we keep secrets that prey on our feelings of authenticity, we lead ourselves down a harmful path. We may deal with these feelings in unhealthy ways, such as numbing our thoughts with alcohol or disassociating ourselves from previously pleasant experiences.
Often the only way to rebalance our psychological state is to share the secrets that are making us feel inauthentic. Therapy is a safe place to explore these possibilities.
#2. You are a different person at work than you are at home
For many of us, our work can make us feel distant from our true selves. We are forced to wear a thick skin and are asked to behave in ways that we may not be entirely comfortable with. Many employees are hesitant to reveal their true personalities for fear of how their colleagues might see them.
In some work environments, there is a strong tinge of conformity, so everyone acts more or less the same way (perhaps taking on the personality traits of the organization’s leader(s). Any rejection of the status quo way of doing things can be seen by superiors as an assault on the organization itself.
If you feel this way, it likely affects your sense of authenticity. You may feel conflicted about the “real you.” Is “home you” the real you or is “work you” in fact the real you?
Over time, our psychology has a way of resolving this cognitive dissonance in one direction or another. The problem is that without actively working through these thoughts and feelings we don’t always control the direction of resolution. We may end up becoming the person who was once a stranger to us.
#3. You’re living a double (or triple) life.
Most people equate living a double life with having an affair or hiding something of great importance from their immediate family. While this is one definition of a double life, it is important to know that there are other less severe forms of living double or triple lives that can also lead to feelings of inauthenticity. Most of them stem from simply trying to do too much.
Consider the following scenario. Imagine a mother trying to take care of young children, succeed in her career, and be a good daughter to her aging parents at the same time. While these are all great goals, it is unlikely that anyone can excel at all of these tasks simultaneously. This often leads to feelings of inauthenticity and self-blame (ie, “I should have taken my parents out to lunch last week” or “I can’t afford to miss another family meeting PTA”).
In these cases, you need to practice self-respect, realizing that you simply don’t have time to be everything to everyone. Reducing the number of things you expect to do each week can help restore your sense of authenticity.
Feeling a strong sense of authenticity is the cornerstone of a happy and healthy life. The next time you feel disconnected from yourself, take some time to reflect on whether you may be (1) keeping unwanted secrets, (2) struggling with your work identity, or (3) trying to accomplish so much that you constantly feel overwhelmed extended .


It’s a safe bet millions of advisor clients saw reports of the tax reform package President Obama will officially unveil in his State of the Union speech tomorrow.
If some of your customers call today asking how the proposals will affect their family finances, tell them if they really want to watch a show Tuesday night that could have a big impact on their personal prosperity, they should to buy lottery tickets during the day and tune in for the winning numbers that evening.
The president’s wish list was scoffed at as dead on arrival by Congressional leaders and other Washington knowledgeables immediately when it was published in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Politico and The Washington Post.
Republicans, who now control both houses of Congress, are likely to veto anything with a Made By Obama stamp on it.
The savings idea most likely to be enacted is a requirement for mandatory IRAs that would incorporate automatic enrollment for workers at small employers that don’t offer retirement plans. But the laws are going to be enacted in state capitols, not Washington.
State legislators from both parties see mandatory retirement plans as a way of reducing social welfare costs. Their rationale is the more seniors can pay for their livelihoods out of their own pockets, the less they will need state government support for health care, housing and other costs.
The Obama package would also hike the highest capital-gains tax rate to 28 percent from 20 percent, establish a $500 tax credit for families with two working spouses and increase the taxes on inherited wealth.
The Tuesday speech that could have the most bearing on American pocketbooks may not be Obama’s in the evening, but Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch’s in the morning.
With his newfound power from the shift to Republican control of the Senate, Hatch will be unveiling his own priorities to an audience undoubtedly stocked with existing and would-be campaign contributors at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Hatch is certain to recycle ideas he proposed in the last session of Congress that never saw the light of day because his party was in the minority.
Now that he has the power to shine a spotlight on his ideas, look for the senator to re-propose the establishment of Starter401(k)s that would allow a participant to contribute $8,000 to $10,000 per year towards retirement, a little less than under tradition 401(k)s, but a higher limit than IRAs.
In December, he released a whitepaper calling tax reform “an economic necessity,” and he should be friendly to savings and investments for individuals. One idea in the whitepaper is to make uniform eligibility, contribution and withdrawal rules for 401(k), 403(b) and 457 retirement plans.

Water line replacement begins Monday on Industrial Blvd.
Work on the Industrial Boulevard Water Line Replacement Project is scheduled to begin Monday, according to a news release from the city of Abilene.
The water utility improvements are being done prior to a street resurfacing project planned for this spring.
Lupe Rubio Construction Co. is the contractor and will soon begin setting up traffic control for the first phase of the utility replacement project.
The first phase of the project starts on the south side of Industrial (both eastbound lanes) between South Danville Drive and Sayles Boulevard. Construction along Industrial will be done in phases progressing east and ending at Treadaway Boulevard.
It is anticipated that Phase I construction will take about two weeks. Traffic controls will direct eastbound traffic into the inside westbound lane, and all westbound traffic will use the outside westbound lane. Other minor traffic control measures may be necessary during certain stages of construction in this work zone.

In this course you will learn to combine archaeological methods with knowledge of diverse prehistoric cultures to investigate some of the most significant aspects of our deep past, including the evolution of humans, the emergence of agriculture, and the development of the earliest urban civilizations.
APG 310: Topics in Anthropology: -Frontier Anthropology. Prof. Alicia Caporaso
This course concerns anthropological and archaeological approaches to the study of frontier, boundary, and border processes including: cultural contact, commerce, conflict, transportation, colonialism, and ethnogenesis. We will discuss the evolution of frontier theory, issues of multi-use and contested landscapes, and patterns of social change on geographical and allegorical cultural margins through archaeology, history, and modern discourse. Examples will include: The North American fur trade, the American "west", the Roman hinterland, the growth of maritime and railroad transportation, among others.
APG 310: Topics in Anthropology-Anthropology of the Vikings. Prof. Michele Smith)This course will explore the culture of the Vikings in Northern Europe and the North Atlantic. We will examine the social implications of these Northern people, their expansion, and their impacts on others in Europe and North America. What were the social and geographical ramifications of Viking exploration, trade, and warfare? Were the Vikings raiders, pirates, warriors, traders, or craftsmen? How was Scandinavian society organized in its homelands? We will use archaeological data, the written record of the Icelandic sagas, Viking art, and other sources of information to explore the Vikings' daily life, their economy, dress, gender, social and political organization, religion, death and burial. The course will terminate by looking at the Viking presence in the Americas, the site of L'Anse-aux- Meadows in Newfoundland and their involvement in the High Arctic as well as the Antiquarian interest in Viking monuments and relics in Eastern North America and New England in the early to mid 20th century.
- Humans have lived along coastlines for at least 150,000 years, developing specialized technology and social systems to adapt to these environments. Coastal environments provide both unique opportunities and challenges for the inhabitants and for the archaeologists who study them. Coastal peoples have access to a rich variety of resources, but often face environmental stress and natural disasters (as evidenced by the recent tsunamis and hurricanes). Coastal and wetland archaeological sites are often exceptionally preserved, but may be difficult and costly to investigate, and are threatened by construction and future sea level rise associated with global warming. This course will explore a variety of issues and controversies in coastal "prehistory" (the period of time before the invention of writing), and will focus primarily on the archaeology of the Americas and Oceania.
APG 417: Archaeological Method & Theory . Prof. Kris Bovy
This class is an introduction to the theories, methods, and techniques used by archaeologists. We will discuss how and why archaeologists do what they do, using examples from North America and around the world. The course is divided into three main units: theoretical perspectives, methods/ techniques, and contemporary issues in American archaeology.
APG/ARH 465: Seminar in Cultural Heritage. Prof. Kris Bovy
This class is a cross listed seminar

CHICAGO — Minority aldermen Tuesday filed a proposal for a new city ward map that retains 20 wards with African-American majorities and increases the number with Hispanic majorities to 10 from the current seven.
However, African-Americans would account for 65 percent or more of the voting-age residents in only 15 of the 20 majority black wards. Only four wards in the Latino column would have Hispanic voting-age majorities of at least 65 percent.
The courts have held that "super majorities" of 65 percent or more are necessary to provide members of an ethnic or racial group with a reasonable opportunity to get elected.
A version of the map drawn by the council's Rules Committee, or the "white" proposal, is expected to be unveiled within a few days, said Ald. Richard Mell (33rd), the committee's chairman.
He said it differs little from the minority aldermen's proposal.
"I think that the black and Hispanic caucuses and the white aldermen are still committed to our original goal--to produce a map that will not require a referendum and that will withstand a court challenge," he said.
A referendum would be necessary if 10 of the council's 50 aldermen vote against whatever map is presented for final consideration. State law sets a Dec. 1 deadline for adopting the new map.

"Learn to be done. Not mad, not bothered, just done. Protect your peace, at all costs."
This quote emphasizes the importance of recognizing when a situation is no longer serving you and choosing to disengage from it for the sake of your own well-being. It's a reminder to prioritize your mental and emotional peace, even if it means walking away from something that no longer positively contributes to your life. Setting boundaries and safeguarding your peace is essential for maintaining balance and happiness.

Changes made by the Internal Revenue Service
If the Internal Revenue Service has made changes to your federal income tax return, you must file an amended North Carolina return to report the changes that apply to your North Carolina return.
You must report the changes to the State by filing an amended return within six months from the date you received the report from the Internal Revenue Service. You are subject to the late filing penalty of 5 percent per month (maximum 25 percent) for not filing an amended return to report federal changes in a timely manner. If you do not amend your State return to report federal changes and the Department of Revenue receives the report from the Internal Revenue Service, an assessment may be made by the Department within three years from the date of receipt of the report and you forfeit your right to any refund which might have been due by reason of the changes.
Under G.S. 105-241.10, the Department may assess additional tax that results only from adjustments related to the federal determination if the tax year is otherwise barred by Statute and you timely report the changes.
For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2012, North Carolina determines your taxable income based upon your federal adjusted gross income and in prior years your North Carolina taxable income was determined based on your federal taxable income. Therefore, it is very important that you report to the Department any changes made to your federal return as soon as possible to receive any refund due or pay any additional tax owed to avoid a penalty.

Chocolate powder, All-natural or dutch, includes one active ingredient: chocolate. The distinction is that Dutch cacao has an extra action in the manufacturing process.One of the very best firm in Turkey which create Chocolate Powder Alkalized and also non-alkalized is cellphonemobilespy.com and also much better to recognize the business has solubility sheet for their items.
You are watching: Cocoa powder alkalized vs non alkalized
Chocolate Powder Alkalized Routine chocolate powder which is not Chocolate Powder Alkalized Normal chocolate powder which is not Cacao Powder Alkalized, is made from cacao beans in cellphonemobilespy.com. These beans are fermented, deep-fried, peeled off, and afterwards ground right into a paste called delicious chocolate alcohol. This is roughly 50/50 cacao butter (fat) as well as chocolate solids. At this phase, it can be built and also marketed as bitter delicious chocolate for cooking. To make chocolate powder, the alcohol is hydraulically pushed to get rid of ~ 75 %fat, and after that grated right into cacao powder.Dutch cacao powder or Chocolate Powder Alkalized has an additional action prior to the peeled off beans are ground right into alcohol. They are taken in an alkaline service of potassium carbonate.Dutch cacao was developed in the 19th century by a Dutchman called Coenraad J. Van Houten. Van Houten created an approach of utilizing a hydraulic press to degrease delicious chocolate alcohol.
Warm delicious chocolate currently would certainly have an oily, fatty foam drifting in addition to the beverage. Eliminating the majority of the fat stopped this. Nonetheless, it additionally made the beverage a lot harder, sour, as well as provided it a much lighter color.Van Houten's concept was to combat the all-natural level of acidity of cacao(pH ~ 5.4)by saturating it in an alkaline remedy. This counteracted the acids in chocolate, elevating the pH to neutral(
7)or greater depending upon the period of saturating. A greater pH additionally has actually the included advantage of cacao dimming; the greater the darker it becomes.Cocoa Powder Alkalized Preference of Chocolate Powder Alkalized Currently you may assume that softening chocolate would certainly be unfavorable for the preference. Nevertheless, it has actually been revealed that this is not so. It ends up that the extremely acidic nature of all-natural cacaocan in fact mask most of the all-natural tones of delicious chocolate taste.
Delicious chocolate is really comparable to a glass of wine as well as has thousands of tastes that comprise its preference account. These consist of sour, bitter, astringent, fruit, fig, nut, blossom, smoky and also far more. Dutch just targets bitter, astringent, sour, and also fruity tones, permitting the remainder to really show chocolate.There is some false information amongst bakers that the pH of Chocolate Powder Alkalized can impact the helping to loosen of a baked item. Numerous dishes in fact badly recommend making use of either All-natural or dutch chocolate, depending. This makes good sense, considering that the leaven is a sort of stabilizing activity, in which both bases and also acids are included. Nonetheless, it was experimentally revealed that this does not really take place, and also breads made from both All-natural as well as dutch chocolate powder did disappoint distinctions in cooking powder.So in fact address your concerns. Once more, there is nothing else name for Dutch chocolate yet Cacao Powder Alkalized, yet that does not quit looking for alkaline rot.

This week Coronation Street aired its first male rape storyline, proving to be one of its most controversial topics to date.
The scenes, which see newcomer Josh Tucker drug and sexually assault hairdresser David Platt, have generated over 100 complaints to Ofcom.
It has also caused a debate on social media about the place of difficult real-life issues on light entertainment programmes.
David’s storyline has gone some way to highlight how seriously soaps take issue-based storylines and how much work goes into them.
Ryan Clayton – who plays Josh – tells the BBC he “can’t stress the importance” of why stories like this need to be aired and brought to a wider audience.
“The great thing, with whatever soap is covering it, is you’ve got millions of people tuning into a programme,” he says.
The story of male rape is not new to soaps and Hollyoaks was the first to cover it – first in 2000 with Luke Morgan and in 2015 with John Paul McQueen.
Clayton says the reason the David Platt story has caused such a stir is because “Corrie targets an older generation” who he says can be “naive” about such issues, in comparison to the younger audience of Hollyoaks.
He also hopes that the difficult scenes could encourage viewers who have been victims of sexual assault to speak out for the first time.
‘I wanted it to be like real life’
Clayton worked with Duncan Craig, who used his own experience of rape and sexual assault to advise on every part of the story – from the moment the idea was discussed to the day it was filmed and edited.
His charity, Survivors Manchester, has also been involved in offering advice to victims off the back of the show.
“I wanted it to be like real life,” Craig tells the BBC.
“Not the rape on Friday, telling the police on Monday and punishing the perpetrator on Tuesday.”
He says that the team at Coronation Street, headed up by executive producer Kate Oakes, listened to his ideas throughout the entire process.
Craig – who has waived his right to anonymity – was involved in script-writing, filming scenes and working with actors on the show to make sure everything felt like an accurate portrayal.
He first got involved in advising soaps on rape storylines by working on the John Paul scripts with a team of Hollyoaks writers.
“When I found out the character was David Platt, I knew this was so vitally important as he’s someone viewers have grown up with – it feels like he’s part of their family,” says Craig.
“Corrie is an institution and a national treasure and I thought we had a real opportunity to show that rape can happen to anyone.”
He highlights certain aspects of the story as being significant, including the fact that David is straight and raped by a man whose sexuality is unknown – adding that in many instances, it is assumed that the rapist is gay.
“It was important that David was not raped by a stranger because that story’s been told in drama a few times – victims are more likely to know the perpetrator,” Craig adds.
Something both Craig and Clayton also mention is the importance in the story of accurately portraying male mental health.
“David’s never had a positive relationship with men. Recently his half-brother has disappeared and he’s never really known his dad,” Craig adds.
‘It was a night of fun’
Clayton says he made sure to correctly portray the most sensitive aspects of the story – including grooming David and slipping the drug GBH into his drink – when playing Josh.
“Every bit of information from David’s past, Josh laps up and takes to his advantage,” says Clayton.
“He’s very manipulative and takes an opportunity – David needs a new male role model.
“In Josh’s mind he won’t accept that he’s raped David – he sees it as a night of fun, (that) David is the one with a troubled past.”
The storyline also brought a new element to the soap – looking at the idea of male vulnerability.
“Maybe there’s a crisis in masculinity,” Craig adds, when asked why some people are reacting negatively to the plot.
“Men don’t know what it means to be a man or how they should be and this is a huge story to talk about.
“It’s about shame, guilt, anxiety and depression, sense of self and worthlessness, not being able to be a ‘man’ and is connected to psychological wellbeing.
“Rape and sexual assault is about power and control and when someone’s had this asserted over them, you’re left with a sense of nothingness.”
Clayton adds: “If you look at the figures for male rape, on average it takes men 20 years to open up.
“When you think about the way men deal with it, some will take it to the grave.”

It was 102 degrees the day the chipmunk decided to become a patron of the arts.
You can see him there, perched on a rock, looking intently at a pair of paintings.
Maybe the heat got to his head. Maybe he was bored. Or maybe he was just strolling by and got distracted.
Perhaps he was even inspired by the paintings themselves. One is of Jesus, the other is Saint Francis of Assisi. If the chipmunk is drawn to St. Francis, that would be only natural. The 11th century Italian friar was known for preaching to birds and other animals.
“Fioretti di San Francesco,” a 14th century anthology that captures incidents from Francis’ life, describes the monk stopping some fellow travelers as they wandered the Italian countryside.
“Wait for me here,” Francis said, “while I go and preach to my little sisters the birds.” Francis saw animals as not only open to God’s love, but worthy of it.

The story of Saint Francis inspired Jim Baken, the artist who not only painted the rocks that so entranced the chipmunk, but — with a trail camera — captured the little creature marveling at

Gov. Andy Beshear vetoes Kentucky housing discrimination bill
Republished from WEKU.
On Tuesday, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear signed a veto against House Bill 18.
The legislation would allow landlords to not participate in federal housing assistance programs. Landlords would be able to deny prospective tenants who use Section 8 and other federal housing assistance vouchers to pay rent.
HB 18 conflicts with at least two housing anti-discrimination bans enacted by local governments. In 2020, Louisville Metro Council passed a fair housing ordinance, banning housing discrimination. Lexington passed a similar ordinance earlier this year.
“We should never make it harder for someone to obtain a roof over their head, a safe place to call home,” Beshear said during a news conference Tuesday. “And that’s exactly what this bill tries to do. We should be working to help people and never to harm them.”
Opponents of the bill say if enacted, it would make it more difficult for people with disabilities, low-income families, those experiencing homelessness and some veterans to access affordable housing.
Housing advocates — like Louisville Coalition for the Homeless Education Advocacy Director George Eklund — said the bill allows for discrimination based on misconceptions about federal housing assistance programs like Section 8.
“[The federal housing assistance program] does not require landlords to do more than what’s already required of them,” Eklund said. “It doesn’t make them have to lower their rents. It doesn’t make them have to change their screening policies. They’re able to do business completely the same.”
The Senate version of the bill passed last week. The Legislature’s Republican supermajority has the opportunity to override the veto.
Beshear hopes lawmakers will instead uphold the veto.
“This is a chance to do the right thing. Not to just dig in, play politics, [and] have an us versus them, but to really think about the people that we are supposed to serve,” he said.

Editor’s Note: This story contains graphic descriptions of violence.
On one cold November morning in 1864, more than 200 Cheyenne and Arapaho tribal members, mostly women and children, were murdered in one of the worst massacres in American history.
For 128 years, the man historians say authorized the massacre had a mountain – which was located on Indigenous territory – named after him.
But not anymore.
Mount Blue Sky, formerly Mount Evans, was renamed by in a Friday vote of the US Board of Geographic Names, the US Department of the Interior announced in a news release.
As the 14th highest peak in Colorado, the mountain stands at 14,258 feet along the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and the Pike and San Isabel National Forests.
The new name holds significance because “the Arapaho were known as the Blue Sky people and the Cheyenne have an annual ceremony of renewal of life called Blue Sky,” according to the petition to rename the mountain submitted by the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes.
“It is a huge step, not only for the Cheyenne and Arapaho people, but also for the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Southern Ute Tribe, Northern Arapaho Tribe, Northern Cheyenne Tribe, and other allies who worked diligently to begin the healing process, bringing honor to a monumental and majestic mountain,” Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes Governor Reggie Wassana said in a statement.
The board’s Domestic Names Committee voted on the name change after years of consideration “by state, county, local and Tribal governments” and with the support of nearly 75 organizations and hundreds of people, according to the Interior Department.
“Names matter. How we identify our public lands is an important opportunity to be inclusive and welcoming, and to make a lasting impact for future generations,” Michael Brain, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Water and Science, said in a statement.
The US National Park Service called the massacre “one of the worst tragedies of the American West.”
Before the massacre, the tribes, who have lived on the Great Plains for generations, were already experiencing the intrusion by American colonists, the park service said. Their western expansion invaded Indigenous land, limiting their hunting grounds and haunting them with the constant threat of violence from the American military.
Indigenous chief Black Kettle of the Cheyenne was committed to his efforts to negotiate peace with then-territorial Governor John Evans and the American Colonist Military, to protect his people, according to the National Park Service. But nothing worked.
The petition to rename the mountain begins with a quote from the 1864 Proclamation by Governor John Evans:
“I, John Evans, governor of Colorado Territory, do issue this my proclamation, authorizing all citizens of Colorado, either individually or in such parties as they may organize, to go in pursuit of all hostile Indians on the plains … to kill and destroy, as enemies of the country, wherever they may be found, all such hostile Indians.”
The Arapaho and Cheyenne tribes – including 750 people, most of whom were women, children and the elderly – followed orders to settle at an encampment by the Big Sandy Creek near Fort Lyon. They were told to wait there, until peace negotiations continued and they would be allowed to go to Fort Lyon for safety and supplies.
But on the morning of November 29, unprovoked, US soldiers opened fire on “innocent and unaware Arapaho and Cheyenne civilians,” and by the end of the massacre, 230 of them were dead.
“During the afternoon and following day, the soldiers wandered over the field committing atrocities on the dead before departing the scene on December 1st,” the park service said.
One soldier, who described the scene in front of Congress, said: “I saw the bodies of those lying there cut all to pieces, worse mutilated than any I ever saw before; the women cut all to pieces…[cut] with knives; scalped; their brains knocked out; children two or three months old; all ages lying there, from sucking infants up to warriors … [mutilated] by the United States troops.”
In 1865, Governor Evans was forced to resign in disgrace, according to the petition. The mountain was named after him In 1895.
The Mestaa’ėhehe Coalition, which united tribal representatives from the Cheyenne and Arapaho and other Indigenous tribes to rename the mountain, said on Facebook “the immense relief of removing a name so associated with the atrocity of the Sand Creek Massacre is felt by many.”
“May this new name be one of honoring the victims and their descendants, healing and moving forward together. And may these sacred homelands once again be a welcome place for all!”

I could have sworn those were Jenga blocks in the photo, although I realized upon further inspection that they were actually multiple exposures of actual buildings. Talk about your mind playing tricks on you.
Way to go *endorphin!* Your mind-boggling shot is our Photo of the Day. Amazing really, how a photographic technique can alter a viewer’s perception. And you definitely altered mine, probably along with those of others in the community.
You may have noticed the new single from Nükleer Başlıklı Kız, "Beni Hatırla," playing on the radio and music channels. During their last vacation, they took the Fisheye No.2 Gold to record their memories in circular photos that enhance the soul of the sea and the sun. We talked with NBK about their new single, future plans, and adventures with the Fisheye camera.
Perhaps you’ve already had chance to try light painting, multiple exposures and long exposures with your Lomo’Instant, but what can you experiment with next? Well, that’s exactly the thought I had which led to giving this Tipster a go. I wanted to shoot Lomo’Instant photos which felt a bit “messier” than what I’m usually used to and to use a technique which would open up new possibilities with the kinds of images I could create with my favorite instant camera. Well, here I go!
This article is dedicated to the multifaceted American photographer George Krause and to his series depicting funeral monuments realized between 1962 and 1963. I was able to know about this series thanks to an important essay on photography written by former Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) Director of Photography, John Szarkowski. For this tribute, I loaded my trusty Praktica camera with a roll of Ilford film and took a series of photos in the Monumental Cemetery in my city, Como. Take a look!
As many of you would already know, shooting under low light conditions requires more than a steady grip (or a tripod) if you're aiming for outstanding results. You must also have the proper gear, and that, of course, includes film. In this post, we list down five fast films that work their best under such conditions.
I traveled to Cartagena de Indias, Colombia in May 2015 with my twin sister. Our birthday was on the 31st, and for the last few years we've had a silent pact to try to spend our birthdays traveling as much as we could (and as long as we’re single!).

A top US military general has said the new Pakistan Army chief has shown signs he is taking action against the Taliban and the Haqqani network but he needs to be "more persistent" in the fight against terror.
Gen Joseph Votel, Commander of the US Central Command or CENTCOM, told members of the Senate Armed Services Committee that Pakistan Army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa has begun action against the terrorist groups his predecessors were reluctant to target.
Gen Votel said Pakistan Army recently supported Gen John Nicholson, Commander of US and NATO forces in Afghanistan, in some places on the border, making sure they were doing the activities on their side of the border.
He called the actions "a move in the right direction."
"But what we need is that (they) be more persistent and continue to focus in that particular area," Gen Votel said.
"I think it is key to ensure that Pakistan and Afghanistan have a very good relationship. There are certainly tensions along border along the common border between those countries and so I think a key role that we can play is in helping move that relationship forward," Votel said in his response on a question from Senator Tom Cotton.
Cotton had said that for years the US has been "lamenting the existence of sanctuaries" for the Taliban and other terrorist group in Pakistan. "As you think about the strategy to break this stalemate, what's the role of eliminating those sanctuaries inside Pakistan? And how do you plan to get after this long standing problem?"
Gen Votel said Pakistan remains a "key partner" of the US in the firght against terrorism in the Af-Pak region. "They have done some things that have been helpful to us."

Crohn’s is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that can cause inflammation in any part of the gastrointestinal tract, from the mouth to the anus, though it most commonly affects the intestines.
There is no cure for Crohn’s disease, but it can go into remission, during which a person experiences very few symptoms, if any.
Periods of remission alternate with flare-ups, during which symptoms recur. The goal of treatment is to minimize flare-ups and keep the disease in remission for as long as possible.
There are many treatments for Crohn’s. However, the disease affects each body differently, and the right combination of medications and dietary changes varies from person to person. In some cases, surgery is necessary.
For most people with Crohn’s, dietary changes are a major part of treatment. Read on for information about how snacking fits into life with Crohn’s.
Many people with Crohn’s find that their symptoms improve after eating certain foods and flare after eating others.
Dietary changes are an important part of managing Crohn’s disease.
When symptoms are in remission, it is important to eat a nutrient-rich diet, which should include:
- Fiber: However, high fiber diets are not good for some people with Crohn’s.
- Protein: Stick with sources of lean protein, such as fish, eggs, nuts, and tofu.
- Calcium: Choose lactose free products, if dairy is a trigger, and be sure to include leafy green vegetables as another source.
- Probiotics: These are in sauerkraut, yogurt, and kimchi, for example.
- Fruits and vegetables: It may be beneficial to remove peels and seeds.
A doctor can give advice about how much fiber to include in the diet.
As always, it is essential to stay hydrated and include as much variety in the diet as possible, so that the body can absorb the full range of nutrients.
During a flare-up
Certain foods and drinks are more likely to trigger flare-ups and aggravate existing symptoms of Crohn’s.
These triggers are different for everyone, but they tend to include:
- dairy, and particularly its lactose
- sugary foods
- high fat foods
- spicy foods
- sugar alternatives, including sorbitol and sugar alcohols
A doctor or nutritionist may recommend an elimination diet. This involves removing all common triggers from the diet, then slowly reintroducing them one by one to see whether any worsen or prompt symptoms.
It is important to follow an elimination diet under the supervision of a healthcare professional to ensure that the diet still includes the right balance of nutrients.
When someone has Crohn’s disease, they must think carefully about all of the food they eat each day, including snacks.
Most people with Crohn’s find that eating small snacks frequently throughout the day is better tolerated than three large meals. Aim for a snack or small meal every two to three hours.
Here are some great snack recipes for people with Crohn’s:
Peanut butter banana smoothie
- 1 frozen banana
- 1–2 tablespoons of peanut butter
- milk or an alternative, such as soy milk
- Add the frozen banana, peanut butter, and a few splashes of milk into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Add more milk to thin the smoothie, as desired.
Tip: For a different flavor, substitute other frozen fruits, or add yogurt instead of peanut butter. In the summer, try frozen tropical fruits and coconut milk.
A cup of soup
- 4 cups of broth (veggie or chicken, for example)
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 2–3 cups of diced vegetables, which may be frozen
- Add the broth, diced tomatoes, and vegetables to a saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, and simmer until the vegetables are tender and cooked through, which should take around 10–15 minutes.
Tip: Try adding a can of beans or 1 cup of barley, lentils, or cooked, shredded chicken for a little variety and to add protein.
- 1 avocado
- 1 small tomato
- ¼ onion
- a handful of cilantro
- 1 lime
- whole-grain tortilla chips or butter lettuce
- Mash the avocado with a fork.
- Dice the tomato, onion, and cilantro, and add these to the mashed avocado.
- Add the juice of the lime, and mix everything together.
- Serve the mixture with whole-grain tortilla chips or scoop it into butter lettuce cups.
Tip: Spread the guacamole on a slice of toast in the morning for a delicious and filling breakfast.
- 1 cup of rolled oats
- ½ cup of peanut or almond butter
- 1/3 cup of honey
- ½ cup of ground flaxseed
- chocolate chips, raisins, nuts, or a mixture
- Mix the oats, nut butter, honey, and flaxseed.
- Add the chocolate chips, raisins, and nuts, as desired.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Take a small spoonful of the mixture and roll into a ball.
- Continuing with the rest of the mixture, place the balls on the baking sheet.
- Put this in the fridge or freezer to allow the energy balls to set.
- slices of deli turkey
- low-fat or lactose-free cheese
- butter lettuce
- Place a slice of turkey on a plate.
- Place a slice of cheese on top.
- Add a slice of butter lettuce and a thin slice of tomato.
- Roll this up and place it with the seam toward the plate.
Tip: Try adding a few sliced pickles or switching up the ingredients for variety. To make a faux Reuben, use thinly sliced corned beef, swiss cheese, and sauerkraut. Vegan and vegetarian meat and cheese alternatives are also available.
When time is short, give these quick, grab-and-go snacks a try:
- a hard-boiled egg
- a piece of fruit
- low-fat cheese with roasted red pepper
- lactose free or low fat yogurt
- hummus and baby carrots or cucumbers
- a can or pouch of tuna or salmon with crackers or lettuce cups
- a meal replacement drink
- a fruit cup with real juice, not heavy syrup
Ask a dietician about other tasty snack ideas.
Crohn’s is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract. While there is no cure, various treatments and interventions can help control the symptoms.
Dietary changes are a crucial part of treatment. Carefully planning meals and snacks are important for anyone with Crohn’s or another inflammatory bowel disease.
