This week, a Swedish firm announced it had delivered carbon-free steel to a customer—a world-first. It’s a huge step in the race to clean up one of the most carbon-intensive activities on Earth.
On Wednesday, HYBRIT, a partnership between steel company SSAB, state-owned mining firm LKAB, and state-owned utility Vattenfall, said it delivered the clean steel to Swedish automaker Volvo. This was just a test run, but the firm plans to ramp up production to commercial scale by 2026.
“The first fossil-free steel in the world is not only a breakthrough for SSAB, it represents proof that it’s possible to make the transition and significantly reduce the global carbon footprint of the steel industry,” Martin Lindqvist, president and CEO of SSAB, said in a statement.
Making steel is notoriously difficult to decarbonize. The majority of production relies on coal as a raw material feedstock and also as a fuel. HYBRIT has been working to build out clean steel production since it was formed five years ago using renewable power to produce hydrogen and then combining it with iron ore to create a porous material called sponge iron. It began testing the process, which had only been proven at a laboratory scale, last year. This past June, the venture announced it had successfully used this process on a pilot scale. Volvo plans to experiment with the initial batch of green steel by making prototype vehicles and parts, according to the Guardian.
In a sea of new technologies created to take on the climate crisis, this breakthrough is actually big news. The world relies on steel to manufacture countless goods—cars, buildings ships, surgical materials, kitchen cutlery, you name it. According to the International Energy Agency, the iron and steel sector is responsible for 2.8 gigatons of carbon dioxide emissions annually, accounting for 8% of all global energy demand and 7% of energy-related carbon emissions. If production were a country, it would slot in as the fourth-biggest carbon polluter on Earth, sandwiched between the European Union and India. If HYBRIT can create steel without all that pollution, that means other entities can, too. And that needs to happen, fast.
To meet the Paris Agreement target of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) will require drawing down emissions more than 7% each year this decade. The world is already falling behind that pace. While it still needs to do things like ending fossil fuel exploration and use, speeding up the production of green steel beyond one company could also help get things back on track. Seeing so many state-owned ventures involved is also a reminder that strong policy and government support is vital to speed up the transition.

Germany has criticized a deal between Russia and Turkey to remove Kurdish fighters from land near the Turkish-Syrian border, ahead of a high-level meeting of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members.
Instead, Berlin reasserted the need for an international response — as suggested by German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer.
"It is important that international action to resolve this crisis is not limited to Turkey and Russia," Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert told reporters.
"Europe must deal with current events taking place at the border of our continent because these are issues that directly affect several EU member states."
Kramp-Karrenbauer is expected to promote the idea at a two-day meeting of NATO defense ministers starting on Thursday in Brussels.
In response to a DW question, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said he welcomed the idea as one possible political solution in northeastern Syria.
"I welcome that NATO Allies have proposals on how to move forward, how to find a political solution. And, of course, a political solution has to, in one way or another, involve all actors on the ground," he said.
"We need the political solution and therefore also welcome proposals from NATO Allies on how we can try to move forward. This will certainly be addressed, discussed during our meeting."
Kramp-Karrenbauer, touted as a possible successor to Merkel as chancellor, had suggested that international forces be used to create the security zone in northern Syria, where Turkey is engaged in an operation against Kurdish fighters.
Kramp-Karrenbauer floated the idea — which was met with mixed responses — in an interview with DW on Monday. She expanded on the suggestion on Wednesday, saying the zone should be guarded by United Nations troops rather than a loose alignment of nations including Germany, and that this would need a UN mandate.
US Ambassador to NATO Kay Bailey Hutchison told DW on Wednesday that Washington was pleased that Germany had floated an idea that could form the basis for a debate.
The Kremlin on Wednesday said it did not see the need for an internationally administered security zone in northern Syria, after the extension of a ceasefire in the area.
Russians and Syrians move in
Russia is set to work with Syria to ensure that Kurdish YPG forces retreat from parts of northern Syria less than 30 kilometers from the Turkish border. Moscow has warned that, if the Kurds do not pull out, it will withdraw and allow the Turkish military to resume its offensive.
Russia and Turkey struck a deal on the proposed safe zone on Tuesday, agreeing that Syrian and Russian forces would see Kurdish fighters and their weapons cleared from the zone.
Moscow and Ankara agreed that after six days, Russian, Russian and Turkish forces will patrol a 10-kilometer wide area along the length of the frontier.
The agreement expanded on a US-brokered ceasefire that had been set to expire late on Wednesday.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday that Turkish troops would not be deployed in the two cities of Manbij and Kobani. Syrian border guards and Russian military police began to arrive in the two cities — which lie to the west of Turkey's current military operations — on Wednesday.
US President Donald Trump lifted sanctions against Turkey, imposed in light of Ankara's ongoing offensive, on Wednesday. Trump declared that the ceasefire was now "permanent."
"Let someone else fight over this long blood-stained sand," Trump said in a White House speech.
US forces began a withdrawal from the border area, where it was conducting joint patrols with the Kurdish fighters who liberated much of the country from "Islamic State" (IS) militants, earlier this month. The withdrawal paved the way for Turkey to launch its offensive against the YPG, which it claims represents a terrorist threat on its southern flank.

Voter Intimidation and the Politicization of Justice
Last November's election was in many ways a high point. An energized electorate became engaged in a long and hard-fought campaign, and a young Senator captured the imagination of the nation. Turnout was high.
Yet, on Election Day, an obscure incident in Philadelphia served instead as a low point, and the story that has since evolved from that incident would make fair-minded Americans everywhere cringe. Individuals from the New Black Panther Party for Self Defense stood outside a Philadelphia polling place in uniforms, one of them swinging a nightstick, claiming to be providing security. Witnesses later recounted the men using racial slurs and intimidating would-be voters.
The right to cast a vote, by secret ballot, free from intimidation and coercion, is absolutely fundamental to the legitimacy of our form of government. It is a right that our veterans have fought and died defending. It is the right that separates our nation from the various tyrants and thugs around the world who give mere lip service to democracy.
The facts surrounding the case are not in question. A video of the two men is available on YouTube, where more than a million people have viewed it. Bartle Bull, a civil rights activist who worked with Robert F. Kennedy in an effort to secure voting rights for black voters in Mississippi during the 1960s, was present at the polling place that day and has been quoted as saying it was "the most blatant form of voter discrimination I have encountered in my life."
But the outrage surrounding the story does not end with the behavior of the men at the polling place that day.
Career lawyers at the Justice Department rightly pursued the case in order to bring charges. They worked on the case for months. The civil suit accused the men of "coercion, threats and intimidation...racial threats and insults...and menacing and intimidating gestures.”
This would appear to be a no brainer for prosecution. Few cases seem so clear-cut, with such convincing evidence. The men did not even show up to defend themselves against the charges, displaying as blatant a disregard for the case as they did for the rights of the individuals they intimidated on Election Day.
Yet now, political appointees at the Justice Department have stepped in and ordered the suit dropped. Apparently this Justice Department has no problem with voter intimidation or politicization of justice.
Eric Eversole, a former attorney with the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division of at the Department of Justice told the Washington Times, "It is truly unprecedented for the Voting Section to voluntarily dismiss a case of such blatant intimidation. The video speaks for itself."
With this move, the Justice Department has made clear it does not take voting rights seriously. It has indicated that threats and racist insults are acceptable behavior at our nation's polling places.
Almost as outrageous has been the muted response in the media. Aside from a few notably conservative publications and columnists, the story has gone mostly unreported.
This is unacceptable, for both the individuals who enforce our nation's laws and the press, who are supposed to hold government accountable. Critics of the Bush Administration were quick to accuse the Justice Department of politicizing justice. I cannot understand where those critics are now. This case is a blatant and offensive politicization of justice.
Career civil servants pursued this case for months, looking to uphold the law and punish voter intimidation. Political appointees stepped in to stop that from happening, with no proper explanation. How are observers to come to any conclusion aside from political interference? This case stinks of political actors dismissing justice to reward political loyalties.
The President should demand Attorney General Eric Holder reverse this decision and make things right. The legitimacy of our democratic process depends on the integrity of our elections and the even-handed distribution of justice. This case has violated both of these principles.

According to Section 11 of the Illinois Workers Compensation Act, accidental injuries incurred while participating in voluntary recreational programs – including but not limited to athletic events, parties, and picnics – do not arise out of and in the course of the employment even though the employer pays some or all of the cost thereof. This exclusion does not apply when the injured employee was ordered or assigned by his employer to participate in the program.
In general, relevant factors to be considered are:
- whether the petitioner’s participation was required as a condition of his employment, whether his compensation was contingent on his participation;
- whether employees were disciplined if they did not participate in the program; and,
- the extent to which the employer benefited from the employees’ attendance at the outing.
In terms of the case law on this issue, where an employee is given an option to either attend a recreational activity and be paid, take a day off without pay, or give up a personal/vacation day in order to be paid, the Illinois Appellate Court has held that it is inferred that the employee has been ordered or assigned to participate. (Woodrum v. Industrial Com’n, 336 Ill.App.3d. 561).
However, where the recreational activity is scheduled on a regularly scheduled business day and employees are given the option to either attend or to work the regular job all day and be paid for a full day regardless, the Illinois Appellate Court has held that the employee was not ordered or assigned to attend. (Gooden v. Industrial Com’n, 366 Ill.App.3d 1064). The court in the Gooden case contrasted the facts from the Woodrum case by noting that in Woodrum, employees were given the choice to attend or not attend the company event, but if they did not attend they would not be paid. In the Gooden case, the employees could have worked the regular job and would be paid whether they attended or not.
During the initial investigation into any injuries reportedly sustained during a recreational activity, it is important to confirm whether the employees were given the choice to work their regular day and be paid instead of attending the recreational event. As always, it is important to obtain any evidence of this via written correspondence or witnesses who can confirm verbal announcements. If you have any questions as to how these situations can best be investigated, please feel free to contact us about scheduling a seminar on the topic such as our recent presentation on this issue in conjunction with the Illinois Chamber of Commerce.
Thanks to I&F attorney Allison Mecher for this excellent summary of an all too common issue for employers. Allison represents Illinois employers from the firm’s Chicago offices.

But then it all fell apart:
The goal of Soviet zoologist Dmitry Belyaev’s 60-year experiment with silver foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in Siberia was to reveal the evolutionary and genetic bases of domestication.
The experiment, begun in 1959 at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics in Novosibirsk, Russia, was based solidly in conventional Darwinian evolution: The researchers would selectively breeding the friendliest foxes and track the inherited characteristics that accompany tameness.Denyse O’Leary, “Tame animals, not wild ones, are mysterious” at Mind Matters News
It all sounded like perfect schoolbook Darwinism. Until someone made a issue of the fact that the foxes were the descendants of already-tame foxes in Prince Edward Island (province) in Canada.
Tameness is still a mystery. Wildness isn’t.

Hello and welcome to the details of 1 minute and 17 seconds: Dubai Police chief honours patrol '512' for lightning response to emergencies and now with the details
Nevin Al Sukari - Abu Dhabi - Lieutenant General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri with the staff of Patrol 512 and other officials.
Gulf Today, Staff Reporter
It is common knowledge, specially to those who live in the UAE, that the police in the nation are the illuminating signposts of efficiency and security. In particular, Dubai Police stand out in this regard. They have a record that is the envy of other police forces in the world. They crack down on lowlifes or criminals, which includes drug smugglers, with a fierce intensity and toughness unparalleled anywhere not just in the region but also in the world.
However, they are also very gentle in their behaviour towards residents, totally devoid of the rude culture that marks some police outfits elsewhere on the globe. Little wonder then that have not only succeeded in tamping down crime but have also been shining beacons of help and humaneness to visitors and residents alike, be it in their response to queries or rescuing tourists stranded in the mountains.
They are also reputed for their lightning reflexes in responding to any crisis or emergency. In fact they have dealt with such situations in less than two minutes. The Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police, Lieutenant General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, recently honoured police officers of patrol ‘512’ who achieved an emergency response time of one minute and 17 seconds in Al Muraqqabat Police Station jurisdiction area, while the targeted response time was two minutes and 48 seconds, thus achieving the highest response rate among Dubai Police's stations in 2020.
The honouring ceremony was attended by Major General Expert Khalil Ibrahim Al Mansouri, Assistant Commander-in-Chief for Criminal Investigation Affairs; Brigadier Ali Ghanim, Director of Al Muraqqabat Police Station; Colonel Issa Ahmed Salem, Deputy Director of Al Muraqqabat Police Station, and a number of Dubai Police officers.

In high-income countries today a significant proportion of people with HIV do not know their infection status. Here are estimates of these proportions in a few high-income countries:
- Canada -- 21%
- France -- 19%
- UK -- 17%
- U.S. -- 13%
Not knowing one's infection status complicates efforts to reduce the spread of HIV and bring more people into care and treatment.
Studies have found that the initiation of potent combination anti-HIV therapy (commonly called ART) as early as possible after HIV infection helps to preserve the immune system and overall health. This means that people who start ART early in the course of HIV disease are at significantly reduced risk for developing serious illness and dying. Furthermore, by continuing to take ART every day, exactly as directed, the amount of HIV in a person's blood falls to very low levels and stays there. This tremendously decreases their risk for transmitting HIV.
Engaging Populations Through Social Media
Social media are important electronic or virtual spaces for some people that allow them to meet friends, build communities and find sexual partners. Therefore, it is important to provide information about HIV prevention education via social media.
Researchers in North Carolina have deployed a program called "CyBER/testing," which they describe as "an intervention designed to promote HIV testing among men who have sex with men and transgender persons who use social media designed for social and sexual networking." They found that implementation of CyBER/testing led to a marked increase in HIV testing.
Researchers conducted their study in two communities of similar population size, several hundred kilometres apart. One community received the intervention (described later) and the other did not. The intervention was delivered 9 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday in 2013 and 2014. In justifying this time deployed online, the researchers cited other studies that found the majority of people who are engaged in social media on the weekend and late at night are also online (on social media) during the weekday.
The researchers chose the following social media platforms in which to intervene:
According to the study team, in each social media platform, a health educator created a public profile and did the following:
- posted about HIV on his profile
- posted about the importance of HIV testing
- made users aware of his availability to answer questions about HIV testing, including the testing process, and provide the locations of testing sites
- posted about "additional opportunities" for testing, including non-clinical sites such as events at bars and clubs
These profiles and posts were available to anyone who chose to view them. The health educator communicated with clients via instant messaging.
Researchers asked online volunteers who viewed the health educator's profile to participate in the study and offered a small amount of money ($10 US) for participants who completed surveys. These surveys -- validated in a previous study -- collected information about participants so that researchers could assess their sexual, drug-using and HIV testing behaviours.
A total of 1,292 people chose to participate in the study. On average, participants were 40 years old and while many (about 50%) identified as gay, 36% identified as bisexual and 13% identified as straight. About 2% identified as transgender.
Participants were randomly assigned to receive the intervention or no intervention.
Immediately after participants were recruited, researchers enquired about their past HIV testing behaviour to find out whether they had ever been tested for HIV. The researchers found that there was no initial, or baseline, difference in past HIV testing rates between participants who were assigned to receive the intervention and those who were not.
However, after the intervention, testing rates changed significantly in one group -- those who received the intervention. The rates of HIV testing were as follows:
- initial proportion ever tested for HIV -- 35%
- proportion at end of study tested for HIV -- 64%
- initial proportion ever tested for HIV -- 39%
- proportion at end of study tested for HIV -- 42%
When researchers adjusted their findings -- taking into account sexual orientation, ethno-racial identity, specific social media platforms -- they found that people who received the intervention were almost three-fold more likely to engage in HIV testing compared to people who did not receive the intervention.
The researchers stated that their intervention had "several positive characteristics," which they listed as follows:
- "The intervention was implemented among users in [virtual communities], at a time when many of them may be thinking about sex."
- The health educator "had a presence within social media and was available as needed." He responded when users needed him "based on their priorities."
- The project's intervention reached men who have sex with men "who may be more difficult to reach in physical spaces." This is particularly important "given that nearly half of the [participants] self-identified as bisexual or straight." The researchers stated that such men might not necessarily be reached and educated through "gay-oriented venues."
- The researchers also noted that their intervention was relatively "easy to implement, and only required a trained health educator with Internet access." Therefore, this type of intervention may be of interest to other health departments and agencies that wish to enhance interest and access to HIV testing and education.
It is noteworthy that more than 75% of participants declined compensation for the study.
Now and for the Future
The research team stated that the results from its study might be "transferrable to current ... GPS-based mobile 'hook-up' applications such as Radar, Grindr, Jack'd and Scruff."
Furthermore, the researchers added: "The next generation of global messaging apps [such as WhatsApp and WeChat] are predicted to have advertising capabilities that potentially may be harnessed for health promotion."
In concluding their report, the research team said that its study "highlights the value of using existing social media to address the unique challenges faced by [some] communities to increase HIV testing and support sexual health."

Depression is not a normal or necessary part of aging. Senior depression can be treated, and with the right support, treatment, and self-help strategies you can feel better and live a happy and vibrant life.
Dogs in particular can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, ease loneliness, encourage exercise and playfulness, and even improve your cardiovascular health. Caring for a dog can help children grow up more secure and active or provide valuable companionship for older adults. Perhaps most importantly, though, a dog can add real joy and unconditional love to your life.
Professionals working in primary healthcare settings are likely to come into contact with older adults suffering with anxiety disorders. These disorders are often difficult to distinguish from the normal worries of older adults, from nervous personalities, physical illnesses with symptoms similar to some that accompany anxiety, and mental and emotional changes related to the development of cognitive impairment or dementia.
Although anxiety disorders are common at all ages, there is a misconception that their prevalence drastically declines with age. For this reason anxiety disorders often are underdiagnosed and undertreated in geriatric patients, especially when the clinical presentation of these disorders in older patients differs from that seen in younger adults.
Excessive anxiety that causes distress or that interferes with daily activities is not a normal part of aging, and can lead to a variety of health problems and decreased functioning in everyday life. Between 3% and 14% of older adults meet the criteria for a diagnosable anxiety disorder.
Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent mental health conditions, and in any given year, about 10% of adults aged 65 and older experience a diagnosable anxiety disorder. Over their lifetimes, about 15% of those who survive past the age of 65 will have had an anxiety disorder.
Prevalence of anxiety disorders in the elderly is high. Current research shows that between 5.5 and 10% of seniors are suffering from an anxiety disorder. Their prevalence is even higher in persons living in institutions like a retirement home. Among them, women are twice as likely to suffer from an anxiety disorder as men. Anxiety disorders are at least two times more frequent than depression in the elderly.
The authors reviewed data to assess the prevalence of suicide ideation among community-dwelling older adults and the relationship between suicide ideation, major psychiatric disorder, and mental health service.
Suicide in later life is a global public health problem. The aim of this review was to conduct a systematic analysis of studies with comparison groups that examined the associations between social factors and suicidal behavior (including ideation, non-fatal suicidal behavior, or deaths) among individuals aged 65 and older.
People 65 years and older, particularly men, have the highest suicide rate of any other group. This contradicts a popular misconception that the highest rate is among the young. The Baby Boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964) have had higher suicide rates than previous generations.

What foods are high in trimethylamine?
Also know, what foods should be avoided with Trimethylaminuria?
Foods to avoid
- cows' milk.
- seafood and shellfish – freshwater fish is fine.
- liver and kidney.
- supplements containing lecithin.
Beside above, what causes high Tmao? TMAO is formed after you eat foods containing a substance called choline, which is a nutrient found not only in red meat, but also eggs, fish, and poultry. As bacteria in your gut feast on the choline, they produce a substance called trimethylamine (TMA). Your liver takes that TMA and converts it into TMAO.
Thereof, how do I reduce trimethylamine?
Taking low doses of antibiotics to reduce the amount of bacteria in the gut. This suppresses the production of trimethylamine. Taking laxatives can decrease intestinal transit time and reduce the amount of trimethylamine produced in the gut.
Is Trimethylaminuria dangerous?
Because many patients have associated body odours or halitosis, trimethylaminuria sufferers can meet serious difficulties in a social context, leading to other problems such as isolation and depression.

Project: Conversion & New Build Care Home Development
Contract Duration: n/a
Contract Sum: n/a
Varco has been approached and instructed by a local established Care Home to design a new care home scheme as part of the expansion of their business. The existing site comprised a Grade II listed building and general landscaping. Having taken the Clients brief, the team at Varco proposed various design concepts in line with conservation principles, ensuring the new build development remained subservient to the existing vicarage.
The scheme consisted the conversion of the existing vicarage and a new build development accommodating 26no bedrooms.
The team at Varco prepared photo montages of the new development to illustrate its sensitive and respective setting to the listed building to assist in the planning process. This also enabled the Client to visualise the concept being proposed prior to construction works commencing.
After months of continuous hard work, pre-application discussions and multiple schemes, the team at Varco, along with DPP, finally secured planning permission for a 32no bed care home development and listed building consent for the alterations to the existing vicarage.

While epic blockbusters like this are good for a visit to the cinema, chances are you’ll be questioning while you’ll be capable of watch the Titan and Nice Ape team-up from the consolation of your personal house. Right here’s every thing we all know to date.
You may as well discover out whether or not Godzilla x Kong has a post-credits scene, and once we anticipate tickets for Deadpool and Wolverine to go on sale.
The right way to watch Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire now
Godzilla x Kongis out now solely in cinemas. If you wish to get your tickets you are able to do so from Cineworld, Odeon and Vue within the UK, and AMC and Fandango within the US.
Watch the official trailer beneath:
If you wish to watch it at house, then chances are you’ll be in for a little bit wait.
When might Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire be launched on VOD?
Warner movies usually come to digital platforms first, relatively than streaming companies and DVD.
There’s been no affirmation on when Godzilla x Kong will likely be obtainable to lease or purchase. Warner Bros. motion pictures normally launch on VOD round six to eight weeks after their cinematic debuts. Nevertheless, this time can range relying on field workplace efficiency.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire releases on 29 March 2024. So, if it follows the everyday sample, we should always see it land on VOD platforms like Amazon Prime Video and Google Mess around middle-to-late Might 2024.
When might Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire be launched on DVD/Blu-ray?
Just like the digital launch, the date of the bodily launch of the most recent MonsterVerse movie has not been confirmed.
DVDs from Warner normally come not too lengthy after the VOD drop. If our prediction of the VOD launch is appropriate, then a Might/June DVD launch of Godzilla x Kong is feasible.

When might Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire be launched on streaming companies?
Warner Bros. movies usually come to streaming companies final, following the VOD and DVD launches.
The dates of when a movie can land range wildly relying on how effectively they do in cinemas. For instance, the field workplace hit Barbie landed on Max 5 months after its run in cinemas, while Aquaman 2 took simply two months.
Subsequently, predicting a date for the streaming launch of Godzilla x Kong is sort of tough. The earliest it may very well be launched is in late Might, however equally it may very well be a lot later within the 12 months.
The field workplace figures over the approaching weeks ought to give indication of while you’ll be capable of stream it. Because it’s a Warner movie, it should virtually actually come to Max in America and Sky/Now within the UK.


I’m happy that the story about the very first female state governor in the U.S. takes place here in the Great Plains. Nellie Tayloe Ross was born Nellie Tayloe Wynns at St. Joseph, Missouri, on November 29, 1876.
Nellie Tayloe was a school teacher in Omaha, Nebraska before she met her husband, William Bradford Ross. The couple moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming. William established a law practice in the city and also became a leader in the Wyoming Democratic Party. William ran for public office many times, however, he always lost to the Republican candidates.
Finally, William Ross captured the Wyoming Governor’s office by campaigning on progressive values, which appealed to voters in both major parties. After about a year-and-a-half as Governor, William Ross died of medical complications after an appendectomy. A special election was scheduled to fill the vacancy. The Democratic Party placed the name of his widow, Nellie Tayloe Ross into nomination.
Nellie Tayloe refused any campaign efforts. She did manage to win the election by a comfortable margin on November 4, 1924. Then on January 5, 1925, she was sworn in to become the very first female governor in the U.S. History was made on her swearing-in, because Miriam, Ma, Ferguson was elected Texas Governor, also on November 4th. But Ross officially assumed her official duties 16 days earlier than Ferguson.
Nellie Tayloe’s administration was a continuation of her late husband’s. Her policies included tax cuts, banking reform, legislation to protect miners, children, and female laborers. She spearheaded Wyoming’s ratification of a pending federal constitutional amendment to prohibit child labor. Nellie Tayloe was a strong advocate of alcohol prohibition.
Nellie Tayloe Ross filed for re-election in 1926. But, once again, she refused to campaign for herself. Her views on prohibition were widely known. Ross lost the election by a narrow margin. Ross remained in politics, as she later was elected to the Wyoming state legislature.
Ross remained very active in the Democratic Party. During the 1928 Presidential campaign, she supported candidate Al Smith. Interestingly, Ross received 31 votes from ten states on the first ballot for Vice-President. Following the convention, Ross served as vice-chairman of the Democratic National Committee. She also served as the director of the Women’s Division of the DNC.
On May 3, 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt appointed Nellie Tayloe as the first female director of the U.S. Mint. During her administration, she initiated the steel Lincoln penny to save resources during World War Two. Ross supervised the introduction of the Jefferson nickel and the Roosevelt dime.
She served 20 years, five terms until her retirement in 1953 when Dwight Eisenhower took control of the Presidency. Nellie Tayloe Ross retired to her home in Washington D.C. until her death on December 20, 1977, at the age of 101.
The Blue Jay of Happiness notes that Nellie Tayloe Ross’ only prior political experience before her governorship was as an executive officer of the Cheyenne Women’s Club.

Lately I've been really inspired by Viktor Vauthier's photography. These pretty girls with a grungey eyeliner and cigarette look. The laundry room at Angie's apartment complex is kinda creepy, so I thought it would be a cool place to take pictures. I used to paint a lot and I always liked to put an eeriness into my paintings. I want to try to do that with some of my outfit posts, like taking pictures in old buildings or spooky woods. I have to start scouting out some new locations.
Has anyone ever noticed that Gloria Estefan's "Rhythm is Gonna Get You" and "Wanna Be Startin' Something" by Michael Jackson have the same melody? Not the whole song, but just the title lines. Go listen to them. I swear it's the same! Does anyone know which song came first?

Fox News Gives GOP Senator A Pass For Botching Constitutionality Of Gun Laws
Blog ››› ››› SERGIO MUNOZ
Fox News correspondent John Roberts ignored Sen. Ted Cruz's inaccurate claim that gun violence prevention is "unconstitutional" while guest hosting Fox News Sunday. The following morning on MSNBC's Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough highlighted Roberts' failure to correct Cruz's extreme talking point, one that even conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia rejected in District of Columbia v. Heller.
From the January 6 edition of Fox News Sunday (via Nexis):
ROBERTS: Gun control -- you probably heard the last segment. We're talking about 10 bills introduced in the House of Representatives regarding gun control. Joe Biden is leading a study group at the White House. You are a fierce defender of Second Amendment rights. You were in like 2010, given the NRA's Freedom Fund Award.
Is there any new gun control that you would accept?
CRUZ: The reason we are discussing this is it the tragedy in Newtown. And every parent, my wife and I, we've got two girls aged 4 and aged 2 -- every parent was horrified at what happened there. To see 20 children, six adults senselessly murdered, it takes your breath away.
But within minutes, we saw politician running out and trying to exploit this tragedy, try to push their political agenda of gun control.
I do not support their gun control agenda for two reasons. Number one, it's unconstitutional.
ROBERTS: But is there that you would accept?
CRUZ: I don't think the proposals being discussed now makes sense.
Cruz's repetition of the NRA talking point on Fox News Sunday that the "gun control agenda" is "unconstitutional" was especially notable because he is a well-credentialed attorney who clerked for former Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that "gun control" is not unconstitutional, most recently in the landmark ruling of Heller that clarified the individual right to possess firearms. In fact, Cruz's endorsement of the NRA position is not only legally incorrect, it contradicts Justice Scalia's majority opinion:
Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. From Blackstone through the 19th-century cases, commentators and courts routinely explained that the right was not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.
[N]othing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.
We also recognize another important limitation on the right to keep and carry arms. [United States v.] Miller said, as we have explained, that the sorts of weapons protected were those "in common use at the time." We think that limitation is fairly supported by the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of "dangerous and unusual weapons.
Because Cruz, a new Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is expected to know very recent and high-profile Supreme Court precedent, Fox's Roberts should have given Cruz an opportunity to correct himself on the constitutionality of "gun control." As explained by The New York Times in reference to the reports of the gun violence prevention task force recommendations that Cruz was commenting on, "[a]lthough the N.R.A. is sure to cry "Second Amendment!," the truth is that there's not a single Second-Amendment restriction in Mr. Biden's law-enforcement approved list."
Instead, that task fell to Scarborough and fellow Morning Joe regulars, who questioned how Cruz and Fox News Sunday could botch Heller without any explanation or follow-up:
SCARBOROUGH: Let me ask you a question, Mark Halperin. You know Ted Cruz, right?
MARK HALPERIN: I do.
SCARBOROUGH: A smart, gifted guy?
HALPERIN: He's a very smart man.
SCARBOROUGH: Has he ever read the Constitution, do you know?
HALPERIN: I'm certain that he has.
SCARBOROUGH: Isn't he like a lawyer, or something like that?
HALPERIN: He is, he's an esteemed lawyer, he was Solicitor General of Texas...
SCARBOROUGH: He's a Harvard Law graduate. So you think he's probably read a Supreme Court case before?
HALPERIN: I'm certain he has.
SCARBOROUGH: You think maybe he's read Heller, the Supreme Court...
SCARBOROUGH: Seminal case on the Second Amendment, on the definition of what's constitutional and unconstitutional, you think he's read that?
SCARBOROUGH: It's hard to know, but you would think he probably would, right? Because if he had...
HALPERIN: He would know?
SCARBOROUGH: He would not say that background checks are unconstitutional. Or any of the things that have been brought up are unconstitutional. Because the Supreme Court clearly and unequivocally said that Americans have a right to keep and bear arms, and that means keeping handguns in their home. That means being able to protect their families in their home. But they gave wide latitude to the government to regulate guns in every way that people determine.
I disagree with a lot of [Sen.] Dianne Feinstein's suggestions and recommendations, but background checks, the banning of military-style assault weapons, the banning of high-capacity magazine clips, it's all constitutional under Heller. It's not even a close call.

Celebrity pairings is a common thing in showbiz industry around the world, because a story always requires people that will play a couple. In other countries, they don’t pair their actor with just one actress and vice versa. It’s always a new pair in every new project. But here in the Philippines, we have what we call a “Love Team”. It’s basically two celebrities that are paired together not just in one project but almost all their work. However, Love Teams are largely formed by how fans react to them. If the fans love them and support them all through out, then it’s a go; but if the love team did not click with the public, then it means, it’s time to break up.
But, many love teams have already been proven with the test of time. It doesn’t matter if they are already paired with other actors or actresses, because the love of the fans for those love teams is extraordinary. Just like the love team of Kristine Hermosa and Jericho Rosales, Jolina Magdangal and Marvin Agustin, and Claudine Barretto and Rico Yan.
And now, these love teams are trying to carve their names along with those iconic love teams. Take a look at 2017's hottest love teams:
McCoy de Leon and Elisse Joson “McLisse”
-Their love team started when they were still inside the PBB House.
Miguel Tanfelix and Bianca Umali
-One of GMA 7’s leading love teams.
Nash Aguas and Alexa Ilacad “NLex"
-the former “Goin’ Bulilit” stars started their love team when they were paired in “Luv U”
Xian Lim and Kim Chiu “KimXi”
-This “chinoy” and “chinay” are really cute together. They were paired officially in the series “My Binondo Girl”
Joshua Garcia and Julia Barretto “JoshLia”
-This adorable love team started in the film “Vince and Kath and James”.
Elmo Magalona and Janella Salvador “ElNella”
-after transferring from Kapuso to Kapamilya, Elmo Magalona’s first Kapamilya love team is Janella until now.
Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza “AlDub”
-the love team that started in “Eat Bulagas’s: Kalyeserye”
Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo “KathNiel”
-The” King and Queen of Hearts” started their wonderful team up in the teen-oriented show “Growing Up” and continued to be the best love team of this generation.
James Reid and Nadine Lustre “JaDine”
-Their on screen love turned real when the two were doing the series “On The Wings Of Love” or “OTWOL” as many fans referred to it.
Enrique Gil and Liza Soberano “LizQuen”
-Their super cute love team started in the teleserye “Forevermore” and continued their way to “Dolce Amore’

Reviews - What do customers think about Emily's Runaway Imagination?
Pretty Good.......but needs improvement Nov 14, 2005
Emily's Runaway Imagination is about Emily wanting to have a library in her community, so she could read Black Beauty. Her mother decides to write a letter to the mayor so he could get a library for her community. The mayor said yes to the question as a situation. The library starts, People donated books, no Black Beauty. People donate money, still no Black Beauty. During a hard times party, Emily wins second prize, so she gets one dollar. Adding the amount her grandpa gave her for sitting on the chair still she bought a mixer for her mother and also.........Black Beauty! I gave it a minus star because Beverly Cleary used too many characters. It is a very confusing that way. I gave her four stars because : 1. She explained things pretty much well. 2. She used lots of onimonipia. 3. She described things well. 4. She wrote it in a child friendly way.
Emily's Runaway Imagination Mar 26, 2003
Emily's Runaway Imagination by Bevery Cleary is a good story. Emily is a girl who lives on a farm. She had some wild ideas. She wanted her father's horse to turn into a snow-white steed so, she tried to bleach it with Clorox. One of her good ideas was to set up a library in her town. I liked this story because it made me laugh. It's fun to read about crazy things kids do. The author wrote a realistic fiction to show us how to have crazy ideas. She also wanted us to see that we should not always do the crazy things that pop into our head!
A lively book, about a spunky girl! Feb 11, 2003
Emily Bartlett just wants a library. So, her mother writes in for one, and guess what! Pitchfork is going to have a library! While waiting for the books to arrive from Salem, Emily feeds the hogs a treat, bleeches a horse, and scares her cousin half to death. Mama doesn't really know how Emily can get into so much trouble, she just says "Emily, don't let your imagination run away with you!" Emily does try, but hey, if you live in the west, during a time when cars are new, airplanes are hardley ever seen, and no one has dreamed up the TV yet, what are you supposed to do?
Very charming, lovely and nostalgic Nov 11, 2002
I just reread this book as a teacher/adult. I read it as a child almost twenty years ago, I liked it back then too. Very sweet and humorous. It is a great picture of Americana with Grandpa's automobile, Sunday after-church picnics, and party-line telephones! And then the pigs with the rotton apples during Mama's elegant party. Terrific!! I can see the characters in my grandparents.
Great way to remind children to get outside and play or read instead of sitting in front of the television. How did we survive with out video games? The computer? Wonderful to read aloud for quality time.
Beverly Cleary was my favorite author as a child. Now as a teacher and parent, I get to share her books with a new generation.
charming Jun 18, 2002
Unlike most of Beverly Cleary's books, this one is based on the author's early childhood on a farm in Yamhill in the early twentieth century. It is a wonderful glimpse into the life of a little girl who licked the stamp on the envelope that led to the first town library. (The author's real-life childhood was not nearly so idyllic, but her love for the farm and the old country and town people shines through.) This book is unique and wonderful.

HOWTO: Setup Minecraft Server on Raspberry Pi 3
Download the Rasbian Lite IMG:
Use Etcher to write the image to your microSD card.
Once written boot up Raspbian in your Pi and carry out the following:
Configure your wireless connection if needed:
wpa_passphrase "ESSID" "Password" | sudo tee -a /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf > /dev/null
Where ESSID and Password are wireless network name and connection password respectively.
Upgrade your system:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-jdk
Enable SSH via Interface Options
Finish and Reboot
Install Nukkit (the git clone link by default would be https://github.com/Nukkit/, but it didn't support the latest Minecraft version so I found another fork and specific branch)
sudo apt-get install -y git
sudo apt-get install -y maven
git clone -b GT1.2 https://github.com/Creeperface01/Nukkit.git
git submodule update --init
Now run for the first time and setup the appropriate language:
/usr/bin/java -jar /home/pi/Nukkit/target/nukkit-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
Now run the server at boot by adding a command to crontab:
Paste the following into crontab:
@reboot sudo /usr/bin/java -jar /home/pi/Nukkit/target/nukkit-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
If you want to access this from anywhere in the world, and not just your local network then your should have your own domain name, then you can forward all connections to your specific machine. Go into your router, forward the specific port (for me it was 19678) to the IP of the machine running Nukkit.

If I had a good excuse to bake cakes every day, I think I would.
My family had a birthday party for my parents the other day, and I was asked to bake the cake. I immediately whipped out my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook and flipped to the cake section.
Spice cake? nah. German chocolate cake? My family isn’t too fond of coconut… White? Boring, we’re more of a chocolate family.
Devil’s food cake?
And a Sour Cream Chocolate Frosting to top it off? Double yes.
I tabbed the page with a sticky note, eagerly awaiting Saturday afternoon when I could smell this slice of heaven rising in the oven.
Devil’s Food Cake
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/3 cups cold water
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9 inch round pans, line the bottoms with parchment paper, and grease the parchment paper. Set aside.
2. Stir together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl beat shortening with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 30 seconds. Add the sugar and vanilla; beat until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Add the flour mixture and the water alternately to beaten mixture, beating on low speed after each addition until combined. Pour evenly into greased pans.
5. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean in the center. Cool the cakes in the pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from rack and cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
Sour Cream Chocolate Frosting
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1. In a medium saucepan or double boiler melt the chocolate and butter over low heat stirring frequently until butter and chocolate are melted. Cool for 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the sour cream to the chocolate, then gradually add the powdered sugar, beating with an electric mixer until the frosting is smooth and easy to spread.
3. Store the frosted cake in the refrigerator.
My Two Cents: I’ve found that you really cannot go wrong with cake recipes in the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. They always rise to perfection, have just the right amount of moisture, and taste amazing. If you don’t have this cookbook, go out and buy it–it’s a great staple cookbook to have around.
This cake actually turned out bigger than I expected, which is a wonderful thing. I’ve made many a box cake in my day, and the height of this 9 inch cake compared to a box mix 9 inch cake was crazy. Look at that piece. Fat and wonderful.
The chocolate sour cream frosting was the perfect addition to this cake. I love pairing frostings with cakes and cupcakes, and I love making frostings that are beyond just powdered sugar and shortening/butter. Sour cream adds a distinct kick.
Also, I’d like to note that this cake was gone by the end of the night. :)

What better way to fill out the empty slot in the Sewing for Kindergarten guest posts that happened today because sweet Celina from Petit a Petit & Family offered to help me edit my Project Run and Play photos and ended up spending so much time on it that we had to postpone her post today.

Rio Olympics 2016 Ends With A Spectacular Closing Ceremony
The Rio Olympics 2016 has officially ended with a spectacular, colorful, and carnival-themed closing ceremony as the official handover of the Olympic flag to the 2020 Olympic host, Tokyo.
After a long journey of the athletes who fight for their country's pride and glory, the Olympics has ended giving them life lessons, precious memories, and the colorful and memorable closing ceremony that made everyone amazed.
The closing ceremony was held in Maracana and it lasted for almost three hours. The program is consists of celebrating Brazil arts and the highlights of the ceremony is the showcase of Tokyo's impressive and colorful carnival parade.
Japan is the next country to host the Summer Olympics. The closing ceremony included a Tokyo 2020 handover presentation. Japan showed a video in which prime minister, Shinzo Abe catches a red ball symbolizing the Japan's flag. Abe's job is to get the ball from Tokyo to the handover in Rio, but he's running late. So, naturally, he transforms into Nintendo's Mario-from the Super Mario video game series and darts into a pipe with some assistance from manga character Doraemon, and drills his way through the planet to Rio. On this evidence, Tokyo 2020 will be slick, futuristic, and completely bananas.
The carnival began towards the end of the show. There's a legendary Brazillian love of a party, of noise, of color and of jiggling your bottom around a lot in outrageous get-ups began to shine through. All of the athletes are out of their chairs, dancing and enjoying this amazing fireworks show. It was all spectacular and mind-blowing memories for everyone who witnessed the closing ceremony. It is more of a feeling of entering a world of fairy tale.
"These were a marvellous Olympics, in a marvellous city. Over the last 16 days a united Brazil inspired the world, in difficult times for all of us, with its irresistible joy for life," said by the International Olympic Committee chief, Thomas Bach.
The last act of the closing ceremony is a tribute to honor the musicality of the Brazilian people. The Olympic flame was extinguished and ends it with confetti and fireworks show.


The Triumph V8 was a 3.0L SOHC twin-carb motor made from 1971 to 1977. And just knowing that info, you’d assume it’s pretty cool. But the Triumph V8 was riddled with designed-in faults so cad that it shouldn’t have left the factory.
Our story starts with the Triumph SOHC I4 motor found in the Dolomite. A happy, revvy, and peppy engine, it was available in sizes ranging between 1.2 and 1.7 liters. So when Triumph decided that their old 2.5L I6 wouldn’t cut it in their sleek new Stag, they decided to make their own V8 by mashing two I4's together.
The Triumph I4 was actually designed with “twinning” in mind so it wasn’t a completely outrageous concept. The trouble was the execution. The trouble began immediately. Early prototypes were 2.5L V8s topped with Bosch mechanical fuel injection. The injection couldn’t be made to work properly so it was abandoned in favor of two Stromberg carburetors. (Collectively attached by a single bolt to the intake) The carbs were reliable but didn’t make as much power as the injected version so displacement had to be increased.
They increased the displacement by expanding the cylinder bores which choked the water passages and made them smaller. They now had a larger engine with less cooling capacity.
Other bits of design brilliance include a water pump mounted on top of the engine, a coolant fill cap that was not at the highest point of the cooling system, a single row timing chain that needed to be replaced every 25,000 miles and more.
But the crown jewel of the Triumph V8 were its head studs mounted at an angle to each other that promoted head warpage. The list goes on. I wrote a super nerdy article on Driving.ca if you want more detail.
Has a worse engine ever been made?

Amarillo is the fourteenth largest city in Texas and one of the happiest places in America, according to WalletHub. No wonder one of Amarillo’s nicknames is “the friendly city.”
But folks don’t visit Amarillo just for its people. The place is also known for its unusual attractions that a lot of people come to see each year. If you are into cars, weird exhibits, and fascinating illusions, you have clicked on the right article. Here’s a list of four weird things to see and discover while you are in Amarillo.
Cadillac Ranch is a must-see art installation and sculpture in a Texas field in Amarillo. This unusual installation was built in 1974 by a local artist and prankster Stanley Marsh, who died in 2014. When he was asked about his work, Stanley said, “Art is a legalized form of insanity, and I do it very well.”
The fascinating art piece consists of ten Cadillac cars that are half-buried, covered in graffiti, and positioned nose-down. If you plan on going to see the installation, don’t forget to bring your own spray paint. Visitors at Cadillac Ranch are encouraged to add more graffiti on the cars. So don’t hesitate on buying some cans before you go for a visit.
Another sculpture by Stanley Marsh called the Floating Mesa is a piece that makes it look like the top part of the mesa is floating in the sky. The line blends in perfectly with the sky, and that’s why it works. Unfortunately, the illusion can only be seen on one side, but it is nonetheless a pretty cool and unique thing to go see.
Consider booking a hotel in Amarillo that is located conveniently near these and other locations on the list. That way, you can take your time and see more than you could during a day trip or pit stop.
Jack Sisemore RV Museum
Jack Sisemore’s museum defines nostalgia! It’s a museum that started collecting vintage RVs from the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s over 25 years ago. The museum is completely free to visit and is open on Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Get ready to step back in time, but beware! After visiting the museum, you might get hit by the RV bug and find yourself shopping around for a new camper. You have been warned!
Although Combine City is a similar sight to Cadillac Ranch, it’s still a must-see off Route 66. Instead of Cadillacs, you will get to see 14 combines that are a little buried, but not half-way, because the farmer who had the idea wanted it to look like the combines are planted instead of buried. The combines are massive, and if you are interested in farming, then this will definitely catch your attention.
Unfortunately, at Combine City, you aren’t able to spray paint the combines. The cans you have left from visiting Cadillac Ranch should be left behind.
The list of fun and weird things to do and see in Amarillo goes on and on. With so many things to explore, this city is a fascinating place to visit, whether you plan to spend a few hours or a few days.

~~ Review Script ~~
Directed by Sam Raimi and released in May of 2002, this friendly superhero adventure film quickly set the record for largest opening weekend gross of all-time, eventually earning over 820-million dollars, and launching a wildly successful trilogy of movies starring Tobey Maquire as the titular, spider-bitten hero. As with most initial installments, the first act of this picture deals exclusively with the origin story of Spider-man, and the first of his many villains, the Green Goblin - played with a deranged duality by seasoned actor William Dafoe. The early montages that share hapless teen Maquire discovering his new powers, and how best to design a crime-fighting persona around them are relatable, funny, and immensely enjoyable to watch unfold. Despite being unquestionably talented, the beautiful Kirsten Dunst plays the dough-eyed love-interest with an unfortunate amount of confusion and corniness... rather than a suitable equal to Maquire's much more expansive, yet nuanced performance. Luckily, the at-the-time new-comer James Franco picks up the slack in the supporting cast department with a wonderfully conflicted performance that kick-started this Oscar-nominated actor's very successful career. Cliff Roberston and J.K. Simmons contribute limited, but astonishingly memorable performances as Uncle Ben, and the Daily Buggle's chief editor, respectively. Assisted by tremendous special-effects, and a wonderful score by Danny Elfman, the nail-biting action sequences here are incredibly well-done, exciting to watch, and easy to follow. They expertly transform this playful teen-romance drama into a big-budget popcorn film, while still maintaining it's heart and purpose. Dunst's upside-down kiss with her web-crawling hero remains one of the lasting images of early 21st-century cinema. The dialogue is overly hokey and expositional most of the time, but the story itself is an iconic one, cleverly adapted for modern fans of the decades-old comic. Despite it's missteps, this is a playful, and light-hearted adventure that deserves to be applauded for it's skillful adaptation, and entertaining execution -- ending with a powerful final scene that skillfully sets up the equally impressive sequel. Definitely worth-watching more than once, "Spider-Man", is "Relatable, emotional, and amazingly fun".

Profiles of dissolved oxygen were measured in pore waters of unburrowed sediment and the burrow walls of seven invertebrate dwellings. Burrows studied include those of Corophium volutator, Heteromastus filiformis, Arenicola marina, Saccoglossus bromophenolosus, Clymenella sp., Hemigrapsus oregonensis and Cirriformia luxuriosa all from mudflats in Willapa Bay, Washington. These animals comprise a range of burrow architectures ranging from simple, unlined burrows to more complex, mucous lined burrows. Oxygen penetrated unburrowed sediment between depths of 0.4–2.6 mm, whereas oxygen penetrated the burrow walls from 0.3 mm to 2.3 mm. Three groups of burrows are recognized based on the oxygen diffusive properties relative to the unburrowed sediment including those that: (1) slightly impeded oxygen penetration, (2) clearly inhibited oxygen penetration, and (3) enhanced oxygen penetration. Differences in the diffusive properties of the burrow wall are related to the burrow microstructure and presumably the microbial communities living within the burrow microenvironment. The results of this study suggest that burrow shape and burrow-wall architecture may play an important role in controlling the diffusion of oxygen, and possibly of other dissolved gases (i.e. CO2, H2S). The results further demonstrate that simplified assumptions (i.e. that bioturbation uniformly enhances oxygen diffusion into suboxic and anoxic sediments), while requisite for numerical modelling, are not necessarily representative of field data.

Organic Chilli Powder Standard Jar - 50g - Steenbergs details and description
Steenbergs Organic Chilli Powder - or organic ground chilli - is made by grinding hot, dried organic chillies and should not to be confused with Mexican-style chile powder which is mixed with cumin and other herbs. There is a vast range of different types of chili where some are sold within Steenbergs specialist chilli section. Heat levels vary from mild through to death-defyingly hot, but with Steenbergs Organic Chili Powder we take dried organic chillis that we grind and blend to go for a consistent heat of around 50,000 Scoville units, which is plenty of heat for most of us. Add as much organic chilli or as little as you and your guests desire.
Steenbergs Organic Chilli is a blended chilli of mid spicy heat of about 50,000 SHUs - currently it's 47,600 SHUs. Chilli plants vary considerably in size, appearance and heat. Capsicum annuum is a herb or small shrub, with oval leaves and firm woody stems, growing to 1 metre high (3ft). They are usually grown as annuals as the yield of chilli fruits diminishes after the first year. The chilli pod is a many seeded red berry with a shiny skin that comes in a wide variety of shapes, colours, thickness and spicy heat.
The aroma and flavour of fresh chillis is distinctly capsicum-like, with a hint of sweetness. Their pungent bite comes from the levels of capsaicin present in the fruit; capsaicin causes the brain to release endorphins and so feelings of wellbeing. To make dry chillis, the fresh chillies are dried indoors at 20-25C (68-77F) to allow them to fully ripen, then they are dried outside on concrete floors, roofs of buildings or woven mats. At night they are heaped into piles and covered with tarpaulins to protect them, before being spread out again during the day. It takes roughly three days for the moisture content to be brought down to 10% from 70-80% when fresh; as an approximation, 100kg of fresh chillies yields 25-35kg of dried chilli spice. For more information on chilli pepper, visit Wikipedia.
With the popularity of Indian cooking, we have become very fond of chilli in our food, whether dried or via a table sauce. I am forever adding some heat from a sauce to add some spice into insipid and bland chicken, soup or vegetables. Why not also make a simple sauce by adding 3 or 4 fresh chillies or dried organic Birds Eye chilli to a bottle of sherry for a few days, then adding it to food as and when needed? Chilli powder combines well with almost all other spices and is found in recipes ranging from bhajis through to chutneys and tomato ketchup. For more inspiration, try the BBC Website.
My favourite spice is Chilli, as it is so versatile, whether it is dry or fresh, and they are brill grilled or on a barbeque
Steenbergs Organic Chilli Powder is a core to Steenbergs UK range of over 400 organic spices, peppers, seasonings, herbs and flavoured sugars. It can be found in many of our retail stockists; for your nearest outlet, you can search our stockist database, ring Steenbergs on 01765 640 088 or email us at email@example.com.
Spice - season - savour (sustainably) with Steenbergs.

Currently, live views from the International Space Station (ISS) are streaming from an external camera mounted on the ISS module called Node 2. Node 2 is located on the forward part of the ISS. The camera is looking forward at an angle so that the International Docking Adapter 2 (IDA2) is visible. If the Node 2 camera is not available due to operational considerations for a longer period of time, a continuous loop of recorded HDEV imagery will be displayed. The loop will have “Previously Recorded” on the image to distinguish it from the live stream from the Node 2 camera. After HDEV stopped sending any data on July 18, 2019, it was declared, on August 22, 2019, to have reached its end of life.
