Bestselling contemporary romance author Laura Moore's first story filled a coffee stained notebook before she realized she might actually have penned a love story that others would enjoy. Ride A Dark Horse was published a year later.
An accomplished rider and lifelong animal lover, Laura Moore lives in Rhode Island with her husband, two children, their black lab, and their cat, Zevon, who keeps them all in line.
A self-made woman with a sweet, successful life discovers that even the best-laid plans are no match for unexpected passion in this brand-new series from award-winning author Laura Moore.
As the responsible daughter of an irresponsible socialite, Dakota Hale has plenty of practice catering to the whims of the rich and spoiled—and she’s turned that experience into a thriving concierge business serving the needs of the Hamptons’ wealthy elite. But anytime the drama on land gets too outrageous, Dakota finds calm surfing the Atlantic waves. But when sexy mogul Max Carr hires her, it rocks her balance in a big way.
Max works hard, but he’s never had to put any effort into winning over a woman—until now. With her stunning beauty and keen intelligence, Dakota is worth the effort. But it’s plain she has no interest in a casual fling, and that’s all Max, with his grief-stricken heart, can offer. But one fraught night changes everything, with consequences neither Dakota nor Max anticipated. Now they must navigate the rough waters of society gossip and devastating secrets that threaten their fragile relationship. If they can trust in the strength of their growing feelings, they’ll find that the dreams they’ve been chasing are close enough to embrace . . . together.
For fans of Linda Lael Miller and Diana Palmer comes Laura Moore’s breathtaking final installment in her Silver Creek contemporary romance series.
The youngest of the three Knowles siblings, Quinn has in her blood the love of the land and its beautiful creatures. Raising enough money to build an animal sanctuary is a dream Quinn lives every day—while fending off her family’s well-intentioned matchmaking schemes. Though harboring secret fears about intimacy, Quinn soon realizes she cannot fight her growing attraction to a man who has suddenly entered her life.
Scarred by his months in Afghanistan and the violence he witnessed there through his camera lens, photojournalist Ethan Saunders throws himself into hard ranching work as a prescription for healing. But falling for Quinn has given him the one thing he thought he’d lost forever: hope. Ethan discovers that Quinn, like the innocent animals she rescues, is shy, and afraid of entrusting her heart to a man. Passion soon awakens Ethan’s strength, and his tender seduction may be just what Quinn needs to believe in herself—and in his love.
Three siblings, an extraordinary family, a lasting heritage—in the irresistible Silver Creek Ranch trilogy, they’ll fight for the land and the people they love.
Everything has come easily to Reid Knowles, the middle son of a California ranching family. But his charmed life is suddenly complicated when his good friend and neighbor asks him to help run the winery next door. His neighbor’s niece, Mia Bodell, is in charge—and she has made it clear that she’d rather be roped to a steer than to Reid Knowles. Never one to back down from a challenge, Reid vows to win her trust.
Her life marked by loss, Mia knows that nothing comes easily—love included. In high school, her heart was crushed by Reid, and even though years have passed, the hurt lingers. Mia is achingly aware that the teen heartthrob has matured into a devastatingly handsome playboy, and the budding winemaker refuses to let down her guard. But one taste of unbridled passion changes things. From Reid’s first intoxicating kiss to his unexpectedly tender seduction, Mia is swept into a passionate affair that could tear her heart to pieces . . . or give her everything she has ever wanted.
Sweeping passions, family drama, and searing scandal play out at the magnificent Silver Creek Ranch as the heirs to a powerful dynasty seize their legacy of love.
Oldest son Ward Knowles feels the sprawling California ranch in his blood. And now that the family business has expanded to include a popular resort, he’s working harder than ever. Silver Creek is his legacy and his life, which is fine for the ruggedly sexy ladies’ man and committed bachelor. Love and trust don’t come easily for Ward since he lost his heart to a gold digger—until he meets a shy, unpretentious beauty whose sweet grace is about to turn his jaded heart into a hungry one.
Tess Casari has found sanctuary at Silver Creek, working as an assistant to Ward’s mother, Adele. Grateful for her busy new life running the ranch’s spa and resort, Tess can escape the heartbreak, humiliation, and secret shame of her failed marriage. The last thing she needs is temptation—especially from a man who reminds her so much of the husband who shattered her faith in love. But passion and destiny are about to change the rules for two people who have stopped believing in the healing power of love.
TROUBLE ISN’T THE ONLY THING ON HER MIND.
The youngest and wildest of the Radcliffe sisters, Jade is the last to return home to her family’s sprawling Virginia horse farm and its unsettling memories. She never planned on a night of passion with a stranger before starting her new life as a teacher and riding instructor—or the shock of recognizing the man who gave her so much pleasure standing right there in her classroom.
Officer Rob Cooper is stunned. Not only is the woman who rocked his world his daughter’s second grade teacher, but she’s the troubled teen whom he blames for his wife’s death years ago. Worse, now that he sees her in the light of day, he wants her more than ever. Time has softened Jade’s hard, rebellious edge—she’s spirited, honest, and sexy to distraction. But will the feelings ignited in the heat of desire be enough to heal a past that needs forgiving?
EVEN THE MOST TIGHTLY LOCKED HEART HAS A KEY.
After learning of her husband’s affair, Jordan Radcliffe is crushed, but she knows she must stay strong for her three young children. So she moves back to Rosewood, the idyllic horse farm where she grew up. Wishing only to recover and reassess her life, Jordan feels an undeniable attraction to architect Owen Gage—and does her best to ignore it. Her heart is too fragile to love again.
Yet when Owen, who himself is wary of any romantic involvement, offers her a job she badly needs, Jordan has no choice but to accept, even though it means she’ll be working alongside him every day. And that closeness could intensify the connection between them—a desire as unnerving as it is powerful.
Growing up trapped by her father's wealth, awkward Ty Stannard found freedom on horseback. A talented equestrian, she yearned to ride as well as her idol, champion Steve Sheppard. Worshiping the handsome Kentuckian, she treasures the lucky medallion he gives her the day they chance to meet. But then a nasty fall changes everything, and Ty is forced to leave her dreams behind.
Now a beautiful woman, determined to live life on her own terms, Ty learns that Steve stands on the brink of ruin. Moved by memories of his kindness to her, she offers him financial backing, but Steve perceives only a selfish socialite amusing herself at his expense. In a daring move, he challenges Ty to be not only a financial partner -- but a full-time farmhand as well, expecting she'll tire of the hardships of a working stable. To Steve's surprise, Ty takes up his challenge.
As they rebuild Southwind, Steve's beloved stable, they find unexpected strength and comfort in each other -- and a passion neither can deny. But their fragile love will be tested by not only those who seek to destroy what they have built, but also the insecurities and doubts that shadow their own very vulnerable hearts.
A rising star in the modeling world, Margot Radcliffe hasn’t forgotten the hurt that sent her running from Rosewood, the beautiful Virginia horse farm where she was raised. Travis Maher, a ruggedly handsome rebel and gifted trainer with a hard-knock past, had once captured Margot’s heart—and then gave it back to her broken.But when Margot’s family is struck by tragedy, she is forced to set aside her skyrocketing career and return to a place she never expected to see again, where the legs everyone is interested in belong to thoroughbreds not supermodels. Now Rosewood’s success is dependent on Margot, and the only person she can count on for help is the very man who taught her the meaning of sorrow all those years ago.
As Margot and Travis join forces to save Rosewood from ruin, their wild natures clash and passions surge. But will this hard-hearted horseman be able to find a way to express his desire for the one woman he’s ever loved before she’s lost to him forever?
A gifted artist, Genevieve Monaghan expresses the wonder and beauty of life on canvas. When millionaire philanthropist Alex Miller asks her to create a painting for the new children’s wing of a major Boston hospital, she finds his high-handed ways exasperating and his stunning good looks distracting—but she cannot resist his proposal. She embraces the project, willing to suffer Alex’s presence for the sake of her art. Yet soon Gen finds herself falling for Alex and his virile charm.
At the pinnacle of wealth and power, Alex Miller stands alone. Women flock to him, drawn by his standing and immense sex appeal. Nothing touches his heart—until he meets Gen. A natural beauty, she is a breath of fresh air in his life and has no interest in his riches or glamour. Although they couldn’t be more different, the growing attraction between them is palpable, sizzling with intensity. Even as they fight to deny their feelings, Alex and Gen are losing themselves to the one thing more awe-inspiring than beauty: love.
The deeper you dive, the sweeter the reward
When college offered an escape, Lily fled her hometown of Coral Beach and never looked back. Now a marine biologist, she must return there on a job to preserve the reefs that give the town its name. But going back means dealing with her past, her family, and worst of all, Sean McDermott. As teens, while Lily passed through an especially awkward phase, Sean-attractive and self-assured-was her constant tormentor. Lily doubts that things will have changed. But Lily's awkward phase is long over . . . and though she finds that Sean still makes her blood boil, it's for very different reasons.
As mayor, Sean knows how important it is to maintain the town's natural beauty-and if the return of Lily Banyon is the price he has to pay, so be it. He can overlook her cold shoulder and give back as good as he gets. What's harder to disregard is the fact that Lily has grown into a smart and beautiful woman, as passionate about saving Coral Beach as she once was about leaving it. While working closely together, it becomes obvious to Sean that if he and Lily can put the past behind them, they could have a passionate future. . . .
Set against the sweeping landscape of Virginia horse country, this breathtaking story of love in the wake of tragedy marks the debut of an exciting voice in romantic fiction.
Cassie Miller was on track to be one of the best equestrian riders of the sport when a terrible accident left her as the guardian of an orphaned niece and nephew. Seeking means to support the twins -- now five years old -- Cassie takes a job as a horse trainer at the prestigious Five Oaks farm where she finds not one, but two worthy adversaries -- Orion, a bold, dark horse that has yet to find a rider it deems its equal, and local veterinarian Caleb Wells, a man whose startling good looks and quick wit leave Cassie unnerved.
As Cassie trains Orion for competition, Caleb, a partner in the farm, watches over their progress. A womanizer since his recent divorce, he soon finds his heart softening for this strong and gifted woman -- and for her unconventional family. But as Orion's Hampton Classic competition looms, Caleb's vengeful ex-wife threatens to ruin everything Cassie and Caleb have worked for...
Reminiscent of the early classics in romantic fiction, Ride A Dark Horse is a winning tale of the bittersweet glories of life and the transformative power of love.

2014 Yamaha V Star 1300 Deluxe
V Star 1300 Deluxe
- 1304cc, (80 cubic inch) liquid-cooled, short stroke, SOHC, 8-valve, 60° V-twin powerplant pumps out excellent power and torque for unparalleled acceleration and cruising performance. At 110 km/hr the engine is only turning 3,400 rpm, for relaxed highway cruising.
- Electric starting system features a mechanical centrifugal decompression device in the exhaust camshaft for easy, no-hassle starting and reduced battery size and weight.
- Liquid-cooling not only allows for higher state of tune but also reduces mechanical noise for a quieter engine.
- In an effort to maintain the classic air-cooled appearance of the engine, cooling fins have been added as a styling highlight.
- The short stroke engine design reduces the height of the engine, while the 60 degree "V" makes the engine more compact thereby centralizing mass and lowering the center of gravity for lighter more responsive handling.
- Classic V-twin "pulse feeling" and engine character highlight this powerplant while annoying high frequency vibration has been eliminated.
- One-piece cylinder heads feature 4-valves per cylinder to provide optimum breathing efficiency for maximum power output. Each head is fitted with a single long reach spark plug.
- Stylish chromed cylinder head covers.
- The SOHC valve train features 36mm intake and 32mm exhaust valves with special single coil springs for great power and torque. Valve angles are set at 20 degrees. Specially designed roller rockers activate the valves. The roller rocker system allows a greater amount of valve lift without producing excessive camshaft wear and friction. The slipper portion of the rocker arm features a needle bearing to further reduce wear and slide resistance. The camshafts have been specially designed to provide class leading power.
- Optimized squish area forces the fuel / air mixture toward the centre of the combustion chamber for more complete combustion and hence power.
- The radiator is mounted between the front frames down tubes to minimize its appearance especially when viewing the machine from the side. Even the rad hoses have been discretely placed for a cleaner appearance. An electric fan aids in cooling in stop and go traffic.
- Automatic hydraulic cam chain tensioners reduce mechanical noise.
- Ceramic composite-plated cylinders reduce weight, increase cylinder life and provide uniform heat dissipation. The cylinders have a tapered "V" appearance to highlight the V-twin design.
- Forged aluminum pistons offer great durability and reduced weight for faster engine response and less mechanical vibration.
- Crankshaft features a single crank pin design which enhances the pulse feeling and engine character.
- Single axis, left and right dual engine counter balancers reduce vibration to a minimum while maximizing rider comfort.
- Crankcase design features internal oil and coolant lines for a clean, air-cooled engine appearance. There are special piston coolers that spray oil at the underside of the pistons.
- Easy access, spin on type oil filter
- Classic easy access, side mounted 3.7 liter air box houses a viscous paper-type filter and adds a special styling touch.
- Mikuni dual bore, 40mm returnless-type throttle body fuel injection system with TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) and ISC (Idle Speed Control). This is a "closed loop" system that utilizes an oxygen sensor. The oxygen sensor "sniffs" spent exhaust gases and feeds back info to the ECU which in turn adjusts the fuel/air mixture for maximum power with minimum emissions. The oxygen sensor is located before the mufflers, so the use of slip-ons will not affect this system.
- Bore size is 40mm and each injector features 12 holes and a dual spray pattern for better fuel atomization and more complete combustion chamber filling. There is one injector per cylinder. Fuel injection benefits include improved fuel economy, chokeless operation, reduced emissions, and steady idling during start-up.
- 2 into 1 exhaust system features a 3-way honeycomb catalyzer at the entry point to the muffler. The catalyzer reduces harmful exhaust emissions, while the muffler produces a throaty V-Twin growl.
- Maintenance-free transistor controlled ignition (T.C.I.) provides a hot spark for sure starts and strong engine performance.
- Smooth-shifting, 5-speed transmission with 5th gear overdrive delivers outstanding cruising performance and reduced rpms at highway speeds. The engine is spinning at 3,400 rpm at 110 km/hr.
- Clean, quiet belt drive system is extremely low maintenance and simplifies customization. The belt features carbon cords for strength.
- Specially designed starter motor features a damping mechanism to prevent damage from kick back.
- Air Induction System (A.I.S.) reduces harmful exhaust emissions (CO + HC).
- One piece classic heel-and-toe shifter adds versatility and enhances the overall cruising experience.
Chassis / Suspension Features
- Double cradle steel frame offers roomy ergonomics, and great handling. This frame utilizes a rigid engine mounting system to optimize the overall rigidity balance for superior handling. The rack is 32 degrees, while the lean angle is a sporty 36 degrees.
- Steel swingarm compliments the frame while also making a bold styling statement.
- Long 1,690mm (66.5") wheelbase creates a long, low retro profile and provides solid, stable handling.
- The long low design means spacious ergonomics with lots of leg room, which maximizes both rider and passenger comfort.
- 41mm KYB front fork features stylish large-diameter brushed-finished covers. Wheel travel is 135mm (5.3") for a smooth, comfortable ride.
- Spring preload-adjustable, single-shock, link rear suspension centralizes mass for agile handling. The linkage system provides a rising rate effect that provides excellent compliance on both small and large bumps. There are 9 positions of spring preload adjustability to suit rider preference.
- Rear shock is vertically mounted behind the engine and is tucked out of sight for that classic, hardtail look. Rear wheel travel is 110mm (4.3").
- Dual 298mm, floating front discs are squeezed by compact twin piston front calipers.
- 298mm rear disc brake squeezed by single piston caliper is mounted to the underside of the swingarm. This design not only helps to hide the caliper but also lowers the center of gravity for better handling.
- Lightweight 7-spoke cast aluminum wheels are fitted with wide tubeless tires. These stylish "mag" wheels are both easy to clean and never require maintenance. The rear drive pulley matches the wheel design.
- Stylish fork mounted faring offers a dynamic look as well as great weather protection. It also features dual speakers providing excellent sound quality. The taller windshield provides relaxed cruising comfort. The Garmin Zumo 665 navigation system is neatly integrated into the centre of the fairing cockpit. It can be easily removed if desired
- The V-Star 1300 Deluxe is equipped with a Garmin Zumo 665 GPS / navigation system. The Garmin Zumo series are specifically designed for motorcycle use and feature a rugged, waterproof design.
- iPod / iPhone ready audio system features dual fairing mounted speakers and convenient handlebar mounted audio controller. Just plug in your iPod / iPhone into the special connector in the saddlebag and sit back, relax and enjoy your favorite tunes.
- Beautifully styled 28.5 litre, colour matched, hard locking saddlebags offer plenty of convenient storage.
- Full-size, "tapered" floating-type rider floorboards are roomy and comfortably positioned while also helping to reduce vibration. There is a replaceable "scraper" on the lower edge of the footboard.
- 1 inch, rubber mounted handlebars are easy to reach and help to reduce vibration.
- Front and rear fenders are steel for easy customization and painting if desired.
- 18.5 liter teardrop shaped fuel tank with flush mounted filler cap. Fuel tank features a seamless design for that clean, custom look.
- Generous rider and passenger seats offer plenty of room and support for all day riding comfort. Seat height is only 690mm or 27.2" inches off the ground.
- Handlebar-mounted chromed instrument features an analog speedometer, digital odometer, dual tripmeters, low fuel tripmeter, clock and low fuel warning light. Stylish red background illumination.
- Handlebar switch gear allows the operator to change instrument functions via buttons on the back of the RHS handlebar switch, thereby eliminating the need to take hands off the bars to adjust the main instrument functions.
- 60/55 watt high intensity halogen headlight emphasizes the "wild streamline", mass forward styling design. The chromed headlight body is adjustable up and down plus left and right via remote adjusters. There are also two 35 watt accessory light connectors inside the headlight shell for accessory passing lamps.

Hi. Can someone talk me through when this might occur and what the use cases are? Thanks!
This is slightly different in the way its implemented in the NitroAdjudicator but in Counterfactual there is a kind of application whose outcome is a
view function which depends on the
address(···).balance value of the multisignature wallet being used as the state deposit holder. So, when you start the application the outcome will show 0 but if ETH is deposited into the multisig then the outcome would be higher than 0.
Ok. So does that mean that you have state transitions that are sometimes valid and sometimes not? Or are these balances provably only monotonically increasing?
and even if they are, how do you deal with uncle blocks/chain reorgs?
(edit: I guess that doesn’t matter if you’re inside a virtual channel…)
They aren’t always monotonically increasing. They could also be decreasing (e.g., in the case of a withdrawal). These could just be two special cases though.
I currently implemented it like this:
If the channel is underfunded (e.g. one participant did not put in enough money, or all participants agree to an invalid state with higher outcome):

Comments Off on Regal Cinemas parent Cineworld files for bankruptcy
FOX Business Flash top headlines for September 7
Check out what’s clicking on FoxBusiness.com
Cineworld, the U.K. parent of Knoxville, Tennessee-based Regal Cinemas has filed for bankruptcy in the U.S.
The world’s second-largest cinema operator behind AMC Entertainment fell victim to COVID-19 lockdowns along with the failed acquisition of a Canadian movie chain and the successful acquisition of Regal, which weighed Cineworld down with enormous debt.
CINEWORLD GROUP PLC
"The pandemic was an incredibly difficult time for our business, with the enforced closure of cinemas and huge disruption to film schedules that has led us to this point," said CEO Mooky Greidinger in a statement.
“The pandemic was an incredibly difficult time for our business, with the enforced closure of cinemas and huge disruption to film schedules that has led us to this point…”
The group warned last month that recent admission levels had been "below expectations" despite a gradual recovery of demand since theaters reopened from COVID-19 lockdowns in April 2021. Cineworld expects lower levels of admissions to continue until November due to a limited film slate.
During the restructuring process, the groups expects to operate its global business and cinemas as usual without interruption and currently anticipates emerging from Chapter 11 during the first quarter of 2023.
The group warned of a possible filing last month when it said management was weighing restructuring options including "a possible voluntary Chapter 11 filing in the United States and associated ancillary proceedings in other jurisdiction."


Harrisburg, PA - Governor Tom Wolf announced today that his administration, in partnership with Adapt Pharma, has taken the next step in its effort to make the life-saving medication Narcan (naloxone) available to public high schools in Pennsylvania at no cost. The Departments of Health, Drug and Alcohol Programs, State and Education have now begun the application process for 642 public high schools in the state to obtain a free two-dose carton of the heroin antidote Narcan.
Governor Wolf praised the rollout as another crucial development in the effort to combat the opioid crisis in the commonwealth.
“The opioid addiction and overdose epidemic affects people in every walk of life in every corner of our state – and this includes our young children in our schools,” said Governor Wolf. “By expanding access to this overdose reversal drug, we are doing our best to ensure that the first responders to the scene of an overdose can save lives. In addition, schools can play a crucial role in changing the course of addiction by working closely with their students and families. It is our responsibility to ensure that struggling Pennsylvanians can receive our help when they need it.”
Pennsylvania is the first state to implement what will serve as a model program in partnership with Pennsylvania-based pharmaceutical company Adapt Pharma to increase statewide access to Narcan, which reverses the effects of an opioid overdose.
“This program is already having an impact nationally as school nurses in other states are looking to Pennsylvania as a delivery model,” said Health Secretary Karen Murphy. “We firmly believe quick access to Narcan in school buildings will save lives and give young people suffering from addiction a chance for a healthy and productive future.”
In order to be eligible for this program, a public high school must submit a completed application to the Department of Health that includes the following:
A standing order from the school physician allowing the school nurse to receive and administer Narcan;
A specific policy adopted by the Board of School Directors with specific reference to Narcan administration or such language included as an addendum to the district’s current medication administration policy; and,
A statement that the school nurse has completed the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s approved training.
Once approved, schools will receive a single carton of Narcan nasal spray, a brand of naloxone, which will be distributed through state health centers beginning in early May.
Secretary of Education Pedro A. Rivera praised the availability of Narcan as a step toward improving the safety of students.
“By providing schools access to this life-saving medicine, we are proactively increasing safety measures at schools across the commonwealth,” said Secretary Rivera. “The Department of Education thanks the schools that have indicated their interest in stocking naloxone thus far, and we hope that more schools will join the coalition to protect students and their families from the devastating effects of addiction.”
Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs Secretary Gary Tennis said having naloxone on hand in Pennsylvania schools is a smart policy that can save lives.
“We are in the midst of the worst ever overdose death epidemic and the worst public health crisis in the last 100 years,” added Secretary Tennis. “Whether someone at school is suffering from addiction or experimenting with an opioid for the first time, we must do all we can to protect and save overdose victims.”
The Wolf Administration has made the fight against heroin a top priority. Some of the administration’s other initiatives include: signing a statewide standing order for naloxone, making it possible for all Pennsylvanians to access this life-saving drug; equipping the Pennsylvania State Police with naloxone so that those troopers who are first on the scene of an overdose can have another tool on-hand during these emergencies; developing the ABC-MAP prescription drug monitoring program to detect and prevent prescription fraud and abuse, which contribute to addiction; and appointing a director for the state’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) Office, who will work to ensure that the PDMP meets its goal of assisting healthcare professionals in identifying patients that would benefit from treatment.

1 and ¼ cup yellow or vanilla boxed cake mix (I typically use vanilla cake mix - you just need the DRY mix)
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg, at room temperature
1 and ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup chocolate chips (I used a blend of white and semi-sweet chocolate chips)
½ cup M&Ms
½ cup sprinkles
In a large bowl, sift together flour, cake mix, and baking soda. Set aside.
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream the softened butter and both sugars together on medium speed until smooth. Add the egg and mix on high until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla and beat on high until combined. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix on low-medium speed until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and sprinkles. Mix on low until the add-ins are evenly disbursed.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate dough for at least 2 hours, or up to 3-4 days. This step is mandatory. The dough is fairly sticky, so chilling the dough is required in order to avoid the cookies from spreading too much. Roll into 1 inch balls after 2 hours. Use about 1.5 tablespoons of cookie dough per cookie. Shape your cookie dough balls to be "taller" than they are wide
Once dough has been chilled and formed into balls, preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Place cold dough balls onto an ungreased baking sheet. Make sure to keep dough chilled when working in batches.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until edges are slightly browned. Mine take 10 minutes exactly. The centers will still appear very soft, but the cookies will set as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 4 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make ahead tip: Cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week. You can make the cookie dough and chill it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Allow to come to room temperature and continue with step 4. Baked cookies freeze well - up to three months. Unbaked cookie dough balls freeze well - up to three months. Bake frozen cookie dough balls for an extra minute, no need to thaw.

NEW YORK, and TEL AVIV, Israel, July 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Jasper Card (https://www.jaspercard.com), an advanced financial services company challenging how traditional financial institutions make money, today announced it has raised a $34M round of Series A financing, led by Benslie International Fund, with 500 Startups, Gauss Ventures, Off The Grid Ventures, OurCrowd, and SIBF completing the round, which encompasses $10M in funds announced previous to the company’s rebrand in 2020 from CreditStacks. Jasper has provided access to more than 15,000 credit cards issued by WebBank, with these cards being used to spend over $90M running on the MasterCard network. WebBank has also provided Jasper with access to $100M in receivables financing to accelerate the Jasper Card program, which has been growing 20% month-over-month. This new funding allows Jasper to grow its AI technology to further develop its underwriting model and introduce a new line of financial services.
Also announced today, Mark Goines, Vice-Chair of Personal Capital, joins the Jasper Card Board of Directors that includes CardWorks Founder, Chairman, and CEO, Don Berman, Fraud Sciences Founder and CEO, Saar Wilf, Teva Pharmaceuticals’ former CFO, Eyal Desheh, and Industrialist Francisco Morphy.
Jasper Card quickly expanded upon CreditStacks’ original mission—helping professionals entering the United States without credit scores gain their financial footing—to include all consumers in America. Jasper Card gives back most of the money it makes from customers through a revolutionary cashback program based on customers referring friends to join the Jasper revolution, shifting power back to individuals. For every friend customers bring on board, they both earn a 1% cashback boost for a full year, all the way up to 6%.
“It’s time to present a new disruptive way for people to manage and grow their personal finances,” said Elnor Rozenrot, Founder and CEO of Jasper Card. “Many banks have flashy websites and mobile apps, but the essence of the digital revolution that’s democratized so many parts of our life—win-win, fairness, the economy of one—has not followed. Imagine all your financial products, whether it’s credit cards, bank accounts, or loans, combined into one single service that just works for your benefit. That is exactly what we’ve set out to do, and we are on track to give our customers back most of what many financial institutions have taken for themselves.”
The Jasper model is based on an algorithm-driven underwriting platform that relies on income, employment, and a variety of other sources for producing a credit score based on the customer’s predicted future credit behavior rather than looking backward.
“This has been a mammoth undertaking, and I’m proud to join an amazing team that has more than 150 years of experience in building and running businesses and financial companies, with a shared belief that banking should be made to work for customers,” said Mark Goines, Jasper Card’s newest Board Member and Vice-Chair of Personal Capital.


Wetlands are some of the world's most critical eco-systems. They take many forms - swamps, marshes, bogs, and mangroves are all types of wetland. While they occur all over the world, wetlands form a particularly important part of the landscape of certain regions and countries, such as the Everglades of Florida in the USA, swampy areas around the Baltic Sea such those found in Estonia and Latvia, the marshy bird sanctuaries of Western and Central Turkey, and the moors of Scotland and southwestern England. Here are the best drone videos of some of the world's most important wetlands. Aerial photo: “Pekapeka Wetlands - Hawkes-Bay, New-Zealand” by AirVuz contributor and drone pilot PondyNZ.

August 11, 2021
The U.S. Senate’s passage of the more than 2,700-page Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act offers many important provisions that those in rural America were seeking. The bill provides $548 billion in additional spending. When combined with existing baseline infrastructure spending, total funding for infrastructure will be approximately $944 billion over five years and $1.2 trillion over eight years.
The House has already passed its own version of an infrastructure bill - the INVEST In America Act, also in H.R. 3684, which the Senate replaced with this plan. The House could take up the Senate’s version, but it’s unlikely given House Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., concerns with missing provisions after he spent months on his own plan.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act represents a highlight reel of the Senate’s bipartisan work. It includes several bills that have already won bipartisan action in the Senate, including a must-pass highway bill to extend programs set to expire this fall.
The bill incorporates the Surface Transportation Reauthorization Act of 2021, which passed the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works unanimously, and the Surface Transportation Investment Act, passed by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation with bipartisan support. It also includes the Senate-passed Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act and the Energy Infrastructure Act, which received bipartisan support in the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
Related: Historic infrastructure bill clears full Senate
Mike Steenhoek, executive director of the Soybean Transportation Coalition, says the provisions, especially the $110 billion in funding for roads and bridges and the $17 billion for ports and waterways – will “clearly enhance the competitiveness of U.S. agriculture.”
To illustrate how these infrastructure investments can have tangible impact at the local level, the replacement of a single bridge that had significant load restrictions can easily save local residents $70,000 - $80,000 annually due to no longer incurring detours, explains Steenhoek.
For example, a weight restricted bridge results in a 5-mile detour for local semi and truck traffic where 25 trucks are impacted each day. This creates 125 miles of detour incurred each day by those 25 trucks, and 45,625 miles of detours each year.
“If it costs $1.50 - $1.80 per mile to operate the semi, the annual cost of the detour for the single weight restricted bridge is approximately $70,000 - $80,000,” says Steenhoek. “These are costs that will be inserted into food delivery and other industries.”
As it relates to transportation, the bill includes $284 billion or 52% of new spending. Specifically, it allocates:
Roads, bridges, and major projects: $110 billion
Includes $40 billion for bridge repair, replacement, and rehabilitation
Passenger & freight rail: $66 billion
Public transit: $39 billion
Airports: $25 billion
Ports and waterways: $17 billion
Safety: $11 billion
Electric vehicle infrastructure: $7.5 billion
Electric/zero emission buses: $5 billion
Electric/zero emission ferries: $2.5 billion
Reconnecting communities: $1 billion
The bill specifically authorizes $303.5 billion from the Highway Trust Fund for roads and bridges over five years; creates a competitive grant program to address the surface transportation infrastructure of rural communities and codifies the One Federal Decision policy, which establishes a two-year goal for completion of environmental reviews for infrastructure projects. It also authorizes the Rural Opportunities to Use Transportation for Economic Success or ROUTES initiative, which was previously created under the Trump administration. The ROUTES initiative seeks to support the transportation needs of rural communities.
Other categories make up the remaining 48% of new spending, or $256 billion. This includes the follow spending breakdown:
Electric and power infrastructure: $65 billion
High-speed internet: $65 billion
Clean drinking water: $55 billion
Resilience and western water infrastructure: $50 billion
Environmental remediation: $21 billion
Waterways: This legislation contains provisions such as addressing the backlog for Operations and Maintenance and Investigation Accounts through the Army Corps of Engineers, allowing states to use federal highway funding for lock and dam modernization, helping complete studies from flooding, funding soil moisture and snowpack monitoring activities in the Upper Missouri River Basin to inform the lower basin of drought and flood conditions and funding Mississippi River and tributaries projects.
Biobased pilot program: The legislation also includes a pilot program initiated by Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., that will research the benefits of biobased products for use in construction and other projects. The American Soybean Association, the South Dakota Soybean Association, and others assisted with the legislative language. The Soy Transportation Coalition and other organizations are promoting the use of soy-based concrete and asphalt sealants to elongate the life of roads and bridges in an environmentally sustainable manner. These products also provide an additional marketing opportunity for U.S. soybean farmers.
Broadband: The measure’s $65 billion investment ensures every American has access to reliable highspeed internet with an historic investment in broadband infrastructure deployment, just as the federal government made a historic effort to provide electricity to every American nearly one hundred years ago. Among the specific allocations, the bill provides $42.5 billion in grants to states to the Commerce Department to expand broadband to unserved and underserved areas, $600 million in Private Activities Bonds, $2 billion to USDA in support for rural areas, $2 billion for the Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program, $1 billion to support construction of middle-mile projects, and $2.75 billion to fund the Digital Equity Act.
Restoring forests: Included in the final passage is an amendment from Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., and Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., to authorize the USDA Joint Chiefs’ Landscape Restoration Partnership Initiative to help to restore forests and grasslands, reduce wildfire risk and protect water supplies. It is based on Bennet and Hoeven’s bipartisan, bicameral Joint Chiefs Landscape Restoration Partnership Act of 2021 which would formally authorize the Joint Chiefs’ Landscape Restoration Partnership to better support forest and grassland restoration projects across public and private land. Since USDA launched Joint Chiefs in 2014, the initiative has supported 93 projects, and treated 300,000 acres of hazardous fuels, restored 29,000 acres in priority watersheds, and enhanced 200,000 acres of wildlife habitat.
Drinking water and wastewater: The bill creates a Rural and Low-Income Water Assistance Pilot Program to award grants to eligible entities to develop and implement programs to assist qualifying households with need in maintaining access to drinking water and wastewater.
Energy grid: The IIJA would allocate $1 billion over five years to modernize and improve rural grid resilience. Those funds would be authorized to upgrade transmission lines, improve energy efficiency, develop microgrids and reduce emissions.
Chesapeake Bay funding: IIJA also contains a provision of $238 million over five years for the Chesapeake Bay through EPA. “These additional funds will help close the gap in pollution reduction goals across the watershed, especially as we approach the 2025 deadline to have all pollution reduction practices in place as part of the Bay’s restoration effort,” says Choose Clean Water Coalition Director Kristin Reilly. “This more than 50% increase in funding for the Chesapeake can be a game-changer for restoration in our region.”
Secure Rural Schools: The bill offers a three-year extension for the Secure Rural Schools revenue-sharing program, which compensates approximately 700 counties and school districts for declining federal timber harvests.

Do you know that brain function decreases with age? Although aging is an inevitable process, lifestyle plays a significant role in the attitude of health and brain function.
That's why it's important to constantly involve our minds in hobbies, read books, entertain games, reduce stress, eat healthy, and avoid nutrient shortages.
Which are important for brain function, see the following lines.
Omega-3 fatty acids
Our brain also needs these important fatty acids to work properly. Omega-3 protects nerves and helps build new neural connections. Several studies have combined the lack of omega-3 with an increased risk of cognitive decline associated with age.
As for minerals, calcium is the most important mineral for the healthy functioning of the brain. Regulates neurotransmission and controls nerve excitability. The largest "reservoir" in the human body of calcium is bone and the intake of some medications can affect its levels.

French nitrogen-fertilizer shipments fell 17 percent from July through February to the lowest level in at least four years, industry association Unifa said.
Nitrogen sales in France declined to 1.33 million metric tons in the first eight months of the year that started July 1 from 1.61 million tons a year earlier, Paris-based Unifa wrote in an e-mailed statement today.
France is the largest crop grower in the European Union, and the bloc’s biggest user of crop nutrients, according to the International Fertilizer Industry Association. Nitrogen is applied to plants to boost yields.
Potassium-fertilizer shipments in France fell 16 percent to 391,000 tons in May through February, while phosphate deliveries declined 20 percent to 328,000 tons, Unifa said.
The association tracks nitrogen sales on the basis of a year that starts July 1, while the marketing year for potassium and phosphorus begins May 1.

Celebrity Big Brother crowned its winner for this summer, with Sarah Harding emerging victorious from the house. But official stats have shown that the former pop star won by the skin of her teeth.BBC News's George Alagiah says having cancer equipped him to fight coronavirus
Even though the former Girls Aloud singer was the bookies’ favourite to win, Amelia Lily was just behind her, with a mere 5% between them.
According to Channel 5, Sarah took 35.33% of the public vote, while Amelia claimed 29.92%.
Other official figures show that the runners up include Sam Thompson on 14.8%, Derek Acorah on 8.92% Chad Johnson on 5.48%, Jemma Lucy with 4.83% and Shaun Williamson with just 0.72%.
Sarah was crowned as winner of CBB 2017 on Friday – but left to a chorus of boos when she exited the house.
‘I’m in shock. It’s a bit of a tough ride,’ she said.
‘I was so out of my comfort zone, with so many big personalities. I needed a new chapter and to start afresh. I just thought what better way to get out of my comfort zone and to show the viewers at home that I’m just a normal girl.
Sorry, this video isn't available any more.
‘I want to say thank you to everyone who voted. I honestly didn’t believe this would happen.’
Sarah opened up about her struggle still further as she admitted: ‘It was really difficult to adjust to the new environment.
‘The main reason was to show everyone that I was just Sarah. I’ve been through ups and downs. I’m so grateful, it’s made me stronger and tougher. Once I got more adjusted, I was definitely feeling more settled. It’s made me a stronger person, I’ve grown a thicker skin, I am an anxious character that’s just me.’

Last night I, along with my wife and some friends, went to see Derek Webb in concert here in Omaha. I have enjoyed Derek’s music for awhile now and was particularly impressed with his sound live. The guy is a great musician and an impressive songwriter.
The majority of the cuts he played were from his new CD Mockingbird, which is available for download / sharing for free at FreeDerekWebb.com.
I know that he has taken some heat from folks within evangelicalism over the things he says, however I enjoy the record, his points and particularly his pithy commentary on the evangelical church.

Derek Webb has decided to make his latest release Mockingbird available to the public for free starting September 1st. Webb is offering free music downloads and encouraging song sharing in order to encourage the “conversation” contained in his album. You may preregister now by going here.
I have really enjoyed Derek’s music. He is intentionally stepping on some toes on this album. While I don’t with all of his conclusions I love the cd. It is very cool that he is doing this. enjoy!!

Rosewood opens stylish new property in Guangzhou
A true landmark, the Rosewood Hotel Guangzhou. (Photo: Rosewood Hotels)
Yabu Pushelberg crafts simple yet sophisticated interiors in Rosewood’s latest Chinese offering.
Rosewood Guangzhou has opened its doors to the public, welcoming guests into a soothing environment in one of China’s most historically important port cities, now a bustling hub of finance and commerce.
We find out more.
The jewel of Rosewood Guangzhou welcomes guests
Perched atop Guangzhou’s tallest building, the Rosewood Guangzhou is a jewel in the crown of the skyscraper within which it sits.
Occupying the top 39 floors of the newly opened CTF Finance Centre, the hotel is an exercise in sophistication and elegance, with its calm and serene interiors creating an urban oasis where guests can retreat to after a long day exploring this historic and important Chinese city.
Sitting at 530m, the Rosewood Guangzhou also now bears the distinction of being the world’s highest 5* hotel. Guests can appreciate all the luxury and style in one of the property’s 251 guest rooms and suites, all of which afford visitors panoramic views through the generous fenestration.
A Sense of Place in Guangzhou
Rosewood’s A Sense of Place design philosophy is one which permeates every hotel they operate, but in Rosewood Guangzhou, this really comes to the fore.
Rosewood has taken the top floors of the Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates-designed building and teamed up with Canadian design firm Yabu Pushelberg to create a hotel which exudes the minimalism of the international style but with local flourishes and accents which speak to Guangzhou’s trading and industrial heritage.
This fusion of old and new is immediately apparent upon entering the hotel after taking a trip in the world’s fastest elevator from the ground floor up to the lobby, which is an expansive 5m high affair decorated with bronze screens and an eye-catching art installation.
Yabu Pushelberg has been methodical in its selection of materials, which recall local history and industry, and they have chosen traditional materials and artisanal crafts to channel the handiwork of local artists.
Vermillion-red lacquered doors and traditional silk screens abound, and these contrast with the simplicity of the guest rooms, which are executed in warm colours, textures and fabrics.
The hotel also boasts innovative dining experiences, the private Manor Club on the top floor, ample meeting and events spaces and a state-of-the-art spa for rest and relaxation.

There were dozens of amazing shows rocking our world in 2011. With the year coming to a close, we can’t help but look ahead to 2012 and start getting excited about another whole year of new music and epic shows. Here’s some picks of the biggest acts to tour next year, and what to look forward to:
Coldplay: With the release of the highly-anticipated Mylo Xyloto album hot on their heels, Coldplay are set to tour the US throughout 2012. It’s been a while since they’ve played here, too: Their last performance in the US was in August of 2009. Many of their shows at arenas have already sold out. Get on it so you aren’t left out!
Smashing Pumpkins: In anticipation of the release of Oceania along with the remastered reissue of the band’s entire catalog, Billy Corgan is ready to hit the road with the reunited Pumpkins early next year.
Pearl Jam: The summer will see the Seattle grunge rockers showcasing their new material from coast to coast. With renewed energy and a legion of die-hard fans dying to see them (get those tickets quick!), the vibe at these shows is bound to be fantastic.

I feel on top of the world today. Woke up to 8 inches of snow piled outside my porch. From the kitchen window I can see my van buried beneath a comforter of snow. Last night’s storm left the city loosely wrapped, surrounded by layer after layer of slush, ice and baby soft snow. It’s cold outside. My poor apartment heater is working overtime. Outside it’s a calming chill. The white stuff insulating the warmth of the sun. I bundle up anyway; venturing out back to dig out my van. A shovel. I don’t have one. Wasn’t exactly on my list of priorities when I moved last summer.
This time last year I would have been stuck 15 miles outside of town until the snow plow came through. Living in town definitely has it’s perks. Being able to walk to work is one of them. I have a few hours before I am expected there. Pushing the snow away with my feet I work to make a path for my tires; I am grateful that out ally has been plowed already. Winter anxiety is minimum now that I live a mile away from all that matters at this point in life. My heart is set on meeting Amara at the gym. Shoulders still sore from yesterday’s yoga session, belly bloated from giving myself permission to indulge on my day off. I feel fat. Thanks mother nature. I feel sore. Thanks again. More importantly, I feel determined. Nothing can hold me back without my consent. Today I will not back down. I push myself today. Raising the resistance, increasing my reps; going longer, stronger, faster.
Last night, Aspen and I, spent hours pouring out our dreams into creatively personal vision board collages. Sparkles, magazine clippings, ribbon, colored paper, stickers, glue and quotes layered across foam boards. After years of neglecting my body I am reclaiming my health from the damages of abuse.
Physically: I want to be stronger. I want to run freely into the horizon. I want to be fit. I want to be actively living; my hobbies a result of my training and dedication.
Mentally: I want to free myself from self imposed limitations. No more “I can’ts” an endless array of “I CAN”. I am capable! I am powerful! Mantras repeated long enough to be engraved permanently across my heart.
Emotionally: I want to be genuine. Embracing all that I am, all that I am not, all that I want to be. Expressing my emotional relationship to reality openly. Sharing with my support system my fears, triumphs, goals, concerns – everything. I am grateful for my support family. Each member serving me in different ways unique to their talents, knowledge and passions. Each one appearing in my moments of need precisely when needed most. I don’t even have to ask the universe; she provides fully. Often before I am aware of my need. Beautiful. This is what contentment is. Trusting that the universe will bring to you all that you desire. Patiently anticipating each gift, mindfully gracious towards those bearing her gifts. Thank you. I am grateful. Eager to share my blessings with others. I find great pleasure in the journey. Relishing the parade of “now’s” carrying me into a tailored fit reality created equally from the combined efforts of those who love me and my own hard work and dedication.

Makeup Artist: Chichi Saito
Photographer: Filippo Del Vita
Fashion Stylist: Elena Moussa
Set Design: Laura Garcia Serventi
Client: STYLE magazine, China
Success Stories is a blog series where Dripbook talks to our artists about their recent successful projects, providing insight and perspective from different creative professionals in their industries.
Continuing with this series, we hear from Chichi Saito, a makeup artist from the MAC Cosmetics art department. Here's what she had to say:
"The great Italian photographer Filippo Del Vita asked me to work on a project for Style Magazine, China, part of a Chinese newspaper publishing house.
He said that the original idea was to develop the style of an old Russian countryside. That's why we have these types of flowers, the Russian book, Russian-inspired 'bandanas', and a lot of pieces from a Russian designer."
"Everybody did great work on this project. Elena Moussa is an amazing fashion stylist from Moscow, so she knew the Russian style from personal experience. Laura Garcia Serventi handled set design. She had to change each set background, so she worked very hard and made very beautiful work. Filippo was good about helping her with this. The hair stylist Eloise Cheung did beautiful work on this shoot, with traditional Russian hair, but in a very modern way!"
"I wanted to create a fresh classic Russian style of makeup, with a mix of the modern and feminine, so I researched Russian art, Russian dancers, and matryoshka before the shoot. To create the look we were going for, I used a bright red lip color, ClÉ de Peau foundation, Mecca highlight, MAC white pencil under the eye, Stila cream for the cheek, NARS lip pencils, and MAC lip gloss. The shoot was amazing; I thought it ran very smoothly. It was only one day, but Filippo, Elena, and Laura took a couple weeks to get ready, plus Laura and Filippo did retouching afterwards. I was very pleased with the final result."


Rep. Gregg Harper, the bills sponsor, said ending public financing for presidential elections would save $480 million over five years.
The House voted today to end taxpayer financing of presidential elections.
In a 235-190 vote, the House approved a measure to terminate the Presidential Election Campaign Fund and shut down the Election Assistance Commission, a national clearinghouse on the mechanics of voting.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said the bill has no chance in the Senate, harshly criticizing House Republicans for advancing it.
“Instead of making it so it’s easier for people to vote, they want to do everything they can to make it easier to make it harder for people to vote. I don’t understand this,” Reid said. “They want to have as few people to vote as possible.”
Supporters of the bill say termination of the two programs would eliminate unnecessary government spending and help reduce the deficit.
Citing Congressional Budget Office figures, bill sponsor Rep. Gregg Harper said ending taxpayer financing of presidential elections and the election commission would reduce the deficit by $199 million immediately and by $480 million over five years.
“If we do not eliminate some programs, then a $15 trillion debt will be our decline into a European-style financial crisis,” the Mississippi Republican said.
The measure would get rid of a checkoff option on federal income tax returns, the proceeds of which go into a presidential election fund, and return any unused money to the Treasury. The Federal Election Commission would take up some of the EAC’s functions once terminated.
Taxpayer financing of presidential elections was established after the Watergate scandal. Although President Barack Obama opted out of the public financing system for his general election campaign in 2008, he opposed the attempt to end it, saying it should be fixed instead.

Each year since 1990, CQ Roll Call has reviewed the financial disclosures of all 541 senators, representatives and delegates to determine the 50 richest members of Congress. This year's report, derived from forms covering the calendar year 2012, shows it took a net worth of $6.67 million to crack the exclusive club.
