Service was attentive and
Service was attentive and not hurried. Crispy kale salad and crispy artichoke salad starters different and well made. Fresh cod over broccoli rabe cooked perfectly. Mixed seafood grilled of shrimp, calamari, and scallops good but scallops not there; some other fish. Would definitely go back.

Great meal. Only down rated
Great meal. Only down rated food slightly because my potatoes were overdone and my husband felt his shrimp in the mixed seafood
We're a little dry. Otherwise, food was perfect. So, food is a 4 1/2 star for us.

GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD FIND
Great 'real' Italian with hard-to-find rustic items (octopus, rabbit), etc. Pleasant wait staff and open airy space an decor. We will be back.

everyone truly cares care about you care about the food care about the service every detail and you feel it all during the time you are there

First experience was excellent
We thought Morso would be a standard Upper East Side Italian restaurant and were happily surprised to find unusual fish like fresh Portuguese sardines over roasted fennel (very good) as well as fresh bean salads. Our second entree, rigatoni buttera with peas and finely cut sausage in cream sauce, was superb. Portions are unusually large, so we were glad we got "small" salads and entrees. The choice of wines by the glass is good and reasonably priced for NYC. Our Tuscan waiter was also impressive: friendly but not pushy and genuinely interested in the food. The restaurant is spacious, tables aren't too close together, and we could talk easily (though it was a holiday weekend, so maybe quieter than usual). We'll definitely be going back.
5/25/2013 4:00:00 PM

Better and better
Each visit confirms this is the luckiest thing to occur in recent memory for residents of Sutton Place and mid-town East. Each time the food and service is more sophisticated. Chef Pino always had it in him, but the restaurant is coming into its own after some initial growing pains. Even Mondays, Tuesdays and weekends have a great buzz. The delicate preparation of last Tuesday's special, Veal Parmesan, was exquisite (no bread crumbs and just a drizzle of fresh buffala on a superb tomato sauce - an explosion of taste on for old NY Italian restaurant standby). If you're looking for tourists/"bridge-and-tunnels" you'll be sorely disappointed as it's all locals. This is THE neighborhood canteen of choice.

Great food on Sutton Place
We recently moved into the Sutton Place area and love the Morso experience. Great local Italian restaurant with good foods and good service in a pleasant venue.
6/2/2013 12:00:00 AM
Great Food at a Reasonable Price
If you're out for excitement, this might not be the place for you. It's in the Sutton Place area, so the average age of the diners is 50's to 80's. We took our 20 something daughters for dinner, and they felt a bit out of place. However, the food was great, and you can get small portions of almost all the entrees. With an appetizer, this was plenty of food for all the ladies. The fried green tomato appetizer over arugula is outstanding. Husband and daughter thought the caesar salad was fantastic. . Entrees all delicious... the tuna special, spaghetti with sauteed onions and tomato and the buccatini. Will definitely return for the food. Well priced wine list, too. Staff very nice, but service a bit slow. Sunday night, perhaps?
6/2/2013 12:00:00 AM
Wonderful in Every Way!
Imaginative and excellent presentation. Warm, friendly service. Highly Recommend.

So glad to have discovered
So glad to have discovered this fantastic restaurant!
Will be returning and spreading the word.
Outdoor garden dining by the 59th st bridge is very unique and not overly noisy.
6/20/2013 12:00:00 AM
We returned to Morso and were again pleased by our meals. Although we were disappointed that the farro salad is not on the current menu, the bean/lentil/veggie salad in its place was terrific. Pastas are consistently good here as was the special of veal parmegiano (which did not at all need the accompanying marrow bone). We love the fresh ricotta that comes with the bread (which would be MUCH better warmed and crisp). Desserts were phenomenal - great flourless pistachio chocolate cake, rich and creamy gelato and a nice traditional tira misu.
Service was another story - our waitress, clearly new and struggling with English would have been more at home in a diner on 1st avenue. Hard to believe management decided she was ready.
6/26/2013 12:00:00 AM
Delicious food and excellent service. The waitstaff was professional and instinctively attentive, and not overbearing. Lovely evening dining outdoors. Will definitely go back -- soon.
6/26/2013 12:00:00 AM
Never been better!
We have been regulars since Morso opened and have been away from NY for several months. Dinner Wednesday night was the best ever.
7/3/2013 12:00:00 AM
So much to like...
A wonderful kitchen that gives options: 'morso' portions that are smaller-sized portions of many offerings. Lovely setting nestled next to Ed Koch (Queensborough/59th Street) Bridge.
7/18/2013 12:00:00 AM
We return frequently as the food is always top quality and the specials offer a diverse seasonal variety.
This kitchen is run by a true chef who understands excellent Italian cooking yet dares to add other influences. We have introduced many guests who also become regulars.
7/18/2013 12:00:00 AM
The food at Morso was always terrific but the service was so poor, and the management so distant, that we stopped going soon after it opened. A revisit still finds the management aloof, but the front of house service is much improved. The hostess was gracious and also thanked us for coming (a new experience from previous visits where one was ignored on exiting). The wait staff was much more available and attentive. The food has always been wonderful and it remains so. After a year of ignoring the place, we will return.
7/22/2013 12:00:00 AM
Morso is truly the gem of the Upper East Side. Pino the chef enters the restaurant frequently to check that everyone is happy with his wonderful food. The salads are creative and great, and like most entrees, are offered in small portions as well as main courses. His fried green tomato salad is not to be missed, nor his near perfect grilled octopus salad. The selection of pastas is remarkable, try the bucatini with black pepper sauce - amazing! Fish dishes are cooked to perfection, his rabbit is great and the chicken even stands out as superb. The nightly specials - Monday's spaghetti and meatballs - creates a fuss in an an orderly neighborhood. Go before reservations become impossible! The staff are very well informed and always helpful.
7/26/2013 12:00:00 AM
a great find
We loved Morso and will go back soon-and take friends. Great food, the tables are big enough to enjoy your dinner, AND the nose level is not too high.
7/27/2013 12:00:00 AM
A pleasant surprise
Adjacent to the Queensboro (59th Street) Bridge, in a location which has housed several restaurants over the years, this is a
comfortable Italian restaurant, with an emphasis on Tuscan cuisine. The waitperson was especially helpful and attentive,
the Tuscan fish stew and the kale salad were very good. And one could actually have a conversation wtihout fighting the din that is so prevalent in many restaurants these days.
7/29/2013 12:00:00 AM
We broke out our passports!
Wev live downtown and joke about needing passports to go north of 57th Street. We have already stamped Morso twice. Pinot has a great menu and flare. He and his entire staff treat you more like guests than customers and what's going on in the kitchen is magical. Have plenty of the private brand ricotta -- with your popover and in your cannoli. Every pasta we have tried has been fresh and accompanied by perfect sauce (last night was a fettuc' with Bolognese).
The veal parm special Tuesday was a big hit as was the special swordfish. I love his take on a summer, watermelon salad. But just go and try it. A happy experience is worth using your passport.
7/29/2013 5:00:00 PM
Don't order, let it happen
Returned for a third time and agreed to have the boss order dinner for the four of us. Heirloom tomatoes, fresh pasta in a sublime rag sauce, warm popovers accompanied by Morso's private ricotta stock, calves liver and then Pinot selected two slices of their cakes to close out the night.
His selection of Luna wine was excellent for this meal and the price for the evening (two hours of fun) was a steal.
Go and let Pinot select your meal.
7/30/2013 5:00:00 PM
Even Sweeter the Second Time Around
This was my second visit to the patio in front of Morso and both dinners were excellent. The same waiter gave us attentive service and helpful suggestions. My group gathered early and the patio soon filled up with attractive patrons enjoyed the food and festive setting.
The out-of-the-way location is not easy to reach but worth the walk.
8/6/2013 12:00:00 AM
This is just a wonderful restaurant... In every way. We had a late night 9pm dinner... al fresco. Everything was delicious and we even had a special visit fro, the brilliant chef! It's a treasure in the shadow of the 59th Street bridge.
8/9/2013 12:00:00 AM
Superior food, amateurish service
The food at this spot has always been excellent but the front of house continues to be erratic. The person bringing out the food inevitably put it down in front of the wrong person. But to their credit, the manager came over twice to check in and the owner did make the effort to say goodbye to us as we left, something he never did in the past. So they are trying. But they still need better management of staff. We won't give up on them yet but it's a pity the kitchen doesn't get better front of house. They deserve better.
8/24/2013 12:00:00 AM
A neighborhood "go to" spot
Food, wine list, knowledgable wait staff make for a positive experience. Two minor complaints not even worth documenting.
Recommend the Oso buco, spaghetti with white clam sauce, the popovers. Dover sole was quite good but was served for two and consequently a slightly small portion. Will be back!
9/14/2013 12:00:00 AM
All fresh and made in house dishes were all superb! Come and enjoy small or large plates. Wait staff were friendly, attentive and helpful. A great experience. We will return again !
9/23/2013 12:00:00 AM
Terrific with a Capital T.
If "chic contemporary" makes any sense as a food descriptor- Morso has hit it right on the bullseye.
For new Italian - using only the best, cleanest, elegant and refined dishes- this is IT in midtown East.
Dishes are delivered with ease - the friendly service effortless-
crowd is a discerning Sutton Place group with notables often in the mix.
One of our favorites - we are never disappointed!
10/6/2013 12:00:00 AM
The host with the most
Pino Luongo is the host I always want to be the guest of. He makes you feel welcome, encouraged, special and feels warm and sincere. His menu is rich in options and seasonal. Last night we had the autumnal salad and (perhaps) the final heirloom tomatoes of 2013. He agreed to make the Wednesday night special Timpano (baked pasta with eggplant & mozzarella and other treats) on Thursday night. We enjoyed roast chicken, duck (wow) and salmon. He was unwilling for us to skip dessert and sent two to the table.
I go back and back because the food and the staff and the chef are first rate.
10/16/2013 5:00:00 PM
The food at Morso is ...excellent!
The food at Morso is ...excellent! Now, we need to try our hand at some of Pino's recipes in his famous cookbook!

Great location.. Met our son for brunch Saturday morn
Lovely ambiance, wonderful food, (cauliflower soup with green peas was outstanding!!)
Each of the entrees we ordered was delicious as well. Three of us shared the tirimasu for dessert.... Quite possibly among the best best I've ever tasted! Add to that fine service,attentive service and you get a wonderful Satuday bunch experience!!
E will definitely trend for dinner!
11/2/2013 12:00:00 AM
We returned to Morso on a busy Saturday night, but they honored our reservation and seated us in a timely manner. As always, the service was friendly and professional. The rabbit and pork chop were superb, as were the appetizers and a well priced bottle of Montalcino. This is a restaurant that has improved with time as it has settled in as a Sutton Place area standout. It's a bit far East for some, but well worth the trek! We look forward to our return to once again sample the culinary creativity of Chef'/Owner Pino Luongo.
11/2/2013 12:00:00 AM
I find the restaurant to be a very warm, enjoyable place to eat. Not noisy and frenetic. The staff goes out of their way to be helpful.
11/9/2013 4:00:00 PM
Excellent Meal -- Excellent Service
This restaurant is a true find. Everything you could want in an Italian restaurant, delicious pasta dishes prepared in both traditional and new creative ways, great and unique appetizers -- even the bread and special cheese butter is unique. The ambiance is a great combination of dimmed lights, funky, fun and sophisticated decor and a very comfortable atmosphere. Neither formal nor casual this is just the right mix.
The service was outstanding, from the friendly hostess to the accommodating wait staff. The best part is the price -- for NYC to get all that you would expect to have to pay top dollar but this is a very reasonably priced restaurant that delivers on all counts!
Highly recommended you won't be disappointed.
11/9/2013 4:00:00 PM
Thumbs up all around! A warm
Thumbs up all around! A warm greeting from Chef started off. Most pleasant experience in food and service. I will definitely go back and back

Best Upscale Italian
Morso feels new and fresh while so many of its long-established northern Italian counterparts now feel dowdy and oldfashioned. This extends to the food, which includes all the classic recipes, beautifully prepared with fresh and colorful ingredients, and simply presented. A huge plus is the ability to order small or large portions of most dishes. The wine list is mercifully short, mostly Italian, and refreshingly affordable too. Servers are helpful and attentive, but never suffocating. If your favorite East Side Italian has become a bit of a "wrinkle room" in recent years, try Morso instead!
11/20/2013 4:00:00 PM
Class environment, Great food...
And outstanding service. From the warm, beautiful hostess who greets you and takes you to your table, to the fabulous decor of the restaurant, right on through wonderful wait staff and deicious food, Morso is a New York gem. I gives Eastside dining the flavor of an different, more glamourous time.

14th June, 2011
Some members of the Yaba Local Council Development Area, LCDA, Legislative have sent a Save Our Soul, SOS, message to the leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to intervene in the brewing crisis in the council.
The councilors met and resolved that it was time the legislative crisis in the council was brought to an end.
The Council Leader, Olaluwoye Solomon said today that a change of leadership occurred in Yaba Legislative Council on 13 December, 2010 when one of the councilors, Sheu Ishola vacated the seat of leadership of the legislative council for him as a result of alleged corruption.
â€œHowever, there has never been peace at the council since Sheu stepped-aside. All manner of harassment, intimidation and persecution have been meted out to members of the legislative arm through thuggery and invitations by the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti and State Security Service, S.S.S.
â€œNonetheless, the council members had been resolute in addressing the overbearing executive interference in the discharge of its legislative duties and also in electing its own leaders which resonates with happenings at the National Assembly,â€ he said.
He said the councillors were demanding that the mace which was forcefully taken to the police station be returned to the council immediately, while hoodlums and miscreants paid to close the council down should vacate the local government secretariat.

Context: Diet modification is a mainstay of diabetes management. US Hispanics/Latinos are disproportionately affected by diabetes, but few studies have examined dietary intake among US Hispanics/Latinos with diabetes, and little is known regarding the influence of diabetes awareness on dietary intake. Objective: We evaluated macronutrient intake and its associations with diabetes awareness and glycemic control among US Hispanics/Latinos with diabetes. Participants: This analysis included 3310 diabetic adults aged 18-74 years from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (2008-2011). Main Outcome Measures: Diabetes was defined as diagnosed (based on medical history or antihyperglycemic medication use) or undiagnosed diabetes (based on fasting glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL, glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c] ≥ 6.5%, or 2 h glucose ≥ 200 mg/dL in the absence of a physician diagnosis). Dietary intake was assessed using two 24-hour recalls. Results: Among Hispanic/Latino adults with diabetes, 21.2%, 55.7%, and 71.2% met the American Diabetes Association recommendations for fiber (≥14 g per 1000 kcal), saturated fat (<10% of total energy), and cholesterol intake (<300 mg), respectively. Compared with those with undiagnosed diabetes, people with diagnosed diabetes consumed less carbohydrate (50.3 vs 52.4% of total energy; P = .017), total sugar (19.1 vs 21.5% of total energy; P = .002), added sugar (9.8 vs 12.1% of total energy; P < .001), and more total fat (30.7 vs 29.3% of total energy; P = .048) and monounsaturated fat (11.5 vs 10.7% of total energy; P = .021). Association between diabetes awareness and low total and added sugar intake was observed in individuals of Mexican and Puerto Rican background but not in other groups (P for interaction < .05). Among people with diagnosed diabetes, those with HbA1c of 7% or greater consumed more total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol than those with HbA1c less than 7% (all P < .05). Conclusions: Among US Hispanics/Latinos with diabetes, fiber intake is low, and diabetes awareness is associated with reduced carbohydrate and sugar intake and increased monounsaturated fat intake. Sugar intake may require special attention in certain Hispanic/Latino background groups.

The usage of Digital CIGARETTES (E-CIGARETTES) represents a substantial and growing proportion of tobacco usage, posing a huge danger to oral health. This article will look at the following areas of e-cigarettes:When put next to classic tobacco use, an argument that e-cigarette use might be as harmful to oral wellness—if not more harmful—may be designed.OverviewUsing e-cigarettes, referred to as vaping, functions by heating a liquid to produce an aerosol the consumer inhales. The liquid within the e-cigarette, referred to as e-liquid, is often designed up of propylene glycol, glycerin, flavorings, drinking water, and nicotine, Even though some buyers will substitute THC for nicotine. In follow, e-cigarette people have a tendency to succeed in reduce blood nicotine concentrations than tobacco people who smoke, even though it is hard to create a immediate comparison since nicotine concentrations in e-cigarettes vary greatly.
Researchers and antitobacco advocates are Particularly anxious that irresponsible internet marketing has built e-cigarettes attract the section of your young populace that experienced no record of tobacco usage and hardly ever intended to begin smoking. Because of the acknowledged unsafe consequences of standard tobacco methods, use amid Center and high school pupils continues to be steadily reducing due to the fact 2014. Having said that, since the introduction of your e-cigarette, that number has become rising, and it can be approximated that one in five high ejuice school pupils may well now be utilizing tobacco products and solutions. (two) E-cigarette use from 2017 to 2018 increased 78% among the highschool college students and forty eight% amid middle faculty pupils. (three)Propylene glycolThe first Risk of e-cigarettes is linked to the carrier product or service called propylene glycol (PG). PG is mostly Utilized in the production of polymers As well as in foodstuff processing. It can be found in many edible goods, such as liquid sweeteners, ice product, and whipped dairy products and solutions. It may act as a carrier for several inhalant pharmaceutical solutions, which includes nicotine. PG is a viscous, colorless liquid that possesses a faintly sweet style and has become the big elements from the e-liquid used in e-cigarettes. When utilised orally, the breakdown products and solutions of PG consist of acetic acid, lactic acid, and propionaldehyde, which can be all poisonous to enamel and gentle tissue. (4) Furthermore, PG is usually a hygroscopic product, which means h2o molecules in saliva and oral tissue will bond towards the PG molecules, bringing about tissue desiccation. (5) The result of This can be xerostomia, or “dry mouth,” which has been demonstrated to cause an increase in cavities, gum ailment, along with other oral health concerns.
Vegetable glycerin and flavorings
The 2nd Risk of e-cigarettes is due to other major element of e-liquid: glycerin and flavorings. Vegetable glycerin (VG) is a colorless, odorless, viscous, and sweet-tasting liquid. It has a myriad of applications, which includes medical, pharmaceutical, and personal treatment. While in the food industry, it serves like a humectant, solvent, and sweetener. It is 60% as sweet as sucrose and isn’t metabolized by cariogenic microorganisms, and is also consequently imagined to not induce cavities. Having said that, studies have proven that The mix of VG with flavorings generates a fourfold rise in microbial adhesion to enamel as well as a twofold boost in biofilm development. (six) Furthermore, a 27% reduce in enamel hardness was shown when flavorings were being additional to e-liquid as compared with unflavored controls. The viscosity with the e-liquid also permitted Streptococcus mutans to adhere to pits and fissures. In other words, e-liquid allows much more cavity-resulting in bacteria to stick with a softer tooth and can result in rampant decay.NicotineAnother Risk affiliated with e-cigarettes needs to do with nicotine. Despite the fact that The share of nicotine is way lower (0.3%–one.8%) than regular tobacco items, just one electronic cartridge (two hundred–four hundred puffs) can equal the cigarette smoking of two to 3 packs of normal cigarettes. The harmful consequences of nicotine on gum tissue are well-known. The literature suggests that nicotine influences gingival blood movement as it is a vasoconstrictor. It also impacts cytokine manufacturing, neutrophil purpose, and other immune cell operate. (7) Moreover, nicotine decreases connective tissue turnover. All this benefits a much higher probability of acquiring gum sickness and tooth decline.

Why hate the word 'moist'?
The English language is nothing if not descriptive. But if you are looking to describe something slightly wet, you may want to steer clear of one word in particular - moist.
A study into the common aversion of the word has shown the general disgust it creates may be due to its association to bodily functions, and even related to the facial muscles used to say the word.
Dr Paul Thibodeau, a psychologist from Oberlin College in Ohio, looked at four possible reasons why the word elicited such a strong negative response from people.
One hypothesis is that people just don't like the sound of the word, or that it may be associated with sex and bodily functions.
While one of the more interesting, but controversial, ideas was that it creates 'facial feedback'. The act of saying the word uses the same arrangement of facial muscles as we use to show disgust.
More than 2,400 people were asked to complete questionnaires over the course of five experiments, with initial results revealing almost 18 per cent of people did have an aversion to the word 'moist'. Furthermore, the results showed that aversion was more likely to affect young, neurotic women.
When compared against strongly aversive words, such as 'murderer' or 'vomit', it was found to be fairly benign.
The initial findings indicate the word has become tainted with cultural references, with people linking the word with bodily functions contexts, and so contaminating it.
Dr Thibodeau wrote the findings suggest 'that the prototypical moist-averse person is a young, neurotic, female who is well-educated and somewhat disgusted by bodily function.'

Presenting author biography:

Effective care for people experiencing suicidal ideation in harm reduction services: a protocol informed by lived experience, practice and research.
Kate Hocknull, Amanda Roxburgh, Carolyn Day, Brennan Geiger, Samantha College-Frisby, Mark Bartlett, Fiona Shand
Risk of suicide is 14 times greater for people who inject drugs (PWID), compared to the general population. Existing guidelines for identifying suicide risk include factors that are highly prevalent among PWID, and often necessitate involving police, ambulance and Emergency Department admission, which may increase harm. A targeted protocol, codesigned with clients, is needed. We sought to gather evidence to support development of an appropriate, client-centred suicide protocol.
Two focus groups (FGs) were conducted within a mixed methods codesign process. One FG included clients of the Sydney Medically Supervised Injecting Centre (MSIC) with lived experience of suicidal ideation or self-harm (Client-FG). The second included MSIC clients and experts from local mental health and alcohol and drug services (Multidisciplinary-FG).
An experienced external facilitator led the groups. Client-FG participants discussed their suicidality/ self-harming experiences, perceived needs, and interactions with services in times of crisis. Multidisciplinary-FG participants discussed solutions to problems that built on themes identified in the Client-FG. The groups were audio-recorded. Themes were analysed using an inductive thematic analysis.
Seven of 12 clients who indicated interest in the Client-FG participated. Key themes: loss of power/autonomy, fear of persecution, and involuntary incarceration, often resulting in non-disclosure of important information; a strong desire to be validated/heard; the quality of interactions with staff.
All six staff and one of four clients who expressed interest in the Multidisciplinary-FG participated. Key themes were: trust as integral to staff practice/client experience; client retention of control and autonomy in their care; concern that service models can devalue the perspectives and experience of clients when suicidality is identified.
Discussions and Conclusions:
Findings contributed to the development of a protocol that acknowledges suicide risk as dynamic; bases response on compassion, empathy, transparency, and collaboration; aims to build trust and validate clients’ experience; presents streamlined processes for staff.

The chemical processes by which cold, dark molecular clouds evolve into stars and planetary systems can be studied through isotopic analyses of primitive materials of our solar system: comets, asteroids, and interplanetary dust. These are represented primarily by components found in meteorites. Some nuclides provide information on time-scales, such as 26Mg produced by β-decay of 26Al; others can be directly related to earlier stages of stellar nucleosynthesis, such as 48Ca, 50Ti, and 54Cr from supernova events. Oxygen isotopes play a unique role in serving as a chemical tracer for solar nebular processes, and exhibit characteristic "isotopic anomalies" representing isolation of various chemical reservoirs on scales with dimensions ranging from micrometers (individual crystals) to thousands of kilometers (planets).
The cosmochemical issues addressed by meteorite studies bear directly on the origin of the planets and the initial conditions of formation of the Earth, particularly including its initial thermal state and the abundance and distribution of its internal energy sources. Isotopic studies of terrestrial materials are widely used to study the evolution of the Earth's major chemical systems: core, mantle, crust, ocean, atmosphere up to the present time. Studies of sulfur isotopes in photochemical reactions may bear on the early evolution of our oxygen-rich atmosphere.
Major advances in isotopic cosmochemistry and geochemistry depend on the development of ever better techniques for precise isotopic analysis of very small samples. We pioneered in the use of the ion microprobe, a device based on "secondary-ion mass spectrometry," for determination of elemental and isotopic abundances of elements at low concentrations in microscopic samples. We are now collaborating with a research group at the Argonne National Laboratory in the application of "resonance ionization mass spectrometry" in measuring the products of stellar nuclear reactions as recorded in "stardust": micrometer-sized mineral grains that were formed in or around stars, and were delivered to Earth inside meteorites. These provide direct experimental evidence of nucleosynthesis in red-giant stars and supernovae.

What do you know about Heritance Aarah? I bet you might know the usual things in which this luxury resort stands out for amongst its guests, like the exotic underwater marvels that it has and fine dining experiences under a majestic star-studded sky. But did you ever hear about the “Aarah Tharukaaree Dhandu”?
This phrase translates as Aarah’s vegetable garden, in English. And now, you are about to hear a short story of this little garden. The Heritonians, which is the team of Aarah, are perfectionists. They will not leave until their heart is satisfied with what they have done and are always trying to find productive ways to add more and more value to everything of the resort.
Associates joined hands to help turn what was once a construction area into an organic vegetable garden with the aim of growing fresh produce, that would then be allocated for the consumption of the resort’s valued guests and associates.
They started off by maintaining an organic compost pit that is rich in nutrients and organic matter, and took it a few steps further, in the hopes of promoting the well-being and healthy lifestyle of everyone of the resort, ensuring that they give back to Mother Nature and respect natural surroundings in the process.
Now with their newest addition of a lush garden, rich with a variety of fruits and vegetables, the resort’s ecstasy level flies to new heights and the team is very much delighted to have involved in a project that allowed them to become part of the searching and discovers of nature’s pathway.

A 26-year-old man has died after a lorry and car crashed on the A1 in the early hours of the morning.
The man, who was from Warsop Vale, was travelling southbound in a Vauxhall Zafira at around 5.20am this morning, Sunday July 22.
He was in a collision with a HGV which happened closed to the exit slip road at Carlton on Trent and died at the scene.
The road was closed for several hours from the A57 at Markham Moor to the B1164 near Carlton on Trent and re-opened at around 3pm.
Police, paramedics and firefighters all rushed to the scene of the incident.
One person on the Nottinghamshire Police Facebook page said: "Yet another death on the A1, so sad."
A spokesperson for East Midlands Ambulance Service said: "We received a call at 5.16am on July 22 to an incident on the A1. The caller reported a road traffic collision involving two vehicles. We sent two paramedics in fast response vehicles and our Hazardous Area Response Team."
If you saw anything or have any dash-cam footage that may have captured footage of either of the vehicles before the collision, or the collision itself contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101 quoting incident 191 of 22 July 2018.

Moreton Island, island lying across Moreton Bay from Brisbane, off the southeast coast of Queensland, Australia. It is about 25 miles (40 km) long by 5 miles (8 km) wide. The island’s sand dunes, originally wind-formed but now fixed by vegetation, may be the world’s loftiest, rising to 912 feet (278 metres) at Mount Tempest. In 1770 Captain James Cook, the British navigator, visited the island, which he thought to be a peninsula, and named its northwest extremity Cape Moreton. The British navigator who surveyed the entire coast of Australia, Matthew Flinders, determined its insular characteristics in 1799. Site of the state’s first lighthouse in 1857, Moreton also had a short-lived whaling station at Tangalooma in 1952. A ferry links the island to Brisbane. Area 66 square miles (171 square km). Pop. (2006) 250; (2011) 298.

I am excited to present this cute Back to School Monster pencil case! Every year I think of coming up with a Back to School project and end up finding no time. I made the one in blue and orange first and my little girl loved it. She requested one in pink and orange, so I whipped up a second one. Made using mostly single crochet stitches and cotton worsted weight yarn, it turned out pretty sturdy. I am sure this will keep the kids entertained in their free time. You will need a matching zipper for the pouch. I didn't find an orange zipper and had to use a blue one. If you are intimidated by the zipper, the pattern explains in detail how to attach the zipper. Hey, there is a first time for everything! You can do this.
You can download the free pattern here: Monster Pencil Case

The paving of 42nd Street, railroad quiet zones and the future of the Imperial Mall were among a dozen topics discussed Saturday during the Hastings City Council’s annual retreat at Central Community College-Hastings.
City Administrator Joe Patterson looks for input from the mayor and council members on priority issues every year before the budget preparation begins in earnest.
This year that includes the paving of 42nd Street between U.S. Highway 281 and Baltimore Avenue.
“That is probably the most often asked about question I get when I’m out and about, is ‘when you are going to do something about that?’ ” Patterson said. “It’s not some of the other things we have as priorities. It’s definitely, for many, many people in the community, a priority to do something there.”
A common way to pay for a street improvement project is to assess the cost of the project to adjacent property owners. Patterson said in this case that probably wouldn’t work.
He said southwest of that stretch of 42nd Street is a flood plain. North of it is farm ground.
“The bottom line is if you try to assess it and create a paving district the owners will kill it because of the wetlands and the non-developable property or the fact they’re farming it and see no practical need for it to be paved other than it will increase traffic by their land,” he said.
He said one potential funding source for the project would be using the defederalized money Hastings receives from the state that can be used for projects on arterial and collector streets.
The state gets federal money and allocates 90 percent of those funds to local governments. The state uses the other 10 percent to cover administrative costs.
Plans to pave 42nd Street are 95 percent complete.
“It wouldn’t take a lot to get to that point,” Patterson said, referring to paving the road.
Railroad quiet zones are another priority for the city where planning is beginning to take shape.
Quiet crossings along the BNSF Railway in Hastings were among uses of the city’s recently renewed half-cent sales tax that were promoted during the campaign process.
When the council approved the city’s one- and six-year street improvement plan in February, it did so by placing railroad quiet zones in the plan for 2020.
At their most recent work session, council members learned from Director of Development Services Don Threewitt about the process to implement the quiet crossings. That process begins with the formation of a quiet crossing committee including city officials, consultants for assistance based on need and expertise of advice, and citizens at large.
Mayor Corey Stutte said Saturday he hopes to make appointments to that committee during the council’s next meeting.
Council members asked for updated cost estimates and traffic counts for the railroad crossings in question.
Stutte said it’s likely that the railroad will want to close some of the crossings.
While automobile traffic is an important factor looking at the crossings, so too is pedestrian traffic. Alcott Elementary is close to the BNSF line and many students using the crossings to get to school. Stutte said he will ask Trent Kelly, director of technology and operations for Hastings Public Schools, to serve on the quiet crossing committee to provide the school district’s perspective.
Councilman Butch Eley asked for a quiet zone fact sheet to be prepared for public dissemination.
“A lot of people I’ve talked to think ‘well, they’re just not going to blow the whistle anymore,’ ” he said. “They don’t understand things are going to change and they may close some (crossings). The sooner we can get some kind of media plan or ‘this is how this works’ it’s going to save us from a lot of pushback closer to doing it.”
Stutte said he believed Threewitt and City Engineer Dave Wacker could put together such a fact sheet.
The importance of long-range planning came up in nearly every project council members discussed during the retreat.
Hastings looks to update its comprehensive plan in 2018. The city will also evaluate the merits and obligations of possible annexations.
Long-range planning also includes looking at the future of west Hastings with properties such as the Imperial Mall, Village Inn property and Hastings Municipal Airport.
The airplane on display at the airport entrance was brought up as needing maintenance.
Patterson said Randy Chick, executive director of the Community Redevelopment Authority, told him the CRA is willing to pay for a consultant to do a long-range redevelopment plan for the mall.
Council members also asked for an update on the Hastings Southeast Project, which will make improvements to U.S. Highway 6 and South Elm Avenue in southeast Hastings.
Patterson said Wacker could that provide an update at a future council work session.
Councilwoman Jeniffer Beahm, who represents the First Ward and south Hastings, which includes Highway 6, said the project has the opportunity to provide more amenities in that area.
“We are focusing a lot on the north end of Hastings, which is great, but I want to make sure we’re taking care of what we already have,” she said, referring to the ongoing North Park Commons residential and commercial development on the north edge of Hastings.
Stutte said he wanted to schedule a joint meeting in the near future with Hastings Utility Board members to discuss renewable energy options in the city.
Council members also discussed once again addressing the city’s fireworks ordinance, possibly making changes to the days and hours when discharge of fireworks is allowed.
Councilwoman Sarah Hoops also offered a recommendation to streamline the city’s current mission statement.
Among other topics discussed Saturday included updates on reorganization and comparability.
The city will address employee salary comparability this year.
A committee of department heads have been meeting weekly to work on finding the best way forward when it comes to consolidation between Hastings Utilities and other city departments.
“You couldn’t, if you tried, make it more separate than it already is,” Patterson said. “That’s the challenge of getting it back together.”
He said he hopes to capture efficiencies of consolidation to help provide the best employee benefits offered between the two organizations.
“I’m trying very hard to not have any employees lose something they currently have,” he said. “At the end of the day (council members) are going to take a look at that and say ‘we agree, we don’t agree’ and if you don’t agree you can modify it.”

Over the past few months here in the Caribbean we have seen an influx of High Yield Investment Programs popping up particularly Jamaica, all under the guise of being Forex Trading Managers who will trade on your behalf. Some are extensions of online invest Schemes calling themselves now Investment Clubs.
Most have turned out to be nothing more than well put together and very sophisticated Ponzi Schemes, they collect from Peter and John to pay Paul. You know the drill with these Ponzi Schemes, the ones that get in first including the owners gets paid huge sums of monies and flaunt their payment checks before gullible prospective members, enticing them to join, because they are missing out big time on a once in a lifetime deal and more often that not the unsuspecting fish swallows the bait.
Forex trading is an honorable and totally legitimate way of becoming financially free in a relatively short time if you educate yourself in how to trade wisely. What these scams are doing is bringing an honorable income generating machine as forex trading into disrepute, especially in my neck of the woods and no amount of warning issued by the financial regulation authorities can dissuade these misguided investors to stop investing in these schemes.
People have sold tangible assets like their homes, lands and cars to invest in these schemes only to now be wailing and cursing "so-called detractors of these schemes" for their predicament; denial is one hell of a vice if one can call it that. Waking one morning to hear that a scheme you invested Millions of Dollars into just up and vanished is a bitter pill to swallow.
It is even worst online when one usually has never met the principals in these ponzi schemes, they typically use fictitious names and non persistent office addresses to give a semblance of legitimacy to their scams but please be on the look out. There are legitimate companies that executes forex trades on your behalf both online and offline but you as an investor must do your own due diligence on these companies.
As for me I trade using the Easy forex platform as I find it very easy to use as the name denotes. So if you believe you have what it takes to trade on the forex market this could be your gateway to success and cut out the middle man to whatever you would have to pay a fee to trade on your behalf or worst yet get scammed in their illegal ponzi scheme.

Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah’s spokesperson Murtaza Wahab took to his official Twitter handle and announced the two new deaths in the province. The senator also announced 209 new COVID-19 cases.

KPK finance minister blasts media for undue criticism
Taimur Khan Jhagra, the finance and health minister, says his administration will entertain the constructive criticism and suggestions to improve in his latest tweets. Adding that pointless and unfounded criticism would trample down the fight against coronavirus.
Jhagra’s tweets were in response to denunciation from an award-winning journalist Benazir Shah who slammed the KP government for mediocre facilities for the Pakistani ex-pats at the quarantine facilities. She quoted an article that shared the account of a Pakistani ex-pat kept in one of the quarantine facility in KP after returning from UAE.
The Pakistani ex-pat had shared the pictures of a monstrous condition of a room in which he was kept at the quarantine facility.
Jhagra challenged the claims made by a Pakistani ex-pat returning from UAE and decried the journalist for sharing the news piece without any investigation.

As far as i know jaco pasturious or john patituci (i always mix-up those two :) ) have recorded bach's 6 cello suites with bass guitar.
11-26-2004, 02:35 AM
Really . That's good .
Jeff Berlin once recorded a song called "Bach" which was a tribute to bach . It's a little to technical for my taste , though .
Micheal Shenkner Group, has some great Bass work out there.

I think classical music is a great way to expand your skills as a bass player.

When auditioning Upright Bassists for our band I met alot of guys with extensive Jazz background yet Very very few of them could play a Tumbao Rhythm for more than a few bars without going back to something more basic. I think that learning and practicing a good Tumbao could help any Bass player with his groove. The Groove can be more important that the notes. Check out this Tumbao Groove (http://LosBoleros.net/music/TVSpot.MP3)

I've got a book somewhere of J.S Bach pieces specifically for bass, it's basically all arpeggio pieces which were used as right hand piano training pieces.Some really nice sounding stuff, sounds a lot more complicated than it is!! Amaze your freinds and astound enemies at a single solo piece!!
I'll dig it out and post the I.S.B.N No or maybe even tab one of the pieces out if anyone's interested?
12-28-2004, 06:49 PM
if anyone's interested?
12-29-2004, 12:27 PM
hey Los Boleros, my experience with a lot of jazz-rhythm sections is that they have trouble playing simple repeating patterns without constantly playing variations. At the conservatory I study at I have seen great jazz bassists and drummers play awful, awful pop music because of this (amongst other things like a different time feel).
12-29-2004, 07:50 PM
It'll take a while to tab, but I am determined to do it!!!!!!
It will be Prelude #1 in C major. I think I'll have to tab it in Word, then add it as an attatchment. As you may have guessed I'm not that 'au fait' when it comes to these computer type thingy's!!!!!!:p :p
12-29-2004, 09:47 PM

if you're interested in slap bass along with classical peices then i suggest "Classical Thump" by Victor Wooten. A truly incredibly intriguing peice. I have just recently learned it by looking in Victor Wooten's tab book. I can post a site to find it if anyone is interested.

Disney Pixar fans are counting down the days until the release of the company's newest film, Coco, which hits theaters on November 22. As families across the country prepare to take a break from Thanksgiving festivities in order to participate in some of that cathartic weeping that Pixar so reliably delivers, many fans are wondering, who plays Miguel in Coco? The film's protagonist, a young aspiring musician, is voiced by Anthony Gonzalez, an actual young aspiring musician. Judging by his talent and dedication, it seems inevitable that this will only be the first big star turn of many for the 12-year-old actor.
Coco tells the story of a boy who travels to the Land of the Dead during Mexican holiday Día de Muertos, in order to discover the truth about his family and claim his own power as a musician. In typical Disney fashion, the creative team put tons of time and energy into the casting process for Miguel, the most essential role in the movie. They auditioned hundreds of boys, with writer-director Lee Unkrich telling Backstage:
From our experience, it’s really hard to find children who can act well, but we had to thread a needle because I needed a Latino boy, I needed him to be a certain age—but since our movies take a long time to make, I couldn’t have his voice change on me!—and ideally I needed a kid who could sing. It was just kind of a tall order.
It may have been a tall order, but they ended up finding the perfect fit. Gonzalez told Time that the audition process for Coco took "about a year" to complete, and that he originally just came in to lay down the scratch voice track for the film's preliminary mock-up. But soon, Unkrich and others realized that they had struck gold. Gonzalez told Time:
Then last Christmas, they said they had a present for me and brought me this box. I opened it and there was this beautiful piece of artwork that just said "You got the part." I was so shocked, I just fell to the floor. I couldn’t believe it.
If you've got any doubts as to the level of Gonzalez's talents, just watch this clip of him surprising people at Downtown Disney with one of the original Coco songs, and watch your doubts vanish into dust:
Gonzalez grew up singing mariachi music with his family in Los Angeles from a young age, and it didn't take long for people to recognize him as a powerhouse. According to his bio for New York Magazine's Vulture Fest:
At age 4, Gonzalez walked into the oldest Hispanic talent agency in Los Angeles, the Alvarado Rey Agency, belting out a Mariachi—he was signed on the spot.
Coco isn't Gonzalez's first credit. You may have seen him on an episode of Criminal Minds, performing in theater productions, singing on The Voice, or even performing each year for Teletón USA, "a Univision initiative that brings together Latin Americans to improve the lives of sick children." (Say it with me: Awwwww!)
Still, Coco is clearly the biggest thing he's done so far, and it seems likely that things are about to change radically for this eighth grader. (After all, he's now got toys with his character's face on them!) Not to worry though, his parents aren't letting the fame get to his head. As Gonzalez told Time:
Well, of course I have to clean my room and sometimes wash the dishes. And do a lot of other cleaning, because my brothers, they leave a mess. But me too, me too. I have to admit I’m guilty of that too.
Clearly his soon to be stardom hasn't jaded him yet. Coco premieres in theaters on November 22 nationwide.

Joe Kernan: Rangers success is perfect answer to begrudger Spillane
It seems that begrudgery is still alive and well within certain quarters in the GAA.
Prior to their All Ireland Club semi-final against Kilmacud Crokes last Sunday, Crossmaglen Rangers became the target for some barbed comments from Pat Spillane, the well-known RTE analyst and Sunday newspaper columnist.
Every commentator, of course, is entitled to his or her views, but when such observations amount to nothing more than snide remarks and cheap shots then they surely lack depth and credence.
The Rangers found themselves confronted by a six-point half-time deficit last Sunday but a fusion of intelligent defending, clinical finishing and cool discipline saw them emerge triumphant to book their place against St Brigid’s (Roscommon) in the All Ireland Club final on St Patrick’s Day in Croke Park.
Of course, the best way to respond is by retaining winning ways and Rangers have certainly done that.
By their own admission, they have not been particularly convincing in recent months yet opposing sides have been unable to get the better of them.
I have long been convinced that consistently successful sides — and here I am thinking in particular of the Munster rugby side of recent vintage and the Meath teams that won All Ireland titles in 1987, ’88, ’96 and ’99 – invariably possess inner qualities of belief and passion that can see them through the most difficult of assignments.
In my opinion the current Crossmaglen side has similar assets — they simply will not hear of the word defeat.
They may or may not win the All Ireland Club title, but they are certainly deserving of rather more credit than someone like Pat Spillane might be prepared to bestow upon them.

The phrase attractive nuisance might sound like an oxymoron, but it is actually a vital component of personal injury law. Specifically, an attractive nuisance is something on your property that may attract children and cause them injury.
The law views children differently than adults. Even though children who are interacting with an attractive nuisance on your property may be trespassing if you do not give them permission to be there, this alone is not enough to prevent you from a lawsuit If the child sustains an injury. According to FindLaw, you must ensure that you provide reasonable care regarding children and attractive nuisances on your property.
What are attractive nuisances?
The most quintessential attractive nuisance is an unattended swimming pool. Something like this may attract children looking to play and potentially lead to injury or death. Other examples of attractive nuisances include animals, certain kinds of landscaping, wells, ladders and broken gates.
What can I do about attractive nuisances?
Child trespassers may be frustrating, but there are ways to protect yourself. For instance, make sure that you obey all local regulations pertaining to your attractive nuisance. In the case of swimming pools, this often means putting up a perimeter fence around the pool to discourage child trespassers.
There is no need to remove all attractive nuisances from your property. However, make sure that you take all appropriate steps to warn children of the danger and document everything that you have done. You may choose to move certain attractive nuisances into a shed or other closed-off area. You may also talk to the parents if they are your neighbors.

Annual Spring Show
Spring Show 2011 Top Industry Quotes
Overall, I had a great experience. The amount and diversity of talent at the Academy is very impressive.

Most of the pieces showed a high level of sophistication that's rare in student work. There were some pieces, like the (Il Jong Kim ), that are on a professional level. Much of the work crossed disciplines in several areas and showed good fabrication skills, as well as modeling.
Eugene Daub, Sculptor
I believe the students were well prepared. One department that really impressed me was Foundations...the work presented was, in my opinion, outstanding. In that, I believe, is the secret to all the subsequent work from the different classes being successful. The Industrial Design department was also, in my opinion, remarkable. The aesthetics were impressive, the students were excited as well as knowledgeable, and the solutions to the design problems were quite effective.
