: Amid recent reports of tigers
killing and eating elephants in Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand, the forest authorities in Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary
) have caught on camera four tigers scavenging on a carcass of a dead elephant.
The rare camera trap image throws light on the fact that the powerful predators also resort to scavenging of megaherbivores like elephants. Despite the common belief that apex predators like tigers eat only the animals they kill themselves, experts say it is not uncommon for a tiger to take up the job of scavengers.
The tigers were caught feasting on the elephant carcass at Tholpetty in the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary as part of a carcass monitoring study.
“The wild elephant had died after getting injured in a fight with another elephant and the camera traps fixed near the carcass have recorded four tigers scavenging on the elephant carcass,” an official with the forest department said.
Wildlife veterinary surgeon Dr Arun Zachariah said that predation of elephant calves by tigers has also been recorded in the sanctuary. Tigers generally target the elephant calves which have strayed or abandoned by the elephant herd.
“Predation of elephant calves by tigers is not uncommon in the sanctuary and we have seen up to six cases in a year. Apart from predation of calves, the camera traps have recorded instances of tigers scavenging on carcass of dead elephant as well,” he said adding that the photograph showed a female tiger along with her three sub-adult cubs devouring the elephant carcass.
A recent study conducted at the Corbett National Park had found tigers killing elephants, mainly young ones, and eating them too. Experts say that elephant carcasses provide tigers with easy availability of large quantum of biomass and also help them save the energy needed for hunting species like Sambar deer and spotted deer.
WWS has the highest population of tigers in the state, numbering around 75, and is also a key habitat of Asiatic elephants.

Spanish Police Seize 680 Kilos of Hashish Along Costa Del Sol
Spain’s National Police and tax authorities have seized 680 kilograms of hashish from a pleasure boat along the Costa del Sol, officials reported on Monday.
Authorities spotted the boat in August, noting it lingered off the Moroccan coast until nightfall before crossing the Mediterranean to the Spanish port of Almería.
Agents intercepted and boarded the vessel, where they discovered the drugs hidden inside 30 gasoline canisters and arrested the crew, comprised of two suspects of British and Dutch nationality.
The seizure is the third phase of an investigation that began in 2019, when Spanish authorities learned of a Franco-Moroccan drug trafficking network operating along the country’s southern coast.
In October 2020, police saw a suspicious vessel near Marbella jettisoning gas canisters overboard as police approached.
The suspects subsequently abandoned the boat on shore. Police recovered the gas canisters and discovered 222 kilos of hashish concealed within.
At the end of 2020, a Tax Agency Customs Surveillance team boarded a separate vessel and discovered the crew had a document with geographic coordinates written on it. Upon interrogating another suspect detained on land in possession of a similar document, authorities determined the coordinates to be a rendezvous point for handing off the drugs.
A search of the yacht’s gas canisters revealed an additional 621 kilos of hashish.
Police have so far made 14 arrests in the course of dismantling the network.

Esports - "More knowledge needed."
Big names from the world of esports gathered this week at the MMTC research centre at Jönköping International Business School, for two days of workshops and networking, in order to discuss the future of the hugely popular esports phenomenon.
Hosted by the newly created Esports Research Network (ERN) and MMTC, the esports symposium, which is taking place from 27th - 28th November, is a bid to get all stakeholders within esports to take stock, discuss current problems and work for a more sustainable future for the industry.
“Our aim with this symposium, is to bring together researchers, practitioners, game developers and people from the grassroots of esports," says Dr Tobias Scholz, Assistant Professor at the University of Siegen, Germany and a founder member of the ERN. "These people don’t usually meet, but if we want to achieve sustainability in this industry, then all stakeholders need to be onboard.”
"I'm really pleased that this is happening" - David Jawette.
Esports is a gigantic industry, where a lot of money can be made. But it’s also an industry that no one really understands, least of all those who are investing huge amounts of money into esports and the teams involved.
“Investors need more knowledge about esports so that they know what they are putting their money into,” says David Jawette, Nordic Field Marketing Manager for Dreamhack. “There needs to be unbiased research that can build statistics and data around esports, so that investors can make better judgements. Equally, more research will help legitimise the sport, encourage governing bodies to set better regulations and structures, and make esports organisations more accountable.”
What are the challenges for the future of esports?
Opening the symposium on Wednesday, Dr Brian McCauley, MMTC researcher and organiser of the event, highlighted the ideal location of Jönköping for this kind of gathering.
“Jönköping is the city of Dreamhack, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. People here have grown up with Dreamhack, and this has fostered a vibrant esports ecosystem in Jönköping, something that Jönköping International Business School is already collaborating with. So, this symposium is happening at the right place and at the right time. Our hope is that by coming here this week, people build networks, learn something and find solutions to move forward.”

A beautiful homebirth waterbirth in Atlanta, told through photography and videography.
We do our best to tell the story of our client’s births in a way that is both beautiful and honest. We know what an incredible privilege and responsibility it is to be invited into their lives to document one of the most anticipated moments of their lives. So, when we start thinking about sharing their very personal images with the world, great care is taken with the words we chose to accompany them.
There are times when our own words just can’t do justice to what the family was going through and feeling and so we turn to them. The following is from Michelle, one of the strongest mamas we have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
“I've been thinking a lot recently about how to make this post, or rather to make it at all. After getting Sophia's birth story video yesterday, I decided to move forward. All of us encounter ups and downs in life. We celebrate the exciting and happy things that come our way and mourn our tragedies and losses. Sometimes we share those with others, sometimes we keep them privately to ourselves.
As many of you know, Zach and I, we had a pretty heavy loss last year. Half way through our pregnancy, we lost a baby girl. We had already shared this pregnancy publicly, which resulted in a publicly shared loss. To be honest, it was a blessing. Communicating individually to people who I didn't know well and asked me how the baby was, became much more difficult. To add in those that asked when I was due when I looked very pregnant but carried no child, was hard as well.
We thank God every day that we are fortunate and blessed with now not one baby boy (well big boy if you ask him) but a baby girl as well. Admittedly, what I didn't expect was the profound mix of emotions upon Sophia's birth. I was so excited and in love and yet equally struck again with grief over the loss of a baby girl that was due the same time as this one a year before. By no planning on our part, their due dates were days apart (although Sophia decided to come a month early).
Early in the pregnancy, I talked to Zach about documenting Sophia's birth as I wanted to remember her coming into the world forever. We wanted to share this with you to come full circle in our journey. We are so grateful to our friends, family, doctors, and nurses who have supported us along the way.” - Michelle
Here is the birth story of the beautiful Sophia James.
This birth story unfolded a little differently than this family expected for their their child. Labor unfolded so rapidly they were unable to get to the hospital in time and dad caught their third child, a son, as mom delivered at home, on the kitchen floor! The beautiful teamwork of this pair, plus the incredible footage caught by their nest camera and the audio retrieved from the 911 call, make this birth story truly unique. Shout out to calm, collected neighbor Todd who came to watch the kids so they could leave for the hospital--and ended up assisting a childs birth! Also to the amazing first responders that were so kind and caring, and who stayed with the family until they were all tucked in up in their postpartum room at the hospital.
Special thanks to this family for allowing their story to be shared!
While still relatively new, birth photography has grown in popularity over the last few years and because of that there are several articles explaining why you should hire a birth photographer. They highlight the love that is experienced between mother and their partner, the support that is crucial to bringing life into this world, capturing the moment that you see your baby for the first time and so many other beautiful reasons. All of which are absolutely valid and are, in fact, part of the reason that we love what we do. But in order to truly understand why we do what we do and why it can be so important to document the whole process for some mothers, you have to understand, appreciate and respect birth itself.
One of my favorite books, The Red Tent by Anita Diamant (if you haven’t read it you MUST!) has a line that reads, “Why did I not know that (child) birth is the pinnacle where women discover the courage to become mothers?...Until you are the woman on the bricks, you have no idea how death stands in the corner, ready to play his part. Until you are the woman on the bricks, you do not know the power that rises from other women.”
To some, that might sound a little scary and dark but for those who truly work to understand birth and are ready to support women through the most vulnerable, transformative experience of their lives, we know it is just another layer to the process of bring a child into this world.
There is a moment in every labor, regardless of how your baby is born, when no one breathes and time stands still. When a woman has to come out of her own body, she leaves herself and this world to meet her baby and bring them back with her.
This is what that moment looked like for me during the birth of our second son, Lowry. I was lucky enough to have our very own Claire there with me to document my VBAC and while these photos are so incredibly personal for me and my family, I felt an urge to share them with this post. To share that we know what that moment looks and feels like and how important it is to share what birth can and should be.
In that moment, if you feel loved, safe, supported, heard, and empowered you carry those feelings with you into your first few days, weeks, months of motherhood. If you are able to trust in your providers, your support system and your body during labor and delivery then you can carry that same trust into your instincts as a mother and begin your journey with confidence in your abilities and the wisdom to know when to ask for help.
So, why hire a birth photographer?
To document the story of your family, the day when you had to fight through two worlds to give your child their first breath, to help process the intense emotions that inevitably come with becoming a mother (even if it's for the second, third or fourth time), to improve the birth culture in our country and help other women see what birth can be, to show the next generation what they are capable of and what true love looks like from the very beginning.
As a collective, if we can help women understand how their birth has impacted them, allow them to see how incredible their bodies are, improve their journey into motherhood, and help them believe in themselves and what they are capable of, then we have done exactly what we set out to do.
Welcome to The Collective everyone. We are here and ready to get to work.
That seems a little ridiculous to write but it feels like we have been waiting forever and working so hard to get to this point where we can actually say it. So, one more time…
The Collective may be new to the Atlanta birth scene, but I can assure you, the women behind it are anything but. We have all be active birth workers and advocates for birthing rights for years now (21 total between us) as well as friends, colleagues and neighbors. (We all live within 2 streets of one another in Kirkwood and wouldn't have it any other way!)
We met because of our passion for birth and came together, initially to back each other up for clients and ultimately to form this collective and build a supportive community for ourselves, our clients and our city. Our goal is to help guide and document your birth story honestly and beautifully and to show how powerful it can be when women feel supported during childbirth.
To continue on with our introduction, here's a little more about each of our kick ass members!
Chanda was born and raised in Lake Claire. She has been photographing people since she was 5, and started her own photography business in 2009. She now lives in Kirkwood with her husband, Stephen, two sons, Che (11) and Isaiah (5), and their sweet pup, Stella Batman.
"The birth of my first son was so incredible and empowering, and I felt like that was a huge secret that it could be that way. I had learned about Doulas in a college class, and years later I realized that I could help women have amazing birth experiences as a doula. At my first birth, I was in awe of the beauty of birth--the intimacy, vulnerability and strength, which also seemed like a secret that nobody was talking about. That's when I decided to photograph the births I was supporting."
Claire is originally from Buffalo, New York but has been in the south for a while now. She fell in love with photography in high school when she chose it as one of her elective classes. It was a high school love that stuck. She and her boyfriend, Bryan, live in Kirkwood with their fur babies, Linus the pup and Fatz the cat.
"A couple of years in to my portrait photography business I came across work from a birth photographer who's images I thought were incredible. I was so intrigued I decided I needed to photograph a birth myself, and was quickly hooked up with a friend's sister who was expecting soon. That was pretty much it, I was hooked following that birth! My journey to supporting woman as a doula was a natural progression from there, especially as a nurturer by nature. Attending so many births as a photographer really informed me of the childbirth process and after some time, having seen the same situations over and over again in the delivery room I found that I could use my knowledge and experience to serve families in an additional way."
Brittany was born in Houston, Texas and raised pretty much all over the place. She settled in Atlanta back in 2008 and hasn't looked back. She was a latecomer to photography, starting in 2011 when she received her first DSLR camera as a gift for Christmas. She too, lives in Kirkwood with her husband, Chris, their two sons, Coulter (3) and Lowry (18 months) and their 2 very big and hairy dogs, Fen and Odie.
"As someone who typically shot anything and everything that came across my plate, not wanting to pass on any opportunity to grow as a photographer, it took the birth of my first son for me to realize what I truly wanted to focus on. The photos from his birth were so incredible, I was in awe of the entire process and I knew that I had to be a part of it in every way I could. So after photographing births for a few years and wanting to do more, I made the decision to begin working towards my doula certification, something I had been wanting to do ever since experiencing the incredible love and support of my own doulas during my births."
This Collective is something we have wanted for a long time, a place to come together, work together and help support women and families in Atlanta while they are building their families. We are just getting started and are so happy you've decided to join us on our journey.

The key arguments supporting the use of combination therapy with checkpoint blockade immunotherapies as the standard of care for treating metastatic melanoma arise from the combination’s high disease control rates; rapid deep responses; improved response rates; longer progression-free survival (PFS); and good estimated overall survival (OS), approaching 70% at 3 years, said Steven J. O’Day, MD, Professor of Medical Oncology, John Wayne Cancer Institute at Providence Saint John’s Health Center, Santa Monica, CA, at the recent HemOnc Today Melanoma and Cutaneous Malignancies meeting.
The new systemic immunotherapies produce durable tumor responses, early disease control, and symptom management. In addition, they offer patients time without symptoms or treatment and often long-term survival. Conversely, traditional cell-directed therapies are characterized by short responses with little impact on survival, Dr O’Day noted.
The newer PD-1–blocking antibodies, such as nivolumab (Opdivo) and pembrolizumab (Keytruda), have demonstrated higher response rates than ipilimumab (Yervoy), the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 blockade agent that was the first in decades to show an OS benefit in patients with advanced melanoma.
The objective response rates in the phase 3 clinical trial CheckMate-067 were 19% with ipilimumab, 44% with nivolumab, and 58% with nivolumab plus ipilimumab. Complete responses were 2.2% with ipilimumab, 8.9% with nivolumab, and 11.5% with nivolumab plus ipilimumab. Similarly, the median PFS was 2.9 months with ipilimumab, 6.9 months with nivolumab, and 11.5 months with nivolumab plus ipilimumab.
However, the favorable response rates and survival data associated with nivolumab plus ipilimumab come with increased grade 3 or 4 adverse events, with 27.3% and 16.3% rates for ipilimumab and nivolumab, respectively, compared with 55% for nivolumab plus ipilimumab. No treatment-related deaths were reported with nivolumab plus ipilimumab.
“If patients are educated and prepared for side effects and communicate about them rapidly, early intervention reverses almost all of them,” Dr O’Day said. Although adverse events led to treatment discontinuation in 29.4% of patients who received nivolumab plus ipilimumab, the objective response rate was nearly 70% in patients who discontinued the combination therapy. “Those responses are still durable, so with coming off therapy, while it shortens treatment, the opportunity for long-term survival is still there,” Dr O’Day said.
High Toxicity Remains a Concern
Jeffrey S. Weber, MD, PhD, Deputy Director, Perlmutter Cancer Center, NYU Langone Medical Center, focused on the high toxicities associated with the combination of nivolumab plus ipilimumab. “You can talk about a zero death rate in a very tightly controlled, well put together randomized phase 3 trial, but when it comes to treatment in the community, where physicians have less experience, it’s going to be a different scenario.”
Dr Weber also said that roughly 40% of patients with melanoma with PD-1 ligand 1 tumors with an “inflammatory signature” are likely to benefit from PD-1 abrogation alone, with little need for adding ipilimumab.
“The toxicity of combination therapy suggests that those over 75-80 years of age or with significant comorbidities should be treated with single-agent PD-1 or a PD-1 combination other than ipilimumab,” he added.
Dr Weber noted that among patients who cannot tolerate combination therapy, but who can receive single-agent nivolumab or pembrolizumab, are patients with previous grade 3 or 4 ipilimumab-related adverse events, and patients with previous allografts or with a history of hepatitis or controlled HIV infection.
Dr Weber suggested that patients with BRAF mutation melanoma with low-to-normal lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels will likely respond as well to targeted BRAF plus MEK inhibitors, such as dabrafenib and trametinib, as they will to ipilimumab plus nivolumab, with a 30% plateau in OS. Combination therapy with BRAF plus MEK inhibitors is considerably less toxic than ipilimumab plus nivolumab combined.
For patients with BRAF mutation melanoma and with high LDH levels, a brief induction with BRAF plus MEK inhibitors followed by ipilimumab plus nivolumab may be preferred, because the BRAF plus MEK combination induces a T-cell influx into tumors, and converts a “cold” tumor to a responsive “warm” tumor.
Dr Weber said that an early-phase study with pembrolizumab and an indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase inhibitor demonstrated a 53% objective response rate, similar to nivolumab plus ipilimumab, but with significantly less toxicity. “Therefore, ipilimumab plus nivolumab combination therapy is not indicated for all metastatic melanoma patients,” he concluded.
“I completely agree with Dr Weber that the combinations with ipilimumab should be given through experienced hands. There needs to be a big commitment from the patient and the family to communicate information about side effects,” Dr O’Day said in an interview.
Although the pituitary cases (hypophysitis) typically require lifelong replacement therapy, which is a hassle for patients, the more important colitis and liver toxicities are generally reversible.
Combinations of a PD-1 agent with ipilimumab at lower doses, or with a third intralesional therapy, such as talimogene laherparepvec (Imlygic), may also prove successful for patients with metastatic melanoma, Dr O’Day said.

The second the last bell is rung, the last assignment has been submitted, or the last zoom class has been held, we know that summer is coming in full swing. We sit all year waiting for June to roll around; as we wait for the May showers to end, we know that the next month brings with it a plethora of flurry – vacation, relaxation, excitement. However, simply because the schooling has taken a pause, shouldn’t entail our learning does. Aside from summer vacation, June holds a momentous and imperative place within the year as ‘Pride Month,’ dedicated to celebrating the LGBTQ+ community, and commemorating the battles and struggles that were experienced in order to arrive to this present.
While the Stonewall Riots were not the first occasion in which the LGBTQ+ community protested for their rights, against the constant harassment faced by the police, it was this vital and infamous isolated instance that can be considered the starting point of Pride as we know it today. On June 28, 1969 Greenwich Village, New York City, a gay club known as Stonewall Inn faced a raid. While the years up until the 1970s were not considered the most open and welcoming for the community, gay bars and clubs were considered to be a safe space; the life, fashion, behaviors, and activities were typically pushed underground where such socialization wouldn’t face the pressures or descriminations of the surrounding social society. As such, the 1960s was common for police intimidation, but mafia owned Stonewall Inn, mostly managed to avoid the trouble, getting tips by corrupted cops before police raided nights. June 28th however, came as a surprise when the institutional and ‘secretive’ Stonewall Inn was raided, prompting a riot from both the bar patrons as well as the surrounding neighbors. As it bled into the week, protests at Stonewall Inn lasted for six more nights, creating headlines and garnering support. The Stonewall Riots, though not the beginning of the gay rights movement, was a catalyst force that has marked the history books, fostering the growth of movement, and further support for the LGBTQ+ community, the following year in 1970, seeing a march on Manhattan in celebration and defiance. This was the first gay pride parade, setting the precedent for years to come.
Fast forwarding to today, 2021, 41 years later, its safe to say the gay rights movement has come a long way, but simply not enough. While a plethora of anti-gay laws have been overturned, many that were utilized within the Stonewall riots, in which solicitation of same-sex relations was illegal in New York City, as well as ‘cross-dressing’ as they once called it, there still remains a stigma and a stereotype that seeps through society at all levels, including governmental. The legalization of gay marriage in the United States in June of 2015 was considered a momentous occasion, but only a stepping stone (granted a major one) in the continuing battle, as the United States (along with many other countries) continue to find ways to oppose the LGBTQ+ community, in conservative’s attempts in passing anti-gay legislation. While using the United States as a prime example, the rest of the globe similarly faces these harrowing conversations and further steps towards change. While the month of June may be one of summer enjoyment, it will always be one for celebration of the LGBTQ+ movement’s accomplishments, as well as a call to action for continuing work and support to further these rights.

Tampa began to boom with the arrival of Henry Plant’s railroad in 1884 and his Tampa Bay Hotel (now the cornerstone of the University of Tampa) in 1891. In 1897, pastor Fr. William Tyrrell, S.J. announced that a new church would be built. Ground was broken for our present church on February 16, 1898. The beautiful new structure was dedicated on January 15, 1905, and its name and that of the parish became Sacred Heart.
The Jesuits built the church - at a cost of $300,000 - and named it Sacred Heart. Today the building looks strikingly similar to the original, which was dedicated and opened January 15, 1905. The Romanesque architecture remains. The exterior is a combination of granite and white marble. Inside, most of the design is just as it was a century ago.
The church has 70 stained glass windows, but the 17 vertical windows lining the nave, anchoring each side of the transept and rimming the apse, are the most dramatic. All were made in the late 1800s by Franz Mayer Co. of Munich, Germany, which is still in business.
The Resurrection Window on the left side of the transept (the part of the church representing the arms of the cross) is a triptych, with three panels. Like the other major windows at Sacred Heart, it tells a story.
The center panel presents the risen Christ, triumphant over death. He floats over the tomb, carrying a heavenly banner, his right hand raised in a benediction. An angel alights beneath him, gazing at the stunned soldiers who guarded his tomb.
The two smaller panels record incidents preceding this apotheosis, one of the Virgin Mary in blue, with Mary Magdalene and Martha approaching the tomb, and the other of two soldiers fleeing as it opens.

text: Abbeville, the seat of Vermilion Parish, is situated in Vermilion Bayou, 65 miles southwest of Baton Rouge. A French priest named Father A. D. Megret bought land at this site in 1843 and laid the plans for Abbeville. It was settled by Acadians, descendants of settlers who had been forced out of Canada by the British. They created a town with the design of a French village, centered around Magdalen Square. Saint Mary Magdalen Catholic Church faces the square, a successor to the first church built in 1845. Abbeville was incorporated in 1850. The Vermilion Historical Society maintains the Alliance Museum, dedicated to the history of Vermilion Parish. Steen's Cane Syrup Mill on Main Street has been a family tradition in Abbeville since 1910. The historic Vermilion parish courthouse is another landmark. The Acadian Museum in Erath, seven miles east of Vermilion, details the history of the Acadians, now generally known as Cajuns. Abbeville has as campus of Louisiana Technical College. The closest regular community college is South Louisiana Community College in Lafayette, twelve miles away.

4-20 ma Signal in Industrial Instrumentation
Signal Flow from Instrument to Controller (PLC/DCS/Stand alone controller) -
A physical signal(Temperature / Pressure / Level / Flow etc) measured by a sensor is converted to an electrical signal by a transducer. These signals are non standard signals. These non standard signals are converted to a standard signal by a Transmitter. These standard signals are fed to processor (PLC / DCS / Stand alone controller ).
Different type of standard signals are used in Industrial Instrumentation . 4-20 ma,0-5 VDC, 1-5 VDC.
PLC/DCS use analog to digital converter to convert voltage signal to digital numbers which are understandably by CPU.
The measuring device has 250 ohm resistor. As for current signals,they are converted to voltage signals like this
4 ma * 250 ohm = 1 v 20ms * 250 ohm = 5v
The converted 1 -5 vdc will go to analog digital converter.
Why 4 ma is used instead of 0 ma and why 20 ma is used?
If instrument is faulty,it can be easily identified. If the output is 0 ma it will be difficult to identify whether it is a faulty signal or a good signal.For error detection 4 ma is good.
20 ma is used as maximum because the human heart can withstand up to 30 ma of current only. For safety reason 20 ma chosen as maximum value.
Scaling of 4-20 ma is easy.
4 ma = 0 % 8 ma = 25% 12 ma = 50% 16 ma = 75% 20 ma = 100%
What are the advantages 4-20 ma signal comparing to voltage signals (0-5v ,1-5v) ?
1.Voltage Drop - Very long cables have resistance and that will cause a voltage drop. The voltage drop will affect the reading. Current signal doesn’t have this problem.
2.Electromagnetic interference - Current signals are immune to electromagnetic interference.
How to calculate percentage signal corresponding to ma signal ?
MV - Measured Value LRV - Low range Value Span = 20 ma - 4 ma = 16 ma.
Formula to calculate percentage signal
(MV - LRV) / Span * 100 %
Calculate percentage value corresponding to 14.98 ma.
(14.98 - 4 ) / 16 * 100 % = 68.6 %

Un burger suisse, tout-garni
It is a quarter to one on a balmy Friday night in Montréal. I find myself walking along avenue du Mont Royal, past our old apartment, holding two rolls of raffle entry tickets. For old time’s sake, and for the unusually large quantity of fluids in my stomach, I stop by at my favourite diner, the Mont Royal Hot Dog. The Hot Dog has been a sympathetic backdrop to many of the simple but enjoyable nights out I have enjoyed this year. Even in this heat, I cannot go inside without remembering the nights when we escaped the minus twenty temperatures to order a big plate of poutine.
It is too nice an evening, so I’m not stopping here tonight. I order a ‘Swiss’ chesse burger and continue on my way. I know of the perfect bench on which to stop and enjoy my late night treat. Between the streets of Berri, Pontiac, Mont Royal Est and de Bienville is a small park. When I walk here with guests or friends I always describe this tranquil square as the place I would like to like to live one day (above all the other similar promises that I make in this city). The houses range from single storey cottages to three storey town houses, some of which are old shops with big plate-glass windows that face the pavements. There’s a small pedestrianised strip at the north end of the square, with three simple benches; most of the park is occupied with a fenced in children’s play area, which is officially ‘closed’ from midnight to six o’clock in the morning to dissaude any disreputable activity from taking place.
This is an exceptionally romantic city. It is romantic not just for lovers, but also for solitary individuals. Here, sitting on a silent park bench in a wordless city square, I am quite content. The burger is very good, the temperature seems to have eased, and all noises of the traffic on the near-by Mont Royal and St. Denis are muted and distant. In all the places I have travelled, I have not found such a perfect residential district as this one. There is a pefect balance between these tree-lined side streets and the exceptionally tranquil ‘ruelles’ that run between them. On the streets around me, the little houses and the neatly stacked apartments with their traditional external staircases present elegant but modest elevations to the street. The sidewalks are broad and clean; there is room for parking on both sides of the street and a wide lane for single-direction traffic. Cars normally travel at about 40km/h; this is an exceptionally pedestrian-friendly place to live. Trees shade the streets in the summer, and green recycling boxes wait on the kerb for their weekly moment of emptying.
I have had a few moments of helpless panic this week, as I look to the calendar, and my last full week at work in Montréal. There is so much I have not done, so many cafés and diners I have now patronised, and so many parks like this that I have not spent time in. When I had the time to do these things, of course, I did not have the money.
Still, a swiss cheese burger on a park bench at 01h00 goes a long way to calming my pre-departure nerves. It would be nice to pass one more quiet weekend in Montréal. However as usual, there’s something much more exciting that will be happening…

The question is, was he on official business or was he just being "suspicious?"
Daily Herald: Secret Service agent triggered scare aboard Metra train
By Marni Pyke | Daily Herald Staff
A U.S. Secret Service agent apparently triggered a false alarm this morning that delayed thousands of suburban Metra commuters.
Metra spokeswoman Judy Pardonnet said the Secret Service agent was preparing to board the train at Naperville's Fifth Avenue station when he told the ticket agent he was carrying a gun and asked if there were metal detectors on the system.
He did not provide the ticket agent with any identification. She alerted police.
Chicago Tribune: Secret Service agent was 'suspicious' Metra rider
The suspicious person who forced an unscheduled stop for a Metra train this morning and a search of its passengers was a U.S. Secret Service agent, a source close to the situation told the Tribune.
The agent has been identified by police, the source said, who said there had been some "confusion" on the part of the ticket agent whose report sparked a nearly two-hour delay on Metra's BNSL Line.
The incident stopped train service in the western suburbs this morning as police armed with semiautomatic rifles evacuated and searched train passengers at the Lisle station.
Chicago Sun-Times: West suburban Metra trains running again after morning security delays
January 14, 2009
FROM STNG WIRE REPORTS
Thousands of Metra passengers had their morning commutes delayed for up to two hours Wednesday morning as police investigated reports of a suspicious man who may have been on a west suburban train.
Just before 8 a.m. Wednesday a suspicious person was hanging around the main Naperville train station at 105 4th Ave. and, according to a ticket agent at the station, asking "unusual questions relating to security," Naperville police Cmdr. Dave Hoffman said.
The ticket agent was unsure whether the man left the station on foot or got on a train. The train he would have gotten on was Metra Burlington Northern Santa Fe train No. 1252. When that train got to Lisle, it was stopped and police have been looking for the man.

This is going to be a very short and sweet overview of this particular release based on the fact that I just can't get past the Pete Rock Remix. There's not a bad version on this CD, and there really isn't a lot to chose from between the remaining three mixes, but, trust me, head straight for the Pete Rock version. Why would you need anything else??
Here's some more info on our talented songstress: Monica Denise Arnold (born October 24, 1980), professionally known as Monica, is an American R&B singer, songwriter, and occasional actress. Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Arnold was a member of Charles Thompson and the Majestics, a traveling 12-piece gospel choir prior to signing a solo recording contract with Arista Records in 1995, at the tender age of just 15.
In 1991, Monica was discovered by music producer Dallas Austin at the Center Stage auditorium in Atlanta performing Whitney Houston 1986’s Greatest Love of All. Amazed by her voice, Dallas offered her a record deal with his Arista Records-distributed label Rowdy Records and consulted rapper Queen Latifah to work as Monica’s first manager. Shortly afterwards Dallas and then staff producers Tim & Bob entered the studio with Monica to start writing and producing her debut Miss Thang which was eventually released in July 1995 and scored number thirty-six on the U.S. Billboard 200 and number seven on the Top R&B Albums chart. It was certified triple platinum by the RIAA for more than three million store-shipped copies and produced three top ten singles, including debut single Don’t Take It Personal (Just One Of Dem Days) and Before You Walk Out Of My Life both of which made Monica the youngest artist ever to have two consecutive chart-topping hits on the U.S. Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart. Miss Thang subsequently won Monica a Billboard Music Award and garnered her an American Music Award nomination in the Favorite Soul/R&B New Artist category.

Hello everyone! It’s Mark Zoch from The Dinner Dude here. If you’ve been following my culinary journey, you already know how much I love experimenting with flavors. Today, I’m thrilled to share with you one of my personal favorites: Hummus with Tahini Sauce and mint scent . This delightful concoction is not just a side dish; it’s a symphony of flavors that will jolt your taste buds awake and leave them begging for more.
Hummus with tahini sauce and mint scent recipe
Hummus with tahini sauce and mint scent
- 300 gr of already boiled chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- The juice of half a lemon
- 2 tablespoons of tahini sauce
- Salt to taste
- Sesame and poppy seeds
- 2 -3 fresh mint leaves
- 100 gr of sesame seeds (better if already toasted)
- 30 gr of sesame oil
- Place the chickpeas in a mixer, add the tahini sauce, a pinch of salt, olive oil and lemon juice and mix it till it gets to a creamy, smooth and homogeneous sauce.
- Serve it garnished with toasted sesame seeds, some poppy seeds, fresh mint and olive oil, accompanied by white pizza (with nothing on top, only pasta), arabic bread, Pita but also simply crackers.
- If you have not roasted sesame seeds, place them in a non-stick pan and let them toast, stirring constantly until they have reached a nice golden color. Let them cool. You can also toast the seeds in the oven at 180°C for 4 - 5 minutes.
- Blend the sesame seeds until you get a fine powder, if you have a mortar use that. Add the sesame oil and blend or mix until you get a thick and creamy sauce.

Exploring Different Kitchen Tools with Hummus, Tahini Sauce, and Mint Scent
The beauty of hummus with tahini sauce and mint scent is its versatility. Not only can it be served in various ways, but it can also be prepared using different kitchen tools. Let’s dive into some alternative methods.
Slow Cooker Hummus
Yes, you can make hummus in a slow cooker! This method is perfect for those who prefer a hands-off approach. Simply add your chickpeas, tahini, and other ingredients to the slow cooker and let it do its magic. Once everything is soft and well-cooked, blend it until smooth, then stir in your fresh mint leaves for that refreshing scent.
Stand Mixer Hummus
If you have a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, you can use it to make your hummus. The constant, even mixing results in a beautifully smooth texture. Just like with the traditional method, add your ingredients to the mixer bowl and let the machine work until you achieve your desired consistency. Don’t forget to add your fresh mint at the end!
For those who don’t have a food processor or a stand mixer, a hand blender (also known as an immersion blender) can come to the rescue. It might require a bit more effort, but you can achieve a creamy, smooth hummus with this tool. Blend your ingredients in a deep bowl or pot until smooth, then stir in your fresh mint leaves.
Tips for making Hummus with tahini sauce and mint scent
The beauty of hummus with tahini sauce and mint scent lies in its simplicity. But as with any recipe, there are several tips and tricks that can elevate your hummus game to a whole new level.
- Quality Ingredients: Always prioritize quality over anything else. Use fresh mint leaves, high-quality tahini, and chickpeas. The quality of your ingredients directly translates into the taste of your hummus.
- Smoothness: For a velvety-smooth hummus, skin the chickpeas before blending them. It might seem tedious, but trust me, it’s worth the extra effort.
- Balance: Achieving a perfect balance between the ingredients is crucial. You don’t want the tahini or mint overpowering the humble chickpea.
Now, let’s talk about serving this beautiful creation. Hummus with tahini sauce and mint scent is incredibly versatile. It pairs perfectly with warm pita bread, fresh vegetables, or even as a spread on your favorite sandwich. For an extra kick, sprinkle some chili flakes or drizzle a bit of olive oil on top before serving.
- Can I use canned chickpeas? Absolutely! Canned chickpeas are a great time-saver. Just make sure to rinse them thoroughly before using.
- How long does the hummus last? If stored in an airtight container in the fridge, it should keep for about a week.
- Can I freeze hummus? Yes, you can. However, I wouldn’t recommend it as freezing might affect the texture of the hummus.
- What if I don’t have tahini? While tahini adds a unique flavor to the hummus, you can substitute it with any other nut butter.
- Can I use dried mint instead of fresh mint? Fresh mint is preferable for its vibrant flavor, but dried mint can be used in a pinch.
I hope you enjoy making (and eating) this hummus with tahini sauce and mint scent as much as I do. Remember, cooking is all about having fun and experimenting, so feel free to tweak this recipe to suit your taste. Happy cooking!

Spring 2014 Baseball: PSU Wilkes Barre
April 9, 2014
Kyle Fox recorded the win in game one
WILLIAMSPORT – Junior Zachary Weil went 3 for 6 with two runs and two RBI to lead the Pennsylvania College of Technology baseball team in its sweep of Penn State Wilkes-Barre Wednesday. The Wildcats trailed in both games as Wilkes-Barre capitalized on some errors and clutch hitting. Senior Joshua Longsderff (Columbia) and freshman Kyle Fox (Fleetwood) each recorded a win on the mound. With the victories, Penn College improves to 12-7 overall and 6-2 in the Penn State University Athletic Conference.
In the opener, Wilkes-Barre put up a run in the first but the Wildcats countered in the bottom of the inning with three runs including a two-RBI double from Weil. Senior Cody Buterbaugh (Conestoga) made it 4-1 the next inning hitting an RBI sac fly.
Weil ended the game 2 for 4 with a run along with his RBI.
Freshman Cole Weachock hit an RBI single in the third and Cody Buterbaugh tacked on another RBI in the fourth making it a 6-1 game.
Cody Buterbaugh ended the game 2 for 2 with a run and two RBI.
The Lions made it 6-2 in the fifth scoring on a two-out error from Penn College and plated another in the sixth to cut the lead in half. Junior John Rodriguez-McKeon (Stroudsburg) came in for starter Fox in the seventh. He allowed a two-run home run with two outs to bring the score to 6-5 but got out the jam with a ground out.
Fox recorded the win going six innings allowing two earned runs off of six hits while striking out two.
As a team, the Wildcats totaled 11 hits to Wilkes-Barre’s seven. Sophomore Jeremy Rall (Williamsport) racked up two hits and run.
In game two, after three scoreless innings, Wilkes-Barre capitalized on an error to score a run and take the 1-0 lead. They held it until the bottom of the fifth when junior James Scully (Middletown, Del.) pulled off a suicide squeeze with the bases loaded. Two batters later, junior
Zachary Buterbaugh (Conestoga) recorded an RBI off of a hit-by-pitch with the bases loaded.
The Wildcats tacked on an insurance run in the sixth when freshman Evan Vigna (McAdoo) grounded out to bring in Cody Buterbaugh. Zachary Buterbaugh recorded the save with a strikeout and two ground outs in the seventh.
Penn College had four pitchers in the game, with junior starter Matthew Demilio (Greensburg) allowing the only run, unearned, in the game for the Lions. He pitched two innings and added two strikeouts with junior Tyler Cooklin (Rippey, Iowa) pitching two scoreless with three strikeouts.
Longsderff pitched the fifth and sixth allowing only a hit with four strikeouts for the win.
Offense was a struggle in the game as the Wildcats could only muster three hits to Wilkes-Barre’s eight.
Next up, Penn College travels to Penn State York on Saturday, Apr. 12 for a 2 p.m. doubleheader.

ST. GEORGE — A three-vehicle pileup occurred on Bluff Street Thursday afternoon after police say a driver took his eyes off the road.
St. George Police responded to the collision involving a dark blue Toyota Camry, a light blue Toyota Scion and a black Pontiac Vibe on southbound Bluff Street in an area of heavy construction near 600 North at approximately 2:45 p.m.
As traffic was slowing down ahead of a traffic signal, the driver of the Camry looked at something his passenger was holding, St. George Police officer Andy Mickelson said.
As the driver of the Camry looked back at the road, Mickelson said, he noticed the stopped traffic and tried to hit his brakes but ended up hitting the Scion, which was pushed into the Pontiac.
One person complained of a minor head injury, Mickelson said. No other injuries were reported.
The Camry sustained heavy front-end damage and had to be towed away. The Scion and Pontiac sustained minimal damage and were driven from the scene.
The already-congested traffic in the area was further slowed for southbound drivers behind the crash as police directed motorists around the wreckage.
The driver of the Camry was issued a citation for following too close.
Mickelson said it’s extremely important to keep a safe following distance, especially in a construction zone with heavy traffic.
“When you’re doing 30 mph, you should realistically be close to 100 feet back,” Mickelson said. “100 feet doesn’t sound like a lot, but it’s enough to give you some reaction time.”
“When you’re in a construction zone, there are workers and a lot of cars,” he added. “Keep a safe following distance and keep your eyes on the road. Don’t worry about anything else that’s going on in your car.”
Emergency personnel from St. George Fire Department also responded to the crash.
This report is based on preliminary information provided by law enforcement and may not contain the full scope of findings.

Taylor Swift Leads Billboard Artist 100; Wiz Khalifa & Charlie Puth Surge
Swift scores her record 21st week at No. 1, while Khalifa & Puth make moves thanks to their fast-rising "Furious 7" soundtrack hit "See You Again."
Taylor Swift tallies a record-extending 21st week at No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100 (dated April 18). Meanwhile, Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth make big gains as their "See You Again," from the Furious 7 soundtrack, rockets into the Billboard Hot 100's top 10.
The Artist 100 is the first weekly survey dedicated to measuring artist activity across Billboard's most influential charts, including the Hot 100 songs chart, Top Album Sales and the Social 50. The Artist 100 blends data measuring album and track sales, radio airplay, streaming and social media fan interaction to provide a weekly multi-dimensional ranking of artist popularity.
With a 1 percent gain in activity, Swift notches her latest week as the top act in the U.S. Maroon 5 rises 3-2, followed in the top five by Ed Sheeran (4-3), Sam Smith (6-4) and Drake (5-5).
Among other notable Artist 100 action, rapper Khalifa and pop singer/songwriter Puth (featured on "Again") bound 62-23 and debut at No. 95, respectively, with digital song sales marking the majority of both acts' Artist 100 action. The track soars 84-10 on the Hot 100, fueled by massive interest in Furious 7 (and with the song's streaming totals set to surge more following the April 6 premiere of the Paul Walker-tribute "Again" video). The cut blasts 42-1 on Digital Songs, up by 488 percent to 168,000 downloads sold in the week ending April 5, according to Nielsen Music. With the coronation, Puth scores his first No. 1 on a Billboard chart.
Earlier this year, Puth, 23, made inroads with his single "Marvin Gaye," which features Meghan Trainor. (The track reached No. 42 on Pop Digital Songs in February.) He recently told Billboard that upon playing the song for Trainor at a party, she liked it so much that she quickly offered to sing with him on it. They've since teamed further: He stars in the video for her new single "Dear Future Husband" (which reaches the Hot 100's top 40, climbing 55-39) and will open for her on her upcoming MTrain Tour.
As for the success of "Again," "It's crazy," Puth says. "I didn't expect it to grow so quickly. I really love that people love it."


NORTH MUSKEGON -- Muskegon Environmental Research & Education Society, which developed and operates the Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve is raising money for the next stage of development: purchase of land for parking and construction of an education center.
The nonprofit group has started a fund-raising campaign to buy a parcel of land in front of the 15-acre nature preserve.
Visitors already park on the land, but only with the "good graces" of the current owner, according to MERES spokesman Ron Brown, retired president of the society.
Purchase of the property would give the society control of the land and would provide space for development of a small education center.
Brown said the land is expected to cost $365,000, with construction of a building of about 1,000 square feet possibly $400,000 additional. He said one donor has already given $50,000, and the society plans to approach area foundations for much of the rest.
The planned education center would have a combination classroom/meeting room, a kitchen, an office and an area for environmental exhibits, Brown said.
"The Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve services area schools as their own environmental laboratory," said MERES President Steve Coverly. "The addition of an educational center will dramatically enhance that experience."
The educational program is coordinated by Alyssa Merten of the Muskegon Conservation District. Classes are held each spring and fall for hundreds of students.
The preserve, which borders the North Muskegon shore at the northeast corner of Muskegon Lake, includes biking and walking trails and fishing spots. It's been under development for 13 years.

The Marysville City Council on Monday night approved changes to the city's animal code that now sets the maximum number of chickens that can be kept on residential properties that are less than an acre. The ordinance also stipulates that shelters and other enclosures for chickens would need to remain in the back yard, be maintained in good condition and free of bad odors, and be located a minimum of 20 feet from neighboring homes. Roosters are prohibited on lots that are less than an acre.
"For the record I think it's a pretty good motion," Councilman Jeff Vaughan said. "There's one part of it I don't like ... that's on the number of chickens."
Before the meeting the city had no limits on how many chickens could be raised in residential neighborhoods.
The only guidelines for chickens before the 4-3 council decision were that pens and coops be kept clean and set back 100 feet from the property lines. The city's planning commission recommended a maximum of 12 chickens, and that chicken enclosures be set back at least 15 feet from property lines.
Council members Vaughan, Rob Toyer and Donna Wright voted against the amended ordinance, stating that they would prefer allowing a maximum of 12 chickens for residential properties.

Referral to a Specialist
Dr. Lyford will recommend referral to a specialist when he thinks the patient is better served in a specialist’s office. Oral surgeons, periodontists, endodontists, and orthodontists are often recommended to complete the required treatment. With few exceptions, referral to a specialist is accomplished formally via written letter by Dr. Lyford to the specialist.
After consulting with you Dr. Lyford will outline a letter of referral to the specialist introducing you, relating any significant medical history, recent dental history, immediate concerns as well as any relevant radiographs or other clinical records that will help in diagnosis. A copy will also be sent to you with a hand written note asking that you now contact the specialist for a consultation.
This format will ensure that time is used wisely, communication is clear, and you are better served. Indeed, after your consultation with the specialist you may have questions for Dr. Lyford; therefore, we encourage you to call the office for discussion. This has been both our philosophy and policy and has resulted in better care and more effective service for our patients.

Ange Postecoglou's pursuit of depth for his Socceroo squad will continue on Thursday night when a number of younger players and fresh faces can expect to see action, some for the first time in a Socceroo shirt.
Striker Apostolos Giannou, whom Postecoglou travelled to Greece to persuade that his international future lies with the country where he grew up, is tipped to make a debut while youngsters Alex Gersbach, Chris Ikonomidis, Jason Geria and Brad Smith will hope to be involved in the World Cup qualifier against Tajikistan at Adelaide Oval.
Postecoglou is looking to build Australia's stocks in the striking and fullback positions in particular, but he has put his entire squad on notice that no one can take their position for granted.
"I am pleased that there are some youngsters putting their hands up. Our job is to make sure that door is open always to give them an opportunity ... how rosy the future is for them will be is up to them and how they take that opportunity.
"It's up to these young guys now to come in and literally make the position their own. They have got to be that ambitious. There's no point in them just coming in and wanting to be a part of it and happy to be a part of it.
"They have got to come in and say, 'I want to start and I want to be the best in my position that this country has ever seen'. If they have that sort of attitude then the future will be healthy."
"I have consistently said to them [the players], you don't sign a contract with your country for 10 years to play, every time you are selected its for those games, that's it. There are no guarantees beyond that apart from your own performance and the way you present yourself.
"I don't think anyone should go round thinking they have a right to an Australian shirt for any length of time beyond what they are selected for."
Giannou is a tall front man whose best asset is his ability to run the lines and present a mobile target in forward areas. The 26-year-old recently left Greece to move to China but with Australia's striking stocks still reliant on veteran Tim Cahill, Giannou gets a real opportunity to impress against Tajikistan and Jordan in Sydney next week.
Postecoglou is pleased to regain the services of Robbie Kruse. The German-based wide man arrived in Adelaide on Tuesday night, so the coach may be tempted to give him more rest time and use him fresh in the second of the two matches.
Australia beat the Tajiks 3-0 in Dushanbe last September, having been kept goalless in the first half on an artificial surface in the Tajik capital.
Postecoglou is expecting a similar obstinate display on Thursday, with the Tajiks defending to try to keep Australia at bay and sneak a point.
"We have to dictate the tempo of the game. We are Asian champions now, its a target on your back, it would be a great scalp for a country like Tajikistan.They really raise their levels to play against us."
Tajik coach Mubin Ergashev said that securing a draw would be a dream result. He has brought a number of younger players on this trip to give them experience for the future, when Tajikistan's main aim is to qualify for the next Asian Cup. Ergashev has dropped Fatkhullo Fatkhuloev, the country's most capped player, as he was not deemed fit.
The coach says this game is a wonderful opportunity for his players to try and impress a wider audience. A new sports channel in Tajikistan means that half the country will be watching the game live. For the players it is a chance to perform in front of Australian agents and A-League clubs and persuade them that they might be worth a contract for next season.
