Our Goat's Milk Soap Ingredients and why we Chose Them
As you may know, skin is the bodys' largest organ. It absorbs everything you put on it, especially when you are taking a warm bath or shower, this is when your pores are open/enlarged and more likely to take in what's on your skin.
Artificial and chemical ingredients can cause skin issues and bad reactions. Some ingredients used as preservatives such as Parabens might even be linked to breast cancer.
I like to say, "if you can't put it in your body, it shouldn't go on your skin either". Now, this doesn't really apply to everything, I mean, I really don't like to eat lipstick or blush, but it's nice to know that it wouldn't harm me if I accidentally ingested some.
Our Ingredients and Why we Chose Them
First and foremost, Goat's milk is amazing and years ago, I never ever thought that I would be spreading the word and promoting this white creamy beverage as something to put on your skin.
Goat's milk is delicious and loaded with vitamins, minerals, complete protein, essential fats, pre-biotics and so much more, so why wouldn't it be good for your skin too? It's amazing!
Let's take a look at all the ingredients we use and a quick list of their benefits for the skin:
Raw Goat's Milk: We use only raw goat's milk in our soaps as well as for drinking, making butter, cream and cheese here on the farm, why? Because raw milk contains all of the friendly bacteria and enzymes that are vital for gut health and also benefit the skin's health and the microbiome in so many ways.
Pasteurization of milk will kill off most of these benefits and also give it a nasty smell (if you did a side by side comparison sniff test with pasteurized and unpasteurized milk, it's a big difference, the raw milk smells sweet, fresh and clean while the pasteurized milk smells sour and tastes stale in my opinion) and that's why we make our soaps at very low temperatures (below 95f), to keep all of the ingredients viable. Otherwise, what's the point of using the raw milk?
Raw Milk Cultured Yogurt: This is an amazing addition to a soap as it will contain billions of live friendly bacteria and tons of benefits to the skin just as yogurt taken internally does, just don't eat your soap, it doesn't tastes very good. Side story: I actually did have a customer take a bite of one of my chocolate soaps thinking it was a sample of fudge. I'm sure she'll never recommend our fudge to anyone after that!
Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is just an all-around awesome oil. It has excellent skin cleansing properties, helps reduce or prevent acne, removes dirt and dead skin cells and helps to firm and tone the skin among other great benefits. Coconut oil also has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties without being harsh and killing off your little bacterial soldiers like hand sanitizers and antibacterial soaps can.
Sunflower oil: Now this one is a bit different as most people are used to cooking with this specific oil instead of putting it on their skin, but there's a few reasons we use it. Sunflower oil is rich in Vitamin A and Vitamin E which promotes skin health. These vitamins act as antioxidants. They help in regenerating damaged skin cells and getting rid of the acne causing bacteria. The oil is light and non-greasy and thus, it gets absorbed in the skin easily without clogging your pores.
ZERO Percent Water:
We use full fat, unaltered, raw goat's milk and/or raw goat's milk yogurt as the liquid portion in soap making. We will never add water or cheap fillers and you'll be able to tell the difference of our full milk soaps compared to one that is only a small percentage of milk.
Other Ingredients you Might Find in our Soaps:
Aside from our base ingredients, you will find that our colored and scented soaps have a few extra ingredients such as Rose Clay, Activated Charcoal, Organic Green tea Extract, Grapefruit extract, Organic Cacao, Moringa leaf powder, Kaolin Clay, Coconut Shreds, Colloidal Oatmeal, Vitamin E oil, Essential oils and herbal extracts that we make right here on our farm.
We chose only natural ingredients to color and scent our soaps to minimize skin reactions and toxins entering the bloodstream.
Our soaps are never tested on animals, after all, we're not selling them to animals, we are selling them to humans so we test them on other humans and get feedback from them as animals can't talk anyway and would never be able to tell us what their favorite scents and colors are!
*side note, we do wash our animals with our soaps because they are so mild and gentle.
OMG You Put Lye in Your Soap? Won't it Burn your Skin off?
A short lessen on Lye. Remember back in the old days when Grandma made her Lye soap and it kinda burned your skin and made you itchy, dry, and scratchy? Yeah, that's some harsh soap and it totally wasn't Grandmas fault either. She did the best she could eyeballing the amount of Lye she thought was right for her batch of soap. But guess what? Too much lye equals a harsh soap and Grandma didn't have it as easy as we do, we actually have scientific Lye calculators that help us determine how much lye to put in a batch that will saponify (turn into soap) all the various oils and fats based on their fatty acid profiles. Sounds pretty smart, right?
I can tell you that we always superfat our batches of soap, which means going over the recommended fats and oils to create a mild bar without the chance of any bit of lye being unsaponified (not turned into soap). This means that there is ZERO lye remaining in the final product.
Without Lye, you cannot make soap. Lye is what turns those fats and oils into soap, no matter what anyone says, it's not possible, we checked, I promise.
The only way you wouldn't have to use lye as an ingredient to make soap is if you used a soap base (which was made using lye) , then you can melt it down and add whatever other herbs, scents and additives to it, but we like to make our own from scratch to be sure we have control of what's going in it.
Things you won't find in our soaps:
Borax (sodium borate)
SLS (sodium laurel sulfate)
Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)
Synthetic perfumes and fragrances
Nothing weird or harmful
We hope that this article has been insightful and has helped you understand our ingredient list and why we use them. Enjoy our soaps!

BEHEMOTH is an entity or beast if you prefer, mentioned in Job 40:15-24. It was usually referred with the form of an elephant, hippopotamus or even rhinoceros. Nowadays describing something as a behemoth is to describe it as a massive, huge and powerful entity. Or…We are mentioning a death/black metal band from Poland.
BEHEMOTH were formed in 1991 and they played an important role in making this kind of music very popular and acceptable for bigger audiences. Until 1998 they released 3 studio albums playing traditional black metal (Sventevith, Grom, Pandemonic Incantations). Despite the “music label” they were stigmatized in the beginning, in their second album (Grom) they make use of female vocals, acoustic guitars and synthesizers. Then a contract came for 2 studio albums in the fall of 1998 with Avantgarde Music. Satanica is the first album with their new record label and also their first album mixing black and death metal. The result is truly amazing. The massive and intense drumming alongside with astonishing riffing and the chaotic vocals of Nergal surely makes Satanica something unique. Two tours followed the album supporting Deicide and Satyricon. Following the Satanica album, BEHEMOTH released Thelema.6 in 2000. Here they have made a step forward and put more of their influences in their music. Don’t misunderstood this, Thelema.6 is massive, gigantic or as the name of the creator describes…..BEHEMOTH!!! The release was followed by more appearances in festivals, extensive touring and their first headline tour with Carpathian Forest and Khold.
In 2002 and after almost a year of writing new material, producing and also touring ZosKiaCultus (Here And Beyond) was released. Chaotic and intense with unorthodox but yet amazing guitar parts and once more tremendous drumming Zos Kia Cultus was and still is a blacken death metal diamond. It was also the album that broke the US borders for BEHEMOTH touring as headliners and make Glenn Danzig to invite them in the Blackest Of The Black tour. Their seventh studio album Demigod was released in 2004 and it had very good response from the critics. A bit more influenced by oriental music forms but yet still another amazing blacken death metal blast!! Demigod was the album that Nergal started to appear with a strange mask on stage. From release to release the mask was different depended of the concept of the album alongside with the outfit of the band. After touring their asses off for once more time they released The Apostasy album in July of 2007 and by far it was their most diverse release ‘till then. Here we can hear also a guest appearance from Warrel Dane in the song “Inner Sanctum”.
In 2009 BEHEMOTH released their ninth studio album “Evangelion”. A truly masterpiece of its kind. Featuring surely some of their best lyrics, music, production and even outfit of the band. For once more they hit the road participating in some summer festivals and then touring in Poland in September 2009 and North America, Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and then again Europe. Unfortunately in August 2010 Nergal was rushed to hospital and was diagnosed with leukemia. Reports say that he was in such condition that chemotherapies wouldn’t do any good. As it turned out at the end he prove them all wrong. After a while a match bone marrow donor was found and the transplant went well. Also as a natural result BEHEMOTH forced to cancel all their upcoming shows and tours. Since the surgery it took Nergal 6 months to come to his previous physical condition.
The announcement for a new release was made on May 30th 2013. They also revealed the title of the album which was named The Satanist. Simple but yet very provocative. On February 3 2014 the album hit the stores. And it is by far their most complete work. More simple, still brutal and fast but in a more intellectual way. With heavy metal parts and a jazz shot, it revealed a more diverse face of the band. From there and for now BEHEMOTH are touring around the world unstoppable.
I think we can all agree that BEHEMOTH are not just another band. They have fanatic fans or haters. Nergal surely played a part in this with his very often provocative interview statements or life style of their headman or even with their live performance (Nergal used to rip off a Holy Bible on stage). Still their music brought the black/death or extreme metal if you like to a bigger fan base making them more popular. And on April 17th we will have a chance to live another unholy performance.

Eurostar, the operator of Channel Tunnel rail services between London, Paris and Brussels, warned yesterday that it expected passenger growth to fall by more than a half this year.
The train operator, which is jointly owned by British Airways, National Express and the state-owned French and Belgian railways, said that traffic numbers grew by only 3 per cent in the first six months of the year to 3.9 million while revenues increased by 5 per cent to £226m. This compared with passenger growth of 10 per cent and a revenue increase of 12 per cent in the same period last year.
David Azéma, chairman of Eurostar, blamed the first-half slowdown on the global economic downturn, rail strikes and the foot-and-mouth outbreak. He said he expected the growth rate in the second six months to be broadly the same as the first six.
Despite the slower growth, Mr Azéma said Eurostar was still on course to achieve a break-even point by the end of 2003. He also said that the service had increased its share of passengers on the London-Paris route by 2.2 percentage points to 63.5 per cent and its share of the London-Brussels route by 3.2 percentage points to 47 per cent.
Eurostar has about 80 per cent of the tourist market on the two routes to the Continent but a much smaller share of the business traveller market. However, Mr Azéma said that when the first phase of the high-speed Channel Tunnel Rail Link came into service in 2003, shaving 20 minutes off journey times, it would lift Eurostar's share of the all-important business market to above 50 per cent.
The company is also investing £35m on upgrades of its trains and terminal facilities at London Waterloo and Paris Gare du Nord, aimed largely at attracting more business-class passengers.Reuse content

Just days after Karrueche showed off her costume, RiRi turned up in the same exact look! Who do you think wore it better? VOTE.
Although Chris Brown isn’t having the best week that didn’t stop his girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, from getting into the Halloween spirit on Oct. 28! The 25-year-old dressed up as a gang member along with her friends, taking to Instagram to show off her get-up, which she captioned: “Chola.” While Kae’s look was definitely different, she wasn’t the only one to show off the style!
Rihanna’s Gang Costume On Halloween:
A few days after Karrueche debuted the get-up, RiRi rocked the same exact costume when she stepped out to celebrate in her native Barbados on Oct. 31. The songstress rocked a plaid shirt and khaki pants which she wore low to reveal the waistband of her boxers. Larger than life hoop earrings added to the ensemble. Just like Karrueche, the star couldn’t wait to show off her costume — and she took to Instagram to do just that, captioning the photos saying:”My chola name was #ShyGirl.”
Although these two gals aren’t the best of friends they clearly have a lot in common — and it isn’t just Chris Brown! We were actually surprised to see RiRi step up in the same exact look, especially since Karrueche did wear it first, however, we’re thinking Rihanna might not have even known what Karrueche dressed up as!
What do you think? Did Rihanna rock the costume better or do you think Kae’s look totally took the cake? Do you think RiRi was totally clueless or do you think she rocked the same look on purpose in an attempt to outshine here? Check them out & VOTE!

Is there a standard icon/text that should be used?
From an accessibility perspective, there is not an agreed upon standard for an icon. The suggestions in the other answers are all good ones. Just remember that a low-vision user might not see the icon you're using so make sure it has alternate text so a screen reader will announce it properly.
Does the normal view style have sufficient contrast according to WCAG 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum)? I'm hoping the answer is "yes" and that your high contrast view is trying to meet the AAA guideline of 1.4.6 Contrast (Enhanced).
If your normal view has low contrast and you're trying to satisfy WCAG 1.4.3 by having a style with increased contrast, just make sure that the mechanism you use to switch to high contrast has sufficient contrast itself. (That sounds a little confusing, but if your page has low contrast and you have a button to switch to higher contrast, make sure the button itself has sufficient contrast according to WCAG 1.4.3. That is, the color of the text on the button compared to the button's background color must have at least a 4.5:1 contrast ratio.)
An example of a high(er) contrast switch is on https://www.applause.com/, in the footer. They're using a switch, but you could just as easily have links between your two themes as you suggested. (Although I wouldn't use a literal link (<a>) because that conveys the wrong affordance. A "link" is an element used to navigate to another page [or somewhere else on the current page] and should not be used to perform an "action". A button is for "action".)
See also "G174: Providing a control with a sufficient contrast ratio that allows users to switch to a presentation that uses sufficient contrast". But one caveat with that recommendation, it talks about using an "alternative version" of a page as one possible solution. That is strongly discouraged by the accessibility community. Having a switch to a different theme, like you're trying to do, is a better solution.

"Exhibition at the Synagogue" Sejny Favorite Tip by evaanna
Sejny Favorites: 3 reviews and 11 photos
Favorite thing: When we entered the White Synagogue we were disappointed to see there was nothing in it, no Bima, no Aron-ha-Kodesh, just the empty walls and some electronic equipment, and it was dark too. Our guide told us there wasn't anything left there and I was about to leave when Chris, who had gone down the steep steps, called me. Reluctantly, I followed him and never regretted it. Hung on racks around the place were beautiful paintings by Mira Zelechower-Aksiun, pages from the 'calendar of memory' based on 'The Treaty on Mannequins', a collection of 13 stories by the Polish Jewish writer and artist, Bruno Schulz (1892-1942). The paintings reflected the 13 months of the Jewish calendar with their religious festivals, readings from the Torah and fragments of the author's writings. And they were like his prose - poetic, magical, dream-like, surrealist and so colourful. In a word, fantastic! Don't miss them wherever you might come across this exhibition, as I have been told it won't be there for much longer. And visiting Sejny don't miss the interior of the White Synagogue even if you have to go to the Borderland Centre first to be let in. You never know what might be on in there.
And if you have a chance to attend their performance of 'The Sejny Chronicles' (Kroniki Sejnenskie) directed by Bozena Szroeder, don't hesitate. It is said to be a wonderful performance, based on tales of the local people remembering the times when Sejny was a multicultural town and told by the local children. It has now been shown not only in Poland but also in Bosnia, Lithuania, Germany, Denmark and, this year, in New York. I do hope to see it some day too.

Seahawks notebook: Answers yet to come on Harvin
By Danny O’Neil
RENTON – It’s not a certainty that Seahawks receiver Percy Harvin will need surgery on his injured hip.
And even if he were to undergo surgery, that procedure might not necessarily be season-ending.
At least that’s how coach Pete Carroll summarized the situation on Saturday after practice.
Percy Harvin, shown here watching his fellow Seahawks receivers practice on Saturday, will get a second opinion on his injured hip next week in New York. (AP)
“He might be able to come back here in a couple weeks and be ready to go,” Carroll said. “There may be some procedure that needs to take place, and there’s a number of different ways that can happen, and the lengths of the recovery depend on what has to take place.”
That’s about as clear an answer as the coach could provide to the question that is hanging over the first week of training camp.
No one knows how the injury will be addressed. Not until Harvin receives a second opinion, which Carroll confirmed will take place in New York on Tuesday.
“There’s a whole array of situations that could occur,” Carroll said. “We have to wait and see.”
One scenario is the injury could be addressed with treatment, with Harvin not necessarily missing time. Carroll mentioned that safety Kam Chancellor played through a similar injury without undergoing surgery.
“We know there have been guys with a similar injury that have played,” Carroll said. “And there’s guys with a similar injury that don’t. It takes some time, takes some procedures and stuff.”
Harvin’s recovery from surgery would depend upon the type of procedure, and Carroll was very clear that if Harvin does in fact undergo surgery, that wouldn’t necessarily be season-ending.
Camp Carroll: Day 3 overview
|Pads:||Helmets, shoulder pads.|
|Duration:||2 hours, 15 minutes.|
|Not practicing:||FB Michael Robinson (ankle), LB Heath Farwell (back spasms) and DL Jesse Williams (knee). WR Sidney Rice rested the second half of practice.||PUP:||WR Percy Harvin, TE Zach Miller, DE Chris Clemons, DL Greg Scruggs, CB Tharold Simon, RB Robert Turbin.||Non-football Injury list:||LB Korey Toomer||Quoteworthy:||“For us, it was good to get back to some real football for the guys who are down in the trenches. It was an important day. You could feel the energy the guys bring out onto the field.” – defensive coordinator Dan Quinn on the first day in pads.|
For now, it’s just a matter of waiting until next week.
“He’s really frustrated because he wants to play so bad,” Carroll said. “He wants to be on the field. It’s killing him not to be out there. We just have to be really smart about that. Because it’s so early we have a lot of time. We’re going to utilize that.”
As for surgery?
“That’s a possibility,” Carroll said, “but we’re hoping that’s not the probability. We’re hoping it’s going to be better than that.”
Almost Miller time?
Carroll didn’t provide a timeline for tight end Zach Miller’s return to the field, but he did indicate he’s expected to be ready for the regular season.
“We’re not worried about that at all unless there’s some setbacks,” Carroll said.
Miller suffered a foot injury at the end of the offseason conditioning program, and his foot remained sore when he reported for training camp. He is on the Physically Unable to Perform list and can not practice, though he can be activated at any time up until Aug. 31.
“I don’t know what the time frame is going to be,” Carroll said of Miller’s return, “because we have to get him on the ground running, and make sure that he’s in good enough shape when we break him in full speed practice.”
- • Rookie CB Tharold Simon remains out of practice with a sore foot, and in fact, he is not running in full weight-bearing exercise yet as he tries to recover. “He’s got a sore foot, and it’s one he has played with before,” Carroll said, “but we’re trying to get him past the point where it’s going to reoccur.”
- • Veteran FB Michael Robinson missed a second consecutive day with an ankle injury, getting treatment Saturday while the rest of the team practiced. “It surprised all of us,” Carroll said of the injury. “He had no problem with it in the offseason until after the first day of practice he woke up in the morning with a sore ankle.”
- • Rookie DT Jesse Williams tweaked his knee in practice Friday, Carroll said, and did not practice Saturday. “Nothing serious,” Carroll said. “Again, just resting him, taking care of him.”

Moving from hard-core geek to manager usually has some pitfalls, not just on the social ability to lead and manage side, but interaction with systems that computer geeks have built. We always hear how computer geeks many times make poor leaders and managers, but there is a flip side to that, when a formerly hard core geek starts meeting the back end support systems that run the company. When a formerly hard-core computer security person meets the local equivalent of a payroll system, paylarity is going to ensue. The last thing the hard-core computer geek wants to do is mess up people's time cards, as this will always cause problems. Yet here we have the payroll system from Hades that has managed to have one painful time card that constantly needs reset. The managers know it is a couple of lines of code that would make this less painful, but then it is not a system that is under control from anyone but the good folks in payroll and accounting. The new leader or manager, they can't go in and change it without upsetting the folks in payroll and accounting. Hard core geeks are taught to fix problems. Managers are taught to report problems so that geeks can fix them. Payroll does not want to hear about any problems, why aren't you done yet? The formerly hard-core geek (FHCG) then really has to work out how they are going to approach the issue. Moreover, this is a good lesson in usability; unfortunately, it is at the wrong level of the company. Obviously, the use case here was either not tested, not planned for, or otherwise was missed when the system was built. The only problem is that this is a payroll system, meaning people's money, which is not the system anyone wants to have problems with by any stretch of the imagination. Since it is a payroll system, the ability to go back in and adjust time cards is a generally important thing to go do, especially at year-end when the contract numbers flop over to the new number from the old number. Being able to access all the time cards, including for those people who have left is something that is done to make sure that the right contract was charged. Unfortunately, the system cuts off visibility to people when they have left the company, as well as not allowing access to time cards that have been approved by the accounting department, no going back and changing things once they have their final approval stamp. Reality though is that at end of year, when the contract numbers flip, it usually takes two or three weeks to get them into the system, meaning you have to go back and change over time cards to the new contract number. No visibility into the cards means that all the time cards including prior revisions cannot be seen, meaning that the accounting department is on the phone to the newly promoted manager wanting to know what their problem is. Hence, paylarity ensues; newly promoted manager curses the accounting department and the geeks that built the system. The bad part is that the FHCG knows that this is not a geek issue, but one that is a business test case issue. This is something that should have been tested for, and those couple of lines of code beckons, because that is all it would take to fix the visibility issue. Alas, managers, users, feedback cycles into the system, change orders, and new test cases on a system that has been in place for a while now are going to be difficult to "sell to accounting". They don't have a problem with the system, and why haven't those time cards been fixed yet?

Chester hairdressing boss Robin Langley aims to put himself a cut above the rest by operating a revolutionary mobile barbers – with the help of a Flintshire trailer maker.
Ifor Williams Trailers recently hosted a fanfare launch for three innovative new products, including a unit which can be used as a mobile business.
The business in-a-box trailer can be tailor made to suit the requirements of a variety of businesses enabling them to set up shop in different locations.
First to put the business in-a-box idea into action is Robin Langley, who already runs successful hair salons in Wrexham and Chester.
He wanted to try out the new trailer as a mobile barbers and really get his business on the move.
According to Robin, who founded his company Ego Xcentric Ltd seven years ago, the business in-a-box trailer has enough space within its stylish and compact body to provide a two-position barbers shop at the front plus adaptable living accommodation at the rear.
It caused quite a stir when he showcased his smart blue and white trailer, complete with barbers pole, in Wrexham’s busy Queen’s Square.
Robin, 42, said: “My business currently operates from three sites, including a unisex salon in Overton and barbers in Wrexham and Chester, and I was looking for a novel way of expanding my operation.
“Ifor Williams Trailers looked around for a hairdressing business with a similar ethos and drive as themselves and when I saw business in-a-box I knew immediately it was for me.
“Some of my stylists and myself then worked closely with the Ifor Williams technical team to come up with a version which meets my specific requirements for a well thought out and stylish interior. I now call it my barbers pod.
“There’s enough space for two complete styling stations with chairs, mirrors and storage areas for their equipment such as scissors, combs and hair products. There are also plenty of electrical power points available to plug in things like hairdryers and a TV on the wall.
“At the rear of the in-a-box, accessible through a small door, is quite a spacious living area fitted with two beds, a table, seats, a cooker, a sink and another TV fitted to the wall.
“Everything is nicely fitted out to make it as comfortable as possible for the staff and customers who will use it.
“Ifor Williams Trailers also took care of wrapping the trailer in our corporate colour of blue with a big white X for Ego Xcentric on the side.”
Robin added: “The idea is that the trailer can be used to take your business wherever you want it to be.
“I’ve been thinking of perhaps setting up a temporary barbers shop at big festivals like Glastonbury or the Royal Welsh Show .”
He explained he had tried out the in-a-box throughout December and now plans to take it to places such as Broughton Retail Park in Flintshire and the Greyhound Retail Park in Chester.
Robin added: “If it works out all right my eventual aim is to order quite a few of them from Ifor Williams Trailers and operate them on a franchise basis.
“The initial try-out in Wrexham town centre proved to be very successful and the trailer did everything I wanted it to do.
“I think it would be the perfect solution for all kinds of businesses who want to get things on the move.”
One of the first to put the mobile barbers shop to the test when it parked up in Queens Square was 10-year-old Ewan Higgins of Hope in Flintshire, who popped in for a quick short back and sides while he was out shopping with his mum, Michelle Higgins.
Michelle said: “We were in town when we spotted the mobile barbers and just thought we’d pop in and give it a try.
“I think it’s a brilliant idea and should catch on. It’s amazing how they have been able to fit a decent-sized barbers shop and the living accommodation into such a small space.”
Ewan said: “It’s certainly different being able to come to a great place like this to have your hair cut and I really like it.”
Cara Wilson, 28, from Ruabon in Wrexham, who has been working with Ego Xcentric since leaving Yale College six months ago, was resident stylist for the Queen’s Square trial.
She said: “I’ve never cut hair in a trailer before but I think it’s a really great idea.
“The way it’s been fitted out is so trendy and smart that I think customers will want to come in and use it. It’s a completely new experience and should bring in lots of new business.”
Andrew Reece-Jones, the design engineering manager at Ifor Williams Trailers, was delighted the trial run had proved such a success.
He said: “The business in-a-box concept is a new one and we were very pleased it received such a positive response at our international launch.
“Robin’s experience has underlined our confidence in the potential of the trailer and its versatility which will make it popular with a new type of customer, the entrepreneur who needs their business to be mobile.”

I didn’t realize how difficult it is to pull a wild horseradish root out of the ground. As I’m hacking away at the root, then tugging on it so hard I feel my back buckle, I look over and see Micha almost gracefully haul out a hefty, prehistoric-looking root. We’re on a fishing-foraging-lunch trip in Uckermark, visiting Michael Wickert of Glut & Späne and this is one of the ingredients for the lunch he is planning.
We get back into the car, driving with our handsome loot of trout from our morning fishing adventure, back to Micha’s smoking operation and café at Gerswalde’s Der Große Garten. Together with the foraged horseradish, blooming herb flowers from the garden, citrus and a traditional gin-like spirit from the Schwartzwald region, Micha guts and filets a trout to make one of the freshest ceviches I’ve ever had. You see, this is exemplary of who Micha is: a lover of the land (and waters) of the Uckermark region and he’ll go to all lengths to make sure he imbues all of his food with the terroir of this land.
Micha is best known for his incredibly delicate and high-quality smoked fish. This is because smoked fish is his mainstay and the reason he came into the business in the first place. After completing his Bachelors in Agriculture and then a Masters in Fishery Science from Humbolt University—plus a two-year stint in Brittany, France managing a trout farm—Micha founded Glut & Späne in 2011.
With a tenure at Markthalle Neun as one of the inaugural purveyors, he set out to have both a gastronomy outlet and a wholesale business where he could produce for restaurant concepts in Berlin, providing wolesale smoked fish products at a quality and accessibility that didn’t really exist before. This was a tough balance to sustain over the years as the business grew in both retail and wholesale, so in May of 2016 Micha decided to make the leap to pioneer the countryside in collaboration with Philipp Pfeiffer and Lola Randl, owners of Der Große Garten, a nature-focused food and community concept in Gerswalde. Moving to Uckermark would provide Micha the space for his smoking and catering operations, plus an outlet to feed people his delicious wares and hold workshops.
Micha’s love affair with trout runs deep, as it is the most versatile fish culinarily and for how sustainable the species is. Though far be it from him to be exclusive to just one fish species, Micha works with many fresh water and salt water fish, including pike, perch, pikeperch, catfish and mackerel, turbot and cod in a variety of preparations in cold and hot smoking, preserving and pickling. He has a special interest in recovering old recipes and preserving or reinventing them for contemporary times, a special homage to German heritage that is important to him. With a sizable catering operation as well, Glut & Späne represents rustic, honest food, never withholding the highest quality ingredients and service.
Earnest and perceptibly passionate, Micha is intentional in all that he does. With not only his shop and café space at Gerswalde (where he also holds workshops), his most active work aims to connect chefs and other folks in Berlin’s gastronomy sector to producers, farmers and artisans in the greater northern Brandenburg area. He’s assumed almost an ambassadorial role to promote the bounty of the land and waters of Berlin’s hinterland and it makes the quality on our plates better for it.
For restaurant wholesale sourcing, prices range from 15€/kg – 30€/kg for smoked fish, depending on species, availability and season. Visit Glut & Späne’s website for more information on sourcing, catering, workshops, events, opening times and directions.

TORONTO -- The National Post apologized Wednesday for publishing an erroneous story last week claiming that an Iranian law would require Jews and Christians to wear badges identifying them as religious minorities.Yup. And the sucker-in-chief is none other than Stephen Harper.
The article Friday caused an international uproar. Tehran on Wednesday summoned Canada's ambassador to its foreign ministry.
The meeting comes on the heels of comments by Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who said Friday that while he couldn't vouch for the accuracy of the National Post report, he believed Iran was capable of such actions.You can always bet that no matter how irresponsible it might be to speculate about the actions of foreign governments, the Conservatives will be there.
Unless, of course, the foreign government is our neighbour to the south. In which case speculating that they might, say, wage a war for oil would be irresponsible America-hatred.

|Vice Admiral Michelle Howard|
I was thinking of a story my Aunt Alma told her country-school third and fourth graders back in the 1960s as I picked up the morning paper. My eyes fell on an announcement: the Navy had just promoted a sailor to deputy commander of U.S Fleet Forces in Norfolk, Virginia. The sailor is the first black woman to earn a three-star rank in the armed forces.
Vice Admiral Michelle Janine Howard has a record of setting milestones. She was the first black woman to command a Navy warship, and the first to command an expeditionary strike group at sea. She is the first female graduate of the Naval Academy to achieve the rank of rear admiral.
How far we have come from the pre-civil war days and Aunt Alma’s tale of her great-grandmother Mary Pyle Redfield, who was born in Kentucky in 1819 and then moved to Illinois with her parents.
Slavery was a hotly-debated issue in Illinois at that time. Some of the wealthier people in the state owned slaves. Other people were strongly against slavery and fought for abolition.
One day little Mary was allowed to go play with another little neighbor girl. That child’s family owned slaves. One of them, a young woman, had a baby. Her mistress thought she spent entirely too much time with the child. The neighbor woman saw how fascinated Mary was with the tiny black baby, the first she had ever seen, so she gave her the baby. She explained to Mary how she could play with her while she was small and when she grew up, she could do all her work.
Mary hurried home with her wonderful present, as happy as any child who carries home a darling puppy or kitten.
Great-great-grandmother wasn’t happy at all. She happened to be one of those who felt slavery was a wicked and selfish thing. Back went the baby, the playmate and the future slave. Mary was a sadder but wiser little girl.

Airbus selects new helicopter Attitude and Heading Reference System from Northrop GrummanNews
October 21, 2014
ORLANDO. Airbus Helicopters chose Northrop Grumman Corp. to certify and deliver its new LCR-350 Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) for various platforms.
Developed by engineers at Northrop Grumman's subsidiary in Germany, Northrop Grumman LITEF, the system can be used in civil and military applications on rotary- and fixed-wing platforms, delivering critical flight control data regarding an aircraft's heading and attitude. Production of the LCR-350 is expected to begin in 2016.
The LCR-350 AHRS features a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) inertial measurement unit and is based on the standard LCR-300 AHRS. It also enables directional gyro mode operation, which reduces magnetic compass errors.

Welcome to popular music site IsraBox! On IsraBox you can listen music for review is also you can download music albums.
We present new, exclusive music and the hot hits for information. Have fun and enjoy the use of our website. IsraBox - Music is Life! Tracklist: 1 Heaven 2 Red Sands 3 Alarm Call 4 Tide 5 The Interruption 6 The Power Game 7 World Without Warning 8 Bursting 9 Lovers Retreat A unique figure in British music, Anne Clark is a singer and lyricist who works in both electronic and acoustic music, performing literate but emotionally charged songs of contemporary life.
Clarke was born in the South London community of Croydon on May 14, A bright and restless youth, she left school at the age of 16, and after taking on a variety of odd jobs she began working at Bonaparte Records, an independent record shop that also released discs through an offshoot label. Clark immersed herself in the nascent punk and new wave music scene, and started booking events at the nearby Warehouse Theater, presenting a variety of cutting-edge music, poetry, and comedy.
In time, Clark began writing her own songs and performing at London clubs, making her live debut at Richard Piano Man (Short Version) - Billy Joel - Piano Man Cabaret Futura.
On her second LP, 's Changing Places, she began collaborating with keyboard player David Harrow, whose pulsating synthesizer work gave Clark's songs a compelling yet hard-edged electronic sheen that suited the often-alienated tone of her lyrics. Harrow's electronics would dominate many of Clark's best-known releases, but she also collaborated frequently with classically trained pianist Charlie Morgan he co-wrote and played on the album Hopeless Casesas well as recording with John Foxx of Ultravox and The Interruption - Anne Clark - Pressure Points Bates of Eyeless in Gaza the latter on a collection of songs adapted from poems by Rainer Maria Rilke.
Beginning inClark spent three years in Norway, where she worked on a The Interruption - Anne Clark - Pressure Points of projects with musicians Tov Ramstad and Ida Baalsrud, and then returned to the U.
InClark turned away from electronics to take an acoustic band on the road the tour was The Interruption - Anne Clark - Pressure Points on the live album Psychometryand folk and art music influences began dominating her work. However, as more new electronic artists began citing Clark's work with Harrow as an influence, she began recording new electronic pieces, as well as allowing new acts to sample elements from her catalog.
After taking time off to return to school, Clark returned to music informing a new acoustic group with guitarist Jeff Aug, percussionist Tobias Haas, pianist Murat Parlak, cellist Jann Michael Engel, and Steve Schroyder on keyboards and programming.
Clark also gave permission to the Belgian electronic group Implant to remix some of her songs, leading to an active collaboration between the two on their album Self-Inflicted, in which she sings two songs she wrote. Inafter releasing a number of live recordings, remix projects, and interpretations of the work of other writers, Clark issued her first set of new Zombie - Day Of Phoenix - Wide Open N-Way / The Neighbours Son songs in over a decade, The Smallest Acts of Kindness, and inshe took a step towards creative self-sufficiency by launching her own label, After Hours Productions.

Final Fantasy IV’s 3D remake was released today back in 2008 on the Nintendo DS. It included all-new looks for the game’s characters, an updated version of the soundtrack, and even new additions to the game like mini-games and a new ability system.The story revolves around Cecil Harvey and his loyal band of compatriots who, as they travel the land, defeat a corrupting influence on the world’s royal families while uncovering the truth of Cecil’s lineage.
The remake was originally released in conjunction with the 20th anniversary of the Final Fantasy franchise, and was released a few days after the original release date of Final Fantasy IV on the SNES.
With the SNES original turning 29 and this DS remake turning 12, the two games serve as a parallel to not only each other, but also as significant milestones for the series as a whole. The original Final Fantasy IV started the trend of telling a grandiose story complemented with an ensemble cast and a robust battle system, namely the Active Time Battle that has since become a series staple.
The Final Fantasy IV DS remake, on the other hand, set the precedents for what we can expect from full remakes of Final Fantasy titles. Granted, the Final Fantasy III remake that was released prior also did this, but that game was never released in English, so it might as well have been a new game. The Final Fantasy IV DS remake added a ton of quality of life improvements, voice acting, mini-games, and FMV cutscenes to an already world-renowned title.
As with any remake, major revisions of the original were made, with the biggest being the full conversion into 3D polygonal graphics. Seeing the whole world rendered into 3D is a sight to behold, and massive sprites that used to take up one half of the screen are now living breathing beasts to defeat.
Cecil and his friends are also upgraded with voice acting, as well as a more cinematic camera to spice up the game’s cutscenes. Gone are the days of scrolling text boxes; now the characters actually emote and move as they speak. This is further accentuated by the addition of a whole new English translation and new scenarios being written into the game.
Gameplay-wise, the new augment system allows characters to learn additional abilities on top of the ones that they learn through leveling up. This includes powerful attacks like Tsunami and Curse, and even abilities from other Final Fantasy games, like Auto-Potion from Final Fantasy IX. This was added in to provide another layer of customisation and challenge to the remake and this was a welcome addition.
Generally, these are the biggest changes compared to the SNES original, while other changes, like a new summon called Whyt and New Game Plus, are too numerous to list down.
Best Remake Ever?
While the first three Final Fantasy games being tough to replicate and expand on for modern-day conventions, the Final Fantasy IV DS remake is definitely the best early Final Fantasy remake and is a great way for new fans to experience a significant game in the franchise’s history. Playing this DS remake in succession to the original Final Fantasy VII, VII, IX, and X is fitting and a fun way to experience the best of what the Final Fantasy series has to offer.
Granted, this remake is not nearly as robust as the complete overhaul of Final Fantasy VII Remake, though at the time, it was clearly in the same vein as the 2020 blockbuster. One thing for sure is that FFVII Remake does a better job of is setting up future instalments, while the sequel to Final Fantasy IV, The After Years, is better forgotten.
Thankfully, the DS remake of Final Fantasy IV has since been ported to iOS, Android, and even Steam, making it easily accessible for fans old and new. Play it while waiting for part two of Final Fantasy VII Remake, and let’s all hope that Final Fantasy V and VI get the remake treatment they deserve sometime soon.

Atty. Says City Owns Land Closed By State DOT
The FAA is investigating complaints
by the city of Creswell, OR that two skydiving companies are
landing jumpers at the local airport -- even though they've been
denied permission to do so.
The city's complaint points to an FAA rule that says deployed
parachutes can't be any lower than 2,000 feet above an active
The Eugene Register-Guardian reports this is the latest in a
year-long dispute between the city and two skydiving companies
operating from the Creswell Airport. At issue: safety and airport
But Wright Brothers Skydiving and Eugene Skydivers say their
contracts and past experience gives them the right to continue
landing jumpers at the airport. They've also used a parcel of land
adjacent to the field.
Complicating the issue is the fact that earlier this year, the
city failed to renew its lease for that drop zone. After that, the
Oregon Department of Transportation posted "No Trespassing" signs
on that land.
Well, attorneys for one of the skydiving companies says it turns
out the state doesn't own that land -- Creswell does. In fact, the
lawyers say Eugene Skydivers' owner Urban Moore should get the key
to the city for discovering the town's lost land.
Moore's lawyers say... if the city is worried about safety, then
the FAA should conduct a safety investigation.
The FAA confirms an investigation is now underway... but a
spokesman refuses to talk about it while until it
is completed, sometime around the middle of next month.

“Man has an incurable habit of not fulfilling the prophecies of his fellow men.”
— Alistair Cook
It’s that time of year...time when only fools attempt to predict what’ll come our way in the New Year. If any of the aforementioned prognosticators dare to look back 12 months, they’d likely find more misses than hits in their forecasts for 2019.
There’s a reason, as I noted in a column a year ago, that the windshield is bigger than the rear view mirror. That accommodates both the anticipation most of us feel as we begin another circle around the sun and the desire to put the past behind us. But I couldn’t resist looking at my musings a year ago, just a glance in that rear view mirror.
“Will breaking the cycle of blame and retribution we’ve been stuck in for at least four administrations now, an effort that will necessarily substitute bipartisanship for obstinacy, be too much to dream?” I asked back then. Apparently so, as we’ve experienced in each of the past 12 months, with plenty of blame to go around for both sides of the partisan divide.
It’d be a safe bet that’ll continue this year, what with ongoing impeachment issues to be followed by what’s sure to be a ferociously contested election come November. That’ll decide whether our current president is vindicated or rejected. We’ll learn which of the too-numerous contenders for the Democratic nomination emerges, battered and bloody, from a battle that seems to ignore the real political opportunity that beckons.
That reality being that the majority of Americans, as determined in numerous polls over a significant time period, are fed up with Donald Trump. That should offer an obvious path, more productive than arguing over degrees of left-leaning bonafides and policies that separate rather than unite not only Democrats but the one-third slice of unaffiliated voters who will decide the election. It also threatens to again open up the “lesser of two evils” arguments of Trump voters.
The November outcome will also determine if Sen. Cory Gardner can successfully navigate the tricky course he’s chosen, one of being all in for the president in an increasingly blue state that soundly rejected Donald Trump in 2016 and conceivably could do so by an even wider margin in 2020. He’ll face one of two formidable candidates in John Hickenlooper or Andrew Romanoff, another reason Gardner is always listed among the most endangered GOP senators whose potential losses could cost Republicans control of the U.S. Senate.
Any doubt about Colorado’s increasingly blue political tinge was erased by the absolute and utter failure of 2019 recall attempts aimed at Gov. Jared Polis and a cadre of targeted Democrats in the state Legislature. Those ham-handed and, in the case of the governor, predictably unsuccessful efforts only served to unify Democrats and divide Republicans. In the meantime, consolidated power at the statehouse provided Polis and Democratic lawmakers the opportunity to actually deliver on the promises they campaigned on while decisively winning the governor’s office and assuming control of both the Colorado House and Senate.
Mesa County remains an outlier in Colorado’s slide from red to purple to blue. Imagine, if your post-Christmas digestion permits, a triumvirate of county commissioners made up of Scott McInnis, Ray Scott and Janet Rowland. You’d hope we could do better, that our local political gene pool might be a little deeper, but that’d be the way to bet 10 months out. It also raises the specter of my friend but political opposite Scott McInnis being the most reasonable voice at the top of the county’s organizational chart.
Contentious politics aside, there’s much to look forward to in the New Year.
Dirt is being moved in the Las Colonias business park with the arrival of Rocky Mounts just another sign our economy is diversifying, that our surrounding outdoors offers not only recreational but business opportunities. Unemployment rates are down and average wages are up, a signal we can survive just fine without putting all our eggs in one basket. Students return next week to a much-anticipated new Orchard Mesa Middle School and taxpayers, while sometimes disappointingly selective, have shown some increased willingness to invest in needed community infrastructure.
Despite political worries, my glass is at least half full as I prepare to toast the New Year. I hope that’s also true of yours.

Raúl Jiménez Scores Two Classy Goals Before Going Off Injured
Get the best email in soccer.
England’s best non-top-six club is through to the Europa League third qualifying round thanks to a standout performance from Mexico international Raúl Jiménez on Thursday. The El Tri star scored a brace in Wolves’ 4-1 demolition of Northern Ireland’s Crusaders FC, easing the Premier League side into the next round 6-1 on aggregate.
After relying on a second half stoppage time goal last Thursday at the Molineux to take a 2-0 lead to the historic Seaview Stadium in Belfast, there was every chance that the 2018-19 Irish Cup-winners could spring a surprise on Nuno Espírito Santo’s men.
In fact, a 13th minute own goal from Wolves center back Ryan Bennett cut the English side’s lead to just 2-1. But only two minutes later, there was the club’s 2018-19 Player of the Season again playing the hero.
Jiménez's first touch was excellent, allowing him to turn and fire home with his second. Also, look at the fans at Seaview standing on the social club deck. That looks awesome. Cool stadium, Crusaders.

And just before halftime, Jiménez scored his brace with a lovely effort from outside the area.

The 28-year-old is picking up right where he left off. Last season, he scored 13 goals and added 8 assists in 38 Premier League games, as well as four goals in six FA Cup appearances. Jiménez was also awarded the Golden Ball at the Gold Cup after scoring five goals and providing two assists over the course of Mexico’s triumph.
Unfortunately, Jiménez was then substituted in the 55th minute after picking up an injury, although it appeared to be nothing more than a hard knock.
Wolves now face Armenia’s FC Pyunik in the Europa League third qualifying round.

The PCB was created to simplify electrical debugging and reduce problems related to wiring complications. After encountering many issues during the 2nd design iteration of the Hyperloop Pod,
the team needed a PCB to simplify the design for pod design 3. The team also needed to create quick prototypes of the board at a low cost, so JLCPCB was chosen to be the manufacture.
For a more detailed overview, click here.
Purpose and Overview
The board had to distribute power and route each sensor’s and actuator’s signals to the main controller: National Instrument’s Compact RIO. It also had to function in near-vacuum conditions, provide power to telemetry components, provide visual indicators for actuation, and have over-current protection (non-instant).
Interface and Power Distribution Board
|Sensor||1||Pressure Transducer (PT)||Tank Pressure (HP)||PX119-3KGI (3000PSI gage), PX119-1.5KGI (1500PSI gage)|
|Sensor||1||PT||Pneumatic Muscles (LP)||PX119-150GI|
|Actuator||2||Air Spring||Brakes||McMaster (9538K23)|
|Actuator||1||Pump||Pumping from Resevoir||GRI Prumps INTG3-562 EPDM|
|Sensor||2||Temperature Reader||Temp for Fairing, High and Low voltage vessels||Surface-Mount RTD Advanced-Design: Stick-On or Cement-On|
|Sensor||1||Ammeter||Current output for High and Low voltage||Allegro ACS758xCB|
|Actuator||1||Motor Controller (3-Phase Inverter)||Control Motor, Measure Motor behavior||Emsiso emDrive H300|

|Sensor||1||IMU||Pod acceleration, delta velocity, pressure, position||SBG Ellipse-N-B1|
|Sensor||4||Linear Potentiometer||Braking Actuation confirmation||Honeywell 75mm S.M.A.R.T. Position Sensor|
|Actuator||3||Solenoid Valve||Control air flow (actuation)||24 VDC 3-Way Value 23GG9ZCM|
|Other||1||High Power Contactor||Safely Control Use of High DC Voltage||TE Connectivity LEV200A4ANA|
|Actuator||6||Relay||Solenoid Valves, Pump Control||G5LE|
|Sensor||1||Pressure Sensor||Battery Pressure Vessel leak detect||ASDXACX030PAAA5|
The signals utilized were mainly analog signals except for the following:
|Orion 2 Battery Management System||CANopen|
|Emsiso emDrive H300 3-Phase Inverter||CANopen|
|NI 9881 CANopen Module (Compact RIO Module)||CANopen|
|SBG Ellipse-N-B1 Interial Measurement Unit (obselete)||RS232|
The CANopen protocol bitrate was set to the standard 500 Kbps rate.
The digital signals were routed as a differential pair on the PCB, however no cross-talk analysis was done between nets near the routing. Because of the limited time-frame we had to create the working prototype Hyperloop pod, little signal integrity analysis was done to ensure quality of each net. So, only behavior verification was done during testing of the board.
The subsystem functioned on 2 power rails: 24 VDC and 5 VDC. The 5 VDC rail was mainly used for the op-amps used to generate an accurate voltage output signal from the RTD sensor (current source). The rest of the system’s components, e.g., relays and sensors, were all chosen to function at 24 volts. The system was stepped-down to 5 VDC using Recom’s DC/DC Converter, RPA50S-W. This converter is capable of bypassing 50W of power.
The subsystem was relatively low power compared to our high-power system (150 A peak at 450 Vrms). The maximum power expected to distribute was ~24 watts.
Again, due to the time constraint little power analysis was done for the low-power system. Due to this, some of our sensor readings shifted during verification testing caused by voltage drops. However, at a minimum the system was galvanically isolated from the high-power system for safety reasons.
Future Design Recommendations
True Embedded System
A fairly large and heavy controller was chosen for the sake of quick prototyping and ease-of-use. LabVIEW also made it easy to create both the front-end and back-end of the software, however if given enough time the team should have went with a more traditionally “embedded” system in order to reduce weight for the sake of maximum top-speed and put in-place either on this PCB or on another.
Initial iterations of the subsystem design looked into the use of Texas Instruments Hercules MCU Arm® Cortex®-R. This seemed like a viable option and also met all of our requirements, however an embedded software engineer was not found to support the decision.
If the pod were the be in vacuum conditions for long periods of time, conformal coating the board is a must-do option. However, because of consistent debugging of the system up to the day of competition, this was not a current-viable option.
Automated Electronics Testing and Verification
Hyperloop is meant to scale. If this subsystem were to be mass-produced, various test-points and test-pins need to be seriously considered and incorporated into this design. Some test points were implemented, but are only accessible from the top of the PCB. Routing needs to be done to designated and accessible pins.
Components like the Recom RPA50S-W DC/DC Converter is relatively low-cost for the family of DC/DC converters capable of handling 50W of power, however the component costs nearly as much as the PCB board it was placed onto. If we closely analyzed our power requirements we could have chosen a much more suitable part for our design to reduce the subsystem’s overall cost.
To abide to automotive and industrial standards, like ISO 26262-1, minumum safety requirements like over-voltage and (instant) over-current protection circuits need to be implemented into the product. Fold-back circuits and Crowbar circuits could have easily be designed into the subsystem to provide these features.
Could not have been created without the help from HyperXite’s sponsor, Altium.

Elsa, the ice princess of the Disney movie, Frozen, creates a fantastically spectacular ice castle with a grand staircase and chandelier ice sculpture. There is magic in making ice sculptures, but it’s not as easy as the magic at Elsa’s hands. In the real world, ice sculptors use their groovy imagination and tools to create a magical experience with ice.
Ice sculptures come in many shapes, sizes and colors. Some ice sculptures are as big as a hotel or as small as a butterfly; as tall as 10 meters and as small as 5 centimeters. They can be used as a focal point at an event, a decoration for your dessert bowl or created for a total ICE winter wonderland. Ice sculptures can range in weight from 1-23,00 kilograms or more, depending on the design. The average weight of a two-block ice sculpture is nearly 180 kilograms. And, colored lighting can add to the beauty of the sculptured design.
Ice Sculpting Tools
Ice sculptures are made in different ways. Some are carved with machines, some are molded, and others are hand-carved.
- Chisels—a traditional tool used by many professional ice sculptors. The chisel handle is made of decorative wood and the blade of razor sharp steel. The chisel helps the sculptor with the fine details of the designed shape.
- Chainsaw—most commonly associated with ice sculpting, the chainsaw allows a sculptor to quickly shape a block of ice.
- Iron—some sculptors use an iron to warm the ice design to create a smooth sleek look.
Using these tools can be dangerous; however, most dangerous is working for long periods in the cold temperatures required to maintain a temperature ideal for ice carving. An ideal temperature for ice sculpting is 15-25 degrees Celsius.
Build Your Own Ice Sculpture
This easy activity presents less danger than sculpting ice blocks with the tools mentioned above.
Add a dash of sand to an assortment of balloons and then fill them with water. The sand acts as freezing nuclei for the water in the balloon. Freeze the water balloons outside. Once frozen, peel the balloons off the ice. STEMists will find each balloon has an individual pattern created by trapped air bubbles during the freezing process. STEMists can add food coloring to the water before freezing to enhance their ice sculptures.
Groovy Ice Sculpture Festivals
Harbin Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival
Harbin Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival in China is held each year in honor of the first Ice lanterns that were a winter-time tradition in northeast China. During the Qing Dynasty (1644 – 1911), the local peasants and fishermen often made and used ice lanterns as jack-lights during the winter months.
Quebec Winter Carnival
Quebec Winter Carnival, held annually since 1955, hosts winter activities for all ages including sleigh rides, skating, snow sculptures and more. The world’s largest winter carnival is held January 30 to February 15.
World Ice Art Championships
World Ice Art Championships in Fairbanks, Alaska, is an annual springtime celebration that showcases an ice sculpting competition. The championships take place in a permanent Ice Park where the ice for the competition is harvested from the O’Grady Pond, right in the Ice Park. Competitors of all ages can enter a single-block or multi-block sculpture, and spectators can enjoy ice skating, learning how to sculpt ice, walking through a maze and much more.
Whether your STEMists have seen the fifth-highest grossing film in box office history, Frozen, or not, the beauty of ice is often in the design engineered by the imagination and creative mind. Check out the latest ice-themed Groovy Lab in a Box “What’s The Matter?” for design challenges that encourage creative and critical thinking in your STEMists.

Congratulations to the Hawk for making the Hall of Fame! Unquestionably, it is well deserved.
I’ve always said Dawson was a no-brainer pick, despite the writers’ refusal the past eight years.
But thankfully, the scribes came to their senses, elected Dawson in and finished what should’ve happened years ago.
Of course, if there’s any silver lining to Dawson’s long wait it’s that he’ll shares the stage with no one come the July induction ceremonies. Cool for the Hawk, but bad for the Hall.
The voters should be embarrassed that Roberto Alomar fell short of enshrinement.
Are we not, after all, talking about the best second baseman since Joe Morgan, a sure-fire Hall of Famer, and another no-brainer decision like Dawson?
Yet, the writers have spoken…Alomar must wait. A decision that makes absolute zero sense to me, and at the very least, reflects poorly on the writers as well as the game’s great shrine.
Is it not clear the voting system is flawed and needs fixed?

Unearthing the Cognitive Elixir: The Nootropic Properties of Truffles
In the world of gastronomy, truffles have long reigned as the epitome of culinary luxury. However, beyond their exquisite flavor and aroma, truffles have recently gained attention for another, perhaps more surprising, attribute – their potential as nootropics. Nootropics, often referred to as "smart drugs" or cognitive enhancers, are substances believed to boost cognitive function. In this article, we explore the fascinating realm of truffles and their potential as a natural brain-boosting elixir.
The Brain-Boosting Biochemistry of Truffles:
Truffles are subterranean fungi that form a symbiotic relationship with the roots of certain trees. While they have been prized for centuries in the culinary world, recent studies have shed light on the complex biochemistry of truffles, revealing compounds that may contribute to their nootropic properties.
One key player in the cognitive-boosting potential of truffles is the presence of ergothioneine, a powerful antioxidant that has been linked to neuroprotection. Ergothioneine is known to accumulate in high concentrations in certain tissues, including the brain, where it helps protect against oxidative stress – a key factor in cognitive decline.
Furthermore, truffles are rich in polysaccharides, compounds that have been studied for their immunomodulatory effects. A healthy immune system is crucial for maintaining cognitive function, and the potential of truffles to support immune health indirectly contributes to their nootropic reputation.
Enhancing Memory and Learning:
Memory and learning are two fundamental aspects of cognitive function, and truffles may offer support in these areas. Studies suggest that truffles may influence neurotrophic factors, which play a crucial role in the growth and maintenance of neurons. By promoting the health of neurons and supporting the formation of new connections, truffles may contribute to enhanced memory and learning capabilities.
In addition, truffles contain choline, a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is involved in various cognitive functions, including memory and attention. The choline content in truffles may support the production of acetylcholine, potentially enhancing cognitive performance.
Mood and Cognitive Well-Being:
The relationship between mood and cognitive function is a complex one, and truffles may play a role in promoting a positive mental state. Some compounds found in truffles, such as serotonin precursors, have been linked to mood regulation. By influencing neurotransmitter levels, truffles may contribute to an improved sense of well-being and mental clarity.
Incorporating Truffles into Your Nootropic Lifestyle:
While truffles are often associated with gourmet cuisine, there are practical ways to incorporate them into your diet to potentially reap their nootropic benefits. Fresh truffles and truffle-infused products & supplements are convenient options for those looking to add a touch of cognitive enhancement to their daily routine.
Truffles, those prized gems of the culinary world, are revealing an exciting dimension beyond their delectable taste – the potential to boost cognitive function. From their antioxidant-rich composition to compounds that support memory, learning, and mood, truffles present a promising avenue for those seeking natural ways to enhance their cognitive abilities. As research continues to unravel the mysteries of truffles, these fungi may become not just a gourmet delight but also a cherished ally in the pursuit of cognitive excellence.

- A glass artist who loves surfing glass32 in Nago City
- Enjoy some great food while visiting Okinawa's sacred spots. “Shokuno junrei agariumaai! (a pilgrimage to food)” in Nanjo City
a little H. – a store of household goods in Haebaru Town Find made-in-Okinawa items here!
post : 2017.02.02 08:00
Saori Higa opened a little H. in Haebaru Town in August, 2016. Various household goods are sold at her store and every one of them is her favorite.
The “H” in the shop's name stands for “happy, healing and home.” She wants customers to be happy and relaxed in the shop.
Indeed, as soon as you open the door, the relaxation begins. A sweet and refreshing aroma from rush grass harvested in Teruma, Uruma City welcomes you. The grass is cultivated without any agricultural chemicals and the aroma is intense—almost as though it comes from a diffuser.
Higa used to work for a construction company. Even though she was content in her job, her passion for household goods encouraged her to opening her own store.
About 60 different items on display are for sale
My eye was caught by plates made in a local pottery studio Akane Toubou. The plates were decorated with images of hazy (kasumi in Japanese) mornings. The kasumi series impressed me with the soft grays and earthy texture. They are some of the most popular items.
Flower wreathes and swags from flower shop Detail full in Kanagusuku, Naha City can’t be missed. It is fun to imagine decorating a home with them.
Higa used to travel around in Tokyo or Fukuoka to see beautiful household items. She works with both local and mainland vendors.
Baskets made with water plants make beautiful ornaments. Also, HARIO brand coffee drippers, pots made with Nanbu iron and other nice items can come in handy.
Higa values inspiration when choosing household items—and, she wants customers to do likewise. “I feel happy if you're happy,” she said. “You don’t have to buy anything if nothing strikes your fancy… But, if you find something that inspires you, by all means come and take a look,” she said.
New items are updated from time to time on Instagram. If the pictures interest you, please visit the shop to see them up close.
