The truffle is part of France’s gastronomic heritage. It is considered a luxury item and is often used to season dishes or as an accompaniment. The truffle blends equally well with pasta, risottos, in stuffing or sauces. But the truffle also brings out the taste of certain cheeses by adding a delicate and incomparable flavour. The black, white or summer truffles all have an easily recognisable, distinct and subtle aroma, which gives dairy products an even more unique character.
Intense flavours for rare, delectable products
Known as the “black diamond”, the truffle is rare and precious. There are many different varieties including the Perigord black truffle, which has quite a strong aroma, the Musquée, the Mayenque with its lighter taste and odour, the Bourgogne and the white Alba. Each variety possesses a unique aroma and flavour. Cooked in olive oil the truffle blends perfectly with cheese, allowing the production of exquisite and delectable tasting Bries and Camemberts. Truffles can be eaten as an aperitif or just before the dessert for a festive occasion or for dinner with friends. They can also be cut into small cubes and sprinkled into a salad.
Three varieties are available from our online cheese market.
Three truffle specialities made in France by our master cheese maker are available on our online boutique: the Camembert de Normandie, the Brie de Meaux and the Brillat Savarin.
Our specialities are prepared by adding finely grated summer truffle pieces and olive oil that has also been flavoured with this exceptional delicacy to the soft cheese. Together, these ingredients form a smooth, delicately flavoured alliance. The perfectly balanced flavours possess a truly exceptional mouth feel. To discover these specialities you can order individually or select the cheese platter option. So, for your Christmas meals and New Year festivities, treat yourself to these delicious cheeses.
Discover THE quintessence of taste in this delicate preparation of a trio of deliciously flavoured summer-truffle cheeses. A gastronomic blend of Camembert, Brillat-Savarin, Brie du Meaux and salted butter.

Nice little story in the Times this morning about [tag]hedge funds[/tag] and the people they’ve hurt. As everybody should know by now, you’re really no better off, on average, in a hedge fund than in any other investment vehicle. In this article, we get the story of one man who lost his 250k investment in the [tag]Bear Stearns[/tag] blowup.
The most striking thing about the behavior of hedge funds over the past few months is that they’ve made perfectly clear that while they are increasingly willing to accept investments from non-institutional clients, they are not interested in serving the interests of those non-institutional clients. Incorporating and shielding assets in the Caymans isn’t a rare or shocking tactic, but misleading people about the quality of the structured debt you’re carrying should be both rare and shocking to anyone who cares about a sound financial system.
Another noteworthy aspect of this story: the investor wasn’t exactly looking to get rich quick:
Mr. Greene, a former engineer, said he invested in several hedge funds in recent years, aiming to preserve his principal. Most of the funds have worked out well, he said, producing slightly better-than-market returns with little volatility. He estimated that he has $600,000 to $800,000 invested in hedge funds. He invested in the Bear Stearns fund in October 2005, and he said the fund appealed to him because its returns of about 1 percent a month did not seem to fall into the too-good-to-be-true category.
So a wealthy individual looking for 1% monthly returns puts some cash into a hedge fund, the fund blows up, and the individual is probably left with nothing (he will be the last to get paid). You know who else sought very modest investment returns, watched their assets disappear almost overnight, and was pushed to the end of the line when settlements were paid? [tag]Enron[/tag] employees, that’s who.
Maybe it sounds a little hyperbolic to compare Bear Stearns to Enron. But as far as we’re concerned, financial institutions have the burden of proof to demonstrate that they’re not crooks, and so far many hedge funds have not met that burden. Hedge funds abuse their use of leverage, they mislead investors about the dangers and details of their activities, and most importantly, they completely fail to do the one thing for which they were created: they don’t hedge risk! A hedge fund that takes on absurd levels of risk (as so many seem to do) is nothing other than an unregulated pool of casino money.
One reason we started this site and our [tag]iron condor[/tag] newsletter was to teach individual investors to take control of their own financial future. In all honesty, we would prefer a regulatory regime and a political environment that didn’t simply hand unlimited power and infinite protection to the wealthiest and most powerful elements of corporate America. But regardless of whether hedge funds even learn to govern themselves, or continue to act irresponsibly (forcing someone else to govern them), the same conclusion holds for individuals: you’re better off either trading conservative strategies like ours, or in hands-off index funds.

Rhys Jones has described being selected for a third Commonwealth Games as his “gold medal moment”. Anything else he achieves on the Alexander Stadium track in Birmingham this summer will be a bonus, says the para sprinter.
So, the Ryan Giggs Wales era has officially ended. It was an announcement which almost certainly represents a full-stop conclusion to the strained 30-year association between the Cardiffian and his national football team. The word “officially” is important here: in both practical and emotional terms Robert Page is already Wales manager.
Profits made from Wales qualifying for the World Cup – expected to be around £4m - will go into improving grassroots facilities, the Football Association of Wales have pledged. The overall commercial revenue from Wales reaching their first finals of the tournament for 64 years could be at least £10m, it has been estimated. But the guaranteed part of that income – which comes from the FIFA prize money pot – will go straight into benefitting the game at lower levels.

Camille Paglia On Star Wars, The iPhone, And Moving Beyond The Partisan Hacks
‘GLITTERING IMAGES’ AUTHOR AND CULTURAL CRITIC CAMILLE PAGLIA SPEAKS TO STUDIO Q ON THE DECLINE OF FINE ART AND THE CURRENT VISUAL ASSAULT (AKA THE SCREENS ARE EVERYWHERE)
When Camille Paglia sits down to talk to Studio Q’s Jian about the lack of current, viable intellectuals, the decline of fine art relevance, and the influence of popular culture in our society, it’s hard not to listen intently.
We don’t get enough of this. The art of thought has nearly dried up. Solemn contemplation? Forget about it. The screens do the talking, thinking, and connecting for us. And they’re everywhere—all the time.
Too many of our ‘connections’ and conversations aren’t actually taking place. We perceive them to be, but then, at the end of the day—we feel hollow. Time for a Klonopin!
Watch the above clip and listen to Camille touch on issues like the rise of industrial design, the incompetence of the Obama administration, and the Revenge of the Sith.
Want more Camille? Jump in for her take on her now classic piece for the New York Times, ‘Madonna—Finally, A Real Feminist’.
From Camille Paglia’s original NY Times piece on Madonna:
“Madonna is the true feminist. She exposes the puritanism and suffocating ideology of American feminism, which is stuck in an adolescent whining mode. Madonna has taught young women to be fully female and sexual while still exercising total control over their lives. She shows girls how to be attractive, sensual, energetic, ambitious, aggressive and funny — all at the same time.
American feminism has a man problem. The beaming Betty Crockers, hangdog dowdies and parochial prudes who call themselves feminists want men to be like women. They fear and despise the masculine. The academic feminists think their nerdy bookworm husbands are the ideal model of human manhood.”
She continues, “Madonna has a far profounder vision of sex than do the feminists. She sees both the animality and the artifice. Changing her costume style and hair color virtually every month, Madonna embodies the eternal values of beauty and pleasure. Feminism says, “No more masks.” Madonna says we are nothing but masks.”
It’s interesting to look back at this piece and hear her talk about ‘an adolescent whining mode’. This is something that I think is the main flaw of Lady Gaga—she plays the victim, while Madonna refuses that role.

The City of Detroit held nothing back in a legal brief asking a federal judge to refer every member of the so-called “Kraken” legal team to disbarment proceedings, blaming them for body count left on the day of the U.S. Capitol insurrection.
“Let there be no mistake, there is blood on Lin Wood and Sidney Powell’s hands and on the hands of all those who pushed this lawsuit,” Detroit’s attorney David Fink wrote in the opening lines of his blistering 22-page legal brief on Tuesday evening. “Brian Sicknick, a Trump supporting Capitol Police Officer, died defending the Capitol against those who were deranged by plaintiffs’ counsel and their ilk.”
“Rosanne Boyland, of Kennesaw, Georgia, who fell prey to the election lies, was crushed to death by fellow rioters,” the brief continues. “The life of Ashli Babbitt, a 35-year-old Air Force veteran from California, was cut short because she tragically believed the lies spread in this lawsuit. Ms. Babbitt’s final tweet was a retweet of L. Lin Wood stating, ‘Mike Pence @vp @Mike_Pence must resign & thereafter be charged with TREASON,’ and ‘Chief Justice John Roberts must RESIGN.'”
On top of apparently calling for Pence’s court-martial and execution by firing squad, Wood accused Chief Justice Roberts of being involved in Jeffrey Epstein’s pedophile ring, a conspiracy theory that the pro-Trump lawyer apparently held for more than a year. Wood allegedly regaled his former law partners with the bizarre allegations, in writing or recorded conversations. The statement smacked of Wood’s longtime association with the QAnon conspiracy theory shared by droves of U.S. Capitol insurrectionists, but Detroit noted that the pro-Trump lawyer deflected blame elsewhere.
“Instead of accepting responsibility for their part inciting the mob, both Powell and Wood quickly pivoted to assigning blame to others: Powell tweets ‘It’s #Antifa.’ “Wood started the rumor that Antifa activists were behind the violence by posting photos of two of the rioters which were on the website of a local Antifa group. Wood, of course, did not advise his 800,000 followers that the photos were from pages on the website which identified known white supremacists. Wood then tried to claim that Ms. Babbitt’s death was a ‘false flag’ operation to ‘frame’ him. He also continued unabated, posting to ‘free speech’ website Parler that ‘Mike Pence is a dark soul … [h]e uses 13, 14, & 15 year old boys for his own self-serving purposes ….” [Citations omitted]
Before Twitter permanently suspended his account, Wood had the QAnon hashtag #WWG1WGA—”Where we go one, we go all”—on his bio, a slogan affiliated with the conspiracy theory that there is a sinister cabal of child-eating Satanists and pedophiles opposed by former President Donald Trump.
The Department of Justice has charged several QAnon adherents among the insurrectionists, noting that the “discredited” theory has the violent aim of arresting and executing the imagined malefactors in a “storm.” Babbitt was one of those inspired by these tales, leading her to try to break through the door of the Speaker’s Lobby, when she was shot by law enforcement protecting Congress members behind the door.
Wood also represented Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, a QAnon adherent who once advocated executing Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for treason and liked a comment on Facebook calling for a bullet to her head, according to an explosive CNN report.
When the city first filed its sanctions motion, Detroit rattled off the parade of “lies,” “unhinged conspiracy theories,” and “fraud on the court” by Wood, Powell, and the rest of the so-called Kraken team—so-named after the mythical octopus-like monster dramatized and quickly defeated in the Hollywood blockbuster “Clash of the Titans.” The lawyers pined for martial law, fundraised through shadowy dark-money entities, and marshaled a secret witness code-named “Spyder,” who later told a reporter that the legal team made him submit a false declaration.
Despite the rejection of their lawsuits from every court that heard them, neither Wood nor Powell backed down from any of the allegations. Their co-counsel Stefanie Lambert Junttila continued to cling to them in a legal brief offering a procedural defense that Powell could not be held liable because she did not sign the document. (Powell did, electronically.)
Detroit pushed back at the attorneys’ attempts to distance themselves from the “Kraken” monster of their creation.
“In the present case, each attorney either signed frivolous documents or advocated for frivolous positions,” their legal brief states. “Indeed, this case was not local counsel’s case; it was Sidney Powell’s case. She announced she was filing it. She promoted the claims and the ‘experts.’ It was also Lin Wood’s case. He announced he was filing it. He promoted the claims, even adopting the Parler username @krakenwood.”
The sanctions motion remains pending before U.S. District Judge Linda Parker, who rejected their attempt to flout the will of millions of Michigan voters: “The People have spoken,” the judge ruled on Dec. 7.

That's completely incorrect. Yes, the Romans were defeated, but the Italians were not wiped by any means. Latin was the primary language being spoken on the Italian peninsula, and in Spain, and in much of France when the Romans were defeated.
Unfortunately, once the Roman Empire was defeated, communications between the regions broke down seriously. Romans had built roads. Romans had created an active empire in which there was plenty of trade. Once that was gone...people were separated. Having lived in Italy myself, I can see the effects of this. People became isolated, and when that happens, dialects begin to form.
When the Romans fell, dialects actually already existed...but they weren't prominent because there was a grand empire holding everything together. The fall of the Romans was a catalyst for the dialects to continue evolving. In Italy alone there are about 30 different dialects...and nobody really spoke the same language again until the late 1800s. The same thing happened in Spain and France.
Latin was still the language for the educated...but honestly...how many people were actually educated back in that time period? Thus, Latin as a world language began to falter, but remained a world language for the educated people. It remained like this until the 1700s and 1800s.
At this time, there was a rise of the middle class, and world trade as well. The British Empire had colonies all over the world (first in the Americas, and then in the Africas, and then in Asia as well...going into the 1900s). Because of the globality of the British Empire, English was the language of the trading world.
This caused the rise of English as a global language, and the final decline of Latin - even though Latin is still pervasive in all parts of society.
As far as English being the "language of the Gods" (quoted by @nthony), I think that that is completely false.

During winter, the temperatures drop, days get shorter, and the heating bills increase as you try hard to make sure your own home remains cozy and warm. But you might save a lot of money on energy bills while keeping your house warm.
Unfortunately, some homeowners don’t know how to go about it. This is why experts have suggested the following ways to help you make your home warmer in winter:
1. Set Up the Best Programmable Thermostat
A good programmable thermostat will enable you to preset the temperatures during the day, as you wouldn’t want to keep your house at 70 degrees throughout the day.
Some units may even store up to around four temperature settings every day. For instance, this can be in the morning, daytime, evening, and nighttime. All the units come with a manual override switch.
2. Install a Heat Pump
As far as heating your home is concerned, most homeowners can’t tell the difference between a boiler and a furnace. They are just content and happy to live in a warm house.
It is easy to forget the details when you have a cozy home and utility bills are manageable. However, when upgrading or replacing your home’s heating system, you must be conversant with all the heating options.
If you are currently using a furnace, replace it with the right heat pump. Today, heat pumps Wales have become popular systems. They are cheaper than electric or gas furnaces.
3. Use Curtains
Take advantage of the heat that comes from the sun because it is free. So open your curtains and allow the sunrays to enter at daytime to leverage this heat.
At nightfall, shut the curtains to serve as a layer of insulation as well as keep every room in the house warm. You should as well ensure you don’t have gaps or leaks to retain the warm air in the house and keep the cold air out. This will help to minimize condensation too.
4. Close the Windows
Cold air may easily sip through the windows at any time. At the same time, the house’s warm air will leak through opened windows and cracks.
Even when it is sunny, the air can make your home colder than it actually is. So make sure you close your windows properly whenever you are at home.
5. Change the Settings of Your Ceiling Fan
Most assume that a ceiling fan is only used during warmer months to cool their homes. However, a ceiling fan can also be a perfect option for your home during winter.
During summer, the blades of your ceiling fan turn clockwise and use a wind chill factor to keep your home cool. But in winter, ensure you reverse the switch to change things. This way, your fan will push warm air below or above the blades.
During winter, your home needs to be a haven from the cold temperatures. It is possible to increase the temperature of a home by raising it. But this may lead to higher costs of energy. So if you are looking to minimize heating costs, consider these ways.

You can make this simple art folder perfect for on the go. It has a pocket to hold paper you can use the folder to draw and make pouches to hold art supplys. Ill admit the instructions are not extreamly clear but hopefully the pictures help.
First take an old binder and cut off the covers. Or you can use something else flat and hard that you can staple through or maybe super glue. also a binder with a pocket will help so you can use a pocket to hold paper.
Lay both your binder covers on your fabric. let the bottems of the folder be about an inch and 1/2 away from eachother. Then cut one big rectangle around both covers leaving 1/2 inch of extra fabric around the 3 sides of each binder.
Staple the extra 1/2 on to the covers. or maybe glue it I havennt tried it but it might work better.
Cut out an extrea small rectangle of fabric and staple that onto one of the covers. Be sure to leave a side open. this ouch will be used to hold colored penciles or whatever other art suplys you want to put in there. staple it a bit lose so things can fit in there. (i created another small puch to hold just regular pencles you can make as many pouches as you want)
Cut out strips of fabric and staple them to the cover to make handles.
Now your done. use the pocket in the folder to hold paper and the other fabric pocket to hold art supplies. :)


text: Nicotine is an addictive substance of tobacco. It has been suggested that nicotine acts on glutamatergic (N-methyl-d-aspartate, NMDA) neurotransmission affecting dopamine release in the mesocorticolimbic system. This effect is reflected in neuroadaptative changes that can modulate neurotransmission in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and nucleus accumbens (NAcc) core (cNAcc) and shell (sNAcc) regions. We evaluated the effect of chronic administration of nicotine (4.23 mg/kg/day for 14 days) on NMDA activated currents in dissociated neurons from the PFC, and NAcc (from core and shell regions). We assessed nicotine blood levels by mass spectrophotometry and we confirmed that nicotine increases locomotor activity. An electrophysiological study showed an increase in NMDA currents in neurons from the PFC and core part of the NAcc in animals treated with nicotine compared to those of control rats. No change was observed in neurons from the shell part of the NAcc. The enhanced glutamatergic activity observed in the neurons of rats with chronic administration of nicotine may explain the increased locomotive activity also observed in such rats. To assess one of the possible causes of increased NMDA currents, we used magnesium, to block NMDA receptor that contains the NR2B subunit. If there is a change in percent block of NMDA currents, it means that there is a possible change in expression of NMDA receptor subunits. Our results showed that there is no difference in the blocking effect of magnesium on the NMDA currents. The magnesium lacks of effect after nicotinic treatment suggests that there is no change in expression of NR2B subunit of NMDA receptors, then, the effect of nicotine treatment on amplitude of NMDA currents may be due to an increase in the quantity of receptors or to a change in the unitary conductance, rather than a change in the expression of the subunits that constitute it.

Gone for £43m ... Nightmarish painting smashes auction record for Francis Bacon
A nightmarish Francis Bacon painting sold for a record £43.14 million last night at an auction in New York.
Three bidders were involved in the auction for the work called Triptych, 1976.
Sotheby's described the painting as a "masterpiece of the 20th century" and the most important work by the British artist in private hands.
The identity of the successful bidder was not immediately known.
The $86.28 million winning bid set a new record for a piece of Contemporary art.
Disturbing: Triptych, 1976 at Sotheby's, where it smashed earlier records for a Bacon work
The painting was sold at Sotheby's in New York by a private European collector who has owned the Bacon since it was first exhibited in Paris in 1977.
The three-panelled picture depicts a headless human form surrounded by three vultures and flanked by two portraits of disfigured human faces.
The new Bacon record comes just two days after a Lucian Freud painting of a naked London Jobcentre supervisor sold for £17 million at rival auction house Christie's, also in New York, setting a new world record for a work by a living artist.
Anglo-Irishman Bacon used Ancient Greek legends as inspiration for the work.
The central figure alludes to the legend of Prometheus, who has his liver perpetually devoured by an eagle as punishment for giving fire to mankind.
A spokesman for Sotheby's in New York said:"The work reveals in a single composition the entire range of Bacon's iconography over three decades of painting, cantering on the tortured figure of Prometheus, the bringer of fire to mankind and the subject of Aeschylus' play Prometheus Bound.
Crucible: The chaotic studio where Bacon created his disturbing vision
Alex Branczik, Sotheby's London deputy director for contemporary art, described the masterpiece as a "totemic triptych".
He said: "It created an overnight sensation when it was first exhibited in Paris in 1976. It showed Bacon working in a new way.
Visionary: Artist Francis Bacon
"It is a watershed painting which sees him moving beyond personal grief on to a more universal scale.
The previous record for a Bacon masterpiece was set last year when Study For Innocent X. 1962 went for £26 million.
Bacon (1909-1992) was born in Dublin to English parents and moved to London in 1926.
Although he had no formal training as an artist, he started to exhibit his work in the 1930s and decade later he was causing sensation among the artistic community with his angst-ridden paintings of twisted and mutated forms.
He died of a heart attack in Madrid in 1992. Today, his work is among the most popular of 20th-century art at auction.

How do you reduce manufacturing lead time from four weeks to under one?
How do you do this while improving on-time performance to the high 90s?
And, do all of the above in under four months?
Well, a client I’ve worked with recently has done all three.
Every implementation of Simplified Drum-Buffer-Rope - the Theory of Constraints (TOC) manufacturing scheduling and improvement approach - teaches you something different. Or, at the very least, re-emphasises the power of different aspects of the approach.
In this case, it was the power of the Buffer Management prioritisation system to synchronise the OEMs supply chain.
The product is a complex, mechanical assembly containing, typically, several hundred components. Inevitably in this type of assembly operation, line side shortages were a serious problem for production and their ability to ship the required product on time. In TOC terms, it’s what’s known as a T-plant and component unavailability is a key characteristic of T-plants - the cause and effect relationships are very well-known. Unusually they also suffered from - or benefitted, depending on where in the company you worked. Sales see it as a benefit, manufacturing much less so! - occasional, very large AND urgent orders that they could not extend the lead time for, or miss the very tight shipping dates. These ‘events’ tended to throw an already difficult plant to manage into chaos that would often take months to recover from.
And yet within four months, a large amount of the problem has simply disappeared.
Not entirely, it’s not perfect - there’s plenty of opportunity to continue a very satisfying and productive improvement process that will keep manufacturing busy for a long time and bring further significant gains. But they’ve made sufficient process to achieve the results outlined above in one product family, and another product family is down from four weeks to under two with comparable on-time performance.
So what happened?
They implemented the Buffer Management priority system - an element of the Simplified Drum-Buffer-Rope approach - as part of a wider implementation of the approach and a manufacturing improvement project.
Buffer Management gives a VERY clear prioritisation for manufacturing, based purely on ACTUAL MARKET DEMAND. It isn’t distorted by the nonsense of economic order quantities, the spurious logic of saving set-ups, or the self-inflicted mania of so-called ‘efficiency’.
It is a clear, effective signal of what customers want and when they want it. With a basic understanding of some VERY simple rules, suddenly everyone in manufacturing is assembling the right product, at the right time, and… seemingly magically… line side shortages have greatly diminished.
And, HOW did that happen?
They extended the Buffer Management information to their two largest component suppliers.
Combined they accounted for over 50% of inbound component supply. The Buffer Management system conveyed to the suppliers exactly which components were needed by their customer and when. Information on market demand began to flow down the supply chain undistorted. They then produced - not always, but much more often - in line with, BUT AHEAD OF, the production schedule of the OEM. This synchronised at least FOUR* levels of the supply chain with orders being placed by customers. For the first time in a long time, they were all rowing in the same direction and at the same pace.
Pretty good, huh?
And there is still a very large cherry on that sits on top of the cake, ready for the eating.
Usually, the only way to cope in T-plants is to hold huge amounts of component stocks. This is a seemingly intuitive but cash-intensive, wasteful and often futile response to coping with the inherent dynamics of the environment.
However, by adjusting the method of Buffer Management to combine TIME AND QUANTITY, component stocks can easily be reduced by 30%, more likely 40%, and perhaps even more than 50%.
That is a significant amount of cash released, perhaps equal to more than 5% of annual sales. And an enormous amount saved over time on losses (damage, wastage and literal losses of stock) and obsolescence.
A rather large and juicy cherry, indeed.

I picked up Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker (DS) yesterday and I’ve been able to play the game for a good two or three hours so far. I’ve never played a Dragon Quest Monsters game before, so it’s all new to me, even though I’ve seen all the monsters before in other Dragon Quest games. Anyway, here are my impressions, so far…
When you first begin the game you have to name your main character, a kid with spikey gray hair. I’m not sure why his hair is gray, it just is. I named him Insaneo, as is tradition. You start locked in up in jail. As it turns out, your dad, the leader of an organization named CELL, locked you up for 10 days because you tried to run away and join this crazy monster competition. A little harsh, but whatever. Anyway, he lets you out and allows you to join in the competition.
The world map is separated into a series of islands, each island seemingly having more powerful monsters then the last. After you’re released, you travel to the island where the monster competition is going to be held. Unfortunately, it’s been delayed and I was directed to another island to hunt for monsters. After that, I’ve been provided little direction, so I’m running around an island with weak monsters trying to get them to join my party. The basic flow of the game seems to revolve around scouting new monsters to get them to join your party and then fusing those monsters together to create even more powerful monsters. It’s Pokemon with Dragon Quest characters, there really doesn’t seem to be more to it then that.
Graphically, everything is in 3-D. The graphics honestly look like a N64 game, they weren’t that impressive at all. When running the world around you is displayed in the top screen and the bottom screen shows a map. In battle, the top screen displays the fight, while the bottom screen lists the health of your monsters and other information pertaining to your monsters.
The sound isn’t amazing, either. It just sounds like more Dragon Quest music and nothing has struck me as particularly interesting.
Overall, I’m not really thinking this game is awesome or radical, but I’m going to give it more time. If that fails, I’ll try to finally finish Etrian Odyssey or Front Mission or whatever.

When it comes to beach attire, comfort is key. There’s nothing worse than feeling weighed down and uncomfortable in wet, clingy clothing after a refreshing dip in the ocean. That’s why investing in quick-dry fabrics for your beachwear is an absolute game-changer. At Trunks by Patrick T Cooper, we’re passionate about helping you make the most of your beach days, and here’s why wearing quick-dry fabrics is so important:
- Comfortable and Lightweight: Quick-dry fabrics are designed to wick moisture away from the skin, keeping you cool, dry, and comfortable even in the heat of the sun. Unlike traditional fabrics that retain moisture and become heavy and uncomfortable when wet, quick-dry fabrics allow air to circulate freely, ensuring you stay light and breezy all day long.

When you start to feel drowsy in the middle of the afternoon at work, it's customary to grab a sweet snack that will help you experience a burst of energy. Too often, however, these snacks can be detrimental to the health of your teeth. While chocolate and soda might be appealing, you could be regretting your choice of snack during your next dental checkup. Want to be sure the appointment goes well and that you leave the clinic smiling a healthy smile? Here are three tooth-friendly snacks to enjoy when you need a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.
A Fresh Apple
Forget the old adage that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. It's possible that this fruit can also keep cavities and poor oral health away, too. Whereas overly acidic foods can be detrimental to the health of your teeth, the acid in an apple is mild enough that it actually can help to clean your teeth by eating away at the bacteria in your mouth. The fruit's acid works in conjunction with the roughness of the peel to scrape away at your teeth, so it's always best to eat your apples without peeling them first. As an added perk, the regular consumption of apples can even help to make your teeth appear whiter. Apples are ideal to enjoy as an afternoon snack because they don't require refrigeration, meaning you can toss one in your purse or backpack to enjoy later that day.
Some Slices Of Cheese
Cheese packs a protein-rich punch that can help you feel better when you're getting drowsy in the afternoon, but the regular consumption of this dairy product can be advantageous for your next dental checkup, too. Cheese increases the alkalinity of your mouth, which helps to eliminate the acid found in plaque. This means that your teeth will be less susceptible to cavities and other complications that result from being coated with plaque. Individually wrapped cheese sticks are easy to carry and ideal to enjoy at work.
A Yogurt Cup
Toss an individual serving of yogurt in your lunch kit in the morning and enjoy it in the afternoon to boost your oral health. Yogurt is packed with healthy bacteria that can help to neutralize the unhealthy bacteria inside your mouth that lead to dental complications. When you're shopping for your yogurt, be sure to select the sugar-free variety; sweetened yogurt won't do any favors for the health of your teeth. Ask your dentist for more information.Share

Dinarland Highlights – 4.26.23
I have talked about the CBI 2011 plan many times already. We are literally witnessing the execution of this plan right in front of our noses…So where are we in the 2011 plan? How close are we? We are VERY close. We could see the reinstatement before June or shortly afterwards.
The next phase of the plan is to change the nominal rate inside Iraq and issue the newer lower denominations and coins. I believe it will be around 1.50 dinar to the dollar.
“Sudanese advisor: Foreign currency reserves are high, safe and at comfortable levels“
“the foreign currency reserves of the Central Bank of Iraq are at very comfortable levels, which are the highest in the country’s financial history, which are not less than balances (in foreign exchange and gold). between 110-115 billion dollars, and at the same time it constitutes a percentage (coverage) of the cash currency issued (and according to the current exchange rate) by about 130 percent, which is a high and safe coverage.”
CBDC…In case you didn’t know it looks like this July is when they’re gonna launch [the CBDC in the U.S.] …Everybody keeps asking me, ‘If we go to CBDC what does this mean for our Iraqi dinar?‘ That’s a good question because if they go to a CBDC does that mean we exchange our dinars in for the CDBDs? …How do we go about changing them? I don’t want anything to do with the CBDCs…I’m trying my darndest for you people to find out what we need to do for the Iraqi dinar as well as the Vietnam dong…
“Trade Bank of Iraq –Foreign transfer can be made through our branches through the Central Bank”
They can now make foreign transfers to ALL countries of the world through accounts opened in Iraqi dinars! The enormity of this means they are fully, 100% INTERNATIONAL!This is one of the key things we have been waiting for, Also in the news –the boots on the ground are reporting that the budget (as we speak) is being read and discussed in Parliament…for its third reading. Enormous news from Iraq right now. I believe it’s all done and we are just waiting for the countdown to finish now. This is awesome news to start our day.
Nader From The Mid East
“The financial advisor to the Prime Minister…Salih, confirmed on Tuesday, that foreign currency reserves are high, safe and at comfortable levels which are the highest in the country’s financial history, which are not less than balances …between 110-115 billion dollars…“
Very good article. They guy is the advisor of the Prime minister Sudani…Anything he says is true and it will happen 2 days later. I love this guy. I’ve been following him a lot. He’s the only guy I believe in all this mess.
[Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]
FIREFLY: They just came on Iraqi Channel One…he announced a new company that is going to be established and the purpose of it is to back the citizens with small deposits into banks. Just like your FDIC in the United States of America. They are telling us that they are backing our money and guaranteeing it in our banks if anything should go wrong with it we will get our money back.
FRANK: When did you ever see this? When did you ever hear this? How long have you been wanting to read these words? This is the definition of Article VIII! …This is huge. This is monstrous.
They keep telling you that it’s only a matter of weeks. Remember nothing is January, February, March – April is suddenly.
Salih, who is the Prime Minister’s advisor, came back with a really good article…Iraq is meeting all these things – Freedom of trade, freedom of capital and in compliance with all the international rules and regulations...He’s basically saying in this today, it’s already done…He’s announcing it. Maybe he’s kind of front running it. It’s not from Al-Sudani, not from Alaq but the bottom line is, his is the guy, an advisor, he’s on the board of directors of the CBI. This guys comes out and talks…Everybody should be listening…
There were two NEERs presented this past week. One of them was higher than 1 to 1. It was 1.5. The Prime Minister and the governor of the CBI are trying to explain to the Iraqi citizens their exchange rate in comparison to the American dollar. It’s all about the recalculating. It’s all about the accounting. It’s all about the numbers right now. The numbers right now are 1.5 to 1 USD is true. It’s in my option but true. The float can now start at 1.5 to 1.

Small is Beautiful: Farming in the Fraser Valley is a workshop organized by the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation (LSAF) with the goal of educating people on the future of the industry, Saturday, Nov. 23.
Michael Ableman, an author, organic farming pioneer, and social activist who co-founded Sole Food Street Farms in Vancouver, will be the keynote speaker.
“The smaller the acreage, the more you see, and the more you have to see, the greater the attention must be to make it work,” Ableman says. “It’s not the big ideas that make the difference, it’s the small things. Every leaf, every root was either going to make or break our success.”
The LSAF said Farming in the Lower Mainland is difficult for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is development pressure, which is making farm land very expensive.
Ableman – whose 120-acre Foxglove Farm on Salt Spring Island produces a wide variety of fruits and vegetables he sells at farm markets and restaurants – has been a working farmer for 43 years.
“As a society, we have to decide what’s fundamental and essential to our families, our neighbourhoods, our communities,” Ableman said. “If we don’t look at fresh food grown locally and put a value on that, if we don’t support the health of our agriculture and the well-being of those who grow our food, this doesn’t just affect farmers. It affects all of us, because we are all inextricably tied to having a healthy agricultural land base.”
Also speaking at the workshop are Melanie MacInnes of MacInnes Farms in Langley, and James Lau, community manager of Meatme.ca – a website offering a digital consumer marketplace for small farmers producing ethically and sustainable raised meat, from pork to beef to poultry and seafood.
Promising to plant inspiration through story-telling and first-hand advice on sustainable farming, LSAF is encouraging people to visit. www.langleysaf.ca to find out more about their initiatives.
LSAF is a non-profit organization founded by nine local volunteers in 2011, working to bring together farmers, academics, government officials, and other passionate individuals to strengthen food and farming in the Township of Langley and neighbouring communities.
The workshop will be held Saturday, Nov. 23 from 8:30 a.m to 12:30 p.m. at the Fraser River Presentation Theatre, Langley Township Hall, 20338 65 Ave.
Tickets can be purchased through www.brownpapertickets.com. No tickets at the door.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) pertains to the significant potential for brain parenchymal lesions after suffering cranial trauma. Individuals with TBI are at high risk for developing neuroendocrine dysfunction, especially moderate and severe types. This study was conducted to understand relationships between hypogonadism and outcomes at 6 months post-TBI and to study the effect of testosterone supplementation in patients with persistent hypogonadism on the outcome of moderate to severe TBI.
Methods: The study was conducted as an open-label, randomized trial. Males aged 16 - 70 years post-moderate-severe TBI either received injection testosterone 200 mg intramuscularly (IM) every 4 weeks for 3 months in addition to standard care or standard care alone. They were followed up for 6 months. Functional independence measure scoring was used as an outcome measure.
Results: Of 98 patients screened, 62 were initially included. 11 patients expired and 4 did not develop hypogonadism at 3 months and were excluded subsequently from the analysis. Forty-seven patients were randomized to the intervention (n = 24) and control groups (n = 23). There was no significant difference between groups in the improvement on the FIM scores at discharge, 3 and 6 months (p = 0.509, 0.609, and 0.632 respectively). The Treatment group demonstrated the greatest absolute improvement in FIM scores although the results were not significant.
Conclusion: There were no significant differences in functional independence, the intervention group showed greater absolute functional improvement compared to the control group.

“It’s nearly paranoia, a paranoia that there’s no protected place,” stated Thomas Mayes, a 70-year-old pastor from Aurora, Colorado, reacting to police brutality in opposition to Black individuals.
When law enforcement officials injure or kill somebody, the psychological results can stretch past those that are instantly concerned. As video footage spreads, viewers might even see themselves or family members mirrored within the sufferer.
In a 2021 examine of emergency room data from hospitals in 5 states, researchers discovered a correlation between police killings of unarmed Black individuals and an increase within the variety of depression-related E.R. visits amongst Black individuals. A 2018 study discovered that Black individuals who had been uncovered to information about police shootings within the states the place they lived reported opposed psychological well being results for as much as three months after the shootings.
The analysis results in a query: What’s the private affect behind these statistics?
To reply that, The New York Occasions spoke to 110 Black individuals of various generations and socioeconomic teams in 20 American cities. My colleague and reporting companion Patia Braithwaite and I combed via the interviews, listening to from individuals whose experiences ranged in depth from numbness to panic assaults. Some individuals stated they didn’t have the time or sources to deal with their feelings. Many had been not sure of learn how to course of this distinctive set of repeated circumstances.
We additionally teamed with Morning Seek the advice of, a polling firm, to survey greater than 1,500 Black People about whether or not publicity to police brutality had affected their lives or their psychological state.
The individuals included in our article, “The Toll of Police Violence on Black People’s Mental Health,” make up solely a small portion of the numerous who shared their tales.
This four-month means of reporting and modifying took its personal emotional toll on Patia and me. We stepped away when the tales started to weigh closely on us, however remained motivated to dive again in quickly afterward. It was essential to us to guarantee that everybody who took half was heard and given the eye they deserved, and for us to offer a balanced report.
We selected to relate these tales utilizing intimate portraiture. That permits you to see who these phrases are coming from, and we hope, interpret the world from their perspective, even when just for a second.
The photographer Cornell Watson’s black and white photograph illustrations present evocative representations of the statistics. The individuals’s faces convey these susceptible accounts to life and join you to the human being behind them.
The fact of police brutality is just not new, so we needed to give attention to the emotional and psychological ripple results of those incidents and discover how individuals who really feel these results cope whereas residing their lives.
We hope you’re left with a deeper understanding of the lasting affect, past the headlines and video photographs.
