In many of the supermarket I go to here in the U.S., I see this sausage from a company called Aidells. I tried this sausage for the first time when I was still living in California. I loved their Chicken and Apple sausage so I buy this sausage sometimes and chop it and add to Pasta for an easy quick meal.
Well, the other day I was buying this sausage again. As I was paying at the check out, the lady at the cashier told me that she loves this sausage and tried a recipe from their website which was awesome. She told me the recipe and insist that I should try it.
So, I went home and check their website and found the recipe she was talking about. It was easy recipe and had all the ingredients so I decided to give it a try. Here is the recipe from Aidells website if you are interested in.
Saute sausage and take it out.
Also, saute onion and apple.
Add sausage back and also cream
My husband and kid loved it. (Even though, my son was only eating pasta...)
It was super easy and tasty. I would use less apple next time but this is a great quick meal!


The deal between Turkey and the United States regarding the northern Syrian town of Manbij is delayed "but not completely dead", President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was quoted as saying by Hurriyet newspaper on Thursday.
Turkey and the United States reached a deal in May over Manbij after months of disagreement. Under the deal, the YPG militant group would withdraw from Manbij and Turkish and US forces would maintain security and stability around the town.
Erdogan told reporters on Tuesday during his flight back from a visit to Hungary that the implementation of the deal had been delayed.
"There is a delay but (the deal) is not completely dead. US Secretary of State Pompeo and Defense Secretary Mattis say they will take concrete steps," Erdogan was quoted as saying by Hurriyet.
The YPG is the Syrian branch of the PKK, which has waged a three-decade armed campaign against the Turkish state.
While both Turkey and the US, as well as the EU, all agree that the PKK is a terrorist organisation, the US has considered its Syrian affiliate as an ally in the fight against Daesh in Syria. Turkey however insists the YPG is a terror group and fears advances by the YPG in Syria will embolden the PKK at home.
Nonetheless, Turkey and the US - both NATO allies - have been carrying out coordinated but independent patrols in the region as part of the deal.
On Tuesday, Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar was quoted by state-run Anadolu news agency as saying that joint training of US and Turkish soldiers for patrols in Manbij had begun.
Relations between Turkey and the United States were further strained over the past few months by the trial of US evangelical pastor Andrew Brunson in Turkey on terrorism charges, which he denies.
Asked about Brunson's trial, Erdogan said he was not in a position to interfere with the judiciary.
"Whatever the judiciary decides on, I have to abide by that decision. Those who are involved with this also need to abide by the judiciary's decision," Erdogan was quoted as saying by Hurriyet.
The next session in Brunson's trial will be held on Friday. The trial sparked a row between Ankara and Washington that helped send the lira down around 40 percent against the dollar this year.

Subspecialty and Combined Training Careers
Infectious disease medicine is the subspecialty of internal medicine that focuses on diagnosing and managing infections. Although most common infections are treated by general internal medicine physicians and other specialty physicians, internal medicine physicians practicing infectious disease medicine are frequently called upon to help diagnose unknown infections and assist in managing difficult, unusual, or complicated infections.
See what makes internal medicine unique and all the career pathways open to internal medicine physicians. Be sure to also explore a day in the life of an IM specialist/subspecialist.
Primary care physicians are frequent sources of health advice for U.S. international travelers. International travel can result in new illness or exacerbate existing conditions. Primary care providers should be familiar with destination-specific disease risks, be knowledgeable about travel and routine vaccines, be prepared to prescribe chemoprophylaxis and self-treatment regimens, and be aware of travel medicine resources.
In the Clinic is a feature of Annals of Internal Medicine which includes practical reviews about the management of common clinical conditions.
Join ACP in celebrating Internal Medicine Day on Saturday, October 28, in recognition of the essential role of internal medicine physicians around the world.
Internal medicine physicians are experts in complexity who serve and lead in many diverse roles and settings. They're critical thinkers who excel in the most challenging and dynamic environments and provide compassionate care for patients throughout their health care journey. They are the cornerstone of clinical care—vital to patients, medical professionals, and the health care system.

We farm with traditional sustainable methods in order to obtain the best grapes while respecting the environment. We practice short pruning and green harvesting to ensure the balance of each vine and arrive at the target yields for each of the varieties. The grapes are handpicked once the fruit has reached optimum ripeness.
Once the grapes arrive at the winery the bunches are carefully hand sorted prior to de-stemming. There is a second hand sorting table for individual berries as they come out of the de-stemmer to ensure that only the very highest quality grapes go into our wines.
The winery was built in Vistalba – Lujan de Cuyo, 18 Km North of Mendoza city at 3800 feet elevation (1,150 meters of altitude), and is surrounded by the first 15 hectares / 37 acres of Malbec vineyards that Bodegas Fabre S.A bought.
For the Fabre Montmayou line of wines, the owners decided to buy exclusively old-vine vineyards in the best wine growing areas of Mendoza.
The Fabre Montmayou winery is located in the Rio Negro Valley in Patagonia at 39º of latitude South, the most southerly vine growing region of America.
These wines from the extremity of the world benefit from a very unique personality thanks to the soil of the desert where the sunny days and cold austral nights provide a very harmonic balance. There, the magic of the Terroir confers unique aromas, flavors and structure.
Once picked grapes arrive at both winery in 40 lbs. trays and the clusters are carefully hand sorted prior to the destemming. There is a second hand sorting table for individual berries as they come out of the de-stemmer to ensure that only the highest quality grapes go into our flagship wines.
Fermentation is then carried out at a controlled temperature with four pump-overs per day. Extended maceration (skin contact) allows for greater extraction of tannins, which will add structure to the finished wine before barrel aging begins.
With constant care and personal style – essential elements for great quality – Fabre Montmayou combines modern winemaking, the terroir of Mendoza and Patagonia and the Bordeaux « savoir-faire » to produce wines of unique personality.

Under the Ibiza’s bonnet sits the same 150bhp Euro4-compliant engine found in the entry-level Audi TT, connected to a five-speed manual ’box. Seat has also stiffened the spring rates (up 25 per cent at the front, 10 per cent at the rear compared to the Sport’s) and installed a thicker anti-roll bar between the front wheels, which now wear 205-section tyres.
These are wrapped around 16-inch alloys finished in titanium-look satin - a treatment that’s also been used on the door mirrors and lamp surrounds. Together with the new honeycomb-mesh air intakes in the front bumper and twin-exit exhaust pipe, they send out just enough signals to arouse suspicion that this is no ordinary Ibiza.
If it didn’t sit so high on its suspension, you’d even call it sporty. White-rimmed dials and dubious metallic trim aside, the only interior modifications of note are figure-hugging sports seats and a leather steering wheel and gearknob. The overall feel is quite subdued, but the lower driving position and body support are welcome.
As is the 150bhp engine upgrade. At 1154kg the Ibiza is no featherweight, which makes the 162lb ft of torque that the 1.8T stumps up between 2000rpm and 4500rpm all the more appreciable on the open road. Closely stacked gear ratios help here – the engine pulls 4100rpm at 100mph in fifth, making you wish for a sixth cog on the motorway – as does the lever’s uncharacteristically co-operative shift action (by VW standards).
As ever with light-pressure turbo cars, though, the driving experience is really defined by the lazy rush of acceleration that accompanies each press of the throttle – a sensation that makes Seat’s claimed 8.4sec 0-62mph time seem overly pessimistic.
Like other Ibiza models the FR can feel a little unsettled on rough roads, as if the springs are doing too much of the work, and the anti-lock tends to grab a little when you apply the anchors at high speed. But, on the predominantly smooth roads near Madrid where the car was launched, the ride felt quite acceptable and the body tautly controlled, while the grip served up by the wider tyres allows it to hold an impressive amount of speed into bends.
Drivers looking for an element of steering feel and chassis adjustability would be better off waiting for this autumn’s Fiesta ST150. But if it’s fast, safe fun you’re after – and standard equipment that includes a CD player, front and side airbags, traction and climate control – then the Seat is a very compelling proposition.

Stanley Kubrick's New York: Stunning photos show the 1940s subway system through the eyes of a Hollywood master
Legendary and infamous film director Stanley Kubrick was sent out by LOOK magazine in New York City to capture the iconic subway system in 1946.
The mind behind cinema classics like The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, and A Clockwork Orange returned with stunning shots that truly show the essence of a city in an era of change.
A couple kisses beside a passed out drunk. A man speaks into a pay phone with eyes full of suspicion.
Just as his movies have both thrilled and haunted movie goers for decades, so are Kubrick's photos of 1940s New York City an ode to the Big Apple's ability to be at once eerie and lovely.
Kubrick's subway photos are among a display at the Museum of the City of New York entitled Willing To Be Lucky: Ambitious New Yorkers in the Pages of LOOK Magazine.
Love and sadness: In Kubrick's 1940s New York City subway, love existed simultaneously with urban depravity
Conferring: While working for LOOK magazine in 1946, Kubrick struck out to capture the essence of the city's iconic subway system and its commuters
Read all about it: The resulting pictures form part of a Museum of the City of New York display entitled Willing To Be Lucky: Ambitious New Yorkers in the Pages of LOOK Magazine
Frenzied: The simultaneously thrilling and alienating nature of New York City comes through perfectly in photos taken by director behind A Clockwork Orange
Novel: Kubrick elicited some attention from his subjects in an era after escalators but well before the ubiquitous camera phone
Mind the gap? What appears to be a May-December romance buds on a platform beneath 47th street, snapped by a director known for both personal and professional intrigue
An old editor's mark mars an otherwise perfect rendering of women in hats heading to the outer boroughs in 1940s New York as a soldier stands idly by at left
Ethereal: Kubrick's subway passengers could easily be as imagined as the bar patrons seen by a hallucinating Jack Nicholson in The Shining
Gum shoe: The director gives a film noir twist to what was likely just a typical pay phone call...or was it?
Black and white: The photo is time worn, but the shock of seeing a New York where everyone dressed the same still comes through

Cryptocurrency platform Coinbase announced on Monday it is now accepting inbound transfers of XRP to Coinbase Pro. The platform reported that it is accepting deposits for a minimum of 12 hours prior to enabling full trading and the inbound transfers require the specification of an XRP destination tag.
According to Coinbase, once sufficient supply of XRP is established on the platform, trading on the XRP/USD, XRP/EUR, and XRP/BTC order books will start in phases, beginning with post-only mode and proceeding to full trading should our metrics for a healthy market be met. The platform reported:
“XRP trading will initially be accessible for Coinbase Pro users in the US (excluding NY), UK, supported European Union member nations, Canada, Singapore, and Australia. Additional jurisdictions may be added at a later date.”
Coinbase also reported that all accounts on the Coinbase Pro network can send or receive XRP to/from each other, while XRP can be used to send underlying fiat currencies between two parties. In this way, XRP can function as a bridge currency in transactions involving different currencies such as US dollars, Japanese yen, Euros, Francs, and others in use on the XRP network. There will be four stages to the launch, which are the following:
- Transfer-only: Customers will be able to transfer XRP into their Coinbase Pro account. Customers will not yet be able to place orders and no orders will be filled on these order books. Order books will be in transfer-only mode for at least 12 hours.
- Post-only: Customers can post limit orders but there will be no matches (completed orders). Order books will be in post-only mode for a minimum of one minute.
- Limit-only: Limit orders will start matching but customers are unable to submit market orders. Order books will be in limit-only mode for a minimum of ten minutes.
- Full trading: Full trading services will be available, including limit, market, and stop orders.

Differences of Blood Glucose Levels in Diabetes Mellitus Patients Consuming Brown Rice and White Rice
Ikrima Rahmasari, Yuli Fidayani, Hasna Huwaida
Diet is an important determinant that influences the occurrence of insulin resistance. Thus, eating patterns greatly influence the occurrence of DM disease. Micronutrient substances and phytochemicals in brown rice are higher than white rice, so brown rice likely has a protective effect on the incidence of type 2 diabetes. This study used an experimental method using a two-group post-test design with purposive sampling technique. Samples, as many as 32 respondents were divided into two groups of 16 respondents each. The variables of blood glucose levels were analyzed univariately; then subsequently, the bivariate analysis was employed to determine differences in the dependent and independent variables by using the Mann Whitney test with a significance level of 0.05 (5%). The results of this study indicated that the majority of DM sufferers who consumed brown rice had lower blood glucose levels than those who consumed white rice. It was also supported by the results of the Mann Whitney statistical analysis, which obtained a significance value of 0.006 <0.05. This study concluded that there were differences in blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes who consumed brown rice and white rice.

Ann Taves joins us to discuss her work arguing that we should study religions under the broader rubric of “worldviews” and “ways of life”. This ambitious interdisciplinary project aims to place a micro-level analysis of individual worldviews into a broader evolutionary perspective. Through case-studies (including ‘secular’ worldviews like Alcoholics Anonymous alongside more traditional ‘religions’), she explains how worldviews form in response to existential ‘Big Questions’ – here understood as core biological needs and goals, rather than theological or moral concerns – and are enacted in Ways of Life, individually or collectively.
In a freewheeling conversation, Dr. Jason Josephson-Storm and Dan Gorman discuss the intellectual history of religious studies and the myth that magic is dead.
In this podcast Professor Joe Bulbulia of Auckland University speaks to Thomas White about situating the study of religion within a broader concept of ‘justice’. Bulbulia calls ‘religion and spirituality those features of nature [in the biocultural sense of the word] that combine to cultivate a sense of justice in people’.
Bulbulia argues that common across human societies are conceptions of obligation and responsibility: what is owed to others, and what is owed back in return. These sensibilities locate within a complex combination of institutions, traditions, texts, stories, habits, rituals, rules of etiquette, laws and conventions, abstract ideals, and beliefs in God(s) – though this list is not exhaustive!
“Religions are belief systems”, “Religions are intrinsically violent”, “Religion is Bullshit”… these are just some of the pervasive cliches that we might hear from time to time in the English-speaking world about our central topic of discussion on the RSP, ‘religion’. In this podcast, Chris is joined by Brad Stoddard and Craig Martin, the editors of the recently published Stereotyping Religion: Critiquing Cliches (Bloomsbury, 2017) to discuss these cliches, the ideological work that they do, how scholars could and should approach them, the construction of the book, and more.
In this wide-ranging interview, Chris and Professor Fuentes discuss the themes of the lecture series, the intersections of research on human evolution, ethnoprimatology, and human nature, with the study of religion more generally, the Planet of the Apes films, and more. Along the way, important distinctions are made between specific “beliefs”, “belief systems” and the human “capacity to believe”, and we ask some important questions about the future.
In this interview, Owen Coggins joins us to talk about the use of religious (and sacreligious) language and imagary in Drone Metal, a genre which stretches metal to low, slow, repetative extremes. Drawing on the work of Michel de Certeau, he tells David Robertson that the prevalence of language relating to mysticism and “spiritual experience” may be due to the genre’s focus on the physicality of the musical experience. Expanding out to discuss other forms of popular music which exhibit these modes of engagement, the conversation moves to consider how this case-study might open up new ways to engage with religious ideas in popular culture, and in other practices involving extreme states of bodily consciousness.
With the rise of reactionary politics across the globe, it is arguably increasingly important for the academic community to give consideration to the prospects of developing and strengthening solidarity across apparent religious, political and economic differences. In this podcast, Chris speaks to Dr Timothy Stacey (University of Ottawa) about his forthcoming book, Myth and Solidarity in the Modern World: Beyond Religious and Political Division (Routledge, 2018), in which he asks how we can begin to imagine solidarity in the modern world, and challenges academics to be challenge the co-option of their work by being “better than those who seek to co-opt us.”
This conversation between Richard Irvine, Theodoros Kyriakides and David G. Robertson concerns magical thinking in the modern world. We may think that such ideas are confined to the fringes in the secular, post-Enlightenment world, but this is not necessarily the case. We talk about Weber’s rationalisation and James Frazer’s evolutionary model of modernity, and how they relate to ideas of belief, and magic.
In this week’s podcast, Hans Van Eyghen sits down with Professor Michael Pye to discuss the various historical, political, and social factors that have impacted Japanese Shinto.
A panel on the public impact and engagement of Religious Studies/Study of Religion/s led by committee members of the British Association for the Study of Religions, including Dr Stephen Gregg (Wolverhampton), Dr Christopher Cotter (Edinburgh), Dr Suzanne Owen (Leeds Trinity), Dr David Robertson (The Open University) and Dr Steven Sutcliffe (Edinburgh).
Toys, Rabbits, and Princess Diana – three things that may not seem at all connected. However, when one starts to question the notion of grief, bereavement, and death in the contemporary West, these three are more connected than appears. In this podcast, Breann Fallon interviews Professor Douglas Ezzy of the University of Tasmania on the power of symbols in creating relationships and world-repairing rituals in the context of grief and death.
In this podcast, we check in with the state of the field, discuss developments beyond the Anglophone “West”, some of the many exciting projects being worked on under the “Understanding Unbelief” banner, the utility and pitfalls of the terminology of “unbelief”, and some of the critical issues surrounding the reification of survey categories.
In this interview Associate Professor Will Sweetman talks to Thomas White about the idea that ‘Hinduism’ and many of the other terms we use to classify religions—including the term religion itself—are modern inventions, emerging out of nineteenth-century inter-cultural contact and European colonialism. Will argues against this critique, and to make his case he draws on historical sources that discuss ‘Hinduism’ both outside of the anglophone experience and long before the nineteenth century. Through identifying alternative, non-anglophone sources of cross-cultural, West-East encounters, where comparative religion is the subject of reflection and description, the concept of ‘Hinduism’ is presented as obtaining a much richer history than the ‘invention thesis’ allows.
What does math have to do with religion? In his interview with Hans van Eyghen, author Chris Ransford discusses his latest book ‘God and the Mathematics of Infinity’. He discusses why mathematics is useful for thinking about religion, covering some of the conclusions he draws in the book.
spectrum represent a unique population of study in the cognitive and psychological sciences of religion. Because religious cognition stems from normal social-cognitive capacities, which are altered for individuals on the spectrum, researchers also expect variation in how they think about supernatural agents. In this interview, Ingela Visuri discusses her ongoing research at the nexus between autism and religion.

Manufacturer of Brass Silica Sol Casting - Aluminum extrusion – Neuland Metals
Manufacturer of Brass Silica Sol Casting - Aluminum extrusion – Neuland Metals Detail:
Aluminum extrusion is a technique used to transform aluminum alloy into objects with a definitive cross-sectional profile for a wide range of uses. The extrusion process makes the most of aluminum’s unique combination of physical characteristics. Its malleability allows it to be easily machined and cast, and yet aluminum is one third the density and stiffness of steel so the resulting products offer strength and stability, particularly when alloyed with other metals.
Aluminum extrusions can help you save both time and money.
aluminum extrusions create an aluminum cross-section much closer to its final shape. This reduces the purchase weight and amount of machining needed to bring it to its finished size. The results include:Faster manufacturing, with less material waste, Consistent product, Proprietary control over your design, Reduce your waste by purchasing only what you need rather than the same bar and plate stock sizes.
The aluminum Extrusion Process:
A custom die is designed and created with a cross-sectional profile that best suits your needs. The material is shaped as it is pushed through the shaped opening in the die, taking on the same profile as the die opening. Custom aluminum extrusions can be fabricated with holes and other features to benefit the manufacturing process.
A major benefit of this manufacturing process is that it can create complex designs that are uniform across the material length. Custom extrusions can be created with a wide variety of aluminum grades and designed and produced to close tolerances with a wide range of finishes.
Today, aluminum extrusion is used for a wide range of purposes, including components of the International Space Station. These diverse applications are possible due to the advantageous attributes of aluminum, from its particular blend of strength and ductility to its conductivity, its non-magnetic properties and its ability to be recycled repeatedly without loss of integrity. All of these capabilities make aluminum extrusion a viable and adaptable solution for an growing number of manufacturing needs.

What’s The Difference Between DMD and DDS?November 28, 2023
Is Fluoride Good For Your Teeth?January 29, 2024
Bucks County’s Trusted Dental Practice
Maintaining good oral health is vital not just for a dazzling smile, but also for your overall well-being. However, creating an oral health routine that’s both effective and easy to stick to can be challenging. At Highpoint Dental Medicine, we believe in making dental care simple and accessible. Here are practical tips to help you establish an oral health routine that you can maintain consistently.
1. Start with the Basics
Begin with the foundational elements: brushing and flossing. Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, and don’t forget to floss daily. This removes plaque, prevents tooth decay, and keeps gum disease at bay.
2. Choose the Right Tools
Invest in a good quality toothbrush (manual or electric), and replace it every three to four months. A worn-out toothbrush won’t clean your teeth effectively. Also, choose dental floss that’s easy and comfortable to use – there are many varieties available, from traditional string floss to convenient floss picks.
3. Incorporate Mouthwash
Adding an antimicrobial mouthwash to your routine can help reduce plaque and gingivitis. Mouthwash reaches areas of your mouth that brushing and flossing might miss. However, it should complement, not replace, brushing and flossing.
4. Make It Convenient
Keep your oral hygiene products in a visible and accessible place. If you’re often on the go, consider having a travel-sized kit in your bag or at work. This way, you’re more likely to stick to your routine.
5. Set Reminders
In the beginning, it may help to set reminders on your phone or leave sticky notes in the bathroom. Once you get into the habit, these reminders can be phased out.
6. Understand Your Dental Needs
Everyone’s oral health needs are different. For instance, if you have braces, you may need to use special cleaning tools. If you have sensitive teeth, a specific toothpaste type might be required. Understanding your unique needs can make your routine more effective and personalized.
7. Regular Dental Check-Ups
Regular visits to Highpoint Dental Medicine are essential. Professional cleanings remove tartar that can’t be brushed or flossed away. Plus, we can provide personalized advice and catch any issues before they become serious.
8. Associate with Positive Experiences
Try associating your oral health routine with something enjoyable. Listen to your favorite song while brushing or treat yourself to a small reward after a week of not missing your routine.
9. Adjust as Needed
Be flexible and adjust your routine as needed. If you find certain aspects of your routine aren’t working, don’t be afraid to try something new. The key is to find what works best for you.
Make An Appointment At Our Bucks County Dental Practice Today
Creating an oral health routine you’ll stick to doesn’t have to be complicated. By starting with the basics, choosing the right tools, and making it convenient and enjoyable, you can maintain great oral health with ease. Remember, regular check-ups at Highpoint Dental Medicine are a critical part of your oral health routine. Schedule your appointment today, and let us help you keep your smile bright and healthy!

Algieri published in new text on the EU’s role in International Politics
An adaptation of Dr. Franco Algieri’s earlier work on the EU’s role in international politics has been published in a new text from the International Debate Education Association (IDEA).
A Different Kind of Power brings together important contributions from the debate on the nature of the EU. Being without historical precedent, it is still unclear exactly how the EU functions on the world stage, and in which direction it may be heading. Dr. Algieri brings his expertise to the debate with a special focus on China.
Dr. Algieri’s featured article, titled “Back in the High Life Again? Shifting Patterns of EU-China Relations,” examines the ebb and flow of Euro-Sino relations since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1975. This relationship is complicated by numerous factors including Europe’s ambiguous China policy, and China’s uncertain postures in its rise as a global power.
Dr. Algieri highlights dynamics including the EU and China’s trade partnership, human rights tensions, and strategic security concerns. The relationship between the EU and China is sure to be one of the key issues of international relations going into the 21st century and merits close investigation.
A Different Kind of Power is available for purchase online.

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high over vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils,
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay,
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

At least 200 children have died in Somalia since January from drought-induced malnutrition, UN says
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) said late Monday that at least 200 Somali children have died of malnutrition since January, with the country experiencing “catastrophic food insecurity” for the first time since 2017.
Drought conditions have deteriorated after an unprecedented fourth consecutive rainy season in eight regions of the country, compared to six regions in May this year, bringing affected families to the brink of starvation, according to the UN.
“More than 7 million people are affected, up from 6.1 million in May, and more than 805,000 are displaced,” said a statement released by the UN humanitarian affairs agency.
In response to the drought, the UN said its humanitarian partners had launched the Drought Response and Famine Prevention Plan covering the period from May to December 2022 to facilitate the scaling up of life-saving assistance and vital to prevent famine in the country.
The plan requires $993.3 million to implement and targets 6.4 million people, according to the UN.
“Since January, 3.9 million people have received life-saving assistance. However, the scale of the ongoing response and funding from the international community is not sufficient to sustain the lives of all those at risk,” says the press release.
The UN said that in the current crisis, late and limited funding is preventing an appropriate increase in aid.
“The current funding situation ($435.8 million, or 30% received) is comparable to 2011, when funding was slow to arrive until a devastating famine was declared,” the UN said.
As of June 30, the severe drought had affected more than 7 million people, up from 6.1 million in May, with more than 805,000 displaced.
The UN said rapidly rising humanitarian needs require a massive scale-up as partners move from drought response to famine prevention.
His statement comes hours after Somalia appealed for global help to deal with the deadly drought.
Hunger is rising after an unprecedented fourth consecutive rainy season since 2020, with 7.1 million people – 45% of the population – already acutely food insecure.
“For the first time since 2017, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has confirmed pockets of catastrophic food insecurity affecting more than 213,000 people,” the UN said.
Somalia is experiencing one of its worst droughts linked to climate change in four decades which has devastated the country.
During the main period of a devastating famine between May and October 2011, there were more than 20,000 additional deaths per month in southern and central Somalia.

Harsher penalties for child predators
Re.: 8/14/16 article "Shadowed History"
This article is one big reason I'm concerned about the direction our country (an world) are headed. I understand why this happens in third world countries where the religious flocks have no input or say but not in our country. Here, we have all the freedoms to express our views, and yet there is very little out cry when over the past several years the news media exposes the many years of cover ups by the big money religious companies that hide their in house pedophiles or as I call them terrorists.
Terrorists are people that prey on the innocent and who are more innocent then our children. Yet the religious organizations continue to move their pedophiles around until some news organization exposes their criminal activity and then and only then they reluctantly fess up and cooperate until the big bad press goes away. I would think parents would be outraged and go to war with the criminal bosses that run these organized religious hide outs for pedophiles.
Shouldn't the monsters at Penn State University, involved with hiding the Pedophile Sandusky from the Secular community, been a wake up call for all red blooded Americans to give this issue a top priority status. It seems to me that the Secular Press keeps bringing this issue to the forefront time and time again but very, very little is being done to make it an extremely serious and major issue for our representatives to pass laws that make much harsher penalties for both the pedophile and all their enablers.
Even decadent Hollywood has made two recent movies about this satanic problem, "Spotlight" and "Doubt", which makes clear that this major society problem is not being given the hundred per cent recognition it deserves. Pedophiles and their enablers enjoy complete freedom before and after exposed because the penalties for these people are weak and pretty much non existent. Shouldn't a major cancer in our society deserve a serious and hard line penalty? Our news organizations expose them, our law enforcement system arrests them, our judicial system convicts them but our laws makers refuse to be mean to them for some reason. To me it represents a very sick society when it refuses to get tough with people that terrorize its children. I would think all the man made gods would find this very weird.

OLYMPIA (Aug. 5, 2015) — “This is no way to run a state government.”
That’s the assessment of Washington State Labor Council’s 2015 Legislative Report, which was released today, summarizing this year’s session(s) of the State Legislature. After three costly overtime sessions and 26,000 pink-slip warnings sent to state workers, a budget deal was reached just hours before a state shutdown was to begin. The WSLC’s report places the blame squarely on “the Republican-controlled Senate (that) embraced the threat of a state shutdown this year so Washington’s wealthiest could continue to avoid paying their fair share and to pursue an ideological anti-union agenda.”
The report describes the fate of 2015 legislation and includes the annual WSLC House and Senate voting records, which are published each year so union members can understand how their elected representatives voted on issues that affect their jobs, wages, and working conditions. The report is available at the WSLC web site in PDF format.
That’s not to say that there was no good news in the 2015 session. In an effort championed by Gov. Jay Inslee, a significant investment was made in the state’s transportation and capital infrastructure that will create and preserve jobs. And at the end of that interminable budget process, state employees’ contracts were funded and they got their first raises in seven years.
But as the WSLC’s 2015 Voting Records demonstrate, there was a stark difference between the performance of the Democratic-controlled House and the Republican-controlled Senate on working families’ issues. House Democrats advanced a shared prosperity agenda, with every single Democrat voting in favor of raising the minimum wage and allowing all workers to earn paid safe and sick leave. Meanwhile, Senate Republicans pursued an ideological agenda that included attacking public employees’ collective bargaining rights, putting a Band-Aid on the state’s underfunded education system so the wealthy and corporate special interests could avoid paying their fair share in taxes, and killing the Washington Voting Rights Act.
In addition, many important issues were considered but not acted upon, including establishing some accountability from aerospace companies that receive billions in state tax breaks and addressing what has become the most unfair tax system in the nation. The wealthiest 1% pay just 2.4% of their total income in state taxes, but middle-class families pay four times that rate, and low-income families pay seven times that rate. Meanwhile, five of our state’s biggest industries — aerospace, high-tech, agriculture, timber and mining — combine to contribute just 4% of all the B&O taxes collected last year, while smaller businesses were responsible for paying the rest.
“The truth of the matter,” writes WSLC President Jeff Johnson in his column that appears in the report, “is that… (Senate Republicans) don’t care that we have the most regressive tax system in the country, they don’t care that teachers will only get one-quarter of the cost-of-living pay increases that the legislators themselves will get, and they don’t recognize the social safety net has so many holes in it that thousands of our most vulnerable citizens fall through it every week.”
Johnson says the lesson is that “elections matter,” and working families will have to recognize who their champions are at the ballot box in 2016.
The WSLC is the largest labor organization in the state, representing some 600 affiliated union organizations and some 400,000 rank-and-file members across the Washington state.

Path of the Heart Take me to Tropea
Come explore the coast of the gods and the healing waters of the Tyrrhenian sea
Tropea is one of the many Heavenly Realms on earth. Located in the southern peninsula of Italy it is a quaint little village with deep roots and history. During our retreat, we will explore the village, mingle with the locals, walk the shore of Tropea to Blanca beach, swim in the most beautiful sea you’ve ever seen, and dine in the city center.
Our excursions planned will invigorate your Soul while receiving internal illuminations in the present moment of experiencing them. Daily workshops are held to share ancient wisdom and tools to align with your Heavenly Earth reality. Learn about the Domino Effect of following your purpose, How to Read the Signs of the Universe, and balance your energy centers daily.
Why choose the Path of the Heart?
because your heart is your internal compass to your Heaven on Earth
A way of life where everything you seek is in your external reality
Fulfilled to the highest realm. Not wanting or seeking. Finding the practice of stillness simply to embrace everything in your present reality. A life you’ve always dreamed of but were never taught how to obtain. A breakthrough in consciousness that catapults you beyond the realms of limitations.

Is your external reality what you see when you close your eyes? If so, then you are universally aligned. This retreat will amplify your current surroundings and invigorate your Soul with deep compassion for honoring yourself so greatly. If not, then it is time.

Research as Design Process
website & email posters
My intent was to create a concept that would be equally as interesting as email posters & as a website. Research and process both initialize a search for a something that aids in the maturation of one’s project. I visualized this idea with colour variations & the use of blur to mimic the drift of focus/out-of-focus that we seem to fluctuate through as we undergo making. As you move your mouse across the screen, colours paint the display; a click erases all strokes. Because the posters are not interactive, how the strokes interacted with the type was adjusted to maintain legibility all the whilst maintaining the visual theme.

THE INFLUENCE OF COGNITIVE PROCESSING STYLE ON COGNITIVE DISTORTION IN CLINICAL DEPRESSION
Abstract:Beck and his colleagues (Beck, Rush, Shaw and Emery, 1979; Sacco and Beck, 1985) have proposed that depressed people make specific depressotypic errors which are distinct from normal information processing, and which are actuated by depressogenic schemata. The theory of field dependence-independence of Witkin and his colleagues (Witkin and Goodenough, 1981), on the other hand, proposes a model of intraindividually developmentally-consistent cognitive styles, resistant to variation in clinical state. In an effort to resolve this discrepancy, it was hypothesized that the use of specific cognitive errors by clinically-depressed women would reflect their stable ongoing cognitive style, as well as their current depressive state. Thirty clinically depressed women were assessed; statistical profile analyses confirmed that field dependent women made more specific cognitive errors than field independent women. Similar but less specific findings were obtained when the effects of negative life event frequency and depression severity were statistically controlled. A prediction that style-consistent situational variables would differentially influence extent of endorsement of cognitive errors in women of different cognitive styles was not confirmed. These findings are discussed for their implications for Beck and Witkin's theories.

Manchester United, more often than not, have made their way out of their group and into the last-16 of the Champions League.
Even under David Moyes, who was atrocious as manager, United reached the quarter-finals. They finished top of the qualifying group, after winning four of their six games.
This season, United are second in the group, with two wins from five games. Had United beaten PSV Eindhoven a fortnight ago they would have secured their place in the next round, but instead they drew 0-0, which takes the qualification to the final game against Wolfsburg on tonight.
If United beat Wolfsburg, they will finish top of the group.
But if PSV beat CSKA Moscow, who already have no chance of progression to the next round, even a draw wouldn’t be good enough for United.
Thankfully, CSKA Moscow can still qualify for the Europa League so have some incentive for beating PSV to finish third.
Following United’s draw with PSV, Louis van Gaal spoke of his confidence at progressing to the next round.
‘We are still second and are still in the qualifying position,’ he said. ‘We have to win in Wolfsburg and that’s a difficult game, but everything is possible, it is never impossible. We won at home against them, so why can’t we win away? We can win everywhere.’
The problem for Van Gaal is that United aren’t winning everywhere, as they aren’t scoring goals. They have drawn the two games they have played since the PSV result, and in the past 10 games in all competitions they have scored just seven goals.
The players were booed off the pitch by the Old Trafford crowd following Saturday’s goalless draw against West Ham, letting the manager know that the pressure is now on.
United are in a good position in the Premier League, on the same points as Manchester City and just three points off the top, but that isn’t good enough for the supporters, who demand to be entertained.
This trip to Germany could be the tipping point for sections of the fanbase. Qualification to the next round of the Champions League is a must so Van Gaal better adapt his philosophy to include more goals, and he better do it quickly.

Our achievers secure position at the North Zone Finals of First Lego League
The senior team of the school bagged 3rd position in First Lego League (FLL) North Zone Finals hosted recently at Manav Rachna International School, Sector 14, Faridabad. The team has qualified for the FLL Internationals. The MRIS 46 school team was the only winning school team in a tough competition that saw 25 teams (from Clubs and schools) competing against each other.
The “Renaissance Team” comprised of 10 students from Grades VI, VII & VIII who along with their mentors had been working on their project for over two months.
“The competition tested patience, scientific and engineering skills, adeptness and presentation expertise”, said Pradyuman Singh, an enthusiastic team member and a scientist in the making.
The winning team’s innovation is a ‘sensational glove’ named Stark for astronauts in space.
The junior team (students of Gr IV & V) too was appreciated and felicitated for their performance.

We’d been wanting to go to San Diego and couldn’t find the right time! We finally did!! Just Sunday-Monday was perfect for us!
We found our hotel at hotels.com! Our biggest thing we wanted was a shuttle because we didn’t want to rent a car, it’s always so expensive for us because both of us are under 25. So this hotel was great for that! They took us to and from the airport, sea world, and the beach! It was sweet!
Sea World is so dang expensive, but we figured we probably wouldn’t ever go again until we had kids so it was worth it!
Monday morning we walked to the Mormon Battalion Historic Site! As someone who is LDS I hadn’t learned a lot about the Mormon Battalion so it was really cool!
FYI.. it’s pretty cheese ball in there. But it was a lot of fun and great information!!
Then we went to Mission Beach and just laid out!
And there was this super yummy Italian restaurant, Luigi’s at the Beach!

If you like hush puppies, you gotta try these squash puppies. I think a person who doesn't like squash will love these.
- Combine the first 5 ingredients in large bowl. Stir together the squash and next 3 ingredients; add to the cornmeal mixture. Stir until blended.
- Pour oil to the depth of 1/2 inch deep into a cast iron skillet (or any heavy skillet). Heat to 350°F drop batter by rounded tablespoons full in batches. Fry 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown drain on paper towels.
- Sprinkle evenly with the 1/2 tsp of salt.
This is the recipe to pull out when your garden is over run with zucchini and squash and your family is begging, "No more squash!" It has a nice little kick with the red pepper (I added a 1/2 tsp.) I added the left overs to my spaghetti sauce and served over pasta. Delicious.
Totally awwesome recipe - OMG they were snarfed up!- the few leftover are even good COLD the next day! We are Southern & very exacting on what constitutes proper hushpuppies. I made these calling them fritters but they met muster well. Crispy light bites of goodness - When I make them again (this weekend for friends) I will try to sub minced green onion for a bit more color but in same quantities. Fried them outside in deep fat fryer - done in 6 minutes at 360 degrees (we made big uns too). Thank you Southern Chef in Louisiana for this recipe I will use often when squash is in season as this is a subtle way to lighten an old family fav!
these were so yummy! i'm throwing out my hush puppies recipe and sticking this one in its place...thanks so much for posting!

@becca If you equate unprotected sex to feeling good with added risk of consequences, then yes, carbs may make you feel good with added risk. However, I think you can enjoy unprotected sex without risk (marriage, committed relationship, etc..), and equally not eat carbs and feel great about all kinds of amazing food choices and do so without risk.
I think people eat carbs because the industrial food supply has cheap, government subsidized corn sugar in almost every single processed food item on the planet. What was originally designed to ensure that hunger, and malnourishment was no longer a part of our society has turned into the most pervasive and costly health problem our society will ever see. We most certainly do not feel better when our bodies are taxed and conditioned to crave empty calories, which in turn make us obese, feel bad, and are a huge tax on productivity, the health system and our well beings.
However, a lot of food, and particularly “home cooking” foods are tied to many of the emotions we have developed in our most formative years. So, that pasta dish, particular rice preparation, stuffing, home baked bread, biscuits, cake, cookies, deserts, or candy all have an emotional tie to our earliest moments and relationships relating to our parents, grandma, or loved ones, and align with early reward systems and feelings of love. It’s hard to not eat that warm pie that my mom makes, when every bite reminds me how much love she put into making it for me. Not eating it is denying myself love.
So, eating carbs = unprotected sex = love from your mom. That is formula for a greek tragedy that doesn’t end well for anyone. : )

Close but no cigar....I have the millet 4-16x50 LRS with .1 mil adjustments on my 257 wby. I like it. Tracks well, clear, keeps zero and I love the zero stops on it. Nice scope for the money.
I have used an older Millet Gold 6-25x55and have a new 2011 Millet Gold 6-25x56. The old one was outstanding (held 1/4 inch groups) and when it got crushed on a p-dog hunting trip by the airline, I immediately replaced it with a comparable Millet scope because it has so many great features and capabilities for the money. The new scope is usable but I'm not as ecstatic about it. It is not as clear as the old one. It is OK though and I can see p-dogs just fine at 500 yards but miss the clarity of the old scope. The mil-dot reticle is still excellent. My biggest concern is that my 100 yard groups immediately opened up about 1/4 inch (doubled) with the new scope. Its paralax doesn't seem to be anywhere near as good as a Leupold or what my old Millet happened to be. This means a reduction in accuracy and double the p-dog misses at 500 yards. I still feel comfortable shooting p-dogs at 500 yards with it but I would recommend considering the Vortex Viper or the Burris Fullfield in that price range. I use a Leupold 6.5-20 for very accurate shooting at that range and out to 1000 yards and would never consider the Millet to be in the same accuracy level under any circumstances. The accuracy and recoil tolerance (for 7mm-.375 H&H) is better with the Leupold for 1000 yard shooting but just fine with the Millet for small caliber (i.e. .223-.243) within 500 yards for p-dogs. I haven't shot a lot of Millets but based on my 2 scopes and comments I have read, my suspicion is that their accuracy is hit and miss while Leupold is always "hit". I haven't tried the other two scopes but they get very good reviews every time someone does an objective comparison in that price range, they get top ratings. For example, this month's Outdoor Life rated the Fullfield as a "2011 Great Buy". As long as you get a mil-dot reticle, you should be in good shape with any of these that you choose.

A MUST-HAVE tool for keeping files and folders in sync as well as powerful insurance against loss of valuable data. Winner of the SIC Award for 3 consecutive years, SIA nominee for the "Best Overall Application" & 2008 nominee for the European Epsilon Award.
Who can benefit from FolderMatch?
Everyone who maintains multiple copies of files or folders:
With users working at multiple locations, it's hard to keep all of the
computers current with the latest files and data. Files may change several times a day. How is the work coordinated on all of the various computers, making sure that all systems contain the most recent versions of all of the files? FolderMatch solves this problem. It even gives you the ability to examine the differences between Microsoft Word documents!
Whenever there are duplicate copies of files/folders across a network, there is always a risk that they may be out of sync. FolderMatch can eliminate this risk. No more painful inspections for missing files when setting up directories or applying file updates.
A common task for people working with CD duplication and replication is the verification that the image mastered is the same as the result of the
duplication. A tool that can compare files down to the byte level is
required. FolderMatch offers several byte-level comparison options - from
the industry-standard CRC to the advanced 160-bit Secure Hash Algorithm.
Do you have backups of your backups? Having a backup copy of a critical file can be a real lifesaver when your hard drive crashes or when your dog uses your floppy disk as a chew toy. FolderMatch can help you manage all of your backups.
Hate wasting hard disk space? People are amazed at how many duplicate files are on their computer and how much valuable disk space they take up. FolderMatch provides one of the fastest, most full-featured duplicate file finders in the industry.

Researchers have long wondered about the possible roles of junk DNA, long strings of genetic material we carry in our genomes that serve no readily apparent purpose when compared with the rest of our genome, which contains genes that code for protein and their associated regulatory regions. Now scientists at the University of Michigan Life Sciences Institute and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute have found that one kind of non-coding DNA, satellite DNA, has an essential function in keeping the genome together. This work has been reported in the journal eLife, and shows that satellite regions are not throwaway sequences, but are required to bundle chromosomes properly inside of the cell, which helps keep it alive.
When studying genes, scientists often look at a feature called conservation, which indicates how similar that gene is across different species. Usually, it’s assumed that genes that have a high degree of conservation have important biological roles. It has been found that many junk regions are in fact highly conserved, which was also shown in this study. The work is briefly described in the video.
The sequences under study, pericentromeric satellite DNA, are very repetitive sequences, accounting for a vast portion of the genome. It does not code for any proteins and had been thought of as an unstable and useless area, susceptible to disease or damage.
"But we were not quite convinced by the idea that this is just genomic junk," noted lead author Yukiko Yamashita, a professor of cell and developmental biology at the U-M Medical School. "If we don't actively need it, and if not having it would give us an advantage, then evolution probably would have gotten rid of it. But that hasn't happened."
To investigate the role of this DNA, Yamashita’s team wanted to remove it from cells and see how they reacted. But these sequences are really long and could not be simply cut or edited out of the genome entirely. To overcome that hurdle, they turned to a protein called D1, which binds to satellite DNA. D1 was deleted from the cells of one of genetics’ favorite model organisms, the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. The researchers observed that when they did that, the cells that develop into sperm or eggs, the germ cells of Drosophila, started to die.
Additional experiments showed that in the dying cells, micronuclei, tiny buds outside of the nucleus that contain pieces of the genome, were forming. Since the whole genome was no longer present in the nuclei of those cells, they died.
The scientists hypothesized that D1 binds to the satellite DNA, pulling all of it together in the nucleus. When D1 is unable to do so, the cell’s nucleus carries a genome with missing pieces, killing the cell.
"It's like forming a bouquet," explained Yamashita, who is also an HHMI investigator. "The protein has multiple binding sites, so it can bind onto multiple chromosomes and package them together in one place, preventing individual chromosomes from floating out of the nucleus."
Additional work replicated the findings. In mouse cells, a protein that binds satellite DNA was deleted, and those altered cells created micronuclei and died.
The researchers suggested that satellite DNA is therefore critical for the survival of cells across species.

On Wednesday (September 11), the BBC reported that the 18-year-old accidentally died from a fatal combination of cocaine and traces of Xanax and OxyContin.
According to the same BBC report, the teenager purchased cocaine the night before her death explaining, "In a statement, her GP Dr Paul Eulinger said the 18-year-old 'refused to give up drugs in the knowledge they could kill her… She was an individual who took drugs deliberately and has succumbed to their... effects accidentally.'"
The teen sadly passed away on March 13, 2019 after being found unresponsive by a friend.
The former One Direction singer, who is the eldest of his siblings, spoke out in April following his sister's death. While not directly mentioning his younger sister, the singer wrote an insightful message on how he plans to make the most of his life.
His younger sisters also honored Félicité through touching Instagram posts. "My precious sister. My heart is bleeding. I keep imagining and praying they have the wrong person. Not my sister, my best friend," 14-year-old Daisy wrote.
The death of Félicité comes two years after Tomlinson and his family lost their mother, Johannah Deakin, in 2016 to Leukemia. Tomlinson released the touching ballad "Two Of Us" just days before his sister's passing and has bravely performed it live a number of times.
Our thoughts are with Louis and his family.

Floriculture LED display
High efficiency and intensity for floriculture
AGRO-S radiates little heat, allowing it to approach the leaf, obtaining greater control over growing conditions.
The P11 spectrum maximizes red and blue lights by improving the absorption of chlorophyll A and B with a balance of green wavelengths that allows much deeper penetration of the canopy. It promotes photosynthesis at all stages, from propagation to flowering.
P18 spectrum used in floriculture produces a quick germination and drives a better result vegetative and flowering. It contains a little green, beneficial for the quality of the flowers.
The P60 spectrum offers artificial illumination similar to the spectral curve of sunlight, with a color temperature of 5600K optimized for daylight spectra and with color parameters of CR197.
