Today, in honor of the French holiday Bastille Day, July 14, 1789, I wanted to share music by a couple of the lesser-known French composers, Lili Boulanger (1893-1918) and Joseph Bologne (1745-1799). Thank you again to all my French listeners! After living in France, your country will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Check out the immigrant composer, Le Chevalier de Saint-George, who immigrated to France and even fought in the French Revolution! I reference his violin music in my novel A Change in Tune, as well as my short story “Brass at the Beach.” Bologne’s story reminds me somewhat of American founding father Alexander Hamilton, both immigrants who fought for freedom in their new countries.
I hope you get a chance to listen to these musical gems, and maybe even enjoy some fabulous French food! I’ll be eating at one of my favorite French restaurants to celebrate!

I want to read/write information from/to NT3H1101 periodically by Android after NT3H1101 is identified/selected by NFC reader. Could you advise us what procedure is easiest for this purpose?
I'm not sure how "NFC tag reader" app for Android works, but here is my understanding.
When NFCtag reader app sends HALT command after first successful read/write operation, I think NT3H1101 goes to HALT state which is described in Fig 5 of data sheet. If so, I think we can have a chance to read/write information again if NFC reader sends WUPA command from HALT state.
I can find similar questions on internet, but I'm still now sure if Android can support the periodic read/write operation without removing NFC tag from NFC reader.

The best Valentine's Day dates in London
Our top 6 date ideas for London this Valentine's Day
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, and London playing host to some of the world’s most famous attractions as well as countless food and drink hotspots, the capital has plenty of places perfect for first, fifth and hundredth dates

With the showcasing of new premiers, there is something new to see and enjoy running throughout the day and into the early evening.
Stroll into the heart of Soho, just a 10 minute detour from The Bloomsbury.

Even when there’s nothing to say, within this labyrinth of vintage stores and comedy theatres, there will always be something to discover.
For those quieter days when a picnic and a view is all the romance you really need, Hyde Park is not so far away, located just 10 minutes north of The Kensington hotel, the most iconic Royal Park is home to the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain, the Serpentine Gallery and is bordered by Kensington Palace, offering an endless expanse of green to stretch your legs.

Bottoms-up!
Located within The Marylebone hotel, 108 Brasserie is a modern bar brimming with a sizzling combination of cocktails, wines and spirits, why would you even want to leave the hotel?

Australians will be able to pick up a rapid antigen test for three viruses in one go, after it was approved by the Therapeutic Goods Association (TGA).
The device will be able to pick up COVID-19, influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), which is another contagious respiratory virus.
Like the COVID-19 tests, only one swap is needed and the results will appear in 15 minutes.
Manufacture Touch Biotechology's Steven Quinlan said they had a 98 per cent accuracy and sensitivity for the test.
"Within the next few months of releasing this test it will be checked again to see if they are still maintaining the level of accuracy," Quinlan said.
It can detect influenza A and B, which are the most common causes of flu in the country.
Data is showing cases of the flu are surging.
Experts say numbers are tracking the same path as 2019, which is one of the worst flu seasons on record.
"A test that can pick up all three will be a really big help in working to control all three viruses this year," infectious disease physician Paul Griffin said.
"I do think it's likely that we'll see all three viruses co-circulate in significant numbers this year," he said.
A single test will cost $17 and a five-pack will cost $64.
It will be available for everyone over the age of four in chemists, supermarkets and online over the next few weeks.

We’re first, second is so… sad
By Big City Metro Editor | [email protected]
This is not appearing in The Courier-Journal because if it were, it would be an exclusive! Not something you would read on WDRB’s website. We take exclusives very, very seriously at The CJ, because we are trying reestablish ourselves as the city’s preeminent, dominant newsgathering source. (There is some work to do on that, since a Gannett robot ejected my predecessor from the newsroom for focusing on the website, which is what he was told to do. Oh, and the paper had too many errors, although I don’t recall seeing many corrections. Anyway, that is going to happen when you lay off editors. And, of course, we will never win back those bitter dinosaurs who fondly recall the Binghams’ era, before they betrayed the city by selling to Gannett.)
Now, back to exclusives, and the dozens, nay — hundreds a week that we have. We were the first to report that U.S. Mitch McConnell had arrived back from Washington, D.C., for the congressional break. We were the first to report that Mayor Greg Fischer said something or other. And we were the first to report that a lawsuit, filed in a court for all to see, was, er… filed.
How do we know we were first? Because we were the first to post these facts online. We figure that if we jettison a fact into the Twittersphere, we are first (even if it has no context or background).
Yes, it has been a good first four months on the job. I got the editorship in a Gannett short-straw lottery, and was plucked from Wisconsin, where I oversaw 10 newsrooms, so I could come to Louisville to oversee just one. I told the staff I was going to be fully engaged in the newspaper.
He was impressed.
No, seriously, I said: “I don’t sit in an office … I sit in the middle of the newsroom.” Well, it can get lonely out in the middle of a newsroom that has suffered several rounds of layoffs. We’ve been hiring, but not editors… er, we call them coaches now, because there are so few, that is basically all they have time to do… but more about being first!
We now have a team that comes in at 6 a.m. to write about the latest WalletHub survey (we are the 15th fattest city!), whether “Jeopardy” featured a local band (MMJ!) or any hot click-bait topic (Brad’s wife got fired!), so we can capture your eyeballs at breakfast, before any real news erupts. We call it the “Now Team,” because it produces — now. Which is even better than being first. Because it is… uh, now.
We also are training the old, newsroom dogs new tricks, like the one who wrote about men who get vasectomies during March Madness so they have an excuse to sit on their, um… laurels with a bag of frozen peas on their, um… I pushed the story out on Facebook once it was filed, and, well… maybe I should have read it first (another first!) because… well, it explained that the vas deferns are “the little buddies that carry erectoplasm from a man’s baby factories to his blowhole …” [Ed. note: Not fake.] Sure, the story had some saucy language. Sure, it would not have passed what old-school editors call the oatmeal test: If a story makes you spit up your morning oatmeal, it should not have been printed. But The (new) CJ is not your hippy grandmother’s newspaper.
Anyway… we were first! Not like second-rate WDRB, which is second. A loser. Sad. What do I have against WDRB? (Other than it stole several of our great reporters.)
Well, there was that feckless, so-called exclusive interview one of its reporters had with Trump. It is exclusive only if it is a real interview. It seems the station agreed to not ask Trump about the Russia investigation. Or maybe the station was told just that Trump would not talk about it. We don’t know.
Either the reporter kept his word, per the agreement, or there was no agreement, and he lacked the baby factories to ask the hard questions, regardless of whether Trump would’ve answered. We chose to believe he lacked the factories to ask the hard questions. So we beat the bejesus out of WDRB for not meeting our unassailable journalistic standards. Plus, it was a softball interview. I bet the reporter and Trump snuggled and smoked cigarettes after.
Some, including that pesky Keith Stone at LEO, call our ongoing spat with WDRB “petty.” He questioned whether no interview at all is better than one with focused questions and follow-ups on important issues for Kentucky — and a sidebar that explained the restrictions in context of the Trump presidency. Heck! We would turn down an interview with God almighty himself if he demanded restrictions (Seven days, really?)
We don’t care what Stone thinks. All he has to worry about is publishing smut and stories about music. LEO can be first at that — but you heard it here, exclusively.
Crossfit, robot fighting and other obscure sports teams propose sport-specific stadiums be built with city money
While Louisville debates the pros and cons of building a soccer-specific stadium for Louisville City FC, several obscure sports teams attended the latest Metro Council meeting to plead for their own city-funded stadiums.
First to speak was the owner of a local CrossFit box, Brad Braggert, who said local CrossFits need an arena for its competitions.
“CrossFit has become too badass, and can no longer be contained in a gym,” said Braggert. “We need a gladiatorial style arena to compete in, because, just like the gladiators, we are slaves to repeatedly doing dumb shit that has a high risk of injury, and people think that is rad.”
Braggert asked for a multi-million dollar complex that resembled Rome’s Colosseum, but painted all black, because black is cooler, and with state of the art CrossFit equipment including large tires and sledgehammers.
Next up was xXxDragoonSlayerxXx, who was speaking on behalf of Louisville’s LARPer (Live Action Roleplaying) community.
“Uhh, just like the last speaker, I am also a badass,” said xXxDragoonSlayerxXx. “And we in the LARPing community, are tired of being ridiculed by onlookers as we conduct our extremely serious, epic adventures.”
He asked for a multi-billion dollar complex with live-size animatronics of dragons, trolls and other mythical creatures that even he couldn’t describe.
As the meeting continued on late into the night, the sports teams to make requests became increasingly obscure. They included “robot fighting,” “artistic roller skating” and “Quidditch.”
Like the proposal for the Louisville City FC stadium, the other proposals offered no concrete evidence of a return on investment for the community.
But Mayor Greg Fisher told LEO exclusively that since they sound cool, and people love sports, they will all likely get funded.
Councilman proposes ‘extreme surveillance’ to monitor ‘epidemic of gay sex’
A visibly flustered Councilman David James asked Louisville Metro Council last night to push forward an ordinance that would expand surveillance of what he claimed was an “epidemic of gay sex” in the community.
“It’s like Sodom and Gomorrah out there,” said James. “Everywhere I go, I see it. In the mall, at the movies, in my dreams. I can’t stop seeing gay sex everywhere.”
James began the push for this city ordinance after entering a gay-friendly health spa with an ID he claims to have found on the sidewalk and has since lost. James alleged that the spa was actually a “sex club,” and that he witnessed patrons having sex there.
“I’ve seen it, up close and personal,” James told the council. “And I think we need to expand our capacity for surveillance so that we can monitor this growing epidemic of gay sex in the community.”
James said that he would personally monitor the extensive system of cameras and microphones and review any recordings of gay sex captured by the system, citing his qualifications as a former law enforcement officer.
But James declined to elaborate on what he would do with the recordings after, or if any subsequent action would be taken at all. “Look, I haven’t worked out all of the details yet,” said James. “I just know that the city needs this — and I need this.”
The rest of the council was unanimous in its confusion and questioned James’ motives. Metro Council President David Yates even resorted to quoting the Adam Sandler film “Billy Madison” in his disapproval of James’ proposal.
“At no point in your rambling, incoherent proposal were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought,” Yates said.
After voting down the ordinance, council members said they would be open to a proposal supporting safer sex in the city or, perhaps, even better regulations for which businesses can open in which neighborhoods.
James was indignant. “I will continue to seek out gay sex wherever I can find it,” he said. “And while this council may have just made it more difficult for me to do that, I’ll never stop!”
Letters to the Editor
On social justice warriors are
‘habitual line-crossing zealots’
That Shane Peabody Powell column on social justice warriors was spot-on, but it hurt my feelings and made me self-reflective and stuff. Stop making us think so much and print more that we can agree on, please. (I did like trolling your Facebook page, because it made me think I can control what you publish.) —Solly Mhah
Y’all just proved my point. —Shane Peabody Powell
On editor’s note: then, why do you
keep reading me?
Aaron Yarmuth, you are a rich, privileged whiner. —Dick Wood
[Ed. note: Yup.]
On sunergos removing leo weekly
from its shops
How dare you bully Sunergos by responding to a social media debate you did not start, explaining the context for your paper’s removal, providing the timeline of events and underscoring that you respect the owners’ choice to run their business the way they want. You deprived me of my preconceived notion of what happened, which would have been based on reading others’ comments and on my unfounded biases. —Most Who Commented
)n cardinals not in the sweet sixteen
Maybe the team would do better if Coach Rick let players have their prostitutes back. Worked pretty well last time. —Andre McGee
On vapor — is it a sex club or spa?
No one cares. —Pretty Much Everyone
On leo pulling amiri king’s
You snowflake libtards felt what it was like to incur the wrath of the Amiri King nation. Now, give me back my LEO Weekly Readers’ Choice Award for Best Comedian! Or I will order my troll army to inundate your website and Facebook page with thousands of clicks that boost your numbers sky high… Hey… wait a minute.
—Tony Donovan Schork
On 1-star Yelp reviews
of Louisville attractions
That was the best story. I love it when your newspaper gratuitously makes fun of the city. I especially liked that you apparently did not read the Yelp review for the zoo, which you published and which called the zoo “ghetto.” Using click-bait for click bait! It’s so cute watching you try to figure out the internet. —Bullitt County Man
[Ed. note: That story ran April 18, 2016 in The Courier-Journal — not in LEO, if you can believe that.]
On churchill downs improvements
It is not an improvement to tear down the Twin Spires to build another zillionaire’s-row clubhouse. I don’t care if the spires will be projected on the side of the building. Don’t you make enough money? —All Of Louisville
Thorns & Roses
Nutz to you | Thorn
As if the Republicans could not reach further into our lives, after preaching their love for small government, the latest bill to pass the state legislature would require every vehicle to be equipped with blue Truck Nutz. Gov. Matt Bevin, who pushed the bill, said the precedent is Indiana, which requires each vehicle to have a tramp stamp and mullet.
Politicians in the mist | Absurd
We were amused when Mayor Greg Fischer tweeted a photo obviously taken while he was sitting on the can. But this week, he posted one that seems to have been taken from inside a sauna, with someone’s small orangish-colored hand and foot in the frame. Mr. Mayor, hire a professional photographer!
JBS, don’t hog all the fun! | Absurd
The decision to open the JBS Swift & Co. hog-slaughtering plant for tours seems dangerous. A spokesman for Butchertown’s odoriferous business said the self-guided tours are a way of appeasing residents, after disagreements about the smell of death that hangs over the neighborhood. “Of course, guests will exit through the gift shop, where they can buy pig blood elixir, a sow’s ear purse, play-at-home Hit the Jugular or The Repetitive Motion Injury Game and bacon with a ‘personality,’” a JBS spokesman said.
City cut off and pasta | Thorn
Kentucky’s Transportation Cabinet has renamed Spaghetti Junction as Fettuccine Junction, acknowledging the new, wider tangle of roads that cut off the city from the river. A spokesman for the 86-64 movement said about the decision: “They can eat a big bag of penne.”
Are you growing a tail? | Thorn
The Louisville Water Department has finally fessed up: Drinking from a polluted, industrial river is bad for your health, no matter how much gravel it filters through. Here’s mud in your third eye!
Jonathan Blue’s red balls | Rose
After taking grief for building a lot of flat spaces (read: parking lots), undeservedly-rich Louisvillian Jonathan Blue has awarded a $100,000 commission for two gigantic, red balls to be placed on the Great Lawn, reflecting his support of Cardinals basketball.

With a better keyboard, this machine would serve so many different needs. However, people who type for a living or who do a lot of typing for their personal use will want to look at another system. High end gamers will need dedicated graphics, something this machine doesn’t give them. However, most people will think this machine gives them enough power for the average tasks, for entertainment and even some light pro-level media creation purposes.

Woolworths is OzHarvest’s national food rescue partner, and biggest food donor, providing over half of the organisation’s rescued food, and supporting over 1800 charities. Collected from more than 550 stores across the country, 75% of the food is said to be fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy, meat, and fish.
Since 2014, Woolworths and OzHarvest claim to have saved 18,000 tonnes of food from ending up in landfill, subsequently preventing 118,543 tonnes of CO2-emissions from damaging the environment.
OzHarvest founder and CEO Ronni Kahn says Woolworths has been an incredible supporter, right from the early days.
“Over the last eight years, we’ve worked together to improve both the quality and quantity of rescued food, to ensure the people we feed have regular access to fresh and nutritious produce every day,” she says. “My heartfelt thanks goes to the entire Woolworths team – we simply could not do what we do without them.”
Woolworths Group Chief Marketing Officer Andrew Hicks says as today’s fresh food people, the retailer’s goal is to make seasonal and nutritious food accessible to all Australians.
“Our longstanding partnership with OzHarvest allows us to not only provide surplus fresh food to Australians in need, but also help the environment by reducing potential food waste,” he says.
“The 50 million meals milestone is a testament to the dedication of the OzHarvest and Woolworths teams in their care for fresh food and for our Australian communities and proves a little good everyday can make a big difference.”

“‘Another’ is the first track on Greylag’s tremendously appealing self-titled debut (due out October 14), and it sets the tone for the record’s catchy and briskly strummed mini epics… the widescreen majesty of this music is decidedly rock.”
A little less than a month after announcing their eponymous debut album, Portland-based Greylag share the new video for lead single “Another.” Premiering via PASTE this morning, the video captures the trio’s live performance from a recent stop in their hometown, and for those of you have yet to get a taste of their live sound, watch the video above or on Youtube. Like what you see? The band has got a string of shows supporting The Whigs coming up in October. Full list of dates below.
“Greylag have that special something. The Portland trio plays a virtuosic Led Zeppelin III strain of folk-rock that could easily… win them fans across many musical subcultures.”
Today we are extremely proud to announce Portland-based trio Greylag has joined the Dead Oceans family. We first got a glimpse of the band at this year’s SXSW and have been jamming to their tunes on full blast here at Dead Oceans HQ ever since. Today, we we are excited to announce Greylag‘s self-titled debut full-length LP, Greylag, out October 14th, 2014 on Dead Oceans. Recorded with Phil Ek (Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes, Modest Mouse, The Shins) at Seattle’s Avast Studio, Greylag is a followup to the band’s 2012 seven-track EP The Only Way To Kill (Ninth Street Opus).
Greylag is composed of Andrew Stonestreet, Daniel Dixon, and Brady Swan, three vastly talented musicians with incredibly different yet cohesive musical backgrounds. As for their name, the band explains “It’s a wild goose, from which all domestic geese originate, so it’s the first survivor, and it’s still wild, and doing things its own way – the ‘lag’ part refers to it being the last bird to migrate. It sits back and watches. We love the connotation.”
Stay tuned for more details and tour dates to be announced. Click read more Read the rest of this entry »

Childhood Allergy - An Introduction
Childhood allergy is now a significant problem for children and parents across the country. What in the past may have seemed a minor irritation is now accepted as having the potential to be a debilitating condition. 50% of children in the UK have allergies, and for those affected this can mean a daily battle of trying to keep symptoms under control.
Allergy is when the body has a reaction to a protein (e.g. foods, insect stings, pollens) or other substance (e.g. antibiotic). These substances are called allergens, and for most people they are harmless. Common things that children are allergic to include: food (e.g. peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat and fish), pollens from tree and grasses, house dust mite and insect stings.
Allergic symptoms can affect the nose, throat, ears, eyes, airways, digestion and skin in mild, moderate or severe form. These symptoms can go largely unnoticed until a child has been suffering with the problem for some time.
The consequences of suffering with one, or several, of these symptoms every day can cause a child to struggle with their schooling and other general abilities. Concentration levels can be reduced from lack of sleep, or simply from having the symptoms.
When a child first shows signs of allergy it is not always clear what has caused the problem, or even if they have had an allergic reaction, since some allergic symptoms can be similar to other common childhood conditions. However, if the allergic reaction is severe, or if the symptoms continue to re-occur, it is important that their symptoms are investigated. The most important fact to remember is that if a child does develop an allergy, with early diagnosis and treatment of this condition, it will be easier to manage the symptoms and help minimise their effects on the child's daily life.

Report: Grand Jury Meets on Arenas; NBA Watches, Waits
PHILADELPHIA -- The NBA remained in a wait-and-see mode a day after Gilbert Arenas spoke to investigators from the Washington, D.C. police and the U.S. attorney's office, then admitted bringing four unloaded guns to Verizon Center last month and apologizing for his "misguided effort to play a joke'' on Wizards teammate Javaris Crittenton.
A grand jury was convened in D.C. Superior Court on Tuesday, however, according to The Washington Post, and prosecutors have begun presenting evidence. The paper reported that it would be an ongoing process, and that it was possible charges could be filed in the case by the end of this week.
Arenas started Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers at Wachovia Center, and Flip Saunders was coaching. A published report earlier Tuesday had said that D.C. police would question him that day in the incident between Arenas and Crittenton Dec. 21. "I'm in Philadelphia,'' Saunders said, straight-faced, an hour and a half before the game. Saunders was also with the team at its shootaround this morning.
The same report, on TMZ.com, said that Wizards president Ernie Grunfeld was scheduled to meet with authorities this week.
Arenas' only comment before the game, as he walked onto the court to warm up, was, "The whole story will come out soon.'' Arenas was booed when he was introduced before the game and every time he touched the ball in the first half.
ShareThe NBA has refrained from commenting or making any decisions about the incident on Dec. 21; when asked Tuesday about Arenas' Monday meeting with law enforcement officials and his statement, a league spokesman referred to an earlier statement that said, in part, "We are monitoring (it) closely. We are not taking any independent action at this time.''
In recent years, the league has waited until legal proceedings have been completed before taking disciplinary action in cases involving off-court incidents. When Charlotte guard Stephen Jackson, then with the Indiana Pacers, fired a gun outside an Indianapolis club in October 2006, he was not suspended until the first seven games of the following season, after a June 2007 plea to felony criminal recklessness. That suspension was the longest handed out by the NBA for a gun-related violation.
The previous season, 2006-07, the NBA and players union agreed on a tougher gun policy, strictly prohibiting guns on team or NBA property, while conducting league business or representing the league -- but not putting restrictions on the players legally owning firearms.
However, Arenas admitting to bringing the guns to the locker room adds an element that was not present in previous NBA decisions. Arenas' statement, through the lawyers who represented him with local police and federal investigators, as well as the most recent published accounts of the encounter seem to exonerate Crittenton; it appears that not only did the players not draw guns on each other, Arenas is the only one of the two who had guns in the building. But other parts of his statement might give the NBA enough reason to take action even if charges are not filed, or if only misdemeanor charges are brought.
Of the guns, Arenas said in the statement, "I brought them without any ammunition into the District of Columbia, mistakenly believing that the recent change in the D.C. gun laws allowed a person to store unloaded guns in the District ... Contrary to some press accounts, I never threatened or assaulted anyone with the guns and never pointed them at anyone. Joke or not, I now recognize that what I did was a mistake and was wrong. I should not have brought the guns to D.C. in the first place, and I now realize that there's no such thing as joking around when it comes to guns -- even if unloaded.''
The NBA also declined to comment publicly on the Rev. Al Sharpton's revelation Monday that he had spoken to commissioner David Stern about the Arenas situation, and was calling for a meeting of players, team executives and community leaders "to deal with the violent imagery being perpetrated by players,'' according to a statement from Sharpton.
The Wizards, meanwhile, refused comment on anything involving the Arenas investigation, including the reports of Saunders and Grunfeld being scheduled for interviews. Near the home locker room at Wachovia Center, however, 76ers coach Eddie Jordan -- who coached Arenas with the Wizards for parts of five seasons -- made brief remarks about him, and still managed to step on a verbal landmine.
"When I think of Gilbert, he's a heck of a three-point shooter, he drives to the basket, he's an assassin on the floor, he's a real good player,'' Jordan said. "And that's all I'm concerned about with Gilbert Arenas.'' Seconds later, he re-thought one adjective -- assassin -- and added, "Maybe I shouldn't have used that word. 'On the floor.' "


- Multi-year agreement with Ravensberger Schmierstoffvertrieb GmbH
- Logo presence on the number plate surfaces of the production-based GT sports cars
- Junior race series to feature on seven race weekends – SPORT1 to broadcast live
RAVENOL is a new DTM Trophy series’ partner. Ravensberger Schmierstoffvertrieb GmbH and the DTM organisation ITR have reached a multi-year agreement concering the official lubricant partnership. On the production-based GT sports cars in the DTM Trophy, the RAVENOL logo will be visible on the front and rear number plate surfaces as well as during prize-giving ceremonies and press conferences.
RAVENOL has been established in motorsport for many years and is involved as a technical partner of many international and national race series as well as numerous race teams, also on the DTM platform. In direct cooperation with manufacturers, the company, based in Werther in Westfalia, is developing specific lubricants especially for those engines and transmissions that meet the high requirements and withstand the huge loads in motorsport. Ravensberger Schmierstoffvertrieb GmbH has been producing high-performance lubricants under the RAVENOL brand name since 1946 already.
“I am very much looking forward to the cooperation with ITR within the DTM Trophy. Like in DTM, RAVENOL partners are racing with competition cars of various brands in a much-noticed race series here. Therefore, we are supporting the platform and are supplying our teams with high-performance lubricants,” RAVENOL’s motorsport director Martin Huning says.
Successfully introduced last season, the DTM Trophy is held on seven weekends with two races each. The venue for the season opener is the Royal Park of Monza in Italy from 18-20 June . For the first time, SPORT1 will be broadcasting all the DTM Trophy races live. Moreover, next to the races, the practice and qualifying sessions can also be watched live worldwide on the grid.dtm.com online portal.
“We are really delighted to welcome RAVENOL as the official lubricant partner of our junior race series DTM Trophy. In the process, the agreed longer-term cooperation underlines the confidence in the DTM platform. We are very grateful for that,” says Benedikt Böhme, managing director, ITR GmbH. “DTM as the top series, DTM Electric as an innovation product, DTM Trophy as well as DTM Esports and DTM Classic are providing multi-faceted added value and new ways of presentation for every partner, also for RAVENOL.”

Since the 1970s African market women have been in the spotlight, owing to a focus on the “informal economy”. Scholarly interest in female entrepreneurship has since also extended to historical perspectives on regional trade networks, above all in West Africa. The distinctions among African women (whether as slaves, peasants, farmers, traders, healers, or royalty) have fostered a plurality of perspectives on their lives and careers. Drawing on archival and published sources, this essay examines how female entrepreneurship evolved along the West African coast from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. It demonstrates that despite “proto-colonial” incursions and a notable male bias in reporting, the skillful management of social and cultural resources allowed some women to build networks that left a visible and lasting legacy in West Africa’s history.

I’m hungry for beef tacos tonight, plus my son has a wrestling tournament after school that will last God knows how long, SO I’m cooking a beef brisket with chipotle chiles in a slow cooker. I’m using a recipe from “What’s Gaby Cooking” modified slightly – I’m not putting in any molasses. I have some Guinness in the fridge left over from holidays and was tempted to add that, but I wasn’t sure if it would make the broth bitter and waste the entire brisket. Will test that another time on smaller cut of meat.
We will be eating this thing all week – it is a full brisket (5+ lbs) as that is all the butcher had in where I shop. Once the meat is cooked totally tender and shredded, I spoon it plus some of the onions and chiles onto a flour tortilla.
I put out chopped cabbage, crumbled Mexican cheese, guacamole, and salsa to go with. Cabbage has more heft and crunch than lettuce and will hold its own with the brisket. I think lettuce is OK on ground beef tacos, but is too wimpy for brisket. The whole process is so easy – I sliced and sauteed the onions and garlic this morning, then stirred them into the slow cooker along with the chiles and all of the spices. The brisket is seared in the same skillet and then stuffed (did I mention it is HUGE?) into the slow cooker and left to cook on low for however long it is until we get home tonight.
Way easy! Plus the house smells fabulous all day long with all of those spices!
New year – new commitments!
I’m a believer in New Year’s resolutions. To be more accurate, I’m a believer in ONGOING resolutions. I read once that it takes 21 days of action to make something a habit in your life. So, I’m constantly assessing all aspects of my life and tweaking. No draconian measures, just constant evaluation and improvement.
Lowe’s – No More….
I am writing to let you know that I will no longer shop at Lowe’s due to your recent pulling of advertising from the TV show “Muslim in America”.
I don’t watch that show, nor anything else on that channel, but the fact that you let your advertising policy be dictated by a group of ignorant self-righteous bullies is ridiculous.
The Florida Family Association has every right to express their opposition and to voice their opinions, but Lowe’s should not feel compelled to defer to them.
I hope the Florida Family people spend enough at your stores to make up for all of the other customers you are driving away by your recent cowardly short-sighted actions.
And I must say that if Lowe’s actions were NOT in reaction to the Florida Family Association, but just a reflection of your own corporate values (or lack thereof), then that is even worse than cowardly.
I have spent $XXXX at Lowe’s in the past two years. I realize that the amount we have spent is no big deal in your overall corporate picture, but from this point on, it will be ZERO!
How’s your PC?
That’s pimento cheese, NOT political correctness, for any non-southerners. It is a southern staple. Served on sandwiches, with crackers, and shockingly (to me anyway) scooped on top of hamburgers, it is a southern staple. Primarily composed of cheese and mayo, this is not a food for a nutrition fiend. I am very picky about what I eat, but as I’m a total gym rat and work out ALL the time, I think there is room in my diet for the occasional “junk”. Sorry to you southern people to deem your PC as nutrional junk, but that’s basically it. Anyway, I LOVE Carrie’s Hot Pimento Cheese. It is from a kitchen in Charleston and it is totally addictive. It has Tabasco sauce and cayenne pepper mixed in to give it some zest and takes it out of the “boring” category. You can find it in Charlotte at Reid’s Fine Foods on Selwyn Ave. Apparently, if you order biscuits to accompany, you can buy it online from www.calliesbiscuits.com

I do make the sandwiches on whole grain bread as a concession – that does keep it out of the total junk food category – or maybe I’m just justifying my craving!
The garden IS growing!
I’m sitting here in the 92 degree weather like a moron looking at my gorgeous little garden. I THINK, just for the
moment, I have the upper hand on the beetles that were devastating the eggplant. I certainly hope so, it’s about time for those to start producing. Thanks to NEEM oil and thanks to Matt Kokenes of microfarm Organic Gardens for turning me onto the stuff, the plants are looking much repaired.
The House Hunt…………..
I spent the afternoon looking at houses. Not a bad afternoon; it was actually lots of fun. Visited eight places – five warrant a second visit, the other three, I NEVER want to see again. I feel a lot like Goldilocks – most of the houses are too big or too small, still looking for JUST right size.
I feel for the people who have to keep their houses clean while on the market; that is absolute MISERY! You run around, cleaning everything, hiding the dog and the dirty laundry and then go out and drive around the block while people come through and pick EVERYTHING to pieces. People will complain about the DUMBEST things! It is SO hard to take the criticism after a while. You have this house that you have lived in, loved, taken care of, and people bitch about the landscaping, the kitchen, too may rooms, not enough bathrooms, too much yard, not enough yard, etc. etc. etc. It is really hard! On the one hand, you hope for somebody to come along who will love your house as much as you did and that it will be the perfect space for them. On the other hand, COME ON! – a lot of the complaints can be easily remedied if you have half a brain. The worst is people who complain about the paint color or the shrubs in the front yard. I firmly believe that people who are too stupid to re-paint a room or replace some shrubbery are just too stupid to own a house in the first place.
So, with that, I did not dump any houses off the list because of PAINT colors. The ones I nixed had:
1) kid’s graffiti all over the walls in the living room – can’t you clean that up? Can’t you tell your kids NOT to write on the living room walls? Who’s the adult here?? It just made the whole house seem grungy and unkempt.
2) a floor plan that was like a maze in Alice in Wonderland – I may have nightmares about that tonight.
3) eight foot ceilings. I am a fixer-upper and believe that just about anything can be remedied, EXCEPT, there’s just not a lot you can do about eight foot ceilings.
So – it is back later this week for round two with the remaining five houses to show the spousal unit and younger offspring. UNLESS these sellers all get offers in the meantime, which is a very real possibility around here right now…………………


Jonathan Papelbon: ‘We have to start finding our identity’
|09.18.11 at 9:29 am ET|
After the Red Sox’ 4-3 loss to the Rays Saturday, Jonathan Papelbon explained that, with 11 regular season games remaining, now is the time the Sox must make their move.
“I think every game from here on out we have to start sending messages, not only to other teams but to our own team, and start getting that confidence flow as a team,” the closer said. “If we can do that at the right time, that’s all we can ask for.”
Papelbon also offered another priority for the Red Sox as they head into the last 1 1/2 weeks of the regular season, ahead in the Wild Card race by three games.
“We have to start finding our identity, and the only way we’re going to do that is play one out, one play at a time, and gain confidence with each play,” Papelbon explained. “And if we can find that identity and peak at the right time, we’ll be unstoppable.
Thus far in September, the Red Sox are 4-12, having been out-scored by their opponents, 100-85 while making 15 more errors than the other team (15-7).
The last three times the Red Sox made the postseason, they never experienced losing skids like this one in September. In 2007, they did go through a four-game losing streak in the middle of the month, but finished September at 16-11. In ’08, the Sox’ mark in the regular season’s final month was 16-10, with the team finishing out the ’09 campaign at 15-13, having lost six in a row before closing out the regular season with a four-game win streak.
“I think we’re close,” Papelbon said. “The whole puzzle isn’t put together because we still have 40 guys in here. So, we’ll see.”

It was 8:30 PM, and I found myself parked up on the curbside of a freeway off-ramp, an hour away from Brisbane city which was my intended destination for the night. Things were not going to plan.
10 minutes before this, I had noticed that something had shifted. I was 6 hours into this roadtrip from Gladstone — Brisbane and the scenery in front of me was different. It was the coolant temperature indicator on the car’s dashboard and the fact that it was reading off the scale, all the way to its maximum.
“Maybe the temperature sensor has finally given up,” I tried to reassure myself. Though, as I checked the rearview mirrors, the white smoke I was leaving behind me as a wake made it very, very difficult to have high conviction about this.
It was like a James Bond scene, except there was no command executed to smoke screen the cars that were trailing behind me.
“How much time have I got?” was the next question that came to mind. I knew that I had to take action urgently and that this was only going to be a very small window before things would go really wrong. As if on some mystical queue, the car’s “check engine” prompt appeared. The timing could not have been any better.
I first had to get the car off the fast flowing stream of the freeway, to find the next exit off-ramp in order to stop somewhere, anywhere, and figure out what the heck was going on.
I could sense that the car was starting to struggle, strange sounds were being produced from the engine bay and the throttle was reacting strangely. This was not a good place to be, for the car or my sanity.
I took the very first left turn that appeared and parked on the very first opening I could find on the left hand side of the road. As soon as the car had stopped, all the warning lights had beamed on the dash, almost like a final salute before the engine came to a rest.
“It is all happening now,” I muttered to myself.
As I got out of warmth and security of the car and stepped into the wind and the nondescript off-ramp, I was worried about what I was about to find next.
True to its survival instinct, the mind started to manifest a million “what-if” scenarios.
During this time, I kept myself occupied by setting the car up for further inspection. I first collected some tools from the boot, then the bonnet was popped and lifted up, revealing a slightly sweet scented glycol coolant white mist that seemed to have materialise out of every nook and cranny.
At some point, I gently nudged the focus of the mind towards the mission of determining, first, ‘what is the problem?’
The self talk then became “Let’s figure out what the problem is first, before jumping right into the worst case scenarios, okay?” At this moment, I was able to regain a sense of calm and clarity about what I had to do next.
I have owned this particular car for 3 years and have spent countless hours learning about it through tinkering, mostly with the aim of replacing worn out or broken parts. But none of that prior experience was going to help me in speeding things up — this was a new problem I had not encountered before previously.
The first thing to do was to have a look and observe.
The top-down view from the engine bay did not have much information to offer, what was visible were some random globules of bright green coolant sprayed on some of the steering column components, but I would have to get underneath to get closer to where the source of the problem might be.
After jacking the car up, there was more information revealed:
Next, I went up to the engine bay again to check the coolant fill cap and the hoses that lead to-and-from it. Usually, a good rule of thumb to check whether there is coolant flowing in the right places without opening the fill cap (which should not be done with a hot engine) is to squeeze these hoses and feel for their ‘fullness’. They came up empty.
“Ah. Could it really be such a simple error? That it was just a matter of running out of coolant?”
I then looked up where the nearest petrol station might be. It was late, and the go-to automotive shops would be closed at that time of the night. The search results returned 500m.
Without any coolant, I knew I could not push the car very far at all before overheating and having to turn off again.
I chose to wing it. The car sounded like it was on its last legs, feeling unresponsive and its random shuddering. The machine definitely was not happy that I was punishing it like that.
It never fails to amaze me how resilient and robust mechanical systems can be. There is always a margin to play with, a zone that lies beyond where you think the system can cope with, but it soldiers on nevertheless. I think that there is something beautiful and awe-inspiring in that.
The 500m drive was only a few minutes long, but was highly nerve racking. Eventually, the car and I arrived to the crisp, white ceiling lights of the busy petrol station.
“There was no way to hide my mistakes from the rest of the world now.”
I made a straight beeline for the station’s entrance and bought a 5 litre bottle of coolant for $40.
“Shit, that’s expensive. But what is more expensive? The coolant? Or a tow into Brisbane tomorrow morning after a rough sleep in the car in the middle of nowhere?” The choice was easy then.
The bonnet came up again, and the first streams of coolant that touched the engine evaporated almost instantly, billowing like a white volcano out of the filling port. After it settled, I kept pouring and pouring and pouring until the bottle was ran empty. All of the 5 litres was in, but the job was not yet finished.
Another $40 for 5 more litres. Between pours I kept a hawk’s eye on the underbelly of the engine, hoping for the best but expecting the worst — which would have been to see all of the green fluid I was pouring in leak its way through and onto the ground. But I had a little luck on my side, it was all holding in.
I ran the engine and continued to pour, the coolant temperature indicator needle was back to its normal position — a great sign. No leaks on the ground, and then the coolant reservoir was completely full. Okay. Progress.
I gently pull the car out of the petrol station and found my way back onto the fast flowing freeway.
The remainder of the drive towards my final destination for the night was uneventful for the car — the best possible scenario I could hope for. Whereas I was on edge the whole time, ready to pull another pit stop if need be.
We had finally arrived at the accommodation by 9:30PM and I was glad to find a resting place for the car for the night.
The next day, I realised that there was something that continued to bug me about what had happened.
I had a feeling that the problem that led to the symptoms of no coolant/high engine temperature was still unresolved.
The original hypothesis that the coolant reservoir had evaporated to very low levels, since it has been awhile since the last service interval, is technically possible but the probability of it being completely empty struck as odd.
After opening up the fill cap, I noticed that the coolant levels had dropped slightly since last night. I ran the engine and checked for leaks again.
Then, there were more clues.
There was a slow drip of green fluid happening away from the water pump section of the engine. At least it was not the pump!
Eventually, after some more time spent looking and narrowing down on where the root cause might be, it turned out to be a small rip in a coolant hose.
This was how the car survived the hour-long drive on the previous night. The drip was probably not bad enough for the car to leak out the entire reservoir of coolant.
Knowing this, I drove the car to the nearest automotive store to get an off-the-shelf replacement hose for it and fitted it right in the public carpark where I had parked.
In his book ’12 Rules for Life’, Jordan Peterson articulates about the underlying mechanisms behind the process of ‘seeing’ or ‘detecting’ problems.
We assume that we see objects or things when we look at the world, but that’s not really how it is. Our evolved perceptual systems transform the interconnected, complex multi-level world that we inhabit not so much into things per say as into useful things… this is the transformation of the near-infinite complexity of things through the narrow specification of our purpose…
We perceive not them, but their functional utility and in doing so, we make them sufficiently simple for sufficient understanding… Absent that, we drown in the complexity of the world.
- by Jordan Peterson in 12 Rules for Life
He explains that we humans do not really perceive material objects for what they are, as much as the utility or purpose that they serve for us.
A computer being a useful tool to connect to the internet and create blogs.
A car being a useful tool to transport ourselves from point A to B.
Our perception of an object gets tuned in on its ‘usefulness’ as opposed to being aware of the multiple moving parts that make up the object.
And then the day comes when the object no longer behaves as expected, when its utility, its efficacy in fulfilling our desires, stops working. It is within these moments of chaos that our perception is forced to zoom out and consider the whole reality of what is in front of us.
This happened for me at 8:30PM on that night when I found myself nearly stranded on that freeway off-ramp.
What was originally a crisis, of the machine not working as it should and not serving its purpose, evolved into an adventure of sorts. A mission to conquer, one small step at a time.
If you knew of all of what was going to happen, would it really be called an adventure?


Creating Sustainable Communities of Choice
At Elm City Communities/Housing Authority of New Haven (ECC/HANH), we are not strictly focused on housing. While housing is extremely important, it is not the only work we do nor the only work it takes to create better lives for each and every resident.
Elm City Communities/Housing Authority of New Haven and New Haven Public Schools have been selected as Inaugural Member of The Bridges Collaborative – a Nationwide Initiative to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in education. The first-of-its-kind collaboration connects 55 school and housing groups from 21 states, covering 3.5 million children, and represents the most significant grassroots effort focused on school integration in decades.
Meeting people’s needs takes one major thing – equity. We not only strive to be an equitable organization, we are making the partnerships and doing the work to make it happen. This year, we have partnered with consultants from Co-Creating Effective & Inclusive Organizations (CEIO) to go through trainings to increase our internal and external equity capacities.
CEIO will help us create and implement an agency equity plan that will be based on their guiding values of conscious use of power as individuals and organizations, co-learning/teaching in communities of practice, whole systems transformation, inviting, listening, and honoring people’s stories, and through justice from equitable sharing of power throughout the community.
Our strive towards equity also includes our partnership with The Bridges Collaborative through The Century Foundation and New Haven Public Schools (NHPS) to create more equitable outcomes for our children. For too long, the access, opportunities, and outcomes for students has been extremely contingent on things as subjective as where their homes are located. This initiative works to advance racial and socioeconomic integration and equity so that a student’s location does not determine their success.
CEIO’s Guiding Values:
- Conscious Co-Creation – conscious use of power as individuals and as organizations
- Co-learning/teaching in communities of practice
- Whole systems transformation
- Inviting, listening, honoring people’s stories
- Justice – equitable sharing of power throughout the community
The housing patterns that we see today are the intentional result of a long history of racist policy. CT remains one of the most segregated states in the country due to the combined impact of years of discriminatory governmental housing policy, banking practices, and local land use decisions. These aspects are upheld through exclusionary practices and taxation policies that we are adamantly taking action to reverse.
ECC/HANH’s Inclusive CT is an initiative for housing policy reform that seeks to blatantly name and demand the needed policy changes on the local, state, and federal levels to eliminate inequities and replace them with opportunities.
Learn more about each policy reform within Inclusive CT that we are fighting to see implemented.
Elm City Communities-Housing Authority of New Haven (ECC-HANH) maintains a close working relationship with our local, state and federal elected officials, which increases resources and strengthens collaborative efforts and partnerships as we move to build a better community.
We are continually monitoring the trends and emerging issues that could impact the families and individuals that we assist by; creating and preserving affordable communities of choice; providing rental assistance and opportunities for greater self-sufficiency.
