President Obama squeezed in for a "selfie sandwich" with science aficionados Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson at The White House Friday.
Tyson, an astrophysicist, tweeted the photo of the threesome attending the inaugural White House Film Festival for students.
Between screenings, "the science guy" Nye Instagrammed it with the caption, "What an honor. And we even pulled off "The Presidential Selfie" (!!)"
Obama stirred Twitter in December for taking a "selfie" at Nelson Mandela's memorial service with British Prime Minister David Cameron and Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt.
The image of the world leaders’ snapshot ignited a flash of social media reactions, inspiring the hashtag #selfiesatfunerals on Twitter.

OSCODA, MI — Michigan health officials have shrunk the perimeter of an Iosco County advisory area where hunters shouldn’t eat deer meet due to toxic PFAS contamination near the former Wurtsmith Air Force Base in Oscoda.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) announced on Thursday, Sept. 2 that a “Do Not Eat” advisory perimeter around Clark’s Marsh was shrinking to a three-mile radius around the marsh from the previous five-mile radius set in 2018.
The advisory area is now just under 31 square miles.
“As we have now gathered additional data about deer, PFAS levels and their proximity to Clark’s Marsh, we have updated our health advisory,” said Dr. Joneigh Khaldun, chief medical executive at DHHS. “We will continue to monitor PFAS levels in wildlife to help protect the health and safety of Michiganders who hunt and fish in this area.”
The announcement comes ahead of hunting season in Michigan. Statewide archery season for deer begins Oct. 1 and firearm season begins Nov. 15.
Oscoda deer analysis began in spring 2018 and resulted in an advisory after a deer close to Clark’s Marsh was found with elevated PFOS levels in its muscle tissue.
The state says it tested 44 deer in 2020 from around the marsh, which is an Au Sable River wetland adjacent to the old firefighting foam training area at the former air base.
According to an April report recommending the reduction, deer living closer to the marsh showed higher levels of PFOS, an individual PFAS compound, in their livers. One deer was found with PFOS at 82.6 parts-per-billion (ppb) in its muscle tissue and 2,970-ppb in its liver.
According to the report, “only a single deer more than two miles from Clark’s Marsh had detectable PFOS in a muscle sample, indicating that deer more than two miles away are unlikely to have detectable PFOS in muscle.”
Report a noted that the amount of meat a single deer can yield factored into the advisory decision.
“A single deer may result in enough venison for a family to eat for most of the year. This is very different from fish consumption where people eat two fish filets from one fish and multiple fish from a waterbody. Taken together, and including other factors (...), understanding the variation of PFAS levels in the population is more challenging with deer than with fish.”
The highest concentration of PFOS in deer tissue found to date is 547-ppb, in 2018. The state uses 300-ppb as an action level for an advisory in deer tissue.
A ‘Do Not Eat’ advisory for all fish and aquatic or semi-aquatic wildlife taken from Clark’s Marsh remains in place. This includes mammals like muskrats, amphibians, mollusks, reptiles, and arthropods like crayfish.
In addition, DHHS says people should not eat organs from any fish, deer or other wild game in the state because many chemicals, including PFAS, can accumulate in the organs of wildlife.
The Air Force contaminated Oscoda area surface waters like the marsh by using PFAS-based firefighting foam for years at Wurtsmith before the base closed in 1993. The contamination was discovered by the state in 2010. The Air Force installed a groundwater treatment system near the old fire training area in 2014 and is expanding that system to begin capturing more of the plume entering the marsh next year.
The Clark’s Marsh remediation system is one of two interim cleanups the Air Force is building at the base. The other would capture plumes entering Van Etten Lake, where the chemicals are causing toxic surface water form to accumulate on a public beach and private shorelines.
On Wednesday, Democratic U.S. Sens. Gary Peters, Debbie Stabenow and U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee, sent the Air Force a letter urging compliance with state rules limiting PFAS discharge into water bodies and calling the proposed lake cleanup “insufficient” to address the problem.
Public comment on the cleanup plans ends Friday.
The state of Michigan has said numerous such groundwater treatment systems will be necessary to adequately address all the PFAS contamination at the base.
On Aug. 24, the National Wildlife Federation and Need Our Water (NOW), a local activist group, released a report faulting both the Air Force and the state of Michigan for the pace and adequacy of cleaning efforts in Oscoda. The report criticized the state’s response as chronically “slow, opaque, and ineffective.”
“Because its attempts to push back on the Air Force’s positions have been weak or unavailing, the state has generally failed to use the strict PFAS cleanup standards that it developed over the past few years to its advantage,” report authors wrote.

In recent days, there have been rumors about the two big giants in Serie A, Juventus and Napoli, competing to get the signature of midfielder Lazar Samardzic playing for Udinese.
However, the latest information from journalist Daniele Longo said that Napoli is preparing to complete this deal when They have reached an agreement with Samardzic on a 5-year contract with a salary of 2.5 million euros per season. and the official offer will be sent to Udinese early next week.
Currently, the Serbian midfielder has 2 goals and 2 assists for the home team Bluenergy Stadium, but the relationship between Samardzic and head coach Gabriele Cioffi has completely broken down, causing the 21-year-old player to firmly want to leave. right in the next winter transfer window.
Sources from Sky Italia add that both Juventus and Napoli have been in contact with Udinese but Partenopei boss Aurelio de Laurentiis has a very good relationship with Samardzic’s parent club so they are confident of a deal. between the two sides can soon be reached.

Gabi Sklar Works Through Toxic Relationships In ‘Thank God’ (Review)
Acoustic guitar lies in the gooey pop center. Gabi Sklar’s new song “Thank God” possesses an indie spirit, dressed up with haunting background vocals and a slick pop vocal line. “You took my sunshine, turned it to rain / Coming in hot like a hurricane,” she sings. “Doing it over and over again / I’ll never be the same.”
The breakup, it seems, is a double-edged sword. While her ex wreaked absolute havoc, it also comes with the calm that always arrives after a raging thunderstorm. Written with Anton Göransson, Isabella Sjöstrand, and Marqueze Parker, the sweeping ballad details “the end of two toxic relationships: one was the relationship I was in at the time, and the other was the relationship I had with myself,” she tellsSweety High. “It felt like a breath of fresh air to end this period of my life, address what the reality of my situation was, and begin the process of healing that relationship with myself.”
Admittedly, Sklar had a ton of “unresolved feelings” she needed to process. Only writing allowed for such catharsis. “I realized that when you bury those feelings, they still never really go away,” she adds. On that particular day in the studio, Sklar and her collaborators were writing a different song altogether. “When I finally took a break after five hours and went to the bathroom, I came up with the hook for what is now ‘Thank God,'” she recalls. “Thank God, literally, that I took that break, I guess! I think certain songs just write themselves, and this song is one of those instances.”
Listen to “Thank God” below.
23 years old, the viral sensation – 3.5 million followers on TikTok alone – has issued hit after hit. “Thank God” follows such streaming juggernauts as “Pardon My French” and “Good Kisser,” both released earlier this year. With her latest emotionally charged entry, she proves her staying power – and she shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. She’s just getting started.

The non-equilibrium crystallization of Cu3Au with cooling rate near criticality
G Chen and CJ Wang and P Zhang, COMPUTATIONAL MATERIALS SCIENCE, 112, 80-86 (2016).
The non-equilibrium crystallization of liquid Cu3Au is researched by molecular dynamics here. It is shown that only when cooling rate is lower than 2.0 x 1012 K/s, measurable crystal can be found in the model. Ozawa model can well describe the non-isothermal crystallization kinetic process of the Cu3Au. Structure analysis indicates that face-centered cubic (FCC), hexagonal close-packed (HCP) and body-centered cubic (BCC) exist in the crystal. As metastable phase, BCC structure is in a way that cohesion 111 of stable phase (FCC) with its 110 to reduce the misfit of the interface. By analysis the evolution of disorder structure, it can be found that many short-range order (SRO) clusters form accompany with the crystallization process. Additionally, these SRO clusters with structure close to crystal promote the nucleation and growth process of crystal. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

James McLauchlan Nairn was a New Zealand painter who (along with G. P. Nerli) strongly influenced New Zealand painting in the late 19th century. He believed in en plein air or painting outdoors.
Nairn studied at the Glasgow School of Art for four years from 1879 before enrolling as a student at the Académie Julian in Paris. During the 1880s Nairn exhibited work at the Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts and the Royal Scottish Academy and was associated with the Glasgow Boys - a group of Scottish artist interested in Impressionism.
Nairn emigrated from Glasgow to Dunedin for his health in 1890. He moved to Wellington in 1891, where he was appointed as an art instructor at the Wellington Technical School. He lectured on art and conducted classes for the study of the nude figure. He introduced Impressionism of the Glasgow school to New Zealand and influenced other New Zealand artists such as Dorothy Kate Richmond, Maud Winifred Sherwood, Mabel Hill, Maude Burge and Mollie Tripe.
Nairn’s Impressionist style is conveyed in his many paintings of Wellington harbour, especially in "Wellington Harbour, 1894" where his visible brushstrokes capture the effect of the afternoon sun on the water. He painted this landscape en plein air to more truthfully capture the effect of light on water.
Nairn joined the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts soon after settling in Wellington and was elected to the Council from 1890 to 1903. He also formed the Wellington Art Club which met regularly at Nair's Pumpkin Cottage. The cottage became a gathering point for Wellington artists. Nairn's influence was felt throughout New Zealand as he regularly sent works for exhibition in other centres.
He married Ellen Smith on 17 March 1898 and they had two daughters, Mari Bhan and Ellen May Victoria.
He died at his home in Wellington on 22 February 1904, probably of peritonitis. He was 44.

RESOURCES-TIPS: For writers of all genre who want to write, and the readers who love them.
Teach Yourself to Write
By Shirley Jump
You, too, can teach yourself to write. No, this isn’t an infomercial with Ron Popeil. It’s not a classified ad looking to take your money in exchange for nothing. It’s true advice for aspiring writers who come from nontraditional backgrounds and who want to learn how to write.
Many people feel daunted by their lack of a degree and think they shouldn’t be a writer because they didn’t go to college. While a degree is a wonderful tool, it’s not a necessity to make it in this industry. The key is learning to analyze the articles in your targeted markets and then adapt your words to fit those parameters. Although I have a degree in English, I learned very little in four years that I didn’t already know (except maybe the difference between an iamb and a trochee). Like most writers, my education came from the school of life, taught by my friends in the industry.
The first step is analysis. You already know you have to study the magazines you want to write for. Go beyond the masthead and delve into the articles. Get out your highlighter collection and color-code the amount of narrative as opposed to quotes from experts, the number of tips, the length of the introduction and the conclusion.
Then look at how the article was constructed. Virtually all articles follow the same pattern: Problem, analysis of the way to solve it, and happy resolution. In the typical women’s magazine, you might see an article entitled “Seven Steps to Slimmer Thighs.” Problem: chubby thighs. Steps to Solution: Seven exercises. Resolution: Do this for six weeks, and you’ll fit those college jeans.
Notice how much of the material was backed up by experts. Did the writer let the quotes do the work or did he use expert advice to enhance the material?
Now look at the tone and voice of the piece. Is it written in a breezy, conversational manner, like you might talk to a neighbor? Or is it more serious, filled with the kind of vocabulary words you dreaded in high school? Is it written in first person (I) or third (she and he)? Is it short and concise or filled with information?
Before you write your own article, write up an outline of the ones you studied. This will provide an accurate framework for writing. No one’s going to grade you on it, so just write it any format you wish (and if you can remember any Roman numerals over three, you get extra credit).
When you write your own article, mimic the ones you studied. Notice I didn’t say copy – just emulate them. Never, ever plagiarize another’s work. Then ask a good friend or colleague to read the one you studied and compare it to yours. Get honest feedback on whether you have accomplished your goal.
These steps are the quick fix to teaching yourself to write. The best way to understand the concepts of writing is to take classes, especially the targeted ones available online or in community education programs.
Join writing groups. There are hundreds of them available, but look for one that offers local meetings and opportunities. The Society of Professional Journalists (www.spj.org), of which I’m a member, is just one group with workshops and conferences for members around the country. You can find conference listings at http://writing.shawguides.com. A two-day conference is usually cheaper than a three-credit college class and will cover a wider variety of materials.
Join a critique group, either online or in real life. Try to be paired with someone who is further along in her career than you are. If you and your partner are both floundering around in the dark, neither of you will be much help to the other. Most experienced writers are more than willing to assist new writers.
Finally, never stop learning. I have been writing for more than twenty years and yet I still take classes. I learn something new every time and look at my craft in a slightly different way when the class is over. Education is a lifelong process that constantly challenges you to strive harder and write better.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women and people of most racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. One person dies every 33 seconds in the U.S. from cardiovascular disease (CVD), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
For underserved populations, accessing a cardiologist can be a significant challenge as the country faces a looming shortage of these specialists. Residents living in cardiology desert counties may have to commute well over 80 miles to reach the nearest cardiology clinic, according to data from GoodRx.
Collectively, the U.S. spends more than $320 billion—or 15% of the total health expenditure—treating or managing CVD. More than 1 in 4 Medicaid beneficiaries have some form of CVD, rates that are often much higher than in other populations, according to KFF data. People on Medicaid also have high rates of the common risk factors that contribute to CVD, including hypertension and high cholesterol.
MedArrive, a care management platform offering in-home care, is collaborating with virtual cardiology player Heartbeat Health to close this crucial care gap. The two companies are working together to connect those at risk with a network of high-quality cardiologists.
The partnership brings important care services into the home for health plans using MedArrive, especially those that serve Medicaid beneficiaries, executives said.
Former Lyft and Uber executive Dan Trigub launched MedArrive in 2020 with a unique approach to home health. The company provides a variety of longitudinal care management programs that are white-labeled on behalf of health plans and can extend care services into the home.
MedArrive works with payers and providers, leveraging its platform and connecting patients with its field-provider network of highly trained and skilled paramedics, EMTs and other healthcare professionals. The startup has more than 50,000 highly-skilled EMS providers in its national network.
Providers visit the homes of enrolled members on behalf of their plan, offering healthcare services and diagnostics while addressing social care needs. For higher acuity care, members can be referred to physician-led telehealth support through MedArrive’s partner ecosystem.
These field providers also address social care needs like transportation, mobility or nutrition assistance.
By adding Heartbeat Health, MedArrive field providers can connect people with cardiologists virtually to address a variety of use cases.
Founded by cardiologist-entrepreneur Jeff Wessler and launched in 2017, New York City-based Heartbeat Health developed a virtual-first model that uses real-time clinical data and device connectivity, such as through an ECG monitor send to patients' homes, to deliver a range of clinical services, including same-day diagnostic reads, televisits and virtual care programs.
“With our virtual-first model, Heartbeat Health and MedArrive can together focus on critical underserved populations in rural and urban areas where access and social determinants of health (SDOH) make cardiology care an obstacle for Medicaid patients," Wessler, M.D., told Fierce Healthcare. "These types of partnerships with specialty groups like Heartbeat Health help at-risk patients with lack of access to cardiac care, and also help contribute to cost savings which can be critical for Medicaid beneficiaries."
By partnering with Heartbeat Health, MedArrive can support health plans members with existing CVD or connect those at-risk with a cardiologist from the comfort of their home. For members with chronic heart failure or who are enrolled in a case management program, MedArrive field providers can coordinate care with Heartbeat Health cardiologists and the health plan case management teams to assist with medication titration or to assess potential new symptoms.
The integrated approach holds significant importance for engaging underserved populations, including people in rural regions or economically disadvantaged urban areas where accessing cardiology care presents greater challenges, according to Trigub.
"Heart disease may be the No. 1 killer of all people in our country, but in the intricate web of health disparities, the vulnerability of individuals on Medicaid to heart disease is an undeniable fact. They face a perfect storm of limited access to quality healthcare, socioeconomic challenges and systemic inequalities that amplifies their risk,” Trigub said. "Collaborations like ours with Heartbeat Health weave together compassion with more comprehensive and accessible care to ensure that no heart is left behind.”
MedArrive has served patients and run programs in nine states including Texas, Florida, California, Georgia, Arizona and New Jersey. The company says it has served thousands of patients across its programs, many of which they see multiple times across their longitudinal programs.
MedArrive has built out partnerships with other digital health and virtual care companies to offer specialty services, including for behavioral health in partnership with Brave Health. The company also collaborates with Ouma Health to offer maternal health and teamed up with tele-ophthalmology startup Spect to perform critical eye screenings.
The company secured $8 million in fresh funding last April, led by Cobalt Ventures, a subsidiary of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City. MedArrive has raised more than $40 million to date, including a $25 million series A round in November 2021.
Heartbeat Health has raised $28 million, according to Crunchbase, including a $20 million series B funding, round in 2021 led by Echo Health Ventures with participation from DaVita Venture Group, .406 Ventures, Optum Ventures, Kindred Ventures, Lerer Hippeau, Designer Fund and Max Ventures.

On 28 February, 2012, IEEE and the SME-UNION jointly organized a Working Breakfast – titled “Global Standards for Europe in the ICT sector” – at the European Parliament.
IEEE is the world’s largest technical professional association, dedicated to advancing technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. It has a wide network of 400,000 members, over 50,000 of whom are European. IEEE and its members inspire a global community through IEEE's highly cited publications, international conferences, technology standards, and professional and educational activities.
The Breakfast was moderated by Paul Rübig, Member, European Parliament. Among the keynote speakers were Katrine Mulvad Thomsen, Counsellor of the Danish Permanent Representation to the EU; Liliana Brykman, Director at the European Commission DG Enterprise and Industry; John Kulick, Vice Chair of the IEEE Standards Association Standards Board; and Karine Iffour, Director of Business Development in IEEE’s European Headquarters. Impulse statements were given by Dirk Weiler from ETSI, Rebekka Porath from Digital Europe and Martin Prager from PIN-SME.
Mr. Kulick noted the ubiquity of IEEE standards and their value in our everyday lives, demonstrating that they are present even in the European Parliament.
Adoption of the standardisation package will encourage innovation and growth in the IT sector by enhancing interoperability in networks and systems. It will help Europe keep pace with fast-moving technology, and will assist SMEs in their key sectors.
Recognition of globally accepted ICT technical specifications is important for policy and procurement. Policy areas of the European Union such as security, accessibility, eHealth, sustainability, eTourism, and eGovernment will all benefit. Public procurement will be given the freedom to maintain interoperability across the European Union. The recognition criteria described in Annex II are highly relevant as they ensure openness, consensus, neutrality, quality and transparency. The inclusion of the suggested language on coherence, however, could lead to unintended complications, for instance by forcing the referencing to some European standards that were not adopted by the market.
The Multi-Stakeholder Platform for ICT Standards was supported by all stakeholders present at the Breakfast as the unique body to advise the European Commission on ICT technical specifications that can be recognized. In the Multi-Stakeholder Platform, all parties are represented (Member States, European Standardisation Bodies, Industry, SMEs, Societal Stakeholders and ICT Standards Developing Organisations) by ICT standardisation experts. Additional consultation beyond the Platform may cause delays and endanger the process efficiency and the competitiveness of the ICT European market.
IEEE calls for simplification and harmonisation of the current situation, in which each member state has different criteria to reference ICT technical specifications. This current situation can lead to a lack of interoperability across Europe and with the rest of world, impacting European competitiveness. In summary, IEEE supports adoption of the standardisation package, including the multi-stakeholder platform, and believes it will result in benefits to European society and a more competitive European industry.

A Startling Fact about Healthy Food for Small Baby Uncovered
Your infant could be constipated if her or his poop is hard and looks like pebbles. By this time, your baby is all but ready to eat adult food. As your baby becomes used to more texture, gradually reduce the quantity of liquid used. Babies eat the majority of the same nutritious foods as we eat.
Babies generally need to feed themselves, Dietz states. In developed countries, they are now often started with commercially produced iron-fortified infant cereals, and then move on to soft fruits and vegetables. Your infant may also like soft mashed foods such as bananas. Your baby also requires loads of healthful fats for her brain development, so consider choosing the whole dairy instead of low-fat versions. Your baby doesn’t need teeth to chew. Even though it can happen whenever your baby is drooling, mucus in baby poop may also be an indication of infection. At the start of the 20th century in the USA, most babies began eating baby food around age seven months.
What Everybody Dislikes About Healthy Food for Small Baby and Why
A baby corn consists of folic acid. It contains vitamin C that helps rejuvenate our skin cell, which in turn will make healthy skin. It is a great nutrition-packed addition to any weight loss diet. It is a portion of good low-carbohydrate food for people on diets that cut carbohydrates. Some people believe baby corn comes out of a small plant. Folates Baby corn is a wonderful supply of B vitamins.
Healthy eating habits are somewhat more likely to stay with you in case you learn them as a kid. Healthy eating habits are among the important role in achieving excellent health. It is crucial to create healthful habits early on. Healthy food habits can decrease the possibility of chronic diseases.
What Healthy Food for Small Baby Is – and What it Is Not
Keep the infant’s food clean to be sure it stays safe. Foods are grouped since they provide similar amounts of the main nutrients of that food group. There are, naturally, as many ideas of what makes a proper first food because there are food choices. Conclusion Feeding your Shih Tzu the most effective dry food you’re able to afford is crucial. Fast food isn’t health food and never will be, or so the notion is never to make it a tradition. If pureed food isn’t being used immediately, refrigerate quickly. While the very same finger foods are acceptable for a 6-month-old since they are for a one-year-old baby, you can start to offer bigger pieces which they can bite off themselves as they become more confident.
Eating a nutritious quantity of food helps your body do all the important jobs it should do. It’s also important to relish several foods within each one of the Five Food Groups because different foods vary in the quantity of the critical nutrients they provide. There’s a massive number of foods out there which are both healthy and tasty. In reality, sometimes, you need to eat a few of the foods in each food group a few times per week. Healthy food is just one of the essential role in leading a healthy life. Making your very own wholesome baby food can help you save you over $600 a year!
Some think the biggest aspect of our diet ought to be coming from carbs, while some believe they are downright toxic. A wholesome diet is a significant part of a healthful lifestyle at any moment but is especially vital if you’re pregnant or arranging a pregnancy. You don’t have to go on a particular diet, but it’s important to eat a selection of different foods every day to acquire the proper balance of nutrients which you and your baby need. If your diet is poor to start with, it’s even more important to make certain you have a wholesome diet now. So, essentially the baby food diet is a low-calorie diet program and just as any other low-calorie diet, provided that you decrease the number of calories you eat every single day, you should slim down. Since fat is a significant part of a healthful diet, instead of adopting a low-fat diet, it’s more important to concentrate on eating more beneficial excellent fats and limiting harmful bad fats. Healthy fats are a significant part of our diet.
With the gelatin you can bind the foods that you make and set. If you’re going to use your infant food immediately and you only made a little portion, you may store in your fridge for up to 3 days. Baby food doesn’t need to be complicated, and in the majority of places on the Earth, it isn’t. Creating your baby food is not just effortless but economical. When you get the hang of making your very own organic baby food, you will be in a position to prepare a day or two of food ahead of time.
Luckily, baby food is rather simple to prepare. The infant’s food can be well prepared with virgin olive oil. It’s also quite inexpensive, in contrast to baby food you purchase in the store and demands no resource-intensive packaging or shipping to the shop. Homemade baby food is less costly than commercial baby foods.

Rubbing elbows at a pre-Emmy party on Monday night in Hollywood for members of the Television Academy were two Louisiana actors.
Gonzales native Shanna Forrestall ("The Astronaut Wives Club," "Indiscretion") posted a photo on Facebook of her and Baton Rouge actor Louis Herthum ("Westworld," "Longmire") catching up at the Montage Beverly Hills soiree.
The party is one of many leading up to Emmy night on Sunday, Sept. 17.
Forrestall's appearance came one day after her outdoor wedding to financial specialist Gary Ybarra on Sunday at Women's City Club of Pasadena.
Aaron and Jency Hogan, of Eye Wander Photo in Baton Rouge, flew in to shoot the nupitals, Forrestall said.
Actor Tim Powell ("How to Get Away with Murder," "Mercy Street") performed the ceremony.

Bacon Wrapped Smokies
These are not your average smokies—in addition to being wrapped in high-quality bacon, these game-time snacks are coated in a simple mixture of brown sugar, honey, and garlic powder. The brown sugar creates a traditional molasses-sweet coating for the bacon but the touch of honey lends a bright and unique sweetness to the glaze. While in the oven, the bacon wrapped smokies render some bacon fat that encourages the brown sugar-honey mixture to mingle with the other flavors while caramelizing on the surface. The sweetness of the sugar is complimented by a hint of punchy garlic powder. Altogether, this simple combination makes for a rich, salty and sweet snack that is all too easy to eat (and make) on game day. If you like a little spice, we also call for optional red pepper flakes to be sprinkled on top of the smokies before they bake to give a slight kick of heat that cuts through the richness of the bacon and caramelized sugar. Great when eaten by themselves or with your favorite dipping sauce, these Bacon Wrapped Smokies will set a higher standard for this beloved party snack.

Fewer people could've led a more quiet, secluded life than Gail, but the media always seemed to find her through her "sets" on Polyvore.
The two most notable media giants that featured Gail were The New Yorker magazine and Glamour magazine.
In March of 2010, Polyvore, a social media startup company (now defunct), flew Gail to San Francisco for an interview to fill an opening in their marketing department. Gail was a major contributor of fashion "sets" on Polyvore's social media website, and had received the invitation to interview for the position after striking up friendships with several of the company's marketing executives while attending fashion week junkets as Polyvore's guest.
Coincidentally, during Gail's interview visit to Polyvore's corporate headquarters, a reporter from The New Yorker magazine was also there gathering info for a feature article on the Polyvore company. There had been no intention to interview Gail, but upon meeting her, writer Alexandra Jacobs, found Gail to be personable and interesting enough to work Gail into her story for the March 29 print edition of The New Yorker.
In December of 2010, Glamour ran a short web-only feature on Gail entitled
Here's an extract of that article:
Gail is wearing: Calvin Klein leather ruched dress, Anne Klein over-the-knee-socks, Charles Jourdan suede open-toe shoe-boots, Michael Kors chain detail clutch, Kenneth Jay Lane ring, and Lucy & Laurel charm necklace.

- "Legends of Charlemagne" focuses on the heroic tales and legends of the Frankish emperor Charlemagne and his legendary paladins.

Thomas Bulfinch crafted his retellings of these ancient stories with clarity and simplicity, making them accessible to a wide range of readers, from scholars to casual enthusiasts.

Laura Anderson Barbata started her international stilt-dancing collaborations in 2001 in Trinidad and Tobago, and since then has forged links between communities in the United States and Mexico. A traveling exhibition focused on the precarious performance practice opened earlier this month at BRIC House in Brooklyn.
“I want to think of the stilts as a metaphor of looking at our society from an elevated perspective, and how all of us collaboratively can learn, respect, and also enjoy this coming together of cultures,” Barbata said in this discussion with Brooklyn Independent Media. Transcommunality: Laura Anderson Barbata, Collaboration Beyond Borders fills the gallery of the recently opened BRIC House with 20 towering stilt-dancing costumes stretching up to 17 feet tall, along with photographs, videos, and sculptural pieces.
Previous iterations of Transcommunality were staged in museums in Mexico, where the Mexico City-born, New York-based artist still spends much of her time. The looming outfits, with fabric from West Africa, Mexico, and Brooklyn, aren’t as thrilling in the gallery as when they’re inhabited by the moko jumbie stilt walkers — where the tassels and swirls of colorful fabric come to kinetic life — but they are beautiful to examine up close. Likely most familiar to an NYC audience are the super-tall businessman suits parading in the corner, created for Barbata’s 2011 Occupy Wall Street collaboration with the Brooklyn Jumbies, a stilt-walking group that regularly appears in the West Indian Carnival. Much of the stilt-dancing has a vibrant energy of fun, yet it’s also vital as a tool of protest, a cultural community practice, and in some parts of the world a spiritual tradition.
While ongoing participatory art initiatives are Barbata’s major focus, one of her most significant advocacy projects was in the repatriation of the remains of Julia Pastrana. Pastrana was exhibited in her lifetime in the 19th century as “the ugliest woman in the world” for the dense hair that covered her body, and her corpse was preserved after she died in 1860. Barbata worked to get the body returned from Oslo, Norway — where the remains were held by a research institute — so that Pastrana could finally be buried in her home country of Mexico in February of 2013.
This isn’t immediately connected to the stilt-dancing, but both of the projects have an assured confidence in art as a means for social change. The exhibition at BRIC, which you can explore from the floor of the gallery or view from the cafe up above, may feel static compared to the videos of the performances on the wall, but it’s interesting to pause and more quietly think of how reviving traditions and getting groups involved in international collaboration could have a real impact on sustaining cultural traditions.
Transcommunality: Laura Anderson Barbata, Collaboration Beyond Borders continues at BRIC House (647 Fulton Street, Downtown Brooklyn) through August 31.

In 2013, President Obama issued a directive to the U.S. Office of Management and Budget that put forth policy to implement evidence and innovation in federal budgeting decisions. Last month the Brookings Institution released ‘Show Me the Evidence,’ a book that tells the story of the administration’s ‘Evidence and Innovation Agenda’ (
) and current efforts to implement evidence-based management in policy initiatives.
Jon Baron, President, Coalition for Evidence-Based Policy, gives praise to the work stating:
Show Me the Evidence
is a work of great insight and integrity by a respected Republican scholar, about Obama Administration initiatives to use scientific evidence on “what works” to guide government social spending. In a thorough and balanced account, the book depicts the vision and commitment of government officials willing to depart from the usual recipe of more spending as the answer to social problems, and to focus instead on whether money is being spent in ways that truly improve people’s lives. These pages illuminate a path to effective government that transcends endless partisan debate about more spending versus less. – Jon Baron, President, Coalition for Evidence-Based Policy.

I'm starting a AD&D campaign using 1st edition rules (old school I know) You don't have to live anywhere near me to play. You just have to make the commitment to a few posts per week.
Basically here's how it would work.
We get at least 3-6 players who all are willing to post at least twice a week. Ideally, we don't use email, but rather create a blog board page where the DM posts the scencario and the players post below as comments on that thread.
Players will roll up characters and send to the me along with perhaps a backstory on the character.
DM will send out a opening scenario and leave you with some decisions. Players make their moves and leave the DM with a handful of d20 rolls and damage rolls.
Example: DM: Your ranger's skills paid off and the 3 gnolls have no apparent recognition of your approach to their campsite. Player 1: Ranger: I'll charge the largest of the 3 gnolls by the fire with my 2-handed sword. My first 7 d20 rolls are (x, y, z, etc.) and damage if I hit would be (a, b, c, etc)
Player 2: Cleric: I'll drop a blindness spell on the archer sentry in the tree and then wade in with my mace (die rolls, etc)
Player 3: Thief: I'm going to toss a flask of oil on the campfire to startle the othe gnolls and then try to dispatch the blinded archer. DM's next post: The gnolls are caught by complete surprise as a flash of blinding light goes off along with a dwarven cry of "MORADIN". Up in the tree and the gnoll archer loses his balance as he clutches at his eyes and falls to the ground.
Before they can even register this, a second flash followed by an explosion of flames burst from the campfire as the thief's oil flask explodes on the stones. The ranger's sword misses badly and he almost trips into the conflagration, but recovers just in enough to take a glancing blow from the gnoll's bardiche... etc...
I know of at least 1 and possibly 2 other people who would be interested in playing. I'd prefer AD&D 1st or 2nd edition rules. Not getting bogged down with 3rd edition stats and feats and such.
Let me know if you're interested and I'll start an email group and get this moving.

A massive 76 new games have been made backwards compatible with modern Xbox consoles but there won’t be any more after this.
Back in the Xbox 360 generation nobody cared about backwards compatibility. Sony actually took it out of the PlayStation 3, to move people away from buying PlayStation 2 games, and there were relatively few complaints.
In the darkest days of the Xbox One though, when Microsoft seemed to have no significant exclusives of its own and little prospect of mounting a comeback against Sony, they made backwards compatibility such a central feature of the console that it became one of the Xbox’s killer apps.
You can see the full list of 76 games below but considering what a good job has been done up to this point there were relatively few of note left anyway, with the most significant titles being the Max Payne, F.E.A.R., and Dead Or Alive games.
The new additions were announced during a 20th anniversary Xbox livestream on Monday evening but what was only clarified in an Xbox Wire blog afterwards, is that there will now be no more games added to backwards compatibility – so if your favourite game is still missing it always will be.
‘This latest and final addition of 70+ titles to the backwards compatibility program was only possible through the passion and feedback from the community’, writes Microsoft’s Peggy Lo.
‘While we continue to stay focused on preserving and enhancing the art form of games, we have reached the limit of our ability to bring new games to the catalogue from the past due to licensing, legal, and technical constraints.’

Vertex Holdings is looking to launch a S$200-250 million ($150-185 million) special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) on the Singapore Exchange (SGX), according to sources close to the matter.
Vertex Holdings is one of Southeast Asia’s oldest venture capital funds, managing around $6 billion of assets globally.
The Temasek-backed venture capital firm is understood to be filing its application with the SGX this month, and is likely to be one of the first blank cheque firms to list in Singapore. Sources add that Vertex is aiming to list its SPAC by the end of this year.
The size of Vertex’s SPAC vehicle is understood to be a little higher than the minimum value of S$150 million set by the exchange, indicating that it may choose to merge with a slightly larger target of around S$1 billion.
Sources add that Vertex is seriously considering merging its upcoming SPAC with one of its investee companies, of which there are several across its global portfolio of six funds across the US, China, Israel, India and Southeast Asia.
Vertex will join roughly 2-3 other blank cheque firms to form the first tranche of “Singapore Inc SPACs” — all aimed at building dealflow for the SGX which is banking on this alternative asset class to revive its listings. The names said to be part of this first tranche include private equity firms Novo Tellus and Tikehau Capital.
Temasek subsidiary Heliconia Capital, while previously showing interest to be a SPAC sponsor, is now more keen to become a private investment in public equity (PIPE) sponsor in upcoming opportunities, added sources.
The SGX has suffered lacklustre trades, corporate scandals and delistings in recent times. Since the beginning of 2021, there have been just four listings on the SGX Mainboard raising S$314 million ($231 million) in total.
Observers point to the rise of regional bourses like Indonesia’s IDX and Thailand’s SET which are set to capture unicorns emerging from their local markets, thanks to ample liquidity on their exchanges.
Singapore on the other hand, while home to many Southeast Asian tech giants, has already lost three tech unicorns to foreign exchanges. They are NYSE-listed Sea Ltd, Hong Kong-listed Razer, and Nasdaq-bound Grab which is set to list by the end of this year as part of a record $40 billion SPAC merger with Altimeter Acquisition Corp.
Singapore has so far shown that it is trying earnestly to reverse this trend.
Last month, the Southeast Asian city-state unveiled a package of funding and incentive measures as part of efforts to attract high-growth enterprises to list locally. These include a $1 billion co-investment fund called Anchor Fund @ 65, as well as a $500 million pre-IPO fund by EDBI aimed at investing directly into growth-stage firms with a view to publicly list on the SGX.
DealStreetAsia has reached out to Vertex Holdings for comment.

Asian stocks stumbled and oil prices extended a punishing sell-off on Thursday as investors feared an historic drop in long-term U.S. bond yields could portend a recession globally.
The threat to global demand took a heavy toll on oil prices, with Brent crude losing another 0.6% to $59.12 a barrel, after shedding 3% overnight. U.S. crude was last down 0.4% at $55.03.
Safe-haven gold gained 0.3% to $1,521.00 per ounce XAU=, not far from its highest since April 2013.
Spooked investors stampeded to the safety of sovereign debt and drove yields on 30-year Treasuries to all-time lows at 1.965%. Yields have now fallen a staggering 60 basis points in just 12 sessions to pay less than three-month debt.
Yields on 10-year paper dropped to 1.545%, taking them under two-year paper. Such an inversion was last seen in 2007 and correctly foretold the great recession that followed a year later.
“The yield curves are all ‘crying timber’ that a recession is almost a reality and investors are tripping over themselves to get out of the way as economic recession hurts corporate earnings and stocks can drop as much as 20%,” said Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at MUFG Union Bank.
The only saving grace was that the sheer scale of the scare would be bound to alarm central banks everywhere and likely draw a policy response, especially from the Federal Reserve.
MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan dropped 0.7% and briefly touched a seven-month low.
Japan’s Nikkei average .N225 was off 1.3%, while China’s benchmark Shanghai Composite. SSEC lost 0.4% and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng. HSI stood flat on the day.
All three of the major U.S. stock indexes tumbled about 3% overnight, with the blue-chip Dow .DJI posting its biggest one-day point drop since October.
Global growth woes have mounted as the Sino-U.S. trade war claimed ever more victims, with the German economy contracting in the June quarter and a truly dire set of activity data for July out of China.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday seemed to tie a U.S. trade deal with China to a humane resolution of the weeks of protests wracking Hong Kong.
A top Australian central banker on Thursday warned a world downturn could become “self-fulfilling” if the uncertainty over trade led businesses to put off investment indefinitely.

Handling materials throughout the production process, and participating in their transformation - from liquid to solid, from ingot to wire, and from a flat sheet into a three-dimensional object - brings me a special thrill that keeps me coming back again and again.
Although I work with a variety of metals (see below), it is my fascination with woven wire cloth that usually takes center stage. I first developed this interest during the early 1990s, when I became enthralled by an art exhibit in Paris that featured a moire pattern formed by overlapping layers of stainless steel mesh. I first got my hands on it when I used it as screen material for a room divider for a furniture design class. Many years later, when I began to work with precious metals, making jewelry, I couldn't resist experimenting with my stainless steel mesh remnants, and incorporating it into my work - to the surprise of my instructor and fellow classmates. Metal mesh is traditionally used for filters in industrial systems, or as a structural base for sculptures in the art world, but it wasn't common in jewelry-making.
My fascination with stainless steel mesh continues to this day. I fold, crinkle, pleat, hammer, wrap, drape, twist the material, treating it almost like fabric, creating voluptuous forms out of flat sheets of metal. Different grades and patterns of mesh, and their intersecting lines, produce complex and dynamic visual effects that change as movement is introduced. In addition, stainless steel is transformed in color as it is heated to different temperatures, so applying a flame patina becomes a wonderfully unpredictable process (the coloring is, however, completely lightfast and not prone to discoloration).
The materials I choose to work with are 'friendly' to the human body (non-toxic and smooth to the touch), and I place high value on utilizing surplus metal mesh from industrial applications. "Repurposing" is at the core of my work ethic. I attribute this to an inherited "make-do" Argentine mentality, reinforced by a sense of economy in design (no more or no less than what is needed).
I like to think that perhaps the invisible trace of my hand, tool, or gesture, is left behind in each piece. What the viewer, or wearer discovers through their interaction with the work is equally intriguing and valuable to me as an artist.


text: Their latest collection named “Whittle Away” was developed as part of the “What’s your DNA?” exhibition at Dutch Design Week 2017. The collection consists of a free-standing cabinet and a wall-mounted cabinet with the outermost layer peeling away. Made from pine with a hard wax finish, this unique surface was inspired by the way bark peels away from a tree to release something new and unspoiled underneath. The thin layers of wood are paired with minimalist, vertical strips, revealing colorful wooden panels, a sort of “ambiguous DNA”. The designers were also inspired by heritage, crafts and stories that have been passed down through generations, creating furniture pieces that combine old-school techniques with modern design. Whittle Away is an attempt to portray the design-DNA that Stoft brings with them to their design process.

Q. I’d like to change some of my garden planting. Is October a good month to transplant? Mary Frey, San Luis Obispo
A. Yes, fall — October (into November in the South County) — is prime time for transplanting or putting new plants in the ground. The soil temperature is still warm, yet the winter rains are hopefully right around the corner. This is a perfect time to plant drought-tolerant plants and let them get established over the winter. Perhaps you can divide clumps of perennials to fill in bare spaces in the garden. You can divide Asters, daylilies, Rudbeckia, Gaillardia and shasta daisies, for example, and also continue dividing iris. Perennials should be in the ground for several weeks to establish root systems before cold weather, so consider your microclimate as you schedule planting.
To add color, cool-season flowers can go into your beds — for example, Dianthus, violets, snapdragons, and sweet peas for early spring bloom.
You can also plant bulbs now: South African bulbs such as Babiana, Nerine and Crocosmia can go in early in the month. Spring flowering bulbs like daffodils can be planted when the ground has cooled, well into November in most areas. Dutch iris bulbs, Cyclamen corms and Ranunculus tubers can be planted, too.
If you are purchasing plants, consider California natives that are adapted to local conditions. Natives and Mediterranean plants can help you save water.
Other chores in the October garden include fertilizing fruit trees; beginning control of weeds (and slugs and snails) that reappear in cool weather; and reprogramming watering systems for fall. Give Azaleas, Camellias and Rhododendrons their last feeding of the year. They are setting buds now, so make sure they don’t dry out. Cool-season lawns can be fertilized in October and new cool-season lawns planted. In the vegetable garden, this is a good time to plant cool season leafy greens: lettuce, mesclun, and arugula will give tasty winter salads.
Local master gardeners will be able to give you more detailed information about which perennials to divide and how to plant.

Vincent Moon is a french filmmaker, photographer and sound artist. He’s mostly known as the main director of La Blogothèque's “Take Away Shows”, where he films famous musicians performing their music in unconventional places. His unique and intimate videos show famous artists from a whole new perspective. Moon’s approach towards video making is somewhat documentary – his music videos are often uninterrupted shots where he follows the bands in the city streets, in the public transportation, and surrounded by people passing by.
Some of the most famous “Take Away Shows” feature R.E.M’s frontman Michael Stipe singing in his kitchen, Arcade Fire performing their ballad Neon Bible in an elevator or the band Grizzly Bear a cappella singing their hit song Knife while walking down the street with a beer in their hands.
Since 2009, Moon dedicates himself to his nomadic label, la Collection Petites Planètes. Crossing the world, his camera and computer in his backpack, making ethnographic-experimental films in an independent way, recording traditional and sacred music, religious and shamanic rituals, then sharing it all for free on the internet, under a Creative Commons licence.
Vincent will present excerpts from his work during the evening, he’ll also talk about his creative process.
Vincent Moon’s visit to the Czech Republic is organised by the Beyond Psychadelic festival. On June 20th Vincent will perform his live Music+Cinema ritual SACRED+S – an experiment in between an improvised film created on the spot, a musical experience welcoming local participants, and research into new forms of ceremonies

A Roma man from the eastern Slovak town of Rožňava, Alexander Részmuves, has laid charges against two policemen he accuses of punching him repeatedly in the face after he was arrested and brought to a town police station. Részmuves admits he was drunk, and was kicking the tires of another man’s car – “I don’t know why, I was drunk and just passing by” – when police arrived and demanded to see his identification. While a police spokesman says the officers used no more force than was necessary to control the drunk assailant, Részmuves says he was taken into custody and repeatedly struck in the nose and mouth by two police officers. He says that after the beating he was told to clean up his own blood, and was taken to hospital to have his nose stitched up. Police say the wounds occurred when he tried to flee the hospital.

For bidding in this lot is a Smith & Wesson Model 64, Double-Action, stainless steel revolver, chambered in .38 S&W Special. The revolver utilizes a K-Frame, original walnut "medallion" checkered grips, 4" fluted barrel, and a six shot cylinder. The Model 64 was introduced in 1970, and is essentially a Model 10. The Model 64 was brought about to supply a wide range of military and police forces around the country. It was adopted over the Model 10 due to its less corrosive stainless steel finish, instead of blueing. The revolver is marked in numerous places, reading; "Smith & Wesson" on the left side of the barrel, "Mod. 64 - 09996 - S" on the cylinder swing arm, "4 - 5 - 09996 - 2 - S - N - 5" underneath the left grip panel, "Made in U.S.A. - Marcas Registradas - Smith & Wesson - Springfield, MASS" on the right side of the frame, "38 S7W. Special CTG." on the right side of the barrel, Serial Number "D555030" on the bottom of the grip, and showing the "Trade-Mark" Smith & Wesson logo on the right side of the frame. The revolver shows very good condition, and is attributed to early production due to its pinned barrel. This revolver qualifies as a Modern Handgun, and requires FFL Transfer, or NICS Background Check. Serial Number: D555030.
